Chapter 819 Cardinal’s Invitation

“It’s not fair! Sister Augusta, I ask for a substitution!”

Elizabeth, who had lost ten games in a row, wanted to shout out to Queen Augusta to replace Jerome Bonaparte, the “pit opponent”.

“Yes! I also ask for a substitution!” Jerome Bonaparte also made a request for a substitution to Queen Augusta with a displeased face.

From Jerome Bonaparte’s point of view, Elizabeth’s card skills are not only bad, but she always likes to change her tactics to break the stage for her.

Of course, Elizabeth thought the same way.

Seeing that Jerome Bonaparte and Princess Sissi threatened to “strike” at the same time, Queen Augusta reluctantly glanced at Jerome Bonaparte and Elizabeth, and then turned to ask Countess Lafayette Said: “Mrs. Lafayette, do you want us to obey their wishes?”

After pondering for a while, Mrs. Lafayette replied to Queen Augusta, “Your Majesty, I think a certain degree of replacement should be done properly!”

“That’s good! I’ll be with Augusta, and you and Madame Lafayette!” Jerome Bonaparte said to Princess Sissi.

“Why!” Elizabeth obviously disagreed with Jerome Bonaparte’s suggestion, she immediately contradicted, “It should be said that I am with Sister Augusta, and you are with the Lafayette woman! ”

“Augusta and I are husband and wife, so we should be in the same group!” Jerome Bonaparte looked at the “daughter” who contradicted him without any hesitation.

“Sister Augusta and I are… yes…” Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, unable to say another word for a long time.

“Can’t find the right words!” Jerome Bonaparte smiled “smugly”, he really enjoyed the feeling of bullying the “weak”.

Queen Augusta, who felt that her husband was a bit excessive, immediately concluded for Elizabeth: “Elizabeth, we are not the best sisters!”

“That’s right! Best sister!” Elizabeth responded immediately, then got up and sat down on the sofa where Queen Augusta was, grabbed Queen Augusta’s arm and looked at Jerome Bonaparte , seems to be deliberately provocative.

After all, he is still a child who has not grown up!

Jerome Bonaparte couldn’t help but murmured something in his heart, but he seemed to have forgotten that his behavior just now also had a little bit of childlike compulsiveness.

“Okay! You are sitting here!” Queen Augusta gave Elizabeth a doting glance, and then touched Elizabeth’s head lightly with her hand and said to Jerome Bonaparte, “Your Majesty, let me Go with Elizabeth!”

“Okay!” Jerome Bonaparte replied to Queen Augusta, then turned to Countess Lafayette and said politely, “Madame, please join me!”

“It’s my honor, Your Majesty!” Countess Lafayette responded humbly to Jerome Bonaparte.

The second round officially started. Elisabeth, who had changed her teammates, showed a different attitude than when she formed a team with Jérôme Bonaparte. She began to help Augusta as much as she could.

On Jerome Bonaparte’s side, perhaps it was because Jerome Bonaparte and Madame Lafayette did not reach the point of mutual understanding, which caused them to lose consecutively even though they wanted to win. Several games.

Just when Jerome Bonaparte was about to lose another game completely, there was a knock on the door again, and Jerome Bonaparte broke free from the torment.

“I’ll open the door!”

Before Madame Lafayette got up to open the door, Jerome Bonaparte threw the cards in his hand on the table and went to open the door.

After opening the door, Jerome Bonaparte saw Franz Joseph standing at the door, and he immediately said to Franz Joseph with a warm smile on his face: “Franz, we are waiting And you!”

“Huh?” Franz Joseph was stunned for a few seconds, then asked, “You know I’m coming!”

“Of course!” Jerome Bonaparte replied to Franz Joseph in a determined tone, then turned to Franz Joseph and said, “Come in!”

Franz Joseph, who entered the room, saw the three people sitting on the sofa from a distance, and he slowly came to them.

The three sitting on the sofa immediately put down the cards in their hands, stood up and saluted Franz Joseph, “Your Majesty Franz!”

Franz Joseph smiled, then glanced at the entertainment activities going on on the table, “You guys are playing whist?”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Franz Joseph, Countess of Lafayette responded.

“Who is with whom!” Franz Joseph asked Countess Lafayette again.

“Me and Sister Augusta are in the group, Jerome and Madame Lafayette are in the group!” Elizabeth said to Franz Joseph first.

