Chapter 1299 Change of formation

Victor Hugo, the author of the book "Notre Dame de Paris", once wrote: In the face of history, one robber is called France, and the other is called English.

The night before visiting the Louvre, she had a dinner stolen from the French restaurant next door at Hugo's house. She deeply agreed with Hugo's views.

Now French robbers and British pirates had intersected in some way. Napoleon corresponded with the Prince of Wales, and the Prince of Wales asked Georgiana if she dared to hit him.

She was so stubborn just now, saying that she would fight him if he regained his magic power. Even if he was the Prince of Wales, he was just a Muggle, wasn't he?

In fact, she may not know how to fight, and civilized people will not do it at will.

Although Sirius's group of nobles basically didn't know how to observe etiquette, the royal family had to observe etiquette. Napoleon Bonaparte was a minor nobleman, and there was almost no trace of court etiquette in him.

He is very dignified, except when he looks at her the way a man looks at a woman.

Before she overcame the height barrier, she also liked tall, strong men. Fairway was also very manly, but she never considered him as a marriage partner.

From this we can see how much the Corsicans failed in love compared with their glorious results on the battlefield.

Rohart was very happy in love, but even if Scotland split away again, she would never sleep with Rohart.

The same way those female opera stars viewed Napoleon Bonaparte. Josephine cheated on him, he was a loser in love, and he was despised by female stars. His Excellency Bonaparte almost suffered from misogyny.

Men always have a tendency to show off in front of women. Some talk boastfully, while others put forward practical things, such as generously buying expensive luxuries that men from poorer families cannot afford, and going to expensive restaurants to eat.

The Crown of Thorns, a national treasure, is difficult for ordinary wealthy people to see up close. Now if Georgiana is willing, she can reach out and pick it up from the red velvet cushion.

Would a girl in the 21st century dare to think of taking the oil paintings on the wall back to her home when visiting the Louvre? I guess no one would. If you steal a national treasure, you will be caught and put in jail.

Georgiana only had to point her finger, and Raphael's Madonna hanging on the wall of the Louvre would hang on the wall of her study.

How can she stay awake in the face of such a fierce attack?

The Crown of Thorns is not a thorn, but is placed in a ring-shaped glass container, wrapped with gold wire. The yellowed and dry thorns can be seen through the glass container.

This thorn is no different from the ordinary thorns on the roadside. Medieval kings and nobles were often deceived by charlatans and emptied the French treasury just for a roll of thorns found casually on the roadside. This kind of transaction is very irrational. .

But Louis IX was called Saint Louis. Even if he lost the war, he would still be the king of France.

That day, she was lying on the big bed in the King's Suite at the Palace of Saint-Luc, reading a book that recorded the journey of the Crown of Thorns that the robber Bonaparte had snatched back from Rome, and the journey of the Crown of Thorns to Paris. Later, after Napoleon finished washing, he said good night to her, and he said

As for the tents, the French soldiers were not allowed to sleep in the tents but in the campsites for many reasons. Firstly, it could reduce the baggage, and secondly, it could prevent the enemy's scouts from calculating the strength of the French army. It was not the emperor's prerogative.

His demeanor at that time did not look like he was 30 years old at all, he looked very mature and steady. On the contrary, Georgiana, who had a younger face, looked more like a little girl who loved to listen to stories.

He also told her about the Battle of the Pyramids, drew a square in the palm of her hand, and told her how to use the square array.

The feeling coming from the palm of her hand was like a feather that teased her heart.

The French army could not win at that time because of its equipment. The Mamluks had many people and good equipment. The attacks came one after another like waves, but the weak French army still won, and the one who used this war magic was the young man in front of her.

's general.

When the itching feeling came again on her palm, she turned back and glared at the bastard.

He was proud now, but he suppressed his laughter, pretending that nothing happened, and looked at the holy object in front of him.

Caprara was conducting some kind of religious ceremony, sprinkling holy water in front of holy objects, and there were many priests standing around, all wearing full ceremonial robes and standing solemnly.

