British Empire, at five o'clock in the evening, Earl William's House.
Located in the Earl’s mansion on the outskirts of the Port of London, there is an unprecedented grand noble dinner tonight.
It is said that this time not only many famous nobles but also members of the royal family will be here.
The original intention of the dinner was to celebrate Earl William's re-election as a member of the House of Lords.
At this time, in the back garden of the mansion, goldfish were raised in the circular pool, and the evergreen shrubs were neatly trimmed into criss-cross patterns.
Beside the undulating steps, there are beautifully built statues of the twelve constellations.
As the second son of Earl William's family, Feng Yi did not go to the front hall of the mansion to entertain guests, but hid in the back garden.
He leaned against the Roman pillar next to the statue, played with the pocket watch in his hand twice, and looked up at the man on the steps, "I haven't seen Childman himself. I heard that he never attended this kind of dinner. So sure he will come tonight?"
Shang Yu is wearing a very formal black suit with a dark gold and black bow tie at the neckline, and half of his shirt sleeves and canary cufflinks are exposed on his wrists.
The cufflinks and bow ties are all dark gold backgrounds, and they are also color embellishments that complement each other on men.
He lowers his head and closes his sleeves, his thin lips are slightly sideways, "He will come."
Feng Yi raised his eyebrows somewhat unexpectedly, "Listening to what you mean, I seem to know him well."
Shang Yu's movement of finishing the cuffs paused very delicately, tilted his head to look at Feng Yi, and raised the corners of his lips in a meaningful way.
Half a cigarette, Feng Yi stepped from the statue to the man's side, "My younger brothers and sisters have really returned to China?"
"Hmm."
Feng Yi frowned, "Are you not afraid that she will sneak back with Tan Sri?"
Shao Yan didn't want Li Qiao to have any contact with the Zellman family. This matter was implicitly expressed when he came to the British Emperor.
The man glanced at the cufflinks on his wrists, then raised his head and looked forward, "No, if Tan Sri is in the mirror again, the General Administration of Customs will notify me."
Feng Yi pressed the corner of his mouth and nodded clearly.
Then the two walked down the steps side by side. After a few seconds, Feng Yi stood still abruptly, with a little disbelief in his eyes, "You are in the General Administration of Customs... also have contacts?"
Shang Yu glanced at him for a while, the outline contained a lazy and casual, "very strange?"
Feng Yi squinted his eyes, looking at the figure of the man walking down the steps, and suddenly felt that if one day he becomes a member of the British emperor's royal family, it does not seem to be unacceptable.
After all, Nanyang Shang has few developments, and it is indeed unfathomable.
……
Western aristocratic dinners, the scene is always unprecedented.
Tonight's Earl William's Mansion includes almost half of the noble members of the British Empire.
After all, Earl William re-entered the House of Lords. From a political point of view, it was enough for many aristocrats to come to join in the relationship.
After years of development, the aristocratic honor of the British emperor is no longer as honorable and glorious as in the last century.
In recent years, the royal family has been exploiting the rights of nobles.
The dinner was arranged in the most luxurious William Dam Hall of the mansion. Women wore gorgeous gowns and crowns to show their status. Men were mostly in straight suits or tuxedos. Gentleman culture has always been a personal symbol of nobility.
It can be said that this is a vanity fair where wealth and celebrities gather.
There is still half an hour for the dinner to start. The lights in the mansion have already been shining. The 60-year-old Earl William, wearing the most orthodox tuxedo, stood by the fountain and talked about the affairs of the country with his staff.
Suddenly, the butler came to his ear and whispered a few words, a bit of joy on his wrinkled face.
Earl William hurriedly said something to be unaccompanied, and hurriedly followed the butler to the main entrance of the mansion. His figure was still anxious, and he could be heard from a distance: "Really Prince Wu Lu is here?"
……
On the other side, the courtyard of William Church.
In front of the brown spire of the church lawn, Shang Yu stands with his back to the entrance with his hands.
There are quite a few noble Cavaliers of the William family standing around the church, with solemn expressions and six-way gazes.
In just a few minutes, there was a steady and rhythmic sound of footsteps from the lawn wall in the back garden.
Two rows of royal knights cleared the way neatly in front. The man walking in the middle, wearing an expensive gentleman's gray suit and white gloves on his left hand, walked towards the church lawn unhurriedly.
The distance is shortening, and when the surrounding aristocratic knights saw the Royal Knights and the Red Riding Hood medal on the opponent's chest, they instantly bowed neatly and saluted, "Duke."
This person is the Duke of Childe, the British Emperor who succeeded three years ago, and his ancestor's surname is Xiao.
When the royal knight stood still, Shang Yu slowly turned around in front of the church.
Two men stand in the courtyard of the grand church, their eyes facing each other.
The Duke of Childman has a gentle temperament, and does not look like Shang Yu's sharp edges and corners. His thin lips have a smile all the year round, giving people a gentle feeling like a spring breeze.
But if you look closely, you can find that his eyes are not smiling, cold and cold.
"Long time no see."
The Duke of Childman took the lead to speak, and put one hand on his abdomen, writing his gentlemanly and gracefully in every move.
Shang Yu raised his eyebrows sternly, with one hand into the bag, arrogant and cold, "it's been a long time."
The smile on the corners of the other party’s lips deepens, and the voice is as soft as water, "It looks like you are sure I will come over tonight?"
The man has deep eyes, his thin lips raised a mocking smile, "She is not here, you have no reason not to come."
"That's right." Duke Childman looked down slightly, and walked forward in a leisurely manner. "Although we have different ambitions, we still have a tacit agreement on this matter."
Shang Yu hooked his thin lips, his eyes were sharp, but he hadn't spoken yet, behind the lawn wall beside them, there was an extremely clear footstep.
All the knights made a defensive posture instantly.
Under the dim sky, only the glazed lights around the courtyard made people see how stiff the figure in the black fringed skirt was.
She stood alone by the lawn wall, holding a champagne glass in her hand, with a black veil on her face, only the pair of deer eyes that were exposed were ridiculously stuck on Duke Childman's body. .
The wind blew and moved her veil.
Shang Yu's pupils shrunk to the extreme, and even his handsome face, who had always been incapable of joy and anger, suddenly changed.
Not only him, but even Duke Zellman suddenly grabbed his palm and looked at Shang Yu gloomily, but at the moment he saw him more shocked and terrified than himself, something suddenly collapsed in his heart.
Li Qiao's appearance here is beyond everyone's expectations.
She walked forward step by step, her steps messy and unknowingly.
With the clicking sound, the champagne glass in her hand shattered, and the wine mixed with blood stains dripped into the lawn, but the fragments were held by her without letting go.
Li Qiao walked in front of Duke Childman, a few steps away, as if stepping across thousands of rivers and mountains.
