Just when Queen Augusta and Elizabeth both sighed for the order of women all over the world, Jerome Bonaparte was communicating with the important ministers who attended the banquet at the Hofburg Palace under the recommendation of Franz Joseph.

And the first person Franz Joseph introduced to Jerome Bonaparte was none other than the 79-year-old Marshal Radetzky.

"Jerome, this is Marquis Radetzky! Now he is serving as the Governor of Venice and Lombardy!" Franz Joseph introduced to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty!" Although Marshal Radetzky was 89 years old, he still responded to Jerome Bonaparte with vigour.

"Radetzky Raiders, it's an honor to meet you, a legend!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and shook hands with Radetzky.

"Your Majesty, you have shown your love!" Marshal Radetzky responded humbly to Jerome Bonaparte, and then replied complimentably, "I am just a warrior, but you are the emperor of a country.

You are the real legend! "

"You are too modest!" Jerome Bonaparte also responded modestly, "Those who can stand out in the era of great change are far from those of us who grew up in the era of peace!"

"Your Majesty, that era belonged to His Majesty Napoleon, the Duke of Wellington and the Archduke Karl, and I was nothing but a nobody!

Because I have lived longer than those legends, my name can fall into your ears! "Marshal Radetzky remains humble.

Seeing that both Jerome Bonaparte and Marshal Radetzky were too modest, Franz Joseph cleared his throat and said goodbye to Radetzky on behalf of Jerome Bonaparte.

He was afraid that if the two of them continued to be so modest, the whole dinner would be spent admiring each other.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph left Radetzky and turned to a middle-aged man in a light blue military uniform.

"This is General Albrecht, who is now the Governor of Hungary!" Franz Joseph introduced to Jerome Bonaparte again.

"General Albrecht, hello!" Jerome Bonaparte also stretched out his hand and said to Albrecht: "Your performance during the Omimoz period was fantastic!"

Albrecht's face was slightly surprised. He did not expect that His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte could still remember Omimotz a few years ago. He also responded humbly to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, you have passed the prize!"

Jerome Bonaparte immediately sent an invitation to Albrecht, hoping that he could go to France in his spare time to strengthen the communication between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire.

Albrecht said that if he had the chance, he would definitely go to the French Empire.

Immediately afterwards, Franz Joseph introduced Wendischgritz and others to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte communicated with them enthusiastically, and soon it was 7 o'clock in the evening.

Following a solemn announcement by the director of the Hofburg Palace, Jerome Bonaparte and his wife Franz Joseph went to the restaurant for dinner under the guidance of the director.

The important ministers who attended the Hofburg Palace (who had insufficient status and went to another restaurant) also dined with Jerome Bonaparte and others.

When Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph arrived at the restaurant, they were greeted by a long dining table that could accommodate 50 people.

On the main seat of the dining table, there are 4 back chairs, which are obviously where the couple Jérôme Bonaparte and Mrs. Franz Joseph are going to sit.

"Four Majesties, please take your seat!" The palace steward bowed and said to them.

The couple Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph were the first to do it, and then the rest of the guests sat down one after another under the guidance of the royal steward and the surrounding costumed servants.

After all the people present were seated, the palace chief hurriedly poured wine for the four His Majesty, and the remaining servants also poured wine for the important officials attending the banquet.

After all the cups of princes and ministers were filled with wine, Franz Joseph as the host raised his glasses and called on everyone present to toast the arrival of Jerome Bonaparte and his wife.

Everyone including Jérôme Bonaparte and his wife raised their glasses to win, and the first glass of wine ended like this.

After everyone put the wine glasses, the palace steward gave the surrounding servants a wink, and the servants poured wine again for the important ministers. The palace steward also poured wine for Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph.

After the second glass of wine began, Jerome Bonaparte raised his glass to express his gratitude to Franz Joseph for his hospitality, and at the same time called on everyone present to cheer for the friendship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire.

Everyone raised the glass again and shouted "Long live" three times, and the second glass of wine was settled.

After two glasses of aperitifs, servants with aluminum plates entered the restaurant, and they placed dishes in front of everyone.

