"Ambitious?"

Albert's face rose slightly, and his strong curiosity made him shift the target from Louis Napoleon to Jerome Bonaparte, and subconsciously spit out a German word from his mouth.

The Bonaparte family really has the blood of a Corsican rebel in its bones!

Prince Albert sighed silently in his heart.

More than 30 years have passed since Napoleon Bonaparte lost the throne. The Bonaparte family has never stopped chasing the throne for a moment, and Bonaparte's henchmen have never given up for a day.

From Count Lech Stade (King of Rome), Napoleon Louis (Louis Napoleon's brother), Louis Napoleon, and now Jerome Bonaparte, the second generation of the Bonaparte family has been chosen. After losing 3, they still did not give up on the throne of France.

Albert didn't know whether to call them perseverance or give up.

"That's right! His Royal Highness!" Doctor James informed Prince Albert of his conversation with Jerome one by one.

Prince Albert's brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes relieved, and he got up and paced back and forth in the small room.

Seeing this, Dr. James also did not dare to continue sitting on the sofa. He hurriedly followed Prince Albert and stood on the sofa. Every now and then, aim at Albert.

"Your Highness, the black tea is here!" Rough Scottish accented English came from outside the door, pulling Albert back from thinking to reality.

Albert came back to his senses and looked at Dr. James with an embarrassed expression, with an apologetic expression on his face again: "Doctor James, I'm very sorry! Because of me..."

"His Royal Highness, it's nothing!" Dr. James hurriedly waved his hand in response, and then saluted, "It's my honor to be able to serve the royal family!"

"Then please sit down!"

After being greeted by Albert, Dr. James sat down again, and several attendants carefully placed a small round table carved from pine wood in front of Dr. James and Albert.

Immediately afterwards, a saucer of snacks, a small pot of black tea and two small black tea cups were placed on the round table.

John Brown carefully picked up the black tea pot and poured it into one of the cups, then took a step back and returned to the position of the attendant.

Prince Albert carefully picked up the teacup and slowly blew two sips of hot air, then took a sip of black tea, showing an intoxicated expression.

Although it is said that the taste of Indian black tea is not as good as the tea of ​​its neighboring countries, it is better than the large quantity, which can ensure that every British citizen can drink authentic black tea.

Black tea paired with milk and sugar cubes is a must for the British people to satisfy their hunger.

After a serious tasting, Prince Albert remembered Dr. James. He was about to get a teapot to help Dr. James pour tea.

Unexpectedly, Dr. James took the lead and "snatched it", Prince Albert's cup was filled with black tea again, and he poured himself black tea by the way.

A silent afternoon tea lasted only half an hour and ended. Prince Albert thought a lot, and Dr. James suffered for half an hour.

"His Royal Highness, it's time for me to go!" Dr. James humbly expressed his willingness to leave to Prince Albert.

Albert, who got the answer he wanted from Dr. James, was not willing to let the doctor continue to "suffer". He politely expressed to Dr. James that he hoped to meet again next time, and instructed John Brown to take this The guests sent each other away.

After Dr. James left with John Brown, Prince Albert also left the partial room. This time he came to a room in the backyard of Buckingham Palace.

Along with Prince Albert's knock on the door, an elegant German "Please come in" came from the door. Prince Albert showed the uncle laugh of a mature man who made thousands of girls fascinated.

A woman who is slightly bloated due to pregnancy is sitting on a long sofa with her hands crossed and her mouth humming a lullaby from German children, while she is holding a sleeping "elf" in her arms. ".

"Victoria, you know..." Albert didn't seem to notice the existence of the "elf", his voice seemed to be higher than usual.

"Shh!" Victoria made a silent motion and pointed to the baby in her arms.

Only then did Albert realize the existence of the child, and he hurriedly swallowed the words he was about to say.

But it was all too late. The "elf" in Victoria's arms, who had just turned one month old, was awakened by her father's push on the door and the sound of "noisy".

"Wow!"

"Little Elf" cried aloud, Victoria looked at Albert complainingly, and then she could only laugh twice.

Victoria shook her arms gently while continuing to hum a song from Germany.

The little baby stopped making noise under the mother's gentle care and singing, UU reading www. uukanshu.com quietly stared at the mother in front of him.

Several maids outside the door thought the child was hungry again after hearing the cry inside the door, so they hurriedly found the nurse who was stranded at Buckingham Palace.

The nurse followed the maid into the room, looked at Victoria and the princess in her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'll do it!"

Victoria once again gave Albert a reproachful look, handing the princess over to the nurse and instructing them to take good care of the princess.

The nurse carefully held the little princess in Victoria's arms in her arms and gave Victoria a slight salute before leaving the room.

Only Victoria and Albert were left in the room.

"It's all your fault! Wake up Louise!" Queen Victoria pouted and complained to Albert like a little girl.

I am afraid that no one can imagine that a woman who controls more than half of the world will show the same expression as a little girl.

Looking at Victoria's childish expression, Prince Albert strode around Victoria and sat on the sofa, teasing: "If Lord Melbourne [Note 1] knows, I will definitely teach you a straight face again!"

Lord Melbourne, who is a Whig party member, is notoriously stubborn. After her succession, Victoria was taught by Lord Melbourne as her own daughter for four years, during which she taught her basic political means and methods, so Victoria respects Melbourne very much. lord.

"The Lord has returned to his castle to retire, but he has nothing to do with us!" Queen Victoria skillfully embraced Albert's neck with a charming expression.

PS: 1. Lord of Melbourne: Once a whip of the Whig Party, Prime Minister of Britain in the 1930s and 1940s, and also a teacher of Queen Victoria.
