The Sun Never Sets In Spain

After Napoleon chatted with them for a while, he took the queen and left. He had other guests to entertain.

An old man, Anton, was uncomfortable among them. He found an excuse and threw the crown prince down, leaving the three young men to play together.

"Edward, how come you, a British crown prince, came to France?" The three of them found a place to sit down, and Alfonso was a little curious. "It stands to reason that you should be very busy!"

Before Edward could reply, Rudolph said enviously: "Edward usually plays everywhere. After playing in France in England, I have only been here for two days. He has been playing here for a month."

Edward rubbed Rudolph's head: "You can also play, don't you play when you are young, can you play when you are old?"

"Hey." All he got was a sigh.

Alfonso glanced at Rudolph with pity. He didn't know the story of Edward when he was young, but he knew a little bit about the story of Rudolph.

As the eldest son of the famous Princess Sissi, he has been kept under the care of his mother-in-law, Princess Sophie.

He received a good education and had almost no happy childhood, which paved the way for his future martyrdom.

"Although my mother didn't care much about me after I got married, I still need to pay attention to some influences in China. Only when I came to France did I find that France is really fun! I will not return to the UK in the short term."

Edward turned his head to look at Alfonso, took his hand, and explained with a smile.

"You can just play, why are you holding my hand?" Alfonso sneered and twitched his hand secretly, without twitching.

Although he didn't work hard, his strength was far beyond ordinary people. One can imagine how tight Edward pulls.

"..." Alfonso just stared at Edward blankly, and finally the other party let go of his hand in a slanderous manner.

He then continued: "Does the crown prince ignore political affairs? How will he succeed in the future?"

Edward looked like a fool: "Those ministers urge me to go to work every day, and I don't bother to care about them.

I have discovered that if you want to work, you will never finish the job, but things can still run normally if you don’t work.

Alfonso, don't let down your age, looks and surname. I will take you to the horse race tomorrow, which is fun. "

Alfonso shook his head and said speechlessly: "Do you think anyone is as idle as you? Only now Britain can support the crown prince having fun every day."

But when it comes to horse racing, he suddenly thought of a profitable business, and it was a profitable business.

"Edward, do you usually gamble on horse racing?"

"Who doesn't gamble? They gamble." Edward glanced at Alfonso in surprise, as if surprised how he could ask such stupid questions.

"Are you interested in opening a lottery? Combine the lottery with horse racing, and the issuing bank will issue lottery tickets to civilians to bet on horses and draw a fee from it."

Edward's eyes lit up and he touched his chin to think: "It should be feasible, no, it should be said that it will definitely make a lot of money.

But this kind of lottery is generally issued by the state. If it is private, I will find someone to help you register a patent, and then authorize it to various countries to earn royalties.

If you want to monopolize it yourself, it is impossible. If you don't make money for the country, they won't recognize your patent. "

Alfonso is not surprised, this kind of thing must be the government's biggest head.

There was also the thought of friendship with Edward in his heart, this one really became the emperor of England.

Edward smiled, and found a chance to rub Alfonso's hair again, and met Alfonso's bitter eyes, and said in a big brother's tone:

"How can I take advantage of the children? You can give me the exclusive authorization of the UK.

But you have great potential. Sure enough, you still have to take you to the horse race tomorrow. "

Rudolph next to him has been quietly listening to their talk. He is going to mention the lottery with his father after he has a patent. He has no private property to invest in.

However, when Alfonso and the two talked about politics from the lottery, he finally couldn't help but interject: "Edward, don't Britain feel that Prussia is too strong now? They defeated us in 7 weeks. They obviously want to unify Germany. !"

Edward said helplessly: "I can't talk about politics, they all think I'm a dude.

And you were defeated in 7 weeks because you hit two. I don’t know why your Majesty Franz was holding Venice to death. We also sent someone to persuade him. "

Rudolf was silent, Prussia demanded the leadership of Germany, and Italy demanded that Venice be taken back.

German leadership is a fundamental interest, and Venice is a secondary interest. It stands to reason that Austria can hand Venice to Italy in exchange for peace.

If there is only the Prussian family, they really don't necessarily dare to start. Once France decides to intervene, Prussia will be the one who hit two.

However, Emperor Franz may feel that it was disrespectful to cede without a fight, and finally chose to fight on two fronts, which led to the transformation of Austria into Austria-Hungary.

There is really nothing to say about this, Rudolph felt that his father's choice was a problem at a young age, but he didn't dare to talk about it in person.

Rudolph sighed: "Well, I won't mention the past. Prussia formed the North German Confederation last year, and we are worried that they have really completed the reunification.

Uncle Anton and I came this time to form an alliance with France and prevent them from continuing to expand.

Edward shrugged and said his own point of view: "It is unlikely that France seems to be demanding parts of Bavaria and Hesse-Darmstadt on the west bank of the Rhine as compensation for the neutrality of the Prussian-Austrian War.

There is no result in this matter, and they won't form an alliance with you.

In addition, China may also react to the alliance between France and Austria. The country feels that the balance of power in the mainland is now, and the strength of France and P.P. should not be much different. "

Alfonso laughed secretly, all of Europe was overestimating the military power of France, except for Bismarck.

At this moment, Napoleon stood in the center of the hall and said loudly: "This is a private ball. Those who are here are my relatives and friends, so I won't say much.

I only introduce a new friend, the prince who has been kissed by God, the Crown Prince of Spain, and His Royal Highness Alfonso! "

Then he waved to Alfonso, motioning for him to come.

When Alfonso walked over, the whole hall sounded a series of low exclamations. After more than a month of growth, his appearance could not be strengthened any more.

Now no one can associate him with the fat Isabella. Fortunately, Isabella is a queen. If it were a king, everyone would doubt that she was greened.

Alfonso said some ordinary scenes, although there is no special feature, but with his face, he still has a good impression among the noble officials present.

At least it left a deep impression on them-the most beautiful people in Europe.

Alfonso stepped down, the music sounded in due course, and the first dance began.

Just as Alfonso was about to choose a random dance among the waiting ladies.

Rudolph actually blushed and ran over, bent his upper body slightly, stretched out his right hand, and asked a little timidly but firmly: "His Royal Highness Alfonso, can you please do a dance?"

Alfonso was taken aback, and then smiled, only to feel that the child is quite cute, and stood up and said, "Of course, but I want to jump in the male step."
