Chapter 483 Meeting with Queen Elizabeth

Wang Li has experienced three lives, and he feels that he has let go of everything. For people living in this world, what is more important than being alive, more important than oneself?

At least, Wang Li rarely has deep feelings for anything, except for his family, of course.

Wang Li also cares a little about the so-called club honor, but if he has to choose between the club honor and his own honor, he will definitely choose his own honor. After all, the club belongs to others, but his heart is his own.

Therefore, he could not understand Henry and the love that his original owner had for Arsenal.

Even though he is now in Real Madrid, working hard to win all the championships, in the final analysis everything is mostly for himself. As for the honor of Real Madrid, it is just incidental.

However, as a professional athlete, his professional ethics also makes him do his best to perform, and this effort may go one step further than those who love Real Madrid Club. Because of this, although he does everything for himself, he has no apologies in his heart.

Since coming into this world, Wang Li's mentality has always been very calm. He just enjoys life. Even in terms of emotions, he rarely has too much fluctuation in his heart. However, after playing against Arsenal, he felt nervous---

He received an invitation from the British royal family, and the invitation was signed by Queen Elizabeth.

If he had no disputes with Queen Elizabeth, he would not feel nervous facing the most famous queen. But now he was going to marry Queen Elizabeth's favorite granddaughter, so this meeting really felt like meeting the parents.

When he met Earl Edward, he was not too moved because Angela was by his side, but now Angela was still in Spain and he came to London by himself, which meant that this time Queen Elizabeth met him alone.

The content on the invitation was very simple, with only the time, place and signature. But even so, Wang Li was nervous because it was related to whether the queen agreed to their marriage, which was crucial to their future life.

"What should I wear?"

"What should I say then? Or should I call Annie over now?"

"Can you not go? Or delay it?"

At Highbury Stadium, Wang Li had just taken a cold shower and changed his clothes in the locker room when he received the invitation. After reading the content, many ideas flashed through his mind, but he rejected them all in an instant. In the end, he still felt that it would be better for him to go, after all, he was going to marry Angela eventually.

Although he would feel a little nervous facing Angela's elders alone, these were things he had to face. If he took Angela with him, the effect would not be so good.

After considering it, Wang Li went to the press conference with the head coach with a normal attitude. Later in the locker room, he and the coach asked for leave.

"Mr. Carlo, I have some things to do in London. I would like to take two days off and go back to Spain by myself the day after tomorrow."

Although his home is in London, Real Madrid came to London to play a game, and it was indeed a bit undisciplined for him to leave the team alone. Under normal circumstances, Wang Li would not ask for such a leave, but this time he had no choice.

"Oh my God, Alan, you actually want to take a leave?" Carlos was folding clothes nearby. When he heard this, he turned his head and said in surprise.

During the six months that Wang Li was suspended, he did not have to play in the game at all, but even so, he still insisted on training with the team every day, and he rarely asked for leave. Everyone in the team knew that Wang Li's discipline was absolutely the best.

"oh?"

Carlo looked at Wang Li suspiciously, then thought about it and said, "Okay then."

Carlo didn't ask Wang Li what he was going to do. He knew that this black-haired boy would not ask for leave unless it was necessary. Besides, the team had just won a big victory and this boy performed very well in the game, so it was okay for him to just take two days off.

However, Carlos, the Brazilian big mouth, soon spread the news in the team, and many people came to ask Wang Li why he asked for leave.

Wang Li had not intended to tell them, but he was so annoyed while packing that he stood up and said, "Nothing. The Queen of England wants to invite me to tea tomorrow afternoon. It would be impolite if I don't go."

"You're kidding, Alan. You're really amazing to tell such a lie," Carlos said without even thinking.

However, Beckham obviously understood, he smiled and said: "Congratulations, Alan"

"Thanks."

Wang Li nodded, understanding what Beckham meant. As long as he passed this test, he and Angela could set a date for their wedding, which was indeed a happy event.

"What, this is true?"

Carlos stared at the conversation between the two. He seemed to understand something. After a while, he reacted and said, "Oh my God, by the way, Alan, your girlfriend is a little princess from England... I can't believe that you will get married so soon..."

Not to mention Carlos, few people in the entire Real Madrid team believed that Wang Li was planning to get married.

No matter how great Wang Li's achievements in football are, he is still a 19-year-old boy. In European countries, although people start dating very early, most people only consider getting married after the age of 25.

For stars like them in the public's eyes, getting married is likely to affect their careers, and it is very difficult to find a matching partner. In the eyes of the public, the word marriage is still very, very far away from Wang Li.

