"My dear brother, you're back!"

Hear Mathilde. Bonaparte's mouth came with a strange tone of yin and yang, Jérôme. Bonaparte had a helpless expression on his face.

Of course, he understood that his sister was unhappy that he did not take the initiative to visit. After all, it was he who was going to get married, not Mathilde. The woman (Württemberg) has already been delivered to the doorstep, and she is not willing to meet her for the first time, which is really unreasonable.

"I'm so sorry!" In order to prevent his sister from continuing to "sneer" at him, Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately relented and apologized: "I was discussing some financial matters with Minister Magne......

Jérôme. Once again, Bonaparte pulled Maneje out as a shield. In this way, the delay in Invernia's crying is well explained.

Although his sister often mocks herself verbally (Jérôme. Bonaparte was used to it), but when it came to the stability of the empire, she was more concerned than anyone else.

In Jérôme. During Bonaparte's presidency and reign, Mathilde was in charge of the affairs of the Tuileries and the Elysée.

This includes but is not limited to holding literary salons, donating to welfare hospitals, and preparing for charity galas.

The Bonaparte family was able to have such a good reputation in Paris and even in the whole of France, and Mathilde took part of the credit.

Sure enough, in Mathilde heard Jérôme. After Bonaparte consulted with Chancellor of the Exchequer, Magne, he naturally thought of the recent issuance of bonds by the Ministry of Finance, and his expression changed from frivolous to serious: "What is the problem with the finances?" Do you need my help? ”

"No need!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and responded: "At present, the momentum of short-term government bonds is good, and the Manie plan may issue a new round of government bonds in the near future!" ”

"It's okay!" Mathilde's face reappeared with a smile on her face, and she suddenly remembered that there was not only herself and her brother in the room, but the topic just now seemed to have nothing to do with what was going to be done today, so Mathilde hurriedly smiled playfully at the girl next to her: "I'm really sorry......"

"Nothing! Sister Mathilde! Princess Augusta of Württemberg smiled softly and turned her gaze to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also looked at his cousin Augusta.

At this time, Augusta was wearing a fluffy white court dress, her round and fair face was inlaid with a pair of light blue eyes that were as clear as water, which looked particularly charming, and the other facial features were also very dignified, and her black hair hung down like a waterfall, giving people the aura of a big sister next door on the whole, the only fly in the ointment was that her breasts were so mediocre, which led to her lack of some attractiveness.

(PS: The historical Augusta was married on June 12, 1851, here thanks to Jérôme. Bonaparte's coup d'état on the throne made the Kingdom of Württemberg decide to wait a little longer. ）

Compared with the slightly eccentric Vernia and the "scathing" Mathilde, Augusta obviously has more royal momentum.

Jérôme. Bonaparte could not in any way connect the slim princess in front of him with the snotty girl from more than ten years ago.

It's really a female college eighteen changes!

Jérôme. Bonaparte involuntarily sighed inwardly.

Subsequently, Mathilde. Bonaparte passionately for Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta were in pairs.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta also became acquainted.

"I'll leave first!" Seeing that there was no longer any obstacle to communication between the two, Mathilde. Bonaparte also got up and retired at the right time.

Only Jérôme was left in the room. Bonaparte and Augusta, the two looked at each other, and neither spoke.

After a while, Jérôme. Bonaparte decided to break the silence and spoke first: "Cousin, you have grown up! I remember the last time we met, you were so tall! ”

Saying, Jérôme. Bonaparte gestured to Augusta at the height she remembered.

"Huh?" Augusta also recalls his time with Jérôme. Bonaparte's memory, she replied with the same smile: "Your Majesty, that was almost twenty years ago!" ”

"Don't call me Your Majesty!" Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand and said to Augusta, "Let's do as we were called before!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty......" Augusta quickly changed his words: "Cousin! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta talked for a long time in the room, and the memories made them completely unfamiliar and intimate.

Standing outside the door, Matiel eavesdropped on the laughter coming from the room, and she also smiled with satisfaction on her face and said to herself, "Not bad! ”

Although Augusta's cousin is not too stunning (French and even European aesthetics are related to breasts), but in general, he has a cheerful and intelligent personality.

With her in charge of the affairs of the Tuileries court, Mathilde could be a little more at ease.

This younger brother of mine is good at everything, but he doesn't care about the ball and the connection between the nobles.

