Jerome Bonaparte knew that his answer would not convince the Prussian minister, but would aggravate the Prussian minister's inner doubts, but so what! He is not Prussia's nanny and has no obligation to provide answers to the Kingdom of Prussia.

If the Prussian minister is willing to believe it, then naturally everyone will be happy.

If the Prussian minister does not want to believe it, or even thinks that the Austrian Empire has a conspiracy with him, then the Kingdom of Prussia can directly lead an army to flatten his empire.

"Your Excellency, Minister, I am about to enter the dance floor!" Jérôme Bonaparte said with a hint of pride in his words.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you!" The Prussian minister also realized his offense and hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

Entering the dance floor, Jerome Bonaparte saw Mrs. Valewski in front of him and danced with him.

During the dance, Mrs. Walewski gave him hints such as rubbing red beans on her breasts. Jérôme Bonaparte remained unmoved and finished the dance wholeheartedly.

"Madam!" Taking advantage of the gap between the two songs, Jérôme Bonaparte leaned into Madame Walewski's ear and whispered to Madame Walewski: "I liked the dance with me better last time. of you!"

After saying that, Jerome Bonaparte turned around and left in a cool manner, leaving Mrs. Valewski standing there blankly staring at Jerome Bonaparte's back.

And this scene between Jérôme Bonaparte and Madame Valewski happened to be seen by Princess Mathilde who was now on the edge of the dance floor.

Princess Mathilde, who had no dealings with Mrs. Walewski, whispered to the people around her: "That Polish woman (Mrs. Walewski) is really shameless!"

The gentlemen and ladies surrounding Princess Mathilde could only nod in agreement with Princess Mathilde.

The dance came to an end as it approached 12 o'clock.

Jerome Bonaparte and Prince Albert met again in a corner of the ballroom.

"Why is everyone accustomed to having some formal conversations during entertainment times! Whether in Britain or France!" Prince Albert complained to Jerome Bonaparte in a low voice.

"This is probably because they do not regard this ball as an entertainment event!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and responded to Prince Albert: "The biggest function of the ball is not to bring each other closer. Well!"

"By the way! Did the Prussian minister come to see you just now?" Prince Albert asked Jerome Bonaparte again.

Jerome Bonaparte nodded and responded to Prince Albert without any concealment: "Looking for it! He wants to get news about the Austrian Empire from here!"

"The Prussian minister also came to see me just now!" Prince Albert also responded: "He asked me about the same questions as you!"

"It seems that the pressure we have brought to the Kingdom of Prussia is too great!" Jerome Bonaparte said in a brisk tone.

"Who says it's not?" Prince Albert also shrugged and said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Then again, Metternich is indeed Metternich! Just a few words will do it." Let the minister of a country develop a sense of crisis!"

"Mr. Metternich is, after all, the man who has dominated the entire European system for nearly thirty years! His every move cannot but make people imagine!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded.

"Yes!" Albert agreed with Jérôme Bonaparte's view, and then changed the subject and said to Jérôme Bonaparte: "But then, the whole of Europe will be dominated by France!"

As soon as Prince Albert finished speaking, an alarm bell immediately sounded in Jérôme Bonaparte's heart. He didn't know whether Albert's words came from his thoughts or had been brewing for a while, but this For Jérôme Bonaparte, this is undoubtedly a dangerous signal.

Jérôme Bonaparte replied to Prince Albert unhurriedly: "France has given up its dream of dominating the European continent! We only hope to have our own place in this land of Europe...Only Europe Peace can only come when the forces of all parties are balanced!"

A smile appeared on Prince Albert's face, which made Jerome Bonaparte unclear about his inner thoughts.

However, Jerome Bonaparte guessed that Prince Albert most likely regarded his remarks as farts.

It’s just that Prince Albert wants to give him face and not expose him!

"The Kingdom of Britain hopes that the French Empire can keep its promise!" Prince Albert responded slowly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Don't worry! Destroying the European order will not do France any good. France is also willing to maintain order after completely defeating the Russian Empire!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Prince Albert.

When Jérôme Bonaparte finished speaking these words, the orchestra also stopped playing.

