A smile appeared on Victoria's face, "Her Royal Highness, did the journey to the UK go well?" ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "Your country's navy is world-class, from India, it is very proper, I have seen a lot of scenery, the wind and waves of the Indian Ocean, the land of Egypt by the Red Sea, the beautiful Mediterranean, and finally came to the most beautiful London, which is completely different from China, it is a country where everything is in order for civilization and progress, "Cixi blows the conch," is a perfect civilized country, with all due respect, China cannot be compared with your country at all, I feel like it's all down to Her Majesty's wise rule. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Victoria was reserved and polite, the Queen Mother seemed to use the beautiful words on her, Victoria finally couldn't bear it, the smile on her face was much more natural, the people around her left with interest, the attendant sent two glasses of pale yellow champagne, the Queen Mother raised her glass and toasted to Victoria, "Cheers to Her Majesty's vitality, passion and enthusiasm, may Her Majesty be young forever." ”

"Thank you, and so do you." Queen Victoria took a sip of the wine in her glass. "Cheers to the friendship between our two countries, too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, holding her glass, "Personally, I like the British Empire very much, otherwise I would not have asked Mr. Hurd to teach me English, so that I can communicate with Her Majesty more conveniently." Hurd was shot helplessly, "I also hope to maintain good relations with your country, both personally and governmentally." That's why I came to the UK personally. ”

"The relationship between countries cannot be measured by emotion," Victoria said with a smile, "what good can the Queen Mother bring to the British Empire?" ”

It's really a country that forgets its righteousness, even the head of a country, even if you want something, you have to demonstrate it first, so it's too ugly to say. The Queen Mother secretly slandered, but she thought that when the First Opium War began, the queen, who had not long ascended the throne, personally went to the House of Commons to announce her speech. Asking the parliamentarians to agree to start a war for the sake of profit, so it was relieved, the queen mother thought a lot, in fact, it was a few seconds later, the queen mother said with a smile. "The queen is right, so I have prepared a lot of plans and plans to promote the exchanges between our two countries and promote friendship, in addition to continuing to buy warships......"

Victoria interrupted Cixi's next tirade, "Please negotiate with the Prime Minister about these specific matters, I don't even ask about specific matters now, please forgive me." Victoria turned and motioned for the protocol officer to open. I'm going to make a statement. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi squinted at Victoria, who turned away, her red lips hooked up a strange smile, and another accosting person came over on the side, the Empress Dowager hid her smile and discussed with the people on the side with a smile.

Queen Victoria delivered a speech to welcome the arrival of the Empress Dowager Cixi, everyone applauded and welcomed, the Empress Dowager crossed the crowd and beckoned to everyone, and then Queen Victoria let everyone have fun, but she walked out of the foyer. Ready to leave.

Before Prime Minister William sent Victoria out, Queen Victoria asked William, "What do you think of this Queen Mother from China?" ”

"She was so kind. Probably really wanted to take something from us. Her Majesty, I personally believe that it is possible for her, and the China behind her, to give a new impetus to our economy. ”

"It's inevitable, and it's not just you. Benjamin thinks the same way, the question is how. Queen Victoria got into the carriage, and there was already a valet Brown in it, and she was going to Cambridge to deal with a little matter, in short, she wanted to go to a clean place to live for a few days, although she said that she would not deal with specific government affairs, but Queen Victoria's control of the country was still tight, "Whether you want to go to war, or whether you don't need to war, you can grab more benefits, this needs to be carefully considered." ”

"But she can't be in London for too long, and she has the next arrangement."

"Let her go to Parliament," Victoria said, "and let her reach out to the MPs, and we'll see what they think." ”

"I have to remind Her Majesty that a lot of things in the Chinese are rich and tempting."

"I'll think about it, Count." The servant closed the carriage door, and William bowed to see the queen off, turning back to the banquet hall.

Prince Edward walked up to the Empress Dowager Cixi, "Sissi, I'm sorry, is it okay to call you that?" ”

"Of course," the Queen Mother turned around, her hands on her hips, her eyes widened, "Eddie, why does your mother seem to like me very much?" ”

"She's always been like this, and she's been a little nicer to our children," said Edward, "and I hope you don't get embarrassed." ”

"It's okay," the Empress Dowager Cixi waved her hand and picked up the champagne again, "maybe she's jealous of my beauty." Hahaha. Eddie, don't mind, just kidding. ”

The band's music became elegant, soft and low, signaling the beginning of the ball, and Edward invited the Queen Mother to do the first dance, "I wonder if you will waltz?" ”

"Of course," said the Queen Mother, who drew close to Edward and put her left hand on the shoulder of the future King of England, "I have never danced with another man. ”

The two people slid onto the dance floor, and the eyes of the entire banquet hall were focused on the two people, Edward grabbed the Queen Mother, and the two danced elegantly, the dance steps were so in sync, turning around and lowering his waist and raising his legs, Edward in a blue dress and a red dress turned into a gurgling stream, which moistened into the hearts of everyone present.

After the dance, Edward grabbed the waist of the Queen Mother and gently lowered it, the Queen Mother's waist folded to the ground, Edward's eyes showed light, and the whole face slowly approached, the Queen Mother was shocked, struggled and jumped up all of a sudden, took Edward's hand, and made a thank you gift with his left foot, and the whole hall applauded.

The Queen Mother took Edward's hand and kissed him towards his white glove, "Great, Eddie! The room was full of laughter, everyone selected the dance partners one by one and entered the dance floor, the Queen Mother's actions have undoubtedly become the focus of today, a Queen Mother from the Far East, not only proficient in English, but also can dance, but also generous and enthusiastic, far from the local reserved ladies can be compared, and the knowledge is extremely broad, there are a lot of men and women gathered around them at once, and suddenly discussed with the countess the silk and Oriental popular styles, and suddenly lit a cigar in the hands of the military attaché, Talking and laughing with Erlang's legs, he used to ride horses and shoot arrows and captured a lot of prey, and then played darts with people, and never refused anyone's invitation to dance, and the whole audience flew up.

William had just jumped a slow three with the Queen Mother, panting and walking to Prince Edward's side, seeing Prince Edward who had been watching the Queen Mother who was talking and laughing loudly in the crowd, "This Queen Mother is really not an ordinary person, she has conquered almost half of the people here today." ”

Edward took a sip of his wine, "Yes, she's so charming, no one can ignore her presence. ”

William quipped Edward, "Your Royal Highness, are you interested in her?" You know, the ancient Orient is different from our customs, you look at those Chinese officials," William pointed to the high-minded Kui Qinghai and others who had been sitting in the corner, "you know, their rigidity and boring, Chinese women can't remarry after their husbands die, and they can't find lovers." ”

"The Prime Minister really likes to laugh," compared with Benjamin, Edward still likes the Prime Minister in front of him, and William is softer than Benjamin in his attitude towards the royal family, "She's a good friend, I think." ”

"I hope she's for Britain," William said as he looked at the Queen Mother, who was spitting out a continuous round smoke ring, and a group of men around her clapped excitedly, "and a good friend, a good ally." His Royal Highness the Prince knows that the Far East is not peaceful. ”

"You don't have to report these things to me," Edward said, turning his head, "Her Majesty is in charge of everything, I don't have to hear this." (To be continued.) )
