Chapter 354: Clarence Palace



As for how to play it differently.

Haha...Aren’t Koreans’ current behavior just undermining the Americans?

Although it sounds hypocritical, it is of this nature. Alan is going to give them a push to make this matter more influential.

Don’t you like to show off?

Then let me help you.

To fulfill your Korean dream of showing off, you can show off even more. How does the saying go?

When you give someone a rose, the fragrance lingers on your hands; do good deeds without leaving a name!

Master Allen is so enthusiastic.

Alan ran back and forth from Carmarthen to Llanelli twice in the afternoon, didn't even drink a sip of water in the cafe, and didn't eat much on the way, so he was really hungry.

Alan quickly finished two grilled steaks.

Kate Winslet sat opposite Allen with her chin on her hand, watching Allen eat. While Allen was eating, she looked at Allen and smiled, as if she was eating too.

Alan couldn't stand being stared at so lovingly all the time, especially when he was eating.

"What's going on?"

He always felt that Kate seemed to have changed a little, but Alan couldn't tell what the change was.

Kate blinked, looked at Alan and smiled, without saying anything, but since Alan had an opinion, she stood up and said, "Then I'll go take a shower first, I'll wait for you in the room."

"???"

What's wrong with you today? Why are you so proactive?

A short absence makes the heart grow fonder?

Watching Kate skipping away, Alan finished the last piece of steak, drank a little bit of wine, and then ate a few slices of orange to relieve the greasiness.

Looks like I can have fun tonight.

What is the best state for stockings?

Not when they are packed in packaging bags, nor when they are worn on beautiful women.

Instead, it is tightly wrapped around the legs. With just a light hook of your fingers, you can easily roll up the edges and then slide down along the legs without any obstruction.

Kate changed into Alan's favorite style of stockings, and Alan had no time to play.

As soon as he put on this pair of burgundy stockings today, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Let's get to the point quickly. There's no need to play around with the funky stuff today. Master Alan is a down-to-earth man. He likes to get straight to the point and not do anything else.

Alan used to like touching Kate's little belly, the kind with a little fat, soft and really fun to touch. But Kate is thinner now and her little belly is gone, which is a pity.

Fortunately, Alan doesn't have to think about anything else today.

Born in 1975, she only met Allen last year, which was 1991...

Because they are young and curious about everything, the two haven't seen each other recently. This time, Alan asked Xiao Shitou to call Kate and make an appointment. In fact, Kate is more enthusiastic than Alan.

She was a little anxious...

But once they met, the two of them were more anxious than each other.

I can hardly breathe.

Although he stayed up until one o'clock last night, Alan woke up naturally at around seven o'clock the next morning.

I don’t know why, maybe it’s because I haven’t stayed here often enough and I’m used to my bed.

Anyway, Alan didn't sleep until nine o'clock like he usually did.

After getting up, Alan, who had nothing to do, prepared to take a walk around the House of Lords to see if there was anything fun in the House of Lords today.

It has been more than a month since the opening of this year's Congress, and he has not yet attended a meeting. To be honest, it has been a long time since he came, and I even miss him a little.

Just after putting on the red congressman's robe, Xiao Shitou hurried in with a cell phone in hand.

"Master...Butler Hu Te called from home."

"What's wrong?"

Alan stretched his arms out and admired his new clothes in the mirror.

Last year, the House of Lords took advantage of the year-end recess to do some simple maintenance. It is said that many old-style seats were re-filled with sponge pads, and then... In the past, people could wear suits to the House of Lords to watch people quarreling, but now it is no longer possible.

After all, we have the Internet now. It is said that in the future we will take some photos of the House of Lords and publish them from time to time to give the public more right to know.

As a result, if you want to attend a meeting in the House of Lords in the future, you will have to dress more formally and must wear the uniform robes of noble members.

This thing looks like a monk's robe, a large red robe with gold edges, which looks very funny when worn.

"Butler Capel called home and said His Highness wanted to see you. Butler Huth said you were in London and His Highness asked you to meet him at the palace."

