He doesn't like to participate in the salon in the palace. The salon is full of boring people and gossip, which is very boring.Abigail also doesn't attend salons, she says those people are super boring, she has her current status, she doesn't need to stay in the salon with people to be considered "social", she can invite people to her meeting directly if she wants to meet in the living room.

He also never goes to the ball, because Austrian Anna only attends the ball occasionally now, but she will not dance again. The only exception is to accept the invitation of her sons, and the number of times is also very small. She only dances at the birthday ball of her two sons. opening dance.

Abigail had a great interest in balls, and could dance from the first dance to the last with unskilled steps.

Yesterday, His Majesty named Abigail the "Marquise of Provence", and she was very happy.Provence is in the south of France, far away from Paris. A title means a fief and an income.Being rich means being happy. Her happiness is so pure. He likes her smile, which is as bright as the brightest diamond.

Louis was also very happy, but within two hours, they quarreled again.

It's really nerve-racking.

DArtagnan, with the heart of an old father, thought of the young couple.Louis could publicly announce that Abigail was the royal mistress before he got married, so he must love her very much; he also has the arrogance of a king, and he is not worried that the Spanish king will refuse to propose marriage.He had thought early on that Louis would be like his "father" and had to marry a girl he didn't love, which was really pathetic.But he also knew that if Louis' surname was d'Artagnan, he would never get Abigail.

The woman he loves asks him never to tell their children that he is the real father, and he says yes.He can silently guard them until the end of his life.

The music in the ballroom was continuous, and the voices of people echoed in the palace.Someone ran into the garden in spite of the cold night.

The girl laughed briskly, "You are walking too fast, stop and wait for me."

Like Abigail.

"Hurry up, we only have a little time, and we have to go back before the king finds out that you are missing."

It seems to be His Highness.

"It's too cold outside."

"Are woolen scarves not warm enough?"

"Not enough. A wool scarf is not a fireplace."

"I touch your hand."

"Hate it, don't touch it."

"Is this groping?"

"Can't we go into some room? I don't want to be out in the cold."

His Highness laughed, "Don't you think it's very nice here, with moonlight and lights."

"But it's too cold. You can kiss me for a while, but you must go back soon."

D'Artagnan was very sad, and did not know what to do with the matter.The two boys are his sons, and he hopes that they will be happy. The prince may get a lot of "happiness", but he may not be able to get real "happiness".For example, in love, the probability of them getting real "love" is too low.

But what is the situation now? His simple and straightforward mind couldn't figure it out.

He deliberately broke a branch, making a crisp sound of the branch breaking.

Abigail exclaimed, "God who's there"

"It's me, miss."

"D'Artagnan." Philippe still held her in his arms, and made no attempt to let go.

"Are you here to find me?"

"No, I occasionally saw movement here, and thought it was some kind of thief."

"You can pretend you didn't see us, Captain."

"Your Highness."

"I'm going back, I'm really cold."

"Okay then." Philip took her hand.

"No, wait until you go back, I'll go in with the captain first." She quickly kissed him on the lips, "Be good, don't cause trouble for me."

She took d'Artagnan's arm, "Captain, send me back quickly, I'm about to freeze"

D'Artagnan leads her back to the palace silently.That's right, if he takes her back, no one will be suspicious.

"Do you like Your Highness?"

"Yes, Philip is very sweet, and a child."

"Looks like you're younger."

"Women are always a little bit more mature than men."

"You are right. So, what do you do to Your Majesty?"

"Why did His Majesty the Queen Mother ask you to ask me?"

He smiled, "No, I want to know. Who do you love more?"

"Love, no, I will not fall in love with someone like you. Love is painful. Love brings little pleasure and a lot of pain. How can I be so stupid to fall in love with anyone, especially them. Captain, you are a courtier , you love the king because you are loyal to the king."

"Miss, you are a strange girl. I thought you would love His Majesty, and you know His Majesty loves you very much."

"He loves me very much now. You know what it is. Well, don't discuss such strange things with me. Your Majesty will ask me every few days if you have claimed your husband's rights. Captain, are you My husband, you can ask me to fulfill my duties as a wife."

"Miss, please rest assured, I will never ask you to fulfill your wife's responsibilities." That was all he could answer.

Send her to the entrance of the ballroom, "Please go in, I still have inspection tasks."

