Versailles Wild Rose

She can indeed let Athena enter the palace as a female servant, as she said to Louis, but why bother? Her energy is not used in this aspect. Being a maid is a humiliation to Athena, yes, but there is no need You have to put it by your side and get in the way.

She chose two earl's daughters, Norma, 15 years old, and Elisa, 18 years old, both of which are delicate and lovely in appearance.The application assessment item is playing cards, after all, this is a necessary skill for daily pastime.

The mutual understanding between Count Vivonne and Count Penarson ended at the first banquet.It is said that Victor was annoyed by Penasson's "ignorance", while Penasson thought that the young master of the Roshchova family was too arrogant.

Penasson resolutely rejected the engagement again.

So Athena's marriage was temporarily put on hold.

Abigail didn't force Louis to get rid of Athena as soon as possible, as long as Louis stopped being mean, she could pretend that Athena didn't exist.

Penason left Fontainebleau soon, probably because he was afraid that His Majesty would arrange a marriage for him casually.Before leaving, he came to see Mrs. Provence again.

"If you have time, you should go to Versailles for a longer period of time. The scenery in Versailles is very good. There are beautiful scenery worth admiring all year round. I think you will like it."

"I'll think about it." Abigail wondered what this might suggest.

Sure enough, Penasson looked very happy, "I grew up there, if you don't mind, I would like to be your guide."

"I guess there's nothing wrong with that."

"Do you like hunting?"

"My marksmanship isn't very good," she said matter-of-factly.Hunting is a man's sport, and few people would care whether she is interested in hunting, probably because hunting always involves blood, which is not suitable for gentle ladies.

"It doesn't matter, good or bad marksmanship doesn't affect the fun of hunting."

She smiled lightly.

"I look forward to the day when I can hunt with you."

"I think you will have this chance." She held out her hand.

Penazon kissed her ring lightly.

After Penasson left, two weeks later, the princess arrived.

Philip and the Chevalier of Lorraine also came to Fontainebleau.

The place where Philip lived last year is now the residence of Rosalina and the boys, so he and the princess live in the main hall, near the king's bedroom.

I haven't seen the children for almost two months, and Philip has to go and stay with the children for a long time every day.

"How do they grow so fast?" he marveled fussily.

Rosalina smiled at him.

"Soon? They are not yet 3 months old, they are still very young. It is said that the 100th day after birth is the most dangerous time for a child. There will be many diseases and you must be careful. Wait until they are over 3 years old, then it can be considered a little bit Take it easy." Abigail was very worried.

Philip quickly said, "Don't worry, I see that they are very healthy and will grow up safely."

Children who can grow up healthy and healthy in this era can be regarded as "chosen children".

Children are precious, but not so important.The high rate of infant mortality means that a mother has to keep giving birth to ensure enough offspring survive.It's brutal.

It is the most intuitive "natural selection" of human beings. Children whose genes are not healthy enough to resist are usually unable to survive.

She was worried. After all, every mother who had worked so hard to conceive for ten months hoped that her child would survive.She cares very much about her children, she has to be examined by the imperial doctor every week, and she often complains about the high requirements on environmental sanitation and the personal hygiene of maids, nannies and nanny.

The boys are very competitive. They are about 3 months old and eat a lot. One nanny per person can no longer meet their needs. Recently, a healthy young mother was recruited in Fontainebleau to be a nanny with extra meals. The salary was very generous.

A large amount of food usually means good health and good digestive function; eat and drink enough, someone changes diapers in time for 24 hours, and all needs are met. The boys seldom cry and have learned to laugh. They are two lovely babies.

Anna in Austria likes boys very much and often asks someone to take them there for 12 days.

The children's small faces and facial features have grown. Anna in Austria likes little Louis the most, and she insists that she looks like Louis when he was a child.

The big princess said that little Louis was like Philip when he was a child, and little Philip was more like Abigail, not like Louis or Philip.

Rosalina whispered to Abigail in private that little Philip is not like the king's brother, will he be like the Earl of Titusland, and it will become more obvious when the children grow up a few years later.This is not the same as Claude Jr. Claude Jr. and Nicholas are actually brothers, and they are very similar.

Abigail doesn't know whose cub it will be, so I can only say that it will be over if she insists that she looks like her when she was a child. Anyway, there is no evidence to say who the real father of little Philip may be like d'Artagnan.

