Although using the father-in-law again seems to be a bit sorry for others, but you said that there are too many lice and it doesn't itch. Anyway, it is already like this, so what is a new debt?

The more Aigron thought about it, the more feasible it became, and his mind suddenly became active.

Of course, doing so is actually a bit risky.

After Teresa gave birth, she took their two children into Austria, which meant that her personal safety fell into the hands of his grandfather. If the Habsburg emperor was against her, there would be almost no Any resistance, his wife and children will also become hostages in the hands of the other party.

It is precisely because of this concern that Michel Ney had some scruples just now, for fear of offending His Majesty.

However, Aigron thought about it carefully and felt that there should be no problem.

After all, they agreed to the marriage of Aigron and Teresa, and they were compromising and showing favor to Aigron. If Teresa was arrested by force, everything they had done before would be meaningless.

Although his grandfather and Metternich were bastards and had no principles, they had always been good at calculating, and they would definitely not do such thankless things.

Besides, would his father-in-law tolerate his daughter being taken hostage when she went home to visit her parents?Certainly not.

No matter from any aspect, Teresa is not a threat to the Austrian Empire now, she will not be treated by others, at least it is worth a try.

"Michelle, your idea is good, it is enough to achieve my goal - so that no one will be surprised by Teresa's departure." After thinking about it, Aigron praised Michelle Ney , "It seems that you have made a lot of progress these days."

Being praised by Aigron, Michelle Ney immediately felt relaxed and straightened his waist, "It is my greatest honor to be able to help you a little, Your Majesty!"

"Although this idea is effective, it is not that simple to make it effective-first of all, my grandfather and Metternich must agree to Teresa's return to China to visit relatives." Aigron frowned again, "This has to be thought about. Think of ways to."

Michel Ney and André Davout looked at each other, and both wisely chose to remain silent—after all, the two of them had no right to speak on the issue of the royal family.

"Okay, I've remembered this matter, how should I explain another question-my whereabouts?" Aigron changed the subject again. "It is impossible for me to visit relatives in Austria like Teresa, the risk is too high."

The other two also frowned, obviously this question took a lot of thought for them.

"Maybe before you leave, you can create some tension and cause trouble at the border." Andre Davout suddenly said after pondering for a long time, "In this way, you can leave Ioannina in a legitimate way to inspect Temporarily live on the border in the name of the border and hunting, so that no one can find out your whereabouts! When the limelight passes, Michelle will declare that you have returned to the capital and issue orders in your name. At that time, at least you It can hide from everyone's sight for a short period of time."

Aigron thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed a good idea.

Not only can he leave Ioannina by himself, but if it is in the name of military exercises, he can justifiably transfer those officers, and no one will notice that they did not gather at the border, but went to other places.

Isn't it wonderful!

However, although this method is very good, there is also a drawback-what if the Turks take it seriously, so that they put on armed alert, or even choose to "pre-emptive strikes"?

He wanted to create tension, but he didn't think about fighting now. He was not afraid of the aging Turkey, but he had more important things to do now, and he really had no interest in continuing to scatter his energy in the Balkans.

So... if you want to do it, do it bigger!

Aegron suddenly had an inspiration.

"Andre, you have a good idea, and we can build on it—"

"What do you mean?" André Davout was a little puzzled.

"If we act rashly on our own, it is likely to cause unpredictable consequences, but it will be different if we pull Greece. Since we want to make trouble, let's make it big and turn it into the actions of two countries. Isn't this more reflective? A close alliance between our two countries?" Aigron smiled and said his own idea, "I'm going to meet the Greek king next, I can encourage him, let him join me in building momentum and demonstrating against the Turks, I As a new king who has just arrived, our Otto boy must also be very interested in gaining prestige and letting all Greeks know that he is the defender of Greece... I can also convince my Greek allies to let them also Let's help the king demonstrate together."

Andre and Michelle looked at each other again. Although they thought the idea was good, they were still a little uneasy with each other.

It is a good thing to create a tense atmosphere on the border, but what if King Otto's blood surges and a fight really breaks out?

Like Aigron, they are not afraid of fighting, but they don't want to distract their energy at this juncture.

"Your Majesty, we must control the intensity of the conflict so that it does not become a real war." After hesitating for a while, Andre made an opinion to Aigron, "There will definitely be no problems on our side, but Otto After all, the king is young and full of vigor, if he decides to make a fake show for real, it will drag us down..."

