Although Mo Shaoqing was not required to officially attend the ball as Ling Senhao's fiancé, he was still free to move around in the castle.
Seeing the Huaxia snacks and milk tea that he carefully prepared was served, he was very satisfied and a little proud.
At this time, he heard a boy beside him exclaiming: "This steak is really delicious, it must be top-quality beef from country R!"
"Of course not, this must be a high-quality beef raised in the North O Plateau! Only this kind of beef can make such a delicious char-grilled beef tenderloin!" Another boy retorted.
"I said it was from country R!"
"It's clearly from Bei O!"
The two refused to give in to each other, but because of their good upbringing, they could only observe the surrounding situation while arguing quietly, which made people feel ridiculous.
Seeing that a battle for the origin of beef is about to start, how could Mo Shaoqing let him happen!
He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, you two, what you said is wrong!"
The two said in unison: "What? How is it possible?"
"This beef..." Mo Shaoqing changed his voice: "It is actually Huaxia cattle, not the R country cattle and Bei O cattle that you both mentioned!"
Boy A: "Huaxia Niu, what is that? I've never heard of it!"
Boy B came to his senses and agreed, "Having never heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There are so many delicacies in China. It's not surprising that there is such beef. It's just that I didn't know it before..."
It's normal if you don't know, because this is beef produced in space.
Mo Shaoqing teased Xuanxu: "That's right, there are actually such shops in Huaxia that sell beef, but because the breeding conditions for such cattle are very harsh and the output is too small, they are not exported."
The two teenagers are also the sons of nobles. They have never eaten any high-quality dishes, so they naturally know the truth that the more delicious the ingredients are, the harder it is to obtain, so they believed his words very easily.
Next, Mo Shaoqing explained the growth of the cow, the forage it ate, the environment in which it grew, etc., and the two teenagers were taken aback for a moment! On the contrary, I think what Mo Shaoqing said makes sense.
"It's really the best beef!" Boy B exclaimed: "And the family of Duke Lawrence really put their heart into preparing this ball."
Boy A, who had just argued with him, also agreed.
Mo Shaoqing gave them a knowing look.
"Since you know it so well, where can I buy it in Huaxia? I want to buy some for my grandfather!" Boy B asked eagerly.
Boy A rolled his eyes, this is going to be a fight with him! "I want it too, my father loves beef the most!"
Mo Shaoqing raised an embarrassed smile: "This, this..."
He finally knew what it meant to shoot himself in the foot. If he couldn't explain why today, wouldn't what he said just now become empty words!
Ling Senhao, who had been watching secretly for a while, stood up in a timely manner: "Okay, I'm looking for you everywhere, but you are hiding here to relax!"
The two teenagers naturally knew the person coming, and they looked at each other and quickly said hello: "Hello, Your Excellency Lawrence!"
"Yeah." Ling Senhao turned around, which was a reply to them.
Then he said to Mo Shaoqing: "Come with me!" Then he turned around and left.
"Oh oh oh." Mo Shaoqing hurriedly followed, if he didn't leave now, let alone when.
After the two walked away, the two teenagers began to discuss again.
Boy B: "Who is that guy? He actually knows Lord Lawrence."
Boy A: "It's likely to be Lord Lawrence's subordinate. He knows the source of the ingredients so well, maybe he is in charge!"
Boy B: "That's right, probably, the Lawrence family is indeed the mainstay of the nobility, and every steward is so handsome!"
Neither of them expected that the person they had just talked to was Lawrence's "Young Madam" whom all of them were curious about!
Ling Senhao joked: "I thought you would be nervous? I think you are having a great time!"
When the other party saw her embarrassing side, Mo Shaoqing expressed a little unhappiness: "What am I afraid of, isn't it because the sky is falling and there is a tall man to support it! And my mother said that more than half of the women today are here for you of!"
"Hey, you little heartless, you don't feel bad at all, aren't you afraid that I will be snatched away?"
"Don't be afraid, you have such a big appetite, I hope the other party can support you." Mo Shaoqing pretended to be helpless.
Ling Senhao almost laughed out of anger: "Okay, okay, I really can't beat you, I wanted to help you relieve your mood, but you are good, you don't need me at all!"
Speaking of this, Mo Shaoqing suddenly remembered: "I just saw that the wives of many important politicians seem to be there too."
"Yes, you recognize it?" This was beyond Ling Senhao's expectation.
Mo Shaoqing nodded embarrassingly. Ever since he knew the identity of the other party, he has been frantically updating news about country B. The wives of politicians who came here are all old faces on TV news. How could he not recognize them
Ling Senhao looked at Mo Shaoqing's appearance at the moment and the little appearance of "I can't help you" just now, wishing to hug him in his arms and kiss him fiercely, but under the large audience, they could only pretend ordinary relationship.
