C2185 Morning at Buckingham Palace (2/2)
Never would he have thought that this small storm would ultimately take the life of the Prince. From then on, Queen Victoria began his long life as a widow.
She even forbade her son from staying too much in Buckingham Palace. Today, she had made an exception because she wanted to welcome the Eastern diplomatic mission, otherwise, Edward would not have such a chance to be alone with her mother.
Most of the time, the Queen Victoria would let his son represent him in visits to different countries around the world. On one hand, it was because his own body was not strong enough to allow his strong son to do the work for him, and on the other hand, it was because he did not want to see him all the time.
The sight of her son reminded the queen of her beloved husband. It was a pain that was hard for an outsider to understand.
But today, his 30-odd year old son was still like this … How could the Queen not be angry at the fact that she was so lustful of women? She said in an amicable tone, ”When this matter is over, you can go to the East! Go and inspect the colonies in the east of the empire, so that you won't even let go of the little girl in my palace! ”
Edward was already used to his mother's rebuke. As a son, other than pretending to be stupid in front of such a reprimand, there was nothing else he could do.
”Oh, my mother, even God praises your kindness. Why do you have to be so harsh on your son …” Edward smiled mischievously as he held his mother's hands and said.
”Isn't the reason you arranged the maids for the Tongzhi Emperor to probe this little emperor's character?”
”However, I also have my own merits. At the very least, when it comes to analyzing the Tongzhi Emperor, I can definitely get my opinion on it! ”One must know that a man's performance in front of a woman reveals his personality the most …”
Queen Victoria's nose was almost crooked from anger. ”God, how can you be such a shameless rascal? You don't look like a prince at all, you really disappoint me …”
Although her words were harsh, she still gave her son a chance to speak.
Edward sneered as he glanced in the direction of Zai Chun's resting room. ”I feel that it's the right decision for the empire to bet on the Tongzhi Emperor!”
”Although this little emperor has a lot of flaws, but it's precisely because he has flaws that give us the opportunity to take advantage of him!”
”Firstly, this little Emperor is like many other Eastern Emperors, extremely lecherous! As a guest, what does it mean to be able to accept women so unrestrainedly in the master's home? ”
”This shows the confidence and arrogance he has in his heart. Of course, he has the innate disposition of an emperor! It was a kind of arrogance that turns a blind eye to the rules of the mortal world. All the etiquette in front of him is like floating clouds! ”
”People don't have ambition. As long as they have ambition, we can control them!”
”This is a monarch with high ambitions who has been educated by the purest monarch since he was young. That's right, that must be it!”
