All Heavens Film and Television: Starting from Caring for the Widow of a Comrade-in-arms

Elizabeth glanced at Philip, smiled and said, "Thank you! Thank you, we like the gift very much."

Russell pointed to the gift box and said, "Open it and have a look. If the Queen doesn't like it, I'll give it to Marlena."

The queen asked in surprise: "How can you ask for a gift after giving it to someone else?"

Philip said with a smile: "This is Corleone's style, I just said it's fun to be with him, open it and have a look."

The two worked together to unwrap the gift, and after opening the box, they were all dumbfounded.

"Oh! My God! Diamonds!!"

Philip looked up in astonishment: "Corleone, this... this is too precious."

Queen Elizabeth was very surprised. She did not expect the Russell couple to give such a precious gift. The pigeon egg blood diamond is not only unique, but also priceless!

No wonder he wanted to go back and give it to Marlena...

The two fiddled with the diamond over and over again, loving it extremely.

Russell advised them to wear it and never take it off again, as it was a symbol of their love.

The queen is very happy, which woman does not like expensive diamonds?

Even Malena's eyes straightened when she saw the two diamonds.

But she won't be jealous because she has better ones.

"Russell! Stay here tonight, we'll spend Christmas together tomorrow."

Philip invited.

"My child can't be home alone..."

"It's okay, take them here. Queen, what do you think?"

"Okay! Marlena, I will personally take you to visit the Wangting Museum tomorrow. There are many good things there. As long as you like it, I can give it to you."

Under the unfavorable hospitality, Russell could only send someone to pick up the children with the royal guards, and they lived in Buckingham Palace that night.

When the head of MI[-], Richard White, was frightened into a cold sweat after knowing this, he was glad that there was no conflict with Russell Corleone, otherwise his position would not be guaranteed, but his life would be great!

Elizabeth and Philip stared at the diamond morosely in the room.

"This is a treasure passed down from generation to generation..."

Philip asked: "How should I give back? You need to know Russell's status in Sicily, he is not bound by Italy."

"Didn't I say let them pick two gifts at the museum?"

"not enough."

"Then what do you say?"

"How about a false title?"

Chapter 174 Free Earl of the British Empire, Trading with the Queen

Buckingham Palace was built by the Duke of Buckingham in 1703, and later George III bought it and it became the queen's private palace.

Now, here is Queen Elizabeth's work place and bedroom, and she usually returns to Windsor Castle on weekends.

A monarch flag flies from the flagpole in the central area of ​​Buckingham Palace, which means that the queen is here.If she hadn't been here, it would have been the flag of the United Kingdom on the flagpole.

Since the queen and the duke are both in Buckingham Palace, it should be heavily guarded, but Russell doesn't like such constraints, and Duke Philip can also see it, so he evacuated the guards guarding the Russell family and went downstairs to stand guard.

The children were very excited. When Vido, Kaqi and Mansha came here, they were a little dumbfounded. They had no idea that their parents had friendship with the Queen, and the Queen invited them to stay in Buckingham Palace!

In school, I always heard from my classmates how prosperous and noble Buckingham Palace is, but now I feel the same when I witness it with my own eyes... It is similar to the Caesars Palace built by their father in Las Vegas. The only difference is that there are too many rules, no matter where you go There are guards.

What makes Vido excited is that he has the capital to compete with those noble classmates when he returns to school. In the past, when he was in Sicily, he always used the title of knight to overwhelm others. In London, the title of knight is not so honorable, because the school that Russell arranged for him is Exclusively for nobles, it is full of children from noble families.

Wei Duo was not affected by this. His ability to adapt to the environment is very strong, and he got along with other students in just a few days. Although he also had opponents, they could not pose a threat to him.

The performance of the children was seen by the father, and Russell expressed his satisfaction. All of his children have city halls and excellent abilities.

In the early morning, the three of Vido met Queen Elizabeth. Vido performed a knightly ceremony, which made Elizabeth a little confused. After chatting, she learned that Vido's name was given by the former king of Italy, and he also conferred the title of knight.

Elizabeth glanced at Duke Philip, and the result of their conversation last night was yet to be discussed...

