Mary Su Stuart

At the end of 1543 AD, the Scottish dignitaries who "discovered" Henry VIII's "conspiracy" formally demanded that the marriage contract between Mary Stuart and Edward Tudor be dissolved.

The king of England, who had repented of the marriage, was furious.His army was soon informed: to set fire to the towns and villages of Scotland, to kill the inhabitants with swords, and to gather all the wealth they could, and even razed the neighboring countries to the ground.

As long as they can bring the Queen of Scotland back from the ruins of the war.

However, Queen Mary took her daughter and hid in the strong Strindberg, so that the English army, which had won many battles, failed to capture the most important prey.

After losing his strategic goals, Henry VIII had to compromise.The unequal marriage contract was modified so that Queen Mary could wait until 1552, when she was ten years old and ready to get married, before rushing to London to meet the Crown Prince of England.

In fact, both parties knew that this marriage contract was already very ambiguous and fragile.

However, there must be a reason for a truce.

Queen Mary stopped worrying for the time being and can focus on raising her daughter.

She, a well-educated daughter of a great French aristocrat, was once a close friend with James V's short-lived first wife, Princess Madeleine of France, and soon made a growth plan for Mary.

Mary, who has learned to walk, run, and dance, dragged her nanny to play carefree in the castle all day long, but suddenly she welcomed several maids of similar age.

What surprised Marie was not that her mother arranged for these aristocratic girls who were just old enough to go to kindergarten to accompany her in French and etiquette; it was the four of them, all called Marie.

Hell, Mary is a nice name, but it's too much of a name!

The mother embraced her and said kindly: "My dear majesty, they will be your close companions, your eyes and ears and brothers in the court, and your important assistance in the future. The Lord let them come to your side, please be sure to Get on well with them."

It was obviously arranged by the mother herself (perhaps due to the influence of their family power), but she still had to use the name of God.Mary listened, wrinkling her nose almost imperceptibly.

Well, everyone's name is Mary, which is barely a coincidence.

However, in the future, she will have to use their surnames to distinguish them.

Fortunately, the courses arranged by the queen mother for the little queen are not very onerous.Therefore, with an adult soul, she feels that she can get twice the result with half the effort and be more than capable; therefore, she can have a lot of leisure to toss various children's entertainment.

It's rare to live another life, don't waste your childhood.

Besides, it would be a pity not to use a few more playmates.

Although the Stuart royal family is "poor" and their entire family is only "[-] sheep", they can still afford a few craftsmen.Under Mary's command, the rocking horse, the twisting car, and the seesaw were quickly assembled; all kinds of building blocks and play-house toys filled her room.

There are also hopscotch and flower ropes that "used to be" not enough. As the rule-setter of the game, Mary, who crushes all girls, is full of a sense of superiority overlooking all living beings.

Fortunately, Queen Mary is still quite enlightened.For her daughter who is "excellent" in her studies, she did not use her mother's authority to prohibit the queen's various entertainments, even though she was worried about losing her mind.

"But I think it's time to go out and walk around more."

The queen mother doesn't think that her young daughter really needs to go deep into the people; however, going out to inspect properly is good for winning people's hearts and her future rule-although, those Scottish nobles actually hope that the queen has no self-will and will always It is a doll at the mercy of others.

However, Mary is really not interested in the lives of other people at this time—even she, the king of a country, still eats food with few seasonings and tasteless food, uses a wooden toilet that can't remove the odor, and can hardly enjoy clean toilet paper. Imagine what a miserable life the subjects lived!

Of course, her mother reminded her from another angle: children really need more outdoor activities, and they can't stay in the palace and tinker with those gadgets all the time.

As far as she knows, outdoor activities can help prevent myopia-glasses are not a good fit in this day and age.More importantly, ultraviolet rays can promote the synthesis of vitamin D in the skin and promote growth and development.

Look at Mary One, the maid who is the same age as me but half a head taller than me, oh, Mary Beaton, the little queen will inevitably feel depressed.Obviously Queen Mary is quite tall, and she is not lacking in nutrition...

This, think about it carefully, what other sports can promote growth?

jump rope?This is easy to do, just find someone to do it.basketball?No, in this era, rubber is probably still the secret hidden deep in the jungle by Native Americans...

Mary's thinking gradually diverged, associating various uses of rubber; suddenly, she went back to the original three major philosophical questions of life - where am I going?

