The love between Elizabeth and Joseph is as romantic and beautiful as a fairy tale.
Although Elizabeth is a princess of a ducal family, her father is a man who loves country life, freedom, and interaction with common people.
Elizabeth is very much like her father. She grew up in the country and is also a freedom-loving girl.
When she was sixteen years old, she accompanied her mother and sister to attend His Majesty the Emperor's ball.
In fact, it was a blind date dance held by the Queen Mother for her son. The Queen Mother took a fancy to Elizabeth's sister, a dignified and elegant girl who was most suitable for the royal family.
However, fate is so wonderful.
Elizabeth did not go to the palace with her mother and sister to meet the queen mother and the emperor, but climbed over the wall and went out to fish and play.
As a result, the fish was not caught, but His Majesty the Emperor who was passing by was caught.
The two fell in love at first sight.
After the ball, the emperor met Elizabeth.
After knowing that his sweetheart was not an ordinary commoner, but a noble princess, Joseph was very happy and resolutely rejected the Queen Mother's decision to let him marry Elizabeth's sister, but insisted on marrying Elizabeth.
The Queen Mother did not like Elizabeth who was too lively and reckless, and believed that she was not suitable to be a qualified queen.
But the son insisted that the Queen Mother had no choice but to accept this daughter-in-law, thinking that she would teach Elizabeth after she got married.
And her decision made Elizabeth's life very difficult after her marriage.
The lively and free girl was bound by strict rules and forced to learn a lot of knowledge that she didn't like.
How could Elizabeth bear it?
No one in the palace understood her, and she had no one to complain to.
Liu Heng made Elizabeth feel that he was her confidant, so she chatted with Liu Heng when she had time and confided her unhappiness to him.
Liu Heng didn’t know how to comfort Elizabeth.
As the queen of a country, she has responsibilities that she must bear.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
The moment she became queen, she gave up a lot.
In fact, the Queen Mother is right. Elizabeth is not suitable to be the queen of a country.
The most correct thing to do is for her not to marry Joseph in the first place.
But when love comes, no one can stay rational and plan for the future.
Liu Heng couldn't offer any useful advice to Elizabeth. He just acted as a quiet listener and gave Elizabeth a plate of sweets when she was in a bad mood.
Isn’t it said that sweets can make people feel better?
Liu Heng told Elizabeth how to make some current desserts.
Elizabeth likes to eat sweets. After hearing Liu Heng's words, she felt like she had found a treasure, so she took her maid and tried to make it herself.
Although Elizabeth has never cooked before, she is ingenious and handy, and the steps given by Liu Hieragi are very detailed. Elizabeth made a very delicious dessert after trying it once or twice.
Elizabeth shared the dessert she made with everyone.
Both Joseph and other ministers and ladies were full of praise for the desserts made by Elizabeth.
Even the Queen Mother said two words calmly: "Not bad."
Elizabeth's enthusiasm was high, and she was now completely obsessed with cooking.
Liu Tong gave Elizabeth several cookbooks, including methods for making modern desserts and recipes for Chinese cuisine.
These recipes were enough for Elizabeth to study for a long time.
In this way, her life in the palace will not be so boring and depressing.
Liu Hiiragi said goodbye.
Elizabeth is very reluctant to let go of Liu Hierapolis, but as she regards Liu Hierapolis as her own, she is unwilling to stop Liu Hiiragi and her shared ideal: traveling throughout Europe. She was unable to realize this ideal, so she pinned her ideal on Liu Heng.
Elizabeth asked Liu Heng to write to her every time he went to a place, describing the customs, customs and scenery of that place, and Liu Heng naturally agreed.
Every time he went to a place, he would describe the characteristics of that place in detail, write a thick letter, attach local specialties, and send it to Elizabeth.
Although the two never met again, Liu Hiong became Elizabeth's best friend.
Liu Hiiragi came to Venice.
There is no Sherlock in this world.
No, there is, but it's not the real Shylock, but exists in the play.
A loan shark who was despised and despised by others, stole the chicken but lost the rice. His family property was taken away by the clever heroine, and he eventually became a beggar and died of hunger and cold.
Because the story takes place in Venice, the Opera House in Venice often performs "The Merchant of Venice".
Liu Hiiragi went to see an opera performance.
To be honest, it’s very good.
He knows clearly that opera is opera, not reality.
The Shylock in the opera is not his father Shylock in his previous life.
He still admires the play "The Merchant of Venice".
Liu Hiiragi took a boat and shuttled through Venice.
The Venice of this world has many similarities and differences with the Venice of the previous world.
There are some places that feel familiar to Liu Heng.
He traveled throughout Venice with nostalgia, and then he came to a place one by one with tools.
When he was in the last world, he heard Shylock mention that the Duke of Venice died after losing a political struggle. Most of his family property was missing. Everyone speculated that he hid the property. .
Many people want to find this treasure and become rich instantly.
Shylock later got a treasure map, which may be the treasure map of the Duke's treasure.
But before Shylock took Liu Heng to dig for treasure, the loan incident happened, and the two father and son had to leave Venice.
The two of them did not dig for the treasure, and they did not know where the treasure map was thrown.
However, Liu Hao had already memorized all the contents on the treasure map, and he became interested. Is the treasure map useful in this world?
After all, the Duke who failed in the struggle also exists in this world.
There is also a legend about the Duke’s treasure circulating in this world.
Liu Heng found the treasure location and started digging.
The results are very gratifying.
The treasure really exists, and the treasure map is also real. Liu Hiiragi really dug it up and kept it.
A box of gold coins, a box of silver antiques, and a box of gems.
The combined value of these things is higher than the value of the first treasure Liu Hao dug.
Liu Heng secretly moved these collections back to his residence.
The next day, he disguised himself as another person and took half of the treasure to sell.
Because it was something for free, Liu Hieraoch asked for a low price and successfully sold everything, earning a large amount of money.
Of course he was targeted.
But Liu Heng successfully shook off the people following him and took off his makeup. No one recognized him as the person selling the treasure. (End of chapter)
