Wild North America 1846

His Highness Tang-Li Kun, who had changed into formal court attire, was wearing a bright yellow tuanlong robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a seven-color glazed golden dragon crown on his head. Come.

In the eyes of the guests, this feels very different from just now.

Far away, Li Kun clasped his fists in a humble salute and said, "I'm really ashamed, Your Majesty Ludwig, I was in a hurry to show others, please forgive me for being rude, I'm being polite here. .”

Ludwig III saw that the other party was so humble and polite, and the depression in his heart had long since disappeared. He stood up and laughed and said;
"My dear Highness, your oriental royal attire is really amazing. I can feel the long historical heritage and rich accumulation. This is a culture that is completely different from Europe. It comes from the four oldest ancient cultures in human history. One of civilization. Praise God! It's so impressive."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty." Li Kun stepped forward and took Princess Owena's hand gracefully, and Princess Owena curtsied lightly to show her respect for the prince.

After kissing Princess Owena's hand, Li Kun said with an elegant gesture in line with European court etiquette; "Your Highness, the beautiful princess, holding your hand makes my heart beat faster, I don't know why I blushed? What a strange and novel experience!"

"Oh...Your Highness, you are so handsome and you speak so nicely, I feel like I'm going to be drunk." Princess Owena was not lying.

Under the gaze of Li Kun's bright eyes, two red clouds quietly floated on her delicate cheeks, and a layer of mist floated on her watery blue eyes, and she held Li Kun's hand tightly in turn.

Such a handsome prince who is so young, rich and rich, but was born noble, his heart is going to be drunk.

"I am very sure that Her Royal Highness is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in Berlin, bar none."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. You also left an indelible impression on me. I hope you can tell me about the mysterious Eastern Imperial Court. I am curious about everything."

"Hey...you two are enough, but don't be like those cunning British guys who can talk about the weather for half an hour." Princess Elizabeth stood by and looked at this and that, unable to bear it. Zhu interrupted the mutual compliments between the two of them, and then lowered his voice and complained; "Owena, it's my turn now!"

Li Kun smiled when he heard the words, then let go of Princess Owena's hand, turned around and looked at Princess Elizabeth with a smile.

Princess Elizabeth held up her skirt and made an elegant curtsy, and then offered to stretch out her snow-white and tender hands.

Li Kun leaned over and kissed gently, and Princess Elizabeth's body softened as if she had been electrocuted.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Li Kun asked with a concerned expression as he grabbed Elizabeth's lithe and soft body with quick eyesight and quick hands.

Princess Elizabeth, who is a bit ghostly and elf, deliberately cast a smug look at her sister Owena, turned her face back into a lazy and powerless state, and said in a low voice; "God! I don't know what hit me I feel like I have no strength at all, can you help me sit down, Your Highness."

"Of course there is no problem. Your Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth is the most glamorous and charming princess in the entire European royal family. I believe no one is more charming than you." Li Kun took advantage of the opportunity to send the compliments he was going to give to Princess Elizabeth.

Of course, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.

But some people believed it. Princess Elizabeth visibly trembled. She bit her red lips lightly and leaned her little head on Li Kun's powerful arms, feeling even weaker.

That strength, as if the wind blows and falls down.

This made Princess Owena next to her grit her silver teeth angrily, her towering snow-white chest heaving and falling, she was actually angry with her own sister.

The seasoned Ludwig III pretended not to see the two princesses competing to express themselves, and he might have some thoughts in his heart.

At this moment, only Colonel Escalade Fritch, a member of the royal family's military attaché, who stood aside, knew clearly that a marriage between the two royal families was basically impossible.

His Royal Highness Tang-Li Kun is the second heir to the Tang Empire, and he must marry a Han woman from a wealthy family with authentic blood, so as not to tarnish the blood of the noble royal family. This is unquestionable and undeniable.

The Tang Empire adopted an open-minded attitude towards princes marrying wives, but if His Highness Tang-Li Kun married these women from the European royal family recklessly, it would inevitably arouse the great anger of the Imperial House of Nobles, and proposed an impeachment memorial requesting the removal of His Highness's heir qualifications .

Even Colonel Escalade-Frech himself would be so angry that he would tell His Royal Highness what to do, and he must make him rein in the precipice, and must not take a step beyond the thunder.

How is it different from those concubine princes who have lost their qualifications as heirs to the throne?
It's not easy to say, he's just a son of the royal family who is just eating and waiting to die.

The difference is day by day, the heir to the second position, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a mistake, or if his life is not long, then he has a chance to inherit the much-anticipated throne of the Tang Empire.

Even if he can't inherit the throne, he is still the powerful prince of the empire. In the future, he may be granted the title of prince by His Majesty the emperor, and the people around him will naturally rise to heaven, and together they will become the hottest powerful faction of the empire.

