Chapter 1001 The Prince’s Marriage
Although Ernst attached great importance to the development of the country’s alkali-making industry, he could not fully follow it. After all, he had too many things to do, especially during the First Five-Year Plan period. To put it politely, all walks of life need Ernst’s attention, and on this day, Ernst’s work was forcibly stopped by Karina.
Karina: "My dear, even if you are busy with national affairs, you can't forget sleep and food like this. And have you forgotten something important?"
Ernst Recently, my mind has been full of work. After all, the First Five-Year Plan has just Development, coupled with other major national events, it was difficult to find free time, so he really didn't react and asked uncertainly: "What big event?"
Karina said dissatisfied: "Friedrich How old is Xi? ”
Ernst: "Twenty...three!"
At this point, Ernst also realized that his eldest son, the grandson of the East African Emperor, is now twenty-three years old. , has become an older single.
Karina: "Two years ago I told Friedrich to look for a princess, but Friedrich always refused, and you didn't pay attention to it. If you don't look for it now, I'm afraid you won't find one. She is a perfect daughter-in-law.”
At this point, Ernst also looked sad. There are indeed reasons for this. The main reason is that the current European royal family is really difficult to make up for. Ernst was satisfied that this generation of European princesses not only looked average, but also had many bad things, and most of them were not of the right age or their family background did not meet the standards of the Rhine royal family.
Nowadays, East Africa is a well-known big country in the world. This narrows the scope of Friedrich's choice of spouse among the European aristocrats. It should be a direct lineage of the royal families of various countries.
Among them was Queen Victoria, a cancer of the European royal family, spreading hemophilia carriers among the major royal families. Ernst did not want his grandchildren to be infected with hemophilia.
For example, in the Tsarist Russian royal family, Nicholas II’s wife was the great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria and a hemophilia carrier. This made Nicholas II’s three daughters directly eliminated, otherwise Ernst really had the idea of marrying into the Russian royal family. After all, the overall quality of Nicholas II's daughters was relatively high among the royal families of various countries.
In his previous life, Nicholas II had only one son, Crown Prince Alexei. He was diagnosed with hemophilia after birth, resulting in being frail and sickly all the time. There is also Germany's William II, who is also a typical example. Victims of hemophilia.
If the princes of East Africa married the daughters of these people, the consequences would be disastrous. After excluding several large countries, there was no one in the small countries that satisfied Ernst.
In fact, when Friedrich was just born, Ernst was already conflicted about Friedrich's marriage, because at that time Ernst also wanted Friedrich to marry an immigrant of Far Eastern descent. After all, East Africa advocates national integration, and the royal family should naturally lead by example.
In order to prevent himself from getting entangled, Ernst decided to pass the blame to Friedrich. He tentatively said: "Why don't we just call Friedrich over and let's ask him what he thinks?"
See Seeing Ernst behave like this, Karina became angry: "I am the only one in this family." You have to stand alone, you heartless person. If your son’s life-long problems are not solved, let’s see how I deal with you.”
After saying this, Karina went to call Friedrich over. Friedrich was a little restless in the face of his parents' double concern.
"Father, mother, what's the big deal when you asked me to come here?"
Nowadays, Friedrich's appearance is still relatively online, and Ernst has to admit that this is mainly because Credit goes to Karina.
Ernst said earnestly: "Son, you are in your twenties this year. Many people in this age group have already started families, so I want to know what arrangements you have for your marriage?"
F. Riderich secretly thought that what was supposed to come had come. In fact, Karina had not stopped urging the marriage as early as Friedrich came of age. However, Friedrich was busy with his studies at the time, so she escaped for a few years. .
Sure enough, Karina said: "Your father has been busy with work and didn't pay attention to your affairs. I have also shown you photos and information of European princesses before, and you have also been there. I must have met a lot of people during my trip to Europe. Do you have someone you like?”
Although they urge marriage, Ernst and Karina are not the kind of people who advocate arranged marriages. It was influenced by the thoughts and concepts of the previous life, and Karina was influenced by the love brains of her parents. Friedrich said with some uncertainty: "Father, mother, I probably don't have any ideas about marriage..."
At this point, Friedrich was actually a bit insincere, after all, the questions were brought out.
Ernst thought this meant something was wrong, and he said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as your interests are normal and the marriage partner you choose is not too outrageous, we usually won't interfere, so You can speak out boldly, I don’t I will blame you.”
Under Ernst’s instigation, Friedrich cautiously tried: “What if your future daughter-in-law is a native of China?”
Ernst! Before she could speak, Karina said: "How can this be done? , your status is noble, and your marriage partner should naturally be a member of the royal family of various countries. Even if it is not an imperial royal family like the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is at least a member of the royal family of the Grand Duchy of Baden. In East Africa, apart from the royal family and your grandfather and grandmother, we have the highest level. He is the Duke."
Ernst: "Karina, don't get excited yet. In fact, according to Friedrich's status, it is impossible for him to find a nobleman more noble than himself as a marriage partner, so we Let’s hear what he says first.”
Although Karina is more open-minded, she is also very limited. The free love she thinks of should be based on her parents. The two are indeed free love, but they are also a noble marriage. But this kind of good thing may not be the best for the entire European aristocratic system. It’s also hard to come across.
Ernst: "Son, are you hiding something from us, otherwise you wouldn't be able to speak like a native."
Ernst knows very well that Fu There was something wrong with Reedrich. After all, he was very energetic. Combined with Ernst's previous life experience, he was very likely to have a tendency of "puppy love".
As for why it was a past life experience, it was mainly because Ernst was too mature in this life, so he was relatively flat when he got married. As for the result, it was not bad.
Friedrich said nervously: "I did have some interactions with a foreign girl..."
I'm afraid it's either an intersection or a love affair. Ernst had already made up his mind, but he still relaxed his tone and said, "Tell her about her situation. If it meets my standards, I'm not the kind of person who beats the odds."
So in Ernst’s With the encouragement, Friedrich revealed all the secrets. He had indeed fallen in love early, and it started in middle school. The object of his early love was the daughter of Ernst's subordinate Sweeter, and the two of them were in love. The relationship lasted from middle school to the end of college.
"Sweet's daughter?" Karina said: "Is it Anna or Quirina?"
Karina is no stranger to Sweat's daughter. After all, Sweat's daughter He also held a high position of power in East Africa. He also held a rare grand dukedom in East Africa, and Sweet was Ernst's confidant.
In this way, Sweet's family is naturally familiar with the Rhine royal family, including Sweet's three daughters. Of course, Sweet's youngest daughter is too young and is definitely not his son's love partner.
"It's Quirina," Friedrich said.
"If it's Quirina, it's not impossible..." Karina said: "That's a very sensible child, with good looks and barely qualified status."
In East Africa, the daughter of a duke is already considered a noble person outside of the royal family, and she knows Quelina and the Rhine royal family well, which makes Karina easier to accept.
