In addition to the one-day delay in Bohemia, the next journey can be said to be a fast horse, and the journey took more than eight hours a day. Not to mention Anna, who was not trained, even the elite Prussian cavalry who escorted Anna was a little overwhelmed.
You should know that the roads are not the cement floors of later generations. Although the bluestone roads are hard enough, the flatness of the roads is far from the level of later generations. Although the four-wheeled carriages in Europe have achieved some shock absorption effects, it is still unbearable to travel for a long time. However, Anna grits her teeth and supports them all. She encourages herself in her heart. She must not bow to the Prussians. She has her own pride!
At the end of February 1790, Anna's carriage drove into Brandenburg, and on this day, William rushed from the Worry Palace to the Brandenburg Palace to welcome the princess of the Habsburg family.
The moment Anna got off the carriage, William felt quite amazed. Anna was originally very good-looking. The journey these days made Anna's face look strangely pale, but in that slightly weak feeling, it made people feel a little stubborn, which made William's eyes lit up.
William was not the only one who greeted Anna. Behind William were many relatives of the Hohenzollern royal family. Because Anna had a special identity, there were no Prussian government officials present. Originally, Louise was not going to let William come, but she could not stand William's insistence, so the crowd who welcomed Anna immediately increased to a higher level, and some people who should not have appeared here, such as Prince Henry.
However, because Anna and William have not yet married, and Anna came for the friendship between two families rather than two countries, it was not William who came forward to welcome Anna off the carriage but William's younger brother Carl.
"Dear lady, welcome to the Kingdom of Prussia!"
Carl's performance was quite appropriate, which made Anna feel a little bit of affection for him, but when she looked up and saw Carl's face that looked somewhat similar to William, the feeling in her heart immediately turned into hatred.
"Thanks"
Anna whispered. At the same time, a smile appeared on her face. The children of the big family knew to hide their thoughts since childhood. Her previous performance outside the Prussian Embassy in Vienna could be regarded as an abnormality.
Carl led Anna to William. Previously, in Frankfurt, Anna had already met William, and Anna still recognized her future husband. Although she was angry, Anna did not show any abnormality in front of so many people. Her performance was even for the strictest etiquette experts to come, but she could not find any problem.
Beautiful things always make people feel good, and a beautiful girl is even more intoxicating. No matter how Anna performed before, at least now she has gained the favor of all the nobles named Hohenzollern present.
However, although Anna concealed it very well. However, when she greeted Prince Henry, Anna still showed a little disobedience. Although she immediately concealed the past, how could this be hidden from Henry's eyes? The eyes are the window of a person's soul, and the spirit in the eyes often shows the person's most honest feeling. The hatred in the girl's eyes was still noticed by Henry, but the old prince didn't say much.
Looking at Anna in front of her, William's feelings were complicated. How stubborn the girl who bowed her head in front of her was last year? He knew that the girl did not like him in her heart. This could be seen from Anna's performance in Vienna, but even if she was unwilling to resist the pressure given by her family, which made William happy and a little regretful.
What is glad that her future queen is quite well-educated, but the regret is that this girl doesn't like her. Even this girl hates Prussia very much. Of course, what William regrets the most is why this girl didn't stick to the end! If Anna never shows up, then Prussia will have a legitimate excuse to deal with Austria in the future, and this excuse is still so perfect.
William went to greet Anna, and the three girls in Wuyou Palace were overthrown. They had contacted Anna last year. At that time, the girl did not leave any good influence on Du Li and others. Now this woman she didn't like will become the queen of Prussia. At most, she could only be considered a mistress, which made the three girls feel sad.
They are not the only ones who don’t like Anna. Christine, who is standing next to William, also doesn’t like the woman in front of her. Although this woman looks very friendly to her, there seems to be a mysterious feeling between women. At least Christine is only hostile to Anna now.
When Anna greeted Christine, the little girl ignored Anna and instead snorted her head away. This made Anna feel a little angry while being embarrassed. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two girls was a little awkward, William quickly spoke:
"Princess Anna, this is my sister Christine. Her personality is a bit cold, I hope you can forgive me!"
After saying that, William turned to Christine and said:
"Christine, this is Princess Anna from the Habsburg family. She is a very friendly person. Say hello to the Princess."
As he said that, William gave Christine a few more small winks, but surprisingly, Christine took William as if she hadn't seen it. After hearing William's introduction, she still snorted coldly.
Seeing Christine performing like this, William had to apologize to Anna in embarrassment:
"I'm very sorry, Princess Anna, my sister is spoiled by me. Please understand some of the missing parts."
Hearing William's apology, Anna chuckled and said:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite. I heard about the name of "Lithuanian Princess" in Vienna. I believe this is also a normal manifestation of His Royal Highness."
Before Anna could finish her words, Christine turned her head and said loudly:
"What Lithuanian princess? I am a Prussian princess. You are just a princess and you are not qualified to talk about me!"
Well, William had a headache when he saw the tension between the two women. To be honest, he really had no good idea for Christine. After all, in addition to his siblings, William seemed to have a layer of father's favor for his daughter. In short, as long as Christine was not too out of line, William would not be willing to scold him at all. Now in front of so many people, William naturally still has to take care of Christine's face.
"Haha, Princess Christine's name has been spread throughout Europe for a long time. I think there is no dowry in Europe that is greater than the Lithuania of His Royal Highness. Speaking of which, the girls in the royal family in Europe still don't know how envious of His Royal Highness. I believe that under the pursuit of so many people, the princess's pride is also reason!"
After hearing Anna's words, Christine was furious. She felt that the Anna in front of her was completely insulting herself. What does it mean to have no dowry than Lithuania? Is it said that so many people who pursue her are all for the sake of dowry? Also, when should her pride be based on the pursuit of those playboys outside?
Of course, it cannot be said that what Anna said is unreasonable. If William had not given Christine too heavy dowry, at least one-third of the people who pursued her would have been pursuing her. Although it was just a Western Lithuania, William allowed Western Lithuania to be completely autonomous. This also means that whoever marrys Christine can immediately establish an independent grand priest. This is simply a temptation that no man can resist!
Just as Christine blushed and wanted to refute, Prince Henry, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore. You should know that although all the relatives of the Hohenzollern royal family were present, this does not mean that these people would not gossip behind their backs, and this was something that Prince Henry didn't want to see.
"Okay, let's say less. Your Highness the Queen Mother is still waiting inside. Princess Anna, come in with me."
After saying that, Henry walked into the palace with his legs. After he finished speaking, Anna naturally had difficulty refuting it. And when she heard that Queen Mother Louise was still waiting for her inside, Anna felt a little nervous, although this tension was not the nervous feeling of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.
Fortunately, Anna did not get confused by Henry's words at this time. You must know that William is still present and said nothing. If Anna really followed behind Henry to meet Louise, she must have not got Louise's favor, because the woman who left her husband at any time would not get her mother-in-law's favor, although the two are not married yet.
Seeing Anna looking at her, William smiled. He knew what he should do at this moment. William walked to Anna, and then walked to her about a step ahead with Anna's head down.
William stood towards Anna and looked at him, and happened to meet Anna's gaze. Then William smiled slightly to signal Anna to follow, and then walked in. Behind Anna, the people of the Hohenzollern family had already been arranged in an orderly manner. Of course, only a few of them could follow Anna to meet Louise, most of whom were close relatives of the royal family.
Even if Christine didn't want to do so at this moment, she could only walk behind Anna, and beside her was Carl. After William and Anna took steps, everyone walked towards Louise's bedroom.
