[The plot continues with Extra 16, Queen Agnes Line]
After taking a walk with her sister, Queen Agnes suddenly had the idea to turn her niece Xia Lu into her apprentice. She ignored Xia Lu's struggle and forcibly dragged her towards her bedroom.
None of the attendants dared to stop Her Majesty the Queen's "nonsense" and could only let her do whatever she wanted. Although Xia Lu was unwilling, she was unable to resist her aunt's violence in terms of status and strength, so she could only do so reluctantly.
May the land be dragged away.
Soon, Agnes took Xia Lu back to her room. She backed away and walked in with only Xia Lu.
As the queen's residence, it is naturally very spacious and luxuriously furnished. The walls are decorated with tassels and precious paintings, and the floor is covered with soft carpets. Everything is magnificent, but Agnes doesn't care much about these decorations. She cares more about,
It is a weapon rack placed among the beautifully decorated furniture and works of art.
Before becoming queen, Agnes was very fond of swordsmanship, and after becoming queen, she did not change her original intention, and even developed a hobby of collecting various famous swords.
It didn’t take long for the whole of France and even the whole of Europe to know about Queen Agnes’s preference for swords, and it became a talking point in the social circle. This is a strange hobby for a noble lady, but since she is the queen
, and who can stop her or blame her?
Since His Majesty the Emperor has no objection to this, everyone can only let her hobbies go as they please. There are also many people who take the initiative to give swords as gifts in order to please her. This is more valued by Her Majesty the Queen than any other gift.
In just a few years, Queen Agnes's collection of weapons expanded unknowingly. Not only did she have swords of various shapes from all over Europe, she even had swords customized from foreign countries across the ocean. It can be said that
A magnificent sight.
Most of the weapons in the collection will be placed in a special room and carefully maintained by a dedicated person every day. Only those with the best craftsmanship, the sharpest, and the ones that suit her best will be placed in Her Majesty's suite and maintained by her every day.
Appreciate and maintain it yourself.
Agnes took Xia Lu to the back of an embroidered screen, and here was where her most beloved collections were displayed.
Here is a row of shelves with various swords placed on them. The sword blades emit a metallic cold light in the sun. Just standing in front of them, there is a chilling air rushing towards your face.
The young Xia Lu was caught off guard and seemed stunned for a moment, her legs were a little weak, while Agnes looked at her beloved niece with a smile.
"Xia Lu, these are aunt's treasures. When you gradually develop them in the future, you can play with these treasures at will. Do you think your aunt treats you well?"
"I don't want to play with these things... Aunt, please let me go back. Mom must miss me very much." Xia Lu replied with a sad face.
"That's not possible! You've already come, how can you give up halfway?" Agnes suddenly turned serious and looked at Xia Lu seriously, "Xia Lu, do you want to disobey my wishes?"
Although Agnes usually laughed and laughed in front of Xia Lu, as the queen of a country, she had her own majesty. Seeing her say this, Xia Lu was so shocked that she didn't dare to speak out.
Tears slowly formed in the corners of her eyes, but she could only nod aggrievedly.
"That's how good you are!" Queen Agnes showed a secret smile after victory, and then she stroked her nephew's little head, "Don't cry in despair, this is an honor that no one can ask for!"
After finishing speaking, she looked at her collection shelf with interest, then reached out and took down a weapon from it.
Before Xia Lu could react, Agnes had already handed the sword to her.
Xia Lu took a closer look and found that the sword was not amazing in appearance, and there were many scars on the hilt and body of the sword. It was completely different from other collections. There was even a question of "Does it deserve to be here?"
Feel.
"Xia Lu, even though it is so inconspicuous, it is of great significance..." Agnes looked at the sword in her hand, her eyes suddenly filled with nostalgia, "This is the sword my master gave me.
At this age, I was already practicing with her... Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, how old are my children already?"
After sighing, she looked at Xia Lu again, "Xia Lu, I gave it to you. I hope you can be like me at that time, study hard, hone your will, and eventually become a tough and reliable person.
.You are very smart, much smarter than my own children, but smart people are generally not diligent, or weak-willed, and this weakness will drag them down and make them ineffective in the end... I don't want you to be like those people,
You have wasted your intelligence. You have a good grandfather and a good mother. They will naturally teach you wisdom and dexterity. All I can do is sharpen your will with my sword. I hope that one day, you can become
This court, the strongest people in this empire, defend our nascent dynasty."
"Aunt...?" Xia Lu was dumbfounded.
Her Majesty the Queen has always had a very relaxed and humorous image in front of her. She originally thought that Her Majesty the Queen would not consider so many things, but she did not expect that it turned out that it was not her own whim that forced her to accept her as her apprentice.
But there is this level of consideration.
Before she could react, Agnes continued, "You have to remember that you are where you are today and you are able to get compliments and favors from everyone in the palace because your aunt and uncle like you.
The reason why your family is prosperous is because we are supporting you. Xia Lu, the Treville family and the Bonaparte family share weal and woe. As long as the royal family is still there, you will always have glory and wealth, and this palace will have you.
