Chapter 8 Charlottenburg Palace
The next morning, while having breakfast with his parents, Joey convinced the Crown Princess and his wife that he would not have to wait for the arrangements of the emperor's servants, and would go to visit his grandfather today. The reason is very simple. Since the Crown Princess and his wife have decided that Joey would go to middle school to follow the emperor's wishes, then the good news should be that the Crown Princess came forward to tell the emperor.
So today Joey went to Berlin with his father, who continued to work at the Royal Museum, while Joey went to Charlottemberg Palace to see his grandfather. In the evening, Joey and his father returned to the Prince's Palace on the street under the Bodhi tree to reunite with the Crown Princess and his brothers and sisters.
The Crown Princess' family lived in two places because the Crown Princess was afraid that Joey's diphtheria disease would spread to her other children, so she arranged Joey's brothers and sisters to live in the Prince's uterus on the street under the Bodhi tree.
Strictly speaking, anyone who visits the emperor needs to make an appointment time. The specific time arrangement of the interview is the responsibility of the emperor, Prince Alexander, the emperor's attendant minister, and Prince Alexander decides who the old emperor will not meet.
Prince Alexander was a minister of the imperial palace with a prominent background. His father was Ludwig II, the Grand Highway of Hessen and the Rhine (there was another famous Ludwig II of Bavaria. Ludwig II of Bavaria was what he called the "Swan King" in later generations, and the famous Swan Castle was built by him). He is the uncle of Ludwig IV of the Grand Duchy of Hessen.
Prince Alexander, the Grand Duchy of Hesse, who was only 16 years old, became the attendant of William I, who was still the Prince of Prussia. He has always followed William I to fight in the south and north. He was a deep old emperor who loved high and powerful confidant.
But Joey learned from the memories left to him by the little guy Valdema that he should be the only person who can enter and exit William I's palace at will without reservation. The reason is that the old emperor gave an exception for his favorite grandson.
After several hours of bumpy ride, the carriage Joey was riding in finally arrived in front of Charlottemberg Palace.
The Charlottemberg Palace in front of Joey is not a replica of the reconstruction after decades of reconstruction after being bombed and burned by the British and American Air Force in 1943, but a German palace with an authentic Baroque architecture and Rococo decorative style.
The striking golden statue of Luck stands on the blue baroque canopy in the middle of the palace. On the columns on the roofs of the two wings of the palace are a row of marble statues of ancient Greek mythological figures, yellow facades and red roofs, and columns decorated with swirl patterns. A castle full of ornate decorations and colorful exterior shines brightly in the spring sunshine.
You can see the orange orchard, and you can also see the Langhans Tower. Behind the Spruce Avenue is the tomb of William III and Queen Louisa. Amid the sound of horse hooves, the scenery of Charlottemberg Palace is like a pattern and a picture of the scenery is displayed in the window of Joey's carriage. Joey quietly compared the impressions of Charlottemberg Palace in his eyes with the later generations.
Until he arrived at the main entrance of Charlottemberg Palace, Joey finally found a different place. The bronze horse statue of William, the Elector of Brandenburg, was not in front of the palace. In addition to this bronze statue, the Charlottemberg Palace copied later generations did indeed be meticulous, and Joey commented in his heart.
Prince Alexander was working on William I's schedule for next week in the office of the minister. A palace guard hurriedly walked in front of him and whispered: "Your Highness, Prince Valdema is coming down."
"Now?" Prince Alexander asked with a frown.
"Yes, His Highness the Prince has arrived at the gate of the palace and is now on his way to the emperor's office." The guard replied respectfully.
"It's such an upsetting family. The parents are both disgusting British people. Their disabled eldest son is trying every means to lure my pure niece. The younger son not only raises crocodiles in the palace, but also completely disrespects my power to enter and exit the palace at will. What's even more hateful, he actually brought his disabled brother's love letter to my niece! I'm so fed up with this family!" Prince Alexander was furious, but his face was full of smiles. "His Majesty the Emperor's favorite prince grandson came to see him as soon as he recovered from his serious illness. This is a great thing. Let me welcome Prince Valdema."
On the east wing of Charlottemberg Palace, Joey turned several corridors under the guidance of his servants, and William I's office white hall was just behind the two closed doors in front. In his previous life, Joey had visited Charlottemberg Palace many times, but Charlottemberg in his previous life was rebuilt into a palace-style museum after World War II. It was precisely because it was a museum that it lacked the vivid atmosphere of palace life.
Walking quietly through the Charlottemberg Palace, the inner walls of the palace in front of you are decorated with large pieces of brightly colored tender green, pink oriental brocade, and beautiful oak boards to make exquisite frames. Inside the golden frame are exquisite murals, a large number of gypsum decorations composed of garlands, bows and shell patterns, guarding the large colorful oil paintings on the ceiling. The palace is decorated with oak furniture under complex decorations... There are no signs and no disgusting isolation areas.
The court servants and servants shuttled through the quiet palace, and occasionally saw several unknown ministers bowing to him and hurriedly walked by. At this moment, Joey felt that he was walking in a gorgeous, exquisite, light and delicate history.
Just as Joey was so excited that he couldn't extricate himself from history, a smiling man appeared in front of him. "Prince Alexander." The man's name suddenly emerged in Joey's memory.
Prince Alexander in front of Joey was a white tight pants made of silk on his lower body, white high-tight silk stockings with black high-heeled fur boots, and a black tuxedo jacket on his upper body. His tuxedo had a very decorative collar and cuffs, and a white braided fake on his head. This was a West German with a low figure.
"Ah, this is not the Kuyloth Frach costume worn by the theater actors... Forget it, it is the three-piece suit worn by my father, which makes me more accepting. What is the difference between a man wearing tight silk pants and high heels and a strange man walking on the street in a ballet outfit? The cloth bag with patterns embroidered inlaid with gems on his crotch, is it Cordopez?" Joey suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with his appetite.
Similarly, Prince Alexander also observed Prince Waldma in front of him with a little surprise. "Why are the same as usual when wearing it? The British usually wear breeches and wool coats when they come to the palace. Why are they wearing Prussian military uniforms and wearing the octagonal star-shaped black hawk medal today? Hey, this rude guy, he is looking at me!" Prince Alexander could not bear Joey's gaze and decided to break the embarrassing silence between the two first.
"It's so happy to see His Highness recovered. Yesterday I told His Highness the Crown Prince that I hope His Highness will come to the palace to meet His Highness at the right time. I didn't expect that His Highness, you came so quickly, are really surprising!"
"Hello, Prince, I'm very happy to see you." Joey immediately realized that he had been rude just now, "I'm sorry I was distracted just now. Are you grandfather?"
"His Majesty the Emperor is in Whitehall. Your Highness, please come in quickly. His Majesty the Emperor misses you very much these days." Prince Alexander said with a smile.
"Oh" Joey was about to agree, but a sentence popped up in his mind, "Be careful of this cunning Rhinelander." In an instant, Joey swallowed the words that had already come to his mouth without hesitation, and changed his mouth: "Your Highness, please don't disturb my grandfather's business. I think I can do something else, well, for example..."
"Do something else?" Prince Alexander instantly raised the dangerous level of the situation. "For example... I want to send a love letter to his brother again? This is too dangerous, absolutely not possible!" Prince Alexander made a graceful gesture, signaling Joey to wait first, then turned around and walked to the door of Whitehall, and whispered to the two guards at the door.
"Is the dispute between His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister over?"
"Sir, I just ended the debate about Russia and Austria when I went in to deliver coffee ten minutes ago." Guardian A.
"Sir, there was no quarrel during these ten minutes." Guard B.
