Chapter 187 Revisiting Buckingham Palace
When the monk met Samode in West Africa and was preparing for a series of follow-up plans, Li Zitao and Adelaide were sitting in the reception room of Buckingham Palace.
"Is the layout here a little too monotonous?" Li Zitao leaned on the sofa, looking casually at the surrounding layout.
Except for some trimmed flower arrangements and various oil paintings hanging on the walls, the most eye-catching thing in the reception room is only the two portraits hanging in the middle.
The future is defined as George V, the founder of the Windsor dynasty, and his beloved wife, Queen Mary.
"This is Buckingham Palace." Adelaide said quite proudly.
In Buckingham Palace, the four characters of light represent everything, where extra embellishments are needed.
"His Royal Highness is here." The guards shouted loudly from behind. If the voice had been sharper, Li Zitao would have thought he had entered the palace!
"Your Highness." Adelaide held up her skirt and made a standard curtsy.
Li Zitao also put his right fist on his heart, bowed his head and saluted, and said calmly, "Your Highness."
"Welcome to Buckingham Palace as guests, let's sit down and talk." Queen Mary's voice was full of affinity, and people couldn't help but feel good about her.
"His Royal Highness is here." At this moment, a more high-pitched and passionate voice sounded.
Queen Mary hurried forward a few steps and stood on the other side of Adelaide, bowing her head and kneeling, waiting for the arrival of her husband, the greatest ruler of this country.
"Mmp~ can't we come together? What kind of royal airs?" Li Zitao criticized in his heart, but had to bow his head.
The situation is stronger than people, so you should bow your head or bow your head.
When the predecessors who traveled through various paths in history arrived in ancient times, they first emphasized that they kneel to the sky and kneel to their parents, and the king does not worship.
Then if you use it casually, the emperor will give you all kinds of gifts, and you will not worship them in the palace!
Li Zitao sighed.
In history, except for the Tang Dynasty, which was not popular to kneel and worship, you can try it in other eras.
Do you know how great a gift it is if you don't worship the king?
The world is so big, except for those who have worked hard and made great achievements, who have been crowned kings and worshiped ministers, or who have been veterans of several dynasties, who are more than half a year old, who is qualified to see the king and not worship?
You have so much ability, I have to pull it down for you.
Contempt for the imperial power is a serious crime that ranges from beheading all the families at the slightest to implicating others at the severest level.
"It's a good thing I didn't go to ancient times, otherwise I would kneel here and there all the time, and this knee would really suffer." Li Zitao muttered to himself.
"Sasha, you haven't come for a long time." A thick male voice sounded, and he rolled his eyes at Adelaide, who was kneeling, and Li Zitao raised his head when he saw her get up.
"Your Highness, Charlie and I are flattered that you came to meet us in your busy schedule." Adelaide began to speak in an official tone.
Li Zitao was standing next to him, keeping a smile on his face, acting as a qualified background wall.
"Haha, Sasha, you used to pee on my legs, when did you become so restrained?"
George V revealed history with one mouthful, and Li Zitao couldn't stop laughing to himself when he found Adelaide's face full of embarrassment.
"This is your beloved Charlie, who looks very strong." George V turned his eyes and put the topic on Li Zitao.
"Yes, Your Highness, I always keep enough exercise." Li Zitao was cautious in his words and deeds, and listened more than he said. He still had a lot to learn.
He still doesn't know many rules in the West. If he accidentally mentions some embarrassing topics, won't his favorability drop below freezing point?
"Let's sit together!" George V took the lead to walk to the sofa.
"Prepare tea and snacks." Queen Mary then ordered the maid beside her to prepare.
"The fact that what happened to you before is too bad. The United States, which always claims to be free, does not seem to be as great as people boast."
Li Zitao pondered for a moment, then said: "This world will always have two sides, just like day and night."
I don't know if Wanjinyou's answer will satisfy the other party, but at least it won't cause trouble for myself.
Don't think that the conversation in the royal family will not go out,
Having just avoided trouble with Adelaide's help, Li Zitao didn't want to ask for trouble.
"Well, do you still need to face a hearing next?" George V.
"It depends on the ruling of the parliament and the court. As long as it is a fair and open investigation, I will have no fear!" Li Zitao smiled.
Hearings are nothing more than a time-wasting gimmick.
If someone wants to play this trick, Li Zitao doesn't mind taking the time to be patient with him.
I just don't know if they can bear it, hehe...
"I like people who are brave enough to face it. I hate those young people who are always complaining. Charlie, you are as brave as me, haha..."
George V watched him laugh out loud, and the hearty laughter echoed in the living room, making the servants and guards around him relax.
"How are your preparations for the engagement ceremony going? Mary will help you if needed."
The king's thoughts were too out of bounds, and the subject of the conversation turned back and forth, which made Li Zitao look confused.
On the contrary, Adelaide was very indifferent, took up the topic freely, and had a passionate conversation with her godfather and godmother.
George V only stayed for about 10 minutes before and after, and left the drawing room after drinking a cup of tea.
Just before leaving, he patted Li Zitao on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Country Y is a country full of charm, let Sasha show you around."
"Your Highness, Charlie previously bought the suspended cruise ship from John Brown Shipyard. It would be our honor to sign it with your name."
"That's really great. On the day of launching, I will go to watch the ceremony in person." The joy on Queen Mary's brows was not fake.
The luxury cruise ship that was originally scheduled to be signed with my name was suddenly bought by someone. It would be a lie to say that it was not lost.
After all, according to the estimated construction plan, it will become the fastest luxury cruise ship in the world when it is launched.
The Queen Mary, how delightful that sounds.
When it was almost noon, Adelaide got up to say goodbye, and Queen Mary took her hand and said softly, "I wish you could stay here for a while longer."
"Charlie and I will come to Buckingham Palace to see you again after we go home to see our mother." Adelaide said politely.
After leaving the palace under the escort of the guards, Li Zitao had the opportunity to express the question in his heart: "Do you understand what His Royal Highness means?"
"Your industry provides tens of thousands of jobs in the United States, maybe you should relax some options appropriately." Adelaide smiled while holding his hand.
"Got it." It was an invitation to enter the European market.
My own people are different, and I just opened the door to him just now.
"I like this feeling. Maybe we should provide some necessary sponsorship to the Royal Academy in your name." Li Zitao laughed.
"My dear, you have become more attractive." Adelaide said coquettishly.
After laughing and opening the car door, the gentleman invited Adelaide into the car, and the tacit understanding between the two became more and more in tune.
