But the peacocks , who were sitting upon every tree waiting to salute her , and who had made up their minds to cry , ` Long live our beautiful Queen ! ' when they caught sight of the false bride could not help crying instead : ` Oh ! how ugly she is ! ' Which offended her so much that she said to the guards : ` Make haste and kill all these insolent peacocks who have dared to insult me . ' But the peacocks only flew away , laughing at her . The rogue of a boatman , who noticed all this , said softly to the nurse : ` This is a bad business for us , gossip ; your daughter ought to have been prettier . ' But she answered : ` Be quiet , stupid , or you will spoil everything . ' Now they told the King that the Princess was approaching . ` Well , ' said he , ` did her brothers tell me truly ? Is she prettier than her portrait ? ' ` Sire , ' they answered , ` if she were as pretty that would do very well . ' ` That 's true , ' said the King ; ' I for one shall be quite satisfied if she is . Let us go and meet her . ' For they knew by the uproar that she had arrived , but they could not tell what all the shouting was about . The King thought he could hear the words : ` How ugly she is ! How ugly she is ! ' and he fancied they must refer to some dwarf the Princess was bringing with her . It never occurred to him that they could apply to the bride herself . The Princess Rosette 's portrait was carried at the head of the procession , and after it walked the King surrounded by his courtiers . He was all impatience to see the lovely Princess , but when he caught sight of the nurse 's daughter he was furiously angry , and would not advance another step .
