The royal entourage officials expressed dissatisfaction and appealed to the king and queen.
The king had also heard about the news this morning, and yesterday his cousin expressed his joy for having a great-grandson. Today, grandson's daughter-in-law was blackmailed by the media, and he could only turn a blind eye and agree to this matter.
When Mo Shaoqing went downstairs, Mr. Duke had successfully dealt with all the officials, told the king the ins and outs of the matter, and got his consent.
"My boy, do you have any questions?" asked old Mr. Lawrence.
Originally, Mo Shaoqing wanted to formally confess to his family after meeting An Si's parents. But such a sudden incident had already happened, he didn't expect Ans' grandfather and father to do so much for him.
It's not good to refuse now, and it's not good to accept it, but if the news is sent back to China, he can't imagine how angry his parents will be.
"Where my parents are..."
"Oh, mygod, father, you forgot about Shaoqing's parents, and they will be angry if you cut it first and then play it." Claire exclaimed.
Mr. Lawrence: "Then what?"
Ling's mother thought about it carefully: "It's better than this. Shaoqing will prepare for the ball. After all, he will also take on the responsibility of receiving the guests of the Lawrence family in the future. This time, it can be regarded as a practice for him."
Mother Ling took a sip of tea, pursed her lips, and then said: "Then we will find some reporters and announce that we recognize Shaoqing, but we don't disclose his identity to the public, but everyone can feel Shaoqing's status in our family. How about we announce it when the time is right?"
"Good!" Claire clapped her hands: "Then everyone will be happy! This will also avoid some unnecessary troubles. Shaoqing is a public figure, and he can continue his activities in China..."
"Then let's settle it!" Mr. Duke made a final decision.
This year's Alice Ball was temporarily rescheduled to St. Petersburg. As soon as the news got out, everyone was watching the show. Some wealthy daughters even gloated a little. What about the object! Does this mean their chance has come
Beth Courtson is one of them.
Mo Shaoqing just took over the job of preparing for the dance!
That afternoon, the Lawrence family moved back to Fort St. Petersburg, and began to prepare for the dance the day after tomorrow.
Saint-Terbera in the daytime is less mysterious than at night, and more majestic, showing a noble aristocratic aura.
Mo Shaoqing had a hard time preparing for the ball in such a huge castle. In the past twenty years, he has no experience other than organizing school celebrations. What's more, such a grand dance has a completely different meaning from a small shop on the school celebration.
study
Mo Shaoqing was taking notes with a pen. Seeing him looking like an enemy, Ling Senhao comforted him: "Don't worry, mother, sister-in-law and sister will help you, and there are servants too!"
Mo Shaoqing asked back: "What about you? What are you going to do?"
Ling Senhao pretended to cough twice: "I also have something to do!"
"Okay, don't worry, everything will be fine! Look at what you are worried about." Ling Senhao joked.
"Ans is right." Claire walked over, "I discussed with my mother, we will arrange the dance together with the servants, and the rest will be assigned to you, and you will be in charge of cooking the food! OK?"
"OK! Thank you sister." Mo Shaoqing responded obediently.
Cooking food can be regarded as his old profession, and the space is already clear to An Si, so it is up to him to arrange how to get the ingredients out without being suspected.
Ling's mother added: "Shaoqing, your task is the most important. Originally, there were a lot of gold and silver tableware and porcelain handed down from the family, but we are responsible for arranging the dishes... You have to pay more attention to the food. But you don’t have to cook by yourself, it’s too much work, you just write a menu and supervise the work.”
"I will, Mom."
After assigning the task, Mo Shaoqing went to check the information.
The dance party must be in the form of a buffet, so some Chinese dishes must be passed from the beginning. There are also some dishes that Ozhou people don't like to eat, and they can't be served... This makes the range even smaller.
So what kind of dishes can contain the deliciousness of Chinese cuisine without embarrassing the guests
Mo Shaoqing began to make a list. There are no less than twenty kinds of fruits alone, which can be made into tea, salads, etc., and then there are cakes. There are more types of cakes, cupcakes, chiffon cakes, mousse cakes, Butter cake and more.
Mo Shaoqing breathed out, really fucking tired, but what's the use of having more varieties, it's a waste if you can't finish it, how delicious and innovative is the key.
...
On the eve of the prom, Beth had tried on dresses for the last time.
Mrs. Cotterson couldn't hide her pride in her relief: "Beth, you are really charming, I believe little Mr. Lawrence will definitely like you!"
