Versailles Wild Rose

Abigail asked in surprise, "What is she trying to do?"

Veronica spoke humorously, "Maybe I just don't know what I can do."

The gypsy woman said, "She didn't speak ill of you, madam, but praised you all day long for your beauty and kindness."

Pride and killing, she understands this.Louis has been busy negotiating with the missions for the past few days, and has a headache all day because of the terms, so he can't think of Miss Vanessa at all.After all, Vanessa is not the kind of superficial woman who only knows how to swear at her rivals. She actively makes new friends so that she can gain a firm foothold in the court.People instinctively sympathize with the loser, because it doesn't take much effort to use a tone full of pity from above, and they will be regarded as friendly friends by the other party.

Oh, this Miss Vanessa is not easy, she is eight blocks better than Athena

He also tried his best to make friends with Ansili. Ansili is actually very simple and kind-hearted, without any evil intentions, which is rare in the court.She was actually a little worried that Ansili would be used by Vanessa.

As for Paris, the other maid, it was probably too young for Vanessa to deal with her.

In order to avoid trouble, Abigail chose relatively simple girls. Paris is a bit talkative, but she is the kind of girl who talks about everything without knowing the importance. If you don’t let her know too much, she has nothing to mess with. Said, so Abigail usually sends her out to deliver something, send a message or something.

Vanessa probably knew that Paris had no access to any important matters, so she only focused on Ansley.

"Go ask Ansley to come over."

She was playing cards in the game room, accompanied by Paris Veronica and the gypsy woman. Anseli said that she was not feeling well at noon and went back to her room to rest.

Ansili came over quickly, "Ma'am."

"Are you feeling better?"

"I'm much better." Her hair was loose, and she looked as if she had just woken up.

"Clare, comb Miss Ansley's hair. Come on, sit down and let's play cards for a while."

Today I am playing a kind of card similar to "running fast". There is no clown, the smallest card is 2, and a is the largest. It is not a straight, but a flush, and 4 cards of the same suit are considered a trump card.The pattern is also different, it is a rose pattern, there are 4 different rose colors red white black yellow or gold.This card game played with rose cards is called "Wars of the Roses".

Abigail prefers to play this kind of card game with simple rules. She also asked someone to specially make several cards with different patterns, and hand-printed more than a dozen pairs. The rose patterns are all stroked with gold powder.This new pattern of playing cards quickly took hold in the salons, and it is now popular to play "Wars of the Roses" in the palace.

Abigail’s custom-made playing cards are all gold leaf card backs, and the cards are hand-painted. In addition to the pattern with gold powder strokes, the edges of the cards are also pasted with gold powder. When the cards are stacked in a stack, it is a stack of gold. small pieces of paper.

The gypsy woman has also quickly learned the new card game, skillfully cutting and dealing cards.

"Ansili, what did Vanessa tell you?" Abigail asked directly.

"What?" Ansili was a little dazed, "She didn't look for me."

"I didn't find you today, what about yesterday?"

Only then did An Sili suddenly realize, "Oh yes, she came to see me yesterday. She asked me what candied fruit you like to eat."

What do you mean? Abigail didn't understand.With such a direct question, she definitely couldn't flatter her and give her food, and then poison her. She is not such a stupid person.

"Just say I like candied roses. Why, Pauline, see if there are any more candied roses. Bring some."

The young lady loves candied fruit, fruit candied flower and candied fruit, all of which are welcome.The king didn't like these snacks at first, but now he is used to bringing a pack of honey-soaked lemon slices wherever he goes.

Candied fruit can also be eaten as a snack, or soaked in water to drink.

"Can I tell her that?" Ansili asked stupidly.

"There's nothing you can't tell her. You can also ask her if she wants to give me a present."

An Sili was confused, "I'm worried that she's going to trick me, so I dare not tell her anything."

It seems that simple and honest people are also good. At least she is not so stupid that she can't think about what the other party has in mind.

"You can accept whatever you give, but I think she will definitely give it to me in person." It's meaningless to give gifts if you don't give them to me in person.

Now someone has given her gifts, money, jewelry, and a house. Most of them want to ask her to speak well in front of His Majesty, so that His Majesty can sign a charter.

In addition to land rent, the income of nobles depends on various charters.The scope of the charter includes all natural minerals. That is to say, only the land of your field is yours. If there are any gold mines, silver mines, coal mines, or iron mines on your land, in fact, you cannot directly dig the ground and mine it. It must be obtained by the government. Give you a charter and you have to pay taxes so that you can mine.All mines actually belong to the state, that is, to the king, and individuals only own land ownership and mining rights.

She roughly calculated that if she relied on receiving gifts, she would have an extra income of at least 10 livres a year, which was as little as possible.She lamented that it was unexpectedly easy to get money after gaining status, and it was no wonder that all the people in the palace wanted to do their best to stay and build a good relationship with the king and His Highness.

