Your Mightiness

The bloody case triggered by a love letter is still ongoing.

His Excellency August, who is busy with the great cause of improving nougat, still does not forget to gossip. After many inquiries, tactful inquiries, and even selling his soul, he finally "bears the humiliation" from the mouth of the big devil Raphael. Learned the full picture of the whole incident.

Raphael hugged August, rubbed and rubbed, touched and touched, and didn't think that this kind of physical contact, which was good for physical and mental health and promoted emotional development, should be called "sell your soul at all costs."

Rafael: Do you dare to say that you are not happy? !

August: Being kneaded back and forth like a pillow, what's so cool about the pillow itself? !

Raphael just showed a dreamy smile in the sun, and August surrendered.Well, it's really cool to do something shameless with such a beauty.In two lifetimes, Auguste had encountered such a materialized ideal type as Raphael.

"Come and listen to Dad tell you a story." Raphael said earnestly.

Well, the ideal type actually has small flaws, at least in August's imagination, his lover is not as good as Raphael... He can't understand him and can't beat him. QAQPrincess Anne came to Hampton Court Palace because she made a huge embarrassment at the tea party earlier in the day, and the reason for her embarrassment was as simple as it was complicated.

The simple statement is that she mistakenly believed that the love letter written to the second queen was addressed to her, and Princess Anne unfortunately had the same name as the second queen Anne Boleyn.The princess triumphantly announced the letter to the public, but it was immediately recognized that it was addressed to the second queen.The word embarrassment is not enough to describe the atmosphere of the scene after this revelation was confirmed.The letter was sent by the king, and Princess Anne felt that she had been humiliated, so she naturally wanted to blame the king.

It's a complicated statement, so there is something to say.

Richard II's fiancée, Princess Anne, was born in a small principality called Cleves between France and the Netherlands.The princess is a world-famous "beauty in painting".Throughout the four wives of Richard II, the portrait of Princess Anne is undoubtedly the most beautiful among them.However, what makes Princess Anne so amazing is not her own hardware configuration, but the artist's uncanny software skills.

In modern understanding, it is defrauded by multiple PS.

Richard II is a scumbag worthy of his personality. When he saw the portrait, he wanted to marry the princess so desperately. When he saw the real person in reality, he wanted to regret the marriage.He even called his fiancée "Crivise's nightmare" unkindly.

However, the news of the marriage has already been released, and the nobles have been invited to London. It can be said that the whole of Europe is paying attention to this wedding... Well, these are all nonsense. A king who cares about other people's feelings.The reason why he didn't dare to repent of the marriage was because Cleves was a Protestant principality, one of the few European countries under the rule of the Holy See who was as rebellious as England's allies, as an aspiring king, Richard II The few remaining minds that were not dazzled by the sperm seldom became rational for a while.

Princess Anne was immature and did not understand politics. She mistakenly regarded a man's unwillingness to touch her as a gentleman and respect. She began to take this political marriage seriously and wanted to treat it as a relationship.

But Princess Anne's youthfulness does not mean that other ladies who are experienced in love can't see the tricks.Especially those mistresses who want to turn into queens.The most famous label of the English aristocracy, in addition to conservatism and base corruption, is also a poisonous tongue.Whoever touches it will know where it hurts, as can be seen from the works of the famous British poet Oscar Wilde.

In the strong impact of such gossip, Princess Anne, who was dazzled by love, urgently needed something or a thing to prove that the king loved her.

Thus, there was this clearly written love letter "To Anne".

There is a passage in the love letter that reads:

"Seeing my love's absence, I must at least send her some meat, in my name, a stag for Richard, which promises that, if circumstances permit, you must share with me...

...There is nothing more to give you now, my dear Anne, but I would like to wish that we have a good night together.Your R handwriting. "

Symbolizing high-grade red meat, it has always had a metaphor of "unconquerable love" in England.

Richard II liked deer hunting very much. He could express his bravery and love, and teasingly hinted at the urgency of some old drivers for wanting to drive. It couldn't be better in the world.

But the great prerequisite is that the love letter written to the second term cannot be seen by the fourth term, and the fourth term thinks that the letter is written to her.

Princess Anne was slapped in the face for pretending to be coercive, so she was naturally unwilling to let it go. She needed to recover the humiliation she had suffered from the king.And then there's the restless days at Hampton Court Palace.

Obviously, this is a set.

But whether it is aimed at Princess Anne, to make her look ugly; or aimed at Richard II, there will be a deeper conspiracy in the future... This is temporarily unknown.

I can only know that the whole of England is boiling because of this drama, and the question of who the king's true love is has become an indispensable gossip nowadays.

"Who do you think is behind the scenes?" August is also a member of the gossip army.

Raphael returned a neutral look: "Why should I bother to guess this kind of boring jealousy? Do I look idle?"

Raphael is not only busy, he is almost crazy busy, and Hampton Palace is so far away from the office, every day he goes back at night at night.

August: ... Blame me? !

Having said that, Raphael still satisfied August's desire to gossip, and discussed with him a little bit about what kind of struggle was hidden in this matter.

