Chapter 159 Charlotte's Mansion and Louis...
Paris, the Saint-Honoré area, Charoster Mansion, this is the residence of Princess Polina and her adopted son Delmeide in Paris.
In November 1802, after General Charles Leclerc died of yellow fever in Haiti, his wife, Polyna Bonaparte, returned to France. Napoleon, who was still the first ruling at the time, treated his sister warmly and kindly, and his brother-in-law's son Dellmead (son of General Leclerc and his deceased wife).
Perhaps out of guilt, Napoleon tried every means to relieve his most favored sister's worries and make her have fun. The first governor bought this Charoster mansion for Polina and signed a contract for all the new furniture, new clothes and jewelry that the latter bought.
There are many troubles in front of the widow's door, and this is true in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
Since the beginning of 1803, the lustful people gathered in Paris began to rush to flock to the consul’s sister, and flattered Polina, who lost her husband and the respected status. Even though the imperial princess later married an Italian prince, whenever Polina returned to Paris (Polina stayed in Paris for at least 4 or 5 months in a year), there would always be a long-awaited bee and butterfly waiting outside the Charoster mansion, among which there were many senior government officials. Everyone hoped that through Polina, the emperor would favor him and become more promising.
When the time came to 1810, the originally bustling Charoster Mansion suddenly became deserted. The good people in Paris were unwilling to do so, or dared not be obsessed with it anymore.
Nothing else, the Duke of Desay has turned the Charoster Mansion into his own in the Second Duke's Mansion in Paris, and comes here to spend the night or stay every week. The young duke is not old and has a big temper. Once he finds a charmer appearing beside Princess Polina, he directly ordered the guards to punch and kick and hit the streets to dry.
Flirting with women is a romantic affair in the upper class of Paris, and duels for lovers are not new. But Andrew Desay obviously did not follow the rules and actually used guards to beat all competitors out in a rough manner, and it was not in his Duke's Mansion.
Someone once complained to the Palace of Duille, but Napoleon was loudly scolding the guy with a bruised nose and face, and deserved to be incompetent. Soon, the emperor would find a reason to send the loser to the bench, and former Minister of the Navy Decree was one of the unlucky ones.
Calling the police to the Paris Police Station is also a humiliation. Everyone knows the intimate relationship between the police Minister General Savari and the Duke of Desay. No one dares to have this courage to fight violence with violence. Since publicly beating Marshal Udino and creating a night of killing in Paris, no one has despised the Duke of Hruna, who looks polite and cruel in his heart.
A four-wheeled sedan was parked steadily in the front yard of the Charlotte Mansion. The violets and Gaul chickens printed on the outside of the carriage have been marked as the owner of the carriage, Andrew Desay, the Imperial General, Duke of Khruna, and the future Prince of Catalonia, and perhaps the noble crown prince of Poland.
Unlike the male guests who visited Princess Polina before, the male servants and maids of the Charoster Mansion liked this young duke who was smiling and kind to others very much. Because Desai was not used to using a little money to send Princess Polina's personal servant, instead, as a friend, he gave all kinds of small gifts, such as fragile candies, delicious canned food, etc.
"Hello, Lord Duke!" The attendants of the mansion put down their plans and bowed to Desai at the same time. One or two more courageous young maids began to look at what good things were transported from the carriage the duke was riding.
Desai smiled and nodded back, and the Duke's attendant, Captain Penduwas, called several familiar servants to come and carry the gifts.
"Ah, it's silk!" The maid who came forward screamed loudly.
"So beautiful, so smooth!" He had his hands and feet quicker and had already touched them.
"These silks should come from the ancient East, and are more than five times more precious than those produced in Lyon!" said the old butler of the goods.
Princess Polina, who came to hear the news, stood on the balcony on the second floor, and joked at the generous and kind person in the yard: "Sir Duke, you are bribing my servant again!"
Desai took off his horned hat with grace and gave a medieval aristocratic ceremony to the lady on the balcony, "Dear Your Highness, that's because they all serve you, the most beautiful princess in the empire!"
Then, he climbed up the steps, and before entering the hall, the duke turned around and told everyone, "One horse is for each person, choose it yourself!"
"I sincerely praise you, Lord Duke, the generous Duke!" Although the steady male servant stared at the precious gifts unloaded by the coachman, he still maintained the demeanor and etiquette they should have.
The maids had already cheered for a long time, and everyone rushed forward to choose their favorite colors and commented on which summer dress to make the best.
Up to the second floor, Desai found Polina waiting outside the room, quiet and graceful, like her wife welcoming her husband back. Especially her charming and charming eyes, she was so charming that the young duke was so happy that she was not thinking about Shu.
At this time, the servants in the mansion were all choosing gifts downstairs. In the empty corridor, Desai and Polina hugged and kissed each other warmly until a few minutes later, the lady with a heavy breath and a blushed face gently broke free from the man's strong arms and wrists.
The two entered the room together, study rather than bedroom. This hint made Desai understand that Polina had something to discuss with her.
"I heard you gave Queen Louise 60 high-quality silk?" The princess blinked mischievously, spread her hands, deliberately showing her slender figure that day, and was asking her lover for her gift.
