As soon as Xiao Letian finished speaking, four ice-drilling craftsmen had already grasped the base of the huge jade carving. The four of them growled neatly, and a jade carving, more than one meter tall, was lifted from the iceberg.

The attendants around suddenly raised countless lamps, and the snow-white light shone on the jade carving, and the guests present were in a thrill.

The most excited ones were the queen and the crown prince. Queen Victoria shook her body and sat back on the chair. When the royal servant next to her saw something was wrong, she rushed over quickly and took out the salt from her pocket for the queen to smell it.

Prince Edward was even more indifferent to his mother who was about to faint. He rushed over in three steps and reached out to caress the jade carving.

At this moment, the answer was finally revealed. Xiao Letian said in a low voice, "This jade carving was specially made to commemorate Prince Albert. We collected hundreds of photos and paintings of the prince. The best jade carving master understood the prince's expression, and finally formed this fine product!"

All the guests present took a breath and thought to themselves that Xiao Letian was so thoughtful that the queen could not refuse the state gift.

Prince Albert, the husband and her cousin of Queen Victoria, married the Queen when he was twenty years old, and since then the man became the pillar behind Victoria's halo.

Most people, especially Chinese, may think that their daughter-in-law is the queen but their husbands are the virtuous. This is really a matter of reversal of the world, the hen is in the morning, and the rituals and music are broken.

But in European politics, there are countless queens, and there are countless examples of men condescending to them.

But don't think that the glory of the Victorian era is all the contributions of the Queen alone. In fact, historical records show that the Queen's husband, Prince Albert, is also a well-established politician.

While he was alive, he reformed the British education system, promoted the abolitionist movement around the world, and hosted the 1851 World Expo.

Prince Albert is a scholar-type politician, free, smart and studious, and his knowledge is far more profound than Queen Victoria. Many government documents that the queen has trouble reading are interpreted by the prince step by step.

It can be taken during the period when the Queen was studying to deal with national affairs in her twenties, and her husband was her best teacher. Later, when the Prince passed away, the Queen would cry and whisper whenever she encountered national affairs problems, "What will happen to my Albert be alive? How will he deal with this matter..."

There is nothing to say about the relationship between the couple, and the prince does not have too much ambition for power. He just supports her steadily behind the queen.

Victoria admired him extremely, and at home, his words were the law. The Queen taught her nine children that their father was the example of their human beings and the only one. There were several children who were not obedient, especially Edward VII, who later became a complete prodigal son. Victoria would blame them for their unworthy fathers rather than expressing grief to them.

After her husband's death, the queen was widowed all her life, and except for special celebrations, the queen lived in mourning clothes. Everything remained the same in the place where the prince lived.

The desk, bed, wardrobe that my husband used...even a towel was placed in the same way as he did before his death. The queen even wanted to erect a huge golden statue for her husband at Kensington Palace.

This shows the relationship between the couple, and Xiao Letian's knife hits the weak point!

The statue is more than one meter high and is carved from a whole piece of Hotan mutton fat jade. Its value is simply incalculable! In the Qing Dynasty, Hetian jade was controlled by the royal family, and mining was absolutely forbidden by the people.

Occasionally, small pieces of jade are secretly flowed to the people and it doesn't matter. Such huge jade with such good quality will end up being sent to the palace once it is discovered.

I still have to thank this war. If it weren't for the chaos in the Western Regions, if Zuo Zongtang hadn't led his troops into the Xinjiang region, it would have been difficult for Xiao Letian to get such a good piece of jade.

When the queen saw the familiar figure, she almost came up with a breath. The longing that had been suppressed for many years suddenly collapsed and almost fainted.

God knows how Xiao Letian chose the subject matter. This jade carving reflects the prince's in charge of power in the last few years.

His figure will always be frozen in front of the desk filled with various documents in Buckingham Palace. Under the green writing lamp, his body bent like a heavy sculpture.

His diligence in those last years was almost crazy. The green desk lamp was brighter and earlier, the correspondence became more and more extensive, and the newspapers were read as comprehensive as possible. The memos he had been insisting on became more and more meticulous, profound, incisive and lengthy, and all this almost swallowed him up.

In other words, he himself was like a hungry dragon, swallowing the increasing workload day and night but still feeling hungry.

Rather than saying that the prince died of illness due to wind and cold, it is better to say that he was exhausted and crushed to death by heavy pressure!

This jade carving vividly depicts the real scene of the diligent prince in the last part of his life, and the mother and son on the venue were immediately touched by tears.

Edward looked at his father's tears burst out, and the self-blame that tormented his heart from beginning to end, and his mother vented his father's death on him.

But why didn’t he take his anger on himself? If life could be repeated, he would never make such a choice!

The atmosphere at the scene became depressed, and countless guests were worried about Xiao Letian. God knew whether this gift angered the queen or could please the queen.

But seeing the queen fainting just now, Xiao Letian may be robbed of rice!

Benjamin's brain was running rapidly. He was guessing the queen's attitude towards this gift. Gradually, he had his own judgment in his heart.

"Prince Albert's death is a thorn in the hearts of the mother and son. Xiao Letian has definitely miscalculated this time! He tried to flatter the queen, but it was obvious that he had made a mistake..."

"Look at the jade carving theme chosen by Xiao Letian. This is the most exhausting and hardest scene before the prince's death. Will the saddest thorn in the queen's heart stir up like this?"

"Haha, I'm waiting to see you get unlucky. You're too smart!"

Sniffing salt was a must-have item for aristocratic women in the 19th century. In that era, women's clothes were tightly tied to their waists, and they could not breathe, and sometimes they even suffocate. At this time, they needed to refresh their minds and sniffing salt.

The queen does not have the hobby of wearing thin-waisted skirts, but she was very excited when she saw other husbands. She opened her eyes and pointed at Xiao Letian, "You...you..."

You spent a long time, and you couldn't say the second half!
