Zhenjiang Yinyue Hotel is the first hotel invested by Donghai Qin Shiyue Group in the five provinces of Jiangnan. However, nowadays, there are Yinyue Hotels in Heishan and Xin'an, Wanzhou and Nanping.
The top-floor presidential suite at the Silver Moon Hotel in Zhenjiang.
In the reception room, Lu Ming looked at Sister Windsor opposite him, his heart full of astonishment. He hadn't seen Sister Windsor for more than two years since the dispute in the imperial capital. He didn't expect that she would come suddenly and call to say that there was good news, but this matter was serious and she had to talk to him in person.
"My dear brother! You are much better than I thought!" Mrs. Windsor's face was full of relief. She was very satisfied with Lu Ming's current development.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Sister, you are getting younger and more beautiful now!"
Mrs. Windsor snorted and laughed so hard that her body shook: "You little mouth..." After laughing for a while, her face gradually became serious: "However, time is limited, let's talk about business first. Chris mentioned it to you before, I wonder if you still remember it? I found a marriage for you, and you can't disagree when you meet her. As for her identity..."
Mrs. Windsor paused, shook her head and said, "I might as well say it clearly. It's Her Royal Highness Princess Alice. You should have heard of her, right? From now on, I will address you as Master, because your brother-in-law and I have been labeled in the imperial capital. In the eyes of others, we are die-hard princess lovers."
Lu Ming smiled and thought of the little figure he had seen a few years ago. He met her by chance when he met Academician Wen.
When I came to Donghai, I was completely in the dark. She helped me a lot, and her maid and follower You Aoli also helped me get a loan.
Without those loans, I would have started a few years later, and then, naturally, one step slower would lead to another.
The first capital is the hardest to earn for a startup.
As for myself, I have the Lu family's savings, but that is just the first pot of gold.
If your goal is just to become a millionaire or billionaire, then it can be considered the first pot of gold.
Considering his current wealth, his first pot of gold would actually depend on the huge loans that Youoli got for him.
Only then can you go smoothly and make every step fast.
Speaking of which, the one who really helped me was the princess.
Over there, Lady Windsor was still immersed in her own thoughts and continued, "As for the wedding date, let's do it as soon as possible, in a few days. This is also what Her Royal Highness the Princess meant. It will also help you in the local election, right?"
Lu Ming was startled. "Ah? Sister, that young lady... No, that prince is very young, right?"
Mrs. Windsor said, "She can get married now. Her birthday is January 1st, so she will be ten years old this year."
Lu Ming smiled bitterly. The marriage system in the empire was similar to that in some developed countries in his previous life. With the consent of the guardian, one could get married at the age of 12. As for the royal family, it was an exception and they could get married at the age of 10.
Hmm, now that I think about it, something seems a little off. The last time I saw her, she was about eight or nine years old.
At that time, I had not yet turned 20, but this summer, I will be turning 23. How could she have just turned 10
Maybe he really was a monster, he was only six or seven years old at that time
Thinking about what she had done, Lu Ming shook his head. He couldn't use common sense to speculate at all. Wasn't he the same
Mrs. Windsor glanced at Lu Ming again, "I won't hide it from you. Her Highness Alice was named Alice because she has been the only descendant of Queen Alice for thousands of years. She is destined to be the queen, and her status is very important. My dear brother, I don't know if what I did is right. I hope you will not betray my trust and treat her well. However, maybe my worries are unnecessary. Since Her Highness agreed, it means that it is destiny!"
She no longer addressed him affectionately as "brother" or "brother", but her expression became solemn and serious.
Lu Ming was distracted for a moment and did not answer.
Lady Windsor thought for a moment and said, "There is something I want to tell you. Your Highness's bloodline is mysterious and unpredictable. He reaches adulthood at the age of ten. He only celebrates his birthday every two years, and only in even-numbered years. If you see that Your Highness is developing slowly in the future, don't be frightened. I want to explain it to you first, so as not to scare you in the future."
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, but then he felt relieved. It was the same for Bizhu and Liuli. After they turned 18 and became adults, they celebrated their birthdays every three years. Alice did the same thing.
