After all the phalanxes had been completed, Jérôme. Bonaparte leaned into Friedrich's ear and begged Friedrich. Ludwig was able to take each phalanx with him and inspect it.

Friedrich. Ludwig decisively agreed to Jérôme. Bonaparte made this insignificant request in Friedrich. Ludwig, Jérôme. Bonaparte inspected each phalanx with him on foot.

The generals in charge of commanding the phalanx were in sight of Friedrich. Ludwig and Jérôme. Immediately after Bonaparte's arrival, he saluted both of them.

Friedrich. Ludwig zealously addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte introduces the history of each phalanx, Jérôme. Bonaparte, after listening to his introduction, immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, and then enthusiastically shook hands with the generals.

The whole review lasted another hour and a half before it was completely over, when Friedrich . Ludwig and Jérôme. After Bonaparte had reviewed the last phalanx, Friedrich. Ludwig opened his mouth to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "Your Majesty, is it time for us to go to the palace of Karlsruhe!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte first looked up at the cloudless sky, then lowered his head to look at the elongated shadow.

It's around three to four o'clock, which is the hottest time of the day, and it's really not good to stay outside for a long time.

"Listen to you!" Jérôme. Bonaparte at Friedrich. Ludwig spoke.

Friedrich. Ludwig and Jérôme. Bonaparte and his two men turned on their horses under the gaze of Baden's subjects and soldiers, and Jérôme on horseback. Bonaparte waved around again.

Escorted by a large group of officers and soldiers, they made their way to the palace in Karlsruhe, where flower petals were thrown from both sides of the road to the middle of the road, blessings to the emperor and the regent, as well as to the heroic soldiers.

The two men on their horses soon arrived at the palace in Karlsruhe under the scorching sun.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Friedrich. Ludwig dismounted and handed the reins to the servants of the palace beside him.

"Please!" Friedrich. Ludwig extended his hand and invited Jérôme. Bonaparte entered the palace with him.

Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded slowly, with Friedrich. Ludwig entered the palace side by side.

Immediately after that, in Friedrich. Under the leadership of Ludwig, Jérôme. Bonaparte met the nominal ruler of the Duchy of Baden, namely Friedrich. Ludwig's elder brother, Ludwig II.

"Your Majesty Jérôme, this is my brother!" Friedrich. Ludwig pointed to the middle-aged man in the chair.

Judging by Ludwig II's appearance alone, Ludwig II himself does not seem to be in serious trouble.

When Ludwig II smiled stupidly and looked at Jérôme. Bonaparte, Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately realized that Ludwig II should have the same symptoms as Ferdinand I, the previous emperor of the Austrian Empire.

Both of them are mentally handicapped because they are close relatives.

However, due to the limitations of this era, the royal family did not understand the dangers of consanguineous marriage, which led to tragedies like Ludwig II and Ferdinand I.

"Hey!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed and walked slowly in front of Ludwig II, "My brother, you are fortunate to live in the royal family, but unfortunately you have contracted this strange disease!"

May you receive the mercy of the Lord and live happily through it in the rest of your life! ”

After that, Jérôme. Bonaparte put his hand in front of Ludwig II, who stared blankly at Jérôme. Bonaparte addressed Jérôme in a tone that did not fit what his age should have. Bonaparte asked, "Do you want to shake my hand?" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and whispered to Ludwig II, "Yes! After shaking hands, it means that the two of us are the best brothers! ”

"I like bro!" Ludwig II had a smile on his face.

Ludwig II held Jérôme with both hands. Bonaparte's right hand, Jérôme. Bonaparte also put his left hand on it.

Stand in Jérôme. Friedrich behind Bonaparte. Seeing this, Ludwig also had a smile on his face.

A few seconds later, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Ludwig II let go of each other's hands.

Jérôme. Bonaparte retreated to Friedrich. Where Ludwig was, he said to Ludwig II: "My brother, I'll go first!" I'll come back to see you next time! ”

"See you then!" Ludwig II rushed to Jerôme. Bonaparte waved his hand.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Friedrich. Ludwig turned and left the room where Ludwig II was and left the room later Friedrich. Ludwig to Jérôme. Bonaparte expressed his gratitude.

"It's nothing!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head at Friedrich. Ludwig replied, "How lucky it is for your brother to have a brother like you, and for the Duchy of Baden to have a regent like you!"

With his current state, it is impossible to handle state affairs normally! ”

"I'm just doing my part! Your Majesty! "Friedrich. Ludwig modestly said to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Everyone can do their part well, it's good enough!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Friedrich. Ludwig praised, "There are many people in this world who can't even do their part well!" ”

Friedrich. Ludwig smiled slightly, then asked Jérôme about it. How long was Bonaparte going to stay in the Duchy of Baden.

"Tomorrow Augusta and I will leave!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Friedrich. Ludwig replied.

"So fast!" Friedrich. Ludwig couldn't help but ask.

"Augusta and I were supposed to stop by this time! If you stay too long, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with Maximilian's coronation! "Jérôme. Bonaparte to Friedrich. Ludwig explained, and then asked, "By the way, have you received an invitation from Maximilian?" ”

Friedrich. Ludwig's face was slightly embarrassed, "Your Majesty, we have also received an invitation from Archduke Maximilian!" It's just that due to the fact that there have been too many miscellaneous things in the Duchy of Baden recently, I can't find time to participate at all!

Therefore, I am ready to send my men to Warsaw for the coronation! ”

"That's fine!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Friedrich. Ludwig relieved the siege and said: "Coronation is such a thing, as long as the heart is there!"

Whoever made Maximilian the throne was propped up by me and Franz! If I don't go, Maximilian will be unhappy! ”

"Your Majesty, you are the one who should be the most deserved!" Friedrich. Ludwig echoed the same sentiments.

"That's it! Don't talk about that! "Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head at Friedrich. Ludwig said, "Let's go and wait in the hall for a while, I'm sure they will come soon!" ”

"Okay!"

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Friedrich. As Ludwig entered the hall, Empress Augusta was talking to a group of German ladies in colorful court dresses.

Jérôme. Seeing this, Bonaparte did not rush over to interrupt their conversation, but spoke with Friedrich. Ludwig walked around the hall together.

Period Friedrich. Ludwig enthusiastically for Jérôme. Bonaparte introduced the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Baden, Jérôme. Bonaparte greeted each of the nobles with a smile and had a brief conversation with them.

After the applause was over, Friedrich. Ludwig spoke again, and he hoped that Jérôme would be able to do so. Emperor Bonaparte was also able to come to the conference hall to say a few words.

Jérôme, who is a little expert in manuscripts. Bonaparte was naturally not afraid of improvisation, since Friedrich . . . When Ludwig handed over the stage to him, he was obliged to make a good impression on the Baden nobles in the hall.

Bonaparte said with a solemn face that his visit to Baden with his wife was a surprise attack on a whim, and the Duchy of Baden and his subjects made him feel the goodwill of this country for his release, and he sincerely loved this country, and hoped that the Duchy of Baden would be able to move forward hand in hand with the French Empire in the future, so that the friendship between the two countries could go on forever......

In the midst of applause, the banquet officially began.

Originally stood solemnly in Jérôme. Bonaparte and Friedrich. The procession around Ludwig immediately dispersed, and they gathered in twos and threes to talk to each other.

If anyone is hungry, they can also pick up their meal at the "cafeteria" next door to the hall.

And Jérôme. Bonaparte and Friedrich. Ludwig no longer looked as solemn as he had just been, and Friedrich. Ludwig came to the crowd to communicate, and Jérôme. Bonaparte went to the restaurant next door to fill his stomach.
