Chapter 59 Damn Chinese!

Buckingham Palace,

Queen's bedroom.

The aging queen is putting on her coat with the help of her maids.

Beside her, Margarita was already fully dressed, waiting excitedly and anxiously, as if she was about to welcome some big event.

The queen sighed helplessly,

"Isn't it just watching a drama? Why are you so nervous?"

Margarita couldn't tell either,

Taking the queen to watch Professor Lu's drama gave her the feeling of bringing someone to meet her parents.

She whispered coquettishly: "Grandma, if you don't watch it today, you won't have such a good opportunity in the future."

the queen is curious,

"Will you be acting after today?"

Margarita shook her head,

"It's not that there will be no more performances. It's just that after today, the Lyceum Theater will be expanded. As a result, in the next five to ten months, only the central area can welcome guests, and the boxes on the second floor will not be open to the public. That's why I Said."

The modern Lyceum Theater has 2,100 seats, but this is the scale that has been rebuilt many times.

Moreover, these alterations all took place after World War II.

Lu Shi's "Yes! "Prime Minister" turned out to advance this process.

The queen nods to Margarita,

"You said you, how do you do things so haphazardly? You know that the expansion is about to happen, and you don't book tickets earlier, and you have to wait until the last day. If I have any work today..."

Margarita stuck out her tongue cutely,

"I don't want to use my privilege~"

The queen laughed and said: "Then you didn't use your privilege today? How did I hear that we can sit in the first box today? Besides, we are still with Mr. Lu and Mr. Xiao, the two writers of "Yes! Prime Minister."

Margarita was speechless.

The Queen continued: "Besides, don't you students of London Political Science and Economics have always been able to buy cheap tickets provided internally?"

Margarita asked in surprise, "Grandma, do you know all about this?"

The Queen chuckled and didn't answer.

Margarita came from Hesse, and her father, the Grand Duke of Hesse, begged the Queen to take care of his daughter in a telegram.

Now that the queen has made a promise, she naturally needs to keep abreast of Margarita's movements, including the political and economic situation in London, so she knows about the internal votes.

The queen changed the subject,

"Since you can buy internal tickets, you should have seen it, right?"

Margarita nodded,

"I've seen it, and it's twice. But I always feel that I can't get enough of it, and I always watch it and it's always new."

the queen is curious,

"Is it really that powerful?"

Margarita nodded and said, "Of course! Professor Lu not only knows how to write novels, editorials, and poems, but also writes wonderful scripts. Political satire is spicy. I think it is better than those romantic dramas." Much nicer."

The queen has a playful expression,

She always felt that Margarita was too emotional when talking about Lu Shi, which was completely different from her usual state.

Could it be that……

The corner of the queen's mouth curled up in an arc.

On the one hand, the Grand Duchy of Hesse has made good relations with the United Kingdom through marriage, and on the other hand, it is one of the many federal states in the German Empire, and is in a relatively neutral position.

As a princess, Margarita is not the first heir, so naturally she doesn't have to worry so much.

Perhaps, it is really possible to fall in love freely?

But with a Chinese...

When the queen thought of this, she felt it was too absurd,

She shook her head to get the thought out of her mind.

Margarita asked in surprise: "Grandma, what happened to you just now? You suddenly shook your head, is there any discomfort?"

"No, no, I'm fine," said the Queen.

As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted to the door: "Flake, is the carriage ready?"

As soon as the words fell, Stephenson's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, it's ready. But don't you really need to call more guards? Although the security around the Lyceum Theater is good, there are many spectators after all. Inevitably there will be a mixture of good and evil. I worry..."

The queen said solemnly: "It's okay, you are enough."

She turned to Margarita and nodded.

Margarita immediately supported the queen's right arm and walked out of the bedroom with the queen.

Seeing the queen coming out, Stephenson led the queen's guard to salute collectively,

After that, Stephenson raised his head to observe the queen's condition.

Some time ago, the Queen's health became worse and worse, and Stephenson even felt that the Queen might not be able to survive this winter.

But Margarita's company day and night made the Queen's spirits recover very well,

And then there's that amazing Chinese kid—

Lu Shi.

The queen often reads Lu Shi's works,

Whether it is novels, editorials, or poems, every time the queen finishes reading, her face will be flushed, she can even eat two more pieces of bread, and she sleeps more soundly.

Stephenson is of course happy to see such a change in the queen,

This was also the reason why he was willing to compromise and agreed that the Queen would go to the Lyceum Theater without guards.

because of! "The Prime Minister" is Lu Shi's work, or a comedy,

The queen must be happy to see it.

Stephenson ordered: "Go!"

The Lyceum Theater was in Westminster, not far from Buckingham Palace, so the carriage arrived at its destination very quickly.

Margarita jumped down lightly,

She was about to cooperate with Stephenson to help the queen get off the carriage, but she suddenly froze, and said softly "Huh?"

Stephenson was puzzled,

"Your Highness?"

Margarita shook her head and said, "Don't worry, just look over there."

Stephenson followed the princess' line of sight,

I saw a dozen or so British gentlemen who had a place in Downing Street, Whitehall or the Palace of Westminster, chatting and smiling as they walked into the theater gate,

Churchill,

Sir Wodehouse,

Sir Renato Irwin, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff,

Robert Gascoigne-Cecil, current Prime Minister,

...

Liberal and Conservative bigwigs gathered.

Margarita told the Queen about the situation, and the Queen smiled meaningfully: "The Lyceum Theater is really full of visitors today. Well, let's wait, it's better not to collide with these 'officials'."

There is always something funny about saying the word "Master" from the Queen's mouth.

Margarita chuckled,

"Listen to you."

...

the other side.

A group of "official masters" entered the box on the second floor.

Wodehouse said with a smile: "Everyone, today's show is very popular, and it's hard to get a ticket. Winston and I got the box ticket through several layers of relationships. You should cherish it."

He is the honorary headmaster of the University of London Union, and he controls George Bernard Shaw in name, so how could he fail to get votes?

Cecil snorted coldly,

"You dragged on so many relationships, but you still didn't get a ticket for the first box."

They are now in the second compartment.

Wodehouse chuckled,

"Today's first box is reserved for the famous playwright Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Lu, the writer of "Yes! Prime Minister". We have the power in our hands. Of course, we can fight hard, but we don't want to grab the position of literati, right?"

These words are undoubtedly yin and yang,

Cecil pretended not to hear.

At this time, the First Sea Lord Erwin next to him came over and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, it is said that "Yes! Prime Minister" is ironic and has many lines..."

Cecil waved his hand,

"Sir Erwin, please show your gentlemanly demeanor! The writer of this play is a Chinese, and no matter how ironic and funny it is written, it is nothing but nonsense. We should be tolerant, how can we put those who have Did you take it to heart?"

Erwin scratched his head,

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with that!"

Cecil interrupted firmly, and then looked at Wodehouse's direction contemptuously, full of provocation.

result,

Twenty minutes after the show started,

Cecil:

"

Fxxk!

Hateful Chinese!
