Versailles Wild Rose

"You will have a dedicated room for the birth, and there will be some royal dukes, princesses and princesses who will come to see you give birth, which is a royal rule."

Shocking why anyone would need to watch other people have babies

She widened her eyes and asked in panic, "Why?"

"That's the rule."

"That's so annoying" There will be so many strangers in the room, it's almost suffocating to think about it.

"Oh, they won't really be in the room, there will be a screen to block it, it seems to be. This is a kind of notarization, and the birth of a child with royal blood must be attended by members of the royal family."

Abigail thought about how Anna in Austria told d'Artagnan that the one who gave birth to only one child must be Philip who was taken away after birth, and then told the relatives onlookers that it was a stillbirth. It is commonplace, so no one mentioned it, only the queen gave birth to one child, Louis.

So it seems barely explainable.

Then I can't help but feel that D'Artagnan is too easy to fool, isn't this bullying honest people?

"I don't like too many people, I want to pick people I don't hate to be present, the princess can be present, Philip can also be present, others can call a few casually, don't be too many. I don't like too many people in the room .”

This is not a problem, she is not the queen after all, the queen really can't decide who can come and watch, she can only do it in full accordance with the royal family's regulations.

"You have to be here too, don't go anywhere when I'm about to give birth." She hugged him tightly and looked up at him with a pitiful, scared and worried expression.

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, I will be by your side."

She smiled, "Then I won't be afraid."

They walked slowly in the snow with one foot high and one foot low. Louis Lorraine followed with a few attendants not far away, a little worried that they would step on the hunting traps installed by farmers in nearby villages.This forest has all been bought by the royal family, and the villagers are forbidden to come and hunt small animals, but some people still ignore the ban.

Fortunately, after walking for a while, they felt that it was too cold, so they hurried back to the castle.

The king is a vigorous young man.

Loves to play and knows how to play. He is very good at billiards and can play many kinds of cards; he is good at marksmanship and can accurately shoot his prey from 20 meters away; All court dances, and ballet; can also play the guitar, can play a lot of tunes;

He is very good at equestrianism, and he likes riding horses very much; he also likes hunting very much, and he especially likes the feeling of galloping the world and controlling everything. Unfortunately, the knight-style wooden spear sprint duel is no longer popular in this era, otherwise he would definitely like it;

Literary literacy is also very good, let’s not talk about extensive reading, you should read all literary classics, of course, the focus is on politics; art literacy is also very high, the royal palace has collected many works of artists from past dynasties, such as paintings, prints, sculptures, sculptures, etc. Etc., everything, high level of appreciation.

The aesthetic taste is very high, the only shortcoming is that he is too straight, if you want him to discuss the difference of skirt style and color with her like Philip, don't count on it.However, only one person is enough to discuss beautiful little skirts together, and Louis just needs to be his cash machine.

The Versailles holiday was perfect, every day was a joy, Louis was cute as long as he didn't run amok, and Abigail wasn't mad at him for nothing.

After a week passed, Louis didn't want to go back, so he stayed for another week and returned to the Louvre at the end of the month.

On the last day at Versailles, at 10 o'clock in the morning, a count from a nearby castle came to see the king.

"No," Louis said angrily.

Abigail also said "yes to let him go to the Louvre"

Louis patted her buttocks gently, "What did you say?"

"Oh, didn't you say you couldn't see it?"

"I've changed my mind now, who is it?"

"One of the Gondy family, Comte de Penasson," Bontemps answered outside the door.

Mrs. Provence doesn't like there are always other people in the bedroom, and Bontang can only report back outside the door most of the time now.

"The people of the Gundy family, let's meet." Louis got out of bed, "Don't you want to buy the surrounding area? The Gundy family is the largest landowner in the vicinity."

"The Gundy family can be regarded as the royal family's cronies." She got out of bed.

"Yes." Louis stretched out his arms and asked the maid to dress him.

Veronica also comes in, dressing Abigail.

"Have you seen this Penason?"

"I seem to have seen it before." Louis looked her up and down, "Don't go down, just stay upstairs."

Hey, it's strange.

"Can't I see him?"

"He's very nice, but a different kind of man, not like me, not like Philip. A bit rough, but handsome. You might think he's nice, because he's different. You Will like someone who is different." Louis thought for a moment, "No, you can go down to meet him and let me see if he will fall in love with you."

who is this

"Then I won't go down. I don't think he will be more handsome than you."

