In the midst of everyone's gaze, the Emperor and Empress of the Empire, along with a large group of attendants and female officers around them, appeared at the gate, and then walked in step by step. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In order to deliberately show that royal style, they were dressed in a very luxurious and solemn manner, and His Majesty the Emperor wore a special military uniform, and a large hat, and on his chest he wore his new Order of the Garter, which was awarded by the British. And Her Majesty the Queen is also wearing a long court dress, a crown inlaid with diamonds on her head, and a fan in her hand, she looks like a little queen, not like a woman who is not yet twenty years old.

The Emperor was full of that kind of smile that was full of ambition but pretended to be majestic, and he accompanied Her Majesty the Empress, and his attitude was majestic and considerate, and he smiled at her from time to time to say this, which was a bit like a good husband.

This is not pretending, since marrying Her Majesty the Empress, Her Majesty the Emperor has been by her side, and even away from his original mistresses, to the surprise of those who originally thought that this was just a political marriage with a façade.

However, everyone still thinks that with the emperor's prodigal energy, this kind of single-minded favor may not last long.

And Her Majesty the Queen, although she also has a smile and looks bright, but this smile still seems a little reluctant and even a little alienated to a group of experienced people.

This kind of attitude is not appropriate for a queen, but everyone considers that she has just become a queen for a long time after all, so no one is unhappy about it, and some people even think that she is more innocent like this.

As the couple reached the center of the hall, Charles and his comrades bowed to them at the same time, not as uniform as the soldiers, but with a respectful gesture.

These people at the highest level of the empire, after holding power for a period of time, are already full of confidence, their etiquette is also decent, and in a trance, they have a little more of the bearing of the country's important ministers, from their solemn faces, who can see that this is an empire that has just been established for a year?

Amid the cheers of the ministers and attendants, the Emperor and Empress took their seats, and the others took their seats.

As Her Majesty's chief attendant, Charlotte also came to the palace today, and was arranged to sit next to Her Majesty, the two of them sat down and chatted all the time, and it could be seen that when she didn't have to talk to Her Majesty the Emperor, Her Majesty was obviously a lot more relaxed, and her smile became much more cordial.

In order to please Her Majesty the future queen and broaden her husband's network, Charlotte also suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and agreed to be her female official, but after contacting Queen Carona for a while, she put aside her prejudices against the Bonaparte family, and sincerely wanted to make friends with the queen, and did not want her husband to be bad with her.

With the arrival of the two Majestics, the feast began, and the delicate dishes were already on the table, and every once in a while a servant would bring new dishes. But, as with all royal banquets, the minds of those present were not on tasting these delicacies, but on speculating about His Majesty and associating with their colleagues.

"You have a good lady, Lord Treville." While Charles was still observing his wife's interaction with Her Majesty, Morny suddenly whispered in his ear, "Not only is she charming, but she is also able to befriend Her Majesty and please her—and I can't help but be jealous of you for that, to tell you all." ”

"I'm also very proud of my wife." Charles replied with a smile.

"Well, you're really lucky, you have a young lady from the Duke's family by your side, and you have grabbed her heart early, and you can marry her only when you are an adult......" Morni smiled bitterly as if she were laughing at herself, "If only a Duchess lady had a crush on me when I was young, we would not have to worry about it." ”

It is an exaggeration to describe sorrow, but what he says is true—neither he, nor his brother, nor Joseph Bonaparte, his cousins, were dissolute in their youth, and had several lovers, but none of them married.

This is because they think very highly of themselves, and have always regarded themselves as royalty, so they are reluctant to marry women from commoner backgrounds - but at that time, the empire had already collapsed, and how many women from the old family were willing to marry them? So these members of the Bonaparte family married very late.

But the Emperor's Polish illegitimate son, Count Walewski, because he had a recognized title after all, and was not very picky, married three wives and left several heirs.

If it weren't for Louis Bonaparte, who took advantage of the February Revolution to rebuild the empire and become emperor, I am afraid that this state of singleness would continue to continue, and even never marry.

