Versailles Wild Rose

Abigail secretly laughed at the beautiful young man who had to wear a women's skirt due to the king's brother's lust, but something was wrong all over his body, as if he wanted to run away at any time.

She didn't get it wrong either. Philip was definitely not talking about him and the Knight of Lorraine, but about him and her.

Philip is not tall, just half a head taller than her. If you ignore the flat chest, he is indeed a little beauty. He walked arm in arm with him all the way in the Louvre, and he got a lot of amazing eyes along the way, as if he was guessing Which Miss is this.

People think "she" is very familiar, but they can't remember where they have seen it for a while.

However, soon someone saw the flaw. Although His Royal Highness is as beautiful as a flower, his walking posture is still masculine, with relatively large strides, and carefree.Of course, it's fine when you're a man, but if you're a woman, this gait is too obvious, and it's not in the same rhythm as Abigail.

"Look, they were holding back their surprise, but they just didn't dare to say it." Philip whispered in her ear with some contempt.

"Don't worry about them, you are His Highness, you can wear whatever you want, as long as His Majesty and the Queen Mother don't say anything, who would dare to say anything about you?"

Philip raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Yes, that's what it means."

At this time, Louis XIV went out to ride a horse as usual.

Seeing the younger brother in women's clothing, he didn't say anything, just said, "I want to go out for a run, you can't go with me if you dress like this."

He pretended to ask again, "Miss de Barberion, can you ride a horse?"

"No." She said regretfully.

"Brother Wang, go to the stables to pick a docile mare and give it to Miss de Barberion." He didn't say any more, and quickly galloped away with his attendants.

One of the attendants did not catch up with the king immediately, but got off his horse, frowned and looked at the Lorraine knight, and said dissatisfiedly, "You don't look like a knight."

The Lorraine knight curled his lips, bowed slightly bluntly, and did not defend himself angrily.

The attendant looked at Philip again, with disapproval on his face, but he couldn't say anything about the younger brother, so he could only continue to blame his younger brother, "You are His Highness's attendant, you shouldn't be so nonsense."

Philip sneered, "I am the king's younger brother, and if the king didn't say anything about me, why do you accuse me?"

The attendant bowed calmly, "I'm not blaming you, I'm teaching my brother a lesson."

Immediately he got on his horse, whipped the horse, and left quickly.

The Lorraine knight muttered dissatisfiedly, "Whoever wants him to talk too much, I can wear whatever I want."

Another Disobedient Brother The attendant was another young Lorraine at the palace, brother of the Knight of Lorraine, Louis de Lorraine.It seems that the problem of the younger brothers is that they are a little afraid of the elder brother, but they don't obey the restraint of the elder brother.

Louis de Lorraine is one year younger than Philip, and he will only be 1 at the end of the year, but he looks as old as 17.

Philip said angrily, "I must have a good talk with Brother Wang about this guy."

"He owes a whip," the Lorraine knight was also annoyed.

"Don't pay attention to him. He is just a servant. His Majesty is your elder brother. No one dares to speak of you if your Majesty does not speak of you. If you hadn't brought the knight out today, he wouldn't even have the chance to teach his younger brother a lesson. He wouldn't It may be said that I lead you badly. Come on, you said to take me to the puppet show in the morning, let's go to the puppet show."

"He doesn't dare to say anything about you, you are mother's maid, if he dares to say a word, you can scold him, scold him severely," he said aggrievedly, "I am so pitiful, I am the most pitiful prince in the world. "

Abigail just wants to roll her eyes what's up with these brothers

"It's because of the king." She smiled slightly, "You know why. Your Majesty is still young. In a few years, no one will dare to say anything about you, even if it's in the name of teaching his own brother a lesson. No, I dare not. Your Highness is His Majesty’s younger brother, if anyone dares to make you unhappy, you should teach him a lesson.”

This is because Bishop Mazarin is in control of the government. Some powerful nobles don’t think highly of the king’s brothers. Just less than two months ago, Louis suffered a serious illness in Calais and had a high fever for several days. When the bishop went down, those in power thought that the king would not be able to survive, and some people who were too clever quickly turned their heads and flattered Philip, trying to curry favor with the next king.

Fortunately, after a few days, Louis' fever gradually subsided, calming down those restless guys.

The palace kept secret about this experience. Abigail came to the Louvre after the royal family returned to Paris. They didn’t know much about it. They only knew that Louis had a serious illness and almost all the attendants around Philip had changed. The Knight of Lorraine came to Philip's side only after the attendant exchanged blood. He was a member of the Royal Guard before.

Needless to say, Abigail knew what Louis would do to Philip.Louis came to the throne at the age of 5 and has been king for 15 years. The king's self-esteem does not allow anyone to covet his crown, even his own brother.But he was not married yet and had no legal heir, so it was impossible to kill Philip. He still had an uncle who was eyeing the crown. Gaston, the Duke of Orleans, was the second heir.So he should have placed Philip under house arrest.