Franz Joseph’s expression showed a hint of displeasure, and Elizabeth’s words were really not in line with her status as a queen.

“Franz, do you want a game!” Jerome Bonaparte said to Franz Joseph, picking up the cards on the table.

“Okay!” Franz Joseph originally came to accompany Jerome Bonaparte for entertainment after finishing all the chores.

The addition of Franz Joseph made Countess Lafayette completely useless, and her position was “occupied” by Franz Joseph. She could only stand behind the sofa and watch quietly, waiting for a call at any time.

This time Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph are in a group, and Augusta and Elisabeth are in a group.

After the official start of the third round, Elizabeth, who was insane, had no intention of letting Jerome Bonaparte and the others go from the very beginning.

Even though Queen Augusta had the intention of letting Franz Joseph and Jerome Bonaparte win, Franz Joseph’s luck was really a repeat of his history.

After a few rounds, Jerome Bonaparte was helpless.

Seeing that Franz Joseph’s expression became more and more ugly, Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly stopped again.

“Now change teammates! I want to team up with Augusta!” Jerome Bonaparte said to Elizabeth.

“Sister Augusta!” Elizabeth looked at Queen Augusta with pitiful eyes.

“Elizabeth, I’m going with my husband!” Queen Augusta resolutely responded to Elizabeth.

Then Augusta sat with Jerome Bonaparte, and Franz Joseph with Elizabeth.

Jerome Bonaparte immediately sent a signal to Augusta with his eyes, and Augusta immediately understood it.

After the start of the fourth round, Elisabeth and Franz Joseph, who had only a little tacit understanding, won 5 wins and 3 losses with the continuous assists of Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta.

In the end, Jerome Bonaparte announced the end of the whist card, and Franz Joseph and Elizabeth had some unfinished meaning.

“Okay! It’s getting late, we should rest too!” Jerome Bonaparte, who had only won three hands, hurriedly said to the two of them, he was afraid that if he lost again, he would be unable to control himself. own anger.

“Well then! Good night!” Franz Joseph said goodbye to Jerome Bonaparte.

After saying goodbye to Franz Joseph and Queen Elizabeth, Jerome Bonaparte immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped the sweat lightly with his hand and said to Queen Augusta: “This last game is my favorite. Tired games!”

“I didn’t expect that you would have a day to check your cards!” Queen Augusta replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

“No way! Always give Franz Joseph a face!” Jerome Bonaparte said to Queen Augusta with a shrug, and then added: “However, I think Franz and the others are very quick. will find out!”

“That’s not your purpose!” Augusta also ridiculed Jerome Bonaparte!

“That’s right! That’s my purpose!” Jerome Bonaparte admitted frankly.

Just when Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta were discussing in their bedroom, Franz Joseph, who had come to recall it, also began to suspect that Jerome Bonaparte and his wife might have intentionally checked their cards.

Franz Joseph turned his head and asked Countess Lafayette, who had been standing behind the sofa, in a majestic tone.

“Your Majesty, Her Majesty Emperor Jerome and Her Majesty Queen Augusta really intend to let you win!” Madame Lafayette said to Franz Joseph. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

“Well, I see!” Franz Joseph couldn’t help but feel a little warmth in his heart.

In the case of the same monarch, Jerome Bonaparte also took into account his own face, which shows that he is indeed a friend who can be trusted. (In Franz Joseph’s concept there is no option of total trust, only trustworthy and untrustworthy!)

…

The next morning, Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta left the Hofburg in a carriage.

Elizabeth, who was wearing a black formal suit, came to the bedroom of Jerome Bonaparte and his wife to look for Jerome Bonaparte and his wife, but found that Jerome Bonaparte and his wife were not in the bedroom, she immediately asked Count Gneel.

Count Gneel told Elizabeth that Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta were invited by the entourage sent by Bishop Angelo Becciu to St. Tiffany’s Church in Vienna.

“Bishop Bechu?” Queen Elizabeth muttered to herself, “What does he want to do?”

“Maybe it’s because the French Empire is also a big Catholic country!” Count Gneel responded to Elizabeth in an unsatisfactory manner.

On the other hand, after Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta, who were escorted by Austrian cavalry, arrived at the cathedral, Bishop Angelo Becciu who was standing on the red carpet immediately stepped forward to greet them.

“Welcome to St. Tiffany’s Cathedral, Your Majesty!”
