Watching Mycroft leave, Briel turned his head, with innocent malice on his attentive face, he bent his arms and said to Jane: "Come on, Mrs. Holmes, I will take you to meet some friends." , They have been very curious about you for a long time, and many people have wondered in front of me why Holmes married a poor girl from the countryside."

If it was a real poor girl in the country, she would have been at a loss by Brielle's inconsistent words and deeds at this moment, but who is Jane?

Jane shook her fan, ignoring Brielle's outstretched hand, "Working with Mycroft must be very hard. He has always been strict in his work, and many people are not used to it."

Brielle withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, and said, "You're joking, Mrs. Holmes, do I look like the kind of person who needs to work hard? I am friends with Mr. Holmes..."

Jane looked at Brielle with caring eyes and said, "Mycroft never makes friends with people like you. He doesn't like wasting time on idle fun."

I can't talk today!Brielle twitched the corner of his mouth, the straight ball almost stunned him, but he thought he could still save it, "You can't say that, Mrs. Holmes..." Then he was robbed by Jane again.

"You are not friends, but your manner of talking is too familiar, but you strongly deny that you are colleagues, so... what kind of secret work are you doing, for a certain very respectable lady. Ah, speaking of it, Mycroft Te didn't tell me about this, if it wasn't for you, Your Highness, I wouldn't have guessed it, or I'd better check with Mycroft?"

The smile fades away.jpg

Brielle couldn't keep his expression on. Is the surname Holmes poisonous or something?Are newly married women infected so terribly?When he heard the last sentence, he blurted out "No!"

Brielle knew it was over as soon as the words were out of his mouth, and he glanced at Jane, who was looking at him too.

Well, it's time for a real technical test.

Brielle quickly adjusted his expression and pretended nothing happened. He held out his hand again and said, "Ah, I think the dance is about to start. May I have the honor of asking you to join me?"

Jane chuckled and flatly refused, "I'll just wait here for Mycroft."

Brielle's eyes dimmed, and he tried a few more words, and found that this country girl didn't like oil and salt, didn't like soft and hard things, couldn't be easily cheated, and couldn't be frightened.

Is "Sherlock Holmes" poisonous?

"Mrs. Holmes, why are you here? Where is Mr. Holmes?" When Brielle and Jane were in a stalemate, a couple suddenly intervened. The lady among them was the little friend Jane had known some time ago, so they naturally knew about their relationship today. will come.

After greeting each other, Jane told the truth: "When the three of us were talking just now, Mr. Holmes was suddenly called by a waiter, so I plan to wait for him here for a while."

The little friend, Mrs. Brown, had a good impression of Jane. She had also heard of Prince Connery's nickname. Because she was worried that Jane would be cheated without knowing it, she took Jane away when she left.

Brielle: "..." Thank you for taking her away~

Tired.

Jane and the Browns walked towards the center of the hall together, and finally met the Holmes couple and Sherlock. They lived far away, so naturally they came late, and they just arrived at this moment.

Now that he met the Holmes family, Jian Jian broke up with the Browns and walked together with Holmes.They stood aside and had a conversation. They probably understood the situation just now, and Mycroft came over.

Before Jane had time to ask anything, she saw a gorgeously dressed palace guard walking in from the door and blew the small horn in her hand, which meant that Her Majesty the Queen was coming, and everyone immediately arranged their clothes to welcome the Queen.Mycroft gently squeezed Jane's hand, indicating that it was all right.

The waiters opened the gate and stood in line. Soon Her Majesty the Queen in a black gauze dress came in surrounded by servants. All the men and women in the hall bowed their heads until the Queen walked to the throne and sat down.

"Get up," said the queen, and everyone stood up straight at this moment.

Naturally, the minister's speech followed, and while the minister was giving a speech, Jian Jian blatantly looked at the queen.

Almost everyone in the hall was looking at the Queen, and Jane's behavior was not excessive.

One of Britain's most famous queens, Queen Victoria, is 55 years old.She was very short, Jane estimated that she was less than 1.6 meters, and this was the result of counting the height of the shoes.Considering the queen's age, she is not considered fat, but she is a bit chubby and well maintained.

Since the Queen's husband, Prince Albert, died in 1861, the Queen has been devastated and has never taken off her mourning black dress, which has long sleeves, lapels and a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant around her neck , the pendant is said to contain a small strand of Prince Albert's hair.

Because of the Queen's request, all those who came to the ball can only wear mourning jewelry. The so-called mourning jewelry is jewelry with skulls or black jewelry, which belongs to the kind that you can know the dead in your family at a glance.

For example, Jane, the necklace she wears today has a diamond-encrusted skull and a small cross on her earrings.And the queen herself is wearing a small colorless crown studded with diamonds... If there is no reflection of candlelight, it looks like it is made of iron.