She misses the time-traveling women who introduce modern technology and transform the old world in those ancient works... But those seem to be too romantic and unrealistic dreams... About the future of the Queen of Scotland, other people's way of thinking , but relatively pragmatically.

"You will be Queen of England," said Mary II, the loyal but naive maid, during a casual chat.

Mary immediately shook her head firmly. "I can assure you that this marriage will fail."

Because of the cold wave of winter, it was inconvenient to go out, so the Queen and the four maids stayed by the warm fireplace and read a book.Surrounded by reliable and intimate people, Mary was particularly relaxed, and frankly talked about the "funeral affairs" she knew:

"At present, only Henry VIII is still dedicated to maintaining the marriage contract. However, his life is not too long."

"When he dies, England, which has lost its powerful monarch, will gradually fall into division. Under the influence of various forces, it will have to give up this forced marriage proposal."

"Besides, Edward VI is also a short-lived ghost. He will die before he gets married, completely cutting off the male blood of the Tudor royal family."

Four Mary was suddenly stunned by Her Majesty's unscrupulous remarks.Although the relationship between Scotland and England is very bad, she is still the fiancee of the crown prince there in name...

"This is the fate of the Tudor royal family. It is doomed to the decline and death of men until they die." Mary's words made them tremble more and more. "Someone once said that this is the curse left by their ancestors, it is inevitable."

The slightly gloomy Stirling Castle, the cold wind whistling outside the window.The flames in the fireplace flared up, looking extremely ferocious.The candlelight flickered, quite eerie.

"Yes, what is the curse?" asked the most solid Mary Beeton boldly.

Mary smiled mysteriously. "It is said that King Henry VII of England secretly murdered the two younger brothers of his wife Elizabeth York in order to cut off the male descendants of the White Rose York family, so that he could logically occupy his wife's name and all the property of the York royal family. Those who don't know the truth The queen, together with her mother, cursed the murderer who killed her close relative, and it finally happened to her husband."

"Their eldest son, Arthur, died young as expected."

"The queen, who found out the truth, was distraught and tried her best to save her second son Henry, but she died in childbirth. Then, the current Tudor king, Henry VIII, couldn't give birth to a son for many years until he After marrying the third wife, I got the only baby..."

"But it is destined not to live long."

The innocent maid Mary No. [-], Mary Seton pulled her hair, covered her chest and said, "Your Majesty, what you said seems to be true."

"Oh, my lord, good and evil will be rewarded in the end." Mary sighed with a rather godlike air. "Let reality tell."

Spoilers are cool for a while, and spoilers are always cool.Especially when there were a few innocent and pretty little girls sitting around him with eager eyes.

Sure enough, on January 1547, 1, Henry VIII, who was predicted to die soon by Mary, passed away, leaving Edward VI who was only nine years old.

However, Mary felt as if she had missed something.

She only remembered that after the death of Henry VIII, the young master Edward was controlled by the powerful officials. Duke Seth is still very strong.

No, he blatantly demanded in the name of Edward VI: For the stable future of England and Scotland, the married girl must be sent to London as soon as possible.

The Scottish lords have long disliked England, and feel that they can't get any more benefits; Queen Mary is also worried about her daughter, and has been reluctant to send her to the enemy's camp for a long time.When they first heard that Henry VIII had passed away, they were secretly delighted and prepared not to fulfill their engagement; suddenly, they were hit in the face.

One side refuses, one side presses.Between this feud, the war inevitably broke out again.

As a result, Scotland suffered another humiliation.

After the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Pink, almost the entire kingdom became the backyard of the English invaders.Even the strong Strindberg fell into the enemy's hands.

Yet the spoils, so coveted by the English, were still well concealed.

The four Marys, who were still in shock, were quickly transferred to a remote and desolate monastery together with their calm master.

Mary didn't bother to remember its name because Mayhome was something else.She only focused on observing the security situation in this area, and the result was quite satisfactory to her.

The monastery, located on a small island in the center of Mentis Lake, is very inconspicuous, with no road access except for boats for access.Apart from the most loyal Scottish guards, those who guarded the queen were a few Frenchmen who were absolutely reliable at the moment.

Mary had heard that the queen mother, her natal family, and the royal family of France, and the Lords of Scotland, were united again in the common enemy of England.

