Versailles Wild Rose

The author has something to say:

The story of "The Man in the Iron Mask" is based on Dumas's "Fire-Gunner" series of novels.The relevant plot is in the last part of the trilogy, "The Viscount of Blagelona".

It mentioned that Philip is Louis' twin brother, but there is another brother named Philip, which translates to "Wang Taidi".Wangdi's special title is "onfrère my younger brother".In 1660 (20 years old), Philip inherited the Duke of Orleans and fiefdom from his uncle.

In real history, the relationship between Louis and Philip is very good. Louis became the throne at the age of 5, and Philip was only 3 years old. They were still children. They ate, slept and slept together.Even his mother, Austrian Anna, could not disturb Louis when he was eating, with the exception of his younger brother.After the pro-government, the majesty of Louis' king was that if the king did not give special instructions, everyone could only stand and not sit down. Only the king's brother could sit down whenever he wanted, and he could sit down at any time without the king's permission.

Since the novel is too thick, I gave up messing with it. The plot of this story is fully close to the movie "The Man in the Iron Mask", referring to the French drama "Versailles".

The next volume of "Southern Rose [Gone with the Wind]" is to be published. The heroine is Scarlett's uncle and cousin. She is a very emotional gold digger who only loves money.

Slow steps echoed along the corridors of the Louvre, the King's Mother in front, Abigail de Barberion behind.

As the Queen Mother's new maid, Abigail is still getting familiar with the business.

The queen mother was born in the Spanish royal family, and the Spanish royal family came from the Austrian Habsburg family, so the queen mother was called "Austrian Anna" after she married in Paris.Anna of Austria was a small, beautiful woman.

Of course, if it wasn't a beauty, how could she have given birth to two handsome sons.

Behind the queen mother is another female attendant, the Marquise de Montiel. The queen mother is 57 years old, Mrs. de Montiel is 40 years old, and Abigail is 16 years old.

"Follow up." Madame de Montière quickly turned her head and glanced at Abigail, urging her in a low voice.

Abigail was attracted by the gorgeous decoration in the Louvre, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances, and thus fell behind a few steps.She quickly followed in small steps.

There are no clear corridors in French palaces. They are said to be corridors, but they are actually doors that open. People walk from one door to another, and from one room to another.

The Queen Mother is going to see her son, King of France, Louis XIV.

The king is in his chambers, in his own bed.

"Mother! You can't just come in like this!" said the young king angrily.He rolled over from the woman on the bed, not intending to cover his body at all.

Anna of Austria seemed no stranger to this kind of thing, and turned a blind eye to it, "Put on your clothes. You are a king, please maintain a little bit of king's dignity."

"But you're my mother." Louie stretched out his arms, motioning for Abigail to put his pajamas on.

"You are not ashamed! You are not the king's maid, Miss Babelion."

Louis said with a smile, "Your maid just did a little work." He pinched Abigail's nose.

"Don't think so beautifully! Don't always turn my maid into your mistress. I promised her mother that I will find a suitable husband for her."

"It's boring!" Louis brushed his long golden-brown curly hair, "Why do beautiful girls always have a husband?"

"That's because not every girl is as rich as your cousin, the Infanta," said Madame de Montière.

Abigail looked at the woman on the bed, the poor woman was completely naked, she could only pull up the silk floss to cover her body as much as possible.The young king already had several mistresses, and she did not know which ones they were.

Madame de Montière gestured to Abigail, who understood, went around to the other side of the bed, and took the woman away.

Court life is very interesting, full of hexagrams, the nobles have no concept of chastity, men mess around, and women fuck too.Husbands have mistresses and illegitimate children, so don't mind wives having mistresses and illegitimate children. The proportion of Lao Wang in the next door is very high, and sometimes the wife doesn't know whose cubs she is.

But, that's the way it is, it's okay if you don't want to get involved, as long as you have a very powerful protector.

She is the youngest daughter and the youngest child of the Countess of Barberion. Her mother was once a maid brought from Spain by Anna of Austria. It is no problem that the queen's maids are of noble origin; now, her The mother sent her to the Queen Mother, so that she would have a chance to find a suitable husband.

She has her own room in the Louvre, near the queen mother's bedroom. The queen mother has more than 20 rooms, including the bedroom, living room, living room, meeting room, study, cloakroom, three bathrooms and toilets, etc., the room of the maid is not included .

As maidservant of the queen mother, she had her own bedroom and living room, and the court tailor made her many exquisite gowns, decorated with lace and pearls.The queen mother liked the beautifully dressed maids, and said that her youth was the best decoration, and she didn't need gems or other decorations, so she ordered the tailor to decorate the skirt with pearls only.

Louis despises the plainness of pearls, and thinks that the mother's maid should not be dressed so plainly.

