After Prince Charles finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and the whole hall immediately burst into warm applause, and when the applause gradually stopped, the banquet began.

At this time, Prince Charles and Princess Diana walked down from the stage, and the two walked straight to Gu Chen, only to see Prince Charles shrug his shoulders slightly, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry I didn't inform you of this decision of the British royal family in advance, I just wanted to give you a surprise, this is the seventh hereditary noble title established by the British royal family in the past 2o years, compared to a hundred years ago, this is a pitifully small ratio, it is worth mentioning that this is the first hereditary nobleman in the history of Hong Kong, I think it should be an honor. ”

In the face of Prince Charles's understated explanation, although Gu Chen was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, he could not and did not need to express his dissatisfaction: "This is indeed a big surprise for me, I am honored to be canonized by the British royal family." ”

As if Gu Chen's reaction had been expected, Prince Charles nodded and said, "The official canonization will be held on New Year's Day, before which Mr. Gu needs to design his family's coat of arms, and then present it to the British royal family, which will be approved by Her Majesty the Queen at the canonization ceremony." ”

"And then there's the Pardocia Islands, which are an archipelago in the British Indian Ocean Territory, the exact location of which Mr. Governor will tell you later." Speaking of this, Prince Charles suddenly showed an exaggerated expression and said to He Chaoqiong: "Oh, I'm really sorry, I actually forgot to say hello to this beautiful young lady, Mr. Gu doesn't mind introducing it to me." ”

When introducing He Chaoqiong to others, Gu Chen was very generous. The words are also quite natural: "This is my wife He Chaoqiong." ”

Perhaps considering the culture of Hong Kong people, Prince Charles did not use Western-style veneer salutes or kiss hand salutes commonly used by nobles, but just shook hands with Ho Chaoqiong decently. said: "It's nice to meet Mrs. Gu, your beauty and demeanor are really fascinating. ”

Tonight's He Chaoqiong is indeed very beautiful, a black low-cut sexy dress reflects her rich and mature temperament to the fullest, coupled with a shining diamond necklace around her neck, she is definitely one of the most concerned female guests tonight, she smiled faintly at Prince Charles's compliment, and said, "Your Highness complimented her." But I think inner beauty is more important than outer beauty, and just like Her Royal Highness, she can become the most popular princess in British history. In addition to appearance, I believe it is more because of the efforts made to the public welfare. ”

……

Prince Charles and Princess Diana chatted for a while and walked away, although the main purpose of their banquet was to announce the British royal family's canonization of Gu Chen, but the guests who came tonight were the top elites in Hong Kong. Naturally, they couldn't just focus on Gu Chen alone.

As soon as the two left. Ho Hongsen and Li Jiacheng walked over together, and Li Jiacheng spoke first: "Congratulations to Gu Sheng, not only was he awarded the title of hereditary nobleman, but also got a piece of territory, which is the first time in the modern history of the British royal family, which is really enviable." ”

"Daddy." He Chaoqiong called He Hongsen, and at the same time secretly touched Gu Chen's ribs lightly with his hand, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed on Gu Chen's face. It was called a depression in my heart, but everyone changed their words to Liu Huiyun's mother. It's a bit unreasonable for him not to change his words, and the two of them have also communicated on this issue before, so after struggling for a second, Gu Chen still spoke: "Daddy." ”

He Hongsen was obviously stunned, and then laughed heartily twice, and said: "Not to mention the title of hereditary noble, the key is to be given a territory, although most of the lord's power has now been deprived, but according to British law, the lord is still the owner and supreme administrator of his territory, and can obtain all the taxes of the territory, which is indeed a very good thing." ”

Gu Chen also smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's a good thing to get a piece of land for nothing, but the tax is exempt, I guess this Pardocia Islands is also a place where birds don't, I don't think Thatcher would be so generous to give me pounds for nothing." ”

Ho Hongsen and Li Jiacheng are both understandable people, the British royal family canonized Gu Chen as the Viscount of Pardocia, and canonized the Pardocia Islands as its territory, which is already a big investment, and it is almost impossible for Gu Chen to get substantial benefits from it.

Li Jiacheng smiled and said, "That's not bad, I don't know how many people at the banquet envy you, I guess you will be in the headlines of the newspaper again tomorrow." ”

At this time, Governor Wei Yixin walked over, holding a glass of red wine in one hand and a copy of the text in the other: "Didn't disturb a few people chatting." ”

"Of course not, but this time Mr. Governor is a bit uninteresting, and I won't reveal such a big thing beforehand." Although Gu Chen had a smile on his face when he spoke, the dissatisfaction in his words could still be heard, and it was not good for him to express his dissatisfaction with Prince Charles, after all, the other party represented the face of the entire United Kingdom, but he didn't have so much scruples about Wilsin.

