"Okay, you two little guys, don't take it as funny in front of my old man!"

Seeing that Melissa and Long Hao tended to transmit electricity through the dining table, Victoria hurriedly interrupted, then sighed softly, and said helplessly: "This king is not keeping secrets anymore, for Melissa's happiness, In order to make the two of you right, on the day I confer the title of Royal Princess on Melissa, Long Hao...you will also become the Earl of Beihai, the Earl of my British royal family!"

The faint words were like a bolt from the blue, and the whole restaurant seemed to be silent all of a sudden. Long Hao forgot to continue playing with Melissa, but turned his head and looked at the chapter of Victoria's novel with disbelief.

To be honest, Long Hao was really surprised!

Earl of Beihai... Are you sure you heard correctly?

"Beihai... Earl?"

Long Hao blinked, with an expression of eating eleven big buns in one mouthful: "Your Majesty, are you... want to award me an honor?"

"Award?" The Queen laughed, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth, "It's not bad, but you, the Earl of Beihai, were conferred by me personally, and you are a hereditary earl!

The honors in the UK are carried out once a year. The list is presented by the Prime Minister to the Queen. After the Queen approves, the honors will be officially awarded on the Buckingham Palace Square. At that time, a large number of royal nobles will be watching the ceremony. The recipients will be extremely honored!

It is common sense that the honorees are all those who have made outstanding contributions to the British Empire or the British royal family. It is not easy to obtain this qualification, but even so, 99 and a half out of [-] honorees are honorary knights!

Jazz is divided into Duke, Hou, Bo, Zi, and male, and it is divided into two types: honorary jazz and hereditary jazz.Simply put, honorary knighthood means that your title and rights belong to you alone, once you die.The title will be taken back by the British royal family.Hereditary jazz is different. As the name suggests, this title can be passed on to future generations. As long as you don't die, this title will not be taken back!

It goes without saying that hereditary titles are much more precious.In peaceful times, the British royal family basically would not award such titles that are 'not easy to recover'!

In fact, Victoria has not conferred a hereditary title for 28 years!

Melissa obviously had a better idea of ​​the title than Long Hao. She opened her bright eyes wide and moaned: "The hereditary earl, Your Majesty, is this reward too, too big?"

"Not too big."

Victoria laughed and looked at Melissa as if she were her own child, "It's not hereditary. How can this guy be worthy of you?"

"The Earl of Beihai, are you satisfied?" Victoria cast her eyes on Long Hao.

"Satisfied, of course satisfied!"

Long Hao responded eagerly, with endless surprises on his face, but he was thinking in his heart: This reward is good, but it somewhat exceeds my expectations. It seems that Her Majesty the Queen should have other requirements to follow. I mention!

"With the title, there will be no obstacles between the two of you..."

Victoria continued talking on her own, with the appearance of 'May all lovers in the world get married': "Also. I will give you a gift of 100 million pounds in my own name... Also, the Royal Fleet in the Pacific, I I will give you the right to transfer 5 times, of course, there must be a reason for the incident, and you can't provoke things for no reason..."

Victoria is generous.The promises made during the blood exchange have been fulfilled one by one, and the quality has also improved. For ordinary people, at this time, they should be grateful and indescribable.

Long Hao is not an ordinary person, he understands in his heart.He not only cured the Queen's mutated hemophilia, but also gave three drops of "Immortal Dew" of inestimable value. These amazing rewards, in his eyes, were barely passable.

However, Long Hao also vaguely knew that this should only be a reward on the surface, and the real negotiation is yet to come. It will be a face-to-face, one-on-one contest between him and the queen!

"Melissa, Long Hao's award ceremony will be held after you are awarded the title of 'Princess Xianlu'. At that time, you will face a large number of royal family members, and there will be countless entertainments. How to prepare and not lose face, I think You have to prepare well." Victoria said to Melissa, "There is still some time before that day, you will live here with the king, meet and get acquainted with those royal family members first! In the future, they will be your brothers Sisters, live in harmony..."

"Yes!" Melissa nodded obediently.

The queen called an old palace butler, and he led Melissa to Buckingham Palace for a stroll.

After Melissa left, Long Hao smiled and said, "Her Majesty the Queen sent Melissa away on purpose. She must have something extremely important to tell me!"

Victoria glared at Long Hao, smiled after holding back for a while, and cursed: "You little cunning, you are not as honest as you appear on the surface! Yes, I have something confidential to tell you, that child Melissa is pure , and everything depends on you, so I won't let her get involved!"

"Queen, you have wronged me. I am loyal to you. The heavens can learn from it. How can I be dishonest?" Long Hao called out to Tianqu.

"Okay, stop acting, my great physicist, follow me!"

Victoria rolled Long Hao's eyes, stood up by herself, and walked towards the back of the restaurant.

There is a secret door at the back of the restaurant. Victoria touched a vase, and the secret door opened quietly. Victoria walked in first without saying much.Long Hao smacked his lips, secretly thinking that since ancient times, the saying that secret chambers and secret passages belong to the most palaces is indeed true, and he also sneaked in quickly.