Abigail took the woman to a nearby room, told her to dress and go back to her bedroom.The mistress of the king has her own room in the palace. Whether she is favored or not depends on the number of rooms she owns. The more favored the mistress, the more rooms she occupies, the more jewels she will be rewarded with. However, the king has not yet achieved financial freedom, so he can only reward There are jewelry.

She did not go back to the king's chambers.

The relationship between the queen mother and the king is a bit tricky, and the usual conversation revolves around "power" and "politics", which is extremely boring.

Maids don’t follow the hostess 24 hours a day. Maids’ work is actually very leisurely. What they do is to follow the Queen Mother, send a letter or a message, summon someone according to the hostess’ request, or go out to buy things— — This is rarely the case.

This room was the king's living room, and Louis hadn't taken charge yet, so there was nothing to deal with.There was a large mahogany desk in the room, with carved legs.

On the desk was a silver ink stand with two bottles of ink on it, two quills in the pen holder next to it, a stack of letter paper next to the quills, next to it was a wooden blotting roller, candle wax, no seal, Probably put it away.

Probably the only function of these items is to write small notes to mistresses.

Abigail curled her lips.

She didn't rummage around. It would be unwise to rummage through the king's things. She could pass the time by looking at the oil paintings and wallpaper patterns on the walls.If not, you can still study the uniform patterns and styles of the guards by the door.

The bodyguards are all good looking, they are all young boys selected from noble families, the lowest born are the sons of knights, there will be no commoner children.The job is in high demand, after all, who doesn't want to be gilded in the palace before coming out?If nothing else, the next step for the young guards is to become a soldier or officer in the King's Guard, and the Musketeers.

If nothing else, her husband may be an officer in the King's Guard, aged between 25 and 30, the son of an earl or the youngest son of a marquis.

It's boring to think about it.

The queen mother didn't talk with the king for a long time, and she came out after ten minutes.

It seems that today's matter is not very serious.She stood up and followed the queen mother out of the king's bedroom.

Anna of Austria has fair skin. When she was young, she had a long-term relationship with the former King Louis XIII.Probably because they were both still children when they got married. The 13-year-old couple were both still children. Spoiled and pampered met pampered, and they didn't grow up together. It's strange to be able to get along well.

The women in the palace are very poor.Women in the royal family usually marry very early. It is normal to marry at the age of 13. It is rare if there are princesses who are not married as late as 16.Regardless of Britain or France and Spain, women in the court could not refuse the king's courtship.

She had just arrived at the Louvre when she heard that Cardinal Mazarin's niece, Mademoiselle Marie de Mancini, was the young King's first love.However, the king will definitely marry a princess in the future, the love between Mademoiselle de Mansigny and Louis is destined to end without a problem, and Bishop Mazarin even sent his niece to the countryside far away.

The Queen Mother did not go out again this afternoon, and went back to the palace to rest.

Abigail will be fine.

You can't walk around in the palace at leisure. Although she was curious and always wanted to raise her legs to take a good look at the Louvre, she restrained herself.

She had been in the Louvre for less than two weeks, and everything was new to her.

Everything was very backward in the 17th century. There was no artifact such as a flush toilet, and there was no running water.It's troublesome, but it's not the nobles who are troublesome, she just needs to order it to go on.

The lighting at night is also a problem. Not to mention electric lights, there are not even kerosene lamps, so multi-branched candlesticks are standard equipment. If you want to brightly light the room, you have to light a chandelier and use the reflection of the mirror.

It's not that the palace is not lively at night, on the contrary, Louis likes it very much, and the king doesn't have to think about expenses, only "I think".For example, tonight, the king called jugglers to perform in the restaurant.

The queen mother did not dine with the king, and Abigail did not have to go to the dining room with her.The maid brought the supper, and after supper she was ready to wash herself, and then went to bed and slept soundly.

The bathroom is nominally owned by the queen mother, but the queen mother cannot personally use the three bathrooms. Except for the bathroom dedicated to the queen mother, the female attendants can use the other two bathrooms.

The bathroom is also very big, as big as an ordinary room. The bathtub is carved out of a whole piece of white crystal. When hot water is poured in, the flow of water can almost be seen through the crystal cylinder.

There is a fan screen next to the bathtub, which is also a very fashionable decoration in the Louvre.A nightdress and a large towel were draped over the screen.

"Mary, Mary?" The water was a little cold, she called to the maid, thinking that the maid seemed to have gone to the end of the sky with a pitcher, and why she couldn't come back.

Forget it, let's get up, just as she was about to stand up, someone opened the door and came in.

"Oh! Mary, where have you been? The water is cold."

Soon, a stream of warm water poured over her hair.

"You idiot!" she yelled angrily.

"Who are you calling stupid?" It was a young man's voice.

Abigail was startled. "How did you get here? Did anyone see you?"

Louis put his hands on her shoulders, "No."

"Go away! You wet my hair!"
