Chapter 1329
Chapter 1330 The Holy Maiden’s Battle Flag
Hussars are a type of light cavalry common to all European countries. They are famous for their gorgeous costumes, superb equestrian skills, and fierce sword skills.
They like to distinguish themselves from other cavalry through dazzling uniform colors, weaving methods, patterns, headdresses, lace, etc. The obvious sign is the short cloak-style coat hanging down from the left shoulder. In addition, because the hussars' clothing is tight and has no pockets, it can be stored close to the body.
The "bag" for storing items became another feature of the hussars, and Napoleon's war publications were named after hussars.
She never thought that a pacifist like herself would have such a day.
She put down the war publication that Bonaparte had forgotten in her study, and did not store it elsewhere. The Church of Our Lady of Ankang was not built in a day, and the workers were still decorating the "crown" of the greenhouse. Some
Marble sculptures are suspended from the roof.
Fortunately, the scale of the "Crown" is only one-third of the original, so the main structure was built in half a month, but this speed is probably only achieved by engineers.
When she traveled to Venice before, she heard that Napoleon claimed to be Attila Khan of the Venetian Republic and thought he was ridiculous. Attila never came to Venice at all.
Now, as she looked at the white roses in the glass on the table, she felt ridiculous.
She had been busy with government affairs, but had not paid attention to the most basic safety issues. Since Louis Antoinette was so good at housework, Georgiana asked her to stay and manage the stables, gardens, servants in the palace, and the kitchen herself.
, because she was afraid of being poisoned.
If Napoleon really plans to deal with Lannes, then the next commander of the Guards and his wife will be like the Lannes couple, one in charge of the Guards and the other in charge of the servants of the Grand Trianon. As for Josephine, what happened?
She had no control over the servants in charge of Malmaison.
Only Sophie and her little sisters could enter the greenhouse. She now looked like a palace lady, and she found that there were several young people from the Guards hanging around Sophie recently.
A young and handsome face, coupled with a good-looking uniform, will indeed "dazzle" some girls.
She didn't want to be as strict as Umbridge, but she couldn't turn a blind eye to it. After all, not everyone cared whether a girl was pure before marriage.
I don’t know what Bonaparte was thinking. He actually thought she was very pure. What pure woman would cheat and get divorced again?
He may have fallen into his own imagination again, but fortunately he seemed to be still awake and knew to go to the pier to have a look, otherwise he would not have appeared at the Paris Botanical Garden.
She was sorting out her thoughts, thinking about how to plug the loopholes, when footsteps came from the door again.
Lucien Bonaparte once again came in unannounced, but this time he was accompanied by someone else, none other than one of Sophie's suitors, Gaudin, who wrote the script.
"How did you two get together?" Georgiana asked.
"It's difficult to enter the Grand Trianon now." Lucien found a chair and sat down, so casual that he put his legs on the low stool. "Poitevin wrote a good script, so I brought him in.
.”
"What's written?"
"Louis XVI was a good man, but he was a bad king." Lucien said, "Do you know Charlotte Corday?"
"Can I leave?" Gordan said anxiously.
"The girl can't run away, why are you panicking?" Lucien said calmly.
Gordan looked like he wanted to leave. Maybe he had seen the boy from the Guards hooking up with Sophie.
Godin himself brought it to Lucien's door to play with, so Georgiana turned a blind eye.
"You're going to use this script to deal with rumors?"
"It's better than Napoleon's idea. He wanted to make that girl a national hero like Joan of Arc."
"What?"
"The joy of saving a person is no less than the joy of killing a person. He wants to divert the public's attention away from the old nobles who were killed."
Georgiana could not say how she felt.
The royalists want to take advantage of the kindness in people's hearts to make them understand what terrible things they have done and then "repent". Why don't they have any conscience when they tell the children about this?
"How disgusting."
"The Directory once promised to give her an annuity, but now that the Directory has collapsed, she has come to us for compensation."
"Because Napoleoni was a Jacobin?"
"Do you believe that he was not involved in those things? Georgiana." Lucien asked.
"The point is not whether I believe it or not."
