In any case, Joey felt that she was the first person to be affected by her father's promotion. At the dinner table where the whole family had dinner, the several upcoming events announced by the Crown Princess were all related to Joey.

The first major event is that two parties will be held on two consecutive days this weekend. On Saturday afternoon, there is a salon in the science and culture industry, which is also a long-term science and culture salon gathering organized by the Crown Princess for a fixed time. The participants are mainly friends of the Crown Princess in the cultural and scientific industry.

Sunday night was a temporary preparation, but even more grand, a ball celebrating the crown prince's inauguration as Minister of Economic Affairs. The guests were important figures from the German economic and financial circles, including famous economists and entrepreneurs in Germany, as well as the emerging industrial capitalist class they represented, and the German financial capitalist class represented by banks and securities, and even the representatives of the Juncker landlords in the north and the ranchers in the south in Berlin.

The name of the party was the Prince's Palace, but in fact, the capital and preparation were the Charlotte Castle Palace. The crown prince and his wife accepted the positive goodwill of the old emperor. The relationship between the Prince's Palace and the Charlottemberg Palace began to become harmonious.

The Crown Princess asked every child in her family to do the master's work and to entertain the guests of the past two nights. In particular, Joey was deemed to be a little bit of a talented mind and talent, and was asked to be the little master of the Saturday salon dinner party. William and Joey's two sisters and second brother-in-law, as well as Joey and two sisters, were asked to attend the Sunday party in good costumes and be a decent gentleman and lady.

Joey carefully recalled the memories left by Little Valdema. It seemed that the Prince's Palace had not held any decent dances in the past eight or nine years. Joey could see that his mother attached great importance to Sunday's dance. The couple was able to return to the center of the imperial power stage and be watched again by everyone's attention. This feeling made the Crown Princess excited and made Joey noticed it far from the dining table. Joey was sincerely happy to return to the spotlight.

The second big thing is the question of where Joey goes to high school.

"Jojo, I discussed with your father. Since your illness has been cured, you can't delay your schooling. You will go to school next week. Regarding the school, we all think that studying in the Arts and Sciences Middle School is more suitable for you now. But studying in the school there, we still want to hear your opinion. You can have two choices, one is to go to a private Arts and Sciences Middle School, such as your aunt's Salam Palace School in Baden-Württemberg, or a similar private Arts and Sciences boarding school; the other is to go to the Berlin Public Arts and Sciences Middle School, which you can go home every day." The Crown Princess smiled and asked Joey to choose one of the two choices.

The Crown Princess looked at Joey who was hesitant and joked, "If you are far away from home, you don't need to take the entrance exam. If you are close to home, you have to take the entrance exam. If Jojo is afraid of the exam, you can choose the far away. However, it is said that our Qiaojo is a genius, so what happens... "

"Brother, we will listen to your stories when studying in Berlin!" Alice and Princess Fiodora shouted.

"The Arts and Sciences High School is much better than my complete middle school back then. I did a good job in Jojo. You should know that it is much better in Berlin than in the countryside of Baden." William blinked hard and hinted to Joey.

"Congratulations, Jojo. I agree with William's opinion. The family must be together and meet every day." Joey's sister Princess Victoria said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll stay in Berlin!" Joey announced with his hands raised! Then the children slapped the table together and shouted loudly.

"Okay, okay." The Crown Princess signaled the children to be quiet and announced the last major event about Jojo. "Jojo, your personal teacher will also come to Germany for 6 consecutive times. The fastest one is Mr. Barnaby. It is said that he will be in Hamburg this weekend. I think you will meet this Mr. Barnaby after you start school next week. In addition, according to the telegram from your grandmother, other private teachers are also in contact smoothly. I hope they can come to Germany within this month."

"Several personal tutors, Qiao Qiao, you have to accept so many tutors while going to Liberal Arts High School? Oh my God, what is in your head? You really look like what my mother said, are you a genius?" William hugged Joey over and kept fiddling with his head.

"Hehe, it's just a few extra courses, I can handle it." Joey said with a smile in William's arms.

"A few extra doors?" the Crown Princess looked at Joey with sympathy. "Today Prince Alexander brought the news from the palace, and let me see what was written in the letter. Our dear little Joey, who is four hours a week, is trained in dance etiquette personally taught by His Majesty the Queen."

The Crown Princess looked at her husband and continued, "There are four days a month to report to the Berlin Officer's School on Frederick Street in Berlin, you have to receive the military education that the Prussian nobles deserve. Joey, the latter point is what your father is willing and specially requested."