Yes, although it is full of important ministers, it lacks the noble ladies to dot it. And after His Majesty the Emperor married Princess Caroline, the other members of the family also began to think about it, and felt that they could also learn from each other, and also get involved with the royal families of various countries.

"I can't help this time." Charles shrugged, then made a joke. "I can't go to Europe to find a royal family to marry again, and besides, I can't do this kind of thing all the time?"

"You can really joke......" Morny couldn't help laughing, "Charles, I don't dare to use you as a matchmaker like Your Majesty, but rest assured, one day I will find a suitable partner—more suitable than a Duchess Lady." ”

"Then I wish you a speedy discovery?" Charles picked up his glass and toasted him.

He was really just joking, because he knew that even if he did nothing, these Bonapartes, who were bent on making friends with the old royal families on the European continent, would still succeed with the strength and influence of the French Empire.

In that world, when in 1857 the Morny married the daughter of the Russian Prince Trubetskoy, and in 1859 Joseph Bonaparte married Princess Clotilde of the Kingdom of Sardinia, they finally found the right match and their dream came true.

It was in this generation that the Bonaparte family finally got rid of the label of local tyrants and nouveau riche, and was finally accepted by European countries and became part of the royal family. God knows how much they worked for it, and God knows how much France paid for it.

Of course, this was a long time later, and now that the princess to marry Joseph Bonaparte was only nine years old, Charles was just making a joke that was not too malicious.

"Charles?" While he and Morni were still joking, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly raised his head and called him.

"Your Majesty?" Charles was a little confused, but he stopped his greetings and looked up at the Emperor.

"I heard that your son is very cute, can you send it into the palace after a while, and let us show it too?" His Majesty the Emperor looked at him with a smile, "Kalona envy your wife, she also wants to experience her mother's life first. ”

"Of course, Your Majesty." Charles immediately agreed. "I am glad that Clovis has been so honored to be personally blessed by Her Majesty the Queen."

After saying that, he smiled and nodded at Her Majesty the Queen, but the Queen only bowed her head coldly, as if she was not happy about it.

Looks like she's already feeling the pressure right now.

Like that uncle, after getting a princess as queen, he is now bent on getting an orthodox and legitimate heir for the empire. And Her Majesty the Empress naturally shouldered the important task of giving birth to an heir for the emperor as soon as possible and allowing the empire to continue.

In particular, time waits for no one, His Majesty the Emperor is already in his forties, God knows that he can have a few more years of energy, so he can only seize it as soon as possible.

In this case, it is normal for Queen Karona to be stressed and even worried. She wanted to see Charlotte's son, probably as a way to relieve stress.

Thinking about it like this, Charles suddenly felt pity for the other party - what woman didn't feel anxious in the face of such pressure?

"It's a rare event for everyone to gather together today......" His Majesty the Emperor was obviously in a good mood, picking up his glass and waving it at everyone, "Cheers everyone, for the beautiful France." ”

"Cheers!" Others pandered to His Majesty.

"Paris is good for everything, but there are too many people, and if there are too many people, the air will not be pure, and the sound will be noisy, which is not very good for those who need to rest......" His Majesty the Emperor said suddenly after drinking.

Because I didn't understand what Your Majesty meant, no one of us took over, but just looked at each other and speculated on Your Majesty's mind.

"So, in order for Carona to recuperate, I intend to renovate Fontainebleau and use it as a palace. The air there is very nice and Carlona will definitely love it there and it is also good for our lives. His Majesty the Emperor said as he smiled and nodded at his Empress. Is it Kalona? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The voice was crisp, but it was a little weak.

Charles and Morni were both young people who had been trained in the social arena for a long time, and they could see that Her Majesty was not particularly keen on it, and only said it to please the Emperor.

Fontainebleau was once the hunting place of the ancient kings of France, and during the time of Emperor Napoleon, it was greatly expanded into a palatial palace and lived here for a long time. However, after the emperor's abdication, the kings who came after them did not like it, so it is now quite deserted.

"Charles, can you still spare time now? If you can, you will oversee the reconstruction of the Château de Fontainebleau. (To be continued.) )