If you don't have these thoughts, why do you let the prominent nobles of the empire send their sons to follow the princes and serve them diligently?
Is the son of the top nobleman in the empire idle?is it a lot?

Isn't there a suitable place to go?

The answer is obviously no.

With the continuous expansion of the Tang Empire, the cultural confidence of the Celestial Kingdom has become more and more deeply rooted, especially those Chinese nobles in the Imperial House of Nobles, who have always been proud of their Chinese blood, and now it is popular to return to The trend of seeking roots and ancestors in the land of China.

There is no way, these Chinese nobles have money and leisure. After the empire slowed down its expansion, most of them had nothing to do, so they started to toss about repairing the ancestral temple, the ancestral hall, and the family tree for pure blood. It is even bigger than the sky.

Marrying a hag is simply unimaginable.

The princes who are ranked after 15th in the line of succession, these old-fashioned princes in the House of Nobles will basically not stare at them, because there is no point in staring at them, and they can marry whoever they like, anyway, the empire will not be passed on to them.

As long as the princes before the 15th in the line of succession are not in a daze, they will not consider marrying a hag home as a wife.

Not even a side concubine, lest people make irresponsible remarks, even if the chance of inheriting the throne is lost by even one ten thousandth, it will make the people around these princes feel heartbroken.

Ludwig III and the two princesses did not sit for a long time. The two parties only met for the first time, and this trip was only a ceremonial visit.

It means that His Majesty the King of the Duchy of Hesse has come to Berlin. If you have time, you will often visit and deepen your relationship. This is probably what Qi means.

parting

The two princesses could barely move their legs, so they sat there and chatted for another 10 minutes without nutrition. It was not until Colonel Escalade Flech whispered a few times in his ear that Li Kun finally spoke. Suddenly realized, smiled and ordered;
"Come here, take two copies of the pearl squalane gel cream made by the imperial court, and give them to the two princesses respectively. I hope that the two princesses will accept the mere gift."

The court maid quickly brought the palace secrets in a beautiful lacquer box, and then opened the box. Inside, there was a dogfish pattern embroidered on black velvet, which was actually embroidered with gold silk.

There are 12 exquisite ivory carved bottles in the box, which turned out to be Chinese zodiac signs in simple and simple shapes. This gift really reveals exquisite thoughts everywhere, and the two princesses fell in love with it immediately after seeing it.

Colonel Escalade-Frech took the opportunity to help introduce it, which allowed the two princesses to know the mystery inside, and couldn't help holding the box and looking left and right, as if they couldn't put it down.

The two of them didn't know the ivory material of the bottle, and didn't understand the Chinese zodiac. After Colonel Escalade-Brech's explanation, they couldn't help but marvel at the profound Chinese culture, and the mysterious, ancient and elegant impression of the oriental royal family. rose to a new height.

"I'm really sorry, Your Royal Highnesses, since this gift has a certain shelf life, it will deteriorate if it is left unused for a long time, so it is not appropriate to give too much. I hope you can understand me." Li Kun said in a humble tone.

A moment later
After sending this group of distinguished guests out of Emmeline Palace, watching the carriage leaving under the protection of a group of palace guards, engraved with the royal family crest of the Ludwig family of the Principality of Hesse, the smile on Li Kun's face gradually faded, it was simply unbearable. Like a 15-year-old boy.

There are many heirs in the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty, and the competition among them is extremely fierce. Now the 12th prince Tang-Li Xin, who is only [-] years old, also joined in, competing for the favor everywhere, which surprised the crown prince and the seventh prince for a while.

They are all compatriots from the same mother, but the little eleventh prince already knows the truth of the winner's notification.

"Is there an encrypted briefing copied by the Royal Secretariat today?"

"Yes, Your Highness, today there is another letter from His Majesty, which has just arrived at Emmeline Palace."

"What?" His Royal Highness Li Kun's usually kind expression quickly darkened, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart and asked; "The arrival of such an important matter as a letter from the emperor's own handwriting, why didn't you report it immediately?"

Although His Highness Li Kun has always shown himself as a sunny boy, in fact, all the children born in the royal family are precocious. Their psychological age and maturity are far beyond their peers, so they can hide their true feelings without showing their emotions.

His anger made Colonel Escalade Flech feel deeply pressured.

He spread his hands helplessly and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, I only knew about it a few minutes earlier than you. The Holy Majesty's letter arrived with the diplomatic mail. When the military officer on duty opened the package, it happened that His Highness Ludwig and his party Arrived, they did not dare to disturb, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"No, today's military officer on duty must make a demerit. How can the emperor's order be comparable to a mere ghost? He doesn't even have a little weight in his heart. How can he be entrusted with it in the future?" Li Kun waved his hand in anger, and strode towards the study, As he walked, he said, "Immediately prepare to burn incense and wash your hands, and kneel to accept the holy will."

"Your Highness, I will arrange it immediately." Colonel Escalade-Frech did not dare to neglect, and immediately responded.
