Chapter 153: Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary

"You're just a bunch of rice buckets! Forgive me for being so harsh, but I can't think of any euphemisms at the moment. Oh! What am I apologizing, you don't understand anyway! ”

Under the gaze of many young ladies and Lawrence, Crown Princess Mary was very broken and shouted angrily at the two servants in front of her, and her delicate face was already flushed.

In the face of Crown Princess Mary's reprimand, the two servants in front of him just held their hands on their abdomen, lowered their heads and listened silently, without saying a word from beginning to end, and even their faces did not have a trace of horror or guilt, but were full of indifferent expressions.

One of the servants even shook his legs slightly arrogantly, passing the time very boredly, completely ignoring the rebuke of His Royal Highness the Crown Princess.

"Huh? That's kind of weird..."

The strange behavior of these two servants naturally could not escape Lawrence's observation, and Lawrence also felt very strange about their behavior.

Judging from the words of Crown Princess Marie's reprimand, these two servants did not speak German at all, so why did they become the personal entourage of this Crown Princess, after all, it was not difficult to find a few German-speaking subordinates in the court of Versailles.

Moreover, Crown Princess Mary did not bring her own servants either. As a much-anticipated Austrian princess, of course she will not come to France alone, there are hundreds of maids waiting for her along the way, but today she is surrounded by two French maids who do not understand the language.

Even further, even if the two servants could not understand Mary's words, it was completely clear from her movements and expressions that the crown princess was extremely angry, but the two of them still looked like they had nothing to do with themselves.

Don't look at these two people are well-dressed and wearing silver wigs, but they are always just subordinates, and according to common sense, they will not and dare not be so arrogant in front of the crown princess.

"It's kind of interesting..."

Sensing the oddity, Lawrence focused entirely on Crown Princess Mary, and she was enough for the future queen to take Lawrence seriously.

And while Lawrence was observing, the ladies who were chatting and eating tea on the grass were also attracted by the movement made by the Crown Princess Mary, and they all turned their eyes to her, frowned and covered their mouths, and whispered:

"Which lady is this? It's really rude to not even discipline your own subordinates well. Didn't she have a home education? ”

"yes, and what she said, I don't understand it at all."

"It seems to be High German, but I don't understand what she's saying."

"German? It can't be the Austrian princess, oh... Look at her like this, there is no Parisian demeanor, it must be. ”

"Oh my God, I'm so worried about our future king."

......

Crown Princess Mary on the side also felt a moment of exhaustion after a loud scolding, and stared at the two servants viciously while gasping for breath.

Although she could not understand French, she quickly noticed the frowning gazes of the ladies and the criticism next to her, and realized that there was something wrong with her behavior.

"I'm sorry ladies, I'll take care of it."

Although she knew that they did not understand, Crown Princess Mary apologized to the ladies for lifting her skirts, and then beckoned to the two people in front of her:

"You two come with me to the side!"

However, the two men watched as Crown Princess Mary beckoned to them, but they still ignored them, standing in place like wooden figures, not moving.

Crown Princess Mary, who had been waving her hand, saw that the two of them had no reaction, and suddenly felt embarrassed like a funny clown, and immediately continued to shout and reprimand unbearably:

"If you can't understand with your ears, even your eyes are blind?!"

And the ladies on the grass saw that Crown Princess Mary began to shout again, and they shook their heads and sighed one after another, and complained to the people beside them:

"Oh my God, it's here again."

"I thought that today's weather was kind and Lang, and it was a good day to go out."

"yes, it's a disappointment."

"I wish some kind person could go up and stop her."

Chapter 153: Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary

...

Compared with the women's complaints and burials, Lawrence always sat on the ground silently observing Princess Mary and her subordinates, and after seeing that the two were indifferent to Princess Mary's beckoning, Lawrence probably had a guess.

"All right, ladies."

Lawrence stood up, straightened up his slightly wrinkled placket, bowed to the ladies, and smiled:

"I'll be happy to serve you, and I'll go up and talk to the princess."

Seeing this, a respectable old woman hurriedly smiled kindly, nodded at Lawrence, and said:

"Oh! It's great that you're Lord Bonaparte, and I don't know what we're going to do without you. ”

The rest of the ladies also smiled and nodded at Lawrence, and many of the unmarried girls couldn't help but blush when they looked at this handsome, young gentleman who came forward.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness, it's an honor to meet you here."

