Chapter 63: The Ball

Queen Eugenie looked at the old prime minister who had surrendered to her, and the anger that had accumulated in her heart for nearly ten years was finally extinguished. As well as the blue-skinned monsters who looked up to her with admiration, she suddenly felt much more pleasing to her, including the brat who had been staring at her baby granddaughter just now.

William I looked at his queen and clearly noticed that both sides breathed a long sigh, but within a few seconds, Queen Augusta suddenly turned her face and ignored her husband.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Prince were also participants in the German-French dance back then. After seeing this scene, they understood that Queen Eugenie might have let Prussia go.

Joey naturally didn't understand the reason, but she could clearly feel that from the moment when the old prime minister gave in, Queen Eugenie's aura suddenly became much softer. Before this moment, Queen Eugenie was like a majestic and imposing, opening the bird screen to try to show her blue peacock. After this moment, she was more like a bird of paradise with beautiful feathers, just scattering the charm of women, and no longer had an aggressive aura.

The old prime minister Bismarck also let out a long breath, and couldn't help but feel a little satisfied with his urgent wisdom. The old prime minister knew everything in his heart. Offending political opponents is not a terrible thing. At most, let them curse in the newspaper. However, offending the fans of the Queen of Fashion is not a matter of cursing. Receiving death threats is a trivial matter, and being scolded for several lifetimes is something imaginable.

After the storm, the most important guests of the Prince's Palace dance, VIp and VVIp, have arrived. Tonight, the lights on the stage of the Berlin Power Center have been on and the curtains have risen.

The dance begins, people fly and rotate,

One pair after another,

Gorgeous clothes glitter,

And the face was filled with fresh beauty.---Odoevsky's "Dance"

In the nineteenth century, a classic dance party usually ranged between five and six dance music. Usually, according to tradition, the first Poloniz dance music was the prelude to the entire dance party.

With the sound of Chopin's Poronets dance music (Polish dance music), everyone understood that the dance party of the Prince's uterus had begun. With the accompaniment of the Polish dance music, all invited people would come out to dance, regardless of whether he or she was good at dancing, no matter whether he or she was old or young. Under the soothing rhythm, the crowds of the entire Prince's uterus swam as if a dressed parade had begun. Without simple dance movements, the Poronets dance was more like a walking conversation.

Joey suddenly realized that he was a half-grown child, and in everyone's eyes, he was not a qualified dance partner. After fifteen minutes of the dance music, Joey was still sitting on the chairs on the tables on both sides of the dance floor, waiting for others to save him.

Looking at the dancing crowd with an increasingly cheerful atmosphere, Joey couldn't help but wonder whether he should hide back in the room... In the end, he could not give up on such vivid and exciting dance scenes in front of him. After all, this was the first court dance party he had seen since he traveled through time. He really couldn't bear to see the vivid palace dance scenes of the 19th century.

Should I leave or stay? This is really a question.

Suddenly, a small hand with white lace gloves appeared in front of Joey. Oh my God! Is there finally someone invited me to dance? Joey was so excited that he couldn't believe his eyes.

The next moment, Mary's flowery smile occupied Joey's eyes. Joey was confused and did not hear Mary's invitation clearly, so she was pulled into the huge dance parade in the Prince's Palace accompanied by Polish dance music.

"Why did Mary say you didn't know me just now? We are friends. You said so much that it made me... embarrassing." Joey couldn't hold back his questions in his heart. While dancing, he asked Mary directly.

"Silly duck, I really doubt how you took the court etiquette class?! Don't you know, how could you say you knew a lady before being formally introduced by his elders?!" Mary looked in a good mood. She did not tease Joey, but gave the answer directly.

"Ah!" Joey finally understood the root of the problem.

"Also, you stupid duck, don't you know that it's a man who should be inviting a lady to dance?" Mary asked seriously.

"Ah, yes, I forgot. Wasn't I stupid sitting there just now?" Joey asked in a hurry.

"It's okay, Joey, I'm going to invite you anyway, that's nothing." Mary said lightly.

However, Joey looked at Marie's pride that could not be hidden in her big blue lake eyes, and seemed to understand something.

"Mary, you invite me to dance... You just said that this is the responsibility of men at the dance party! But... But... it's you... Oh my God! Should I wait, I should curtsy to you?" Joey then realized that although Mary didn't witness it with her own eyes just now, the old prime minister gave tribute to Queen Eugenie, this huge gossip news had already reached her ears, and the unconcealed pride of her mouth had already explained everything.

"Is it from the prince's curtsy...ah, this picture is so beautiful, I'm really looking forward to it!" Mary tilted her head and blinked her big eyes at Joey.

Who will God spare... Joey decided to change the topic, otherwise he would definitely fall deeper and deeper.

