Chapter 264 Her Highness the Princess of Bonaparte's Family
Paris in September is the best time of the year. The bright sunshine shrouds the capital of France. Many young men and women are sitting on the green land and under the shade of trees, and some women are holding small sunshades Take an umbrella and stroll leisurely in the park.

The two women walked in the park with sweet smiles. They chatted while walking, and when they occasionally met passers-by, the passers-by would stand on the side of the road and take off their hats to them.

"your Highness!"

They are all princesses!

The Spanish princess, however, is the one who has lost the throne. As the granddaughter of the Spanish King Joseph Napoleon, Julie Charlotte Bonaparte has long since lost the glory of yesterday. In fact, even her grandfather is only He was the king of Spain for a few years.

"Princess……"

Charlotte, who was only fifteen years old by her mother's side, said a little depressed.

"What kind of princess is a princess without a kingdom?"

"Charlotte, that's the title! Your grandmother inherited it from her father, and I inherited it from her!"

"A title is just a title."

Charlotte blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at the young people in the park, and said softly.

"It's just a useless title. At most, it's nothing more than marrying an old rich man with the title of princess in exchange for a lifetime of food and clothing."

For her daughter's complaints, Julie is also very helpless.This is the fact, even if the current emperor of the French Empire is Louis Napoleon, it cannot change all this.

The Bonaparte family has long since fallen.

As for the Joseph Bonaparte family, there are only titles left, nothing more.

People came and went in and out of the park from time to time, and soon the mother and daughter walked out of the park. At the intersection of the park, a newsboy was shaking the newspaper in his hand from time to time, shouting loudly.

"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, merchants from Argentina, Peru and other countries are resisting the American company's products!"

"Looking at the newspaper, the United Kingdom announced that it would freeze the warship contract of the American Company..."

Charlotte was stunned for a moment by the newsboy's shout, and then she waved at the newsboy.

"My dear lady, would you like a newspaper?"

"Bring me a newspaper."

Even as a woman, Charlotte is also very concerned about politics. On the way home, Julie asked curiously when she saw her daughter reading the newspaper intently.

"What's the news? Make you so fascinated by it?"

"Mum, it's news about America."

Looking up, Charlotte's eyes were full of longing.

"You know what? America is a nice place, and Ni was born there, before we were allowed to go back to France!"

Jolie is no stranger to the United States. She had lived in exile with her father in New Jersey for many years, and Charlotte was also born in Philadelphia, the United States.

"Mom, I'm talking about America, South America..."

Charlotte closed the newspaper and smiled.

"Maybe, I mean maybe, I think, I have better options!"

what?
Looking at her daughter in confusion, Julie's eyes were full of doubts, what was she talking about?
Fifteen years old is the age at which girls like to fantasize the most. Maybe Charlotte likes fantasizing, but she prefers to take risks. In the next few days, she kept searching for newspapers, materials, and even deliberately found Check out the map to find the location of Nan Hua.

The only thing that makes her a little dissatisfied is that there is no direct passenger ship to Nanhua, neither France nor the United Kingdom.

But soon, she found a solution to the problem!
……

Marseille Port, since 1832, Marseille's port throughput has been second only to London and Liverpool, England. As the third largest port in the world, Marseille Port is berthed with merchant ships from various countries.This morning, a carriage drove to the trestle bridge, after the carriage stopped.Charlotte jumped out of the carriage, with only one maid at her side.

"Your Highness, you, you shouldn't have run away from home!"

"Not running away from home."

Charlotte said solemnly.

"I am for my future, and for the future of my family,"

When speaking, she pointed to the merchant ship in the distance and said.

"Judy, look at the flag on that ship is the "Phoenix Flag"."

The phoenix is ​​the phoenix, the Suzaku.It is the flag of Nanhua, and the ship moored at the berth is the ship of the American company's inspection team - "New Hope". It has been three years since it left Nanhua on May 1863, 5!

For three years and four months, Zuo Zongtang has been leading a delegation to investigate European and American countries, including the United States, Spain, Britain, France, German countries and Russia, and they even went to Turkey.For three years, for this world.Zuo Zongtang has a new understanding, and because of this, the schedule has been delayed from the first two years to three years, and now it is delayed in France, not because of Zuo Zongtang's relationship, but because the company has been delayed. The 80-ton steam hammer ordered by Schneider-Le Queso is about to be completed, so the company temporarily decided to bring the world's largest steam hammer back to Nanhua by the "New Hope".

And Zuo Zongtang did not let go of this opportunity, and he conducted another inspection of France, such as the inspection of French rural governance.

Today, when he returned to the port with a few entourages in a carriage and was about to board the ship, he never expected to meet a woman who wanted to board the ship but was rejected by the crew.

It was none other than Charlotte who was rejected. She got the information from the newspaper that the ship of the American company inspection team was in Marseilles, so she came here.

"Hello miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zuo Zongtang walked over and asked.

"Sir, you must be the Mr. Zuo they mentioned."

Charlotte can guess from the respectful attitude of the crew that the identity of the other party must be extraordinary without any introduction from others.

"My humble servant is Zuo Zongtang, may I ask Miss..."

Before Zuo Zongtang finished speaking, Charlotte nodded and said.

"That's good,"

Charlotte said.

"I am Charlotte Clarke Bonaparte and my mother is Julie Charlotte Bonaparte, Princess of Canino and Musignano of Spain. I hope to take your ship to Nanhua! "

When he said his identity, his expression was a little arrogant. Although he only had a title, sometimes just this title was enough.

what!
Fortunately, Zuo Zongtang has been in Europe for three years and four months, and he is no stranger to European countries-Bonaparte!

Who would be unfamiliar with Napoleon Bonaparte?
The current French emperor is his nephew, also from the Bonaparte family.The girl in front of me was also named Bonaparte.

In the case of the Qing Dynasty, the girl in front of her is a relative of the emperor, she is Ge Ge.

Princesses of Spain Cannino and Musignano?

Zuo Zongtang, who had visited Spain before, knew a little bit about the history of Spain. This princess... is the kind of exile.

The Spanish king Joseph Bonaparte didn't reign for a few years at all, and then was overthrown by the Spaniards, but...according to European tradition, he is still the heir to the Spanish throne.

In an instant, after figuring out the identity of the other party, Zuo Zongtang made a decision, just like all European gentlemen, he took off his hat, bowed his head slightly and saluted.

"Welcome, Your Royal Highness!"
