King Leopold I of Belgium and Princess Mary. Charlotte spent a full day at the Imperial Embassy in the Kingdom of Prussia and did not leave until the evening. At noon, the chefs of the embassy prepared a sumptuous Chinese lunch, and Jean-Claude I and Mary. Princess Charlotte was very satisfied. The reason why the chefs are working so hard is entirely because of the object of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's banquet, but the future concubine and the prince! Naturally, these chefs have to work a little harder.

Mary. Princess Charlotte has also made a great difference to the crown prince Longhua. Although the appearance of Longhua Oriental people does not quite meet the aesthetic standards of Westerners. But both in terms of demeanor and knowledge, he clearly surpassed his peers, which made Mary. Princess Charlotte fell for it. Coupled with the temptation of Chinese cuisine, it can be said that now Mary. Princess Charlotte no longer has any objections to this marriage.

Of course, King Leopold I of Belgium gained even more. The Empire will do its best to arm the Kingdom of Belgium and transform it into a regional military power. Although, in the future, it is possible that the Kingdom of Belgium will be drawn into the whirlpool of war. But if it can win, the Kingdom of Belgium, as the victorious country, will definitely be able to share the dividends of the war. King Leopold I was equally unwilling, and remained the king of a small country forever.

"Your Highness, you are very honest with Mary. Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte's senses, have they changed? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still doesn't want this princess, the minister can ask His Majesty. Abolish this family business. Foreign Minister Lin Zihao said with a smile.

"No need, Lord Lin. Mary is an innocent and lovely girl with such a concubine. Seems pretty good too! Prince Longhua said with a smile. Today's meeting made him very satisfied.

"Haha! Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tempted? Lin Zihao laughed. He is old and refined, and he has seen the expression of today's prince Longhua in his heart. What he just said was just a temptation.

Prince Longhua, after all, was still a child, and his face was suddenly flushed with shame. He pulled his legs and ran to the embassy.

Seeing Longhua's appearance, Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, and Liu Xihong, the Imperial Ambassador to the Kingdom of Prussia, couldn't help laughing.

On the night of November 20, 1848. In order to entertain the delegates of the Kingdom of Prussia from all over the world, especially the crown princes of those countries, the Kingdom of Prussia held a special dinner. The host of the dinner was not King Wilhelm I of Prussia. but the Crown Prince Frederick of the Kingdom of Prussia. William. Nicklaus. Cal. After the succession of William I. He has been established as the prince of the kingdom.

The Royal Palace of Potsdam, located on the outskirts of Berlin, welcomes luxurious carriages before it gets dark. These carriages belong to the embassies of various countries. The dinner to be held here this evening is to entertain the Crown Princes who have come to Prussia. These crown princes, including British Crown Prince Albert. Prince Edward, Crown Prince Nikolai of Russia, Crown Prince Franz of the Audi Empire. Joseph. Vittorio, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Willem, Crown Prince of the Netherlands. Princess Mary of the Kingdom of Belgium. Charlotte, and the Imperial Prince Longhua.

Among these people, except for Frederick, who presided over the dinner, and the Austrian Crown Prince Franz. Joseph, Crown Prince Vittorio of the Kingdom of Sardinia and Crown Prince Wilhelm of the Netherlands are adults, and the rest of the crown princes and princesses are still children. It's just that the empire standing behind them has unparalleled influence all over the world. In particular, British Crown Prince Albert. The country behind Prince Edward and the Imperial Crown Prince Longhua has faintly become the two poles of this world.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Imperial Crown Prince Long Hua, accompanied by Liu Xihong, the imperial ambassador to the Kingdom of Prussia, came to the Potsdam Palace to attend this dinner. Imperial Foreign Minister Lin Zihao has other matters to deal with.

"Welcome, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Frederick, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Prussia, greeted the arrival of Crown Prince Longhua at the gate of the palace. Crown Prince Frederick did not snub him because of the age of the imperial crown prince Longhua, but attached great importance to him. Crown Prince Frederick, who had already reached adulthood, knew more about the great strength of the Chinese Empire and the importance of the Chinese Empire to the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Good evening, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are so kind!" Longhua is very humble.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please come inside!" Crown Prince Frederick invited Crown Prince Longhua to the banquet hall.

At this time, in the banquet hall, the crown princes of other countries had already arrived. In addition to the crown princes of various countries, there were also the crown princes or heirs of many German states, as well as the children of some important ministers of the Kingdom of Prussia.