After entering the secret door, they arrived at a study room not far away. Victoria turned on the wall lamp, and an orange desk and a book wall two meters high and four meters wide were revealed in Long Hao's eyes.

"Besides members of my British royal family, you are the sixth outsider to enter here!"

Victoria talked to herself, turned to the desk, and sat down gently: "You can also find a place to sit, although this place is small, it was left by my grandfather and uncle, and people who are not the King of England are not allowed to enter. "

Long Hao found a stool, wiped off the dust, sat down and said with a smile, "Ah, then I should feel quite honored! I'm really flattered..."

Victoria shook her head with a chuckle, and stroked the surface of the desk emotionally, as if she was recalling her memory: "Sitting here. It's like being held in my uncle's arms when I was a child... Long Hao, you cured my illness, and prolong my life for one year, you are absolutely qualified to come here, don't belittle yourself!"

Long Hao looked around, appreciating the environment of the study.She seemed to be casually smiling and said, "Looks like the Queen drank the first drop of Undead Immortal Dew..."

The queen nodded approvingly: "Yes, of course you have to drink such a precious and miraculous fairy dew by yourself! Otherwise, how could I have the energy to have breakfast with you today, Long Hao, you have already seen it, right?"

"I guessed..."

Long Hao rolled his eyes, with a proud expression on his face.Sighed: "I didn't expect the queen to trust me so much, I really... you are indeed the actual helm of the unfallen warship!"

"Needless to say beautiful words, you and I are both smart people, if you want to harm me, just say that you can't research the potion, so why bother to give me the Immortal Dew?"

"The queen is wise, and Long Hao admires it."

"Wisdom can't be said. I have lived decades longer than you, so I still have a little bit of experience." The Queen glanced at Long Hao.Suddenly opened the drawer and took out a red folder: "I have never met you, even with the blood relationship between me and Melissa, it is not worth you to take out such a precious 'Immortal Dew', Therefore, your plan must be big! For this reason, as the king of a country, I have to be cautious... Five days is a bit tight. Take a look, how many omissions or inconsistencies are there? "

Say it.The queen handed the folder to Long Hao who was on the opposite side.

Long Hao took the folder, opened it and looked down. At first, there was only a little surprise in his eyes, but the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and beads of sweat unconsciously dripped from his eyes. Oozing on the forehead.

This document is only ten sheets of paper and a few thousand words, but it almost covers Long Hao's life for more than ten years, especially his actions after arriving in the United States. In two years, except for some extremely secret events, he The rest of his actions, no matter how big or small, are all clearly written in black and white.

As the son of a criminal capital, he fled overseas...Killed Cherov, seized the ship and arrived in Alaska...Discovered gold mines, took advantage of the time difference, and bought a 99-year mining development right in Alaska from Michelle Todd at a low price...Hold Auction, tying well-known American chaebols like Morgan to the same boat... building momentum for Alaska's rich mineral resources, forcing the US government to recognize Alaska as the 43rd du li state capital... buying a shipyard in San Francisco... the original site The Meihao chemical plant in Portland has also been relocated. This chemical plant is not well-known, but it has produced a new drug that the American government loves and hates: penicillin... Steel tycoon Carnegie recently put the "Steel Kingdom" The whole country moved from Pittsburgh to San Francisco... The Spanish major, Melissa's cousin, Viscount Savoy Castillo, was recruiting troops south of San Francisco, but now he is leisurely visiting the Mexican President's villa...

In the document, every item related to Long Hao is a sentence or a line, but even if it is so brief, it still fills up nine sheets of paper!

Long Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, closed the folder, put it back on the desk, raised his head and forced a smile and said, "I don't know if I don't look at it, I was shocked when I saw it! I didn't know it myself, so I did such a thing." What an interesting thing, haha..."

"You startled?"

Victoria snorted, slapped the folder vigorously, and said, "When I saw it, I was at least ten times as surprised as you! This is something a kid under 15 did in just two years? If it wasn't for me Knowing that my intelligence department will not lie, I would think that they spent four days writing a bizarre novel for me to read! Long Hao, Long Hao, according to this information, I have to ask, are you a monster? ?”

evildoer?It seems that the alchemist who traveled back after 400 years can be regarded as a bug for this era...

Long Hao muttered in his stomach, of course he would not admit it: "Queen, you are serious. I am a living human being. How can I be a monster? I just saved you. Do you want to hand me over to the Inquisition? kill me?"

"Not to mention, this king has really considered this plan..."

The queen's half-cold tone knocked back Long Hao's words of intentionally enlivening the atmosphere.

"Uh……"

Long Hao looked aggrieved, "Don't be so heartless, no matter how evil I am, I'm still on Her Majesty's side!"

"Hey, that's not sure."

"Think about it carefully, although all these things have something to do with me. But in fact, I was a little bit lucky and found a big gold mine at the beginning..." Long Hao muttered while crossing his fingers : "For other people, if there is a huge amount of gold to support, the things they can accomplish may be more evil than me... Queen. My parents were killed by the Qing court, and my family was ruined. A poor man's luck is a little lucky. Is it wrong to be a little bit better?"

