MTL - Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant-Chapter 497 tenth anniversary
Chapter 497 Tenth Anniversary
After the registration is over, continue to stroll around the campus.
After being recognized by others, they simply took a tour of the university campus as members of the royal family, and arranged introductions and video records along the way, allowing more people to get in touch with them. Especially the rumors about Fred's superior IQ have been confirmed by the school to be true.
An Feng's opinion is that it might be more appropriate to expose Fred appropriately. Although the royal family is not a star, it is inevitable for a prince to have characteristics and prestige if he wants to gain the support of the public. The mediocre and creative Crown Prince, the latter certainly doubles his charisma.
After the registration ends, the two children's completely different college life begins.
Although none of them choose boarding, Alice's life is more normal, there will be many friends of the same age, they will discuss each other's fun, and there will be occasional naughty behaviors in class. On the contrary, Fred seldom showed up, because others couldn't keep up with him, and he could finish a book in ten days, but he accepted his father's suggestion, and occasionally appeared in public classes to learn content other than his major .
Time passes slowly... late October.
The 25th is the tenth year of the queen's accession to the throne. They will have an event in the morning. People will spontaneously gather around the Moncalieri Palace to participate in the celebration, and souvenirs will also be sold around. Local residents who live affluent lives are very interested in such things.
Since last night, the palace has been busy preparing flowers around, and the inside of the palace has also been decorated to make it full of vitality. After breakfast, the female attendants sorted out the queen's makeup, and the other members prepared their own costumes and prepared to appear on the balcony.
There are not many commemorative activities for the Queen's accession to the throne. This time, the people's emotions are very warm. They will hold open-air celebrations around, singing and dancing, and drinking and talking. The number of celebrations currently registered has reached 200, around the palace, and the expenses are sponsored by the royal family.
The citizens came here spontaneously, and the expenses were paid out of their own pockets, but the royal family has money, so they don't care about the tens of millions. They specially added flowers and food, and distributed them to the organizations participating in the celebration according to the quantity and needs. In addition, the queen announced that the royal family will donate 30 million yuan that day to help poor families.
Strictly speaking, impoverished families belonging to the permanent residents of the Kingdom (including citizens) are extremely rare—once there is one, it will cause a kind of local tyrant to watch and express their condolences. The poverty here mostly refers to the staff who just got the visa, or paid to the social assistance center to help illegal immigrants.
The country severely cracks down on illegal immigration, but since we stand on this land, we must pay attention to human rights. The royal family is also an example. We do not welcome illegal immigration, but we are not cold-blooded—just follow the normal way. This move won the support of countless people.
In the morning, four members of the royal family appeared on the largest balcony of the Moncalieri Palace, surrounded by flowers and dense crowds. All eyes were on the balcony. Members of the royal family were also waving, and hundreds of thousands of people outside the square The people greeted and received enthusiastic responses.
Then the queen made a speech, recalling and summarizing, thanking the people who have continuously supported her. She likes this group of people and this land... As a ten-year review, everyone has gone through ups and downs together, from the initial bankruptcy to the let The royal family revitalizes the economy and performs miracles. People may forget what the government has done, but they will always remember this royal family elected by the people.
Everyone knows that the country's economy is entirely driven by the royal family, and it has contributed the most to it. Without them, Sardinia would probably still be just a mess with Italy, hovering in the bottom of the developed area. Although life is rich, it would not have the pride it is now, full of pride everywhere.
After the balcony speeches, the festivities began.
The Queen's family will come out and participate in some activities outside. Bodyguards are also on guard, and people who are too enthusiastic are sometimes a potential hidden danger. But the order was not bad, and Joanna even danced a cheerful local dance with an old gentleman.
At the end of the music, she stopped with a smile: "Very good, you continue to enjoy this joy!"
Her closeness to the people and true disposition won applause and cheers from the crowd around her. The video has also become a precious image in the future. It is quite rare to see the queen dancing happily. And she dances really beautifully, regardless of her temperament or image, she has conquered these people who love her.
After the event, the palace has to prepare for the cocktail party tonight.
The evening reception invites people from all walks of life. In addition to nobles and dignitaries, there are also many residents who are lucky to be selected, and they can also participate. This will be a fun event for all, regardless of status or wealth, and it is also a set of principles that Joanna pursues to be close to the people.
…
After having some snacks in the evening, you have to start preparing.
This aspect is more complicated for women. In the dressing room, two female servants helped Joanna make up professionally, drawing eyeliner, applying eye shadow, repairing her eyebrows, and adding some light blush. Alice behind her suggested: "Use pink lipstick, it is very Matches the current look."
"Ma'am?" The waitress brought out her entire box of custom-made lipsticks.
