343. At the end of the song, everyone is scattered
Affectionate and hateful since ancient times, good dreams are the easiest to wake up.
It's hard to get rid of the flowers, and the poor flying flakes are too floating.
The incense nest is first married to the Mandarin Duck Society, and the new sentence is like a jade screen.
It's not for parting, and the tears are full of old clothes.
Reading these few lines of poetry, my heart is empty beyond words. I knew that this was the result, so I might as well stay in North America and not come back, at least I still had a thought in my heart.
But what's the point of thinking about it now? The Yiren didn't know where to go, the more they thought about it, the more sad they became, the more sad they became, and they wanted to cry, but they couldn't find enough reasons to do so, so they could only sit silently.
Naturally, the people close to me knew that I was in a bad mood, so they didn't come over to make more fuss, so I sat quietly in the room, watching the sky gradually darken, and in the blink of an eye, it was dusk.
"Dangdang"! There was a gentle knock at the door, and then Hua Mei's voice sounded outside the door: "Qilan, there is still the queen's drinking party in the evening, let's clean up early after resting!"
For some reason, listening to her voice, I felt a wave of anger for no reason! If it wasn't for saving you, how could the kite get hurt? How did you get to where you are today?
But...... But then again, is this really her fault? At the end of the day, she's innocent, and it's the Spaniards who damn it! If she had to be blamed, it would be just anger.
Thinking of this, I tried my best to calm down, sat up and whispered, "The door is unlocked."
Immediately, I heard the soft sound of the door lock, and then I smelled a familiar scent.
It was Hua Mei who came in, she had already freshened up, wearing a bright color dress of red and white, and was standing at the door looking at me prettyly, with red lips and white teeth, and bright eyes.
I looked at her and couldn't help but sigh secretly, if life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan.
But now that I think about it, it seems that none of this will help, so let's get down to business first.
So I stood up and smiled at Hua Mei, for some reason, I suddenly felt a sense of guilt in my heart, this feeling made my forehead break out in cold sweat, and suddenly I felt uncomfortable again.
Hua Mei stood up when she saw me smiling, and her heart was faintly happy. But when he saw me standing on the spot with a strange face, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
Suppressing my emotions again, I said lightly: "Is the time up?" Allow me to change my clothes. ”
Hua Mei's expression couldn't help but froze when she heard this, and she was stunned for a moment before she forced a smile: "Well, then I'll wait for you in the living room." After saying that, he turned his head and hurried away.
I didn't think too much about it, so I immediately freshened up and changed into a brand new dress. The dress was a standard English earl's dress, which was extremely cumbersome, and I was quite impatient in wearing it, and I ripped off a few pendants until the dress became a "tabula rasa" and I felt a little happy.
When I came out and walked into the living room, I had agreed that the people who would accompany me were already in place. The Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao glanced at me, and then at Hua Mei, who was angry and angry, and stopped talking, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The wheels of the carriage pressed against the stone pavement, which was not very smooth, and made a crunchy sound of "grandeland", and there was a slight jolt, and my mood was far less calm than on my face.
When I am absent-minded, people often do not feel the passage of time, and I don't know how long it took, when the carriage was ready and the sound of the horses' hooves gradually eased, I realized in a daze that the destination had arrived.
The Palace of Westminster, dressed up at night, looks magnificent, and the entrance is already full of traffic. I looked at the rows of aristocratic carriages, and suddenly my mind was racing, and I said to the nine ghosts and filial piety:
"Irises and bluegrass! Just use irises and bluegrass! ”
When the Nine Ghosts were confused, I came back to my senses and said with a smile: "I'm talking about the family emblem!" Have you forgotten? The housekeeper asked several times to report it to the British royal family. ”
The nine ghosts immediately understood, answered yes, and then glanced at Hua Mei, who had an unkind expression, and didn't say much, and took the initiative to step forward to meet the guards at the door.
I don't care so much, but when I saw the different family crests on those noble carriages, I suddenly remembered that the queen had asked me last time to design a family crest as soon as possible.
Of course, as long as the subject matter is provided, the specific design is a master of article learning, and I don't need to do it myself.
I was thinking about this kite all the way, I don't know where she is now, what she is doing, and I can't help but think of the family emblem. So we chose one word from each of our names and used irises and orchids.
However, the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao finally opened his mouth to persuade: "Sir, it is recommended to take a long-term view of this matter, I heard that once this family emblem is confirmed, it cannot be changed!"
I naturally understand that what kind of family emblem he is worried about, but he is afraid that Huamei next to him will have a conflict with me!
So I smiled softly and didn't say anything more. Obviously, Hua Mei also breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over and generously mixed with the crook of my arm, signaling that I could go in.
Today's reception was nominally held for me, so I naturally received the highest level of courtesy when I arrived. In the midst of the music, Jack Bravo, who was the host's guest, came up to me laughing and said, "You're here!" It's been a long time since the queen arrived! ”
I wondered, "Is it time now?"
Jack Bravo made an exaggerated expression at me and said, "Don't you know I'm humorous?" Old-fashioned Orientals! ”
As he spoke, he laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go!" Everyone is waiting for you, a celebrity who has made great achievements! ”
I shook my head helplessly and walked in with him with a wry smile. Although Hua Mei looked a little unhappy in the car, when she arrived at the scene, she immediately recovered her good condition, this is the performance of the tutor.
When I entered the main hall, the singer at the door sang loudly: "His Excellency Sun Qilan, Count of Percival, has arrived!"
There was a sudden burst of soft shouts in the hall, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to me, and then there was warm applause.