Jerome Bonaparte walked to the dance floor and announced the end in a solemn tone.

One by one, foreign envoys said goodbye to Jerome Bonaparte, Victoria and his wife, and Franz Joseph.

After all the foreign envoys had left, Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph also said goodbye to Victoria and his wife.

Jerome Bonaparte specially reminded Victoria and Albert to get up early tomorrow to attend the military parade. Then Jerome Bonaparte hugged Victoria and his wife. After Victoria and his wife bid farewell, Jerome Bonaparte Leaving the Louvre on foot with Franz Joseph and Prince Metternich.

[PS: The Louvre and the Tuileries are very close. Napoleon III during the OTL period had already connected the Tuileries and the Louvre.

In this time and space, Jérôme Bonaparte only needed enough housing, so he kept putting off the matter of connecting the Tuileries Palace and the Louvre. 】

Walking on the road under the moonlight, Jérôme Bonaparte felt a long-lost peace in his heart. It had been a long time since he had walked down the road so quietly.

"Franz!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Franz Joseph.

"What?" Franz Joseph asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"How about we make a gentleman's agreement!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Franz Joseph.

"What agreement?" Franz Joseph continued to ask.

"I can assure you that as long as I and my descendants are still in charge of the French Empire, France will never take action against the Austrian Empire! Can you make the same guarantee to me?" Jérôme Bonaparte He said to Franz Joseph seriously.

"I can also guarantee you!" Franz Joseph immediately responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "As long as France does not take action against the Austrian Empire, then the Austrian Empire will also not take action against the French Empire!"

"High five as a pledge?"

"High-five!"

Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph's hands touched each other.

After Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph separated their hands, Prince Metternich praised: "What a sacred moment! How I want to use oil painting to mark this moment forever!"

Later, Jerome Bonaparte asked Franz Joseph if he would like to leave a portrait in the Tuileries Palace after the military parade.

Faced with Jerome Bonaparte's overtures, Franz Joseph nodded in agreement without hesitation: "Of course!"

Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the Tuileries Palace.

June 24, 4:45 a.m.

When the summer morning light had just enveloped the earth, a troop numbering close to ten thousand people formed a square formation and appeared near the Arc de Triomphe under the order of French Deputy Chief of Staff Niel.

At the end of this 10,000-strong army, there was also a regiment of Russian Imperial officers numbering close to a hundred people. They were prisoners of war captured by the French army in the Crimean Peninsula.

This group of Russian officers wearing uniforms of gray military uniforms looked around numbly. When they looked at the Arc de Triomphe, their faces showed a wry smile.

Thirty-nine years ago, the predecessors of the Russian Imperial Army arrived here as victors and held a sacred military parade here.

Thirty-nine years later, they, the younger generation, have to come here as prisoners of war, to be watched and scorned by the Parisians.

After about two hours passed, residents living near the Arc de Triomphe began to gather.

At 8:30 in the morning, a large crowd had gathered near the Arc de Triomphe.

At the same time, the Police Department under the Ministry of Interior also took action. Hundreds of police officers gathered near the Arc de Triomphe. Under the order of Police Director Moppa, they formed a human wall with the army to separate the parade venue from the crowd. Prevent someone from maliciously breaking in and causing damage to the parade.

Of course, the actions of the Ministry of Interior to build a human wall made Paris citizens a little dissatisfied. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan. com Because the distance between the human wall and the parade troops is more than 20 meters, it greatly affects the viewing experience.

However, generally speaking, this dissatisfaction is just a few words of verbal abuse and does not cause any substantive conflict.

The residents standing outside the human wall eagerly awaited the arrival of Jérôme Bonaparte and others.

At 9:20 a.m., the parade platform was finally completed after more than four hours of work by Niel (actually the skeleton had been built the day before).

Jérôme Bonaparte and others will review the French army on the military parade platform. This is also the first time that the French Empire has shown itself in front of foreign leaders.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the summer sun was scorching Paris. Jerome Bonaparte, Victoria and his wife, Franz Joseph and others arrived at the military parade venue.
