On September 10, 1901, outside the Port of Trieste in the evening, a luxury cruise ship was approaching.
On the boat, Francesco, Duke of Algarve, looked at the shore getting closer and closer through the telescope, and recalled the experiences of the past nine years, which was unforgettable in his heart.
After finishing the lookout, the Duke turned around and squatted down. While stroking his son's head and killing him, he solemnly warned him again.
"Tangning, remember, your biological mother is Anna, and Helen is your biological sister."
"Father, I'm ten years old, don't touch my head anymore!" Tangning, who was wearing a little noble uniform, avoided her father's hand and complained.
Isn’t it that Anna is the sister of the Prince of Liechtenstein? Being born quite noble can avoid the oppression of status.
With this biological mother, his status as the crown prince of the Portuguese Miguel royal family is stable, and he does not have to lose his inheritance rights like Uncle Miguel who married an American woman.
"I have heard this sentence many times, and I understand it. Besides, Anna and Helen were originally and now my mother and sister, and they are my relatives."
"You are a kid who has been smart since you were a child, but because of this you are a brat, have your own opinions and are very naughty.
As your father, you rarely remember what I tell you, and you always do your own thing. What a ghost! "
Seeing his son trying to free himself from stroking his hair with his hands, Francisco became more playful.
Your Majesty, don't talk about martial ethics anymore.
He also stretched out his left hand, and both hands began to move at the same time, messing up his son's hair after a while.
"Don't think I'm verbose. With your temper, how can I trust you? I'm doing this for your own good."
Looking at his son's messy hair, the Duke, who was still unfinished, put away his hands and educated him seriously.
What what?
It has been ten years since the night of her wedding to Catherine, when her soul traveled to her predecessor, the wandering Portuguese MiG royal family.
After all this time, couldn't Tangning still understand her father? It's just jealousy, who told him to be so good?
"Ah! Father, you are a fool yourself. You are jealous that I am much smarter than you, and you always bully me.
Of course I understand what you mean. You always look for trouble like this, and you have to use the opportunity to torment me. It’s so annoying! "
Tangning touched her head and found that her hair was messy and scattered. She knew that her carefully groomed hairstyle was gone again, and her mood suddenly became bad.
"Damn it! My hair needs fixing again."
Tangning grumbled, walked away from her father, and ran to find Mirror and Shuzi.
The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the hairstyle cannot be messed up.
As a handsome man, Tang Ning has always cared about his hairstyle, no matter his past or present life. This is the foundation of a man's identity.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the luxurious family cabin, Anna, who was telling fairy tales to her daughter Helen, heard the familiar rhythm of knocking on the door and quickly got up and opened the door.
"Tangning, why is your hair messed up again?"
Looking at her son's messy hair, Anna asked with a smile knowingly.
"Ah, my brother's hair has turned into a chicken nest."
Helen, who was lying on the bed, heard her mother's words, turned over and saw her brother at the door. She held it in for a while, but couldn't hold it back and started laughing.
"Ha! Ha! Ha~"
"Ha! Woman." Looking at Anna who was grinning evilly, Tang Ning expressed her cold and arrogant disdain, but she still looked for a mirror first.
"Where's the mirror? Where's my little mirror? Why is there only one hairbrush left?"
When Tangning opened the drawer, she found that there was only a comb left. She quickly realized that she had been tricked.
Hearing her sister's crazy laughter, Tang Ning couldn't hold back her cold and arrogant persona. She quickly ran to the bedside and suppressed her sister.
"Laugh! Why are you laughing? You don't have any ladylike qualities at all. You are almost seven years old and you are still so young.
No, as your brother, I have the obligation to educate you well! "
Tangning squeezed little Helen's fat cheeks with both hands, expressing her anger in the name of education.
"You little traitor, you must know where my mirror is, why don't you confess quickly."
"My brother is bad, I won't tell you."
"Okay, you actually dare to rebel. I can't spare you this matter."
Seeing her son and daughter having enough fun, the gentle Anna pulled Tangning to sit on her dressing table and began to style his hair.
"Thank you, Mother!"
Tang Ning felt warm in her heart as she looked at Anna who was concentrating on helping him get a haircut.
Although Anna is not his real biological mother, she really takes care of him like a gentle and selfless biological mother.
"Dear mother, can you tell me where my cute little mirror went?"
Anna struggled for a while, looking at her son with expectant eyes in the mirror, and finally decided to break the contract and tell him.
"You lost the bet with Helen last time and you didn't give your sister compensation. Francisco didn't tell you and gave the mirror to your sister at his own initiative."
"ha!"
Tangning looked confused. She thought about the situation for a while, and then said aggrievedly.
"Last time, my father and sister conspired to deceive me. I exposed the scam and had the nerve to ask me to compensate me."
"Brother just can't afford to lose!"
Although her father colluded with her and deceived her brother Tangning, which was eventually exposed, Helen did not feel that she was defeated.
"My brother always thinks that he is the smartest in the world, but if he is tricked by his idiot father, then he is considered a loser.
Anyway, Helen’s little mirror won’t be given to you! "
With Anna's help, Tangning's hairstyle was quickly restored to a look he was satisfied with. She walked to the bed and intimidated him with what she thought was a majestic look.
Tangning was prepared to listen to her sister's submission and apologize, but she didn't expect that she would dare to resist and cheat. She immediately became furious and started to teach her sister a lesson.
