Versailles Wild Rose

In the carriage sat her maid Mary and another strange maid named Carol, one of Louis' maids.

The servants in the palace are all Parisians. Three generations of ordinary people who have roots in Hongmiaozheng have all passed the political review. They are Catholics. No one in the family has participated in the Fronde. Unpredictable guy.

Maids are also not too beautiful. It's not that there are no beautiful civilian girls, but they don't know how to be maids.

Beauty is a woman's capital, but it is also unfortunate in many cases.

Mary and Carol are ordinary-looking, not beautiful, but of course they can't be ugly, they are just ordinary girls.Mary is 17 and Carol is 21.

Bontemps, the steward himself, came to inform her that the king invited her to accompany him to the palace of Versailles, and she was astonished.Anna of Austria didn't say anything, but just asked her to pay attention to the young attendants around Louis and Philip.

The attendants around the king's brother are all nobles. "A baron or above is considered a person" is the court's, or rather, the current appraisal standard in the whole of Europe.The palace is a large marriage agency for noble youths, because the social scope of young men and women in this era is very limited, and it is difficult for a lady of the earl family to marry a suitable husband near her hometown.

Of course, it would be easier if she would marry the baron's son.It’s just that the eldest sister’s marriage is not very good, and her father is very dissatisfied. She is determined not to go out casually, and the baron’s son and knight’s son are not allowed to talk to her casually, for fear that she will be dizzy for love like her sister.

Thinking of her sister, Abigail secretly sighed.

The mother is beautiful, and the children are all good-looking. The elder brother Claude is handsome like a movie star, and the elder sister Rosalina is also rare and beautiful. Unfortunately, her husband's family is not very good.

Brother-in-law Nicholas is only the son of the baron, and Rosalina is considered "married".Rosalina's vision is fine. Nicholas is handsome and loves his wife very much, but he is a bit soft-tempered. Like most children in this era, he respects his parents very much.

The problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be found everywhere, regardless of the country and age. Rosalina's mother-in-law, the baroness, was very dissatisfied with her. Before her mother died, the baroness came to visit her in-laws at Barberion Manor.Abigail didn't know exactly what the two said, but after the baroness left, her mother was furious and took Rosalina home.

Rosalina gave birth to a pair of twin girls at home, and they are extremely cute.But the twins stayed at their mother's house and did not take them back.

Abigail thought for a long time why Nicholas came to pick up his wife, but didn't take the girls away. It wasn't until she came to Paris that Claude told her on the way that it was because the baroness believed that the twins were not her son's cubs, but the baron's cubs. .

Abigail was dumbfounded, flustered in the wind.

Versailles is on the outskirts of Paris, about 20 kilometers away from the Louvre. The speed of the carriage is average, and there is no need to stop and rest on the road. It takes less than two hours to arrive.

The Palace of Versailles is now just a small castle. Louis XIII likes to bring a few guards and servants to hunt. This area is very remote. There is only a small village nearby, and a little further away is a castle of the Gondy family.

The servants arrived last night, lit the fireplace in the castle, and heated up the stove. After the king and his party arrived at the castle, they could immediately enjoy the fire by the fireplace and eat some dessert.

Bontemps took Abigail to a bedroom on the second floor.

The castle is not big, and the bedroom of Louis XIII was just an ordinary room. Her room was the room where Anna of Austria once lived, and it was 3 rooms away from the king's bedroom.It doesn't mean much, it's just that there aren't many bedrooms in the castle.

It wasn't long in the carriage, and she wasn't tired, but because it was raining when she was approaching Versailles, after getting off the carriage, she found that the gate of Versailles Castle was extremely muddy, and her skirt was stained with mud and dirty.

She doesn't like the rain, and she doesn't like getting her skirts dirty.

She was changing her dress when Louis came upstairs.

He waved his hand and signaled the two maids to go out.

"I shouldn't have promised you to come here." She said angrily, "Look, the skirt is dirty."

Louis didn't take it seriously, "I'll ask the tailor to make you a dozen new dresses when I go back to the palace. If it's not enough, I'll make ten dozen."

