Although they were not sure what etiquette this was, the French nobles still stepped forward to salute one after another. The French noble ladies were carefully observing Mrs. Yang's behavior and thinking about how to wear this whalebone skirt to perform this kind of Eastern greeting etiquette.

Louis XIV said proudly: "Mrs. Yang is not only a Chinese noblewoman, but also an artist. Before the ball officially begins, Mrs. Yang is invited to show off her superb painting skills."

The paints have been mixed long ago, and the complete set of painting equipment has also been shipped from China.

Mrs. Yang behaved gracefully and said to everyone in French: "I am short of time, so I will draw a sketch tonight."

The drawing paper was spread out on the dining table, and Mrs. Yang took up her pen and daubed it at will.

It was hard to see anything at first, but soon the shape was revealed. A bird was standing on a branch. The bird was painted in ink, but the branches were full of peach blossoms, and the little bits of red made the picture brighter.

The nobles were amazed by the rapid creation of exquisite pictures and no longer questioned Mrs. Yang's identity as an artist.

Then, Mrs. Yang showed off her musical skills, first playing the pipa and then the guzheng. The French aristocrats gathered around Mrs. Yang as if they had heard the fairy music and refused to leave.

Instead of being angry, Louis XIV felt his face was bright and he was smiling from beginning to end.

He has decided to build a palace specifically for Mrs. Yang in the Palace of Versailles, and all the palaces will be based on Chinese garden specifications.

Only the French queen and another mistress who had just fallen out of favor stood at the ball with dark faces throughout.

A famous prostitute from China is about to cause trouble in the French court!

Immediately afterwards, Louis XIV himself performed in the ballet and won applause from the audience. Mrs. Yang was disdainful, but she also applauded enthusiastically and cast an admiring look at the king.

Finally, during the dance, Louis III, now Duke of Orleans and Prince of Condé, obtained the king's permission to invite Madame Young to dance.

The two hugged each other. Madam Yang was not very familiar with this dance and kept apologizing for stepping on her feet and praising Louis III for his handsomeness and masculinity.

Before the song was finished, the prince was coaxed to smile and asked: "What title did Madam hold before?"

Mrs. Yang talked nonsense according to the script: "My father was a marquis of the previous dynasty of China, and I am his father's only daughter. When the Chinese emperor established a new dynasty, my family also declined, and I had to marry a wealthy businessman.

."

The prince said pitifully: "I'm really sorry for bringing up your sadness. Maybe we should call you Marquise."

"I like this title." Mrs. Yang smiled.

As a result, famous prostitutes from China became marquises. And those French aristocrats were proud to associate with Chinese marquises. When Parisian ladies held salons, they always invited marquises to participate, and they also had to attend the salons.

Put some porcelain, otherwise it will look classless.

The prince asked again: "Has Madam ever seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of China?"

Mrs. Yang had obviously received training on the ship and knew which one the eldest princess was referring to. She smiled and said: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and her husband lived in Guangzhou for several years, and I happened to be living in Guangzhou at that time. I had the honor to meet

I have met Her Royal Highness several times. She is very beautiful and extremely smart. You may not believe that when I met Her Royal Highness, she was already 50 years old, but she did not look old at all, as if she was still thirty years old.

appearance."

"Really?" the prince asked in surprise.

Mrs. Yang said: "Of course, Her Royal Highness also likes art, so I was invited. But she will also invite many scholars to talk about some philosophical topics. I don't understand mathematics and astronomy at all, but Her Royal Highness is extremely proficient.

The invited scholars were also impressed."

The prince sighed with emotion: "What a perfect princess. It's a pity that I can't see her in person."

With the spread of the portrait, Zhao Zhenfang's popularity in France has become second only to Emperor Zhao Han.

Even Zhao Zhenfang gradually appeared in literary works, and the contents were similar.

He is a down-and-out nobleman from France who went to sea and experienced various adventures. When he arrived in Guangzhou, he accepted the help of a Chinese princess. Every time Zhao Zhenfang appears in the novel, she is always elegant and beautiful, and she is also full of resourcefulness. She even has an affair with the male protagonist.

Affair.

A few years later, Zhao Zhenfang's second son got a French translation of the novel and was immediately outraged by the content.

Zheng Sen also learned about the situation from his son. He couldn't laugh or cry. He was so angry that he didn't know who to turn to. He couldn't go to France to ban this book, right?

At this moment, Louis XIV was very satisfied.

Wearing tight trousers and high heels, he looked around the entire dance floor, with a kind of pride that looked down on the world. Under his rule, France has dominated Europe, and now he has a Chinese Marquise as his mistress. Both his career and life are perfect.

That's why he said that famous saying: "I am the Sun King of the West, Zhao is the Philosopher King of the East, and the two greatest monarchs in the world are here."