Lawrence stepped forward, saluted Crown Princess Mary, who was still angry, and said:

"I am Lawrence Bonaparte, knight of Florence, governor of the Republic of Corsica, at your service. @精华\/Shuge*First Update~~"

Crown Princess Mary, who was suddenly interrupted, was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to subconsciously say that she had something to do, but suddenly realized that Lawrence spoke High German, so she looked at Lawrence excitedly and said:

"Ah, I'm so glad to finally have someone who speaks German, you're Monsieur Bonaparte, right, great."

As for the two servants in front of her, who had been silently receiving reprimands with expressionless faces, they couldn't help frowning when they saw Lawrence step forward.

"Is there anything I can do for me?" Lawrence glanced at the two embarrassed servants and said to Crown Princess Mary with a smile.

Crown Princess Mary nodded again and again and said:

"Oh sure, I'm ashamed, I don't speak French, I hope you can help me ask these two damn guys where I got their luggage, and they both came here empty-handed, not even a picnic box or tea set!"

Lawrence nodded, turned his head to look at the two, and asked in French:

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess asked you where she got the things she brought with her on this trip."

There was obvious hesitation on the part of the two, and only after glancing at each other did one of them muster up the courage to say:

"We are sorry, Your Excellency Bonaparte, that it was our negligence that caused us to forget to take it."

Lawrence snorted coldly when he heard this, and confirmed his guess just now, so he did not rush to translate for Crown Princess Mary, but said in a deep voice:

"Please answer seriously, I don't believe that the servants of the court of Versailles would make such a mistake."

"This..."

The two swallowed their saliva, broke out a few drops of cold sweat, gritted their teeth, and replied:

"Your Excellency, this is indeed our negligence, but we were assigned by the Countess du Barry to His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and it seems that you should not hold us accountable."

Lawrence squinted his eyes and listened to the two of them accentuate the words "Countess du Barry", thinking that his guess was indeed correct, the one standing behind these two subordinates was the Countess du Barry, so they dared to be so disrespectful to Crown Princess Mary.

And their actions today are very likely to be instructed by Madame du Barry to deliberately make Crown Princess Mary make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

After all, in history, Marie Antoinette was quite at odds with Madame du Barry.

Marie Antoinette, who was born in the traditional Austrian court, naturally formed a relatively conservative mindset, so it was difficult for her to accept the almost *** free romantic style in Paris during the first time she came to France.

Especially for Madame du Barry, Crown Princess Marie is also extremely disgusted with her, thinking that this is just a *** who crawls to Versailles by constantly hooking up with men, and her *** life is even more unbearable.

Although the historical Louis XV also attached great importance to the feud between Crown Princess Marie and Madame du Barry, he was still inclined to defend Madame du Barry.

Even after Crown Princess Marie was angry and completely ignored Madame du Barry, Louis XV specially summoned the Austrian ambassador to France, hoping that the ambassador would come forward to persuade Madame. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 153: Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary

Crown Princess Leigh and Madame du Barry reconciled.

Despite Louis XV's efforts, the conflict between the two women was not alleviated, and finally after Louis XVI succeeded to the throne and Marie Antoinette became Queen of France, she directly banished Madame du Barry to the convent, ending the conflict between the two.

Although the current Crown Princess Marie has only been in France for more than a month, she must have seen Madame du Barry at the family gathering of the Bourbon royal family, and with the character of this pampered little princess, it is estimated that she has not concealed her disgust for Madame du Barry.

It is not surprising, then, that Madame du Barry used her power to transfer the retinue of Crown Princess Mary and put her own men, and then instructed them to disgrace the Crown Princess in front of the noble ladies.

Although Lawrence was not interested in women's court fights at all, neither Madame du Barry nor Crown Princess Marie had considerable influence on Louis XV.

On the one hand, Louis XV's own favorite mistress, and on the other hand, he was an important person in easing relations with Austria, and Louis XV would attach great importance to either side, which is why Lawrence took the initiative to offer courtesy to Crown Princess Marie.

After all, in the partisan struggle between the Duke of Choiseul and the Duke of Richelieu, the key point lies with Louis XV himself, so it is particularly important to win over Crown Princess Marie.

"Countess du Barry, is she?"

