At this time, someone called Ingrid's name outside the door, and she replied: "Come down right away." Then she said to Han Qi, "I'll go down and get ready first."
"Yes," Han Qi nodded.
After Ingrid left, Han Qi looked at himself in the mirror.
The half-day of hard work in the morning was not in vain. Now after putting on this suit, Han Qi's learned and talented temperament has been fully revealed, and his charm is even better than before.
After acquiring professional skills, the instillation of that knowledge was passed on to Han Qi's mind from shallow to deep.
That is to say, Han Qi has the experience of learning this skill by himself, from the beginning, and then step by step to become an expert, or even a master-level profession. The erudite temperament in him is not that Han Qi pretends to understand, and has nothing in his mind.
No one can fake this feeling.
After clearing his throat, he said to himself in the mirror: "Come on."
Today is a very critical day for him. Ingrid is Han Qi's best partner in terms of identity, status, and appearance. Even these considerations are additional. The most important thing is that Han Qi likes her, and she
I also happen to like Han Qi.
Love like this is the best.
At five o'clock in the evening, the sky outside the window was a little overcast, with a slight drizzle falling. In the past, few cars could drive into the square where the palace is located, but today there was an endless stream of cars. It is estimated that various luxury car brands can
Saw it in the parking lot.
Some young royals even drove in in sports cars.
They didn't have sports cars in Norway, so they flew their car thousands of miles here just to attract attention at this banquet, hoping to be seen by Ingrid.
A woman who even Han Qi found stunning, let alone others.
This group of European royal families have been staring at Ingrid for who knows how many years, waiting for her to come of age. Basically, the royal family’s engagements are set at this age. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, the person who will be engaged will be married.
object.
Han Qi smiled and walked out of the room with his head held high.
Although the birthday party has not officially started yet, the banquet hall is already full of guests. His Majesty the King is also wearing a suit. He is talking to a woman who looks very familiar to Han Qi, but he can't remember whose woman he is talking to. She is probably from a nearby country.
important person.
The queen nodded towards Han Qi.
Ingrid is currently preparing in the room behind the banquet hall and will not appear until the banquet starts.
Although she has the body of a princess, the opportunity to wear a gorgeous princess dress and appear with a crown is very rare in her life. She must cherish every time. When she thinks of this, Han Qi can't wait to push away the photographers who are recording the video.
, I have to operate the machine myself.
Knowing too many things has its disadvantages. It makes Han Qi overconfident and a little conceited.
Other things are easy to say, but even if he gets into photography, he can only be considered a newcomer, and he can't compare with these professionals who have been playing with cameras all their lives... He probably won't dare to wait until Han Qi gets the photography profession or talent.
Put the thoughts in your mind into practice.
The king also saw Han Qi and called him to come to him and talk to the person opposite.
"This is Han Qi. He is a very powerful painter. Even Americans now admire him very much. He now lives in Norway all year round."
The woman nodded with a smile and said: "You are indeed handsome and very talented. I have also heard of your name. Young man, you are very good at winter swimming. Do you want to represent Finland in the Winter Games held in your country?"
?”
We in Finland?
Han Qi suddenly remembered that this man was one of the leaders of Finland, he seemed to be the number two, right?
Actually came here in person?
She stretched out her hand towards Han Qi, and Han Qi also took it.
Han Qi replied: "I am just a hobbyist in swimming, so let's forget about competing with professional swimmers. I'm afraid that I will be beaten to pieces by them, and it will be bad if I lose my interest in swimming."
"Haha, it's very interesting. It's nice to meet you Ingrid. I hope you will continue to come to Finland as a guest in the future. Our Finland is not just Lake of the Brave, but also has many interesting cities and customs. Of course, if you come again
It would be even better to write a travel diary."
"I will definitely consider it carefully."
The king continued to introduce a few people to Han Qi. Although he knew they were powerful people by their appearance, his true identities could not be discerned at all.
Just like that woman Sanna just now.
Wearing a backless blue dress and permed long golden curly hair, she looks like an aristocratic woman, but who would have thought that she was the leader of a country?
