Frederick had been studying in England when he was a teenager, in comparison, Britain was the most enlightened country in the world, so Frederick was very talkative, and the open-top carriage had been introduced to the Empress Dowager in fluent English, and there were many coniferous forests on both sides of the German road, the style of the building was simple and simple, and the color was mostly gray and black, and there were not many people welcomed on both sides of the road, and soon they arrived at the Charlottenburg Palace, which was renovated after the establishment of the German Empire to entertain foreign heads of state. The previous Tsars and Austrians had stayed here, and the clean green lawns were already full of people, bands playing cheerful music, and Kaiser Wilhelm I and Chancellor Bismarck were already at the palace gates.

Kaiser Wilhelm I was a red-haired, mild-mannered old man in his seventies, with the traditional appearance of a modest Prussian officer, and despite his majestic appearance, he was often considered a bit of a woman's kindness by his underground courtiers.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, thank you for inviting me to visit Germany." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and said, Wilhelm I kissed the back of the Queen Mother's hand, "I am willing to serve you," and then introduced his Prime Minister, "This is the Prime Minister of the German Empire, Bismarck." ”

"Hello Prime Minister," Bismarck wore a military uniform, but did not wear a hat, had a long mustache, his mouth was tightly pursed, and his expression was very serious, and the Empress Dowager Cixi continued, "You are the best Prime Minister in the West in my mind. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness," Bismarck bowed slightly, taking the Empress Dowager's hand, "I wish you a happy time in Germany." ”

"I hope to have a good conversation with the Prime Minister," the Queen Mother said with a different meaning, "You know, I have come to Germany this time to ask His Majesty the Kaiser," the Queen Mother looked at Wilhelm I, and then turned her head to look at Bismarck, "and the Prime Minister, for help." ”

William I laughed and remained silent, "Please talk about these things later, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, I will introduce you to my family," the Empress of the Empire is the princess of a certain Grand Duke in the German Empire, gave birth to a son and a daughter, the princess has been married, the only royal heir is Crown Prince Frederick, the wife of the crown prince is Princess Victoria, a woman with red hair, she has a little boy in her teens, William I looked at the little boy's eyes full of love, and introduced to the Empress Dowager Cixi, this is Friedrich? William, the Queen Mother bent down, looking at this figure in the future history, as a traverser, what I like most is to see the appearance of these powerful people in their youth or embarrassment, the left hand of the imperial grandson William is somewhat disabled, he put his left hand tightly against the trouser tube, and bent down to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Empress Dowager also bowed slightly in return, this move is to treat the imperial grandson as an adult, and the imperial grandson who is probably still in adolescence is very excited.

The Germans have always been pragmatic, so after the welcoming ceremony, Kaiser Wilhelm I left Charlottenburg Palace with his family to return to Sanssusi Palace, where the royal family lived.

Little William waved his right hand excitedly, "Mom, did you see the Queen Mother saluting me?" What a polite leader! ”

Princess Victoria was unimpressed, but said, "Yes, Wesley," she called out her son's English name, "you're a little adult, too." ”

"I've been an adult for a long time," William Jr. puffed out his chest and shouted to his father, "Father, did you say?" ”

Frederick looked at his only son with a smile, compared to the British royal family, the German royal family has too few heirs, three generations of single transmission, "Yes, Free, you are already a man." ”

William clapped his hands, his left hand was a little disabled, so he always wore a white glove, and he smiled happily, "I hope to see this Chinese queen mother!" She is beautiful and her clothes are mysterious! ”

Frederick laughed, and Princess Victoria looked at her husband worriedly, "Mother has sent a telegram saying that this Queen Mother of the East may not just be here for sightseeing. ”

"Of course I'm not here for sightseeing, but don't worry, don't the British newspapers say it?" Frederick said, "She is a pragmatic ruler, she can see the reality clearly, she knows China's strength, and she will not do anything to England," Frederick is very contradictory, he admires the British style and way, but his position is here, he is the crown prince of Germany, everything is handled, and the behavior should be considered from the German standpoint.

"Vivian, don't say these things again, you know, my father doesn't like women to interfere in government affairs, and your position is very embarrassing," Frederick looked at his wife helplessly, "Your Excellency thinks the same way, although he has been bent on seeking a peaceful environment since his father's coronation, it does not mean that we can give up the rights and interests of Germany, although we have no intention of confronting Britain."
