Chapter 1343 The Lion and the Fox (Part 1)

Marie Antoinette's necklace incident is certainly a scandal that affects the credibility of the royal family, but the key point is that someone forged her signature, and Jeanne, as an intermediary, claimed that the forged letter given to the cardinal was from the queen.

written.

Having this golden bee seal means that she is also an "identified person". Others can forge her signature and seal and obtain huge benefits. It is said that the necklace can buy a warship, which is so expensive

Even Marie Antoinette refused to buy it.

The queen's reputation was damaged, and the king suffered as well. The necklace was originally given to Madame Du Barry by Louis XV, but because he died of smallpox, Madame Du Barry was expelled by the new king, so this luxurious necklace did not have time to be given.

into the hands of Madame du Barry.

Under the current situation, the only way to save credibility is through vaccination, but that is not something that needs to be done now, immediately, or immediately.

Generals who order soldiers to grow beards are not necessarily republicans, but also old aristocrats. If Georgiana were to deal with Jeanne who stole the necklace, she would not let Jeanne go with a whip like Louis XVI.

Go away, now that branding is still legal, she will have Jeanne's face branded with everlasting marks, and then she will be exposed to the public for three days, and then she will be sentenced to exile.

Suppression does not necessarily have to rely on bloody conflicts. A woman who loves jewelry generally loves beauty. If her proud face is ruined, the person's arrogance will disappear.

You also need to use your intelligence to deal with an intellectual and powerful minister like Sieyes. Not every man is as greedy for beauty as the cardinal who bought the necklace.

A few days ago, the Corsicans asked her to read the book written by Sieyes, but she didn't take it to heart. It seemed that she could not always understand Leon's thoughts.

The most important thing about yesterday's cold letter was not to create any complications, but she did not have a place to live. The Louvre was as big as the Louvre, and the Ministry of Greek and Egyptian Antiquities did not necessarily have to set up an office upstairs in the library.

She couldn't live without a place to entertain guests, and the Tuileries was not the place for her, no matter how many drawing rooms there were.

A woman who is unscrupulous when she is favored will either be sent to an unknown place like Paulin, or be sent to the guillotine like Du Barry.

Fortunately, there are still many "sensible" people. When Georgiana returned from St. Luke's, these departments had already vacated the place, and the servants of the Tuileries Palace and her two maids were waiting for her.

's instructions.

As long as there is a bedroom, a living room, and a desk, she has no objection to the furnishings and decorations in the room. Sieyes is coming in the afternoon, and she doesn't know what to do yet.

Fortunately, not long after she came back, the "helpers" came. Mrs. Lyoncourt and Alice came. They brought a lot of furniture, which should be enough for emergency use.

After this period of time is over, Georgiana may find a designer, but since someone will handle the "internal affairs", she will no longer interfere. She wrote a letter and asked the 17th Infantry to protect her safety.

The soldiers of the division were sent to Notre Dame de Paris, where she wanted to find her guardian Caprara.

Everyone knows what yesterday's ceremony means, but legally Georgiana is still unmarried, and according to the law she still needs a guardian.

At this time, she suddenly felt that she was not so offended by being treated as a minor.

When writing the letter, she stamped a bee emblem with a pure gold seal on the fire paint, and then sprinkled gold powder on it. The letter she wrote using the family emblem for the first time in her life was completed.

She didn't know whether this was Napoleon's own hobby, or whether he knew that the Merovingian royal family of France once used a golden bee as their family emblem, and that royal family was replaced by the Carolingian dynasty a thousand years ago.

The common people may not know it, and the church may not know it. She can't tell whether he has the intention of proclaiming himself king or emperor. Anyway, he gave her this badge, which is more useful than the Regency-style pom-poms.

After the letter was delivered, her whole body went limp. She felt that she was really having a funny and absurd dream, so she couldn't help laughing.

She likes a simple life and can do a lot of housework by herself, but now she has to add maids and companions, and she will also be involved in the same problems as Marie Antoinette.