An old man who looks very ordinary is a British earl, with a military look on his face, and the handsome middle-aged man sitting upright is a Swedish prince... Han Qi thinks his face is very suitable for playing Superman.
The king asked Han Qi to find a place to rest and get to know some young people at the scene.
But Han Qi felt that he could not participate in the topics discussed by the group of young people, so he walked aside and drank red wine slowly by himself, savoring the aroma of the top-quality red wine.
Although the people who come here have different identities, one thing is very important.
That is, they all have social anxiety disorder.
How could they be autistic if they were either nobles or bigwigs from all walks of life? Coming to this kind of banquet is the time for them to communicate with each other, especially during the period when the protagonist has not yet appeared, which is their active period, otherwise they would not wait until Ingrid
Once you appear on stage, you won’t be able to talk as loudly with your friends as you do now.
So among such a group of people, Han Qi seemed a little lonely.
This temperament attracted a butterfly to him.
"Why do you drink alone?"
Butterfly sat down, waved to the waiter, and picked up a glass of red wine from his plate.
Han Qi shook his head: "I don't know."
We could have gotten to know each other. Han Qi was also very good at making friends, which he had learned from traveling again and again. However, after listening to it for a while, he decided to drink alone in the bar. He couldn't talk to their group of young men.
Come together.
Just like there are only young people in the circle of those young people, Han Qi, like other middle-aged and elderly people, has a generation gap with them.
"My name is Linda, what's yours?"
"Hello Linda, do you have a problem with me?"
"No, I just want to chat. What's your name? I think you look familiar. But when I think about it carefully, I don't know any Asians. So, look, didn't I just come to find you? Tell me.
Me, your name."
"Han Qi, Chinese."
"Wow! Han Qi? Are the paintings in the Bergen Gallery your works?"
After all, those who come here are a group of wealthy people. Their favorite things are luxury goods and art. Han Qi's paintings cover both, so Han Qi is a name that is often mentioned in the aristocratic circle.
Otherwise, the princess would not have been able to agree to the relationship between Han Qi and her daughter so quickly.
"They are my works. One is called Daytime and the other is called Four Seasons. Which one are you talking about?"
Han Qi nodded. Since this woman knew her paintings and remembered her name, she seemed to be someone she could chat with.
"During the day, my God, you know us Norwegians so well. I think about it carefully. The strangers I meet in life are really just like the ones in your paintings. They are as indifferent as the others...I can't say that they are indifferent.
, anyway, it’s an indescribable feeling.”
"The sense of distance." Han Qi said.
Norwegians are not indifferent, but they are naturally wary of outsiders.
If you don't contact him, he will be wary of you.
But as long as you take a step forward and walk toward him, whether you are asking for directions or doing something else, you will find that most of them will hesitate in answering, or turn red in the face and run away from you.
Can this be called indifference?
It can only be said that I have a bit of social fear, which has been misunderstood by others as indifference.
"Yes, you summed it up really well. I'm your fan."
"That's my luck."
No matter what this woman wants to do, at least Han Qi has a friend with whom she can chat to pass the time.
Linda is not a noble, just a celebrity in Norway. She is a frequent guest at various banquets, or to be more precise, she is a beautiful social butterfly.
Courtesans are not a derogatory term in Europe. Their existence is very important and they are the lubricant at various banquets.
A grand banquet may not include royal nobles, young people, or even politicians and businessmen talking about the situation and business, but there will definitely be such socialites in it. They have learned a lot but are not perfect, but they are just able to
Chat with people from any industry.
For example, right now, she is asking Han Qi for advice on classical oil painting techniques.
The lights changed and it was almost time for Ingrid to appear.
The two stopped chatting. Han Qi looked around and whispered to Linda: "Sorry, I'll leave first."
"Okay, I look forward to meeting you next time."
For Han Qi, Linda is just a chat friend, but he still doesn't want Ingrid to see him sitting with another woman. He knows that Ingrid is easily jealous and is a jealous person. He can explain it slowly at other times. Today
Forget it.
