【1297 Invitation from St. James' Palace】

After contradicting Queen Victoria of England, Emperor Hua did not say anything more, and ate quietly and left.

Princess Katrina Kaifu held hands with Emperor Hua. What Princess Katrina Kaifu wanted to say, but she didn't want to say it here. The cute CEO looked calm. After just explaining two amazing combat plans with Princess Katrina Kaifu, Emperor Hua had actually made up his mind to fight against Britain and France. The reason why he contradicted the Queen of England on such an important occasion can be regarded as the first step taken by Emperor Hua.

Emperor Hua and Princess Katrina Kaif followed several diplomatic secretaries. Just as everyone left Buckingham Palace, two British royal officials quickly came over, as if there was something to catch up with Emperor Hua and said, "His Majesty Emperor Hua, please wait."

The cute president stood still, and a diplomatic secretary beside him asked, "What's the matter?"

"That's right. Our Queen wants to invite Emperor Hua to live in St James' Palace. I wonder if His Majesty is willing?" One of the British royal officials asked politely.

Emperor Hua smiled slightly, "We are leaving Britain in the past two days, so we are too lazy to move around."

The British royal official seemed to have guessed that the Emperor would say this long ago, and still smiled, "Dear Your Majesty, please understand the difficulties of our staff below and arrange for temporary residence in St. James' Palace. This is a treatment only for the royal family, the European close relative of the British royal family. The British Empire just wants to express respect for China and His Majesty the Emperor."

The cute CEO thought about it and said that if he didn't go, he might give the British people a clear conscience and said that he was pretending to be a big brand or something. Since it was not good to go or not, it would be better to go. "If this happens, please thank Her Majesty the Queen on his behalf."

"This is great, thank you, Your Majesty." The two British royal officials bowed their heads and saluted.

"I actually invited us to stay in St. James' Palace? What the hell are the British? It's too late to pretend, right?" Princess Katrina Kaif asked Emperor Hua in confusion, "Your Majesty, do you think they have realized something? Or do they want to ease their relationship with us?"

Emperor Hua smiled indifferently and said, "Don't think so much, just give some instructions. Besides, they will not lose anything when they live in their palace. At most, they are just a high-end hotel. If they really want to ease the relationship, now they should be the Queen of England, the Crown Prince, or the British Prime Minister. They will have an appointment with us to talk alone."

Princess Katrina Kaif nodded, "Well, it seems that she is just a polite approach. I guess they are afraid of another assassination. In that case, their British face will be even more unsatisfied."

"I guess they knew before that the British and French radicals would be assassinated this time, but they didn't expect the scale to be so large. As for whether they realized that I was going to attack them, this is actually not important. Next, it's the most important moment of this European visit!" Emperor Hua's eyes showed great perseverance.

Princess Katrina Kaifu didn't understand the most important moment of Emperor Hua's visit to Europe. What does this sentence mean, but Princess Katrina Kaifu knew that whenever Emperor Hua spoke with such eyes, she would make sure that Emperor Hua had completely made up his mind.

Princess Katrina Kafu also gave up the idea of ​​persuading Emperor Hua. The country is the country of Emperor Hua and the emperor is the master of China. If China has to obey the following opinions in everything, then China may not be established now. However, Princess Katrina Kafu does not want to persuade Emperor Hua, which does not mean that she thinks that Emperor Hua has the slightest chance to win. She can only worry silently.

St James' Palace is one of the oldest palaces in London. It is located in Pamore, St James' District, just north of St James' Park.

Although the British monarch has not lived here for nearly a century, it is still a legal residence owned by the royal family and is more of a royal palace with the highest standards in the UK.

For this reason, St. James's Palace was used by the British royal family as an important court, and its official name is the Court of St. James's.

Since 1714, the first three emperors of the Hanover dynasty (George I, George II and George III) used the Palace of St. James as their main residence when they were in London, although it was much more gorgeous than the magnificent palaces of other continents of Europe at that time, such as Versailles, Schonbrunn or Worry-free Palaces; so much so that the novelist Daniel Defoe jokingly called it "short and ordinary" in 1725.

In 1809, a fire destroyed part of the palace, including some of the king's private apartments in the southeast. These apartments were not rebuilt after the fire, making the part leading to the Queen's Chapel empty, and now only one Morborough Road connects the two buildings.

In 1762, George III bought the Buckingham Mansion (the predecessor of Buckingham Palace) for his queen, which caused the importance of St. James' Palace to decline in the first half of the 19th century, and began to be used more and more only for some formal occasions, such as important official banquets, royal weddings and baptism ceremonies.

Finally, Queen Victoria decided to officially move out of St James' Palace in 1837 to end its legal royal residence.

After the London fire, St James' Palace was handed over to the renovation works by architects Sir Christopher Rennes and William Kent. They retained a small number of internal structural components and interior decoration, but the existing appearance was mainly renovated in the 19th century.

Aesthetician William Morris and his company were also commissioned to renovate the armory and tapestries in the palace between 1866 and 1867.

St James' Palace is still an operating royal palace and a formal court with legal status. Therefore, foreign ambassadors will still accept the official recognition and appointment of the British monarch here, although they will be received at Buckingham Palace to meet the royal family before this.

The British royal family arranged for the Emperor to live in the York Pavilion, and the Emperor also became the only diplomatic guest who lived in the St. James Palace this time. It was also the first time in British history that the head of state outside Europe had moved into the St. James Palace.

The purpose of British Queen Victoria and British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraelli's main purpose is to minimize the influence of the assassination of the Emperor in London.

In fact, before the founding of China, the Emperor of China did not have a very bad impression of the British. Britain was not a very aggressive country. Although it had developed colonies around the world, most of them were unlimited lands, and few directly invaded other countries and turned them into colonies. The entire policy was still moderate. It was not until the past decade that after the Prime Minister Benjamin Disraelli, who was keen on colonial expansion, that Britain's colonial policies around the world became increasingly tougher, especially against non-European countries.

When Emperor Hua returned to the inn, it was already half an afternoon. When everyone saw Emperor Hua's convoy and hurried out to greet him.

The cute president got off the car with a relaxed look and said with a smile: "I haven't gone far away, I've just walked for a while. Why are you waiting to pick me up?"

"Your Majesty." Jie Ge Ge was coquettish and leaned against Emperor Hua.

The cute CEO patted Prince Jie's little hand, "How is it? I took a break, do you feel better now?"

"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about Your Majesty, these damn people." Jie Ge Ge said angrily.

Emperor Hua smiled at everyone and said, "Go in and sit for a while, and have someone clean up. When the British royal officials will come to pick us up to St. James's Palace."

"Go to St James' Palace?" Catherine widened her beautiful eyes, "Isn't that the palace of the British royal family? They treated us with such high standards? Humph, I must have wanted to cover up something."

Emperor Hua smiled and looked at Catherine and thought to himself, Catherine was angry for me? In fact, he probably knew a little about how Katherine was treating him.
