"That's right! This is our unsuccessful son, Edward! ”

Albert responded to Jérôme Bonaparte with a helpless expression on his face, and then said to his son with a straight face: "Edward, why don't you salute Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte!" ”

When Edward VII heard Prince Albert's order, he hurried up to Jérôme Bonaparte and stumbled and said, "Your Majesty, it is an honor to meet you!" ”

"Edward, you don't need to be nervous!" Jérôme Bonaparte hurriedly comforted Albert Edward and said, "I am very good friends with your father and mother! You can consider me a friend, too! ”

After saying that, Jérôme Bonaparte stretched out his hand and shook Albert Edward as a sign of encouragement!

"Yes! Your Majesty! Albert Edward nodded excitedly, like a starchaser's face when he met a star, and his hands were shaking.

This made Jérôme Bonaparte doubt his own charm.

Do I really have that much charm?

Just when Jérôme Bonaparte was stunned, Albert's voice reached Jérôme Bonaparte's ears: "Alright! Come back, Edward! ”

"Yes!" Albert Edward's expression immediately changed from his previous excitement to loss.

Jérôme Bonaparte let go of Albert Edward's hand and patted him on the shoulder, and Albert Edward returned behind Albert.

"Makes you laugh!" Prince Albert said to Jérôme Bonaparte with a wry smile.

"Nothing!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and said to Albert, "I still like Edward's character!" ”

Prince Albert then introduced Jérôme Bonaparte to the remaining daughters (Princess Victoria, Princess Alice) and sons (Prince Alfred).

These men were nowhere near as enthusiastic about Jérôme Bonaparte as Albert Edward, but Jérôme Bonaparte found that Prince Albert couldn't help but show pride on his face when he introduced his remaining daughters/sons to Jérôme Bonaparte, especially when he introduced his eldest daughter, Princess Victoria, to the world.

And this expression and gaze from the time Prince Albert got off the train to the present, Jérôme Bonaparte has seen Prince Albert once project a similar expression and gaze on Albert Edward's body, as if Albert Edward's son was not his own.

This made Jérôme Bonaparte wonder what Albert Edward had done to anger Albert that caused him to be so unpopular.

Since Jérôme Bonaparte's previous life focused on the Victorian era and the First World War, he did not know much about Edward VII, the king caught between the First World War and the Victorian era.

Therefore, Jérôme Bonaparte knew even less about Albert Edward than Princess Victoria.

At the very least, Princess Victoria can still trust his son to be remembered by Jérôme Bonaparte.

Thinking of this, Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but look at Princess Victoria twice.

Whiskers smiled and was indeed her own, not bad!

Princess Victoria, who was standing behind Prince Albert, also noticed that Jérôme Bonaparte was looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart, and then twisted her head to the side in anger.

Seeing this, Jérôme Bonaparte also turned his gaze to Prince Albert in embarrassment.

At this time, Prince Albert did not notice the strangeness of Jérôme Bonaparte, and he smiled and felt sorry for the fact that he had "taken the whole family" to Paris without informing Jérôme Bonaparte!

"How so!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and replied to Prince Albert with sincerity, "I can't be happy that you can come with your children!" ”

He paused, turned his gaze to Albert Edward and the others, and continued: "Because these children will be a bridge between our two countries, I am really happy that you can bring the hope of peace to France!"

Jérôme Bonaparte went on to introduce Albert and Victoria to Friedrich, who was held in Augusta's arms.

"It's so cute!" Queen Victoria said with a loving expression on her face.

Empress Augusta took advantage of the situation to hug Friedrich in front of Queen Victoria, looking at the swaddling little life in front of her, Victoria couldn't help but want to hug it.

"Is that okay? Augusta! Queen Victoria asked Augusta in a slightly playful tone.

"Victoria!" Prince Albert couldn't help but remind.

"Absolutely!" Empress Augusta delivered Friedrich to Queen Victoria.

Victoria gently held Friedrich's hands and swayed back and forth, and couldn't help but sigh again: "How cute! ”

Jérôme Bonaparte also pulled Albert to introduce him to the general/marshal who welcomed them this time.

