C2160 The Queen and the Emperor of Tongzhi

The Gold Carriage was only a short fifteen steps away from the main entrance of Buckingham Palace. The Queen was right in front of Tongzhi, so much so that he could see the Queen's meticulously modified lines on her tail.

The guards with sabers in their hands looked at him with respect. The people in the distance were already looking at the tables set up on the lawn behind the queen. Countless delicacies were already laid out on top of the white cloth.

The magnificent Buckingham Palace was right in front of him, and everything around him made Zai Chun's mouth go dry!

How could he not be nervous? Zai Chun was not only facing the ruler of the strongest empire on Earth, but also a statesman that was of the same generation as his grandfather.

The Queen Victoria and the Dao Guang Emperor belonged to the same period of time as each other, but the Dao Guang Emperor had died a long time ago, and the Queen Victoria had ruled from the age of eighteen all the way until now.

Generations, ah seniority! This was a topic that could not be avoided. Politicians who were at the same time as his grandfather had already become elites after cultivating until now. Zai Chun had no courage to fight against the Queen.

Every step he took was incomparably heavy. Zai Chun wanted to walk out of the emperor's grace, yet he also wanted to defeat the fear in his heart. His legs felt as if they were filled with lead, and he had to use all his strength with every step.

How to face the Queen? What etiquette was there to greet him with? These were all problems that Zai Chun had, and no one could decide for him.

He secretly glanced at his master from the corner of his eyes, but realized that Xiao Letian no longer gave him any hints. His master completely disregarded his disciple's nervousness, and didn't even exchange a single bit of eye look.

Everything depended on Zai Chun. At this moment, he truly felt an indescribable coldness and helplessness!

Fifteen steps was very short, and simply did not give Zai Chun much time to think. Zai Chun, whose palms and back were drenched in cold sweat, had yet to find the answer in his heart, and this short fifteen steps had already been completed.

In front of her was the smiling Queen, she had already seen the hint of panic in Little Zai Chun's eyes and thought to herself, "After all, she's still a child! "Only thirteen years old, only thirteen years old …"

At the moment, the entire venue was silent. No one dared to breathe. Everyone was waiting for what was going to happen next. Every movement, every expression, every sentence uttered by the two monarchs were destined to be recorded in the annals of history!

Zai Chun felt his chest beating crazily, his heart seemed like it was about to jump out of his throat, beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, he wanted to open his mouth to say something but his mind was completely blank.

At this time, a familiar cough sounded from behind him. The cough was extremely soft, but it sounded like thunder in Zai Chun's heart.

In the end, Xiao Letian still could not ignore his disciple. He gave him a firm look and a reminder with his cough.

Zai Chun had a sort of concealed fatherly and fatherly feeling towards Xiao Letian. In the process of a child's life growing up, sometimes they only needed a little bit of encouragement from their father, a little bit of reminder.

Everyone can only walk their own path, but facing fear alone on the road is a kind of feeling, and having someone to accompany you gives you a sense of security, this is also a kind of feeling.

A thirteen year old teenager! This was precisely the barrier in his heart. Although Xiao Letian only coughed once, it was no different from a big hand to Zai Chun that was holding his back when he crossed the barrier.

Zai Chun suddenly thought of what his master had told him before on the road here: "People will always meet their own mental limits. When you don't know what to do and you can't get any hints from the outside world …" "One thing to remember is that you don't forget your first wish!"

"Remember what your original intention was. If you follow that original intention, you will naturally be in a favorable position! "Mercifulness has no rivals, humility will always be dictated …"

Zai Chun took a deep breath, causing the fresh air to fill his lungs. Suddenly, he laughed, and laughed the same as his Master,, with a clean and tidy smile exposing eight white teeth.

He took half a step forward and suddenly bowed respectfully towards the Queen. His waist was at 90 degrees!

"I'm sorry! "I came late …"

When Zai Chun bowed, the crowd present immediately exclaimed in surprise, and countless of people even reached out to rub their eyes.

"God, the Emperor of China wants the Queen to bow? Is this really Emperor of China? "

"That's right, according to the rumors, isn't the Emperor of China supposed to be an arrogant representative? Anyone in the world who sees Emperor of China would kneel down, and if they do not kneel, they will be beheaded … "

"That's right. In the war nine years ago, due to the kowtowing ceremony, there was an intense conflict. Those Chinese people would rather lose than see our envoy. It was because of the kowtowing ceremony …"

Everyone was shocked, the people were shocked, the politicians were shocked, and the reporters who were preparing to take photos were stunned for a good three seconds. They had forgotten to press the shutter.

Zai Chun's words had a double meaning, the Queen could naturally understand it! If he was late, could it be that Zai Chun was late, or that Da Qing was late? Or rather, China was late.

What's late? Is it the Tongzhi Emperor, or is China's national destiny that has already lagged behind the world?

There was no need to say anything else, everything was contained in those words, and at that moment, even Xiao Letian was trying to help Zai Chun.

Queen Victoria extended her hand to help the Sovereign King of the East, who said amiably, "Yes, you are indeed late. You are 76 years late in coming to England, and 300 years late in coming to Europe …"

"However, it's good that you're here. As long as you're here …"

At this moment, the audience finally erupted in thunderous cheers. The fifty year old Queen supporting the thirteen year old Tongzhi, was like a grandmother taking care of a young grandson. This scene was immediately recorded by countless cameras.

"Long live the Queen! Long live the Great Qing Emperor! " The tsunami-like cheers resounded around Buckingham Palace. Groups of white pigeons spread their wings and flew into the sky. At this point, the European visit by the Eastern diplomatic mission officially began.

The Queen and Tongzhi stood side by side, the reporters taking pictures with all they had, the people applauding and cheering, many of them crying with tears in their eyes from being fortunate enough to witness history.

Amongst the crowd, there was a bearded man in an old-fashioned but very clean suit. He was also so excited that tears were flashing. He kept clapping his hands and mumbling to himself.

"I have witnessed an era! I have witnessed a great era! This year is truly a year of miracles, a miracle in Europe, a miracle in the world! "

"Wishing the two great powers of the world to truly join hands and maintain peace together … "Although this dream is so slim, as long as the door to communication is not closed, then everything has hope, there is hope …"
