Wang Guorui looked at Wilhelmina, and his mind couldn't help but start spinning, how to persuade this Wilhelmina to marry her daughter to the German prince. But for now, it seems that the queen Wilhelmina seems very opposed to her daughter marrying, because since she can give up her life in power in the Netherlands for her own happiness, and come to China with Wang Guorui to live in a foreign country, and have to endure the days when her husband lives with other women not far from the palace where she lives, and she cannot live together. And thinking of this, Wang Guorui also felt that he owed a lot to William Minna, in fact, William Minna was the woman who really paid the most for Wang Guorui. Even for his sake, he chose to turn a blind eye to the Chinese occupation of the Dutch colonies. If it were Wang Guorui, if Wang Guorui and Wilhelmina's identities were reversed, then Wang Guorui might take the opportunity to threaten the other party and use various means to force the other party to give up occupying these colonies.

However, Wilhelmina never threatened Wang Guorui with their relationship, and took the initiative to come to China, sitting back and watching her husband be with other women, and she was only able to let her husband accompany her occasionally. This is actually very unfair, so Wang Guorui actually feels indebted to William Minna in his heart from a personal emotional point of view. So now William Minna is resolutely opposed to taking her daughter to marry, so how can Wang Guorui open her mouth to persecute it?

What's more, Wang Guorui is also reluctant to marry his daughter to an outsider, after all, the princess does not marry outside, which is already the thinking of any future generations. Even if this Angelina is not her own Chinese princess, she is her own daughter. In Wang Guorui's eyes, she can marry a Chinese or a Dutch, after all, both of them are from her homeland. But marrying someone from another country makes Wang Guorui uncomfortable. But now they have to get married. And Wang Guorui didn't want to persecute William Minna, so that they suddenly had nothing to say between them.

The two were silent for a moment, and then Wilhelmina smiled bitterly and said, "Wang, it seems that you really don't regard me as your wife, do you?" ”

"Minna, how could you have such an idea? I've always thought of you as my wife, even though I have more wives. But I really do think of you as my wife. You don't have to think about it, marriages between royal families are inevitable, and you should know that. Wang Guorui said.

But Wilhelmina questioned Wang Guorui: "If you regard me as your wife, why don't you treat Angelina as your daughter?" You can openly declare that Chinese princesses don't marry, but what about this Angelina? For your future subjects, even if Angelina does not have the title of Chinese princess, even if she is the first in line to the throne of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, then she will be a Chinese princess in the eyes of your subjects. She is also your biological daughter, direct bloodline. So if you treat your daughter differently. Having two sets of standards, is this something you should do as a father? ”

"This ......" Wang Guorui had nothing to say.

If Wang Guorui is that kind of feudal king, he can confidently say many reasons, saying that there are different treatments. You must know that the treatment of China's concubines is different, not only are sons divided into concubines and concubines, but even if the daughters of concubines marry, they will generally not be easily married. Daughters are generally married to important people. Men who are too low in status or from too low families are not eligible to marry daughters. The status of the daughters of the concubines is different, and the conditions for the marriage selection of the daughters of the concubines are not so harsh. Men of lower status may also have the opportunity to marry. However, the daughters of the concubines will not be valued in the family, and even if they marry a concubine many years ago, they will treat several concubines as rao heads and give them to the husband of the concubines as concubines.

For many Chinese, even if this Wilhelmina is the queen, then her daughter is just a so-called "shu" for many traditional Chinese. It's just a matter of being out. is still a barbarian bloodline, which makes people even more disdainful. Therefore, in ancient times, many fathers could confidently say something different from their concubines, and it was reasonable to discriminate against their children openly, which was not only reasonable but also legal in ancient times.

But Wang Guorui is a descendant. According to the thinking of later generations, it should be fair to treat every child, and there should be no discrimination against a certain child. So Wang Guorui really can't say anything different, after all, years of education are not something he can change. In later generations, the fair treatment of children is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Wang Guorui is now about to become an emperor, and he can't say anything different. Even if there may be some differences in the succession to the throne in the future, Wang Guorui will try his best to give them the same in terms of property and their future education and various benefits.

