Make France Great Again

Chapter 804: Disgusting Spanish Court Etiquette

Just when Queen Augusta and Elizabeth were sighing at the order of women in the world, Jerome Bonaparte was communicating with the important officials attending the banquet at the Hofburg Palace under the introduction of Franz Joseph.

The first person Franz Joseph introduced to Jerome Bonaparte was none other than the 79-year-old Marshal Radetzky.

"Jerome, this is Marquis Radetzky! Now serving as the Governor of Venice and Lombardy!" Franz Joseph introduced to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty!" Marshal Radetzky responded to Jérôme Bonaparte with great vigor even though he was 89 years old.

"Raider Radetzky, it's an honor to meet you, a legend!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and shook hands with Radetzky.

"Your Majesty, you are so flattering!" Marshal Radetzky responded humbly to Jerome Bonaparte, and then responded flatteringly: "I am just a warrior, but you are the emperor of a country.

You are the real legend! "

"You are too modest!" Jérôme Bonaparte also responded humbly, "The people who can stand out in the era of great changes are far beyond those of us who grew up in peacetime!"

"Your Majesty, that era belonged to His Majesty Napoleon, the Duke of Wellington and Archduke Karl, and I was just a nobody!

Because I have lived longer than those legends, my name can fall into your ears! "Marshal Radetzki still maintains a humble attitude.

Franz Joseph, who saw that both Jerome Bonaparte and Marshal Radetzky were overly modest, cleared his throat and tactfully bid farewell to Radetzky on behalf of Jerome Bonaparte.

He was afraid that if the two of them continued to be so humble, the entire dinner would be spent complimenting each other.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph left Radetzky and arrived in front of a middle-aged man wearing a light blue military uniform.

"This is General Albrecht, now serving as the Governor of Hungary!" Franz Joseph introduced to Jerome Bonaparte again.

"Hello, General Albrecht!" Jerome Bonaparte also stretched out his hand and said to Albrecht: "Your performance during the Omimutz period was really great!"

There was a hint of surprise on Albrecht's face. He did not expect that His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte could still remember Omimutz from a few years ago. He also responded humbly to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, you have thanked me!"

Jerome Bonaparte immediately sent an invitation to Albrecht, hoping that he could travel to France in his free time to strengthen exchanges between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire.

Albrecht stated that if given the opportunity, he would definitely go to the French Empire.

Immediately afterwards, Franz Joseph introduced Windischgratz and others to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte communicated with them enthusiastically, and soon the time reached 7 o'clock in the evening.

Following a solemn announcement from the steward of the Hofburg Palace, Jérôme Bonaparte and his wife Franz Joseph went to the restaurant for dinner under the guidance of the steward.

The important ministers attending the Hofburg Palace (there were ministers with insufficient status who went to another restaurant) also ate with Jerome Bonaparte and others.

When Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph arrived at the restaurant, they saw a long dining table that could accommodate 50 people.

There are four armchairs placed on the main seat of the dining table, which is obviously where Jérôme Bonaparte and his wife and Franz Joseph and his wife will sit.

"Four majesties, please take a seat!" The palace manager bowed and said to them.

Jerome Bonaparte and his wife, Franz Joseph and his wife, sat down first, and then the remaining guests also sat down one after another under the guidance of the royal steward and the surrounding servants.

As everyone present sat down, the palace manager hurriedly poured wine for the four majesties, and the remaining servants also poured wine for the important officials attending the banquet.

After all the princes and ministers had poured wine into their glasses, Franz Joseph, as the host, raised his glass and called on everyone present to toast the arrival of Jerome Bonaparte and his wife.

Everyone, including Jérôme Bonaparte and his wife, raised their glasses to win together, and the first glass of wine ended like this.

After everyone put down their wine glasses, the palace steward then winked at the surrounding servants, and the servants poured wine for the important ministers again. The palace steward also poured wine for Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph.

After the second glass of wine began, Jerome Bonaparte raised his glass to express his gratitude to Franz Joseph for his hospitality, and at the same time called on everyone present to cheer for the friendship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire.

Everyone raised their glasses again and shouted "Long live" three times, and the second glass of wine was enough.

After two glasses of aperitifs, servants holding aluminum plates entered the restaurant one after another, and they placed dishes one after another in front of everyone.

