Royal Palace of the City of Paris, White Dew Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Congratulations to my father!" Princess Bella saluted and watched her father, King Bonaparte XI, disappear surrounded by a crowd of retinues.

The young princess was wearing a purple dress today, with a pair of delicate fish-mouth high heels under her feet, coupled with the light pink makeup on her face, which made her whole person lose a little bit of girl's cuteness and a little more of a woman's gentleness. Although she is still a flower girl at the age of sixteen, you must know that in the Duchy of France, where early marriage is prevalent, there are many aristocratic girls who marry women at the age of thirteen or fourteen, if it were not for the fact that Bonaparte XI loved Princess Bella very much and wanted her to stay by his side for a few more years, Princess Bella at this moment must also be the daughter-in-law of a young and promising young nobleman.

After the figure of Bonaparte XI completely disappeared from her sight, Princess Bella stood up straight and said to several henchmen standing aside, "Let's go, let's go see the queen mother." So soon, Princess Bella also walked out of the Bailu Palace surrounded by the maids and walked towards the Peony Palace not far away.

Princess Bera's mother is the current queen of the Kingdom of France, whose full name is Renée Charles Bonaparte. Queen Renee is from the royal family of the Spanne Empire, and is a sibling to His Majesty Charles XVI, the current Emperor of the Spanne Empire. In other words, Princess Bera addressed His Majesty Charles XVI as - uncle.

Although Her Royal Highness Renee is the most respected queen, this queen, who is known for her wisdom and beauty, is not as good as other aspects in terms of fertility. Queen Renee's two sons born to Bonaparte XI died one after another, leaving only Princess Vera, a daughter who has grown up healthily to this day.

The Peony Palace, where the queen lives, is not far from the Bailu Palace, and although the mistress of the Kingdom of France lives in this palace, it looks quite elegant and simple, which is very different from the style of the French palace as a whole. This was not because Bonaparte XI deliberately wanted to snub his queen, but because Queen Renee did it at her behest. Under the queen's example, the other concubines, whether they wanted to or not, had to follow suit, which saved the treasury a lot of money on decorations.

As soon as she walked into the door of the Peony Palace, Princess Bella's beautiful big eyes suddenly lit up, and then she shouted excitedly: "Queen Mother!" Then, ignoring the exclamation of the maid beside him, he pulled the skirt on his body with both hands, and the high heels under his feet pedaled and ran fast on the bluestone road, and ran straight forward.

On the grass in front of the peony palace is planted a large patch of peony flowers, a middle-aged aristocratic woman of the same age as the king is standing in front of the flowers with flower scissors, very carefully trimming the excess branches and leaves, and several palace maids are standing aside. Regardless of asking, this middle-aged lady is naturally the mother of Princess Bela, Her Royal Highness Renee, the queen of the Kingdom of France.

Princess Bella threw herself into her mother's arms like a milk swallow throwing into the forest, and kissed Her Royal Highness Renee's fair girl-like cheek fiercely, and then smiled: "Queen Mother! I miss you. ”

The expression on Queen Renee's face, who had just turned around, was slightly surprised, obviously she didn't expect her daughter to come suddenly, but the motherly love from the heart still made Her Royal Highness the Queen immediately have a loving smile on her face, and gently kissed Princess Bella on the forehead: "Child, why are you here?" ”

Princess Bella rubbed her mother's arms a few times very comfortably, obviously enjoying the feeling very much, and after half a minute, she raised her head, blinked a pair of lovely big eyes and said to her mother: "Queen Mother, I have something to tell you, it's a serious matter. ”

"Oh, does my little Bela have a crush on some handsome little duke or little marquis?" Queen Renee handed the flower scissors to the maid beside her, stretched out her hand and scratched Princess Bela's upturned little nose affectionately, and said with a smile: "Just tell the queen mother that I will let your father marry my little baby as soon as possible." ”

"Queen Mother!" Princess Bella was so embarrassed that her face was flushed, and she simply buried her head in her mother's arms and couldn't get up: "I don't want to get married!" After saying that, he reached out to tickle Queen Renee, and for a while the mother and daughter made a mess, and the maids next to them covered their mouths and snickered.

