Chapter 1403 Swan Knight

After the military parade, and returning to Madame Recamier's house, Georgiana received an unexpected letter.

It was written by Napoleon's mother Letizia. In the letter, she described Delmid's current situation and discussed with Georgiana how to reduce their living expenses.

Letizia's living expenses increased to 1 million francs a month after Napoleon became First Consul, and Georgiana had no objection to this.

Georgiana is more worried about other issues than money. Letizia is now the nun's protector, and she doesn't know how much she will be affected by the church.

Frugality is a virtue, but if you are too frugal, the silk fabric workers in Lyon will not be able to work, and the employment of tens of thousands of people will become a problem. Napoleon's participation in suppressing the Lyon workers' riots is directly related to this.

In order to help them, the people in power in Lyon at that time borrowed 3 million, but instead of paying it directly to those affected by the disaster, they asked them to go out to work. But in the end, the loan was not successful because the notes issued at that time, which were similar to banknotes, were worthless.

Farmers don't use it anymore.

Lan Zhi said that the harvest in 1792 was actually better than the previous year, but the supply of grain in circulation on the market was still insufficient. It was not a conspiracy of the aristocrats as the revolutionaries said, but the farmers did not sell grain, and the workers used paper coupons as wages.

It's useless at all. Coins are hard to pass, but you will have to bear losses when converting banknotes into coins.

While writing the letter, Georgiana encountered a problem. She didn't know what to call Letizia.

Georgiana was the same age as Letizia, and Napoleon was old enough to be her son.

She really couldn't bring herself to call Letizia "Mother", nor was it suitable to call her Madame Bonaparte. In the end, Georgiana chose to use Letizia's Christian name. Harry also usually calls Sirius by his Christian name. Besides, Georgiana chose to use Letizia's Christian name.

Letizia's Christian name is not Napoleon's, so she can be called whatever she wants.

After the letter was written, Georgiana used wax paint and stamped her private seal - it was a sun orchid. The yellow sun orchid is very common in the UK. It symbolizes the liberated land and grows freely in the Scottish Highlands. At the same time, it

The language of flowers is wildness, and lilac represents innocence.

Georgiana still didn't think Napoleon should indulge in divination and occultism. This was a bad habit, especially for a Muggle emperor and king.

Now the feeling Napoleon gave her had changed. He was not a warm sun, but he was neither an emperor nor a chariot.

She felt very uneasy, but it was not the extremely dangerous feeling she had before the last canal opening ceremony, so she took out the tarot cards from her luggage and put them on the table.

She put all the cards, not just the Major Arcana, but also the Minor Arcana, into the deck, and then closed her eyes to sense the cards.

She seemed to feel silk thread, or steel wire, on her fingertips, almost cutting her finger.

She paused at the card and turned it over.

"What card is it?" Napoleon asked.

Georgiana turned around and found that he had changed into a black tuxedo with green trim.

"I've never seen you wearing this dress."

"This is the uniform of the French Academy." Napoleon showed it to her proudly. "How do I look?"

Georgiana said tiredly, "You look good in red, but the color is too restless. Can you come over and give me a hug?"

"Of course." He agreed very generously, and Georgiana sat down and accepted his embrace.

She smelled the smell of camphor, which also has the effect of repelling insects. It seemed that his clothes had been stored for a long time.

"How do you feel?" he asked gently.

"I feel better, thank you." Georgiana asked softly.

"Can you tell me what card was drawn?" Napoleon asked again.

"Five of Swords." Georgiana turned over the cards in her hand and showed them to Napoleon.

Napoleon took the card. There were three people on the card, two losers hiding their faces and discarding their swords, and one person was collecting their weapons with a weird smile on his lips.

"Do you know about Merlin and King Arthur?" she asked.

"You want to tell a story again?" He sat on the armrest of the armchair where she sat, looking like he was listening.

"I want to be your Merlin," she said calmly, "even if you don't pull the sword out of the stone."

"Are you complimenting me?" He grabbed her hand and looked at the ring on her hand.

