May 1, 1831.

London, 10 Downing Street.

The official residence of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is now visited by distinguished guests. The person who came was Grand Duke Mihayel, the younger brother of Tsar Nicholas I of the Rakshasa Empire, and this Rakshasa Grand Duke who was almost a frequent visitor to No. 10 Downing Street brought a shocking news this time.

"What? Grand Duke Mikhail, what do you say? The marriage contract between the Grand Duke of Alexander and Princess Victoria is to be annulled? Why is that? ”

The Duke of Wellington was not very supportive of the marriage contract between Archduke Alexander and Princess Victoria, because the Rakshasa Kingdom seemed to be the "third-class white and fourth-class white" in Western Europe. Although Archduke Alexander's Rakshasa blood is very thin, he is mainly a German, and Princess Victoria is a native of Germany. But since he is the Grand Duke of the Rakshasa Kingdom, the son of the Tsar, and the heir to the throne of the Rakshasas, then ...... This "third-class white, fourth-class white" caste can't be shaken off.

However, recently, because of the Indian Empire's "victory and retreat" (obviously victorious, I don't know why it changed from defending Malacca to defending Su Yinshi?) The Duke of Wellington also had to seriously consider the possibility of the Romanov dynasty coming to England.

British King Romanov?

Still a little unwilling!

But to the Duke of Wellington's surprise, he hadn't made a move to stir up the marriage, and the Rakshasa people actually regretted the marriage first!

This is really deceptive...... How can such a thing as repentance be brought up by the Rakshasas? Even if you want to repent of the marriage, it has to be proposed by the British Empire! Could it be that after several "victories and retreats" in the Indian Ocean, the deterrent power of the British Empire has been exhausted?

"Duke," said Archduke Mikhail, considering his words, slowly, "the suspension of the marriage between Archduke Alexander and Princess Victoria was requested by the Ming Dynasty...... They believe that this is a necessary condition for the Ming and Great Britain to achieve peace and coexistence. ”

"What?"

British Foreign Secretary Robert Brown, who accompanied the Duke of Wellington to meet with Archduke Mikhaill. Peel couldn't help but interject, "Grand Duke, what does the peace between our British Empire and the Ming Dynasty have to do with the marriage of Archduke Alexander and Princess Victoria?" ”

The Duke of Wellington nodded and added, "And the Ming is the new Yellow Peril, the enemy of the entire West!" ”

Grand Duke Mikhail nodded approvingly, "Yes, they are indeed the Yellow Peril...... Very terrible Yellow Peril! These Yellow Perils are now eyeing Princess Victoria! ”

"What? What did you say? The Duke of Wellington looked at Archduke Mikhail in astonishment.

Grand Duke Mihayin pretended to sigh: "Duke, the Ming Empire has proposed a ...... A peace plan that would allow the Ming and the British to coexist at the limit. ”

"A peace plan? What is it? The more the Duke of Wellington listened, the more he listened.

"It was Zhu Xi, the younger brother of the Ming Emperor, who entered England and became the husband of Queen Victoria......"

"What?"

"Grand Duke, what are you talking about?"

The Duke of Wellington and Robert. Peel exclaimed.

"It can't be!" The Duke of Wellington roared, "The United Kingdom cannot marry the future Queen to the Prince of Ming...... Even if the Ming Empire is not as terrible as the Mongol Empire, we can't marry the princess to their prince! ”

Robert. Peel also nodded and said, "They're wishful thinking!" ”

Archduke Mihayel looked at the Duke of Wellington with a sad expression: "Duke, actually...... The Ming Empire was as terrible as the Great Mongolia back then! So we think the British Empire must prepare for the worst! What if they then fail to disintegrate India and fail to land in Australia....... It also failed to seize the Suyinz Canal and enter the Mediterranean. And the navy of the British Empire ...... What to do then? What can be done to stop the war that has kept the British Empire victorious? ”

......

Windsor Castle, located in the countryside of southern England, is at its best time of the year.

Early in the morning, a spring rain sprinkled all over the earth, with the scent of fresh grass, rushed through an open window and into Victoria's bedroom. The refreshing feeling brought by the fresh air was like a miraculous refreshment, which quickly brought the princess regent of the United Kingdom, who was lying in bed and a little confused. Then Princess Victoria opened her eyes.

The nominal regent of the United Kingdom was no more than a 12-year-old child, and not one of those "natural cow babies of other people's families", but a clumsy little girl, like almost all bear children of the same age, who were sleepy, playful, gluttonous, and uninterested in learning...... Although she had the most luxurious tutor in the UK, able to provide her with the best education and the richest homework around the clock, she didn't like it at all.

So when she slowly focused her gaze, and then saw a noble lady in a long velvet dress in front of the bed, she immediately closed her eyes in disgust, and covered her head with the quilt, as if she wanted to hide like this.

"Princess, it's time to get up, breakfast is ready, and after eating your new tutor, Duke Marlborough, will come and give you your first Chinese lesson."

Hearing this, Princess Victoria lifted the quilt reluctantly, sat up from the bed, and then glared at the lady in front of her, "What did you say, Lady?" What am I going to learn? ”

"Chinese...... The language and script of the Ming Empire! ”

"I know what Chinese is!" Princess Victoria asked angrily, "But why should I learn it?" I now memorize English words, French words, German words, Latin words, Russian words every day...... Now there is another Chinese word, which is too much, I can't remember! ”

A little more, indeed!

But as the future Queen of England, English is always compulsory, and then French...... Although France was not very fragrant after the bad luck of Emperor Napoleon, the aristocracy always had to talk a little about tradition, otherwise how could it be noble? Therefore, as the future Queen of England, I still have to memorize French words.

As for German, that's a must, Victoria is a German! You always have to be able to speak a little bit of your hometown.

Of course, Latin is also to be learned, and Latin was the "language of diplomacy" between European countries a few decades ago, and although it is not popular now, it is still when treaties are signed, and sometimes the Latin text is still used as the standard. There are also many treaties signed in the past, which are also written in Latin. As the Queen of England, Victoria doesn't know Latin at all!

The Russian language was learned by her young fiancé, Archduke Alexander, who could speak German and English, but the future Queen of England had to learn Russian for the sake of diplomatic reciprocity.

In addition to this large number of languages, Victoria also studied mathematics, philosophy, music, art, horsemanship, ...... Neither science nor quality education should be left behind.

"Princess," said the noble lady-in-waiting, who was responsible for taking care of Princess Victoria, smiled, "and you don't have to learn Russian from today, and there are no Chinese words to memorize." ”

Finally, there's some good news!

Victoria still doesn't know how hard it is for Chinese to learn...... I don't know that when he was young, he studied in the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and Jinguo, and was well versed in Oriental culture. Spencer. Churchill also prepared a brush for Her Royal Highness the Princess!

"But why don't I learn Russian?" Victoria felt that something was wrong, and looked at her chief maid and asked, "If I don't speak Russian, how can I communicate with Alexander's brother in the future?" ”

Also "Brother Alexander", the elderly baroness sighed, and said in her heart: "The Grand Duke of Alexander of the Rakshasa Kingdom is ready to repent of his marriage......"

Thinking of this, the baroness squeezed out a little smile again: "Your Royal Highness Princess, get up quickly, the Duke of Wellington, the Viscount of Melbourne, the Duke of Marlborough and the Grand Guild of Mihail will come over later, and they will naturally explain to you what happened......
