C2160 The Queen and the Emperor of Tongzhi (1/2)
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!”
