The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, this sentence is really true. Because time is the best litmus test, no matter what the color, in the face of time, everything is hidden.

Queen Elizabeth I, who is fifty-one years old, is very well maintained, with fair skin, painted palace makeup, and her eyebrows and eyes look very concise. His brownish-yellow hair was tied in a bun on the top of his head, his hairline was high, he wore a simple honeysuckle crown, his body was well-proportioned, and his face was very indifferent.

"If you've had enough, please go to the second floor to talk!" Elizabeth I's cold voice came again.

I looked back at the world-famous chaste queen with the same grim countenance. Just when everyone around me was worried that I would speak disrespectfully to the Queen, I suddenly smiled like a flower and saluted, "I am glad to do it!" Her Majesty! ”

When Elizabeth I heard this, she also bowed slightly and led the way to the stairs.

The second floor is much smaller than the first floor, as it is divided into many small rooms, unlike the first floor, which is a large hall.

Elizabeth I walked straight to the small place in front of the window, stood across from us, stretched out her hand to us and made a gesture of invitation, and then sat down gracefully.

I bowed slightly, and with Hua Mei, I walked to the seat opposite the queen and took a seat. After James and Jack Bravo were in place, this small tea party was all in place.

The female officer who followed Elizabeth I waved her hand lightly, and her own maid stepped forward and poured everyone a cup of black tea. Elizabeth I gracefully made a gesture of invitation, and Hua Mei and I naturally returned the salute politely, holding the teacup and sipping it gently.

"Your Excellency, Viscount." Elizabeth I's clear voice came again: "It's James, this kid is rude!" England is a country of gentlemen, not unruly barbarians, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

Hearing this, I really felt powerless. Originally, James dug his own hole, and I could handle it easily, and the few words just now were quite serious. But this queen was polite, and suddenly it seemed that I was a little unreasonable just now.

So I can only deal with a few words, what is where, polite, and my mouth is chaotic.

However, the wise queen did not embarrass me for too long, and her eyes softened more and more: "In order to express our sincerity, all the income of Mr. Sun in the future cooperation will be increased by 5% on the basis of the contract."

This is already quite interesting, come and don't be rude, I looked back at the nine ghosts Zhengxiao, and he immediately took two people and carried a box wrapped in brocade.

Elizabeth I asked with interest: "Let me guess what is in this?" ”

I made a gesture of please to her. Elizabeth smiled and nodded, and the female officer behind her immediately stepped forward and opened the cross-stitch clasp on the brocade cloth. The box inside opened on all sides, revealing a pair of beautiful blue and white porcelain vases inside!

"Oh! Oh, God! Elizabeth I let out a soft sigh, pressed the armrest of the chair with her right hand, and stood up. Carrying the corner of the skirt, he walked to the pair of blue and white porcelain vases, slowly bent down, and carefully observed the pair of handicrafts. The shallot-like fingers gently glided over the bottle, revealing an indescribable softness.

"This is a pair of blue and white porcelain amphorae from the Yongle period. At that time, the eunuchs of Sanbao went to the West seven times and brought back the green material 'Su Ma Liqing' needed to make porcelain. I stood up, leaned in slightly, and explained with a smile.

"The painted pattern on the bottle is a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix, which tells the allusion of all birds in the world worshipping the bird king phoenix, just like the scene when we came to worship the queen today." Hearing me say this, Elizabeth turned her head slightly to look at me, her eyes showed a hint of joy, and said softly: "Your Excellency the Viscount has won the award!" ”

I continued to tell about the situation of the blue and white porcelain vase: "This pair of porcelain vases has a fine glaze, a bright blue color, a novel and unique shape, and a beautiful and vivid decoration, which is a fine product of Jingdezhen porcelain. We bought it from the Ming Dynasty with a lot of money and worked hard to escort it to the West. Today's gift to Her Majesty the Queen can be regarded as finding the best home in the world for this pair of porcelain vases, the sword is given to the strong man, and the bonus is given to the lady. Very good! Very good! ”

Hearing my words, Elizabeth I's face smiled pleasantly. As a beauty controller, I was overjoyed to see this pair of blue and white porcelain amphorae, and I was fooled by me, and I was even more happy.

However, as the ruler of England, she is a person who is invisible, and coupled with the self-cultivation she has maintained all year round, it is impossible for her to be happy with one thing.

Elizabeth I straightened up, returned to her seat, nodded at me, and said, "I have received the wish of His Excellency the Viscount. Let's talk about what we all care about. ”

I went back to my seat, straightened my clothes, and said, "Very happy!"

The rest of the meeting was much easier. Our goal is the same, and that is to defeat the invincible Spaniards! Elizabeth is for the country, and I am for the love.

Regarding my status as a viscount of the Ming Dynasty, after I showed the gold seal, I naturally had no doubts. And I briefly talked about my combat experience over the years, which made Elizabeth's eyes light up, and the female officers behind her listened with fascination.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Tatars went all the way west, almost to the banks of the Rhine. Although Britain was isolated abroad and was not threatened, the ferocity and tyranny of the steppe people had long been heard of by those who had lived in the palace for a long time. And I have repeatedly broken the Tatar army, and even Elizabeth I said that she would find an opportunity to listen to me tell the story of the past.

Naturally, I like to hear it.

As for why I resolutely fought against the Spaniards, Elizabeth I, as the Queen of England, naturally had the resources and energy at her disposal to accurately grasp the relationship between me and the Spaniards to a certain extent. So I don't have to hide it. When Elizabeth I asked about this verse, I replied truthfully:

"Originally, when I came to the West, I came with the attitude of trade and searching for people. But in East Africa, I was attacked by the Spaniards, I mean - heavy blows! And my fiancée...... Well, another fiancée, who still hasn't come to her senses. I said lightly.

