Chapter 398

Charles and Wang Chu Charles hadn't even chatted for a few sentences when Miss Luo Quan walked out of the room with the sheet music.

"It's written." Miss Luo Quan handed the sheet music to Prince Charles.

The latter had long heard that Miss Luo Quan's speed of composing was rare in the world, so he wasn't particularly surprised.

"The London Philharmonic Orchestra is in the lobby on the first floor right now. If it goes well, we might not need to play a recording," Prince Charles said happily.

Miss Luo Quan nodded: "This piece isn't difficult; professionals can learn it in a day."

"Thank you so much. The royal family will remember your generosity." After saying a word of thanks, Wang Chu Charles took the sheet music and went downstairs.

The butler walked over and led the three to the guest room where they would stay tonight.

In the Queen's palace, even if it was just a guest room, the furnishings were extremely gorgeous; the walls and furniture were full of beautiful carvings, and crystal lamps hung from the ceiling, which, together with the bright red carpet, adorned the room in a magnificent way.

Miss Luo Quan pulled back the curtains, and the window faced the plaza at the entrance of Buckingham Palace.

With her back to the window, she took a selfie and posted it to Bilibili:

"Guess where I am right now?"

Fans immediately started watching:

"Good heavens, just looking at the style of the curtains, I can tell it's not simple."

"Is it another one of your grandpa's castles?"

"The golden statue behind Miss Luo Quan should be the Queen Victoria Memorial, right? If I'm not mistaken, this should be taken inside Buckingham Palace."

"Amazing, she actually got into the British Queen's palace!"

"Isn't this only for the royal family... never mind, pretend I didn't ask."

"Haha, don't look at Miss Luo Quan's temperament, she's a bona fide aristocrat."

………………

Without a word, the fans started digging up their idol's dark history.

Although Miss Luo Quan was no longer as unrefined as when she first debuted, that image was already deeply rooted in people's hearts and couldn't be bypassed.

Fortunately, these jokes were harmless; as long as no one mentioned the "Abyssal Maw," everything was fine.

After learning that Miss Luo Quan was at Buckingham Palace, a group of fans, besides sighing and envying Miss Luo Quan for being able to play in such a place, also urged her to see if she could borrow the British crown, inlaid with countless jewels, for everyone to see.

This crown was a symbol of the British royal family's power, and it contained many gems that were extremely precious in human history; its status in the UK was comparable to the status of the Imperial Jade Seal in China.

Although she could stay in Buckingham Palace, it didn't mean she had the face to borrow the British crown.

Let alone borrow it, even seeing it was difficult.

But if Gao Liang were to step in, perhaps he could get the Queen's consent to take a few looks.

If she made such a request just to satisfy the fans' curiosity, it would seem she didn't know the weight of things.

So, for these requests in the comment section, Miss Luo Quan pretended not to see them.

This morning, Miss Luo Quan spent her time in the room doing post-production for the film.

During this time, Gao Liang came in once, saying that Uncle William's sons were having a party in the back garden, and there were quite a lot of people, asking if she wanted to go.

However, Miss Luo Quan was deeply engrossed in her work at the time and didn't plan to stop, so she refused.

Lunch was also Western food delivered by a maid—red wine, steak, truffles, foie gras, bread—quite sumptuous; except for the red wine, Miss Luo Quan ate some of everything.

The taste was indeed not bad.

After eating, Miss Luo Quan continued to work, busy until past 3:00 PM before finally stopping.

Although work was important, sitting for a long time could easily flatten one's butt.

Moreover, she had worked for more than five hours today, so it was time to take a break.

After calling Gao Liang, she learned that her parents had also arrived and were all playing in the back garden.

Miss Luo Quan asked the maid for the location of the back garden, and the maid led her there directly.

After arriving, she found that there were even more people than in the study earlier.

The study basically contained direct heirs and their families, such as the Queen's eldest son and eldest grandson, while the back garden, besides these, also had many princes and dukes who were further down the line of succession.

Although they sounded like they were all very old, most were under forty.

Miss Luo Quan's appearance in the back garden quickly attracted the attention of the adults.

"Daughter, come here quickly, let me introduce you to a few uncles." Eric beckoned to his daughter, and Miss Luo Quan walked over quickly.

