Chapter 1669 Visiting the Queen of Russia

Gris Allen cleaned up properly. Today he has a very important task, and he is going to meet Queen Elizabeth.

The meeting place is at the Ekaterina Palace in St. Petersburg. There is no Winter Palace yet, and the Winter Palace will be the Hermitage Museum in Russia in the future. It is a palace in the six palace complex and is located in the St. Petersburg Palace. On the square, it later became one of the four major museums in the four worlds.

This building can be said to embody the great achievement of Russian neoclassical architectural art. That building is extraordinarily elegant. The Winter Palace faces the Neva River. There are three arched iron gates protruding slightly in the center, and there are statues of giant gods at the entrance.

There are two rows of colonnades around the palace, which is magnificent. The palace is decorated with various marbles, malachite, azurite, grouper and jasper, most of which are covered with gold and copper.

There are also sculptures, murals, and embroidery of various textures for decoration.

The scale of the square before the Winter Palace is even more astonishing. Later, the Winter Palace underwent a series of expansions and adjustments.

Most people criticize the Louvre and the British Museum in the United Kingdom, but they don't know that the Russian Museum, one of the four major museums, also displays a large number of cultural relics from other countries.

But now the Ekaterina Palace that I am going to is the office of Queen Elizabeth, and it can be said to be a residence.

Of course, Queen Elizabeth is by no means the only residence, she also has the Summer Palace and other suburban palaces not far from St. Petersburg.

The Ekaterina Palace has almost nothing to do with the current Sophia, a woman whose name has been changed to Ekaterina.

The Ekaterina Palace was built by Emperor Peter for his wife Ekaterina, and the place where Gris Allen is going to meet today is the Ekaterina Palace.

The Ekaterina Palace in St. Petersburg is now a symbol of the imperial power of the Russian Empire. The overall building is white, supplemented by various uniform colors, and decorated with gilding and other crafts throughout the palace, especially on the ceiling of the palace. The roof is lined with a lot of gold, which looks magnificent.

Of course, this is not the only background color. Today's Ekaterina Palace is not so beautiful, if it looks particularly good here in winter.

Compared with the magnificence of Ekaterina Palace, Gris Allen's embassy manor in the White Iron Kingdom looked a bit shabby.

Even though it uses an epoch-making style of glass design, it also uses many design concepts beyond the times, but compared with the huge palace, there are still some gaps, especially the interior decoration.

It does have a gap compared to the Royal Palace in St. Petersburg.

Of course, if Gris Allen also followed Gris Allen to St. Petersburg, he would not care so much about this building.

Compared with the palaces built by European royal families, Zeng Yunfeng actually prefers oriental architecture.

The palace of the Russian royal family was built like a modern building. It looks tall, but in Zeng Yunfeng's heart, it is like a besieged city, enclosing itself, and it is almost airtight, very depressing.

In Zeng Yunfeng's view, this palace is more like an apartment building built by later generations, but the interior is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, supplemented by various murals and decorations, which makes it look a bit graceful and elegant.

They are more used to set off decorations, and Zeng Yunfeng is just a kind of minimalism, he doesn't appreciate this kind of gorgeous embellishment, he prefers grandeur and majesty.

In the Petersburg Palace, Queen Elizabeth sat at the head, looking at Gris Allen who walked in front of her step by step outside.

Gris Allen bent slightly and saluted Queen Elizabeth.

Queen Elizabeth smiled while holding the scepter, "Excuse me, I thought the plenipotentiary ambassador of the Iron Kingdom should be a rough person, but I didn't expect you to be more like a nobleman than I imagined."

Facing Queen Elizabeth's ridicule, Gris Allen smiled, "Your Majesty, not all people in the kingdom are like me, nor are they like what the Queen thinks. Although we are brave and good at fighting, we also have good etiquette and noble blood. .”

The head of the bodyguard next to Queen Elizabeth curled his lips frivolously. He didn't think the blood of pirates was noble. At least in his opinion, the Iron Kingdom was a country composed of a group of rebellious people. They were cruel, murderous, rude, Tyrannical, not to mention noble.

Queen Elizabeth glanced at the head of the guard beside her, and the head of the guard quickly restrained his expression.

Only then did Queen Elizabeth say: "The journey from Bogota to St. Petersburg must be very hard, right?"

"Your Majesty, it is indeed a long journey for thousands of miles, but the scenery of St. Petersburg is fascinating. The exhaustion along the way dissipates in an instant, so it is not hard."

Queen Elizabeth chuckled.

"I didn't expect that in the early spring, St. Petersburg was still covered with heavy snow, and the palace under the heavy snow had such a fascinating scenery, which really surprised me."

"I like the scenery here, I allow you to go to my palace garden, where the scenery is even more beautiful!" Queen Elizabeth smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, it is a great honor."

"Okay, it seems that the ambassador still likes St. Petersburg very much, so why not stay in St. Petersburg for a while."

Gris Allen bent down to salute Queen Elizabeth again.

Queen Elizabeth waved her hand to signal him to step back. After Gris Allen left, the head guard next to her came to Queen Elizabeth's side.

"Your Majesty, the gifts from the Iron Kingdom are very generous. I don't know what they are planning!"

"Oh, what are there?" Queen Elizabeth was a little curious.

"Pearls and gold may not catch your eyes, but there are five new warships and various new weapons."

Queen Elizabeth raised her gaze, "It seems that Roy Smith is still a generous person."

The head guard also smiled, "In St. Petersburg, everyone knows that the Iron Kingdom is an upstart. It is said that their money is like the water in the Neva River. It is endless and never used up."

"In South America, they even competed with the Spaniards for gold mines. At least half of the former Spanish dependencies were taken away by them."

"So when it comes to money, the Iron Kingdom is definitely not inferior to Spain. Moreover, it is said that Roy Smith has countless treasures, and the sea is his territory, so it is not surprising that he offered this gift."

Queen Elizabeth looked at Gris Allen, who was almost out of sight, "I would like to know, apart from gifts to me, what did the Iron Kingdom send to other countries?"

The chief guard whispered a few words in Queen Elizabeth's ear.

Queen Elizabeth patted her throne and stood up, "Let's go, it seems that Roy Smith and Gris Allen are not simple characters. We can't imagine them as Vikings. They are no less diplomatic than those ancient European countries."

"We also have to pay attention to them. The Iron Kingdom has been far away from the European continent in recent years, but their figures have been wandering in the European war and fog in recent years. Everywhere they go, they will set off a wave of chaos. Fenghuo, please pay attention to their movements." Then, Queen Elizabeth glanced at the head of the guard.

The chief guard bowed slightly to show his understanding.

The head of the guard next to Elizabeth is almost her secret spy leader, similar to the head of the Jin Yiwei. It monitors the entire Peter Palace and members of the royal family, plus various noble classes to prevent them from rebelling.

It can be said that he is Queen Elizabeth's dog leg.
