Chapter 207: Arriving at the Destination
In the port of London, Elizabeth II came to the docks with cabinet members to welcome the arrival of the Myriad Flowers Envoy Delegation. Since the British royal family has cooperated with Wanhua Valley, basically every year the two sides will send personnel as a friendly visit. In previous years, the British royal family has sent people to visit the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, and this year, the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers sent an envoy delegation over.
Although the correspondence between the British royal family and the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers is not a state visit, their greeting specifications are set exactly according to the treatment of China's top leaders.
The vicinity of the dock where the Vista is anchored has been cleared by the Royal Guard. Due to the arrival of the queen, the merchants and crews who came and went on the dock gathered to watch. However, with the royal guards blocking them, they could only watch the queen's demeanor from a distance, but could not appreciate it more closely.
The ship is docked at the dock, with several boarding ladders running down from the lowest deck of the ship. Elizabeth II, with all the cabinet members who had come to greet her, came to the front and waited for the arrival of the messenger of ten thousand flowers.
The passengers on the Vision were consciously on the upper decks, and they did not rush to disembark because of the arrival of the cruise ship. They knew very well what the people of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers were doing when they came to London this time, and they would only be allowed to ship until the British royal family and the Ten Thousand Flowers Mission had all left.
This time, Ye Qi did not go with Su Ziyuan to visit the British royal family, but took a few women to mix among the passengers. The purpose of his visit was to find Fan Su's mother, and he could not participate in the visit.
From a distance, I watched Su Ziyuan get off the cruise ship with the disciples of Wanhua, and the two parties met together. It's just that it's too far away to hear what they're talking about, but it's also polite.
The battle under the cruise ship is like a visit by a national leader, except for the reporter who did not come, everything else should be there, which shows how much attention the British royal family attaches to Wanhua Valley.
After the initial meeting between the two parties, Elizabeth personally invited Su Ziyuan into a luxury car, and the two left in the same car. After the two leaders left, the representatives of both sides also left with the convoy to pick them up.
It can be said that the representatives of both sides did not stay at the pier for more than ten minutes, after all, they are not really state visits, and there is no need to waste time in such a public place. What's more, staying here for a long time is bound to attract annoying media reporters. You must know that Elizabeth II can be said to be a popular figure in England, and her appearance in the port of London will definitely alarm the people of the whole city.
So, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they will not stay at the pier too long.
After the representatives of both sides and the royal guards had all evacuated, the passengers on the cruise ship came down from it in groups.
Since leaving the port of Marseille and reading nearly ten nights at sea, Ye Qi and his daughters finally felt the feeling of being down-to-earth again with the flow of people.
"Well, do you come to London to go shopping first, or do you go to your mother?" Leaving the cruise, Ye Qi stretched a big waist, then turned to Fan Su and asked.
"Let's go to my mother's first, I haven't seen her in years, and I don't know how she's doing." Fan Su said with interest.
Ye Qi stretched out his hand and scratched her Xiao Qiong's nose, and said, "Don't worry, as far as I know from the information I got from Wanhua Valley, she is very good now." She has her own dedicated costume design team, and it is said that her team is also used by the British royal family. In other words, your mother is now a royal tailor. ”
"Really?" Fan Su still couldn't believe it, she only knew that her mother lived in London, but she didn't know what kind of occupation the other party was engaged in.
"Go, your mother, like the Queen of England, lives in Westminster, on the north bank of the River Thames."
Westminster, also known as Westminster, is the royal park of the British royal family, and is one of the 33 single administrative districts of London, two of which are called "municipalities".
At this time, in a villa not far from Hyde Park, Zhang Meiyu had just finished designing a royal dress, and was holding a cup of bitter coffee at this time, enjoying the scenery outside through the window.
I can't tell how old she is on that well-groomed face, because she has been mixed among the nobles for a long time, so there is also a faint atmosphere of royalty and nobility in her.
It's just that at this moment, she frowned deeply, as if she remembered the sad things in the past.
Zhang Meiyu has moved here since the family changed five years ago, and she is fortunate to meet Queen Elizabeth II. The other party appreciated his own clothing design concept, so he was hired as a court costume designer for the royal family.
She now has no worries about food and clothing, and it can be said that she is living a luxurious life. However, no matter how materially satisfying it is, it cannot fill the emptiness in the soul. She lost her husband at an early age, and worked hard to pull up the teenage Fan Su. But just five years ago, her daughter had stiff wings, and she had to go against her and marry that ordinary man.
In a fit of rage, she cut off contact with her daughter and left her homeland to come to this strange place alone.
Zhang Meiyu rubbed her forehead, which was a little swollen due to overwork, and sighed lightly: "I don't know if Su Su is doing well now, I think she also has her own children." "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, even if they turn their faces with their daughters on the surface, they can't let go of that piece of heart in their hearts.
"Hey, it's been five years in a blink of an eye, was I too ruthless to her at the beginning?" Zhang Meiyu looked up at the blue sky outside the window and recalled the past time. At that time, although it was not as wealthy as it is now, the family was able to sit happily together to eat, chat, and watch TV.
However, everything was far away from her.
Now she has won the favor of the British royal family and high society with her advanced clothing design concepts, but her heart has become more lonely. Whenever the traditional festival of China is approaching, I will miss my daughter who is far away. How she wished she could have the warm family she had again, but everything became a luxury.
Zhang Meiyu silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and gently placed the coffee cup on the table. She also had a royal gown that had not been designed, which Queen Elizabeth II was going to wear two days later when she hosted foreign guests, so it had to be done before then.
Moreover, she had heard that the guests who came to visit the royal family this time were extraordinary, and their status even surpassed that of heads of state, so the dress designed this time must also be unprecedented, so as to reflect the nobility of the royal family.
"I don't know what kind of sacredness Ms. Windsor is at this banquet, and she will attach so much importance to it." Since Wanhua Valley had never sent someone to visit it in the past few years, Zhang Meiyu had no idea that there was such a huge organization in the world.
However, even if she knew, she wouldn't think too much about it. In her opinion, as long as she does her part, she doesn't have the authority to take care of the rest.
Zhang Meiyu stretched, and just as she was about to go in to finish the rest of the work, the voice of the security guard outside the villa came from the video communicator at the door: "Ms. Zhang, there is a person who claims to be your daughter who wants to see you." ”
