Before the Ming Dynasty, it reconciled with Lucia by splitting the Grand Duchy of Xianbei. The daughter of the Grand Duke of Xianbei, a granddaughter of Emperor Lucia, had long been sent to "study abroad" with Prince Dashi. It is said that she has become Prince Dashi's exclusive mistress.

one.

The relationship between the Ming Dynasty and France has become increasingly close, and the relationship between Prince Dashi and the French Crown Prince is well known.

The only daughter of the British Prince of Wales went to Xintianfu twice in a row and had an ambiguous relationship with Prince Dashi.

The most important big countries in the western continent have now improved their relations with the Ming Dynasty, and Prussia will definitely be marginalized.

At the very least, its importance will be greatly reduced, and it will become increasingly difficult to take care of and support it.

After discussing it with his wife, William III felt that he should really try it.

So William III asked people to send formal letters to the Ming Dynasty Honglu Temple and the Zongren Mansion to inquire about related matters.

He also sent a telegram to Zhu Jingyuan in his private capacity to inquire.

Then I got two very similar, completely official responses.

“The marriage between French citizen Louis Charles Bourbon and Ming Dynasty citizen Liu Muyu is a personal act.

"The laws of the Ming Dynasty do not prohibit the marriage between civilians of the Ming Dynasty and the people of Thailand and Spain, but they do not encourage such cross-border marriages.

"The Ming royal family and the court will not organize any form of official cross-border marriage activities.

"If someone invites your royal family or nobles to participate in such activities as the Ming Dynasty royal family, clan mansion, or court, it is likely to be an international fraud. Please be sure not to be deceived."

Honglu Temple and Zongren Mansion are both official institutions of the Ming Dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible for them to respond to issues related to marriage.

The matter between Xia Er and Liu Muyu is defined as private behavior in the Ming Dynasty.

The official attitude of Ming Dynasty is that they do not oppose it, but they do not support it either.

What's more, Liu Muyu has a special identity and is the sister of Zhu Jingyuan's concubine.

If someone asks formally, they will definitely pretend not to know.

As for Zhu Jingyuan himself, he has no interest in this kind of thing.

The reason for introducing someone to Ciel is because both parties are familiar with each other, and Ciel really obeys his words.

Zhu Jingyuan had no in-depth communication with other Thai and Western royal families at all.

The key is that it is impossible to trust yourself like Ciel.

So I gave an official response directly and didn’t go into depth at all.

William III was immediately confused when he saw this reply:

"Personal behavior? Fraud?"

William III's Queen Louise subconsciously speculated:

"So Louis Charles of Bourbon met the sister of King Da Shi's concubine at a banquet in Xintian Mansion, and then the two fell in love?"

William III frowned and said:

"Of course it's possible, but I think it's probably just an excuse...

"I directly asked if I could introduce the two parties to get married. As for whether to combine, it all depends on the personal wishes of both parties."

William III gave his wife Zhu Jingyuan’s response:

"The key point is that Prince Dashi's personal response was completely similar to the formulaic official caliber, and he did not respond directly to my inquiry at all.

"This shows that our personal relationship with Prince Dashi is far from the level of discussing this kind of topic."

Queen Louise nodded after hearing this:

"Indeed, it is a well-known fact that the Charles of Bourbon and the Prince of Cathay were very close.

"People even suspect that the relationship between Ciel and Prince Dashi may go beyond a normal friendship.

"Especially after Charles went to Xintianfu, he started to wear dresses that were obviously ladylike after he came back."

William III thought and calculated carefully for a while:

"It now appears that the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit members of the Ming Dynasty royal family from establishing brother-in-law-like relationships with the Thai and Western royal families.

"But the premise is that both parties are willing to do it, and the relationship between the two parties is close enough.

"There is absolutely no basis for such a relationship between our two children... and Prince Dashi."

After hearing this, Queen Louise tilted her head and said:

"Then... we send several of our eldest children to the Ming Dynasty? To establish enough personal friendship with the Ming Dynasty royal family?"

William III was obviously stunned for a moment:

"This... seems like you can try it, but you can't send them all. Just arrange for one or two to go there.

"You can let William and Louise go there, a man and a woman, both have a chance.

"But in what name shall we arrange it?

"There is no direct relationship between us and Prince Dashi..."

Queen Louise thought for a while and said:

"Study abroad? Just like the Romanov royal family in Lucia, there is a tradition of sending their children to study in the Ming Dynasty.

"The current Grand Duke of Xianbei met his wife who was from the Ming Dynasty when he was studying abroad in the Ming Dynasty.

"Although we don't have an existing friendship with Prince Dashi, he is also the person we are most familiar with.

"We can ask Prince Dashi if we want to send members of the royal family to study abroad in the Ming Dynasty and if he can help arrange it."

William III shook his head after hearing this:

“Studying abroad can only go to ordinary schools, and there is no chance to enter the vocational schools of the Ming Dynasty royal family.

"Otherwise, the royal families of various countries in Thailand and the West would have long formed the habit of sending their children to study in the Ming Dynasty.

"The wife of the Grand Duke of Xianbei is just a commoner of the Ming Dynasty, a real commoner who has nothing to do with the royal family.

"What we want is obviously not this result. We want the children to establish a direct friendship with Prince Dashi...

"So we'd better be more direct and ask directly if we can arrange for our children to work and study with Prince Dashi."

Queen Louise said directly:

"That will probably be rejected..."

William III nodded subconsciously, then shook his head and said:

"Not necessarily...Prince Dashi's previous response was very official, we can be more official now.

“In order to enhance the relationship between the royal families of our two countries, we hope to arrange for members of the royal family to work and study next to Prince Dashi.

"We sincerely request Prince Dashi to provide the most basic care."