Ling Senhao took a deep breath: "Although our family is very rich, we are out of politics, so you don't have to worry about tonight's banquet."
While the two were talking, the ball officially started, and some noble ladies and gentlemen arrived late.
Mo Shaoqing had someone hit the pulley under the table before, but now the clouds and mist created by the dry ice covered the hall, forming a natural stage, and the waiters arranged a small dance. The table is pushed aside.
Although it is just a small trick, it still makes guests feel very innovative.
"Hey, long time no see, Anse!" A tall, blond woman came from a distance.
The light was dim, refracted on the blue dress of the starry sky, shining brightly.
"Hello." Ling Senhao seemed to have become the grandson of that lofty Duke again.
I saw him cupping the woman's right hand with both hands, bowing his head and kissing the back of her finger symbolically with his slightly closed lips.
After completing a series of etiquettes, the woman seemed to find Mo Shaoqing suddenly, and asked in surprise: "This is?"
"My lover, Shaoqing Mo!" Ling Senhao said it lightly, as if it was a very normal thing.
Neither the woman nor Mo Shaoqing expected Ling Senhao to speak out so easily.
However, the woman's attitude made Mo Shaoqing very unhappy, but he still maintained good etiquette: "Hello, I am Shaoqing Mo!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand!
The woman was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand, folded her hands, squeezed it lightly, and then let go.
The woman smiled and brushed her hair, her already beautiful face was even more irresistible: "So you are Anse's little lover, I am Elise!"
After the people left, Mo Shaoqing's face collapsed immediately, Ling Senhao amusedly remembered Mo Shaoqing's expression of hen protecting the cub just now: "What's wrong?"
Mo Shaoqing said worriedly: "She won't like you?"
"Haha!" Ling Senhao laughed loudly: "The one just now was Princess Elise!"
"So it's the princess!" Mo Shaoqing stuck out his tongue, making Ling Senhao's eyes dim.
"Yeah, didn't I tell you, my grandfather and the king are cousins, so Princess Elise is mine... eh? We're brother and sister. She's here to make a splash at this ball!"
Mo Shaoqing quickly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary just now, and he didn't seem to say anything that shouldn't be said, otherwise he would have offended the princess.
"What are you worried about?" Ling Senhao asked deliberately.
Mo Shaoqing looked around and said to him: "I'll go and see how the cake that was just baked is doing?"
"Hey, don't go," Ling Senhao grabbed someone who was about to run away.
"Actually, there were many intermarriages among the royal family in ancient times!" Ling Senhao sighed, turning his eyes to Mo Shaoqing, wanting to see his reaction.
Sure enough, Mo Shaoqing was fooled, and said anxiously and in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth? But marriage between close relatives is illegal!" Country B has a long history, so there will inevitably be... and the princess just now was "ambiguous" Attitude, Mo Shaoqing was immediately led astray.
"Of course it's fake, as I said, it's ancient times! And His Highness is already married! I gave her a hand kiss! I'm bluffing you!" Ling Senhao pinched his nose fondly and said.
Realizing being teased, Mo Shaoqing immediately fought back: "Okay, you lied to me. It's okay, if the princess of any country wants to marry you, you should do so!"
"Okay!" Seeing his really angry expression, Ling Senhao hurriedly begged for mercy: "It's all my fault, I will make it up to you tonight..."
Mo Shaoqing blushed, "Who wants you...don't come over here, the guests over there are calling you!"
After finally sending the person away, Mo Shaoqing decided to go to the balcony to get some air.
She has been pregnant for three years, and he hasn't given birth yet. What if he becomes a fool in the future, he will probably be beaten to death by Mr. Ling! Mo Shaoqing poked his head angrily, but heard a nice piano sound coming from the second floor.
Mo Shaoqing was attracted by the sound of the piano and came to the second floor.
But he saw a familiar figure on the balcony playing the piano ecstatically, the tune was beautiful, and Mo Shaoqing was fascinated by it.
At the end of the song, Mo Shaoqing walked forward involuntarily, and whispered: "Zi Yi!"
The man turned his face sideways. Under the moonlight, his exquisite face was both cold and... enchanting
Han Ziyi stood up in surprise: "Shaoqing, why are you here?"
"I..." Mo Shaoqing hesitated for a while. He really didn't know how to tell his good friend. I am the man who "seduced" Mr. Lawrence Jr. in the newspaper and had a tryst with him. You came to this dance just for me!
"What about you?" Mo Shaoqing asked back.
"I'm the pianist invited by Mr. Lawrence Jr. I was practicing just now!" Speaking of this, Han Ziyi was a little proud.
Little Lawrence? Anse
Mo Shaoqing suddenly remembered that he had mentioned to An Si that day that he would come to meet a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, probably because he was afraid that he would be inconvenient, so he invited him over instead.
Mo Shaoqing was moved by Ling Senhao's delicate consideration.
