Chapter 798 Visit Württemberg

As night fell, the atmosphere of the welcome banquet in Karlsruhe Palace gradually reached its peak. A salute placed in the square outside the palace began to fire under the order of the adjutant of the Prince Regent.

The bronze-colored gun barrels fired colorful fireworks, forming fleeting light curtains in the sky, attracting residents living near Karlsruhe Red to watch from the windowsill.

In Karlsruhe Palace, a grand ball is going on.

The nobles and celebrities who attended this banquet danced one after another under the leadership of Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta, and the dance did not stop until late at night.

Then, under the leadership of the director of the Karlsruhe Palace, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta lived in a bedroom in the Karlsruhe Palace.

“If your Majesty needs anything, you can notify me at any time!” The palace steward politely responded to Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta.

“Thank you very much!” Jerome Bonaparte smiled and nodded.

After the head of the royal family left, Jerome Bonaparte looked at the entire bedroom.

Baroque-style decoration and crystal chandeliers hanging overhead showcase the dignity and luxury of the ancient royal family.

Compared with this bedroom, Jerome Bonaparte’s bedroom at the Tuinlery Palace is particularly “bourgeois atmosphere” (the popular point is the atmosphere of the nouveau riche).

“Tsk tsk tsk!” Jerome Bonaparte couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, “It is worthy of being a family of former electors, and its background is really different from that of a small family like us!”

“Small family! Your Majesty, when did you become so humble!” Queen Augusta said to Jerome Bonaparte with an interesting smile on her face.

“I have always been very humble!” Jerome Bonaparte responded solemnly.

“Oh? Why didn’t I know?” Queen Augusta’s words contained a hint of provocation.

“Augusta, you should be good at discovering your husband’s strengths! Instead of learning from someone, staring at my weaknesses every day!” Jerome Bonaparte continued to respond to Augusta in a serious manner, while contemplating himself sister Mathilde.

Anyone who asked Mathilde to point out his shortcomings as long as he met him.

Jerome Bonaparte believed that this was any monarch in the world who said that he was humbly accepting remonstrance, but in his heart he wished to tear the corpse into pieces.

After all, monarchs also like to listen to flattery, not harsh speeches.

“It’s good!” Queen Augusta smiled, of course she knew the good qualities of Jerome Bonaparte, but she also liked the feeling of bickering with Jerome Bonaparte, “So far, I have not Discover what special strengths and merits your Majesty has!”

“Forget it! I won’t argue with you!” Jerome Bonaparte decisively changed the subject and started chatting with Queen Augusta about the value of everything in the bedroom.

The two chatted for more than an hour, and finally came to a rough estimate of the entire room should be around 100,000 francs. (only low not high)

“Tsk tsk, a room is already worth 100,000! The entire Karlsruhe Palace is worth at least 10 million francs!” Jerome Bonaparte touched his chin and said again with emotion, “No wonder, my uncle wanted to Dig three feet against Germany!

All of you are really rich landowners! ”

After Queen Augusta heard Jerome Bonaparte’s “vulgar words”, she gave Jerome Bonaparte a blank look and said angrily, “You think these things are saved so easily. Yet?

My uncle made us miserable back then! The family property (an exaggerated statement) that has worked hard for hundreds of years has been lost in one fell swoop! ”

“That can’t be helped!” Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and replied to Queen Augusta: “Augusta, have you heard a word!”

“What?” Queen Augusta asked curiously.

“My neighbors store grain, I store guns! My neighbors are my granary!” Jerome Bonaparte replied to Queen Augusta plausibly: “According to the situation in France at the time! If there is no foreign war, then wait for France The only way is to self-destruct.

Not to mention, at that time, you were not sharpening your knives under the leadership of the Austrian Empire, ready to kill us at any time.

It’s just that my uncle is much stronger than you! ”

“You’re right!” Queen Augusta nodded with empathy.

“Forget it! These are all things of the past!” Jerome Bonaparte ended the conversation with a wave of his hand, “It’s time for us to rest!”

Having said that, Jerome Bonaparte blew out the candles placed all over the bedroom in turn, and the room immediately fell into darkness and tranquility.

At noon the next day, under the **** of a team of uniformed royal cavalry, the carriage carrying Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta set off from Karlsruhe Palace, all the way south to the Another train station on the outskirts of Karlsruhe.

