With the appearance of Pius IX, Jerome Bonaparte in a black formal suit and Queen Augusta in a white dress also followed on the red carpet.

Everyone sitting in the seats hurriedly stood up and saluted Gérôme Bonaparte and Augusta until Gérôme Bonaparte and Augusta walked onto the stage.

"Your Majesty, Empress!" Pius IX bowed slightly to Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta to show respect.

"Holy Father!" Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta also bowed slightly to return the salute.

After a brief greeting, Pope Pius IX opened his hands and said to Queen Augusta: "Your Majesty, please give me my godson, Frederick, and I will baptize him in person!"

Queen Augusta slowly stretched out her hand and handed the crown prince Frederick Bonaparte in her arms to Pius IX.

After Pius IX took over Frederick, he responded to Jerome Bonaparte and Empress Augusta: "Your Majesty, Empress, could you please stand there and wait for a moment!"

Seeing Frederick Bonaparte being held in the arms of Pius IX, Queen Augusta showed a sad expression on her face.

Although Queen Augusta's original intention was also for Frederick's future, she still felt very uncomfortable when she thought of the "torture" that Frederick would suffer in the future.

"Augusta, leave Friedrich to the Holy Father!" Jerome Bonaparte grabbed Augusta's hand and brought her to the edge of the main altar.

Standing in the center of the main altar, Pope Pius IX immediately ordered the singing troupe of Notre Dame de Paris to sing the Mass again. At the same time, he slowly beckoned to the bishops behind him. A bishop appeared in the shelter. Next to the ninth generation.

Pius IX, who was holding Friedrich Bonaparte, officially began to act. He handed the clothes wrapped around Friedrich Bonaparte to the bishop one by one. After a while, a naked Crown Prince Frederick appeared.

Since it was only February, the temperature in Paris was still a little cold. After the naked Friedrich Bonaparte felt the chills, he kept screaming "yah," as if he was complaining. Pius IX.

This made Augusta, who was standing on the stage, unable to resist the urge to rush over. If Jerome Bonaparte hadn't held the Queen Augusta firmly, the current Queen Augusta would have been long ago. He had already run to Pius IX and demanded the end.

"Augusta, calm down!" Jerome Bonaparte whispered to Queen Augusta.

"But...but..." Mother's love made Queen Augusta feel like a knife, and at this time she began to regret why she insisted on having Pius IX baptized for Frederick.

"Nothing!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said softly to Queen Augusta with a firm gaze.

Queen Augusta had to obey Jerome Bonaparte's orders, but her eyes were still fixed on Frederick Bonaparte, for fear that he might make any mistakes.

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, a priest slowly brought a basin of water with a slight tinge of steam, and Queen Augusta and Jerome Bonaparte breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

In Jerome Bonaparte's heart, he couldn't help but feel that the Holy See is indeed a political system that can last for thousands of years, and they can always adapt to changes at any time.

Just like the "holy water" being brought up by priests now, Pius IX did not dare to pour cold water on Frederick directly, and he was also afraid of the root cause of Frederick's illness in such a cold day.

If something really happened to the crown prince, let alone the emperor and his wife, even the important officials of the Second Empire would not let Pius IX and the Papal State go.

After all, the rights of the important ministers of the Second Empire depended on the Bonaparte family. If they wanted to keep their glory and wealth from being liquidated, they could only maintain the time of the Second Empire in France as much as possible.

Frederick Bonaparte was one of their hopes.

Afterwards, Pius IX began to recite the prayer to Frederick Bonaparte, and after the prayer was over, he blessed him with a devout look on his face.

After some tossing, Frederick Bonaparte didn't want to shout like before. He looked at the old man who was holding him in his arms with curious eyes, and from time to time he let out a "giggling" laughter.

Pius IX also showed a gratified smile on his wrinkled face. Although he said that he hated Jerome Bonaparte, a guy who did not respect God, he did not hate Frederick Bonaparte. Some even like this cute little guy.

After all, most people miss the past the older they get, and they sometimes instill this nostalgia in their young lives.

