So we really wanted to move to live in the palace together.

Da Vinci and she both have personal servants, and she no longer has to take care of the painter to drink more orange juice when he is rushing to finish the manuscript.

Thinking about it carefully... I still feel a little lost.

Since the two people lived in the same place at the beginning, things naturally had to be divided.

The pasta that has just been in the sun for a few days must be collected and taken away, and the wine that has not been successfully brewed must also be thrown away.

Da Vinci also gave her two books, both literature and art theory.

After all, Heidi didn't have any belongings. She only took away those bottles and jars, as well as half-finished gloves and masks.

On the afternoon before she left, she went to secretly check those small packages, and every one of them was intact, and there was no trace of being tampered with.

...It's a good thing that Medici didn't find out, otherwise she would definitely be burned to death as a witch.

In this era, we don't even know if there are diamonds, so we must keep them well hidden.

She had thought long and hard about her assets in Florence.

Even if you have money, you can buy anything, but nothing is reliable.

One of the differences between adults and children is the understanding that things are changing and that at any moment, people may not be able to control themselves.

As early as when she first found out that she was here, Heidi immediately changed her Austrian-style maid outfit and changed to the same light long skirt as the locals.

Here is a typical Mediterranean climate, spring and summer are still warm, it is impossible for clothes to hide jewelry, and the outline will be particularly obvious.

At that time, she still stayed in Da Vinci's residence for a while, and she was also uneasy, and decided to bury or hide things and put them in an absolutely safe place.

She is in this world without her own home.

Da Vinci's residence, or the separate bedroom in the Ducale Palace, are all existences that may lose their right of residence at any time.

Moreover, the owners of those houses also have the right to inspect and rummage at any time. Once they are discovered, they may really be thrown to the Holy See to accept the judgment.

But if it is left in a tree hole or a bird's nest, it may be taken away by those wild animals or birds, and its whereabouts are unknown in the end.

Mr. Lorenzo is said to have been very close to the citizens, and when they entered the palace, he went over to check all the things they brought.

"What is this?"

"Sir, it's a mask."

He showed a suspicious expression: "Put it on and show me."

In front of the crowd, Heidi hung two cotton threads on her ears, and covered her mouth and nose with a coarse veil.

"Why not the doctor's kind?"

The masks of the Middle Ages all have long iron beaks and cover the eyes.

"Just protect the nose and mouth, sir."

Lorenzo rummaged through her case again and pulled out a piece of fruit.

His expression changed slightly.

"...the palace won't even give you oranges."

"Oh——" Heidi took the orange subconsciously: "This is for Mr. Da Vinci, I'm used to being his maid."

She turned around and handed the orange to him, and said solemnly: "Drink more orange juice while painting, and I'll make some for you when I'm free."

Da Vinci looked at the cold-eyed Lorenzo, and responded with a smile.

Although both entered the palace, their residences were far apart.

As a court alchemist, Heidi has to report to Lorenzo regularly, or help him answer doubts, so the residence is in the guest room above his office.

Da Vinci lived with other painters, and the treatment seemed to be quite good.

But in any case, Heidi's living conditions are much better than before.

Her room had a big, comfortable bed, no more curling up in the utility room to sleep in, and she had her own closet—a closet!

Now, Heidi not only has a personal maid, but finally someone can help her with sewing and washing clothes, and also has several sets of skirts, robes and knitted shawls. There are even three pairs of shoes in the closet, all clean and tidy. pretty.

——If these are Mr. Medici's good intentions, then he is actually quite considerate.

"Dejo," Heidi said, picking up the conical bottle beside the bed, "what is this?"

"My lord, these are smelling salts."

"Smelling salts?"

She shook the liquid inside and tentatively sniffed it.

The taste is very pungent and smells like ammonia.

Obviously, this word has not been touched for a long time, but if you think about it carefully, you can still remember it.

In high society, women are considered to be 'weak and petite', and even if they just hear the bad news, they should faint to show their fragility.

Because they fainted from time to time, they would always keep smelling salts, and use this pungent smell to urge them to wake up.

Heidi was playing with the small conical glass bottle, and suddenly wondered if she would show her flaws if she pretended to be dizzy.

In the following days, I couldn't see my old friend Da Vinci for six or seven days.

She was received by a group of wives, and she had to constantly consult the maid Dejo about court etiquette.

Mr. Medici's wife was a calm and indifferent woman. She had given birth to eight children for him, among them a pair of twins died shortly after birth due to congenital reasons.

A modern person would indeed be surprised to see so many children.

After all, the current lord is only 29 years old.

Even if it is two in three years, you have to be a father at the age of 17.

I also met many other nobles one after another, but some of them couldn't remember their names. After returning to the room, they had to sort out the roster and write them down one by one.

Heidi was a bit apprehensive in her heart, even if she had a better status, she didn't dare to relax for a moment.

The first thing she did was to write a long paper and submit it to the cold and mysterious lord.

The core content of the thesis is to persuade people to eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, as well as the preparation method of orange juice and orange juice medicine.

The existence of vitamins is naturally difficult to explain clearly. She simply listed a number of names and explained the consequences of eating less of these foods.

Heidi is not very used to the pen made of swan feathers, and needs to look up the dictionary when writing Italian.

She writes intermittently, occasionally thinking about some past events.

