War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

The exaggerated number of jewelry dazzled Olga, but she noticed a problem, that is, there did not seem to be diamonds and pearls in the collection of Schonbrunn Palace, but instead there were some strange jewelry.

"Miss Audrey, aren't there more common jewels in the royal collection?"

Olga expressed her doubts, while Audrey pursed her lips. The latter found the word "ordinary" interesting.

"Your Highness Olga, are you talking about diamonds and pearls?"

Olga did not deny it.

"Excuse me."

Audrey, who was a jewelry maid, walked up to Madam Sophie.

"Grand Princess, can I take Her Majesty Olga to see that?"

Madam Sophie smiled and nodded.

"Your Highness Olga, please come with me."

Audrey led the way, followed closely by Olga. She was still somewhat curious as to why it was so mysterious.

Soon the two came to another palace, and Princess Olga was stunned when the door opened.

There is only one pure white wedding dress in the entire palace, which is emitting dazzling light at this time.

"The entire wedding dress is eleven meters long, inlaid with 30,000 pearls and 10,000 diamonds. It was sewn by thirty tailors with platinum thread and silver thread, and the lining is made of velvet and fine oriental materials. silk"

Olga quickly returned to normal, and she realized that she must not lose her composure. After all, she would be the queen of this country in the future, and maybe Mrs. Sophie and Franz were watching her performance.

But Olga was really excited inside, and she felt the wedding dress in front of her carefully with her hands. Olga was finally able to determine why putting on a wedding dress is every girl's dream.

This wedding dress was enough to satisfy all her vanity and fantasies. At this moment, she thought of that tall, handsome figure, that thick chest, that powerful heartbeat, and that intoxicating smell.

Olga's face couldn't help but blush, and the jewelry maid Audrey on the side reminded her.

"Your Highness Olga, this wedding dress weighs 71 kilograms. It requires at least four maids to change it for you, and at least eight companions to walk with it."

Hearing this, Olga couldn't help but have black lines in her head. 71kg? Can I really walk in this wedding dress? The so-called pre-wedding preparation is not for me to practice how to walk in this wedding dress, right?

Olga couldn't help but complained in her heart.

"No matter how hard you practice, it's impossible, right? Unless it's a brown bear, no one will walk in a wedding dress like this!"

In fact, Audrey was also very embarrassed. After all, when Mrs. Sophie designed this wedding dress, she only considered how to shock the European royal family and did not consider the queen's problems.

(Plate armor before the 18th century generally weighed no more than thirty kilograms.)

At this time Audrey continued.

“Because of this wedding dress, using pearls and diamonds for jewelry would be a bit monotonous, so I suggest you use other jewelry as jewelry.

If you are really into diamonds and pearls, we also have some colored pearls and diamonds for you to choose from.”

The reason why there are such extravagant wedding dresses and jewelry is of course not just for the sake of face and shocking other European royal families. On the one hand, it is for publicity and to show financial strength, and on the other hand, it is to digest inventory.

In fact, the Austrian Empire has collected a considerable amount of gems over the years, but due to the rise of Britain and France, it has deviated from the mainstream European aesthetics.

Therefore, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds suddenly became obsolete, while pearls and diamonds were fashionable and trendy.

Franz naturally cannot suffer this dumb loss. He knows very well that so-called fashion and trends are most of the time a scam jointly spun by second-rate businessmen and third-rate politicians.

They did it, and Franz naturally did it too. Isn’t it just to fight for the GG fee?

Franz was very confident that he would kill the British and the French. After all, the Puritans who advocated frugality and wanted to compete with the Catholics who were famous for their extravagance and waste would be asking for death.

Even if the British really want to fight with Austria, they have to consider whether they will be scolded by the Puritans in the country. As for luxury and waste, it is the glorious tradition of the Habsburg family. After all, "the rich will not be extravagant, and the poor will starve to death."

Rather than letting these outdated products accumulate in your hands, it is better to use them to make GG. It is impossible for all the jewelry in Franz's hands to be put into the market, because once too many goods are put into the market, it will cause widespread depreciation, and luxury goods will become cabbage.

In this way, Franz will not only fail to make money, but will also cut off his future financial path. So he was ready to change the trend and become a true trendsetter.

As an empire, Austria also needs its own cultural influence. If Austria's subjects are allowed to follow the ideas of the British and French all day long, there will really be problems.

So whether it's for himself, his family, or his country, Franz must fight to the end.

Of course Olga couldn't have known that Franz was planning to use her wedding as a GG. It was also impossible for Mrs. Sophie to call Olga just to show her the wedding dress, jewelry and other wedding supplies.

Olga needs full queen training, she has to learn how to be a queen. The first is Olga's poor Prussian German, which is impossible for the court and upper class society of the Austrian Empire to accept.

Olga's mother is from Prussia, and she has a natural advantage in learning German. However, in Austria's upper class, the Prussian accent is at the bottom of the contempt chain, second only to the Bavarian accent before Mrs. Sophie's arrival.

Before Madame Sophie married to Vienna, the Bavarian accent was at the bottom of the aristocratic circle's contempt chain, and was also called a country bumpkin accent.

However, Madame Sophie could be called "the only man in the Habsburg family" in history, and her fighting power can be imagined. After her unremitting efforts, she finally made the Bavarian accent rise to the second place in the contempt chain.

But Madame Sophie would not speak with a Bavarian accent in public. She usually spoke in the language of the Vienna court.

Olga should be grateful that Franz killed Hungary in 1848, and the former no longer needed to learn Hungarian.

In fact, there is a small episode in this, that is, according to Austrian tradition, the queen must be proficient in Hungarian.

But Olga obviously didn't like Hungarian very much, but she didn't dare to be too willful, but that kind of resistance made her learning progress very slow.

Franz naturally saw it, so he did a favor and exempted the queen from the obligation to learn Hungarian and Hungarian culture.

Although Franz had planned for a long time with ulterior motives, Olga truly felt the love. An emperor broke the old and outdated rules for her, which made her feel valued, respected and loved.

I guess it must have taken great courage for Franz to break the old and outdated rules.
