[Pride and Prejudice] My husband loves me again

If she really wanted to let the groom lead Mrs. Grenouille before the Prince Regent as Princess Charlotte said, Princess Caroline would not dare.She went back to England with great fanfare, but she didn't quarrel with her nominal husband. At that time, the two separated. Caroline proposed that she could not hinder the eyes of the regent and no matter how many mistresses he kept, but the regent had to provide a large sum of money every month. Stipend to myself for sojourn in Continental Europe.

Now the stipend has been delayed by two months, which is unprecedented.

Caroline was used to extravagance and squandering, and had never saved such things, so she hurried back just to collect debts from the regent.

How could she take the Prince Regent's mistress and go for a walk in front of her husband with great fanfare.

"Get lost!" She yelled at Mrs. Grenouille viciously, and after watching her run away in a desperate manner, she raised an embarrassed smile and greeted her daughter warmly: "I heard that your father has already chosen a future husband for you." Husband?"

Princess Charlotte neither promised nor objected to the future husband chosen by the regent for herself. No one knew her true intentions. The regent held her daughter firmly in his palm and warned her cruelly. Unless she is married, she has no personal freedom to speak of.

Therefore, even if it is for freedom, the princess is eager for marriage.

"It's still His Royal Highness William, the Hereditary Prince of Orange of the Netherlands." Princess Charlotte told her mother the groom's candidate in a low voice.

Princess Caroline is not very particular, so she frowned immediately: "It's endless, didn't it last time you got engaged and then got married, this family is simply a poor family!"

The Orange family is the ruler of the Netherlands in name, but in fact the Netherlands had already belonged to Napoleon before, and the king of the Netherlands was replaced by Napoleon’s younger brother Louis.The regent wants to marry this family so that the British Royal Navy and the Dutch fleet can jointly dominate the sea, which will make the British dominance unshakable.

As for the members of the Orange family, because there are precedents, William III was the son of Princess Mary Stuart, the eldest daughter of King Charles I of England, and the ruling William II of the Netherlands in the seventeenth century. The Glorious Revolution and his wife, Princess Mary of England, ascended to the British throne and became the only co-kings in British history.

If the Prince Regent's idea works, the Prince William will co-rule with Charlotte, Princess of Wales in the future, and the lure of the British crown is considerable for the male heir to the European royal family.

This marriage has been repeated once, and Princess Charlotte does not like Prince William, but the freedom that marriage brings is very attractive to her.Therefore, she put forward her own conditions, saying that she would agree to the engagement if she did not go to the Netherlands after marriage. Unexpectedly, the regent just temporarily appeased her, and finally notified Charlotte that she would live in the Netherlands for three months every year.In the end, due to the opposition of the Whigs, it was believed that the regent was afraid that Princess Charlotte would have the support of the people, so he forced her to marry far away, and the marriage was annulled in the end.

Now the regent is repeating the same old tune. Not only the venerable Duke of Wellington advised Charlotte that this is a good marriage, but even the visiting Tsar of England hoped that she would consider marrying to the Netherlands. Princess Charlotte is facing a huge crisis. pressure.

She has frequently been in and out of the Dome Palace recently, hoping that the Prince Regent can listen to the opinions and change his mind. Besides, the Whig Party, as a supporter of Princess Charlotte, does not want the sole heir to the British throne to be married abroad because of the Prince Regent's narrow-mindedness. .

By this time George Canning had re-entered the cabinet as Chairman of the Management Committee and used his influence in both parties to delay the payment of the Regent's allowance.There is certainly a reason for Darcy's request, but it is just a matter of convenience. Sir Canning's fundamental purpose is also because many party members do not want to see the princess marry outside. Although the practice of not paying money is despicable, it is the most effective.

The Prince Regent was already deeply in debt when he was still the Prince of Wales, with debts as high as 60 pounds, and Parliament had to allocate funds to him every year to pay off the debts.The amount of appropriation has been increasing year by year, from 13 pounds per year to nearly [-] pounds. The regent relies on this money to ease his debts, and on the other hand, he continues to owe debts. However, this year, the parliament perfunctorily delayed the subsidy, and the regent was shy. As a result, Princess Caroline, who was far away in the mainland, also came back to collect debts from him.

Sir Canning implicitly reminded the regent that he would give his daughters' marriages serious consideration.

Obviously not only including Princess Charlotte, his illegitimate daughters also got into trouble, but the regent didn't know which one offended the House of Commons, he couldn't even name his illegitimate daughters.

He was very irritable about money.

Princess Caroline came back to block his eyes, and the money was mentioned, which made him annoyed max.

Regarding her marriage, Princess Charlotte coldly reminded Princess Caroline, who called William's family a poor family: "The decision of this matter rests with the royal father."

Caroline was at a loss for words, after all, she had no right to speak, and her daughter was not close to her at all, especially after knowing that she had another illegitimate daughter in Italy, the mother and daughter were even strangers.Princess Charlotte used to take her mother to live with her as a condition for marrying William, but Princess Caroline is a pig teammate at all. Her reputation is so bad that William rejected Charlotte immediately.

