At the dinner table on Wednesday morning, Joey was elated, and William was also excited, Joey's reason needless to say, was naturally to take his two younger sisters to see his friend Mary in the afternoon, and William's excitement was that the crown princess wanted to see Elizabeth's father and uncle, the Grand Duke of Hesse Archduke Ernst.

Looking at Joey, who was elated and didn't know the pain of parting, the crown princess really hated iron and steel, and couldn't help but point out to Joey, "Jojo, girls are emotional people, Mary is about to leave Berlin, and it will take a while, or a long time to see you, you look so happy that you can't hold back yourself, go to see Mary, what do you think Mary will think when she sees you?" ”

"You have to show that you are sad when you part with your best friend! Are you looking forward to Mary going there, or are you expecting her to stay? ”

"Take out the sad feeling when you are separated from your best friend!" The crown princess said solemnly.

"Ah, Mom, can you still do this?!" Joey looked at his mother in surprise.

"Talking to your parents about money, politics, and plans is a set, I thought you knew everything, you look at your eldest brother Willy, no matter how happy you are, you can sit still." Looking at Joey's out-of-tune appearance, the crown princess couldn't help but praise her calm eldest son.

Joey glanced sideways, beside him, although he kept shaking his feet nervously, the eldest brother, who was not moving at all on his upper body, sighed, drooped his head and ate honestly.

"Qiaoqiao, you have to keep this attitude, but in front of His Majesty Eugenie, you have to be restrained in this attitude." The crown princess half encouraged and half reminded, "By the way, your tutor is coming this afternoon, so don't come back too late, your tutor will be arranged in the next two days." ”

"Willy, are you ready to eat with your uncle-in-law at noon?" The crown prince asked his eldest son with concern.

"It's all ready, Daddy."

At school, Joey didn't eat his lunch seriously, and in the afternoon, he hurried to the Rome Hotel in Berlin with his two younger sisters. According to the method taught by the crown princess, he saw Mary off with a sad face.

Joey could clearly feel that the heavier his expression, the more unhappy Empress Eugenie became, and the happier Mary was.

"Alas, it's still women who understand women." Joey felt it deeply.

When the sun was setting in the west, Joey, who was excited and hungry, led his sisters back to the palace early. As soon as he entered the room, Joey keenly felt that the atmosphere of the entire palace was not right, and all the attendants and maids were obviously doubly cautious.

After letting the maids take away the two younger sisters, Joey was confused and frowned into the living room of the palace, only to find that the atmosphere of the two people in the living room was obviously not right, sitting at one end of the sofa in the living room, wiping his mother with red and swollen eyes with a handkerchief, while at the other end sat William, who was obviously sulking with his head twisted.

"Didn't my mother take Willie to dinner with her uncle-in-law today to discuss Willy's proposal to Cousin Elizabeth, what's the matter?" Joey looked surprised, looked at his mother and eldest brother Willy, took out his handkerchief, and walked gently to the side of the crown princess, who had obviously cried.

"Mom, it's Willy's business today, something went wrong?" Joey asked softly.

"Nothing went wrong, Jojo." The crown princess said with a forced smile.

Joey looked at her mother, looked at her eldest brother, shook her head and said, "I don't believe it, you and your eldest brother went out today for this one thing, and now you and Willy have obviously quarreled, so it can only be for Willy's business, Mom, you can tell me anything, let's figure it out together." ”

After hesitating for a while, the crown princess said.

"Your uncle-in-law rejected Willy's marriage proposal, I want to beg your uncle, but Willy ....." Before the crown princess's words were finished, William's high-pitched and sharp voice suddenly interrupted the crown princess's words, "Why are you asking him, why are you asking him, don't you think I'm not ashamed enough!" How can you do this to me! ”

William was like an emotionally uncontrollable beast, roaring hoarsely and pounding the sofa with both hands.

After glaring at the frantic William with a murderous gaze, Joey comforted his mother, who was crying again, and said, "Mom, don't pay attention to Willy, you go back to the room first, and let me talk to Willy." ”

After seeing off his mother in person, Joey looked at William, who was already a little exhausted sitting on the sofa, and said coldly, "Here, don't you feel ashamed, let's go to your room to talk about this." On the way to William's bedroom, Joey grabbed a plate of croissants and a pot of coffee.

As soon as William entered the bedroom, he collapsed on his bed, while Joey sat at the end of the bed, threw the porcelain plate containing croissants on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "What happened today?" Willie, tell me about it. ”

"What else can I do, Ella's father rejected my marriage proposal, he thinks I can't give Ella happiness, Ella can only live a hard life with me, what do you say I'm irritable, irritable, and uneducated!"

