Her Royal Highness the princess directly avoided his gaze, which made Charles a little inexplicable, he had the impression that this princess was not such a person who did not understand etiquette, and how did he know that just dozens of minutes ago, this princess was still receiving the earnest teaching of Her Majesty Queen Carona, and he had not yet recovered from that subversive words, and he would naturally have some palpitations when he saw him all of a sudden. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, Charles is of course also an informed person, and since Her Royal Highness the princess has acted like this, he will of course also restrain his gaze and not let himself appear too enthusiastic.

After the speeches of the two emperors, the focus of the audience was on the Empress, although in essence the Austrian Emperor did not come for her birthday, but at least nominally, she was the protagonist of today's celebration.

"After I came here, I was very pleased to see that Her Majesty the Empress was so beloved, and that she had infected the French people with her humility and generosity, and that we Austrians were deeply moved......" It was still the Austrian Emperor who spoke diligently, and this young Emperor His Majesty, who had received a very complete aristocratic education since childhood, was able to speak so devotedly, even if it was just a compliment for the occasion, as if he was happy for Her Majesty Empress Carona from the bottom of his heart," I deeply hoped, Her Majesty the Queen will be able to continue to infect this great nation with her kindness in the days to come, and let the friendship between our two nations continue forever...... Happy birthday to Her Majesty! ”

"Happy birthday to Your Majesty!" Seeing that the Austrian Emperor had already begun, the people present shouted at the same time, and for a while, the hall was full of people and jubilant.

And in the midst of this jubilation, Her Majesty the Queen couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, and she was watched by everyone, nodded slightly to Franz Joseph, and then she turned her eyes and looked at everyone opposite.

"Today is like a dream, and it makes me a little overwhelmed, as if I have returned to the day when I just married His Majesty. I ask for your forgiveness for not being able to free myself from joy for a while, so I may be a little distracted. Her Majesty suddenly closed her eyes slightly, as if she was enjoying the moment, and as if she was reminiscing about her past life, "No...... Even when I was daydreaming as a child, I never imagined that such a grand day would await me today...... It was as if the whole world was cheering for me, and it was really unnerving, wondering if I deserved to be treated like this. Fortunately, I have the most powerful men in the world around me who are defending me and giving me everything I have now, and you, who are loyal to the Empire, who have graced me and celebrated my birthday, for all of this, I can only express my immense gratitude, I am truly grateful to God for giving me such glory......"

Her Majesty's speech was very appropriate, and she complimented everyone present without a trace, and even Her Majesty the Emperor could not help but be quite complacent when she heard it, and her tone was quite sincere, more heartfelt than His Majesty Franz-Joseph, who seemed to be speaking a cliché.

"For the first twenty years of my life, I lived in obscurity and lived an unremarkable life with my father, and I am very grateful to the Habsburg royal family for taking care of our family, so that our poor family could take refuge in the Austrian royal family and stay away from all kinds of sinister troubles, and I am grateful to His Majesty the Emperor for taking the tireless time to come to Paris and continue to take care of me." Her Majesty smiled again and looked at Her Majesty Franz-Joseph and Princess Elizabeth, "I also wish your Majesty my best wishes and heartfelt wishes for the prosperity and prosperity of Your Majesty's empire; I also wish His Majesty a happy marriage, and Her Royal Highness the Princess can grow old together and spend a happy life together. ”

Her Majesty's words once again ignited the atmosphere of the audience, and the people applauded and cheered, even Charles was nodding secretly, in such a scene, in the face of the emperors of other countries, Her Majesty the Queen did not have stage fright at all, and said everything to the point, not only to please everyone, but also to lose his identity.

It seems that after more than a year of practicing as a queen, this queen seems to be very familiar with her role, and she can say that kind of thing according to her identity with ease.

In contemplation, Charles couldn't help but look at Her Majesty the Empress again, she was wearing a white palace dress today, with a ribbon pinned to her chest, and her chestnut hair was carefully combed, and it was tied into a bun hanging down the back of her head, looking noble and awe-inspiring, and the charm of youth was not concealed, enough to be worthy of the title of Empress of the French Empire.

However, Charles vaguely felt in his heart that she who scolded and scolded him in front of him back then was more cute, but now it was too awe-inspiring.

"We will obey your orders, Your Majesty." Emperor Franz-Joseph still maintained his immensely warm and perfect smile and bowed his head slightly to the Empress, "Austria will be proud of your demeanor, and glad that it once accepted your family." ”

"So, let's celebrate, and I wish everyone could share in my joy." Her Majesty smiled similarly, and then looked at her husband.

She was the empress of France, and of course she did not want to be labeled as a "daughter of Austria", so after thanking the Habsburg emperor for her old grace, she immediately wanted to change the subject, so as not to be attacked by people with ulterior motives as "another Marie-Antoinette".

His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III reached out again, took Her Majesty the Empress, and walked with her to the throne, then he turned to look at the crowd, and then raised his right hand.

"Then, I invite you all to enjoy the joy of the day with us as a couple!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live the Empire!" Charles and the other Imperial ministers immediately raised their arms and shouted at the same time.

"Long live the Empire!" The cheers echoed through the hall, as if they could be transmitted to the heavens, and at this moment, the salute outside the palace also suddenly rang out, adding to the glory of the imperial dynasty and announcing the beginning of the revelry of the whole city.