August: "The simplest one, whoever makes a profit is the most suspicious."

"You even doubt the Queen Mother?" Raphael gave August an admiring look of "I respect you for being a man".

The current result is this: Princess Anne finally woke up from her self-deceiving fantasies and realized that the king did not love her at all; Miss Mary discovered that her father's infidelity in marriage was far earlier than she thought; the queen mother followed suit , refusing to attend a wedding she did not want to attend.

In other words, the beneficiary is Queen Isabella, who can finally avoid attending another troublesome wedding of her son. She has tried to get rid of such embarrassment twice before but failed.

"No, no, no!" August immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, "How about starting with the motive? Do you think there is someone who doesn't want the king to get married, and that's why this trouble happened?"

Raphael said earnestly: "Who do you think would want Richard to marry this?"

First of all, the Holy See definitely doesn't want to. They are working hard to nip this heresy of Protestantism in the bud. In any case, they don't want to see Protestant countries form alliances and grow bigger; secondly, none of the three sons and daughters of Richard II They don't want to have a stepmother, or more brothers and sisters; then, the mistresses of the king want to be righted themselves, and don't want to see other coquettish sluts marry the king; finally, the aristocracy and even the whole country feel that the king is a bit too romantic , too indiscreet.

Not even the king himself wanted to marry Princess Anne.

This is a completely unhappy wedding, except for Princess Anne, but now it seems that Princess Anne will probably not continue to be stupid.

August re-lighted a light bulb above his head: "Oh, I thought about it, the letter is the breakthrough. Who owned the letter before, and who handed the letter to Princess Anne, misleading or forcing her I haven't read it much yet, but I read it at the tea party."

"The reason why the second queen was beheaded was that she had committed adultery with her younger brother and planned to assassinate the king. Richard was heartbroken, although others said that Richard concocted all this, just to marry the third queen smoothly , but I don’t think it’s possible. Richard has been sincere to the second queen and has been persistent for many years. He has chosen the direction of his mistress so far, and he is more or less similar to Anne, whether it is demeanor or So, even though Richard didn't want to see anything about the second queen, he didn't destroy it, and it was all well preserved and handed over to Miss Elizabeth."

"Liz is only seven years old, and she has such a personality, it can't be her." August immediately denied, "The people around her must have been bribed."

Raphael followed August's words: "It's meaningless to find out this kind of small characters. They can't know anything at all, or they have been silenced."

"Then who gave the letter to Princess Anne?"

"Princess Anne is about to become the queen, and the queen's maids have already arrived ahead of time to take care of her daily life. Among these maids, the most beloved by Princess Anne is Catherine Howard. She is the cousin of the second queen. ..."

"!!!" August looked at Raphael excitedly: "I think we have solved the case!"

"...but Miss Catherine doesn't like Richard at all." Raphael finished speaking as if panting.He had to pour cold water on August. If the matter was so simple, it would not be August's turn to find out, "Compared to the suspicious debauchery charges of the second queen, Miss Catherine is more worthy of her name. In her short In the Mood for Love, she has a love history no less than that of Richard, and she even had a little-known brief marriage history."

August didn't ask why Raphael was able to know that marriage history. He always felt that as long as Raphael thought about it, there was nothing in this world that Raphael didn't know.

Discussions come and go, but the truth of the gossip is still standing still.Just like Raphael's precise evaluation at the beginning of the topic - other than wasting time, there is no point in discussing this matter.

Facing failure, August finally revealed the real reason for his concern: "If only I could not get married."

"Why?" Raphael asked puzzled, "You sympathize with Princess Anne? With all due respect, although Richard is a scumbag, Princess Anne is no better. Wilhelm II was no different."

"I know, I just think that since everyone is unhappy, they are destined not to be happy, why must this marriage be made?"

"Well, for the friendship of the Protestant Principality?"

"But don't you think it's strange?" August looked into Raphael's eyes and said, "The alliance between two countries is such a big thing, but I naively think that it can be achieved only by sacrificing the happiness of a girl."

If Richard II could be chained to a marriage, he wouldn't be the proverbial wife-killer.

"Let me think about it." Raphael said.

This consideration, then, considers that Christmas is also August's birthday.

Facing what was called "an absolutely indispensable dessert for all Christmas banquets" on the breakfast table, August's heart almost collapsed.He knew that British cuisine had a reputation for dark cuisine in modern times, but he didn't expect it to be even more terrifying in the Middle Ages.

This medieval custom is called "steamed pudding". The name sounds unpretentious, but the content is rich and colorful.

The main body is pudding, but the inside is bulging with fruits and nuts, and bordered with bread crumbs. When it is pushed up, the attendant completes the last step of this "food", sprinkles brandy, and ignites the pudding .

Yes, ignite.

With all his life's courage, August took a bite of this steaming pudding that was bursting with flames, and then his mouth was on fire and was hot.

Your dessert is spicy (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻ angry!

The author has something to say: Note: The love letter is true, it was written by Henry VIII to the second queen in history.Being a king is also miserable, and even the love letter has no right to privacy, which has been studied over and over again by later generations of scholars.
