C2054 Detailed schedule (2/2)

You are not blind, can't you tell that more than 90% of the envoys are Chinese? Great Qing had always disapproved of this visit, it was just that they could not do anything about Zai Chun being in the ocean.

But on the schedule that the British had arranged, it was very obvious that Zai Chun was the host. They had placed Zai Chun above Xiao Letian, and the entire welcoming ceremony was centered around him, he did not even have the chance to make a public statement.

Xiao Letian took a deep breath to suppress the irritation in his heart. He knew that all face was useless, Zai Chun was the emperor in a diplomatic meeting, and he was just a prime minister, not to mention, the prime minister of a rising power.

Xiao Letian was a thick-skinned man who only cared about appearances, and not face. As long as he managed to get what he wanted in his pocket, he wouldn't mind giving face to Zai Chun, right?

Furthermore, Tongzhi was after all, his master and his disciple. It was his duty to be his master to help his disciple build momentum, so there was nothing to argue about.

Following that, she went back to the schedule saying that after the lunch was over, the Queen would walk around the garden alone with Zai Chun and drink tea for an hour.

”Alone? What did that mean? Am I not allowed to listen in? ” Xiao Letian looked at Duke of Newcastle and asked puzzledly.

”Yes, esteemed leader, after the lunch, only the Queen and the Emperor of Tongzhi will meet alone. Don't look at me with that question in your eyes, I also don't know what the Queen will say …”

Xiao Letian knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of this old fox, so he continued to read.

At two in the afternoon, Zai Chun and the Queen would ride in the Queen's carriage, which was the highest grade of the British Empire, from Buckingham Palace and head to Westminster Abbey.

At the same time, it was possible to visit the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. At 5: 30 p.m., the diplomatic mission and the Royal Family would head to the State Dining Hall, which was next to the British Navy.

The party was scheduled to end at ten in the evening, but now was the time for the nobles to rest. The atmosphere of the state visit would be much more relaxed, and with music, alcohol, and women, the party might drag on into the night.

At this time, it would not be a good time to make arrangements. The Eastern diplomatic mission would decide when they would return to their residence, which was the Eastern Palace, the former Duke Marlborough's old residence, in accordance with their timetable.

”What?” Zai Chun wanted to stay in Buckingham Palace after the banquet? Won't he live with us … ”

It wasn't until now that Xiao Letian found out where the atmosphere in the Director Wang was. It turned out that after the royal ball, Tongzhi, his eunuchs and guards were going to part ways with the Chinese.

Zai Chun was arranged to live in the Buckingham Palace, but Xiao Letian could only live in the Duke's Mansion five or six hundred meters away.

It was not that the Duke's mansion was bad. In this historical and rare diplomatic event, the British would never provide broken houses for the Chinese.

Duke Marlborough was also one of the top masters of the British aristocracy. His old residence must have been luxurious enough to match Xiao Letian's status, but what did he take Zai Chun and himself as?

”Your Grace, what do you mean?” Why are you assigning the Tongzhi Emperor and me? And I also took a look, the arrangements for my visit with Tongzhi Emperor are actually not the same! ”

”Tomorrow, we can move together, and from the second day onwards, Zai Chun will have to act alone under your arrangements? I need an explanation... ”