"In the face of his rude accusations, in the face of his rude deprivation of my love, do you still expect me to sit quietly and bear this insult! I will never behave like a damn gentleman in front of someone who insults me, I will fight him like a warrior, whoever he is! William buried his head in the pillow and snarled hysterically as he pounded the bed with his hands.

Joey picked up the bread tray with a blank face, picked up a loaf of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, watching William keep venting his negative emotions.

Seeing that William's emotions were almost cathartic, Joey said coldly.

"I've never heard of a warrior who shows his strength to his own mother, you should show your sword to your enemies, your enemy is the one who prevents you from falling in love with Cousin Ella, your enemy is not your mother, your mother just wants to help you, you treat your mother like this, you are so ashamed!"

"I .....," William felt a shortness of breath, turned and sat up, and then said reluctantly, "she shouldn't have begged him in a low voice, Joey, you know, it makes me feel very uncomfortable, it makes me feel ashamed!" ”

"Shame, shame on you, mom, a dignified crown princess, ask for your happiness, that's your happiness, Ella is your sweetheart! It's not Mommy's! Joey scolded angrily, "You dare to tell me that it makes you feel ashamed, so you tell me, where is my mother's dignity?" You're a beast that doesn't know anything! ”

"I, I didn't let her beg someone! I can take care of my own affairs! William stubbornly raised his head, but said with a little weakness.

"You didn't let your mother ask for help, this damn marriage proposal of yours, and your future wedding, do you want your mother to come forward, or do you want your mother to ask for the consent of the Hessian family, is this a request!" Joey shook off the plate in his hand and slammed it at William.

Then Joey shouted loudly, "Is your damn way of dealing with it just to be angry at your mother?!" ”

William was stunned by the sudden smashing of the plate. In normal times, William often shows a proud and strong attitude towards anyone, but no one has ever dared to fight back against him, or even hit him directly, and now looking at the angry and hit his own Joey, William was stunned.

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and William held his breath in fear as he looked at Joey's eyes that were red from rage.

After a long time, William whispered, "Jojo, I know it's wrong, but you have to know that I'm really uncomfortable, I didn't mean to ..... with my mother."

"Willy, you should tell your mother about the apology." Joey said coldly.

"But today's events are a bit strange, if the Hesses were to refuse you, Uncle Ernst should not have come to Berlin from Hesse to ask you to meet in the dining room, and dare to be so rude, which is not like what a relative should do! I found it strange to disgrace my mother and you in a restaurant in Berlin. ”

"Ah, Jojo, what do you mean?"

"Willy, tell me the whole thing from beginning to end today, and don't miss anything." Joey said in a deep voice.

William began to truthfully recount the whole process of having dinner with Elizabeth's father at noon today.

"Willy, are you saying that in the beginning, everything was going well, that Uncle Ernst was very enthusiastic?" Joey asked.

"Yes, he kept praising me as a cheerful and enthusiastic person when we met, and he also said that he liked me very much. I know who he is now, abominable liar! William replied.

"What about his attitude towards his mother?"

"It's normal, too, oh, it should be said that it is through hypocritical enthusiasm, this bastard actually has the face to thank his mother for taking care of Ella during her aunt's death."

Joey rubbed his chin vigorously and asked, trying to recreate in his mind the scene of William's lunch meal. Then he motioned for William to continue.

"While eating the appetizer, Ella hadn't come yet, and at my urging, my mother told Ella's father, the bastard, about my marriage to Ella....."

"Wait, Willy, are you saying that Ella didn't show up with Uncle Ernst when we first met?" Joey interrupted William and asked.

"Oh yes, Ella's father, that bastard said she was a little unwell, and I don't know what was wrong, but Mom seemed to understand..."

"Well, I know, Willie, I ask you two things, first, should Cousin Ella show up at this kind of meeting, according to etiquette? Second, I want you to think about it, did Ella show up at the end? Joey asked William two serious questions.

On this occasion, Ella had to show up, and Ella's father said that she was just a little unwell and would be late. But in the end, I didn't see Ella until I lost my temper with my mom and left the restaurant. If Ella had been here, she would have persuaded me, and maybe it wouldn't have ended so badly. William said dullly and helplessly.

Joey nodded, thought for a moment, and asked William to continue.

"Wait, Willy, do you mean that Uncle Ernst suddenly changed his face and rejected your proposal?" Joey abruptly interrupted William's narration and asked.

"Oh yes, after Mom proposed my marriage to Ella, the bastard started to act happy, and the atmosphere was always good, when I felt that everything was going well, and I would propose to Ella whenever she arrived....."

"I don't know why, but he suddenly changed his face and started attacking me, saying that my... It's mine.... The bastard called me a cripple, that I had a disability in my left hand, that I was unsteady and immature, that Ella loved gemstones, and that the Hohenzollerns couldn't afford decent jewelry to match Ella! William's face turned painful.

