Make France Great Again

Palmerston's ambiguous response silenced his wife, who (referring to Mrs. Palmerston) had already Knowing the political "dominance" and "stubbornness" of the man in front of her, never discussing politics with this man has become a "command" in Mrs. Palmerston's heart.

Facing the silent box and the slightly trembling carriage from time to time, Palmerston leaned against the back seat of the carriage, closed his eyes slowly, and made a gesture of taking a nap.

For an old man over 60 years old, staying up late is really harmful to his health, but he has to do the complicated diplomatic work and the summons of Prince Albert (Queen Victoria who gave the order) face things.

Palmerston had reason to believe that Queen Victoria would not hesitate to oust him once he faced a mistake in his work.

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

Thinking of the various strategies of Cabinet Prime Minister Russell, Palmerston's face with his eyes closed showed a subtle disdain.

The prime minister doesn't understand the root of the predicament in Britain at all. The ten-hour work system adopted in response to unemployment and the hasty establishment of a public security and health committee in response to cholera are just proposals to treat the head and the foot.

Although Palmerston has already prepared a backstab against Prime Minister Russell in his heart, the current situation requires the prime minister, an unlucky man, to shoulder the two big thunders of unemployment and strikes, and barely maintaining the political operation of the cabinet is the best solution. .

Palmerston thought about the questions Mrs. Albert might ask, and how to deal with Queen Victoria's possible arrival.

The accident in 1839 made the Queen loathe herself [Note 1]. Palmerston had more contact with Prince Albert if it was not necessary. The Queen was always led by her own emotions and lost Politicians should have the tolerance, Wang Fu is a qualified politician.

...

The carriage walked slowly in James Park for nearly 5 minutes and arrived at the destination.

The carriage slowly stopped at the open-air "parking lot" in front of Buckingham Palace, and the driver in charge of the carriage called Palmerston who was inside the carriage obediently: "Viscount (Note 2), we are here!"

Palmerston opened his eyes and helped his wife open the carriage door.

At this time, a servant in a kilt hurried out of Buckingham Palace. He was John Brown.

"Mr. Brown!" Palmerston nodded with his slightly raised head like a superficial touch, speaking the traditional Scottish Gaelic.

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

Just as Palmerston expected, John Brown trembled slightly after hearing Palmerston's kind greeting in his native dialect.

It has been a long time since Prince Albert has heard "hometown talk" since he took over as butler.

The goodwill towards Palmerston also increased after Palmerston spoke his "hometown dialect".

"Viscount Palmerston, the queen and her husband are waiting for you in the dining room!" Unlike his arrogance towards Dr. James, John Brown showed due respect to the politician Palmerston.

"How are the Queen and the Queen's husband feeling?" Palmerston tried to judge what kind of "fate" he was going to face today through the mood of the Queen's husband and the Queen.

"Both the queen and the husband are in a good mood!" John Brown's words were like a reassurance that half of Palmerston's worries were removed.

Led by John Brown, Palmerston came to the main hall of the Buckingham Palace restaurant.

The chandelier on the ceiling of the main hall illuminates the whole main hall,

Below the chandelier is a long dining table made of nanmu. The dining table is covered with a layer of light yellow tablecloth. On top of the tablecloth is placed a porcelain plate with exquisite patterns carved from the East. The porcelain plate is like a pair of Under the light of the chandelier on the ceiling, the silver-plated tableware shone with silver light with closed eyes. Under the silver-plated tableware is a white silk handkerchief. Guests can use the handkerchief to clean the residue from their mouths after enjoying the dinner quietly. Next to the tableware is a gilded candlestick with three candles lit.

The whole banquet reveals the make-up and luxurious aura. The cost of the decoration in front of you alone is enough for more than ten families in Britain, and a family of four can eat bread for a year.

And these arrangements are just some trivial embellishments.

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

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

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

"Minister Palmerston, you are here!" Prince Albert, who was in a good mood, said to Palmerston with a smile.

Queen Victoria did not speak but nodded, apparently still angry at Palmerston's rude behavior back then.

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

Although Queen Victoria was the protagonist in the name of this banquet, Palmerston knew that the real protagonist was Prince Albert.

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

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

Two dining cars were pushed to the dining room of Buckingham Palace.

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

PS: 1. In 1839, Palmerston married his wife. In the same year, because he could not control his waistband, he had an affair with the maid of Windsor Castle. Palmerston is beautiful.

2. Palmerston was awarded the title of Viscount. Before the universal suffrage law was implemented, the right of Britain, which relied on tax payments to vote, was still in the hands of the nobles of the House of Lords. Without the majority of the House of Lords disagreeing, the cabinet would collapse.