Long Hao compared his two fingers, trying to make Victoria realize that he was just lucky and there was no threat.

"Hey, you are more than a monster. You are simply against the sky!"

Victoria rolled her eyes, ignoring Long Hao's cuteness, then opened the folder again, and pointed her finger: "Even if you found a gold mine, you can explain it by luck against the sky, then you saved Hongmen's seventh son, shot Healing the face of a German gold digger's daughter, how does that explain it?"

"It's not obvious, I'm a pharmacist. It's a family tradition..."

"Don't do this with me, your father is a martial artist. Your mother can't read a word, so how can there be any family medical skills!"

"Queen, you don't understand the national conditions of our country. But if you become a governor, you will usually raise a few talented disciples. I learned my medicine dispensing skills from a Wang Langzhong..." Long Hao's face remained unchanged, and he did not change his face. Without hesitation, Wang Botao was pushed out as a shield.

"Okay. Skip the matter of dispensing medicine, China is a mysterious country..."

Victoria's eyes were like knives, she continued to tap on the desktop, and turned to the last page of the folder: "Then Long Hao, you can explain. This paper submitted to the journal Nature, "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics The Dual Phase of Microscopic Particles", is Who wrote it for you?"

"This...is my accidental discovery, it's not worth mentioning!"

Of course, Long Hao would not deny that "Quantum Mechanics" was written by himself. What he needed was a high academic reputation to attract scientific talents who only knew about research to serve him.

It would be great to have the queen to help build momentum now.

"Isn't it worth mentioning? Do you know that as soon as your paper was published, 89 professors of physics in the UK alone rushed to buy a boat ticket to the United States. Among them, 8 have the Royal Medal of Contribution to Science ...You are lucky, they went to the United States, but you, the Lord, sneaked to England!"

Victoria pointed at Long Hao, not knowing whether it was out of anger or amused: "Although this king doesn't know much about quantum mechanics, I firmly believe that such a paper that can cause a sensation in the physics world should never come from someone less than fifteen or two years old. It was still in the hands of a dude!"

"Hey……"

Long Hao sighed, wiped the bangs on his forehead, and said melancholy: "I don't want to either. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. I just wanted to add some attractiveness to my newly invested university, but who knows I'm like someone in the dark night. No matter where the fireflies fly, as long as the sky is not bright, they are dazzling existences in the vast sea of ​​people..."

"puff……"

Hearing such narcissistic words, the queen couldn't help falling down, her fingers trembling: "Long Hao, I have discovered another advantage of you. Your skin is too thick!"

"Okay, no kidding!"

Long Hao put away his melancholy expression, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I concealed it on purpose, but there is actually something else hidden in this matter, and because of the oath, I can't reveal it!"

"Oh?" The queen was slightly surprised: "So, you really wrote this paper?"

"Basically yes, the idea comes from me, but the subsequent experimental demonstration, processing and embellishment are all assisted by my subordinates." Long Hao said honestly.

"That's amazing too..."

Victoria looked up at the sky... the ceiling, and murmured, "Is there really a saint born to know?"

"Hehe, I'm not a saint."

Long Hao's ears were very sharp, and he quickly said with a giggle: "Have you ever heard, the Queen, that there is a saying in Buddhism about the reincarnation of a soul boy?"

Victoria's eyes lit up, she sat up straight, and blurted out, "You, are... the reincarnated soul boy?"

Long Hao pursed his lips, smiling vaguely, and said: "Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it! In fact, is it so important what I am? As long as my existence can bring benefits to Her Majesty, everyone will be happy." Immortal dew, but I am the only one who can make it!"

"Hmph, trying to blackmail me with Immortal Dew is a wishful thinking!"

Victoria snorted softly and tapped on the desktop: "I'll tell you everything... Physicist of Longda University, the publication of your paper caused a serious loss of scientists in our country. Do you know that when they went to the United States, many of them may be I can't come back!"

Halo, is this also my fault? <Children in the restless period, once you speak, the United States dare not let you go?Besides, if most of them can't come back, can your navy let them go?

"Okay, then what do you think we should do? Shall I hold a symposium in London to call back these scientists who are thirsty for knowledge?" Long Hao spread his hands.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, Britain is a country of freedom, and the freedom of scientists' life is absolutely protected by the sacred constitution!"

Victoria squinted her eyes and smiled, which suddenly made Long Hao feel that the queen had turned into a chicken-stealing weasel: "They are going to the United States, even if I am the king of a country, I can't stop them, but people are in a foreign land, and everything is always inconvenient. I hope that the Earl of Beihai can gather these scientists for me after returning to the United States, so as not to be harmed by the lawless people in the United States..."

Well, I still don't worry about the loss of talent, so I want this young master to be your nanny!

"Okay, my Stanford University is just short of a group of talents!" Long Hao agreed: If you want me to be a nanny, I will naturally charge some nanny fees.
