Chapter 274 The Queen's Balance
The queen's fingers held a white, slender, cool women's cigarette, and smoked elegantly.
Simply from the fact that Xia Yufeng is eager to give him a British identity that is not difficult for him as long as he has no criminal history and knowledge and ability to drag down the society to obtain, even he has always been willing to grant the title of Chinese nationality only to British citizens. Is this ordinary?
What's more, when the queen promised Xia Yufeng the title of 'Baron', she did not give it because he treated Princess Xixi. You know, Princess Xixi was killed in China under the protection of him as the princess's bodyguard. To save the princess, it is his duty and his responsibility. After being cured, the queen doesn't blame him, which is enough for him to burn incense.
However, Her Majesty insisted on granting the title of 'baron' without any qualification or reason, because she took a fancy to his superpower comparable to the 'divine doctor' that could save even the dead. With a 'baron' title that is completely irrelevant to the queen, making friends with a 'divine doctor' is an absolute low-cost and high-effective business from any point of view. If Xia Yufeng had made this request, the queen would have agreed without hesitation.
But now, the queen is hesitant, or embarrassed.
Because according to Xia Yufeng, he not only offended many powerful figures in China, but also offended many senior officials of the Chinese government, including the first chief.
If it's just to offend those powerful people, the queen won't worry much. After all, no matter how snobbish they are in China, there is absolutely no discount on whether it is a dragon or a tiger in Great Britain that should lie down. But after offending the senior officials of the Chinese government, she had to worry.
Britain was the most powerful country in the world in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but after two world wars and the second half of the 20th century, the British Empire collapsed and long lost its former glory. Although, Great Britain is still a pivotal power with great influence in the world. However, at the end of the 20th century, especially after entering the 21st century, in the torrent of vigorous economic development and comprehensive national strength in various countries around the world, Great Britain ran very slowly, especially in military aspects. In order to adapt to the needs of modern warfare and effectively respond to the global threats of the 21st century, it is urgent to strengthen national strength.
To this end, it chose to cooperate closely with China, a developing country with strong development momentum and determination, in economic and military aspects. This matter is related to the development plan of Great Britain and must not be lost. If Xia Yufeng, a "criminal" in the eyes of many senior officials of the Chinese government, has brought a bad impact on China, resulting in the breakdown or estrangement of cooperation between the two countries, she will never be able to bear this big crime.
What's more, is Xia Yufeng really just trying to get a British identity? I'm afraid it can't, right?
Xia Yufeng, who had been paying attention to Her Majesty's reaction, saw that a cigarette was about to burn out. Not only did her eyebrows not unfold, but frowned deeper, and there was probably a result in her heart.
Although he doesn't know how complicated the problems involved here will be outside the system, it's not easy to think about it. Otherwise, it's easy and simple, Her Majesty won't have thought about it for so long. What's more, although she really didn't hold high the banner of 'lifesaver' to force her, it is impossible for Her Majesty to ignore this layer when considering the problem. In this way, Her Majesty has not given a result, which can only show that this matter is really difficult to do.
No matter how thick-skinned Xia Yufeng is, no matter how shameless he is, he is definitely not qualified and has no confidence to ask Her Majesty to sell her face. So he took a deep breath, held the phone and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for causing trouble to you."
Her Majesty, who woke up, slowly extinguished the cigarette butts that had burned to the buttocks of cigarettes in the strangely shaped crystal ashtray, with the same beautiful blue eyes as Princess Xixi with a trace of apology, looked at Xia Yufeng and said, "Mr. Xia, you are welcome. However, to tell you the truth, this matter is really difficult to do. Can you allow me to think about it again?
"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. This matter is far from insoluble, and I believe I will solve it. There is one thing I would like to ask Your Majesty. Xia Yufeng said firmly.
He didn't mean to figure out whether the 'consideration' in Her Majesty's mouth was a shirk or whether he really wanted to figure out a perfect solution. Because he knows very well that if he really responds, the charge of 'gratitude' coercion will no longer escape. At the same time, it is equivalent to making a decisive choice for Her Majesty, who was still hesitant. In this way, he also pushed himself to an extreme and completely destroyed the original feelings and goodwill.
"Mr. Xia, please tell me." Her Majesty, who was originally considered because of her affection, naturally would not find herself unhappy when she saw Xia Yufeng's words like this, and said happily.
Her Majesty's decisive answer, although Xia Yufeng was prepared, it was inevitable that a desolate sense of powerlessness surged up. The plan to take Great Britain as the starting point for the take-off was completely shattered.
Thinking of this, he had nothing to miss anymore. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I hope that what happened here, Her Majesty and Princess Xixi, and of course, Huaxia Translator can keep it a secret for me."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Xia, no matter what, you are our distinguished guest of Great Britain, and this will not change." The queen also seemed to be much relieved because Xia Yufeng broke the back layer of window paper, and her face smiled.
Xia Yufeng smiled without saying anything, then opened the backpack full of gold and silver treasures, took out two pearl necklaces, and handed them to the queen, "Your Majesty, there is a tradition in our China. The first time I visit my friend's house, I will bring some gifts to them. This time I came in a hurry, and it's not convenient to bring too far away. Many things. Please and Princess Sisi's men for these two necklaces.
Seeing Xia Yufeng take out two necklaces made of more than 20 grape particles and transparent pearls, the queen's eyes suddenly widened. In this world, whether she is beautiful or rich, there is no woman who can resist the jewelry of pearl necklaces.
However, when she heard Xia Yufeng make it clear that this was a gift for their first meeting, the queen did not hide the happy expression on her face and waved her hand and said, "Oh, no, I can't accept it. It's too expensive."
In the face of the queen's 'respect', Xia Yufeng could not slander anything in his heart and pushed and said, "Your Majesty, I still have a lot of this necklace. If you treat me as a friend of Great Britain, please accept it."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Xia." The queen was no longer polite. She took the pearls with both hands and her eyes widened.
"Your Majesty, it's inconvenient for me to pass by Princess Sisi. Please tell her my apology afterwards." After that, the gifts that should not have been given have been given, and it was time to leave.
"Mr. Xia, I'm really sorry." Does the queen look like that?
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. This Buckingham Palace is too big. Please arrange someone to take me out." Xia Yufeng waved his hand.
With a helpless or embarrassed expression on her face, the queen took Xia Yufeng out of the room and ordered a servant to send him out.
Out of Buckingham Palace, Xia Yufeng did not turn around or slow down until he walked under the goddess statue in the square where she met Princess Sisi.
took out a cigarette, lit it, took a sip, then turned around and looked at Buckingham Palace, spitting out the thick smoke.
When he confused his eyes with smoke and covered the figure of Buckingham Palace, he muttered, "Two fucking white pearls."

PS: In the past two days, I have been conceiving and writing a new book. I don't know how many grades the new book is compared with this book.
I like the theme and style of the new book very much, and it is very exciting.
I will try my best to save the manuscript and send it as soon as the book is finished in early November.
During the period of impacting the new book stick, it is guaranteed to update 200,000 a month (there is no way, more than 200,000 will automatically go to the new book list)
In addition: Thank you very much for clicking and voting redly. Thank you for your support.
I bowed and thanked those friends who insisted on voting red every day but never left a message to let Fu Yin know. ( It seems that there is a friend who often votes four votes. Thank you so much)
Today, I heard a friend who sang K at a colleague's party that he could sing the song [word on paper] written by me in KTV. When friends sing K, you might as well sing it. The words are in front of the catalogue.
Okay, that's all. I'll continue to type. Make sure to update twice a day these days.
