Chapter 425 French Rose
The importance of the Colonial Minister is at the forefront of the current Liberal Cabinet, so the arrival of Lord Gulliver, his wife and daughter, caused a slight agitation, and many familiar nobles took the initiative to greet him, while those who were a little further away stood aside with friendly eyes.
The aristocrats are proud, they hold their own identity, but they don't want to embrace it like a hillbilly who has never seen the world, that is really humiliating.
With Lord Gulliver's coffee position, it is not worth showing such eagerness.
After greeting his head all the way, Lord Gulliver almost immediately noticed the Earl of Queensland and his female companion approaching him, the young pair of wall figures were so dazzling that others could barely hide their light.
Although through many letters, they also accepted the Australian specialties brought by Professor Glenn Johnson, but the two sides never met, and Lord Gulliver recognized the Earl of the East almost immediately.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're the Lord Earl of Queensland who brought the Kingdom of Dutch a big disgrace."
"Your Excellency Lord Gulliver, I have admired your wisdom and generosity for a long time, and it is truly extraordinary and heartbreaking to meet you now, please allow me to extend my sincere greetings."
"Hahaha...... You should say this to my beautiful daughter Sharon, who will be very happy, and by the way, this is my lady Amanda, an elegant and intellectual Spanish nobleman. ”
"It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am."
Li Fushou stepped forward and kissed his hand, and at the same time introduced Nicole beside him, and the two sides greeted each other elegantly in accordance with British aristocratic etiquette.
Lord Gulliver was very concerned about Nicole's amazing beauty, she was so attractive to men, this little bird stood like an angel beside the Earl of the East, beautiful and childish mixed with mature French style, white dazzling, dazzling and dazzling.
His beautiful daughter Sharon is like a hen and a peacock compared to her.
Ahem...... Or the daughter is pretty.
"Mr. Earl, I can spare some time tomorrow afternoon, um...... Let's stop by Dawn Café in Whitehall for a chat, I love their authentic Italian espresso, which is very thought-provoking. ”
"As you wish, I'll be waiting for you at the Dawn Café."
"OK, that's a good deal."
"I'm fine, I'm looking forward to talking to you in depth on some topics of mutual interest, and hopefully learning something that will make my trip worthwhile."
"You're too modest, Mr. Earl, and I know Queensland isn't that simple."
"Huh...... Your Excellency is overrated. ”
While the two were greeting, there was a commotion and footsteps outside Kensington Palace, and the nobles who were talking stopped in unison and looked at the gate expectantly.
Sure enough
Surrounded by a large group of royal guards, close ministers, and nobles, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, tall and fat, walked in from the outside, with his face covered with the thick beard of the Anglo-Saxon tradition, and the gold medals and ribbons of his gown glittered, each of which was the crowning glory of the British Empire.
Dignity is innate, and refutation is not accepted.
This is the first in line to the throne of the British Empire, the son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, His Royal Highness the Honourable Prince Edward, the Prince of Wales and a series of noble titles such as the Earl of Chester, the Duke of Cornwall, the Duke of Rotsay, and the Earl of Dublin.
Seeing the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the originally reserved British nobles rushed up with a "hula", and soon gathered on both sides of the road in front of His Royal Highness the Prince to welcome him with eager eyes.
Noble gentlemen bent down with their hands on their chests, while ladies and ladies curtsy their skirts as a sign of humility to the heir to the throne.
It was a gala dinner to welcome the French Deputy Prime Minister Jean-José, in the form of a buffet, and a band of dozens of people played a magnificent waltz for this high-profile royal evening banquet.
Deputy Prime Minister Jean-José, accompanied by the French attaché and the British aristocracy, greeted His Royal Highness the Prince and prepared to extend his warmest and most sincere greetings and thank His Royal Highness for his hospitality.
Who knows at this time
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales looked to the other side in surprise, as if he was flashed by the dazzling angelic light, his expression appeared for a short time, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately stepped forward quickly, completely ignoring the oncoming Deputy Prime Minister Jean-José with a reserved smile on his face.
This made Deputy Prime Minister Jean-José, who had just stretched out his hand, stunned for a moment, and his embarrassed look immediately rose to his cheeks, which ...... Damn British!
"It's really unbelievable, there is such a beautiful woman in the world who turns all beings upside down, your beauty is a grace of God, I am the Prince of Wales, can I have the privilege of asking your honorable name?"
Sure enough, worthy of being a veteran of the flowers, Edward leaned down regardless of his noble identity and kissed his hand, he couldn't put it down and held Nicole's delicate slender jade hand, and the whole person seemed to be intoxicated.
"Back to Your Royal Highness, I am Nicole, daughter of the Count of Normandy, and I am honored to meet you."
Nicole reacted quickly, she was proud of her beautiful appearance at the same time, but she was a little overwhelmed, she twitched her little hand twice and didn't pull it back, and it was still tightly held in the fat palm of His Royal Highness the Prince, which made Nicole a little disgraced, and looked at Li Fushou with a begging eye for help in a panic.
