Chapter 346 What the British had, the French could not without.

After ruling out the influence of Queen Mary, Zhu Jingyuan continued to inquire directly about the situation in France.

As the crown prince, although Charles did not start to deal with government affairs, he knew about the situation in France under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Now I didn't hide much, I told everything I knew the truth, and finally concluded:

“…… All in all, there is a lack of money, and there are too many debts from the royal family and the court, and even the interest cannot be repaid.

"Fighting a war is too expensive, from the world war to the current Yinzhou War, it is all wrong.

"France accepted the invitation of the Ming Dynasty to cooperate from the very beginning, and it would not have been involved in a failed world war.

"In the Yinzhou War, if I had accepted the plan of the Ming Dynasty to help suppress it, I would not have continued to consume so many years.

"Best friend, if only we had known each other soon......"

Zhu Jingyuan nodded after listening, confirmed the general situation in France, and finally shook his head and said:

"It's useless for us to know each other earlier, you were a little kid at the beginning, and you couldn't decide anything.

"You didn't even get to know me, I wasn't born before the World War.

"It's useless to go back and think about what happened back now, think about the future.

"You Tessie shouldn't mind the crown prince getting involved in court politics, so you can't just think about your own affairs in the future.

"You have to be involved in the decisions of your French policy.

"Help your father make up your mind in key matters, and don't let those selfish nobles come around."

Xia Er nodded lightly with a heavy expression, and then looked at Zhu Jingyuan beside him:

"I knew I was supposed to do something, but I didn't know how I was supposed to do it.

"Can you help me? Will the Ming be able to help France through the difficult times ahead? ”

Zhu Jingyuan thought for a while and said:

"I will find a way to prepare a batch of low-interest or even interest-free loans for France.

"I will organize some companies to open factories in your France and recruit your unemployed workers.

"But things between nations are never gratuitous.

"Since you can't come up with money, you can only give conditions other than money.

"But if you say these things now, you probably won't be in the mood to have fun these days.

"So let's relax now and wait until the truce is over."

Charles nodded lightly again with a complicated expression.

The two continued to talk for a while, and it was time for the banquet to start in the front hall.

The servant came over to inform Zhu Jingyuan and Xia Er, and the two put on their shoes together and went to the front hall, and the banquet began immediately.

There are still musicians playing live today, but today the venue is bigger, more crowded, and quite noisy.

Therefore, instead of playing directly, radio equipment and amplification equipment were added, and the whole audience was broadcast with loudspeakers.

In the melodious music, Zhu Jingyuan took Charles to pick up the meal.

Charles already knew the format of today's banquet, but when he arrived at the scene, he still said in disbelief:

"Do you really want to fetch your own food?"

Zhu Jingyuan took a plate and handed it to Charles:

"Yes, you can eat whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about etiquette and waiting."

Charles has these incredible questions:

"Including us?"

Zhu Jingyuan confirmed while using tongs to pick up vegetables:

"Yes, including us, we all have to eat like this, so that more people can eat together."

Charles finally accepted the rule, picking up his plate and looking for something to eat.

Looking at a large slice of meat next to it, I flipped a few lamb chops with tongs, and it was obvious that I wanted to eat it very much, but in the end I only took two pieces.

Zhu Jingyuan glanced at him a few times with some confusion.

Xia Er noticed Zhu Jingyuan's eyes, and immediately subconsciously explained:

"As you said, if you don't exercise regularly and at high intensity, you should eat less meat, but you can't stop eating it completely, otherwise your body will collapse."

Only then did Zhu Jingyuan react, and he also taught him to diet and eat more vegetarian food.

also said that his current clothes must be thinner to look good.

This guy is thinking about staying in shape right now.

Zhu Jingyuan's mood suddenly changed again.

If these Tessie men, all their habits of life and aesthetic concepts, are inclined to women of later generations.

But at the same time, they have no corresponding understanding at all, and they all think that this is a male figure.

So what is this state of theirs?

Zhu Jingyuan didn't know what to say, so he simply shook his head and didn't think about it.

I used tongs to get myself several pieces, and quickly made a plate of meat.

Charles's eyes widened as he watched the stance.

Zhu Jingyuan said with a smile:

"I have to train for 30 minutes to an hour every day, and if I don't eat more meat, I will lose my strength, and I may even lose my muscles."

Charles looked at Zhu Jingyuan's plate of meat, and immediately became quite envious.

I subconsciously wanted to say that I would train for half an hour every day in the future, but I soon gave up this idea.

Charles knew he couldn't do it.

If you don't care about eating more meat, you will definitely become an ugly fat person, and it won't look good.

Zhu Jingyuan and Xia Er are the host and guest, and they are also the two people with the highest status on the scene.

The other ordinary guests didn't dare to rush to the two of them.

Except for three other members of the royal family.

Queen Charlotte of America forgot to ask for clothes for the last banquet and has been suffering for several days.

Today there is finally another banquet, and I can finally see Prince Dashi again.

It just so happens that today is a buffet, and everyone has to pick up their own food, and they can communicate with each other in the process.

So Charlotte came over with a plate, and Princess Amelia followed.

greeted Zhu Jingyuan and Charles, and immediately seized the time to explain his intentions.

