"Your Excellency the Marquis, that white sugar, uh... Right! Do you still have rock candy? I think he works perfectly with the Veuve Clicquot champagne from my estate! ”

The carriage clattered along the stone-paved road, and a short white man riding a flower mare with a slightly high hairline put on an impeccable posture and talked to Ye Kaipan, but he seemed to be unable to help but suck his saliva when he mentioned rock candy.

This guy is the younger brother of King Louis XVI of France, the Grand Prince, Count of Provence, and Louis XVIII after the Revolution.

Unlike his elder brother Louis XVI, Louis XVIII was very outgoing, fond of novelty affairs, and more deeply influenced by the ideas of the Enlightenment, a free-thinking French prince.

However, in Ye Kai's opinion, although this guy is thirty years old, he is simply a curious baby, and on the way from Le Havre to Paris, he asked Ye Kai at least hundreds of various questions.

In addition to these, he is also a glutton, the famous Veuve Clicquot champagne with rock sugar, Ye Kai couldn't help grinning, this picture is completely unimaginable!

"Your Excellency, the Marquis of Saigon has prepared for you thirty pounds of weight units before the French Revolution, and there are hundreds of pounds of rock candy, which will be delivered to your palace when you settle down." Anna rode up and whispered.

Ye Kai looked at Anna with a sunny face, this girl had the blood of the Habsburg family in his body, Ye Kai thought she was joking at that time, but he didn't expect the result to be true.

And four generations from Anna's family, she was really aristocrat, and his great-grandfather served the former Polish king Stanisław I.

The daughter of Stanisław I was Louis XVIII and Louis XVI's grandmother, and according to Anna's great-grandfather, she also guarded Louis X's grandmother. Leshczynska.

With this relationship, under Jenna's matchmaking, Ye Kai quickly became familiar with Louis XVIII, so much so that now Louis XVIII is not wearing the clothes of a French nobleman, but a red flying fish suit.

Ye Kai didn't expect that these Frenchmen would be so fanatical about pursuing the flying fish suit, so he had to take off a flying fish suit of a Ye family student who was about the same size as Louis XVIII.

As soon as he heard that the rock candy had his own share, Louis XVIII gave Ye Kai a satisfied look, he pointed to the front and said loudly: "There is the Palace of Versailles, we should be able to arrive before dinner." ”

At this time, the political center of France was not Paris, because the king did not live there, but in Versailles, and although Louis XVI was not very busy, he was still the most powerful man in France.

Ye Kai rode on his horse and looked around, the endless fields around him, although it was almost winter, they were still full of life.

Not far away, the low houses of French peasants looked like dirt bags, and he could often see timid farmers kneeling on the side of the road with their heads lowered, and some drooling children in tatters, cowering behind their parents, watching the luxurious motorcade pass by with surprised eyes.

Although it was the end of the eighteenth century, Paris was in full swing of the Enlightenment, the French had colonies in all parts of the world, and the whole kingdom seemed rich and powerful.

But in the suburbs not far from Paris, the ordinary French farmers Ye Kai saw were no different from the poor Chinese farmers under the rule of the old man.

Not only did they not enjoy the slightest benefit of France's power, but they lived a hellish life because of the multiple oppressions of the king, the nobility, the bishops, and the new bourgeoisie.

This may be one of the important reasons why Louis XVI's family will lose their heads a few years later, and the seemingly glorious French Bourbon dynasty is smoking and laughing on top of a pile of explosives.

In the Grand Trianon, a hall used to receive foreign envoys, King Louis XVI of France sat on a high throne with a rare solemn face.

All of these palaces were looted and burned down during the Revolution a few years later, but now, the Versailles complex, with its thousands of rooms, is majestic and beautiful.

Peter walked in the front, Ye Kai pulled Ruan Fujing to walk behind, and behind them there was a Ruan Dynasty scholar holding the national letter.

"His Royal Highness Nguyen Thi Phuc Anh, King of Quang Nam from the East, wishes His Majesty the King of Grand France well, and His Royal Highness Nguyen Thi Hock Kyung, the prince of the royal family, wishes His Majesty the King of Grand France well!"

Ye Kai pulled Ruan Fujing to kneel down on one knee, he first greeted Louis XVI on behalf of Ruan Fuying and his son, and the scholar Lang behind him also knelt down on one knee and handed the letter to Louis XVI's close attendant.

As for Peter, although he was a righteous envoy, he was French after all, so he stood aside and had no words.

"Your French is very good, Your Excellency, please get up, the King of France, Louis XVI of Bourbon, also greetings to the King of Quang Nam!" Louis XVI's voice was surprisingly magnetic.

Ye Kai, who stood up, looked up at Louis XVI, this His Majesty the King is really not too fat, he has a peaceful demeanor, he does not have the prestige and arrogance of a big country king, and his temperament is closer to that of a well-educated scholar.

Ye Kai sighed in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor Qi of the Bourbon Dynasty might not have imagined it, but after only eight years, he would die under his improved guillotine and become one of only three kings in Europe to be executed.

In fact, the fate of His Majesty the King is not as good as that of Emperor Qi, at least Emperor Qi has a good younger brother, Emperor Chongzhen, and he can only use his own life and the queen's life to bury the Bourbon family.

"Your Majesty, the King of Quang Nam has sent him to France in Xia Wanli to ask for assistance from His Majesty the great King Louis XVI, and to ask you to grant your country permission to support the King of Quang Nam's restoration movement!" After submitting the credentials, it is time to make your intentions clear.

Louis XVI looked at the important ministers around him for a moment, and then nodded, "It is my pleasure to destroy the rebels, to preserve the dignity of a king, and to sponsor a just movement for the restoration of the country, and I authorize my ministers to discuss specific matters with His Excellency!" ”

Louis XVI would of course agree, in fact this is just a formality, the specific terms will definitely need to be painstakingly negotiated to be reached, how many troops France will send troops, how many weapons, and what benefits will be obtained in the end, one by one will have to be slowly discussed.

"To entertain guests from afar, my Queen, the beautiful and noble Mary. Antonevat arranged a reception dinner, and the envoy invited him to come down and rest, and at dinner I expected the envoy to tell us about the beauty of the kingdom of Seris. ”

Louis XVI also knew what Ye Kai was doing at the docks, and the king, who was obsessed with smelting iron and making locks, rarely showed a little excitement about other things!
