The prince's sudden complaint made Charles not know what to do for a while.

In any case, these words are difficult to answer, can you still follow the prince to complain that the British do not know the hearts of good people?

Of course...... Very vivid, indeed.

The British really did owe to the prince in every sense of the word.

"You're right, my brother's job isn't that easy, Your Highness." After a moment of silence, Charles tried to fool the past with a nonsensical word, "But isn't it a husband's duty to think about his wife's well-being?" As far as I am concerned, Her Majesty is very affectionate to you......"

"yes, fortunately." Prince Yan Sù's face showed a hint of exhaustion.

Then, he looked up at the Queen, who was smiling and talking to Charlotte in front of him.

"So, let's be honest, maybe you are too, and I love to see her all right, sir. That's why I want to be able to make things as simple as possible with you," the Prince paused after a moment, "and this is a conversation between men...... I hope you will change your old style and approach us with a sincere attitude. ”

"What do you mean?" Charles replied a little confused.

He didn't understand what the prince meant by "conversation between men."

At this moment, the corners of the prince's mouth curled slightly, leaving him with a slightly mocking smile.

"Monsieur de Treville, I have to admit that you are a young man of extreme cleverness, and a young man of great skill...... But. I would like to tell you that we do things differently here. We pay more attention to substance, and we don't take it lightly. We only look at the results. Therefore, if only for the sake of the interests of France, you should abandon the way you did in France and get your task done properly in a form that is less nerve-wracking to me and Victoria - only then will you be able to return to your beloved France with our respect and the praise of Monsieur de Bonaparte, and continue to make waves there as you wish......"

This tone full of sarcasm and complaining made Charles's heart even more solemn. He did not expect that only two hours after he had arrived at Buckingham Palace as a distinguished guest, he would be treated so harshly by the Prince.

Although he still didn't understand why he was so direct all of a sudden, Charles understood that the other party wanted to show his true sincerity and not engage in false tricks.

In other words, such an unkind remark is actually a fear of oneself?

Charles suddenly thought about it and came to this conclusion.

What is my image in the eyes of foreigners, and even of French people in general? Suddenly, this question flashed through his mind, which he had basically not considered before.

And then. He was a little embarrassed.

Cheeky, insatiable, arrogant, and ruthless. Ferocious and ambitious...... Anyway, I can't give any good adjectives.

Such a person will definitely get special treatment from others. Even if you don't despise yourself morally, you should be psychologically defensive about yourself.

"If you need to be open and honest. I will, Your Highness. A moment later. He regained his affection and calmly replied to the Prince, "I have come to England on the orders of His Excellency the President, so that I may be open and honest with you. ”

"It's not just me." The prince lowered his gaze slightly, but still did not see any joy or anger, "Tomorrow, Mr. Russell will come to the palace for an audience, and then we can have a long talk—you will be able to speak freely." Again, sir, we really intend to talk to you about some important issues. I only hope that you will not dodge as you are used to, but that you will be sincere in front of us. ”

Now Charles understands everything.

That is to say, the English did not even intend to delay a little, but directly intended to negotiate with themselves and with Louis Bonaparte, whom they represented, to-morrow, and until then, in order to gain a psychological advantage, or to prepare themselves mentally, the Prince wished that he would not play the usual tricks.

These Britons are really straightforward...... It seems that they are indeed sincere.

Charles immediately made a judgment in his mind.

"Rest assured, I come with all the sincerity of the President, and with all the respect of Britain, and we want more than anyone else the goodwill of Britain......" At such times, of course, he will no longer shy away from saying that he is only visiting in a private capacity. We are willing to pay any price for this kindness. ”

Then, with a smile on his face, he threw out a hint, "The President and I agree that England is vital to the well-being and interests of our country, and that France stands ready to embrace her sister whenever England extends her hand." ”

The Prince had been staring at him without saying a word as Charles said this, and his honest and deferential attitude finally made the Prince nod his head with a look of satisfaction.

"Good, very good." The prince suddenly reached out and patted Charles on the shoulder, "As long as you have this attitude, the problem between the two sisters will be much easier...... Just like them. ”

After hearing his last words, Charles looked up and followed his gaze to see the Queen and Charlotte still talking and laughing.

The two of them had been talking and laughing all the time, as if they hadn't noticed that the two husbands had just clashed in private.

It's still easy for women......

At that moment, the queen suddenly looked away, and walked towards them again with a smile on her face.

"What's wrong, Albert? What do you seem to be muttering about? ”

"Nothing, dear." The prince had completely regained his composure and nodded calmly to his wife, "We just talked about French and English matters. ”

This nodding gesture, as if it was some kind of suggestion, made the queen smile even more heartily.

"Oops, it's rare to have a guest visit us. What's the point of you and others talking about such boring things all the time? The queen smiled and held out her hand. It was put on the prince's lips, signaling him not to engage in such unpleasant topics. "Cheer up, dear! We're going to meet guests today, and we can't make them unhappy, can we? ”

Then, she waved at Charles again, "I'm sorry...... Mr. Treville, I'm afraid Albert has said something that you don't like, right? He likes to be serious in everything, and he always loves to be sad. Worry about things you don't have to worry about, and you don't know how many things in the world need to worry about......"

