The grand event officially began. The golden carriage stopped smoothly at the gate. The door was pointed at the red carpet on the ground. The host Xiao Letian came out of the gate with his men in costumes and walked down in three steps. steps.
All the guests in the hall put down their tea bowls and souvenirs and stood up to greet the queen. Ladies could wait at their seats, while all the men gathered on both sides of the aisle in the hall to wait for the queen to enter.
The welcoming trumpet sounded cheerful and melodious, and there was thunderous applause in the hall. The door of the golden carriage opened. Prince Edward was the first to jump out, followed closely by Emperor Tongzhi.
The two of them did not enter the hall immediately, but turned around and respectfully waited for the Queen to get off the car.
As soon as one of the Queen's feet touched the red carpet, Edward immediately supported the Queen's left arm, while Emperor Tongzhi reached out and held the Queen's right hand.
The three of them walked onto the red carpet with smiles on their faces. Xiao Letian didn't care about what was happening and didn't say anything, but the other Chinese officials had much weirder expressions.
The stormtroopers' teeth were itching, and Xiang Ying was scolding him in his heart! It's embarrassing, it's really embarrassing. After all, you are also the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but you have flattered me to this extent.
Even if Queen Victoria is a politician of the same generation as your grandfather, you should be respectful as a descendant, but don't be so shameless?
Are you competing with Prince Edward to act as a filial son and a virtuous grandson? Shame on you, shame on you!
I scolded in my stomach, but I couldn't say anything. This was an important diplomatic occasion and no one could lose their composure, not to mention that so many reporters had already started taking pictures. This was all historical data.
But some people still couldn't hold it back. Lin Zhen lowered his head and spat secretly, "Are you stupid? You flatter me on such an occasion. You don't even think about what the camera is for. In the future, these photos will be returned to the Qing Dynasty, you stinky boy." Just wait for those old stubborns from the Eight Banners to go crazy!"
"Keep your voice down, are you crazy?" Cai Bixia raised his foot and stepped on Lin Zhen's instep. He turned around and twisted it hard. Lin Zhen almost yelled in pain.
As the Queen moved forward, the Golden Carriage also drove away from the main entrance. The Royal Golden Carriage No. 2 began to stop in sequence. Edward's wife and son, Prussia's little grandson, and other senior royal nobles got off the car. , they are the most important members of the empire, and of course they have to be the last to enter the finale.
Not only the royal family members, but also Benjamin, Gladstone and others then stepped off the carriage and gathered together on the red carpet. These were the last quarter of the distinguished guests, all the big shots of the British royal family and cabinet.
Xiao Letian smiled and bowed to the Queen, "Thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for coming in person and for being able to attend this simple banquet. You also know that we have just arrived in Europe and many things are not fully prepared, so please forgive me for being rude... …”
The Queen smiled and said, "I have heard from His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the Duke of New York. They told me that the East has unique delicacies that will stun all of Europe. For your dinner, I will even provide afternoon tea." You didn’t even drink!”
"Hahaha, Her Majesty the Queen is joking, please...as long as you don't mind the shabby food, it will be my honor!"
After seeing the Queen off, Xiao Letian reached out and shook hands with Crown Prince Edward, "I hope you can enjoy yourself tonight!"
"Haha, of course you have to enjoy it. Newcastle told me that you have a mysterious oriental spice, or is it a family secret? It is said that the taste is so unique that even God can't control it? I really want to taste this..."
"This is my wife, you have seen it yesterday!" Behind the prince is a beautiful woman with Nordic appearance. This is Prince Edward's wife, Princess Alexandra, the daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark.
It has to be said that the skin of Nordic women is white. It looks like milk up close. Such fair skin adds a lot of points to her, so that a woman with a medium beauty who is only 70 points can be regarded as an 80 point beauty.
Xiao Letian gave a kiss on the hand skillfully, "She turns out to be a princess from the land of mermaids. No wonder she is so beautiful. I didn't have time to praise you yesterday. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me for being so busy yesterday!"
Princess Alexandra never expected that the legendary political strongman in East Asia, the founder of an emerging force, would have such a witty side. In her impression, although Xiao Letian was not a green-faced man with sharp teeth, he was also experienced in many battles. General.
Isn't this kind of person supposed to be a serious person? Even if he is joking, there are countless hooks inside and outside the words. I really didn't expect that there is such a side.
"Oh, God! Your guard really astonishes me. In front of so many beauties today, I can't afford such praise... Let me introduce to you, this is the Empress of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Elisabeth Amy Lea Eugenie von Wittbach…”
"Call me Sissi! I like this title..." Before Alexandra could finish her introduction, the noble queen interrupted her.
Their eyes met, and at that moment Xiao Letian's heart seemed to suddenly stop. Everything in front of him suddenly became false, and the time and space above, below, left, and right disappeared, and there were only two of them in the world.
Today, Princess Sissi still wears light makeup, and the jewelry on her body is expensive but definitely not much. The light of any jewelry will be dim in front of her beauty!
This is a woman who can stop time, especially those melancholy eyes that make Xiao Letian's heart beat wildly.
"Calm down, you must calm down, what's wrong with me, you can't be rude, you absolutely can't be rude!" Xiao Letian desperately encouraged himself in his heart. Today's occasion is not the right place. With so many big shots watching, any rude behavior will be ignored. Causing unnecessary conflicts.
But he really underestimated the charm of the first court beauty in Europe in the 19th century. This kind of beauty that only God is qualified to possess is simply poison to all men.
Xiao Letian is not exempt from vulgarity.
Fang Guan, who was standing by, saw that something was wrong. She hurried over and waved her fan to smooth things over. "Dear queen, we meet again. Do you still like the tea I gave you?"
After finishing speaking, Fangguan turned to Xiao Letian and said, "Head of the State, the Queen fell in love with the faint bitter aroma after tasting the oriental green tea for the first time. I know you have the best green tea in your hand, why don't you take out some private goods..."
As she spoke, she deliberately fanned Xiao Letian's face with the folding fan in her hand. The meaning was very clear, it's time for you to wake up and don't get dizzy.
