Prince Charles corresponded with Zhu Jingyuan many times, and even mailed handwritten letters and exchanged photos several times.
Theoretically, all the new clothes designed by Zhu Jingyuan will be given to Prince Charles first after Chu Yuqiang makes them.
Moreover, this set of clothing will be unique and will be slightly different from those that will be sold in subsequent batches.
Jean-Charles Prince remains at the forefront of the Paris and French and European markets.
At the same time, he is also the spokesperson for Ming-style formal wear designed by Zhu Jingyuan in Thailand and the West.
Prince Charles's endorsement fee is the clothes themselves and the honor.
Prince Charles believes that the friendship between the two is "pure" because there is no money involved.
Prince Charles has regarded Zhu Jingyuan as his "best friend in life."
Chu Yuqiang is Zhu Jingyuan's personal representative in Paris, and often comes to send new clothes to Prince Charles.
Charles specifically told his servants that whenever Chu Yuqiang came over, he would directly invite him to the reception room and then notify him.
Today was no exception. Prince Charles heard the servant's report and learned that Chu Yuqiang had brought someone else, who was also Zhu Jingyuan's representative, and had also sent him a new gift. He immediately rushed to the reception room very curiously.
Prince Charles wore a long-sleeved sailor suit today, shorts and high heels.
My figure is thinner than before, because I listened to Zhu Jingyuan's words and worked hard to lose weight.
Chu Yuqiang didn't think it was good or bad, he just said hello with a smile:
"I haven't seen you for a few days, His Royal Highness has been reduced again."
Prince Charles was very happy when he heard this, saying that he had lost weight was the nicest thing to say, so he laughed and nodded and said:
"It makes me healthier to lose weight. My weight is about to drop to 55 kilograms now, and I feel more flexible and lighter.
"I feel like I look more graceful now wearing this kind of clothes. The advice from my best friend is indeed the best.
"By the way, this is shopkeeper Guan, right? Is he the shopkeeper of Daming Airlines?
"Is this airline company of my best friend an airship manufacturer?"
A man weighing 55 kilograms and 110 kilograms can really be considered very thin.
Guan Zhengping thought in his heart that his own Prince Dashi was really good at deceiving people. The crown prince of Xiyi was deceived and became lame.
However, he was still very calm on the surface. He smiled and nodded in admiration and said:
"His Royal Highness should be the most elegant nobleman in the Western Continent.
"His Royal Highness Prince Oishi's airline does not operate airships, but flying machines.
"His Royal Highness Prince Dashi has created a real flying machine.
"Now I am here to apply for a patent as a representative, and I have submitted the application to the Patent Office of the French City Hall.
"Now, according to His Highness the Prince's wishes, I will give the first mature flying machine in the Western Continent to His Highness."
Prince Charles became interested when he heard about flying machines, and became excited when he heard that he would get Tessie's first plane.
Although I have had many firsts, the more times I do it, the less intense my feelings become.
The airplane, on the other hand, was unprecedented and the most fascinating form of flight.
Prince Charles immediately asked urgently:
"A mature flying machine? The first flying machine in the West? His Highness Prince Dashi wants to give it to me?"….
Guan Zhengping still kept smiling:
"Yes, this is what His Highness Prince Dashi meant. We have brought the flying machine and it is right outside.
"We can show His Highness how to fly right in front of the Palace of Versailles..."
Prince Charles almost jumped:
"Okay, great. His Royal Highness Prince Dashi is my best friend in life. This is my honor. Let's go and see it now."
Prince Charles put on a windbreaker and followed Guan Zhengping outside the palace with a few servants.
Looking at the empty square around him, Prince Charles asked Chu Yuqiang and Guan Zhengping with some doubts:
"Two shopkeepers..."
Guan Zhengping didn't wait for Prince Charles to ask, he immediately smiled and reassured:
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the plane will be here soon, it will fly directly over.
"I'll put out a flare now, and it will land in front of you."
Prince Charles suddenly understood, and then was a little surprised:
"There are no shadows around. Can it fly directly over? How far can it fly?"
Guan Zhengping smiled and said:
"At least two hundred kilometers, at least one circle around Paris. It's no problem to run ten rounds from Versailles to Paris."
Prince Charles was stunned, feeling that something was not right:
"A car may not be able to travel this far in one breath..."
Under the dull gaze of Prince Charles, Guan Zhengping released a red signal flare.
After Guan Zhengping's plane left Paris City Hall, it returned to the Xichang Manor in the suburbs for maintenance and refueling.
Then they agreed on a time, and when Chu Yuqiang and Guan Zhengping arrived at the Palace of Versailles, they also flew to and circled outside the Palace of Versailles.
After seeing the signal flare, we turned and entered the Palace of Versailles.
The surrounding guards received the notice from Prince Charles, and they just looked at it with astonished eyes. They were not frightened enough to shoot into the sky casually.
The plane arrived all the way in front of the palace and landed on the square in front of the Palace of Versailles.
After landing, he continued to slide and stopped in front of Chu Yuqiang, Guan Zhengping, and Prince Charles.
In an era when airplanes had not yet appeared, a plane fell from the sky and came to him.
And it was a gift given to him by others. This picture and its potential meaning made Prince Charles speechless with excitement.
After a long time, Prince Charles recovered from the shock:
"Oh my God, my dear friend's flying machine can be so flexible. It looks simpler than a car."
Guan Zhengping explained from the side:
"The simplest structure of a flying machine is indeed simpler than that of a car.
