Prince William's dinner was held in the side room of Buckingham Palace, which was also Queen Elizabeth II's private dining room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tang Hao followed a group of knights and ambassadors into Buckingham Palace.

Walking down the aisle, you can see hanging crystal chandeliers, the resplendent decorations show the extravagant side of the royal family, and up the stairs, the walls are hung with oil paintings, all of which are famous works by European painting masters, each of which is worth a fortune.

On the second floor, you can see some windows with collections, and there are many treasures inside, and when you walk through this section, you even feel like you have stepped into the British Museum.

"This palace is really a bit luxurious. Along the way, Zhuang Jiajie couldn't help but whisper.

"The British have been colonizers for hundreds of years, and things must be indispensable. Tang Hao said lightly.

"Yes, when I first went up to the second floor, I saw a porcelain, which looked like something from our Song Dynasty. Zhuang Jiajie nodded and said.

As the two men spoke, they had reached the end of the aisle, and after turning another corner, the leading guard did not go any further, but stood to the left and right of the doorway.

It seems that the room behind the guards should be the queen's private dining room.

Duke Campbell was the first to enter the room, and a group of knights and ambassadors entered one after another, Tang Hao and Zhuang Jiajie were the last to enter.

Inside is a white style restaurant, about more than 100 square meters, majestic, but compared with the luxury outside, the inside seems much more simple, except for some necessary framing and the long table in the center of the restaurant, there is not much luxury decoration.

It is rumored that the current Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom lives a simple life, and it seems that it is not completely groundless.

After the people were seated, the knights and the ambassadors began to talk to each other, and Tang Hao and Zhuang Jiajie sat at the end of the restaurant, feeling lonely.

After waiting for about half an hour, the wall facing the dining table suddenly rose up.

It wasn't until then that Tang Hao noticed that it wasn't really a wall, but a wooden door.

The door was fully raised, and three people came out from behind.

Prince William, the prince's girlfriend Kate Middleton, and Elizabeth II.

"Your Majesty!" When he saw Elizabeth II appear, Duke Campbell looked very excited and stood up and bowed.

Campbell was like this, and the others were shocked, they were just invited by the prince to the dinner, but they didn't expect to be able to see Elizabeth II, and they also got up and bowed.

Tang Hao also glanced at the Queen of England at this time.

Although he is over ninety years old, and his face is full of wrinkles, he still looks bright, and he is looking at everyone with peaceful eyes.

The others had a look of deference in their eyes, the queen had long since been in business, and for many of them, this was the first and probably the only time they had seen the queen.

Tang Hao didn't feel much of it, and after bowing politely, he just looked at the queen calmly.

But perhaps it was this different gaze from the others that attracted extra attention, and Elizabeth II stared at him for about four or five seconds before turning her head away.

"Don't be too restrained, I just haven't seen my little William in a while. When she was seated, Elizabeth II said in a calm tone, although she was over ninety years old, she still looked healthy and well-pampered by her pampered life.

"Everyone let go of eating, and today accompanied me for a day, and I believe you are also hungry. Prince William let go and said with a smile.

"It is an honour to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince. Count Louis said at the right time.

The others also spoke politely.

Elizabeth II nodded frequently, turned to Prince William with a smile and said, "William, don't you want to introduce your friends to me?"

"Oh, I almost forgot. Prince William patted his head, pointed at Campbell and said, "This is Duke Campbell, he is the 13th Duke of Argyll." ”

"It's little Toyi, I remember the last time I saw him, he was a teenager with Jenny (Campbell's mother), and I didn't expect him to be so old now. Elizabeth II nodded.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to remember me. Campbell was a little excited, the duke is also hierarchical, like him, basically outside the right, to be remembered by Elizabeth II, it is indeed a rare thing.

"This is Count Louis, he's ......," Prince William continued.

Elizabeth II just smiled and nodded this time.

It was impossible for Prince William to really introduce everyone present, and after ordering a few major earls, the marquis and ambassadors were brought over in general.

But when he introduced it, when his eyes swept to Tang Hao, there was a burst of excitement in his eyes, and then he said: "This is Tang from China, his archery skills are very good, Your Majesty, you don't know, he ......"

Prince William recounted with great interest what had happened in the afternoon.

Elizabeth II already had a little extra impression of Tang Hao, and listening to Prince William's enthusiastic introduction, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at this Chinese.

"Your Majesty, it's a shame you didn't see the show. In the end, Prince William's tone revealed a hint of regret.

Hearing such a high evaluation of Prince William, Campbell couldn't help but feel a little painful, and then said: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, in fact, there are many archery geniuses in our country, and there is a child named Alan Covington who is performing with him today, he is just an ordinary country boy. ”

"Duke Campbell has a point, our country is still full of talent. Count Louis chimed in.

In fact, Alan Covington can still shoot arrows blindfolded, but he hasn't had time to show it because of time constraints. Campbell continued.

"Blindfolded archery?" As soon as he heard something new, Prince William became very curious again.

"Yes, I will definitely show him to Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince next time I have the chance. Campbell said with a smile.

"Okay, good!" Prince William's attention had already been taken away from Tang Hao.

Zhuang Jiajie frowned at this time.

Tang Hao looked indifferent, and when they were discussing enthusiastically, he picked up the silver wine glass in front of him and drank all the wine in the cup.

He didn't want to be in the limelight, and the performance in the afternoon was purely because he was cheated, and as for what was in front of him, he wasn't too interested.

"In fact, there is a lot of luck in the long-distance archery performance, so His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't have to pay too much attention to it, and the next time Covington performs blindfolded archery, that is the real archery art. ”

But at this moment, Count Campbell's words made him frown.

"That's right, Your Royal Highness, modern archery originated in our British Empire, the Chinese, it's just imitation. Count Louis chimed in.

"Count Louis, pay attention to your words!" At this moment, Liu Xiaoming couldn't listen anymore, and directly interrupted Count Louis's words.
