Mary Su Stuart

Mary didn't enjoy it at all.

Bah, who is here to enjoy it? She needs to restrain herself and avoid harming underage teenagers!

However, this, the wedding night, the little boy did not succeed.

——Marie, who is eager to learn, took advantage of François' lack of experience to let him disarm in a hurry and ended the attempt.

Mary secretly rubbed her wrists, so many years of watching small movies are not in vain... She still has this ability!

Afterwards, the wife called the shy and immature maids and washed their hands carefully.

Looking at her little husband who was just out of breath, Mary held back her smile and comforted him, "This is normal."

François was very frustrated, but he couldn't explain why.Finally, with hateful eyes, he forced the attendants five meters away from the marriage bed before he hugged Mary tightly. "Go to sleep."

The big quilt was rolled up, and the two embraced each other.In fact, Francois was so wronged that he wanted to ask for comfort, but also felt very humiliated, and worried that his sister would be disappointed, so he tried his best to be gentle and flattering.Mary was sleepy to death. After confirming that the night was "safe", she really wanted to go to bed early to recover her exhausted physical strength; fall asleep late.

Yes, she had heard François snore softly.

So, Mary thoughtfully turned him into a side-lying position.Well, snoring is a precursor to apnea.For the sake of her and his sleep health, it is better to avoid it as much as possible.

The sleeping crown prince is quite well-behaved, and he is at her mercy.So, Mary stared at his sleeping face, quietly thinking about the future.

It is not a good thing that the princess is "forced" to guard herself like a jade.There was a Louis XVI in later generations who slept with his wife for seven years but failed to have intercourse.Obviously everyone knows that the problem lies with the man; his wife still suffers a lot of grievances and is considered not hard enough (rely).

Therefore, even if she escapes tonight, she may not be able to delay for too long.

The problem is, fourteen or fifteen years old is really too young.Why delay for two or three years?

Fooling her in-laws, fooling the bishop...but before that, how should she communicate with Francois?

Although he didn't have deep expectations for a political marriage, he was a good boy after all, and it was not impossible to consider spending his life together.Before today, an unmarried girl may still need to maintain a certain degree of reserve; after the night, can she try to discuss with him and reach a united front?

What do you say, "Honey, the Lord teaches us proper abstinence"; "Those ancient medical books mention the health of married life, and think it is more appropriate to postpone it until later"?

Simply non-mainstream, weird remarks...

However, considering that he has always obeyed his own words (probably), perhaps, it is worth trying.

But still have to try to avoid people's eyes and ears.Mary didn't want to be branded a "heretic" because of this kind of "nonsense"—although some of her behaviors had been outrageous in the past, few people dared to warn her in view of her noble status.

Mary spent her wedding night in this hopeful and apprehensive mood.

A night without dreams.

Early the next morning, as soon as Mary opened her eyes, she realized that the group of dignitaries who had watched the newlyweds at the bedside last night had come again!

The bed curtain was half open, but she and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were still huddled under the quilt in disheveled clothes.

This palace life without privacy is simply too bad.

Calm down, Mary silently reminded herself, hold it up, be dignified, and pretend not to be embarrassed at all.She had been told that most married members of the royal family were treated this way—especially the supreme couple.Now that I have lost my "pure" status of being unmarried, theoretically, I shouldn't be afraid of those "impure" gazes.

The two of them sat on the head of the bed and received an inexplicable "blessing".Then, the bride had to be seen wearing her underwear by a group of ladies (the men went to admire the Dauphin) - Mary couldn't bear it.Finally, under the euphemistic but strong refusal of the Queen of Scots, the French women were embarrassed to continue.

The new crown princess, at least wait until her private parts are covered tightly, before she is willing to put on a make-up show in front of them.

The news soon reached the king and queen's room.

Henry II felt slightly regretful that his eldest son failed to attack the city in one go last night, but his face was still very relaxed.Catherine calculated the ages of her son and daughter-in-law, and she also acted quite calmly.As for the small disturbance in the new house in the early morning, the couple also expressed their understanding: "The little Queen of Scots has her own pride, and changing clothes and socializing is actually irrelevant, so let her go."

In fact, Henry II felt that the trivial matters of women's communication should be left to women; and Catherine, who was born in a free city, was quite tolerant of her capable daughter-in-law who was "raised by one hand", and did not care much about these red tapes.

More importantly, the Queen of Scotland's self-respect did not exceed the scope of court etiquette.

Mary also knew this well - the most astute Seton and Fleming inquired about the news from different channels, and confirmed that the master's treatment was still aloof.

