Vol 3 Chapter 1: After April Fool's Day

Didi's alarm clock sounded, but was dumbed by the outstretched arm of the duvet without a couple of sounds, followed by a whisper on the bed girl-oh, it should be a woman now-sitting upright, sleepy Her hair was a little messy, and she had a natural smile on her face before she woke up. The appearance of Begonia's spring sleep was really exciting.
"For God's sake, would you let me sleep for another 5 minutes?" After muttering a word, she fell straight down again, but then made a muffled noise.
Angela screamed and jumped up, rolled over, crawled on the bed, and stretched her hands on her head for a while. Fortunately, there was no sign of swelling, but it hurts just now, but then she woke up completely.
"Oh, it's unlucky. Obviously I still don't use alarm clocks." After looking at the time but 8 o'clock, Angela sighed, opened her mouth and yawned without a ladylike image, then got out of bed and went barefoot In the bathroom, yesterday was April 1st April Fool's Day and it was the weekend. There was no doubt that she was playing crazy, but she was deceived the most.
"Wait and see, one day I will pull it back." With no nutrition, Angela opened the water tap, and then patted the mirror in front of her: "Good morning, Angela, the new day begins again, well Work hard. "
Holding up a handful of water to moisten her face. She picked up the moisturizer next to her skillfully-anyway, it is to maintain the skin, she was too lazy to remember the names of these things-squeezed in the palm of your hand and wipe it evenly On the face.
"No acne, no freckles," touching her chin and looking at the woman in the mirror, Angela poked her mouth and stretched out her own face and bounced: "The elasticity is also good, that's good."
After washing, I spent a lot of time to wear clothes and make-up. I finally finished these before 9 o'clock, and when I was preparing to leave the bedroom, the knocking of the door suddenly sounded.
"Don't think I haven't gotten up yet," Angela shouted at Annie who came in. She shrugged, tilted her head and thought for a few seconds before sighing again: "But if you can, I think you'll wake me up later Better, would you, Annie? "
But for a long while, the other party didn't answer, and Angela, who was packing the bed, raised her head in confusion, Annie stood beside the door with her hands twisted, her brows frowned and hesitated as if she had something to say and dare not say.
"Hey, what happened? Did the two little ghosts get into trouble again? You asked me for help?" Angela didn't think too much, she straightened her body with her hands on her hips and said with a smile: "Tell them this is impossible, I'll take care of my own troubles, don't think I'll wipe their buttocks, this kind of thing is enough. "
"No, no, Angie." Annie shook her head, her face suddenly darkened, and with a little sorrow, she opened her mouth, and hesitantly spit out a few words: "King ... Princess ... …died?"
"The princess passed away?" Angela raised her eyebrows, and she obviously hadn't figured it out yet. "Oh, of course, she died in 1982. People all over the world miss her, don't they?"
"No, Angie, I'm not talking about Grace, I'm talking ..." Annie waved her hand and didn't seem to know what to say, and it took a lot of effort to call out that name: "I mean Princess Diana! "
Angela blinked, sighed and raised her arms: "I have to admit, Annie, you performed perfectly, for a few seconds I have believed what you said, maybe you should try Be an actor. But I still have to say, dear, April Fool's Day was yesterday. You ca n’t be fooled because I was deceived yesterday, and then come to play with me today, and still use this content. "
"This is not a joke on April Fool's Day, Angie!" Annie had calmed down. "You can go downstairs. Today's newspaper headlines are all about this, and TV news programs are all covering this."
Angela opened her mouth slowly. She watched Annie look blankly and couldn't spit out a word. Annie didn't speak any more, but she just turned her body to let out. The meaning was obvious, the bedroom fell into a strange silence in.
"It's impossible!" Angela finally whispered, her body leaning slightly back against the desk, still shaking her head blankly, and repeating: "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible ! "
She gasped, her eyes glaring at Annie seemingly trying to find any flaws, but Annie kept her gestures still unmoved, Angela moaned and covered her forehead, asking hard: "Where is it?"
"France, Paris, something around 2pm local time ..."
"It's impossible!" Angela shuddered with excitement. "Diana was in a car accident in Paris this morning? It's ridiculous! Even if something is doomed, it won't be so!"
"Wait, Angie, I didn't say that Her Royal Highness had an accident." Annie asked strangely.
"Not a car accident?" Angela asked after a few seconds, "What's that?"
"I think you'd better ..." Annie had wanted her to go to the newspaper or TV, but watching Angela stare at herself, and she had the stance to tell her now, so she had to summarize it. A few words: "It seems that when the plane was on the runway before taking off, it suddenly broke out of the runway, so ..."