Today Han Qi wanted to make Ingrid happy, so that she would be happy from when she woke up in the morning to when she went to bed at night.
His Majesty the King takes to the stage.
The stage was just set up today. Originally, this banquet hall was a very ordinary hall, with a long table in the middle of a rectangle. Everything I see now was put out by the nannies. I don’t say it’s pretty, but at least it’s functional.
of.
"My granddaughter Ingrid turns eighteen today, and I am very happy. I still remember the winter when she was born. It snowed for the first time that year when she was born, and the snowflakes were beautiful.
, I knew at that time that Ingrid would be as beautiful as the snowflakes in the sky when she grows up."
The audience started applauding.
If it is true, then the king really has foresight, and Ingrid is indeed as exquisite as an angel now.
This is the beauty of nature that man-made things can never achieve.
"An hour ago, I personally put the crown on her. She is kind and kind. I am proud that our country has such an heir..."
Han Qi didn't listen carefully to what he had lost. His eyes sometimes looked at the King's Speech, sometimes at the door behind him. Han Qi knew that Ingrid was inside this door now, so he might have figured it out a long time ago.
.
Dong Dong.
The two big lights at the edge of the banquet hall were turned off, and the indoor light turned from white porridge to dusk, but the surroundings could still be seen clearly.
At the same time, a row of lights above the door was turned on one after another.
The door opened, and Ingrid looked at the people outside with a smile. She held up her skirt and slowly stepped forward. On her wrist was a bracelet that Han Qi had given her before, which complemented her white hands. Followed by two young people
The nanny took care of her, and the white princess dress shone brightly under the light. The sapphire crown on her head absorbed the light and was now a deep blue.
Confident and charming.
Height, appearance and manners, there is nothing to be picky about.
The applause became louder and louder.
They are witnesses.
If it were a normal princess coming-of-age ceremony, it would never be possible for so many nobles to come, let alone important political figures from other countries.
Ingrid's coming of age also means that she has officially taken over her job as crown prince.
In the future, political events can be handled alone.
Finland's leader Sanna came to Norway because of this incident, but she didn't expect that she would hear something more important after arriving here.
Sanna looked at the young man not far away.
Today's young people are really amazing. It seems that we must continue to strengthen cooperation with China in the future.
After Ingrid walked onto the stage, she saluted everyone.
Very elegant. Her month of assault training was not in vain. In addition to being taught some political ideas, she also had such etiquette. While wearing such a set of clothes, she made
This kind of action looks really beautiful.
When you get older, you can ignore these etiquette.
"Thank you everyone." She said loudly.
The king continued his speech, talking about some things about Ingrid. Ingrid was the closest to the king, but she didn't hear what her grandfather said at all. She kept looking down the stage, trying to find where Han Qi was.
.
The lights on the stage were on and the lights off the stage were dark, making it difficult for Ingrid to find her.
Han Qi didn't make any move. He saw Ingrid's smart little eyes and knew what she was thinking. He also wanted to know if Ingrid could notice him at this time, so he stood on the side with his chest in his arms.
Beside the table.
In the end he was discovered by Ingrid.
The two people's eyes intertwined in the air, and the tenderness and sweetness were visible to the naked eye.
The two people around Han Qi, who didn't know whether they were princes or not, were almost so drunk that they lay down and their bodies were feeling numb.
Princess Ingrid is so beautiful. Is she looking at me? Should I invite her to dance later? Should I confess my feelings during the dance? Will she come to our country or will I live in Norway? The child’s name is
What name is better?
Han Qi suddenly heard the king say his name.
"Also, I want to introduce you to a person. He is Mr. Han Qi from China. He has studied oil painting for many years. His first work shocked the world when it appeared. His works are currently on display at the Bergendale Gallery.
Among them, I believe you have seen most of them."
Han Qi looked over, and the king nodded to Han Qi.
Although they had not communicated beforehand, Han Qi understood this look, smiled and nodded at the people around him, and walked onto the stage.
He also felt a little strange.
What did the king ask me to do at this time? It’s not time to choose a dance partner yet, right?