"Are you trying to make me have no place to sleep? My room is only that big, and there's no room for so many skirts."

"You can move upstairs to me, and I'll give you a few more rooms where you can put new skirts."

She avoided answering, "I didn't expect Versailles to be like this."

"what you thought it was supposed to look like"

"At least not much worse than the Louvre."

"I'm poor now, and I don't have the money to build it properly." He dragged Abigail to the window, "Look, isn't it beautiful here?"

As far as the eye can see, there is a large forest and hills, lush and green, the scenery in the rain is refreshing, the rustling sound of the rain, the cold wind blowing from the window, with a smell of mud.

The bluffing shouts of young men were faintly heard.

The attendants came to the suburbs excitedly, but they were trapped by the heavy rain and were extremely bored.

Louis was quite impatient. He was excited to take her out to play, but he was still trapped in the room.

"I wanted to take you out hunting, or teach you how to ride a horse. It's not very free in the Louvre."

It is a world anecdote that the king still feels "not free"

"You are the supreme king, you can do whatever you want."

He stared at her deeply, "You are so boring"

"Otherwise, you either send someone to assassinate the bishop now, or shut up."

"Assassination..." He grabbed her arms fiercely, "Who told you to say such things to me was it Orleans or Condé?"

"What are you thinking, of course the Bishop sent me here."

Louis seemed taken aback, and looked at her vacillatingly, as if wondering if she was telling the truth.

"Shouldn't you kneel down and beg me not to kill you at this time?"

"You're holding me, I can't kneel down."

He snorted coldly, "Mazarin would not be so stupid as to find a beautiful girl to persuade me to assassinate him. He is not stupid, and neither am I."

"You let go, it hurts."

He hesitated for a moment, but let go.

Abigail frowned and turned away from the window.

"Aren't you cold? I'm cold." She found a blanket and draped it over her shoulders, and sat on the dressing stool at the end of the bed.

Louis closed the window, sat down at the end of the bed, then grabbed her loose blond hair and pulled her hard, pulling her backwards on the bed.

She cried out in pain.

"What are you shouting for?" he shouted angrily, "You are so brave! You are not afraid of the bishop."

"I am a child of God, why should I be afraid of him?" She pulled her hair back with all her strength, "You are so stupid, you are afraid of him, and dare not confront him"

He was furious, "Shut up, I'm the king, I'm the country, I'm France"

"You're just a poor wretch who thinks he's a king"

"You fart take back your ignorant words"

"You told me to take it back, so I took it back? I don't want to save face? You are angry at me because I exposed your cowardly true face."

"You are just an earl's daughter. How dare you slander your king. I should really give you a good whip. I have to teach you a lesson and let you know how to respect the king."

"You dare not listen to the truth, you are not a good king."

"You don't need to tell me that you'd better be obedient and don't talk nonsense, otherwise, you will die."

"I'm not talking nonsense, that's all I'm telling you. Louie, Louie"

Philip opened the door and came in, surprised to see two people wrestling on the bed, "Oh my God, what happened here?"

The author has something to say and has a hunch that some people may think that the heroine is talking nonsense, so don't rush to say "unreasonable" "author's nonsense" and clear mines casually before watching the whole plot.It is not advisable to take meaning out of context. If you don’t read a certain part of the plot, you’d better keep calm and quit.A harmonious society is built by you and me.

There are many other well-known gemstones that once belonged to the French royal family. The crown used for the coronation of Louis XV was the first time that the European royal family used a large number of precious stones to decorate the crown. The traditional crown before the crown is like King Arthur starring Charlie Hunnam Inside, it is an iron circle, inlaid with 16 emeralds, 16 sapphires, 16 rubies, 16 topaz, 230 pearls, and 161 diamonds, including "Saint West" and "Regent Diamond".

The royal family is really not short of money, there are a lot of gems alone.Although Henrietta and his mother were considered exiled royal family, they took a large amount of royal jewels with them, so they were not short of money.In the same way, referring to Nasan's exile in England, Queen Eugenie also took away a large number of royal jewels.
