C2176 Princess Cissie (2/2)
There was a golden chair beside Xiao Letian that was wrapped in velvet. He sat on it with a pained expression and muttered to himself, ”How could it be her? Why would it be her … ”How could it be like this …”
Fang Guan was also stunned, what he saw on Xiao Letian's face was not greed and lust, but faint pain.
Fang Guan quickly sat beside Xiao Letian and fanned him with a fan, ”Old master, what happened? His heart was in pain? Hehe … ”I understand, you're just too proud to be able to touch a woman's beauty, right?”
”Don't be upset, this is Europa, not the Great Qing. How is the Queen? ”You still have to find a lover. How about I wire you and build a bridge …”
Xiao Letian was angered to death by Fang Guan. He knew that Fang Guan was just teasing him, after all, he was the Queen of Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Queen of Hungary.
Furthermore, it was impossible for them to have an affair with a leader of a country with such a high status. This kind of behavior carried a strong political signal and was very taboo.
Therefore, although the private lives of these big shots in Europe were chaotic, they did not put their political lives on the line as a wager. Lovers were just entertainment outside of work, and they had to find someone they could control.
If he were to find a lover who was on par with him or a veteran in the political field, it would be considered suicide.
It was just a matter of time before he lost his composure like Xiao Letian, but he quickly regained his cool again, ”Don't try to keep up appearances, I am just considering whether I should stay in Austro-Hungarian Empire for a period of time. When the time comes, I will definitely meet with the Queen again.
”Well, it's about time for the British side to start this afternoon's event, isn't it? ”Go and ask around …”
Fang Guan looked at Xiao Letian's disingenuous appearance, curled his lips and said softly: ”Just pretend …”
The afternoon visit was much smoother than the morning. It was possible that the Europeans had experienced Xiao Letian's sharp tongue and knew that this guy was not someone to be trifled with.
After leaving Buckingham Palace, the group visited Westminster Abbey to admire the tombs of previous generations, followed by the British Parliament, where the young emperor and Xiao Letian received a warm welcome, and the members present also personally displayed a parliamentary debate to the distinguished guests in the east.
The Cabinet proposed a 0.5% tax rebate to support the wool industry, but the opposition parties were all arguing with each other. These representatives who had been training and debating with each other since they were young were indeed all sharp mouthparts of the debate. Codex, arguments, various data were flying along with the saliva in their mouth.
Not long after, the council member who proposed the proposal was defeated. However, he seemed to be used to this kind of debate, so it didn't matter even if he failed.
Tongzhi could no longer hold it in, he stood up and summoned the representative who did not pass the motion to ask him through a translator, ”Look at your expression, it seems like you don't feel like you have failed at all! Aren't you angry at me? ”To be refuted in such a manner …”
The councilor, wearing a golden wig, bowed respectfully towards the emperor of the Great Qing. ”Your Majesty, this is the politics of England! There has never been a word, what's there to be afraid of if the bill has not been passed, and all the members here, including the Prime Minister, have not had their experience rejected? ”
”We've already understood this from the moment we started politics. Since our proposal was rejected, that means I haven't done enough. I have to take it back and readjust it …”
”In competition and conflict, the national policy of Britain will be perfect, which is the charm of our government!”
