Versailles Wild Rose
Chapter 57
"Abby, come and take a look." He took a roll of drawings in his hand and spread them out on the table. "This is a drawing that my father ordered someone to draw when he was alive. Come and take a look."
The drawing is not too big, it is slightly larger than a writing desk, and it has a bird's-eye view of the palace's appearance drawn with black ink lines.The main body of the palace is in the style of a traditional French palace, with a horizontal main hall and a vertical wing on each side.In front of the palace are courtyards and pools, as well as some ancillary facilities.
Abigail was disappointed, "Is this the Palace of Versailles?"
"The design was outdated, it was no longer suitable, and my father sadly passed away before he could start building the palace."
"too small."
"I also think it's too young. My father just wanted to build a hunting palace."
"What do you want to build it into?"
"I haven't figured it out yet. Anyway, as you said, Versailles will become the center of France and the center of Europe." Louis looked smug, "And I will become a great king."
"Of course you will become a great king, and people will remember you hundreds of years later." She rolled up the drawing and handed it to the maid, "At that time, you will be the greatest king of France."
He's flattered by this flattery, and there's nothing more enjoyable than a woman you like complimenting you.
At the same time, Philip, who had already arrived at the Castle of Santa Cruz, temporarily forgot about Abigail.
The 18-year-old young man is actually still a big boy. He has just begun to evolve into a man and has a clearer concept of his "property".Seeing your own castle with your own eyes is completely different from just seeing the name of "so-and-so castle" on a document.
"I am the master of my territory", this control makes people full of confidence.
He was so pleased with himself that he walked up and down the castle, visited the dining-room, ball-room, and banquet-hall, and went upstairs, and visited the bedrooms and guest rooms.
"Where do you want to live?" the Knight of Lorraine asked knowingly.
"Master bedroom. You live here, don't live too far away, I'll give Abigail the apartment closest to me."
The Lorraine knight looked at him incredulously, "Are you crazy? Your Majesty may not care too much because you are his younger brother, but if you always provoke him, he will definitely teach you a lesson. Abigail You are very beautiful, but there are so many beautiful girls that you don't have to anger His Majesty."
"What can he do to me before putting me under house arrest?" Philip said angrily.
"Oh my god" the Lorraine knight nervously ran to the door to check, making sure that there were no servants outside, and closed the door carefully, "Don't say it, don't say it"
Philip said angrily, "Look at you, you're afraid of that."
"Your Majesty won't kill you, but if someone kills me in private, he won't even frown."
"He won't kill you." Philip walked up and down the room. "Brother Wang gave her Versailles. Tell me, if I give her Santa Cruz, will she accept it?"
"She won't accept it," the Lorraine knight shook his head, "she will be afraid of His Majesty."
Philip didn't say anything, but his face was a little strange.
The Barberion Manor is somewhere in the countryside of Rouen, and this area is the territory of Barberion.There are other smaller nobles in his domain, and Rosalina lives in a manor about 50 kilometers west of the manor.
Nicholas was the only son of the baroness couple. Both sisters were married, the elder of the two sisters was betrothed, and the other was still young and not yet betrothed.
According to Abigail's understanding, the son of the baron marries the daughter of the earl, and Rosalina is considered to be married off. The baron's family doesn't say that they treat their daughter-in-law as a fairy, but they don't look down upon it, right?
Rosalina was not welcomed by her mother-in-law, and she thought she had an affair with the baron, and even said that she gave birth to the baron's child. This kind of thing leaked out somehow, and Rosalina's reputation plummeted. Now, no one invites her to the ball .
She has been living this miserable and depressing life for two years, and even dare not take her two young daughters back to raise her.
Abigail's letter was given to her by Nicholas, and the wax on the letter paper has been broken.
She was depressed, but she couldn't show it on her face.
But the content of this letter surprised her greatly.Abigail declared that she was already the mistress of the royal family, and the king gave her a house in Paris, asking her to go to Paris with her children and husband immediately after receiving the letter.He also said that his elder brother was already a bodyguard of the royal guard and became the king's confidant. The king promised to give his elder brother a title, and he also promised to give Nicholas a title.
She thought that Abigail was really smart. Using the title as a bait, the baroness would definitely want one more title, so they wouldn't stop her from going to Paris.
"Where's the father?"
"Going to your house."
Heh, the old bastard went to another old bastard.It appears that the Baron wanted to confirm what Abigail had said in his letter.
She folded the letter and carefully put it away in a jewelry box.
"Get ready, we're going to Paris." She said to Nicholas with a smile.
Although the husband was too mild-tempered, fortunately he didn't listen to the Baroness's nonsense and was very kind to her and the children.Claude sent his twin daughters home, and Nicholas took them with him almost everywhere, loving his daughters more than their eldest son.
"Okay." Nicholas nodded.
The two daughters sat on the floor, babbling and speaking their own language, having fun.
"Go and bring the young master." Rosalina ordered the maid.
"Abigail said she wanted you to write a reply, you should write now and tell her and Claude that we will leave tomorrow morning." Nicholas also couldn't wait to leave home.
Rosalina lowered her eyes, "Mother won't let us go, tell him, Abigail wants me and the children to go to Paris, she, she, don't make Abigail unhappy."
