Countess of Pride and Prejudice

The palace under the night looked very majestic and majestic. Earl Max held his wife's hand, but he really didn't notice that his wife's hand was shaking, but it was very natural.

"If I was trembling, would you immediately say, don't worry, I'm here?" Charlotte looked up at Earl Max with a smile on her lips.Earl Max shrugged: "No, I know you won't be afraid at all. How can a woman who can marry me be a coward?"

"Even though I know your words are compliments, I still accept them." Charlotte's words made Earl Max laugh again. The carriage had already stopped, and a waiter came to open the door.Charlotte helped Earl Max's men out of the car. Although the diamond necklace around her neck was brilliant, it was far less bright than her eyes at the moment.

She was supposed to be the woman who belonged here.Earl Max suppressed the agitation in his heart, smiled and walked into the palace with his wife, wondering when his wife would fully understand that she could never escape from all this.

The waiting room was full of people, and when the Countess and Countess of Max walked in, it inevitably caused a small commotion.After all, not everyone has been to the ball in Earl Max's mansion. Many people saw Charlotte for the first time, especially, it was said that this lady had challenged Earl Max.

"I never knew that the wild monkeys in the country can win the hearts of others after challenging them." Such rude words did not make Charlotte's eyelids blink, if even such rude words were unbearable Live, and talk about what makes you feel like a fish in water in London.

"Madam, if you think about it, you are a monkey locked in a cage?" It was Earl Max who spoke.Charlotte knew her husband was sharp-tongued, but she didn't know that he was really mean and unceremonious.

The lady who spoke was pushed out to please others. After all, everyone knew that Countess and Countess Max had offended Madam Helen.And if he offended Madam Helen, he would also offend the noble ladies in their entire club.In such a comparison, the weight of a countess is of course not as heavy as that over there.However, he did not expect Earl Max to be so outspoken.

The face of the lady began to change, and someone had already said with a smile: "God, count, I always thought that after you married a wife, you would become less mean, but now it seems that you are even more mean than before." Some, fortunately Anne..."

"You know me, George. If it's really for your cousin's benefit, then don't mention Anne's name by the way." Remember that Earl Max's first wife was named Anne, so the speaker is Anne's cousin. bro.Charlotte thought so and looked at the speaker.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, and he was quite handsome, but his face was a little pale at the moment.It seemed that the Earl still had a lot to say. Charlotte glanced at Earl Max and did not intend to ask him to introduce him. Instead, she looked at the people waiting in the room calmly.

When you encounter challenges, the more calm you are, the less others will be able to figure out your details.Sure enough, Charlotte's attitude made the voices in the room start to drop.Especially the two who made the attack just now, since they couldn't get everyone's support, their complexions began to turn a little bit bad.

"Honey, let me introduce you. This is a certain Marquis, who is also Anne's cousin. As for this," Earl Max deliberately tried hard to figure out who she was, which made the lady's face change , but the loser did not lose the fight, and her face was almost livid: "I am from Kent, and my husband is..." She reported the name of a viscount.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency the Marquis, Viscountess so-and-so!" Charlotte saluted in such a manner that no one could find any mistakes in her etiquette.

The Viscountess blinked her eyes and returned the salute, but the gesture of returning the salute was very stiff.Earl Max looked at all this in front of him, and those who ignored his wife would eventually be hit, just like himself back then.

"Let's go, dear, I'll introduce some of my friends to you. Some of them didn't come back when we got married." Earl Max didn't want to get too entangled with the two people in front of him, and led Charlotte to the other side.

Charlotte obediently followed her husband away, but when she turned around, she looked into the eyes of the Viscountess with a clear mockery.This kind of person who can't tell the difference between himself and himself, and can't wait to take the challenge, has never been less.

Charlotte exchanged pleasantries with her husband and his friends, and also received compliments about her manners.

Now this body can only be admired by its manners. As for the beauty, if they really want to praise it, Charlotte will still think that it is duplicity.