"Listen to my daughter," she said.
Alice looked at the radiant mother in the dressing mirror, and picked up the crown from the side box. It is different from the coronation crown. The throne crown is worn on the head like a hat, but now this one is for women, a bit like a hairpin , is inserted into the hair.
"Put on the beautiful crown, too." Alice gently inserted the crown into her hair, trying to see how firm it was. "Daddy's eyes will definitely shine."
Joanna laughed, and Alice continued: "I don't talk about other people, do you know why? Because, you only have him in your eyes."
"Don't talk nonsense, kid," Joanna said.
"Don't dare to admit it." Alice leaned up from behind with a smile, and put her hands on her shoulders, "As the saying goes, 'a woman is the one who pleases herself', I am afraid that thousands of compliments from others are not enough for my father' I like 'more beautiful. You care about his attitude in every way."
"Emotional expert, are you going to give me a lesson?" Joanna said jokingly.
"Although I don't have rich emotions, and I'm still a child who doesn't grow up in your eyes, I still understand a little bit. The expressions you two occasionally look at each other are written with love. The outside world said that no matter how you pretend, If you don’t have true feelings, you can’t do this step.”
"I know so much!" She laughed.
"I really envy you, mother." Alice put away her smile and said, "I also hope to find such a match-like person, but unfortunately people outside say that you are a real fairy tale, although the beginning is different, but the end is the same. Not many people will be able to replicate that."
Joanna grabbed her hand on her shoulder and looked at the person in the mirror: "It seems that my Alice has also reached the season of longing for love."
"What's the 'season'?" Alice laughed again, "You said it, the law of nature. I didn't intend to let myself be captured by the 'wild boy' so easily. I am looking forward to a gentleman who is better than my father , so that you will be impeccable, and I will no longer be naive."
"I just hope you don't get frustrated and hurt," she said.
"I know." Alice leaned down and kissed her cheek, "so I love you, Mother."
Joanna knew that the child would grow up day by day after all, she said with a smile: "It's my little princess' turn, and there will be many young heroes in the future."
"Okay." Alice took her seat, "Mom, I want to use your necklace."
"As long as you like it." Joanna took a few ribbons from the side attendant, "Honey, what color and style do you like?"
"It should be thinner, and the color matches my dress." Alice sat up straight, and the maid put the ruby necklace on her neck.
"This one, the light blue of the lake." Joanna took out one of them.
"Okay," said Alice, "and Mum, why do we all wear ribbons and medals?"
"European traditions, symbols of the family and the royal family." Joanna explained that when members reach the age of eighteen, they will receive medals, and Alice also has one.
"Then why isn't there a set style?" she asked.
"Because we didn't completely follow the tradition." Joanna said, "Actually, this light blue with bright yellow border is our family's exclusive ribbon."
"Oh." Alice stood up, and the attendant wanted to take the ribbon from the queen, but she said, "I'll do it, I haven't done it myself for a long time."
"My pleasure." Alice smiled.
"The family's wearing habit is from the right shoulder to the left crotch. Don't reverse it in the future, so we may repeat it with other royal families." Joanna put the ribbon on her, "Mary, please give me an animal brooch, The little squirrel's, gold. And the princess's medal."
Servant, Joanna helps her pin the golden brooch on the ribbon on her right shoulder, and then wears the medal on her left chest. The whole process is standard.
Joanna looked at her ladylike daughter and nodded, "Not bad!"
"Mom, let me help you too." Alice said.
It took some time to dress up inside, and it was nearly eight o'clock when he came out. An Feng, dressed in a suit and complete with ribbons and medals, was waiting outside. Alice asked them to take a group photo together, emphasizing: "We two ladies will sit down, and Dad will stand behind us."
"There are so many spooky ideas." An Feng stood behind them, leaving images in the corridor.
The cocktail party is held in the banquet hall, where dignitaries and ordinary people gather together, and the various dresses and jewelry for ladies are also eye-catching. The main gate opened, and the attendants stood on both sides, and another person reported: "Queen Joanna, Her Royal Highness Prince Alessio, and Her Royal Highness Princess Alice!"
The crowd at the scene was solemn, facing the direction in which members of the royal family came. The queen looked at the crowd on both sides with ease and smiled. Alice followed her parents and shook hands with some people. The princess's demeanor was in place. The young people at the scene also frequently paid attention to the salute.
An Feng compared his feelings with that of ten years ago. Now the scale is more grand, and the participants are more enthusiastic. Even foreign guests will salute the royal family members. In exchange for this respect, there is no doubt that strength and influence. If they hadn't taken this path back then, what would their future be like?
I'm afraid it will not be as exciting as it is now, and the legend will not continue.
