Mary Su Stuart

François fell ill again.

In addition to coughing, wheezing, and even difficulty breathing for a long time.This frightened Queen Catherine.Although she already has two sons and two daughters, the crown prince who has been officially canonized is still her most important support.

Henry II was quite distraught.According to what the Geese brothers revealed and the news from Mrs. Fleming, Mary knew that he was really disappointed and scared about the body of the eldest son.

Once upon a time, kings and queens had no heirs.Therefore, for the eldest son who was finally born, he once regarded it as a treasure.And Catherine gave birth to two daughters next, and he paid more attention to his only son.Therefore, Francois's frailty almost became the king's heart disease.

Recently, the queen finally gave birth to another son, Louis, and Henry II, who felt that he had an extra layer of insurance, was relieved.However, he still has high hopes for his precious son who is married to Scotland.However, the crown prince fell ill again and again, which made him quite entangled, and even felt a little "fearful and far away".

At the strong request of the future princess, the doctors and attendants in charge of nursing all put on masks.And Mary herself covered her mouth and nose regardless of her appearance, and stood in front of Francois.

Because of her focus and love, Francois' self-loathing emotions due to illness were gradually replaced by various small touches.

Of course, this is a kind of beautifying filter unique to patients - when the body is fragile, it is easy for others to treat you well, and it is easy to infinitely magnify it.

As for Mary, she thinks she doesn't have a deep relationship with him, it's just a little bit of pity and a bit of exploration.

Francois' current symptoms reminded Mary of a common allergic disease in modern times: asthma.

She asked carefully about the crown prince's previous symptoms: seasonal urticaria, nasal congestion headache caused by pollen, irritating dry cough when exposed to cold wind...all are some typical allergic manifestations.But this time, he had repeated wheezing and coughing, but no symptoms of infection such as fever, which made her suspicious.

The future crown princess called the imperial doctor's medical records and checked them repeatedly. The more I looked at it, the more I felt that this was the case.

But in this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine - there are no anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, anti-asthma drugs, no matter how serious the attack is, the patient can only rely on it.In case of being unable to carry it through——Recalling the modern Chinese female singer who died of asthma accidentally, Mary was terrified.

Fortunately, "children's asthma" is a relatively "curable" disease, provided that the treatment is adhered to.

Even if there is no panacea today, symptomatic care should be taken as much as possible.Marie stared at François' lips, blue from lack of oxygen, and decided to go all out.

Even without considering the various interests between this boy and herself, as far as her basic sympathy as a human being is concerned, she still hopes that he can live a healthy and healthy life.

Therefore, Mary volunteered to communicate with the royal physician about the crown prince's treatment plan.

"I have seen descriptions of this kind of disease in some collections of the monastery... Usually, it is caused by allergies to certain substances."

"So, in the short term, it is very, very important to avoid substances that are harmless to ordinary people but are 'dangerous' to the Crown Prince."

"Among them, seafood such as milk, nuts, fish, shrimp and crab shells, as well as alcohol and pollen are all substances that need to be carefully checked."

"And many insects are also sources of uncleanliness; therefore, it is necessary to ensure the hygiene of the bedroom as much as possible."

In view of the fact that dust mites, a high-risk allergen, are still difficult to identify with the naked eye, Mary can only apply: "Also, regular high-temperature disinfection of indoor fabrics, identification of feathers and down products, and controlled use."

Faced with the trivial request of the future princess who is under seven years old, the imperial doctors are at a loss.They had heard that the Queen of Scots was precocious and knew a little "good medicine"; but now, is it too much?

And listen to what she said, the words are very fresh, not too difficult to understand, and there seems to be no obvious loopholes in theory...

The problem is that although the boundaries between theology and medicine are not so clear-cut, it seems that there is no way to verify the will of God and the so-called Scottish classics in her mouth?

It's almost like witchcraft.

The imperial doctors hesitated, so they had to ask the higher-level leaders for instructions.

Regarding the eldest son's sick body, Henry II was used to retreating, and he couldn't make up his mind at all.Mrs. Valentinoy and Mrs. Fleming, her new favorite, dare not interfere easily.Queen Catherine summoned several more exploratory Florentine private doctors, and after a detailed discussion, she made a decision: first follow what the Queen of Scots said.

With regard to the care of the crown prince, Mary has received the greatest authority.

At this time, the simple neti pot she had experimented with finally came in handy.

"Cleaning the nasal cavity with salt water can reduce the allergens in the upper respiratory tract and alleviate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis associated with asthma." This time, Mary not only talked eloquently to the suspicious court doctor, but also demonstrated it in person regardless of her image .

What a ferocious expression... Asthma is a stubborn disease, she can't hold back.