"Don't worry, I've met that kid Otto, I know him, he's young and passionate, but he's not a fool." Aigron shook his head, expressing that he wasn't worried about it, "He just became king now , the foundation is not stable, and he can't command a few people. He doesn't want to fight a real war and put his hard-won throne in crisis. He only wants a grand performance instead of a dangerous war. I will satisfy him. Besides, he is too young to actually exercise his power, and the Bavarian courtiers around him are assisting him in exercising his power. These people are cautious bureaucrats. Just fight! They will definitely hold the king to prevent him from acting rashly—”

After a pause, Eggron added, "To be safe, I can write to the King of Bavaria right now to make it clear that in order to improve his son's prestige, I am willing to sing a play so that his son can show off his might; Yes, please also restrain his son so that the two newly born countries will not fall into war—as long as the king speaks, everything will be fine."

After listening to Aigron's words, Michelle and Andre immediately beamed with joy—they also thought about the entire logical chain and found that there was no flaw.

Egron created tensions in order to get himself out. In order to strengthen his momentum and ensure safety, he took Greece into action; at the same time, in order to prevent Greece from losing control, he prepared various backhands to restrain King Otto.

In this way, the tense atmosphere will not evolve into a real war, which can be said to be seamless.

It is even possible to show kindness to King Otto and Greece by the way, reflecting the closest ally relationship between the two countries, so that the two countries can continue to be consistent with each other in the future.

"Your Majesty! Your plans are comprehensive, and I have nothing more to add." André Davout bowed and saluted the young man. "With your wisdom as a guide, I believe we will be successful everywhere!"

"Let's save this kind of compliment for later, what matters now is action." Aigron shook his head with a smile, "Only you two know what you said today, and you must not leak a single word, understand? ?”

"Understood!" The two quickly stood at attention and agreed.

After solving his most worrying problem at present, Aigron was in a good mood and relaxed all over.He returned to the ranks with two people, and continued to complete the celebration with Haiide.

In the afternoon, Aigron returned to his residence, and then went to the bedroom, and as usual, Teresa was enjoying the cool air on the balcony.

"Teresa, I'm back." He walked to Theresa's recliner and greeted her softly.

After hearing his voice, Teresa turned her head suddenly, then looked at her husband and smiled slightly.

"Your Highness, is the celebration over?"

This smile contained a bit of maternal brilliance in the girl's softness. The golden light in the evening was slowly elongating and lightly falling on her high and protruding abdomen, just like a goddess descending.

"Yes, it's over, everything is going well." Aegron lowered his voice unconsciously, and then sat next to Teresa.

Then, he lowered his head gently and put his ear on Teresa's stomach, as if he was listening to the heartbeat of the unborn child.

"What a restless little fellow."

"Yeah, I'm just as restless as you." Teresa smiled until her eyes narrowed. "I hope I'm as handsome as you."

"Of course, how could our child not be beautiful?" Aigron replied naturally.

Then, he suddenly changed the subject, "Teresa, do you miss your parents when the baby is about to be born?"

Teresa froze for a moment, then immediately answered her husband.

"I miss them so much, how could I not miss them? But at this moment, for me, there are more important people in the world... One is beside me, and the other is still in me. I will always stay by their side , take care of them, that's what my parents taught me."

This answer made Aigron extremely moved and a little ashamed.

"At least you have parents to miss, that's already very happy." He whispered.

Teresa raised her hand and pinched her husband's face, "Our children will definitely be proud of us, just like I am proud of my parents."

"Then... if there is a chance, do you want to go back and visit them?" Aigron asked again.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Teresa looked at Aigron in surprise, unable to understand his thoughts.

So, Aigron told Theresa all the plans he had just made with his two confidantes.

Then he asked Teresa, "Teresa, this is our idea after discussion, but this matter involves you, so the final decision is in your hands, what do you think?"

Teresa didn't answer right away, but fell into deep thought.

Going home to visit relatives is something she is looking forward to very much in terms of personal feelings. How could she not like it?But things involved all aspects, and it was not that simple.

Will His Majesty the Emperor allow it?She has no certainty.

But anyway, since her husband said so, she thought she could give it a try.

"Then let's see what Dad thinks..." After a moment of silence, she replied to her husband with full of expectation, "If Dad doesn't agree, then forget it; if he agrees, then I don't think I will be in any danger of."  

147, good wife

"If Dad doesn't agree, that's fine; if he agrees, then I don't think I'm in any danger."

Aigron is also convinced of this judgment.