She liked Leon very much. He was enthusiastic and as diligent as a bee, making him a good husband.

But it is impossible for her to start a family with two men. As he said, that is something only a very shameless person can do.

Caesar was stabbed to death with a dagger, but Severus was looking for a dagger in the Louvre. To assassinate Napoleon Bonaparte required the courage to die, and maybe she would lose them both at once.

The polyjuice potion requires hair, and the bracelet Bonaparte gave her also contained his hair. These gold bracelets were not left by the previous royal family, but he had asked his gold and silverware craftsman Marchand to make them a long time ago.

of.

That day by the canal, her hair got tangled in the button of his coat. He later untied the hair and asked Marchand to make a bracelet to store it.

Marchand made a pair, and now they each had one, which he did not wear on the hand on which he wore the Ring of Destiny.

After putting on the bracelet, Georgiana gave him a slap in the face, and then she took a carriage and returned to Paris under the escort of the cavalry sent by Davout.

Marie-Anne Leonardo was a famous fortune teller in Paris. She had divined fortunes for Josephine, Robespierre, and Marat.

She used tarot cards for divination, and Bonaparte also asked Georgiana to do a divination for him, but she only drew one card for him.

She told him that the chariot would not stop. Napoleon was just like what the card represented. He was capable of fighting, strong in action, ambitious and energetic. She would not rein him in like a rein.

not to stop, but to control the direction of his progress.

So far it should be good, because the mutiny did not happen and more people focused on his personal feud with Guerande.

Many people who have experienced the Great Revolution know that many people, under the guise of revolution and patriotism, seem to be doing their best for the Republic, but in fact they are extracting benefits for themselves.

The church's assets are valued at 2.5 billion, and most of them have been sold before the Thermidor coup. However, the exiles' property is conservatively estimated at 2 billion, and the forest is 2.2 billion. In the past, the Directory government used a triple tax rate to persuade these exiles to return to the country.

When the exiles returned home, they stopped collecting, and Napoleon returned the properties to their original owners, if they were brave enough to come back.

The furniture that Georgiana uses now is all bought from the old furniture market. They once belonged to different families and were placed in different living rooms, bedrooms and study rooms.

Montesquieu said that taxation is to pay part of the property and protect another part of the property, but the nobles obviously did not read this sentence and regarded the right to tax exemption as an honor.

Failure to pay taxes puts all property at risk, and with an overly benevolent king, the "good times" they once had are gone.

People who can't wake up will never wake up. It's really tiring to work with such people.

In contrast, Leon's stormy working style is full of excitement and challenges.

He must have set a trap for the British, otherwise he would not have let go of the British king who had eaten up the French colonies, plunged France into civil strife, and was still spying on the profits of the tobacco trade just because of Georgiana's plea.

"What evil idea is he planning?" she thought maliciously, imagining the Corsican sitting on the chair opposite her and her ankles rubbing his legs through her boots.

Will he be angry, or will he indulge her like Severus?

"Meow~~~"

St. Luke's short-legged stray cat appeared at her feet, and she decided to adopt it, but she hadn't decided what to call it yet.

She bent down, picked it up, put it on her knees, and stroked its variegated fur.

"It would be nice if your lifespans could be longer, humans." The half-blood Veela said pitifully. After experiencing so much, how will she face the long life of a widow in the future?

Originally, she could have been content to share her spare life and let Severus stay with her all the time. Perhaps God felt that it was wrong to do so, so he let the dwarf step in.

Immortality was not what Severus expected. She was just willfully afraid of being lonely, so she forced him to do things he didn't want to do.

She really looks like an old fool.

"Who told you that I have never seen a lion, Tyrant?" She petted the short-legged cat affectionately, and said a little eagerly, "How about calling you Tyrant from now on?"

The short-legged cat ignored her.

It made a comfortable purring sound and looked like it was about to fall asleep.
