Versailles Wild Rose

Claude pondered, "You're right, he has been serving in the Musketeers." The siblings tacitly thought of the Austrian Anna scandal.

Abigail wondered if it was because of the scandal that Louis XIII found out that he was wearing a cuckold, so he angered his wife's maid and married her to a bad guy; better marriage

Besides, she couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation.

It is said that Louis XIII had a homosexual tendency, which did not prevent him from having a royal mistress. Anna of Austria probably had no love for her husband. Abigail felt that it was not incomprehensible for her to have a lover.Anyway, people can really do great things for the lower body.

If this is the reason, the mother is really miserable, and she has to bear the punishment for the Queen Mother.

But it's all Louis XIII's fault

D'Artagnan did not attend the ball, but he was present in the ballroom to be in charge of security.

Claude suddenly approached him, but he didn't think too much about it.The Musketeers and the Royal Guard are not the same department. They are considered parallel units. They both belong to the Royal Palace Guards and have frequent contact with each other. Claude is a newcomer, and he probably hasn't figured out who his boss is.

He kindly introduced some officers of the Royal Guard to the Viscount de Umbreda, and they were all invited to the ball, wearing military uniforms with great vigor.

After chatting for a while, Claude discovered that the officers introduced by Captain D'Artagnan were all unmarried, about the same age as him, and almost all of them were the sons of earls.After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this must be for him to investigate possible sister-in-law candidates.

He very euphemistically expressed the hope that the other party would be mild-tempered, and d'Artagnan quickly grasped the spirit.

They chatted about this, but neither of them mentioned Abigail.

D'Artagnan has the sensitivity of an aristocratic officer who has been close to the center of power all year round, and it is not his turn to talk about the self-conscious harem.Anna of Austria pampered her two sons. The king liked Miss de Barberion. No matter how much she liked Abigail, she would not give up her son's idea.

The king cannot actually choose his wife, but he can choose his lover.

Abigail danced a few more dances, and now she was beside Claude, "Brother." She smiled at d'Artagnan, "Captain d'Artagnan, you can't come to the ball without dancing."

"I'm on duty, miss."

"It's just a few minutes, don't worry, no one will assassinate His Majesty in just a few minutes."

She curtseyed.

Claude also said, "You're on duty and you can't drink, but I don't think anyone would object to you having a dance."

"You will be my teacher in a few days, so let this dance be my apprenticeship ceremony."

Court dances are all group dances, where men and women circle around each other. There are several kinds of dances popular in the court, and they are all quite beautiful.

Dancing does not delay talking. If young men and women want to understand each other, they will talk more while dancing.

D'Artagnan is 50 years old this year, and he is still a middle-aged man with excellent spirit and physical strength.She has never been married, and has no mistress or illegitimate child. She is a wonderful work of the palace guards.

"Where are you from? I mean, where were you born?"

"A small town in Gascony."

"Are you a nobleman, baron knight?" There is no doubt that the attendants and guards who protect the king are of noble origin.

"My father was a baronet."

"You should be the earl now."

D'Artagnan smiled sadly, "Yes."

"Is your father still alive?"

"He is an old man who has been called by the Lord for many years."

"God bless him"

"God bless him"

"Have you been in Paris?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Where is your fief?"

"Somewhere in Normandy."

"Isn't it Gascony?"

He laughed. "It's too far away."

"I've heard a saying that the poor boy has won the king's favor and trust, and even won the title. He must return home in good clothes and show off to his former neighbors. What about you?"

He laughed again, "Indeed, you are right. You have to show off when you get the glory."

"Your father must be proud of you."

"Yeah, he's very proud"

"Tell me about your mother. What kind of woman is she?"

"She loves me very much, very much. What, why are you so interested in my experience all of a sudden?"

"It's because you are a respectable person and you are about to become my teacher. Knowing something about the teacher is what a good student should do. I don't think I should ask others. You are an honest senior , I can ask you directly."

D'Artagnan felt very relieved when he said this, "You have been honored, madam."

The dance went on until 3:[-] in the morning, and there was an informal buffet in the middle, a large number of fruit desserts were steamed and chilled with ice cubes, cold-cut fish, salmon meat, caviar, foie gras and other delicacies, and the drinks were even more delicious. Unlimited supply.

Louis XIV used to eat a lot of meat for lunch, and light for dinner, and rarely ate red meat, so as not to eat too greasy and sleep badly at night.

The choice of banquet dishes in the court is completely in accordance with the king's preferences.

Under the technical conditions of this era, the emperor tried his best to eat as good as possible, but some foods with a short shelf life were still unavailable.

Thinking about it, I really miss the era of extremely fast and fast global transportation.

Abigail likes to eat salmon with caviar and champagne.

"Why, you suddenly have a crush on Captain D'Artagnan?" the Marquise de Montière asked calmly.

"Oh, that's because Her Majesty the Queen Mother promised to let the captain teach me marksmanship and swordsmanship. I think I should at least get to know my teacher."

