In the nine years that Palmerston has been "in love" with Palmerston (more about taking what he wants), she (referring to Palmerston) has long understood the "domineering" and "stubbornness" of the man in front of her, and never talking about politics with this man has become a "commandment" in Palmerston's heart.

Facing the silence of the box and the carriage that trembled slightly from time to time, Palmerston leaned against the back seat of the carriage, his eyes slowly closed and made a short rest.

For an old man over 60 years old, staying up late is really a physical thing, but the complicated diplomatic work and the summons of Prince Albert (Queen Victoria) are things he has to face.

Palmerston has reason to believe that Queen Victoria will not hesitate to oust him if his job is faced with a mistake.

At that time, I am afraid that Prime Minister Russell will be the first to attack him.

Thinking of Prime Minister Russell's tactics, Palmerston's eyes closed revealed a subtle disdain.

The Prime Minister did not understand the root cause of Britain's predicament, and the introduction of a ten-hour day in response to unemployment and the hasty establishment of a Public Health Commission in response to cholera were just proposals for a headache and a pain in the foot.

Although Palmerston had already planned a backstab to Prime Minister Russell, the current situation required the unlucky prime minister to carry the two thunders of unemployment and strike, and barely maintain the political operation of the cabinet was the best solution.

Palmerston pondered the questions that Princess Albert might have to ask, and how to deal with the difficulties that Queen Victoria might have to come.

The accident of 1839 disgusted the Queen,[1] and Palmerston came into contact with the Albert Prince, who was always guided by her own emotions and lost the proper manners of a statesman, while the Prince, a qualified politician.

……

The carriage walked slowly through James Park for almost 5 minutes to reach its destination.

The carriage slowly stopped in the open-air "parking lot" in front of the palace of Buckingham Palace, and the coachman in charge of driving the carriage called to Palmerston in the carriage respectfully: "Viscount (note 2), we have arrived!" ”

Palmerston opened his eyes and pushed the carriage door open with his wife.

At this time, a servant in a short Scottish skirt hurriedly ran out of Buckingham Palace. Brown.

"Mr. Brown!" Palmerston's slightly upturned head tapped like a dragonfly, and his mouth spoke the traditional Gaelic language of Scotland.

As the foreign minister, he knew that this vulgar guy in front of him was Prince Albert's henchman, and it would be beneficial for him to release some kindness to the servants around Albert's palace.

As Palmerston expected, John. Brown's body trembled slightly when he heard Palmerston greet him cordially in his native dialect.

Since serving as Prince Albert's butler, he hadn't heard "hometown dialect" for a long time.

The good impression of Palmerston also rose after Palmerston said "hometown dialect".

"Viscount Palmerston, the Queen and the Princess's husband are waiting for you in the restaurant!" Unlike the arrogance of Dr. James, for the politician Palmerston, John Palmerston. Brown showed due respect.

"How is the mood of the queen and the princess?" Palmerston tried to judge what kind of "fate" he was going to face today through the mood of the prince and the queen.

"The queen and the princess are in a good mood!" John. Brown's words were like a reassuring shot that took half of Palmerston's worries away.

In John. Led by Brown, Palmerston made it to the main hall of the Buckingham Palace restaurant.

The chandelier on the ceiling of the main hall illuminates the whole main hall, and below the chandelier is a long dining table made of nanmu, covered with a layer of pale yellow cloth, and on the top of the tablecloth is a porcelain plate carved with exquisite patterns from the East, the porcelain plate makes a pair of silver-plated tableware shine with closed eyes under the light of the ceiling chandelier, and under the silver-plated tableware is a white silk handkerchief, which guests can use to clean the residue from their mouths after enjoying the dinner. Next to the cutlery is a gilded candlestick lit with three candles.

The whole banquet revealed the beauty and luxury of the atmosphere, and the cost of the immediate arrangement alone was enough to make more than a dozen families in Britain, and a family of four, eat bread for a year.

And these arrangements are just minor embellishments.

As the ruler of a vast empire, these embellishments are also essential.

Queen Victoria sat in the center of the long dining table in her sumptuous court dress as usual, and Prince Albert also wore a bright red military uniform and a medal on his chest and sat opposite Queen Victoria.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness!" Palmerston and his wife saluted Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as they entered the restaurant.

"Chancellor Palmerston, you're here!" Prince Albert, who was in a good mood, smiled and said to Palmerston.

Queen Victoria didn't speak, but nodded, apparently still angry at Palmerston's rude behavior.

"Don't be inhibited, please sit down!" Prince Albert invited the Palmerstons to a seat.

Although Queen Victoria was the main character in the banquet, Palmerston knew that the real protagonist was Albert Prince.

Palmerston did not sit next to Queen Victoria, but sat to the left of Princess Albert, while his wife sat next to Queen Victoria.

When everything was ready, Prince Albert rushed to John who was standing at the door. Brown nodded, and John, who understood what the prince meant. Brown pulled out a tray with a bell on it. Brown gently shook the bell.

Two food trucks pushed to the restaurant at Buckingham Palace.

Caviar from the Russian Empire, foie gras and snails from France, and sirloin cut into small pieces...... in front of them.

PS: 1. In 1839, Palmerston married his wife, and in the same year, because he couldn't control his trouser belt, he had an affair with the maid of Windsor Castle.

2. Palmerston was granted the title of viscount, and until the law of universal suffrage was introduced, the right of Britain to vote in elections on the basis of tax payments remained in the hands of the nobles of the House of Lords, and without the disagreement of the majority in the House of Lords, the Cabinet would collapse.
