King's Landing in France

Chapter 59 Volcano
Christina interpreted An Ning's speechless expression as being shocked by the queen's speech.

She said worriedly: "I have been trying to make the queen understand what kind of state the people are in, but she can't seem to understand."

An Ning: "Of course she can't understand, she was born in the most prominent royal family in Europe, and then married into another prominent royal family in Europe, her cognition has been limited by her birth.

"She is not like you, you have met many civilians at the Royal Palace, you know what the life of a civilian is like.

"You've even been on the battlefield! Your knowledge is far beyond that of that Austrian girl."

Christina: "But the Queen is prettier than me. She's so much older than me, but she looks so young."

An Ning: "The skin of the Habsburgs is really good."

An Ning once attended the Royal Ball and met Queen Mary at the ball.

It can only be said that Louis XVI was still weak in the face of Mary's prosperous appearance, and the locksmith was really not good at it.

Of course, it could also be that the queen's body odor is too strong for the locksmith to lose interest... right?

Christina was worried: "You went to Place Louis XV today, didn't you? How is it? How's the situation?"

An Ning: "Very good."

Paris is like a volcano that has accumulated to its limit. Of course, it is very good for An Ning. What he is worried about is that if the revolution does not happen, if it does not happen, he will be in vain.

Christina looked at An Ning: "What do you mean very good? Which aspect is good?"

An Ning: "Everything is good."

He didn't want Christina to continue asking, so he changed the subject: "You have been promoted to captain, the captain's uniform is so beautiful."

Christina: "Oh, this, this is a newly made dress specially designed by the queen's tailor. The queen told him that he needs to have the heroism of a soldier and the charm of a girl, and then he succeeded in doing it."

Then Christina sighed: "My new military uniform cost a lot of money. Obviously, the palace's expenses are already so tight. Your Royal Highness is wasting money like this..."

An Ning: "She's a deficit queen, how can she expect him not to waste money?"

Christina: "Her Majesty is in a good mood recently. She seems to think that once the three-level parliament opens, taxes will be raised smoothly, and she will have more money to spend. She has no idea what the public opinion in Paris is saying, nor Know what the gentlemen of the Third Estate are planning."

An Ning: "Does she really not know what the public opinion is talking about? Didn't anyone tell her at the prom and salon?"

Christina: "There should be, but the queen is very stubborn. She only listens to what she likes, and ignores the rest."

An Ning was speechless, and it was unlucky for Louis XVI to have such a queen.

In addition to good skin, almost nothing else.

At this time, the Duke of Orleans entered the dining room, and when he saw the state of An Ning and Christina, he joked, "Should I leave first, and come in after you finish whispering?"

It was only then that An Ning realized that after hugging Christina just now, he hadn't let go yet, and kept chatting all the way with his arms around the girl.

He hastily let go.

Because Christina has gone to serve as a soldier, theoretically she can no longer be used for noble marriages—in this time-space aristocratic society, a daughter who goes to serve as a soldier and a daughter who is sent to a monastery are regarded as being removed from the marriage candidate list.

But soldiers can still get married, and generally these women who join the army will eventually become the wives of an officer.

An Ning happened to be an officer.

So the Duke himself probably has some thoughts in that regard.

Christina turned to greet her father, and An Ning hurriedly saluted the Duke as well.

Duke: "I heard from Christina that you were in Place Louis XV this afternoon? How is the situation?"

An Ning: "The execution turned into a third-level swearing-in meeting. Under the leadership of the tortured, everyone shouted long live the third level."

The Duke nodded: "To be honest, I regretted it this time. I should go to the third estate to elect a representative instead of being elected as a nobleman. I heard that Mirabeau has already done so."

An Ning smiled and said, "Although Mirabeau has the title of earl, no one would regard this alcoholic as an earl."

In fact, Mirabeau has gone bankrupt as a nobleman, and the noble allowance given by the Civil Service Bureau alone cannot support his current expenses.

Mirabeau's life in Paris was almost entirely maintained by writing articles for the Duke of Orleans in front of him and serving as a tool of public opinion.

The Duke also said: "The general petition for the second level is almost finished, and we have reached a consensus on the formulation of the constitution, but the motion proposed by the Marquis of Lafayette and me to reform the voting format of the three levels of parliament was rejected by everyone. Yes. The general statement still requires one vote for each of the three levels in the same way as it was 175 years ago."

An Ning already knew this would happen because she opened the future-predicting hook.

But he was still very surprised: "What? In this way, there are two levels that do not support voting by number of people."

The Duke shook his head: "I have observed that the nobles in Paris basically support one person, one vote for the representatives, but there are nearly two hundred minor nobles from the countryside in the second level, and they basically want to maintain the tradition. We can't hold them back. .

"It's ironic that they used one person one vote to overturn the motion in favor of one person one vote for the entire parliament."

An Ning thought it was normal, the small nobles in the countryside were poor and reactionary, and they would be the core force of the royalist party's rebellion in the future.

Now it is only the first manifestation of their reactionary character.

Duke: "I heard that the general petition letter of the first level has also been produced. The priests basically support the formulation of a constitution to limit the royal power. It seems that we and the priests have reached an agreement on the issue of formulating a constitution. The general petition letter of the third level What's the situation now?"

An Ning: "We are still discussing. After all, there are more than 500 representatives of the third level. It is not easy to reach a consensus. Moreover... some representatives have not yet arrived in Paris."

The Duke looked shocked: "Haven't you arrived in Paris yet?"

"Yeah, maybe something is delayed..."

The Duke curled his lips, when the butler came in to report: "Dinner is ready, Your Excellency. It would be bad if you don't eat it cold."

The Duke waved his hand: "Okay, let's eat and talk while eating."

**
A few days later, this afternoon, An Ning was discussing the general statement letter of the representative of the third level with everyone in the Brittany club, when suddenly the door of the club was opened.

A man in an old green overcoat entered the club.

Dandong smiled when he saw the man: "Damn, he's still wearing his green coat."

Maximilian Robespierre finally finished his long-delayed case in his hometown and rushed to Paris.