In keeping with the royal and popular celebrations, Her Majesty's birthday celebrations coincide with a day off and a large number of performances and galas, and in the evening, fireworks are set off to bring the whole city to the scene.

The royal family and the government of the empire did not only hold the celebration in such a reckless manner, of course, just to make Her Majesty happy, but more importantly, to whitewash the peace, to show off the fact that the rule of the Bonaparte family had been consolidated, and to make every citizen intoxicated by this ostentatious display and appreciate the power of the empire.

After His Majesty the Emperor announced the start of the celebration, the people who had been standing solemnly and respectfully suddenly dispersed, and they gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing with each other, and the Emperor and Empress of the two countries were no longer as serious as just now, and also came to the crowd to enjoy today's grand event with the people.

Of course, it is impossible to be able to talk with several Majesties on the same page.

In addition to several princes and imperial dignitaries of the Bonaparte family, Charles and Charlotte naturally had this qualification.

The two of them were also dressed in ceremonial gowns today, with Charles wearing a black gown with a red ribbon and a cross of the Legion of Honor on his chest.

When he went to Austria the year before, he had been awarded a Grand Cross Leopold by His Majesty Franz Joseph, but after returning to China, he gave it directly to his sister as a gift on a whim, so there is no way to use it now, but no one will ask him about the whereabouts of the medal.

When they arrived in front of Her Majesty, Charles and Charlotte saluted Her Majesty at the same time, "Your Majesty, I wish you a happy birthday. ”

"Thanks, Charlotte." Her Majesty walked cordially up to Charlotte, and then reached out to hold her, "I'm really glad to see you so refreshed. ”

Before because of the birth of the second son of the turmoil to Charlotte hit a lot, once made her nervous, now after the efforts of her husband and family, as well as the emperor and the empress, the turmoil against her has begun to subside, the high society began to seek new conversations, and Charlotte herself because of the careful postpartum care and the confidence gained from the maintenance of her husband and family, regained her former radiance, she has given birth to two children and now has more of the charm of a young woman, under the backdrop of the palace skirt, The twin peaks on his chest grew taller and taller, and his long golden hair was dazzling.

"I can't put into words how grateful I am to you, Your Majesty." Charlotte looked at Her Majesty the Queen with emotion, "I am honored to be able to serve you, please tell us in the future, my husband and I will do our best to fulfill your wishes." ”

"I believe in your sincerity, but as for the other one...... Her Majesty laughed slightly mockingly, and then turned her gaze to Charles, "not necessarily. ”

"You can trust me, Your Majesty." Charles hurriedly followed suit, "I am your loyal servant, and I have been so before. ”

"I hope you're telling the truth, but ...... At least today, I should be grateful to you, and today I should be the focus of newspapers all over the world, after all, not everyone's birthday is celebrated by two emperors in person. Her Majesty still smiled, "I am more glad, sir, that you have done a decent good thing while Charlotte was suffering." ”

Charles knew what she was referring to, but in his opinion, he was not making any sacrifices, just doing his part.

"She is my wife, and I have an obligation to protect her, although I have not done enough, but I will do it after all, Your Majesty."

"I hope you'll remember it later." The Empress chuckled and walked away, "By the way, please entertain His Majesty the Emperor of Austria well, and don't let him down." ”

In order to express our gratitude to His Excellency Chancellor Tremville for facilitating his visit, and in recognition of Charles' ongoing efforts to maintain Franco-Austrian relations, the Emperor of Austria and his fiancée will visit him at his mansion tomorrow, which is a very rare event, and it is only natural that Her Majesty Empress Carona should advise him.

"I will let His Majesty the Emperor return with a full load, and the man he has seen is the most friendly French minister in Austria." Charles replied with his head held high.

"I hope so." Her Majesty smiled and nodded, and then, she raised her hands lightly and applauded.

At this time, she looked at Charles's gaze, and she had become a little more appreciative.

Then, she lowered her voice.

"I still don't know how you made this happen...... But it was really unexpected. There was a little more confusion in her words, and a trust that had never been seen before, "Although many people have told me that you are one of the most indispensable doers of the Empire, I now understand the meaning of those words. ”

Is this a form of co-optation? Charles asked in his heart.

I guess so. She was indeed courting me, although she was reluctant to say it because she was reserved, but the old Charles could certainly tell the difference.

In other words, after so many efforts, Her Majesty finally recognized the reality and regarded him as an ally on which he relied to maintain his authority.

How good it would have been for you to do this earlier, you have to delay it for so long for some boring obsessions.

In Charles's view, Her Majesty the Queen is a foreigner, who has just arrived in France, does not know many people, and is feared by other members of the royal family who covet the throne, so he is naturally in a vulnerable situation, and has a husband who is often involved in flowers.

Therefore, her position and foundation are very strong, and she is very much in need of support from among the ministers.

And the Shire are able to provide just that.

However, he was not for friendship, but to better maintain his position in the imperial court, and thus to maintain power.

Therefore, no matter from any point of view, the two people just take what they need and complement each other's advantages, and they should have been embarrassed and formed a party to use each other.

What is really strange is that Her Majesty Queen Kalona, in order to be angry, actually waited until now to say something to win over. Sometimes, women's tenacious hatred is really terrifying...... Charles couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But, of course, on the surface, he would never reveal anything out of the ordinary.

"I can do so much more for you, for the Empire." With a vague smile, Charles bowed down, "Please continue to trust us as a couple, we are willing to do everything to preserve your position and repay you for your favor to us, Your Majesty." ”
