Chapter 26 There are countless cousins ​​in my family (continue to ask for votes)

After hearing what Nicholas said, George felt even worse.

The little bastard is not a human being. At this time, George has to be given eye drops. This kid will not be able to survive without it.

The little boy is pretending to be a good boy among a group of noble ladies. He is originally smart, looks cute and cute, and is harmless to humans and animals. He doesn’t know what he said, which made a group of noble ladies laugh. laughing out loud.

Maria, who was about to become queen, was covered in jewelry, sparkling like a Christmas tree, attracting everyone's attention.

Although Maria was born in the Danish royal palace, because her father Christian was only a prince of the Danish branch of the Oldenburg royal family and was not a direct heir to the Danish royal family, Maria's family was not wealthy when she was a child, and her only source of income was Christian's meager military salary.

This can also explain why Nicholas and Prince Peter have such a good relationship.

Prince Peter is another branch of the Oldenburg royal family.

When Maria was a child, she and her sister Alexandra lived in the same room, and their life was just subsistence, not much better than ordinary people.

In 1853, the Danish royal family became extinct and Christian was elected as the heir to the Danish royal family. The living standards of Maria's family underwent earth-shaking changes.

Interestingly, the reason why Christian was selected as the heir to the Danish royal family was not because Christian was closer to the royal family, but because Christian's wife, Princess Louise, was the niece of King Christian VIII of Denmark, so Christian was A husband is more valuable than his wife.

Speaking of family, Christian and Yaer have a mysterious connection.

Christian once proposed to Ya Er’s first love, Queen Victoria, but the queen did not like him——

Denmark is a small country with few people. Although Maria became a princess, it was not as powerful as Britain and Russia. Compared with the princesses, there is still a gap in living standards.

Becoming the Queen of the Russian Empire was a real rise to the top for Maria.

Probably because her family was relatively poor when she was a child, Maria had an extraordinary love for jewelry. The crown she is wearing now is made of 2,052 diamonds and is extremely luxurious.

This crown was made in 1856. It originally belonged to Queen Maria of Asia II. After the queen died, it was passed to this Maria——

Russian names are really hard to complain about, both of them are His name was Alexander, and their queen was also named Maria.

Maria's necklace is composed of 21 oval-shaped diamonds, 15 pear-shaped diamonds below, and connected with small diamonds. The total weight of these diamonds is 475 carats.

She also wore a set of bracelets and brooches studded with gems and pearls. One of the brooches had a huge sapphire in the middle, surrounded by diamonds, and a drop-shaped diamond dropped at the bottom of the brooch. pearl.

This brooch was a wedding gift given to Maria by the British Princess Alexandra.

This brooch was later bought by Queen Mary of England. After Queen Mary died, she left most of her jewelry, including this brooch, to Queen Elizabeth.

This brooch was worn by Princess Diana.

When Prince Harry got married, the crown Meghan wanted to wear the most was also from Maria’s jewelry store.

Seeing Maria, who was all covered in gold, George understood why Maria was so jealous of Ekaterina.

If Ekaterina came from a wealthy family, Maria would probably not be jealous of Ekaterina.

George didn’t want to take the initiative to join the crowd of ladies, so he went straight to Alexander, planning to walk around Alexander and leave.

Alexander was also surrounded by heads of state and royal heirs, and George couldn't squeeze in at all.

I turned back to look for Nicholas, only to find that Nicholas was surrounded by a group of princesses who appeared out of nowhere.

Nicola asked George for help with his eyes.

George turned around and left as if he hadn't seen him. As the most favored prince in the Ya Er era, George was theoretically one of the hosts of the banquet, but no one came to see George.

George was not embarrassed, he was happy and relaxed. As soon as he picked up a glass of champagne and was about to find a place to hide for some quiet time, he saw Alexander waving to him.

It was impossible to hide, so George walked over with a mature professional smile on his face.

The royal family’s professional smile focuses on a reserved smile that doesn’t show teeth. It needs to release enough affinity but also repel people thousands of miles away. This is subtle and requires long-term training to master the temperament.

"George, this is your sister Victoria's eldest son Friedrich - this is your uncle Mikhail - this is your brother Konstantin -" Alexander introduced George one by one, and George recognized them all in a short time. There are so many brothers and uncles and so many relatives.

The most important relative is Prince Albert from England. He is Maria's brother-in-law and the future King Edward VII of England.

So Ya San and Edward VII are brothers-in-law.

King George I from Greece was Maria’s second brother and Alexander’s uncle.

After his son-in-law ascended the throne, his father-in-law, Christian IX, naturally came to congratulate him in person. Crown Prince Christian of the same name was also present.

These are all relatives from Maria's side.

Crown Prince William from Germany is George's cousin from Paul I's side.

But William is also the grandson of Queen Victoria, and is also related to Maria.

Even George couldn't help but secretly marveled.

No wonder Alexander wanted to send Catherine to France.

If this were another country, maybe Catherine would have died in love.

Princes, crown princes, and kings all have a friendly attitude towards George. Their upbringing does not allow them to speak harshly to George in person.

At this moment, George was forced to play the good boy just like Georgi. For the sake of sympathy, George decided to let Georgi go and not share his common sense.

“If you hadn’t told me, I would have thought that George was already 16 years old. He looks taller than Nicky——” The European father-in-law looked at George with admiration, and George’s alarm sounded again.

Princess Tila, the youngest daughter of Christian IX, had married Ernst August, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Hanover, three years ago.

Fortunately, Christian IX did not have a daughter of the right age, otherwise George would really be worried that he would also become the son-in-law of his European father-in-law.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

Nikolai’s queen, Alexandra Feodorovna, was Princess Alex of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the Rhine. Her sister Elisabeth married Nikolai’s uncle. Sergey.

So Nikolai and his uncle Sergey are also brothers-in-law.

Alexandra is also nicknamed "National Cousin". Edward VII and Alexander III are both her godfathers. King George V and Kaiser Wilhelm II are her cousins. Her husband She was the Tsar, but so many relatives could not let her escape the fate of being shot in the basement.

"George has begun to learn riding and shooting. He will become the greatest general of the Romanov family and become our pride." Alexander's words made George shudder.
