Chapter 397 Meeting the Queen

"Luo Quan is a straight girl. It's impossible to dance."

"I may not be able to do the waltz, but I can do a few sets of military boxing."

"You want to do military boxing on Lafayette Daiying's birthday, right? Do you want to show off our country's prestige?"

"If this happens, I will call her Mr. Quan from now on!"

………………

Obviously, male fans don't think Luo Quan can dance the waltz.

This thing is too high-class and does not fit well with Luo Quan's temperament.

Faced with these ridicules, Luo Quan had no explanation.

She wanted to learn something like the waltz, which was just something she wanted to do, but there was no need.

One person can't dance a waltz, and this is a co-ed dance. Does she have to find a male partner to accompany her at the dance?

Luo Quan felt that he had no such need.

Although I just watched the news, this dance has invited quite a few handsome men and women, many of whom are on the TCC list of the 100 most beautiful faces in the world.

If you can stand out at such a dance, you can definitely gain a lot of attention.

Luo Quan also likes to be in the limelight, but forget about the limelight that can only be obtained by dancing with boys.

After all, she has never been held by a boy of her own age, let alone danced, until now.

Rather than worrying about these, it is better to spend time on completing the post-production of the film.

From getting on the plane to getting off the plane, Luo Quan was working while sleeping. Get out of your seat occasionally and exercise.

After a night's rest in the hotel, at ten o'clock in the morning on the 27th, Luo Quan was woken up by a phone call from Leon.

"Hello?" Luo Quan rubbed his eyes and answered the phone.

"Sister, have you arrived in London?" Lyon's voice was a bit noisy, as if it was on the street.

"I'm here early, I'm catching up on my sleep in the hotel." Luo Quan stretched out on the bed like a cat, and then said, "I've almost caught up on my sleep now."

"That's good. You hurry up and wash up and have breakfast. Grandpa will take us to Buckingham Palace later."

"Buckingham Palace? Going to see the Queen?" When Luo Quan heard this, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

"That's right."

"Then should I change into something more fancy?" Luo Quan lifted the quilt and stood up, rummaging through his suitcase.

"No, just wear your daily clean clothes. The party is tomorrow."

"That's okay. I just have one dress ready. I'll wear it today and have to find it tomorrow." Luo Quan felt relieved and took out a set of clean clothes from the suitcase.

Half an hour later, Leon, who was waiting outside the hotel door, saw his sister running out.

"So fast?" Leon blushed and was surprised. He thought he would have to wait at least an hour. After all, it takes a long time for a girl to take a shower and put on makeup.

"How long will it take to take a shower?" Luo Quan chuckled, opened the door of the extended Rolls-Royce, and got in.

There were three people sitting in the car. Butler Barry and Grandpa were at the front of the car, and Leon was sitting in the back.

Butler Barry and Grandpa were dressed quite formally, wearing suits and tall hats.

Leon was wearing a brown leather jacket and light blue jeans.

Like his sister, Leon is not very good at dressing up.

Maybe this is the capriciousness of outstanding appearance. No matter how ugly you dress, it will not have any impact on your appearance.

After the car started, Luo Quan asked his grandfather:

"Grandpa, what should I call the Queen when I see her later?"

"We are all the same, we all have to call you Her Majesty the Queen." Charles said.

"You shouldn't have to kneel down, right?" Luo Quan turned his head and glanced at Lyon.

Leon waved his hand: "No need to kneel, you no longer need to kneel."

"That's good."

The car stopped and stopped all the way, and as we got closer to Westminster, we could see more and more police.

In recent years, the UK has received a large number of refugees from the Middle East. These refugees are a mixed bag, and it is unclear how many terrorists there are.

Although there are currently no terrorist attacks in London like Paris, we are not afraid of 10,000 people, just in case.

During this time of the Queen’s birthday, you can’t be too careful.

Therefore, the intensity of inspections throughout London has been greatly increased, especially for vehicles and pedestrians heading towards Buckingham Palace.

Although Charles is considered a big shot in London, his car was still stopped many times along the way, and instruments and police dogs were used for investigation.

