Australian Storm 1876

   Chapter 421

  Evening

The magnificent Kensington Palace was illuminated by brilliant lights as bright as day. The outside garden horse road was full of luxurious noble carriages. Gentlemen and ladies dressed up for the banquet gathered here. This will be another unforgettable night. .

The tall Li Fushou wore a fitted gown and walked with Nicole in a luxurious champagne dress. Shi Shiran entered this ancient royal palace. Even though he was used to the big scene, he was still fascinated by the grand imperial spirit. Shocked.

The palace-style crystal chandelier hanging from the high dome exudes a bright light, illuminating the spacious hall. The precious diamond necklace on Nicole’s white neck is carefully inlaid with 666 South African diamonds. It exudes a brilliant brilliance under the light, which is eye-catching.

   also has an angelic beauty, and soon became the focus of the dinner party.

  At the dinner

There have been many reserved English gentlemen and ladies here, and the men’s eyes are tightly attracted by the outstanding style of Nicole. Like a magnet, Nicole is inseparable from the rising sun. Other women are like Compared with eclipse, this caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the ladies, and they started to talk in private;

   "Look at that woman, she almost took the souls of gentlemen away."

   "Oh, I like her diamond necklace, it's so beautiful, if it's not fake... I bet it is worth at least £10,000."

  "How can fake necklaces be so dazzling? See the Eastern Earl next to him. He is a rich guy. I know he is a big rancher from Australia, a nouveau riche."

   "No wonder the money is so rich, the vulgar and greasy taste of money exudes from top to bottom."

   "God, isn't Australia a place where prisoners are exiled? That poor country is said to be at the end of the world. It has to pass through a sinister ocean of dragons to reach it. It is the Lord's deserted land."

   "There is no such exaggeration, but it is indeed a small remote place. I don't want to go all my life. Even if I live for one day, it will make people crazy."

  "Do you still dare to live for a day? I'm scared to think about it..."

  During the chattering, the ladies found a sense of superiority. They straightened their chests and looked at the pair of wall men entering the banquet. The men were rich and handsome, and the women were stunningly beautiful. The ladies showed disdain in their expressions, and their words became more harsh;

   "I know this Earl of Queensland. I heard that Lord Ayton of the Duke of Victor's family has joined the business of gas stoves. He should have made a lot of money."

"Oh, I know the gas stove. This is what I use in my manor kitchen, but the grilled Spanish veal steak is not as good as pine. You know I'm a demanding foodie and can't stand this, so I still let the cook use it. Traditional method."

  "Can you stop talking about these vulgar things?"

   "Look at that woman's proud look, I bet she will definitely become the prey of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. This country woman has little knowledge. As long as she hooks her little finger, she will obediently climb into His Royal Highness's bed."

   "Hehehe...yes, I think so too."

   "It's just a bad thing."

  Compared with the hostile ladies, the gentlemen's performance is much better. The familiar nobles take the initiative to greet them, starting from the unnutritious greetings.

E.g;

   "I am so glad to see you, Your Excellency the Earl of Queensland. It has been several years since the last meeting in London, but it was just like yesterday..."

   "Long time no see, your style remains the same, can you introduce this beautiful female companion by your side?"

"I really miss the time we spent together in the past, drinking afternoon tea in the sunny courtyard, and chatting about some relaxing topics. Welcome you and your wife to my castle and try the plum cake baked by my wife. ."

  In such a public place, it is basically impossible to exchange opinions in depth on some serious topics. Everyone wears masks to communicate. In fact, the arrogance and alienation in the bones of the British aristocracy can be smelled far away.

  Li Fushou dealt with all this skillfully. From the moment he participated in the election for the post of governor, he was a politician in the political arena.

As the time goes

Some heavyweights and French guests arrived one after another, and the hall became more lively. Gentlemen and ladies talked softly in groups, turning their eyes away from time to time to take a look at the eye-catching Queensland Earl Li Fushou and his beauty. Companion Nicole.

  This pair of wall men is so dazzling, it is impossible to ignore it.

Among a group of blonde white aristocrats, the appearance of a yellow-skinned oriental aristocrat is originally a small probability event, and this Queensland Earl is rich and rich, tall and energetic, with decent speech and demeanor, set off by the beautiful female companion. The two complemented each other, and even the French guests noticed it.

Viscount Edward Nelson introduced the French to both sides and said; "Your Excellency, the Honorable Deputy Prime Minister, please let me introduce you. Mr. Queensland from Australia and his wife Nicole, they have the largest in the world. The pastures and sheep have just defeated the Dutch in the East Indies War last year, and they have demonstrated amazing combat effectiveness."

  "It's a great honor to know you, Your Excellency Vice Premier." As the low-status party, Li Fushou took the lead in paying tribute.

