Chapter Eighty-Five: The Beast and the Beauty II
According to Joey's plan, after entering the Charlottenburg Palace, William is ushered into Elizabeth's new palace, and Joey needs to find a way to lure out the person behind the plot to frame William and his mother.
After William successfully persuaded Elizabeth to give Joey a light signal, he took Elizabeth to the pond where Joey was, eavesdropped on Joey's conversation with the framer, and finally cleared the truth about William's frame-up.
Strictly speaking, Joey's strategy is very risky, and even has the nature of gambling, Joey is gambling, and the mastermind behind this incident at noon today is not Uncle Ernst, but someone else, as for not being in the palace, Joey can only gamble.
Joey's only confidence is that he organized a counterattack quickly, and he didn't have time to wait for William to lick his wounds, and he didn't have time to wait for his mother to calm down, so he directly counterattacked the enemy with the fastest speed, and the fight was the paralysis and carelessness of the Lord after he thought he had succeeded.
Today is Joey's lucky day, Joey was lucky to win, there is really someone behind Elizabeth's matter, and this person happens to be Joey's acquaintance, or Waldemar has always disliked, the Orthodox Rhineland Prince Alexander.
At a time when Prince Alexander, who had obviously drunk too much, was boasting about his religion, Joey, as a Protestant, happened to know the holy allusions of the Orthodox Church, and knew how to properly provoke a devout Orthodox Christian.
Of course, all this gambling was huge, but fortunately, Joey won the bet, and Lady Luck ended up standing by Joey's side.
If Lady Luck hadn't shown up for Joey tonight and hadn't let the mastermind come to see her, Joey wouldn't be afraid if he lost the bet. The lights on and out in the new palace show that William and Elizabeth have reconciled, which makes the two reconcile again, and it is also a severe blow to the main messenger behind the conspiracy at noon today.
Joey is also very confident that she can ask Ella's cousin who led her to Berlin at noon today, and even if she can't catch the culprit tonight, Joey is confident that the culprit won't be able to escape.
Therefore, the couple that rushed out of the woods were William and Elizabeth.
Seeing that the culprit finally admitted what he had done, when he turned his head in distraction, the pebbles that Joey had been holding in his hands for a long time were finally thrown out fiercely, towards the head of Prince Alexander, and Joey smashed the pebbles in his hands without the slightest mercy.
The back of Prince Alexander's head was hit hard by a pebble, looking at Prince Alexander's hideous appearance of covering his head and turning around, Joey sighed secretly, he was still too young, and the force of throwing the stone with all his strength was still not enough to hit an adult, but it only hurt the hateful fool in front of him.
The prince stared at the hateful little thing in front of him, which injured himself, and was about to pounce on it, when William's powerful right hook arrived, and the fist smashed firmly into the prince's face, and the prince seemed to hear the sound of his jaw or teeth shattering, and before he could verify it, he fainted directly.
"Willy, well done!" Seeing William knock down this bastard cleanly, Joey couldn't help but cheer in his heart.
"This punch is your reward for your rudeness to my mother!" William shouted, still unwilling to give the cunning Rhinelander who had fallen to the ground unconscious a few more times, but was hugged by Joey, Joey tried hard to wink at William, and whispered, "Go and comfort Ella first." β
Then Joey crouched on the ground and took a closer look at the hateful mastermind, then took off the prince's shoes and untied his shoelaces, using the skills he had learned at IDPA to skillfully trap the prince's hands with his shoelaces.
Standing up and saying to William with a surprised face, "Willy, I'll go to Grandpa now, you look at this guy, if he dares to shout and scream, you ....." Joey looked left and right, and finally saw the shoes that were thrown aside, "You use his shoes to gag his mouth!" β
The rest of the matter is simple, Joey directly found his ultimate umbrella, Emperor Wilhelm I, and carefully described the situation tonight in 1510, without adding fuel and vinegar, and without cheating.
If Joey missed something, the only thing that was missed was that Joey only said one of the two purposes for coming to the palace tonight, only saying that he was here to match William, and as for catching Prince Alexander, it was purely his luck and coincidence.
When William I ran to the lake and looked at Prince Alexander, who was sitting on the lawn with a languid face, it took only a few seconds to read from the Prince's fearful eyes that the cause and effect were not much different from what Joey had described.
After listening to the angry testimony of his grandson William and Elizabeth's weeping pleas, "Alex, why do you want to treat my daughter-in-law and grandson here?" The old emperor asked angrily, "I have never treated you well, and the Hohenzollerns have never been sorry for the Hesses, why did you do this." β
"Why?" Prince Alexander's eyes glowed red again, "You ask why, because I hate you eggless Prussians!" β
"Without the help of the Romanovs, you would still be a bunch of dogs whose backbones were broken in Jena, and after you Prussia stood up, you never knew about the Romanovs who saved you, and you have been stabbing the Romanovs in the back from joining forces with the British to the Berlin Conference last year!"
