Queen Augusta looked at Jerome Bonaparte who rushed in with confusion, and then turned her eyes to Vernia behind Jerome Bonaparte.
At this time, Vernia timidly let go of Jerome Bonaparte's arm like a chicken seeing an eagle.
And Jerome Bonaparte's eyes had not left the two ladies sitting next to Augusta since he first entered the room.
The identities of these two ladies are too special. One of them is the Marquise Allais, a lover whom Jérôme Bonaparte has not had contact with for a long time, and the other is also his "good friend" Eugenie.
These three people all had relations with Jérôme Bonaparte, but now they can sit together "calmly", which is really beyond Jérôme Bonaparte's expectation.
However, when Jérôme Bonaparte turned his attention to the surroundings centered on these three people, he also discovered Mrs. Walewski with a pretty face and big breasts, and an average-looking but deeply impressed More.
Ni's favorite lady, and Valentine Osman, the daughter of the high-ranking official Osman. Apart from these three, Jérôme and Bonaparte basically didn't know the rest of them very well, and some of them only met on a casual basis.
Looking at the whole hall of couples, Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
Mokar was right, he really shouldn't disturb them at this time.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Augusta asked Jérôme Bonaparte calmly.
"Nothing!" Jerome Bonaparte said without hesitation. He felt that it would be better not to say this kind of thing in public.
Queen Augusta naturally also saw that Jerome Bonaparte was hiding some things that he had not said. She was considerate and immediately said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Then, Your Majesty, I wonder if you are willing to
join us!"
"I..." Jérôme Bonaparte was just about to refuse, but he noticed the resentful expression of the Marquise Allais and the sharp-edged eyes of Ms. Eugenie. The words of rejection were immediately swallowed by him.
, then nodded and said: "Of course I am willing to accompany you angels to chat!"
"Then come over!" Augusta stretched out her green-white arms to wave to Jérôme Bonaparte. Wearing a white palace dress, she looked like an elf walking out of a painting.
Next to her, the Marchioness and Eugenie were wearing dark black and light yellow dresses, like two roses with thorns.
Jérôme Bonaparte had no choice but to enter the room, followed closely by Vernia.
Upon seeing this, the maid responsible for serving the noble lady hurriedly moved a chair for Jérôme Bonaparte. One of the chairs was placed evenly between Queen Augusta and Eugenie, and the other chair was
Placed between Madame Valewski and Madame Morny.
Now Jerome Bonaparte had no choice but to sit on the chair near Augusta, while Vernia sat between the two ladies.
When Jérôme Bonaparte sat down, the conversation began again, and the air seemed to be filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and the Five Shura Fields.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who was in the middle of it, could only sit down and sit down. In order to be transparent, he could only pretend to have busy eyes and take a sip of coffee from time to time.
Under the guidance of Augusta, the ladies began to discuss literature and ancient Greek philosophy.
These things were no problem for nobles who had studied them systematically, but for Eugenie, they were like listening to a book from heaven.
This naked rejection made Eugenie feel an indescribable humiliation, and he wanted to leave directly several times.
However, Eugenie knew that the court was not the time for her to act petty, so she could only keep silent.
At this moment, a voice came to Eugenie's ear: "Yes! Here you go!"
A peeled apple was placed in front of Eugenie. The owner holding the apple was none other than Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Thank you!" Eugenie cast a grateful look at Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte's move was equivalent to attracting all the "firepower" to his side.
You must know that sitting next to the emperor is his orthodox wife Augusta, who "initiated" the "isolation" of Eugenie.
Sure enough, when Jerome Bonaparte said these words, everyone's eyes subconsciously glanced at Jerome Bonaparte.
"You guys keep going! Keep going!" Jérôme Bonaparte waved his hands casually and added: "Anyway, I don't understand anything about what you are talking about!"
Every noble lady present has an exquisite heart. How could Jérôme Bonaparte, who was born in an orthodox royal education, not understand these things? All he did was to attract firepower for Eugenie.
.
For a moment, the ladies present were somewhat envious of Eugenie.
It is truly an honor to have the most powerful person in France "willingly" come to her rescue.
The noble lady under Mu Qiang's mentality actually hoped that she could replace Eugenie's ecological niche.
Under Jerome Bonaparte's forcible deflection, Augusta had no choice but to give Jerome Bonaparte some face.