She is now vocally against it, but I am afraid that once the Prince Regent relieves the financial pressure and gives her the allowance, she will not care who her daughter will marry, but only cares about going back to Italy and continuing to live happily.

The far-fetched thing of becoming the future queen's mother domineering and domineering is not as beneficial as the money that can be seen right now.

The regent was drunk and obese, and Princess Caroline would only be fatter than him. The two of them closed the door of the living room to no avail, causing the palace people to flee.Princess Charlotte sat motionlessly outside the door and waited for her parents to finish their quarrel. Mrs. Grenoye, who was beaten in the face, sat opposite her with her daughter Maria. Obviously, she also had something to say to the regent, and she dared to appear again , just knowing that Princess Caroline dare not do anything to herself in front of the regent.

But Princess Charlotte is not very polite to herself. She is not like this on weekdays. It is probably because the marriage is unsatisfactory and she vents her anger on herself.

She looks up at the young princess from time to time. Although she knows that the other party will not live long enough to become a queen, this kind of natural reincarnation ability is still enviable. What about your foot?

It is impossible to expect Mrs. Grenoye to reflect on herself. She never thought that she did something that made others look down on her.

Charlotte had already noticed her gaze, and knew that there was curiosity and embarrassment in that gaze, so she sneered silently.

After a while, the door of the living room was pushed open. Princess Caroline got the promise she wanted, and searched all the gold, silver and jewelry she could see. There were many jewelry collected by Mrs. Grenouille. Mrs. Grenouille looked at it When he arrived, he dared not speak out.But seeing that Princess Caroline only had money and no daughter in her eyes, she said goodbye perfunctorily and left quickly, she gloated at Princess Charlotte again.

Princess Charlotte seemed oblivious.

The regent was in a bad mood and didn't want to see his daughter, but instead asked Mrs. Grenoye to go in.

This is very embarrassing, Maria looked at the distinguished sister curiously.

Madame Grenouille gloated even more.

The regent did not wait for his favorite mistress to come in, and angrily smashed the wine bottle inside and shouted: "No one can care who I want to marry my daughter to!"

Princess Charlotte left without a word.

As soon as Madame Grenouille entered the living room, she took off all her clothes. She was beaten by the Bennet family. There were bloodstains and bruises on her body, but the regent was excited. Madame Grenouille knew What she will face, but as long as she can get through it, she is very sure that the regent will adopt her opinion.

The regent drank a lot of wine and hadn't gotten into the situation yet.Pointing to a piece of ginger as thick as a little finger on the silver plate, he ordered: "Put it in yourself!"

In the past, when a profiteer wanted to sell a sick horse, he would stuff ginger into the horse's back hole. After the horse was stimulated, it would look very energetic and could be sold for a good price.

Madame Grenouille complied, and the Regent swung a cane across her hips.

Because of the pain, she involuntarily clamped her buttocks, the burning sensation of ginger gradually became clearer, and the regent became excited.

The time has come.

Madame Grenouille endured the pain and said intermittently: "Your Highness, I want to marry Maria to Fitzwilliam Darcy."

"Who is that?" The regent didn't remember such a person in the wealthy family, but now he can be sure of Sir Canning's implication. I am afraid that apart from Charlotte, Maria's marriage dissatisfied him, and he severely dumped her. Madame Grenouille whipped her whip: "Who told you to make your own decisions?"

It's not worth it to lose the allowance because of the mistress's self-assessment.

Madame Grenouille trembled because of the severe pain, but she still maintained her moving perseverance to finish her sentence: "He has no title, and is not a nobleman, but he is the nephew of the Duchess de Bauer and the Earl of Fitzwilliam. A whole half of Derbyshire. It is rumored that he earns ten thousand pounds a year, but that is only on the surface. Besides the Duke of Devonshire, his family is the biggest patron of the Whig Party. Your Highness, if you have such a Rich son-in-law, why should he be threatened by Parliament to tie his hands? You only need to let Darcy marry Maria, give him a title, and let him obediently hand over the money for you to spend as much as you like. And once he has no money to sponsor Whig If you’re a partisan, they won’t dare to embarrass you all day long.”

The regent's eyes lit up, he couldn't do anything to the Duke of Devonshire, but an ordinary gentleman without a noble title, couldn't he do whatever he wanted?It's just an illegitimate daughter, so she should exchange it for money, so there's nothing she can't bear.

Darcy didn't realize that his money had become his constraint. After so many years, Mrs. Grenouille knew the nature of the regent very well. She would not ask the regent for her own benefit. She would only Take out the benefits of this matter alone to seduce the regent and let him help him achieve his goal.

The royal courier from the Dome soon set off.

But as Darcy neither stayed in London nor returned to Pemberley, the letter from the Regent's secretary was delayed on the way.At this time, Darcy took advantage of Bingley's weakness of listening to his own words very much, and brought him to the Rosings Garden of the Duchess de Bourgh, and stayed there temporarily under the guise of congratulating the newlyweds.

The Bennet family came to Kent not long ago to attend the wedding of Mary and Collins.
