Fourth, the East Palace and the West Palace (4)

Edward closed his eyes tiredly, "yes, it's just that I still like to play freely for a few years, and my mother handles everything very well, so I don't need to worry about it." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Can I invite you to come to China at the right time?" The Empress Dowager Cixi shook Edward's hand, "I really hope you can come to China to see and take you to know the place where I live." ”

Edward got out of the carriage and naturally kissed the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother naturally accepted this kiss hand salute, looking at Edward's distant figure, the Queen Mother shook her hand, and always felt that the back of the hand that had been kissed was itchy, and sometimes she was stimulated by their beard, and goosebumps rose, "Yunxian, do you think I have gone too far." ”

Guo Songtao's body was excited, "It's not overdone, it's just the Queen Mother, there is no need for this, the friendship between the two countries still depends on interests." ”

"You are telling the truth," the Queen Mother said appreciatively, "but as long as Britain is still a monarchy, the king's private feelings must be grasped, first get the son, tomorrow and then the old lady, and then the prime minister, the leader of the Conservative Party, look, if you can do it, you can live!" ”

"If anyone says that the beauty plan is useless in the future, I will definitely spit on it!" Guo Songtao thought silently.

Edward's heart has always been depressed, his mother, the respected queen, blamed herself for the death of her husband, but why didn't she resent herself for so many years? The whole country seems to look down on itself, thinking that it is a prodigal, and the sense of rapport in front of this oriental woman, and understanding of one's own interests and hobbies, this feeling can hardly be found in anyone else except his wife.

Edward silently entered Buckingham Palace, walked to his mother's living room, and told his entourage that Edward walked to his mother's side, she was wearing a white silk tuft from the East, her upper body was tightly tightened, and she pulled her hair in a neat bun, she was looking at a photo album taken in the Scottish Highlands, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, there were deep nasolabial folds on her lips, she looked very serious, Edward bowed slightly, "Mom, I'm back." ”

"What kind of person is the Queen Mother from the East?" Queen Victoria put away the photo album and turned her head, staring at her eldest son with wise and indifferent eyes, "I will meet her tomorrow, and I hope there will be more unique and profound content besides the news from the Prime Minister." ”

Edward looked very cramped in front of his mother, and seemed a little restless, "Yes, she is a very strange woman, she speaks English, and she loves England very warmly, and she looks more like a woman in London, except for her oriental face." ”

"So, do you think she's harmless to the British Empire?"

"I don't know," said Edward, who seemed hesitant, "that China would be harmless if I found out in the course of my conversation with her." ”

Victoria had a look of disappointment in her eyes, the Cabinet hoped that this visit would be a success and that China would become her assistant in the Far East, but the Conservatives did not think so, she had to make a clear analysis to make her decisions wisest and most in line with the interests of the British Empire, while her own son could not rationally analyze these things and these people. I haven't told my son about these things, and I probably don't need to say them in the future.

Probably her son is like her husband, always so emotional, Queen Victoria sighed silently, "The Prime Minister means that there is no need to start a war, and to maintain our rule in the world through free trade, of course, this is a very good way, but the effect is very slow," Queen Victoria put the photo album aside, picked up the bone china cup and took a sip of tea, "Now the financial burden is very large, William is ready to implement compulsory education for all, this is an astronomical amount, we have to think of a way." ”

Edward listened silently, "The French are already very poor, their government is ready to pay the reparations to the Germans in advance, we can't have more benefits in Europe, Africa there, hey, forget it, don't talk about these things." Victoria shook her head, how could she be like the outside world said, an ordinary woman who misses her husband, thinking about the affairs of her own country, the door of the living room was gently opened, and a middle-aged man with a beard walked in, the man saluted the queen and Edward's chest, a smile appeared on the corner of Victoria's mouth, and said to Edward, "The task of receiving her tomorrow is entrusted to you, Eddie, I hope you can handle this matter well, this is my test for you, Seize this opportunity. ”

Edward got up silently, turned to go out, and the queen behind him said to the middle-aged man, "Brown, come and see, the last photo we took in the Scottish Highlands, is this deer particularly charming?" ”

Edward turned around, looked at the two people who were close to each other with a blank expression, and quietly closed the chestnut door to the living room. (To be continued.) )
