Grasp the farming script in the famous book

It was at this moment that Roland made up his mind and planned to support the queen.

Before that, she never thought that the queen would be such a woman, sincere, trustworthy, and seemingly innocent.

Anna of Austria was ill-fated. As soon as she married Louis XIII, she was disliked by her husband and ignored by the queen mother-in-law.

At that time, she was accompanied by a dowry lady from Spain.But in the next few years, these Spanish ladies were eliminated one by one, and all the people around the queen were replaced by French, and they were purged again and again.As a result, people who were loyal to the queen left her one after another.

After all this, Anna of Austria is still willing to unconditionally trust and support a countess she met for the first time.

——This is just the first meeting between Roland and the Queen.

Anna of Austria not only generously gave Roland the appointment of "Chief Lady Officer", but also personally stood up for Roland when Roland needed it.

The fate between people is so strange.

Roland didn't know which trait in himself moved Anna of Austria.But precisely because the other party has given sincere trust, Roland also intends to reciprocate with equal enthusiasm.

The "after-hours game" she advocated is also very simple-she invites the ladies to stand in two circles inside and outside, and dance in circles to the dance music played by the band.

The music will stop abruptly without warning. At this time, the ladies in the inner circle and the outer circle facing each other need to stop and ask each other three questions: name, title and mention a hobby in life.

All the noble ladies must cheer up and not be perfunctory.Because after three turns, Roland, the organizer of the game, will randomly invite the three ladies to introduce everyone to all the "new friends" they meet.

This is a particularly simple "ice-breaking" game in later generations, which is a must for team building in large companies.But in the plane, no one has ever touched it.

The aristocratic wives who originally dismissed this had to cheer up and "cope" with this game when they saw the queen going off in person.

They were originally divided into small groups one after another according to their titles and relatives, and there seemed to be a wall between them and other noble groups.Even at the queen's banquet, they have no incentive to make "new friends".

The grouping of the big nobles is not good for the queen, but the small nobles have no reason to approach the queen and become the queen's help.

Roland simply used this simple and crude method to let them "break the ice" by themselves.

As a result, cheerful dance music reverberated in the hall - the atmosphere in the hall changed wonderfully after the elegance and majesty of the earlier court music was washed away, and the women began to put relaxed smiles on their mouths, and they were no longer as reserved as before.

But the music stopped too suddenly, the women caught off guard and hurriedly stopped dancing, smiling coquettishly and pulling the opposite person.

Some people are thankful that they already know the person opposite, while others have to face completely strange "new friends".

The pause was very short, and after 3 minutes, the dance music sounded again.Mr. de Laporte urged: "Ladies, act quickly, the next one you meet may be your future best friend who came from the other side of the French land."

The wives may have been carefully inquiring about each other according to their daily etiquette, but they would have to leave. They exchanged basic information in a hurry, kept it in their hearts, and then continued with the people who were gradually stepping on the dance. go in circles.

The dance music suddenly stopped...

As a result, the originally reserved and noble ladies gradually became more emotional.There was constant laughter in the hall.As soon as people stopped, they quickly reported their homes, and after exchanging names, they immediately talked about what they like... Some people like music and painting, while others like horseback riding and hunting, and even like Roland, they like planting and tending There are also many gardens.

When you meet someone with the same hobbies, your ladies will be surprised:

"So you also..."

"There's no one around me like that."

"We live not far from each other, we should see each other often."

"Oh, you live in Paris too..."

Before they finished warming up, the sound of dance music suddenly sounded again, and the people who had just started talking had to say goodbye temporarily, and started dancing to the beat of the dance music, looking for the next possible friend.

Roland even faced the queen once in this game.The Queen told her that her name was "Anna Maria Moricia," she was from Spain, she lived in the Louvre, and that her favorite dance was sarabande.

At this time, the song ended and the band stopped playing completely.

The noble ladies began to chat with each other excitedly, their foreheads were sweating, and they kept fanning with fans and handkerchiefs to cool their cheeks a little.

Originally, quite a few of them sneered at this kind of "unrefined" sideshow, but now they are all very excited about it.

This is mostly because of the "curiosity" rooted in human nature, not only to meet strangers who have never met, but also to inquire about their hobbies in life-this kind of opportunity is only available at the banquet of the royal palace.

Roland whispered a few words in the queen's ear.Anna from Austria nodded happily when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "Everyone, this sideshow is not to test your memory. But I think all the ladies have already met some friends who share the same interests and are willing to make friends."

