Chapter 386 The highest realm of bed politics (please subscribe, please vote)

"Nice to meet you, Your Highness Victoria."

In the splendid hall of the Hofburg Grand Palace, in full view of everyone, a beautiful boy of about sixteen years old, wearing a red five-clawed dragon pattern robe and a black gauze folded scarf, was speaking in English with the Princess Regent of the United Kingdom.

Princess Victoria, the Crown Prince, greeted and saluted.

Princess Victoria was born in 1819. She is only 13 years old this year. She is a pink and tender lolita. She is a small girl with very delicate facial features and a little baby fat. She wears a lace palace dress.

It looks like a British doll, which is quite cute.

Victoria raised her head and looked at the young prince of the Ming Dynasty in front of her. He was not as domineering as he had imagined. He was not only gentle and courteous, like a humble gentleman, but he also looked very elegant and handsome.

Under the watchful eye of His Royal Highness Prince Daming Lu, Victoria also held up her skirt and curtsied to Zhu Xiyan.

"Nice to meet you, Your Highness."

Her voice is very soft, her manners are calm and elegant, and she speaks flawless Chinese.

"You speak Chinese very well." Zhu Xiyou looked at the girl in front of him, lowered his voice, and started to speak Chinese.

"I actually don't know how to speak." Princess Victoria seemed a little embarrassed. Although she worked very hard to learn Chinese, she still had not mastered this complicated language and could only speak some simple conversations.

"Then let's continue talking in English." Zhu Xiyou laughed, "You must not have been learning Chinese for a long time, otherwise you will definitely master this language very quickly with your intelligence."

"I'm afraid I'm not as smart as you think." Victoria lowered her gaze in frustration, "Chinese is really difficult. It is not made up of letters, but made up of countless square characters."

"Don't be anxious, take your time, you will learn it, and I can teach you." Zhu Xiyou comforted her.

"That's great." The girl looked at Zhu Xiyan again, "But we in Britain are at war with your Ming Dynasty. Although there is no official declaration of war, the war has been going on for a long time."

"That's a matter for adults," Zhu Xiyou pondered for a moment, then spoke again, "It shouldn't have much to do with us, right? Adults always need to sign a peace treaty until the end of a war.

, and ours is the guarantee of peace, and this is also our responsibility as members of the royal family."

"Uh-huh." After hearing what Zhu Xiu said, Princess Victoria also felt that it made sense. She wanted to nod in agreement, but suddenly thought of something embarrassing.

Zhu Xiyou looked at the shy look of the girl in front of him, and just smiled and said: "Your Highness, can I ask you to dance? Although dancing with us holding hands will not bring peace to the world, at least

You can add a guardrail to this war. This excuse is a bit strange, but your highness, I just want to dance with you, is that okay?"

As he spoke, the Ming Dynasty King Zhu Xiu put his hand in front of Princess Victoria and formally extended an invitation to her.

Princess Victoria was a little shy, but she still raised her hand and took the hand of King Daming Lu.

The music of waltz then sounded.

While the boys and girls were dancing, in a conference room in the Hofburg Palace, several elderly men were sitting around laughing and discussing something in a low voice.

"Oh, I have started dancing and it is developing very fast. Duke, how about letting His Royal Highness Prince Lu become the crown prince of India?"

"This is not possible. The Crown Prince of India is His Royal Highness the Princess, and she will be the future Queen of India. Otherwise, Your Highness the Prince should be the King of Australia!"

"This won't work. Australians must get rid of British colonial rule, so the husband of the Queen of England cannot be the king."

"Prince, when you mentioned that Australians must get rid of Britain, did you ever think of asking for the opinions of Australians? Maybe they are all loyal subjects of the British King?"

"How is it possible? When you count Australians, you don't regard them as human beings, but classify them as animals. How can they become loyal subjects of the British King?"

"Prince, the Australians you mentioned turned out to be the Aboriginals!"

"They are the real Australians. Aren't they?"

"No, this is unacceptable!"

Among the several old men were Zhuge Weijiu, the King of Wu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhuge Weixue, the Marquis of Wuxiang in the Ming Dynasty, Wei Yuanda, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, British Prime Minister Wellington, British Foreign Secretary Robert Peel, and British Home Secretary Melbourne.

Viscount.

And what they are discussing is of course the conditions for peace.

The purpose of Zhuge Weijiu's proposal to make Zhu Xi the Crown Prince of India was to control the power of India. In fact, the Ming Dynasty had no intentions for Indian territory, but the Ming Dynasty could not allow India to be integrated into a unified country by the British.

India must be broken up into twenty or thirty small independent and semi-independent political entities.

While the Ming Dynasty was encroaching on India, Australia and western Oregon had to be taken over first.

The Duke of Wellington proposed that Australia should be kept on the British Empire's plate, but King Zhu Xi of Lu could be appointed as the Grand Duke of Australia - that is, Ming Dynasty should be allowed to eat a little bit of Australia's oil and water. But sovereignty is not negotiable!

However, the Ming Dynasty was unwilling to admit that the British Empire had sovereignty over Australia. According to the Ming Dynasty, Australia belonged to the native Australians, not the foreign white British!

In other words, the differences between the two sides are still quite large!

Zhuge Weixue spoke at this time: "Duke, Prince, let's not just talk about our differences, let's talk about our consensus. I think the marriage between His Royal Highness Prince Lu and Princess Victoria is the consensus between us, right?"

The Duke of Wellington nodded, "Of course! However, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the Crown Prince of the British Empire, but Her Royal Highness Prince Lu is not the presumptive heir to the Ming Dynasty throne. This does not seem to be quite equitable, right?"

Emperor Zhu Xijin of the Ming Dynasty still has no son. However, the rules of the Ming Dynasty are the "emperor selection system". The successor to the throne must be selected from the three princes' palaces, rather than ranking based on closeness and distance.

According to this rule, after Zhu Xiyou married Victoria, it would be impossible for him to inherit the Ming Dynasty throne, and his and Victoria's descendants would not be selected as heirs to the throne.

From this perspective, the UK is somewhat at a loss in this "super marriage".

However, Britain's losses also reflect the current battlefield situation - Ming Dynasty has a considerable advantage, and Britain is at a disadvantage.

So the Duke of Wellington just mentioned it to see if he could exchange this "suffering" for something from Ming Dynasty. Even if he couldn't exchange it, the marriage still had to be arranged.

Because the engagement between Victoria and Zhu Xiu is equivalent to setting up a guardrail for the disadvantaged British Empire - the empire does exist after all!

Otherwise, if the two sides continue fighting endlessly, they might completely destroy the British Empire, which would be a huge loss.

On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty actually wanted to protect the British Empire. Britain was a troublemaker in Europe!

Europe cannot be unified as long as Great Britain is here. Without Great Britain as a troublemaker, let alone Napoleon, Louis XIV might have failed in the great cause of unifying Europe. Except for Louis XIV and Napoleon, Europe has

In another timeline, the Germans were almost reunified! Wilhelm II and Mustache both had opportunities, and both were messed up by the British.

As an extraterritorial European superpower with deep friendships with France and the Rakshasa Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty wanted to avoid the unification of Europe and it was absolutely necessary to create a "Zhu Family Great Britain".

Because without the "Zhu Family Great Britain", Europe would not be able to form a tripartite state, but it would be easy for France and Rakshasa to confront each other!

The confrontation between the two powers is the most unstable. If you are not careful, it will turn into a unified one!