"You are the captain, so don't do everything by yourself. You should relax, come on, I invite you to dance." She wiped her toes on the floor a few times, and said mischievously, "Louis taught me to dance, you know how to dance kind of dance?"

"I'm a useless old man. I haven't learned this kind of dance. You go in."

She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, "Yes, my husband."

Louis is dancing with a 178-year-old girl.

Seeing her appear, Rosalina hurried over, "Look, that woman"

"who is she"

"Miss of the Marquis of Mottemart."

"What's your name?" She wondered if she had never seen this girl before.

"Françoise Athene de Rochevois."

"Oh, it's her."

She had heard of the daughter of the Marquis because of her name, athenais, the French version of Athena.Her patrilineal and matrilineal families are very old, dating back 1000 years; her mother's name is Diana, her maiden surname is Gransigne, and she used to be Anna's maid in Austria.

In other words, this Miss Athena is similar to her origin, the difference is that Athena is a pure French, while she is half a Spaniard.Moreover, Athena's father was a Marquis, who was higher than the Earl of Barberion.

Her elder brother Louis Victor is the king's friend and attendant. She also has an older sister and a younger sister. The three daughters of the Marquis of Mottemart's family are all beautiful. They are the kind of beauty that fits the aesthetics of this era, with a small nose. , The mouth is small, but the chin is retracted, so the face looks small.

Abigail noticed that Louis' eyes were always on Athena's face.

Can the damn dog man get better?

She told the maid to call Ansley.

"Go and tell Your Majesty that I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back first."

Rosalina was stunned, "Is this okay, shouldn't you drive her away?"

"Get rid of her dear sister, I can't get angry with His Majesty in public, and there's no need to get angry with him over a dance."

"Then what are you going to do"

"Nothing to do. If he wants to dance with others, then go and dance. I won't stop him."

"I'll accompany you back."

The two sisters left the ballroom first.

The Marchioness left while the King was dancing with other girls, and it was obvious that the Marchioness was angry.

People got excited and started talking about what this meant.The king is a long-term lover, and perhaps he has taken a fancy to the Marchioness of Mottemart, and the newly-appointed Marchioness may fall out of favor.

Abigail is in the shower.

Rosalina looked at her sister's body, which was only one and a half months pregnant, and she couldn't tell at all.

"If you don't say anything, His Majesty may think you don't mind."

"Let him think so for the time being."

"You're really pissing me off."

"Why are you angry with me? You should be angry with His Majesty. He is stepping on my face."

"What a strange word"

"Oh, isn't it? I'm his mistress. His eyes are not allowed to look at other women."

"That's right." Rosalina thought deeply, "I asked Claude to inquire about her brother."

"No need to ask, Louis has several attendants who grew up together, Victor is one of them, and the other is Greater Lorraine."

"So, Viscount Marson also knows him."

"He is the Earl of Vivonne." My brother is not an earl, and he seems to be at a disadvantage. "I will ask Louis to give the title to Claude in a few days."

Rosalina said worriedly, "Don't quarrel with His Majesty, talk to him well. Instead, you use the energy of your quarrel with His Majesty to deal with that woman."

"Don't be nervous, I know. If you want to kill a competitor, you have to be absolutely sure before you make a move, and you must kill it with one blow, just like killing a fly."

"You have to do it early, otherwise when your belly grows bigger, His Majesty might hate your shapeless figure."

Abigail sighed.Louis is a handsome dog, he will definitely dislike her when her belly swells and her figure is out of shape.Damn, why can't it be a man who gets pregnant? It must be fun to think about Louis being pregnant for October with a big belly.

"The water is cold, come out." Rosalina directed the maid to take the big bath towel, and helped her sister to stand up, "Be careful, don't fall."

She hasn't developed the habit of being careful everywhere, after all, she really doesn't feel pregnant at all.

The maid dried her body and put her nightgown on.

"You go back first, let Claude go back with you, and tell him to find out why Athena suddenly entered the palace now. If she wants to stay in the palace, let Claude go and tell Da Lorraine, call Count Vivonne is taking Athena to Fontainebleau."

The author has something to say about Françoise Athena de Rochechouart, who later became the Marquise of Montespin.Her brother was a childhood friend of Louis XIV's and had once served as the captain of the royal guard. Montespan must have met XIV long ago. ,,
