This appetizer is tomato and beef soup, since the introduction of potatoes, the French have been very accustomed to their king constantly introducing all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables from the colonies, tomato is the most popular one, because it can be used as a fruit, a vegetable, and a seasoning, this sweet and sour soup is the best appetizer, followed by another soup with a milder taste, mushroom cream pigeon soup, the pigeon only uses pigeon minced meat, which tastes sweet and refreshing.

When the two soups were finished and the plates were removed, the servants walked back and forth like shuttles in silk threads, changing the dishes for the king and the guests, and bringing warm towels to wipe their fingers, the second course was the result of several meals in one—palm-sized pies, brioche bread and sausages, and a little honey preserves, and the third course was a rich lamb to which the chefs filled the lamb's belly with oranges. Lemons and olives, as well as potatoes, oranges and lemons can dispel the strange taste of mutton, and potatoes absorb the fat of mutton, and the taste is not inferior to that of mutton.

Then came the fried quail, the meat of which was marinated and filled with rosemary and parsley, just like the cumin in the lamb before, and these spices did not dominate, but served as a good auxiliary, and everyone looked at the king, and when he took the leg of a quail and chewed it, everyone did this— Little did Louis know that his whimsical whims led to the fact that for hundreds of years, from France to the entire Europa, quail would be eaten with their hands, and it was called orthodox, and when a tourist walked into a restaurant and ordered fried quail, the waiter would take away the utensils and serve warm handkerchiefs in due course—a tradition that some people have carefully studied and thought that this was the first time that the Sun King asserted his authority at Versailles......

But as an inexplicable tourist said on his online account: Maybe the Sun King at that time just thought it was easier to eat like this.

He was right, Louis XIV was a man of cleanliness, and many dishes should have used spoons and forks, but certainly not fried quail, which was too small, secondly fried and pickled as it was slippery, and finally the king had wiped his hands clean.

I must say what it means, probably Louis no longer has to suppress himself too much, he once meekly accepted the arrangement of the bishop and the queen mother, but also complained that the minister was too concerned about his privacy, and he moved forward step by step according to all his rights for his indulgence, and fried quail was probably the smallest of them— When he sat in his new palace, overlooking the nobles and nobles, and even the slightest movement would be speculated and imitated, of course he would not care about the way he enjoyed the quail—not to mention that it would be a great sin to let the charred and crispy quail sit for even a minute longer.

However, when he noticed that the crown prince and princess, as well as the lord of the county, were also carefully dealing with the quail, he tore open the quail for his own prince, princess, and lord with his own hands, and then ...... The little Duke of Colonna, the little Duke of Colonna, as a special guest, was at the top of the long table closest to the king, and as soon as he looked up, he could see the king, and the duke was even a little surprised when the attendant replaced a plate with a torn quail plate.

The people present tacitly knew this, although the little Duke of Cologna said that he was a courtier, but there were many people who knew his true identity, even if some people were not very clear, but look at the faces of the crown prince and the little Duke of Cologna, their ages were too close, even if one was black hair, the other was blonde, but there were still many similarities, and when the crown prince grew up, if he was like Louis and Philippe, his hair color gradually changed from light blonde to golden brown or tan brown, then probably no one doubted the kinship between them.

The crown prince was also looking at the little Duke of Cologna, when the duke got up to thank him, and before he could retract his gaze, their eyes made contact with each other, the complexity of which could not be described even by Molière or Gourneille, Luciano was slightly older than little Louis, ten years old this year, little Louis was nine years old, but Louis was only five years old when he ascended the throne, and ten-year-old children could begin to talk about marriage, and in four years they could become husbands and fathers, to say that they were as simple and innocent as their peers in later generations, it was unlikely, and the wonderful thing was that both Luciano and little Louis felt a trace of jealousy at the same time, but also had a sympathetic attitude towards each other, Luciano is jealous of the identity of little Louie, and little Louis is jealous of Louis's guilt towards Luciano, but on the contrary, Luciano pities little Louis for not being able to get his father's purest and complete love, and little Louis pities Luciano for never being able to reveal his true identity to the world.

But this fried quail will save a lot of trouble for the little Duke of Cologna, as an Italian, he is a foreigner in the French court, but now, even if he is not the illegitimate son of the king, the king's favor for him is overflowing, and the only person who can embarrass him in the future is the queen mother, but he is also the son of Louis, how can the queen mother embarrass him?

There were also people who secretly peeked at Queen Teresa's expression, and the queen was calm, not to mention France, which has the tradition of royal ladies, and any king is indispensable to lovers and illegitimate children, and Louis respected her enough, and that was enough—but the queen noticed that Madame Lavallière, who was accompanying her in the last seat, seemed to be a little unable to swallow, and she couldn't help but soften her heart when she had lost a child before, and when the fish soup came later, Madame Lavallière had a lot of them.

Madame Lavallière knew that she should express her gratitude to the queen, and in the court, there was no shortage of royal ladies who jumped directly above the queen by virtue of the king's favor, but Louis hated that kind of person the most, and when it came to the king's love, the only one who really had it was the Duchess of Cologna who stayed in Calais, Marie Mancini. She knew that she could not show an ugly look at the king's first banquet in Versailles, but when she saw the little Duke of Cologna, her heart was bitter, and Marie Mancini did not live up to her name in the slightest, and she destroyed Madame de Lavallière's hopes with a single word, and the king was unwilling to let Madame Lavallière bear him real children, and although she did not hesitate to reward her, Madame de Lavallière could only say that even her people could not deceive the false words of the past— She and the king, no, her affection for the king is no longer a contract.

