Chapter 497 (1/2)
”Oh, it's not urgent. I just want to ask if it matters to you. I heard that Li Lijun is also very famous in Japan. I thought she was only famous in the Chinese circle.”
Zheng Donghua's voice was obviously much easier. Zheng Jianguo looked at Camille in the distance and thought of his 21-year-old sister. But when he was young, he immediately smiled: ”Li Lijun knows a lot of languages. She is almost famous in Southeast Asia. This is also the reason why I chose her for promotion at that time. I will call you when I have news.”
”OK, I won't bother you.”
Zheng Donghua obviously hesitated on the phone, but Zheng Jianguo pretended not to hear it, said two more words, told her the plan to return to Boston in the evening, and put down the phone.
Zheng Donghua should want to ask Yang Na about the latest situation, but she didn't ask after all.
When the idea flashed through Zheng Jianguo's mind, Joanna's voice came from the side: ”Camille, I need to tell you what to pay attention to at the party -”
”Doesn't Zheng need to learn?”
Camille's voice of dissatisfaction came, Zheng Jianguo smiled and heard Joanna say, ”gentlemen don't have to salute, but we need to pay attention, especially there must be a lady of the Earl and marquis.”
”Can we get the title?”
Camille asked curiously, but Zheng Jianguo pulled the corners of her mouth. Joanna had said, ”yes, as long as you can get the favor of the queen, you can give you a reward -”
”Forget it -”
Like most girls' expectations of the prince and princess story, Camille's interest in the royal family is just out of unknown curiosity. In particular, she still wants to attend the reception of the crown prince and Anna. The excitement in her heart also makes her learn some basic rituals with Joanna.
But I didn't expect that when they arrived at Kensington Palace after dinner in the evening, that is, they and Hepburn curtsey when they saw Anna. They wasted most of the afternoon learning etiquette, but it didn't come in much use.
Soon, with Anna in a black British traditional dress announcing the beginning of the dance, the opening song sounded in the gorgeous and elegant ballroom under the brilliant crystal lamp. Zheng Jianguo listened to Joanna nearby and said, ”Zheng, I hope you don't step on Anna's feet red.”
“？？？”
Turning his head to look at Joanna, Zheng Jianguo saw a smile on her face: ”the opening song is to arouse people's sense of dance, and also to let those who are ready to dance find their own partners. Look at Anna's eyes?”
Subconsciously, he turned his eyes to Anna who danced with the crown prince on the dance floor. Zheng Jianguo found that she was slightly lowering her head with a smile. It seemed that Joanna in her ear continued: ”it seems that she wants to pick you for the first dance. Remember not to refuse --”
”She wanted me to make a fool of myself.”
When Zheng Jianguo suddenly felt bad, he saw a young man wearing a dress next to Camille. After Joanna's introduction, he knew that this was Prince Edward, the prince's brother. He nodded when the other party looked at him. He didn't want Edward to look at Camille after responding: ”Joanna, can you invite you to the first dance?”
“——”
When Camille's white cheeks suddenly appeared stunned, Zheng Jianguo said, ”Your Highness, this is Camille, but I feel you can ask her to dance the first dance and then ask Joanna to dance the second dance in order to express your apology.”
“——”
Subconsciously, he looked at Camille and Joanna. Edward's face suddenly showed embarrassment. Immediately, he looked at Zheng Jianguo, who handed the ladder. After putting away the embarrassment, he smiled: ”Oh, I thought Camille was talking to you. You two are so similar. Zheng, how did you distinguish them?”
”You're not a good guy.”
Zheng Jianguo pulled the corners of his mouth, and the idea flashed through his mind, but ignored the other party's problems, but looked at Joanna: ”Joanna reminded me that if someone would invite me to dance, don't step on the feet of women --”
”Ha, well, you can't learn to dance without stepping on women's feet.”
As if he felt Zheng Jianguo's kindness, Edward naturally smiled a lot. However, at this time, the opening dance music was about to end. He looked at his brother and sister-in-law dancing on the dance floor, and the smile on their white cheeks was a little more brilliant: ”I hope you won't step too hard, Kamil. They will invite Zheng hehe to dance the second dance, So I want you to do the second dance -- ”
Looking at Zheng Jianguo silently, Camille was a little angry. He was making arrangements, but considering that it was his decision, he smiled: ”Oh, OK, but can you give me some photos taken by the photographer?”
For activities within the royal family, you naturally need to apply for photos. Zheng Jianguo didn't want to leave any photos, so he didn't think about this.
Camille's age was fun and vain. In addition, she was going to go back to school to show off. When she saw a photographer next to her, she made such a request. Edward laughed: ”of course.”
”Hua Hua --”
With the end of the music, a burst of not fierce applause broke out. The crown prince and Anna on the dance floor thanked the applause. Zheng Jianguo clapped his hands. However, when he stared at Anna, who was ruddy on the dance floor, there was a voice nearby: ”Dr. Zheng, can you please dance the third dance?”
Listening to the heavy back nasal sound, clear words and a special rhythm in this tone, Zheng Jianguo knew that the girl next to him should be a London resident. Immediately, according to old John's advice, from her white face makeup to her low neckline and off shoulder evening dress, she finally saw some dim buns put away and said with a smile: ”Oh, Of course - if you'd like to teach me how to dance. ”
The girl was obviously dressed up. She had long blond hair on her forehead, a light blue band, and an invisible gem in the middle. She was wearing a traditional evening dress similar to Anna's style. The difference was that her dress was dark green.
The girl's eyes were shining under the bright crystal lamp. When she saw Zheng Jianguo looking at herself, she leaned out her hand and hung it in front of him with a gentle voice: ”this is Eugenia's honor --”
When Zheng Jianguo looked at the girl's outstretched hand, what came to his mind was the teaching of old John: ”when a woman with identity actively outstretched her hand, she meant to be close. What you should do at this time is to gently hold her fingers and kiss the back of her hand without making her feel pain. Pay attention to gently touching the back of her hand with her lips, Don't leave saliva on it -- ”
After quickly recalling old John's teaching, Zheng Jianguo felt that he could have a try. When he reached out, Anna's voice came: ”Oh, Eugenia, Zheng shouldn't kiss. Just shake your hand.”
”Let's shake hands.”
Already holding Eugenia's finger, Zheng Jianguo thought about it and quickly changed his mind. Then he laughed at himself and said, ”I'm afraid if I leave saliva on the back of your hand, it's too abrupt and beautiful -”
