Chapter 803 sullen elizabeth

“His Majesty Franz, Emperor of the Austrian Empire, and Her Majesty Yin Lisabai, the Empress are here!”

With the voice of the palace steward resounding throughout the hall of Schönbrunn Palace, the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph and Queen Yin Lisabai slowly embarked on the road where the red carpet was laid and marched towards the end of the red carpet. The nobles on both sides of the red carpet and Upon seeing this, the important ministers bowed their knees to Franz Joseph and his wife.

After Franz Joseph and his wife walked to the end of the red carpet, they quickly turned to face Jerome Bonaparte at the other end of the red carpet.

Immediately afterwards, the head of the royal family shouted again: “His Majesty Jerome, Emperor of the French Empire, His Majesty Augusta is here!”

As soon as the manager’s voice fell, the band immediately changed the tune from the Austrian Empire’s “Ode to the Emperor” to the “Ode to the Expedition” of the French Empire.

In the vigorous tune, Jerome Bonaparte took Queen Augusta’s hand and moved towards the direction of Jerome Bonaparte.

The surrounding important officials and nobles also curtseyed to them one after another. While all the guests bowed their heads and saluted, Jerome Bonaparte took a peek at the nobles and important officials standing on both sides of the red carpet.

Some of them had already dealt with Jerome Bonaparte (Count of Bauer, Prince Metternich), and some of them were meeting for the first time, but they had already heard about them (Marshal Radetzky, Albrecht). Special Admiral), and others Jerome Bonaparte did not know. (Prince Wendischgritz, Chancellor Bach)

It can be called a gathering of talents.

When Jerome Bonaparte arrived at the end of the red carpet to face Franz Joseph again, Franz Joseph showed a smile on his face again and shook hands with Jerome Bonaparte and responded, “Jerome, My brother! Welcome to the Austrian Empire!”

“I was honored to be invited by the Austrian Empire (in fact I didn’t receive it), and here I felt the long-lasting atmosphere of the ancient royal family! It is a different atmosphere from Paris, which I am really envious of! “Jérôme Bonaparte once again praised Habsburg in official words.

Jerome Bonaparte’s praise made the faces of those present unconsciously show a smile, only Queen Augusta knew that Jerome Bonaparte was connoting the corruption of Habsburg.

His husband has never looked down on the so-called ancient royal court life. He believes that those rules and regulations have no other positive effect except to make people dead.

So how could he possibly envy this kind of life.

“But the social activities of the Habsburgs are far inferior to those of Paris, I hope you will not be disappointed! I wish you a pleasant experience!” Franz Joseph replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

The older the royal family is, the more restricted their social activities are, resulting in the loss of social skills. On the contrary, emerging empires like the French Empire, without these restrictions, are more able to socialize at ease.

Jerome Bonaparte had only one requirement for a social banquet at the Tuinlery: dress appropriately.

Other than that, there are no other requirements at all.

“Actually, the social life in Paris is not as good as you think, and we are still very inadequate in some aspects!” Jerome Bonaparte paused for a moment, turned his eyes to Yin Lisabai, and said half-jokingly: ” At the very least, there has never been a lady with a unique temperament like Yin Lisabai in the court of the Tuin Leli Palace!”

Facing Jerome Bonaparte’s sudden compliment, Queen Yin Lisabai’s face was slightly overwhelmed, and he subconsciously glanced at Queen Augusta.

Standing beside Jerome Bonaparte, Queen Augusta seemed to be jealous because of Jerome Bonaparte’s words, and she also undermined Jerome Bonaparte’s words: “In the appreciation of women On the one hand, my husband has a unique eye!”

“It’s all thanks to having a dignified wife with me!” Jerome Bonaparte also praised Augusta.

Seeing Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta throwing dog food like no one else, Franz Joseph’s face was slightly embarrassed.

He himself had never experienced such a situation, and no one of the important ministers who had met him in the past dared to be like Jerome Bonaparte.

On the other hand, Yin Lisabai showed a hint of envy on her face. She hurriedly replied in place of Franz Joseph: “Thanks for your compliment, but I think the most important thing between husband and wife is to be able to understand and support each other!”

“You’re right!” Jerome Bonaparte nodded and praised Queen Yin Lisabeth, “You are more beautiful and wiser than before your marriage, Her Majesty the Queen!”

“I’m really flattered by your words!” Lisa Yin answered Jerome Bonaparte without being humble or arrogant.