Philip always thought that the two children were his cubs, and they were so beautiful all day long.his theory is

"Brother Wang and I are blood brothers. Doesn't Little Louis look like Brother Wang because he looks like me? My mother is so biased. Everything belongs to Brother Wang, so can't it be my child?" He muttered dissatisfied.

"I also think they are all your children, but if Her Majesty the Queen Mother says so, don't be too busy arguing that they are not Louis's, you know?"

"I understand, don't think I'm still a child." He glanced at her dissatisfied, "Tell me, what happened to Renio, I heard that Brother Wang caught him and put him in the Bastille Prison. Damn why is he like this?"

"Louis was very angry and beat Reinho hard." Abigail hugged little Philip, and carefully looked at the child's little face, trying to see who he looked like.

"He's really daring." He was very dissatisfied, "He always loves you more."

"He's stupid." Abigail rolled her eyes. "He should have left Paris long ago, and never came to Fontainebleau."

Philip shook his head, "He definitely doesn't care about others. Well, I also hope that someone can love me so desperately."

this loveless child

"Is the knight not loving you enough?"

He disliked his face, "He's just a child, always quarreling with me, I hate him a little bit now."

Ha, this is true. The love between the two children is not just quarreling all day long

"what about others"

"I don't know, who cares, you won't like him, right?" He looked at her suspiciously.

"He has too many problems, so I don't like him."

"Is it that you don't like Lance with more stinky problems?"

"do not like."

Philip handed little Louis to the maid, "I heard that he is still writing to you, why didn't Brother Wang drive him back to Spain?"

"Kings have bigger hearts than you think," she said solemnly.

"Hahahaha, what you said is so funny, it must not be my brother." Philip laughed exaggeratedly.

"Keep your voice down to scare Philip." She also handed little Philip to the maid, "Send the children to Mrs. Villars."

The maid left with the baby carrier.

Philip then snapped his fingers to signal the other maids to leave as well.

After Veronica went out, she closed the door behind her.

"Miss me?" The big boy had an expression of "you have to answer honestly".

"Yes. How was your time in Orleans?"

"That's it." He was lazily leaning on the sofa, leaning his head on her shoulder. "Gaston, that stinky old man, has emptied all his money. I may only get fiefdoms in the future, but not the money he has saved for so many years."

"Speaking of which, it is also the property he deserves, and his money should be left to his daughters."

"You're such a fool I get a lot of money, I'll give you money"

Oh, it's really the most simple and touching love story

"But you can't force him to hand over the money, can you force the Duchess to hand over the property in the future?"

He said reluctantly, "Of course you can't force it too hard, but there is always a way. At least she will hand over a few million."

"How much tax does France pay in a year"

"I don't know. Last year, the national treasury received about 3000 million livres."

"Only 3000 million." Abigail was stunned, too little. This is a country.

"That's because you don't know how the taxes are collected. Most nobles don't pay taxes."

Ah, got it, she always forgets this, it's the prerogative of the nobility.

"I now earn about 50 yuan a year, and I don't have to pay a penny of tax. You don't have to pay tax on your annuity." He unbuttoned her back, and untied the tie of her corset, "It seems A little bigger."

"If Louis sees it, you'll get whipped too."

"I heard that brother Wang beat him to death in front of you, is it true?"

"almost."

"Poor him."

Abigail sighs Reinho, the unlucky fellow

The Lorraine knight suddenly pushed the door in hastily, "Your Highness"

When Philip heard the door was pushed open, he was so frightened that he quickly took his hand away from her chest.

Abigail frowned dissatisfiedly, "Who allowed you to come in without notification and get out?"

The Knight of Lorraine hesitated for a moment, turned and went out, closed the door, and knocked on the door solemnly, "Madam, can I come in?"

"No," said Philip loudly.

"You go, but you have to teach him what etiquette is. He may inform Louis."

Philip was surprised, "Will he?"

"If he wants to monopolize you, he will do so. Louis will punish you. Don't always think that you are his brother and he can't punish you."

He hesitated, "Did he say how to punish me?"

"It's very simple. Hasn't your Santa Cruz been decorated? He ordered you to only stay in the castle of Santa Cruz, and you are not allowed to return to the palace. If you return to the palace, you will be locked up in the bedroom. Can you bear it?" "

His face darkened, probably thinking of the unpleasant experience of being under house arrest last spring.

"This is indeed something he will do. The damn knight should really take a good whipping."

