Under Jerome Bonaparte's beauty trick, Crown Prince Leopold spent a wonderful night. It was not until noon the next day that Jerome Bonaparte met Crown Prince Leopold again.
At this time, Crown Prince Leopold sat opposite Jérôme Bonaparte with a proud expression on his face, talking endlessly about the wonderful night he spent with the actress Marigot last night.
Jérôme Bonaparte listened quietly to Crown Prince Leopold's speech and echoed from time to time.
After Crown Prince Leopold finished speaking, Jérôme Bonaparte whispered: "Leopard, it seems that you are very satisfied with that little beauty!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Crown Prince Leopold replied to Jerome Bonaparte with an unfinished expression on his face: "She made me experience it. I have never experienced it before!"
"As long as you are satisfied!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Crown Prince Leopold still smiling.
"By the way, Your Majesty!" Crown Prince Leopold continued to ask: "How much is she worth?"
Jérôme Bonaparte's expression condensed, and then he responded calmly: "I don't know about this either! You can ask Mokar, he is very knowledgeable about this topic!"
"Yes!" Crown Prince Leopold nodded again, and then left Jerome Bonaparte's study.
After Crown Prince Leopold left, Jerome Bonaparte continued to work at his desk.
The Coal and Steel Community Alliance Agreement between Dulles and Philip is still in the stage of steady advancement.
That afternoon, Jérôme Bonaparte ordered Mokar to prepare a necklace for him.
"Your Majesty, who are you going to give this necklace to?" Mokar asked Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Why are you asking so much?" Jérôme Bonaparte frowned slightly and said to Mokar: "I asked you to prepare, just go and prepare! How come there is so much nonsense!"
Seeing that Jerome Bonaparte was a little unhappy, Mokar quickly replied "yes" and left Jerome Bonaparte's study.
That night, when the exhausted Jerome Bonaparte was about to lie down and rest, the voice of Queen Augusta reached Jerome Bonaparte's ears, "I heard someone said that you prepared
A necklace!"
Mokar, you damn betrayed me!
Jérôme Bonaparte had an even stronger desire to replace Mokar, but for now he still wanted to fool Augusta.
Don't look at Augusta before letting him mess around outside, that's because the objects of Jérôme Bonaparte's mess are basically under Augusta's control.
Now the Marchioness of Allais has left Paris with the young Marquis and settled in a southern city.
Vernia was also the private secretary of Empress Augusta (previously owned by Jerome Bonaparte), and Eugenie was now in the "Cold War" stage with no contact with Jerome Bonaparte for a long time.
Now that Queen Augusta had completely suppressed all competitors, Jérôme Bonaparte could be sure that Augusta would never allow a new challenger to emerge.
"Who told you?" Jerome Bonaparte raised his voice and asked Augusta, as if he was being poked. "It's Mokar, right?"
"Whether it's Mokar or not! I just want to ask, what are you preparing the necklace for!" Queen Augusta asked with a slightly angry tone: "Are you preparing to give it to a new lover?"
"What's wrong? Are you jealous?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Augusta in a teasing tone.
"As your wife, I have the obligation to know who the necklace is for!" Queen Augusta responded coldly to Jerome Bonaparte.
"If you want to know so much, then I will tell you with great mercy!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Queen Augusta: "I do want to give this necklace to someone else, and it is not
Any one of you!"
"It's Marigot Monroe, right?" Queen Augusta then said to Jerome Bonaparte.
Jérôme Bonaparte showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and he asked in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Intuition!" Queen Augusta replied flatly.
"You guessed it right!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and admitted, "The necklace is indeed intended for the actress!"
"Aren't you trying your best to bring the actress and Leopold together? How come you are ready to fall in love with her in the blink of an eye?" Queen Augusta asked Jérôme Bonaparte with a hint of yin and yang.
"Listen to my explanation!" Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly told Queen Augusta the exact conversation between himself and Marigot in the backstage lounge.
"So that's it!" Empress Augusta murmured to herself, and then allowed Jérôme Bonaparte to celebrate Marigot's birthday tomorrow.
…
Early the next morning, Jérôme Bonaparte, who had disguised himself, took the necklace Mokar had prepared for him, refused the protection of soldiers and the escort of carriages, and left the Tuileries Palace alone.