Everyone started to eat under the guidance of the two monarchs. Perhaps because of the rules set by the Hofburg Palace, the entire dinner was very polite. Basically, after taking a small bite of each dish, the dishes were quickly removed and replaced. Another dish.

This once again made Jerome Bonaparte feel tormented by dining. By the end of the whole banquet, Jerome Bonaparte was only half full.

But even so, the entire banquet also took nearly two hours.

Everyone who was "satisfied" began to engage in the next entertainment, which was dancing.

Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta, Franz Joseph and Elizabeth, the two monarchs danced to elegant music.

After the dance ended, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta walked off the dance floor.

After Franz Joseph and Elizabeth Yin saw Jerome Bonaparte and his wife walking down the dance floor, they also followed closely behind.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Franz Joseph asked Jerome Bonaparte with concern.

"No!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and Franz Joseph replied, "Augusta and I have been dancing basically every night these days, so we are a little tired and want to take a rest! Franz , you and Yin Lisabai can go dance again! Don’t worry about us!"

Franz Joseph glanced at Lisa Bai beside him. After he found that Lisa Bai didn’t want to return to the dance floor, he also shook his head and responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "I will still accompany you. Bar!"

The four of them sat on the chairs under the dance floor and looked at the dancing people on the dance floor.

After a while, Jérôme Bonaparte asked the servants lingering around the dance floor for four glasses of wine.

After the servant brought four glasses of wine, Jerome Bonaparte invited Franz Joseph to drink again.

This time, everyone did not drink as much as before, but only tasted it.

After dancing to two songs, the wine was less than half drunk.

Then the palace steward appeared again and told everyone present that they could change their dance partners.

Upon seeing this, several noble ladies immediately appeared in front of Franz Joseph and Jerome Bonaparte. They invited Jerome Bonaparte and Franz in front of Elizabeth and Queen Augusta. Josephus dances.

Looking at the noble lady Franz Joseph in front of him, he was a little eager to try. He glanced at Jerome Bonaparte and the meaning was self-evident!

"Franz, you go first!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Franz Joseph, then pointed to the red wine in the glass and said: "I personally like it from beginning to end!"

"Okay!" Franz Joseph had no choice but to dance with one of the ladies.

At this time, he did not see the hint of sadness in Yin Lisabai's eyes.

Seeing that Jerome Bonaparte was unwilling to dance with them, the remaining ladies had to return to the dance floor to find other nobles to dance with.

The music sounded again, and Franz Joseph, standing in the center of the dance floor, began to dance.

Jerome Bonaparte continued to taste the wine and kept looking at the crowd on the dance floor.

Seeing this, Augusta, who was sitting next to Jerome Bonaparte, immediately came to Jerome Bonaparte and whispered, "When the next song comes, you invite Si Akane, let’s have a dance!”

After listening to Augusta's words, Jerome Bonaparte had a look of astonishment on his face, and he lowered his voice and responded: "What do you want to do?"

Although Jerome Bonaparte could indeed invite Elizabeth Yin to dance, the dancing in the past few days had almost made him hate dancing, and he really didn't want to continue on the dance floor.

"Dance!" Queen Augusta responded immediately.

"Is there something wrong with you?" Elizabeth Yin, who was sitting opposite Jérôme Bonaparte, asked them with curious eyes.

Queen Augusta hurriedly got in front of Elizabeth and told her that Jérôme Bonaparte wanted to invite her to dance.

"Really! Your Majesty!" Elizabeth Yin turned her gaze to Jérôme Bonaparte and asked.

Looking at the little 18-year-old woman in front of him, Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and said politely: "I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite you to dance with me!"

"Your Majesty, this is my honor!" Elizabeth Yin replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

After the dance ended, Jérôme Bonaparte stood up and faced Elizabeth Yin.

Elizabeth Yin also stood up quickly. Seeing this, everyone on the dance floor turned their attention to the direction of Jérôme Bonaparte.

I saw Jérôme Bonaparte gently holding Elizabeth Yin's hand, putting it to her mouth and kissing her, and said without any worries: "Can I invite you to dance? My angel!"

Faced with Jérôme Bonaparte's affectionate address, Elizabeth Yin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Of course! Your Majesty!"