After the death of Prince Albert, the Queen's enthusiasm for political affairs faded, and she seldom appeared in front of the world except for necessary public events, but this did not mean that she gave up her power.

The Queen didn't stay long, she showed her face and left soon, but the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Leopold, who was studying at Oxford University, stayed at the ball.

After the ball started, the first to lead the dance was naturally the Prince of Wales and his wife.

Sherlock has no interest in dancing, he has no partner, and he slipped away without anyone noticing.

Jane pulled Mycroft to the front row. She was very interested in the royal family.

The Prince of Wales is not tall, and his hairstyle is very British...half bald, and his face looks drunk.He was wearing a red military uniform with many medals on it, royal blue ribbons and white trousers, and a golden belt around his waist. His figure could probably be described as strong.

The Prince of Wales has been a dandy known for his extravagance since he was young. It is hard to say what kind of prodigal he is best at, but it is generally accepted that the thing he is worst at is: reading!

Although the Prince of Wales has studied at both Oxford and Cambridge, in the end he did not get a diploma from any school.On the contrary, his father, Prince Albert, just ran to Cambridge to visit him because he was concerned about his situation. After returning, he contracted typhoid and died of it. Clan affairs.

Princess Alexandra, Princess of Wales, is a slender beauty from Denmark. Because Queen Victoria lived in a simple place, Princess Alexandra gradually became the "light" of British fashion and jewelry.

Jane covered her face with a fan, only showing her eyes to look at Princess Alexandra who was circling on the dance floor. With sharp eyes, she took down all the details of Princess Alexandra's clothes, and with Jane Women doing the same thing are everywhere...this is the weather vane for the coming year~

After the dance, the prince was even more out of breath than the princess. He probably felt that his mission was over, so the prince ran to the lounge next to him to rest.A new piece of music sounded, and this time other people gradually stepped onto the dance floor to dance. The Duke of Edinburgh will get married at the end of this month. He didn't want to invite unmarried girls to dance, so he invited his sister-in-law to dance together.

Mycroft and Jane had no intention of going to the dance at this time, and they walked back arm in arm to an unobtrusive corner to chat.Mycroft held Jane's hand as if talking about love, but in fact the topic they were talking about had nothing to do with love.

"Didn't you say that His Majesty is going to meet you? Why isn't this happening again?" Jane was curious, "Then what did the waiter tell you to do?"

"The interview was canceled temporarily, and we didn't know His Majesty changed his mind before." Mycroft asked again, "Why are you with the Browns?"

Jane started running the train with her mouth full, "Because I discovered the little secret between you and Your Highness, I was worried that he would not be with him because of his embarrassment. This is what you want to ask, right?" She blinked, "Is it because of this that you went just now? Little secret?"

The corner of Mycroft's mouth twitched, what is a little secret, is this a secret for them?Although she put some water in, Jane guessed too quickly.Mycroft said angrily, "We'll talk about this later."

Jane felt that she had guessed the heart.

It's no wonder that Mycroft suddenly took the route of civil servants. I'm afraid that the fact that he was sent to the health department before was not entirely due to the epidemic. The cholera was probably an accident, and the audit department was Mycroft's target.

This topic really should be stopped, and Jane thought of another thing, "What does this have to do with that Highness? Why did you call him?"

Mycroft said: "He...is my assistant now, he has such a personality, a bit annoying."

What the hell?And a prince as an assistant?But it's driving you crazy, right?But unexpectedly bumped into it by himself, this IQ moved the world.

Jane gets a glimpse of Mycroft and Brielle's relationship.

After talking for a while, someone came over, and Mycroft and Jane turned to the rest area again.

Young people with partners are dancing on the dance floor. At the moment, only a few older ladies and a few unmarried girls are chatting in the rest area.Mycroft and Jane were not interested in chatting with them, so they each found a drink and left.

They also met Brielle who was flirting with a beautiful brown-haired girl in a corner. The other party laughed and looked up and saw Mycroft and Jane... The smile gradually disappeared.jpg

Mycroft and Jane raised their glasses to Brielle with dizzy smiles.

Brielle: ...the smile suddenly froze.jpg

Mycroft led Jane to wander around the crowd, and he introduced the people in various small circles to Jane in a low voice.

Ah, the one in the Mediterranean is a certain duke, ah, the one covering the center is a certain minister, ah, the one with the lush beard and the reflective head is a shit-stirring stick.

(Crying from all the bosses: No!)

The earl's son had already lost two wives, and he had built up a small circle by his own strength through marriage. The baroness had lost three husbands, and seven daughters set up a party support team...

Jane: "..." ==

The author has something to say: Jane: Your circle is really chaotic.

Mycroft: Yeah, the "expensive" world is a mess.

Brielle: ... ==
