Chapter 232 (2/2)
Arriving at Buckingham Palace by coach, once out of reach, is now as common as going home.
Queen Mary is wearing a formal dress today. Her red and green skirt is wide and heavy, with a solemn atmosphere.
In his green cloak, George V was trailing on the ground, holding a sacred sword. Li Zitao knelt on one knee with the blade of the sword resting on his left shoulder.
”In recognition of Charles Lee's outstanding contribution to the great y Empire, the Marquis was conferred on him in the name of the Windsor royal family, the king of Great Britain and the emperor of India -”
the ceremony was simple and somewhat unexpected.
In addition to the State Church of Y, the Archbishop of the Anglican Church, all members of the royal family attended as witnesses, and only one Royal photographer was responsible for taking photos.
In the applause, Li Zitao got up, and George V simply encouraged him and left.
His royal highness is in a bad mood. The establishment of the British Commonwealth represents the decline of the great y Empire, and the rule of the colony will come to an end.
This happened during his reign as king. How can you be happy!
”Marquis Charles, congratulations.” Queen Mary stayed with the royal family, and they moved to the royal banquet hall.
”Thank you, your highness.” Li Zitao smiles and bows, his right hand opens and presses on his left chest.As a member of the nobility, he will greet each other with aristocratic ceremony when he sees a member of the royal family or a duke in the future.
”Because it's not a formal time to confer medals. I can only simply seal you. I hope you don't mind.” Queen Mary apologized.
Each year, the royal family has two fixed honor days, one designated by the royal family, and the other is the birthday of the honorary.
It is no wonder that it is so easy for him to jump into the queue because it is neither a birthday nor a designated medal day.
”No, I'm a troublesome person.” Li said with a smile.
”Everyone hates trouble, ha ha --” while they were communicating, Adelaide, on the side, also completed her mission.
She gave a donation of $2 million to the Royal housekeeper, which was Li Zitao's ”contribution” to the royal family
Of course, in the Royal record, its contribution was to promote Luxembourg's support for the establishment of the Commonwealth and to give up its neutrality.
But the title is still a little awkward.
According to the aristocracy act of the great y state, those who grant high nobles must be citizens of Y nationality, but Li Zitao is a Chinese with an American ID.
Come and go, it has nothing to do with the big Y empire.
Although the son-in-law can be half a child, but foreigners do not have this view, and Li Zitao has no such consciousness.
This is also the reason why the royal family deliberately simplified the awarding ceremony. If it is widely publicized, it is easy to cause public discussion and dissatisfaction. It is better to keep a low profile.
After finishing the identity, Adelaide takes out the invitation to the engagement ceremony and makes an invitation to the prince and the princess.
As for the king and queen, he will personally send a letter to invite the young couple who are about to get engaged.
”Congratulations, Charlie, but be careful. Our European pearl has many pursuers, and those nobles may fight with you!”
Prince Edward is very talkative, the tone of banter to eliminate the first meeting unfamiliar.
If he remembers correctly, this one is a man who loves beauty and doesn't love mountains and rivers.
For the sake of his mistress, he finally abdicated the king to his younger brother, and took the successful marquis to the world.
”And - dog blood!”
Looking at the Duchess of York who was smiling and talking with her fiancee not far from her eyes, Li Zitao's heart lit up a raging fire of gossip.
