Versailles Wild Rose

However, this problem will not be solved for a while, so let's continue to open the present happily

Next, unwrap the gift from Philip.

His Highness is still young, and not as rich and powerful as the king. He also gave jewelry, but relatively speaking, it is much lighter.

There is also a pearl necklace, but the pearls are much smaller, because they are all strong light bulbs. The pendant is a perfect drop-shaped strong light pink pearl the size of a thumb, which is super suitable for daily wear; a pair of cross pearl earrings, The supporting stone was sapphire; a dozen thin necklaces of various shapes, which could be worn as necklaces or brow pendants; and a very wide bangle in gold, clearly Indian in style, with polished but uncut stones. of emeralds.

Abigail puts on the bracelet, "does it look good?"

"Beautiful lady, you look great in this bracelet"

She picked up the pearl necklace, "Change this one."

Mary took off the coral bead necklace for her and put on the pearl necklace.

D'Artagnan, who would not send jewelry, gave her a short, deluxe version with an ivory handle, more ornamental than utilitarian.

Renio sent a lot of things, a large wooden box, which is full of Chinese silk and satin; a small wooden box, which contains an ivory ball carved with flowers, pure decorations and toys; a set of four leaves on the table The screen is made of cyan emerald jade, with white ivory reliefs, a set of myths about Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty; a dagger with ivory handle inlaid with three precious stones, ruby, sapphire, and emerald.

There was also a long wooden box in which was placed a golden rose made of pure gold.

It is pure gold, bright and delicate, without a single gemstone, but it has a simple and gorgeous look.

"I remember I have a small white crystal vase, find it out, insert the gold rose into the vase, and put it on the bedside table."

Mary went to find the vase.

Abigail thinks she's rich

Well, no one can think too much of jewelry, but it seems that they are not very practical. They are purely ostentatious decorations, and they are just a kind of psychological satisfaction that makes you feel happy and feel super rich.

She is indeed not short of money. Compared with Claude, she is impatient to carefully win a few pistoles every day at the poker table, so Philip asked her to play poker, and she immediately understood that those were fat to be slaughtered. Sheep, without hesitation, slaughtered them severely.

The reason why Claude is so careful is because he and those poker players are colleagues, so he can't offend everyone all at once.But she is different, behind her is His Royal Highness, who lost to a young girl in a card game, and those noble gentlemen are embarrassed to say that their skills are not as good as others.

It's super happy to have a backer

The fireworks are beautiful, huge fireworks blooming in the night, bright and dazzling, everyone likes this kind of expensive and short-lived visual enjoyment.

Abigail accompanied Anna of Austria, Louis on the left of his mother, and Philip on the right of his mother.

After watching the fireworks for a while, Philip stepped back quietly and grabbed Abigail's right hand.

She was very calm, and scratched his palm a few times with her fingers.

Louis looked over quickly, but just glanced at them both lightly.

He knew very well what jewels he had given her, but she wore none of them, but a few pieces he had never seen before, which, of course, must have been from Philip.

He was burning with anger in his heart, thinking angrily that he was a bit too miserable as a king, he couldn't do anything to his younger brother, and he couldn't make Abigail obediently

He was so angry that he regretted that he should not have talked to her today, nor should he have given her a present.But, it is impossible to take back the gift that has been sent, that is not the demeanor that a king should have.

He wondered angrily if he should have slept with Christine and pampered her so that Abigail would regret it deeply.

should have done it to him

After the fireworks show, Captain D'Artagnan sent someone to invite the Barberion brothers and sisters.

As the king's confidant, the captain of the Musketeers has the right to invite some nobles to a banquet every day. There are not many people in the banquet. Usually, there are no more than 20 hosts, sometimes even fewer people. The cost of the banquet is paid by the king.This is a kind of compensation, after all, not every nobleman living in the palace is eligible to attend the king's banquet.

Class distinctions at the French court were very strict, with few exceptions.

D'Artagnan's guests were all officers of the Musketeers and the Royal Guard. Claude hadn't officially entered the job yet, but it was certain that he would join the Royal Guard. The officers had begun to regard him as "one of their own".

The diet of this small banquet is also very rich, with cold dishes, hot dishes, desserts, drinks and drinks.

After eating barbecue at noon, she didn't want to eat too much greasy food at night, so Abigail only ate some fish.Overeating is a bad idea.

Nothing happened during the banquet, the banquet was over, dArtagnan sent Abigail back to the room, and Claude was taken away by his future colleagues to play cards.

"Mary, Mary" Mary didn't know where to go.

Fearing that the jewels might be stolen, she sent Mary to Bontemps for a large wooden box with a lock, which she kept in her bedroom.The wooden box of clothes that Reinho sent was still on the floor of the living room. She originally wanted to give Mary a roll of silk, but she thought that Mary usually worked in the palace, and she had no chance and could not wear a silk dress, so she might as well give the money directly, so Added perks to Mary.

Mary didn't know where she went, she found a nightgown and a big towel by herself, and went to the bathroom.

There were other maids in the bathroom, so I asked a maid to pour the bath water.

Huh, I'm so tired. I walk around all day, and my calves are going to be thick.