After meeting a few people and a group of people, in the evening, Marie and Francois finally returned to the double bedroom.

Sorry, not alone.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the newlyweds were a little shy, so they had no choice but to continue the way they used to get along, reading books, playing chess, and tasting paintings together.In the chat, most of the topics were about learning, including the original Leonardo Da Vinci that Mary managed to obtain.

It's like falling in love with a middle school student.

This is not surprising.After all, the two have only been married for one day, and the adult world has just opened to them.What kind of prom and drama communication... have been subject to certain restrictions before.François is no better than Henry II - when his father married Catherine, he had an older brother who was not strictly required to study state governance; and fortunately he was taught by Diana, a mature woman who could almost be a mother - —The current crown prince is not good at writing love poems, and even reading those explicit words and sentences written by others to his wife makes him blush for a few seconds.

Mary has no intention of taking the initiative.She is planning how to make her husband abstinent.Before he expressed his willingness to cooperate, she must not make any actions that would be considered "with the intention of seduce".

Those "experienced people" who are not (that) secure and dare to make suggestions have long been "welcome out" by the couple (led by Mary).The remaining servants and maids carefully looked at the pair of masters who seemed to respect each other as guests, and kept silent and concentrated on their work.

When it was dark enough and it was time for bedtime, Mary directed the servants to stay as far away as possible, meaning to have a private conversation with the Crown Prince.

The bed curtain was tightly covered, which made Francois feel a little nervous.He felt that Mary wanted to have something important to say to him.He was both worried, which was related to his "bad performance" last night, and worried that he would continue to lose the battle tonight.

Clinker, but Mary lightly pressed the boy's arm, shaking her head slowly, restraining his impulse.And what she said next was completely beyond his expectations:

"My lord, teach us restraint and rationality. Therefore, premature married life, indulging in sensory confusion... is actually not worth advocating."

The pious and calm attitude of a believer temporarily extinguished the flame in the young man's chest.His very trusted sister, and supposedly intimate wife, was expounding some unusual points of view to him in the manner of a prophet and a wise man.

"Removing the spiritual factors...I also believe in some kind of rational medical theory." Mary said. "In the past, our law also believed that only 21 years old can be considered truly mature." [Note [-]]

"Of course, this emphasizes the full maturity of body and mind. The growth of the mind is often later than the body. Therefore, the church is not too opposed to those situations that are combined early."

Holding Francois' wrist with her slender fingers, she whispered in his ear with the most earnest caring tone, and said softly:

"However, even if I desire to truly integrate with you...even if we are given the mission to connect the two kingdoms...even if we are obliged to reproduce as soon as possible...it is not as important as your body."

Her lips moved slightly, and her eye sockets gradually flushed. "The teachings of the Lord, as well as the experience of medicine, are contrary to so many responsibilities, which makes me very hesitant."

"After all, you are the most important thing. Dear François, I don't want to risk any harm to you. I'd rather be later, later...maybe a year, maybe, longer, until We're old enough to..."

——In terms of "tradition", of course Mary would not directly say: My dear, you'd better stay for another four years.

And her affectionate gaze and high-sounding rhetoric almost melted Francois' heart.He felt that he seemed to be trapped in a dream, listening to the mysterious will of Christ, just like in the past - he remembered that he was sickly when he was young, and he was confused by fever several times, but he saw her often by his side, Comforting myself softly like an angel...

Yes, his Mary, with knowledge beyond the French court, has repeatedly helped himself out of the plight of illness; sometimes, she is like an elder and a mentor, pointing out the maze of his studies and life...

She always has a good reason.

"I understand, I understand, I believe..."

He held his new wife back and said solemnly, "You always give me the best advice."

Out of respect, and the shyness of young people on this matter, Francois did not ask in detail what is "adequately mature age".The Crown Prince of France, right on his marriage bed, promised in a firm tone:

"Your decision is my will; I will always... wait until you think it's appropriate..."

After confessing, he felt his cheeks getting hot.

Received the boy's sincere promise, but Mary was only half relieved.At first, her eyes were full of emotion, and she pounced on Francois a few times, then she gently pushed him away, holding her face, pretending to be distressed——

She was indeed troubled in her heart.

The person next to the pillow has been passed, and there are still parents-in-law, and a bunch of noble priests who pay attention to the crown prince's bed and curtains!Her reasons for being "not suitable for intercourse" were completely deviant to them.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Mary hesitating about these worries, Francois resolutely said:

"I'll find a way."