"Willy, he dares to be so rude to you in front of your mother! What did he say to his mother? ”

"Mom begged him, saying that I was healthy, and that young people should behave, and hoped that he could fulfill Ella and me, and that our family had money and could give Ella jewelry that matched her status, and Mom kept begging him to ....." William suddenly began to cry.

"And then, you see this damn scene and you can't take it anymore and start yelling at your mother, right?" Joey asked with a dark face.

"Yes...."William grabbed the pillow and covered his face.

After a moment of silence.

"Damn it, Willy, you and your mother have been designed, someone tricked you, let Ella see you, how you turned into a stupid beast in front of your mother, and your mother and you became victims of someone else's conspiracy!" Joey grabbed the pillow off William's face and stared at William word by word.

"Someone is designing me and my mom?" William's tear-dripping face was full of doubt.

"Yes, I'll explain it to you." Joey shook off the pillow and, with his knowledge of the psychology of his past life, began to explain.

"One, someone uses your character weakness to design you, this person knows the weakness of your character, Willy, you can't bear the emotional impact of ups and downs, and when strong feelings stimulate you, you will be completely unable to control your anger emotions. This is the reason why Uncle Ernst has been pretending to be kind to you and your mother all the time, this is the reason why he is paralyzing you with positive emotions, and then suddenly irritating you with sarcastic words. This bastard has taken advantage of your character weakness! ”

"Why, why did this to me? ... And mom? Our family is very kind to Ella's father's family, Aunt Alice has diphtheria, and for fear that Ella will be infected, her mother specially brought Ella to Berlin, and..."

"Why, because I don't want Cousin Ella to marry you!" Joey said viciously.

"Two, I'm 100% sure that Cousin Ella was in the restaurant at noon today, and when you lost your temper at your mother, she was led into the restaurant by someone with a heart and saw your beastly side!"

"As for why you were designed not to let Cousin Ella marry you, Willy, you think carefully about everything Ella said to you, what Cousin told you, what she complained, did anyone want her to do? Like ask her to ask you for gems, or what? Joey asked.

"Ella never told me about asking for gems, and Ella just wanted a romantic wedding, as for expensive and luxurious things, she didn't care at all, she wasn't the kind of woman who couldn't leave when she saw jewelry." William said with a slight displeasure.

Joey patiently listened to William's rambling story of his love.

"Stop, Willy, you said someone told Cousin Ella that the reason she was allowed to live in Charlottenburg Palace was to make her more comfortable with life in the Russian Palace?" Joey suddenly heard a useful message.

"Oh yes, Ella didn't say who it was, but Ella once complained to me that someone wanted her to convert to Orthodoxy and wanted her to marry into a Romanov family." William nodded.

Joey once again remembered Elizabeth's life in history, looked at William with a calm face and said, "Willy, I know why I designed you!" ”

"Why?"

"Somebody wants Cousin Ella to go to Russia and marry those grey-skinned animals, and I remember what you complained to me about a week ago, Sergei's animal. I'm 100 percent sure that this incident today has something to do with that animal. Joey raised his hand and motioned for William not to speak.

"Willy, at last weekend's ball, you took Ella to all the dances, that is, you announced to the entire aristocratic circle of Berlin that you were going to marry Ella, and Ella also acquiesced, you are her husband."

"Assuming my previous judgment is true, what will happen to Cousin Ella if she sees you angry with your mother, William, think about it?" Joey asked.

"Uh..... Ella likes and respects her mother very much, Aunt Alice used to bring Ella to see her mother, I know that in Ella's heart, mother is as important as Aunt Alice, if Ella sees me and my mother angry....." William's cold sweat suddenly broke out.

"If Cousin Ella sees you angry with your mother, then there will only be one result, she thinks that you are a stupid person who cannot be entrusted with your life, and will never marry you. If I don't marry you, and the whole German aristocratic circle knows the story of you dancing five dances with her in a row, then Cousin Ella's reputation is finished. At that time, was that gray animal the only choice in front of Cousin Ella? Joey reminded William.

"Joey, what should I do!" By this time, William had fully believed Joey's reasoning.

"What should I do, if I let Sergei compete with you openly, Willy, if you lose in a dignified manner, what if I am not good." Joey grabbed the croissants scattered on the bed and took a hard bite, "But design you, design mom, let our family hurt each other, want to watch the excitement on the side, but I know what to do, I will never bypass him." ”

"Willy, don't they want Ella to marry you, who are the Hohenzollern family afraid of, and they are engaged in conspiracies to make Ella not marry, then we will rob it!"
