The conversation with his uncle made Aigron feel very happy. After all, this uncle was quite friendly to him, and listening to his uncle's emotions made him feel a lot.
No matter how many ups and downs there were back then, his uncle once stood at the top of power in France and saw too many things, so he could let people reminisce about that bygone era while talking and laughing.
However, the dinner eventually came to an end, and their conversation could not continue indefinitely. When the time reached late at night, Prince Lucien Bonaparte finally stopped talking and said goodbye to his mother and nephew. He still had many things to do.
You can't rest here with your mother.
"It's getting very late, I think I have to go back."
"Goodbye, uncle." Aiglon said goodbye to him with some reluctance, "I will keep your teachings in mind."
"As a loser, I have nothing to teach you. At most I can only tell you stories." Lucien Bonaparte replied with a smile, "But seeing that you are so outstanding, I feel very happy.
I'm happy, so I wish you all the best in the future."
"If I really get what I want, I will find a way to make up for the rift between our two families." Aigron took the opportunity to make a promise.
"Crack? There is no crack, it has disappeared long ago!" Lucien Bonaparte laughed, "Besides, my nephew, I am already old, I don't know if I can see you get what you want.
On that day, whether I am here or not, our family will be your friendly friends, but we will not become your servants. We would rather bless you silently in Rome."
Aiglon understood what his uncle meant. Even if he really restored the empire one day, Uncle Lucien's family would not come to Paris to bow down to him and beg for favor. They would rather stay in Rome and live their lives.
Although this uncle is getting older, his stubbornness has never changed... He sighed silently in his heart, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Thinking about it from another angle, maybe this is also a good thing. After all, this way, he won't have to worry about how to arrange the relatives in this house after the incident is completed. The Bonaparte family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it would be nice to have less trouble.
"You are really full of personality and full of the charm of that era, uncle." In the end, he could only reply to the other party, "Okay, if this is your will, then I can only respect your personal opinion. But even if we
The two families are separated in two places, but the fetters of family ties will always connect us spiritually, just like today."
"That's very well said, Aigron, you are not a poet, are you?" Lucien sneered. "This eloquence is really amazing."
"I do sometimes." Aiglon nodded.
"The rhapsody of a poet and the caution of a politician are indeed qualities that are difficult to have at the same time, but if they can be integrated together, they will definitely be successful. I hope you can do it, my nephew." The prince said to his nephew seriously.
.
But his face softened immediately, "I will give you the news as soon as possible. When the day comes when His Majesty the Pope comes to my home, come over. I think this is the most useful thing I can do for you.
"
"I will go to the appointment on time," Aigron promised with a nod. "Uncle, I'm not talking politely to you. You really solved a problem for me."
"Really? That's my honor." Lucien Bonaparte laughed again, and then hugged his nephew, "Aigron, I can understand the fire and blood in your heart, because I once had those things.
, I know what it feels like...so go ahead and do it, I'm proud of you! I once thought that God had abandoned our family, but today I understand, it turns out that our luck has not run out, and God is still here.
Look after us!"
After saying these words proudly, he said no more and turned to leave, while others at the table watched the prince leave in silence.
After her son left, Queen Letizia also yawned.
"It seems that our family gathering is coming to an end. Aiglon, please forgive me for not being able to entertain you anymore. My brother and I are already old, and we must go to bed at this time..."
"I took the liberty of disturbing you. Please forgive me, grandma." Aigron said good night quickly, "I wish you a good night. I think you will sleep soundly tonight."
"Of course, I'm in a great mood now, and I will definitely have a good dream tonight." Letizia showed a weird smile, "For example, if I dreamed that my great-grandson was crawling around on my knees?
"
Agron and Teresa looked at each other awkwardly.
"Hahaha, don't worry, I'm just joking." The old woman laughed, and then blinked a little narrowly, "But I really should give you two young couples a chance to be alone... I
Grandchildren, I feel happy when I see you! Oh, I really don’t know what qualifications I have for God to favor me so much, and to have such a lovely grandson and granddaughter-in-law in my old age.”
The old man laughed uncontrollably, and then he and Cardinal Fish went to their respective rooms to sleep.
After the two old men left, Aigron and Teresa looked at each other again, but this time they were both a little relieved.
Although it is very pleasant to eat and chat with the elders, it is quite tiring to deal with them just because they are elders.
Grandma is right, now is the time to enjoy the time you two have alone.
Aigron walked up to Theresa and kissed her cheek gently, "Theresa, let's go."
"It's time to rest." Teresa also breathed a sigh of relief. "It would be great if all members of our family were like grandma and uncle."
"Although some people are still unruly, they will tame sooner or later." Aiglon replied, "Don't mind, Teresa, as long as they still ask for help from us, they will eventually be your and my servants."
Then, he took Teresa's hand and was led by the maid to the room assigned to the two of them.
After hurriedly washing up, they lay on the bed together as usual.
As soon as he lay down, Aigron's hands wrapped around the girl's waist habitually, and then he hugged her.
Although he had become accustomed to this kind of hug over the past few months, he still felt unusually comfortable every time he felt the touch on his body.
It is still the cold season of early spring, so both of them are still wearing thick cotton pajamas, but even so, the feeling of being distracted still arises in the hearts of the two of them.
"Well..." He breathed a long sigh of relief, "Teresa, my grandmother is really very polite to you. Before we even asked for money, she had already offered to donate her property to you."