A long time ago, she was just the new beauty of MGM.

Curly black hair parted in the middle, deep eyes, and slightly raised eyebrows are quite eye-catching on the poster boards on the long street. Even if she just came to the United States, many people can recognize her .

At that time, Heidi used to go to a fixed place to play tennis, and once met John Kennedy who came to find her specially.

The gentleman had not yet been elected president and was studying at Harvard University, but he was already one of the upstarts.

Kennedy came in front of her with a tennis racket in hand, considering his tone and wanting to date her.

"—what can I give you?"

Heidi, who was in her twenties, looked at him and laughed.

"Vitamin C."

"The doctor said, I should make up for this."

Later, how the young man joined the army, how he stepped up to the top of power step by step, had an affair with Marilyn Monroe in the White House, and was finally assassinated to death had nothing to do with her.

The poor actress tried to commit suicide many times because of this married man, and finally died in Beverly Hills due to an overdose of sedatives, and was cherished and cherished by countless people.

After all, a can of Vitamin C sounds healthier.

Heidi withdrew her thoughts, lowered her head and stamped a full stop with the tip of her pen.

Women should always be vigilant against all power desires and temptations.

She took the paper, glanced up and down, and felt quite satisfied.

It is not only necessary to use the method of coaxing children to be convincing, but also to explain the hazards, usage and precautions.

After seeing doctors for so many years, I have now become the health nurse of the Medici family.

The paper was quickly sent to the office, and then there was no news.

Then, I heard from Dejo that several servants were selected, and started drinking orange juice and orange juice every day like mice, and ate a lot of tomatoes.

The alchemist was playing with the quill in the bedroom, smiling noncommittally.

This approach is very Medici.

Christmas preparations started early, but it just didn't seem to have much to do with her.

At the end of November, there are small markets and performances in the nearby villages, and the city is more lively.

On December [-]th, the countdown began and people began to decorate the city. Iris banners were hung everywhere, and mistletoe was picked and hung at the door to prevent witches from entering the house.

Craftsmen began to decorate nativity scenes in the square, and business in many theaters was booming.

I heard that Da Vinci made a pair of new wings for the actors, and also arranged new flying stunts, which can do somersaults in the air.

——So what happened to that guy’s painting?

—Is he really a painter?

The theme and pattern of the Christmas market changed, and a Persian merchant brought a cart of Chinese porcelain. The style was indeed exquisite and beautiful.

Heidi hadn't been completely lifted from surveillance and restrictions. Even the glass dishes containing the beef soup had been taken down, obviously her vigilance had not been let down.

She looked at the book and learned Latin, she looked quiet and docile, and she didn't show any strangeness.

The Medici would not allow her to leave the palace, so she did not.

Medici did not allow her to chat with Da Vinci, so she refused.

In the Middle Ages, when there was no concept of dependence and human rights, there was no freedom, no equality, and many rights and interests that women should have.

The only thing worthy of satisfaction is probably the meat in lunch and dinner.

And it's fresh beef shanks, even chicken wings or chicken breasts.

After more than half a month, Heidi remained silent as before, without making any unnecessary resistance or justification, but her body became much healthier, and her cheeks became much rosier.

Not in a hurry.

The past 85 years of life have given her the calmness of an old man, to recharge her energy and recuperate her body, and then slowly plan other things.

It is impossible for her to be suppressed by this royal power for a lifetime, nor can she stay here forever.

On the night of Christmas Eve, people gathered in the church and began to perform services with the bishop.

There is a meatless evening meal before midnight mass, but the sea bass and seafood grill are quite good.

When Mass is over and I can sleep well, it will be Christmas.

Heidi was invited by Mrs. Medici to attend the luncheon of the ladies.

Spaghetti is smothered in a rich sauce, and roast meat is soft and tender, sprinkled with hazelnuts.

When the almond cake was served, she let out a hearty sigh.

Seeing her poor and simple appearance, the noble ladies only smiled in a gentle manner, and teased her with metaphors through the lupine.

Heidi didn't even understand what they were saying.

Sitting before the feast, she suddenly wanted to have a cup of coffee, and the milk foam on top would be better sprinkled with chocolate powder.

——It may take hundreds of years to wait.

On December 26th, it is St. Stephen's Day.

Distant relatives came to visit together, and a grand ball was held in the palace.

Heidi didn't go to the dance, but ate two extra ribs.

The ladies swayed and swayed on the dance floor, their skirts were like tulips in full bloom.

Heidi caught a glimpse of Da Vinci holding a drawing board in the crowd, and he seemed to be thinner.

The eyes of the two greeted each other from a distance, and then blended into the crowd like strangers.

Botticelli was very popular at the banquet and danced several dances with the noble ladies, but he seemed to know the unwritten prohibition, so he didn't approach her rashly.

Twelve days later, the epiphany opened, and the stories of the three kings were eulogized and recalled by people.

It was January [-]th of the new year, and the children found cinders and sweets in their stockings and acted out old stories from the Bible with their wooden swords.

At this time, the maid Dejo whispered new news to Heidi again.

Those lucky servants not only improved a lot, but even the bleeding gums basically disappeared.

Their complexion looks amazing, and some people don't even have migraines anymore.

Overnight, a bunch of fresh orange juice was placed on the bedside of the distinguished guests of the entire Ducale Palace.