After Crown Prince Frederick brought Prince Longhua to the banquet hall, the eyes of everyone in the audience fell on Prince Longhua. After all, everyone in the entire banquet hall is white, and Longhua, an Oriental, naturally stands out from the crowd.

"Your Highness, are you here?" Mary. When Princess Charlotte saw the crown prince Longhua, she immediately came over to say hello, and then held Longhua's hand affectionately. The whole world knows that the princess of the Kingdom of Belgium and the crown prince of the Chinese Empire have a marriage contract.

"Mary, you're so beautiful tonight!" Prince Longhua said with a smile. This little girl, although she is still young, looks like a porcelain doll, and she is indeed very beautiful and cute.

"Really? That's great! "Mary. Princess Charlotte's face was suddenly full of smiles.

The other princes and princesses looked at the crown prince Longhua and Mary. Princess Charlotte's eyes have a lot of meaning. Some of the young crown princes looked at Long Hua with jealousy in their eyes. Mary. Princess Charlotte's reputation is well-known among the royal families of all Europe. Unexpectedly, it was snatched away by a yellow person. Especially Mary. Princess Charlotte's attitude towards the crown prince Longhua made them even more dissatisfied. And those princesses, the position is different from those princes.

What a great thing it would be if the crown prince of the Chinese Empire, the sole heir to that mighty empire, could become his concubine! In their little minds, they already knew how powerful and rich that country was. So much so that they looked at Mary. Princess Charlotte's eyes were also full of jealousy.

These little kids, although they are not very old. However, they were born in the royal family, perhaps they have been accustomed to intrigue since childhood, and they all seem very precocious.

Crown Prince Frederick introduced the Imperial Crown Prince Longhua to the people present with enthusiasm and ceremonies, claiming that he was the most honored guest of the Kingdom of Prussia. In the banquet hall, there was warm applause, and the ministers of the Kingdom of Prussia and the sons of the generals welcomed the imperial prince's visit. However, the crown princes of several countries who have a grudge against the empire, the table is not very good.

After the banquet officially began, there were a lot of little children around Prince Longhua, almost all of them were girls. They asked Long Hua a lot of strange questions, which made Long Hua a little difficult to handle.

"Hell, that abominable yellow-skinned monkey, why is he so popular?" Should Crown Prince Albert. Prince Edward said angrily. When Prince Longhua had not yet arrived, he was the focus of the audience, and everyone came to compliment him. But after Prince Longhua arrived, it seemed that something had changed.

Britain, as the world hegemon, has unparalleled influence throughout Europe and even the Western world. Almost all European countries have to look up to the British snort. Albert. Prince Edward, as the crown prince of the British Empire, has not been a scholar since he was a child, and no matter how hard he tries, he cannot meet his parents' expectations, which makes his parents and tutors very troubled. Coupled with the excellent character and learning of his sister and eldest princess, his weaknesses are even more prominent. You can't set a good example of being a brother in front of your younger siblings. In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a lazy, arrogant and lascivious gentleman.

Unable to stand the fact that the imperial crown prince Longhua stole his limelight, Albert. Prince Edward walked towards the Imperial Crown Prince Longhua.

He pushed through the crowd and walked in front of Prince Longhua. Although Albert. Prince Edward was only seven years old, but Westerners were already better than Easterners, and their height was also taller. makes him look bigger than Prince Longhua.

Prince Longhua looked at Albert, who suddenly appeared in front of him. Prince Edward frowned. He knew the identity of the other party, but he didn't take the initiative to provoke him. Now the relations between the Chinese Empire and Britain were already relatively tense, and although no war broke out, the armies on the Sino-Indian border had already begun a tense confrontation.

Albert. Prince Edward, with a high-spirited look, looked at Long Hua condescendingly, and said in an extremely contemptuous tone: "Yellow-skinned monkey, go back to the East, this is Europe, this is not your territory." Mary, you are a Westerner, how can you marry these lowly yellow-skinned monkeys? This is an insult to noble Westerners! ”

Prince Longhua's face suddenly became extremely ugly, which was not only insulting him, but also insulting the entire empire and nation.

"White Pig, you are slandering my empire and nation, I ask you, apologize to me immediately!" Prince Longhua said coldly.

"Apologize? Haha, who do you think you are? I am the Crown Prince of the British Empire, how can I apologize to you such a despicable fellow? "Albert. Prince Edward said disdainfully.

It's just that as soon as he spoke, he saw a fist flying towards him.

"Bang!" The angry prince Longhua punched Albert. Prince Edward staggered in his left eye. Then a punch was thrown to his stomach, leaving his body bowed like a boiled shrimp. (To be continued......)
