    On March 7, a train departed from Munich Railway Station. This was a special train belonging to the King of Bavaria.  After the death of the previous King Ludwig II, this special train was used by the regent, Prince Liutpod.  Now, the future King of Bavaria, Ludwig III, is taking his daughters, the little princesses of the Kingdom of Bavaria, to Potsdam to attend the banquet hosted by Kaiser Wilhelm II tomorrow night.

    Wang Yuze and his wife have been staying in Germany for a long time. After attending the banquet, they will go to the UK. After attending the coronation ceremony of King Edward VII, they will return to the country.  The planned visit to France and the visit to the United States were canceled due to the formation of the Quadruple Entente by Britain, France, the United States and Russia.  Although the four countries of Britain, France, the United States and Russia stated that the alliance they formed was not targeting any country.  But any fool can see that this is aimed at China and the Allies led by Germany.  Wang Yuze's cancellation of visits to France and the United States also showed China's anger.

    In addition, Wang Yuze also needs to prepare early for this change.  Domestic military reform and the development of armaments must be accelerated.  So that in a few years, China will have enough military power to protect its own interests and get what China wants in the war.  Until now, Wang Yuze was not sure when the war would break out.  After all, before the outbreak of World War I in history, there were several incidents where guns almost went off.  It was just that the Allies and the Entente were not ready for war at the time, so the war was delayed.  Now, after changes have occurred in China, countries are likely to complete war preparations in advance.  Therefore, the war is likely to break out several years in advance. If we follow the timetable in Wang Yuze's memory, it will be inaccurate.  Therefore, China must also speed up preparations for war.

    On the special train of the King of Bavaria, several little princesses of the Kingdom of Bavaria were chattering.  They were full of yearning to go to Potsdam to attend the banquet hosted by Kaiser Wilhelm II.  Although the Kingdom of Bavaria is an important state in Germany, it cannot compare with the Kingdom of Prussia in terms of financial resources or prosperity.

    "Father, what is the theme of the banquet held by His Majesty the Emperor this time?" the fourth princess Hildegard asked curiously.  The other princesses also looked at Ludwig III.  They didn't know the reason why Kaiser Wilhelm II held a banquet and asked them to attend.

    "His Majesty the Emperor of China and his wife from the far East are visiting Germany. They are about to leave Germany. This banquet hosted by His Majesty the Emperor should be for His Majesty the Emperor of China!" Ludwig III said.

    "Emperor of China? Is he the emperor who is less than thirty years old but rules an extremely huge empire?" The fourth princess Hildegard almost had stars in her eyes.  After China defeated the five major powers and won the victory two years ago, the Chinese emperor became a legend, and his glorious deeds were spread among the upper classes in Europe.  The princesses of the Kingdom of Bavaria naturally knew about it.

    "Father, I heard that the Eastern Empire is more than twice as big as the whole of Europe. The population of China is twice as large as that of all European countries combined." The fifth princess Notte Bulga also asked curiously  .

    "Of course, China is a very large and powerful empire!" Ludwig III said.  He was thinking about whether to tell his daughters the real purpose of attending the banquet this time.  One of them will become the concubine of the Chinese Emperor, one of his many wives.

    Several princesses began to talk about the China they knew.  However, what they know is only a scratch.

    "Girls, okay, let me tell you some news. Maybe it will make you happy!" Ludwig III said.

    "What's the news?" Everyone looked at Ludwig III.

    "His Majesty the Emperor intends to marry the Chinese Emperor. However, the royal family does not have a suitable princess. Therefore, one of our princesses from the Kingdom of Bavaria will be a candidate for marriage and become the Chinese Emperor's concubine!" Ludwig III said.

    "Oh God! Father, are you telling the truth? Is it possible that we will be candidates for marriage and marry the Emperor of China?" The eyes of the fourth princess Hildegard shone.  She is already twenty years old, but she has never found a suitable husband.  And now, the emperor who rules a huge country is undoubtedly an excellent candidate.

    "Of course it is true. However, I want to remind you that the Chinese Emperor already has a wife. And he has five wives. One of you will probably become his sixth wife!" Ludwig III reminded  .

    "The Chinese emperor has so many wives, he is really a playboy!" said the sixth princess Wiltrud.

      "The customs in China are like this. As the emperor of China, he can have three thousand wives if he wants!" The eighth princess Helmchud seemed to know more.