Lord Gulliver was also looking at Li Fushou with the same eyes, and his mouth opened and closed silently; Mr. Earl, you're in big trouble.
Li Fushou really feels like a dog now, it's really amazing.
Wasn't I attending a grand royal feast and rushing into the midst of male dogs in heat?
He really felt a sense of being caught off guard, although he knew that Nicole was natural and had an angelic charm, but he didn't expect that the lethality would be so great, and it would probably cause him big trouble.
The reason why I took Nike on this trip to Europe was because Mrs. Gu Liuyan was pregnant again, and she couldn't go all the way to Europe with her, in case she had a fetal gas, it would be troublesome.
The second reason is that Nicole is an empathetic concubine, fluent in Latin, English, French and German, suitable for aristocratic communication, and can bring some help to the trip to Europe.
As for Fiona, she is also pregnant, and she is a little older than her wife, so naturally she can't go with her.
Most of the other concubines were from small families, did not understand English, did not understand the etiquette of European nobles, and when they came, they were blind and confused, so they simply did not bring them.
"Your Royal Highness, I am Li Fushou, Earl of Queensland, and my wife Nicole is very honored to be appreciated by you."
"Oh...... Mr. Earl of Queensland. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales let go of Nicole's jade hand in a little confusion, and Nicole hurriedly held Li Fushou's sturdy arm with both hands, looking like a frightened little white rabbit.
This small action made Edward look stunned, as if his cherished treasure had been taken away, and his heart tingled like a pinprick.
The beauty is like jade, but it's a pity that the famous flower has the master!
But I am the noble Prince of Wales, rich all over the world, and there is nothing that cannot be obtained as long as I want, and I can give power, favor and great wealth, and I do not believe that this beautiful man is not moved.
This moment
Edward's mind turned a thousand times, and he refocused on looking at the tall and handsome Oriental man in front of him, who seemed to be called the Earl of Queensland, and he had the impression that there seemed to be no such nobleman in London, could it be the nobles of other kingdoms?
The royal ministers around him saw the confusion on His Royal Highness's face, and knew that it was an unlearned and unskilled crown prince who was confused again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered; "The Earl of Queensland was a village nobleman of Her Majesty's fiefdom in distant Australia, somewhat similar to the princely princes of India, and was a means of appeasing influential men in the outlying colonies, who were said to be the world's largest ranchers."
"Oh, I'm so jealous of his good fortune to have a lady as beautiful as an angel, really...... If Your Majesty allows it, I am willing to exchange the title of Prince with him. ”
"Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense." The royal courtiers were so frightened that they almost reached out to cover Edward's mouth.
The so-called life is informal, and the hobbies are unique and inappropriate, which are all official words.
Well...... It's hard to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives a rotten and debaucherous life, lingering in the flowers all day long and can't extricate himself, and there is no one to talk about......
Not only Li Fushou, who was standing next to him, heard this, but also all the nobles nearby heard it, and their expressions were suddenly in an uproar, and their eyes were a little straight when they looked at Nicole again.
French Deputy Prime Minister Jean-José praised her as the "Rose of France", which is a very high praise and admiration in words.
And His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to exchange for a distinguished title, which simply shakes the UK.
This seductive woman has fascinated and driven the big people crazy, and her fame will quickly spread throughout the European aristocratic circle, setting off a wave of turmoil.
This royal night banquet formed a strange pattern, with Nicole as the dazzling center, Edward and a group of royal courtiers, and aristocratic stars around them saying words of praise, trying to distract the Earl of Queensland, Li Fushou.
Li Fushou is like a lion guarding the territory, tired of coping with the left and right, guarding Nicole's side and never leaving, and will not leave the greedy hyena a chance.
And French Deputy Prime Minister Jean-José accompanied a French guest and a British aristocrat on the periphery, looking at the inner circle lively but unable to plug in, the feeling of loss and humiliation in his heart was intertwined, and his face was blue and red for a while, not to mention how exciting.
The royal banquet was delayed for a long time, and it was not until Edward waved his hand impatiently and announced the start of the ball after repeated reminders from the royal courtiers.
The beautiful waltz was played again, and the ladies and gentlemen held hands one-on-one and gracefully entered the dance floor, and then danced in the air, performing the magnificent court dance steps.
The tall and fat Edward was of course among them, and he was closely lined up beside Li Fushou, his eyes constantly staring at Nicole, dancing with her soft body, full of fiery possessive light.
Everything at the moment
In Edward's eyes, all of them lost their color, and only a beautiful angel danced, and every gesture and foot was so captivating and intoxicating.
At this moment, Li Fushou had 10,000 grass and mud horses whistling in his heart, he never expected His Royal Highness the Prince to be this kind of virtue, he just mixed up with the London aristocratic circle a few years ago, it was only the peripheral level, and there was still a lot of distance from the top magnates.
Thinking that this circle is worse than I imagined, it is simply powerless to complain.
If possible
He wanted to punch Edward's fat face and make his nosebleed and let him know that Australians weren't easy to mess with.
