In the king's bedchamber, a fat man sits against the head of the bed, and in the arms of this obese man in his thirties snuggles up two petite and delicate beauties.
"Your Majesty, come, eat a grape. The beauty in the black gauze skirt with the man's left arm peeled a crystal grape, and after eating the grapes that the beauty fed to his mouth, the man smiled and kissed the beauty on the cheek.
"Your Majesty, eat one cherry, too. A beautiful woman in a white gauze skirt leaning on the man's right arm handed a red cherry, and the fat man turned his head and swallowed the cherry in his mouth, and kissed the beauty on the cheek as well.
The big fat man who was sitting on the bed with more than 200 pounds was the current king of the Kingdom of France, Pavarot III, and the two beauties who were held in the arms of Pavarot III, the one who wore the black gauze skirt was her sister Alice, and the one who wore the white gauze skirt was her sister Lilith.
Pavarot III is now Chinese New Year's Eve and sixteen years old, and Pavarot III, who already has a queen and heirs, still has more than ten lovers in the palace, and now Alice and Lilith, the young and beautiful sisters, are very favored by King Pavarot III.
"Your Majesty, my sister and I went out to the palace a few days ago and saw a beautiful necklace of star diamonds in a jewelry store...... "Alice said delicately as she leaned into the arms of Pavarot III.
"Your Majesty, that necklace would look great if it stayed around my neck. Alice stroked the king's chest, "Since Alice has taken a fancy to you, then I will send someone to buy the necklace back." Pavarot III, who was holding Alice, said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, if my sister has a star diamond necklace, then I will ...... it too" Lilith on the other side also begged with the coquettish.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy two necklaces for both of you sisters to wear. Pavarot laughed, "Your Majesty, you are so nice. The two sisters, Alice and Lilith, kissed the king together and embraced the two beauties, and Pavarot III was playing happily in the large soft bed......
A few days later, Pavarot III sat in his study, "Your Majesty, these are the two star diamond necklaces you wanted. The squire placed a brocade box in front of His Majesty, and in the brocade box was two dazzling necklaces of stars and diamonds.
Star diamonds, unlike ordinary diamonds, star diamonds are gemstones mined from some rocks at the bottom of the endless sea, star diamonds have higher brightness and hardness than diamonds, and star diamonds are several times more expensive than ordinary diamonds in price.
The two star diamond necklaces bought by Pavarot III are made of several small star diamonds in series, and there is a giant diamond the size of a pigeon's egg in the center, and the price of a star diamond necklace like this one is definitely expensive.
Stretching out his stubby fingers, Pavarot III picked up a necklace of star diamonds from the brocade box and looked at it.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister has arrived. An old man in a black robe walked into the king's study, and Pavarot III hurriedly put the star diamond necklace in his hand into the brocade box, and the attendant officer on the side quickly closed the brocade box.
"Your Majesty. The black-robed old man came to Pavarot III's desk and bowed to the king who was sitting in his chair. "Oh, Lord Bernard, you...... Here it comes. Pavarot III looked at the black-robed old man standing in front of him with some embarrassment, Bernard, the prime minister of the Kingdom of France.
"Your Majesty, Lord Kula, Chancellor of the Exchequer, told your minister, Your Majesty, that you sent someone to take four thousand gold coins from the treasury the other day...... "Bernard said, looking at King Pavarot III, who was sitting in his chair.
"Yes...... That's the thing. Pavarot III whispered back, "I wonder where you spent the four thousand gold coins, Your Majesty?" Bernard asked, glancing at the brocade box on the table.
"Buy...... Bought ......," Pavarot III stammered, not knowing how to answer the black-robed old man in front of him.
"Your Majesty Pavarot. Bernard sighed, "The spending plan set by the minister for you is not more than five thousand gold coins per month, Your Majesty, you have already spent five thousand gold coins this month, and now you have spent another four thousand gold coins from the treasury...... Your Majesty, you keep rare beasts in captivity in the palace, recruit opera and dancing girls, and build palaces in the palace for those lovers, so how can the treasury of the Kingdom of Fran be enriched?"
"Lord Bernard, haven't I heard that the treasury has more than three million gold coins a year......? Which cost three million gold coins. Pavarot III spoke.
"Your Majesty. Prime Minister Bernard had an angry look on his face, "There are troops to provide in the kingdom, and the servants and guards in the palace are purchasing those necessary items to help the people solve the food shortage...... All of this needs to be taken out of the treasury, Your Majesty, do you want to spend all the money in the treasury alone?" Bernard stared at Pavarot III sitting in his chair with a serious expression.
"This ...... Lord Bernard, I can't ...... I took four thousand gold coins, and ......," Bernard whispered as he shrunk into his chair.
"Your Majesty, it's not the first time you've spent money lavishly, in order to satisfy those little lovers, do you know how much money you have to waste on them every year?"
Pavarot III sat in his chair and listened honestly to the teachings and admonitions of Prime Minister Bernard. Bernard is an old minister brought up by the former French king Pavarot II, Bernard has been the prime minister of the French Kingdom for 40 years, and enjoys a high reputation in the French Kingdom Bernard, and people praise this prime minister as the head of the "Three Heroes of France".
Pavarot III was a prodigal monarch who only knew how to have fun, and Pavarot III was afraid of the prime minister Bernard alone in the royal palace, and only the prime minister could control this king who was greedy for pleasure and did not do his job.
Prime Minister Bernard left after "educating" King Pavarot III in the study, sitting in the chair, Pavarot III slapped the table angrily, "Bernard is so rude, every time he reprimands me so harshly, am I a king, or is he a king?"
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is trusted by the people in the kingdom, and even the royal ministers and nobles have respect for Lord Bernard...... ", the attendant on the side, whispered.
", you say...... Bernard...... He won't take my throne. Pavarot asked with a worried expression, "Your Majesty, this shouldn't be." Squire shook his head.
"Your Majesty, Lord Bernard is known for his impartiality, loyalty, and diligence, and if he covets your throne, then the reputation he has accumulated over the decades will be ruined, and people will say that he made these efforts to climb to the throne of the king, and Lord Bernard will go from a famous and respected prime minister overnight to a sinister usurper, and I don't think Lord Bernard will do that, Lord Bernard cares more about his reputation than he desires power. said.
"Oh, that's good, that's good. After listening to the words of the chamberlain, Pavarot III patted his chest with relief.