So the compensatory psychology may be that he pretended not to see Philip's current nonsense, and his tolerance was extremely high.

Philip is also very subtle. His majestic appearance in women's clothing may not be telling Brother Wang that I can't be a threat to your throne.Homosexuality is still extremely discriminated against in this era, that is, Philip is the younger brother, so he can wear women's clothing so arrogantly without worrying about being beaten to death.

Palace secrets, it is said that the late King Louis XIII also had homosexual tendencies.

However, no matter where it is, whether it is in a palace or a monastery, regardless of gender, the lower body is always the most interesting thing. There are too many rumors, just feel free to doubt it, don't take it seriously.

The puppet show was very interesting. It told a popular story about an affair between a knight and a lady. It is not suitable for children. The car was driven very wildly.

It's very vulgar, very bloody, the plot is quite rich, the puppet show is full of talent, dubbing and singing, the whole story took almost an hour to finish.

After the puppet's curtain call, the audience gave rewards one after another, and the offer was generous, at least 1 franc.

Abigail also gave 1 franc.Philip was very generous and gave 1 crown.The Knight of Lorraine also gave 1 franc.

"Can I go back and change my clothes?" Knight Lorraine asked impatiently.

"No, you are so beautiful, everyone should see it."

The Lorraine knight rolled his eyes, "No. If Mancini sees it, he will laugh at me as a girl again."

"You are afraid of him"

"I'm not afraid of him, I'm afraid of his uncle."

Abigail interrupted them. "I'm thirsty. Let's go get a drink."

Bishop Mazarin has a lot of eyeliners in the palace, and King Louis can't say whatever he wants, let alone the Knight of Lorraine.

Today is the first day of the King's birthday celebrations which will last for 5 days.

Philip had had enough of cross-dressing games, and before Louis returned to the palace, he took away the Knight of Lorraine and changed back to men's clothes.

The two handsome young men don't violate harmony at all in the men's clothes of this era. The boys are like daffodils, and they are youthful and beautiful.They all have the extremely fair complexion unique to high-ranking nobles, and the entire court regards white as beauty from top to bottom, regardless of gender.

A snow-white silk shirt, a sleeveless blouse embroidered with gold and silver thread, a more gorgeous long-sleeved coat, a white lace scarf, tied with a delicate golden ribbon bow, and incense, the whole person is fragrant.

Philip's hair was almost black, and the Chevalier's was a light golden brown.

Both of them have big wavy long curly hair, shoulder length.

When the Knight of Lorraine is not making trouble, he is really a good-looking boy.

"Miss de Barberion," Philip walked up to her calmly, "please let me take you to the stables, where you can choose a good horse yourself."

"I don't know how to pick horses."

"Don't worry, the knight will help you."

"Don't I need to change clothes?"

"Need not."

"Your Majesty likes you very much, but you have to be careful, the palace is full of women who want to change seats with you." The Lorraine knight smiled mockingly, "You are much more interesting than those women, at least, you watch puppets I don’t pretend to be shy when I play.”

Isn't it that children should not be described, what's so rare

The author has something to say whether Louis XIV loves to take a bath or not

The answer is that even if it is not as good as modern people bathe every day, there must be a lot of bathing times. It is certain that members of the royal family keep their bodies clean.It is said that people did not bathe because of the Black Death in the Middle Ages. This is compared to the fact that most rural people bathed in natural water sources at that time, because the hot and warm water needs to be heated, and at least one person must be able to sit in a wooden bathtub or wooden bathtub. , Quite a few poor people don't have the conditions to take a warm bath at all, so if it's not summer, they have the condition to take a bath every day.

But the nobles are not short of money, they are not short of firewood, they need to boil water for bathing, just order them.

There is a bathing scene in the Versailles episode, which should basically conform to the real situation at the time.Ordinary people use wooden bathtubs, while rich people use natural stone.

Louis XIV had at least three bathrooms in the Palace of Versailles, including a sunken octagonal marble bathtub. The size of the bathtub is not large, but the size of the bathroom room is not small.He must have had his own bathroom in the Louvre, too.

At that time, the perfume industry was not yet developed, and the formula was very simple, probably like toilet water.

It’s not a good perfume, but there should be incense. At that time, the route from Europe to the East had already been opened. Spices from Southeast Asia, India and silk from China were bulk products exported to Europe, and they were still very expensive.

Louis XIV and Mrs. Montespan once had a quarrel in the carriage. Louis said that your perfume gave me a headache. On the one hand, of course, the quarrel itself was enough to cause headaches. On the other hand, the perfume at that time was more pungent. Distinguish between mid-tone and post-tone.

Louis XIV didn't take a bath every day in winter, but he would wipe his body with a cloth soaked in alcohol. He was also very concerned about body cleanliness. In the 1718th and 70th centuries, he could live to be more than [-] years old, and his personal hygiene must have been a problem.

Next time we'll talk about how much Louis XIV loved gems. ,,
