Versailles is worse than being queen

◎Witches have unique taste◎

When Antania was called out from the room of the iron forge by Louis, she was guessing in her heart that this should be something that the Duke of Lavorgón made in the previous life——

Is it to eavesdrop on her conversation with the maid and sue the prince?

Does it mean that she has a second heart for the prince and seduces men everywhere?

Or lure Louis away and find someone else to hum to her from the window: "Austrian bitch!"

These are all real experiences in her previous life.

So in his previous life, the Duke of Lavorgón had a very bad end. After all, stupid people will not end well.

In her previous life, she lived alone in the Palace of Versailles. Facing the ostracism of these people, she was genuinely puzzled and uncomfortable for a while.

She was really just a kind princess who married here with expectations of France, but the reality shattered her fairy tale fantasy of being a princess and prince.

In those years, Mrs. Dubarry and her small group made up a lot of obscene limericks with her as the protagonist. The favorite word was "Austrian bitch", and they also liked to laugh at her with Germanic food such as sauerkraut and sausage.

In this court, many people were opposed to the crown prince marrying her; with the acquiescence and instigation of the king's only concubine, they even took pleasure in bullying her—if they could destroy her relationship with Louis, they would be divorced. It could not be better.

Even if they can't change their marriage, it's good to disgust this foreign woman!

At the same time, the three princesses and the Countess of Noailles and other well-behaved women threatened her every day: "If you dare to talk to that unclean woman, you will become persona non grata here!"

It took Antania a long time to finally understand that when there is nothing else to do in a relatively closed space, being able to make an innocent person take advantage of herself and make someone who doesn't like her suffer is the key to many people's boring lives. pleasure.

Uniting together to exclude an outsider will give them a sense of belonging that they are recognized and included.

This is... the Palace of Versailles.

However, Antania still felt displeased when Louis showed her the picture she had drawn—it was obviously brought by the Duke of La Vogue.

This Versailles without locks and without privacy!It's time to popularize the right to privacy for residents here.

Louis looked very serious: "Antoinette, Mr. Duke said you are a witch, and said this is the evidence found in your room."

The Duke of Lavegoon probably thought that he had finally caught the truth about the princess, so he even raised his chin and gave Antania a contemptuous look.

Louis glanced at him and shook his head: "But I don't believe it."

"...Your Highness?!" The Duke turned his head belatedly, looking in shock at the little prince who had always been obedient to him.

"He said it was a painting of Versailles, and these blots of ink you marked were in several rooms of the king, me and my brothers, and the princess, and drew these lines for curses. Can you explain ?”

The Duke couldn't help but interjected: "Your Highness, you see these strangely shaped lines connecting from the outside of the palace to the inside of the palace. Don't you think it looks like some kind of magic circle?"

For a moment, Antanya wanted to say, don't you think they are more like your brain circuits?

witch?

It's been a long time since I heard this word, and she suddenly felt like she was getting old—ah, it turns out that people in this era are still using witches to attack women.

However, Mr. Duke should not be so reckless usually.

Perhaps it was because his son and daughter's future was ruined, and his mood became irritable and impulsive; or maybe he was too confident in his position in the prince's heart-after all, he was discovered when he was eavesdropping on Louis talking to her in his previous life As a result, Louis fired him in a rage.

"Oh! Little Louis and Antoinette are indeed here." A laughing voice suddenly came from behind them.

Several people turned around and saw a lady covered in flowers and jewels coming from behind the house. She was almost covered in gold, silver and jewels, and even her high-heeled shoes were inlaid with rubies.

Needless to say, it was naturally the Countess Du Barry.

Almost at the moment when he heard the voice, Duke Lavorgón straightened up a little.

Antanya was supposed to say hello immediately, but she suddenly got stuck——

Madame du Barry was accompanied by a group of maids, maids and attendants, as well as a young man who was particularly tall among the crowd.

Who is it if not Nikolai?

How can you be with her? !

Antanya glared at him in disbelief.

You listen to me explain.

Nikolay shrugged imperceptibly, and tilted his head slightly at her.

"Dear Countess!" Duke Lavegouon smiled warmly at Du Barry, "I am very glad to have you here to witness, this is the evidence against the princess! I believe you will also do great harm to the princess. report to His Majesty..."

"Our little bride?" Madam Dubarry interrupted him, looking straight at Antania, "Oh, this picture is really cute, the straight line you drew is so straight, and the circle is so round!"

At this time, the Duke of Lavorgón finally realized that something was wrong.

Although Madame du Barry is only a "countess" and he is a "monsieur duke", everyone in Versailles knows who is the more powerful person-he has only a mediocre hereditary title, and Du Barry Lady Barry has the heart of a king.

