C2204 A high official in a hostile cabinet (1/2)
The wind that carried the sweet mint smell assaulted his nose. Xiao Letian's mind suddenly woke up from his trance just now. In that moment, he felt that it had been more than ten minutes, but in reality, he was only daydreaming for four to five seconds.
Fang Guan, this ghost spirit was already prepared for this, when the Princess Cissie appeared, she immediately went to Xiao Letian's side, afraid that the leader would lose his cool for a moment, in the end, she did not guess wrong.
After a few seconds of losing his composure, he still couldn't help but laugh when he woke up, ”Oh, so it's the famous beauty of the first royal family in Europe, it's really an honor to have such a person … I don't have any top-notch Blue Spiral Spring, it's the best green tea, I hope the Queen can like it! ”
Princess Cissie's expression was extremely calm, she seemed to have already seen through the various appearances of the man, and did not care about Xiao Letian's degree of impoliteness at all.
”Thank you very much! ”When I have time, I must ask the Chief of State about China's tea culture. I also hope to have a taste of the mysterious Oriental cuisine tonight …”
”Of course, of course!”
With just a few sentences, Princess Cissie and Princess Alexandra walked past Xiao Letian, leaving a fragrant wind behind.
Fang Guan gouged it out with his eyes, to the point where Xiao Letian felt embarrassed.
All of the older nobles in the royal family, as well as the Queen's own grandson and grandchildren, shook hands with Xiao Letian and exchanged greetings with him. Very quickly, the Cabinet which was led by Benjamin arrived in front of Xiao Letian.
Enemy Meet... But there was no jealousy, there was only distance, indifference and a lack of courtesy.
Xiao Letian smiled and said, ”Welcome, Prime Minister, I hope the dishes tonight will satisfy you!”
Benjamin also smiled and said, ”Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your hospitality, and I hope that you can enjoy your stay in England …”
”Haha, you must be joking. I am not here to play around in Europe. I hope to be able to engage in diplomatic activities with many countries. In the end, I hope that we can achieve mutual benefit and win. What do you think?”
Benjamin smirked, ”Diplomacy? With all due respect, please let Europe acknowledge your national identity first! In Asia, in the Great Qing, the only country we recognize is the Qing Dynasty, not some Chinese … ”
”Please do not forget, even the island you are occupying is from the Ryukyu Country. I have never heard of any Chinese Empire, I am truly sorry, but I am afraid that I cannot give you equal negotiation …”
”However, as an outstanding scholar who spread Western learning, as well as a leader who represents the interests of the Chinese, we still respect your identity!” Later on, I will have the Ministry of Commerce negotiate with you … I believe being able to do business with the British Empire is already a very important breakthrough for your clan.
With that, Benjamin entered the room and touched his hat, then nodded towards Xiao Letian and walked over.
F * ck! At that time, the Chinese officials were cursing in their hearts: ”You old bastard, you're really determined to fight against us Chinese?” Yepingtai and the others clenched their fists until the bones creaked.
However, Xiao Letian was already immune to this level of provocation. Benjamin's attitude was very clear, even if he was unwilling to admit the status of the Chinese, this kind of reaction was also within his expectations.
In any case, Bao is not on top of you, so I'll just treat your arrogance as your fart.
Following closely behind was Gladstone. This large nose man saw everything, only to see him looking at Xiao Letian with a serious face and some anger, as she lightly shook hands.