"That's natural. She has always pitied me. When I went to Rome to ask to see her, she had been feeling sorry for me and felt that she owed me too much... So, she wanted to use this method to
Make up for the guilt in your heart." Teresa replied pointedly.
Although her tone was calm, Aigron could tell there was something in her words, but he wisely chose not to take this issue again.
Fortunately, Teresa just wanted to prick her husband and did not intend to continue to settle old scores, so she took the initiative to change the subject, "But having said that, grandma's arrangement seems to be to hand over all her property to me...
"
"Yeah, so what?" Aigron asked.
"Logically speaking, shouldn't she give it to you directly? You are the biological grandson." Teresa replied.
"Maybe she thinks you are just another one of her... You are all women who married into this family and then took care of the family business as the matron." Aigron thought for a moment and then replied, "She thinks
Entrusting your property to your care can better reflect our importance and expectations for you."
There was another thing he didn't say. Letizia was afraid that Aiglon would be sorry for Teresa in the future, so she asked Teresa to manage these properties as a means of blackmail.
Of course, this kind of coercion means nothing to him.
"She wants me to be like her..." Theresa seemed to accept Aigron's explanation, muttering to herself in a low voice, and then her face suddenly turned red.
Aigron was a little confused at first, and then suddenly understood what she was thinking. "Did you expect to have as many children as her?"
Teresa glared at him fiercely, as if she wanted to refute, but was speechless.
"That's too tiring." After a moment, she said with a slight flinch.
Aiglon couldn't help but laugh.
Indeed, after Letizia married Aigron's grandfather, Charles Bonaparte, she gave birth to more than ten children in total, and the children who lived to adulthood alone included five sons and three daughters.
Among women of this era, it is not unusual for Teresa’s ancestor, Queen Teresa, who is famous in history, to have given birth to more than a dozen children...
Even Teresa herself had five or six brothers and sisters.
When Teresa thought about this, she was a little scared but also a little hopeful, which was normal.
"If you don't want to have so many children, we can find a way to control it." Aigron whispered, "I can try to pay attention."
"That's not possible." Teresa shook her head decisively, "My mother has told me a long time ago that the Bonaparte family is already very thin in your generation, and in your branch, you are the only one."
The only seedling, this is too dangerous, just like a candle in the wind. If you are not careful, you will fall into the crisis of being cut off... I should work hard to expand our family and give birth to more children.
Come and get you out of this crisis."
Aigron was moved and amused at the same time.
In fact, he didn't particularly care about inheritance, but in this era, it was normal for nobles to care about family inheritance, and he couldn't pour cold water on Theresa.
"So how many do you think is just right?" Aigron asked, holding back a smile.
"I don't know, but... at least I can't lose to my mother, right?" Teresa replied in a low voice, "I don't want to be ridiculed by my mother anyway..."
What's so shameful about this kind of question...Aigron said in his heart.
It seems that some things are indeed deep-rooted and subtle in thinking. Although Theresa is usually very open-minded, on this issue, she is no different from Madam.
However, this is also because you love yourself deeply, right?
If you don't love her, why would you care so much about how many children you have?
When he thought of this, his heart was filled with emotion.
"So... let's start from the first one?" he suggested with a smile.
"Today?! We have just completed such a long journey!" Teresa's eyes widened, as if she was very surprised, "Aren't you tired?"
"I won't be tired when you are in my arms." Aigron said as he pressed closer to the girl, letting her feel the unmistakable "evidence".
"Look, I'm very energetic."
Teresa narrowed her eyes and looked at her little husband who was so close as if she were looking at a monster.
"But we are at our grandma's house now." She pointed out this fact. "We are new here, so we should observe etiquette and not do embarrassing things."
"What's the point of living if we have to pay so much attention to our grandma's house?" Aigron retorted in a low voice, "Besides, our grandma will definitely be very happy that we are so energetic. She just kept talking about looking forward to it.
Have great-grandchildren sooner..."
Teresa was rendered speechless by Aigron's refutation, or perhaps she was not so persistent in her objection in the first place.
At this moment, Aigron's hands began to become irregular again, causing the girl's breathing to become rapid.
"Then..." Teresa seemed to have finally lost her patience and was about to agree to her husband's request and endure the coming storm.
Before she could finish speaking, Aigron suddenly interrupted her again, "Teresa...well, actually, if you think about it carefully, you are right. We have just completed such a long journey, and I am a little tired myself."
Well, it’s not good to keep fussing anymore... Besides, as newly arrived guests, we should be quiet and not cause trouble to others."
These words were like a basin of cold water, making the girl freeze.
Then, feeling ashamed and angry, she lightly kicked her husband, "Why are you pretending at this time? Did you do it on purpose?!"
On the surface, Aiglon groaned in pain, but in his heart he was laughing.
Having been with Teresa for so long, he can certainly guess what his wife is thinking. Teresa may have scruples on the surface, but in fact she already knows the taste. She just has to show restraint, so she deliberately tweaks it, just to let Agron
It's just a request.
It was precisely because Aigron saw through her coquettishness that he often teased her deliberately and made her furious.
Of course, this kind of teasing was limited to boudoir teasing between husband and wife, and he didn't dare to really make Teresa angry.
"So do you want it or not?" he asked with a smile. "I feel like my state is about to pass..."
"I want it! I want it!" Teresa blushed, then kissed her little husband with abandonment, "Stop talking!"
Just like that, a small storm immediately broke out in the room, and in this way Aiglon ended his first night in Rome again.