"Albert, let me introduce you!" Jérôme Bonaparte pointed at Pelissier and said, "This is Pelisier!" ”

"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty!" Pelissier straightened up and saluted them, then shouted in a sonorous voice.

"I know, the great heroes of the Crimean War!" Prince Albert shook hands with Marshal Pelisier and praised Marshal Pelisier with a smile.

"Your Highness, I'm not a hero!" Marshal Pelissier replied without humility or arrogance: "All I have done is to do what I have to do according to the established plan!"

All I have achieved in the small town of Crimea has relied on the trust of His Majesty and the cooperation of his soldiers! ”

"Being able to do these two things has surpassed the vast majority of generals!" Prince Albert said to Pelisier with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Since the death of Marshal Raglan, Britain could no longer find a worthy general.

[PS: In fact, Raglan is also a general who pulls his hips horizontally, but due to the rapid progress of the Crimean War, Raglan has died early before he can show the operation of eating. 】

"I am flattered by your compliments!" Marshal Perissier replied, still modestly.

After introducing Field Marshal Pellisier, Jérôme Bonaparte introduced Albert to General Vayan.

"Your Highness!" General Vayan replied in the same sonorous voice.

Albert, who didn't know General Wayan, also smiled slightly, and then said perfunctorily to General Wayan, "General Wayan, you are very good!" ”

Then Albert turned to Jérôme Bonaparte and proposed: "It's not too early, or we should set off!" ”

There was an embarrassed affection on Vajan's face, and in order to alleviate Vajan's embarrassment, Jérôme Bonaparte took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, it was already 11:15, and there were only about 45 minutes left before lunch.

"Let's go!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded, and then led Prince Albert and the others out of the train station and got into the carriage.

This time the carriage was assigned differently than the previous one, with Queen Augusta, Queen Victoria, and her daughter riding together in a carriage.

Jérôme Bonaparte rode in another carriage with Prince Albert and his two sons.

As the carriage drove along, Jérôme Bonaparte casually inquired about Prince Albert's two sons.

Albert first proudly told Jérôme Bonaparte that his youngest son, Prince Alfred, was an excellent and obedient child.

Then he told Albert Edward's situation with a helpless expression, and his eldest son, Albert Edward, was a child who did not like to study and was full of shortcomings.

Albert Edward could only keep his head down and quietly listen to his father Albert's criticism of him, not daring to say a word.

"I really don't know when he will be able to save me some snacks!" Prince Albert sighed, like all parents.

And Jérôme Bonaparte was relieved after Albert finished speaking: "I think Edward is quite good, sometimes learning this kind of thing really doesn't work hard to succeed!" For example, I am such a person! ”

Albert Edward, who was sitting opposite Jérôme Bonaparte, was struck by his modest speech.

"If he really wants to be like you, I don't have to worry about him!" Prince Albert sighed again.

"There are times when we can't transfer our stress to our children! This will make the child's body unbearable, we must learn to relax!! Jérôme Bonaparte continued to comfort Albert: "Besides, Britain's political system is so strong, Edward would not have a big problem if he did nothing. ”

"If you don't do anything, the existence of the royal family will be greatly reduced!" Prince Albert replied to Jérôme Bonaparte: "And the power of the royal family will be eroded little by little!" Until it completely becomes a mascot! ”

"That's not something we should be thinking about!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and said to Prince Albert: "There is a generational thing!" If that time comes, we can only choose to push the boat with the current! ”

"That's right!" Prince Albert simply didn't bother with anything, he nodded and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"That's it! Don't talk about these things, when are you going to visit the Century Expo! I'd like someone to get ready! Jérôme Bonaparte quickly changed the subject and asked Prince Albert.

"Ready? What is there to prepare! Prince Albert asked Jérôme Bonaparte, "Why don't we go to visit it once, and we have to use a large number of forces to block the whole venue!"

In that case, it's too much trouble! ”

"Of course not!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and said to Albert in a mocking tone, "Even if you want me to block, I don't want to block!" Do you know how many francs of financial damage a day of lockdown will cost me?

I mean, you don't have to dress up to get to the Expo, so no one will recognize you! ”

"That's right! Then tomorrow! ”