"As long as father confirms that Abigail is really the mistress of the royal family, mother will never dare to stop you."
Rosalina let out a long sigh, sat down in front of the writing table, took out the letter paper, took the quill from the pen holder, dipped it in the ink, and began to write the letter.
"Dear Abigail"
Lorraine, Duchy of Lorraine, near Verdun.
The life of exile had little effect on Count de Teteslan, who still went out to race every day and attended dances every now and then.
The abominable king did send someone to watch him, but he successfully corrupted the imperial guard while walking on the road. The guard promised to write a letter to "truthfully report" the count's whereabouts. The count stayed at home every day, devoutly serving God, and changed his mind , a new life.
After returning to the castle, Reinho asked his treasurer to sort out his financial situation. His finances are not a problem, and he can have a fixed income of at least 20 livres a year; there are also fixed assets, two castles and two manors A large forest, many small villages and several small cities, the total value is between 150 million and 200 million livres, but the fixed assets are difficult to realize, and of course they will not be realized; in addition, there are uncertain income from gemstones, and the time to do this business Not long, and an average of 10 livres a year.
There are also some jewelry and some cash.
It's true that it's not very rich, and it can't be compared with a king, but it is definitely more than enough to support Abigail and future children.
He has never been so eager to get a woman, and wants to give her everything he has, money, jewels, real estate, castles, and himself.His love for that beauty came quickly and fiercely, and lasted a long time.
He doesn't write to her often, thinking that he can't be by her side, no matter how beautiful the love words are on paper, they will lose their meaning, but as long as he has the opportunity to see her, he will definitely say all the love words he knows listen to her.
He kept a clerk and a maid by her side. Claire couldn't write, so she reported through Lucien that she learned that the lady's menstrual period had passed for a few days.
He couldn't wait to get back to Paris and was preparing for it.Although the imperial guards were corrupted by him, but the owner of the guards is the king, maybe he will actually report to the king. He has made arrangements before, and today he will implement the plan for the imperial guards, so the king's envoy has no time to check Where the hell did he go.
That night, Regno rode on his horse after dark and returned to Paris with a few of his confidantes.
Abigail and Louis stayed in Versailles for two nights and returned to Paris in the afternoon of the third day.
Louis XIV in Versailles seems to be different from Louis XIV in the Louvre.
Maybe without the admiration of the nobles and courtiers, he would not be so drifting.After all, he is just a young man who has just turned 20 years old. He has not yet been in power, and he has not fully understood how fascinating power is.
He took Abigail for a walk in the forest. Versailles in autumn is not bad, the scenery can be regarded as beautiful, with a natural wild charm.And it hasn't rained for a few days, the weather is nice and cool, but not too cold.
Abigail, who doesn't make noise, doesn't lose her temper and doesn't say harsh words, looks like a cute and lovely young girl, gentle and soft. He stayed in Versailles for a few days, and felt that his relationship with her has greatly increased. Those messy annoying things in the floating palace, they are like a pair of ordinary newly married couples.
"We must come to Versailles often in the future." Abigail said with a smile in a good mood.
"I'd love to be with you too, just the two of us." Intimate nose to nose. "If we have a daughter, I'll give her a title, Princess Versailles, what do you think sounds nice?"
"It sounds good." The question of whether the princess can be given the title is put aside for the time being.
"When she becomes an adult, I will make her the Duchess of Versailles, but this palace cannot be given to her, it is yours."
"Do you like your daughter?"
"I like it, as long as she looks like you."
She loves to hear that.After she figured out that her daughter would not be forced to marry a king she had never met before, she felt that it was not bad, and it might be the best destination for girls in this era.She can choose a son-in-law from a large number of second sons of the duke and royal family. There are so many royal families in Europe, the elector family and the duke family, and she will definitely be able to choose a suitable boy.
She felt that she was a little funny. Before the child had a shadow, she had already thought about the child's future marriage.
The carriage suddenly shook a few times and stopped.
Louis knocked on the car door and asked the guard, "Why did you stop?"
Claude rode over, "Your Majesty, there is a big hole on the road ahead. There was no such hole when we came here three days ago."
"Hurry up and send someone to fill the pit, or get a few planks to cover the pit." Louis said impatiently.
Paris, Louvre.
Anna of Austria is in the living room of the palace. A 123-year-old girl is sitting in an armchair, reading a book of love.The room was very quiet, save for the childish voice of a girl, and the faint crackling of the wood burning in the fireplace.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and someone hurried in.
It was D'Artagnan, his face was pale, and his voice was a little flustered, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, something happened to the king's carriage."
The author has something to say, and I am very anxious. I know that you all want to watch dog blood doing things, but you can't make things too intensive, otherwise you will be aesthetically tired and very tired.
Although Renio was exiled, he wanted to sneak back to Paris, where to find out? He just couldn't show up in the palace blatantly.
Guess who has an accident without a prize. ,,
The drawing is not too big, it is slightly larger than a writing desk, and it has a bird's-eye view of the palace's appearance drawn with black ink lines.The main body of the palace is in the style of a traditional French palace, with a horizontal main hall and a vertical wing on each side.In front of the palace are courtyards and pools, as well as some ancillary facilities.