Wang Li ignored his teammates' discussion, but pulled Beckham aside to ask some questions related to the meeting with the Queen, such as the dress. Beckham had met Queen Elizabeth, and Victoria was even more proficient in socializing. In any case, Beckham would definitely know something.

"Alan, I think you can just be casual. Considering your relationship with the little princess, you should act casually when you get there. This is the right thing to do." Beckham looked at the invitation, thought for a moment and said.

"random?"

Beckham nodded and laughed, "Haha, Alan, it's okay if you're nervous. Just treat her as an ordinary old lady and go meet her. It doesn't matter what you wear."

"I don't care that she's the queen, I'm just nervous that she's Anne's nanny, after all, Anne has lived with her since she was a child."

"I can't help you with this..."

After asking a few questions without any results, Wang Li had no choice but to separate from his teammates and return directly to Cravenwell Road, intending to go home and take a look.

After going to Madrid, he did not sell his original villa at Stamford Bridge, but it was also empty. All the valuables were moved to Ellis's place, including, of course, the Bugatti Veyron sports car.

Although the car was priceless and Wang Li liked it very much, he did not check it in to Madrid because he felt it was a bit too ostentatious.

However, after returning to London, in his hometown, he did not have so many thoughts. After saying hello to Ellis and Wang Hai, Wang Li drove his sports car around. It felt great. With his quick reactions, his driving skills had become more and more proficient.

While traveling through London, he even wondered if he would have time to participate in a car race in the future. Maybe if he practiced a little, he could even win a trophy or something. That would definitely feel great.

However, what is coming will definitely come. The next afternoon, when the European media was still paying attention to the second round of the European round of 16, Wang Li had already arrived at Buckingham Palace, built in the city of Westminster, on the west side of James Park in London.

Buckingham Palace was named after the Duke of Buckingham. It was originally called Buckingham House, which means "someone else's home". It is now the private property of the British royal family and the residence of Queen Elizabeth II.

Looking at the palace, Wang Li felt a little nervous and curious. Even though he had been a human for three lifetimes, he had never been to such a place. Angela had lived here since she was a child. Compared to ordinary people, this seemed a little strange.

Wang Li parked his car in the parking lot of St. James' Park, and then walked towards Buckingham Palace. He "handed" the invitation to the patrol guard who symbolized the honor of the royal family, and walked straight in.

To enter Buckingham Palace, one must first pass through a long corridor with a red and luxurious carpet in the middle of the corridor. It looks very luxurious. Wang Li thought that although the British royal family is financially tight, this face-saving project is definitely not bad.

Led by a servant, Wang Li finally arrived at the queen's private suite after about ten minutes. After entering, there was a bright hall, which was where the queen met guests. However, after he walked in, he did not see the queen, but followed the servant into a small suite, which was a study.

Here, he finally met the most famous queen in the world - Elizabeth II.

During the more than half a century that the Queen ruled the UK, Queen Elizabeth II awarded and conferred more than 387,700 awards and honorary titles, and she personally presided over more than 540 investiture ceremonies. During the 58 years of the Queen's reign, the UK had 6 Archbishops of Canterbury and 11 British Prime Ministers.

From Wang Li's perspective, even if he had lived three lifetimes, he couldn't help but feel respect for this queen.

Elizabeth II is now 79 years old. On April 21 this year, it will be her 80th birthday. Many people in the upper aristocratic circles of England are preparing for this birthday for the queen. Although Elizabeth II looks old now, making it difficult for her to find the beauty she had when she was young, her outstanding temperament still makes her look noble and friendly.

Wang Li was nervous when he came here, but after seeing the queen, he was no longer nervous. He came to Elizabeth, bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Your Majesty. I wish you good health and longevity." Queen Elizabeth's expression was very calm, but there was a hint of kindness in this calmness. She nodded slightly, waved her hand to signal Wang Li to sit down, and then said, "I heard that you grew up in London? Is your father a Chinese?"

"Yes."

Wang Li nodded and said, "My father is a Chinese. I have always been proud of it."

Queen Elizabeth nodded, and as if reminiscing, she said, "...The last time I went to the ancient Eastern country was 20 years ago. The environment there was very good and I liked it very much. I went to the Great Wall and the Royal Palace there. The Chinese civilization is great."

"Thanks."

At this time, an 8 or 9-year-old girl came in from outside. Elizabeth asked her to sit next to her, smiled and touched her little nose, and said, "I am an Arsenal fan, and my granddaughter Kayla is also an Arsenal fan. We watched the game together yesterday, and you performed very well."

Hearing this, Wang Li felt a little embarrassed. The final score of yesterday's game was 4:2. In the last 10 minutes of the game, Arsenal had no power to resist. Wang Li easily scored two more goals and completed a hat-trick. This performance was indeed brilliant, but now Queen Elizabeth said she was an Arsenal fan...