"You sinners, you heretics! I, an Orthodox Christian, will punish you! Prince Alexander cried out frantically.
"Maniac!" William I, whose face was pale, finally squeezed two words out of his mouth.
Immediately, William I directly ordered the revocation of all titles and honors of the Prince of Hesse, who had followed him for more than 70 years, on the charge of "dishonor".
A storm provoked by someone with a heart came and went quickly, and when many people didn't know what happened, things had already passed.
In the end, in order to accommodate Elizabeth's feelings, William I reluctantly agreed to Prince Alexander's resignation as Minister of the Guard on the pretext of ill health, and then placed him under house arrest in a remote castle in Hesse.
Although the scope of influence of this incident has been carefully controlled, it does not mean that no one does not know what happened, such as Bishop Adolf Stoke of the Vatican Mission Mission in Berlin.
Behind the turmoil in the Berlin restaurant that took place at noon on Wednesday was also the credit of the advice of the Bishop Stoker, who, according to the private agreement between the Bishop and the Prince, would take the incomparably healthy North German princess, Princess Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, to visit the Imperial Palace.
After all, after the intensive training on liberalism a few days ago, this Augusta Victoria princess can also tell a few liberal jokes in a decent, parroting manner.
The Bishop is confident that after Crown Princess Victoria's experience of the Berlin restaurant turmoil, with these liberal views, the Crown Princess will immediately like this healthy woman who loves liberalism.
Even through his own spiritual hints, it was not difficult for the Bishop to let the crown princess directly regard the Victorian princess as the best fiancΓ©e for her son William.
A quick storm on Wednesday night that Joey blew the Bishop's plan to the ground. On Wednesday night, when the Bishop learned of Prince Alexander's fate, he thought for a long time and finally decided that this was not the best moment for himself to launch the overly healthy North German princess.
A few days later, after receiving a private letter from Prince Alexander, the Bishop looked at the contents of the letter, and the Bishop's eyes appeared in front of the child, who was often shuttling through the palace, with a harmless expression on his face.
"This His Royal Highness Prince Waldemar is not simple......"
"Willy, you're really not simple! Really kissed Ella's cousin?! On the way back to the palace, Joey asked William with excitement and gossip.
"Hey, hey, hey....." William always had a satisfied smirk on his face, refusing to take Joey's words, neither admitting nor denying it.
Amid the laughter along the way, the carriage drove back to the palace.
The time was just right, and William and Joey returned to the time when the prince was just in time for dinner.
When William and Joey appeared at the door of the restaurant together with crumpled and greasy faces, everyone present was taken aback, but Princess Victoria understood that her two sons had avenged themselves from the eyes that could not hide their excitement when they looked at her.
The crown princess hugged her two sons hard, kissed their dirty faces hard, and then drove them into the room to take a bath and change clothes with a smile.
Joey showered and changed clothes much faster than William, who liked to stinky farts, and returned to the dining room early. When Joey walked into the dining room, he noticed that there was an extra family of four at the table today, judging from the fluent English conversation with his parents, there was no need to guess that they should be from the United Kingdom, could this be his tutor?
The problem is, two days ago, my mother just said that Mr. Barnaby was the first to come to Germany, and it was a Mr. Barnaby, not Mr. Barnaby's family.
Joey's doubts were immediately solved by his mother, and Princess Victoria pulled Joey and introduced her warmly to a middle-aged lady who couldn't see her age, "Annie, this is my Jojo, and I am the British tutor I hired for him." The other one you saw just now was his brother, Willy. β
"Jojo, say hello to Aunt Anne." After Joey's polite greeting, the crown princess was half complaining and half delighted, and said to Joey's newly recognized Aunt Anne, "Annie, I really didn't expect to invite you, a master, to bother with Joey's math, it's such a waste, I really don't know what to say." β
Joey listened to her mother's introduction, and carefully observed her math teacher, who was a very well-maintained lady, and the years had not carved any traces on her face, but still bloomed like a beautiful flower, and it was obvious that Aunt Anne was a great beauty at any age.
Later, when Aunt Anne's husband, David Charles Babbage, Joey realized that her aunt was a nobleman with a real title, so much so that when she introduced her to her, he was called the husband of the Count of Le Flace.
Then there is Aunt Anne's pair of children, and I can't wait for Aunt Anna to introduce a beautiful and tall Anglo beauty, dazzlingly appeared in front of Joey, with a beautiful and delicate face, so that Joey couldn't help but honestly evaluate that if Mary grows up to her age in the future, it is estimated that she may not be able to surpass her in appearance, and her new cousin is such a beautiful person.
"Joey, this is your cousin, Ada Elizabeth Babbage." Aunt Anne introduced.
"Hello, Your Royal Highness Prince Waldemar!" Cousin Ada gracefully bent her knees and greeted Joey.