    "Three thousand? God! How is this possible?" Everyone exclaimed, as if imagining how long it would take for these wives to see their husbands if a man had three thousand wives.

    Amidst the mixed emotions of the princesses of the Kingdom of Bavaria, who were extremely nervous and a little surprised, the banquet hosted by Kaiser Wilhelm II began.  All the great nobles in Germany were gathered at Sanssouci Palace.  The Chinese Emperor Wang Yuze undoubtedly became the center of the banquet.  A large number of German nobles greeted him and talked to him.  The ladies also rushed to invite Wang Yuze to dance, but they were all rejected by Wang Yuze.

    "His Majesty the Emperor of China, this is Ludwig III, the future King of Bavaria!" When Wang Yuze was a little bored, Kaiser Wilhelm II appeared in front of Wang Yuze with a somewhat bald middle-aged man.

    "I am very happy to see you! Your Majesty, the great Emperor of China!" Ludwig III bowed and saluted Wang Yuze.

    "It's an honor to meet you, His Majesty the future King of Bavaria!" Wang Yuze is also very humble. No matter what, this man named Ludwig III will become his father-in-law.  At this time, the Chinese Queen Xiong Menghan was at the German Queen Augusta?  Accompanied by Victoria, she had cordial conversations with several princesses from the Kingdom of Bavaria. She would choose a marriage partner for Wang Yuze.

    The banquet was very lively, and the young aristocratic princes and ladies regarded the banquet as a good opportunity to meet the opposite sex.  Wang Yuze also had very speculative talks with William II and Ludwig III.  Although only a few people know about the secret agreement signed between China and Germany, China has a very good relationship with Germany and has common interests, so the relationship is naturally very close.

    After the banquet, Wang Yuze took Queen Xiong Menghan back to his residence.  As soon as he closed the door, he couldn't help but ask questions.  "Menghan, who is your final choice?" Wang Yuze asked.  Although he said he didn't care, she was the woman he wanted to marry after all, so how could he not care!

    "Haha! Helmtrude, the seventh princess of the Kingdom of Bavaria, is very beautiful. I took a look and found that she has a good character and is not a jealous person. After she marries into the royal family, she should be able to maintain the harmony of the royal family.  !" Queen Xiong Menghan said.

    "Seventh Princess Helmchud? That little girl who is only 15 years old? Menghan, why did you choose such a little girl?" Wang Yuze was very speechless. Didn't he want his old cow to eat tender grass?

    "What's wrong with being 15? When I first married you, I was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Besides, wasn't Zhou Rui only sixteen when she married you? By the time you married Helmchud  By that time, she was already sixteen years old." Xiong Menghan said nonchalantly.

    Wang Yuze could only sigh and said nothing more.

    "Your Majesty, the other reason why I chose a 15-year-old girl is that she is younger and easier to teach. Those who are older have already developed their own personalities, and it is difficult to change them. No matter what they are,  No matter what your status, as long as you marry into the imperial royal family, you must abide by the rules of the imperial royal family!" Xiong Menghan said.

    "Okay, okay! It's all up to you!" Wang Yuze had no choice but to just ignore everything and wait to be the groom from now on!

    The next day, China dismissed Wang Yuze¡¯s choice, which was actually Xiong Menghan¡¯s choice, over Kaiser Wilhelm II.  William II was not surprised when he learned about the seventh princess Helmchud of China's choice.  In other words, he didn't care about Wang Yuze's choice at all.  All he wants is the result of the marriage between China and Germany.  Even if China¡¯s choice is the ten-year-old Ninth Princess Gundelinde, it doesn¡¯t matter at all.

    That morning, Kaiser Wilhelm II announced the news to the whole of Germany. The Chinese emperor would marry Helmtrude, the seventh princess of the Kingdom of Bavaria. The wedding was scheduled for next year, that is, in the spring of 1902.  The future King of Bavaria, Ludwig III, also said that although he was reluctant to let his daughter marry to distant China, he was very optimistic about this marriage, which meant that the relationship between Germany and China had become closer.

    Several princesses in the Kingdom of Bavaria had different expressions when they learned that the candidate for marriage was the seventh princess Helmtrud.  The older princesses were slightly jealous.  The marriage partner is the emperor of the most powerful country in the world!  Although she can only become one of his many wives, it is much better than marrying the king of a weak country or the son of a grand duke.  However, this result has already come out, and it is not something they can change!  (To be continued.