Wei Yixin shrugged his shoulders lightly and said slightly apologetically: "I didn't know about this matter in advance, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should want to surprise you." And that's a good thing, isn't it? At least I'm very envious, knowing that it's an archipelago, and it's yours from now on. ”

As he spoke, Wei Yixin handed the text in his hand to Gu Chen: "This is the information of the Pardocia Islands, I think you should like it." ”

Gu Chen took the information and didn't rush to open it, the wine glass in his hand touched Wei Yixin's wine glass lightly, and said, "I also think I will like it." ”

After Wei Yixin left, Gu Chen walked to a place in the corner and sat down, opened the information and looked at it, the first two pages were full of pictures, some taken on the island, and some were taken from the air. To be honest, these photos are quite beautiful, the blue sky, white sandy beaches, verdant tropical trees and crystal clear waters form a beautiful picture like a paradise on earth, Gu Chen liked it at first glance.

From the aerial photographs, it can be seen that the entire archipelago is arranged in a ring, and the islands seem to be connected by shallows, which should be a coral reef type island, and a crescent-shaped lagoon is formed in the middle of the archipelago. As he suspected, the archipelago is part of the British Indian Ocean Territory, with a tropical climate in the northern part of the British Indian Ocean Territory and due south of the Maldives.

The archipelago consists of 7 outcropping islands and 15 reefs, is a medium-sized atoll archipelago, the largest of the 7 islands, Pardocia has an area of O.64 square kilometers, and is the only island in the archipelago with fresh water, the remaining six islands are the largest only O.O7 square kilometers, and the smallest is less than O.O3 square kilometers, so the whole archipelago is named after the dominant.

In addition, there were and are no permanent inhabitants of the archipelago, which means that it is an untouched archipelago.

This kind of situation was expected by Gu Chen, but such an uninhabited island is just right, and it saves Britain too much favor.

By the time he finished reading all the information, He Chaoqiong also came back with two plates containing things, and immediately asked with concern: "What do you think of it?" ”

Gu Chen handed over the information and said with a smile: "Seven uninhabited desert islands, you can see for yourself." ”

He Chaoqiong couldn't wait to open the information, and a few minutes later, she raised her head and said excitedly: "Small is a little small, but the scenery is so beautiful, the beach is white, the sea water is transparent, and it is in the tropics, similar to the Maldives, when you are officially canonized, we will build a holiday villa on it, and we can go there for a vacation in winter, what do you think of my Tiyì?" ”

He Chaoqiong's thoughts are the same as Gu Chen's, such an island can't be used for anything at all except for building a holiday villa by himself, of course, he can just ignore it, but this is too tyrannical: "Well, the idea is good, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

"No problem, I'll go to the design company tomorrow." He Chaoqiong agreed without hesitation, and the excited expression on her face showed that she was extremely interested in this matter. Immediately, she seemed to remember something, her excited expression gradually faded, she glanced at Gu Chen, and asked with some hesitation: "You told me last time that the manor in Deep Water Bay has begun to be cleared, when do you plan to move over?" ”

"My mother went to find someone to see the date, and said that August 5 was an auspicious day for housewarming, and there was still more than a week before now, so I could just prepare."

After more than half a year of construction, with hundreds of workers working together, Gu Chen's manor in Deep Water Bay was finally completed, and the workers' clearance work was also carried out in the final stage.

"Oh." He Chaoqiong answered, and then there was no squeak, looking preoccupied. Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "What do you think, my mother is going to the manor tomorrow, she hasn't been there since it was built, so you can go with it then." ”

Hearing this, He Chaoqiong's face suddenly became happy, how could she not understand the meaning of Gu Chen's words, she couldn't control other women who couldn't live in the Gu family's mansion, and she couldn't manage it, anyway, she had to live, this was a symbol of her status as the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Gu family.

She originally wanted to ask Wang Guxian and Zhou Huimin if they would go tomorrow, but in the end, she thought about it or not, the result was the same anyway, she couldn't object, and at the same time, Gu Chen couldn't change her mind because of her opposition, so it was better to just keep silent.

"I've only seen the design drawings, and I don't know if there's any difference after it's built, and I hope the difference isn't too big. By the way, did you dig that artificial lake you were talking about? (To be continued......)