After driving onto the street outside Buckingham Palace, the vehicle was completely stopped.

According to regulations, no vehicles are allowed to enter Buckingham Palace during the Queen's birthday party. People in the car can only get out of the car and walk there.

While walking on the stairs, Leon complained:

"This is why I don't want to come here. We are obviously relatives, but they are searched like thieves when they come in and out. It's really annoying."

Luo Quan could understand: "After all, it is the queen's palace. There are probably many high-ranking officials in it now, so it is normal to be cautious."

As he spoke, a group of soldiers wearing red military uniforms walked by.

The military uniforms of these soldiers are different from those of the modern army. They are a bit retro. They are probably the famous British lobster soldiers.

"Are these soldiers really capable of fighting, or are they just a guard of honor?" Luo Quan suddenly became curious.

"I don't know." Leon shook his head, "When I was playing here when I was a kid, I teased a few soldiers on guard, but none of them reacted like the stone statues.

But it's pretty cool when they play with guns. "

As they talked, the group arrived at the gate of Buckingham Palace.

Statues, fountains, squares, stone pillars, reliefs, and the historical atmosphere that hit his face made Luo Quan feel emotional.

But for some reason, Luo Quan felt a hint of decay in this luxurious and majestic building, which was far less full of prosperity than the Forbidden City.

Although she has never visited the Forbidden City in person, she can feel this kind of atmosphere just by watching the video.

Perhaps this is the increase in momentum brought by the national destiny to these representative buildings. If we had come here more than a hundred years ago, when the Sun Never Sets Empire was still dominating the world, it would probably be a different scene.

"Duke Charles, Her Majesty the Queen has been waiting for you and your family for a long time." A man who looked like a butler came over and saluted Charles.

Butler Barry was left outside while Charles led his grandchildren into Buckingham Palace.

After going around all the way, everyone arrived at the study room on the third floor.

The butler knocked on the door and heard a voice coming in.

There were a lot of people in the study, including men, women, old and young, queen, crown prince, prince, princess, little prince and princess, there were seven or eight people in total.

"Charlie, long time no see." The white-haired old lady sitting on the innermost chair saw Charles at a glance and said hello.

Charles stepped forward, put his right hand on his chest, bent down and saluted:

"Your Majesty, your spirit is still so good."

This is not a compliment, but the truth.

Tomorrow is the Queen's ninetieth birthday, but her face and spirit look like she has just turned sixty, especially her eyes, which are clear and energetic.

On the contrary, it was her son. Crown Prince Sarshi standing aside looked a little tired. I don’t know if it was because he had been working hard for his mother’s birthday party these past few days. At the age of sixty-six, his face looked worse than her own. parents.

"Leon, come to my aunt." The queen raised her hand and waved to Leon, with a look of joy on her face.

Probably because his appearance is too lovable, although Lyon has a naughty personality, he has been deeply loved by the Queen since he was a child. Every time he returns to the UK, the Queen will let him come to Buckingham Palace for a few days.

However, the queen's own great-grandsons often squeezed out Lyon because of their jealousy and competition for favor. This was also the biggest reason why Lyon later did not like to go to Buckingham Palace.

As time has passed, the queen's true love for Lyon has not changed, and neither has the jealousy of the little princes towards Lyon.

After they entered the study, they greeted their great-grandmother. The latter just smiled and nodded, not talking about warmth or warmth.

As soon as Leon came in, he was called to his great-grandmother's side without even saying a word of greeting. The great-grandmother was still smiling so happily, and she didn't know who was the biological child between them and Leon.

The little princes looked at Leon with a bit more evil eyes.

However, the little princes were too brave to say such treasonous words.

"Auntie, this is my sister, Luo Quan." Leon walked up to the queen and did not forget to introduce his sister.

The queen looked at Luo Quan with a hint of amazement in her eyes. After a long while, she sighed: "What a beautiful girl, even I couldn't compare to her when I was young."

Luo Quan had seen photos of the queen when she was young. She was also a beautiful woman with a very elegant temperament.

Luo Quan is the only one who can make her sigh like this.

"Thank you, great-aunt, for the compliment." Luo Quan followed suit and saluted the queen.

