Chapter 800 family dinner
“Certainly the government established by Alexander!”
Queen Augusta answered Jerome Bonaparte as a matter of course.
“Then what about the wife of Queen Alexander II, the son of Tsar Alexander II, and the Queen Mother in the hands of Duke Golitsyn? What about the grand dukes of the Romanov family who live in St. Petersburg!” Gereau Mu Bonaparte asked with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
“This…” Queen Augusta pondered for a moment, unable to say a word for a long time.
“The current Russian Empire is nothing more than the fact that whichever side is strong and strong, which side is sacred!” Jerome Bonaparte gently patted the dust on his clothes and said to Queen Augusta, “Our purpose is to Maintain the balance between the two forces, so that they cannot decide the winner in a short period of time! This is in the interests of France and Württemberg!
Mother-in-law, she is still a little too emotional! ”
“You are not allowed to really speak of my mother!” Queen Augusta said angrily.
“Okay! I won’t say it!” Jerome Bonaparte stretched his hand to Queen Augusta’s shoulder and said earnestly: “Now, go to your mother-in-law and tell her that if we choose If she supports Alexander’s government, then she will receive news of the destruction of the Romanov family in a short time.
The reason why Golitsyn is willing to leave the Romanovs alone is to send a signal of respect for the monarchy through them!
If we choose to be one-sided, then there is only a dead end waiting for them! ”
“Yeah! Got it!” Queen Augusta nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
“That’s right! And my sister-in-law, please explain!” Jerome Bonaparte continued to exhort Queen Augusta.
After Queen Augusta left, Jerome Bonaparte returned to the living room where William I was.
“I’m back!” Looking at Jerome Bonaparte who was gradually approaching the sofa, William I showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
“Yeah!” Jerome Bonaparte nodded and sat down on the sofa again, and took a sip of the black tea that wasn’t completely cool.
“How is it? I’m right!” William I responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a hint of ridicule.
“Mother-in-law, she really embarrassed me!” Jerome Bonaparte put down the teacup and smiled bitterly.
“Women are like this, easy to be emotional!” William I said calmly.
“Fortunately, I have asked Augusta to return to my mother-in-law again and explained our difficulties to her!” Jerome Bonaparte let out a soft sigh and responded briskly: “I believe my mother-in-law , she will understand us!”
“Oh?” William I looked at Jerome Bonaparte curiously. “What did you say?”
“I just tell them the facts!” Jerome Bonaparte replied to William I, shrugging his shoulders.
“Yeah!” William I responded without looking into it.
The time soon reached 6:55, and the head of the royal family was about to invite William I and Jerome Bonaparte to the dining room.
William I and Jerome Bonaparte who were sitting on the sofa quickly got up and went to the dining room.
When Weng and his son-in-law arrived at the restaurant, there were only servants who were in charge of serving the meal.
The two ends of the dining table between Jerome Bonaparte and William I quietly waited for the arrival of the remaining members.
About 3 minutes later, Queen Augusta, Queen Paulina, Princess Olga Nikolaevna, and Karl Alexander entered the restaurant.
“Sit down!” William I, the host, put on the stance of the head of the family and ordered the “Lately” four people to take their seats.
Augusta sat next to Jerome Bonaparte, Queen Pauline sat next to William I, and Karl Alexander and Olga Nikolaevna sat at the dining table middle position.
After everyone was seated, the dinner officially started.
The servant in charge of serving Jerome Bonaparte and others quickly poured a glass of wine for everyone present, and then William I first said a bunch of toasts, and then emphasized that this was a family dinner, and finally raised the glass to invite the presence of of people drinking together.
Everyone present drank the red wine in the glass, and William I said again: “Jerome, since this is a family banquet, shouldn’t you also say a few words!”
Seeing that his father-in-law handed over the right to speak to him, Jerome Bonaparte cleared his throat and said briskly, “Since this is a family banquet, I don’t need to speak in such a refined manner.
I am very grateful to my father-in-law for your warm reception! At the same time, I am very grateful to my brother and sister-in-law for being able to meet me at the train station!
…The Kingdom of Württemberg is where Augusta and I were born and raised, so to speak our second home!
