Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 129: Prince Edward's Jealousy

Europe can be said to be big or big, or small to be small, and people's troubles will attract the attention of all countries and become the focus.

The Netherlands is now in a mess like a pot of porridge, and how can they cover up the crazy investment in the Far East.

What's more, the Dutch government has not thought about covering it up.

"I didn't expect that the Netherlands would attach so much importance to the Far East. It is said that the Netherlands has implemented many investment plans there.

If all are implemented, the Netherlands in the Far East will enter the fast lane of development, and the Netherlands will have a large hinterland.

At that time, the qualifications of the Netherlands as a big country will be greatly different from what it is now, and the country's potential will also be greatly improved.

His Royal Highness, we have to be careful of William IV, this is a thriving little lion, be careful that if it grows too big, it will eventually bite."

After Disraeli glanced at Prince Edward, he said with a worried expression.

Prince Edward's face darkened, and then he said dissatisfiedly:

"It's all my mother's trust in Viscount Palmersto. I believe that his indulgence to Holland has made Holland stronger and stronger, and it has developed to this level in just one year.

If it is not contained in the follow-up, it is very likely that it will threaten the position of our British Empire in the Far East, and even the Indian subcontinent will be affected by the developing Netherlands.”

"The crown prince is right. East India is not far from the Indian subcontinent. If the development of East India is really fast, it will definitely have a siphon effect on the indigenous people of India. Maybe by then, many people will run to the East because of this. India or even Australia, when the time comes, I can’t say, the international status of the Netherlands will be greatly promoted because of this.”

Disraeli said worriedly: "This is not in our interests. A strong Netherlands is a threat to the UK. But the Whig party, either explicitly or implicitly, supports the Netherlands in this direction. The motive is really unclear.”

After speaking, he saw that Crown Prince Edward was on the verge of anger, so he said without losing the opportunity: "By the way, His Royal Highness, I have been in contact with members of the Danish cabinet recently. It is said that the Danish royal family is now on the side of the arrangement for Yali. There is an ambiguous attitude towards the meeting between the Princess of Sandra and the Crown Prince in the Kingdom of Belgium"

Crown Prince Edward was shocked and looked at Disraeli in disbelief, "How is it possible? The small kingdom of Denmark, at first, relied on the United Kingdom to prevent other countries from pursuing responsibility for Denmark's surrender to Napoleon I, and now it even dares to disrespect Britain. ?"

Looking at Prince Edward, who was more and more unwilling to control his emotions, Disraeli added to the fire: "Yeah, I don't quite understand what the Danes think, but I heard that it was because of William IV."

"William IV?" Prince Edward didn't want to mention him, but he had to say it, so he said, "What does it have to do with him?"

tell you to pretend!

Still putting on!

Disraeli sighed: "It is said that Frederick VII valued William IV very much, so he intends to match the concerns of Denmark and the Netherlands a step further."

"How to go further?" Prince Edward asked tremblingly. Although he already understood what Disraeli meant by this time, he still asked without giving up.

Meanwhile, inside Buckingham Palace.

Some people are also pale.

Queen Victoria sighed: "Alice, originally I wanted to marry you into the Dutch royal family. William IV is a good home, so last time I arranged for Helena and Louise to accompany you to Amsterdam for the European Royal Family Blind Date Conference. It even arranged for the Viscount Palmerston to support you, but unfortunately it was interrupted because of other things."

Princess Alice heard a shy look on her face and lowered her head a bit.

And Princess Helena, who was standing next to her, changed her face, and lowered her head quickly, with serious dissatisfaction in her eyes, but she did not dare to express any thoughts, because since childhood, the person she was most afraid of was her mother, Victoria, in front of her. Queen.

Louise was very indifferent, seemingly indifferent to herself.

Although it was well concealed, who was the queen, seeing the carefulness of several people, she couldn't help shaking her head and smiling bitterly.

These sons and daughters, every peace of mind, when she thinks of this, she can't help but think of Prince Edward, that guy has been too close to the Tories recently, this is not a good thing, a king should have his own position, although he can't do it Be impartial, but you must also be completely yourself. Neither of the two major parties is a fuel-efficient lamp. Edward is a child who sometimes has mixed emotions, and is too easy to be used by others.

Forget it, still young, just take it as an experience.

Moreover, the British Empire can also have the capital to train Edward.

She was just about to tell a few people the precautions for other members of the royal family in the palace, but after a guard quickly came to the royal housekeeper and spoke softly, the royal palace headmistress walked in quickly.

She first glanced at Princess Alice, and said to the Queen with a contradiction: "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Denmark have just jointly released a message on one side."

Queen Victoria didn't care to continue knitting, and asked, "What news?"

The female manager said sternly: "The two countries announced that they will marry."

"Marriage?" The movement in his hand stopped instantly, his face changed slightly, his eyes revealed a coercive light, and he looked at the female manager.

And Princess Alice's face suddenly turned pale.

Princess Helena looked at the stewardess in disbelief

Princess Louise was also staring at the matriarch.

Queen Victoria asked: "Didn't Frederick VII have no daughters?"

Yes, Princess Alice and the others looked at her in confusion.

The female manager smiled bitterly: "Yes~lightnovelpub.net~ It is said that the object of the marriage is said to be the daughter of Crown Prince Christian of Denmark, the Princess of Alexandra, who will marry William IV."

boom!

Princess Alice suddenly leaned on the seat weakly, but fortunately, Princess Louise responded quickly and helped her.

In the end, Princess Alice pushed away Princess Louise's help, with determination on her face, and showed everyone an indifferent smile, but, do the people here believe it?

"Country Alexandra?"

Queen Victoria was dissatisfied for a while, "It's the member of the Danish royal family that Edward's guy has been thinking about some time ago"

The female steward nodded and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Edward also has a good impression of this county master.

It is said that some time ago, Princess Victoria was also invited to help with the connection, and she wanted to hold a formal meeting in the Belgian royal family, but it is said that the owner of Alexandra County refused.

Frederick VII's attitude is also unclear. I didn't expect that, it turned out that Denmark and the Netherlands had already had the idea of ​​marrying"