She has seen Catholic ceremonies, which are very gorgeous and magnificent. Some larger Protestant churches also have high masses, which are almost indistinguishable from Catholic ones. People who don't believe in religion will definitely not be able to tell the difference.

Those who participate in the ceremony will wear formal dresses, many of which are made of silk. In the 8th century, silk was transported from the East to the West along the overland Silk Road by camel caravans. The price was very expensive, equivalent to gold.

It was Caesar who started the silk craze. Because he wore silk, Roman nobles were proud to wear silk.

The corruption problem in the church and the Atonement led to the Reformation. The reason was that the monks who were supposed to remain poor lived a luxurious life and had mistresses who gave them illegitimate children.

She tried to think, but the palm of her hand kept being scratched. She was so angry that she scratched it hard before retracting the hateful hand.

French women may not dare to hit Napoleon, but they may hit the Prince of Wales. His Catholic widow helped him quit drinking and inevitably had conflicts with him. It is definitely not easy for a woman to deal with a drunken man.

The Constitution of the Monarchy and the Law of Succession to the Throne have allowed Parliament to meddle in the Crown Prince's new house. Because of the debt problem, he does not even have the right to find a woman he is satisfied with. He has to obey the arrangements of political animals and marry a fat, vulgar woman.

Women sleep, no wonder Napoleon doesn't want to be governed by the Constitution.

If a man likes a woman, he will find a way to get her whatever she wants.

She heard that there was a noble concubine named Yang in the Tang Empire who loved lychees so much that the emperor used a 800-mile express to transport lychees to convey military information.

Later, the poet left a poem: "The concubine riding on the red dust is laughing, no one knows it is the lychee coming".

Georgiana, who had once thought that this kind of thing was far away from her, now felt that instead of criticizing Bonaparte for abusing his power, it might be better for her to smile at him.

So after he retracted his hand, she turned her head and smiled at him. The originally proud Corsican was stunned as if he was petrified.

He looked dazed, so her smile became more genuine. At this time, Caprara's ceremony ended, so she stopped smiling and stood solemnly, trying not to be burned to death by the holy light.

If Napoleon used a dazzling victory to make the French crazy about him, then a dazzling wedding was also needed to make the brides crazy.

Buying luxury goods is a waste, but getting married will never save money for most girls who only plan to get married once.

Combining sacred nuptials and patriotism, perhaps Lyon's silks simply beat the cheap and affordable cotton fabrics.

Buying her a beautiful wedding dress is not only for the sake of the overall situation, but also for the sake of personal happiness. Maybe in a few years, a well-preserved wedding dress will become a cultural relic and be placed in a museum as a witness of the times.

This bride will not be Georgiana. Hortense and Louis, who are about to hold the wedding, are better candidates. There are many beggars who built the Saint-Martin Canal. She does not feel that wearing gorgeous clothes appears in front of these soldiers who have nowhere to live after they retire.

The front is suitable.

But she could do something with her underwear.

Every time she goes to a Muggle lingerie store to buy clothes, she says it's for rewards, but actually she likes them very much, just like the old fool who likes eating sweets. It's a hobby.

She will only wear tights unless the universe is destroyed, and she obviously can't go without underwear all the time. What else can she do besides opening her own underwear store?

And garters.

She thought maliciously, then looked back at the Corsican and found that he was looking ahead seriously.

If Severus didn't like what she wore, would Leon do the same? Would he think she was a very immodest woman?

The mischievous pleasure disappeared at the thought of this.

She touched her empty neck, put down her hand, and listened carefully to Kaprala's chanting.

There are always some regrets in life. Since she chooses to stay in this world, she must learn to be a woman who is not so free and must have a guardian.

It was obvious that her guardian had become politicized, but she would not let him become a cold-blooded political animal. She did not agree with Mrs. Starr's concept of not getting married without love, nor did she agree with Napoleon's idea of ​​marrying purely for profit without having any love at all.

concept.

As for how to solve this problem, let her think about it later.