"???"

Calling so early?

Alan deliberately looked up at the clock next to him. It was not yet eight o'clock.

"What happened?"

Alan himself didn't believe that he had come to find him so early and nothing had happened.

"I don't know."

Xiao Shitou looked confused. They had arrived in London last night but hadn't left the house yet, and there was no news on TV.

"Where's today's newspaper? Bring it here so I can have a look. Oh, and by the way...did His Highness tell me when I should come over?"

"Butler Capel said the sooner the better. His Highness is waiting for you."

"Okay, go get the newspaper."

Alan twisted his neck. Was he being too eager?

I was originally planning to take a stroll around the House of Lords, but... I can't go now.

While Xiao Shitou went to get the newspaper, Alan urged the servant to find him a set of formal clothes to change into.

"During my visit, I relied on the phone every night to express my longing for you. What was the wall separating us from? "

Sitting in the car on the way to downtown London, Alan finally figured out why Boss Cha was so anxious to find him.

What is the headline in the newspaper today?

Someone actually revealed the inside story that during Boss Cha's recent visit to India, he called Karami every night.

There are even detailed recordings!

This is much more serious than the last news.

The last gossip did not mention any names, it just showed a photo of Boss Cha to make insinuations, but this time the name is mentioned!

There are all kinds of speculations in the newspapers.

At that time, Boss Cha brought Diana with him on the visit.

The newspapers speculated whether the conflict between the two of them had reached an irreconcilable point. To the extent that even with Diana by his side, Boss Cha would have to call Karami who was far away in England every night?

Looking at the newspaper, Alan tightened his grip around the newspaper.

This recording definitely would not have been leaked by the hotel. No matter how bad the Indians are, they still have some ethics. Besides, Alan is no pushover, so he still has some sense of precaution.

But if it wasn't revealed by Boss Cha, the result would be predictable.

This matter was originally very secretive, as it was just the two of them talking on the phone. Since it was not about investigating the boss's problems, the source of the tape reported in the newspaper today is very interesting.

Alan closed the newspaper and sneered.

"They are really looking for death... They are all troublesome."

No matter what the newspapers speculated, Allen could tell at a glance who leaked the tape. If even Allen could tell, Boss Cha would definitely be able to tell as well.

Others have their flags flying at home and colorful flags fluttering outside.

He is so good, the flag at home has fallen, and the colorful flags outside are flying randomly...

This matter would be a headache for anyone.

These two troublesome women can torture a man to death with the way they play. This is only because Boss Cha is too careless. If it were someone with a weaker tolerance, he would have been angry to death long ago.

Now that he knew what had happened, Alan was no longer in a hurry. He slowly lit a cigarette for himself and thought about how to face Boss Cha later.

Boss Cha must be so angry now. If he wants to say something, there is probably no one to talk to.

He could think of me in London and even called me so early in the morning to ask me to come over from Carmarthen to accompany him. It is conceivable how angry Boss Cha is now.

Fortunately, I was smart last night and took the opportunity to visit London Kate.

Hey...is this girl Kate bringing good luck to herself?

Alan suddenly thought of Kate who was still asleep and couldn't help laughing.

Clarence House, in theory, was originally a ducal residence built by George III for his son, the Duke of Clarence.

But later, when the Duke of Clarence's brother George IV died, he naturally succeeded his brother and ascended the throne. He was later known as William IV.

Then... starting from William IV, Clarence House became the royal residence of successive Princes of Wales, which can be understood as the Crown Prince's East Palace.

William IV was rather mediocre, a reckless man, and not very good at civil governance. In addition, Britain was in a period of reform at the time, and ministers had more power. The monarchs were almost all figureheads, so... William IV was not well-known and was a monarch who was easily overlooked in British history.

But his successor was his niece, the famous Queen Victoria.

It is Queen Victoria who is known as the grandmother of Europe.

Starting from Queen Victoria, after her son, Edward VII, was crowned Prince of Wales, Clarence House became the exclusive palace of the Prince of Wales.

