"If one day, you'll understand......"

This sentence has no beginning or end, and it sounds like it doesn't know what it means, Her Royal Highness the princess is completely confused. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, one day, you'll realize how right I am when I say it now...... I can only hope that this day doesn't come too soon. Her Majesty shook her head, her expression a little gloomy, "Then you will understand that what awaits you is not just flowers and glory, but also endless patience. ”

Although Her Majesty the Queen suddenly found that she had the opportunity to become the queen of France, and she did not drill for it, she was young after all, and she had some expectations for her queen career, but when she really became the queen and experienced the ups and downs, her previous expectations had suddenly disappeared, leaving only helplessness against reality.

At the beginning, she was favored and cared for, and she experienced the honor of the queen for a while, but when the enthusiasm of the newlywed was over, all that was left was the cold reality.

Everything she said to the princess was exactly what she said from the bottom of her heart, and it was precisely because of her relationship with Emperor Bonaparte in the past year or so that she realized all this.

Seeing Her Majesty's depressed mood, the princess's mood couldn't help but drop, she lowered her head, as if she was also silently worried about her future career as a queen.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn, Her Majesty the Queen was also a little annoyed in her heart, regretting that she had spoken a little too gloomy, and she was afraid that she had frightened this little girl.

"Okay, in fact, I'm just saying it casually, you don't have to pay special attention to it, after all, although they are both emperors, the two are still different after all, your fiancé is young and handsome, and he has a noble character, he won't take you to heart." The queen reluctantly laughed, "So you just need to take my words as a warning, after all, sometimes if we are prepared, we will be relieved even if we really encounter bad luck." ”

"I'm afraid I can only hope that God will continue to care for me." Princess Elizabeth smiled wryly that did not match her age. "What else can be done now? We can only continue to resign ourselves to fate. ”

Indeed, no matter what concerns there are now, since the marriage contract has been decided, it is useless for her to regret it, she cannot afford to marry the Habsburg Emperor and then break the contract herself, not to mention that she is also full of longing for the young and handsome Emperor Franz-Joseph, how can she give up?

In essence, there was no way back for her.

"Of course God will continue to bless you." Her Majesty whispered, "There are a few things you'd better do, though. If you do it all, then your queen life will be a little less bumpy, or at least it will put you in a better mood. ”

"What are the few things?" The princess hurriedly asked.

"First and foremost, give birth to a son as soon as possible, and fulfill the tragic mission of these emperors to carry on their poor family business, and if you can do it, then your freedom will come, and all they want from you is nothing more than that." Her Majesty's tone suddenly became sentimental, as if she was bitterly expressing her own suffering, "Secondly, don't be too infatuated with your husband, when you are infatuated with someone, you put yourself in a lowly position, you don't feel that you are inferior to the emperor, you should treat your marriage with him as a reciprocal exchange, and you will give him as much as he cares for you." If he really loves you, then you might as well love him, if he can't...... Then you can also seek other solace for yourself, rather than suffering in silence yourself. ”

"Oh God!" After hearing Her Majesty's whispered suggestion, the princess's face turned a little pale.

She had never heard this kind of public encouragement that she could "find other comfort" in the future, and how could she have thought that she would hear it from another queen?

The children from her kind of family, of course, are not isolated from the world, and they also know some dirty and absurd things that happen in high society, but even so, it is still a little beyond her imagination for a queen to say such things publicly, and this does show that Queen Kalona is now really putting aside the appearance of the false and saying these words to her heart.

"You...... Have you ever done that? This...... It's amazing. She asked cautiously, for fear of upsetting the other party.

"...... me? Of course I haven't. Her Majesty was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shook her head, "The matter has not yet come to that point, I just give you a suggestion, you can not listen." ”

"I ...... I see......" The princess blinked uneasily, apparently her Majesty's words had shocked her a little, and she didn't seem to know what she was talking about, "I will...... I'll take your word to heart. ”

"Don't be so formal, it's just a private conversation between us, I forgot it after I finished it, and you can forget it after you heard it." Her Majesty shook her head slightly, and then made a gesture that the conversation would end there, "Alright, it's almost time for us to go out, there are still so many people waiting for us outside." ”

Only then did the princess regain her composure, and then she faintly heard the voices of people outside.

If the time is counted, it is time for her fiancé and His Majesty the Emperor to return, and it will be the time for the two most noble couples of the two empires to attend the grand ceremony in the palace.

She didn't particularly like to attend such grand ceremonies, but wasn't that the queen's obligation.

In a trance, the two of them walked out of the room, and as soon as they went out, the court attendants standing outside the door immediately saluted them, and the waiting court ladies also bowed their knees at the same time.

Their fluffy and luxurious palace skirts instantly left a few blooming flowers on the ground, and the purple and red dresses matched with their gestures made people a little dizzy.

