Queen Mother Anne frowned, she could not understand the meaning of Bishop Mazarin, this Austrian princess is not in fact a politically sensitive person, but she is better than tolerance, patience, for example, the Bishop of Mazarin in front of her, was once a disciple and political heir of Bishop Richelieu, and in the early days of Louis XIII, the Austrian Anne was not less beaten by the then Queen Mother Marie de' Medici and her ally Richelieu, and when Louis XIII died, people thought that she would use her status as the mother of the king to suppress Mazarin fiercely, and even put him in prison.

But Anne did not do this, not only did not, she did not even follow the orders of Louis XIII to set up a parliament to take charge of state affairs, but regent herself, with her brother Gaston as the governor of the kingdom, and appointed Bishop Mazaran as prime minister to keep this vast empire running, so there have been rumors that Queen Mother Anne has an affair with the Prime Minister, Bishop Mazaran - they all say that Bishop Mazaran is the "ruler" of France and Queen Anne.

Only the Queen Mother and the Bishop knew that this was pure nonsense, and that there was absolutely no harmony between the two of them, and that they could only get along for the sake of France and the King.

Bishop Mazarin, in spite of all his troubles, had to settle down, so that Queen Mother Anne knew that the young king had nothing to worry about him, and in fact, it was strange that there was nothing to worry about, after all, he was only a ten-year-old child—a child, especially a boy, whether a king or a beggar, would always do something strange to make adults laugh at him—but Louis's sensitivity to power could not help but surprise Mr. Bishop.

But when he learned the details, he changed his mind, it was not a child's whims, Louis's mind was obviously more complex and profound than he thought, and more ruthless than his peers, which the Bishop blamed on the insecurity caused by the rebellion of the Slingers and the atrocities of the dark creatures—only then he could not help but pay more attention to his king in his busy schedule, and unexpectedly, those who came into contact with the king said that he was a good majesty of grace and kindness, humility, justice, and high moral character.

Saint-Germain-en-Laye was once inhabited by many French kings, it was originally a monastery built by Robert II in the 11th century, and after the abbey gradually expanded into a city, Louis IX built a palace here, and Charles V erected a new residence on the ruins of this palace. Both Henry IV and Louis XIII had renovated the castle-like palace and city, so the people here were not the poor hillbillies, and it was not a small favor to gain their approval.

And they could not even afford a small favor now, and although Bishop Mazarin was invincible at the negotiating table (he signed the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, which won Verdun, Metz, and Alsace for France), finance was not his specialty.

In the case of helplessly dismissing many court attendants, and even pawning the queen mother's jewelry and clothes, the young king was still able to maintain the prestige of a ruler and won the love of the people of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, which is really a thing worthy of emotion and praise, so today Bishop Mazaran unconsciously sighed.

"But it's a good thing, isn't it?" said Queen Mother Anne, "Louis, not my little princess Philip, or His Royal Highness the Duke of Gaston, or the chief prince (referring to the Prince of Condé, a side of the Bourbons), what do we have to worry about?"

"That's what you're saying. Bishop Mazaran said, but was not relieved.

But soon, he was no longer entangled in the matter, because there were more and more important matters waiting for him to deal with, but in the evening, His Royal Highness Philip was reprimanded, because he praised His Royal Highness Philip for his intelligence and diligence, which was not what the Queen Mother wanted to see.

His Royal Highness Philip's teacher was soon replaced, and the Queen Mother and her maids were more enthusiastic about dressing up their "little girls", and even the ministers complimented her on her natural beauty, elegance and amiability, and Louis wanted to take his brother on a hunting trip, but was rarely scolded by the Queen Mother - perhaps because he mentioned to the Queen Mother when to hold the "slingpants" ceremony for the Queen Mother for the Queen Mother.

Louis had to take Marie Mancini on a hunting trip, and of course he had many loyal retinues around him, led by the procurator Nicolas Fouquet, a man with a keen sense of smell and skill, and the rebellion of the Fronde, and the king and the queen mother, and the bishop of Mazarin, who had to abandon Paris and live in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, saw it as a great opportunity, and he not only brought some reliable officials, but also raised a considerable amount of money from the accompanying merchants for the daily expenses of the queen mother and the king.

Such a man was of course to be rewarded, but now both the Bishop and the Queen Mother were in a shy bag, so the king gave the Monsieur Fouquet the honour of hunting with him, and allowed him to keep the gunpowder bag for himself throughout the hunt.

Mr. Fouquet was flattered by this honor, especially when he heard that he was the first minister to receive such an honor, and for this purpose he offered the king a red velvet coat worth five hundred livres, decorated with rows of silver buttons and lined with dark brown weasel skin.

As she left the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Marie, who was travelling with her, saw the king on horseback gesture to a gatekeeper, but the face was very unfamiliar, "Who is that?" she asked curiously.

"It was Jean Baptiste Colbert," said Louis, "that my horse broke its leg and neck when I met the werewolf, and they found a suitable replacement from Colbert, who was willing to dedicate his horse to his king, so the Bishop gave him the qualification of a chariot merchant, and now he is guarding the door for me with my guards." ”

When Fouquet heard this, he was astonished at the king's approachability, and the gentleman Kirbert did not seem to be very accustomed to his clothes and sword, and seemed to have been a gentleman or a merchant, and he forgot about this fellow at once—and he was only a lucky man, he thought to himself, and refocused his attention on the king.

Along the way, they met many people, peasants, soldiers, or priests, who saluted the king, who humbly took off his hat and pressed it to his chest in return, but in this way, the Bourbon royal family was not as bad as he thought it was in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