This kind of meeting gift is ten thousand times better than the cynicism when I attended the drinking party for the first time. In this West, which advocates individual struggle, strength is the last word.
I looked up and saw Elizabeth I sitting on the terrace on the second floor, smiling and waving to me.
I immediately saluted her from a distance, and then I saw Isabella coming to her. Jack Bravo immediately made an excuse to leave, and the scene was left with Hua Mei, Isabella and me.
Isabella walked over and walked to me in the court, then smiled and said to Hua Mei: "Miss Li, your dress is so chic!"
Hua Mei immediately smiled: "Where! You are truly graceful and luxurious! ”
Then, the two politely exchanged two more sentences on the incense on their bodies, and Isabella smiled and said, "Your Excellency, the Queen, please go to the terrace, she wants to announce your deeds to everyone!"
I nodded, and was about to walk forward, but Isabella smiled and said, "Of course, the queen only invited you personally. After all, the honor of being on the royal terrace is yours alone! ”
I was about to say that Hua Mei is my female companion today, but Isabella preemptively said: "Of course, if it is your wife, you should be able to accompany you, but as far as I know, this Miss Li should not be, and you are not married yet."
After speaking, she looked at Hua Mei with a little apology on her face, as if she had no choice.
The implication is to refuse Hua Mei to go with me. I looked up slightly, and saw that there was only the queen on the terrace, and no one else was qualified to go up, so I guess what Isabella said was true.
It's just that this is extremely impolite according to Eastern etiquette. I even felt Hua Mei's hand in the crook of my arm trembling slightly. As soon as my heart softened, I immediately spoke: "I'm sorry! Hua Mei and I have a marriage contract, and she also participated in the whole process of this operation, with outstanding achievements, and should be on stage at the same time as me. ”
Isabella's face froze, and she was about to speak, when she heard Elizabeth I, who was not far away on the terrace on the second floor, laughing: "Count Percival, please come to me quickly!" Can the meeting with the lady be delayed a little? ”
It's the queen urging me. I looked at Isabella, and she smiled reluctantly and said, "In that case, let's make an exception and invite the two of you on stage!"
Who knew that Hua Mei suddenly let go of my arm and said with a smile: "Go up quickly!" Qilan, I'm watching you here! ”
She smiled naturally and generously, but I faintly felt that it was inappropriate, and gently took her hand and said, "Let's go!" Let's go up together! ”
Hua Mei shook her head and smiled: "No need! Rules are rules! Go with peace of mind! I'm here for you! ”
I was about to speak again, but Hua Mei gently pushed my hand away and motioned for me to go quickly with her eyes.
Under her repeated urging, we withdrew our arms, gave Hua Mei a look to wait for me, and then went with Isabella.
After taking the stage, Elizabeth I naturally welcomed with a smile. She then stood up and walked to the terrace to begin her speech.
Naturally, the content was all about my exploits, how I broke through the Spanish siege and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of Spain, and the people below naturally applauded.
But I was a little absent-minded, thinking about the distant kite, and looking at Hua Mei, who was not far below, seemed to be smiling, but couldn't see her face clearly, and I always felt a little unreal.
When Elizabeth I had finished, it seemed that I had spoken a few more words, and I forgot everything I had said, except that the people below sometimes burst into laughter, followed by warm applause.
Then came the reception, and after a few drinks with Elizabeth I, I returned to the audience and found Hua Mei. People around me started clinking glasses with me, and I started drinking one cup after another, I don't know how much.
In addition, it is wine that is sad, so drink one glass like this, and usually drink three glasses on top. In the end, even the restaurant nicknamed "just one glass" by me was drunk.
On the way back, I was half-asleep and seemed to be calling the name of the kite repeatedly. I'm really worried about her, now she can't move at all, she is floating outside, it's better not to be in danger!
When I got home, I didn't know how I vomited in the dark, I couldn't figure out whether I was crying or laughing, and I guess it was not until the middle of the night that I tossed and fell asleep, and I was drunk and messy.
Wait until you wake up the next morning, no, it should be noon, it's almost twelve o'clock. The waiter heard the call and pushed the door in, helping me, who was still whirling around, to wash and change my clothes and pack up.
Then I covered my forehead and went to the dining room, where the Nine Ghosts were waiting. I smiled wryly at him, shook my head, and was about to speak, but felt as if this guy had something to say.
So I immediately cast an inquiring gaze, and the nine ghosts hesitated, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to me hesitantly.
Faith again? What kind of letter?
I glanced at the Nine Ghosts Masataka suspiciously, and he immediately spread out his hand, indicating that there was nothing he could do. I endured a headache and opened the letter, but it turned out to be Hua Mei, who said that she missed her father far away and wanted to go back to the Ming Dynasty.
I raised my head, and the Nine Ghosts looked at me and sighed, "Miss Li has already left this morning, and she only brought two medium-sized boats."
Seeing that my face turned dark, he continued: "Senior Yang Xien naturally went with her. I've also sent elite players to protect me, so it should be okay in terms of safety. But sir......"
He stopped talking, and I looked up visibly slowly, and said through my nose, "Huh?"
Nine Ghost Zhengxiao said in a low voice: "Are you really not going to chase Miss Li back?" She was clearly angry and left. ”
I was stunned for a minute before I sighed, "No need. Whoever forsakes me will not remain in the day of yesterday; Those who disturb my heart will have many troubles today. Today, she and I can't go back to the past, so we are separated like this, calm and calm......"
I let out a long sigh and said, "It's acceptable!"
The cold wind blew outside the window, and it was actually sleet. Winter is really deep......