Then, as if she had thought of something, she widened her eyes slightly and looked at Charles, "By the way, it's too much trouble to call you Monsieur de Treville all the time, you don't mind if I call you Charles, right?" To your wife, I have already called your name directly. She's so happy. ”

"It's my pleasure, Your Majesty." Without hesitation, Charles gave the same reply as Charlotte. "We are so grateful to have received such courtesy from you...... You are the kindest and kindest monarch I have ever met. 陛xià"

"Ah, what a young man who can say good things!" The queen chuckled again, and then suddenly blinked again. "But, Charles. Don't think I'm bothering to entertain you in vain, I'm waiting for your return! ”

Requite?

Shardon tensed up again.

This is to tell me in the negotiations that follow. Make concessions to the British?

This is impossible, even if the queen allows herself to climb into her bed today, he will still fight for the interests of France and himself in a serious manner when the next day negotiates, and there will never be any discount.

Just as Charles was still hesitating in his heart how to imply that he had no power to harm the interests of the country because of his private feelings, the queen suddenly continued in that mysterious tone.

"I've always been curious about France, and I've been thinking about going to France for a while! Especially Versailles, I must like to go and see, as one of the heads of French diplomacy, you will definitely be in charge of receiving me at that time, right? ”

Belch?

Her Majesty the Queen is actually talking about such a thing?

Charles, who had always been at ease, suddenly had a feeling that there was nowhere to start.

"So......," said the Queen, with a smile, "you and your wife have come to England for a rare time, and if we don't entertain us well, I'm afraid you won't be enthusiastic about entertaining us both......"

"That's great!" Because all the words he was mentally prepared to say just now were in vain, he replied a little wolflessly, "Your Majesty, you know, the French have always been hospitable, let alone a distinguished guest like you!" Whatever time you wish, we will prepare it - and, whether I am in the Foreign Office or not, I will do everything in my power to make your trip to France enjoyable - if you do not dislike it. ”

"Such a handsome and lovely young man, who would dislike it?" The queen was still smiling, "All right, then we'll settle it!" I'm here to entertain you once, and you're going to entertain us once in France in the future......"

Then she turned to look at the prince again, "Albert, we can say that you can no longer think about those official things, and you must honestly accompany me to visit Paris and Versailles!" ”

"Let's talk about that later, it's still early anyway, my dear." The prince shrugged his shoulders slightly, and did not give a warm response. "Besides, Mr. Trevier is busy, and we can't afford to bother people with such things."

"Hey, be happy!" Seeing that her husband was still so strict, the queen couldn't help but sigh, and then gently patted her husband's shoulder, "You see that Charles is so polite, you still have to put on this appearance, it is really dissatisfying......"

"It's okay, His Royal Highness is also very busy, and we are very grateful to have taken the time to receive us." Charles quickly interjected.

"It's not been a day or two for him, it's always like this." The queen glanced at her husband with a complaining look.

Then, she looked back at Charles, "Forget it, let's not talk about this kind of disappointment, let's continue with the topic just now?" Charles, I've always wanted to go to France, but because there was some chaos in France before, so I couldn't make a formal invitation, but fortunately, Monsieur Bonaparte has finally restored peace to France, and I think it won't be long before I can make it...... I'm looking forward to it. ”

France was unstable before, and now Monsieur Bonaparte has finally restored France to peace......

Was this an unintentional remark, or did the Queen directly imply that she, and indeed the British government, were happy to accept the fait accompli of Louis Bonaparte's coup d'état in France, and even to his further actions to strangle the republic, and rebuild the empire?

From the Queen's smiling face, Charles couldn't see any signs, as if she was really just talking casually.

"My dear, you are right, Monsieur Bonaparte is indeed doing everything in his power to maintain order in France." The prince whispered at this time, "But I think he still needs a certain amount of time to stabilize the country, let's go over now, isn't it causing chaos for others?" ”

Then, he glanced at Charles again, "Monsieur Bonaparte, and you, you still have work to do, don't you?" ”

Oh, I see.

Charles: That's kind of a sight.

For this couple, the queen is responsible for closing the distance in the wind and rain and making a good impression on herself, while the prince is responsible for discussing the strict issue with herself, playing the role of the unkind.

I just don't know, the queen's almost innocent expression is from the heart, but a deliberate performance?

I guess that's the way it is...... With such a caring husband here, why should she bother with so many things?

However, he also understands that the queen is not as unsophisticated as she seems, on the contrary, she is much more shrewd and absolutely needs to be taken seriously.

"In order to maintain order in the country, the president has been working hard to maintain order, and I ...... As one of his assistants, he is also thinking about this issue all the time. Charles was silent for a moment, then replied with a careful word, "In the same way, to maintain order in France is to preserve order in Europe—we have stopped the frenzy of chaos at the source of France, and we have allowed an era of prosperity to arise from France." ”

"I completely agree with you." The queen nodded absently. "By the way, it's not early, let's go get something to eat first, shall we? I've already had someone prepare dinner. ”

"Of course, Your Majesty." Charles bowed again. "I'm glad to be entertained by you."

"We have always been generous with our friendly guests...... replied the prince pointedly. (To be continued......)
