Chapter 1188: A Difficult Choice
Princess Belle has become a graceful English rose, the noble and beautiful face under the wide-brimmed hat has a delicate silhouette that is rare for Western beauties, and the long curly golden hair hangs down to the girdle of the snow-white dress, what the princess looks like in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, she is what she looks like.
Ye Fan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Princess Belle's eyes, and the elegant princess woke up from the shock, blinking her blue eyes and staring at Ye Fan's face carefully.
"Chick, look stupid?"
"You...... Why haven't you grown old?" Princess Belle murmured as she looked up at him, her heart leaping rapidly in a straight line.
Ye Fan touched his face and said with a smile: "This is what makes me different, youth is capital, if I become an old man, don't you want to call me uncle?"
"Nasty, you're only a few years older than me, huh. Two red clouds flew up her cheeks, and Princess Belle quickly turned and fled.
Ye Fan looked at her shy and flustered figure, shook his head and smiled: "Hehe, madam, come with me to see Her Majesty the Queen." ”
Princess Margaret showed a relaxed smile, if Princess Belle can marry him, it will be a supreme honor, compared to being the princess of the Swedish royal family, the future is broader and immeasurable, and at the same time, it is also in line with her daughter's wishes, of course, it is too late to be happy as a mother.
Queen Elizabeth, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses, was sitting in the palace and snoozing with a Persian cat, when she heard a noisy and cheerful footsteps echoing in the palace, the queen opened her eyelids leisurely, and a pampering and kind smile appeared on her face.
She knew that this must be Princess Belle's arrival, and in the entire Buckingham Palace, only she was the most naughty and did not pay attention to rules and etiquette.
"What is so happy?" said the queen, holding her reading glasses, and laughter was heard out of the palace.
"Grandmother! he's coming, he's back......" Princess Belle, who ran all the way into the palace with the corner of her skirt, almost ran off her high heels in excitement.
The expression on Queen Elizabeth's face suddenly became surprised and incredulous, and the same name kept coming back to her mind over and over again.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" came the relaxed greeting of a man in the corridor of the palace, and the Persian cat in the Queen's arms swooped out and fled to the windowsill.
Queen Elizabeth was so shocked that she put her hands on the armrests of her chair and tried to stand up.
Princess Belle rushed over a few steps, picked up her grandmother, and helped her out of her seat.
Ye Fan and Princess Margaret appeared in front of their ancestors and grandchildren, and when they saw Ye Fan's glance, the glasses on the bridge of the elderly Queen Elizabeth's nose slipped quietly, and her fingers trembled slightly. In her seventy years of reign, she has rarely been thrilled by anything, but at this time she can't control her emotions.
Her deep gaze fell on Ye Fan's face, like a grandmother looking at her grandchildren returning from afar, and a little starlight flashed in the depths of her eyes.
"It's really you...... I'm fine, I've finally waited for this day......" Queen Elizabeth staggered forward, stretched out a pair of old hands, and took his palms.
Ye Fan smiled: "Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to see you again." ”
"I'm glad you can tell me where you've been?" asked the queen cautiously, lest the question be too abrupt.
"Oh, because of some special factors, I was stuck in Egypt by something, and I was able to get out just a few days ago. Ye Fan couldn't explain to her in too much detail, if she talked about it in detail, it wouldn't be enough time for a whole day.
This vague answer was approved by the queen, who nodded and said, "I see, there was an accident at that dinner, I thought I would never see you again, I thought it must be the Lord calling you, I didn't expect to see you again in my lifetime." ”
"yes, I didn't expect that either. Your Majesty, I have come here for two things, and I hope to get your approval and help. Ye Fan is ready to cut to the chase, if he can get support from Queen Elizabeth, it will save a lot of trouble, Britain's choice and side in international affairs has always been a vane for other countries to follow.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Princess Belle immediately pricked up her ears, and a pair of eyes fell on Ye Fan with affection, with a look of shame and joy, expecting him to propose to the queen her long-awaited marriage proposal.
"Say, I'll do my best to accommodate your requests as long as I can. Elizabeth smiled and encouraged, how could she not know what the most favored Princess Belle was thinking at the moment, but a slap did not make a sound, if Ye Fan also wished, the queen would definitely raise her hands in favor of this marriage.
