Make France Great Again

Chapter 12 Passionate Victoria

"Ambitious?"

Albert's face was raised slightly, and his strong curiosity made him shift his target from Louis Napoleon to Jerome Bonaparte, and subconsciously spit out a sentence in German.

In the bones of the Bonaparte family, there is indeed a Corsican blood of rebels!

Prince Albert sighed silently in his heart.

More than 30 years have passed since Napoleon Bonaparte lost the throne. The Bonaparte family has never stopped chasing the throne for a moment, and Bonaparte's henchmen have never given up for a day.

From Count Rechtstadt (King of Rome), Napoleon Louis (Louis Napoleon's elder brother), Louis Napoleon, and now Jerome Bonaparte, the second generation of the Bonaparte family has been selected. Lost 3, they are still not giving up on the French throne.

Albert didn't know whether to say they were tenacious or stubborn.

"That's right! Your Royal Highness!" Dr. James told Prince Albert the details of his conversation with Jerome.

Prince Albert frowned sometimes, sometimes relieved, he got up and paced back and forth in the small room.

Seeing this, Dr. James also did not dare to continue sitting on the sofa. He hurriedly followed Prince Albert and stood on the sofa, holding the sofa with one hand, and the other hand clinging to the brown and black leather trousers on his lower body. Look at Albert from time to time.

"Your Highness, the black tea is here!" The rough Scottish English came from outside the door, bringing Albert back from thinking to reality.

Albert, who came back to his senses, looked at Dr. James with an embarrassed expression, with an apologetic expression on his face again: "Dr. James, I'm very sorry! Because of me..."

"Your Highness, it's nothing!" Doctor James hurriedly waved his hands in response, and then saluted: "It is my honor to serve the royal family!"

"Then please sit down!"

Called by Albert, Doctor James sat down again, and several attendants carefully placed a small round table carved from pine wood in front of Doctor James and Albert.

Immediately afterwards, a plate of snacks, a small pot of black tea and two small black tea cups were placed on the round table.

John Brown carefully picked up the black tea pot and poured it into one of the cups, then took a step back and returned to where the attendant was standing.

Prince Albert carefully picked up the teacup, took two breaths of hot air slowly, and then took a sip of the black tea, showing an intoxicated expression.

Although the taste of Indian black tea is not as good as that of its neighboring countries, the advantage is that the quantity is large, which can ensure that every British citizen can drink authentic black tea.

Black tea paired with milk and sugar is a must for the British people to satisfy their hunger.

After tasting it carefully, Prince Albert thought of Dr. James. He was about to get the teapot to help Dr. James pour tea.

Unexpectedly, Dr. James "snatched" it first, and Prince Albert's cup was filled with black tea again, and he also poured black tea for himself by the way.

A silent afternoon tea ended in only half an hour. Prince Albert thought a lot, and Dr. James also suffered for half an hour.

"His Royal Highness, I should go!" Doctor James half-bowed and humbly expressed his willingness to leave to Prince Albert.

Albert, who got the answer he wanted from Dr. James, was unwilling to let the doctor continue to "suffer". He politely expressed to Dr. James that he hoped to meet again next time, and asked John Brown to pass this The guests sent each other away.

After Doctor James left with John Brown, Prince Albert also left the side room. This time he came to a room in the backyard of Buckingham Palace.

Accompanied by Prince Albert's knock on the door,

An elegant German "Come in" came from inside the door, and Prince Albert smiled like a mature man who fascinated thousands of young girls.

A woman with a slightly bloated figure due to pregnancy is sitting on a long sofa with her hands crossed and humming a lullaby from German children, while she is holding a sleeping "elf" in her arms. ".

"Victoria, you know..." Albert didn't seem to notice the existence of "elf", and his voice seemed to be more high-pitched than usual.

"Shh!" Victoria made a silent movement, and pointed to the baby in her arms.

Only then did Albert realize the existence of the child, and he quickly swallowed the words he was about to say.

But it was too late for all of this. The one-month-old "elf" in Victoria's arms was awakened by her father's door pushing and "noisy" sound.

"Wow!"

"Elf" burst into tears, Victoria looked at Albert complainingly, and could only laugh dryly.

Victoria continued to hum the ballad from Germany while gently shaking her arms.

Under the mother's gentle care and singing, the little baby stopped making noise, and quietly stared at the mother in front of him.

The maids outside the door thought the child was hungry again after hearing the cries inside the door, so they hurriedly found the nanny who was stranded in Buckingham Palace.

The nurse followed the maid into the room, looked at Victoria and the princess in her hand, and said, "Your Majesty, let me do it!"

Victoria glanced at Albert again with reproachful eyes, handed the princess to the nanny and asked them to take good care of the princess.

The nanny carefully held the little princess in Victoria's arms, saluted Victoria slightly, and left the room.

Only Victoria and Albert were left in the room.

"It's all your fault! You woke up Louise!" Queen Victoria pouted and complained to Albert like a little girl.

I'm afraid that no one can imagine that a woman who controls most of the world will show the same expression as a little girl.

Looking at Victoria's childish expression, Prince Albert hugged Victoria and sat on the sofa with a big smile, "If Lord Melbourne [Note 1] finds out, I will definitely teach you a lesson with a straight face!"

As a Whig, Lord Melbourne is a famous diehard. After succeeding to the throne, Victoria was taught by Lord Melbourne as his own daughter for four years. During this period, she taught her basic political methods and methods, so Victoria respects Melbourne very much. Lord.

"The lord has returned to his castle to retire, but he has no time to deal with us!" Queen Victoria skillfully wrapped her arms around Albert's neck, showing a charming expression.

PS: 1. Lord Melbourne: Once a whip of the Whig Party, the Prime Minister of Britain in the 1930s and 1940s, and also the teacher of Queen Victoria.
