Grasp the farming script in the famous book

Roland originally thought that the queen of Louis XIII, Anna of Austria, was another contestant in the "Three Musketeers Plane" and her "opponent".

Unexpectedly, after close contact, Roland felt that compared with modern people, this queen showed incomparable innocence and piety.

Of course, there are many people outside the plane who are naive, but few people are as devout as Anna.

Roland silently crossed off Anna's status as a "player" in his heart - there should be someone else who exerted influence in the French court and caused so many changes.

"Countes de Raphael, I am moved by your piety and thrift. I really regret proposing to give you a diamond necklace rashly... Your beauty really does not need these external things."

Anna looked at Roland, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

So she said something that shook the entire palace in Amiens.

"Madame, I intend to appoint you as the chief female officer beside me to replace Madame de Chevreuse. Would you like it?"

The Madame de Chevreuse in the Queen's mouth was the former Duchess of Luna who caused the Queen to have a miscarriage and thus brought Louis XIII into trouble.After the Duke of Luna died, the Duchess turned around and married the Duke of Chevreuse of the Lorraine family.Although deprived of the position of chief female officer, this lady can also enter the royal court and exert influence on the queen.

Roland thought for a while and said to Anna: "Excuse me, chief attendant lady, do you need to take care of everything around you?"

Anna nodded gently: "Yes, except for me, you have the right to say everything about people and things around me."

Anna's suggestion obviously surprised those around her.

The older woman who had been sitting behind Anna stood up at this moment and whispered something to the queen in Spanish.Princess Maria opened her unworldly eyes, while Madame Bonacio lowered them obediently to conceal her delight.

Obviously, before Anna met Roland, Mrs. Bonacio said a lot of good things for Roland.

Roland thought for a moment, nodded gently, and said to the queen: "However, how do I know that with my shallow talent, the decision I made would suit your appetite, and you won't be angry because I'm reckless, reckless and inexperienced?" ?”

No one around answered the phone.

Probably no one would have thought that Roland might refuse the appointment proposed by the queen himself.

However, Roland's intention was not to refuse at all.After questioning herself extremely "modestly", she finally made a suggestion: "Would you like me to take care of the dinner tonight?"

"If my arrangement satisfies you, it's not too late for you to decide on my appointment?"

Roland's suggestion was immediately approved by Anna.The queen nodded hurriedly: "Okay, very good. You just let it go. Mr. de Laporte—"

Anna called the court attendant who had been accompanying him in a corner all the time: "Send me a message, all arrangements for tonight's dinner, food and entertainment, are temporarily subject to the arrangement of the countess."

The queen's confidant immediately nodded in response, and looked up at Roland's face carefully. It seemed that he was also surprised for a moment, and immediately bowed his head and retreated.

"My lady," said the Queen in Spanish, "I entrust everything to you now."

Roland nodded and was about to step back.

Princess Maria, who was sitting beside Anna, said loudly, "Countess, please stay."

"You just said that your wish is to wear the same clothes and eat the same food as the people in your territory. Are they also wearing such gorgeous clothes like you?"

The princess turned to the queen lively: "If 'she' were here now, she would definitely be fascinated by such beautiful clothes. 'She' has the best eye for clothes."

Roland looked down at the dress on her body, couldn't help it, and smiled: Isn't this a good opportunity for her to promote Serge? ——But who is the "she" in the princess's mouth?

"Your Royal Highness, I appreciate your compliment on the beauty of this cloth... But you need to know that this kind of cloth looks light and shiny, but it's not expensive at all."

"It's spun from cheap common wool and cotton. In my lands, the average person can afford it."

So Roland reported the cost of her entire outfit from top to bottom, from the queen to the princess, from the maid in court to the lady sitting near the queen.Everyone looked weird, it should be the price of Roland's whole body, maybe not worth a fraction of one of their items.

The court and nobles are proud of luxurious and expensive clothing.They use the extravagant life to create a desirable illusion to stabilize their rule.

Otherwise, the French royal family would not hold a third-level meeting because of bankruptcy in the future, which would trigger the "big turmoil" that lasted for decades.

So Roland was wearing a particularly cheap outfit, which in itself was nothing to be proud of.

But the problem is that Roland's outfit looks no less inferior than the fancy clothes worth dozens or hundreds of Pistors!

Except that there is no complicated embroidery on the material, this gorgeous dress is the best choice in terms of color and style.Roland herself has a great figure, even without the corset and corset, she still looks so graceful that people can't take their eyes off her.

Anna is a devout Catholic, knowing that it should not be too extravagant, she nodded her head and asked Mr. de Laporte to write down this kind of clothing material called "serge" for future court purchases.

Mr. de Laporte responded while complimenting: "In the future, the countess will become your chief female officer, and she will preside over all these things?"

The queen nodded repeatedly, seeming to think it made sense.

Roland left the hall with the court attendants.She went to the kitchen first and checked the food prepared for the feast.

The food was the same: oysters, white fish ready to be sliced ​​into sashimi, lemons... all kinds of fancy but tasteless side dishes.