Edward VII, the Tsar and the German Emperor are all cousins.

What’s interesting is that when the three of them stand together, they look like triplets. They look very similar. If they were not wearing the exclusive costumes of the monarchs of their respective kingdoms, if they were wearing similar styles of clothes, outsiders probably wouldn’t be able to tell which one of them is which.

Later, when Edward VII's son George V succeeded to the throne, in order to appease the British people who had suffered trauma from the war, his family changed their German surname to Windsor, ending the Hanoverian dynasty. Britain then entered the Windsor dynasty.

And George V's son, George VI, is Boss Cha's grandfather...

Eh...that's not right. To be more precise, George VI should be Boss Cha's grandfather.

Anyway, that's the relationship. These monarchs all lived in Clarence House when they were Princes of Wales.

But although there is still a room reserved for Mr. Cha in Clarence House now, he seldom comes here often and does not live there permanently.

Because George VI's daughter-in-law, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, lived here, so... Boss Cha took the opportunity to live outside and plant flowers and plants in his "small manor".

But the place where Boss Cha and Allen met today was at Clarence House.

After entering the palace gate, Alan looked at the place with emotion. He had rarely been here before, but he was extremely familiar with it. He could even recite the terrain here by heart, probably more familiar with it than Boss Cha.

Allen has a structural diagram of Clarence House at home, which describes how many rooms there are, what their layout is, how to defend them, etc.

Following the servant sent by Boss Cha to pick him up, Alan walked through the long corridor and looked at the paintings and photos on the walls on both sides of the corridor.

They are all photos of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother when she was young, as well as some photos of the Queen as a child. There are also photos of Princess Margaret and the Queen playing games when they were children.

Um……

Of course, there are also photos of Boss Cha and Princess Anne when they were children.

Alan deliberately stopped in front of this photo for a moment.

Boss Cha also had blonde hair when he was a child, and he was quite handsome, exactly like little Harry now. Their family genes are indeed very strong. He was a little boy when he was young, but as he grew up, his appearance plummeted. He became bald, his nose became pointed, his front teeth became more obvious, and sometimes his hair color would change.

This is what Alan can't understand the most. This thing can actually change from blonde to black hair as it grows longer. It's outrageous...

In the small reception room, Boss Cha was wearing overalls and sitting on the sofa next to the fireplace. The decoration of this reception room was not very luxurious, but it was full of life.

There is also a bookshelf with glass doors next to the fireplace, and a harp not far away.

There is also an interesting small wind chime hanging next to the window. When the window is slightly opened and a breeze blows in, the wind chime makes an ethereal sound.

“Your Highness…”

"Oh? Here you are. Why did you come to London yesterday?"

When Boss Cha saw Allen, although his expression was very natural, there was still a sense of frustration in his eyes.

But he didn't rush to speak, instead he pulled Alan aside to ask questions.

“…”

Alan couldn't just tell him that he was here to date Kate, right?

"Ahem... I've been busy lately. I haven't been to the House of Lords for a meeting this year. I wanted to go to the House of Lords today."

"Well...it's better to do something serious instead of fooling around all day."

Boss Cha gave Alan a lecture.

Alan felt a little fed up.

You yourself don't do anything important all day, but you're on the headlines every day...

"Sit down, hey..."

Boss Cha sighed deeply, rubbed his forehead, and waved to the servants beside him to signal them to go out.

After the servant closed the door and left, Boss Cha sighed again. He felt so aggrieved!

Something happened here or there all day long. He was supposed to attend a charity event in London today. He happily had breakfast and was getting ready to go out. He sat in the car with his legs crossed and read the newspaper. Unexpectedly, he saw his own news on the headlines.

It’s not that his subordinates didn’t know about this matter, but even if they did, they didn’t dare to tell him!

Everyone was afraid that he would suddenly lose his temper, so they just waited for him to find out.

It was in this unexpected situation that Boss Cha saw today's newspaper.

He definitely couldn't attend the event, and even if he wanted to be angry, he couldn't do it in front of his servants.