Mrs. de Montière reproached and said, "The captain is very busy, how can you add more work to the captain?"

"Is he busy? But he didn't say."

"Besides, you are a noble lady, so you don't need to learn things that boys only need to learn. It's meaningless."

Abigail didn't answer.

Anna of Austria took good care of her. Speaking of which, she spent almost three weeks in the Louvre, and it can be said that she was much more comfortable than staying at home. Provocative comparisons and the like, she has a steady stream of new dresses, and she can also borrow the Queen Mother's jewelry. In terms of "supporting the scene", she is the first girl in the palace.

At first, she was a little surprised that Austrian Anna was too kind to her, and she was not much worse than her daughter, but now if the mother is a scapegoat for Austrian Anna, the Queen Mother's attitude is not surprising.D'Artagnan was also very gentle to her. Even though her request was unusual, he immediately agreed without saying a word, which shows that either he knew his mother's fate back then and felt guilty; or it was because of Anna of Austria.

All in all, nothing bad.

Louie also talked to her while dancing, asking her where she learned to dance.

"Claude taught me."

"Are you close to your brother?"

"As close as you are to Your Highness."

"I don't have to doubt his loyalty."

"There is absolutely no doubt."

Louis was very satisfied, "Let him stay in the royal guard for a few months first, and when there is a vacancy in the imperial guard, I will transfer him immediately."

"Tell it to Claude, I don't know much about it."

He smiled approvingly, "You don't need to know too much. Anyway, I'll make arrangements for you and your family. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of bastard. Do you have any family?"

"A sister, with her husband, and her three children."

"Where's your father, I seem to have been introduced to him a few minutes ago."

"He's nothing. I don't like him because he's been mean to my mother."

"Can you treat them separately? After all, he is the man who gave you life." Louis asked curiously.

Abigail wondered if the king didn't know that the biological father on the household registration may not be the "biological father". In this era, the old king next door has a high proportion of cubs. Men have illegitimate children outside, and the wife at home may not be chaste. I will wear a cuckold for my husband, anyway, it's all the same.

She smiled without answering.

On the surface, Louis is exposed to both rain and dew, making it unclear which woman he has his eyes on now.The king doesn't need to hide his eyes and ears, probably just for fun.

Christine is beautiful, with bright eyes and a gentle temperament. She is a typical noble girl raised by traditional lady education. Meekness is a virtue that is praised. I don’t know what her true temperament is in private.

The other girl is his current mistress, the daughter of a certain baron. She is also very beautiful, but she is of two types of beauty with Christine. She is smaller than Jiabiyu, with a small face, small nose and small mouth, and her eyes are not like Christine's. nice.

There are several other young girls or young ladies who all have in common that they are beautiful.Louis has a good sense of aesthetics, and non-beauties cannot enter his sight.But, as Anna Austria said, it is easy for a king to become interested in a certain beauty, but he loses interest just as quickly.

Like anything in this world, you don't appreciate what you get too easily.

"I want a house, or a villa. I want my sister to come to Paris and bring the children."

He looked at her interestingly, "What about your brother-in-law?"

"He can come too, but he is easy to listen to others, and you can send him to do some small things."

"It's not a big deal. I'll tell Bontang to find you a suitable villa."

"You are very kind."

He smiled and quickly pinched her cheek.

That night, Abigail also had an audience with the Duke of Orleans, Gaston de Bourbon, and the eldest daughter of the Duke of Orleans, Grand Princess Anne-Marie-Louis de Orleans.

The Duke of Orleans was exiled by the king before, but was actually exiled by Bishop Mazarin. Until today, taking advantage of the great opportunity of the king's birthday celebration, the king invited his uncle and his cousin to come to Paris to announce the reconciliation.

Louis XIV had mixed feelings about his uncle, who had fought for decades to unseat the king.No matter which king would hate this kind of "rebellious officials and thieves", he must be put to death as soon as possible, but he is his father's younger brother, related by blood, and has a large group of noble supporters. He cannot simply and rudely kill his uncle head.The precedent of the Civil War in England is still there, and France cannot also engage in a civil war.

After a cordial greeting with the Duke of Orleans, Louis left his uncle to his mother to deal with.

He introduces Abigail to his cousin.

The name "adeoisee" of the great princess is an exclusive noun, and only the eldest daughter of the king's eldest brother can have this title.Eleven years older than Louie, she is 11 and still unmarried.

The king's marriage is a national event. Abigail has heard from Anna of Austria that Louis is very likely to marry the Spanish princess, and Philip's bride candidate is not only Princess Henrietta of England, but also the eldest daughter of the Duke of Orleans. A few years older, but the royal family has never cared about this age difference.

Before the Duke of Orleans was exiled, he often lived in the Louvre. It can be said that the princess watched the two little cousins ​​grow up.But maybe because they are too close, the princess himself never considered the two cousins, thinking that they are still little children.

