King's Landing in France

Chapter 290 Malmaison's owner hit a wall for the first time

Josephine Beauharnay looked at Pauline Bonaparte, who was talking happily with Frost, and it took a lot of effort to control her expression.

She had never been angered like this before. In the past, he was always the jewel in the venue, even the focus of everyone's attention.

She never expected that her limelight would be robbed by a yellow-haired girl.

How could she have suffered such grievances!

She looked at Paulina Bonaparte carefully: she looked like an ordinary girl, and her figure was the same as that of a man, except for the braid.

After much deliberation, Josephine felt that the reason why she lost to Paulina was because she was Napoleon's sister.

Unexpectedly, the rumors were true. It was said that Napoleon was a popular man next to General Frost. It seemed that the best way to get close to General Frost was to get close to Napoleon first.

Thinking of this, Josephine interjected directly: "Sorry, who is this?"

In social situations, it is very impolite to talk to people directly without an intermediary. Of course, this is the era of the Republic, and the Republic advocates new fashions, so there have been more cases of talking directly to people recently.

But Josephine was a veteran of Parisian society, and she still maintained the habits of the previous era.

All eyes turned to her again.

Then no one spoke.

Andy Frost didn't seem to realize that Josephine was talking to him, just looking at her.

**
It was only after An Ning's foot was stepped on that he realized that in social situations, this question must be asked to him. After all, social situations still maintain the old order of honor and inferiority. People with low status can't come forward to speak up if they take the initiative to speak.

He thought Josephine was asking Napoleon before.

An Ning: "Ask me? This is my best friend's sister, Paulina Bonaparte. Paulina, this is Madame Beauharnay."

Josephine: "Hi, Mademoiselle Paulina. You don't look like Monsieur Bonaparte, you are so beautiful..."

An Ning wondered where your eyes are. You can tell that she is Napoleon's sister just by looking at her height.

Paulina: "Hi, Madame Beauharnay, I think my brother is handsome too."

Lasalle didn't care about social etiquette, and looked directly at Napoleon to see his expression, but found that Napoleon was unmoved. However, who is Lasalle, he doesn't need to see Napoleon blushing to get rid of it directly: "Oh, Sedan's The big hero blushes when his sister praises him!"

Napoleon: "I'm not blushing!"

"You're talking nonsense, you're going to be popular!"

An Ning was suddenly touched by a strange switch, and said to Napoleon: "Next time you are told by La Salle that you are blushing, you can answer him, 'This is radiant'."

Napoleon smiled: "Hahaha, good idea, it's radiant to hear that there is no Lasalle!"

An Ning: "Hey, why is your face yellow again?"

Napoleon couldn't fix it straight away: "Yellow? This... why don't you play your cards according to the routine!"

An Ning: "I'll teach you, you just say it's wax for anti-cold coating."

Napoleon: "You... wax your face in winter?"

La Salle: "He is a cobbler who waxes leather shoes all day long. He may have this skill."

Seeing that the trio of "good girlfriends" began to tease each other as if no one else was there, Mrs. Beauarney hurriedly intervened: "What a surprise, I suddenly discovered a different side of Sedan's hero!"

An Ning: "Really? Didn't you discover a different side of me through the conversation just now? I don't have this honor for my dignified Italian hero, do I, Mrs. Josephine Boarne of Malmaison?"

Josephine: "In fact, there have been many rumors about your personality, and you have long expected your humor, but this Mr. Bonaparte was unknown in the Parisian social circle before. Rost's henchman'."

La Salle immediately activated his skills and began to tear down the stage: "You said it wrong, it should be 'the cobbler's attendant', or 'the cobbler's Corsican attendant'."

This is what Frost's enemies call Napoleon. Even Josephine, who has been in the social arena for many years, almost didn't hold back.

Then she said with a sneer: "At that time, Paris hadn't been impressed by the charm of Your Excellency the General. It's understandable."

An Ning: "So why are you here?"

Here he uses you to highlight the sense of distance, but Europeans don’t say that, and you often come and go between friends.

Josephine: "Of course I'm here to congratulate the French heroes who have won great victories on the battlefield."

An Ning: "No, I received a report saying that you just came back from Paul Ballas' residence. Did Mr. Ballas want you to bring me a message?"

An Ning actually didn't know where Josephine had just come back from Barras, he was just inferring.

The whole of Paris knows that the owner of Malmaison Castle and Ballas are in the middle of the process, and Malmaison Castle uncharacteristically did not hold a salon or tea party a few days ago, so it is very likely that the owner of the castle is not there.

But Josephine's face changed slightly.

"You're right, a hero like you can't just admire him..."

An Ning interrupted Josephine, pointing at Paulina: "This one admires me, Mrs. Beauharnay, I can tell. Who is my real supporter in this hall, and who is here to find out the truth? speculators, I picked them all up at a glance."

The main reason is that An Ning has read a lot of works on French history. An Ning even remembers the biographies of the famous figures in this period of history. It is clear at a glance who is the loyal and who is the traitor.

This is the advantage of traversers.

Mrs. Beauharnay may have judged that it was pointless to continue to stubbornly stay in front of An Ning, so she made up a random reason, retreated to her previous position, and became the target of young people's stars again.

An Ning heard Christina sigh: "It's not good for you to be so straightforward. Leave the social affairs to me in the future. For this kind of thing, pay attention to ambiguity and keep it silent."

An Ning thought, I know, who doesn't know how to play Tai Chi and mud.

But now I am His Excellency General Frost, and I can not fuck anyone I want in Paris.

After fighting a few more battles, An Ning might be able to get the rank of marshal. The Republic does not have a marshal, but when that time comes, some people will propose to restore the rank of marshal.

**
Josephine Beauharnay came back unhappily, and returned to the circle where the stars held the moon in the past.

Immediately, a young man came up to talk: "Josephine, what did you do in the past?"

Josephine Beauharne looked up at the people, immediately switched expressions, and smiled: "Saint Just, you are here too! I just went over and wanted to invite General Frost to the Malmaison Castle tomorrow for a tea party Come on, but he doesn't seem to like me very much."

Saint-Just: "How come, you are still radiant today."

Josephine rolled her eyes and sighed: "Hey, I don't know if there is anyone who can talk to General Frost and help me bring the invitation over. I think there must be someone between me and the general." What a misunderstanding."

Saint-Just: "It's easy, I'll just take it with me."

"Do you...have friendship with the general?"

"A little bit, but..." Saint-Just didn't continue.

Josephine knew what was left unsaid: but I knew Robespierre very well.

Josephine seemed to ask casually: "Where is Mr. Robespierre? He should be the general's best friend, why didn't he come to the general's ball?"

Saint-Just: "Robespierre doesn't like this kind of occasion very much. He should still be at home revising tomorrow's proposal draft. Alright, let me invite you, Your Excellency the General!"
