Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 3023 queen’s pleasure (2)

The "Virgin Queen" has been living in anxiety. Not only is she worried about the invasion of foreign enemies, but she is also afraid of being assassinated. She even lets spies secretly monitor every move of the people in the palace. The atmosphere in the palace is therefore very tense.

The reason why she didn't marry is also very simple. If you don't get married, you don't have to have children, and having children is risky for women even in the 19th century, from the queen to the washerwoman.

Every time Queen Victoria gave birth, Prince Albert was by her side, caring for her, but there are some things that men can't help.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were pregnant when news of their pregnancy was announced shortly after their marriage. While the whole country was blessed, Queen Victoria introduced a bill to Parliament, which provided for the appointment of Albert in the event of something unfortunate to the queen. Prince Albert is regent, but the premise is that if Prince Albert remarries, he must never marry a Catholic and must live in the UK after marriage.

This first caused the "dissatisfaction" of the Duchess of Kent. She had been planning a "regency" a long time ago, and William IV also asked Alexandrina Victoria to be independent for this reason.

The baroness who was expelled was the playmate of the princess since she was a child, and was also arranged by her mother. Apart from her brothers and sisters, she was accompanied by only the baroness mother and daughter in her childhood.

Because it was the first pregnancy, no one knew what would happen, so the ministers were obedient to any request made by Queen Victoria, but the public became worried about the bill.

During the first two years of his marriage to the queen, Prince Albert was kept out of the affairs of state, and he was asked to recuse himself every time the queen saw ministers. As a German, he also said with a serious smile that Prince Albert has been subject to endless public suspicion until his death.

But shortly before the Queen announced her pregnancy, the Orosevelt assassination occurred, and the Queen's judgment convinced the public, so soon the public's fear of opposing the bill dissipated, and Queen Victoria's mother and uncles had nothing to say up.

Later, after the suggestion of Baron Tokma and the consent of the Viscount of Melbourne, Prince Albert set out to ease the tense relationship between the royal family and the Conservative Party, and Queen Victoria came forward to entertain important figures of the Conservative Party.

The Viscount Melbourne, who was Prime Minister at the time, was 56 years old and had been separated from his wife for many years, citing her various infidelities, most notably his affair with the poet Lord Byron.

The Viscount of Melbourne himself is also very handsome. He often gives lectures to the young princess, and talks together for at least 6 hours a day.

Even the Duke of Wellington thought they had been together too long and too close, and rumors about the Queen's relationship with the Prime Minister reached the public's ears, with some drawing caricatures and the title "Lady of Melbourne" It was first murmured by the Tories, and later spread all over the streets because of cartoons.

There is nothing wrong with the content of the comic itself, just a man and a woman, dressed in solid clothes, without any suggestive body language, just ordinary conversation.

But I don't know if it was for avoiding suspicion or for other purposes. At the Queen's 19th birthday party, the Prime Minister refused to dance with her. He went home early. At that time, the ballroom was full of guests from home and abroad.

Soon after, the young people danced a quadruplet around the queen. The young queen was full of energy and did not leave until 4 o'clock in the morning, forgetting about that incident.

There wasn't really anything shady hidden in Pomona's drawers, just a few cosmetics she never used and bought because they looked good.

But when they appeared in Snape's field of vision, she suddenly understood the feeling of those boys whose private magazines were searched, and she pushed the open drawer back angrily.

"What are you looking for? Tea bags?" she sarcastically said.

Hearing this, his gaze turned to her, looking unfathomable.

She was indescribably embarrassed, but didn't know what to say.

"It's just a few eyeshadows, why be nervous," Snape said lightly. "You confiscated them from students?"

She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, he had already taken an empty glass and returned to the position just now.

He did not know where to take out a bottle of wine, and filled it to the drinking glass. Her office mainly receives children, and she does not know how to prepare a goblet for drinking...

"What are you doing standing up, sit down." He said in a commanding tone.

Pomona hesitated for a while, then sat down across from him again, picked up the watermelon juice and drank it.

He drank the wine slowly, and it was hard to see that he was younger than her, and it was hard to see that he was only two years older than Priya Moore, only in his twenties.

When the watermelon juice bottomed out, she sat awkwardly sideways, facing him sideways.

"Say something, Pomona, don't you like talking to people?" he said coldly after a moment of silence.

That was with other people, and Pomona felt at ease talking to them, not like it does now.

"You... It's probably not that easy for you to apply for the Secret Service now. Have you read the newspaper recently?" Pomona stammered.

"Of course I read the newspaper, Rita Kiester is back." Snape pursed his lips.

She wasn't surprised at all, just when she subconsciously wanted to take a sip of watermelon juice, she found that it was already empty.

He reached out and took the glass in her hand, poured a glass of wine into it, and handed it to her.

"Thank you." She took the cup and said softly.

"Go on." He said in a low voice.

"Have you seen the 007 movie?" Pomona asked.

"Speaking of newspapers, what about movies?" Snape asked.

"It's been in theaters for twenty years, and it's been in several series, and have you ever seen the censor general banning it from theaters?" Pomona said.

He looked at her silently.

"A book was published in Australia. It is said that it was written by a former staff member of MI5. Two newspapers published the content of the book. Because it involved leaking secrets, it was banned by the inspector general and prohibited from publishing." Pomona explain.

"Continue." He frowned and listened carefully.

"Although there is a ban in the UK, but not in the US, it is now a bestseller, and you can even find it in the UK, as long as you look for it." Pomona stood up and found a book from the shelf .

It wasn't bound in an old fashion like other magic books, it was just a normal paperback, and she handed it to Snape.

"The two newspapers appealed, arguing that there was no public interest in maintaining the ban after the book had entered the UK freely. Necessary, they believe that security agency personnel have a lifetime obligation of secrecy, and if an injunction is to be issued, they should also be issued an injunction preventing them from disclosing any information obtained while serving the government, whether or not the folder is labeled 'confidential' Tag of."

"Thank you," Snape said, smiling, and took the book.

"MI5 is not like MI6, it's not like the Secret Service, you can find them on the list of government departments, but I would say that if you really want to get a writ of habeas corpus this way, you have to let They know you're tight-lipped and loyal and trustworthy," Pomona said as she returned to her seat.

Snape briefly flipped through the book in his hand, then looked at her again.

"How do you prove your loyalty, Severus Snape, it must be harder to join the Secret Service now than it was before after I figured this out," Pomona said with a smile.

"Have you ever put on makeup yourself?" He put away the book and said with a casual look, "Or used those cosmetics?"

She stopped smiling and turned her face away angrily.

"Tell me, I won't tell anyone," he said with a smile.

Pomona wanted to punch him, knock the smile off his face.

As a result, he was happier, and even showed a mouthful of yellow teeth.
