Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C2204 A high official in a hostile cabinet

The wind that carried the sweet mint smell assaulted his nose. Xiao Letian's mind suddenly woke up from his trance just now. In that moment, he felt that it had been more than ten minutes, but in reality, he was only daydreaming for four to five seconds.

Fang Guan, this ghost spirit was already prepared for this, when the Princess Cissie appeared, she immediately went to Xiao Letian's side, afraid that the leader would lose his cool for a moment, in the end, she did not guess wrong.

After a few seconds of losing his composure, he still couldn't help but laugh when he woke up, "Oh, so it's the famous beauty of the first royal family in Europe, it's really an honor to have such a person … I don't have any top-notch Blue Spiral Spring, it's the best green tea, I hope the Queen can like it! "

Princess Cissie's expression was extremely calm, she seemed to have already seen through the various appearances of the man, and did not care about Xiao Letian's degree of impoliteness at all.

"Thank you very much! "When I have time, I must ask the Chief of State about China's tea culture. I also hope to have a taste of the mysterious Oriental cuisine tonight …"

"Of course, of course!"

With just a few sentences, Princess Cissie and Princess Alexandra walked past Xiao Letian, leaving a fragrant wind behind.

Fang Guan gouged it out with his eyes, to the point where Xiao Letian felt embarrassed.

All of the older nobles in the royal family, as well as the Queen's own grandson and grandchildren, shook hands with Xiao Letian and exchanged greetings with him. Very quickly, the Cabinet which was led by Benjamin arrived in front of Xiao Letian.

Enemy Meet... But there was no jealousy, there was only distance, indifference and a lack of courtesy.

Xiao Letian smiled and said, "Welcome, Prime Minister, I hope the dishes tonight will satisfy you!"

Benjamin also smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your hospitality, and I hope that you can enjoy your stay in England …"

"Haha, you must be joking. I am not here to play around in Europe. I hope to be able to engage in diplomatic activities with many countries. In the end, I hope that we can achieve mutual benefit and win. What do you think?"

Benjamin smirked, "Diplomacy? With all due respect, please let Europe acknowledge your national identity first! In Asia, in the Great Qing, the only country we recognize is the Qing Dynasty, not some Chinese … "

"Please do not forget, even the island you are occupying is from the Ryukyu Country. I have never heard of any Chinese Empire, I am truly sorry, but I am afraid that I cannot give you equal negotiation …"

"However, as an outstanding scholar who spread Western learning, as well as a leader who represents the interests of the Chinese, we still respect your identity!" Later on, I will have the Ministry of Commerce negotiate with you … I believe being able to do business with the British Empire is already a very important breakthrough for your clan.

With that, Benjamin entered the room and touched his hat, then nodded towards Xiao Letian and walked over.

F * ck! At that time, the Chinese officials were cursing in their hearts: "You old bastard, you're really determined to fight against us Chinese?" Yepingtai and the others clenched their fists until the bones creaked.

However, Xiao Letian was already immune to this level of provocation. Benjamin's attitude was very clear, even if he was unwilling to admit the status of the Chinese, this kind of reaction was also within his expectations.

In any case, Bao is not on top of you, so I'll just treat your arrogance as your fart.

Following closely behind was Gladstone. This large nose man saw everything, only to see him looking at Xiao Letian with a serious face and some anger, as she lightly shook hands.

"Mr. Xiao, please understand the core interests of my British Empire. We will definitely not allow any Asian crown to fall into the hands of an ambitious family!"

"Long live only His Majesty, the Emperor of Tongzhi!" Without waiting for Xiao Letian's reply, he lifted his head and walked over with large strides.

Alright, these two people almost made all the other Chinese generals go crazy, but with Xiao Letian as the leader, the other leaders already had a taste of what was going on.

Although Benjamin looked polite on the surface, he was actually extremely hostile to Xiao Letian. Negotiating with him was not any less than scheming with a tiger. However, Gladstone was different.

Actually, Xiao Letian knew very well that Gladstone was trying to provide Xiao Letian with information in a disguised manner. The last sentence he said was to tell Xiao Letian exactly how he was going to apply the medicine in front of the Queen and the prince today.

In other words, Benjamin had positioned Xiao Letian as a person who was determined to overthrow the Great Qing and then challenge the British colonial interest.

He was using this breakthrough to find trouble with Xiao Letian!

They were all old foxes, so he had to listen to them. He had a smile on his face and a knife in his pocket. With a face like ice and frost, he might even be able to provide timely help.

After welcoming the final guest, Xiao Letian, the host, turned his head and walked into the hall. The banquet would start with his welcome speech, the cheerful Eastern Silk Bamboo Meet had already started.

Originally, the Queen should have been able to sit in her seat and wait for Xiao Letian's return. However, the moment the Head of the Guards and generals walked into the hall, she realised that the Queen was standing in the middle of the hall with a group of nobles and high ranking officials behind her.

The queen was looking at everything with disbelief. The ice sculpture of Mount Kunlun and the silk painting of the Chinese Divine State made the queen reluctant to look at the Great Wall for a long time.

If the Queen did not move, the other guests would not dare to move. Naturally, if the Queen did not sit, the other guests would not dare to sit either. The entire hall was filled with standing guests, over three hundred people.

Xiao Letian quickly walked to the front of the queen. Before he could say anything, the queen spoke first, "Oh my god! Is this China? China that existed in the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty? The China that Genghis Khan once ruled? "

"Although I have already imagined countless types of banquet's extravagant appearances, I never would have thought that you would hold a grand and majestic banquet that had nothing to do with extravagance …"

"Thank you! Thank you very much! "

The Queen had already spoken, and no one dared to go against her words, they immediately gave a thunderous applause to Xiao Letian.

Not only was the Queen subdued by the scene, the Princess Cissie was also stunned. This sentimental woman had found some resonance with her emotions from the unique charm of the Chinese paintings and the rhythm of the Chinese guqin music.

She could taste the compassion, the sadness, that came from the very bones of the Chinese humanities. Whether it was the paintings or the soothing music, she could taste the sadness in the spirit of the Chinese literati.

Princess Cissie suddenly felt this resonance from deep within her heart. Her depression could feel the worry in Chinese culture, it was a kind of mysterious realm where one could only understand and not explain.

Princess Cissie couldn't help but look at the handsome man from the East, feeling a sense of curiosity!