The eldest princess has a plump figure, and her appearance is not very beautiful in all fairness. The masculine hooked nose destroys the beauty of her appearance.She is very kind, and her relationship with her cousins ​​is obviously good, and she is much more popular than her father.

She held Abigail's arm affectionately, "Dear Abigail, I haven't been to Paris for several years, tell me quickly, what is popular in the palace now"

"Which aspects are you referring to?"

"For example, my dear cousin has come up with a new way to play"

"As far as I know, those are the same ones, nothing new."

"Who is the boy next to Your Highness?" The princess pretended to cover her face with a jeweled lace fan while winking.

"That should be the bishop's nephew, Philip Jules Mancini."

This "other Muncini" was Mary Muncini's younger brother, who had just turned 17.It is said that Julius lured Wang Di to bed, and Wang Di was opened to another world from then on.

The princess frowned disdainfully, "Another Mazarinette"

Five Muncini siblings, plus two Martinez sisters, are called "Mazarinette azaries" in the palace. Mary Muncini is Louis' first love, and Julius Muncini is Philip's. The first same-sex lover.

When Abigail arrived at the Louvre, the Muncini sisters had been sent away, not in Paris, and had not returned for the king's birthday celebration; Julius left with the sisters and returned only yesterday.

When Julius came back, Philip played only with Julius, and the Chevalier sulked all night.

The aunt of the Knight of Lorraine is the current Duchess of Orleans, and the Lorraine brothers are accompanying the Duchess of Orleans at the moment.The princess had no objection to her stepmother. She inherited her own mother's property and title. If she had money, she would be happy, and her stepmother could not affect her good mood.

"My lord bishop is all for His Majesty's benefit. No matter how beautiful Mary Mancini is, she can't compare with the crown." The princess pinched Abigail's chin, "As for you, don't care about that Mancini."

She looked at the princess in confusion.

"Mouncini is Italian, do you understand?"

Ah, I see.Speaking of which, Bishop Mazarin really thought about his nieces. Mancini is a foreigner, and Mary Mancini can become a royal mistress, but as long as Mazarin dies, Mary Mancini, the royal mistress, will definitely be killed. abandon.

Rather than being abandoned by the king miserably in the future, it would be more cost-effective to arrange a very cost-effective marriage for the nieces while the bishop still has some negotiating capital.

And she is French, and she is the daughter of Austrian Anna's former maid. Her elder brother is a member of the royal guard, and she is likely to become the captain of the royal guard in the future, or the foreman of the imperial guard. Her life will be much easier. In the future, the queen I can't do anything to her.

The Chevalier of Lorraine invites Abigail to dance.

He came to complain to her. "Look, that damned Muncini," he said angrily.

"It doesn't look good on him"

"Very unpleasant."

"I'll teach you to find a few people, put him in a sack, drag him into a corner, and beat him hard."

The Lorraine knight was amused, "He lives in the bishop's mansion, I'm afraid it's not so easy to wear a sack."

"Idiot, will you imitate His Highness's handwriting?"

"good."

"You write a note to Muncini, and then"

They are all smart people, so there is no need to finish all the words, the Lorraine knight immediately understood, "Good idea. But what if His Highness finds out and gets angry with me?"

"Just beat up an Italian, how can he be angry? Then you go hide with your brother for a few days."

"It's really yours." He was happy, his eyebrows beaming, "Just beating him can't relieve my anger, you can help me find a way to get rid of him completely."

"Okay, after the birthday celebration, tell me about Muncini."

After a dance, Louis Lorraine came to invite her.

"Your Majesty said, don't cut in the door tonight."

Abigail was startled, "what" what the hell

The young attendant was a little awkward, "I am the fool, not the king."

After knowing that Louis is a cheater, after looking for it, he actually found Louis Lorraine.

When I thought of my first night being given away like this, I felt something was wrong no matter how I thought about it, very wrong.

"But I don't even know you."

"You know who I am, and that's enough."

"No, I don't like you. You're too young to know what to do."

"I've been a man for a long time." Louis Lorraine straightened his thin chest.

"Is it who"

He was at a loss for words, and after a while he said, "Don't you know what's going on? Go back and ask Claude."

Don't ask him, "Don't you dare to tell me, I'll tell His Majesty that I hate you."

He looked at her angrily, as if judging whether she would really sue the king like this.

Then he gave in, "A boy from a noble family will be married to an older woman when he is 145 years old. In short, you don't have to worry about my body at all. I am a man now, and I know what to do."

"I thought His Majesty would find me an older man, 30 years old, or no, 30 years old is my upper limit. Forget it, the old man may have experience, but he may have been to something not so good place."

Louis Lorraine sneered, "You can just say brothel, can't you?"

"Correct."

"Well, I agree that it can be you, but not tonight, in a few days. You have to walk with me more, and I need to get to know you better."

Louis Lorraine also seemed relieved, "I agree."