As he said that, not only his cheeks were hot, but even his brain felt like boiling.

"I'll explain it carefully, it's my responsibility as a husband." He tightened his grip on his wife's shoulders. "It's just a short delay, and I will definitely be able to make the decision."

"My dear Mary, you need not worry about that."

His words seemed to ring out. "It is the duty of a man to bear the scrutiny of the world."

The little man walks the talk.Just a week after their wedding, Henry II took courage in an intimate conversation about his eldest son's concern, saying:

"It's because of me."

Henry II has received many reports from his attendants: "No progress"; "Unfortunately, there is no real success"; "The crown prince and his wife are in harmony, but after the first night, the crown prince has no initiative to court."He was wondering if his son was frustrated because of the defeat in the first battle, or if his daughter-in-law was too resistant?Unexpectedly, Francois actually said that it was because of his "coldness".

Oh, according to the groom, it should be "self-discipline" and "restraint"-"I think that neither of us is mature enough now; therefore, proper abstinence is better."

Henry II was downright funny. "Mature doesn't come overnight. It's not the style of a knight to refuse to try easily."

His Majesty the King obviously fell into another line of thought. "Is it because...your wife is not letting go enough? If you are worried that you are too rude, you should practice hard on how to show mercy to women."

Henry II, who knew the joy of this matter well, persuaded with a smile: "Believe me, my son, every part of your body can be a source of happiness for her."

"Once she gets pleasure, she forgets the initial pain."

The father also said caringly: "Perhaps, the previous teaching was not enough. I'd like to ask the queen to choose an older maid..."

Francois flatly refused: "No, Your Majesty, my dear father. I don't need more teaching, I don't need those so-called practices, I don't need other objects."

He was decisive. "All I need is Mary."

"Oh, is that so?" Henry II was taken aback for a moment, and then asked playfully. "What a loyal and innocent young knight..."

However, his tone was not entirely sarcastic.

As the son of Henry II, Francois, who is not clumsy at observing words and expressions, can naturally realize this.Therefore, he said frankly:

"This is what I believe in."

A belief in dedicating virginity to a legal spouse...?Henry II stared, then laughed. "Well, you have that right."

The king lightly exposed the matter, and the woman involved the very popular Guise family, so the other nobles naturally didn't say much about it.However, hearing that her husband laughed off the crown prince's "inaction in intercourse", he was not so relaxed when he was the queen of his own mother.

The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law were too young when they got married. Although she had some concerns, she didn't worry too much—most members of the royal family came here like this.In the end, after her son got married, he took the initiative to say that he would take a while before consummating the marriage, which she found a bit inconceivable.

"Is it because of your body?" Catherine was relatively close to the truth.

Unlike Henry II, who was not worried about having more sons, Catherine always cared more about the first child born in her womb.

However, in this court, the mother can really control the private affairs of the married son's bed and drapes is still limited—especially when the newlyweds are as close as glue.

Of course, the current situation is rather delicate, and it is only natural for the queen to pay a little attention.

Catherine still decided to proceed with caution.

Originally, the queen was supposed to be the "most honorable woman" who could give advice to her daughter-in-law who lived in the palace.However, Catherine was born in a banking family and often fell behind her mistress; facing the more blue-blooded Queen of Scots, the Queen of France did not have enough confidence.Moreover, before, Catherine was one of the guardians of the future daughter-in-law; but now that Mary has married, her authority has declined.

Out of various considerations, Catherine first summoned Francois to inquire.

What she got was an answer similar to that of her husband.Under her repeated pursuit, the crown prince still insisted on explaining that he is by no means "incompetent", but needs time to adjust.

Catherine talked to Mary, who was usually more trustworthy.After hearing her shy expression that "everything follows her husband's will", Catherine had no choice but to suppress her suspicions and accept their "excuses" for the time being.

The young couple, after all, have been married for a short time.As a very tolerant "good wife and mother", the queen is still very tolerant and does not dictate the sexual affairs of her son and daughter-in-law.

Moreover, under Henry II's attitude of "they are just children" and "to maintain Francois' self-esteem", Catherine is still willing to show her mother-in-law's tolerance.

The French imperial court is still calm.

Marie easily understood that Francois defended himself a lot in front of his in-laws.She was moved, but not without guilt.

Because, as a princess who often thinks about retreats for herself, she received a letter from her expecting mother from Edinburgh.

It was in June 1558, less than two months after she was officially married.

The letter stated that the Queen Mother Regent's health was deteriorating, and hoped that the "adult" Queen would return to Scotland as soon as possible to take charge.
