After several months of renovation and reconstruction, the city of Paris was restored to its former state, and there was no trace of the war anymore.
The people of Paris have also regained their original spirits, their faces are full of confidence, and they are full of hope for the future.
Yes, who wouldn't be confident in witnessing the country's visible return to its former prosperity and its march towards prosperity step by step?
The supply of food is no longer limited, the prices of commodities in the market are no longer high, and the efficiency of the government is not the same as before, and even the petty rats in the city seem to be much less.
Under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon, the whole of France was rapidly developing and reviving, the defeated army and bandits were wiped out by the army, the potholed roads were rewidened, and the conservative and ruined cities began to be rebuilt...... Good news comes every day.
Recently, the hottest news in Paris is the upcoming ceremony in the little palace.
This is an engagement ceremony, and His Majesty the Emperor's adopted son, the valiant General Eugène, will be engaged to the new Duchess General Sophie!
With the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, they will hold a grand engagement ceremony in the Little Palace.
As we all know, His Majesty the Emperor currently has no heirs, only General Eugène has a righteous son, and General Sophie is one of the biggest heroes of the new dynasty, the hottest new noble, the combination of the two of them will be a strong stroke in the history of the new dynasty.
Of course, it also affects the hearts of the nobles of the whole city.
On the day of the ceremony.
In the small palace, flowers are spread on the floor, colorful flags are displayed, and the joy is endless, and the guests are flocking to the palace.
Although it is already winter, the lively scene here makes people feel like they are in the middle of summer, and everyone who is eligible to receive the invitation is dressed up and marching into the venue one after another, and no one wants to miss this grand banquet.
The hall of the banquet is lit by a fireplace, which makes it warm like spring, and the hall is dotted with flowers, which decorates the cold winter wax moon into a sea of flowers, and the musicians from the Philharmonic Palace continue to play cheerful and relaxing tunes, injecting a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere into the place.
Before the ceremony began, of course, everyone did not sit still, one by one, in groups, all chatting.
Of course, the most talked about is today's ceremony.
"Alas, this Marceau's family is really lucky, this marriage, the status is completely secure. ”
"Of course, their family had the most honor guards in the past, and it was the credit for rescuing His Majesty the Emperor, in fact, the strength was not strong, and it was not worthy of the status of a duke at all, but this time, it ......"
"Actually, I think it's quite a match, General Eugène is young and promising, and he is also handsome, and General Sophie is also a famous beauty, known as General Rose. Regardless of their age, appearance, identity and strength, they are all very compatible, why should they be so sour. ”
"Then everyone has to be optimistic, I see, it is still the Marceau's will bet, the previous bet on His Majesty the Emperor, this time it was just a bet on General Eugène. Everyone thinks, although His Majesty the Emperor is in the prime of life, he has never had an heir, and after a hundred years...... This Marceau's house has soared into the sky. ”
"But I heard that it was General Eugène who took the initiative to pursue General Sophie, and it seems that he began to pursue it from the time of the war. ”
"Hehe, if you don't like it, you will refuse it a long time ago, and you will hang it all the time, and now that the situation is stable, you will agree to others, isn't it a matter of course. ”
"It's a pity that my daughter doesn't have such beauty, otherwise ......"
"This is not just a matter of beauty, this strength is also very important, General Sophie is not an embroidered pillow, not only did he just break through the Grand Master level not long ago, but his swordsmanship is even more earth-shattering, not anyone can compare. ”
"Hey, I heard a big gossip!"
"What kind of gossip, tell me quickly! Don't sell it indiscriminately!"
"Hehe, I heard that General Sophie is not the only suitor of General Eugène, in addition to those miscellaneous who can't get on the stage, there is also a heavyweight!"
"Oh, who is it?"
"Hehe, that's His Majesty the Emperor's newly formed Acting Captain of the Musket Team, d'Artagnan!"
"Is that him?"
"Yes, although he is the remnant of the previous dynasty, his ability in this body should not be underestimated, it is said that he has broken through to the Venerable level, and he is one step away from the Divine Spear Martial Saint!"
"Yes, I have also heard some about this, it is said that in the previous dynasty, Nadagognan had some affairs with General Sophie, and it is said that he was jealous, and there were several duels. ”
"This Marceau's family is not simple, this future crown prince and the future spear martial saint are all played upside down by him. ”
"Where is the martial saint level so easy to break through, or the crown prince is real, and the chances are also high, if it were me, I would also choose the crown prince." ”
"But, I seem to have heard that this Sufi General seems to have a fiancé in the past, and that's what happened. ”
"I know this, that fiancé, or when she was in a small country town, but unfortunately that kid is not blessed, on the night when the revolutionary party escaped from the city of Paris, he was killed by the masters of the Holy See, otherwise, today's engagement ceremony would not have been possible. ”
"Oh, that's right, since General Sophie chose General Eugène, this captain of d'Artagnan, didn't he object?"
I listened to my brother-in-law in the secretariat, a few days ago, His Majesty the Emperor sent him out, as if he was going to suppress some bandits, and he couldn't come back in a short time anyway. When the time comes, the raw rice has been cooked and cooked. ”
"Oh, it's miserable, you nobles really know how to play. ”
......
In a luxurious room in the small palace, a group of maids are busy nervously.
The long brown hair was pulled up and carefully braided into braids and fastened with jewel-encrusted hairpins, the white skin was covered with a layer of lead powder and then a faint red cheek, the delicate lips were painted with bright red lip gloss, and the white gown was smoothed out with every wrinkle and embellished with bright red roses. Strips of exquisite jewelry are hung up, and bottles of precious perfume are splashed uncontrollably.
After most of the busy day, a beautiful girl with a glamorous light appeared in the full-length floor-to-ceiling mirror, the corners of her mouth raised, and she smiled and looked forward to it.
The door to the room slowly opened, and the girl walked out slowly, appearing in front of the long-awaited knight in costume.
"What, isn't it pretty?" the girl smiled and took her skirt around in a circle.
The girl's smile melted the knight's heart, destroying his reason and making him giggle vigorously: "Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking......"
"Then let's go, the guests should be in a hurry. The girl put her hand in the knight's hand.
But as soon as he took a few steps, a strong man in black armor ran over, and everyone knew that it was the girl's coachman and her loyal servant, so they got out of the way.
The strong man in black armor whispered a few words in the girl's ear with joy on his face.
"Oh, the good news comes after another. The girl's smile was even brighter, almost irresistible to mortals
