I Am Louis XIV

After this little disturbance, they went to see part of the swamp that had been drained in the warm sunset. It is said that the refugees found a lot of fish in it. Although these fish belonged to the king, the king only asked Take the fish that is more than one cubit away, so now people in Versailles have learned to wrap small fish with flour and onions and bake them. This is the dinner of the king and Mary today. With the guidance of the king, this fish dish is of course It couldn't be any worse, and the king's chef had enough fat to fry the small fish through first.

They slept in adjacent rooms that night, separated only by a door—for a moment, the king was shaken, after all, he was twenty years old, but he still didn't let Bontang leave, and Bontang fell asleep. Waiting for the king's orders at one side of the room at any time - in the middle of the night, he heard the sound of rustling, sweeping the floor like a feather, and then the door was scratched lightly, and the king looked at Bang Don, the servant who was always vigilant and would jump up when there was any movement (except for occasional errands and did not return), bent his body and turned his face to the wall, motionless. Louis was amused and walked down with bare feet. He got off the bed and leaned against the small door.

He didn't speak, his ears were pressed against the door panel, he heard a tense breathing, and then Louis felt something poking his chest, he lowered his head, and by the bright moonlight, he saw a tree in this world The cutest little finger, just coming out of the keyhole, was twirling on his linen underwear, and after he stepped back a little, it twirled like a puppy who can't find a master. Turned around, and ticked down again. Louis stretched out his little finger uncontrollably, touched it, and it immediately hooked the king's finger tightly, or the king was also trying to hook it, because the little finger exposed after passing through the keyhole was also Only a short section.

The opposite party still didn’t speak, but it was more touching than making a sound. Louis put his hand on the door latch. This door was originally set up for husband and wife. The husband is here, and the wife is in the next room. If they want to talk about love, they should Open the door and sleep together—and if the king wants to see Mary, he can just open the door and walk in, to the depths of the rosebush, to enjoy the velvet of the petals and the rich fragrance.

He leaned against the cold door tightly so that it could take away the scorching body temperature. He was so hard that he even felt pain until he was hurt by the relief on it. The king touched the pattern on it subconsciously, as if it was fate As a result, the scene he saw during the day came into his mind—it was the story of Helios, the sun god, and Clytie, the water nymph. Clytie and Helios were once lovers, But because Helios moved on, Clytie managed to kill his new lover with a knife, and the sun god Helios never saw her again, but Clytie's love did not die. She turned into a sunflower, raised her head to follow the sun every day, and lowered her heavy head every night-this exquisite relief depicts this story, which awakened the king's heart suddenly, just because he liked Mary , and even loved her, so he couldn’t let his emotions go… He leaned down, kissed that little finger, and pushed it back.

Mary on the opposite side didn't know what to do, but the king couldn't sleep well that night. When they returned to Paris the next day, Mary was immediately summoned by the queen mother. The queen mother was still worried about that matter. Compared with the king, she didn't care much. Mary's reputation-- yes, in this day and age, a husband who gets angry because his wife has a lover will be laughed at, because at this time, marriages, especially for the nobles, are mostly for titles, dowry and territories, or for various Overt or covert transactions, a husband is angry with his wife for this reason, either because he lacks charm, or money, and can only seek love in a legal partner, or because he is really in love with his wife, The strange thing is that the latter kind of behavior is not only not praised, but also scorned, because only inferior people would do it-but relatively, a girl should keep her innocence before marriage, and after marriage, if she wants to find love You have to wait until you and your husband give birth to the eldest son, otherwise it will be regarded as dereliction of duty.

Therefore, there are two completely different views on marriage and chastity. In the camp of Prince Condé, the Duke of Longueville was secretly ridiculed by many people because he admitted that he knew he was not his eldest son, while the Duke of Longueville The lady also made the queen mother quite critical, but compared with the behavior of the Duke of Mortmar—marrying a wife purely for love, it was another joke that was close to a scandal, and it is no wonder that he immediately devoted himself to the king. Otherwise, he, his wife and stepdaughter may never have the chance to enter the court again in this lifetime.

The queen mother was somewhat dissatisfied with Mary. Of course, because illegitimate children have no right to inherit the throne under the law of succession, she didn't mind that Mary had close contacts with the king, and she didn't care about giving her the title of "Madam of the Royal Family". As for Marie's subsequent marriage, she was always greedy for profit, and a guy who loves power is willing to accept such a wife—the king noticed it this time. By my side, and interested in seeking Mary's advice on a few minor issues.

Later, when Mary hurried in through the door, the king thought there were a few priests from the Inquisition chasing after the little witch, but no, as soon as Mary stood in front of him, she nervously and quickly opened a box , facing the sun, the king's eyes were suddenly blinded by a bright light, and he turned his head quickly.

"Someone gave me a set of diamond jewelry!" Mary gasped, "Your Majesty, it's real diamonds!"

Louis smiled helplessly: "Is there anything strange?"

"Why did he send me this?" Mary yelled, "Merlin, he's after me!"

"Of course not." Louis wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, oh, that was so bright: "He has a request for you."

"I do not understand."

"There's nothing you can't understand, Mary." Louis said gently, "They all know now that you are someone I value, so they're going to bribe you."

"Bribe me?"

"They want you to speak up for them," Louie said, "so take it, it's fine."

He closed the box and put it in Mary's hand: "You can recommend others to me, Mary, this is the right I give you."