Angela ran out without waiting for Annie to speak, she couldn't wait to figure out what was going on. In fact, she knew the story very easily. As Annie said, all the newspaper headlines published the news, and all news channels were scrolling to show the progress of the matter.
Diana originally planned to take a 6am plane at Charles de Gaulle Airport to visit a child in a country called Lesotho in Africa. However, when the plane was about to rise in Mercedes-Benz, it suddenly fell down and crushed the front wheel and ran out of the runway. The fuselage was broken from the middle but not completely broken. When it finally stopped, it was cut to 120 °. The cause of the accident is still to be found. Although only dozens of people have been injured and nine have died so far, the princess has unfortunately become one of these nine people, but she does not know whether she was lucky or unfortunate.
Anyway, Angela watching TV has a feeling of falling into the ice cellar. She thought that Diana would have nothing to do after August last year, even if she did not give up the title of Princess of Wales, but at her wedding But showing a disheartened mood but not cheating, so just be careful ... but why ...
Until now, Angela's head was still a piece of paste, she didn't know what to do, and she had only one thought over and over again: This kind of thing shouldn't happen. Fortunately, the mother went into the lounge at this time: "Kriss, don't watch."
"Mom ..." Angela stared blankly at her mother, opened her mouth and couldn't say anything.
"Don't watch it." The mother repeated it, turned off the TV with the remote control, and took her daughter in her arms to comfort her and pat her on the back: "I'm also very sad, darling, know that I know Diana and I Time is not shorter than you. But some things have already happened, no matter how sad you are, you can't make time back. "
Can't get time back? Angela, who was buried on her mother's shoulder, closed her eyes sadly: "No, mother, I just don't think this kind of thing should happen, how unlikely it is, why is this?"
"Maybe God doesn't want Diana to suffer in the world, who knows." The mother comforted. "Well, take it easy, you scared everyone, even if I told them to be careful today."
Angela then remembered that the situation at home was different from usual. When she came downstairs, both the servant and Jennifer treated her carefully, but she was irritatingly screaming and drinking without the usual calmness.
"I'm sorry, Mom," Angela said with a grin, "I'll apologize to them."
"Then go to the restaurant to eat something. It's past nine thirty. You should have a few dates today," the mother patted her daughter's arm gently. "Of course, if you want to be quiet, then Push it away for a long time, I think they will understand. "
"Dad should be back from New York today, isn't it?" Angela asked suddenly, "When will he be home?"
"I only talked to him ten minutes ago. He had just left the airport, but he was on his way to the company. He might be able to return home later," said his mother gently. "What can't you tell me? "
"No, Mom, I want to ask my dad to arrange a flight for Sky. If possible, I want to go to London immediately, the sooner the better!" Angela paused and added: "If it doesn't work, I'll book the airline. flight."
"Now? Chris, you're kidding! What's the point even if you go?" The mother frowned slightly. "Moreover, you don't have a reason to go now, calm down, darling."
"Sorry, mother." Angela said calmly, and then didn't say much, she did not have a reason to go now, but her previous sentence had clearly stated her attitude. Obviously, the mother knew this too, so she nodded slightly after watching her daughter for a long time.
The father quickly agreed after knowing that, after all, the daughter is already an adult at the age of 18 and can be completely responsible for his actions. In this case, Angela quickly started packing and preparing to go to London. This time she may stay until the funeral is over, so it will take a long time and many things must be explained clearly.
"Mom will help me ask for leave from school, so do n’t worry, I ’ll bring my textbooks; the room is just organized as usual, and Sparrow comes over and gives him the floppy disk that I left. The arrangements for some things are on it If you have any questions, ask him to call. In addition, if Lindsey is here, say "I'm sorry" to her. I'm sorry I have to miss the appointment. I'll take the time to guide her next time. If possible, accompany her. After playing a game or chatting, I have been worried that she might be bad for one reason or another. "Angela said, closing the box, and after thinking about it, looked at Annie and whispered," If they have them, Phone, you know how to answer it, right? "
"Yes, I know." Annie nodded in the notebook.
"Thank you, I believe you." Angela smiled. "If it takes a long time, come and accompany me."
In the middle of the night on April 2, Sky finally landed at Heathrow Airport. The dull journey along the way calmed Angela a lot, and even calmed down to write a few pages of script, but sat down to pick up his own After the car, she couldn't help but ask the driver to leave from inner London, and to pass through the gate of Buckingham Palace on purpose.