Therefore, the Duke of La Vaugouon has been spared no effort to flatter Mrs. Dubarry, trying to squeeze into the "inner circle" of the palace.

In his cognition, isn't Madam du Barry very hostile to the arrival of the Austrian princess? !

In the Palace of Versailles where she was the hostess, a young girl with a beautiful face and delicate skin appeared. The lady was naturally vigilant instinctively—and she clearly instructed him through her confidantes to "give the princess some color." ".

Duke LaVogueon suddenly remembered what happened last night——

At the dance yesterday, after the prince fell asleep, he secretly went to another room and "gambled big" there.

He did not see what happened in the next period of time with his own eyes, but he heard that Madame du Barry had spoken to the princess.

Wasn't that... Wasn't that because Madame du Barry finally won?At least that's how he understood it.

At this time, Madame Dubarry fanned her fan and looked at Antania with a smile: "What are you painting?"

"Oh, you should have seen it, this is the floor plan of the Palace of Versailles." Antanya calmly explained, "These places are circled, and I consulted Count Noailles to confirm that these places are It has its own bathroom.”

The Duke of La Vogue almost doubted his ears.

What?bathroom?

Madame du Barry looked carefully, and it was true.

"As for the black ink lines, they are the existing water supply pipes and cisterns. The blue ink lines are what I am planning... I think that the water source and cleaning of the Palace of Versailles need to be renovated to improve environmental sanitation; More bathrooms and toilets should also be planned."

In her previous life, the toilet problem in the Palace of Versailles was not resolved until she died; in 1787, someone applied to build a public bathroom in the city of Versailles, but it was finally rejected on the grounds that it "occupied too much public space".

"This... This is obviously impossible!" The Duke keenly felt a great sense of crisis, "How can a princess pay attention to the bathrooms and toilets in the palace?"

"Oh, Your Royal Highness told me about this." Madame Du Barry gave him a cool look, "You can come and ask me first what Mr. Duke is going to do next time—maybe I can provide some advice first." Useful information, lest you disturb His Highness the Crown Prince."

The Duke of La Vaugón was completely confused.

what happened?Obviously, Mrs. Dubali was still mocking and annoyed when she talked about the princess yesterday, why suddenly... He couldn't figure it out, he panicked and subconsciously defended himself, trying to grab the last straw: "But, she didn't come here One month! If it wasn't for the witch, how could it be possible to find out about the Palace of Versailles so quickly..."

"Lavorgón!" The little chubby who had been listening by the side suddenly burst out.

His chubby face was flushed, and he stared at the Duke of Lavorgón and panted heavily: "I can't take it anymore! I'm sorry, I want to fire you!"

"Your Highness?!"

The Duke of Lavorgón rushed over in disbelief, wanting to grab his hand: "I beg you...I beg you..."

Louis shook his hand angrily and roared, "Get out! Get out!"

The Duke of La Vogueon, who had no other choice, rolled away in despair.

Looking at his back, Madam Dubarry opened her fan and chuckled lightly: "Hey, Mr. Duke, it's the most annoying snobbery—like a fly, you can't even drive it away, it's so annoying."

She pulled up Antanya who was speechless, and patted the back of her hand with a smile: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Antanya came back to herself.Although she might not need Mrs. Du Barry to defend herself, she did help her get out of the siege - and drove away an opponent who she hated so much in her previous life.

"Actually, I've thought so for a long time! It's a pity that I don't understand these things at all." Mrs. Dubarry said with an exaggerated expression, "Bathrooms and toilets need to be increased, and I feel the same! Because here is really..."

She glanced at Louis.

Antania also glanced at Louis.

Louis scratched his head stupidly, not understanding why they suddenly stopped talking.

The two looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time: ...It really stinks here.

Those big pig's hooves probably can't smell it.

A certain boy coughed lightly beside him.

"Oh, yes," Madame Dubarry remembered him now, "Mr. Tesla—you already know each other, after all you danced together."

"Your Highness." Nicholas took off his hat and saluted very officially.

"Mr. Tesla." Antanya nodded more formally.

Madame Dubarry's eyes fluttered from the boy's face to the girl's face like a flying feather, and she covered her mouth and smiled.

"I invited Mr. Tesla to come on behalf of His Majesty the King. I was thinking that Mr. Tesla's steam engine might be useful for building fountains and other water pumps at Versailles Palace-so why not invite Your Majesty to come at Versailles Palace. Open up a research workshop for him."

She looked at Antanya with a smile: "In this way, if there is any interesting new invention, we can still witness it together."

"Your Highness, what do you think?"
