C2028 Family members of the Empress Dowager Xi (2/2)

Zai Chun was obviously still immersed in the logic behind what his master had just said, and had obviously not seen Liu Dadao so shocked by the sound of his greeting, ”Hmm? Ah … ”Good, good, good!”

Liu Dadao's eyes flashed, he shot a glance at Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi who were at the back of the crowd. The three of them did not say anything, and the banquet continued.

The sun was setting, and soon, all the British guests were on board. The banquet started with a friendly atmosphere, these senior military officers who had just come over from the Atlantic and Mediterranean Fleet apparently had never eaten such delicious Chinese food before.

In the entire banquet, only Zai Chun was sulking. British officer thought that the Emperor was holding back his identity, so of course he wouldn't blame the Emperor.

One was the emperor of the Great Qing, and the other was a military officer of the British Navy. Their statuses were indeed too low, so when Zai Chun ate his food with great gusto, none of the guests dared to disturb him.

Xiao Letian and the others knew that Zai Chun was definitely thinking about the diplomatic problem just now, and was probably thinking about how to deal with the British.

Xiao Letian and the others would naturally handle the negotiations between the Chinese and British, but Zai Chun had to settle some diplomatic issues with the British regarding the Great Qing. No one could really help him, he could only bear the responsibility.

The meal was tasteless. After drinking two mouthfuls of soup, Zai Chun put down the tableware as an excuse and returned back to the cabin to rest. Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi quickly followed suit.

Time passed second by second, when the British guests finished their feast and left the Zhiyuan Warship, Xiao Sixi suddenly went to the kitchen and asked Liu Dadao to cook a bowl of thin skinned wontons for supper.

When Liu Dadao came to see Zai Chun with a wonton in his hands, he realized that the Little Emperor was staring at him with a look of ”Shut the door!”. Kneel down! ”

With a ”pu tong” sound, Liu Dadao knelt on the ground and knocked his head against the deck. ”Servant Liu Dadao greets Your Majesty!”

”Great!” Great! All of you must be hiding something from me … Tell me, who sent you? ”

Liu Dadao's eyes reddened and tears fell from his eyes: ”Master, I am a servant of the Empress Dowager Xi, my family's eight generations of servants are from the Yehonala family, I am a son of the family.”

”It's the empress dowager who's worried that the master will come to Europa alone and let me protect you in secret!”

Zai Chun's expression softened a little. He did not expect that he was a servant of the Queen Mother's clan, a member of her family!

”What are you doing with all this? Is there something you can't do clearly? Who can stop you? ” Zai Chun's nose suddenly turned sour, he missed the Mother a little.

After all, he was still a thirteen year old child!

Liu Dadao leaned his ear and listened. There was no sound from outside, then he knelt in front of Zai Chun and said, ”His Majesty, hiding your identity is the order of the empress dowager, you're surrounded by Xiao Letian's people, even Hairy # 2 is unreliable. How can you be careless?”

”Right now, Your Majesty is in a foreign land, so aside from your mother's family, you have to be careful of everything else …”

”This is the note the empress dowager gave you. You'll recognize her handwriting when you look at it …”