"Mary, I really don't know that you are Queen Eugenie's granddaughter, but your last name is not Bonaparte?" Joey wisely changed the topic.

"Mr. Eugenie is my aunt and grandma, my grandma is Queen. My grandfather and father are the Duke of Alba of Spain, so my surname is Weisman." Mary explained patiently to Joey.

"Ah, that's how, Mary, why didn't you say it when we first met?" Joy asked.

Mary shook Joey a large lake blue sanitary ball with her eyes.

"Oh oh oh, the lady is going to be formally introduced. It seems that my court etiquette class has really gone in vain." Joey laughed at himself, while cleverly avoiding an obstacle on the way to dance.

"Well, the dance posture just now was quite accurate. I didn't expect that the stupid duck had a dexterity and graceful side." Mary praised Joey while dancing lightly.

No matter how good Chopin's Polish dance music is, it will eventually end. Although the opening dance of the Poronets dance lasted for a full fifteen minutes, Joey felt that he had only danced for less than five minutes, and the time was so fast.

At the end of the song, Joey did not throw all the court dance etiquette behind him, but instead asked Mary like a gentleman whether she would go to the buffet table to get some food, or send her back to her seat just now.

Kid, exquisite food is always more attractive than sitting on a chair. Finally, the two walked to the buffet restaurant next to the dance floor and in the wall hall. Before entering the buffet restaurant, Joey still had a clear understanding of the catering level of his Prince's uterus, so he was just going to invite Mary to drink soda and eat chocolate.

But after walking into the buffet restaurant and seeing the dazzling array of food on today's buffet table, Joey was shocked. He couldn't believe when his catering level had risen sharply to the level of Charlottemberg Palace. It was not until he saw the figure of the Queen's chef Franzken that Joey realized that behind the banquet at the Prince's Palace today was organized by his Queen's grandmother.

The Batenberg cake covered with white egg white and almond frosting was cut into a corner, revealing the shape of a chess plaid made of pink and light yellow almond sponge cake. It looks so tempting at first glance.

Next to it, there are colorful annual ring cakes that are stacked in a row, with round ring patterns like oak trees, wrapped in rich aroma chocolate sauce, and some are even covered with pink strawberry sauce, with white frosting. Both appearance and fragrance are worthy of the title of "King of Cakes".

The most conspicuous figure standing next to the annual ring cake of "King of Cakes" is the old prime minister Bismarck.

The tartness of cherries, sweetness of cream, bitterness of chocolate, mellowness of cherry wine, and rich and delicious black forest cake are the highlights on the buffet table, followed by yellow cheesecake covered with blueberry sauce, lemon-scented yellow cheesecake, and black poppy seed bread with full filling. Of course, the Berliners' own dessert, nicknamed "Berliners" fried bread, is also placed in a huge white porcelain plate. This fried bread similar to donuts is also full of red strawberry sauce or black chocolate sauce.

The croissants with creamy flavor, strawberry jam filling and chocolate flavor are also very popular. There are also hors dough with salt and butter next to them, and many people are visiting them.

As for the Storon cake that appears on Christmas, it is also placed in a porcelain plate, butter round cake with raisins and almonds, butter pie with crushed almonds, plum cake with a lot of plums and apricot pulp, crispy noodle cake with pudding filling, slightly browned apple pie baked on the surface of the apple filling, and cheese cake with butter and cheese is even more essential.

Various smoked, grilled and fried German sausages are indispensable elements.

Joey and Mary looked at each other, and they both read shock and surprise from each other's eyes. Mary bent her big eyes and smiled, "Joey, has your dance buffet always been so attractive? Oh, what should I start with? Oh my God, I have to get fat today."

"You must first satisfy your eyes, mouth, stomach and heart. As for whether you are fat or not, let's talk about it later. Mary, let's go quickly. I think they will eat up several things." Joey urged.

After a series of patiently picking up the food, on the way to the table, Joey held a huge dining plate with one hand, filled with various pastries and sausages, while Mary gracefully held a small dining plate with few slices of fruit cake in front.

In fact, most of the food on the plate in Joey's hand was ordered by Mary, but letting a beautiful lady carry a mountain of food always do not conform to the beautiful image of a lady, so he had to let the foodie Joey bear the infamous reputation. In the end, even Chef Franzken, who was familiar to Joey, asked Joey if he could eat enough, and if he needed, he could prepare some private snacks for Joey.

With the mentality of giving up a sheep and giving up a flock of sheep, Joey agreed without hesitation to Chef Franzken's kindness.

Mary still took good care of Joey's face and led Joey into a less eye-catching dining table position, but Joey finally found out that it was purely Mary's choice for a better feast.

The reason is that Mary eliminates the food level, not at all slower than the foodie Joey. But one thing makes Joey convinced that no matter how to eliminate the food, Mary's dining posture is always impeccable and elegant, which is much better than Joey.