After breakfast with the Russell family, the queen and duke arrived at the cottage.

"Corleone's sons are all knights... Then the result we agreed on last night will be overthrown. What kind of title should be conferred? If the title is too high, the cabinet may not pass it. It seems like a child's play to them."

Philip said silently: "You need to know the status of the Corleone family in Sicily. He is a rare talent. If Corleone becomes our partner, it will be a great achievement in the future!"

Queen Elizabeth reacted and said anxiously: "He has such great strength, and his appetite is not small. How can I feed him?"

"The benefits are reciprocal. We are younger than him. As long as we give him enough respect and benefits, he can help us tide over the difficulties at critical moments. I received a call from the director of MI[-] this morning. White has already Suspended the intelligence work in London, and made up our minds to rectify the local intelligence, those who were in office will stand in this change!"

Elizabeth said: "What about abroad?"

"This is the advantage of wooing Corleone. His relationship with the United States is much deeper than we imagined! Hoover of the FBI will give him face. Besides, he is a pure businessman. The mafia is different, he has a bottom line and brains. In the future, we can learn how to do business with him, otherwise the huge foundation will be eroded by moths..."

Philip said deeply: "When I go to museums and private arsenals, I will ask him what he means from the side. If he refuses... we should use greater reputation to attract until he agrees."

It stands to reason that the queen and the duke are already the most noble people in Britain, and they shouldn't be seduced in this way.

Why do you do this?

This is a simple description of the internal turmoil in Britain today.

Since Queen Elizabeth has just worn the crown for a few years, the internal cleaning work has not yet been completed, and many moths from the previous dynasty are lying on the back of the United Kingdom to suck blood. The consortium and various families have different opinions and directions, and none of the Queen's political suggestions are adopted...

Various agencies are soliciting money, for example, the Military Intelligence Agency, no matter the Fourth, Sixth, or Seventh Branches, there are spy informants from the United States, the Soviet Union, Israel and other countries.

Not to mention scientific research institutes and military institutions.

All in all, it's a tough time for the couple at the moment.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and the pressure can be imagined.

When visiting the museum, Queen Elizabeth's son Charles, the Duke of Cornwall was also present to accompany the trio.It looked like two ordinary families were shopping.

Philip took the opportunity to chat with Russell, and when he revealed his intention to knight Russell, he saw that Russell's face was clearly unhappy.

Philip tried to explain that he was a title above Viscount, but Russell was still indifferent, just explaining that he was an Italian citizen.

"Void titles, there were many such titles during the Holy Roman Empire, such as highlands, wastelands, forests, palaces, etc... I think the title of Baron of the Wasteland is very nice, and it sounds very simple."

Russell smiled and said to Philip: "The location of Sicily is very important, and it will not be a wasteland in the future."

Philip nodded and said, "That's true, what about the Earl of the Palace?"

"I don't like to be restrained, but I yearn for freedom."

"Freedom...yes, this is your style, Corleone!"

The two did not talk about political matters, because they both knew it well.

If Russell accepted the title, it would be tantamount to standing on the same line with the Queen of England.

Besides, if there is only one title but no real power, it will not pose a threat to the cabinet and other nobles, but it is just a little uncomfortable.

In this continent of Europe, feudalism still exists and is deeply rooted.

Honor means everything!

Queen Elizabeth asked the Russell couple to choose two favorites in the museum or the weapons exhibition hall, and they could decide to give them to them.

Malena was obviously a little embarrassed, because besides the queen and the duke, there were several cabinet nobles beside her.

Russell picked out a Viking battle ax in the Weapons Exhibition Hall. The battle ax was carved with dark red patterns, and the blade was sharp, looking menacing.

"This ax is a spoil of war in the Middle Ages. According to records, it was a personal weapon led by a group of Viking pirates at that time..."

Russell nodded: "I like it."

"give you!"

Philip waved his hand and laughed.

Russell chose this Viking battle ax for a simple reason.

It can be taken into the space, you must know that in the world of the heavens, such items are rare.

