“The Louvre Hotel, the best hotel in Paris!” Jerome Bonaparte introduced the Louvre Hotel to Prince Albert, and then invited Prince Albert and others to enter the hotel.

When Jérôme Bonaparte and his wife Victoria entered the lobby of the hotel together, Emile Perel, the shareholder of Societe Generale and the behind-the-scenes boss of the Luxembourg Hotel, and all the staff of the hotel stood in two straight rows towards the French Empire. The monarch bows and salutes with the monarch of the Kingdom of Great Britain.

“This is Mr. Emile Perel, the manager of the entire hotel!

“Jérôme Bonaparte warmly introduced M. Emile Perel to Albert and Victoria.

“Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness!” Emile Perel bowed slightly to Prince Albert and Queen Victoria again.

“Mr. Emile, I have long admired the name!” Prince Albert extended his hand and said to him with a smile.

“Your Highness, you are overrated!” Emile Perel stretched out his hand with a flattered expression and held Prince Albert tightly.

“How could it be! I’ve already heard of Mr. Emile Perel’s name!” Prince Albert then said to Emile Perel: “The Industrial Bank you and your brother created took only a short time. In more than five years, it has become one of the several giant banks in France! I am afraid that I will never be able to achieve this ability!”

“His Royal Highness, it is the so-called specialization in art!” Emile Perel humbly said to Prince Albert: “My brother and I were only able to get to this point by relying on government policies and temporary luck. !

But you and Her Majesty the Queen are the monarchs who make policies, and the monarchs who do not make policies, where are we now! ”

Prince Albert smiled, quietly touting Emile Perel’s praise.

Queen Victoria, who was standing beside Prince Albert, also smiled and said softly, “You French bankers are really good at talking!”

“Your Majesty, the essence of a banker’s job is not to deal with customers and meet their needs! If we lose even the most basic communication, then our bank may not wait until the next day and there is a risk of collapse!” Emile Perel still humbly responded to Queen Victoria.

At this moment, Jerome Bonaparte interrupted the mutual praise, “Okay! Everyone, stop touting each other! It’s almost time for dinner!”

Emile Perel hurriedly took the Victoria couple and Jerome Bonaparte to a baroque restaurant on the third floor of the Louvre Hotel.

Entering the restaurant, Jérôme Bonaparte and the Victoria couple sat at the round dining table under the arrangement of Emile Perel.

“Jerome, let Edward sit there!” Prince Albert said to Jerome Bonaparte with a serious expression.

“Albert, you can’t educate children like this!” Jerome Bonaparte responded to Prince Albert, “and Edward is fifteen years old, and he is already half a grown-up! Many rural areas When his child was his age, he was almost married!”

“But I don’t see the slightest trace of an adult in his words and actions! He is always so frivolous…” Prince Albert couldn’t help but replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Hearing that in the eyes of outsiders, his father, Albert, turned out to be a merciless Albert Edward. He felt an unprecedented grievance. He also wanted to be the pride of his father and mother, and he also wanted to study hard. , but he found that he was not the material for reading at all.

Even if I study hard, I still can’t compare to my sister.

And his father and mother always compared his sister to him, which really made him feel very uncomfortable.

“Stop!” Jerome Bonaparte forcibly interrupted Prince Albert’s speech, and then said to Prince Albert: “Albert, in addition to making them rebellious, your educational method It is also easy to make oneself feel uncomfortable. Prince Albert in history died of a cold after he went to Cambridge to talk to his son.

I still say what I said before, we have to admit that sometimes a certain talent is really needed!

Children only need to do things that are not out of order, and that’s it!

Take myself as an example, I don’t expect my son to surpass myself at all.

I just hope he can live happily ever after!

So don’t put too much pressure on him! ”

After speaking, Jerome Bonaparte waved to Albert Edward, “Come here! You don’t need to be afraid of your father!”

Albert Edward came to him at the beckoning of Jerome Bonaparte. He lowered his head and dared not look at his father.

“Sit next to me!” Jerome Bonaparte patted the seat beside him and said to Albert Edward.

Albert Edward slowly sat beside Jerome Bonaparte. This was the first time he had a warm feeling.

“It’s still unnecessary!” Prince Albert shook his head and refused, “I don’t want to cause you too much trouble!”

“Albert, aren’t we friends!” Jerome Bonaparte asked Albert.

“Of course a friend!” Prince Albert replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

“If you are a friend, then there is no trouble!” Jerome Bonaparte then responded to Prince Albert.

“Okay then!” Prince Albert nodded, and he turned his eyes to his wife Victoria, “Victoria, do you have a particular place to go!”

After thinking for a moment, Victoria said that she wanted to go to the Invalides in Paris, the Palace of Versailles…

“Marriage?” Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a moment, “I remember Victoria’s youngest daughter, who is not seven years older than our son!”

“Who says no!” replied the Queen Augusta to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Have you promised them?” Jerome Bonaparte asked Augusta again.

Augusta shook his head and said: “No! I said at the time, wait until the child grows up to think about this!”