"Come closer." The queen waved to Luo Quan, wanting to see Luo Quan up close.

Luo Quan walked up to the queen generously, and the latter raised his wrinkled hands and gently held Luo Quan's delicate face.

The queen looked at Luo Quan's face, which looked like her own decades ago.

There was reminiscence, regret, and a hint of amazement in her eyes.

Marvel at Luo Quan's flawless face, which seems to be a collection of all the beautiful faces in the world.

"Even the most beautiful paintings in the British Museum are far inferior to you." The Queen let go of her hand and praised again.

"Your vision is comparable to the North Star in the night sky." Leon flattered him with a smile.

The queen laughed heartily: "Boy, you are still as glib as before."

Having said that, it is quite useful to see the Queen looking so happy.

However, the few little princes next to them were even more resentful.

Fortunately, although they are not as popular as Leon to please his aunt, they are still more than lacking.

"Queen, Prince Maurice and Princess Fox have arrived." The housekeeper came over, "They are outside the door now."

When the queen heard these two names, her smiling face suddenly fell.

According to her temper, she should have let her unfilial great-grandson take that damn American woman and leave immediately. However, Prince Ferret, who was on the side, pulled her covertly several times with his hands, and then suppressed her temper. .

"Let them come in." The Queen took a deep breath and said coldly.

Leon quickly motioned to his sister to step aside, obviously afraid of being implicated.

A man and woman walked in from outside the door. The man was not handsome in appearance, but he was quite tall and had a manly beard.

The girl is quite pretty and has a good figure, but she is a bit darker.

"What's going on?" Luo Quan asked Lyon in a low voice.

Leon lowered his voice and replied: "This is Uncle William's second son Maurice, who is of the same generation as us. That one over there is his wife Fox, an American."

"Great-grandmother, Maurice offers you my most sincere greetings and blessings." Maurice did not salute, but just wanted to greet the elders like the younger generations of ordinary families.

"Me too." Fox smiled.

In front of so many people, the queen didn't want to embarrass them too much.

Although Maurice has declared his separation from the royal family, this bloodline cannot be separated no matter what.

No matter how deviant he is, this is her great-grandson.

But it was this American woman. If it hadn't been for her, Maurice wouldn't have made such a decision that embarrassed the royal family.

The queen nodded lightly: "When you come, stay here for a few days. Your parents miss you very much."

Prince Maurice was also very sensible and knew that he and his wife were not welcome. After greeting them, he went to the corner of the study, far away from the queen.

However, the originally harmonious atmosphere eventually became tense due to the arrival of the two people.

As an outsider, Charles resigned from the Queen after a few words with Crown Prince Sars, and Leon and Luo Quan were also preparing to leave.

Of course, just leaving the study, tonight they will be staying at Buckingham Palace, which is the Queen's privilege.

In the UK, apart from the royal family, only members of the Albert family can have this treatment.

After the three people left the study, Crown Prince Sarshi also walked out.

"Your Majesty, does she have anything else to do?" Charles asked.

"It's me." Salshi smiled, "I have a request, and I want your granddaughter Luo Quan to help."

Charles glanced at Luo Quan.

The latter hurriedly said: "You tell me." But there was already a vague guess in his heart.

"My mother has been looking forward to the dance tomorrow night for a long time. If possible, I would like you, Luo Quan, to compose a piece of music." Crown Prince Salshi looked at Luo Quan, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Like the one I made at my grandpa's birthday party, right?" Luo Quan had already expected it.

The upper classes seem to have this need. Money and power are no longer what they pursue, but reputation, a reputation that will last forever.

Since Charles became famous in London with his granddaughter's music, many people have asked him to have Luoquan compose music.

However, they were all rejected by Charles.

But when she bumped into Luo Quan himself today, it was hard for her to refuse.

On the other hand, she quite liked the Queen. It was understandable that she would compose a song for her ninetieth birthday.

Luo Quan said to Crown Prince Sarshi: "No problem, I will write the music later, but it is probably too late to rehearse now. I will have to play the recording then."

"Thank you." Crown Prince Sarshi smiled and said sincerely.