"This is Wang Chu Charles's eldest son, Prince William." Eric pointed to a middle-aged man with a relatively long face who looked kind and amiable.

Prince William's smile was very bright: "Just call me Uncle William. Your dad and I are good brothers who grew up playing together."

"This is Wang Chu Charles's second son, Prince Henry. You can just call him Uncle Henry." Eric said to another man who looked younger.

Miss Luo Quan remembered then that the last time she came to London, there was an engagement banquet held for a prince, and it seemed to be this Prince Henry.

"Hello, Uncle Henry." Miss Luo Quan nodded obediently and greeted him.

"My big niece is really beautiful."

Prince William laughed; this was almost the first reaction of all the elders when they saw Miss Luo Quan.

"Speaking of which, does my big niece have a partner?"

This was the second reaction of the elders.

"Not yet, and I'm not considering these things for the time being." Miss Luo Quan seemed startled and hurriedly waved her hands, afraid that this Uncle William would introduce her to some princes or something.

Eric explained: "Miss Luo Quan is devoted to music and art and doesn't place much importance on feelings."

Prince William smiled: "Oh, doing art is a good thing. If you have talent, of course, you have to study it diligently. Unlike us, who learn everything half-heartedly, and now that we're old, we haven't achieved anything."

It sounded like self-deprecation, but in fact, it was the truth.

The princes of the new generation had constant scandals, but they hadn't made many serious achievements.

However, most countries' princes were actually about the same; compared to those princes in Arabia who had no right of succession, these few in the UK were already considered relatively decent.

Successfully resolving a blind date crisis, Miss Luo Quan took advantage of the time her father was chatting with several uncles and slipped away quietly.

Looking over, Gao Liang was surrounded by several beautiful princesses, smiling with a face full of good fortune.

Seeing this posture, Miss Luo Quan didn't go over to disturb his good time.

Finding a corner with no one, Miss Luo Quan crossed her legs and played with her phone, and after a while, she started wandering around the back garden by herself.

On one hand, to breathe some fresh air, and on the other, to avoid being pestered by those energetic princes.

Staying in the back garden until past 6:00 PM, everyone was called to the dining room for dinner.

Tonight's banquet was a private banquet hosted by the Queen, and everyone attending was a relative.

Everyone was arranged to sit on both sides of a long table, and before the banquet started, the Queen and the Prince took turns giving toasts.

Nothing more than thanking God for letting everyone gather together and hoping God would bless the royal family to continue to be prosperous.

Finally, everyone raised their glasses to toast to the Queen's health.

Miss Luo Quan, like a child, held juice in her glass.

This banquet couldn't be called grand, but since everyone was a relative and the relationships were familiar, it seemed very lively and harmonious.

During the banquet, many of Grandpa's peers and Father's peers came over to toast. In the time it took Miss Luo Quan to eat a meal, she had gained more than a dozen uncles.

While remembering people, Miss Luo Quan was also sighing in her heart that it was good to be rich.

Although Grandpa's branch had long since left the royal family, by virtue of his wealth, which ranked at the top of the world, he could still appear at the royal private banquet, and there were so many princes and nobles coming to toast him.

Don't look at the "British Royal Family" brand, which was valued by the outside world at as much as 80 billion US dollars, but the wealth that the royal family could freely dispose of actually mostly came from the government.

And the government obtained it by levying relevant taxes on civilians.

Although it was also a huge sum of money, compared to a tycoon like Miss Luo Quan's grandpa, it seemed a bit like a drop in the bucket.

That was why these princes and nobles were so willing to come and get close to Grandpa and Father.

If it were a poor relative, they probably wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of Buckingham Palace.

In Miss Luo Quan's view, this way of getting along seemed too utilitarian; when they really reached a difficult juncture, she didn't know how many people could be relied upon.

It was no wonder Gao Liang didn't like coming here; besides being jealous of the princes, there was probably this reason involved.

However, whether it was for money or not, at least the royal etiquette was quite thoughtful.

After the banquet ended, several maids sent Miss Luo Quan to her room, two of whom walked into the bathroom on their own and started filling the two-meter-square pool with water.

Upon asking, she learned that these pretty maids were going to serve her in bathing and changing clothes.

Good heavens, living this long, she finally experienced the essence of the dross of feudalism.