Time passed very quickly during the pleasantries, and soon the herald came to deliver the order, and Earl Max and his wife had an audience.Earl Max took his wife's arm and looked down at her with obvious inquiries in his eyes.

The wretch, Charlotte looked up at her husband with a smile, and took his arm and went away.

"I hope her skirt is too long, so that she can trip over the carpet." At the moment when Viscountess so-and-so arrived, she couldn't think of any good words, but cursed viciously. Many people are dissatisfied.This kind of dissatisfaction made Viscountess so and so flustered. Not only did she not help Madam Helen beat Countess Max, but was ridiculed by the couple. If Madam Helen knew about this, would she not allow herself to go to her Mansion?

Thinking of this, the madam couldn't help turning pale. Even such a chance to meet the king was obtained only by asking Madam Helen for help.

Just when the lady felt very embarrassed and the people around her didn't come forward to comfort her, Countess Max and his wife had already returned to the waiting room. For Charlotte, court etiquette was a very simple matter.Not to mention such a small audience, and when the Viscountess saw the smile on Charlotte's face, she felt a little annoyed. This woman, who came from such a country, can win the heart of an earl, and now she has an audience with her. After the king, seeing that she didn't look panicked at all, she really wasn't easy to deal with.

"Oh, Countess Max, I'm so glad to see you. I think, your skirt is so long, so you didn't trip over the carpet?" , something else must have happened, so Charlotte still smiled movingly: "Actually, I still don't think this skirt is long enough. I heard that skirts with wider skirts are popular in Paris these few months. .”

Sure enough, as soon as fashion was mentioned, the women became eager, including that Viscountess, who couldn't help pricking up her ears, wanting to hear what kind of skirt Charlotte said.

"In this case, we need to use panniers. Could it be that the Rococo style is about to become popular again?" Charlotte shook her head at such a question: "No, dear madam, you should know that Empress Josephine never They all like luxury, but she dislikes the rococo style, which is too pompous."

This sentence immediately raised more questions. Earl Max and several men listened for a while, and Earl Max said: "So, dear ladies, can you give me back my wife? I need to take her I'm back home. As for these doubts, maybe you can ask them slowly when I'm at my house."

"My God, Earl, we've only just started!" Someone complained, and then clapped his hands together: "However, we have a dance at home tomorrow night, and you two must come."

Count Max accepted the invitation with a smile, and left here with Charlotte.

"I'm really worried about you too much." Earl Max said to Charlotte with a smile when he left the waiting room.

"You have to know that music, fashion, jewelry and cosmetics are topics that never go out of fashion among women. Of course, there are also a few women, such as Elizabeth, who like to read books."

"I finally know why you and Mrs. Darcy can become good friends!" Earl Max stopped to look at his wife, his eyes were very focused: "Because you are all equally mean." Charlotte smiled: "Okay, Earl , I accept your accusation, but don't you think it's better to describe it as sharp instead of mean?"

The two had already come to the carriage, Earl Max got into the carriage, leaned on the carriage and said, "No, I like your meanness better." Sure enough, Earl Max was also very good at talking, Charlotte stopped laughing, Drive with him to Earl Max's Mansion.

Madam Alyssa did not go to rest. When she heard the carriage driving into Earl Max's mansion, Madam Alyssa stood up from the sofa and looked outside almost without blinking.The door of the hall opened, and Countess and Countess Max walked in. When she saw the faces of their husband and wife, Madam Alisa breathed a sigh of relief: "God bless, it seems that everything is going well for you."

"It's you who are praying for us!" Earl Max stepped forward and kissed his mother's cheek, which made Madam Alisa very happy: "No, no, this is Charlotte's performance."

"Of course, it is mainly due to your teaching." Charlotte was not far behind the Earl in being able to say some beautiful words, especially, such beautiful words could make her mother-in-law happy, and Charlotte was very happy to do so.

"It seems that I'm really old, and I haven't seen the cleverness behind you." Mrs. Alisa said with great comfort, but she still asked: "However, I really want to know how much money you received tonight." An invitation?"
