The young Ludwig looked helplessly at the two brazen monarchs touting each other, and after a while, Jérôme. Bonaparte, on the pretext of not disturbing Ludwig's studies, left Ludwig's room with Maximilian II.

Walk slowly through the corridors of the royal palace in Jérôme. Bonaparte unconsciously remembered his unmasked brother and sister-in-law, and he hurriedly asked Maximilian II: "Maximilian, where are my brothers, Prince Eugène and Princess Auguste, buried!" ”

Maximilian II was stunned for a moment, and then told Jérôme . The graves of Bonaparte, Prince Eugène and Princess Auguste had been placed by him near the Palace of Leuchtenburg. Bonaparte could accompany Jérôme if he wished. Bonaparte went with him to pay his respects.

"Forget it!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Our Bonaparte family owes Eugène too much!" I don't want to disturb their souls at this time! ”

"Jérôme, you're wrong!" Maximilian II shook his head at Jérôme. Bonaparte replied: "Prince Eugène never felt that you were indebted to them when he was alive!" My aunt, Princess Auguste, too, thanked the Bonaparte family for giving her an excellent husband, even before she died! ”

Hearing the words of Maximilian II, Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression was slightly gloomy, he didn't expect that Prince Eugène and Princess Auguste were not jealous of the Bonaparte family.

"In that case, please lead the way!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Maximilian II with a serious face.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Maximilian II rode on horseback and galloped towards the outskirts of the city, escorted by an escort.

About half an hour later, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Maximilian II arrived in the area around the Loistenburg Palace.

Under the guidance of Maximilian II, Jérôme. Bonaparte found two small earthen bags in the dense forest about a kilometer from the Lojchitenburg Palace.

The former governor of Italy, the quasi-heir of the First Empire and the former eldest princess of the Kingdom of Bavaria are buried here, which is really a bit "unworthy".

"Who chose this place?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at the little dirt bag with a blank face and asked word by word.

"This is the place where Prince Eugène asked to be buried before he died! Four years ago, before her death, my aunt Auguste had also asked me to bury her with Prince Eugène! "Maximilian II to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained: "We would never have buried him in this place unless Prince Eugène had asked for it!" ”

"I see! Thank you so much! "Jérôme. Bonaparte, in a flat tone in response to Maximilian II, slowly walked up to the two little dirt bags, said nothing, but bowed to them, and then turned away.

The two rode back to the Munich Royal Palace

By the time the two arrived at the Munich Royal Palace, it was around 6:30 p.m.

There was less than half an hour left before the dinner began, and the two of them entered the banquet hall to prepare while the banquet had not yet started.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was seven o'clock in the afternoon.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Maximilian II first had a dinner with the nobles present, and when the dinner was over, the ball began.

Their Majesties and their wives became the leaders of the ball, and the crowd danced to the elegant melodies.

……

The banquet lasted until about 11 p.m. Bonaparte and Augusta were led by the palace servants into a bedroom in the palace.

Exhausted Jérôme. Bonaparte yawned and lay down on the large soft bed, and soon fell asleep.

Sleep in Jérôme. Empress Augusta, beside Bonaparte, looked at Jérôme, who was already asleep. Bonaparte, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then he blew out the candles on the bedside candlestick, and fell asleep in the darkness.

Early the next morning, under the escort of Maximilian II, Jérôme. Bonaparte embarked on a train to the border between the Kingdom of Bavaria and Austria, through which they would travel to the border area between Bavaria and Austria, and then change to a train to Austria to reach Vienna.

Jérôme before boarding the train. Bonaparte told Maximilian II that if he had time, he would definitely go to Paris, and that he would prepare a grand welcome for Maximilian II.

Maximilian II said that he would definitely visit Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"Don't forget to bring Ludwig with you!" Jérôme. Bonaparte once again "asked" a sentence.

"I won't forget it!" Maximilian II replied.

Trains in Jérôme. When Bonaparte ascended, he drove slowly southward, and then faster and faster, until he disappeared from sight.

