Chapter 404 Lived in Buckingham Palace
Drowsiness invaded him.
Before he had time to feel the street scene of downtown London, Han Xuan had already fallen asleep.
A convoy of five cars drove down the empty street, and at this time only the homeless and the drunks who went to the bar at night were still outside.
The corpse picker tried to take away a young girl sitting on the porch, but the girl unconsciously followed the other girl.
The sky already had a faint layer of whiteness.
Through the tall buildings, you can see a red arc glowing in the eastern sky, and the driver dozed off, finding that he was too close to the car in front of him, and slowed down a little.
The British are not as industrious as the Chinese vendors, and you should be able to see the breakfast shop at five o'clock in the morning, but it is quiet.
Han Xuan's good dream didn't last long.
He slept lightly in the bumpy car, and Princess Dai Nina was still snoring beside him, not loud, but enough to wake him up.
Unveiling the royal dignity, she is also a living person, Han Xuan looked at Diana and thought that her luxurious life could be enjoyed by herself, but freedom was lost by these people.
Adolf's butler wouldn't change the itinerary on his own initiative, it should be the old man who asked him to figure out why this happened, but the addition of this trip might be more interesting.
Looking out the window, the scene was a park, and when I saw the street sign, I knew it was called James Park, the trees on both sides of the road were tall and straight, and the Maybach car was moving with its back to the direction of the rising sun, and after a while, an iron gate appeared in front of me.
The soldiers of the Guards stood motionless, and one of them had closed his eyes, and his head was little by little, and if it were not for the support of the spear in his hand, he would definitely fall.
Funny black hat and red dress, black leggings tucked up on the legs.
This thin layer of walls served as a defense. Separating the palace from the outside world always feels like it's not strong enough.
Buckingham Palace has been a royal palace since Queen Victoria's accession to the throne in 1837 and remains Queen Elizabeth's royal residence.
The Queen's summoning of prime ministers and ministers, the reception and banquet of foreign guests, and other important diplomatic events are held here.
This palace has been run by the royal family for more than a hundred years. The exterior is already very shabby, typical of neoclassical style, and the main building has five floors.
Compared with the Forbidden City of the Chinese Emperor, the small family spirit suddenly became prominent.
It's just on the side of the road, like an ordinary palace, and the old man's Beverly Hills villa has a big garden, which is not here.
"Disappointed?"
As soon as the car stopped, Princess Diana woke up, and she didn't see that the boy had the envious expression of ordinary people. It seems like I'm just looking at the building.
"Fortunately, it's smaller than I imagined, it should be built in a super large garden, I didn't expect it to be in the city, there are so many roads next to it, and the sound of cars is not noisy?"
Han Xuan knew that he had been caught, and the praise against his will made Princess Diana look down on him, but it was better to tell the truth.
In fact, Diana didn't like it either. Taking advantage of the time when the doorman opened the door, he said: "Two years ago, Windsor Castle caught fire, in order to raise funds for reconstruction. The Queen's decision to open Buckingham Palace in the summer and autumn since last year has made it even more noisy for tourists to charge for admission to visit.
In fact, the funds for the reconstruction of Windsor Castle have long been sufficient, but the activity is profitable, and they are ready to keep the project, which will be crowded in three hours. ”
Han Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked her: "The royal family is short of money, what about so many collections and jewelry?"
"We only have the right to use it. You need to agree to sell paintings, and you need to agree to donate them, and I spend more than 10,000 pounds a month, so I might as well be you, right?"
Diana saw that he was a child, and he had nothing to say unscrupulously. Disdain is written on the face, "The royal family is like an animal in a zoo, it can only be visited, and I have to be careful when I go to take care of my hair." ”
Han Xuan wanted to laugh but couldn't, his stomach hurt, and he was thinking about what kind of lie to skip the topic, when the car door was opened.
Jason and the others were surrounded by a number of soldiers, who were helplessly putting their weapons in the basket.
Anthony walked up to Han Xuan and asked in a low voice, "What now?"
I asked the people from Aston Martin Motors to go back first, and they had a welcome ceremony for us today. ”
"Let's take a look first, the princess invited me, if not, I'll stay here for a long time, and find a reason to run away after lunch. ”
Anthony looked up at Buckingham Palace in front of him and nodded: "Well, I'll go talk to the people in Ford and I'll go over in the evening."
After registering, walk into the palace.
Princess Diana looked at these guys who seemed to be traveling, obviously a little impatient, and forced her temperament to be amiable and said: "I asked someone to prepare a room for you, you are tired all the way, you can go and rest for a while." ”
Han Xuan looked at the man-made landscape and was fascinated, and subconsciously prepared to refuse, saying that he was not tired, but when he saw Princess Diana staring at him, the words became again: "Okay, thank you." ”
Arranging for two old housekeepers to take them over, Princess Diana continued: "It's time for my two sons to get up, and they won't see me crying.
I'm going to take care of them first, and I'll show you around when I'm done, sorry. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Anthony said hurriedly.
The old housekeeper was about to let the bodyguards rest, but seeing that the princess didn't mention it, he didn't talk about it, and stretched out his hand and said, "Please go this way." ”
There are many signage in many languages and should be for tourists.
Not far from the inside, there is a sign that tourists stop, huge crystal chandeliers, yellowish lights, illuminating the entire passage brilliantly.
There are various sculptures and paintings on both sides, and through the open door, you can see the luxurious decoration of the room, and a long table can seat at least fifty people.
Han Xuan didn't expect that Buckingham Palace was in tatters, and it was so extravagant that a country spent a hundred years to build a palace that really couldn't be underestimated, and the architectural achievements of the entire West were integrated here.
The gilded staircase with intricate patterns, the more than a hundred five-story marble columns, and the secret curse that the appearance is all for ordinary people to see, how much does it cost to make it like this.
"Corrupt, absolutely corrupt"
Muttering in Chinese that the butlers didn't hear clearly, one of them whispered, "Sorry, what did you say?"
"I'm complimenting Buckingham Palace on its beauty. ”
Han Xuan's smile was innocent.
The old butler also laughed, he had investigated the identity of the boy before, and there were many rich people who had visited here before, but not many came in with personal connections, especially Princess Diana.
The help said: "The place we are walking now is the main palace, and there are more than 600 halls and rooms in the whole complex, such as the ceremony hall, the concert hall, the banquet hall, and the gallery, and it takes two days to visit them all.
The queen went to Switzerland yesterday for a visit and was not in the palace, otherwise it would have been possible to have breakfast with her.
Your room is on the third floor, and there will be someone to bring breakfast to you at half past seven, so if you want to visit, you can directly let the waiter lead you, and there will be trouble when you go to some places, so it is recommended that you don't ......walk around alone." )
