Versailles Wild Rose

The Viscount de Umbreda is young and handsome, he is the lady's brother, and now he has quickly become the king's confidant, and was injured in order to save His Majesty. The well-informed father learned that the Viscount will soon have his own earldom, and suddenly felt that This is the best candidate for a son-in-law, and he must not let it go.

The father was very wise, knowing that his daughter was average in appearance and could not become the king's mistress. It would be easier and easier to grab a promising young nobleman as his son-in-law.He has even started to get in touch with the Viscount, and played cards with the Viscount. It is said that the Viscount's card skills are very good.

An Sili only met the Viscount once. The Viscount is indeed very handsome and has a good temperament. There are many noble girls in the palace who are very interested in the Viscount. There are also married wives who are also very interested in the Viscount. .

The viscount is very reserved and never pays attention to any women.

She dared not mention the Viscount de Umbreda casually, for fear of being discovered.People in the palace, regardless of gender, are very mean. If they knew that she actually liked the Viscount, they would definitely laugh at her, thinking that she was ugly and fat, and unworthy of being the Viscount's wife.

Fortunately, Philip quickly mentioned the Viscount, "Will Claude attend the ball?"

"He hasn't fully recovered yet. If Louis wants Claude to go to Fontainebleau, I don't even want him to go."

"You are wrong, Claude must go."

"why"

"The king has a bad memory, you have to let him see your brother's wound, so that he will remember that Claude saved him."

Well, while Claude wasn't the only injured squire, Abigail wouldn't give the credit away either.

"You're right, well, I'll let him come to the ball." Thinking of the fact that Austrian Anna was very concerned about Claude's marriage, she was determined to find him a suitable wife.

Claude's age should also be married. Aristocratic men generally marry between the ages of 20 and 30. The eldest son and heir usually get married around the age of 25 in order to have children early. After all, the infant mortality rate is so high. Get married early and have children early, so that if the eldest son dies, there is still time to have a few more children.

Abigail thought that Claude's appearance and temperament are the best of this era, and the reason why he has not married until now is probably that he has little money.

But he is now the king's confidant, and money is no longer a problem; he will soon have his own title, and the title is not a problem, so if he wants to get married now, as long as he finds the right person, he can get married soon.

The elder brother's marriage is not his business alone. She can marry d'Artagnan, a "poor" earl with a middle economic level, and her elder brother is the heir, so she can't just marry an unreliable girl without a dowry.

As for love, it has never been secondary.

Abigail's court dance was so-so.She likes to dance very much, but there are several dance steps popular in the palace, and she always confuses them. For this reason, not only Philip laughed at her, but Louis also laughed at her mercilessly.

"You're so stupid" Louis taught her to dance himself, in the ballroom, with two violinists playing music in the orchestra pit.

Abigail was very wronged, "My mother said that I don't need to learn to dance. In the palace, I changed to one or even several dance steps in a few years, and she would not know it long ago."

"You always know the basic dance steps, but you don't know the new dance steps yet, ah, you can't step on my feet anymore." It was quite difficult for the court dancer to step on his feet, and he soon understood that she deliberately stepped on his instep, laughing Grabbing her waist, "What a naughty girl"

She kept laughing, "Why are your feet under mine"

"So, it's my fault. I shouldn't have put my feet under yours." Wiping the tip of her nose, she kissed her little mouth.

"Yes, it's your fault." She also kissed his lips, "Dancing is very simple, you only need two people to dance, that's it." She took his hand and put it on her waist , "That's it, hold me."

He put his hands on her waist, "Is that so?"

"Yes, then, just shake your body like this."

She moved her steps, put her hands on his shoulders, and pressed her face against his chest, "This way, isn't it very simple?"

"It's very simple." Louis' voice was low and gentle in her ear. "But it's not dancing at all."

"You say yes, that is. You are the king." She looked up at him.

She is always right.

On weekends, themed masquerade parties.

Dressed up as the sun god Apollo today, Louis got the attention of all the guests as a matter of course.

He held Abigail dressed as Aphrodite in one arm. Abigail looked cold and arrogant, and put one hand on Louis's hand. In the other hand, he held a solid gold hollow apple that was too heavy. The two came in from the main entrance of the ballroom, and Bondang shouted "eroi"

The King is always on the stage, always in the limelight.

Although there were not as many as 1 people in the ballroom, there was no doubt that everyone admired their handsome king.

"Marquise de Provence"

Louis had knighted her yesterday for this public ball, and she is now a marquise.