Ye Fan nodded and said the first request: "I hope that the queen can propose to the prime minister of your country that in the future international affairs, give up the alliance front with the White House and switch to the Chinese Eastern camp." ”
The queen was stunned and stunned when she heard this, she never expected him to make such a request, if she did what he asked, Britain would completely break with the United States, and the changes in international relations caused by this would be immeasurable......
Elizabeth let go of Princess Belle's hand, and with her scepter, she slowly walked back and forth in the palace.
She was thinking, she was hesitating, she knew that her next decision would have a profound impact on Britain, and even change the world pattern and promote the development of human history to the next turning point!
This is more difficult to choose than when Britain declared war on a country, and Elizabeth feared that she would become a historical sinner and choose the wrong side, and the worst outcome could plunge the world into the quagmire of World War III, regress civilization, and finally destroy humanity in nuclear war......
But she thought about the other side of the matter, the rise of China is an indisputable fact, can the United States be relied on as the world's police? Even if it can, how long can it last?
Suddenly, Elizabeth thought of the destruction of the US military base in the Mediterranean, and if a world war really broke out, I am afraid that the Americans would not be able to get any benefits, and there would be very few countries that would support it at that time. Britain must make a choice in advance!
"I promise you. Queen Elizabeth said these words, the words were clear, and they weighed as much as a thousand catties, her decision was tantamount to announcing to Ye Fan that the future of Britain is handed over to you!
Ye Fan applauded with a relieved expression, and Princess Margaret and Princess Belle on the side glanced at each other and applauded.
The queen showed a kind smile, looked at Ye Fan and said, "Seriously, I made this decision, largely because of you. ”
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty, my second request is simple, you don't have to be embarrassed anymore. Ye Fan said with a smile.
Princess Belle was even more nervous at the moment, her hands clenched the corners of her skirt, her heart was pounding, Ye Fan felt her nervousness, turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "I want to ask MI6 to help me check someone." ”
"Huh!?" Princess Belle was immediately discouraged, he did not ask the queen to marry him, and he felt disappointed for a moment.
"Who?" said Elizabeth, who was a little surprised.
"It's a friend of mine, her name is Xiao Wushuang, she came to the UK alone more than ten years ago, and then she lost contact, if possible, I would like to meet her. ”
Ye Fan has not forgotten the woman who dared to love and hate, the woman who dared to moths to the fire, after so many years, where is she?
The queen nodded, and made a note of the matter, but her tone changed sharply, and her tone was a little more serious than before: "Sir, do you only have these two requests?"
Princess Belle stared at him deadly, her eyes seemed to threaten, as long as Ye Fan dared to say "yes", she immediately pounced on him and ate him!
"For now...... Belle, don't breathe fire in your eyes, listen to me first. Ye Fan held back a smile and patiently explained to them: "I am going to a particularly dangerous place, if I can return smoothly, I will come to Buckingham Palace again and propose to you." ”
"Really, you're not lying?" Belle was a little skeptical.
"Of course it's true, there are no lies in the saint's mouth, don't you believe it?" Ye Fan looked serious.
"How long are you going this time?" Belle decided that he would not marry, but also to find out his itinerary.
Ye Fan blurted out without thinking: "At least a few months, at most a year and a half." ”
"Okay, I'll wait a minute, you've already had two unpunctuality records, and hopefully you won't have a third. Belle clasped her arms in a nutshell.
"Twice unpunctual, do I have it?" Ye Fan thought carefully, plus this time, he had been to Buckingham Palace three times in total, where was there any punctuality?
"I said yes, grandmother, and you must punish him for staying for dinner!" Belle begged as she ran over and held Elizabeth's arm.
The queen smiled and nodded: "Then tell them to hurry up and get ready! ”
Before lunch arrived, I thought of dinner, and it seemed that I had to stay at Buckingham Palace today and cultivate a relationship with the future princess's wife.
In order to share Wen Wanting's worries and national plans, Ye Fan can only sacrifice himself in exchange for national interests, for him, this is also a difficult choice, let go of a large number of hungry wives at home, and go to the UK to waste time with this rude and willful princess......
