Chapter 614: The State Funeral of Emperor Napoleon (Second update, please subscribe)
The sunlight that shone through the window into the room shone on Empress Eugenie.
No, now she has been promoted to the Empress Dowager.
This feels more...exciting than before!
In the past, you were someone else’s daughter-in-law, but what about now?
widow!
Widow!
And it's the kind that comes with a title. Just thinking about it is particularly exciting.
In fact, everyone has a little bit of bad taste. Even Emperor Zhu is no exception.
After all, he's a man.
Everyone has some little ideas, more or less.
His eyes fell on Eugenie's beautiful face, and Emperor Zhu couldn't help but take a closer look. The soft light outlined a delicate figure around her.
His gaze was still so scorching and direct, which made Eugenie feel secretly happy. He was still the same.
Still as obsessed with her as ever…her body.
This discovery made Eugenie's heart tremble a little. Even his thighs couldn't help but press together. He felt his throat become a little dry.
My whole body was hot, burning hot as if I had a fever, and the way I looked at him also changed.
The moment she saw him, Eugenie, who had just been promoted to Queen Mother, felt a lot more at ease.
Then the sound of footsteps slowly began to sound. He was approaching. When his shadow pressed closer and his tall body blocked the sunlight, Eugenie's heart jumped into her throat.
The sunlight shone on Queen Mother Eugenie, illuminating her flawless yet slightly nervous face clearly.
"Dear, did you miss me?"
A simple sentence of pride made Queen Dowager Eugenie frown and look resentful. She looked up at him, as if she wanted to scold her that now was not the right time, but her beauty was also tempting.
Before Eugenie could answer, Zhu Xianhai stretched out a hand and grasped the slender waist of the Queen Mother.
The sudden hug made Eugenie tremble violently.
"Ah... I, no, can't..."
Although she was filled with desire, she still wanted to resist. After all, now that Louis was dead, she couldn't... at least not at this time. Continue with him at Louis' funeral.
But God knew that her heart was also full of desire, she was just a little hesitant.
Looking at her face as fair and delicate as white porcelain, Emperor Zhu placed his right index finger under her chin and, before the newly appointed empress dowager could react, he kissed her as he did in the past.
At the same time, his hands, like a coiled dragon, explored the exaggerated lines beneath the black mourning clothes.
The unforgettable and sometimes recalled touch once again made Emperor Zhu distracted.
The whispers in her ears and the identity of a widow symbolized by the black dress. Just this identity and this special time are enough to drive anyone crazy.
All this filled Emperor Zhu's heart with an unprecedented enthusiasm. Three years of depression and longing also made Eugenie sink into it recklessly. It seemed that for them, at this moment, everything didn't matter.
Finally, when everything was over, Eugenie, still gasping for breath, looked at the man she had missed for so long, with only one thought left in her mind.
I really want to lie in his arms, on top of him...
However, her identity prevented her from doing so. Thinking of this, tears flowed from her eyes and silently scraped across her cheeks.
Reaching out to wipe the tears from her cheeks, Zhu Xianhai said.
"Don't worry, honey. I'm here for you."
Reaching out and touching her smooth and delicate shoulders, Emperor Zhu comforted her softly while helping her tidy up her dress. It was a quick and hasty act, and she said softly, feeling a little unsatisfied.
"After the funeral, I will go to Fontainebleau Palace to recuperate for a while. There..."
Looking at him seductively, Eugenie bit her lip and said.
“It’s very close to where you live!”
This woman says no, but is her actions honest?
It turned out that she had already arranged it. Emperor Zhu chuckled complacently, wiped his thumb across her red lips, and nodded.
"I will comfort you properly after everything is over."
When leaving the palace, Emperor Zhu had a faint smile on his lips.
…
On January 24, in Paris, the hearse carrying the coffin of Napoleon III, the emperor of the Second French Empire, passed by the Louvre. Many people stood on the roadside, many of whom came to Paris from other provinces. In fact, even the Parisians had complicated feelings towards this emperor. Under his orders, Paris became a modern metropolis, and everything made the Parisians proud. It was also under his orders that France passed the Poor Law to provide relief to the poor and the unemployed.
Of course, Parisians will not be grateful for such a small favor. Parisians have a fighting spirit and fighting tradition.
But now that Napoleon III is dead, then... of course we have to see him off, so many Parisians came.