Immediately afterwards, the couple Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph began to go to the main hall of Schönbrunn Palace.

Here, Jerome Bonaparte met Franz Joseph’s mother, Grand Duchess Sophie, and his father, Franz Karl.

“Welcome to Vienna!” Grand Duchess Sophie said to Jerome Bonaparte to Queen Augusta.

“Thank you for your hospitality! No matter how much time has passed, you are still so radiant!” Jerome Bonaparte once again praised the fifty-year-old Grand Duchess Sophie, and then turned to Archduke Franz Karl. : “You are still so wise!”

“Thank you for the compliment!” Grand Duchess Sophie replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Then Grand Princess Sophie and Grand Duke Franz Karl left, and Franz Joseph introduced Grand Duke Karl Ludwig of the Duchy of Lorigny to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Your Majesty, it is an honor to meet you!” Archduke Karl Ludwig responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a slightly dull expression.

Looking at this Carl Ludwig in front of him, Jerome Bonaparte had a hard time believing that this guy turned out to be the great-grandfather of the later Grand Duke Otto (the grandfather of Emperor Carl).

It seems that this kind of character is really acquired!

Jerome Bonaparte silently complained in his heart, then nodded and replied to Karl Ludwig: “I hope you can manage the Principality of Lorinia like your two brothers!”

Archduke Karl Ludwig nodded and left.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph went to various places in the hall to get to know the important ministers of the Austrian Empire.

Augusta and Queen Yin Lisabai were left in place. The two first found a corner table and sat down, and then had a conversation.

“Sister Augusta!” Queen Lisa Bai, who had left Franz Joseph, immediately called Queen Augusta “sister” affectionately.

“Yin Lisabai, what’s wrong?” Queen Augusta took the brandy on the table in her hand and asked with a sip.

“I…” Yin Lisabai paused for a while, then shook her head and said, “Nothing!”

Looking at Yin Lisabai’s expression, Queen Augusta immediately understood what she meant, she hurriedly moved the back chair to Yin Lisabai’s side and asked Yin Lisabai in a low voice, “Did Franz Joseph treat you coldly? ”

“No! No!” Yin Lisabai shook her head and responded to Queen Augusta, “He really loves me!”

“Then why are you so depressed!” Queen Augusta asked Yin Lisabai again, and then took Yin Lisabai’s hand and said with concern: “How can you live in the palace so depressed again, I’m really worried about your body !”

Immediately, Lisa Bai told Augusta that she was depressed because of Franz Joseph’s mother.

Since Grand Duchess Sophie had always been concerned that her son did not marry Princess Sissi’s sister, Princess Helena, Princess Gengen, she did not have a good face for Yin Lisabai.

In addition, Yin Lisabai’s own character is also not as “beautiful” (obedient) as his sister, so Yin Lisabai was even more suppressed by Grand Princess Sophie.

Now she is not only exposed to the taunts of the Empress Dowager Sophie, but even her only born daughter was named by the Empress Dowager Sophie without authorization and snatched from her side!

But Franz Joseph didn’t make any move about it. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

“Hey!” Queen Augusta also sighed, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is indeed a big problem, “By the way, have you asked Metternich for a solution!”

“I have found Metternich!” Queen Lisabeth responded to Augusta: “Metternich told me that as long as I can give birth to the crown prince, then my situation can be improved!

Before I gave birth to the crown prince, Prince Metternich didn’t dare to say anything! ”

“This Metternich, really!” Queen Augusta reprimanded Prince Metternich.

“Sister Augusta, how are you doing in France?” Queen Yin Lisabai asked Queen Augusta’s current situation again.

“Not bad too!” Queen Augusta said perfunctorily, she didn’t like to hit Yin Lisabai.

“I really envy you for having such a husband!” Yin Lisa responded to Augusta with envious eyes on her face.

“What’s there to envy!” Queen Augusta waved her hand, taking the opportunity to shake out the “mong material” of Jerome Bonaparte’s mistress and illegitimate child.

Yin Lisabai asked Augusta in surprise, “Since you know everything, why stop it?”

“Stop it?” Queen Augusta shook her head and said to Yin Lisabai: “How to stop it? The emperor has the supreme right, as long as he wants, we can’t stop it at all! Can I keep him by my side 24 hours a day? ?”

“That’s right! History is written by men, we women have to lead them and be forgotten!

If you are a little careless, you will be infamous for bringing disaster to the country and the people! “Yin Lisabai said with a sigh.
