Buckingham Palace

The Queen's Bedchamber.

The old queen is putting on her coat with the help of her maids.

Next to her, Margarita was already fully dressed, waiting excitedly and anxiously, as if she was about to meet some big event.

The queen sighed helplessly,

"Isn't it just watching a play? Why are you so nervous? ”

Margarita can't say either,

Taking the queen to watch Professor Lu's drama gave her a feeling of bringing people to meet her parents.

She whispered: "Grandmother, if you don't watch it today, you won't have such a good opportunity in the future." ”

The queen is curious,

"Not after today?"

Margarita shook her head,

"It's not that I won't act. It's just that after today, the Lyceum Theater will be expanded, resulting in the next five to ten months, only the central area can welcome guests, and the box on the second floor will not be open to the public. That's why I said that. ”

The modern Lyceum Theatre has 2,100 seats, but this is the scale that has been rebuilt many times.

Moreover, these alterations all took place after World War II.

Lu Shi's "Yes! The Prime Minister's "Prime Minister" was born, which brought this process forward.

The queen pointed Margarita with her finger,

"You say you, how do you do things so unruly? I knew that it was going to be expanded, so I didn't book tickets early, so I had to delay it until the last day. What if I have any work today......"

Margarita sticks out her tongue cutely,

"I don't want to use my privileges~"

The queen laughed: "Then you didn't use your privileges today?" How did I hear that we can sit in the first box today? Moreover, it is still the same as "Yes! The Prime Minister's two writers, Mr. Lu and Mr. Xiao. ”

Margarita was speechless.

The queen continued: "Besides, don't you students of London politics and economics always be able to buy cheap tickets for internal supply? ”

Margarita was surprised: "Grandmother, do you know all about this?" ”

The queen chuckled and did not answer.

Margarita came from Hesse, and her father, the Archduke of Hesse, pleaded with the queen in a telegram to take more care of his daughter,

Since the queen made a promise, she naturally had to keep abreast of Margarita's movements, and even the situation of London's politics and economics, so she knew about the internal ticket.

The queen diverted the subject,

"Since you can buy an internal ticket, you should have already seen it, right?"

Margarita nodded,

"I've seen it, and it's been twice. But I always feel that I can't see enough, and I always look at the new. ”

The queen is curious,

"Is it really that powerful?"

Margarita nodded and said, "Of course! Professor Lu not only writes novels, editorials, and poems, but also writes scripts that are very wonderful, and the political satire is spicy, which I think is much better than those dramas of love and love. ”

The queen's expression is playful,

She always felt that Margarita was too emotional when talking about Lu Shi, which was completely different from her usual state.

Could it be ......

The corners of the Queen's mouth curled into an arc.

The Grand Duchy of Hesse, on the one hand, was friendly with Britain through marriage, and on the other hand, it was one of the many federal states in the German Empire, and was in a relatively neutral position.

Margarita, as a princess, is not the first heir, so naturally she doesn't have to worry so much.

Perhaps, can you really be free to love?

But with a Chinese......

When the queen thought of this, she felt that it was too absurd,

She shook her head and banished the thought from her mind.

Margarita was surprised, "Grandmother, what happened to you just now?" Shaking his head suddenly, is there something uncomfortable about it? ”

The queen said, "No, no, I am fine." ”

As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted to the door, "Flake, is the carriage ready?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Stephenson's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, it's ready." It's just that you really don't need to call more guards? Although the security around the Lyceum Theater is good, there are many audiences after all, and it is inevitable that there will be a mixture. I'm worried about ......"

The queen said majestically: "It doesn't matter, it's enough to have you." ”

She turned to Margarita and bowed.

Margarita immediately grabbed the queen's right arm and helped her out of the bedroom.

Seeing the queen come out, Stephenson led the Queen's Guard to salute collectively,

After that, Stephenson looked up and observed the Queen's condition.

Some time ago, the queen's health became worse and worse, and even made Stephenson feel that the queen might not be able to survive this winter.

But Margarita's day and night companionship has restored the queen's spirit and spirit.

And then there's that amazing Chinese kid -

Land time.

The queen often reads Lu Shi's works,

Whether it is a novel, an editorial, or a poem, every time the queen reads it, her face will be flushed, she can eat two more pieces of bread, and she will sleep more soundly.

Stephenson was of course happy to see the queen produce such a change,

This is also the reason why he was willing to compromise and agree that the queen would go to the Lyceum Theater without the guards.

Because "Yes! "Prime Minister" is Lu Shi's work, or a comedy,

The queen must have been delighted to see it.

Stephenson ordered: "Go!" ”

The Lyceum Theatre is in Westminster, not far from Buckingham Palace, so the carriage arrived at its destination quickly.

Margarita jumped down deftly,

She was about to cooperate with Stephenson to help the queen get out of the carriage, but she was suddenly stunned, and said softly, "Huh?" "Yes.

Stephenson was puzzled,

"Your Highness?"

Margarita shook her head and said, "Don't worry, look over there." ”

Stephenson followed the princess's line of sight,

I saw a dozen or so English gentlemen who had a place in Downing Street, Whitehall or the Palace of Westminster, chatting and smiling as they walked into the theatre door.

Churchill

Sir Wardhouse,

Sir Renato Erwin, First Sea Lord and Chief of Staff of the Navy,

Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, Prime Minister today,

……

The bigwigs of the Liberal and Conservative parties gathered.

Margarita told the queen about the situation, and the queen smiled meaningfully: "Today's Lyceum Theater is really a visitor from all over the world. That's it, let's wait, it's better not to collide with these 'official masters'. ”

There is always a very funny meaning to saying the word "official master" from the mouth of the queen.

Margarita chuckled,

"Listen to you."

……

The other side.

A group of "official masters" entered the box on the second floor.

Wardhouse smiled and said, "Everyone, this drama is very popular today, and it is hard to get a ticket. Winston and I got the box tickets after several layers of relationships, and you should cherish them. ”

He is the honorary vice-chancellor of the League of Universities of London, nominally moderating George Bernard Shaw, how could he not get a ticket?

Cecil snorted coldly,

"You've dragged on so much, and you haven't gotten a ticket for the first box."

They are now in the second box.

Wardhouse chuckled,

"Today's first box is reserved for the famous playwright Mr. Xiao, as well as "Yes! Mr. Lu, the writer of "The Prime Minister". We have power in our hands, of course, we can be tough, but we won't grab the position of literati, right? ”

This is undoubtedly a yin and yang weirdness,

Cecil didn't hear it.

At this time, Erwin, the First Sea Minister next to him, came over and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, it is said that "Yes! The Prime Minister" is sarcastic and spicy, and many lines ......"

Cecil waved his hand,

"Sir Elwin, please show your gentlemanly manners! The writer of this play is a Chinese, and no matter how ironic and funny it is, it is just a big rhetoric. We should be tolerant, how can we take those who have and those who do not have to heart? ”

Erwin scratched his head,

"But ......"

"Nothing good!"

Cecil interrupted firmly, then glanced contemptuously in the direction of Wardhouse, defiant.

outcome

Twenty minutes after the show began,

Cecil:

“

Fxxk！

Abominable Chinese!