"You have advantages and disadvantages, but I can't please you for a ring." Georgiana retracted her hand. "Please be careful, my lion, the victory of the Five of Swords is short-lived and does not bring any joy. The warrior is both

Not happy or proud."

"I know it without you having to tell me." He said coldly, "Everyone is unhappy today."

"Including Josephine?" Georgiana said teasingly, her dress fully met Napoleon's requirements - "be pretty".

"They are looking forward to you." He grabbed Georgiana's hand again and "come to the base camp with me later."

"What to do?"

"To see people."

"Should I dress up nicely?" She smiled sarcastically.

"Didn't you say you were going to use the expeditionary force that came back from Egypt?" He pinched her ear. "Do you think they will listen to you?"

Georgiana would never forget that it was the British who defeated the French in Egypt.

“Do they hate me more or do they hate Menu?”

"If you were Merlin, they might not listen to you, but if you were my wife, they might." He said with a smile in a good mood, "They came back from the polygamous East."

She felt she should be angry at this time, but she couldn't help but laugh.

"Do they admire you and think you conquered England in another way?"

"It was you who conquered me." He said sweetly, lowering his head and kissing her lips. "I want to lie in your arms."

"You are a philanderer." She pointed at his Greek nose and said, "Is there any other woman I don't know about?"

"I want to hear your story, I need enlightenment." He whispered in her ear, "Please help me, this poor person."

This feeling was extremely strange, as if it was the first time she knew that Napoleon would actually beg for mercy from her.

"I used to be a very good teacher." Georgiana said. "I led by example and taught the children to be fair and upright people. But Severus took me away from school and you turned me into a person in the public eye."

The most immodest woman here is Josephine. She was originally free, but now she is restricted by various etiquette. Is this a hobby of your men?"

He smiled but said nothing.

"Asshole," she whispered.

"I've read the script you wrote. Why did you want to write Richard II?"

"It's because of the white deer whose throat is locked by the crown." She said expressionlessly, "I don't like that seal."

"What about the swan with the crown locked around its throat?"

Georgiana glared at him.

"According to legend, at the beginning of the Crusades, there was a handsome knight who was not only excellent in martial arts, but also had a swan with a gold chain to pull the boat for him. One day, he was sitting on the boat and met

There was a girl crying on the shore. The knight asked her why she was crying so much. The girl told him that she was originally the lord's daughter. After her parents died, she could have inherited the castle and other properties, but they were stolen by her uncle.

He came here to avoid being chased by his uncle. After listening to the girl's description, the knight not only helped her fight off her uncle, but also married the girl he had secretly promised to marry. But the knight had a secret, and she couldn't ask him who it was.

Who and where did it come from? The girl agreed to this condition. However, the girl's uncle did not give up. He bribed a witch and cursed his niece's wedding. Finally, on the night when the two were getting married, the girl could not hold back her curiosity.

She asked the knight's name, but she regretted it as soon as she spoke it, and begged the knight to forget what she had just said, but the knight did not forget. This was a curse on him, and he could only say goodbye to the girl sadly. The 11th century King of Jerusalem Gover

Ray claims to be the descendant of these two men, and Godfrey's descendants all have golden chain swans on their descendants."

She looked at him confused.

"I once thought that you were the swan that pulled my boat and took me around the world, but I later discovered that that was not what I wanted. Why did you smile at me that day in front of the Crown of Thorns?"

"When the imperial concubine laughs, no one knows it is Lychee. You have put so much effort into letting me see the Crown of Thorns. I think you want to see me smile more than be condemned."

"What did you say before?" he asked.

"In Eastern poetry, a once wise emperor used the fast horse used to deliver battle reports to deliver lychees in order to make his beloved concubine happy."

He fell into deep thought.

"I don't want you to end up locked up like him." She whispered.

"How do you know I don't want to be locked up?" he said with a smile.

"Are you crazy?"

"I only went to the dance today for half an o'clock." He kissed her lips again, "I find that I am happier with your friends."

"Where do I have any friends?"

"What do you think friendship should be like?"

She was tilting her head to think, but he rubbed her ears affectionately, and then took her to the lounge chair to take a nap.
