Chapter 313 Visiting Kensington Palace (2)
The two were chatting, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom was reflected in the gorgeous neon lights, and slowly drove into Kensington Gardens. The famous Kensington Palace was located on the side of the garden, which was the most beloved place of the British monarchs. The palace is also the former residence of Princess Diana. Prince Harry grew up here. However, the small-looking Nottingham Villa, located in front of Kensington, has a bit more leisurely country taste. Let me tell you more, Prince Harry’s future His married residence is Nottingham Villa, which is a bit shabby compared to his brother.
After being inspected by the royal guards at the entrance and their identities confirmed, they were released into the inner courtyard garden. William and his wife were already waiting on the steps. After Yang Cheng led Emma out of the car, they smiled and hugged Yang Cheng.
"You were much earlier than expected, which made me rush out to greet you." William and Emma exchanged a few words, then turned their heads and said to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng shrugged, "Who would have thought that Emma also lives in Kensington, which is very close to you, and our relationship is too polite?"
William patted Yang Cheng's shoulder, blinked his eyes, the meaning was self-evident, cleared his throat and invited, "Since you're here, don't be idle, let's show you around first."
William and Yang Cheng are in the front, while Emma and Princess Kate walk gracefully behind. Men and women chat with different concerns. Yang Cheng and William discuss the art collection in Kensington Palace, while Kate gossips about Ai As for the relationship between Ma and Yang Cheng, it was obvious that she was not clear about her husband's little thoughts.
"Emma, can I call you that?" Kate and Emma whispered, a few meters behind Yang Cheng and the others.
"Of course, Princess Kate." Emma was a little surprised at the princess's affinity. You must know that she met the prince and his wife for the first time at a charity party a few months ago, but at that time Princess Kate was just a nodding acquaintance to her, but Then he caught a glimpse of Yang Cheng in front of him and was relieved.
"Just call me Kate. I don't have many friends. We can have afternoon tea when we have a chance. I didn't expect you and Jason to have such a good relationship?" Kate looked at Emma and Yang Cheng with ambiguous eyes.
Emma was stunned, and replied with a wry smile, "It's not bad, but it's not the princess, oh, it's not the kind of relationship Kate thinks, we are not a couple."
This time it's Kate's turn to wonder, isn't her boyfriend and girlfriend Yang Cheng taking her to the prince's family dinner?
"I remember you guys had an affair."
Emma thought for a while, and said the truth, "Is there still not much scandal about Jason? This guy is a playboy, no woman can completely tie him up."
Kate nodded in agreement, "That's true, but you are not an ordinary person, Emma. You are so beautiful, and you match Jason very well. I think there are many people in the outside world who are optimistic about the combination of the two of you, right?"
"Actually, I have no plans to get married prematurely. I think my life is more comfortable, and I am not short of money. There is no need to marry into a wealthy family. It is not bad to keep the current relationship with Jason." Emma is very confident. Personality replied.
Yang Cheng, who was walking in front, didn't know that he had become the center of conversation between the two women. At this moment, he was very curious about everything in Kensington Palace. For some reason, although the decoration style was similar to Beihai Manor and Kensington Palace They are roughly the same, but the direct perception is quite different.
As soon as you walk into Kensington Palace, you will be greeted by that aristocratic atmosphere, and you will have the illusion of meeting a king who is not angry and majestic, but Beihai Manor has no such aura at all, it is just an ordinary house. Decorated in retro style.
"William, you are so unkind, why didn't you recommend a castle similar to Kensington Palace?" Yang Cheng complained angrily.
"What? Not satisfied with Beihai Manor?" William didn't understand the meaning of the question.
"No, the Beihai Manor is also very good, but it doesn't have the gorgeous and noble atmosphere of Kensington Palace, which makes outsiders daunted." Yang Cheng curled her lips and explained depressedly.
"Haha, it's not my fault, it's mainly because you don't know the history of Beihai Manor,
Back then, King William IV and his concubine purposely built the manor on the coast of the North Sea in order to find a place to live in a paradise. More from the perspective of comfort, the construction added many elements of life, after all They will not receive VIPs in their own homes, and there is no need to improve their dignity. "
William patted a bronze statue at the corner and continued, "After the death of King William IV, the princess specially planted the king's favorite tulips in the manor in memory of her late husband, making the manor more integrated with nature. The piece of flower field was later demolished by my grandmother, and it was too expensive to raise."
Yang Cheng nodded to express her understanding, and then asked, "Does Princess Diana also live here?"
William shook his head, "No, her residence is on the east side of the garden, which is the one on the left after you just entered the door. It is now transformed into a museum and will be open to the public regularly. Of course, I can also pass through it from here. I want to visit it. for a while?"
"Forget it, let's talk again when we have a chance, find a place to sit, we should talk about serious business."
"Go to the living room. Edmund is always on time. You have to wait ten minutes before the dinner starts."
William led a few people through the small, empty banquet hall. Yang Cheng was deeply impressed by the resplendent and magnificent palace style, and then passed through the King's Gallery, where a group of antiques collected by the royal family were displayed, with a dark red theme Above, there are priceless treasures full of traces of time, especially the painting on the facing wall, which made Yang Cheng stop and stand in front of the painting in a daze, frowning, unable to talk to himself for a long time.
Kate and Emma followed, and when they saw Yang Cheng standing still, they asked curiously, "Why did you stop here?"
William probably guessed something, and looked resentfully at Yang Cheng who was full of resentment.
"William, if you cry poor with me in the future, I will definitely give you a long middle finger." Yang Cheng looked at the red-striped woman and the lingering white swan in her arms in the painting, and said angrily.
Emma also stepped forward to admire the painting, but she didn't see any tricks. She asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? This painting is very special?"
It's okay not to say, this question completely aroused Yang Cheng's resentment, pointing to the painting and said to Emma, "Do you know what this painting is called? Who painted it?"
Emma shook her head decisively, this is not her field of expertise.
"Leda and the Swan"! The late work of Leonardo da Vinci! It is also one of the most cherished personal works of this legendary master. He always keeps it with him and never leaves his hand. Later, it is said that it was left in France, Louvre There is also the same painting in the palace, which can almost be mistaken for the real one, but the fake one is a fake after all, now it seems that rumors kill people!" Yang Cheng said rather melancholy.
William laughed and said, "I don't blame me for this. Since I was sensible, this painting has been hanging here. God knows what the people in the Louvre think, knowing who owns the painting, and displaying a fake painting to fool you." People!" He admitted in a disguised form that the painting in front of everyone is the authentic work of Leonardo da Vinci.
Yang Cheng was speechless. She knew that the Windsor family had a deep background, but no one knew how deep it was. MMP, without such a bullying, authentic Da Vinci work worth hundreds of millions of dollars, that's all. Hanging on the wall without protection, you are not afraid of cracks caused by the wind and the sun, and eventually it cannot be repaired, destroying a famous painting for nothing?
Forget it, unable to complain, he suddenly felt that those so-called rich people bought two servings of soy milk and drank one and poured another, how low-key the behavior is, this tm is the real aristocrat, luxurious and dignified everywhere in a low-key way!
