Big Islander 2

Chapter 87 The Queen's Dog
"This is Princess Xia Mili, come and sit with me. Don't treat me like a queen, just treat me like an old grandmother—" Queen Elizabeth II has always been good at being close to the people.In fact, the queen doesn't have much power in Great Britain, it's basically a decoration.For example, Her Majesty the Queen is basically equivalent to a goodwill ambassador.Many problems that cannot be solved through political means can be solved as long as Her Majesty the Queen steps in. Therefore, Queen Elizabeth II is very popular among the British people and people in other European countries.

Put the little shrimp on her lap, kiss her little face, everything looks so kind, so natural, really like an old grandmother loving her granddaughter.

Although he clearly knew that this was Her Majesty's superb way of wooing her, but Xiao Xiami still felt extremely cordial.Some things, you can no longer tell whether it is intentional or unintentional, because it has been integrated into the bones of people.

"Grandma Queen, please accept our gift." Little Xiami didn't come here empty-handed. Although this was a private meeting, the little girl took it very seriously. Rise to the height where the two countries intersect.

Looking for Little Hand, Big Xing turned his legs and took a pink crystal star.This is a gift carefully selected by Xiao Xiami. It is too heavy, a bit of a loss, and too light. Although the queen has seen countless treasures and will not dislike them, Taohua Island can’t lower the price by itself, so she chose the gift with different meanings. Unusual crystal star.

The big star is really familiar, insisting on wearing a crystal star for the queen himself, which made the Duke next to him very nervous: the queen is old and not in good health, if she is scratched by the orangutan a few times and then frightened, then It's not good, it is estimated that Prince Charles, whose hair is all white, doesn't have to wait any longer.

However, his worries were obviously unnecessary. Even the queen lowered her head slightly and put on the necklace in cooperation with the big star. In the end, she shook hands with Comrade Vasily formally and thanked him.

His Excellency the Duke thought about it, and suddenly had an idea.He bowed slightly to Queen Elizabeth II: "Your Majesty, according to our Wang family's customary rules, we should return the gift. It's just that our Buckingham Palace has too many expensive gifts, and we can't choose a suitable gift to give in return."

Although the words were euphemistic, even Tang Jide, who is not very smart, could hear the implication: I hate our gifts for not being up to date.

So he nuzzled at the pheasant, and the pheasant was the most suitable for this kind of charge.But this guy is really unreliable, he just eats all kinds of nuts with his head down, his mouth is so busy that he has no time to spare.

At this time, Xiao Xiami smiled and took over the conversation: "Grandma Queen, this crystal star is very unusual—" Then he told about the origin and symbolic meaning, especially the relationship between the big star and the disabled children in the orphanage. Hearing the sincerity and true love between them, Her Majesty the Queen kept wiping the corners of her eyes with a silk scarf.

In the end, Xiao Xiami sent out his sincere wishes: "The stars in the sky are shining brightly, shining forever, and always peaceful. I think this is the best blessing for Grandma Queen, isn't it?"

The duke's face was very embarrassed, while Her Majesty's eyes were slightly closed, and she gently stroked the crystal star with her hand, with a relaxed and fascinated expression on her face, as if she had fallen asleep immersed in the beautiful story.

"When Peach Blossom Island was founded, there will be members of the royal family to congratulate on my behalf. Let William go. He is young and likes to make friends." The queen slowly opened her eyes, and then said a meaningful sentence.

But the duke's heart was full of monstrous waves: Prince William was born to Prince Charles and the famous Princess Diana, and he was the second heir.The Queen's arrangement is obviously to make good friends with Peach Blossom Island.

His Excellency the Duke felt a little baffled, as if a well-known old aristocrat condescended to befriend a beggar, it was extremely awkward.

But Her Majesty the Queen doesn't think so. Having been on the throne for more than 60 years, she is used to the vicissitudes of the world and the ups and downs of the situation. The big-headed man in shorts, and even the little girl sitting on her lap.

From the superficial feeling, they are ordinary people. When they came to Buckingham Palace, they didn't feel flattered or arrogant in the slightest. They felt as relaxed as returning home.

What kind of heart and tolerance is needed to be able to treat Buckingham Palace as a door to come and go at will.Even those visiting heads of state and members of European royal families are not so open-minded and natural.

This also proves from the negative side: they have nothing to ask for, and they have nothing to fear!
So, isn't such an ally worth making?If **** gave up this opportunity in front of her, she would not be able to run Great Britain for more than 60 years.

Therefore, the queen will always be the queen, and the prince will never be the king, because their knowledge is not only a little bit different by blood.

"Go to my art gallery and get a copy of Da Vinci's manuscript, and give it to my two children." The queen waved her hand casually. Compared with her, Tang Datou is indeed a A "kid".

