Stepping on the path paved with marble tiles, he walked past the fountain. The water vapor splashed on Zhou Jinru's body. He looked inside curiously. The pool was crystal clear and he could clearly see some coins falling inside. It seemed that someone was there. Make a wish here.
After walking a few more steps, the magnificent palace was in sharp contrast to the dilapidated state of 1080. There were already people waiting in front of the door, and the female official said respectfully: "Please come with me."
Zhou Jinru was taken to a spacious and bright bathing room. At the repeated request of the female officer, he was forced to take off his clothes and clean his body. To his surprise, three young and beautiful film women helped him rub his back and massage his body.
After struggling for a long time, Zhou Jinru was wearing a bathrobe. He felt that according to this plot, he would probably be favored by the queen...
The female officer looked at the man in front of her with satisfaction. He had black hair and eyes that were completely different from those of the Victorians. He was 185 centimeters tall, well-proportioned, muscular, and full of energy. He was not a beggar at all.
"Sir, I have only one request for you. No matter what happens, never disrespect the Queen."
"I know."
Finally, he was going to see Wei Na. Zhou Jinru felt excited in his heart. He changed into a formal suit and wore brand new leather boots. He followed the female officer through the front hall of the palace. He couldn't help but look back because the second floor behind him was The corridor was once broken through by him with brute force.
"What are you looking at?"
"No, it's nothing."
Zhou Jinru turned around, and in a daze, he seemed to see a shadow running past him.
what is that?
He looked over and saw a small figure dragging a long skirt, running and shouting: "Father, let's go horseback riding?"
"Okay, but only after afternoon tea."
"Um!"
The illusory figure walked past Zhou Jinru. He didn't see anything clearly. The other person had disappeared without a trace.
The female officer was still walking in front, as if everything was his imagination.
"This is the living area of the royal family. Please don't wander around. Many rooms are not allowed for outsiders to enter."
"I see."
boom!
The sound of violent slamming on the table came from a door that was ajar. Zhou Jinru saw the girl in a small skirt again. She was hiding behind the door and peeking inside secretly.
"Assholes! Don't these bastards know that our country is in trouble?! They actually want more, freer market trade, flexible adjustment of foreign business taxes, and want me to exempt the rich from taxes?! Impossible!
Can you believe it? We have won almost everything we can on the battlefield, but only a pitiful half of what can actually flow into the national treasury. These hateful borers, they lie on the country like leeches and suck blood, and they are never satisfied. Always greedy! "
Another deep voice sounded: "Your Majesty, this is the price Victoria has to pay for its expansion over the years. A long time ago, a sage said that once the law cannot restrict these people, they will grow with greed. Until it consumes the country itself.”
"Who's at the door?!"
The door opened, and a tall figure enveloped the little girl, but his voice softened: "Didn't I scare you?"
The little girl shook her head.
"Okay, don't worry about these troubles, let's go horse riding?"
"Well, dad is the best!"
The shadow disappeared again. Zhou Jinru stood in front of the closed door and raised his head. The door number read "Study".
The female officer who was walking in front noticed that he had not followed, so she turned back and said seriously: "This is His Majesty's study. No outsiders are allowed to enter without special permission. Please stop running around, okay?"
"I understand, thanks for reminding me."
At the end of the corridor, there is an oil painting of sunrise hanging on the wall. Zhou Jinru remembers that there used to be a photo of Wei Na when she was three years old...
The female officer opened the door, and Zhou Jinru's eyes followed. There was a long wooden table in the main hall. The tabletop was covered with a lace-edged red tablecloth. Several decorations were placed in the middle. On the top of the long table, Her Majesty the Queen held it with one hand. He held his chin and flipped the pages of the book casually with his other hand.
"Your Majesty, I have brought the person you are looking for."
The lion raised his head, his sharp eyes like a knife fell on Zhou Jinru's face, and said calmly: "He stays, you go out."
"yes."
The female officer stepped back respectfully and left.
There were only two of them left in the main hall, and no one spoke.
The lion looked at the man's face carefully, his brows slowly wrinkled, and he spoke first: "Have we met?"
"I said I've seen it before, do you believe it?"
"I've met a lot of people, and it's inevitable that I'll forget a few. Just sit somewhere and tell me a story."
This is Wei Na, and her tone is the same, but why don’t you recognize him?
Zhou Jinru told a story. At the end, the queen yawned: "It's boring, let's tell another one."
After the second story was told, the bell in the middle of the long table rang, indicating that noon was here.
"Do you have any questions about dining with me?"
"No."
"very good."
Even Queen Victoria was subject to regional restrictions in her diet. It can be seen that she did not like potatoes, grilled fish, or apple pie at all.
After noon, the queen prepared to take a nap and ordered the female officials to take Zhou Jinru away.
When they reached the door, they were called back.
"Forget it, don't leave. When I wake up, go horse riding with me."
"yes."
It seems that Wei Na really doesn't know him.
The lion was lying on the bed, and Zhou Jinru was not far away. She turned over, opened her eyes, and looked at the man carefully.
It was an indescribable feeling, as if I had seen it somewhere, it was very familiar, but I just couldn't remember it. I wanted him to go, but I also wanted him to stay.
The inner conflict made the queen sleepless.
With her bare feet on the soft blanket, she jumped up to Zhou Jinru and stretched out her hands to knead his face.
"You give me a very strange feeling. There must be a secret. Tell me what you know. Maybe I can remember it."
Zhou Jinru was silent for two seconds and said slowly: "I heard that your Majesty, you have been looking for someone."
"It does happen. I'm waiting for someone. I don't know who it is. Anyway, I'm just waiting."
"Maybe I'm the one you're waiting for."
"you?"
The lion laughed loudly and said: "How is that possible? You must have drunk too much. Don't talk nonsense, or I will cut off your tongue!"
She waved her hand carelessly: "Okay, don't think about these illusory things. Let's go horse riding. Maybe this will make us feel better."
The rest area of the palace racecourse is quite grand. In the stables alone there are eight high-quality horses, each of which is extraordinary in appearance.
"Can you ride a horse?"
Zhou Jinru nodded: "I have learned a little bit."
"Well," the queen raised her white chin, "pick a horse and be sure not to be thrown off."