Joey was just as polite, but her first reaction was, "Oh my God, it sounds so good!" β
In less than a second, Joey's emotion for his cousin's beautiful voice turned into curiosity about the names Ada and Babbage in the name of her beautiful cousin, "Ada and Babbage, why are they so familiar, Ada..... Le Flex and Babbage?! It can't be, right?! β
"Joey, Joey, this is your cousin, Dreyer Babbage." Princess Victoria could only be speechless for a while when she saw Joey, whose thinking had obviously gone off the line. Recently, his son is good at everything, but his thinking is often off the line, and he has an absent-minded look at every turn.
Joey's new cousin pursed his lips and said without scruples, "Aunt Victoria, people who see my sister have always had this stupid expression, and I'm used to it, so that's why, I hate why you introduce me behind my sister's back, no one has ever taken the great Dreyel Babbage seriously. β
Joey is also immersed in the memories of Ada Le Flex, the great digital queen and creator of computer programs, and Charles Babbage, the father of computers, but doesn't want to be picked up by her mother's ears.
Seeing Joey being carried by his ears like a little fox, everyone laughed, and Dreyer-Babbage looked surprised, covered his ears and looked at the crown princess and said, "Aunt Victoria, why are you like my mother, do you all like to carry your son's ears the same?" β
"When I'm naughty and disobedient, I'll just pull my ears, Dirk, would you like to try it?" Crown Princess Victoria asked Dreyer Babbage.
"Hey, Dirk, you'd better not try, my mother's tricks are beyond the imagination of this world." Joey was tugged at the ear, but he didn't forget to warn his new cousin.
"Alright, dear, Jojo has learned his lesson." The crown prince finally came to his son's rescue, and then said to Joey and Dreyer, "You two, sit down together and go over there for a quiet meal." β
While eating next to his new cousin, Joey immediately fell in love with this cousin who was honest and willful in his words and actions.
In his cousin's introduction, Joey finally confirmed that his aunt Anne was the daughter of Ada Leflace, the great queen of numbers and the creator goddess of computer programs, Annebella King, and that her uncle was the son of Charles Babbage, the father of computers, David Charles Babbage.
The reason why Aunt Anne was able to come to Berlin was that on the one hand, her maternal grandmother Queen Victoria operated, and on the other hand, her mother and Aunt Anne had known each other since childhood.
Crown Princess Victoria's friendship with Anne began with the friendship between her maternal grandfather, Prince Albert, and Countess Ada Lefresse. At that time, Joey's maternal grandfather was an important patron of the Royal Society in the field of material subjects and the principal of Cambridge, and Earl Ada Lefrese was the leader of the Department of Mathematics in the field of matter of the Royal Society and a professor at Cambridge.
According to later gossip research, Victoria was jealous because her husband, Prince Albert, had a close relationship with Byron, the daughter of Byron, the greatest British romantic poet.
Byron's first wife, and mother of the Countess Ada Le Frese, Anne-Isabella Milbanch, was also a famous London beauty, she was not only beautiful and white-skinned, but also a very mathematically minded beauty, known as the parallelogram princess. The Earl of Ada Le Flace inherited his mother's beauty and intelligence, as did Aunt Anne, who is now a Fellow of the Royal Society.
After listening to Dreyer's introduction, Joey sighed from the bottom of his heart, "I am really blessed by God to have the guidance of the Royal Female Academician!" β
Dreyer scoffed at Joey's exclamation, and said disdainfully, "My mother won't teach you during this time in Germany, and if you want to become my mother's student, first of all, you have to graduate from Trinity College." Then he patted Joey on the shoulder hard, and said with a sympathetic face, "It's my sister who teaches you math, who is good at destroying flowers with spicy hands, if you can't learn well, do you see my ears?" Hmph, it's going to be worse than me! β
"That pretty sister of yours can also pull people's ears?!" Joey asked in a low voice.
"What do you mean by will? You look down on my sister too much, that's called being good at it, you know! With Dreyer's affirmative answer, Joey sneaked a glance, sitting opposite, with a dignified face, and couldn't pick anything wrong with her beautiful cousin, only to feel that her ears were going to grow a little longer.
"I say, Dirk, are you bad at math?" Joey looked at the fox ears that looked a little like his own ears, and asked curiously,
"I'm very good at math!" Dreyer argued unconvinced, then looked down at his beautiful sister and said in a low voice, "It's just that I've been working on my grandfather's computer recently, and I'm going to take it a step further and be able to make it automatically calculate linear velocity and angular velocity, which takes a little more time, so..."
"Why does a computer that automatically calculates linear and angular velocity sound so familiar?" Joey asked suspiciously, "Dreyer..... Could it be..... Dreyer Computer?! β
"Hey, Jojo, I like what you call it, well, my computer is called a Dreyer computer!" Dreyer Babbage patted his cousin the shoulder.