"Because the aircraft does not need a transmission structure, the engine is directly connected to the propeller.
"There is no need for a gearbox or transmission spindle. The wheels are directly unpowered and are only used for support and sliding.
"All that's left is two wings, a pair of rudders, and a person to sit on. It's that simple."
Prince Charles quickly ran to the plane, looked at the wings and frame of the plane, and then asked with curiosity and surprise:
"Such a simple structure can fly. Why couldn't people in the past do it?"
Guan Zhengping smiled and said:
"Because the previous engines were not powerful enough, the aircraft you see, the engine that looks very inconspicuous, has a maximum power of 64 horsepower."…
Prince Charles took a deep breath:
"Hey, it's so small and has 64 horsepower. Ming's technology is really too powerful!"
Guan Zhengping continued to smile and said:
"This aircraft is a gift to you. Do you need to fly it again for display?"
Prince Charles said immediately:
"Yes, I want to see it again to see how he takes off."
Guan Zhengping ordered his men to get gasoline from the car he was riding in and refuel the plane.
After checking the status of the aircraft again, the test pilot was replaced and the aircraft took off again.
Prince Charles watched the plane rising in front of him, turned to Guan Zhengping and Chu Yuqiang, and said very excitedly:
"I need someone to teach me how to fly a plane. I want to fly it in the sky..."
Guan Zhengping said very cautiously:
"I can arrange for someone to teach your servants or soldiers how to fly a plane, but I don't recommend you to fly it yourself.
[Recommended, @
His Royal Highness has always insisted on this.
"So, although Prince Dashi invented the airplane himself, he has never flown it himself.
"Because airplanes are completely different from cars. After a car breaks down, at most it will be unable to run, at most it will catch on fire, and people can jump out directly, and at most they will be injured.
"But if the plane breaks down at an altitude of tens of meters, people may fall directly to death...
"Moreover, current aircraft are too crude and are easily affected by wind in space.
"Even if there is no malfunction, a sudden cyclone can cause the plane to crash directly.
"You are the crown prince of the Kingdom of France, and you cannot put yourself in danger."
Prince Charles was immediately confused:
"Has His Highness Prince Oshikawa never flown a plane himself?"
Guan Zhengping nodded naturally:
"Yes, His Highness Prince Dashi certainly doesn't want you to take a flight rashly."
Prince Charles hesitated for a few seconds, and finally sighed softly:
"Then I will follow the advice of my best friend..."
Guan Zhengping's plane circled over the Palace of Versailles and made some "exciting" moves.
Such as drawing a figure 8, such as touching the ground to pass the field, such as quickly pulling up and diving.
Although compared with the flight performances of later generations, these movements look like they were made by an old lady.
But it seems very exciting to people at this time.
Those are things that balloons and airships never dare to think about. Human beings can finally fly freely.
The flying display also caught the attention of those around it.
King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette also received reports and notices from their servants one after another, and then couldn't help but bring their servants to the square.
Prince Charles introduced them, Chu Yuqiang and Guan Zhengping stepped forward to salute, and then explained the cause and effect.
As a result, the reactions of Louis XVI and the Queen were similar to those of the original Prince Charles.
He couldn't help but express that he also wanted to fly.
Flying, flying freely, is the instinctive fantasy of most human beings. ….
Chu Yuqiang and Prince Charles dissuaded his parents from learning to fly.
Duke Richelieu and Talleyrand arrived at Versailles in a carriage.
As they approached the palace in a carriage, they were both stunned when they saw the plane in the sky in the distance.
Duke Richelieu was stunned for a long time, and then said with a look of disbelief:
"Why is this plane in Versailles?"
Talleyrand had already thought of the reason:
"This... is probably another gift for His Highness Charles, His Highness Charles' close friend, His Royal Highness the Prince of Food..."
Duke Richelieu was a little angry and grabbed the car door tightly and said:
"We can't go on like this. We have to expose the Ming Dynasty's conspiracy. That Prince of Food is not a close friend of His Highness Charles at all.
"He is just using false friendship and using His Highness Charles' reputation to benefit himself and Ming Dynasty."
Talleyrand curled his lips and said:
"But the gifts from His Highness Prince Dashi are all genuine.
"This aircraft should be the first mature aircraft in France and even in Europe.
"No one can refuse this honor, especially the traditional nobles.
"If His Highness Prince Dashi gives it to you, can the Duke decisively refuse it?"
Duke Richelieu opened his mouth, hesitated for several seconds, and then said righteously:
"We can see through his sinister intentions and see through that this is a sugar-coated cannonball, and we will not be seduced by its exquisite appearance.
"His Royal Highness Charles was completely deceived by him, like a woman who has been coaxed by all kinds of small gifts and sweet words."
Talleyrand immediately guided him:
"Yes, that's it, so our persuasion must be done in a methodical way.
"We have to go to the king first
Your Majesty, then let the King decide. "
The carriages of the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary ran all the way to the stables in the palace without being blocked.
Talleyrand and the Duke of Richelieu got out of the carriage and told the receptionist that they wanted to see His Majesty the King.
As a result, I was told that His Majesty the King and the Queen were now in the square in front of the palace.
We were watching the air show with His Highness Charles, Shopkeeper Guan, and Shopkeeper Chu.
After hearing this, Duke Richelieu immediately covered his forehead weakly:
"Oh my God……"
Talleyrand sighed and said thoughtfully:
"That's fine, since everyone is here, we can just talk openly..."
