Chapter 907 Charles I's gift
What Sir Greenville took out was a wooden box with an iron hoop. It originally had a brass lock, but it had been opened in advance.It seems a little precious.

Gift prepared by Charles I.

Not only Chu Yun, but Li Jinde, Sarina, Ella, Yu Cheng and others also stared at the wooden box curiously, wanting to know what gift Charles I would give.

"This is a gift from His Majesty King Charles of Britain to the Lord of the East." Sir Greenville opened the wooden box.

I saw a ball of cotton cloth inside, covered with silk, with a half-moon-shaped crown on it, crystal clear, actually inlaid with diamonds, refracting a little bit of light under the light.

Charles I really spent a lot of money.When Chu Yun saw this exquisite crown, the price should be quite high.

"Our British royal family hired craftsmen to use hundreds of small diamonds to make it. No one has ever used it. Even His Majesty the King cherishes it very much and is not willing to give it to others." Sir Greenville pushed the wooden box in front of Chu Yun. .

Diamond crown, Chu Yun has not seen this kind of European royal style jewelry for a long time, a symbol of European royal power.And it is generally worn by queens and princesses of European royal families.It seems that Charles I planned not to please him directly, but indirectly to please the people around him.

Princess Sofia was amazed when she saw the crown.She had never seen such a beautiful crown, and her brother, who was always short of money, even sold off the dowry of the French princess he married, so he was willing to give a crown to Chu Yun.It really makes people wonder whether he is trying to gain benefits from the East, or for saving face.

"I accepted the gift that King Charlie gave me." Because it was not a gift from his own people, Chu Yun should not reject it for nothing, and maybe he can sell it for a huge sum if he is short of money in the future.

Seeing Chu Yun accepting the crown, Sir Greenville felt a little distressed while completing the task.The diamond crown is as crystal clear as a handicraft.Even in the British royal family, it can be used as a family heirloom.

"After I go back to Britain, I will ask my brother to give me such a beautiful crown." Princess Sophia couldn't help feeling a little envious.

Selina looked at the crown and was equally envious, but every girl in the West probably had such a fantasy that she could wear the crown and become a princess.As for whether you can really get happiness because of it in the future, that's another matter.

Chu Yun closed the wooden box, knowing that Charles I sent a large number of envoys this time because he was serious about cooperating with him.

"Princess Sophia and Sir Greenville, that's all for today's dinner. We will discuss the details of the cooperation in the next month." Chu Yun doesn't think that the time for a meal can be determined for the next two days. big event.

Whether it is to open up the European market or plunder the raw materials of the Mughals, detailed arrangements are required.

"It's an honor to have dinner with you. The oriental food is much more delicious than I imagined." Princess Sofia got up and said.

"Thank you for your hospitality." The father and daughter Sir Greenville and Selina got up at the same time.

On the contrary, Li Jinde was more nervous than Princess Sofia and her party.

Chu Yun planned to let him play an important role in the trade with Europe, so wouldn't Chu Yun become his immediate boss in the future?From an ordinary big businessman to an official businessman, the status will be different.

"You also stay in the capital. After we agree on tariffs and some other regulations with Britain, you can learn a little bit about the situation. A month or two will not delay your usual business, right?" Chu Yun asked Li Jinde .

"How could it be possible to do things for the military leader, but I am afraid that I will not do well enough, so how can we talk about delays." Li Jinde said.

"Then I will trouble you." Chu Yun said.

"My lord, you are too serious." Li Jinde replied respectfully.

Chu Yun personally sent them to the gate of the mansion, and then they returned to his residence together.

There are already street lights on the main roads in the capital, so their safety will not be a problem.

"Your Highness, what is your impression of the Eastern Master?" Sir Greenville asked.

"His talent and ability may be the most powerful person in the world, and he is almost omnipotent. Is there really any magical power in the far east?" Princess Sophia said bluntly.

Only Li Jinde is a member of the Kyushu Army, but he can't understand Princess Sophia's words.

"No matter what miraculous power there is in the East, there is no doubt about one thing. The masters of the East have a larger territory and population than the Mughal Empire, but they are different from the Mughal Empire. The Mughal Empire People are backward, ignorant, and power is scattered, and the mentality of the people here is very different from that of the Mughals. If we can get closer to them, it may be a great thing for our British Kingdom.” Sir Greenville said.

"Do you mean that my brother is likely to agree to their request?" Princess Sophia asked.

Sir Greenville did not answer, he was afraid that Charles I would really marry his sister to the East.In the eyes of the royal family, it must be very happy to be able to achieve a political alliance with the powerful Eastern Empire through marriage.

"Miss Sarina said that she will stay in the capital with the embassy for an extra month or two."

After Li Jinde came out, the British sailor who worked for him conveyed Sarina's intentions to him, and then he knew what Selina was going to say to him in Chu Yun's residence.

Are you leaving after a month or two?Li Jinde thought that Chu Yun would use him to engage in trade with Europe, so wouldn't there be a chance to meet Selina again in the future?But when we meet again, maybe she has become someone else's wife.

Li Jinde also felt some distress in his heart.

"Tomorrow, I will take you to the Academy of Sciences that you want to see the most. I have never been there before, but I heard that many officials, doctors, and workers have been trained there." Li Jinde said to Sarina while supporting her .

"Father is going to negotiate with your officials. I can't help you, but I can go with you," Sarina said.

"Daughter, your foot injury is still not healed, so don't go out easily. You need to heal your injury within a month or two. After I have settled with the Kyushu Army, we will return to Britain to report to His Majesty the King." Sir Greenville's expression was pale. Said solemnly.

He always felt that his daughter was about to be abducted. Life in China was only more stable and rich than in Britain, and Li Jinde himself was a big businessman, so the attraction here was much greater than he imagined.

"Father, I want to see what Huaxia Academy of Sciences looks like no matter what." Selina looked at Sir Greenville stubbornly.