"You like cold weapons? Corleone, I have collected two strong bows made by the Inuit, and I can give them to you as well."

"Strong bow? A bow under sixty pounds is not a strong bow."

"Of course, both bows are over sixty pounds."

After a group of people strolled around the city of London, it was soon afternoon.

Elizabeth invites the Russell family to Windsor Castle, where she will spend Christmas Eve with them.

The children were very happy, especially Charles, who used to be lonely on Christmas Eve with no playmates but guards and bodyguards or maids.

Charles had a great time today, and he found that Vido had been taking care of him specially, dragging him around from time to time.

There is a five-year age difference between the two, but there is no generation gap at all. This is one of Vido's strengths. He can quickly integrate into any environment.

After Elizabeth and Philip saw it, they also said that Vido was a sensible and good boy.

This Christmas Eve was very fulfilling, and the city of Windsor Castle was very lively. When many British aristocrats came to visit, they all saw Russell sitting next to Philip.

Although they didn't know each other, they still nodded their heads in greeting.

When Richard White, the director of MI[-], came, he was stunned.

He thought it was a hallucination due to blurred eyes, but when Philip introduced Russell to him, he recovered and found that it was reality...

I have to say that even though I was prepared in my heart, when I saw this scene, I still suffered a lot of trauma.

White clearly knew that he had no chance to turn around with Russell. As long as Philip and the Queen were alive, he would have to be cautious when meeting Russell in his life.

"Duke, this Mr. White is a shrewd man."

"Yeah... His recent behavior is very in my mind."

When White heard these two conversations before leaving, his heart was ashamed.The little hope in his heart dissipated instantly at this moment. His promotion was really related to Russell Corleone!

This was a kind of recommendation in the Middle Ages, but the things he did before were too disappointing to the benefactor.

Therefore, it is necessary to make up and ease this relationship.

As Christmas Eve drew to a close, Russell took Marlena and the children and left in the car, with presents from the Queen and the Duke in the trunk.

There are Viking battle axes, ice hosta from the Ming and Qing Dynasties of the ancient oriental country, imperial green ring fingers, pearl necklaces, jasper pendants... two Inuit bows and arrows, and two antique shotguns.

The queen's return gift is very important, not only Russell and Marlena have gifts, but also Victoria, Kaqi and Mansha.

The most important thing is the title of knighthood. Philip came to ask about the false title of knighthood, what level and title he wanted.

Russell expressed his thoughts unceremoniously. Whether he can pass the cabinet, parliamentarians and other review agencies depends on how the queen and Philip do.

Back home, Russell took out the Viking battle axe, tossed it over and over again in his hand, and then took it out from the space grid, and so on.

The texture of the handle of the tomahawk has been worn away, and Russell wrapped the rope a few times to ensure that it would not fall out of his hand, and then satisfactorily put it in the space.

July 1957.

Philip was crowned Prince, and Russell was invited on the day of his ceremony.

The nobles and honorable guests watched the ceremony quietly. After Prince Philip's ceremony was over, Queen Elizabeth came out and said the list of the next canonizations.

First, a few nobles were promoted, and then the dignitaries changed positions.

Then Russell was conferred the title of 'Free Earl' by the Queen under everyone's gaze!

Everyone present looked at each other in astonishment, they never thought that an Italian could be made an earl by the Queen of England!

Although it is a title of the Holy Roman Empire and does not have any real power in the UK...but this is too eye-catching.

After explaining Russell's identity, everyone present wisely chose to shut up.

Russell Corleone, Emperor of Sicily?That's fine.

A few days ago, Philip called and told Russell about the knighthood. When Russell learned that it was the title of free earl, he expressed his satisfaction.The last time I chatted with Philip, he revealed from the side that he would not accept titles below the baron, and at the same time let Philip know that he likes freedom.

Being knighted is a very important and sacred thing in the eyes of others, but for Russell, he doesn't have much vanity.

One is to add a touch of performance to the evaluation of the heavens.The second is to have a reliable identity in Europe and to do things conveniently.

To put it bluntly, it's all about profit.

That night, Queen Elizabeth had dinner alone with the newly promoted Earl Corleone.
