In the cheers of the British people, the Queen Mother got into the golden carriage arranged by the British royal family, of course, the local people may not be familiar with the Empress Dowager Cixi, so the corresponding greetings and cheers are perfunctory, but the Queen Mother doesn't care, she still looks at the scenery outside the carriage with joy, and even the huge chimney with black smoke in the distance is also quite interested.

There was a young man in the golden carriage, about thirty years old, with red hair, just beginning to grow a beard, wearing a red dress, a blue ribbon hanging diagonally, and a chest full of medals, he sat opposite the Empress Dowager Cixi, looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi very surprised, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, what is your first impression of London?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at the young man sitting in front of her, a few years younger than herself, this is the crown prince of the British Empire, the future Edward VII, the current Knight of the Guardian, the Prince of Wales, the Earl of Chester, the Duke of Cornwall, the Duke of Rottersee, and the Earl of Dublin. This title is really not inferior to the title of the Chinese emperor, the empress dowager secretly slandered, but her face was very happy, "Yes, His Royal Highness," although the empress dowager's English is very bad, but in this era of Chinese, may be considered outstanding, so in English, without the translation on the side to communicate, "London, the center of the world, the place where the industrial revolution began, where there is Shakespeare, how can it not be fascinating?" ”

Flattery is always a good way to win the favor of the master, and Edward smiled with satisfaction, "I hope the Queen Mother can have a good May in London." After saying this, the crown prince of the empire fell silent, and the queen mother was idle and bored, and decided to ask automatically, "When I was in India, I heard that His Royal Highness is very fond of horseback riding and yachting?" I also like these two things very much, it's easy to make people a rowing," the Queen Mother said an English stalk, but it is estimated that no one can understand at this point in time, "I can also ride a horse, but yachts, the prince should know that there are no yachts in China, so I hope the prince can take me to see the private collection of His Royal Highness the prince at a convenient time." ”

Edward's eyes lit up, and then darkened again, "Does the Queen Mother like it too?" I used to like, all these years, busy with my studies, and serving in the Royal Navy, these things have not been touched in a long time. ”

"People always have their own interests, right?" The Queen Mother's English words have basically finished showing, so she began to speak Chinese, but her hearing is still very good, so she can probably understand Edward's speech, the Queen Mother said with a smile, "In China, I also like to ride horses, of course, many ministers will feel that this is unseemly, but I don't care, Dante said, go your own way, let others say go!" ”

"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother actually knows Dante!" Edward was shocked, "God, you know a lot about the West. I was amazed at how much. ”

The Queen Mother winked mischievously, "Of course, this time I came to Europe to see what the Western world was like in the newspapers and books before, and I hope His Royal Highness the Prince can show me more at that time." ”

"Willing to serve Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother," Edward stroked his chest and bowed slightly, showing his respect for this Queen Mother, who was only the responsibility of his mother to ask him to travel to the crown prince, so he came to greet this Eastern Queen Mother who didn't know who it was.

After that, Edward was still silent, just a minister of the Privy Council was introducing the attractions passing by, and after a while, Downing Street arrived, Edward got off the carriage, and the gentleman stretched out his hand to the Queen Mother to get off the carriage, the Queen Mother was slightly stunned, and put her hand up without fear, other people were okay, Tang Wufu, who caught up and was ready to serve, was startled, and his eyes were about to pop out, fortunately, he also knew that this foreigner was the British Crown Prince, so he endured it, but he muttered in his heart," This British crown prince is really shameless! ~”

The Queen Mother got out of the carriage and bowed slightly, "Thank you." I wanted to say something, but the clicking sound that I remembered outside sounded continuously, and the Queen Mother turned her head and found that the street was already full of people, many of whom were taking pictures with cameras that would emit smoke. At this time, the Queen Mother's hand was still on Prince Edward's hand, the Queen Mother lowered her arm, turned around and posed with a generous smile, Gao Xinkui whispered to Tang Wufu in the distance, "Who can know that the Queen Mother is so calm and calm in the foreigners?" ”

There were a few reporters shouting something, but the Queen Mother didn't hear it very clearly, mainly because she didn't understand, it was best to pretend to be an idiot at this time, Edward quietly stepped aside, and the protocol guided the Queen Mother forward, "The Prime Minister is here." ”

In the middle of the crowd, on the steps stood an old man in a cyan velvet tuxedo, with gray hair, a Mediterranean hairstyle, hanging eyebrows, a huge hooked nose, piercing eyes, thin lips, and a serious pursed together, looking like a figure who was extremely difficult to speak.