"Oh, my dear sister, she has such a bad temper. She must be given justice to correct her mistakes."
"Ah! Mom, my brother is bullying!"
As a petite girl, how could Helen resist her brother's just verdict and quickly called to her mother for help.
It was impossible for Anna not to express her daughter Helen's plea for help.
But when she was about to adjust the relationship, the situation suddenly turned around. As the elder brother, Tangning began to beg for mercy.
"Ah, Helen, don't touch my hair."
"Hey! Hey! Father is indeed right, you care about your hairstyle the most."
Tangning forcefully broke away her sister's entanglement and quickly stood up to protect her hairstyle.
"That idiot betrayed me again and led my lovely Helen to evil. It's really an unforgivable crime."
Tang Ning complained that her unscrupulous father had led her sister into evil.
"Click!"
Francisco opened the door and heard his son's complaint as soon as he came in. His face almost collapsed.
"cough!"
Francisco, pretending not to hear, warned the family to get ready, as they were approaching shore.
"We are almost entering the port. We should get ready. Aunt Adele has been waiting for us."
"Tangning, Helen, stop making trouble, pack your things and get ready to disembark."
Of course Anna was aware of her husband's embarrassment and spoke at the right time without giving Tang Ning the chance to complain.
"You two cuties, pack your things too, and don't keep your Aunt Adele waiting."
"Hai, don't laugh. Hurry up and pack your things and get ready to disembark."
Tangning still understood the priorities of the matter, and of course she would not make a fuss at this time. She turned around and patted her sister, who was still laughing.
"Aunt Adele, okay!"
Tangning pulled Helen and said hello to Aunt Adele sweetly!
"Wow! What two cute and beautiful babies."
There is Tang Ning, a black-haired boy who is handsome and tender, with neat hair, clean clothes, and a cool temperament. There is also Helen, a blond girl who is petite, sweet-looking, and has two cute baby bumps.
Adele, with her eyes shining, quickly bent down and gave Tangning and Helen a slap on the head.
Looking at the two lovely children in front of her, Adele Goodes, who had always regretted that she had no children, expressed her fondness for them.
"I really didn't expect that you two would get together, get married in the Far East, and have a pair of lovely children."
Faced with Francisco, the second son of his brother Miguel II who had not seen him for a long time, he did not expect to meet again, and he and Anna actually came together and had two very cute children.
"My sister Maria Anna and Grand Duke Guillaume IV of Luxembourg now have two daughters, Marie Adelaide and Charlotte, who are about the same age as your children and are equally lovely."
"Of course, aunt, our Miguel bloodline is so excellent."
Francisco, while very confident in the blood genes of the Miguel royal family, also expressed concern for his family.
"I heard that my Aunt Maria is pregnant again recently. Is this true? I hope it will be a boy this time so that the Grand Duke of Luxembourg can have a wife."
"Yes, but it's not optimistic.
I don’t know why, Maria and the fourth generation have the best fertility I have ever seen, but for some reason, all four of their children were female.
The Duchy of Luxembourg has a Salic inheritance law. The right of inheritance is clearly male, and the public is paying nationwide attention.
I really hope it’s a male baby this time! "
Looking at Aunt Adele who was a little sad, Anna comforted her with a confident tone: "Auntie, don't worry, Miguel's royal family is fertile, and a male heir will be born."
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
Today is a day of reunion, and it is not appropriate to discuss this kind of thing too much. What Adele should focus on now is her nephew who has returned to China, the Grand Duke of Algarve Francisco and his wife.
"You came back in a hurry, didn't you choose your address?"
"Yes!"
Francisco nodded, but now that he was very wealthy, he was not worried about finding a house.
"Your grandma, my mother Adelaide is living with me in Luxembourg now, why don't you come to Luxembourg."
Adele Gudes looked at the two well-behaved and handsome children Tangning and Helen, and suggested to Francisco and Anna.
"Mary and Charlotte are just a few years away from your children. If we develop a relationship now, maybe one of them can become his wife.
In this way, it can be regarded as a closer kiss. My mother, sisters and brother Miguel II should all be happy to see me.
What do you think of my proposal? "
Francisco frowned. While thinking, Anna spoke up.
"Francisco, agree with your aunt, I think our children need playmates."
Anna knew that her husband believed in free love and did not restrict his children, but the children were very young now. If they get along at such a young age, they might actually become one.
“Our children needed playmates and there was no better choice than Aunt Maria’s children.
After all, we are all a family and it is easy to get along with each other. I think Tangning and Helen will agree. "
Helen, who was too young to know the inside story, was very happy to hear that she had a playmate of the same age not long after returning to Europe, and quickly persuaded her father to agree.
"Say yes! Dad, I also want to have little sisters of the same age to play with."
Francisco is very soft-hearted and values family affection. He actually agrees with his aunt's idea, but he also wants to consult his son's point of view.
"Tangning, I think it would be better to go to Luxembourg, what do you think?" Francisco asked Tangning with a smile.
"Dad, I think Luxembourg is a good place, and I also want to meet my relatives."
Tangning nodded and agreed with the family's thoughts.
When you first come to Europe, it is definitely better to be able to integrate into a familiar environment than to live in an unfamiliar place.
Besides, Luxembourg is a safe place. Europe in this era is too chaotic, so living here is a good choice.
