Chapter 699: You can't drink alcohol

According to the regulations, this wine was only enjoyed by the nobility.

When the queen raised her glass, John also followed everyone to the queen's side, and suddenly heard the queen's words, and saw the queen pour Li Ming such a precious glass of wine, John was directly carried away by jealousy.

Although many nobles at the scene thought that the queen was unruly, the queen was over ninety years old, and even if she was confused, it was a normal scene, and everyone could give the queen a face and treat this matter as if she didn't see it.

However, John heard the comments of the gentlemen below, and John thought that everyone wanted to blame the queen.

John suddenly walked in front of the queen, pointed at the queen and said sharply: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules, according to the regulations, Li Ming is not a nobleman, he is not qualified to drink this wine." ”

Li Ming had already taken the wine glass, and when he heard this, he sneered and put the wine glass next to him and looked at John.

Not to be outdone, John also glared at Li Ming.

The queen didn't know about the matter between John and Li Ming, and thought that John only represented the glory of the nobles, so she couldn't accept that a commoner could drink this wine.

The queen smiled and comforted John, looked at everyone, and found that everyone also had unhappy expressions.

The queen said, "It seems that everyone has a lot of opinions." ”

Of course, everyone has an opinion, Li Ming soaked their favorite beauty in their hands, so that they have no hope of getting involved with Jenny from now on, everyone has already hated Li Ming to death, but everyone can't say that.

Everyone said to the queen: "Yes, Your Majesty, this wine is only for the nobles, after all, this is the traditional brew of Louis XVIII, and only our royal family can enjoy it." ”

John was even more proud when he heard the support of the crowd, and said arrogantly to Li Ming: "Mr. Commoner, please leave here, and stay away from this glass of wine, you are not qualified to drink him." ”

Jenny saw that John was targeting Li Ming again, and immediately walked to Li Ming's side angrily and said to John: "John, you are enough, there is no end to it." ”

John said proudly, "Why, is it wrong for me to defend the glory of our nobles, Jenny, you are still not a member of our nobles." ”

Jenny was speechless, unable to say anything for a moment.

Seeing this, the queen showed a faint smile on her face, patted Jenny's arm to signal Jenny not to be in a hurry, and then said to everyone: "Oh, my children and my friends, I originally wanted to tell you about this later, but since everyone has such a big opinion now, I can only say it first." ”

Everyone was stunned and felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the queen suddenly said in a loud voice: "Just now, I have appointed Li Ming as our honorary Grand Duke of Scotland, and now, he is also a nobleman." ”

Hearing this, all the nobles at the scene were stunned, the Grand Duke of Scotland, the Grand Duke, this is the highest title except for the Prince.

So far, there are not many people who are dukes among the current British nobles, because of the system of reducing titles year by year, the heirs of the deceased archduke are all marquis or earls, and there are few people who directly inherit the title of duke.

For example, a person like John, whose ancestor was also a grand duke, but the title was reduced year by year, and in John's generation, John was only a viscount.

If Li Ming becomes the Grand Duke, wouldn't John have to salute Li Ming when he sees Li Ming in the future, how can John accept it.

Suddenly, John said angrily: "Your Majesty, I don't agree, why can Li Ming become a grand duke, what has he done for our British royal family, what qualifications does he have." ”

The following nobles also discussed, all of them were dissatisfied with the appointment of the queen, although Li Ming's title is false, in fact, he has no territorial jurisdiction, nor does he have any other rights, but this name alone already represents a lot of things, at least, this represents the recognition of Li Ming by the upper nobles of the United Kingdom.

Nowadays, at the bottom of the UK, because of the Crystal Palace football team, most of the people agree with Li Ming, and now, Li Ming has been recognized by the British royal family.

Originally, the British nobles were very angry when they saw Li Ming making so much money, and they thought about whether they wanted to find all the trouble for Li Ming from the top, so as to force Li Ming to transfer some of the benefits to them, but the queen's current words made them completely lose hope.

The nobles said excitedly: "Yes, Your Majesty, how can you be like this, we are not convinced." ”

"That's right, we're not convinced."

"If the Queen does not give us a reasonable explanation, we will definitely not agree to this request of yours."

"Yes, we don't agree."

Just when everyone was angry, Prince Charles suddenly stood up, and in the face of the angry nobles, Prince Charles said loudly: "I'll tell you the reason, please be quiet." ”

Hearing that Prince Charles had come out, everyone immediately quieted down and listened to Prince Charles.

Prince Charles said to everyone: "Just now, our Majesty the Queen suddenly became very unwell, and the doctor has even told me that Her Majesty has died, so let's prepare to make a coffin for the Queen." ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately forgot about Li Ming's matter, and everyone looked at the queen in disbelief.

A nobleman said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is not true, your body, there is really a problem?" ”

The queen looked at the way everyone related to herself, with a comforting expression on her face, and said: "That's right, I almost died just now, but just now, it was Mr. Li Ming who used his unique medicine to save one of my lives, so that I could live for at least another ten years, so, in order to thank Li Ming for his treatment of me, I named him the honorary Grand Duke, I hope you don't mind, this is my gratitude to a dying person for saving my life." ”

Having said that, everyone naturally had no other thoughts, and said, "Queen, we respect your opinion. ”

Hearing everyone's words, the queen smiled on her face, raised her glass again, and said happily: "To celebrate, we drank this wine." (To be continued.) )