Ansili looked at the gypsy woman and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid she has some bad thoughts about you. She must be very jealous of you."

"What else can she do?" What are Gong Dou's means? "Push me while I'm going downstairs, make me fall down the stairs and break my neck"

Ansili's face turned pale, "No way"

Abigail couldn't help laughing, "No, she can't get close to me. The meaning of you following me is not to let others get close to me."

"Ma'am, you are really scaring me to death."

"She's not that stupid. There is no direct conflict between me and her. Her purpose is to replace me as Louis' mistress. If she pushes me downstairs and kills me, Louis will kill her immediately. Don't worry. Well, she won't kill me, but she might try to make me miscarry."

The gypsy woman nodded.

An Sili's face turned white again just after she relaxed a bit, "Then I'll tell her, don't even think about giving you anything to eat."

"You, you still haven't learned how to face this situation."

Anseli didn't understand.

"If she dares to give it to me, she dares to accept it. I am the king's royal mistress, and I am not afraid of other people's tricks. Do you know what absolute power brings?"

"What is it?" Both Ansley and Paris asked.

"It's the control under the power. The reason why I let her stay in the palace is not because I'm afraid that the king will think of her and go to her again, but because she doesn't need me to spend energy to deal with it. I just need one sentence She can only get out, so I am not afraid of her. And she is afraid that I will drive her away, so she will definitely please me. "

"Then you said she would cause you to have a miscarriage."

"Oh, if she doesn't dare try to abort me, I'll be wrong about her."

Ansili really didn't understand what the hostess was thinking.

Veronica didn't understand either, "Ma'am, you should drive her away, and don't let her stay in the palace all the time."

"If she thinks it through and asks me to find a reliable husband for her, then I can make the decision for her."

"Ma'am, you are really strange. If it was another lady, she would have been driven away a long time ago."

"You don't understand. She didn't hinder my interests. I don't need to push her into a hurry. A woman with no way out will be very scary. If she feels that her life is hopeless, she will probably consider revenge on me and kill me. "

"I still don't understand. Or, go and find someone to propose to her, marry her, and leave Paris."

This is a good idea, "Well, it's better this way. Let Ansili ask her what she means in a few days." It may be a good choice for Vanessa to get acquainted with Ansley. Nissa might actually tell her.

Adrian came to the Louvre for the first time.

Indeed, the legend is right. The Louvre is much more magnificent than the Royal Palace in Madrid. The palace is magnificent, with exquisitely patterned wallpapers, well-made daily necessities, exquisite royal portraits, and magnificent religious murals. I am very interested in religious paintings, which is due to the self-consciousness of a monk.

And what's more, those high-spirited guards are also very interesting. They are good-looking, strong, and dignified.

Marquis Elvira took him directly to meet Her Majesty the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, this is my eldest son, Adrian." The Marquis bowed slightly to Anna of Austria.

Adrian didn't wear a monk's robe today, but wore a long coat that fit his identity.The Spanish aristocrats also wore French-style clothing. They were all white shirts, lace scarves, sleeveless long vests, and embroidered long-sleeved jackets on the outside.

Both father and son wore cuffed hats with feathers, which they took off and held in their hands when they entered the queen mother's antechamber.

"Good day, count."

Adrian is the eldest son of the Marquis and has the title of Earl.

"Hello, Your Majesty the Supreme Queen Mother."

"Come here, let me take a good look at you. You are much more beautiful than your father when you were young."

"How old was I when you left Madrid." The Marquis smiled. "You haven't even seen me when I was a teenager."

Austrian Anna looked sad, "Yeah, when I left Madrid, I was just a teenager."

Adrian was a little surprised when he said this. His father was very familiar with the young princess back then. Princess Anna could see her father at a certain age, which meant that her grandfather or grandmother often entered the palace.

"Does Your Majesty remember Madrid?" Adrian asked.

"I remember, but I forgot more." Austrian Anna smiled, "It's been so many years."

Adrian thought about it, the princess never returned to her motherland after marrying in France, and never saw her parents and siblings again, so maybe she really didn't have any family ties.

Weird.

The author has something to say about how much older the Spanish sister is than Claude, and she certainly cannot be the Spanish princess.

年龄顺序是雷尼奥32岁西班牙姐姐30岁左右克劳德27岁罗莎琳娜26岁路易20岁菲利普18岁阿德里安17岁阿比盖尔16岁亨利埃塔14岁。

Amelia was the same age as Anna of Austria, and also the same age as Louis XIII.

When Louis XIII died, Claude was 12 years old, Rosalina was 11 years old, Louis was 5 years old, Philippe was 3 years old, Abigail was 1 year old, and Henrietta was not born.

Adrian just "saw" Abigail, but the two hadn't officially met yet, so there was no such thing as a "strategy". ,,
