Chapter 335 You Were an Opponent a Second Ago, but You Turned Around and Became an Ally
Andrew looked at Sylvia with a frown, and felt that in her eyes, the noble ladies seemed as if no one wanted them, or they only wanted to climb up to the rich, and they were demoted by her and fell directly into the mud pit.
Seeing Andrew frowning, Sylvia immediately smiled and took his arm and said, "Dear Andrew, maybe you don't know yet.
We nobles are all nominally decent people who look glamorous, but in fact have long been unable to make ends meet.
I guarantee that not only the noble girls of England will be overjoyed if you and Charles announce their desire to marry.
Even the descendants of the other European royal families and nobles who still exist will definitely let their daughters participate in various receptions in England.
You and Charles will be busy by then, but your mother and grandmother will surely love to see that happen. "
When Andrew thought of the many aristocratic girls he had dated with, he shivered suddenly, "Those girls should be left to Charles, I'd better forget about it."
"Hahaha", Sylvia patted his arm with a giggle, "You shouldn't focus on 20-year-old girls.
Only those little girls around 16 years old are more suitable to be trained as princesses, understand, my dear Andrew? "
These words made Andrew thoughtful, but at the same time, it reminded Li Changheng of the commoner princess who married at the age of 19 in another world.
If you compare it with caring and being close to ordinary people, Diane is definitely a good princess worthy of the name.
But in other respects, there are some things to talk about.
Of course, her husband is definitely a scumbag, no one should refute this.
He didn't have the courage to resist the royal family before marriage, and he didn't take responsibility after marriage. This alone was enough to cover up all his good sides.
Talking, talking, the three of them walked into the banquet hall of the main building,
To Li Changheng's surprise, women are not counted, and there are only a dozen or so men.
Moreover, this has to count Bell, Jeffrey, Fred and Grosvenor.
"Haha, the future husbands of our Prince and Princess are finally here."
Following the voice, Li Changheng saw a white-haired old man with a hooked nose, pointed chin, thin face, and eyes full of pride and sternness.
No need to guess, the person who would tease Andrew and himself like this must be Lord Mountbatten.
Although Andrew is a prince, his real title is only duke, and this title does not belong to him at this time.
Faced with Mountbatten, who also has royal blood, was even born in Windsor Castle, and was a direct bloodline of the king two generations ago.
Andrew didn't dare to take it too seriously, and greeted and hugged him with a smile.
He also babbled a lot of compliments, and then introduced Li Changheng.
And Li Changheng had a good impression of this old man who had raised the plaster flag and separated the old bus from Ah San.
Of course, don't expect the English to like the Red Dynasty much. Mountbatten just has no chance.
After all, he and Uncle Qiu are true buddies, and Uncle Qiu saved him from several mistakes.
Uncle Qiu is notoriously anti-red.
However, since he had no chance, it meant that he was not at fault.
On the contrary, it is actually beneficial to the Celestial Dynasty to create an old bus, and it is extremely beneficial.
"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency." Li Changheng smiled and followed the etiquette of reaching out first for those with high status and respect.
Waiting for Mountbatten to extend his hand before shaking his hand.
Then he said unexpectedly, "Your Excellency, it turns out that your strategy in South Asia has been very successful."
"you sure?"
Mountbatten couldn't believe it, or he had to make sure that Li Changheng was mocking him.
Speaking of which, the old man in front of him has made countless mistakes in his life. Even when he was the captain of the navy, his ship was sunk by a German plane once, his ship was damaged by a torpedo once, and his ship was damaged by a German warship once.
However, he was responsible for the battle against the plaster flag in South Asia. Although he had no command ability, he did contribute to the three-nation joint battle against the plaster.
He is also the senior general in the allied army who is toughest on plasters and hates plasters the most.
Before he died, he left a message not to let the person who plastered him attend his funeral.
So Mountbatten, who has made countless mistakes and made achievements, but not many for England, heard Li Changheng mentioning South Asia, and the old man thought that he was the last governor of Ah San.
Li Changheng smiled and said something old in an extremely low voice.
Immediately, a big smile appeared on Mountbatten's face.
"I like you, Henry, and, thank you for remembering those things."
Li Changheng shrugged, "On the issue of plasters, I think we are definitely the most loyal companions."
Mountbatten smiled and whispered in Li Changheng's ear, "What I dislike the most in my life are those beasts."
Then the old man took the initiative to invite, "I heard that you also like to go fishing. Why don't you be the first to invite me to go fishing after you and Annie's super yacht is built?"
Li Changheng suddenly thought that Anne didn't like the old man very much, but he said, "No problem, we will bring Charles and Andrew with us and treat it as a family gathering."
"Yes, a family gathering."
After the small talk, it is time to introduce other people present.
What surprised Li Changheng again was that there was no nobleman who could call the shots.
Gosford's two brother-in-laws, and a Hollywood star Lee Jang-hyung has never heard of, who is also John Gosford's cousin who doesn't know how far away, and a small man wearing glasses who claims to be a producer, directly ignored.
The real one was the eldest son of the Duke of Devon, and the other was the eldest son of the Duke of Argyll.
However, although the two of them automatically obtained the title of Marquis because their father was a duke, just like Charles, they wanted to make the decision until their father passed on the throne.
At this time, it is a messenger.
Immediately, Li Changheng's face turned dark.
"Never mind, Henry."
Mountbatten patted him on the arm, then pulled him aside.
He explained in a low voice, "It's not that those old guys don't value you, and it's not that they don't want to exchange interests with you to make money.
Instead, I am worried that if I talk to you directly, there will be differences and the talk will collapse.
That's why I entrusted me, the most suitable person, with the two heirs of the most important dukes as representatives, to talk to you first.
Perelin is the heir to the Cavendish family and has an excellent relationship with the royal family.
Etter was the heir to the Campbells, who for centuries had represented the King in Scotland.
Even the original King of Scotland was later the King of England, which means that everyone is a true relative.
So the two of them were born to stand on His Majesty Philip's side, and their relationship with you is considered to be the closest except for Charles and Andrew.
In this way, even if there is a disagreement, even if it will delay time, it is better than making everyone unhappy, right? "
Li Changheng scolded a few words in his heart, but he had to admit that nobles who are free and full of intrigues are indeed born with a talent for diplomacy.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Wait," Mountbatten reminded with a smile, "You should first ask them what they can give you."
Li Changheng looked at Mountbatten differently.
What does that mean?
He betrayed the noble group by himself and used them in exchange for greater benefits?
