[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

"I failed, I actually failed." Anne Boleyn, who learned that she had given birth to a daughter, lay limp on the big bed in the master bedroom of the Presence Palace, her hair was disheveled like a lunatic: "Henry will definitely do this. Kill me, maybe he is now drafting my abolishment edict, and then welcome that bitch Elizabeth Bronte back to the palace."

It was not only Anne Boleyn who was disappointed, but also the long-awaited Thomas Boleyn and the Duke of Norfolk.As early as when the astrologer confirmed that Anne Boleyn was pregnant with a boy, they planned to let the future Duke of York marry Antoinette de Lorraine of the Lorraine family as his wife, so as to gain the support of the largest family in France. Thus, William Tudor, who had a Spanish background, was beheaded.

But now, all the plots are wiped out with the birth of Princess Elizabeth.

Henry VIII was not interested in having a second legitimate daughter. He had already passed the joyful age of being a father, so no one in the whole country was happy for the birth of Princess Elizabeth. Even after Princess Elizabeth's baptism, some grandparents The nobles didn't know that Queen Anne had given birth, because Henry VIII didn't inform them at all.

"I didn't expect my father to be so disappointed." Although Princess Mary was happy that Anne Boleyn did not give birth to a prince, she couldn't help feeling a little bit when she thought that her newborn little sister was so neglected. I couldn't bear it, and at the same time felt chilling and fearful for Henry VIII's ruthlessness.

If Queen Catherine gave birth to a daughter in 1526, then their mother and daughter's fate would definitely not be better than that of Anne Boleyn now.

The object of Henry VIII's tolerance has always been his son.

As with William Tudor, so with Henry Fitzroy.

"Is Princess Elizabeth healthy?" William Tudor, who had just arrived at Whitehall Palace and received the news, asked, "Is Queen Anne in good condition? Has His Majesty the King arranged for Princess Elizabeth's baptism and godparents?"

"His Majesty the King asked Queen Anne to take Princess Elizabeth to the Whitehall Palace for baptism, because he did not want to spend too much on the birth of a daughter." The messenger was a little out of breath by the high-pressure atmosphere in the palace, even in front of the Prince of Wales I can't even control my tongue.

"Ms. Bryan, please pour some honey water for this gentleman." William Tudor asked his servant to find a chair for the messenger, who gratefully took the wine glass and continued after filling half a glass of honey water : "His Majesty did not arrange for Princess Elizabeth's godparents, but the Duke of Norfolk arranged for Thomas Cranmer, the Marquess of Exeter, the Duchess of Norfolk, and the Duchess of Dorset to act as godparents for the little princess. "

"Isn't he himself Godfather to Princess Elizabeth?"

"Maybe he is more happy to be the godfather of the Duke of York." Princess Mary sarcastically said: "He will not like poor Elizabeth, he will only resent her for the failure of his ambition."

After all, Princess Mary took off the cross around her neck, and handed five shilling coins to the messenger: "Dear sir, please give my gift to Princess Elizabeth. No matter how many unpleasant things happened between me and Queen Anne, , as the king's eldest daughter and her eldest sister, I welcome Princess Elizabeth to the family in the name of God and send my sincerest blessings on her birth."

"Thank you for your reward, my respected princess." The messenger knew that the Welsh siblings had inherited Queen Catherine's tolerance and generosity, so everyone in the palace fought for their entourage.

"I also have a gift for Princess Elizabeth." William Tudor asked a skilled craftsman to make a pearl brooch when Anne Boleyn was pregnant: "She can't use expensive jewelry now. When she grows up, I will give her a crown again."

"Your gentleness and kindness really make me sigh." Everyone in the palace knows all the grievances and grievances between Anne Boleyn and Queen Catherine, but in this case, Princess Mary and William Tudor are still willing to accept Anne Boleyn. Boleyn and Princess Elizabeth can be said to have shown kindness to the extreme, and at the same time brought their good reputation to a new height.

Of course, this kindness fell into the eyes of Anne Boleyn, who was depressed after giving birth, and it was a naked mockery of her.

"Those two phony little bastards." Anne Boleyn, who received the gift, threw the cross necklace and pearl brooch onto the peeling wall, and her complexion was much better than that of the wall that had not been repaired for a long time. where to go.

"I know what they are thinking." Anne Boleyn, who had not been in labor for a long time, walked up and down the carpet barefoot, regardless of the maids' obstruction: "They must be laughing at me, they must be laughing at me."

Anne Boleyn was sobbing and muttering to herself that her mother, Elizabeth Boleyn, had to force her back on the bed, hold her by the shoulders, and force her to look directly into her eyes: "Listen Look at Annie, if you don't want to die, stop your crazy and reckless state, and think about what the king will do next."

"Madness can't stop the king's will. You can only avoid a scrap of paper and even a beheading axe if you take out something that makes him face you." Elizabeth Boleyn inherited the coldness of the Howard family, even for herself She will not show mercy to her daughter, which is also an important reason why Thomas Boleyn was able to marry her.

In the eyes of a somewhat tranced Anne Boleyn, her mother became the Duke of Norfolk who pushed her into the king's bed, scrutinizing her value in the scale of power with small eyes.

"This time it's a daughter, next time it's a son." Elizabeth Boleyn knew how terrible it was for Henry VIII to turn his face.

Catherine of Aragon received that kind of treatment, and the end of the Boleyn family will definitely not be better than that of the Spanish princess.

"What you have to do now is to write a letter to thank the Prince of Wales and Princess Mary for their blessings, and then arrange the baptism and follow-up care for Princess Elizabeth. You must not let others see your weakness, or the king's gradual indifference to you." Elizabeth Boleyn asked Anne Boleyn to comb her hair, carefully looked at her little daughter's haggard face, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You must let the king rekindle his passion for you, otherwise God will not give you a Prince of York. "

"But can I really do it?" Anne Boleyn looked at the wrinkles on her face in the mirror, and realized that she was no longer the Norfolk girl who made Henry VIII fall in love with her.

Seven years wasted Henry VIII's affection for her, and at the same time her beauty was wasted.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it. If you don't want to be kicked out of the palace by the king, and then spend the rest of your life in a monastery, try to give birth to a son for me." Elizabeth Boleyn brushed up her little daughter's hair, looking stern Said: "You have proved your fertility, as long as the king wants a son, he has to have intercourse with you."

"Seize every opportunity that the king favors you, as long as you can give birth to a Duke of York, you will have nothing to fear."