The Crown Princess looked at Joey with some concern and asked, "Jojo, do you think you can eat and eat, do you want your mother..."

"Can we afford this tuition?" Joey touched his nose and thought for a while, then looked at the crown princess and asked.

"Oh, the letter says that the tuition for dance and military education is borne by the palace."

"Okay, add these two doors." Joey said with a smile.

"Hmph, it's good to be able to accept court etiquette and military training. If you have free things to learn, you won't learn it in vain. Since you are not afraid of traveling through time, are you still afraid of not being able to endure the hardship of learning?" Joey thought to himself.

Joey turned his head and saw William and his sister Victoria looking at her surprised expression, then changed his mind and said loudly, "Mom, can we invite our best friends to the weekend dance?"

William and Victoria's eyes lit up at their mother. At this moment, the Crown Princess felt that she was about to be burned by the eyes of these two children. She thought about it and nodded and said, "If one or two friends should be able to arrange it."

After hearing this, William touched Joey's arm with his elbow and whispered, "Hi, good done!"

"Hehe, my chocolate will be yours in the future!" Joey blinked and smiled.

"no problem!"

"Thank you, Jojo, my sister will bring you chocolates too." Princess Victoria said with a red face.

No. 49/51 Portland Street, London, the Embassy of the Qing Dynasty in the UK, and the Minister's Office.

Zeng Jize was writing at his desk and writing hard, writing for the three most famous newspapers in Paris, France, namely Le Figaro, the French Gazette and the Sunday, preparing to denounce France's two sides in Indochina affairs. Although Zeng Jize's French proficiency was slightly worse, his favour was because his writing style was sharp and his words were bloody. He was often welcomed by a large number of readers in these three newspapers because he could hit the key points of the French government and parliament.

Today, the article written by Zeng Jize for three newspapers is titled "On the Historical Status of Annan". The article focuses on Annan's history, geography and culture, and elaborates in detail why Annan is an inseparable vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. It once again clearly points out to the French people that French military colonization cannot conquer Annan, and Annan will definitely deal with France to the end with the support of the Qing Dynasty.

This is proven by the death of An Ye in 1873, and the Saigon Treaty in 1874 further proves the collective incompetence and stupidity of the French government and parliament. If the French government continues to ignore the justice demands of Annan and the Qing Dynasty, then what awaits the French will only be blood and death.

Just as Zeng Jize was declaring the French with great pleasure, the first-class secretary of the embassy knocked on the door and sent a telegram from the country.

This is a telegram from Beiyang Minister Li Hongzhang. The telegram is quite long, with some common polite words in front of it. On the one hand, the part in the middle proposes that the Qing Dynasty would order another mineboat from the UK. On the other hand, it would like to ask Zeng Jize to go to the Armstrong Shipyard to urge him to make progress on the four mosquito ships ordered last year. Zeng Jize was confused when he saw this until he saw the last sentence of the telegram:

"Brother Jie Gang, I remember that before you went to the land of Taixi in the fourth year of Guangxu, I said my parting words with you in Tianjin. Today, I mean it, I don't know if I want to help me."

Zeng Jize stood up straight, grabbed the telegram and then read the last paragraph of the telegram. After reading it carefully, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed!

In the fourth year of Guangxu, last year, Zeng Jize replaced Guo Songtao as the ambassador to Britain and France. On the eve of taking a boat out of Tianjin Port to Europe, Li Hongzhang had a deep conversation with his junior brother Zeng Jize. When talking about the coastal defense of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang particularly emphasized his envy of the strong ships and cannons in the West, and told Zeng Jize that if one day he could sell strong Western ships, he hoped that Zeng Jize could use his director who was good at negotiating with foreigners.

After Zeng Jize arrived in Europe, he was very good at learning and had done some in-depth understanding and research on the naval exhibitions of European countries, especially the Royal Navy ships show. He was extremely disdainful of the mosquito ships and mine boats that the Qing Dynasty had been purchasing. He has repeatedly advocated the purchase of ironclad ships and cruisers in China. Every time he sent a telephone call to the domestic General Affairs Office to review the benefits of ironclad ships and cruisers. However, the telegrams were basically stone cows entering the sea. Li Hongzhang occasionally called back and only said that he remembered the words of leaving Tianjin.

When I saw the last paragraph of the telegram today, Zeng Jize understood that the era of the Iron Crafts in the Qing Dynasty was not far away, but were the British willing to sell it?