I hope that the Kingdom of Württemberg can become prosperous and strong under the leadership of my father-in-law and eldest brother, and I also hope that the French Empire I lead can cooperate more closely with the Kingdom of Württemberg! ”
As soon as Jerome Bonaparte’s voice fell, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he blamed himself: “Look at me! I just said it was a family banquet, why did it turn to another place!”
“I think you abducted well!” William I responded loudly: “There should have been closer cooperation between the Kingdom of Württemberg and the French Empire!
This is a great benefit to both of us! ”
After speaking, William I raised his glass to drink again.
After the second glass of wine, everyone present had their first bite.
And this first course was the sizzling venison made from the deer shot by Jerome Bonaparte in the forest.
“Let’s taste what Jerome’s prey tastes like!” said William I, as he gently cut off a piece of venison with a knife and chewed it.
After a while, a happy smile appeared on William I’s face.
Seeing this, Jerome Bonaparte also cut a piece of venison and chewed it gently.
“Jerome, Augusta, what are you planning to stay here for how long!” At this moment, Queen Paulina’s voice reached Jerome Bonaparte’s ear.
Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly swallowed the venison and replied, “Mother-in-law, Queen Augusta and I are going to leave for Munich tomorrow!”
“Why is it in such a hurry! You can’t stay for a while!” Queen Pauline asked Jerome Bonaparte in surprise.
“No!” Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and refused: “We still have to go to Vienna! At that time, we will go to Warsaw with Franz and the others to attend the coronation ceremony of Maximilian, so I dare not Too long on the road!”
“So that’s how it is!” Paulina showed a stunned look.
“Mother, I’m really sorry!” Queen Augusta also apologized to Queen Paulina, “We really can’t delay for too long, otherwise Franz and Sissi won’t be able to explain it!”
“It doesn’t matter!” Queen Paulina waved her hand and said to Augusta, “Actually, I’m very happy that you can come over here!”
Immediately afterwards, William I discussed various anecdotes about Jerome Bonaparte’s childhood in the Kingdom of Württemberg.
“I really didn’t expect that the kid who could only play pranks at the time became the emperor of a country!” William I sighed, and then said with blurred eyes: “Jerome, if my sister is still alive, she will definitely Proud of you!”
“My mother!” Jerome Bonaparte murmured to himself, and the memories of “childhood” also appeared in his mind.
Although this memory does not belong to him, he can clearly feel the mood of the original owner of the memory from this memory.
“Oh! that unfortunate sister of mine!” sighed again William I, who felt unworthy of his sister’s marriage to the Prince of Monfort.
If it wasn’t for his sister’s sake, he would never have given Jerome Bonaparte the title of Prince Montfort.
“Father-in-law, your topic is too sentimental! I think it’s time to change the topic properly!” Jerome Bonaparte, who saw that the atmosphere at the scene was gradually turning towards sadness, quickly replied to William I. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
“Forget it! Don’t talk about that!” William I decisively stopped the topic.
…
The family banquet lasted for nearly an hour. Perhaps because Jerome Bonaparte asked Queen Augusta to explain in advance, there was no topic about the Russian Empire in the entire banquet.
Jerome Bonaparte and the others finished the dinner happily, and then returned to their room to rest.
The next morning, Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta left the Stuttgart Palace again by carriage and headed to Stuttgart Railway Station.
When Jerome Bonaparte arrived at the railway station, a train to Munich, the capital of Bavaria, was ready. In addition, most of the railways in the Kingdom of Württemberg are state-owned railways, and the number of private railways is rare.
The Jérôme Bonaparte couple who got on the train said goodbye to Karl Alexander and his wife on the platform. The train set off again. After a journey of 5-6 hours, they arrived in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, in the afternoon.
King Maximilian II of Bavaria, who received the news, greeted Jerome Bonaparte with his wife. On the way to the palace, Maximilian II asked his father Ludwig I where he was. The current situation in France.
Jerome Bonaparte told Maximilian II that Ludwig I had a good life in France.
After receiving Jerome Bonaparte’s reply, Maximilian II breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Jerome Bonaparte how long he would live in Munich.
Jerome Bonaparte told Maximilian II that he would go to Vienna tomorrow with Augusta.