Desai took a deep breath, and finally temporarily suppressed his inner impulse, and wanted to put the fanatical idea of "reforming the Dharma on the spot" in front of him. He took out a key from his arms and placed it gently on the desk.
"The sixth warehouse at Pier 2 of Hegang is placed in more than 2,000 oriental silk. If your people choose the batch in Area A on the left, it is also of the best quality. Haha, there is no limit on the quantity, and I will give the rest to your brother and sister-in-law, the Queen Ollidi."
Polina took the warehouse key into her arms without hesitation and asked, "Why not talk about the Duille Palace?"
The Duke smiled and shook his head, "You know everything, why should I do this forever!"
Desai left the palace and then went to the Duhe Harbour Wharf, and finally arrived at the Sharost Mansion. It was less than an hour before he agreed to contribute 60 pieces of silk to the new Queen of Olidi. However, Princess Polina had already clearly known the facts of the Duilary Palace, and of course, it would also include the emperor's orders and commitments to the Duke.
As Napoleon's favorite sister, Princess Polina also has her own source of intelligence. Although it is far less than the size of the Military Intelligence Agency, with many personnel, quick actions and fierce means, the Imperial Princess can accurately learn about the important information that occurs in Paris, especially the Palace of Duille and Fontainebleau. The efficiency is much faster than that of the Military Intelligence Agency.
Polina silently glanced at her lover's guess and asked: "It seems that you are not optimistic about this Portuguese war?"
Desai did not deny his true thoughts and replied: "Like all French commanders on the Iberis Peninsula, I also believe that only the emperor can go on an expedition in person can completely resolve the war between Spain and Portugal. People in Paris know that Marshal Massena and Marshal Sirte's holidays will not work at all!
Of course, I understand the emperor's concerns. He is worried that the attempted coup in 1809 will repeat itself in Paris and that France will fall into chaos again. Therefore, it is understandable that His Majesty needs a noble belly to give birth to the heir of the throne to maintain the century-long rule of this huge empire. However, everything should not be followed by the mercy of the Ollidian woman!"
Unintentionally or intentionally, Desai took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction with Emperor Napoleon and the Queen of Austria. The more he spoke, he became more and more excited. Until Polina took a step forward and gently covered his lover's lips with her slender jade hands.
When the fragrance swelled, the young duke who was infatuated with his previous worries and kissed the woman's fingers, arms, and then to his red face. Polina burst into laughter and took two steps back, causing Desay's attempt to pull her dress to fail.
"Wait for a while, I have something to discuss with you!" Polina blocked her hands in front of her chest to stop the man's next violation.
"Okay, hurry up, you are such a bad goblin!" Desai Se-looking at the princess in a daze, with bad intentions in her heart.
"Please lend me a group of sergeants!"
“How many people are needed?”
“Twelve are enough!”
"No problem, my beauty!"
When Polina Song opened his arms on his chest, the man's Lushan claws had already climbed to the top at the first time. After a passionate kiss, he hugged the woman in the waist and sent the woman to the bedroom next door to feast.
The original instincts of men and women continue until sunset and dusk,
After several tribulations, the princess and the duke who were dressed neatly returned to the study room again.
Polina had a satisfied and happy expression, but Desai wondered in her heart why her concentration became so bad. After going upstairs, she was like a bull in heat. Before he came to the Charlotte Mansion, he and Polina were always fascinated by red wine before going to bed with him, and tasted the elegant mood of "wine is not intoxicating, everyone is drunk by themselves, and people are not intoxicating, and people are confused by themselves".
"Damn it must be the consequences of being teased by Napoleon and Austrian women in the palace!"
Putting aside the self-examination, Desai returned the topic before, because he was curious about the strange behavior of the mistress asking her to use the guards. As the princess of the Empire, Polina has the right to call less than 20 military policemen in Paris to serve as her entourage guards.
"The day before yesterday, Louis issued an abdication edict and no longer acted as the Dutch king. I want to escort their family to Rome and reunite with his mother." Polina leaned against the sofa and explained to Desay, her expression on her face also became dull.
This is the second civil war between the Bonaparte family. It was Lucien Bonaparte before, but now it is Louis Bonaparte's turn, and the initiator is Napoleon Bonaparte.
A week ago, a French army crossed the French-Dutch border with the Netherlands under the command of Duke Trezo (Marrison Udino). Following the emperor's order, the French marshal threatened to occupy Amsterdam and asked Louis to voluntarily give up the Dutch kingship. As a last resort, Louis decided to abandon the untrue royal power. After sending a message to the legislature, he issued an edict to abdicate.
Because Louis Bonaparte was worried that he and his family would be placed under house arrest by his brother Napoleon's guards and then sent to Paris to be humiliated, the abdicated Dutch king asked his sister Princess Polina to send them to Italy in person, either to reclusive Rome or to the United States.
"When will you set off?" Desai asked.
"We must leave tonight. The Louis family will wait for me in Luxembourg. We cannot let Napoleon know this!" said Polina.
After thinking for a while, Desai told his lover: "I am leaving the mansion now. In one hour, my people will wait for you at the intersection of the North Line Avenue and the Montmartre Heights. In addition, you must remind Louis and his family to stay in Italy and not to consider going to the United States. You and I are both aware of the emperor's habits, time will calm all the anger, and everything will be reunited.