"My godson, the Lord's eyes have been on you since the moment you were born..." As Pius IX said, he handed over Frederick Bonaparte to the Bishop of Notre Dame beside him.

The Bishop of Notre Dame de Paris gently held Frederick above the wooden basin at home, waiting for Pius IX to start, Pius IX picked up the gilded vessel and scooped the water to the vessel, watering Frederick. Bonaparte all over.

Soon, after the whole body of Frederick Bonaparte was watered, Pius IX once again ordered the priest beside him to wipe the body of the crown prince.

After the body of Crown Prince Frederick was completely wiped dry, Pius IX closed Frederick's new clothes again.

The originally suspended Mass was sung again, and Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta once again stood in the center of the main altar under the order of Pope Pius IX.

Empress Augusta, who took Frederick Bonaparte in both hands, once again expressed her gratitude to Pope Pius IX, and Jerome Bonaparte also expressed her gratitude to Pius IX.

In a solemn mass, Baptism 10 officially ended. Pius IX, his entourage, and the bishop left the main altar. Jerome Bonaparte, Queen Augusta and the guests returned to Tuinlery in a carriage. palace.

On the way to the Tuinlery Palace by carriage, Jerome Bonaparte looked at Frederick Bonaparte, who was being embraced by Augusta. He felt that he proposed to Queen Augusta. A recommendation.

"Augusta!"

"What's wrong!" Queen Augusta raised her head and looked at Jerome Bonaparte.

"I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Augusta.

"What advice?" Queen Augusta asked.

"I want to take all the children born in the two days of Friedrich Bonaparte's birth and baptism as godsons and goddaughters. What do you think?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Queen Augusta. one sentence.

"Are you crazy?" Queen Augusta asked Jerome Bonaparte in surprise.

"No!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and replied to Queen Augusta: "I'm not crazy! I think this is a way to connect us closely with our subjects!

Now that we are both parents, we should play an exemplary role in France.

We are not only the parents of Frederick, but also the fathers of the whole of France! "

After Queen Augusta thought for a moment, she also thought that what Jerome Bonaparte said was indeed reasonable.

So, Queen Augusta nodded and said to Jerome Bonaparte, "Just do as you say!"

When Jerome Bonaparte arrived at the Tuinlery Palace by carriage, Mocart, who is now at the gate of the Tuinlery Palace, hurriedly trotted to Jerome Bonaparte's side to open the door for him.

Jerome Bonaparte, who got off the carriage, immediately told Mocart that he must publish a news in tomorrow's newspaper. The content of the news is: The child born on the two days of the birth and baptism of the Prince Frederick will be the godsons of the king and queen.

Mokar said: Please rest assured, Your Majesty, he will definitely handle this matter.

A grand banquet was held in the Tuyinleli Palace. The banquet lasted for nearly three hours before it stopped.

When Jerome Bonaparte, who had finished the banquet, was about to return to work, he suddenly received news that Archduke Maximilian requested to receive him.

"Maximilians!" Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, then patted his head and said to himself: "Damn, I almost forgot!"

"Mocar, you immediately take Grand Duke Maximilian to the study, and tell him to wait in the study for a while!" Jerome Bonaparte called Mocar again and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mocar nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte,

Jerome Bonaparte immediately walked out of the Tuinlery Palace and left again in a carriage.

The carriage led Jerome Bonaparte to the gates of a group of mansions in the Saint-Germain district

"Wait for me here for a while!"

After speaking, Jerome Bonaparte went straight to the mansion and knocked on the door of the mansion.

"Who?" A voice asked from inside the mansion.

"Me! Jerome Bonaparte!" Jerome Bonaparte responded sternly.

Hearing the name of Jerome Bonaparte, the mansion opened immediately. An old man with a wrinkled face appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte. He hurriedly saluted Jerome Bonaparte and said: "Your Majesty, why are you here in person!"

"What? Are you not welcome? Mr. Czartoryski!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled in response to the old man in front of him.

"Welcome, of course!" The old man quickly shook his head and said enthusiastically to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, whenever you come over, you will receive a warm welcome! Every Poles will never forget, Your Majesty. Your contribution to Poland!"