"Alright, don't make a fuss." Queen Renee finally stopped her naughty daughter, a violent fight made Queen Renee a little out of breath, at this time the queen was as delicate as a girl's face was white and red, the whole person looked like a blooming peony, inside and outside exuding the style of a mature woman. After a few painless knocks on Princess Bela's forehead, Queen Renee took her daughter's little hand: "Something to go in and say." ”

The two walked into the main hall of the Peony Palace hand in hand and sat down, and the maid on the side served tea and poured water, and after everything was done, Queen Renee waved away the rest of the people in the hall, and then smiled at the daughter in front of her: "Now you can talk." ”

Princess Bella also put away her playful expression at this time, her delicate little face was full of the word serious, and after organizing her words slightly in her heart, she said: "Queen Mother, I feel that my father is a little strange these days. ”

Queen Renee was slightly stunned and said, "What's the strange?" ”

Princess Bella said, "Recently, my father has been taking me to dinner almost every day. ”

Queen Renee was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "So you're complaining that your father interfered with your lunch time with your lover's tryst?" ”

"Not really! I'm serious, Queen Mother! Princess Bella sneered.

"Oh?" Queen Renee looked at her daughter with a smile, apparently not taking Princess Bera's words too seriously.

Princess Bella obviously also saw her mother's thoughts, and a little anger called "I'm obviously an adult mother, why do you still treat me as a child" suddenly surged into her heart, and the girl who was eager to prove herself hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, let me tell you, my father has been preoccupied lately, and even I rarely laugh at him!" ”

"Well," Seeing her daughter look so solemn, Queen Renee finally put away the smile on her face, and thought for a moment before saying, "Your father has a lot of opportunities, and I have heard that the Jimny people in the east have been stirring up recently, so it is understandable." ”

Because the queen came from the Spanny Empire, such a special status made her resist by the major aristocratic families in France, so although the queen is known for her wisdom, she has always lived in the palace, and has never participated in any political affairs in France, and even the news of the Jimny Empire was learned from the mouths of the palace maids around her.

"No, it's not." Compared to her mother, Princess Bera, who was extremely favored and often met with Bonaparte XI, was obviously more aware of the decisions of the high-ranking people in France, and immediately told Queen Renee what she had learned. Although many of them come from the inadvertent rhetoric of Bonaparte XI and the hearsay of Princess Bella, Her Royal Highness has obviously inherited the wisdom of her mother, and in many places she has guessed everything just by guessing, which is not far from the real truth.

"Well—" After listening to what Princess Bella had to say, Her Royal Highness, who had been smiling, frowned for the first time and began to groan. After a long while, he said, "So the decision to transfer the Black Rose Legion to the Eastern Front was actually made under the push of Duke Louis?" ”

Princess Bella nodded, and then said very seriously: "It should be like this, I have seen that old Louis a few times, and he looks fierce, and he is definitely not a good person." ”

Queen Renee couldn't help but laugh again, shook her head and said, "How can you judge whether a person is good or bad based on his appearance, Duke Louis is an important minister of the country, you can't say that about him." ”

"I don't care, he's not a good person anyway." Princess Bella pursed her lips coquettishly, and then said, "Queen Mother, I don't understand why my father would rather transfer the Black Rose Legion to the Eastern Front than ask His Majesty Uncle for help?" ”

The uncle in Princess Bella's mouth is naturally Queen Renee's own brother, His Majesty the Emperor of the Spany Empire, the largest power in the continent - Charles XVI.

Queen Renee seemed to be reminded of Princess Bera's words, and sighed faintly for a long time: "I understand him, your father is not really unwilling to do this, but he can't. ”

Princess Bella blinked at her mother with a pair of beautiful big eyes, her face was full of expressions that seemed to understand whether she understood or not, even if she inherited the excellent genes and wisdom from her parents, it was obviously a little too much to let a sixteen-year-old girl understand such a national event.

"All in all, your father has a last resort in this matter." Queen Renee obviously didn't want to continue on the topic of asking for help, so she changed the topic again: "Although the Jimnis are menacing, since the Black Rose Legion has set out, with the strength of the Black Rose Legion and General Andrei's command art, it is impossible for the Jimny to pose a threat to us, so you can rest assured." Have time to spend more time with your father and make him happier, you know? ”

"Oh." Princess Bella nodded, and after a few more conversations with Queen Renee, she took her leave.

Queen Renee stood at the gate of the Peony Palace, watching her daughter's figure disappear from her sight, and the loving smile on her face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a worried face. I don't know why, this wise queen always has a feeling that this time the war with Jimny doesn't seem to be so simple, and maybe something earth-shattering will happen.

A woman's intuition is always a very scary thing that can point to the truth.

So Queen Renee immediately called a confidant maid and whispered to the maid, "Go and find the great wizard of Lynch." ”