Louis liked to hear that.

Although she said "not interested", Abigail quietly took the maid downstairs, pretending to pass by the living room, and hurriedly glanced at the Count de Penasson.

Penasson is indeed a different type of man from Louis-Philippe Claude. He is tall, with broad shoulders and a long coat to the knees, so it is hard to see whether his hips are narrow, but men's hips are small, and broad shoulders mostly appear to be narrow hips. If it is not an inverted triangle visually, it is likely that the buttocks are thick and the thighs are thick, and the whole person is a strong figure of a wrestler;

But he is extremely tall, taller than Louis, and should not be less than 1 meters, so he is burly and does not look bulky, just the kind of strong male figure that is very strong at first glance.

Looks really good too.

She pretended to be passing, and Louis sent Bontemps to invite her in.

"This is Madame de Provence. Madame, this is the Comte de Penasson."

Abigail stretched out his hand, and Earl Penasson gently held her hand and kissed the ring on her finger, "Hello, ma'am."

"Good day, count."

He is indeed a handsome man, aged between 30 and 35, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, sharp eyes, and a resolute expression. He is a man who is good at giving orders.Philip's face is too soft and too thin, Louis is also slender in appearance and body, Claude is also thin, Reinho's figure is the most suitable, and Count Penasson may be too strong.

The style of slender and beautiful appearance has always been popular in the French court, regardless of gender; older men are generally potbellied, bald and fat; Earl Penarson obviously does not conform to the aesthetics of the court, and his height and shape are very oppressive to others, even the king is not too Maybe he likes him, but if he doesn't hate him, he is regarded as a well-bred king.

"The earl just came back from Russia, there must be many fresh stories, I invite the earl to have lunch, you can come too."

Earl Penasson is also a very eloquent person, who can tell his own experience like an adventure story with ups and downs.

He stayed in the Russian court for more than a year, met a lot of nobles of Tsarist Russia, and went hunting in Siberia with some of them. He hunted two black bears, a female bear and a cub, and caught a litter of cubs. Bear, who gave one cub to a Russian princess, brought back two other cubs; brought back the bear skins of the mother bear and the cubs, and stuffed them.

"As soon as I got home, I heard that Your Majesty and Madam were on vacation in Versailles. I think Madam has everything, but she may have never seen a Siberian black bear, so if Madam is not afraid, you can see the little milk bear, they Not big, a bit bigger than a wolf, but eats a lot and grows fast."

Abigail thinks this guy really knows how to give gifts.She is deeply favored by the king. She has money, houses and land, and she has everything. What she pursues now is "choose the expensive ones instead of the right ones". She only wants things that others don't have. The Siberian cub is undoubtedly one of them. , she will definitely not refuse.

"What do black bears eat"

"Meat." Penasson said briefly, "any meat is fine, but it's best not to let it eat live poultry or animals. When it grows up, it is too big. If it knows that it can prey on its own, several adult men can't do it." Capture it alive."

“It will stink”

Penasson smiled, "It's a bit smelly, you need two handymen to take care of it."

Abigail asked, "Your Majesty, can I have a Siberian bear?"

"You don't have to be afraid." Louis also thought the count was a wonderful person.It is much better to give the lady a gift that she is sure she will not refuse than to give it directly to the king.

"That's great, Earl. We're going back to the Louvre in the afternoon. You send someone to send the bear to the Louvre directly."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Bangtang, let someone prepare a room for the little bear, and two servants will take care of it."

"Yes, ma'am." Bang Tang, who stood aside to serve His Majesty's meal, immediately agreed.

Abigail was proud, "No one has a Siberian bear. If anyone wants to fight against me in the future, I will let my bear bite her." She thinks she is so smart. If anyone dares to make her unhappy in the future, she will punish That guy is going to be a black bear caretaker, and in a few days those nobles will be crying and begging her to let her go.

Brushing the king's horses isn't a punishment or even a reward, but being a pet breeder isn't exactly a job.

The lunch was very pleasant, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After lunch, Penasson played cards with the king and his wife for an hour.

"Are you going to the Louvre?" Abigail asked.

"I will go to see His Majesty after a while."

"You go, I will see you. If you are not a nuisance, I will allow you to stay in the palace for a few days." Louis said. ,,
