Daming 1805

Chapter 344 The Night Banquet
In order to reassure the relevant personnel as soon as possible, Zhu Jingyuan held a small banquet that night.

Only six outsiders were invited: Charlotte, Amelia, Frederick, Monroe, Jefferson, and Adams.

Plus Zhu Jingyuan's staff, Lin Zexu and Niu Jian, and the Ottoman princess Irene from Zhu Jingyuan's harem.

It is held in the garden where the playground is located, not in the form of a formal and serious banquet, but in the form of a dinner party for daily entertainment.

Zhu Jingyuan and Irene were sitting on the spacious couch, and there was a long table with food and drinks in front of the couch.

There were two large armchairs at both ends of the long table, for Lin Zexu and Niu Jian to sit on, and to eat and drink with Zhu Jingyuan at the same table.

Charlotte and other six outsiders were divided into two sides, each with an armchair and a smaller table.

Several musicians played soothing music opposite, and there was also a small table for eating and drinking in front of the musicians, and they played in turn.

The atmosphere of the whole scene is very comfortable, relaxed and comfortable.

While the host and guest are seated, the servants begin to serve the dishes.

"It's all started or exchanged with the tokens in this dish, and everyone can play with it.

Royals are inherently difficult to hijack.

The second son of the King of England, the Duke of York, and the regent of the United States, Frederick, felt rather aggrieved, but did not speak.

Charlotte and Amelia were simple-minded, but felt that they were finally officially liberated.

This option may increase the possibility of royals being hijacked, but it can also increase their personal safety.

The two girls, Charlotte and Amelia, immediately thought of the amusement city that Irene had mentioned.

Although I have seen Zhu Jingyuan's photos before, I still instinctively feel that Zhu Jingyuan will become like a bear.

While eating and drinking, while secretly observing Zhu Jingyuan, he was obviously a little surprised.

Charlotte was looking forward to this kind of thing, and followed Zhu Jingyuan into the side hall.

Amid the melodious sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, Zhu Jingyuan put down his chopsticks after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.

This has been said in the telegram before, and now it is said publicly in person, openly and actively pleading.

The widespread popularity of shochu is actually a very post-modern thing...

"However, during the turmoil in the United States, you have always been able to protect the safety of the three members of the Hanoverian royal family of the United Kingdom to which the League of Nations belongs. It is also considered a merit.

"Then I will keep my word, from now on, on behalf of Daming, I will guarantee your safety.

If one were to find a suitable adjective to describe their current feelings, it would probably be gentle and elegant.

They couldn't bear their curiosity one after another, so they picked up a few and took a look, and found five words written on them:

If it is killed, wait for it to be completely wiped out.

At the same time, I am grateful to Zhu Jingyuan for being willing to mediate and be a guarantor, and let Napoleon and Adams send me here first.

This may cause members of the royal families of various countries to become "rare goods" and become hijacking targets for rebels.

The space here is slightly smaller, but it is also a brightly lit environment, even brighter than the opposite side.

"You don't need to be cautious, just treat it as relatives and friends and go out to play together."

This choice is actually increasing the likelihood that the royals will be properly protected amidst the chaos.

She was still thinking about asking for clothes, and she had to find an opportunity to tell Zhu Jingyuan, so she immediately got up and followed:

The most relaxed of all was Adams himself.

"I don't care about the so-called aristocratic manners at all, and I am more casual than Napoleon's rebel.

After Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking, he took Irene to his feet, walked out from behind the long table, and walked directly to the side hall next door.

There are claws that are common in later generations to grab, and there are also those that are directly dug with a shovel similar to an excavator.

"Is this how he is with his family and friends?

So we can only do more tricks on simple machinery.

Inside the claw machine are the most common plush toys in later generations, as well as candies, models, lighters, and silver coins.

"As long as you like it, I'll take you to play the game console, it's all just made and hasn't been shown outside yet..."

But these facilities have surprised a little girl like Charlotte in this era.

"Napoleon, Adams, you two should have been completely wiped out like the two thieves Bossun.

With a smile most of the time, chatting and joking with Irene and the two staff members around me, they are all like ordinary family and friends.

Once it is really hijacked, the situation is almost in a state of force majeure.

Everyone eats and drinks first, because everyone knows that if you want to talk, you can't speak right away.

At that time, there were no mature TVs, and it was difficult to engage in complicated video games.

"Your Highness...His Royal Highness Prince Dashi...please wait a moment..."

As a result, at this moment, Zhu Jingyuan noticed that the little girl was looking at him, so he turned to face her and smiled.

They all knew Daming's coins, and they knew at a glance that they were not at all.

Everyone was waiting for this moment, waiting for Zhu Jingyuan to settle the matter first, and then everyone could really relax and have fun.

Monroe and Jefferson, the two ministers of the Kingdom of America, heard Zhu Jingyuan's decision, their expressions were a little stiff, and they sighed leisurely in their hearts.

