0392 Royal Scandal
This big brother's shout was so natural and smooth that Bai Qing couldn't help laughing, turned around with a suppressed red face, his shoulders twitched, and Harridan had a weird expression on his face.
Even Ding Ning felt very unnatural and quickly waved his hands and said: "It was just a joke before, Prince Henry, you don't have to take it seriously."
"NO, as a gentleman, I still have the basic spirit of contract. Don't you think that being willing to admit defeat is a very beautiful virtue?"
Unexpectedly, Prince Henry did not follow the steps given by Ding Ning. He blinked his big blue eyes and maintained his gentlemanly demeanor plausibly, with a sincere attitude that was almost paranoid.
It has to be said that the English have always regarded themselves as gentlemen, and Henry, as a prince, is no exception. He looks cuter at this moment.
But this was embarrassing. Prince Henry was the eldest among the four. He was thirty-two years old this year, ten years older than Ding Ning. He opened and shut up to call him big brother, which made all three of them feel a little weird.
It was Harridan who reacted faster. He immediately grabbed Prince Henry and said in half-baked Chinese dialect: "Brother Ding Ning and I fell in love at first sight. How about we become sworn brothers in Xinglin."
"Puch!"
Ding Ning and Bai Qing burst into laughter, and even the four bodyguards couldn't help laughing.
Harridan was laughed at inexplicably: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"Harridan, you really need to learn your Chinese dialect. It should be said that we feel like old friends at first sight. Love at first sight is used to describe the relationship between a man and a woman. As for the sworn relationship in the apricot grove, there is no such idiom. It is called the sworn bond in the peach garden."
Bai Qing smiled and explained patiently.
Harridan had a straightforward temperament and knew it was a joke. He scratched his head and laughed dryly, then asked humbly: "What is Taoyuan?"
Henry's level of Chinese dialect was not very good, and he looked at Bai Qing with a desire for knowledge, waiting for him to explain.
Bai Qing was also drunk, so he could only patiently explain to them the allusion of the Taoyuan Three Brothers in China's history, which made the two foreigners listen intoxicated.
"Then let's find a peach garden to become sworn brothers, shall we?"
Harridan seemed to understand, but after Bai Qing finished speaking, he couldn't wait to speak.
"The sworn brotherhood in the Taoyuan is just an allusion. It means the most sincere feelings between brothers. It does not have to be sworn in the Peach Garden. It means cutting off chicken heads, drinking blood wine, paying homage to Guan Gong, and making an alliance with blood. I will wait for the opportunity to talk to you slowly in the future.
To put it bluntly, things like sworn vows are simply a ritual. The friendship between gentlemen is lighter than water, and the love of brothers is more valuable than the heart. We don't need to stick to that form at all, Ding Ning, what do you think?"
Bai Qing didn't object to the sworn sworn relationship, but he couldn't figure out Ding Ning's thoughts and didn't dare to agree easily. He looked at him inquiringly.
"Okay, as long as you don't have any objections."
Ding Ning was noncommittal about this. Although Prince Henry behaved very arrogantly before, after getting to know him better, he discovered that this guy is also a very cheerful, enthusiastic and affectionate person. Otherwise, he would not have stayed with Harridan in this sensitive period.
Went to China to seek medical treatment.
Not to mention Harridan, from his friendliness at first meeting to his magnanimity in his dealings with others, he is a person worth getting to know.
Seeing his indifferent expression, everyone didn't think he was trying to reach a higher level, but took it for granted.
In their view, Ding Ning was a capable person, not much lower than their status. They even had some vague respect for him, and they were very happy to see him agree.
So, under the witness of the four bodyguards, Ha Da, Ha Er, Ha San and Ha Si, the four of them were arranged in order of age. The eldest Henry, the second eldest Bai Qing, the third harridan and the fourth Ding Ning lit three cigarettes and formed a knot.
The Jinlan brothers.
"Haha, I have become the boss from the youngest brother. Come on, fourth brother, call me big brother and let me feel comfortable."
As soon as Prince Henry paid his respects, his smug self was immediately revealed, and he screamed to regain his place. His despicable look made Ding Ning think twice, and she always felt like she had been on a pirate ship.
"Okay, stop making trouble and continue my topic now. I didn't want to talk about it before because it would involve family scandal. Now that we are brothers, there is nothing to hide from you."
The smile on Harridan's face faded and he said in a deep voice.
Hada and the four bodyguards withdrew consciously. It was better for them to know less about the royal scandal. Although Harridan trusted them, they knew what they should know and what they should not know.
According to Haridan, Princess Thecla was his mother's sister, that is, his aunt's daughter, nine years younger than him and the same age as his little brother Edin.
Arabia is a polygamous country, and his father had more than a dozen wives. Although there are only three brothers, Khalidan, Karaman and Edin, who are eligible to inherit the throne of Dubai, in fact, he is not the only one with these three brothers;
There are seventeen of them, including more than thirty sisters. This is obvious. Secretly, there are still many illegitimate children of his father. It's just that those brothers are either too young or unable to become cis children for other reasons.
Just an heir.
This made Ding Ning fascinated. Polygamy is such a wonderful social system. Should we immigrate to the United Arab Emirates?