"Whether he really loves you or not, or whether you really love him or not, you are His Highness, you cannot be swayed by him."

"how about you"

She smiled and kissed him on the lips, "If you love me, you have to listen to me. I'm definitely different from that little bastard Lorraine. I can give birth to you, but he can't."

Makes sense

"Did brother Wang get you pregnant now?" he asked seriously.

"Not yet, not so soon."

"Brother Wang warned me that if you don't get pregnant again, I won't be able to come back." He had a frowning face. "This time, I was able to come together because the chief of the county came."

Abigail suddenly thought, "Did the princess come to intercede for Renio?"

He nodded, "There is part of the reason."

"He has a really good relationship with the princess." She was a little sour.Lei Nio and the princess were of the same age, they had known each other since they were teenagers, and they could be regarded as childhood sweethearts. If Lei Nio's father was the Duke of Green, maybe he would really marry the princess.

In fact, if there was any indescribable intimacy between the two of them, it would not be a strange thing. After all, Lei Nio's status and appearance were not bad, and she should understand that he was close to the water.

Just of course still not that happy.

Philip suddenly dropped a heavy message, "Yes, the princess suffered a serious illness a few years ago and has not lived in Orleans for more than a year. Even people in the Duke's mansion secretly said that the princess is not sick, but She was pregnant, gave birth to a boy, and was given up for adoption."

Fuck, there is this kind of gossip

"Could it be that the child's father is Reinho?" She thought that if it was true, Reinho might take the child home, and then pretend that it was the child of a lover and raise him by his side.However, it is also possible that the princess has never given birth to a child at all. As we all know, no one in the world does not like this kind of gossip between men and women. The princess has not shown up in public for a long time, and it is not a strange thing to be rumored to have a child .

"I don't know, but Renio has always had a very good relationship with the princess, and they often meet."

She was angry from the bottom of her heart, this is also a dog man

"You go, don't talk to me about that nasty guy"

There was a smug smile on Philip's face, but he immediately changed his expression, "Don't worry, the princess will definitely be able to persuade Brother Wang to let him go. I'll go and see what the knight wants from me first. Oh, get pregnant soon Bar."

all dog men

All afternoon, Abigail was unsettled by this shocking scandal.

I just wish I couldn't run to the Bastille to ask Reinho personally.

She was so angry that she made up a bloody drama in her head.

At night, she calmed down, thinking that Philip's words may not be true.Reinho may have concealed this scandal, but he may have been blamed again. At least the princess did not act as if she had ever given birth to a child for him.

There may be no real friendship between men and women, but for the aristocratic class, it is not so absolute.Reinio is not very moral, but he has never lied to her, and his credibility is still very high.Of course, it could also be because she never thought about it and never asked, so he didn't feel the need to tell her.

alas so difficult

But if there is such a thing, the princess may not care much about it. After all, it is normal for a woman in her 30s to have sex; and it is normal to get pregnant without effective contraceptive means.

After much deliberation, I still feel that the princess is living a free and easy life.

The Knight of Lorraine didn't know where he dragged Philip. He didn't show up until dinner time in the evening. He had dinner with his brother Abigail, Princess Abigail, and then took the boys to meet Anna of Austria and enjoyed the meal. After half an hour of family fun, the children were sent back to the nursery before going back to bed.

The troubles of the Knights of Lorraine were not announced until the next day. The king decided to let the Knights of Lorraine marry Athena.

The Lorraine family is a foreign prince, and there are two dukes in the family. The status of the Lorraine knight is not high, but the family background is very good, and it is not enough to marry the daughter of the Marquis.

The Knight of Lorraine is 16 years old, and Athena is 18 and a half years old. The age difference is more than 2 years. The Knight of Lorraine is younger, but there is no serious problem.

Great Lorraine went to the king to express that the marriage was inappropriate. Athena almost ruined the marriage of their cousin Olive, and none of their brothers could bear a girl like Athena.

Therefore, Louis changed the candidate of her husband to Greater Lorraine.

Brother Lorraine was dumbfounded.

Louis de Lorraine is 17 and a half years old, 14 months younger than Athena.

The Lorraine brothers once again firmly refused.

The Count of Vivonne is vomiting blood, what is the king doing?

The king always proposed unsuitable candidates, but people would not notice that these candidates were unsuitable, but would say that Miss Roshchova was too picky, hypocritical, and unreasonable.

