Chapter Eight hundred and Nineteen The Cardinal's Invitation
"This is not fair! Sister Augusta, I ask for a substitution!"
Elizabeth Yin, who had lost ten games in a row, wanted to think loudly about Queen Augusta, who was clamoring to replace Jérôme Bonaparte, a "cheating opponent".
"Yes! I also ask for a substitution!" Jérôme Bonaparte also made a request for a substitution to Queen Augusta with an unhappy face.
In Jérôme Bonaparte's opinion, Lisabeth Yin's card skills were not only bad, but she also always tried to find ways to undermine her. She was simply a role model for pig teammates.
Of course, Lisa Bai Yin also thought the same way.
Seeing Jérôme Bonaparte and Princess Sissi threatening "strike" at the same time, Queen Augusta glanced helplessly at Jérôme Bonaparte and Elizabeth Yin, then turned to ask Count Lafayette
The lady said: "Mrs. Lafalte, do you think we should obey their wishes or not?"
After Mrs. Lafalte pondered for a moment, she replied to Queen Augusta: "Your Majesty, I think it should be appropriately replaced to a certain extent!"
"Okay! I'll go with Augusta, and you'll go with Madame Lafalte!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Princess Sissi.
"Why!" Elizabeth Yin obviously disagreed with Jérôme Bonaparte's suggestion. She immediately contradicted her, "I should say that I am in a group with Sister Augusta, and you are in a group with the Lafalte woman.
!”
"Augusta and I are husband and wife, so we should be in the same group!" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at this "daughter" who contradicted him without giving in.
"Sister Augusta and I are...are..." Yin Lisabai hesitated for a moment, unable to say the next sentence for a long time.
"I can't find the right words!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled "smugly", he really enjoyed this feeling of bullying the "weak".
Queen Augusta, who felt that her husband was a little too much, immediately concluded for Yin Lisabeth: "Yin Lisabeth, aren't we the best sisters?"
"That's right! The best sisters!" Elizabeth Yin responded immediately, then stood up and went to sit on the sofa where Queen Augusta was, grabbing Queen Augusta's arm and looking at Jérôme Bonnet.
Ba, seems to be deliberately provoking.
After all, he is still a child who has not grown up!
Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but made a remark in his heart, but he seemed to have forgotten that his behavior just now also had a hint of child-like competitiveness.
"Okay! You're sitting here!" Queen Augusta looked at Elizabeth Yin dotingly, and gently touched her head with her hand and said to Jérôme Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, just
Let me be paired with Yin Lisabai!"
"Okay!" Jérôme Bonaparte replied to Queen Augusta, then turned to Countess Lafayre and said politely: "Madam, please join me!"
"It is an honor for me, Your Majesty!" Countess Lafalte responded humbly to Jérôme Bonaparte.
The second round of competition officially began. Yin Lisabai, who had changed her teammates, showed a different attitude from when she formed the team with Jérôme Bonaparte. She began to do her best to support Augusta.
As for Jérôme Bonaparte, perhaps it was because Jérôme Bonaparte and Madame Lafalte did not have a clear understanding of each other. As a result, even though they wanted to win, they still lost continuously.
Played several games.
Just when Jerome Bonaparte was about to lose another city, there was another knock on the door, which broke Jerome Bonaparte out of his torment.
"I'll open the door!"
Before Madame Lafalte could get up and go to open the door, Jérôme Bonaparte threw the cards in his hand on the table and went to open the door.
After opening the door, Jerome Bonaparte saw Franz Joseph standing at the door. His face was immediately filled with a warm smile and said to Franz Joseph: "Franz, we are waiting.
And you!"
"Huh?" Franz Joseph was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked: "You knew I was coming!"
"Of course!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Franz Joseph with a firm tone, then turned sideways and said to Franz Joseph: "Please come in quickly!"
Franz Joseph entered the room and saw the three people sitting on the sofa from a distance, and he slowly came to them.
The three people sitting on the sofa immediately put down the cards in their hands, stood up and saluted Franz Joseph: "Your Majesty Franz!"
Franz Joseph smiled, then glanced at the entertainment activities going on on the table, "Are you playing whist?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Countess Franz Joseph of La Falte responded.
"Who is grouping with whom?" Franz Joseph asked Countess Lafalte again.
"Sister Augusta and I are in the same group, and Jerome is in the same group as Madame Lafalte!" Elizabeth Yin spoke to Franz Joseph first.