This kind of ostentatious scene made Princess Elizabeth, who has not really become the queen of Austria, a little flustered, and the French court style, even as a royal family, she has rarely seen it.

However, Empress Carona, who has been the Empress of the French Empire for more than a year, has long been accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, so she was indifferent at all, just gently raised her hand and made a gesture to signal everyone to get up, and then she walked directly to a noble lady with the princess.

"They're back now, Madame Treville?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The lady bowed slightly, "The two Emperor Majesties have returned, and are now preparing to wait for you and Her Royal Highness the Princess to go to the banquet hall. ”

When she looked up, the princess realized that she knew this lady - wasn't it the same Madame Trevil she had met at Schönbrunn the previous year?

She immediately smiled at the lady as a gesture of friendship, and the lady noticed her remark, so she smiled at her in reply to Her Majesty. Meeting someone she knew among so many people also made the princess feel a lot more relieved.

"Alright then, please take us with us, but don't keep Your Majesty waiting." Her Majesty said in a tone of utter indifference and reserve, which was completely different from that of the moment, "On such a grand day as today, each of us should sincerely rejoice for the Empire. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Charlotte replied with a smile, then waved at the attendants.

Soon, under the guidance of the attendants, the group of noblewomen gathered behind the two queens and walked towards the banquet hall together.

In full view of the two queens and the public, Charlotte had a calm and calm demeanor. She has won the trust and favor of Her Majesty the Queen, even if she has been recuperating for a long time due to childbirth, her identity as the chief female officer is still as solid as a rock, and she has not wavered in the slightest because of the previous turmoil.

Soon, this group of noble ladies arrived in the grand hall of the palace, and in an instant, the dazzling lights generated by tassels, jewels, medals and crystal chandeliers rippled in this bejeweled world, and it also turned it into an illusory world.

Under the gaze of everyone, Her Majesty Queen Karona and Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth walked to the center of the hall, and then walked to the two emperors, and these two emperors, at the same time, solemnly stretched out their hands, took the hands of their wives and fiancées, and turned together to face a large group of gentlemen and ladies dressed in fine clothes opposite.

Their expressions were solemn and slow, as if they had been rehearsed countless times on stage, and the people opposite them were equally solemn, looking reverently at the four idols in front of them, as if they were looking at the monarchy itself.

The most important thing in the monarchy and the court is the sense of ceremony, and only the sense of ritual that everyone is involved in can make people really believe in a trance that these people will be different from mortals.

By this time, Charles had also stood with his wife, and they had become part of the ritual, but because of their transcendent status, they were not just supporting characters. They stared silently at the emperors and queens in front of them, with no reverence or of course malice, as if they were just enjoying a new drama.

Seeing that the atmosphere had been set up, the two Majesties looked at each other and smiled, and then the French Emperor made a friendly gesture and asked the Austrian Emperor to speak first.

His Majesty the Young Emperor maintained a smile on his face, and his handsome face made people feel happy to see it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today to welcome me and my fiancée. I am glad that I have been able to enjoy a pleasant journey in such a great and culturally rich country......" he said slowly, in a respectful and dignified tone, without feeling arrogant and reserved, without humbling and flattering, "We were flattered by the hospitality of France, and we felt the hospitality of this nation very deeply. At the same time, I hope that when we return to Austria, we will have the opportunity to welcome you with the same opportunity...... I am anxious to prove to you that we Austrians do not want to be left behind in your country when it comes to hospitality. ”

Of course, this kind of line was arranged word by the diplomats after dozens of discussions and deductions by diplomatic officials in advance, but His Majesty the Emperor, who had been trained for many years, had his own way of saying these words sincerely, as if it was really what he wanted in his heart.

As soon as he had said this, there was a burst of applause, and of course people liked to be described as hospitable, and they were very pleased with the courteous attitude of His Majesty the Emperor.

"I am very grateful to Your Majesty for being able to visit our country despite public opinion." When the applause subsided a little, His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III also spoke, "I sincerely believe that after His Majesty's visit, the two great countries of France and Austria will be able to turn over the memories of the past and enter a new chapter!" ”

The thunderous applause rang out again, accompanied by some cheers, and it was evident that everyone did not echo it so eagerly because His Majesty the Emperor said it well.

In the midst of these applause, Emperor Napoleon III was also quite complacent, and he looked back at His Majesty Franz-Joseph, as if to show off his control over the empire.

And at this moment, Charles also set his eyes on the side of His Majesty, nodded at the princess, and silently reminded the two of them of the friendly memories they once had.

The princess immediately felt his gaze and looked at it curiously, but when it became clear that it was him, as if she had been electrocuted, the princess suddenly looked away, and seemed to be a little panicked.

"Strange, what's wrong with her?" Charles thought to himself.