However, as a good youth of the new era of socialism growing up under the red flag, Miss Luo Quan couldn't enjoy this level of treatment yet.

On the other hand, she was also embarrassed to get naked in front of so many people, even if they were girls too.

So after they finished filling the water and adding essential oils, Miss Luo Quan still let them go out.

Closing the door, Miss Luo Quan took off her clothes and stepped into the bath.

Taking a bath in such a large pool was a first for her.

It felt indeed more comfortable than the massage bathtubs at home, probably because she could stretch her legs.

Although the massage bathtub had fancy functions, the space was a bit small, making people feel very constrained.

The circular pool she was sitting in now was much better; the space was large enough for people to swim in.

Moreover, this pool seemed to have heat preservation and self-cleaning functions. She soaked in it for half an hour, and the water temperature didn't drop much, but the bubbles on the water surface gradually disappeared.

She didn't know what kind of black technology was used, but she had to get one for home later, to soak in it every day!

Seeing that her skin had turned red, Miss Luo Quan stood up from the pool.

The moment she left the water, her whole body felt much lighter, and her bones felt soft.

After wiping the water dry, Miss Luo Quan wrapped a bath towel around her body.

When she looked down to fasten it, she discovered that it seemed she had grown bigger again.

Logically speaking, girls basically stopped developing after 19, and the last time she used the figure enhancement, it didn't have any effect on this area, so why did it change again now?

In doubt, Miss Luo Quan asked the system, wanting to know if this was the figure enhancement taking effect.

The answer she got was:

"The figure is set once, and if it's still developing now, it means you lack exercise."

She had been sitting in front of the computer doing post-production for the past few days, so she indeed lacked some exercise.

Although having a good figure was quite nice, too much of a good thing was bad, and being too good would still affect the overall aesthetic.

To avoid becoming a dairy cow, starting tomorrow, she had to work hard to lose weight again…………

On the night of December 28th, the eyes of the mainstream Western media were all focused on Buckingham Palace.

A large number of prominent high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and royal nobles from European and American countries were in attendance.

In the past, celebrities would generally not be invited to such banquets.

But this time was an exception; because a ball was to be held, many celebrities were invited, all to grab eyeballs.

The banquet started at 7:00, and not long after it began, the nine-layer birthday cake specially made for the Queen was pushed out.

The Queen was in a very good mood today, so she couldn't wait to bring out the birthday cake early to share this joy with the guests.

However, although the three-meter-high cake was large, with so many people present, not everyone could get a share, and most people could only take photos on the periphery and watch the fun.

After the cake was divided, the banquet officially began, and the ball proceeded simultaneously.

Young people danced in the center of the dance floor to the music of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and the elders gathered by the wall, smiling and applauding for them.

Reporters faithfully held their cameras, broadcasting this lively and wonderful scene to the whole world.

After three pieces were danced, the atmosphere of the entire ball was brought to a climax. Prince Charles also walked onto the stage where the Philharmonic Orchestra was located, picked up the microphone, and said passionately:

"Distinguished guests, the next piece, 'Waltz No. 2,' was composed by Miss Luo Quan specifically for this moment worth remembering. I hope all the young people will walk into the dance floor and use your youth, passion, and beautiful dance steps to express your blessings to Her Majesty the Queen."

After speaking, he handed the stage to Miss Luo Quan.

Tonight, Miss Luo Quan was in a sea-blue evening gown; it wasn't a grand dress, but she was still beautiful and moving.

She held her violin and came to the microphone, and the musicians behind her also made preparations under the conductor's instructions.

Dozens of handsome boys in suits walked into the dance floor and reached out to invite the ladies not far away.

Before this, most of them were strangers.

And when the boys extended their invitations, the girls still walked toward them generously, not letting every invitation go to waste.

All the reporters aimed their lenses at the dance floor, and at the same time, the ratings of the major TV stations broadcasting this banquet reached their peak in the last month.

The number of viewers watching the live stream on Twitter and YouTube also reached a terrifying three million plus!

Even in China, which was blocked by the Great Firewall, the live broadcast screen appeared on Weibo, and the popularity reached the million level.

If the British royal family wanted to host a grand banquet, then undoubtedly, they succeeded.

But the real climax hadn't truly arrived yet.

As the sound of the drums on the stage rang out, the people on the dance floor danced the waltz one after another.
