Chapter 1321 Her Majesty the Empress Wants to Be Da Bao's Godmother

When Zuo Mingyue was wheeled out of the ward, she was followed by three nurses, each carrying a swaddled baby. Da Bao, carrying Nuannuan, walked over, bent down, and pressed his face against his wife's still sweaty face.

Zuo Mingyue smiled happily. She kissed her husband and daughter, and Da Bao's finger touched her lips. A stream of spiritual well water instantly flowed through her body...

Sure enough, the two loud and clear voices belonged to the daughter, and the weak one was the son. The three children looked exactly alike, except that the two older sisters were a size bigger than their younger brother.

Lu Xiue held her two granddaughters in one arm and one in the other, while Qin Qingyou held his grandson with obvious affection.

After looking at her younger siblings one by one in Da Bao's arms, Nuan Nuan touched her younger brother's forehead with her little hand and said...

"You seem weak. Don't worry, if the younger sisters bully you in the future, I'll stand up for you."

Hearing this, Qin Qingyou finally grinned and touched Nuannuan's little face.

Zuo Mingyue was discharged from the hospital on the third day after giving birth. On the same day, Princess Sofia, Zuo Wenbin, Athena and Edward arrived in London. Zuo Wenbin was overjoyed to see the three newborn babies.

Strangely enough, of the three children, except for the eldest who has slightly blue eyes, the others all look exactly like their father. When you put the faces of the four of them together, you can tell they are family.

Zuo Mingyue laughed heartily. She had drunk the spirit well water and taken the snow ginseng pills, so she didn't need to observe any postpartum confinement. Lu Xiu'e knew her family's secret, so she didn't care. And foreigners don't have the concept of postpartum confinement at all.

The three children have very different personalities. The second child is lively and active, while the third is relatively quiet. However, whenever the youngest tries to take milk, she is always the first to react.

Da Bao doesn't care about that. He thinks it's a blessing for the younger brother to be bullied by his older sister.

The addition of a new member to the family has always been one of the greatest joys for Chinese people. On the day the three babies turned one month old, the eldest child was celebrated at home with only Arthur and his wife, John Davis and Norma Sabu, and Guo Yingnan.

These four foreigners were seeing what a Manchu Han Imperial Feast was like for the first time. Although it was only half of it, with only fifty-four dishes, they were still completely satisfied and ate to their hearts' content.

Just as the group was enjoying their meal, an uninvited guest arrived.

Queen Elizabeth II arrived at Da Bao's house in a small entourage.

Da Bao and Zuo Mingyue greeted the Queen with the children in their arms. When the Queen saw Princess Sofia, the two hugged each other excitedly. It turned out that they were cousins ​​and had not seen each other for twenty years.

Da Bao wasn't surprised at all. The Spanish, French, and English royal families were originally linked by marriage and were very close in blood.

The Queen looked at the three children in turn, and she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. At present, the highest mortality rate for women in the world is still childbirth. As the saying goes, a woman giving birth is one foot in the human world and one foot in the gates of hell. This is by no means an exaggeration.

The Empress then sampled the Manchu Han Imperial Feast at Da Bao's house. She found it somewhat difficult to get used to Chinese cuisine. Da Bao, standing nearby, secretly scoffed, thinking, "It's true what they say, a wild boar can't eat fine chaff."

The Empress led Da Bao to the garden. Da Bao was a little puzzled; it seemed the Empress had something to say to him.

The Empress glanced at Da Bao and said leisurely.

"Would you like to join England? I have stripped you of your title of Duke of Bedford, but if you join England, I will grant you the title and become your godmother. You will be my godson."

Da Bao calmed down instantly. He walked forward side by side with the Empress. After a while, Da Bao finally spoke.

"There's a Chinese saying, 'There's no such thing as a free lunch.' Your Majesty, you've given me so many benefits, what do you want from me?"

The Empress smiled and took Da Bao's arm. Da Bao immediately felt a chill run down his spine and tried to break free. He didn't like old women, no matter what his status was.

Foreign women don't have so many tricks up their sleeves, of course. The Empress didn't know either; in just a moment, Da Bao's thoughts had already gone through ten or eight different ideas.

The Queen's voice was deep.

"The situation in Hong Kong is very bad. There are many factors involved, including those in China and Taiwan. Things are very turbulent in Hong Kong. Berwick's term still has more than three years left."

This man is indecisive, and the current situation in Hong Kong is largely due to him. However, he's on Harold's side, so I can't easily touch him.

Therefore, I want you to go to Hong Kong to serve as the Secretary for Security, responsible for the defense of the entire city. You are a duke and my godson; Berliggy has no right to bully you.

I believe there should be two voices in Hong Kong, and the person I trust most is you.

Da Bao wasn't swayed by the Queen's sweet talk. As he walked, he pondered. Indeed, he had met Berwick, a typical Englishman who was slow and indecisive.

The Queen's decision to appoint him as the Secretary for Security was, upon closer examination, a brilliant move. Firstly, Da Bao was Chinese, and since 99% of the people in Hong Kong were Chinese, Hong Kong people were more likely to accept him.

Secondly, Da Bao's methods are well-known to anyone who asks around: if you can take action, try to avoid making noise. As the head of security, in a colony, you need to have ruthless methods. Compromise, tolerance, and avoidance will only make the situation more difficult to manage.

Another more important reason is that Tai-Bao is a major shareholder of HSBC and Standard Chartered, the two banks that issue banknotes in Hong Kong, and has veto power.

This put Hong Kong's economic lifeline in their hands. England has many colonies, all of which were acquired over the past two hundred years through shameless attacks and invasions against others.

Hong Kong is a double-edged sword to them, so the Queen only needs to achieve two goals: first, the ownership of Hong Kong, and second, the annual tax revenue from Hong Kong. These two things are enough.

After much deliberation, Da Bao finally nodded. After all, in his plans, his final home was still Hong Kong, since it was his own place. He just hadn't expected to return as the Secretary for Security.

But this is good too. Once he gets to Hong Kong, he'll be able to take decisive action and seize control of both the legitimate and criminal worlds. Whether Hong Kong remains chaotic or not will be up to Brother Bao to decide...

When the Empress saw that Da Bao had agreed, she was very happy and decided to confer an honor upon him three days later and adopt him as her stepson, at which time he could go to Hong Kong to take up his post.

After the Queen left, Da Bao told his family and friends about his trip to Hong Kong. Lu Xiu'e and Qin Qingyou looked visibly relieved. In this wretched place, all they saw when they went out were foreigners with green hair and blue eyes. It was difficult to even hear a word of Chinese. The old couple had a really tough time living here.

Now, upon hearing that they were going back to their own place, Lu Xiu'e and Qin Qing were visibly much happier...