You must use your hands and your mind to defend this place. You must be the best guardian of our family and protect this country and this family, because it is everything to you, do you understand?"
From her aunt's eyes, Xia Lu felt extremely heavy.
It turns out that Queen Agnes, who seems to be laughing and joking and only thinking about her own happiness and never getting involved in political affairs, has such a clear sense of crisis about her situation.
She wanted her children to successfully inherit everything from their parents, and she was her chosen protector for the next generation.
This is not a blind choice. My aunt is right. The Treville family and the Bonaparte family share weal and woe. Everything I have now comes from this. If one day the empire is destroyed, then everything I own will also be destroyed.
Will be wiped out into ashes.
So from a standpoint, Xia Lu must naturally be a "royalist".
Agnes wants to "train" her niece in order to train her into a qualified core member of the next generation of the empire.
The young Xia Lu quickly understood all this. From her aunt's eyes, she saw how much expectations she carried from Her Majesty the Queen.
She didn't want to live up to such expectations.
"I know, aunt... I will do it well." Xia Lu made up her mind, and then said to Her Majesty the Queen with great ambition.
"That's great, Xia Lu!" Agnes was overjoyed and patted Xia Lu's head again, "I knew you would never let your aunt down..."
After saying that, she put the sword in her hand directly into Xia Lu's hand, and this seemed to represent a spiritual inheritance.
Xia Lu held the sword, but before she could taste the heaviness in it, suddenly, the door to the room opened, and then a pair of footsteps strode into the room.
"Agnes, are you there?" Then, there was another call.
Xia Lu quickly recognized that it was His Majesty the Emperor's voice, which was inevitable. Only His Majesty the Emperor could break into His Majesty the Queen's suite without notification.
Agnes was stunned for a moment, and then made a silencing gesture to Xia Lu, telling her not to make any noise. Agnes was not sure what her husband's opinion was on this, so she decided to hide it from him first and wait until the deal was settled.
"Honey, what's the matter?" After comforting Xia Lu, Agnes walked out from behind the screen and looked at her husband with a smile.
Today, His Majesty the Emperor was wearing a tuxedo and looked as majestic as usual. When he saw his wife, he greeted her with a smile on his face and hugged her warmly.
"It's nothing, Agnes, I just want to stay with you for a while. The meeting with those chattering congressmen just made me lose my appetite, but I have to force a smile... I need to breathe some fresh air with you before I can regain my senses."
cheer up."
After he finished speaking, he deliberately sniffed his wife's body a few times.
"Hmm...it's really nice, such a fresh scent! Were you walking outside with Alice and the others just now?"
"Don't make trouble!" Agnes knocked her husband's head gently, "Yes, I was walking along the river with Alice just now, and I just came back."
"I'm so envious that you can be so relaxed and at ease." Agron said with a hint of envy, and then he changed the topic, "But you will have to be busy next, Agnes. We will be outside the Fontainebleau Gardens in a while.
You must be prepared to hold a large-scale celebration to celebrate the anniversary of the empire."
"Ah... it's so troublesome." Agnes sighed, looking listless, "Okay, I will try my best to pay attention."
Aigron looked at his wife.
Although the two have been married for several years, she is only in her twenties now, which is when a woman's charm is at its peak, especially Agnes's own abundant vitality, which has made her become several
Even though she is the mother of her child, she still has a girlish charm.
Although she is a queen, apart from collecting swords, she has almost no extravagant hobbies, nor does she like to pay attention to ostentation. Her personality is very peaceful and close to the people, and she almost never puts on airs when dealing with others. Therefore, although she is not a princess of a country, she is very
She soon gained the respect and prestige she deserved in the eyes of the people, and everyone felt that she was one of the most outstanding and most lovable queens in the history of France.
Of course, Aigron himself thought so too.
There is no doubt that the two of them will grow old together and rule this country that belongs to their family until they leave hand in hand.
"Agnes, it's time for our son to appear in public. After the celebration, you will take him on stage with you. Keep an eye on him to prevent him from losing his composure."
"Yeah, I know. Don't worry, our baby son will have no problem coping with this situation." Agnes nodded, and then she sighed secretly, "However, I think our children are not as good as
Xia Lu is smart... Really, I have already become a queen, why can't I compare with my sister?"
"I'm afraid it's because you're not as smart as Alice." Aigron joked, "Children follow their mothers."
Agnes immediately became angry and stared at her husband with cannibalistic eyes. "You can't talk nonsense even if it's the truth! Besides, I have my own advantages, don't I?"
"Of course, you have too many advantages, so I married you." Aigron quickly comforted her.
Then, he laughed narrowly, "Actually, if we want to have a child smarter than Xia Lu, it's not too late... Agnes, how about we keep working hard?"
"It's daytime now, of course it's not too late!" Agnes heard the constriction in her husband's tone, then she blushed instantly, and then angrily scolded her husband, "You are the emperor, how can you think about such things all day long...
…”
"What's wrong with the emperor? The emperor also has to balance work and rest." Aigron retorted disapprovingly. "Besides, you have the nerve to say that to me? As a queen, you don't look like a serious queen."