With the prestige of Grand Duke Karl and the identity of the younger brother, it is not difficult to ensure Teresa's safety, but first he must agree to do so.

Then the next task is to convince this father-in-law.

"Then let's write to him as soon as possible." Aigron proposed, "You can make the environment here a little more difficult, and say that for the sake of the child, you hope to take him to live in Austria for a period of time and let him get through it." The most dangerous time..."

"No! Absolutely don't say that!" Teresa immediately gave him a blank look, and then flatly refused. "I can't complain to my father! If I complain to him, he will definitely write back and scold me, saying that I can't share the joys and sorrows with my husband, and I have the obligation to lose my wife, and my mother won't intercede with me... Besides, they used to I explained everything to me. They followed my wishes and tolerated my willful behavior. How could I give in and regret it? Not only would it make me a joke, but it would also make their previous sacrifices meaningless It's-"

Aegron was right.

With his father-in-law's character, when Teresa complained, although he would definitely feel sorry for his daughter, but he would be even more angry at her weakness, because Teresa knew her parents better.

"Theresa, I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said that."

"There is nothing to be sorry about." Teresa shook her head, "Although I can't complain, I can express my feelings to him, because I really miss them, my brothers and sisters... If I have the chance to return It would be great if you visit them at home.”

Speaking of this, Teresa's eyes suddenly turned red, and her voice became softer.

Now she has got the marriage she dreamed of, and now her Highness is about to spread out, and her life is very happy, but from another aspect, she is still a young girl after all, and she has never been separated from her family since she was a child. It's been so long, it's impossible not to miss it.

In order not to disturb her husband before, she hid this longing in her heart, and made preparations for not seeing her family for a long time, but now that she has an opportunity, she is of course willing to give it a try.

Although the ultimate goal is to meet His Highness in the name of visiting family members, at least she can really reunite with her family for a period of time on the way.

"Then let's do this." Aigron didn't want to see Teresa sad all the time, so he made a decision directly, "We can prepare for this now, so that it won't be too late. Teresa, wait for you Write to Dad."

"Not only I want to write, but you also have to write." Teresa replied, "You also have to talk about your feelings with your parents, especially begging your mother to intercede with us... Although your father is quite critical of you, but your mother I have always cared for you, and I like you as a son-in-law very much, so as long as you speak more sincerely, she will definitely soften her heart."

"Yeah, okay, that's it!" Eggron immediately agreed.

Speaking of this, his expression seemed a little embarrassed, "Speaking of which, we owe Dad a debt again... Let him cover our actions, and I hope he won't be angry when he knows the truth."

"What's the point of saying such things now?" Teresa glanced at her husband again, "Your Highness, you clearly know that this is the truth, and you have already made a decision before, but after I agreed, now Remind me again... do you want me to share the responsibility? Don't you think I can't think of this, do you need to remind me?"

"No, I didn't mean that!" After being robbed by Teresa, Aigron's face suddenly became even more uncomfortable, "I just feel that I have caused him so much trouble before, and now I am bothering his old man. I am a bit sorry... After you meet him, please say something nice for me, I am full of guilt and respect for him."

"Of course I will, because you are my husband, will I allow Dad to yell at you in front of me?" Teresa replied naturally. "If he dares to scold you, I will make him unable to step down in person."

Then, she slowed down her tone again, and then lightly hammered Aigron's chest, "Don't worry, we are a family now, even if there are any conflicts between family members, what's the big deal? He No matter how dissatisfied he is with you, you are his son-in-law, the father of his grandson, and he will still support you... Our family is on your side, including the father, and we all hope that you can get what you want. A little help is not a big deal. It doesn't hurt if my father complains a few words, I believe he will be proud of you in his heart-looking at the whole of Europe, he can find someone better than you son-in-law?"

Hearing Teresa's words, Egron was speechless for a moment.

In terms of his experience from childhood to adulthood, his father has passed away, and his grandfather and mother are extremely alienated from him. Because of this, his concept of "family affection" is really a bit indifferent. To him, his mother is just another gift for him. Just a stranger in one life.

He never felt that losing his "family affection" was a big deal, and even often mocked his mother and grandfather. Because of this, he instinctively advised Teresa so that he could better "calculate" his father-in-law.

But Teresa told him with actions that what it means to be a family member is an existence that can be claimed and protected without asking for any reason.

When facing Teresa who grew up in the sweet ocean of family affection, he couldn't help being a little envious and regretful.

