Chapter 16 New Fashion for Girls

It's easy to talk to smart people. Joseph smiled and nodded: "Guizot probably paid for the murders and protected the criminals. I will explain it clearly to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Your Highness is truly a spokesperson for justice." Mono immediately touched his chest and saluted, "Please believe that I will always be loyal to the King and the Queen, and I will always be loyal to you!"

"Thank you for your loyalty, oh, and your scimitar, I like it very much."

A huge stone fell to the ground in Mono's heart. After chatting for a while, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Joseph suddenly remembered that the Minister of the Interior was responsible for managing the national municipal administration and supervising the police, so it was Monod who decided on the candidate for the Paris Police Director.

In the future, my energy will mainly be focused on finances, so the police reform must have a reliable person to help implement it.

In addition, you can also use the shell of the police department to cover up the intelligence agency you are planning.

So he raised his hand to stop Monod and asked: "By the way, I want to ask you, who will take over as the Paris Police Commissioner?"

Mono immediately thought of the Crown Prince's police reform, and said without hesitation: "Of course we need to listen to His Highness's opinion on this."

Joseph nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I will try my best to give you advice. Also, I firmly believe that what Guizot did has nothing to do with you. Please walk slowly."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness." Mono bowed deeply, stepped back three steps, and turned to leave.

He walked more than ten meters away and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he no longer dared to think that the Crown Prince was a boy who was easy to fool. Just now in the carriage, the Crown Prince always took the initiative in speaking, appearing calm and at ease, which actually made him feel confident. The feeling when facing Louis XV.

He ordered the coachman to return to the Palace of Versailles and whispered to himself: "He is indeed a son of God. It seems that he will have to keep some distance from the Duke of Orleans in the future."

Joseph also started on the road again, and after walking for another hour or so, the melodious trombone sound suddenly came from ahead, accompanied by the rhythmic drum beat.

Eman reminded quietly: "Your Highness, we are here."

The carriage quickly stopped, and two unfamiliar nobles stepped forward. One opened the door and bowed to wait for the crown prince to get off, while the other set up a wooden ladder in front of the door.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, welcome back."

Joseph got out of the car, nodded to the two of them, and looked into the distance. He saw hundreds of uniformed honor guards lined up on both sides, raising their swords to the sky.

In the marble courtyard in front of the main entrance of the Palace of Versailles, hundreds of nobles gathered, clustered on the stairs, looking eagerly in his direction.

When everyone saw the crown prince appearing, they immediately cheered and suppressed the sound of the band.

Joseph was a little surprised: "What are you doing?"

The two nobles hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the King and Queen are personally welcoming you."

Joseph held his forehead, this battle looked like he was returning victoriously from a battle with the enemy...

It's no wonder that since Louis XVI ascended the throne and immersed himself in playing with locks, he has never done anything public. The queen was a member of the female class and had average abilities. She could barely cope with government affairs. In addition, there were rumors that she was extravagant, which led to the deterioration of the royal family's reputation.

This time the Crown Prince made a splash, throwing the Paris Police Chief into jail, and wiping out almost all the criminals in the Saint-Antoine district in one fell swoop. Now he is the focus of discussion throughout Paris.

With his son so impressive, how could Louis XVI and the Queen not publicize it in a big way?

So there was this welcoming ceremony of unprecedented scale. In fact, there are still many nobles who are not qualified to stand in the marble courtyard, waiting eagerly in the Palace of Versailles.

Joseph walked between the honor guards and looked up to see a graceful and beautiful woman standing at the top of the steps, wearing a purple silk dress with a wide hem, a white mink shawl, and two long feathers in her high bun. woman.

It is Queen Mary.

Next to her, with half of his body huddled behind her, wearing a long blue velvet coat embroidered with fine silver threads, a blue tricorn hat, and black calfskin high-heeled shoes, there was a fat white man with a somewhat nervous expression. The current King of France, a famous locksmith and a patient with social anxiety - Louis XVI.

Joseph quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the two of them.

Following his steps, the nobles on the left and right bowed their heads to salute him. In front of the main entrance of the Palace of Versailles, there seemed to be a huge colorful wave slowly rushing up the stairs.

Just when Queen Mary showed a kind smile and was about to open her arms to welcome her son, a noble lady wearing a low-shoulder skirt to Joseph's right seemed to be frozen, her pale body tilted, and she fell forward.

Joseph reflexively raised his hand to support her and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

The girl closed her eyes and shrank her cold body into his arms.

The surrounding aristocratic ladies suddenly burst into flames in their eyes and secretly gritted their teeth: Alisa is a bitch! He actually used such despicable tactics to get close to the crown prince!

The former crown prince was mediocre, even a little useless. Although he had a distinguished status, his reputation among noble ladies was quite low.

Nowadays, the crown prince's deeds such as "his knowledge shocked Lagrange", "sweeping out criminals in Saint-Antoine district in two days", and "solving a murder case in three minutes" have become more and more legendary among the girls in the Palace of Versailles.

Chatting about the crown prince and collecting information about the crown prince has become a fashion among young girls in the Palace of Versailles. Almost out of every three sentences they said, two and a half sentences were about the Crown Prince.

The "son of God" has suddenly become the dream lover of all girls. Even if she knows that her status is too different to marry him, she is satisfied as long as she can be his lover.

The tall girl on the left thought to herself: Humph! I can do it too!

She immediately threw the fan beside her feet and whispered: "The skirt is so tight that I can't breathe." She tilted her head and fell towards the crown prince.

Joseph quickly supported her with his left hand. The surrounding air was suddenly filled with the smell of vinegar and sourness. For a while, "It's so cold" and "Suddenly I feel dizzy" came and went. More than a dozen warm-scented and warm jade objects poured towards him. Come.

When Joseph was at a loss, the guard captain Kesode stepped forward, picked up the two girls in his arms one by one, and then shouted to the guards behind him: "Hurry up, help the ladies!"

 "yes!"

The "coma" aristocratic ladies squinted their eyes to see the tall and thick guards rushing toward them. They immediately got rid of the gravity of the earth and miraculously stood up straight, looking dignified and dignified.