"Regarding information about Queensland, I often see in the French government's political briefing that your ranch produces the best wool products in the world, and has also developed the steel and shipbuilding industries. What is particularly surprising is that it is actually in Shangri-La. Rich copper and gold deposits have been discovered on the island..."

  Speaking of which

A fiery light flashed in the eyes of Deputy Prime Minister Jean-José, and he paused and continued; "I have to admit that the young Mr. Earl has almost seized every opportunity in development and made his wealth snowball. This is impressive. What is even more enviable is... you have such an outstanding female companion by your side, and her angelic face will be jealous of God."

Li Fushou glanced at Nicole next to her. She was a little nervous because she participated in such a high-level event for the first time, and more excited, her white face floated up with her two hands holding Li Fushou's arm tightly. A red cloud appeared, making it even more shy and pleasant.

Li Fushou smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your reputation, Your Excellency Deputy Prime Minister. Nicole is the daughter of the Earl of Normandy. Their family lived in the United States after the French Revolution. Therefore, Nicole is an authentic French, and he is deeply impressed with that beautiful land. Deep nostalgia."

   "Oh...really?" Jean-José looked surprised.

"Yes, Mr. Deputy Prime Minister. I was born in a Normandy manor. I moved to the United States with my parents after I was 4 years old. I'm sorry, I don't have any impression of France anymore in my memory." Nicole answered quietly and quickly. .

Deputy Prime Minister Jean-José was a fat man of medium build. He did not conceal his surprise. He looked at Nicole as if he was admiring an ingenious work of art, and then repeatedly admired him; "I must say that your beauty is unparalleled. It is the Rose of France, exuding an amazing charm that is irresistible."

   "Thank you for your praise, you also look very... brilliant." Nicole thought about it for a moment, and then reluctantly gave a compliment.

"Hahaha..." Jean-José is a typical Frenchman and doesn't care about the evaluation of beautiful women. Although he is middle-aged, he has no lack of passion and romance in his character. He laughed and said jokingly; The past is sad, but only proud France can give birth to the beautiful angel of Zhong Tiandi. After seeing Nicole, I am convinced of this. The only regret is that it is too late to know you. , It's cheaper for this Australian rancher."

  The implication

  It is Li Fushou's dog chewing roses, which is really unpleasant.

  14 years ago

  It was the time when the Franco-Prussian War was defeated and the Second French Empire collapsed. Kaiser Wilhelm I was crowned at the Louvre in France.

  The nephew of the former emperor Napoleon of France, the second emperor of France, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, fled Paris and went into exile in London during the treason.

  At that time, the domestic situation in France was turbulent, and various forces killed each other and flowed in blood...

The humiliating defeat made it difficult for the proud French to accept. The anger spread like a volcanic eruption. The old nobles were systematically liquidated, and even those noble soldiers who shed blood for the country during the Franco-Prussian War, one by one from the manor and residence. Being dragged out and hanged, this is a memory of a nation's scars. Once touched, it will be heartbroken.

  Jean-José obviously did not want to talk about this, but flies around Nicole to show his hospitality, completely ignoring the existence of Li Fushou.

  It’s just an Australian rancher who really spoiled the beauty.

  "Your Excellency, Deputy Prime Minister, I am afraid I have to interrupt you, because I just saw the respectable Mr. Gulliver come in. I must take Nicole to extend my greetings. I am disaccompanyed."

  After leaving politely, Li Fushou quickly left with Nicole.

  He saw the fiery light of possession in the eyes of Deputy Prime Minister Jean-José, which made Li Fushou secretly angry, said hello and decisively left.

  Dogday, what is it?

  French people have always had a bad reputation in this regard, whether the Bourbon dynasty in the past or the restored Napoleon dynasty, have always been known for their corrupt and luxurious lives, especially the blatant presence of court mistresses, which further ruined the social atmosphere.

  There is something good on the top, but the bottom will be effective.

  This led to the prevalence of mistresses in the French aristocratic circle, who treated other women’s women as dishes in their own bowls, messing up.

  Li Fushou has no time to deal with the French, and he can't deal with the things that can't be achieved by eight poles. He loves it!

  At the night banquet

  The "Rose of France" praised by Deputy Prime Minister Jean-José quickly spread among the whispers of the upper aristocratic circle, spreading rapidly, and for a time made Nicole's fame.

  This is not a good thing. Erotic people are not unique to France.

  The first in line to the throne of the British Empire, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, is a kind of eclectic and improper radish who sees beautiful women who can’t walk. A big basket of mistresses who have been on the bed of His Royal Highness, this is the real big trouble.

  It is precisely because the Prince of Wales is indifferent, Her Majesty has forbidden him to be in charge of any affairs related to the government. Although the crown prince is 43 years old, he still lingers in the flowers every day, living a heartless and absurd life.