After a pause, he thought again, maybe this is because they are offshoots of the royal family, and there is no intrigue between parents and children for imperial power, so the family relationship is so close, right?

It's not important to go back to the source, no matter what, he believes that his wife, and his wife's family, are proud of him, and are willing to help out when it doesn't harm the country.

"Teresa, I really envy you—" He lowered his head and kissed his wife's cheek, "I'm ashamed, I was overthinking... If you have a chance to go back to see them, you must bring me I sincerely hope that I can see them myself in the future and bow down to them to make amends... I love them, it’s true, I get very little warmth from my parents, but I can find the shadow of my parents in them .”

"I believe there will be that day..." Teresa laughed, matching her husband's kiss, her eyes were full of longing and nostalgia, "No matter when we go to the throne or are forced to wander the world, we will eventually One day we will meet them in that manor, His Highness is like the young boy who visited for the first time, fishing and outing with me there, reliving our past memories... Oh, if His Highness doesn’t want to be the emperor , spend your whole life with me there, it will be very happy, right?"

Aigron secretly laughed, Teresa still couldn't get rid of that romantic teenage dream after all.

Alas, but that was also Teresa's loveliness.

In this way, after the couple discussed for a while, Aigron and Teresa made up their minds, and then each picked up a pen and paper and began to write letters to the Grand Duke Karl and his wife.

According to Teresa's previous reminder, neither of them complained, nor did they plead with Grand Duke Karl. Instead, Teresa asked her to share her thoughts about her parents and brothers while sharing the joy of having a child and being a new mother. In the end, Teresa proposed to go back to China to visit her relatives and asked her parents if it was feasible.

Aigron's side was much simpler. He greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and at the same time told about the contribution the couple made to the Principality during this short reign, and how Teresa was about to bring him an heir. In the end, he said that since Teresa missed her hometown, for the sake of her health, he was willing to make sacrifices, temporarily separated from his wife, and let her go home to visit her next family. At the same time, he also deliberately showed his mother-in-law Well, implying that she speaks for herself and for her wife.

Both of them are very good at words, and they also consulted each other, so in the evening, both letters were drawn up.

These two letters will be delivered to the Archduke Karl and his wife by someone in the near future.

There is only so much they can do, and the next step is to see Grand Duke Karl's plan. If he writes back to his daughter to express his consent, the matter will almost be a success.

For Aigron and Teresa, if it can happen, this is of course a double-winner, and they will look forward to it.

After writing the letter, it was very late, and at this time they both felt very hungry, so they called Chanel and asked her to prepare dinner.

The dinner was actually ready a long time ago, but at that time, Chanel watched the two His Majesties discuss important matters, so he didn't dare to interrupt, so he could only let the kitchen temporarily keep the meals and reheat them every quarter of an hour-so, when Iger When Long and Teresa were preparing meals, the meals were immediately delivered to the restaurant.

As usual, the couple sat next to each other at the wide dining table to dine, chatting a few words from time to time.

Teresa's usual taste is quite light, but recently because of her pregnancy, she was advised by the doctor to take in more nutrients, so she ate a lot of meat and oil.

This is of course very beneficial to pregnant women and fetuses, but at the same time it also brings a big enemy that girls avoid...

"Recently, I feel that my waist is a little thicker..." After Teresa took a sip of the steaming fresh meat soup with a spoon, she couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "I'm afraid after giving birth to this child, I will change my body. I'm pretty fat..."

"Where is the fat? I look completely okay?" Aigron glanced at Teresa's waist. Although it is indeed a little plumper than before, there is not much fat on the sides, which is still within the acceptable range , "Teresa, if you are worried, I suggest you do some exercise after giving birth, such as playing tennis with Chanel or someone else."

Although she was comforted by Aigron, Teresa still looked down at her swollen abdomen and waist with some worry.

Although she never boasted about her beauty, she was always proud of her slim figure. Although she was fulfilling her duties as a wife at this moment, she was still a little worried after all.

It can only be said that if you want to become a mother, you will naturally have to make some sacrifices.

"Maybe I can get some advice from my mother," Teresa said a little enviously. "She has given birth to several of our children and still keeps her waist so good! If I can be like her, I don't need anything." Worrying."

"Well, of course." Eggron agreed casually.

To be honest, he likes Teresa even more now.Although the waist is inevitably a little thicker, it is not unbearable. On the contrary, the originally thin figure now looks more like a woman - more importantly, her peaks are also more towering because of this... a word In other words, Teresa is now more and more graceful and graceful like the lady in the painting.