The topic shifted from the original philosophy to ordinary gossip, and now Eugenie was able to blend in again.
Jérôme Bonaparte also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. These days, he has no time to act as a scumbag, and it is easy to face a crisis.
As time went by, the sun had set on the top of the mountain, and the light in the room was getting darker and darker. Upon seeing this, the maid immediately lit the candle on the ceiling. Under the light of the candle, the noble lady of Augusta became more and more enthusiastic in chatting.
Jerome Bonaparte never said a word after the moment of relieving the siege. He just repeated the two simple actions of peeling an apple and passing it to the people around him and drinking coffee.
First Augusta, then the Marchioness of Allais, then Vernia, Jérôme Bonaparte did his best to provide the four of them with the convenience he could. As for the remaining people, Jérôme Bonaparte
Nabal paid no attention to it.
Even though he had seen Mrs. Valewski and Valentine Osman ogling him several times and trying to seduce him!
Time passed quickly and it soon came to 7 o'clock in the evening. The afternoon tea party that lasted for nearly 4 or 5 hours was finally over.
Just when Jérôme Bonaparte thought everything was over, Eugenie made an unexpected move that directly shattered Jérôme Bonaparte's remaining luck. He stood up and stood side by side with Jérôme Bonaparte.
She stood up on tiptoes and kissed Jérôme Bonaparte gently on the lips, and then said: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
Afterwards, Eugénie left the room without looking back! Jérôme Bonaparte could only bear the lady's meaningful eyes, licked her lips and said dryly: "A special way of saying goodbye!"
"Your Majesty, goodbye!" Then, the Marquise Allais also came to Jerome Bonaparte and kissed Jerome Bonaparte again. This time, it was different from Eugenie's quick kiss goodbye.
, and during the long wet kiss, Jérôme Bonaparte could even feel the Marquise Allais stirring unscrupulously in Jérôme Bonaparte's mouth.
For a moment, Jérôme Bonaparte was reluctant to leave. However, when he thought of his real wife beside him, Jérôme Bonaparte could only say goodbye to the Marchioness.
The Marquise, whose mouth was stained with crystal clear saliva, also left, and Queen Augusta's face became slightly ugly.
"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Valewski walked up to Jerome Bonaparte with a smile on her face. Jerome Bonaparte subconsciously took a small step back.
Immediately afterwards, Madame Walewski half-jokingly asked Jérôme Bonaparte if he wanted to kiss him goodbye.
Jérôme Bonaparte decisively refused, and then gently sucked on Madame Walewski's arm.
Mrs. Walewski showed a look of disappointment on her face, then curtsied to Queen Augusta and left.
Next, whether it was Madame Morny or Valentine Haussmann, Jerome Bonaparte kissed the back of their hands as usual.
Afterwards, they also saluted Augusta and left.
When it was Vernia's turn, Jérôme Bonaparte just kissed the little girl's forehead gently, and then flicked her forehead lightly.
When only Jérôme Bonaparte and Augusta were left in the room, Augusta asked: "Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"
"That's right!" Seeing that Augusta didn't dwell on what happened before, Jérôme Bonaparte said directly to Augusta: "Do you know the Royal Arsenal in Oberndorf?"
"Oberndorf Royal Arsenal?" Augusta thought carefully for a moment and then immediately replied: "Are you talking about the arsenal that my grandfather built?"
The Royal Arsenal of Oberndorf, an arsenal founded by King Frederick I of Württemberg, was a factory dedicated to developing weapons for Prussia.
"That's right! Can you convince my uncle, your father, to transfer the arsenal to me?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Queen Augusta: "I can pay ten... no,
One million francs purchase!”
"One million francs!!" Queen Augusta showed a surprised expression. According to her knowledge, the value of this arsenal was less than half a million francs.
Augusta, who knew her husband well, instantly realized that the arsenal might be unusual: "Does that arsenal have what you want?"
"How should I put it?" Jerome Bonaparte scratched his head and said to Augusta: "Now I need a group of skilled workers who are familiar with Dreiser firing needle guns, and the arsenal in Oberndorf just meets this demand.
!!”
Augusta looked at Jerome Bonaparte with a serious expression, and she nodded: "If you really need it, I can personally return to Württemberg to negotiate with my father!"