Jérôme sitting in a separate carriage. Bonaparte, looking out the window, asked Mocal, "Mocal, when will this train arrive at the border?" ”

"Your Majesty, it will take about 2 to 3 hours!" Mokal replied immediately.

"How long does it take to get from the Austrian border to Vienna?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked again.

"It also takes 2 to 3 hours!" Mocal replied again.

"So that's almost 60 miles (240 km) from Munich to Vienna!" Jérôme. Bonaparte scratched his head and said to Mocal.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the distance from Munich to Vienna is only about 33 franca! (134 km)," Mokal hastened to explain, "but there is no direct train between Munich and Vienna, which is why this is the case!" ”

"Hey!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and sighed: "Unexpectedly, the Austrian Empire still did not forgive Bavaria for what it did at the beginning!" (Referring to the Napoleonic period, Bavaria suppressed the Austrian Empire to a certain extent with its back to France, and as a result, because of Napoleon's defeat, Bavaria was forced to spit out some vested interests.) ）”

"Your Majesty, although Bavaria and Austria are in-laws, they are still competitive within Germany!" Mocal to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained.

"I know this!"

……

After a long journey of almost 3 hours, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta finally arrived at the nearest train station in Bavaria to Austria.

Before they had even stepped out of the train station, they were invited by the local magistrate to take a ride in a carriage, who had received orders from Maximilian II to personally escort Jérôme. Bonaparte went to the border of Pao.

So, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Empress Augusta wasted nearly an hour in the carriage before they reached the border between Bavaria and the Austrian Empire.

This time they did not change carriages again, but entered the Austrian Empire directly in the carriage, and arrived at the Austrian railway station closest to the border, escorted by the Austrian Empire and the Bavarian army.

Jérôme getting off the carriage. Bonaparte simply stretched, breathed in the fresh air, and then hopped on the train to Vienna without stopping.

……

Three hours later, the train slowly pulled into the Vienna train station.

It was already around 4 p.m., and the sky in Vienna was still shining.

Jérôme walking down the train. Bonaparte was immediately influenced by the Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph welcomed with Empress Erie Baisha.

"Welcome to Vienna! My brother! "Franz. Joseph smiled with Jérôme. Bonaparte hugged each other.

"My brother! This journey has really made me feel physically and mentally exhausted! "Jérôme. Bonaparte in Franz. Joseph whispered in his ear.

Franz. Joseph's expression was slightly embarrassed, he understood that Jérôme. Bonaparte was complaining that there was no direct train between Munich and Vienna, and for now he could only respond evasively: "When you reach the Hofburg Palace, just take a rest!" I believe that the scenery of the Hofburg Palace will surely cure your fatigue! ”

"Then I'll see!" Jérôme. Bonaparte let go of Franz. Joseph said.

That's it, Jérôme. Mr. and Mrs. Bonaparte with Franz. Together, Joseph and his wife rode in a horse-drawn carriage to the Hofburg Palace.

On the way to the Hofburg Palace, Jérôme. Bonaparte was keenly aware of Queen Elizabeth...... That is, Princess Sissi, her face revealed a little sullen, which was not the same person as the Princess Sissi he had seen before!

Did the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law start so soon? Jérôme. Bonaparte's heart couldn't help but speculate secretly.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the whole carriage gradually became dull, Jerome. Bonaparte began to act as an active guide to the conversation.

He first asked Franz. Joseph inquired about the state of affairs in the Austrian Empire.

Franz. Joseph immediately replied that the Austrian Empire, with the help of France and the planning of the Prince of Metternich, was in full swing.

That's it, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Franz. Joseph chatted all the way and soon arrived near the Hofburg Palace.

The two monarchs who came down from the gates of the Hofburg Palace entered the Hofburg Palace by stepping on the steps lined with guards on both sides.

When Jérôme. Bonaparte and Franz. After the two Josephs entered the Hofburg Palace side by side, the long-awaited orchestra played the "Ode to the Emperor", the symbol of the national anthem of the Austrian Empire, at the behest of the palace steward.

At the same time, the two rows of celebrities and loyal ministers in the hall turned their eyes on the two monarchs at the gate.