Elizabeth smiled, "You are sincere, young man! And what you say and encounter will also become the credit basis for your and my cooperation. ”

I nodded, "That's right." Our cooperation is based on mutual need. ”

Elizabeth smiled, "So what do you want?" Your Excellency the Young Viscount? ”

I glanced at George Bravo, who was sitting silently on the other side, then looked back at the queen and smiled, "I don't need much." ”

The queen made a gesture of please, and appeared as elegant as she could.

I held out three fingers and said in a gentle voice, "First of all, I need to improve my gear." I mean, I need a new type of warship under construction in the UK. Including the British Galen warship - of course, I'll pay for it. ”

The queen smiled: "This is naturally possible, but because the British Navy also needs to be equipped with this new type of warship, the new ships provided to you will be in place one after another." ”

I smiled shyly: "That's naturally no problem, but I'm afraid the price will have to be appropriately discounted." ”

The queen smiled, "You can talk to Sir George Bravo about this, I am sure he has a good impression of you, and should be happy to give you some more concessions." ”

George Bravo looked at me and smiled, nodding, "It's a pleasure for you to cooperate, Mr. Viscount." ”

When the queen saw me turn her head, she raised her hand and motioned to me to speak of the second condition.

I smiled and said, "There is an old saying in my hometown, it is not right to say what is wrong, I am here to fight the Spaniards, in what name?" ”

Elizabeth I looked at me for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Sun, would you like to go to the new continent for me?" ”

Hua Mei said: "Of course." Your Majesty, even if my fiancé is unable to go for various reasons, I can do what needs to be done for you. ”

Elizabeth I glanced at Hua Mei with approval in her eyes: "Beautiful and touching Miss Li, you are very lucky." Born into the royal family, especially as a decision-maker, I had to marry the state in order to keep my country from going astray. And you don't have this concern, cherish your life! ”

Hua Mei nodded and glanced at me. I smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

The shrewd queen seemed to see something, and her eyebrows twitched slightly, before she looked at me and said: "Just this year, Richard Harkluth, the eminent geographer of our country, published an academic paper entitled "On the Discovery of the West", in which he believed that the colonies, even if they could not find gold and silver directly, would certainly bring wealth to England, and that the new market would greatly stimulate the development of British industry; There will be more employment opportunities in the UK, and many homeless people will become busy artisans, solving a major social problem of unemployment in the UK. ”

As she spoke, Elizabeth I shrugged her shoulders gracefully and said, "And I believe in that. Although I don't like the Spaniards' rampage, I will not refuse to expand my strength. What do you think? ”

I smiled and said, "No one will say no." So you need me to take care of a colony for you? ”

Elizabeth I smiled: "The word caregiver is used very accurately - it is true that we have some friction with the Spaniards in this land of Florida, and if you can help me solve this problem, I would not mind conferring on you the honor of Earl of the British Royal Court!" ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "So that's the name, right?" ”

The queen stood up and smiled: "Yes after coming back, as for now, in order for the next things to go smoothly, I, Elizabeth Tudor, Queen of England and Ireland, confer the title of Viscount of Sun Qilan on the royal family." May God bless you! My Jazz. ”

I also stood up, bowed slightly to Elizabeth I, and replied, "I will be glad to serve!" Her Majesty, but ......"

The queen sat back in her seat and asked, "What else do you need?" Funds? ”

I shook my head and sat down with a smile, and replied, "I need a guide, or assistant, who must be from a military background, Your Majesty." ”

Elizabeth I glanced at the female officer beside her and smiled, "You are truly a unique person, Viscount. Captain who goes to sea with me, you are the first one who does not need funds and does not talk about money. ”

I picked the corners of my mouth, imitating her tone just now, and said, "Actually, I am also preparing a book called "On the Wisdom of the East". Maybe what I do can't directly create gold and silver, but it will definitely bring me long-term benefits in the future, and will also provide more convenience and conditions for my future actions. My starting point will be higher, and many things that I would never have thought of before will become reality, and these are things that gold and silver cannot buy. ”

I said it very calmly, and coupled with the aria-like flowery tone, Elizabeth I covered her mouth and laughed, and even the female officer who had been serious behind her smiled.

Elizabeth I smiled for a moment, still with a smile on her face, and said: "I hope you have a beginning and an end, my Viscount!" ”

I shook my head and said, "That's not guaranteed, Your Majesty. After all, you're a rich country, and I'm just an honorary viscount wandering around. There are some big things that require your generosity. ”

The queen laughed again, and the female officer behind her spoke: "Her Majesty laughs more in a day than usual in a month today, and you will not work hard in vain on this basis." ”

Elizabeth glanced back at her, smiled, and introduced to me, "My niece, Isabel. ”

I sat down in my chair and bowed to her slightly, and Isabel saluted me with the corner of her skirt.

Elizabeth I finally asked: "Then Mr. Viscount, I would like to know, what is your third condition?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "I need a doctor, the best surgeon, especially for the skull...... Well, yes, treatment for my fiancée. I need her to come to her senses! Please! ”

At this point, my eyes were full of earnestness. Elizabeth glanced at Hua Mei, whose face was slightly complicated, and smiled: "For the sake of official positions and equipment, you are just trading mentality. And for the sake of the lover, they began to pray. So I'll be sure to meet your request, young man. Just ......"

I looked up at her, and Elizabeth I raised her chin slightly and said, "Think clearly about what you want, young man." If you want too much, you will often get nothing. ”

I glanced at Hua Mei and sighed slightly......