She half-lyed in the bathtub with her eyes closed.

Mary sneaked in, and she opened her eyes to look.

Mary squatted down by the bathtub and whispered, "Miss de la Vallière is here, and His Majesty has arranged a room for her, but it's a bit far from His Majesty's bedroom, and there are several rooms away."

"Where are you going to inquire about the news?"

"Your Majesty's servant."

"Carol"

Mary giggled, "You guessed right."

"What did His Majesty say?" She wondered if she could develop Carol into her confidant. In short, it was better than nothing.Mary also needs to give her a proper salary increase, no, an allowance.

"Your Majesty gave Miss de la Vallière a lot of gifts, including furniture, jewelry and fabrics. Is Your Majesty angry with you?" Mary asked worriedly.

"Ignore him, let him be angry. He can't do anything to me, can he?"

"Miss, you are really not in a hurry"

"I see you are more anxious than me. What are you anxious about?"

"I'm worried that His Majesty doesn't like you anymore."

"It seems that I have nothing to lose, are you right?"

Abigail came out of the bathtub, "This is not something you can worry about, so don't think about it. Your main task now is to take good care of my life, and to establish a good relationship with Carol. What expenses are needed ,I will give you."

Mary was dumbfounded, "Miss"

"Interpersonal communication costs money. Carol likes whatever you like. I'll give you a few euros later, and you can use it to buy some handkerchiefs and other things and give them to her. Don't give money directly , understand?"

Mary nodded first, then shook her head.

"It's okay if you don't understand. If she mentions what she wants, you come back and tell me, and I will make a decision. It's not difficult, right?"

"I see." Mary nodded vigorously.

The King's birthday celebration is over, but the nobles who came to Paris from other places have not left immediately. The Duke has his own apartment outside, which is convenient for living. After all, the rooms in the palace are not very big, and they cannot accommodate so many people. The Duke They also have their own attendants. In short, there are a large number of people, and the basic necessities of life have fully driven the gd in Paris this month.

The Duke of Orleans is also 50 years old. His biggest regret is that his two marriages did not bring him a male heir who survived to adulthood. As an ambitious man, having no male heir is the deepest pain in his heart.

The Duchess of Orleans gave birth to 5 children, and now the surviving three daughters, plus her stepdaughter, the Grand Princess, the Duchess brought all four daughters to Paris and lived in the Royal Palace opposite the Louvre.

The oldest of the three little princesses is 13 years old, and the youngest is 10 years old, both of whom are still young girls.She looks a little better than her older sister, Dajun, but she is not a very beautiful beauty.

The eldest princess's attitude towards the younger sisters is not very enthusiastic, probably because of the large age difference, they can't play together.The princesses can't go out to play, so they can only stay in the royal palace.

Princess Henrietta is 14 years old, but she can play with her cousins. The princess called yesterday's jugglers over to watch juggling in the garden with her sisters.

Reno was there too.

Abigail was playing ball with Henrietta and the princesses on the lawn, a simple game of throwing and throwing, and the girls were having a good time.

"Isn't it too boring for you to stay here?" The princess shook the fan of the peacock's tail feather.

Renio smiled lightly, "It's not bad, girls are always beautiful, much better than facing those boring noble young masters."

"The Duchess really wants you to marry Margaret." Margaret is 13 years old and is the Duke's second daughter.

"She's too young."

"Abigail is only 16 years old. It will only be 16 years until Margaret is 3 years old."

"If you want me to marry her, then I can marry you 10 years ago. Your father will not agree." The number of duke's daughters is limited, and they are very expensive, so they cannot just marry a small earl.The Duchess was just talking casually, and Reinio would not be so stupid as to take his cousin's words seriously.

"She is just right, her age and status is beautiful."

"I heard that her father is very poor."

"Her beauty is the dowry. I am not short of money, so I don't need my wife's dowry."

"Wife" the princess looked at him in surprise, "You only want to marry her after seeing her a few times"

"I should be married at my age." He said calmly.

The big princess ignored this sentence.

A man who once said he would never get married suddenly wants to get married. It is definitely not a matter of age.

She looked at Abigail on the lawn with admiration. She is indeed beautiful. As for her temperament, she can't see it for the time being; she is very lively, and she is not too humble towards the king's brothers and the princesses of the Duke's family. She basically treats them equally .

As a cousin, she doesn't care about whose bed she sleeps with, and she even finds it super interesting, and even regrets not being able to see the grand occasion of the little cousins ​​fighting when they grow up.

The author has something to say that women lost their virginity at a very early age in that era. Both Chinese and foreign people believed that girls were suitable for marriage when they were aunts. European royal princesses generally married at an early age. Austrian Anna married at 13, and Marie Antoinette Married at 14 and a half, Sissi at 16 and a half, Henrietta and Philip were 16 years and 9 months when they got married.

If Reinio wasn't a duke, he wouldn't be able to marry the duke's daughter.

I feel that I can't finish Chapter 3, so don't wait, I will update it tomorrow.One chapter will be updated at 6:1 tomorrow morning, and the other two chapters will be updated tomorrow afternoon. ,,
