Chapter 188 Brussels
Prince Mideo was quite polite, but Samuel and Zhang Wei had huge bouquets of flowers stuffed into their hands, so he didn't do any friendly etiquette with him.
Fortunately, the staff members led by Tracy were considerate and helped them take away the bouquets, saving their hands.
The prince was quite warm to Tracy and kept introducing the local customs and practices along the way, but Tracy was still very frugal with his words.
However, Hayat kept muttering to Zhang Wei behind her, saying that Mideo was too thin and that his voice was unpleasant. Zhang Wei could only signal her with her eyes to restrain herself, after all, there were his staff around her.
After getting off the plane, they drove directly to the hotel. Although the hotel didn't look very big, they were the only ones in the lobby. The waiters and security guards were standing at the door in full readiness, which made Zhang Wei feel as if she had become someone very important.
Then she looked at Prince Mideo, who was explaining to Tracy with a smile on his face, and immediately came to her senses.
Because the journey was short, Zhang Wei thought she would stay with Hayat when she arrived at the hotel. Unexpectedly, a very luxurious and spacious suite was arranged for the three of them. To be honest, it was too big and she felt a little lonely living there.
"Ding Dong!" The doorbell rang. When Zhang Wei saw Hayat dragging a box, she knew she was not the only one who thought so.
"I'm not used to living alone in a strange place. Let's live together, Vera!"
"My pleasure!"
Hayat moved to the guest bedroom in Zhang Wei's suite, which actually had some private space and someone to talk to.
Once the door was closed, Hayat spoke even more brazenly:
"Samuel should be a distant relative of Mideo. I really don't know what his family thinks. Tracy doesn't know him very well!"
"He's not that annoying, is he?" Zhang Wei felt that Samuel was quite a gentleman, and he tried to lower his presence even when they were having a good chat.
"It's just so-so. The prince seems to be quite good, not even as good as Samuel!"
"Hush—" Zhang Wei felt that after all, we were taking advantage of others and living on their land. "Tracy also said that we were meeting a friend. Let's just treat it as a free trip. Don't think too much about it for now. The parents haven't shown up yet!"
Hayate nodded, thinking about it, if it was really a confirmed matter, both parties would definitely send their elders over instead of asking Tracy to find a few friends to come together, so he began to think more open-mindedly.
But she still said something unconvinced: "Tracy is so good, beautiful, smart, and kind, just like a princess in a fairy tale. Who wouldn't like her?"
Zhang Wei agreed, "Yes, so you don't have to worry. Tracy is smart and knows how to handle it."
Anyway, Zhang Wei felt along the way that although Tracy was young, he was very calm and steady when facing Mideo.
After they talked for a while, room service told them that lunch was ready. Tracy asked them to go directly to the restaurant, and she went there with Mideo first.
It seems that Mideo appears to care about Tracy.
Their journey was so short, less than an hour, that Zhang Wei felt like she hadn't even left London, because she went directly to the hotel after getting off the plane. In fact, there wasn't much difference between classical European-style hotels.
However, when she tasted the different food, she had a profound understanding of leaving the UK.
The dishes were all ones she had never eaten before. Maybe it was because her taste buds had been damaged too much before, but she felt that the food here was really delicious.
The first main course is North Sea grey shrimp stewed with tomatoes. The shrimp meat is fresh and chewy, mixed with the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, which is very appetizing.
It was still early and Zhang Wei was not very hungry, but this dish aroused her appetite.
The next few dishes were specialties from various parts of Belgium, including asparagus from Flanders, which was crisp, tender, delicious and very refreshing; and pheasant from Braband, which was cooked in a clear stew, giving Zhang Wei the same feeling as when he drank local chicken soup in the past, and it was particularly fragrant.
Then there are the roasted lettuce, which are said to be very popular among the locals, the eel stewed with Chevreuse and beer, and the rabbit with plum sauce from the Ardennes. In short, almost all the vegetables are varieties that Zhang Wei has never seen before, and the cooking methods are also quite different.
It was obvious that everyone was very satisfied with the lunch, and Zhang Wei was also looking forward to the upcoming trip.
As he was thinking, Mideo told Tracy about the upcoming schedule:
"The reason I invite you here at this time is not just because it's a holiday, but also because tomorrow is the official opening day of the Brussels Flower Carpet Festival."
Having said that, the prince finally looked at his followers seriously, because even though Samuel was his distant relative, he had never taken his eyes away from Tracy.
He proudly said to Zhang Wei and the others, "You can enjoy the most beautiful square in Europe—Brussels Square at its most beautiful."
"Flower Carpet Festival?" Zhang Wei was thinking, will there be colorful carpets everywhere? It didn't seem very pleasant to think about, so there was no expectation or surprise on his face.
Only then did Samuel explain to them:
"The Flower Carpet Festival in Brussels is only held every two years, and I only remember visiting it once, so it's really rare,"
"And the entire square will be covered with hundreds of thousands of crabapple flowers, the national flower of Belgium, forming a giant flower carpet, which will be extremely beautiful and spectacular."
Zhang Wei suddenly realized that it was the Flower Festival! As for why it was called the Flower Carpet Festival, Zhang Wei also thought about it. Begonia plants are not very tall, so if you spread a large area of them, it will look like a carpet, so it is called the Flower Carpet Festival.
"The Flower Carpet Festival lasts four days, but I'll take you all there tomorrow, and we'll have other itineraries after that."
"Oh, by the way, if you want to take a walk around today, you can ask the hotel staff to accompany you, but..."
Mideo paused, looked at Tracy and continued:
"I'm always available if Tracy needs anything."
Tracy refused without mercy: "Thank you for your kindness, but I want to rest this afternoon."
Mideo was not at all displeased and left the hotel.
Zhang Wei then sat with Hayat in the hotel cafe with Tracy and chatted. They didn't have a chance to communicate with Tracy along the way.
"What do you think of him?" Hayat asked anxiously when he saw that the waiters around him had walked away.
Tracy was very direct: "Too much talk"
Zhang Wei smoothed things over: "On the other hand, he's quite enthusiastic."
Hayat continued to ask, "Does he look like what you like?"
