Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 54

It is not a simple matter for nobles to go abroad, especially to attend the queen's birthday party. Not only must the size of the territory be suitable, but also the team to travel, not only to protect safety, but also to reflect the noble style, to put it bluntly, it is ostentation.

Of course, the most important thing is to prepare a birthday present for the queen.

In the past, on the birthdays of the king and queen, even if they were not qualified to participate in the banquet, nobles from all over the country needed to prepare gifts for them. The Williams family was not very prominent in the empire. It's not intimate. Every year, the king and queen will not invite their family to their birthday parties, and the standard etiquette will not be used.

But this year is different. Felix himself has been appreciated by the king at the knight stage. Coupled with the recent period of brilliance, it is very natural for the king to think of inviting him.

However, the gifts that people don't give to people before and the gifts that are given to parties at the banquet are different.

If it was the king's birthday party, Felix knew how to choose gifts. When he served the king, he still knew this person's preferences very well, but Felix had little contact with the queen, so he didn't have a deep impression of her. I didn't want to think about preparing gifts for Wei Wei's unexpected woman, so I pushed this task to Wei Wei in an upright manner.

Wei Wei wanted to postpone because she also needed to arrange a lot of things. Among them, the problem of wintering the plants in the garden was very troublesome. They left in November and came back at the end of December. Two months are exactly one year. In the coldest time of the year, if Felix hadn't indicated that they were already a fiancée, she would have to be present in the face of the king's invitation, and Wei Wei would have preferred to stay and take care of her experimental field.

Moreover, if the gift is not chosen properly, it will affect the reputation of the Williams family. If it is too good, it will easily attract others' coveting. If it is sent on a business trip, it will be said to be disrespectful to the royal family. It is a troublesome errand no matter how you look at it.

However, Felix, because she is the (future) hostess of the castle, said that the task of giving gifts should be her responsibility.

"And you see that I have so many things to do, I can't find time at all. Besides, do you want to see me carefully selecting gifts for other women?"

Wei Wei was not happy.

Seeing that Felix was busy, Wei Wei had to agree.

She called Butler Patton and Mrs. Nancy and asked them what gifts the Williams family would prepare in the past.

The housekeeper and his wife are very familiar with this because they have experienced it before: "It's jewelry, some are specially made and some are handed down from the Williams family."

Most ordinary nobles give gifts like this, the difference is only in the preciousness of the jewelry.

Madam Nancy told Wei Wei, "Do you want Miss Wei Wei to visit the countess' jewelry store?"

Wei Wei shook her head. Recently, every move in Sardinson County has been watched by the outside world. If you still send jewelry as before, unless you send precious jewelry that can be regarded as family heirlooms, not only will you not be able to please the king and his wife, but I am afraid they will also be spoken of badly.

After all, everyone can see that their business makes money, and there are not a few who are jealous.

But if you want to give a very expensive gift, not only will she be missed, but she will also feel distressed.