"It's okay to take care of a girl, but I feel aggrieved and have to be responsible for things we didn't do." Lucien, with a playful smile, said coldly, "Once those old nobles regain power, they will definitely take revenge and restore their former power.
Majesty, apart from their noble birth, what have they done to deserve respect?"
She thought of the soldiers on the Raft of Medusa and nodded empathetically.
"During famine, some people prefer to stimulate people's emotions instead of finding ways to feed them. You tell me what you want to eat, and I will find it for you." Lucien said proudly.
"Aren't you satisfied with having fish to eat?" Georgiana said with a smile.
"Do you know what is the pitiable thing about the British Crown Prince? Although he is speaking as a master, he must obey public opinion. The Prince of Wales actually wants to fight Napoleon on the battlefield. Domestic public opinion wants to make peace with Napoleon.
Having a similar experience to him, I think he will go crazy like his father sooner or later."
Georgiana looked at Gordan, who was looking at Sophie.
"Can you go to Malmaison and see him?" Lucien said suddenly.
"What?"
"Like Cleopatra, you hide in the blanket and we send you in." Lucien said whimsically.
"He's unhappy?"
"Go and see him."
"I'm afraid of Malmaison," she whispered.
"Boy, I brought you in to ask for your help!" Lucien said to Godin, "Help me persuade her."
"I don't want to use Caesar and Antony like Cleopatra, otherwise I will become a woman with a 'red arm'." She said coldly, "I think he should know now why so many people don't like it.
There’s a war.”
"He is a soldier, and the reason why he went from captain to first consul so quickly was because of the war," Lucien said.
"I know that war is only beautiful when it ends. Some battles can be avoided as much as possible, but if there are some battles that must be fought, they must not be avoided. Now he is fighting a battle that cannot be avoided. You can ask him
, what reward do you want."
"What other reward do you think he could want?"
"I remember I promised to have a sculpture." She said numbly, "But I won't pretend to be Maria."
"Who do you want to pretend to be?"
"Godin!" Georgiana roared, "Stop looking!"
Only then did Gordin come to his senses and found that both Georgiana and Lucien were staring at him.
"If you can't figure it out, don't even think about coming in next time." Lucien said with a smile.
"I want a sculpture, which mythological story do you think should be used as the theme?" Georgiana asked Gordin.
"The Goddess of Grain." Godin immediately said, "On January 1 this year, Italian astronomer Piazzi announced the discovery of this asteroid and named it after Chris."
Kris is the god of agriculture, the second goddess besides the moon who represents mother, pregnancy, food, family, motherland, labor, work and nurturing.
She was in charge of plants, gave birth to life on earth, taught people how to farm, and gave birth to Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, with Zeus.
Because she lost her daughter, she had no intention of farming, causing the earth to lose its vitality. Until Zeus came forward, the mother and daughter reunited, and the earth was reborn. Every winter is the day when she reunites with her daughter.
"I agree." She smiled and said, "How did you get such a brain, Gordan?"
"Can I leave?" he said anxiously.
"Go ahead," said Lucien.
So Godin left her study.
"Then I'll tell him." Lucien asked Georgiana.
She nodded.
"Anyway, if you want to make a sculpture, why don't you paint a portrait?"
"No." She shook her head firmly.
"Why?"
"He understands what's going on." She smiled mysteriously, like the Mona Lisa. "Tell me the story about Charlotte Corday."
"When the play is rehearsed, you can go watch it with him." Lucien put his legs down and said, "I will bring someone over to see you in the afternoon."
"who?"
"One of the five directors of the Directory, Carnot, fought with the British in Belgium, but he was a republican and had a falling out with Fouche."
"How do you introduce such a troublesome person to me?"
"That's how Napoleon sees me." Lucien smiled proudly, then stood up to leave.
"Are you really going to kill Napoleon?" Georgiana asked Lucien, "just like you said on oath in public during the Coup of Brumaire."
"How can you take acting seriously?" Lucien said jokingly, "Leave it to me to worry about safety, and you can be busy with your own business."
Georgiana took a look at the script and the construction plan in Belgium and decided to read the script first.
It looks quite thin, so I should be able to read it quickly.
She thought so innocently.
