I Am the Crown Prince in France

Chapter 539 It turns out that I am really His Highness's chief mistress

On the way to the banquet hall, Joseph always felt that the nobles were still respectful to him, but the smile on their faces was meaningful.

He turned to Louis XVI and asked: "Father, is there something on my face?"

"Oh, no, dear, I'm sure."

Louis XVI paused, suddenly blinked at his son, and whispered: "About the night before yesterday, the two young ladies, um, really had a fight at your place?"

Joseph immediately held his forehead. No wonder they looked at him with a wrong look. It turned out to be about this?

The Palace of Versailles is a ghost place. No one cares about serious things. This gossip spreads really fast...

"Ahem! In fact, they are just..."

Joseph's expression is a little "constipated". How should this thing be said? It says that Catwoman thinks she owes me a lot of money, so she came to pay it back. She didn't go through the main door but went through the window, and ended up beating up the maid who was "disassembling my bones" as an assassin?

Louis XVI immediately showed an "I understand" expression and smiled: "Ah, you don't need to explain, you are so old, it's time to have an adult life."

"No!" Joseph looked at his father's determined expression and said helplessly, "Well, it's up to you..."

On the second floor of the Palace of Versailles, Miss Sorel, the "Catwoman" that the father and son talked about, was looking at Baron Candice nervously:

"So, Miss Delvaux's new dress was designed by you?"

The latter flicked his handkerchief and nodded proudly:

"Yes, it is a work that I am very satisfied with."

"May I ask you," Sorel lowered his head awkwardly, "how much does it cost to make that dress?"

Baron Candice raised his hand and made a "two": "Miss Delvaux paid me 2,300 francs. If you like, I can also help you design a more suitable one for you."

Sorrel felt dizzy when he heard this. Oh my God! How could that dress be so expensive? ! If I had known, I should not have rejected the kindness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and took back the 5,000 francs.

Originally, I was planning to take a break, but now it seems that I have to continue to make money. After all, more than 2,000 francs is not a small amount...

Yes, when she kicked Camelia out that night, the latter's skirt was torn.

In the Palace of Versailles, there is no option to mend a skirt, which will be regarded as a joke by the ladies. So there is only one way to deal with a torn skirt, which is to throw it into the trash can.

She must compensate Camelia for the skirt, as well as the medical expenses for the treatment of the injury, plus some "thoughts" of apology, I am afraid that she will have to prepare 3,000 francs.

Sorel felt that the whole world was overcast. He said goodbye to Baron Candice listlessly and set out on a fundraising journey again...

On the other side, Queen Mary, who was attending the ball, pulled her "predetermined" daughter-in-law and "comforted" her earnestly:

"Sasha, you know, a man of Joseph's age is so outstanding, so there will always be girls around him. But please believe me, he is not so easily moved, I promise."

Eight-year-old Alexandra blinked her beautiful blue eyes and nodded in confusion - anyway, no matter what Her Majesty the Queen said, nodding was correct, and she mentioned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very outstanding, well, that was indeed true!

After dinner, Joseph did not choose to continue "working overtime". He was really tired recently. Including mental fatigue.

When he returned to the palace, he saw Perna standing in front of the reception room. He was a little surprised - the doctor changed into a white coat... It should be the white coat he gave her, but it was obviously modified, with a waist and a wider neckline to the chest. Well, she didn't seem to have a chest binder today, which made the white coat bumpy and curvy.

And she let her slightly curly long hair go, gently scattered behind her shoulders. On her head was not the usual tricorn hat, but the small swallowtail hat he designed for nurses.

In general, it was - a youthful and beautiful girl style plus the temptation of uniforms...

Joseph stopped thinking and greeted Perna with a smile:

"When did you come back? Mrs. Lamarque's birthday party must be very lively, right? I'm really too busy, otherwise I should go to congratulate her."

Mrs. Lamarque is Perna's mother.

Perna seemed very nervous, and knelt down to salute, and then said:

"If my mother knew that you were willing to celebrate her birthday, she would be very happy."

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Joseph asked in confusion:

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Oh, yes, Your Highness." Perna hurriedly picked up an exquisite box from behind her and held it in front of Joseph with both hands, "This is what Mrs. Lavoisier asked me to pass on to you."

Joseph took it and opened it, and saw a pair of gold hollow swallows inlaid with more than a dozen rubies, which is an ornament used to decorate the scabbard and can be installed at the entrance of the scabbard.

"She gave me such an expensive thing?"

"Oh, Mrs. Lavoisier said it was custom-made for 230,000 francs."

Perna, wearing a brand new business suit, was a little at a loss. She suddenly realized that she seemed to be not suitable for being a lobbyist. This clumsy look was like a child who had not reviewed seriously and walked into the examination room.

She gritted her teeth and said directly:

"Your Highness, I would like to ask you to pardon Baron Lavoisier. He has made a deep confession and is willing to pay the fine. Please don't let him go to jail. He is actually a good man and has a very high reputation in the French Academy of Sciences.

"If possible, please give me..."

Joseph slapped his forehead and remembered that one of the purposes of his return to Versailles this time was to ask his father for a pardon from Lavoisier. As a result, he was busy with the gun and forgot about it.

If this is delayed for a while, when the High Court process is completed, Lavoisier may really have to stay in jail for a few days.

Since Perna brought up this matter, let's do her a favor. So he immediately smiled and said:

"Okay, since you said so, I will ask my father for a pardon. Please tell Baron Lavoisier not to worry about it anymore. "

Perna was startled. She thought she would have to ask the Crown Prince for at least two or three hours, but he agreed to her request after only a few words!

This... She suddenly felt warm in her heart. His Royal Highness actually took such good care of her. No, this could be considered... partiality!

Her chest was beating like a deer. She had long forgotten what she was going to say. She just kept thinking about how His Royal Highness pardoned Mr. Lavoisier's 15-year imprisonment for her without hesitation.

You know, there are so many tax farmers who were beheaded in the Louvre Square or had to stay in prison for many years. Among so many people, only Mr. Lavoisier was pardoned - His Royal Highness pardoned him for her face!

It turns out that His Royal Highness has always had me in his heart!

No wonder Marianne said that she was His Royal Highness's "chief...", her face turned red again in an instant, and she didn't dare to say that word in her heart.

It turned out that she was the only one who didn't know His Royal Highness's intentions. She was so stupid!

Huh--

In an instant, she felt that the whole world was lit up!