Rather than with the traditional aristocracy, his younger brother preferred to connect with the nouveau riche (the industrial bourgeoisie, the bankers, and the military).

From time to time, they are invited to party at the Tuileries Palace, and even develop the rule of doing a small office a week and a big event every half a month.

If it weren't for his own help, the Bonaparte family would really have become the nouveau riche family in other people's mouths.

It's good now! With Augusta's side, Mathilde doesn't have to worry about the ball all the time.

Mathilde, whose thinking was still stuck in the aristocracy, did not know that the influence of the bourgeoisie could completely destroy the entire aristocracy, causing the aristocracy to lose its last cultural pure land.

In general, there are always two sides to everything. Looking at Jérôme on the bright side. Bonaparte's ostracism from some of the old aristocratic forces almost brought the Bonaparte family back to the ranks of the nouveau riche, but he was also loved by the bourgeois nouveau riche and middle class, many of whom had become Bonapartist supporters.

In the 19th century, when the influence of the old aristocracy was still prevalent, there was only Jérôme who was able to put down his son and treat the bourgeois nouveau riche as equals. Bonaparte alone.

Even Britain, which claims to be a bourgeois monarchy, also reveals contempt for the nouveau riche.

Mathilde was very pleased with the "younger siblings" in the room, and she began to think about the wedding in her heart.

Jérôme in the room. Bonaparte and Augusta were still chatting hotly, and the two had been chatting for nearly two hours, and there seemed to be endless topics between them.

Augusta's ingenuity made Jérôme. Bonaparte decided that his cousin was indeed the most suitable person for empress.

Stunning appearance and perfect figure are not necessary conditions for the queen, and whether she has political wisdom is the most important criterion.

Especially in a country like France, Louis XVI's Queen of Cakes and the historical Empress Eugenie are clearly not a qualified queen/queen.

A stupid queen/queen will only hasten the demise of a regime.

If the original Queen of Cakes could have had the same political wisdom as his mother Teresa, then the Bourbon dynasty would not have been crushed by the Revolution.

In the same way, if Empress Eugenie had the same wisdom as Empress Josephine, the first wife of the Emperor Napoleon, the Second French Empire would not have been hastened.

Thinking of this, Jérôme. Bonaparte made up his mind and said to Augusta "affectionately": "Cousin, are you willing to be the most honorable presence in France!" You will witness the glory with me in the years to come! ”

"I ......" Princess Augusta naturally understood that the reason why she appeared here was to keep the Kingdom of Württemberg closely linked to France, and she replied firmly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to be your wife!" ”

Seeing that his cousin Augusta agreed to marry, Jérôme. Bonaparte grabbed Augusta's hand and put it to his mouth, and imprinted his own lip print.

"Welcome to France! Empress! ”

The door to the room slowly opened, and Jérôme. Bonaparte took Princess Augusta by the hand and walked out.

Mathilde, who was standing in the doorway, looked at Jérôme with satisfaction. Bonaparte.

"Thank you! Sister! "Jérôme. Bonaparte to Mathilde. Bonaparte expressed his gratitude.

Mathilde. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction and replied, "Yes! You're finally getting some maturity! ”

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte took Augusta with his father, Prince Montfort.

In Jérôme. At Bonaparte's request, the Prince of Montfort summoned all the members of the Bonaparte family who lived in Paris.

In the presence of many members of the Bonaparte family, Jérôme. Bonaparte publicly announced that Augusta was about to become Empress of the French Empire.

Except for Pierre. All the Bonapartist except Bonaparte smiled.

As for saying Pierre. The reason why Bonaparte was sullen is simple, in terms of the order of succession of the Bonaparte family.

Suppose Jérôme. Bonaparte died tragically, and Pierre. Bonaparte was the first heir and could be said to be the crown prince of the Bonaparte family.

The arrival of Princess Augusta made Pierre. Bonaparte is likely to miss out on the throne, so his attitude towards Augusta is understandable.

Of course, Pierre. Bonaparte did not know that Jérôme. Bonaparte was already considering adding his "brothers" and "nephews" to the Bonaparte family.

Once they join the Bonaparte family, they are undoubtedly the closest to the throne.

That is to say, Pierre. Bonaparte was also separated by three orders from the throne.

Plus he's older than Jérôme. Bonaparte was even bigger, which meant that he had no chance of becoming emperor at all.