Set off on foot to Marigot's residence.
When Jérôme Bonaparte arrived at a newly built building, the building had a total of six floors. The first and second floors were all rented to a department store, and the third floor and above were traditional residential areas.
Marigot stayed in a room on the third floor. When Jérôme Bonaparte stepped through the door of the department store and entered it, what was displayed inside was a baroque-style decoration and a Florentine-style spiral staircase.
All kinds of goods are neatly arranged in areas where they should be protected. Every customer who enters the store is a neatly dressed gentleman and a beautifully dressed lady. No one who comes between them is a real lower-class person.
After seeing the "view" on the first floor, Jérôme Bonaparte climbed up the stairs. Two "ladies" wearing sky blue corset dresses and holding folding fans slowly walked down the stairs.
, the three people in the corridor happened to bump into each other.
"Madam!" Jérôme Bonaparte, adhering to the gentleman's style, said to them politely.
Because Jerome Bonaparte's Parisian accent was not standard enough, and his clothes today were a bit rustic, the two "ladies" subconsciously regarded Jerome Bonaparte as a nobleman from the countryside.
.
Adhering to the idea that Parisians are above all else, the two "ladies" smiled disdainfully and said to Jérôme Bonaparte, "Tch! Country bumpkin!"
"Yes! The emperor really shouldn't let these country bumpkins settle in Paris! If I see the emperor next time, I will definitely give him suggestions to get these country bumpkins out of Paris!"
Looking at the backs of the two "ladies" drifting away, Jérôme Bonaparte muttered in a low voice: "Who are they? Why don't I have any impression at all!"
After that, Jerome Bonaparte continued to climb up, and soon came to the door of the second floor.
Through the glass on the second floor, Jérôme Bonaparte discovered that the second floor was far different from the first floor. If the first floor was a consumption place exclusive to the middle and upper classes in Paris, then the second floor was Paris.
A place of consumption for the rich and powerful.
Because Jérôme Bonaparte spotted several countesses through the glass door. They were walking back and forth on the second floor, seeming to be choosing something.
"What do you want to do! Why don't you leave quickly!" Just as Jerome Bonaparte was quietly watching the scenery through the glass door, a voice reached Jerome Bonaparte's ears.
Jerome Bonaparte came back to his senses and quickly looked aside. A man in gray uniform was standing behind Jerome Bonaparte.
"Brother, what are they selling here?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked the customer next to him in a low voice.
"What are you selling?" The system man looked at Jérôme Bonaparte's clothes, "I think you are a decent person, brother, but the things on the second floor are probably things you can't even afford with a year's salary!
!”
"How can there be anything that you can't afford with a year's salary!" Jérôme Bonaparte retorted, pretending to be unconvinced.
"I was lucky enough to enter a few years ago, and the price of a set of clothes there was close to 30,000 francs!" The institutional man chuckled and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Twenty million francs!" Jérôme Bonaparte had a slightly surprised expression on his face.
Although he didn't care about the price of 20,000 francs, the clothes inside did exceed the annual income of an average middle-class Parisian family.
"This is the cheaper one!" The man in the system replied to Jérôme Bonaparte in the tone of someone who has experienced it, "There are more expensive ones, you didn't see it!"
"Then I really can't afford it!" Jérôme Bonaparte replied with a shrug.
"Okay, you should go upstairs!" The man in uniform began to drive Jerome Bonaparte away.
Jerome Bonaparte climbed to the third floor. At a corner on the third floor, Jerome Bonaparte stopped and knocked gently on the door.
After a while, an old voice came from the other end of the room, "Who is it!"
The door of the room opened slowly, and an old woman with white hair appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte. She looked at Jerome Bonaparte carefully: "I don't seem to recognize you!"
"Our Miss Marigot's new friend! This time I came here to celebrate her birthday!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to the old woman calmly.
"Please come in, sir!" The old woman invited Jerome Bonaparte to come in. After entering the room, Jerome Bonaparte realized that Marigot was not in the room.
"Marigette is still performing and won't be here until about an hour later!" The old woman warmly asked Jerome Bonaparte to sit down, and then said to Jerome Bonaparte: "I'll make you a cup of coffee.
