Versailles Wild Rose

Louvre hey!In future generations, you still have to pay to enter the royal palace!Now not only can you visit for free, but you can also live in it. Think about it, it is a wonderful thing!

Although the quality of life in the 17th century was far inferior to that of the 21st century, life in the palace was not that bad.Probably the biggest problem for her was not the lack of modern toilet facilities, but - no fresh fruit!There are not many varieties of fruits produced locally in France. If you want to eat fresh fruits, you can only eat them in the season when the fruits are on the market. If you want to eat more varieties, you have to transport them from Italy or Spain. Foreign fruits are hard to come by. When the carts of fruits are transported to Paris, they can only pick out baskets that are intact, so they have to be specially offered to His Majesty the King and Queen Mother.

Fortunately, as the current maid who the Queen Mother likes very much, she can still get some points every time, which is enough to satisfy her greed.

After lunch, her bedroom pillow was filled with small handfuls of blackened raspberries on a silk handkerchief.

Silk comes from the Far East and is very expensive. An embroidered silk handkerchief can be worth half a florin.Silk is difficult to maintain, it will become brittle after washing several times, and it is easy to be eaten by moths if it is not stored properly. A lot of silk fabrics are used in the long skirts of ladies and ladies, and silk cannot be used by ordinary people.Before at the Barberion Manor, she only had a few silk long skirts, silk petticoats and silk handkerchiefs, which were extremely shabby.

In the Louvre, silk can be seen everywhere. The Queen Mother gave her dozens of silk handkerchiefs with a wave, and half of the new skirts made for her were made of silk.

The Louvre never locks the door, so in theory anyone can enter her bedroom.The maids could come into her room, of course, but the maid didn't know that she liked to eat raspberries.

Raspberry is not considered a precious fruit, it can be said that it is very common, and it is available in the fields. Louis may only have eaten it when he was a child and fled.

She picked up a raspberry and put it in her mouth: sweet and sour, delicious.

Louis the guy!

He actually doesn't know what "pursuit" is, and he doesn't know what "dating" is. His usual method is to smash jewelry and gold coins. There will be countless women who will take the initiative to lie down.

The secret is that you can't obey him too easily.

The king's mentality is: I own the world.

"Under the whole world, is it the king who leads the land and the shore of the land is the king's subject", the king's request will not be rejected, which has developed his temperament of self-importance, and does not accept rejection; but looking in another direction, her Rejection will make him "conquer".

This is a process of "confrontation". Whoever conquers whom does not depend on his will.

Everyone in the Louvre is preparing for the upcoming birthday party, and the court tailor is so busy.There are not only two court tailors, there are many, they can be regarded as contractors, King Louis XIV and his younger brother Philip, Duke of Anjou use a group of tailors, and the Queen Mother uses another group of tailors.

Anna of Austria was fond of adorning her young maids, presumably because she had no daughters.It is said that the younger brother Philip was raised as a girl since he was a child, and the Queen Mother dressed the youngest boy in a girl's beautiful dress and praised him all day long for his beauty.

Philip went to see his brother every day, and Abigail met him, indeed, Philip was a handsome boy.

Men in this day and age had long hair, at least shoulder length, Louis' hair was a darker golden brown, Philip's was very dark, almost black.Philip did not appear in the movie. This is probably an automatically completed character in the movie world. The template probably applies to the young version of the savior who will fight the "Eye of the Sky" in the future. Compared with Leonardo, he is more handsome.

Louis is already a man, Philippe is a teenager at 18.

In the living room of the Queen Mother, there is a large full-length mirror as tall as a person. There is a wooden platform in front of the mirror. Abigail is standing on the wooden platform, trying on clothes.

An apprentice tailor knelt on the floor to straighten her skirt, and another apprentice made lace ruffles at the back of her waist.

"Don't move around, or you will get stuck by a sewing needle." Mrs. de Montière was beside her, shaking her round fan leisurely.

Austrian Anna smiled and nodded, "Yes, don't be rash like last time."

Abigail blushed a little: Hey!It's not that she was inexperienced last time.To put it bluntly, during the two weeks or so since she came to the Louvre, what she did most was to stand here and let the tailor measure and try on clothes for her, as if she had been making new dresses all along.In fact, standing there still is also very tiring. She especially admires these noble ladies and young ladies who have practiced the ability to stand quietly without moving. Aren't they tired?

There is also the "artifact" of corsets. No matter how slender your figure is, you have to be thinner to look good. Slim waist, big buttocks and beautiful breasts are all women must "pursue". Men don't know about corsets. What does it feel like to have clothes pressing on your ribs?

But there is no way, if she wants to be a "qualified" bride-to-be, she has to build herself according to the general appearance of this era.

Putting on a corset that cinches your waist and accentuates your bust, then a skirt and a tailor who sews ruffles to fit your figure means you can't actually eat too much.

"I can't even breathe." She coquettishly said to Austrian Anna: "My mother said that the corset should not be too tight, otherwise it will compress the chest, and then my breasts will not grow."

Anna of Austria couldn't help laughing, "Silly boy, your mother loves you, but you have to know that you have a slender waist so that your breasts can stand out." The Queen Mother came over, pinched her waist with both hands, and then Hold her chest.

"This is your weapon, my child," Austrian Anna raised her hand and lifted her chin, "and your face, a woman is the most beautiful weapon in the world, you have to learn to use your natural condition .”

She looked at her face in the mirror: Indeed, this is a face that can definitely be called "extraordinarily beautiful". The figure is the standard thin body of a girl. The breasts are indeed not too big, but they can't be considered small. They are of average level. Bar.According to objective analysis, she is a beautiful girl, but what is worse is that she is also a poor girl. Earl Barberion can't give her much dowry, so she has to go to the Louvre to be gilded.

Footsteps sounded from far to near outside the door, and soon someone came in, "Mother."

Madame de Montière hurriedly stood up and saluted, "ur."

Abigail was about to turn around and come down when she might as well have been pricked by a sewing needle again.

"Oh!" she exclaimed.

Philip laughed, "Abby, are you in pain?"

The apprentice tailor lowered his head in panic, "Please forgive me, miss."

Philip hit the apprentice tailor on the head with the rose in his hand, "What a fool! Will you stick a sewing needle on me later?"

The tailor apprentice bent down even more panicked, "The villain dare not."

"Your Highness, don't waste such a beautiful rose."

"For you." He handed the rose to her casually.

"Are you finished?" Abigail took the rose and asked the tailor casually.

"A little more, miss."

"Hurry up then."

Philip said too, "Yes, come on."

"Do you want to make new clothes here?" asked Anna of Austria.

"Yes, mother, the tailors at Brother Wang's side are busy making new clothes for him. He has so many demands, and the tailors are busy with him all day long. No one can take the time to measure my clothes." He acted like a baby to his mother in dissatisfaction. .

Austrian Anna rubbed her forehead, "Okay, let your servant bring over the clothes."

"I thought you were overdue for a new dress," said Abigail.The royal family's "economic poverty" and her "poverty" are two different concepts. The royal family's annual expenditure is measured in "millions", and if she can spend 1 florins a year, it is considered extravagant.

"Those are not good-looking, Louis' new clothes are too gorgeous, I can't be much worse than him."

Well, that makes sense!