Lawrence sneered, raised his head to look down at the two of them, and said calmly:

"Then do you suppose that when His Majesty the King finds out about this, Madame du Barry will go out of her way to excuse you two subordinates?"

"Thisβ€”" The two men visibly struggled, but still said unrelentingly:

"His Majesty will not know such a trivial matter."

Lawrence glanced at the man who spoke, stared at him, and said:

"Lie to me, don't lie to yourself."

The two men immediately looked panicked, and under Lawrence's guidance, they also understood that if they did not follow Lawrence's request, the matter would eventually reach the king's ears.

And by that time, Madame du Barry's purpose of making a fool of Crown Princess Mary had been achieved anyway, and there was no need to risk disobedience to the king to intercede for the two of them.

Disobedience to Madame du Barry would result in a reprimand and a demotion at most, but if the king found out that they had been disrespectful to the crown princess, it would be enough to put them in prison and even guillotine.

"I... We understand, let's go and get His Royal Highness the Crown Princess..."

The two looked at each other again, gritted their teeth and bowed to Lawrence.

"Wait."

Lawrence suddenly stopped the two who were about to leave, and said with a chuckle:

"As the entourage of the crown princess, you don't even speak German, so let me teach you a few words. @精华\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~"

"It's... Teach me, Lord Bonaparte. The two hurriedly stopped and said stubbornly.

...

Crown Princess Mary, who was on the side, looked at Lawrence in confusion and whispered something to the two, but then saw the two servants suddenly turn to face her, and then bowed deeply and said in German:

"Your Highness... It's us... The sin deserves to offend you, we... This is for you... Go pick up your luggage. ”

After that, before Crown Princess Mary could react, the two quickly ran away.

Crown Princess Mary was stunned for a moment, stared at the big blue eyes in disbelief, looked at Lawrence with gratitude, and said:

"I can't believe how you did it, oh my God, it's like they're a different person."

"It's just a little trick." Lawrence just smiled and nodded.

Crown Princess Mary finally swept away the anger on her face, hooked the corners of her mouth and said:

"But anyway, you're doing a great favor, by the way, you just said you're a co... Governor of Corsica? Where is Corsica in Europe? ”

Lawrence was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this princess was indeed as playful and arrogant as recorded in history, and did not pay attention to her studies, even if she had a very good educational environment, she did not learn much, and not only did she not speak French at all. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 153: Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary

Even Corsica is located in a way that is not known.

Thinking of this, Lawrence had no choice but to shake his head with a wry smile and explain:

"It was an island west of Italy and southeast of France, where I was the governor, the ruler. @精华\/Shuge*First Update~~"

"Ah, you're a foreigner too."

Crown Princess Mary looked at Lawrence with some joy, and seemed to feel very kind to see the same visitor from another country in a strange land, and hurriedly asked curiously:

"Are you also visiting France for the first time, and what do you think of it?"

Lawrence shrugged and said:

"Everything is fine, of course some aspects are not very compatible with my tradition."

"Ah yes yes, I think so too." Crown Princess Mary said excitedly:

"A lot of people and things are very nice, it's just that some people are disgusting, I can't believe that people like that would be in Versailles. If you have the chance to go to Vienna, you know that there is no such person in the Hofburg Imperial Palace. ”

Lawrence listened patiently with a smile and, when Crown Princess Mary had finished speaking, added appropriately:

"I think you're talking about Madame Dubarry."

"Oh! I... You know her too? ”

Crown Princess Mary blinked, looked at Lawrence in surprise and said:

"I feel sick every time I see a large crowd nodding at her, I had no idea that France was such a country until I came to Paris, you know, she was simply one, one by one..."

Crown Princess Mary said excitedly, but at the end she was momentarily speechless, as if her origin and upbringing did not allow her to say the word, so Lawrence added understandingly:

β€œ***”

Crown Princess Mary paused for a moment, and couldn't help but cover her little mouth and lean back and snicker, and the silver bell-like laughter stopped after a long while, and she said to Lawrence, almost breathlessly:

"I'm glad you said that word for me."

"I'm happy to help you, too."

Lawrence nodded slightly, lowered his voice and said:

"Actually, there are many people in the court who are dissatisfied with her, I am counted as one, and the Duke of Choiseul is also counted as one."

"Ahh

Crown Princess Mary tilted her head to look at Lawrence's face, bit her lip lightly for a moment, and then said slowly:

"Then I think we have a lot to talk about."
