Before I knew it, two weeks passed quickly.
In the morning, Count Hans's castle welcomed a wave of guests.
They galloped to the gate of the castle, and a man in the carriage of the procession stepped down a man wearing a black leather tricorn hat with a gilded brim, a lacy coat, white sè wool socks, and buckled leather shoes with red sè heels.
"Please tell Count Hans that I have been ordered by His Majesty to receive His Royal Highness Prince William back to the palace," said the man with a graceful salute to the maid standing by the door.
The maid replied with a salute and said, "Wait a minute, and I'll go to Comrade Count Hans."
Ah, who did I say, it turned out to be you, the deputy head of the court, Your Excellency Bouel," and after a while, old Hans heard the maid's return and greeted him from afar.
"Count Hans, long time no see, you're still so polite," Buel said with a smile.
"Look, the person who has been the deputy head of the palace for so many years is different, you were not so polite back then.
I don't know who killed seven Austrians in a row in the Battle of Rossbach and roared while killing back: Which rabbit cub has killed more than Lao Tzu, come out and compare.
It can't be you," laughed old Hans.
Buel smiled awkwardly and said: "Wasn't that young and frivolous back then, you thought everyone was like you, and after so many years, you were still so heartless" After saying that, he walked into the castle and asked: "His Royal Highness?"
"Your Highness and my two children are taking piano lessons in the living room, so let's go straight over," replied old Hans, who walked to the front and led the way.
After walking for a while, the music of Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concerto came from the front, and the beautiful sound washed their hearts.
"Yes, this teacher is very skilled, Hans, it seems that you have done your best to educate His Royal Highness," said Baron Bouel, who heard the music.
"This, Lord Bouel, this is not played by the teacher I have invited, but by His Royal Highness the Prince," said old Hans, embarrassedly.
"Yes, then I'd like to take a good look," after hearing the old Hans's answer, Bouel hurried forward.
After walking a few steps to a doorway, the maids pushed them away, and saw a piano in the bright hall, and our little William was sitting on the edge of the piano and playing it as if intoxicated.
His two fingers seemed to have souls, and the jumping fingertips flashed with gold stars in his eyes.
After a while, the song ended, and it took a while for Bouel to react, and he quickly puffed up his hands, and the other people in the room also puffed up their hands under his leadership.
"Brother William, you play so well, why do you play so coherently, I have a lot of problems when I talk about it, you have to teach me well" Du Li jumped over, holding William's arm and shaking coquettishly "Okay, you all go out first, William stays" Before William could answer Du Li, old Hans at the door spoke.
Reluctantly, Du Li bowed to old Hans and Bouel with Carlo and the piano teacher, and walked out.
"See His Royal Highness the Prince, I am Buel from Sanssouci Palace," Bouel saluted William Jr "Don't be so polite, Your Excellency Bouel," William Jr. replied "Your Highness Wilhelm, Buel has come to fetch you back to the palace, please prepare yourself, and we will leave after lunch," Hans said "Okay Hans, I'll go clean up," said Wilhelm to old Hans, and bowed to them, and walked out.
"Old Hans, you have taught well, and Your Majesty will be surprised to see His Royal Highness," said Buel to Old Hans "The main thing is that His Highness is talented, and I don't have any credit" "Well, old Hans doesn't have to be so modest, he doesn't have to pretend in front of me," Bouel laughed, and old Hans laughed too.
Little William was instructing the maid to pack up her things in the house, when she saw Du Li, the little Lori, crying and running in, she ran to William and asked: "William, are you leaving?"
Looking at Du Li's weeping face, William sighed and said: "Your Majesty asked Buel to pick me up and take me back to the palace, Du Li I'm leaving" I want you to go, I want you to accompany me" Du Li took William's hand and cried even louder.
"Du Li, don't be so sad, Lian will always be your best friend, even if I go back to the palace, I will come back to see you and Carlo, when I grow up, I will take you all to Sanssouci Palace, and then we will be together forever, okay" William stretched out his hand and comforted Du Li with tears on his face.
"Really, William, you won't lie to me" Du Li asked as she looked up into William's eyes.
"Du Li, I will never lie to you, when I grow up, I will come back to pick you up, and we will go to Sanssouci Palace together" William said firmly "Then let's pull the hook" "Pull the hook, I'll definitely come back to pick you up, Du Li" William finished and hugged Du Li in his arms.
And Du Li's face was crimson, as if she thought of the happy life with William when she grew up.
At this time, William was cheering in his heart: Oh yes, it's a stick, little Lori is here.
When it was time for lunch, although Xiao Du Li was still sobbing, the meal was quite joyful.
"Carlo, after I'm gone, you have to comfort Du Li well, don't make her sad," William said to Carlo after the meal "Don't worry, William, Du Li is my sister, I won't make her sad, but you should take care of your life in the future, don't forget that in Paretz, there will always be your two friends" Carlo said to William with tears in his eyes.
"Carlo, I will never forget Paretz, I will never forget the time we spent together, I will take you to Sanssouci Palace when I grow up, we will fight the world together, you will always be my best brother" William hugged Carlo and said with a look on his face.
"William, go," urged old Hans in the distance "Carlo, I'm leaving, take care," said William to Carlo when he heard old Hans's urging, and then turned his head to the castle and shouted: "Du Li, you have to take care, I will definitely come back to you" After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the convoy.
And when Du Li in the castle heard William's words, she immediately cried loudly when she was sobbing in a low voice, and the countess who was comforting her was even more distressed.
William, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the Earl's castle, which was getting smaller and smaller in his sight, and his eyes were red.
"Well, William, we'll be back later, aren't we?"
said Count Hans, sitting on the side, sighing and comforting.
"William, the men of the Hohenzollern family should be strong, Your Majesty does not like indecisive people," Buel sat on the other side and persuaded him.
Hearing their reassurance, William thought: Yes, my stage is not in Paretz, my stage is Sanssoucin, Prussia, Europa, I am the man who is about to become king.
In late autumn, Frederick William III, who had left Sanssouci before he was a year old, returned in the company of Buel and Hans the Elder.
What awaits him, look forward to the next chapter.