Everyone started to eat under the leadership of the two monarchs. Perhaps because of the rules set by the Hofburg Palace, the whole dinner was very gentle. Basically, after a small bite of each dish, they were quickly removed and replaced Another dish.

This made Jerome Bonaparte feel tormented about the meal once again. At the end of the whole banquet, Jerome Bonaparte was only half full.

But even so, the whole banquet took nearly two hours.

The "eat and drink" crowd began to engage in the next entertainment, which was dancing.

Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta, Franz Joseph and Elisabeth, the two monarchs dance to the elegant music.

After a dance, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta walked off the dance floor.

And after Franz Joseph and Elizabeth saw Jerome Bonaparte and his wife walking off the dance floor, they also followed.

"What's the matter? Is there anything you are not satisfied with?" Franz Joseph asked Jerome Bonaparte with concern.

"No!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and Franz Joseph replied, "Augusta and I have been dancing almost every night these days, so I'm a little tired and want to rest! Franz , you and Elizabeth have another dance! Leave us alone!"

Franz Joseph glanced at Elizabeth beside him, and after realizing that Elizabeth didn't really want to return to the dance floor, he also shook his head and responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "I'd better stay with you! "

The four of them sat on the chairs under the dance floor and looked at the crowd dancing on the dance floor.

After a while, Jerome Bonaparte asked for four glasses of wine from the servants who were wandering around the dance floor.

After the servant brought four glasses of wine, Jerome Bonaparte invited Franz Joseph to drink.

This time, everyone didn't drink like they did before, but just tasted it.

After the two dances, the wine was less than half drunk.

Then the director of the palace appeared again and told everyone present that they could change the dance partner.

Several noble ladies immediately appeared in front of Franz Joseph and Jerome Bonaparte. They invited Jerome Bonaparte and Franz in front of Elizabeth and Queen Augusta. . Joseph dances.

Looking at the noble lady Franz Joseph in front of him, he was a little eager to try, and he glanced at Jerome Bonaparte, and the meaning was self-evident!

"Franz, you go first!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Franz Joseph, and then pointed to the red wine in the glass: "I personally like it from beginning to end!"

"Alright then!" Franz Joseph had to dance with one of the ladies.

At this time, he did not see the sadness in Elizabeth's eyes at all.

Seeing that Jerome Bonaparte was unwilling to dance with them, the remaining ladies had to return to the dance floor to find other nobles to dance with.

The music sounded again, and Franz Joseph, who was standing in the center of the dance floor, began to devote himself to the dance.

Jerome Bonaparte continued to taste the wine, and kept looking at the crowd on the dance floor.

Seeing this, Augusta, who was sitting beside Jerome Bonaparte, immediately leaned over to Jerome Bonaparte and said in a low voice, "When the next song is over, you can invite Sissy. Let's dance!"

After hearing Augusta's words, Jerome Bonaparte showed a stunned expression on his face. He lowered his voice and replied, "What do you want?"

Although it was said that Jerome Bonaparte could indeed invite Elizabeth to dance, the dancing in the past few days had almost made him disgusted with dancing, and he really didn't want to go on the dance floor any more.

"Dancing!" Queen Augusta responded immediately.

"Do you have anything to do?" Elizabeth, who was sitting opposite Jerome Bonaparte, asked them with curious eyes.

Queen Augusta hurriedly approached Elizabeth and told Elizabeth that Jerome Bonaparte wanted to invite her to dance.

"Really! Your Majesty!" Elizabeth turned her gaze to Jerome Bonaparte and asked.

Looking at the 18-year-old little woman in front of her, Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said politely, "I don't know if I can have the honor to invite you to dance with me!"

"Your Majesty, it is my pleasure!" Elizabeth replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

After the dance music ended, Jerome Bonaparte stood up and faced Elizabeth.

Elizabeth also got up in a hurry, and everyone on the dance floor turned their attention to the direction of Jerome Bonaparte.

I saw Jerome Bonaparte gently hold Elizabeth's hand, put it on the lips and kiss it, and said without any hesitation: "Can I invite you to a dance? My angel!"

Facing Jerome Bonaparte's affectionate address, Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course! Your Majesty!"
