I'm the Dauphin in France

Chapter 539 It turns out that I am really His Highness’s Chief Mistress

On the way to the banquet hall, Joseph always felt that the nobles were still bowing to him respectfully, but the smiles on their faces were somewhat meaningful.

He turned to Louis XVI and asked, "Father, is there something on my face?"

"Oh, no, dear, I'm sure."

Louis XVI paused, then winked at his son and whispered, "About the night before yesterday, those two young ladies, um, did they really have a fight at your place?"

Joseph immediately held his forehead with his hand. No wonder they looked at him with strange eyes. So it was because of this?

Versailles is a damn place, no one cares about serious matters, but gossip spreads really fast...

"Ah! Actually, they just..."

Joseph's expression was a little "constipated". How should I say this? Catwoman thought she owed me a lot of money, so she came to pay me back, but she didn't go through the main door but through the window, and ended up beating up the maid who was "disassembling my bones" as an assassin?
Louis XVI immediately showed an "I understand" expression and smiled, "Ah, you don't need to explain. You are so old now, it's time for you to live an adult life."

"No!" Joseph looked at his father's determined expression and said helplessly, "Well, it's up to you..."

On the second floor of the Palace of Versailles, Miss Sorel, the "Catwoman" that the father and son talked about, was looking at Baron Candice nervously:
"Then Miss Delvaux's new dress was designed by you?"

The latter flicked his handkerchief and nodded proudly:
“Yes, it is a work that I am very satisfied with.”

"May I ask you," Sorel lowered his head awkwardly, "how much does it cost to make that costume?"

Baron Candice raised his hand and made a "two" gesture: "Ms. Delvaux paid me 2 francs. If you like, I can also help you design a more suitable one."

Sorel felt dizzy when she heard this. Oh my God! How could that dress be so expensive? If she had known earlier, she should not have rejected the kindness of His Royal Highness the Dauphin and took back the 5 francs.

I had originally planned to take a break, but now it seems that I have no choice but to continue making money. After all, more than 2 francs is not a small amount of money...

Yes, Camelia's skirt was torn when she kicked her out that night.

In the Palace of Versailles, mending a skirt was never an option, as it would be considered a joke by the ladies. So if a skirt was torn, there was only one way to deal with it, which was to throw it in the trash.

She had to compensate Camelia for the dress, the medical expenses for her injuries, plus some apology "gift", and she would probably have to prepare 3 francs.

Sorel felt that the whole world was covered with dark clouds. He said goodbye to Baron Candice listlessly and set out on another journey to raise money...

On the other hand, Queen Mary, who was attending the ball, pulled her "predetermined" daughter-in-law and "comforted" her earnestly:

"Sasha, you know, Joseph is such an outstanding man at his age, so there will always be girls around him. But please believe me, he is not so easily moved, I promise."

The eight-year-old Alexandra blinked her beautiful blue eyes and nodded in confusion - anyway, no matter what Her Majesty the Queen said, nodding was the right thing to do, and she mentioned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very outstanding, well, that was indeed true!
Joseph finished his dinner and chose not to continue "working overtime" because he was really tired recently, including mentally.

When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Perna standing in front of the reception room. He couldn't help but be surprised - the doctor changed into a white... It should be the white coat he gave her, but it was obviously modified. The waist was tightened and the size from the neckline to the chest was widened. Well, she didn't seem to be wearing a bra today, which made the white coat curvy and showed off her beautiful curves.

She also let her long curly hair down, letting it gently fall behind her shoulders. She was not wearing her usual tricorn hat, but a small swallowtail hat he designed for nurses.

In general, it is - the youthful and beautiful girlish style plus the temptation of uniforms... Joseph quickly stopped thinking and greeted Perna with a smile:
"When did you come back? Mrs. Lamarque's birthday party must have been very lively. I'm really too busy, otherwise I should have gone to congratulate her."

Madame Lamarque is Perna's mother.

Perna seemed very nervous, and quickly knelt down to salute, then said:
"If mother knew that you were willing to celebrate her birthday, she would be very happy."

Seeing that she was still standing there in a daze, Joseph asked in confusion:

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Ah, yes, Your Highness." Perna hurriedly picked up an exquisite box from behind her and held it in front of Joseph with both hands. "This is what Madame Lavoisier asked me to give to you."

Joseph took it and opened it, and saw inside was a gold hollow scabbard inlaid with a dozen rubies, which was an ornament used to decorate the scabbard and could be installed at the entrance of the scabbard.

"She gave me such an expensive thing?"

"Ah, Madame Lavoisier said it was custom-made for 23 francs."

Perna, wearing a brand new business suit, was at a loss. She suddenly realized that she was not suitable to be a lobbyist. She looked so clumsy, like a child who had not studied hard and walked into the examination room.

She gritted her teeth and said directly:

"Your Highness, I would like to ask you to pardon Baron Lavoisier. He has made a profound confession and is willing to pay the fine. Please don't let him go to jail. He is actually a good man and he also has a very high reputation in the French Academy of Sciences.

"If it is possible, please look at my..."

Joseph slapped his forehead and remembered that one of the purposes of his return to the Palace of Versailles was to ask his father for a letter of pardon from Lavoisier, but he was so busy with the gun that he actually forgot about it.

If this drags on for a while longer, and the High Court process is completed, Lavoisier might really have to spend a few days in jail.

Since it was Perna who brought up the matter, let's do her a favor. So he immediately smiled and said:

"Well, if you say so, I will ask my father for a pardon. And tell Baron Lavoisier not to worry about it any more."

Perna was stunned. She thought she would have to beg the Crown Prince for at least two or three hours, but unexpectedly, after just a few words, His Highness agreed!

This... She suddenly felt warm in her heart. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually took such good care of her. No, this could be considered as... favoritism!

Her heart was beating fast and she had forgotten what she was going to say. She just kept thinking about how His Highness had pardoned Mr. Lavoisier's 15-year imprisonment without hesitation for her sake.

You know, there were so many tax farmers who were beheaded in the Louvre Square or spent many years in prison. Among so many people, only Mr. Lavoisier was pardoned—it was pardoned by His Highness for his own sake!
It turns out that His Highness has always had me in his heart!

No wonder Mariana said that she was His Highness's "chief..." Her face turned red again instantly, and she didn't dare to pronounce the word in her mind.

It turns out that I was the only one who was stupid enough not to know His Highness's intentions. I am so stupid!
call--

In an instant, she felt that the whole world was lit up!
