"Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands!"
Mary exclaimed, "When did Tangning get involved with her?"
"Sister, please keep your voice down."
Charlotte was startled by her sister and complained a little.
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
Mary is very concerned about Tangning's secret.
She really wanted to know how her fiancé got involved with the Queen of the Netherlands. This was so exciting.
Mary suddenly thought of something, and then asked Charlotte speculatively.
"Do they have an affair?"
"Ah! Sister, how did you guess it?"
Charlotte, it’s hard to believe that her sister thought of it so quickly.
"Tangning, this guy likes to flirt with women. What if he has something to do with Wilhelmina? It must be this one."
Mary knew very well what kind of virtue her fiancé was. Although he was very kind to her, his nature was somewhat romantic and he was also very attractive to women.
"How did Tangning get involved with Wilhelmina? The two of them obviously have very little contact!"
In Mary's impression, Tangning and Wilhelmina had very few opportunities to contact each other on the European continent, and Tangning had been away from Europe for a long time.
Is it really not that far away that we can still be related?
"Sister, the affair between these two people began in January 1902."
Charlotte explained to Mary the origin of Tangning's relationship with Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands.
"Luxembourg and Helan are friendly countries, and our two families are also very close.
After New Year's Day in 1902, didn't my father arrange for the two of us to go to the Kingdom of the Netherlands to visit relatives? Tangning also went with us at that time, do you remember? "
"No way? It didn't start from that time, right?"
Mary said in disbelief: "Tangning was only 12 years old at the time. Could she have feelings for her for the first time?"
Tangning was charming among little girls and attracted them, Mary knew this.
But Wilhelmina was different. At that time, she was already a king and married.
Wilhelmina was born in 1880. Her father William III died in 1890. She inherited the throne, but because of her young age, she was regent by her mother. After her birthday in 1898, she officially ascended the throne in Amsterdam on September 6, 1898. Shortly after taking the throne, in 1901 she married Duke Hendrik of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
How could Wilhelmina like Tangning at that time? It was really unbelievable to Mary.
"Sister, brother Tangning, you are so awesome.
In less than half a month when we visited the Netherlands, Tang Ning quickly won the Queen's heart. "
Charlotte said with certainty.
In order to prove that she was not wrong, Charlotte also recalled more details and described it to her sister vividly.
"Queen Wilhelmina has been living a bad life since her marriage to Hendrik, Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Hendrick was very dissatisfied with his life and made rude remarks many times.
In the days after the two got married, Queen Wilhelmina kept trying to please him, but Prince Hendrick was always dissatisfied with the status quo. Not long after they got married, his true colors were revealed and he spoke harshly to her. Not only did he contact his old lover, but he also contacted her outside. Many other women he hooked up with were said to have illegitimate children.
Prince Hendrick's story was reported by newspapers, and the Dutch criticized him, but the prince did not change. Instead, he blamed the queen. From then on, the relationship between the queen and the prince became sour.
Sister, you know that Brother Tangning has always been very disgusted with Hendrick, a bad nobleman who disrespects his wife and bullies others.
The morning after Tangning's brother arrived at the palace, while playing in the garden, he saw Hendrik scolding the Queen, and mocked him for not being a man. The Prince got angry and scolded him, and then the two of them did not recognize each other and quarreled. They almost got into a fight in the end.
That afternoon, the angry brother wrote an aristocratic satire under his real name and published it directly in a Dutch newspaper, secretly scolding Prince Hendrick for his shamelessness.
During the days when we lived in the Royal Palace of the Netherlands, Prince Hendrick and brother Tangning had been tit for tat. In the end, the prince couldn't scold his brother and ran away.
While the prince was away, Brother Tangning somehow got involved with Queen Wilhelmina.
If it weren't for me, I accidentally saw two people kissing each other deeply once, and I wouldn't have known that they were having an affair! "valley
After hearing her sister's description, Mary couldn't help but sigh.
"It's really unimaginable to see an adult woman kissing a 12-year-old child deeply."
Tangning was only 12 years old, but she could actually kiss Wilhelmina, who was in her twenties. For Mary, it was simply too exciting.
"Sister, it's not as unimaginable as you think."
Charlotte explained to Mary with a serious face: "Although my brother is 12 years old, he is not short at all. At that time, he was only a little shorter than Queen Wilhelmina. And it was Queen Wilhelmina who took the initiative. He himself I lowered my head and kissed my brother's, and when I wanted to let go, I was entangled by my brother."
"Did they notice you except when you were kissing?"
"Of course I didn't notice. I was so young at the time. I hid behind the small box tree and they couldn't see me at all."
Charlotte patted her chest and said proudly.
"As for what they did after kissing, it seemed like they hugged each other, but I was afraid of being discovered, so I left quietly."
"Tangning, do you know about this?"
Mary looked at her sister, who was now looking a little weird, and asked this question with concern.
"Brother, of course I don't know." Charlotte said confidently.
"But then one time, my brother discovered it, and I was warned."
"After you discovered her, Tangning should have stopped this dangerous relationship."
From Mary's own understanding, Tangning didn't seem to like women who were much older than herself.
Wilhelmina was eleven years older than Tangning. After she was discovered, it didn't look like they were connected.
Judging from the situation, Wilhelmina should have taken the initiative, while Tangning just passively accepted it.
Recalling that I went to the Royal Palace of the Netherlands with my sister and Tang Ning, it seemed that the prince left in anger. What happened afterwards was that Wilhelmina took the initiative to seek to get close to Tang Ning, and Tang Ning did not respond often.
Tangning is so smart and would not do such a dangerous thing again after being discovered by Charlotte.
"No, my brother did have an indifferent relationship with the Queen for a while after I discovered him."
Charlotte shook her head and denied her sister Mary's guess. Although Tangning was not doing it at the time, the two still had contact later.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"Brother, I was indeed far away from the Queen at that time. But the Queen did not give up.
Once she lured me away with candy to create space with my brother, but I just pretended to leave. After I left, the queen seduced my brother.
The elder brother was very sensible at first, but after the queen took the initiative, she took the initiative to ask for a kiss from him. The elder brother refused for a while, and the two hooked up again.
Later, I asked Brother Tangning about it, and he said there was nothing we could do about it.
He said that Queen Wilhelmina was so sad. If he rejected her cruelly, it would make her heart that was already severely hurt by the prince even more hurt. If something happened later, it would not be good for anyone. "
"Is Queen Wilhelmina that extreme? It shouldn't be as serious as Tangning said."
Mary couldn't believe that Queen Wilhelmina could be so fragile. No matter how Tangning looked at it, she was overthinking and had such a kind and gentle heart.
"This should be like what my brother said. Sister, do you still remember?
Queen Wilhelmina, before Brother Tangning went to America, often invited us to visit the Netherlands, and she herself came to Luxembourg many times.
The first time she came to Luxembourg, Tangning's brother avoided her. He ran to Sal next door to Luxembourg, but he came back later.
Later, brother Tangning told me the reason. The reason why he came back was because he received a letter from the Queen, which expressed her sadness and longing. My brother was afraid that something would go wrong, so he came back. "
When her sister told her the story of the secret, Mary felt a little emotional that her fiancé's charm was so great.
Tangning, who was 12 years old at the time, could actually attract the 22-year-old adult Wilhelmina, which was beyond Mary's imagination.
"Queen Wilhelmina, I thought she was a very good person, but I didn't expect..."
Just when Mary was about to say something, Tangning walked into the balcony wearing pajamas and interrupted what she wanted to say.
"What are you sisters talking about?"