As if she saw Wang Li's embarrassed expression, the queen smiled and continued, "Don't mind. Football has no borders. Your performance is indeed good. In the world, as the birthplace of football, the England team's performance is much worse. I am also very happy to have a player with outstanding skills like you."

"Thank you. I will try my best."

The Queen nodded and said, "Will you participate in this year's World Cup in Germany?"

Wang Li said: "Mr. McLaren has recruited me into the England team. I think if nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely participate in the World Cup."

"If you had played, England might have done well today."

Queen Elizabeth was indeed very friendly. Before having a formal conversation with Wang Li, the two chatted about football, which made Wang Li feel stress-free, as if he was chatting with a friend.

However, what is coming will eventually come. After talking for a while, Queen Elizabeth still asked the key question.

"Are you used to life in Spain? Annie is living with you now."

Hearing this, Wang Li became embarrassed, but after thinking about it he gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, I've adapted to it. We've been living together, and I love her very much." As he spoke, Wang Li kept observing Queen Elizabeth's expression. He and Angela had been living together before they got married, and this kind of thing was very common in Europe, but it was indeed a bit embarrassing to be asked by Elizabeth, who had taken care of Angela since she was a child.

"I believe that."

Elizabeth asked, "But do you know what effect it will have on Anne if I marry you?"

"Influence?" Wang Li raised his head in confusion. He had never thought about this question.

Looking at Wang Li's expression, Queen Elizabeth continued, "If she marries you, she will permanently lose her right to inherit the throne."

"Inheritance?"

"Yes, although you are an Englishman, you have not received a royal education, and you are not a noble. If I marry you, no one else will object, but Angela will never have the right of inheritance."

After saying this, the room became quiet. After a long silence, Queen Elizabeth continued, "Anne is my favorite granddaughter. She has received royal education since she was a child. I originally wanted to train her as an heir. After I die, Charles will take the throne. However, if Charles is no longer around by then, Edward will take the throne, and Angela will then become the first in line to the throne."

Wang Li didn't quite understand the royal succession order, but Queen Elizabeth's words made him know that Angela was very likely to inherit the throne. In other words, as long as Earl Edward could inherit the throne, Angela would become the first in line.

These made him a little dazed for a moment. He had never thought about this problem before, and felt that it was not within his consideration range at all. However, after thinking about it, he said solemnly: "I can't understand this. This is far from my life. But I can promise that if we get married, I will do everything I can to make her happy."

As for the throne or not, Wang Li was not sure, but he knew that Angela would definitely give up everything for him, so all he could do was to bring her happiness.

After hearing Wang Li's words, Queen Elizabeth remained silent for a long time. She just stared into Wang Li's eyes, and Wang Li also looked back at her.

Having lived three lives, Wang Li was no longer afraid of anything. The majesty of Queen Elizabeth was like nothing in front of him. He treated Queen Elizabeth more like an elder, and her identity was not within his consideration at all.

"Well, young man, you win."

After a long while, Queen Elizabeth suddenly laughed and said slowly, "You win, young man. I believe you."

"Actually, I was just testing you."

Queen Elizabeth pointed to her seat and said, "I have been sitting in this seat for more than fifty years. No one knows this feeling better than me. This is not a pleasure, but a responsibility."

"Edward VIII chose to abdicate, and I have never forgiven him. Therefore, I never thought of letting Angela inherit the throne, just because she is my most beloved granddaughter. Now, young man, Angela belongs to you. I hope you can treat her well. She has never suffered since she was a child. In front of me, she always cries like a child. I hope you will be happy in the future."

Hearing this, Wang Li stood up and bowed deeply to Queen Elizabeth II, saying, "Thank you."

After the heavy topic was over, Queen Elizabeth II talked to him about football again. Obviously, Her Majesty the Queen was amazed that he could have such good football skills at such a young age. This topic made the atmosphere light-hearted again.

It was not until an hour later that Wang Li walked out of Buckingham Palace and stood at the parking lot gate. He looked at his sports car and breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally passed this level.

Compared to the current situation, he hoped that Angela was just an ordinary girl.

But life is always helpless. Since they choose to be together, Wang Li has to bear the corresponding responsibilities. Perhaps this is just the beginning of a headache. The marriage of the little princess of the English royal family is not an easy thing, and he himself is also a world-class star. It is obvious that this wedding will be grand in scale.

These made Wang Li feel a little excited but also a little worried. He shook his head and drove directly back home.

He has to take a flight back to Madrid tonight, so he doesn't have much time to stay in London.