The driver did what she said, but because it was late at night, it was not clear how much the British public reacted to the unfortunate death of the princess, but even so, she saw what she wanted to see while passing through Buckingham Palace Many flower bouquets have been placed on the fence outside the palace, which is very conspicuous in the dim light.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm bothering you." After arriving at the manor, I didn't expect Grandpa to be waiting for her in the living room. This surprised Angela and couldn't help but feel a little panic.
"It's okay, I understand your mood, dear, although you don't need to rush over here at all." Grandpa shook her head and looked calm, without seeing what he was thinking.
"I know I don't have a reason to come here, but I still can't help it ..." Angela smirked and spread her hands. "I really can't imagine this happening, it's shocking."
"I said, I understand your mood, go to bed now, can you say something tomorrow?" The grandfather said gently, and Angela nodded immediately, and after leaving the public notice, she went down to her room. .
Can anyone be more shocked than me? When lying down on the bed, Angela thought like this, but thought that ... But she still couldn't avoid it. Is this fate or is it just a coincidence? Suddenly the chest began to feel uncomfortable.
Realizing that her thoughts were spreading to mysticism, she quickly stopped. For Angela, her experience made it impossible for her to become an atheist or to truly believe in something, so she had to avoid things as much as possible without seeing them, like her feelings.
It is better to think about the possibility of conflict with the grandfather, and if so, how to avoid it. Angela turned to another topic. After all, Grandpa's loyalty to the Queen is obvious to all, and Grandpa is also a traditional British gentleman, restrained, calm and reserved, so he must be on the Queen's side. Yes, so she was careful just now.
However, perhaps because the mother eloped with his father gave him a lot of blows, so now the demands on his children are not so rigid, otherwise how can he agree with your uncle's marriage, as long as you don't deliberately discuss some issues with him, it may not happen. problem. Angela fell asleep in her thoughts.
In the following days, Angela stayed in the manor and went nowhere. She followed the progress of the situation through the media and couldn't help but stay at home honestly. The princess's puppet was transported back to park St. James's Palace on the second day. Angela immediately went to apply for mourning. She thought it would be easy to get permission. After all, St. James's Palace was not there, but one The Minister responsible for this matter told her with regret that Ling Ling would not open her mourning to any non-royal members until the funeral of the former princess was prepared at Buckingham Palace.
When I heard such an answer, Angela really wanted to get angry, but she could bear it for grandpa's sake, and she didn't want to cause more trouble. Paparazzi wandered around here every day. If they found themselves here and If she was refused to enter the mourning, she did not know what kind of report she would make. She did not want to make herself one of the reasons for pushing the royal family to the cusp.
In the past few days, the British media have accused the royal family, especially after the heads of state have expressed their condolences-Clinton, Chirac, Yeltsin and so on-after Blair's "Princess of the People" made British people even more to the royal family. Dissatisfaction reached a new height.
In the opinion of Angela, the royal family did not do it too authenticly. From the beginning, no public and official statement was issued. Then all members of the immediate family left London and went to the Paramore Palace completely the other day. No one exists, and it is said that only private funerals are held and not open to the public!
It is conceivable how disappointed the people are. In addition, the media are fanning the flames, and more and more people are presenting flowers in front of Buckingham Palace to express their grief. In the end, the entire gate is full so that even changing posts cannot be performed normally.
In addition, there are still many people who stay outside all day long and light candles at night to mark the memorial. The British government had to add fences along the roadside to prevent accidents, and also added a lot of guestbooks for People write a few sentences.
"Why does Her Majesty refuse to make a public speech?" Xia Xiayi, who asked this sentence, was in Angela's arms, and her bright eyes looked at her without blinking, like a curious kitten.
"It's complicated and simple to say." Angela shrugged, pinching on the little girl's face, because watching the development of the thing made her unwilling to do other things, Xia Xia was also in London during the boredom, so Invite her to play.
"In the Queen's eyes, Her Royal Highness is only a former princess and cannot be considered a member of the royal family, so her funeral is only a private matter of the Spencer family and has nothing to do with others." Angela sighed.
"But everyone hopes that they can honour Her Royal Highness?" Xia Xia asked inexplicably. "I miss it too."
"Me too, dear, but the problem is that the queen does not understand the current situation, or that she understands but does not want to believe it, because that is not the tradition of the British Empire!" Could not help but use a sarcastic tone.
"Do you think so, Chris?" Grandpa's voice suddenly sounded. 2k novel reading network