Of course, their "adulthood" should not refer to physical age, but to a certain stage of inheritance, right
Lu Ming raised his head: "Sister, this is a serious matter. I need to think about it."
Mrs. Windsor looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, you should think about it carefully. I will wait for you for three days." She added, "This matter must be done quickly. If we really want to get married, we must get married this month. Otherwise, if the news is leaked, there will be too much resistance."
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, I understand!"
Mrs. Windsor suddenly looked at Lu Ming curiously: "Actually, it should have been Chris who told you about this, but she insisted on me coming. Brother, nothing happened between you and Chris, right?" At this point, she smiled ambiguously.
Lu Ming looked calm, "No."
He sighed softly in his heart. This matter must have made Christine feel very complicated.
Even when we talked about this matter at the beginning, it was still vague, but now, it has come so quickly.
Isn't my mood also mixed
…
In Qinchun Garden, the flower beds are full of colorful flowers and a few peacocks are strolling leisurely.
There are pavilions and towers on the side, and the blue lake is like a mirror.
Lu Ming paced slowly, looking at Liuli beside him. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "Is it the inheritance of the Alchemy Demon?"
Lu Ming nodded: "It seems that you think that this marriage should be rejected." Bizhu was the first to tell him. Not only did she not object, but she also insisted that he agree. However, she did not say much to him. Maybe it was because she knew that Liuli was a gossip who would tell him everything, so she was too lazy to waste words with him.
Liuli shook her head. "On the contrary, Master, although the alchemist demon has a deep blood feud with us, thousands of years have passed and it happened that Master came to the mortal world. The alchemist demon will also wake up at this time. I think this is God's will. All the grievances, family hatreds and national hatreds must be settled today!"
Lu Ming was stunned: "Are you talking about the Queen Alice from a thousand years ago? Oh, no, the alchemy demon from a thousand years ago? Will she wake up? Resurrect through a corpse? And now she is sleeping in this little Alice's body?"
Liuli nodded slightly: "I don't know much about the evil alchemy, but it's almost the same as what Master said! But I'm afraid it's different from the unity of the two sisters in Baozhu Palace. The evil magic is passed down. The little devil is the old devil, and the old devil is the little devil!"
Lu Ming smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose. What the hell was going on? Then he said with a smile, "Whatever. Old demon or little demon, let her have a taste of the power of airplanes and cannons. What era is this? After a few shots, even gods can turn her into cannon fodder!"
Liuli pursed her lips and smiled: "That's right, so I am the real son of destiny, and the rest of us are just outdated dregs!" After a pause, she continued: "The alchemist inheritance seems to be even more fragmented and has been affected even more. Therefore, even if the old demon wakes up, it can't resist the combination of me and Sister Baozhugong. I can save my planes and cannons." She smiled again: "Besides, my inheritance should be her nemesis."
Lu Ming gradually understood that, thousands of years ago, Westerners also had some talented people, the alchemists that Liuli mentioned.
However, the strength of Tianshanwei was not something they could shake, so the Western ethnic groups were enslaved by the Zhongzhou Dynasty at that time.
It was not until a desperate bloody battle broke out between the Tianshan Guards and the barbarian army that the Western Legion took the opportunity to break through the Zhongzhou imperial capital and overthrow the Zhongzhou dynasty.
Liuli smiled again: "And I think the ones who are most afraid of the old demon waking up are not us. Sister Baozhugong and I are looking forward to it. The one who is most afraid of her waking up should be someone else. From my memory, the inheritance left by my ancestors, the old demon was murdered, so he had such a big grudge and used some secret method. Under the will of heaven, he woke up a thousand years later. However, I have recently read some history books and listened to my grandfather's teachings. I am afraid that this part of my memory inheritance may also be unofficial history, which was fabricated by my ancestors to discredit the enemy."
Lu Ming was startled, then burst out laughing: "Liuli, you have improved. You can use dialectical thinking to look at the inherited knowledge?"
Liuli chuckled, "My master's realm is too high! I also want to improve myself."
Lu Ming laughed, paced a few steps, and pondered, "Okay, now I know what to do!"