Khalidan changed the subject and became a little nervous. It turned out that his aunt Qasimi was the queen of King Sultan of Sharjah, that is, the queen of Sharjah, the third largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates.
You must know that the United Arab Emirates is a federal country composed of seven Arab emirates. The Federal Supreme Council of Emirates is composed of the chiefs of the seven emirates and local hereditary nobles and wealthy businessmen. It is the highest authority. Major domestic and foreign policy issues are decided by the Supreme Council of Emirates!
As the second largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is also a member of the Federal House of Emirates. However, if it wants to win the right to speak in the House of Emirates and become president, it must recruit allies to fight against the largest emirate, Abu Dhabi.
Sharjah, the third largest emirate, is obviously the most suitable target for them to win over, so Haridan got engaged to Sikara and formed this political marriage.
But the problem is that his father Rashid was a romantic by nature, and his aunt Qasimi was his lover before she got married. Even after she married Sultan, the two often had trysts. So whose daughter is Sikla?
Even Rashid and Qasimi didn't know it.
Therefore, Harridan was extremely resistant when he knew that he was going to be engaged to Sikara. After all, although Arab countries do not care about incest marriage, it is still very unacceptable if they are brothers and sisters.
But Rashid was ambitious and wanted to become the president of the United Arab Emirates, so he put the overall situation first, so he had to accept the marriage with humiliation. After all, even if he married his half-sister, he would not be able to do it.
You can have more wives.
In order to feel at ease, Haridan secretly collected Sikla's hair and asked someone to do a DNA test secretly, but the result surprised him. Sikla was his father's daughter, and he was not Rashid's biological son. This
The blow was like a bolt from the blue to him.
So in order to find out the truth, he secretly conducted an investigation, and finally discovered that Sultan was having an affair with his mother, and that he was Sultan's son.
Ding Ning and others looked at each other in shock after hearing this. The relationship between men and women in the royal family is too ridiculous. It is simply a complicated and bloody palace ethics drama.
Prince Henry, on the other hand, has long been accustomed to this. He was born in the royal family and has seen many more dirty things than this one. Not to mention the affair, even things that mess with seniority are not uncommon.
Although the so-called royal aristocrats may look glamorous and beautiful on the surface, making people admire and respect them, in fact, most people's lives are corrupt in private, with dirty souls hidden under the sanctimonious disguise.
After all, power, money, identity, and status are things that others need to fight for all their lives. They are born with them. They have lost their life goals long ago. Their lives are too ordinary and they can only live like parasites and do all kinds of extraordinary things.
And absurd things, seeking strange excitement from them.
Having said this, Prince Henry showed a hint of bitterness on his face: "Just like me, I was born a prince. I had to learn court etiquette from an early age and received the so-called elite education. Even if I go out shopping, I have to be accompanied by dozens of people.
It seems that he is full of authority and authority, but in fact he is the same as
What is the difference between prisoners? Sometimes I would rather be born in an ordinary family and have ideals and goals like ordinary people to struggle and strive for. To put it bluntly, what will happen even if I become the Emperor? I will still be tortured.
A spiritual leader who goes to the altar has no real power at all."
Ding Ning was silent. Although what Prince Henry said was somewhat suspicious of a full man not knowing how hungry a hungry man is, what he said was indeed the truth.
To this day, the Emperor is only a symbol of the royal family. He used to have constitutional power, but now he has no real power at all and serves more as a spiritual symbol.
Not to mention that it would be difficult for Prince Henry to ascend the throne of the King of England. Even if he does, what will happen? It is not as fulfilling as ordinary people struggling to live a fulfilling life for their dreams.
Harridan is better off. After all, he still has a goal to strive for. He will first become the King of Dubai, and then strive to become the President of the United Arab Emirates. This life can be considered wonderful.
He didn't know Bai Qing's family background, but even if he was born into a wealthy family, in China, a country where aristocrats basically do not exist, fighting against the sky and the earth would be endless fun, and there would be no shortage of goals to strive for.
Speaking of the four of them, Prince Henry, who seemed to have the most respectable status, lived the most miserable life. He was not short of money or fame. The only thing he was short of was real power, but he was destined to be unable to fight for it.
To him, the royal status is like useless food. It is a pity to throw it away. It is not as good as an ordinary person's down-to-earth struggle step by step to realize the fulfillment of his dream life.
As soon as this boring topic came up, Prince Henry opened a bottle of red wine and drank it down. His face was full of decadence and frustration, and he lamented: "Sometimes I don't know why I am alive. I am really tired."
From his decadent and confused demeanor, Ding Ning seemed to see the decline of a decadent dynasty. The British Empire, which once dominated the world, had embarked on a rapid decline.
From the perspective of nationalism and the crimes committed by the British Empire against China in history, Ding Ning should be applauded.
The decline and fall of a powerful dynasty is a historical necessity. No one can establish a peaceful dynasty for all eternity. This is the inevitable trend of historical development. There is nothing to hurt the spring and autumn.
But from a personal perspective, Ding Ning really couldn't bear to watch this newly sworn brother get lost in the decadence and depravity of losing his life goal.
In a situation like his, he has already begun to show signs of depression. If he is not relieved in time, big problems will occur sooner or later. As a doctor, he has the responsibility and obligation to guide him to establish a healthy outlook on life.