Then he looked at Zhu Jingyuan with apprehension and expectation, waiting for the other party's answer.

After listening to this, Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said:

"The clothes have just been designed, and they haven't been officially put on sale yet.

"If it's someone else, of course it's not eligible to get it now.

"But little Charlotte is the queen of the United States, and of course she is entitled to a sneak peek.

"I'll ask Erin to take your body measurements and make a special set."

Amelia, an adult, thinks a lot.

Listening to the simple conversation between Zhu Jingyuan and Charlotte, his expression became extremely serious and excited.

Amelia knew that Prince Dashi's new Ming-style formal suit, the first set of every new style on the Tessie continent, had always been exclusive to the French Crown Prince Charles.

As a result, Charles became the fashion vane of the male aristocracy of Tessie.

This is something that a lot of nobles are super envious of.

This is also a matter of regret in the British aristocratic circle.

Now, the new women's clothing designed by Prince Da Shi himself, the first set of the first style in the entire Tessie society, will belong to his little niece Charlotte.

The British aristocracy has finally been able to win back a city in the fashion industry.

Charlotte herself, a child, has a simpler mind, and she is happy when she gets what she wants.

If it weren't for the aristocrats at the scene, if it weren't for the prince Zhu Jingyuan, the little girl would definitely cheer.

Now, Charlotte hugged the plate and bowed to Zhu Jingyuan very seriously to thank him:

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, you are really so gentle, Charlotte is so happy......"

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded slightly:

"You're welcome, go find what you like to eat, you don't have to care about so many aristocratic etiquette today."

The little girl agreed earnestly again, and went with her aunt to pack the food.

Prince Charles, who followed Zhu Jingyuan, watched the exchange between Zhu Jingyuan and Charlotte.

When Charlotte and Amelia had left, they asked in a rather sad tone:

"My dear friend, if you design new clothes in the future, won't you give me a taste first?"

Zhu Jingyuan felt that there was a smell of vinegar in his words, so he reluctantly turned around and asked rhetorically:

"This time I designed pure women's clothing, the same style that is worn by the aristocratic women of Tessie today.

"It's not like you, you think it's men's clothing, it's just the style of clothes that I personally think can be worn by women.

"If you really want to wear it, then I'll make you a set too."

Xia Er originally subconsciously wanted to say that the clothes he was wearing now, Zhu Jingyuan was also defined as women's clothing, but in fact it was not at all.

But hearing that it was the style of Tessie's women's clothes now, Chardon snorted:

"Since it's women's clothing, forget it...... Haha......"

After the three of them finished eating, they returned to their respective positions and began to talk while eating.

Charles drank wine, listened to music, and chatted with the crowd around him, occasionally talking to Zhu Jingyuan.

But the previous conversation repeatedly appeared in my mind, and a thought began to grow uncontrollably crazy.

Charles actually wants to know what the women's clothes designed by Zhu Jingyuan look like.

But as a man, he naturally curbed his curiosity about women's clothing at the time, but it was difficult to let go afterwards.

And it's not just curiosity, it's also about the honor of the royal family.

The new clothes designed by his best friend, the British women have them, but the French don't, which is unacceptable.

Xia Er drank a few glasses of wine in a row, accumulated enough courage for himself, leaned into Zhu Jingyuan's ear and whispered:

"Best friend, can you give me a set of the new women's clothes you mentioned?

"Of course, don't think about it, I don't want to wear it myself, I just use it for collection."

Zhu Jingyuan took a sip of cold wine and replied with two words very calmly:

"Okay, I know, I'll ask the craftsman to make you a set when I go back."

Charles was visibly stunned when he heard this.

Xia Er originally thought that Zhu Jingyuan would definitely make fun of himself, and he would definitely laugh and say that he must have wanted to wear it.

Xia Er prepared a lot of rhetoric in his heart, ready to use it to deal with Zhu Jingyuan's teasing.

As a result, the other party agreed cleanly, as if this kind of thing was taken for granted.

There was no awkward nonsense at all, which made Charles a little awkward, and couldn't help but take the initiative to explain:

"My dear friend, I want to keep a copy of the clothes you designed.

"The point is, what the British have, we French must have.

"So I'm not really going to wear it myself, I'm just collecting it."

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded:

"You don't have to explain anything, we're friends, we don't need to hide each other, we don't need to worry about it."

Charles is still a little uneasy:

"Do you really believe me?"

Zhu Jingyuan nodded seriously:

"Of course I do."

Charles finally put his mind at ease and said with great emotion:

"Your Royal Highness is indeed my dear friend, and you are completely different from those boring nobles.

"They always like to be vexatious, they always grasp other people's differences, exaggerated and presumptuous teasing.

"Use the embarrassment and insecurity of others to comfort their shallow and ignorant empty souls."

Zhu Jingyuan raised his glass to Charles:

"I hate that kind of person too."

Xia Er picked up the cup and touched it with Zhu Jingyuan, and drank it all very comfortably.

This time, the banquet was relatively short, and it ended at less than 10 o'clock in the evening.

Mainly because there were so many people attending the banquet, there was no entertainment arranged after the banquet.

After a full meal and a chat, the banquet will naturally end.