Franz Joseph's expression revealed a hint of displeasure, and Elizabeth Yin's preemptive remarks were really unbecoming of a queen.
"Franz, do you want to play a game!" Jerome Bonaparte picked up the cards on the table and said to Franz Joseph.
"Okay!" Franz Joseph originally came over to accompany Jerome Bonaparte for entertainment activities after finishing all the chores.
The addition of Franz Joseph made Countess Lafalte completely useless, and her position was "occupied" by Franz Joseph. She could only stand behind the sofa and watch quietly, waiting for the call at any time.
This time Jerome Bonaparte was with Franz Joseph, and Augusta was with Elizabeth.
After the official start of the third round, Yin Lisabai, who was crazy about killing, had no intention of giving in to Jérôme Bonaparte and the others from the beginning.
Even though Queen Augusta had the intention to let Franz Joseph and Jerome Bonaparte win, Franz Joseph's luck was actually a repeat of his history.
After several rounds, Jérôme Bonaparte was unable to do anything.
After seeing Franz Joseph's expression getting more and more ugly, Jerome Bonaparte quickly stopped again.
"Change teammates now! I want to be with Augusta National!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Elizabeth Yin.
"Sister Augusta!" Elizabeth Yin looked at Queen Augusta with pitiful eyes.
"Yin Lisabeth, I want to team up with my husband!" Queen Augusta responded to Yin Lisabeth with determination.
Then Augusta sat with Jerome Bonaparte, and Franz Joseph sat with Elizabeth.
Jerome Bonaparte immediately conveyed a signal to Augusta with his eyes, and Augusta immediately understood it.
After the start of the fourth round, Yin Elizabeth and Franz Joseph, who had only a little tacit understanding, won 5 wins and 3 losses with the continuous assists of Jérôme Bonaparte and Augusta.
Finally, Jérôme Bonaparte announced the end of whist, and Franz Joseph and Elizabeth Yin had some unfinished thoughts.
"Okay! It's getting late, we should rest!" Jérôme Bonaparte, who had only won three games, hurriedly said to the two of them. He was afraid that if he lost again, he would lose control.
own anger.
"Well then! Good night!" Franz Joseph said goodbye to Jerome Bonaparte.
After bidding farewell to Franz Joseph and Queen Elizabeth, Jérôme Bonaparte immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He gently wiped the sweat with his hand and said to Queen Augusta: "This last game is my most beautiful one."
A few tiring games!"
"I never thought you would give in one day!" Queen Augusta replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
"No way! You have to give Franz Joseph some face!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and said to Queen Augusta, and then added: "However, I think Franz and the others will soon
You’ll find out!”
"Isn't this your purpose!" Augusta also teased Jérôme Bonaparte!
"Yes! This is my purpose!" Jerome Bonaparte admitted frankly.
While Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta were discussing in the bedroom, Franz Joseph, who had come to think of it, also began to suspect that Jerome Bonaparte and his wife might have intentionally given up.
Franz Joseph turned around and asked Countess Lafalte, who had been standing behind the sofa, in a majestic tone.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty Emperor Jerome and His Majesty Queen Augusta really want you to win!" Mrs. Lafalte said to Franz Joseph.
"Well, I understand!" Franz Joseph couldn't help but feel a little warmth in his heart.
Even though they were both monarchs, Jerome Bonaparte also took his own face into consideration, which shows that he is indeed a friend who can be trusted. (In Franz Joseph's concept, there is no option of complete trust.
There are only trustworthy and untrustworthy ones!)
…
The next morning, Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta left the Hofburg Palace in a carriage.
Elizabeth Yin, wearing a black formal dress, came to the bedroom of Jérôme Bonaparte and his wife to look for Jérôme Bonaparte and his wife. However, she found that Jérôme Bonaparte and his wife were not in the bedroom. She immediately asked Count Grenell
.
Count Grenell told Elizabeth that Jérôme Bonaparte and Queen Augusta had gone to St. Tiffany's Church in Vienna at the invitation of the entourage sent by Bishop Angelo Becciu.
"Bishop Beiqiu?" Queen Elizabeth Yin murmured to herself, "What does he want to do?"
"Maybe it's because the French Empire is also a major Catholic country!" Count Grenell responded to Elizabeth Yin in an inexpressive manner.
On the other hand, after Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta, who were escorted by Austrian cavalry, arrived at the cathedral, Bishop Angelo Becciu, who was standing on the red carpet, immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Welcome to the Cathedral of St. Tiffany, Your Majesty!"