They're even seeking new alliances—and Mary knows that too.

"Don't worry, we'll be safe." Mary comforted those lovely maids who were easily panicked.

"My mother said the situation was critical." Mary Beeton couldn't help sobbing.Her mother was a maid brought by Queen Mary from France, and she did not move with the queen at this time. "If caught by the 'Raging Plague of England', it's over."

Affected by the outside world, these innocent girls would jump like rabbits whenever there was a sign of trouble.

"Don't be afraid, the English will never find us."

Mary said it emphatically. "Absolutely, not here."

The little queen maintained a determined and calm posture all the time, which gradually dissipated the fear of the maids.Compared with those monks and nuns who chanted "May the Lord bless" every day, and those guards who were nervous, the firm and noble master beside them obviously made the girls feel more at ease.

As a result, Fourth Mary gradually put those horror stories behind her, and relaxed with Her Majesty, in dark or bright rooms, and played games again—ahem, rope skipping, naughty bands, and hopscotch.

Look, there are only nannies here, there are not enough elders, and the hermits in the monastery are too kind... Mary has completely become the master of her own life.

Since there is inevitably a lack of material in hiding, she can only try her best to have fun (and exercise) under limited conditions.

Amidst the laughter, time flies by.

So passed in 1547, and Mary was five years old.

On this day, a "distinguished guest" came to the monastery.He hadn't come to negotiate with the queen--what could you talk to with an underage girl--he had just come to visit and weigh her up at the behest of some king who was interested in her.

"What a child who knows no worries." The "honored guest" stepped into the slightly noisy aisle, saw the queen playing with four maids excitedly, and even laughed mischievously, couldn't help muttering in French.

Mary raised her head and looked at the unknown man. "I understand, sir."

She shook her skirt, not without restraint to signal Si Mary to stop playing around.

The man saluted her without losing his grace. "Her Majesty The Queen of Scots, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Mary returned him a standard French court look. "You also know that I am the Queen of Scots, not an ignorant child."

"You're right." The man replied politely.

"Even if it is dark here, it will not damage the glory of a monarch." Mary's tone was proud.

"Even if I have to live here now, I'm not afraid."

"Because I believe that my future will be bright."

Mary glanced at the corner of his smiling mouth, and said solemnly: "My mother and other Scottish nobles are doing their best to deal with the enemy."

"Also, French reinforcements will definitely arrive."

"I know, I can trust you." She stared into the man's eyes. "That's what you're here for, isn't it?"

"Oh, Your Majesty," he stared at the "precocious" queen in surprise, "thank you for trusting in the friendship from the French royal family."

"I appreciate your friendship too." Mary blinked. "Because of your meddling, I will be free from the English-imposed contract in Scotland. When the new marriage negotiations are concluded, you will help me get out of here, won't you?"

The French envoy's complexion changed slightly, and he was speechless for a while.And Si Mary was also dumbfounded by the queen's words.Finally, Mary Beeton asked in a daze, "Your Majesty, why do you..."

Although everyone had some guesses, but they switched to marrying France or something, the subjects on the small island in the middle of the lake with little information never dared to draw conclusions.

"I know everything because... I have personally experienced the holy miracle."

In the face of several probing gazes, Mary straightened her back and said righteously: "But the details of the holy site should not be rendered or announced at will."

"God behold us... I, the Queen of a Nation, am not a spoil for England or any other country."

The last sentence was mainly for French envoys.

Mary hopes that this kind of performance can deter the other party and give her a little more confidence in her future.

After all, she is not yet capable enough; for the time being, her fate can only be determined by the inertia of history.

On July 1548, 7, with the support of France, Scotland unilaterally terminated its engagement with England.The new marriage contract was signed at the same time: Mary Stuart will marry the French crown prince who is one year younger than her; before the official marriage, the underage queen will be entrusted to the French court to be raised; King Henry II of France will become her guardian .

On August 1548, 8, late at night, Mary left Scotland in a tall ship with white sails.

The sea breeze was blowing her brown hair, and the little queen of the Stuart family rubbed her sleepy eyes, silently swearing in her heart: from now on, she will never hide or sneak around; .

Then what, a mighty and domineering time-traveling girl should be her ideal!

The fleet she was in carefully crossed the sea area that the English army was searching, and arrived in France five days later.
