"How could I not know the king of the world's special forces?" The Queen smiled and said, "How are you living in St. James' Palace?"
"It can't be more comfortable."
Her Majesty the Queen nodded and said, "Then stay for a few more days and let Anna accompany you. My granddaughter is my favorite child. Not only does she not have the airs of a princess, but she is also very considerate. Every time she comes to accompany me, I am very happy as a grandmother."
Princess Anna showed a little girl's tenderness at this time and said, "Grandmother, Anna will come to accompany you often."
The Queen of England smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy. However, you're also at the age where you should find a boyfriend to rely on. If you have a boy you like as a friend, you must tell me. Don't hide it from me."
Princess Anna said coquettishly, "I'm not in a hurry …"
While speaking, Princess Anna looked shy and quietly glanced at Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing thought to himself, "Could it be that the Queen of England has seen through my relationship with Princess Anna? It is not impossible. Otherwise, why did she invite me as a private person? If she has seen through it, what kind of attitude will she have? Will she agree to let me be with Princess Anna?
Xiao Bing thought about it and felt a little uneasy. But when he looked at the Queen again, she had never mentioned these things, as if she did not see the relationship between Xiao Bing and Princess Anna. For a moment, Xiao Bing was a little uncertain.
Xiao Bing sat here and chatted for a while. The Queen seemed to be a little unable to lift her eyelids. After all, she was already in her nineties. Her physical and mental state could not be compared with that of a young person. She stood up and said, "Anna, accompany me back to rest. Xiao Bing, I will ask someone to take you around. You can go back with Anna after dinner."
"Okay." Xiao Bing also stood up.
At this time, the Queen said to one of her personal guards, "Take Mr. Xiao around. Remember, Mr. Xiao is the most distinguished guest. You must not neglect him."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The middle-aged man stepped in front of Xiao Bing and said respectfully, "Mr. Xiao, please come with me."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Well, thank you."
The middle-aged man led Xiao Bing out of the small reception room and asked, "Where would you like to go?"
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Feel free to walk around."
"Oh, okay, then I'll show Mr. Xiao around. By the way, my name is Robert."
"Yes, Mr. Robert."
"You're welcome, Mr. Xiao." Robert was respectful to Xiao Bing from beginning to end. He first took Xiao Bing to the Queen Gallery. The Queen Gallery was very large, even larger than most of the art galleries Xiao Bing had seen before. The most important thing was that Xiao Bing, who had studied art before, found that there were many authentic works that he had only heard of but had never seen before.
For example, several precious works by Leonardo da Vinci, such as "Head of a Young Man", "Exercise: Horse", "Anatomical Structure of the Shoulder" and so on were all collected here.
Compared with ordinary martial artists, Xiao Bing also dabbled in other aspects, whether it was music or art. Every time he walked in front of an authentic work, Xiao Bing would stop for a while and watch it for a while.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps outside and the sound of a mop sweeping the floor. An old man in a gray robe came in while sweeping the floor. When he saw Robert standing in front of the portrait, he could not help but laugh angrily, "Robert, how can a person like you deserve to enter the Queen Gallery to appreciate the famous paintings? What can a person like you, who has no knowledge, understand? "
The old man was about 70 or 80 years old. It seemed that he did not like Robert very much and his attitude was not very good.
Robert was embarrassed when he saw the old man. He smiled apologetically and said, "Mr. Mason, I'm not here to see these paintings. I'm here to accompany Mr. Xiao. This is Mr. Xiao Bing from Cathaysian State."
Hearing that someone else came to see the paintings, Mason's expression eased a little. Then he asked while sweeping the floor, "What does Mr. Xiao do?"
"Oh, he is … He used to be the captain of the special forces. Now he should be almost the same."
Mason's expression suddenly changed again. He snorted coldly and said mockingly, "I hate it the most when you martial artists come over and pretend to know everything to appreciate famous paintings. Do you think these paintings are so easy to appreciate? I don't know how long those famous painters spent to paint the paintings, but in your eyes, they are just graffiti. People like you come to see these, it is an insult to the paintings. "
Because Xiao Bing was so absorbed in the painting, he did not notice that there was an old man behind him roaring. He withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Robert. He said with a smile, "Not bad, there are indeed many classic paintings in your royal gallery. I will come often in the future."