At this moment, she even had the most sinful thought that Mary and her children would disappear, but fortunately the thought was fleeting, and she had suppressed the evil thought after the cold cuts, that is, the vegetables, had been brought to the table—after the cold cuts, that is, the vegetables, had been brought to the table—fresh or pickled apples, grapes, oranges, and peaches, as well as cakes, marzipans, and the Queen's favorite chocolates.

The king took a chocolate wrapped in rum and gave it to the queen, who smiled back, and then the king, under the watchful eyes of the people, placed the other chocolates on a plate, and the attendant brought them to Madame Lavallière.

Madame de Vallière made a mistake at this time, she was not able to thank the king immediately, you can say that it is an act of arrogance, which is very common in the royal lady, but more people can see that Madame Lavallière is rude, presumably in the next few days there will be rumors in the court, the Duke of Orleans saw this and immediately stretched out his plate to the king like a joke, the king glanced at him, and put some peas on the plate, the Duke of Orleans immediately showed a stupid look, what he didn't like the most was vegetables. Even beans are the same.

This move came at a very timely time, and the people's attention was immediately diverted by the royal brother, who wrote down this interesting story in their hearts, and prepared to mention it later in the salon or at the banquet, so that they could boast to the people less obtrusively that they had been the king's guests, and that this was the first banquet at Versailles, so that there would be so many guests, and that they would want to dine with the king again, and the hope would not be so great.

Prince Conte watched this good play with great interest, this one may be more fascinating than the play arranged by the king after the banquet, and he was not at all worried about whether he would have the opportunity to dine with the king, although he was not as brave and good at fighting as his brother Prince Condé, but he had done two important tasks that the king had given him, and it was clear what he had done today, and when he retracted his gaze, the Duke of Motmar opposite him caught his attention, and this duke was also quite famous in the court, mainly because he was married to a woman who had no title, no surname, and no dowry, and deliberately used his exploits to ask the king for permission, but the Duchess of Motmar never appeared in the court, but the heir she gave birth to for the Duke of Motmar was already the best playmate of the Dauphin Louis - people said that the woman was a witch, and made the Duke faint with her beauty, and the Prince of Conte must say that he was also curious, but in view of the sacrifice that the Duke of Motmar had made for this lady, if he asked to meet her, the Duke of Motmar would have thrown a duel book in his face.

This is better than that, thought Prince Conte, who thought he was better at playing the flute or dancing than with a sword or a musket, and the third daughter that the lady had brought earlier, the second favor that the Duke of Mottemar had obtained from the king, had received a dowry after receiving the Duke of Motmar's surname, and the eldest daughter seemed to have become the wife of a marquis.

Prince Conte was strange about the expression of the Duke of Motmar, who had been looking at the king, but unlike the others, not admiration, not love, not fear, not longing—longing for the benefit of the king's power, but in another, more subtle ...... It's like the king has taken away something, but he can't speak.

Even Louis probably didn't expect that the Duke of Motmar was worried about the eldest daughter of that lady, that is, the eldest daughter of Varro Vesali, who is now the Marquise of Montespan, but this marriage was not out of love, or worldly pressure, in fact, the reason why this bold lady accepted this marriage was to go to the king's side, replace Madame Lavalier, and become the king's royal lady, Duke Motmar couldn't help but be dumbfounded- Yes, his wife had not diminished in color for more than ten years, and had become more beautiful and beautiful because of her pampering, and her daughter seemed to have inherited her beauty and charm, and the Marquis of Montespan, though he knew that the duke's daughter was not worthy of her name, succumbed to the hem of her skirt at the sight of her, and was willing to be her servant.

This time the king returned to Paris, if it were not for the fact that Madame de Montespan was already pot-bellied, and under the persuasion of the duke, she agreed to give birth to an heir for her husband first, and the date of birth was just a few days, and the duke and the marquis of Montespan would never allow her to travel hundreds of miles to Versailles, and she would not want the king to see her bloated appearance—otherwise the attention of the court today would definitely not be only on Madame Lavallière or the queen.

No one knew the Duke of Motmar's distress, and when Prince Conte went to watch an open-air play together, he had tried a few words, but how could the Duke let him find out so easily—he did not approve of Madame de Montespan's idea, although Madame de Montespan was not his own daughter, and the two did not spend much time together (all three daughters had grown up in the convent), but his wife loved her very much, and he did not want her to worry about her at all.

But he was not sure to convince Madame de Montespan, she had been a very opinionated and thoughtful child since she was a child, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the Duke of Motmar remembered the letter she had written to Varro Vesali, which he had read, although it was instigated by the Count of d'Artagnan, but that letter, without exaggeration, was to let Varro Vesalian die.

This is because the Duke of Motmar is only willing to admit them and give them a dowry, but he has never been able to love the house and Wu, and accept them from the heart, especially the eldest daughter.

——————

Louis didn't notice the Duke of Motmar's strange appearance, and said the same coldly, he didn't have any work to give to the Duke of Motemar recently, of course he wouldn't care too much about him, after the banquet, it was a tragicomedy between Molière and Gaurneille, performed in the open air, with a higher position than everyone else, with curtains on both sides and behind, Louis simply closed his eyes, and slept comfortably, and then there was a ball to be held, and after the ball there was a small banquet, after which he could put down his tired body and have a good rest。
