The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Night is coming.

Vivien Leigh, wearing a gorgeous evening dress, walked quickly through the campus tree-lined (harmony) road. Because her waist was too tight, she felt that she was about to die, as if all her internal organs had been strangled into her throat.

The hem of the skirt is lined with a few whale bones, which is the standard equipment for ladies attending formal occasions, which can look graceful and luxurious and highlight the slender waist. This dress was given to her by her mother last year, and Vivien Leigh has always kept it at home. She went home this morning to pick it up and put it on.

Dragging a wide skirt, Vivien Leigh walked all the way to the school gate, attracting the eyes of students from the same school.

"Ba ba!"

A car drove up, the windows slowly lowered.

"Mr. Zhou?" Vivien Leigh was overjoyed, she thought she would wait here for a long time.

Zhou Hexuan looked at Vivien Leigh, who was dressed up, and felt amazed and funny at the same time. He played the role of a gentleman very cooperatively, got out of the car and opened the rear door himself, bent down and saluted: "Please get in the car, beautiful lady."

"Thank you." Vivien Li draped Zhou Hexuan's arm, and stepped into the car very ladylike. She had practiced this movement many times in advance.

The car started slowly, and Vivien Leigh was excited and nervous. She sat beside Zhou Hexuan with her back straight. After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but turned around and asked, "Mr. Zhou, am I not rude with my outfit today?"

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "It's perfect, you must be the most beautiful one at today's dance."

Vivien Leigh's face was flushed, and she said shyly, "This is my first time participating in a noble ball, so I'm afraid that I might do something wrong."

"Don't be nervous, just keep a normal mind." Zhou Hexuan comforted.

The ball was held in a manor on the outskirts of London. When the two got out of the car, Vivien Leigh was so nervous that her feet went limp. She quietly clenched her fists, finally mustered up the courage to get out of the car, and walked in holding Zhou Hexuan's arm.

"Asian?"

"Probably Japanese."

"The Japanese are all short, there can't be a 6-foot-tall alien."

"How could Prince Albert invite an Asian?"

"I seem to have seen a picture of this person. Oh, by the way, his surname is Zhou and he is from China."

"That China that is rich in porcelain?"

"..."

As soon as Zhou Hexuan and Vivien Leigh arrived at the scene, they immediately attracted the attention of many guests. Vivien Leigh, a peerless beauty, was ignored, and people focused their attention on Zhou Hexuan. After all, it is normal for beauties to appear in aristocratic balls, but it is very rare for an Asian face to appear.

Faced with the pointing and pointing of the crowd, Vivien Li became even more nervous, tightly clasping Zhou Hexuan's arm, not daring to let go.

Toynbee stepped forward and said with a happy smile, "Zhou, you're finally here. I thought you'd miss your appointment." He looked at Vivien Leigh again, blinked and said, "Your dance partner is very beautiful, with a good eye."

Vivien Leigh didn't know Toynbee at all, and thought he was an old nobleman, she quickly smiled and said, "Thank you for your appreciation."

This ball is private in nature, and all the guests add up to only twenty or thirty people. Most of them are of noble status, but there are also famous scholars like Toynbee, and ordinary people can't mix in it at all.

Vivien Leigh secretly looked at everything around her. She found that she was wearing the most exaggerated clothes. Other ladies didn't seem to like wearing such "medieval dresses".

what a shame!

Vivien Leigh blushed with embarrassment, she felt that she had made a fool of herself, like a country bumpkin who had just entered the city.

Zhou Hexuan chatted casually with Toynbee, and not long after, the protagonist of the dance appeared. Prince Albert, holding Queen Elizabeth's arm, made his grand entrance with a smile on his face, but the princess smiled a bit reluctantly.

Everyone fell silent, and Prince Albert said: "I... welcome you all very much. You can come to... the dance I held for my wife..."

In the movie "The King's Speech", Albert has become the king of England, stutters in public speeches, and even needs encouragement from doctors and his wife.

In fact, the real situation is not like this. In 1926, Albert made a big scandal when he spoke at the Commonwealth Games. He immediately called Dr. Roger to treat his stuttering, and it took only two months for his stuttering to improve. Since then, Albert has been perfectly capable of giving speeches, except that he occasionally struggles to enunciate words, and sometimes certain words have to be repeated.

At this time, the nobles attending the ball, when they heard Albert's slightly stuttering speech, all behaved very naturally and gave warm applause.

Only Vivien Li was extremely surprised, as if there was a sign of a collapse of the three views—that was a prince, a handsome, mighty, wise, and noble prince, how could he stutter and speak incoherently?

oh god!

Vivien Leigh couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, is that really Prince Albert?"

"It shouldn't be a fake." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Vivien Leigh shut up immediately, with a faint smile on her face, hiding all the disappointment in her mind.

Holding a wine glass, Prince Albert greeted the guests with a smile on his face all the way, not as introverted and shy as the legend said. Maybe it's all because of acquaintances. He behaved more calmly and naturally, and there was nothing wrong with talking.

However, Princess Elizabeth was just like the legend. Although she followed Albert's side step by step, there was a trace of sorrow and disgust on her brows.

When the princess was not married, she liked the eldest prince Edward, who was later the Duke of Windsor. She looked down on the introverted, cowardly and stuttering second prince Albert. She had rejected Albert's marriage proposals many times, but in the end she couldn't survive the orders of her parents and was forced to marry.

Zhou Hexuan is not interested in this kind of royal family gossip. What he wants to ask most is: Prince and Princess, where is your daughter Elizabeth? Has she been practicing a magical skill called "Life-continuing Dafa" since she was a child?

Cough cough, this topic is very dangerous, stop and stop.

"Mr. Tang... Mr. Yinby, this is... is Mr. Zhou?" Albert walked over with his wife and asked knowingly.

Toynbee introduced: "Yes, Your Highness, this is Mr. Zhou Hexuan from China, and his dance partner, Miss Vivienne Hartley."

Albert immediately took the initiative to hold Zhou Hexuan's hand and said: "Mr. Zhou, I...I like your "Tai Tai Tai Titanic" very much, and I...my wife also likes it very much. I... hope to be able to share with you You hand in... hand in the exchange literature."

Well, this prince seems to have a really bad stutter, and he probably practiced his opening remarks in private beforehand.

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "It's an honor."

Albert said to Vivien Leigh again: "Haha, Miss Hartley, Feifei... very happy to meet... meet you."

Vivien Leigh seemed to be infected, and said quickly: "My... Your Royal Highness, I... I, I, I am also very honored to... be able to participate in your dance... dance party."

The prince's face instantly became ugly. He thought that Vivien Leigh was deliberately imitating and laughing at himself. As for Vivien Leigh, her mind was blank. She had never had close communication with such a big man, and she was so frightened that she didn't know how to speak.
