Throughout the entire ball, Josephine waited for the opportunity to get close to Napoleon.
Of course, you still have to dance. Because you are spinning around all the time, it is not easy to keep an eye on Napoleon. But as soon as you come out of the dance floor, Josephine immediately confirms Napoleon's position.
Josephine discovered that this Corsican didn't seem to like dancing very much. He had been sitting on the sidelines, drinking champagne, chatting with Chief of Staff Berthier, who also didn't like dancing.
Thanks to this blessing, it was not that difficult to keep an eye on Napoleon.
Finally, Josephine got the opportunity she had been waiting for.
Napoleon suddenly stood up and walked to the terrace.
The main terrace of the Royal Palace, like the terraces of other palaces, allows you to enjoy the night view of the garden, so if you feel bored during the ball, you can go to the garden to get some fresh air.
In this era, there are no ventilators in the house. With so many people playing in the hall, everyone will feel bored sometimes.
Napoleon was certainly no exception.
Seeing Napoleon going to the terrace, Josephine immediately stood up and followed him.
When we arrived at the terrace, there were already several people outside to get some fresh air. When these people saw Napoleon coming out, they all came up to say hello.
Then a clever guy saw Josephine coming out and immediately coughed, interrupting everyone.
Now everyone saw Josephine, and they naturally understood that the two of them knew each other and came to the terrace to chat.
So everyone politely left, leaving Napoleon alone.
Napoleon also saw Josephine. He leaned against the balcony railing and waited for Josephine to come over.
"What do you want from me?" Napoleon spoke first before Josephine could speak.
Josephine: "I'm holding a tea party at the Chateau Malmaison tomorrow, so I was wondering if I could invite Mr. Bonaparte to come?"
Napoleon looked Josephine up and down: "Is this because Andy couldn't be invited, so he settled for the next best thing and invited me?"
Josephine: "You misunderstood. I was originally very interested in Napoleon Bonaparte, the famous city defender who captured the younger brother of Emperor Shinra."
An Ning didn't hear this at the scene, otherwise she would have laughed out loud.
Napoleon became a famous general who defended the city, and it was really interesting to mess up history.
Napoleon was very pleased with Josephine's flattery, but he still humbled himself and said: "I just opened the city gate and charged at the right time. In fact, I didn't do anything big."
Napoleon in another time and space was very good at boasting - good at self-packaging. He would always exaggerate one point of merit into ten points.
For example, at Austerlitz, according to Napoleon, when a large number of enemies escaped through the glacial lake, the ice surface was collapsed by French heavy artillery, and countless people were drowned.
However, according to the records and memories of other contemporaries, some people did run onto the glacial lake and the ice broke, but the number was much smaller than what Napoleon said.
In short, it is certain that Napoleon was very good at self-packaging.
But in this time and space, Napoleon not only stopped packaging himself, but also became self-effacing.
The flapping wings of the An Ning butterfly have caused changes visible to the naked eye.
Josephine was very good at seizing other people's pain points to start the topic. Now he always felt that this seemed to be Napoleon's pain point, so he said: "You can tell us all about the war in Sedan at the tea party. I want to attend the tea party.
All gentlemen and ladies will like it very much.”
Napoleon curled his lips: "That sounds good. So you invited Andy just to let him tell stories about the war?"
When Josephine heard Napoleon's answer, she immediately realized that this was not Napoleon's pain point.
"We want to see the most powerful general of the Republic in action on the battlefield." Josephine slightly corrected Napoleon.
Napoleon: "Okay, Yingzi. Why not, I can go and tell you this story, and have some tea and snacks by the way."
"But I made it clear beforehand."
Napoleon suddenly straightened his face and stared at Josephine: "Don't do anything that harms Andy's interests. If you do, I will blow you to pieces with grape bullets!"
Josephine smiled and said: "Then you can rest assured, I can't have any bad intentions."
Napoleon: "Humph, you are like a spider, hiding in the web woven by interpersonal relationships, waiting for its prey to take the bait."
Josephine: "Spiders eat their prey, and I get eaten by their prey. That's the difference."
In another time and space, when Napoleon first met Josephine, he was still a young man, and his heart was immediately captured by his elder sister.
But this time and space is different. In this time and space, Napoleon became familiar with La Salle, and was led by La Salle to see the vastness of the world.
So he has no sense!
In fact, although Josephine's appearance was not bad, in the eyes of Napoleon, who had seen Italian beauties, it was "just like that".
So at this time, Napoleon responded unceremoniously to Josephine's hint: "Don't think of yourself as a delicacy. Even if you are really a delicacy, I still have the right to choose not to eat it."
Josephine felt a little discouraged for a moment. She couldn't help but wonder if the place of Palais Royal was in conflict with her, why nothing went smoothly after arriving at Palais Royal.
She quickly adjusted her mentality, stepped forward and lay on the railing next to Napoleon, looking at the garden under the night, and continued the topic by pretending to be casual: "Your sister is wearing a military uniform. Did you send her to a military school?"
Napoleon: "Isn't that nonsense? I sent her to the Military Academy at Brienne."
"So you don't plan to let her get married in the future?"
Napoleon rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "No, actually this is an economic problem. In 1790, the Great Revolution had just happened. I was just a small second lieutenant, but I had to support my family with a meager salary. At that time, I thought
He certainly couldn't afford the dowry for his sister's wedding, so he agreed to her request to enter the military academy.
"I'm not Andy. How could I have predicted the current situation? How could I have predicted that I would become a confidant of the commander-in-chief of the entire French army."
Josephine raised her eyebrows and asked casually: "Frost actually predicted the current situation?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Napoleon became more energetic, and his previous caution was thrown away: "Of course, you don't know how amazing he is. In 1781, in Brienne, he predicted the occurrence of the Great Revolution with me!
"
Josephine noticed with great joy that this was Napoleon's pain point!
So she put on an expression of shock and curiosity: "What? Really?"
Napoleon was still ignorant and was dragged away by the nose: "Of course! Let me tell you, he also predicted..."
Napoleon spoke with great joy, and Josephine listened with an expression full of curiosity.