"Mommy!" While Beth was shy, she also had a glimmer of expectation. Marrying into the Lawrence family, her father would be a respectable figure in the high society of country B, and maybe he could also get a title.
So she must stand out at this dance.
Thinking of this, Beth said to the servant: "Bring me the pink diamond necklace for my eighteenth birthday. I want to wear it."
Mrs. Cotterson smiled gratifiedly: "That's right. Sim, go and get K's bracelet..."
Tonight is a sleepless night for many people.
The next morning, Mrs. Cotterson and Beth arrived in City A by plane, and soon a special driver from the Lawrence family took them to the Clare Hotel, where they were groomed and dressed before being sent to Fort St. Petersburg.
At this time, Fort Saint Petersburg has been completely decorated, the ancient fountain has been turned on, and the lawn is decorated with violets transplanted from Combs Manor, as well as flowers and plants brought out from the space by Mo Shaoqing.
"Beth!" someone shouted from afar. A girl in a light blue veil ran up to Beth.
"Charlotte? You're here too?" Beth looked her up and down, sneered in her heart, and came dressed like this.
"My God, Beth, you are so beautiful today, you will definitely find your Prince Charming." Charlotte praised loudly without exaggeration.
That's not it! Beth thought to herself that her target was Mr. Lawrence Jr. Today, no one should be able to surpass her in the limelight, but she smiled sincerely: "Thank you, Charlotte. Let's go in!"
"Mum, I'm going to say hello to Mrs. Lawrence."
"Go, my child, this is the proper etiquette!" After finishing speaking, Mrs. Courtson went to another place to talk with other noble ladies.
At this time, Mother Ling was also surrounded by a group of noble ladies. They scrambled to express their suggestions, and Mother Ling just listened with a smile on her face.
Seeing that Ling's mother didn't panic at all and didn't eagerly ask about their daughter's conditions, and was not interested in their topics at all, they were very surprised and very anxious.
Once upon a time, they were also famous aristocratic ladies, eager to marry into the leading Lawrence family in country B.
As a Chinese, Mrs. Lawrence became the Duke's daughter-in-law. They were actually very unconvinced in their hearts, but they had to admit that she was very good.
These years, they have also been planning to marry their daughter into the duke's mansion. But Mrs. Lawrence, the clinker, ignored them at all, although she was still anxious to find a partner for her son. But the introductions are also some Chinese ladies. How could they be content with this
And this dance was a turning point.
Several people looked at each other and saw the meaning of competition in each other's eyes, and then rushed to tell Ling's mother interesting things, hoping that Ling's mother would take a good look at their family.
Ling's mother didn't refuse outright, but practiced Tai Chi with them, and she knew exactly what kind of calculations they were planning, but this time they were destined to be disappointed, and she, Ling Yurong, was never someone who was manipulated.
No matter how dissatisfied you are with me, why don't you call me Mrs. Lawrence, and flatter me!
When Beth walked into St. Peter's Castle, she felt that her eyes could not see enough.
God, did she come to heaven
The entire castle has lost its previous retro and gorgeous decorations, and the heavy oil paintings have been removed. Instead, white drapes have been chosen as decorations, decorated with flowers, and there are blooming flowers everywhere.
The large chandelier at the top is surrounded by a circle of crystal clear crystal bead curtains. The interior is surrounded by a circle of log-colored tables and chairs. The tables are simply covered with white satin, and there are cute decorations everywhere, and musicians shuttle among them. Two rows of candles are lit on both sides of the stairs to guide people.
At this time, the sky was dim, and small white lights were already lit inside and outside the castle.
There are colorful cakes on the dessert table, and various fruits can make salads at will.
There are also some Huaxia dim sum that she doesn't know, which are also placed on the exquisite glass display table.
The meat in the distance exudes a charming aroma. All the meat is divided into bite-sized pieces and inserted with sticks to ensure that the guests will not touch the lipstick when tasting. And the waiters regularly replace the cold meat to ensure their delicious taste.
Fried rice and pasta are also packed in small plates for people to eat.
There are also dedicated chefs roasting steak and matsutake in the corner. The bartender also dutifully introduces drinks to the present guests.
Omg what is that? Chips and chicken nuggets? Can this get on the table? But the reality is that there are not many people around! ! !
What kind of dance is this? It's simply a large buffet event!
Beth was a little annoyed. She was here to dance, and it would be bad if her skirt was stained with oil or smoke.
What made her even more annoyed was that Charlotte had found something she liked and left her behind, while the others were also tasting all kinds of food, and were intoxicated by it, obviously forgetting about it. It's a prom!
Instead, she was the only one standing here out of place.