Roland thought for a while, patted his hands, and greeted the cooks: "Let's do it! Let's fry these fish."

Freshly opened oysters are fine, those sashimi can neither avoid the influence of parasites nor guarantee freshness.It's not as good as fried.

"But, 'she', 'she' has ordered in advance, today's banquet..."

The imperial chefs hesitated to speak.

Roland narrowed his eyes slightly: "Her?"

The chefs don't know if it is difficult to speak in front of the beautiful lady.

"She...she is..."

At this time, Mr. de Laporte, the court attendant next to the queen, spoke: "The queen's will, everything at the dinner tonight is subject to this lady."

So the royal chefs understood and took out the frying pans one after another.

Roland also wanted to inquire about the situation of "her". After entering the plane, that person obviously wanted to improve the cumbersome and cumbersome contemporary French food, and wanted to follow the path of Japanese food, but failed.

But time was running out, so Roland hurriedly directed the people to fry the fish until it was tender and juicy, served with a sauce made of butter, egg yolk and herbs, cut into small pieces, and spread it on the surface until it was slightly browned. On the bread, it is convenient for people to take it.

During this period, Roland discovered that there were still lobsters in the kitchen, which were piled up in a corner of the kitchen. For some reason, no one cared about them, and they were almost wasted.

She hastened to have the lobsters cooked in butter as well, and the tails were removed and spread on top of the salad on a small plate.

There was no time to change the drinks, so the champagne prepared earlier was simply served.

Seeing that Roland had overturned most of "her" arrangements, most of the imperial chefs secretly breathed a sigh of relief - after all, cooking cooked food is the field they are familiar with, unlike the sashimi, no matter what "she" said, they all It is difficult to master the method of cutting fish "by grain" in a short period of time, so that the fish fillets have an "incomparably beautiful luster".

Roland almost got the kitchen ready for all of this in the shortest possible time.Almost at the same time as the last piece of lobster tail was placed on the plate, the bell rang, indicating that it was time to serve the dishes. The court servants in formal dresses lined up and stood at the door of the kitchen, waiting for the finished dishes to be served.

All the finished dishes are served in small dishes. The fried fish drenched in sauce can be picked up by hand, and the lobster tail salad can be enjoyed easily with a small spoon.

The queen's banquet was ingenious and informal.

And the food at the banquet also gave people the greatest freedom.

When Roland finished his work in the kitchen and returned to the hall, Mrs. Bonacio had already rushed over excitedly, as if she wanted to convey the words of praise to Roland.

Roland smiled and asked her, "Constance, can you take me to the band?"

Mrs. Bonacio was startled, and immediately remembered that the queen had also ordered the countess to be in charge of the sideshow.She nodded quickly, ran all the way, and led Roland to find the band.

Roland asked if they could play the repertoire she wanted, and the violinist who was the leader of the band was very surprised: "'She' said that the performance of the palace orchestra needs to maintain an elegant style, what you said...would it be too vulgar ?”

Roland almost wanted to roll her eyes and tell them that "vulgarity is elegance", but she held back and said with a smile: "This is not a diplomatic occasion, why should everyone put on airs? I am used to listening to elegant and soft concertos. , how about some country dance music to liven up the atmosphere, what do you think?"

One band member also wants to distinguish: "But 'she'..."

The leading violinist looked at Mrs. Bonacio's gesture and said, "Madame, since this is the authority entrusted to you by the queen, we will obey your orders."

So, after the guests enjoyed the delicious food freely and easily, the band suddenly changed its style and played a simple and cheerful dance music.

This change in music style immediately startled all the noble ladies in the hall.

"It's not 'her' style, and it definitely wouldn't be if 'she' was still at court."

Several noble ladies who seemed to have lived in Paris for a long time and knew the court very well made a conclusion immediately.

They saw that Roland came out more and more, standing in front of people with dignity.

"Hey, this is the Countess de la Ferrell. Compared with 'her', it really can't be compared. She is simply a country bumpkin from other provinces." The ladies commented this way.

"Everyone," said Roland loudly, "the queen and princess invited everyone to the palace today. It was not a formal audience with a serious atmosphere. It is the queen and princess who hope that everyone will be happy and comfortable in Amiens, and that they can make friends and complete the work together. The upcoming diplomatic ceremony."

This is her speculation about the royal family's intention to hold this banquet. The queen should hope that these noble women in the hall can get to know each other in advance, and that they can sincerely cooperate and support each other in front of the British wedding team.

"So, let's play a little game!"

Roland said with a smile.

Games were very common at court banquets.

But those noble ladies who came to Amiens from Paris with the queen and princess obviously had a prejudice against Roland.

Although the band played the dance music cheerfully, they stood in place one by one, showing a look of indifference.

But this state did not last long.

All of a sudden, the noble ladies' expressions moved, and they stepped forward to Roland one by one.

Because they saw Queen Anna getting up and walking towards Roland—the queen of France actually came down to support Roland herself.