Just as Joey and Mary were about to finish their meal, the second band had already changed. With the prelude of the brisk four-beat prelude of the elbow-arm bagpipes, violins, wooden flutes, tin whistles, double bellows accordion, harp and sheepskin drums, the Celtic cheerful Lille music was calling for everyone who loved dancing.

Joey understood her eagerness to try from Mary's blue eyes when she looked at her.

Joey stood up and paid tribute to Mary with a standard French court ceremony, and then offered a dance invitation. "Dear Mary, if you have not been invited to dance the second Lille dance, can you please let me invite you to dance this dance?" Joey instantly remembered the invitation words Mary had given herself before the Polish dance music.

"Dear Joey, I'm happy." Mary stretched out her hand to Joey with a smile.

Amid the melodious and cheerful Scottish bagpipes and sheepskin drums rhythmic hits, Joey and Mary stood at the end of the Lille dance line, imitating the dance of the leader of the team, laughing and spinning constantly.

An important point of Lille Dance is that during the dance, you must constantly exchange the dance leader. Each pair of leading dancers needs to try to make a unique move. Others should try to imitate the dancer's dance as much as possible until someone finally fails to keep up with the rhythm of the dance and automatically exits. The pair that will eventually remain on the dance floor will be the king and dancer of Lille Dance tonight.

The light music and casual dance are exactly in line with Joey's characteristics of being good at awkward dance. With his deep dance foundation and experience in cooperating with Joey, Mary has worked with him for several rounds of swing dance, mechanical dance and the ultimate killer ghost step dance, Joey and Mary finally successfully eliminated everyone and became the king and queen of Lille's dance tonight.

Everyone applauded the young dancer and the dancer.

After the greetings and greetings from countless admirers, Queen Eugenie also noticed the newly released dance king and dancer, and then looked at her best friend, Queen Augusta, in surprise, and said, "Mary, although I don't know what your grandson is dancing and can't see any dance composition, I still have to admit that this dance is quite good. It's really rare. Someone has inherited your dance genes, and I'm also worried that the Hohenzollern family will not be able to continue your dance talent."

Queen Augusta heard his best friend praise his favorite grandson and said to Queen Eugenie with a smile, "I think he is just dancing blindly. My dear little Marie is better for dancing. The little Marie is beautiful and dances well. I really don't know that the young man will be lucky to marry our little Marie in the future."

Queen Eugenie turned her head to welcome the admiration of a new group of admirers, and refused to accept the words of her best friend at all. She thought to herself, "Don't even think about your little thoughts!"

Crown Princess Victoria watched her young son and Mary receive applause and cheers from everyone, and said to the Crown Prince with some concern, "Dear, it seems that Jojo likes Queen Eugenie's granddaughter a little! Isn't this not good?"

"It's all children. In my opinion, they are just a simple friendship. Wiki, don't think so much. I think they are so good. Besides, Princess Beatrice looks like a very good little girl. They are about the same age, so I'm very happy to be able to play together. You know, Joey's performance is too much like an omniscient person recently..." The crown prince said, shaking his head with his hands and shook his head.

"Joey is the most normal thing in my eyes. He dances happily with Princess Beatrice, and he looks like my cute little son who has not grown up." The crown prince said disapprovingly.

Then he pointed to William and Elizabeth who were chatting by the dance floor, and said, "Wiki, I think you should pay more attention to Willie. He and Ella have already danced two dance music. It seems that the third and fourth dance music will be danced together. If this is the case, we have to think about what to do next. Should we find some time and discuss the matter between them with our brother-in-law Ludwig?"

Crown Princess Victoria looked at Elizabeth who was chatting with William carefully and said pickyly, "Ala's appearance is still worthy of Willy, but her figure is too tall, making our Willy look a little short, which can't highlight Willy's majestic appearance. Also, I don't like Ella's attitude towards jewelry. She likes to pursue those expensive jewelry too much. I think this will be a lot of pressure for Willy in the future. In managing housework, I think she has more things to learn."

Crown Prince Frederick tilted his head and looked at his wife, and said with a smile, "Wiki, your tone reminds me of my mother-in-law back then. Are the mother-in-law always so picky about their future daughter-in-law?"

Crown Princess Victoria gently poked her husband with her elbow and said in some annoyance, "Franz's joke is not funny at all. Willy will inherit your position in the future. His wife will be the queen of Germany. We must keep a close eye on him. Although Ella is not bad, she is still a little short of our Willy."

Crown Prince Frederick gently held his wife's hand and said softly, "Okay, dear Wiki, the happiness of the children is their own choice. We just support their choice behind their backs. Didn't this be agreed upon? Wait a lot of people need my social engagements. Dear, can I be lucky to invite you to dance the third dance music tonight, what about waltz?"
