Chapter 0838 book a daughter-in-law for his son
When he saw George VI again, the other party still had no good expression and could not forgive the actions of the robber in front of him.
However, the Queen and Elizabeth were happy with Li Zitao's arrival. The air strikes over the days made the atmosphere so depressed that they could not breathe.
As a girl who is only 14 years old, this war seems even more cruel and terrifying.
Although their lives remain the same in the manor, Elizabeth would see many wounded people every day, and the once beautiful London was shrouded in smoke.
Fires and harsh air defense alarms have become indispensable in daily life, and avoiding bombing is even more exhausting.
Elizabeth hadn't seen her friends for a long time, which made her very upset, and she was also worried about her friends' comfort.
However, the father and mother just told her that everything would be fine, but did not tell her what it was like outside.
"Uncle Charlie, has London been destroyed?" The air raid sir has disappeared. Elizabeth pulled Li Zitao to the lawn, looking at London with melancholy.
It was her home, with many wonderful memories of her, and the city was the pride of Britain, and no British man wanted to see it ruined by war.
"No, I just suffered some minor injuries and things will pass soon." Thinking of the fact that people continued their usual life without air strikes.
Auctions, community activities, wartime volunteers and other continued actions, and Li Zitao felt that "London" would not be destroyed.
"It burns every day, and bombs will fall...I can see the bombed buildings, those are precious history!"
"Dear, London's history and symbols are never expressed by any architecture, but by people... do you understand?"
Li Zitao pointed at her heart and looked at her with a smile, as if she wanted to convey her inner emotions to the depths of her heart.
"I think I will understand." Elizabeth nodded in a vague way.
"That's good... look at the gift I brought for you!" Before he could deliver the gift, Elizabeth pulled him to the lawn to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Take the box from Baixue's hand, Li Zitao put the exquisitely packaged box in front of her and said, "Open it and take a look."
"It looks big...it's pretty, I think it must be a big surprise!" Elizabeth chuckled at him while unpacking the package.
Li Zitao leaned back and lay on the grass, not answering her questions, but letting her discover surprises by herself.
"Wow~~" When Elizabeth opened the box and saw the silver tea sets placed in countless origamis and ribbons, her eyes lit up.
"They are so beautiful... like the tea sets of grandmothers during their grandfather's age!" Elizabeth gently stroked the patterns on the tea set with her hands.
"If you go to Sotheby's, I think the appraisers should be unemployed." Li Zitao said with a playful look.
With a sweet smile, Elizabeth murmured with thoughtful eyes: "They look very familiar. Have I seen them there?"
"I think it was in the royal collection book. This is the beloved tea set that Queen Victoria once used!" Li Zitao said casually.
He doesn't know whether he loves him or not. Anyway, he is not up to him to decide whether he loves him or not. As long as Elizabeth likes him.
"I like them so much...Uncle Charlie, thank you for your gift!" Elizabeth said, turning his head and kissing him in the face.
"Haha, just like it. When I come to America, I can ask Aiden and Mason to take you to see the collection at home, which will definitely make you reluctant to leave."
Li Zitao smiled heartily, and his eyes looked at Elizabeth with a soft look. The more his father-in-law looked at his daughter-in-law, the more satisfied he looked at him!
If Mason could really marry the Windsor royal family, the Li family would be able to break the situation on the surface, but in fact, the embarrassing situation would be immediately broken.
In the future, it may become a bond between the East and the West, which is of great significance to Li Zitao.
As he grows older, his homesickness becomes heavier and he always involuntarily cares about the distant East.
According to the news sent back by the Hualian (China), the situation in the Far East is still very difficult. The Unified Party and the Red Party reached an agreement and must first fight against Japan together.
However, the thoughts of the leaders of the two parties cannot be conveyed downward well, and internal contradictions are constantly occurring. Moreover, in this era, Japan was the real Far East hegemon.
The current situation is still mainly about avoiding large-scale operations, mobilizing mass forces, and actively seeking foreign aid to increase the tilt of the war balance.
The weapons that had previously passed the secret from Gangjiang have been successfully copied by the arsenal in the Far East. Although they cannot be achieved in stability and precision, they have at least been widely popularized on a large scale.
In terms of imitation ability, Li Zitao really admires the ability of the Chinese people. Sometimes he thinks that when the day humans step out of the earth, the whole universe may be shivering under the abnormal imitation project of our Great China.
"Uncle Charlie...Uncle Charlie." Elizabeth shook his arm, awakening Li Zitao, who was in deep thought.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Li Zitao turned his head and smiled apologetically.
"Can you tell your father and mother, let me stay in America for a while?" Elizabeth raised her head and looked at him with anticipation.
It seems that Li Zitao's temptation just now worked. Elizabeth was very interested in art and other collections, and was also very interested in America.
"Uh..." Li Zitao was a little embarrassed and asked him to tell George VI that he would not have to think about what would happen.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Elizabeth also thought of the relationship between his father and him, and could not hide his head in disappointment.
"I thought of it." Li Zitao suddenly shouted: "Maybe you should call Mary and let her invite you... London is not safe now, isn't it?"
"Yes, this idea is great, I'll go now." Elizabeth was so excited that she picked up the gift and ran to the manor with a giggle.
Shortly after she left, Li Zitao was lying on the lawn basking in the sun. The smell of gunpowder in the air brought a different experience. The Queen walked over from a distance.
"My Queen, afternoon." Li Zitao stood up and lazily held her fingertips, leaning forward to make a kiss on the back of his hand.
"I've said it many times, Charlie... Call me Povis, this is not a palace." Povis looked at him with a smile and kindly, "Let's go together."
"Okay." Qianxiao nodded, and the two walked forward side by side.
"I apologize to you for Albert's attitude. He was just too tired. You know, the dignity of the royal family and the entire country was pressed on him." For Povis, her heart was on her husband and daughter.
However, after her husband became George VI, her heart became increasingly biased towards her daughter, and she became increasingly disappointed with this most noble husband in England.
Sometimes Povis had to thank that Britain is now a parliamentary democracy, and if he was born in the Middle Ages, there would be another cruel king in history.
