C2203 Meet Sissy Again (1/2)

The gathering officially started as the Gold Carriage steadily stopped at the main entrance. The car door was aimed at the red carpet on the ground, and Xiao Letian, the owner of the house, came out from inside the gate with his subordinates' clothes, and walked down the stairs in two or three steps.

All the guests in the hall put down their tea bowls and soda and stood up to greet the queen. The ladies could wait at their seats, and all the men were gathered on either side of the aisle, waiting for the queen to enter.

The welcome trumpet sounded happily, the hall was filled with thunderous applause, the door of the Gold Carriage opened, and Prince Edward jumped out first, right after him was Emperor Tongzhi.

The two of them did not enter the hall immediately. Instead, they turned around and waited respectfully for the Queen to alight.

Just as one of the Queen's foot came into contact with the red carpet, Edward immediately held onto her left arm while Tongzhi held onto her right hand.

The three of them walked onto the red carpet with a smile. Xiao Letian didn't really care much about what happened in front of him, but the other Chinese officials had strange expressions on their faces.

The people from Rangers were all itching, Xiang Ying was cursing in his heart! It's shameful, it's truly shameful. No matter what, you are the emperor of a dignified Great Qing, you actually flattered me to such an extent.

Even if the Queen Victoria was a statesman who was of the same generation as your grandfather, it was only right for you, as a junior, to show some respect.

To fight with Prince Edward for the honor of being filial to his children? Shame, shame!

Although he cursed inwardly, he could not say anything. This was an important diplomatic event. No one could afford to lose his composure, let alone the fact that so many reporters had already started taking photos. These were all historical documents.

Lin Zhen lowered his head and thought to himself, ”Are you stupid? If you flatter me at this kind of occasion, why don't you think about what cameras are used for? In the future, when these pictures return to the Great Qing, you brat, just wait for Eight Flag's group of old fools to go crazy!”

”Be quiet, are you crazy?” Cai Bixia stepped on the back of Lin Zhen's foot and twisted his body when he turned around. It was so painful that Lin Zhen almost yelled out.

As the Queen walked forward, the Gold Carriage also drove away from the main entrance, and the second member of the royal family, the Gold Carriage s started to park, followed by Edward's wife and son, Prussia's little grandson, and a few other high-class aristocrats. They were the most important members of the empire, so naturally, they had to enter the stage last.

Not only members of the royal family, Benjamin, Gladstone and the others also got off the horse carriage and gathered on the red carpet. This was the last quarter of the distinguished guests, as well as all the important figures of the British royal family and Cabinet.

Xiao Letian smiled and bowed towards the Queen, ”Thank you Your Majesty for coming personally to attend this simple and crude banquet. You know that we have just arrived in Europe and have not prepared for many things, so please forgive us for our rudeness …”

The Queen smiled and said, ”I have already heard from His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing and the The Duke of Newkes that the East has a unique delicacy that would cause the entire Europe to be stunned. For your banquet, I did not even drink afternoon tea!”

”Hahaha, Her Majesty the Queen is joking. Please … As long as you don't mind the poor taste of the dishes, it will be my honor! ”

After sending off the Queen, Xiao Letian reached out his hand and shook hands with the Crown Prince Edward, ”I hope that you can enjoy tonight!”