The train in this station will take Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta from Karlsruhe to Stuttgart, the capital of the Kingdom of Württemberg.

When the carriage was parked near the train station, a group of soldiers in dark blue uniforms appeared around the frame of Jerome Bonaparte.

“Your Majesty!” The adjutant respectfully opened the door for Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta.

“Thank you!

“Jérôme Bonaparte nodded slightly in response.

If Jerome Bonaparte guessed correctly, the troop in front of him should say that they had arrived in the vicinity last night to blockade, which means that they should have not slept all night.

“This is what we should do!” The adjutant replied humbly.

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of the adjutant, Jerome Bonaparte and his party arrived at the platform.

A steam train was parked quietly near the platform, ready to go.

“Your Majesty, this train will take you to Stuttgart safely!” the adjutant responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Say thank you to Frederick for me!” said Jerome Bonaparte softly to the adjutant, before getting on the train under the watchful eye of the adjutant.

The train issued a harsh whistle after Jerome Bonaparte got on the train, and the adjutant on the platform hurriedly ordered his soldiers to line up, and then shouted: “Salute!”

Jerome Bonaparte in the train immediately looked at the window on the side of the platform after hearing the adjutant’s call.

At this moment, the adjutant was standing upright and saluting the train, and the soldiers behind him also saluted the train in the same way as the adjutant.

Seeing this, Jerome Bonaparte also raised his hand and returned a salute to the soldiers outside the window.

The train started slowly and gradually disappeared into the distance.

…

Since the distance between Karlsruhe and Stuttgart is only 82 kilometers, the steam train arrived in Stuttgart, the capital of the Kingdom of Württemberg, after only about two hours.

The person in charge of greeting at the train station was none other than the Crown Prince of Württemberg, the elder brother of Empress Augusta, Karl Frederick Alexander and his wife Olga Nikolaevna , the two had met as early as Jerome Bonaparte celebrated the full moon for Frederick.

Therefore, the relationship between Jerome Bonaparte and them is not unfamiliar.

Queen Augusta, who just got off the train, took Olga Nikolaevna’s hand enthusiastically and said, “Sister-in-law, you are here!”

Jerome Bonaparte also said to Crown Prince Karl with a smile: “Brother, you are here!”

“Father specially asked me to come over to meet you!” Karl Alexander said with a sullen expression, “Get in the car!”

“it is good!”

Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta got into the carriage together with Karl Alexander. The carriage carrying Jerome Bonaparte left the train station and went to the Royal Palace in the center of Stuttgart.

Perhaps because of the perhaps close relationship between the Kingdom of Württemberg and the French Empire, unnecessary pomp is saved.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Stuttgart Palace, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta quickly got off the carriage and entered the palace.

“Sword Comes”

In the palace hall, Queen Augusta met her father William I and mother Paulina, who had been away for a long time. UU reading www.uukanshu. She excitedly ran to her mother and gave her a warm hug, “Mother, I’m back!”

“Augusta!” Paulina responded to Augusta by gently stroking Augusta’s hair, “Welcome back!”

“Yeah!” Augusta looked up at his mother and nodded.

Just when the mother and daughter were reminiscing about the old days, an untimely cough interrupted their mother and daughter’s warmth.

“Augusta!” William I’s majestic voice reached the ears of Queen Augusta and Paulina, “That’s how you treated your husband when you were at the Tuinlery Palace!

”

Augusta quickly let go of her mother Paulina, then shook her head and said to William I: “No! No, father!”

“Father-in-law, Augusta and I have a very good relationship!” Jerome Bonaparte also saw the opportunity to help, “Augusta just hasn’t seen his mother-in-law for too long, so he can’t wait to think about it. Throw it into my mother-in-law’s arms!”

“That’s right!” Augusta hurriedly nodded and explained to William I.

“Humph!” William I snorted coldly again, and then asked Jerome Bonaparte with a kind smile (whether he was tired, whether he needed a rest, etc.).

Jerome Bonaparte immediately said that he had made up for the state in Karlsruhe, and now he is in good shape.

William I nodded again, and then ordered the palace steward to prepare today’s dinner.

He then asked Jerome Bonaparte if he would like to go hunting with him on the outskirts of Stuttgart before the dinner began.

Jerome Bonaparte immediately agreed to the request of the old father-in-law.