Originally, after saying that Xiao Bing was not welcome, Xiao Bing immediately told Robert that he would come often in the future. Robert and Mason's expression changed at the same time. Robert kept winking at Xiao Bing and thought to himself, "Brother, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Xiao Bing was a little confused. Why did Robert winked at him? Could it be that there was sand in his eyes?
Mason was so angry that he threw the broom on the ground and said breathlessly, "We … we don't welcome you here."
Only then did Xiao Bing notice Mason, who was not far behind him. He looked back and saw an old Englishman, who was panting and out of breath. He could not help but be stunned and said, "Sir, what's wrong with you? Who made you so angry? "
Robert's expression was a little strange. He thought to himself, "I have always heard that Huaxia people are humble and low-key, but for the first time, I know that Huaxia people are actually people who do not pay with their lives. Brother, you must have done this on purpose."
Mason obviously also thought that Xiao Bing was deliberately angering him. He could not help but nod and laugh, "Well, well, well, well, well, you said that you come often, so it proves that you know these paintings very well?"
Xiao Bing said, "Well, I do have a lot of knowledge. Generally, I can paint two paintings. Although I am not as good as these legendary painters, it is still passable."
Beside him, Robert secretly smiled bitterly. Brother, why are you bragging? You are a martial artist, how can you know these things? And you are still so young. At most, you are about 30 years old. Even if you started practicing martial arts in your mother's womb, you still have to study hard every day to be so much better than me at the age of 30, right? Then how can you have time to do other things?
The key problem is, you can brag in front of me, but don't you know who you're talking to? He's famous for abhorring evil, and he hates people like us who wield swords and spears the most. He doesn't like you and me, so why are you bragging in front of him?
Sure enough, Old Mason was so angry that he laughed. Old Mason said, "Well, since you are very knowledgeable, then I will ask you for advice."
Xiao Bing said, "Don't be polite, old man. If there is anything you don't understand, just tell me directly. If I know, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Robert staggered and almost fell.
Xiao Bing said in surprise, "Mr. Robert, are you in poor health?"
"No … I have a bad heart."
"Then you have to go to the hospital."
"…" Robert thought to himself, "My heart is not good because of you. Do you know who is in front of you? This is a famous art master in our country. Although he is responsible for cleaning the art gallery every day, in fact, no one here dares to treat him like a servant. Even Her Majesty the Queen respects him. The reason why he stays here to work is that he really likes these paintings. He wants to appreciate these paintings every day here, which can give him different inspirations.
Besides, Her Majesty the Queen did not want him to do these menial jobs before, but he insisted on doing them. In fact, he sweeps the floor and polishes the paintings in the gallery every day. Usually, there is a special servant who takes care of his daily life. Don't you see that even I dare not refute in front of him?
How dare you say that you know how to paint in front of an art master … Where does your confidence come from?
Xiao Bing really did not understand why Robert was always so surprised. After all, Old Mason was dressed in ordinary clothes and held a broom in his hand. No matter how you looked at him, he was just an old man in charge of cleaning. Who would have thought that he was actually a painter?
Since Old Mason did not say anything, Robert did not dare to say anything, lest he angered Old Mason and get himself into trouble.
Old Mason nodded and said, "Well, then I have to thank you. Next, I really have some questions to ask!"
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Old man, please ask."
While Old Mason wanted to embarrass Xiao Bing, in the residence of Her Majesty the Queen, she had already laid down on the bed. Princess Anna sat next to her, holding her grandmother's hand and said softly, "Grandmother, go to sleep. Anna is here with you."
"Well, I don't know how your little friend is now. I guess he has started to fight with Mason."
Princess Anna was stunned and asked, "Fight? With Grandpa Mason? What do you mean? "
Her Majesty the Queen smiled. Her eyes were full of wisdom. She said with a smile, "I deliberately arranged for Robert to take him to the gallery first. You should know your Grandpa Mason's character and temper. It would be fine if someone else took him there. But Robert had angered Mason before, so Mason will definitely vent his anger on Xiao Bing. I guess there will be a good show!"