His Excellency the Duke couldn't help but frown. He even thought that Her Majesty's spirit was a bit abnormal today.Because the paintings in the Queen's Art Museum are all treasures.Among them, Da Vinci's 258 manuscripts are the most precious and can be called priceless treasures.

And such a gift is actually going to be given to a country bumpkin who doesn't know what is good or bad, I hope he doesn't use it as a toilet paper!
"Old woman, you are really willing to pay for it." The pheasant was almost eaten, and finally started to interject. This guy called the old woman very rudely.That's not bad, if it weren't for the delicious taste of nuts, I would call it an old witch.

Tang Jide also shook his head: "We have received the Queen's wishes, and there is a proverb in the East that says that you will not be rewarded without merit."

An exchange of unequal value often represents a greater need, and Tang Jide also faintly felt something, so of course he couldn't accept it.

A quiet smile appeared on the queen's face: "You don't want the manuscript of "The Last Supper" that my old lady gave you, do you?"

This sentence is quite thought-provoking, Tang Jide smacked his lips, and then laughed along with him.Although the old lady on the opposite side seems to be understated, she is definitely considered a wily man. No matter how you look at it, Tang Jide is a child.

We chatted for a while, mainly because the Queen asked about the situation of Peach Blossom Island. She even showed a look of longing, and muttered to herself: "I don't know if I can set foot on that magical land in my lifetime—— "

After the duke brought the drawing, the queen proposed to go for a walk. After all, she was too old to sit for a long time.Xiao Xiami naturally took the Queen's arm, and together they left the living room and came to the lawn outside.The setting sun stretched their shadows very long, and the queen was wearing a shawl. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, her back showed a bit of aging and loneliness.Pheasant couldn't help muttering: "The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk—"

Tang Jide kicked it with his foot, and then saw five puppies running over, a bit like corgis, with short legs, running to the queen and starting to have fun.

Seeing Daxing approaching with half a banana in his hand, the dogs started barking.The queen called them by their names one by one to appease them. At this moment, she was not much different from those ordinary old ladies.

"If you bark again, I'll stew you and eat dog meat—" the pheasant threatened viciously, and was chased by two dogs, so it had to fly into the air.The pheasant was so angry that he kept yelling: "The dog fights the power!"

Perhaps because they thought this big evil bird was too annoying, two dogs refused to listen to the Queen's comfort, and continued to chase and yell at the pheasants in mid-air.

"They are like naughty children, they are very disobedient." The queen was not angry, but had a pampering look on her face.

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head: "Maybe it's because people are full of suspicion and treachery, that's why many people get close to animals and find truth, kindness and beauty from animals."

This kind of rhetoric made His Excellency the Duke very dissatisfied, but Her Majesty the Queen nodded to Tang Jide, seeming to approve of his fallacy.

Although the prince is not here, Xiao Xiami can handle a few pet dogs.With a whistle in her mouth, the bench dogs immediately lined up obediently and began to walk in a straight line on the grass.If you put on a military uniform, you can catch up with the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.

The queen couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, and softly called the dogs by their names a few times.But her beloved puppies didn't want to pay any attention to her master, and they still followed Xiao Xiami on the grass.

"I'm going to be jealous—" the queen looked at Tang Jide half-jokingly.

Tang Datou scratched the back of his head: "Maybe it's because Her Majesty the Queen is only their half master?"

The loving smile slowly froze on the Queen's face. She seemed to remember something sad, and murmured to herself: "Susan spent 15 years with me. I prepared recipes for it, bathed it and sheared it with my own hands. , and even helped it catch lice with my own hands, so in its eyes, I am also its only owner—”

As she spoke, Her Majesty the Queen burst into tears.Susan used to be a dog she had raised, and now these dogs are all descendants left by Susan, but now that they are too old, the queen can't take care of them herself.So although these dogs are very close to her on the surface, they don't have the unbreakable affection with Susan.

Inadvertently touched the Queen's sadness, Tang Jide also felt a little embarrassed, he really didn't mean it, he was just telling the truth.Because the prince said the same thing when he was on Hong Kong Island.Regarding the famous sayings of dog experts, Tang Jide will of course regard them as the truth.

"Mr. Tang, I have one thing I want to ask of you. You know, there are many members of the royal family, and some of them are very naughty and disobedient, so they may make mistakes, but the face of the royal family still needs me, an old woman." To defend. Tang Jide has known many strange people in the world, so I would like to ask you to help me, an old woman, find something." The queen was very good at making the best use of the situation, and she finally got to the point.

It's coming - Tang Jide's heart moved, he hehe asked twice: "I don't know what it is?"

"It should be some photos." The queen's cloudy eyeballs suddenly seemed to become extremely clear, staring closely at Tang Jide's small eyes——