The things in it are different, and the way to get them is also different.

It's not like sitting there waiting for someone to serve. When I drink by myself, I often pour it for Irene and the staff.

"Just eating and drinking will always be boring, so I prepared some game equipment in the side halls on both sides.

Originally, although she was grateful to Zhu Jingyuan for rescuing her, she also created a paradise like an amusement park.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your hospitality. Everything here is delicious, and the ice cream is especially delicious. I like it very much..."

Sure enough, Zhu Jingyuan stood up at this time, also holding a plate of amusement city tokens and said:

"Sure enough, the more noble the person, the more easy-going they are?"

Children always think about having fun, and are very curious about the game equipment invented by Zhu Jingyuan.

Without shochu, the wealthy class in Ming Dynasty generally did not drink distilled high-strength shochu.

Zhu Jingyuan casually looked at Adams from the side:

But on the other hand, only rare goods with comprehensive guarantees can be considered rare goods.

Things like "You are not qualified to discuss peace", "You'd better not do things that Ming Dynasty doesn't approve of", "Showing you new cannonballs is the sincerity of peace", etc., have all been interpreted and analyzed emphatically.

"I'll go first, you can do whatever you want."

The process of negotiating an armistice three years ago was heavily reported and analyzed around the world.

There are stir-fried dishes, barbecues, cold spells, snacks, fruits, cold drinks, wine, rice wine, and rice wine.

Charlotte realized that she had been spotted, and immediately lowered her head in panic.

Most of the other adults haven't reacted yet, and at the same time they are a little restrained, and haven't immediately adapted to this form.

"The coalition forces of Britain and France will not be allowed to continue to attack you."

After Napoleon and Adams completely independent.

Adams breathed a long sigh of relief, then stood up directly, and bowed slightly to Zhu Jingyuan:
"On behalf of His Excellency Napoleon and myself, I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Dashi for his care.

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said:
"This kind of matter has to be studied by the people of Honglu Temple, and the representatives of Britain and France have also come, and we will reply to you when we talk about it.

"But the two of us don't believe in Britain and France, and hope to take refuge with Daming and become a foreign vassal state of Ming."

Not only are lights installed on the ceiling, but also many light bulbs are installed on the walls, and they are also colorful neon lights.

"Don't talk about this now, it's useless to talk about it, now is the time for eating, drinking and having fun..."

Zhu Jingyuan's appearance was more in line with the newspapers and rumors, but his temperament was completely different from what he had imagined.

Otherwise, even if I can regain my freedom in the future, I will have to continue to suffer with Napoleon for several months.

"You are willing to trust me and send the three members of the royal family safely according to my request, and now I confirm receipt.

"That's why I mentioned that you have asked the British Hanover royal family and the French Bourbon royal family to promise that as long as you send the three royal family members here in full, you will be allowed to use the existing land to stand on your own.

The men looked a little confused.

"It should be the token of the amusement city..."

Zhu Jingyuan stopped when he heard the voice, and waited for the little queen to run over with her maid, and then asked in a chatty manner:

It was a variety of mechanical game machines such as claw machines, pinball machines, gashapon machines, etc.

Dashi Amusement City.

"Probably something like a chip."

So I can give you a chance.

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and waved his hands, indicating that the servants can serve the second wave of dishes.

How can a person who can say this kind of remarks not be overbearing?
Charlotte, a little girl, also subconsciously imagined Zhu Jingyuan as an image similar to Napoleon.

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded:

But when he came to see Zhu Jingyuan, he was instinctively filled with fear and apprehension.

As a result, after seeing the person directly, they realized that this was not the case at all.

Zhu Jingyuan and Irene deliberately demonstrated how to play each machine for several rounds.

Charlotte stared at Zhu Jingyuan for a long time:

Except for Monroe, the six Taixi people at the scene saw Zhu Jingyuan for the first time.

Charlotte immediately bowed slightly with both hands pinching the hem of the skirt, and nodded nervously after saluting:

Zhu Jingyuan's meaning is very clear, you have saved the three members of the British royal family, and this is your credit.

Surrounded by those brilliant lights, there are more than a dozen vertical cabinets in the side hall.

And after this round of dishes were served, there was an extra plate of coins on everyone's table.

What Zhu Jingyuan did during the meeting and the special words he said were all extremely domineering and even arrogant.

Charlotte, a little girl, is much less reserved.

"It's little Charlotte, are you still used to what you eat?"

The key is not Ming's coins.

They took it for granted that Zhu Jingyuan, the most famous prince of Ming Dynasty, should be extremely arrogant and domineering.

The operation is very simple, and a child like Charlotte can quickly learn it.

These machines are often used as gambling machines, and the internal logic can stimulate the human adrenal glands.

It will be difficult for adults in future generations to carry it, let alone teenage children.

Charlotte soon got carried away and had a great time.
