Chapter 1748: Exposed
Those fake... those over-promoted watered-down wines actually really cure coughs? And the effect is so good that Queen Saina wants to see herself, and then wants to order long-term?
Following behind the two internal affairs officers, Anna, who was taken to the palace to see the queen, felt that her whole person was not good.
Although she had just asked about the situation and knew that Meilanni was not completely talking nonsense, and that these "fake wines" she had gathered overnight were not only harmless but also had certain health effects.
But these so-called Travel Thrush famous wines 【Mermaid Brew】, to put it bluntly, were just some soaked wines with damp barrels, mixed with whale fat remaining on the inner wall of the material pot, and a few drops of mermaid bathwater shaken evenly, and concocted in a muddled way, but they could actually get the favor of the Morna Queen?
"Meilanni!"
Because she really didn't have much confidence in her heart, worried that these extremely unreliable fake famous wines made by her sister would cause any diplomatic incidents, affecting the serious business that her big brother and sister Veronica had to do, Anna couldn't help but pull her sister, who was full of excitement, over and asked in a low voice:
"Are you sure there's no problem with those wines?"
"Of course there's no problem!"
The big eyes with golden wheels reflected in the pupils blinked, and the Original Sin Great Rose God, who was about to get rich, hammered her chest and said full of confidence:
"Even if you don't believe me, you should believe big brother, right? Big brother tasted it and said it tasted good, and the taste was quite smooth, and even instructed me to help buy a pot, preparing to take it back for his colleagues to taste..."
"..."
If you say so... that's true?
Anna had a certain understanding of Li Ang's drinking capacity and "experience," and vaguely knew that he had probably drunk a lot of good wine. After listening to Meilanni, she finally felt a little relieved.
The slightly nervous girl, with her younger brother and sister and several guards brought down from the ship, walked through the magnificent palace behind the internal affairs officers, and finally arrived outside a room with closed doors.
"Please come in, Miss Anna."
After opening the door, the older of the two internal affairs officers bowed slightly, smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
"Queen Saina is in the Silver Lamp Hall, you can go straight in."
"Thank you..."
Not used to the formal conversation of the internal affairs officers, the slim girl took a deep breath after being slightly messy, then signaled the guards to stay in the corridor outside the door to wait, and she took her younger brother and sister's hands and stepped on the carpet with silver lamp patterns.
What surprised her a little was that, unlike the dazzling, golden exterior of the entire Morna Wang Gong, which symbolized huge wealth, the interior of this Silver Lamp Hall appeared relatively simple.
Although the high-domed ceiling had a large number of exquisite reliefs, the patterns and colors were relatively simple and restrained, and the giant crystal chandelier hanging in the center was also the same. Although it looked expensive at first glance, the shape was simple and generous with few carvings, and it did not appear aggressive.
The brilliant sunlight shone on the golden exterior of the palace, and then refracted from the dark brown wooden windows printed with scroll patterns, cut by the diamond faces of the crystal chandelier, making the peach-core wooden long table in the center of the hall bright.
A middle-aged woman who looked about forty years old, with five features vaguely similar to Veronica by two or three points, was sitting on the armchair at the head of the long table, looking at herself with a smile.
"Greetings..."
"Miss Anna, welcome to the Morna Kingdom."
Taking the lead to greet Anna, expressing her goodwill, the middle-aged woman wearing a golden crown smiled and pointed to the seat specially left empty on her left hand.
"Please sit down and talk... By the way, how much longer will it take for the affairs of Lord Li Ang and Queen Veronica to be finished?"
"?!"
Hearing the Morna Queen's unmasked opening statement, not only was Anna, who still wanted to hide her identity, startled, but even the Great Rose God, who was full of selling, had her eyes shaking violently, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at William beside her.
Bad! Exposed!
It's been leaking for a long time, okay? Otherwise, the royal purchaser would have to suffer from a serious mental illness to buy wine of unknown origin for the queen to drink?
William the younger brother, who was not surprised by this, did not pay attention to his stupid sister, but squeezed Anna's hand slightly, signaling her not to worry, then raised his small face to look at the middle-aged queen, and answered calmly:
"Queen Saina, big brother and the others originally wanted to visit you directly when the ship docked, but we encountered a small accident when sailing according to the sea charts provided by your country, and finally had to speed up temporarily, resulting in arriving at Golden Fiber Port half a day early."
"And in order not to disrupt your process, and discovering some situations that might affect the Twelve Kingdoms Assembly, big brother thought it was better to deal with that side first, so he delayed the time to visit you, I hope you don't mind."
"You are serious."
After listening to William's clear and neither humble nor arrogant reply, the Morna Queen couldn't help but look at him in surprise, then nodded with a smile:
"I heard that Lord Li Ang has a younger brother who is mature, steady, and has a unique vision at a young age. In the past, I thought the rumors were a bit exaggerated, but I didn't expect the rumors to be conservative... Miss Anna, you have a good younger brother."
"You are over-praising."
After William took over the first wave of "attacks," Anna, who was startled by the exposure of her identity and caught off guard, reacted quickly. She squeezed her slightly damp palms, took William and Meilanni to sit down, and also smiled:
"William just has a bigger courage than ordinary children and is not easy to be timid, but he is actually not as good as you praised."
"No, no, he is not just courageous."
Not knowing whether it was intentional goodwill or really very interested in William, looking at William who was sitting straight and like a little adult with Anna's help, the Morna Queen continued with appreciation:
"The words just now, although not difficult, any mature diplomat can say them, but this child's reaction to my sudden 'trouble' was really too fast."
"Not only did he clearly explain the situation and express the attitude that it was not intentional, but he also hid those key messages tightly, without telling me any extra information. This is very rare."
"This... sorry."
"No, no, and it should be me who says sorry."
Waving her hand to indicate it didn't matter, the Morna Queen smiled:
"To tell you the truth, I am a bit curious about the whereabouts of Lord Li Ang and the others. I specifically asked the internal affairs officer to invite you over like this, just to try to ask for some news."
"But as a result, this child didn't fall into the trap at all. After cooperating with me to return a conversation, the things I knew from you were no different from before. It's really very good... By the way, Miss Anna."
When saying this, the Morna Queen seemed to think of something, held Anna's arm, and said with a smile:
"I happen to have a niece who is about the same age as this child. Look... should our two families have a marriage to deepen the relationship?"