"I declare, please go find those who have the same hobbies as you, get together with them, and talk to your heart's content!"

The band played a gentle and elegant music again, and gradually merged into the background behind the vocals.

The waiters once again held up the goblets containing champagne, and walked towards the people who gathered together to chat - champagne, with its refreshing taste and taste, and moderate alcohol content, is most suitable for creating an "ice-breaking" atmosphere.

The women at the banquet have returned to their original state, but their "small group" and "small circle" have been completely broken up.The wives from different places and different families temporarily put aside the differences in status and status, gathered together and had a lively chat.

Many wives like Roland, who came from small territories in remote areas, also quickly found "organizations", and with entry points, they were finally able to integrate into this relatively xenophobic class.

Now, the royal court of the Queen of France finally looks like a huge and seamless group of female relatives.

Roland heard Anna of Austria discussing dancing with several noble women from the south of France, and Madame Bonacio sneaked over at this moment and said to Roland, "Miledie, the queen is very satisfied with your performance, so you must have It is already a formal appointment. Please allow me to send you my congratulations in advance."

"Thank you……"

Just as Roland was about to say a few polite words, she suddenly felt a strong force hit her from behind.

Before she could react, Roland tilted his body and was bumped into Mrs. Bonacio.The young woman hurriedly stretched out her hands to support Roland.

With the support of Mrs. Bonacio, Roland did not completely lose her center of gravity. She immediately regained her footing. When she looked down, she found that the cashmere shawl she had been wearing on her shoulders floated to the ground at this moment.The shawl fell off, revealing Roland's round shoulders.

On these shoulders was a small half-sleeve, also of serge weave, which glowed softly in the light of the chandelier.

The semi-circular half-sleeves perfectly covered the top of her left and right shoulders.This kind of half-sleeve is extremely common outside the plane, but it is rare in this plane.Roland had been wearing a shawl before, and no one could see that the dress under her shawl still had such decorations.

Of course Roland knew the purpose of the person who bumped into her.

On her shoulder, there is a lily brand.

But... no one would think she was stupid enough to make this brand public at the queen's banquet, right?

The lily on the shoulder is Roland's most important secret in this plane. In addition to the half-sleeve on the shoulder, Roland also asks the audience outside the plane to bring in a skin-friendly sticker with exactly the same skin color as her, and stick it directly on the shoulder to temporarily cover up the branding. lest her maids, Katie and Cindy, should stumble across the lily.

But she didn't expect that there would be someone here who wanted to use this simple bump to test whether there was a brand on her shoulder.

"Mileddy, Milady... are you all right?"

Madame Bonacio hurriedly asked Roland.

Roland was just startled for a moment, and immediately regained his composure.

She Shi Shiran got up, straightened the drooping shawl in front of everyone, and slowly covered her pair of graceful snow-white upper arms.

"Constance," she asked Madame Bonacio, "who is that?"

She looked at the back in a hurry—it was a black-haired noble lady with a huge skirt.If it wasn't intentional, it would be very difficult for the lady to bump into Roland's shoulder before squeezing Roland out with her skirt.

"That is the Duchess de Minalo."

Roland pursed his lips.She had hardly any recollection of the surname.

"Please don't be offended," Madame Bonacio explained terrifiedly.

"The Duchess de Minalo is a close friend of 'her'. Hearing the Queen's words today, she may feel a little uncomfortable. Please don't blame her for being rude..."

Roland replied softly to Mrs. Bonacio: "Constance, why am I offended?"

"However, I always hear people use 'she' to refer to a noble lady in the royal court. She seems to be able to arrange the banquet more properly than me, and everyone has been following the tradition set by 'her'."

"Excuse me, who is 'she'?"

Roland directly asked Mrs. Bonacio for advice.

Mrs. Bonacio immediately shook her hands: "No, don't think so... She, she doesn't necessarily arrange everything better than you. It's just that she has unexpected new ideas every time... Oh, No, your sideshow today is also very novel, I never thought of it... I can never say that she is more appropriate than you..."

Madame Bonacio looked around when she said this, as if worried that someone would overhear her comment.

Then, the young woman whispered a name close to Roland's ear:

"The Duchess de Chevreuse."

Roland: ...So it was her!

She is now basically able to lock in the "rival" in the court, the Duchess of Luna who was previously dismissed by Louis XIII from the position of Queen's Chief Lady-this husband turned around and remarried just after his death, and now de Cheeffler In the name of the Duchess, she frequently walked around the court.