"What? Are you dissatisfied with me? But you said you didn't care about me at the beginning..." Agnes continued to glare at her husband, "Besides... I think I have always done a pretty good job, even if someone laughs at me
Me, I don’t care either.”
Seeing Agnes' angry look, Agron felt even happier. Even at his current status and age, teasing Agnes still made him endlessly happy.
The fatigue and weariness he had accumulated before had been swept away. At this moment, he only had eyes for his wife, and he just wanted to continue to be tender and affectionate with her.
Moved by emotion, he grabbed Agnes's hand.
"Agnes, I will never forget the way you drew your sword in the moonlight when we first met..." he said emotionally, "from that moment on, I knew that I never wanted you to leave me.
Already."
"Humph, I held back at that time!" Although Agnes was shy, she still pretended to be angry and replied, "Otherwise, France would not have an emperor today."
"It should be said that I was the one who held back my hand, right!" Aigron protested dissatisfiedly, "I had a gun in my hand at that time. If I had been merciless, France would be..."
He originally wanted to say that there is no queen in France now, but then he thought that if there was no Agnes, he would also marry other queens, so he changed his mind temporarily, "But there is no most lovely Agnes."
Queen Silk..."
Agnes's face was completely red, which was a sign of emotion, but she refused to give in. "Why, did you feel that there was no winner and loser at the beginning, and you were very unconvinced?"
"What do you mean there is no winner...?" Aigron asked rudely, "Didn't you already fall by my side and give birth to several children for me?"
Agnes was suddenly speechless.
Just when she was about to retort, Aigron didn't give her the chance. He directly pulled Agnes into his arms and hugged her heavily with his arms.
Amidst Agnes's exclamations and struggles, he looked at his wife who was just a few feet away with a victor's attitude.
"Beautiful Princess Agnes, you have now fallen into the hands of a mountain thief like me, hehehe..." He deliberately laughed obscenely.
"Shameless person! I'm going to kill you!" Agnes yelled, then she struggled hard and stabbed Agron's neck with her knife in an attempt to escape.
The two people were holding hands half-seriously. Unknowingly, the clothes on their bodies were getting less and less, and the temperature of their bodies was getting higher and higher. On their lips, they were teasing and scolding each other, as if they were really talking.
It's like fighting.
Occasionally, really just occasionally, the two of them would come up with a whim and play a pretend game, with Agron playing the role of a robber and Agnes playing the role of a heroic female knight.
Sometimes it is Aiglon who is a tough gangster and is captured by the female knight, and sometimes it is the other way around, where the female knight acts as a hero and is captured by the gangster.
Who "captures" whom depends on the mood of the two people and their performance on the day, but no matter who wins, both people will get indescribable excitement and happiness.
After all, as emperors and empresses, they must show due seriousness and dignity in front of everyone. They cannot even say a word casually. Naturally, it is easy for them to accumulate mental pressure, so secretly letting loose will be harmful.
Get an alternative experience.
However, this can only be a private interest between two people. If outsiders knew that the two His Majesty actually played such a fun game, they would probably be very embarrassed.
Gradually, the scolding voices of the two people were replaced by the continuous gasping sound, and the carpet became a mess. I don't know how long it took before this sudden storm came to an end.
The two people were exhausted and lying weakly on the carpet. Although they both had strong energy and physical strength, the conflict between them made them exhausted from the storm.
After a while, Aigron slowly regained his strength. He struggled to get up, and then put on the clothes scattered on the ground.
He looked at his wife. At this time, her tired face still had the lingering love of spring, her eyes were distracted, and she looked breathtakingly beautiful.
And just when he was admiring his wife's charm, Agnes's eyes suddenly became sharp again.
"Oops!" she shouted softly.
"What's so bad?" Aigron was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that his wife would look at him with anger and shame.
"You ridiculous bastard! Get out!"
Didn't you enjoy it just now? Why don't you recognize people when you're done?
Aigron was a little surprised, but he could tell that his wife was not joking, so he could only shrug.
Alas, woman! It is so difficult to understand.
"Okay..." He could only shrug, "Agnes, I'll wait for you at dinner."
Then, he tidied up his clothes and walked out.
At this time, Agnes let out a sigh of relief, then she also changed her clothes, and then walked lightly behind the screen.
She was not a very attentive person to begin with. The two of them were having fun flirting just now, so she temporarily forgot that there was a third person present.
By the time she remembered, it was too late.
Agnes looked at Xia Lu quietly, while Xia Lu looked at her aunt tremblingly, not daring to express her anger.
It was obvious that she had just heard everything.
Although Her Majesty the Queen looked normal, the faint smell coming from her nose still reminded Xia Lu of what had just happened.
Agnes sneered, and then touched her niece's hair.
"Xia Lu, you don't want your aunt to be angry, right?" she asked in the softest voice.
"Yes...yes...aunt." Xia Lu replied in a low voice with fear, "I didn't hear anything...wow..."
"It's good to know." Agnes continued to caress Xia Lu, and the smile on her face became brighter.
