At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Jérôme and Bonaparte appeared from the depths of the forest.
Upon seeing this, the Count of Guenaire hurried forward to greet him, and humbly asked Jérôme Bonaparte about the results of his hunting.
"Forget it! There is not a single prey!" Jérôme Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and responded helplessly to Count Grenell.
"Ah ha ha ha!" An embarrassed expression appeared on Count Genel's face. He quickly smoothed things over and said, "Maybe the prey in the forest has gone to other places! In the future, I will lead His Majesty to another hunting location, and the prey there must be
You will be satisfied!”
"No need! I think it's quite good here!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and said to Count Grenell, then glanced at Elizabeth Yin and Augusta beside him and said: "If not
If some people deliberately prevented me from hunting, I would have returned home with a full harvest now!"
Count Grenell continued to show an awkward but polite smile.
Neither His Majesty Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte nor His Majesty Augusta and Queen Elizabeth were beings he could provoke, so he should just remain a transparent person!
"Forget it! Let's not talk about this! We should go back!" Jerome Bonaparte returned the Lorenz rifle to the Austrian cavalry. "This is really a good rifle. I hope you can cherish it!"
"
"I will! Your Majesty!" the Austrian cavalry nodded solemnly and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
Then Jérôme Bonaparte and others got on their horses, and the horses galloped all the way and soon arrived at the racecourse of the Hofburg Palace at about 5:50.
After William, who was guarding the racecourse, saw the arrival of the cavalry, he quickly led his men to greet them.
After Jérôme Bonaparte got off his horse, he gently stroked the horse. The horse that was stroked by Jérôme Bonaparte let out a cry of joy.
"Yes! Be good!" Jérôme Bonaparte touched the horse twice again.
"Your Majesty!" William appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte and said to Jerome Bonaparte respectfully.
"I leave this horse to you!" Jérôme Bonaparte handed the horse into William's hands.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" William replied to Jérôme Bonaparte, leading the horse.
Immediately afterwards, Augusta, Elizabeth, Count Grenell, and the Austrian cavalry also handed over the horses to the racecourse personnel.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the racecourse staff led the horses to the stables.
The three of Jerome and Bonaparte, led by Count Grenell, followed the tree-lined path lined with pine trees on both sides and arrived at the side entrance of the Hofburg Palace.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who entered through the side door, met Countess Lafayette as soon as he stepped in.
"Hello, Madame de Lafalte!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Countess Lafalte with a smile, "Did you come here specifically to wait for us?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Countess Lafalte replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "When you arrived near the Hofburg Palace, His Majesty Franz ordered me to wait here!"
"Then lead the way!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded to Countess Lafalte.
Led by Countess Lafalte, Jerome Bonaparte and others arrived at Franz Joseph's study.
When Jerome Bonaparte pushed the door open, Franz Joseph immediately put down the quill in his hand and stood up to greet him.
Jerome Bonaparte also quickened his pace and came to Franz Joseph.
The two shook hands with each other, and Franz Joseph spoke first: "My brother, how was your trip today?"
"Very good!" Jerome Bonaparte replied against his will. "The scenery of Vienna really makes me and Queen Augusta feel lingering! If time didn't allow it, I really want to stay here for a while.
!”
"Hey!" Franz Joseph responded to Jerome Bonaparte, pretending to be disappointed, "Who says otherwise! The time you and your wife stayed in Vienna was really too short!"
After the two parties chatted for a while, Franz Joseph began to invite Jerome Bonaparte to go to the restaurant with him for dinner.
"It's a blessing!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Franz Joseph with a smile.
Franz Joseph and Jerome Bonaparte walked forward and soon arrived at the restaurant.
At this time, Grand Duchess Sophie and Archduke Franz Karl were already sitting on the round dining table in the restaurant, as well as a cardinal who looked simple and honest (low EQ: fat body, big shoulders and round waist). Several people present were watching.
After the arrival of Franz Joseph and Jerome Bonaparte, they all got up.
"Everyone, please take a seat!" Franz Joseph said and motioned for them to sit down.
Later, he introduced the honest-looking cardinal to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Jerome, this is Angelo Becciu, Bishop of the Vienna Church!" Franz Joseph said to Jerome Bonaparte.
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty!" Angelo Becciu stood up and bowed slightly to Jérôme Bonaparte, "Thank you for rescuing the Lamb of the Lord from the hands of the Russian Empire!
