Stories between men and women often start with mutual curiosity. Elites like Princess Sissi and Xiao Letian have long been separated from the low-level interest between men and women.
The reason is actually very simple. It’s just that it’s too easy to get, and it’s already boring!
It is said that bird's nest, shark's fin, abalone and sea cucumber are delicious, but if you eat them every day, you will get tired of them every time. At this time, a bowl of multi-grain porridge and a plate of pickles may be more appetizing.
He has been in the army for three years and has not touched a woman. He has double eyelids when he sees a sow. But in the Forbidden City of the Imperial Palace, surrounded by three thousand beautiful women, he wants only one, so he will naturally feel bored with women.
Xiao Letian has no shortage of women. Although he is very self-controlled, he also has a grand view garden in his harem that belongs to him alone, and his two common wives are both stunning.
Princess Sissi has a pretty good reputation in European aristocratic circles, but she also has a Hungarian Grand Duke who has an affair with her. What’s even more incredible is that one of the lovers of his husband, Emperor Joseph of Austria, was actually chosen by Princess Sissi herself. .
Is it virtuous? Being able to take the initiative to find a lover for her husband shows the corruption of the European court atmosphere at that time.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Letian and Princess Sissi are both people who are tired of eating meat. Their mutual attraction is more spiritual than physical.
What attracted Xiao Letian to Princess Sissi was her thunderous reputation in later generations. After all, she was recognized as the most beautiful woman in the palace in the 19th century. Her life experience was very tragic, and her mysterious melancholy temperament deeply attracted Xiao Letian.
And Xiao Letian also has a unique flavor that attracts this melancholy queen, the mysterious elements of the East, his legendary rise experience, the steely manliness in blood and fire... and of course the various things brought about by this visit to Europe. Surprise.
In fact, Princess Sissi has become a loyal fan of this series of reports since the initial series of reports on Eastern Chinese became popular in Europe.
She collected all the series of reports on the Oriental Chinese people, including astronomy, geography, customs, food... and the legendary historical stories. These things not only attracted ordinary citizens, but also made these empty-spirited palace women A strong curiosity arose.
This time Princess Sissi left the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the name of traveling and relaxing, and her destination was London. She just wanted to see with her own eyes what these Orientals were like.
Of course, her impression of Xiao Letian was still very vague at that time.
After these Chinese entered London and the ink landscape paintings were hung all over the streets, the queen was shocked. She found that the mysterious East was far more attractive than she had imagined.
From being attracted by the oriental charm to being attracted by Xiao Letian, the key turning point was after two debates. One was the quarrel between St. Paul's Cathedral and the envoys of France and Tsarist Russia. At that moment, Xiao Letian showed the domineering side of the iron-blooded head of state.
The second debate was at Buckingham Palace to fight for the right to survive for the last batch of dodo birds in the world. At that moment, Xiao Letian once again showed the brilliance of endless compassion and humanity.
What a mysterious man! Compassion and domineering dictatorship, two unrelated temperaments, are actually blended together. Such a man is simply a killer of women, especially the natural enemy of elite women!
She never expected that there would be such a big surprise at tonight's banquet. Princess Sissi's eyes were wide open as she stood behind the Queen. Everything in front of her was so novel and so incredible.
It can use more than ten tons of ice to carve out China's sacred mountains, and use unique ink paintings to continuously surround the entire hall, visually creating an endless sense of distance.
You can even feel that your line of sight passes through the painting and extends infinitely to the end of the earth. At this moment, the entire hall seems to suddenly feel countless times wider. There are more than 300 people gathered together without feeling cramped at all.
Involuntarily, Princess Sissi's eyes became strange when she looked at Xiao Letian. It had nothing to do with love, just curiosity.
At this moment, Xiao Letian couldn't care less about the beauty's favor. He walked quickly to the queen and said with a smile, "Your Majesty? Is there anything wrong?"
The Queen looked weird and said, "This is China? Is it so beautiful?"
“I can swear to God that the real China is 10,000 times more beautiful than the paintings... But the beauty is not without ugliness. Poverty and ignorance are also plaguing this generation of Chinese people, and their inner confusion often makes them ignore it. Losing the beauty around me is also a kind of helplessness..."
The Queen took a deep breath, "I really can't believe what you said. If China is really ten thousand times more beautiful than the paintings, then I will really go and see it when I have the chance... What do you think, Your Majesty?" "
This job was directed at Zai Chun. At that time, Emperor Tongzhi felt bitter in his heart. If Queen Victoria, a giant Buddha, arrived in the Qing Dynasty, how would he receive it?
If the level is low, the British will not do it. If the level is high, the Qing Dynasty's painting will be exposed, and the lies about the coming of all nations to the DPRK will not be fabricated.
But at this moment, everyone was looking at Zai Chun. Emperor Tongzhi could not give up at this moment. He could only bite the bullet and said with a smile, "Of course the Qing Dynasty welcomes Her Majesty the Queen. If there is a chance, I will entertain the Queen and everyone at the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City." A distinguished guest…”
"Hahaha..." Queen Victoria smiled. She said nothing more and walked towards the table next to the Kunlun Iceberg.
The rhythm of the banquet was once again driven by the queen. The group followed closely and walked into their respective seats. The Chinese banquet officially began.
Today Xiao Letian was ready to hide his clumsiness. He did not use his excellent eloquence, but read a very mediocre welcome speech step by step. In the warm applause, Prince Edward expressed his gratitude on behalf of his mother, and then came the food feast that everyone was most looking forward to. .
Everyone's eyes were shining, because of Newx and the Duke had already blown away the reputation of oriental cuisine, especially everyone present knew that Xiao Letian has a mysterious family spice, the price is more than gold, and the taste is simply delicious. It is the feast of the gods.
For a time, the banquet hall was filled with oriental-style silk and bamboo music. The maids in Hanfu were carrying a fragrant breeze through the banquet, and each piece of exquisite food was served on the table.
The appetizers are basically cold dishes. The beautiful dragon and phoenix are of course the first main course. A dragon and a phoenix are flying and circling in a huge disk with a diameter of two feet. The heavy disk requires two maids to carry it together. Wait until it can be served.
"Wow! So beautiful...Is this for eating? Or is it placed on the table for viewing?"
The second dish was Xiao Letian’s specially ordered Biianfang roast duck. Each golden roast duck was pushed out from the mobile dining table, and a master with superb knife skills sliced the duck into pieces as quickly as possible. Plate of roses.
The golden and buttery duck slices are placed next to green cucumber strips, shredded green onions and other embellishments, just like the shape of green leaves.
