"Your Highness..." Churchill (to distinguish between the two Georges, Churchill is directly used here) saluted and greeted little George.

"Hello Lord, I'm very happy that you can visit Hampton Palace." Little George's smile was as bright as spring breeze.

"This is my honor." Churchill replied with a smile, and took a gift from the side: "I came in a hurry and prepared well. This small gift was brought back from the Far East. I hope your highness likes it."

"Far East? Is it from the Ming Empire?" Little George's eyes lit up suddenly. He was extremely interested in the gifts Churchill brought, and immediately signaled Churchill to open it and take a look.

Churchill opened the gift and carefully took out the gift he brought. When the gift was presented to little George, his exquisiteness immediately made him exclaim.

"My God, this is a truly unparalleled work of art!"

"Your Highness, this thing is called a cauldron in the Ming Empire. It is a special item for the royal family of the Ming Empire. Its shape can be traced back to four thousand years ago. In addition, the skilled craftsman spent decades of careful production, only the royal family has the right to use it." Churchill specially blew his cloisonné cloisonné enamel Kuilong square cauldron that he brought. Anyway, this thing is indeed an extremely rare thing in the Western world, and this cauldron is indeed from Danei, but it was not actually made by the Ming Dynasty.

"This cauldron was given by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and is a priceless treasure. In Britain, only a person like His Highness deserves to be its master."

Churchill said this. In fact, although this thing was given to him by Zhu Yicheng as he said, it was because Zhu Yicheng didn't like cloisonné things very much. Although cloisonné craftsmanship began to appear as early as the Yuan Dynasty and gradually matured in the Ming Dynasty, the real cloisonné was still popular with the royal family in the Qing Dynasty.

As Manchus like blue and gold the most, their luxurious love for cloisonné is far beyond the brightest. However, blue is a bad color among the Han people, and the use of this color is often the preference of nomadic peoples. In the eyes of the Han people, it is unlucky to be a bad color.

This was mentioned in the previous article, so after Zhu Yicheng restored the Ming Dynasty, he removed all the things with foreign aura in the imperial palace in the capital, including these objects made during the Qing Dynasty.

Although Zhu Yicheng didn't like these, it cannot be denied that the utensils that could enter the Qing Dynasty palace were all good things, so Zhu Yicheng gave them out one by one as rewards to his ministers. As the first minister of the Ming Dynasty to establish diplomatic relations with the outside world, Churchill naturally obtained a lot of similar things in the Ming Dynasty for so many years. One of the items he brought with him today.

George Little is the Prince of Wales, the Crown Prince of England. His status among European countries is no longer low, and he is still the British Regent.

But compared to the Ming Dynasty, although Europe began to develop rapidly after experiencing the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, it actually still has a huge gap with the true civilized society, that is, the Far East.

Not to mention the British, even France, the center of Europe, highly praised the Eastern world, let alone George, who is in the UK?

In addition, although Zhu Yicheng doesn't like this thing, he cannot deny its exquisite shape. Moreover, Europeans have no ability to resist this utensil with obvious oriental colors and can be called artworks, even if George is the Prince of Wales is no exception.

He carefully touched the cauldron with both hands and listened to Churchill's introduction to its origin. The more he looked at it, the more he became happy.

"Thank you, Lord, I really like this gift you brought."

"This is my honor, Your Highness." Churchill responded gracefully with impeccable etiquette, but he was secretly amused in his heart. He said that if little George saw those treasures he brought back from the Ming Dynasty in his palace treasure room, he would probably have been so shocked that he would stare at the ground.

After a while, little George, who had put down the gift, sat down with Churchill. After sitting down, he saw that Churchill was not using tea, but using cognac. At this time, little George was even more happy.

Tea is popular in Europe, especially in the UK. Of course, this kind of tea is different from the Ming Dynasty tea. In France, the center of Europe, many nobles also like to drink tea, as if they become the best after drinking tea. Therefore, Eastern tea is extremely expensive in Europe and is not something that ordinary people can afford.

But compared to other nobles, George Little George didn't like tea very much. On weekdays, he preferred to drink some wine except to summon ministers and other nobles. So when he saw that Churchill was different from other nobles and did not drink tea but to drink wine, George Little George's sense of Churchill was even better.

"Lord has worked hard in the Far East over the years." Little George said with a smile after pouring himself a glass of wine.

After staying in the Ming Dynasty for so many years, Churchill had already mastered the ability to talk to others and talk to others, and his ability was the child of a high-ranking nobleman, so it was naturally easy to answer this kind of unnutritious question and answer.

I met with an ordinary person and said that the weather was really good today. Churchill started chatting and laughing with little George and chatting about his interesting stories in the Ming Dynasty, because he could see that little George was very interested and curious about his experience in the Ming Dynasty. And he specially invited him here today, probably because he wanted to know something about the East through himself.

Churchill spoke very artistically, and the current Ming Dynasty's attraction to Europeans was almost the same as that of the Chinese in the early days of reform and opening up in later generations.

As Churchill's story was told, little George listened with relish.

"When Lord returned to China, I wanted to have a good chat with you, but unfortunately his Majesty did not give you this opportunity. Later, the Lord did not stay in London and went to Woodstock. This cannot be said to be a great regret. In my opinion, people like Lord who have a deep understanding of the East are rare talents in Britain."

"Thank you for your praise. It is an extremely honor to be able to talk to you about these topics." Churchill replied with a little joy, but at this time he was thinking about the real purpose of George's words.

Although Churchill and George I, including George Jr., only once, you should know that when he went to the Ming Dynasty, the British leader was Her Majesty Anne.

When Queen Anne died, Churchills were in the Ming Dynasty and George I ascended the throne as the king of England. Naturally, Churchill could not fly from the Ming Dynasty to England to attend the throne ceremony.

Therefore, the first time Churchill met George I was when he resigned as Minister to the Ming Dynasty, and the day he was named Earl.

But that time, he and George I, including the little George who is sitting in front of him, did not have any long talk at all, and the answer was just a report of the king by his ministers.
