After the dance, William and Catherine II looked at each other and smiled. The queen became slightly interested in the little guy in front of her. During the dance, the little guy kept communicating with her with eyes that were neither humble nor overbearing.
How many years has it been that no one has been able to be so calm under the influence of her own eyes? The Queen thought for a while.
But before the queen could think about it for long, William saluted Catherine II and turned around to leave, because William saw a little girl pouting in the crowd. If he didn't want to be surrounded by trouble all day long,
Now, William must comfort this little girl.
The dissatisfied little girl in the crowd was none other than Christine. At first, the little girl saw William walking down the steps and thought that William was here to invite her. Christine was excited for a while, but then
After seeing that William invited Catherine II, the excitement turned into resentment. If she hadn't taken the occasion into consideration, the little girl might have actually stepped forward and dragged William away.
Seeing William walking towards her, although the little girl felt a lot better, she still put on her stinky face and waited until William came over and said:
"Didn't you go dancing? Why did you come here? Just let me stay here alone."
After listening to Christine's words, William smiled bitterly. His sister was giving him less and less face. Of course, this also meant that his sister liked his brother.
"Is that an international etiquette? Think about it, the most noble woman present is Her Majesty Catherine II. If I don't invite her to the first dance, wouldn't it mean that I look down on her?
Christine, we are not here to play, we are here to do business," William defended himself.
After listening to William's defense, although she still felt a little awkward, Christine pretended to be generous and forgave William, and claimed that as long as she was present in the future, William must and could only invite her to dance.
A dance.
In order to make the little girl happy, William pretended to be reluctant and agreed to the little girl's request. As expected, after seeing William nodding in agreement, the little girl was extremely happy.
But before William could invite the little girl to dance, Rocks approached William and said:
"Your Majesty, Queen Catherine II just sent someone to invite you for talks."
After hearing this, William nodded and said helplessly to Christine in front of him:
"I still have some things to deal with. Just be obedient here. I will arrange for someone to follow you and don't run around." After the instructions, William followed Duke Rocks without waiting for Christine to answer.
After William left, several attendants quickly surrounded Christine. Looking at the wall of people surrounding her, Christine could only stamp her feet fiercely a few times.
William took Rocks to the door of a room under the guidance of the waiter. After the waiter knocked on the door, the door was opened from the inside.
In the room, Catherine II and Paul were sitting quietly on chairs sipping tea. After seeing William come in, Catherine II showed a smile to William, and she motioned for William to sit opposite her.
William took Rocks and sat across from the Queen.
Just after William sat down, Catherine II smiled first and said:
"I once had a good friendship with Frederick, and I hope this friendship can be passed down to you and my descendants."
"Of course, there is no conflict between Russia and Prussia. I believe that under the leadership of the Queen, Russia and Prussia will prosper together," William said evasively.
"His Majesty the King is a little dishonest. I heard that Prussia and Sweden entered into an alliance some time ago. This is not a reflection of friendship with our country." Catherine II was not satisfied with William's answer and then said
"I hope your Majesty will know that the strengthening of cooperation between our country and Sweden will not pose a threat to Russia. On the contrary, I believe that the strengthening of relations between Sweden and Sweden will make a huge contribution to the peace of the entire Europe," William emphasized.
"Oh, I don't understand this. Isn't Puri's alliance a huge threat to our Russia? Why would His Majesty the King say that it has contributed to the peace of Europe?" Catherine II stepped
Bu pressed hard and said
"The alliance between our country and Sweden is to strengthen exchanges among countries in the Baltic Sea region to achieve understanding. The threat to Russia is beyond mention. I think Her Majesty the Queen must also know that our country is carrying out a series of domestic reform policies, and the general
After the Austrian War, my experience was more focused on domestic affairs, so Her Majesty the Queen can rest assured," William said solemnly.
"Okay, even though your Majesty mentioned the Austro-Prussian War, I just want to ask your Majesty, in the early days of the Austro-Prussian War, your country requested assistance from our country, but when our country sent troops to help your country, your country actually fought with the Austrians
We are making peace alone, and I don’t know where your majesty will be with our Russian army.” William didn’t mention it, but it was a good thing. When it came to the Austro-Prussian War, Catherine II became very angry.
"We believe that the Habsburg family has been the hegemon that has dominated Europe for hundreds of years. We should not push it too far. Once the Habsburg family is allowed to fight to the death with courage, I think our country and your country will definitely suffer.
We have suffered heavy losses. What’s more, Queen Theresa is also a generational hero, and the hundreds of years of Habsburg heritage are no joke,” William elaborated.
But Catherine II was not satisfied with William's answer
"Your Majesty the King, you should know that if you kill a snake, you will be harmed by it. If the Habsburg family is allowed to recover, the interests of your country and our country will be greatly damaged." Catherine II calmly said
said
"Your Majesty the Queen, the peace talks between me and Austria are for peace in Europe. We in Prussia have made huge sacrifices so that the people of all European countries can return to a happy and stable life. I hope Russia can understand what our country has done for this.
"The sacrifice you made," William said with compassion.
This little liar pretends to be so great, Catherine II thought in her heart, but on the surface the queen still said:
"Our country can understand the huge sacrifices that Prussia has made for peace in Europe, but our country really cannot understand Prussia's partiality towards Austria after the war. There is absolutely no reason for the areas actually occupied by our country to be returned to the Austrians."
Catherine II spoke of the most uneasy part in her heart, and her tight lips after speaking revealed the dissatisfaction and anger in her heart.