"Can't you treat each of your children fairly?" Wilhelmina asked again.

Wang Guorui fell silent, she didn't know how to say it.

"In that case, why should I stay in China? Since you can't treat every one of your wives fairly, and you can't treat each of your children more fairly, then you are not a qualified husband, you are not a qualified father, then there is no need for me to stay in China, I will take Angelina back to the Netherlands. Wilhelmina said.

"This, Minna, has something to say, something to say. What are we not negotiable? Well, I have an idea, you see if it's okay! Wang Guorui said.

If Wilhelmina returns to the Netherlands, then I am afraid that Wang Guorui will lose face in China, just like the concubine of the ancient emperor ran out of the palace, which is a big scandal for the ancient emperor. And now the Chinese may not know so much, they still follow the thinking of this era, that is, if William Minna, the concubine, runs back to China without authorization, it will really be humiliating, it will be a big blow to Wang Guorui's reputation, so of course he can't let William Minna return to China casually. Even if he wants to return to China, he will announce that he will go back to save his relatives openly and generously, not that this kind of husband and wife fall out and run back to China, which is a shame.

"Say it!" Wilhelmina said.

Wang Guorui said: "In this case, we first pretend to agree to the Germans, and then get engaged first." Of course, our daughters are still young, and we said we wouldn't officially get married until they were adults. And now our daughter is just over two years old, and if we want to wait until adulthood, it will have to be fifteen years. Fifteen years later, the international situation has changed greatly, so we can find an opportunity to refuse this marriage, what do you think? ”

Wang Guorui already has a plan, that is, the so-called engagement first, and engagement does not mean real marriage. The engagement is just an agreement, anyway, you can regret the marriage when the time comes! Since ancient times, although the matter of repentance is not good, as long as you are willing, you can still regret marriage. Anyway, my daughter is still young, so let's get engaged first. As for waiting until many years later, the First World War would have inevitably broken out at that time. At that time, he could easily carry out the so-called repentance marriage, and at that time, even if the Germans suffered this dumb loss, they could only endure it.

This engagement was only used to appease the Germans, not to actually intend to get married. Anyway, as long as you can get engaged, then this will definitely appease the Germans, and then there will always be a chance to regret the marriage in the future. Anyway, when the time comes, it will be okay to delay something with the means of a country. At that time, as long as Wang Guorui uses some means to drag on his officials for a period of time, it can be delayed! For example, fifteen years later, the First World War would have broken out, and then at that time my daughter would be eighteen years old, and then even if I wanted to get married, there would be a means to delay. According to Chinese customs, what emperor marries a daughter or something, it is not a problem to delay it for three or two years. Anyway, as long as you are willing, why do you want to add to the sin? Delay for a year or two, that's fine. And a year or two later, the world situation changes again, and anyway, at that time, China can take the opportunity to send troops to intervene in the First World War, and then it will definitely get the most benefits. Even if the Germans don't want to cancel the marriage, it's not up to them.

Wilhelmina heard this, then sighed and said, "In that case, then it will be so good." However, I hope you must do it, and I don't want my daughter to be sent to marriage. Even if she marries a Chinese or a Dutchman, she can't marry a foreign country, do you understand? ”

"I see, I can swear in the name of my ancestors!" Wang Guorui said.

But Wilhelmina replied: "I don't need you to swear, anyway, if you can't do it then, then I will divorce you!" ”

"I'm rubbing, even saying such things as divorce?" Wang Guorui was also a little surprised.

I have to say that any woman, after giving birth to children, puts more energy into her children, and her husband has to be ranked second. Zheng Hong is like this, and William Minna is also like this, after they gave birth to their own daughters, even Wang Guorui's status as a husband retreated to second place. This may also be a woman's natural motherhood, and Wang Guorui, as a father, cannot eat his children's dry vinegar.

However, it can be regarded as convincing Queen Wilhelmina, and this can be regarded as solving the problem. As long as Queen Wilhelmina does not object, it is equivalent to one less important obstacle.

"Next, it's time to get the Dutch Parliament!" Wang Guorui said. (To be continued.) )