Of course, the group of people behind the coffin are what truly reflect the emperor’s identity and status.
They were a group of emperors and kings, and Emperor Zhu was among them. As the emperor of the Ming Empire, under the arrangement of France, he followed in the front row in a special carriage just like the Queen of the British Empire, the Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Emperor of the Russian Empire. This was a symbol of international status.
This location arrangement shows that the Ming Empire has already become one of the great powers.
Anyone who saw this scene would have such thoughts. When Liu Xihong, the special envoy of the Qing Dynasty and the envoys of other small non-European and American countries were squeezed in a multi-person carriage and followed behind, he felt so sad when he saw the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty riding on equal footing with the Queen of the British Empire and other countries in front of him.
But while the food tasted sour, he suddenly felt happy in his heart.
"The so-called Ming Dynasty is nothing but a fake Ming Dynasty. It has fallen into depravity and coexists with European barbarians. How dare it be called orthodox? The orthodox Chinese dynasty is in our Qing Dynasty!"
With this thought in mind, Liu Xihong felt balanced instantly. He even felt that the public carriage was so comfortable. When he looked at the Vietnamese and Japanese envoys beside him, he was no longer so disgusted. Well, these French people knew how to do things. At least, in this carriage, as the envoy of the Qing Dynasty, he still had some dignity as a superior country.
However, the Japanese envoy was very annoying. He always talked about "Ming Dynasty is this and that", "Ming Dynasty is a great power in the world", "Ming Dynasty is on par with the great powers"...
Just blow it!
The Celestial Empire, that’s our Qing Dynasty.
Our Qing Dynasty is China.
It is the real Celestial Empire.
As for this so-called "Great Ming", it was just a country established in a foreign land.
They are not in China.
As for his strength...it's just that he can make foreign guns and cannons. In terms of morality and literature, our Qing Dynasty is the best in the world!
However, Emperor Zhu, who was sitting in a carriage and riding on par with the great powers, did not have so many thoughts. He just occasionally cast his gaze at Queen Victoria not far away. Her crown was the crown of the Emperor of India. Well, the Emperor of India was one of her many titles.
What a pity, this girl is just too old.
If only I could be 20 years younger. I have tasted the Queen and the Queen Mother, but what does the Queen taste like?
Well, it seems there is no chance.
What a pity.
“Eight out of ten things in life are not what you want them to be.”
While lamenting this pity in his heart, Emperor Zhu was thinking more about Victoria, not the Queen, nor the secret.
It's the Victorian era.
The Victorian era, in the 21st century, would make countless British people proud and proud. This was Britain's most powerful moment.
The British Empire and the British Empire are all about the British Empire in the Victorian era...
The British Empire under her rule was a stumbling block on the road to the rise of the Ming Dynasty!
Now, as long as we can get Russia and France onto the Ming Dynasty's chariot, we can happily hunt the British and eat their meat.
Russia, France...
Turning his gaze to the two emperors, Emperor Zhu once again pondered in his mind the possibility of reaching a consensus with the two countries.
But will such a division lead to one company dominating the market?
A strong Russia is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty, nor in the interests of France!
Finally, Emperor Zhu set his sights on Franz Joseph I, Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Habsburg family and Türkiye were also a family feud!
What if we pull them in as well?
When this thought came to his mind, while he was considering this possibility, Emperor Zhu's eyes naturally fell on Empress Sissi, who was wearing a black dress in the same car. Looking at her tall back, and thinking of her rare appearance and crazy energy, he couldn't help but have a fantasy in his mind - to give the two queens together...
Halfway through his thought, he hurriedly cursed himself for his mentality. It must be his eagerness to avenge the underdeveloped countries that caused such a ridiculous idea to pop up in his mind. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would never have such evil thoughts for no reason.
At this time, Queen Sissi seemed to feel his gaze. She turned her head slightly, and her beautiful eyes fell on Zhu Xianhai. Although it was only for a moment, her gaze was extremely bold!
Just a glance, in such a public occasion, such a seductive look was absolutely shocking.
It was simply thrilling, this was a public place, and you were the queen of a country.
She actually looked at another man like this right next to her husband.
This is simply...
She... is so awesome!
When this thought came to his mind, Emperor Zhu also responded with a very direct look.
Their eyes collided silently in the air...