God will bless you and your descendants forever!"
"Bishop Becciu, thank you for your blessing!" Jerome Bonaparte also said to Angelo Becciu in a respectful tone, "Saving Poland is the responsibility and obligation that we, the Catholic countries, should fulfill.
!
I am so happy to be able to do my part in spreading the glory of the Lord!
God gave the crown to the Bonaparte family, and the Bonaparte family has the obligation to maintain the glory of the Lord in this world!"
"Your Majesty, what you said is really good!" Angelo Becciu responded with a moved face, "If there can be more and more monarchs like you in this world, then I believe that the glory of the Lord will spread.
To the whole world!”
Just when Angelo Becciu and Jérôme Bonaparte were complimenting each other, Franz Joseph couldn't help but clear his throat, "Cough...cough"
Angelo Becciu reacted and quickly said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry!"
"Nothing!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head, "Please sit down!"
Angelo Becciu sat down again, and Jerome Bonaparte and others also took their seats one after another.
After the dinner began, the Queen Mother Sophie, who had been silent, first spoke to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Jérôme...can I call you that?"
"I'm deeply sorry for what happened at the Hofburg Palace yesterday!" Queen Mother Sophie apologized to Jérôme Bonaparte, "In the final analysis, it was my failure to discipline my subordinates that led to that situation! Please
You forgive me!"
"Madame Sophie, you don't need to apologize to me!" Jérôme Bonaparte quickly responded to Grand Duchess Sophie, "On the contrary, I should apologize to you. I was a little too impulsive at the Hofburg Palace yesterday!
Please don’t punish Mrs. Anastasi!”
"Jerome, this servant should be punished for what he did wrong! Only in this way can we establish rules in the palace and control those who are unwilling to abide by the rules!" Queen Mother Sophie said while subconsciously looking at
She gave Yin Lisa a white look.
Obviously, Empress Dowager Sophie's first priority for Yin Lisabai has not disappeared, but has gradually become more and more intense.
"Madam, too many rules will not only prevent people from obeying, but will also breed rebellion! I know that Habsburg, as an ancient palace with a history of nearly a thousand years, must have many rules, but I think we should relax them appropriately.
Some!" Jérôme Bonaparte persuaded the Empress Dowager Sophie with great earnestness.
"Thank you for your advice!" Queen Mother Sophie obviously had no intention of listening to his advice.
"Okay! Stop talking, everyone, it's time to eat!" Franz Joseph spoke again, he was afraid that what happened yesterday would happen again.
The attendants brought the cooked hoof meat up one by one, and Elizabeth Yin's face quickly showed a smile of joy, because this method of hoof meat comes from Bavaria.
In other words, Franz Joseph brought Bavarian delicacies to the table for her.
The Queen Mother Sophie was obviously a little unhappy. She found that her son had begun to have disobedient thoughts.
However, due to the presence of Jérôme Bonaparte and the others, the Empress Dowager Sophie was obviously less likely to have an attack.
"Hoof meat from Bavaria, I hope you will be satisfied!" Franz Joseph responded to everyone present with a smile.
Everyone looked at the hoof meat on the plate and quickly started eating with knives and forks.
After the meat of the hoof meat was eliminated, delicacies from Austria were served.
Everyone began to taste each food in turn, while drinking Bavarian dark beer (the Queen Mother Sophie did not drink it).
The dinner lasted only forty minutes and came to an end. Queen Mother Sophie said goodbye to Jérôme Bonaparte with a gloomy face.
Angelo Becciu also shook hands with Jerome Bonaparte and hoped that he would go to the Vienna church tomorrow!
Franz Joseph stopped Jerome Bonaparte and said to him, "Jerome, I have something to talk to you about! Can you go to the study with me?"
"Of course!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded decisively and replied to Franz Joseph.
The two arrived in the study side by side. Under the light of the candles hanging in the crystal chandelier, Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph sat down face to face with dignity.
"Franz, what do you need to discuss with me?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Franz Joseph.
"I heard that you are looking for laborers to go to Algeria, right?" Franz Joseph did not respond directly to Jerome Bonaparte, but asked rhetorically.
"That's right!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and replied to Franz Joseph: "We have too few people in that land of Algeria. We need more people to enter Algeria to open up! What's wrong with you?