This is also something that people have known for a long time that they will be knighted, and no one is shocked.

The sun god walked by with the goddess of love and beauty, and people bowed or curtseyed.

The king's throne is on the other side of the ballroom, with one seat on the left and two seats on the right.The fact that the king publicly brought Madame d'Artagnan to the ball, and seated her at his side, as equals to the king's mother and brother, no doubt shows how much the new marquise was favored.

Actually, it's really cool.

When you know that more than half of these people are envious, jealous and hateful, this refreshing feeling is even stronger.For these aristocrats who wandered around the palace all the year round and regarded themselves as the king's cronies, the little count's daughter from Rouen was a witch who actually seduced the handsome king, which was a moral decline.And their poor king has been dazzled.

Claude's injury healed quite quickly, and on the day of the ball, he was able to dance with his female partner. He invited a lady from the Lorraine family as his dance partner.

This Miss Françoise is the niece of the Duke of Guise. Her grandfather was the previous Duke of Guise. The Lorraine family has two duke titles. One is the Duke of Lorraine of the same family and owns the Duchy of Lorraine; the other is the Duke of Guise. It was the Duke of Guise, Louis Lorraine and Philippe Lorraine belonged to the family of the Duke of Guise, and Regno belonged to the family of the Duke of Lorraine.

Françoise's father and the father of the Lorraine brothers were both younger brothers of the Duke of Guise; the cousins ​​grew up together, and Françoise was 18 years old, a beautiful girl of marriageable age.

"Did Your Majesty the Queen Mother introduce you to each other?" Françoise was the count's daughter, but she did not appear on her maid candidate list.

"Yes. I went to meet His Majesty a few days ago, and His Majesty introduced Miss Lorraine to me. Rosalina is also there, and she likes Miss Lorraine very much."

Beautiful, young, docile, healthy, and fairly wealthy, who wouldn't like it?

Aristocratic girls in this era are also generally educated according to the standards of good wives and mothers, such as Rosalina; Françoise is a girl who is good enough to be a wife. It can be said that the only reason why she has not been engaged until now is There is no husband candidate she is satisfied with.

After all, he wanted to marry the family of the Duke of Guise. The status should not be too low, the family should not be too sad, and the family should not be too poor.Young girls generally like handsome men. Klaus is now a hot figure in front of the king, so he naturally becomes the most suitable husband candidate.

"That's good. I think she is very nice. If her father wants to see you, I can ask His Highness to accompany you."

Claude was also very satisfied, "I think so too. Her family has always been His Majesty's confidants, and the Earl will be very satisfied if His Highness can go with me."

"If that's the case, then hurry up, we can get engaged after discussing the dowry. Before the engagement, I will ask Louis to knight you." She was very happy that she didn't expect Claude's marriage to be resolved so soon.

The status of the Lorraine family is undoubtedly relatively high. Even if they belong to the same earl, the rich Lorraine family is at least half a level higher than the ordinary earl family. The Austrian Anna will introduce Miss Lorraine to Claude, which must be proposed by the woman. Otherwise, we wouldn't introduce each other like this.

It seems that Austrian Anna really treats their siblings differently.

So what happened back then

She originally thought that her mother was a scapegoat for Anna of Austria, but now it doesn't look like it, but it's just because her mother married an inappropriate person in private, and Louis XIII would not punish her for marrying a bastard, so it is likely to be with her. Austrian Anna related.

According to court secrets, before Anna of Austria gave birth to Louis, it is said that she had a lover, but there were actually several names of her lovers.

Well, she wondered if Anna Austria was using other people as smoke bombs to hide her real lover

Probably.

She might still have to ask her husband about it.

Thinking of D'Artagnan, she thought of this honest man who was in charge of guarding the palace today.

There were a lot of people in the ballroom. This was the last ball before the king went to Fontainebleau. There were not many balls held in the palace. Every ball wanted to have as much fun as possible. After all, there was no money to eat and drink, except for the ball. , and there are no major entertainment activities.

D'Artagnan doesn't like balls very much. There are many people at balls. In fact, in addition to closing the gates of the Louvre, the security work is always very difficult when there are many people coming and going in and out of the Louvre. It is impossible to completely prevent idlers from entering the palace. .

Ball thefts happen every year in the Louvre. It is not important to lose property, but every time it can embarrass the supervisor in charge of security work.

The author has something to say that the elder brother is now the king's confidant, and it is impossible to just marry a wife whose status is not as good as his. ,,