The Lorraine brothers complained that the king didn't know what to do.It's not that they dislike Athena's status, but even if they marry back as a decoration, it's very annoying. First, Olive doesn't want to see Athena, and secondly, Abigail doesn't want to see Athena. Their brothers will soon be less I got two good relatives.

As for the Roshchova family, Victor could not regain the status of His Majesty's confidant, that is, a marginal figure in the court.

The reality is so cruel.

The princess really came to plead for Lei Nio.

It is said that the effect of the intercession was very unsatisfactory, and the cousins ​​had a big fight.

Louis was so angry that he announced on the spot that Titusland would be hanged.

The princess had no choice but to back down, saying that he would either be placed under house arrest in a villa outside Paris. After all, a nobleman had not committed a major crime of treason, and he was not suitable for long-term detention in the Bastille.After a long time, some people will know that Reinho went to prison because he was suspected of cuckolding the king. Does the king not want the face?

This point captured the man's anxiety about being cuckolded very well, so Louis signed an order allowing the Earl of Titusland to be transferred to the villa under the name of the Grand Princess on the outskirts of Paris. In the room, the king will send someone to lock him with shackles to ensure that he cannot get out of the room.The time is not now, but before the royal family returns to the Louvre.

In other words, Renault must stay in the Bastille until the end of September.

By the calculation, it was now approaching the end of July, and he would be in the Bastille for at most two more months.

It's okay, after all, if he doesn't take the blame at all, Louis can't calm down.

The princess showed Abigail the order signed by Louis, and said with a wry smile, "He can't always annoy the king, you should persuade him not to always take risks."

Abigail had nothing to say but smirked.

The princess was very knowledgeable, and after taking back the order document, he began to chat about the children.

Both boys were her godsons, and she was generous enough to give the children a lot of toys, never caring that they were too young to play with them.

He also said, "I may not get married anymore, and I won't have my own children. I will leave a small property for them in the future. Remember to ask them to lay flowers in front of my grave."

She said it very freely, and Abigail agreed with a smile, "You often come to visit them, or when they are a few years older, His Highness can take them to live with you for a few months."

The big princess was very happy, "It can be counted that you can talk."

Then he looked at the two children carefully, "In fact, they don't really look like His Majesty or His Highness, like you. His Majesty the Queen Mother said that little Louis looked like His Majesty when he was a child, but he doesn't really look like him."

She couldn't pick up on this, so she had to say, "The children are still young, and you won't be able to tell until they are three years old. But they must be His Majesty's children."

The princess smiled, "It's better for the children to be closer to you. Although Mrs. Villar is very good, she is not the child's biological mother. It is very pitiful for the children to have no mother, and it is also very pitiful not to see the mother. "

Is she feeling sad about her life experience? The biological mother of the former duchess and princess also passed away within a few days after giving birth to her.

A newborn whose biological mother passed away must be pitiful, and the biological father would not personally take care of the child, so he might have sent her out to be raised by the adoptive mother, and would not return to the Duke's Mansion until she was about 34 years old when she grew up.

"I see." Abigail accepted humbly, "I want the children to live in the villa in Paris, but Louis is worried about security and wants the children to live in Versailles."

"Versailles is not bad. But it's a bit old and too small for you, Your Majesty. It should be expanded."

"Your Majesty worries about having no money all day long."

"Everyone is worried about having no money." The princess expressed her understanding, "His expenses are very high."

"Can't you tax the nobles?"

The princess first looked at her in surprise, and then explained to her, "No noble is willing to pay taxes. If you don't believe me, just ask Philip."

Philip was teasing little Louis, and he replied without raising his head, "I have no money, and I don't pay taxes."

"Look at him, he's still a duke. He doesn't even want to pay taxes. Others don't have as much money as him, let alone pay taxes."

Abigail actually understands this truth. The aristocracy is a class with vested interests. It has been like this for thousands of years, and no one is willing to pay taxes.And the treasury wants more taxes, so it has to tax the merchant class and farmers.

This era is at the beginning of the transition from a feudal country to a capitalist country. The reason is the business opportunities brought by the expansion of overseas colonies in the Age of Discovery. That is to say, the non-noble civilian class has become richer, and tax increases have become feasible. .

The French are still hardworking and smart, but they are not too strong in the military, mainly because the navy has not yet achieved considerable development, so now Spain, Britain, the Netherlands and other countries are vigorously developing overseas colonies, and France also has some overseas colonies. Colonies, but relatively speaking, occupation is more difficult.