Ahhhhhhhh, after choking on water several times, she finally mastered this technique... Now, she can teach it to others.

As for the crown prince, he had no choice but to learn along with a sad face...

In addition, Mary also took the opportunity to put forward the call for "clean life".

Personal hygiene is the most important thing in a clean life.

Well, although there is always a source that late medieval Europeans didn't like to take a bath.But in this French court that has "evolved to the Renaissance", the current hygiene habits of people are barely too bad-this may be due to Queen Catherine's contribution to the spread of "Roman classical culture".

However, even if it imitates the frequency of "rest and bath" once every ten days in the far east, with the leather and perfume produced in Italy, and the smell of the court residents, Mary still finds it difficult to accept.She is full of selfishness and wants to take this opportunity to improve the hygiene of those close to her.

As for the principle of "water vapor is good for breathing" described by the little queen, the imperial doctors still strongly agree.They have been researching similar hot spring treatments for a long time—yes, the aristocrats who claim to not like bathing are very keen on soaking in hot springs.

Mary comprehended by analogy, took advantage of the situation and proposed that she should learn to swim.

Oh, modern medicine generally believes that swimming can increase lung capacity, exercise the patient's respiratory function, and improve immunity and cold resistance.Moreover, the amount of exercise in swimming is relatively moderate, the burden on the body is small, and it is not easy to be exposed to dust. It is said that it may be quite beneficial to the treatment of asthma.

Mary, who is enthusiastic about practicing on her fiancé, prescribes a lot of "doctor's orders" in a drastic manner.The imperial doctors carefully collected and filed all the immature notes of the seven-year-old little queen—if the curative effect is not good, they will always find the person responsible!

Generally speaking, the plans of the future crown princess and the medical team have obtained the support and permission of the king and queen.Finally, in the winter of this year, the royal family set off to a hot spring town that would be famous in the future: Vichy.

What, have you never heard of the four major French cosmetics brands?Come, come, let the time-traveling women popularize science: VICHY, URIAGE, LRP La Roche-Posay, AVENE.

All are hot spring derivatives!

In addition, don't forget, there is also Evian Evian, which specializes in high-end water.

Marie, who is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, doesn't miss hot spring eggs at all now—if she eats them again, she will become a big fat man.She should concentrate on enjoying the hot spring SPA for skin and body.

Mary was having so much fun; Queen Catherine, who was accompanying her, looked at the little queen who seemed to be immersed in various beauty attempts with scrutiny from time to time.

Fortunately, Catherine gradually discovered that under the care of her future daughter-in-law, François's condition has really improved.

The tight strings in the queen gradually loosened.She really wanted to pay God, oh no, thank God.

Henry II was both delighted and relieved.So, after some tenderness with his wife, he acted like a baby to Mrs. Valentinoy, and this gentleman put his arms around his new favorite Mrs. Fleming again, and went to "clean the fat with hot spring water".

The winter of 1549 was really pleasant.

François, in particular, was in a good mood.Through gradual exercise, his control over his body seems to have improved a lot.The frustration of equestrian training in the past was gradually replaced by the joy brought by swimming and playing in the water.Besides, because the main purpose of coming here is to recuperate, the crown prince's cultural studies are quite slack, so he doesn't have to face the embarrassment of being compared with his fiancée from time to time.

In fact, the emotion of jealousy is more likely to ferment between two people with a small gap.When the level of one is obviously beyond the reach of the other, jealousy can only be turned into admiration and admiration.

Francois is in this state now - he was completely crushed by the little Queen of Scots in his studies, and he saw the hope of recovery because of her medical plan, so he couldn't help but become Sister Mary's fanboy.

On that day, Francois had just dried himself off, put on several layers of coats, and came to see his idol again.

The maids guarded the gate and advised him to wait: "Your Highness, Your Majesty Mary is taking a bath."

The steaming body... charming, ambiguous?Tsk, don't be crooked, children don't think so much.

In fact, Mary herself was secretly swimming.

The naked kind.

The invention of swimsuits is of course a very late age.However, that thing is for public baths.In the hot spring pool enclosed by the royal family, it is not impossible for Mary to want to swim naked.

In the eyes of a modern person who has suffered from "occupational diseases", the benefits of this exercise are countless, and it is very effective for cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, frozen shoulder and so on.Therefore, whenever there is a chance, Mary will go into the water to exercise herself.

However, no one will "teach" the future crown princess to swim.

Fortunately, it seems that the memory deep in the soul can also be used in this body.Mary took some effort and regained the simplest and safest breaststroke in her previous life.However, those movements of kicking the legs and slapping the water are not very "elegant" if they are seen by men or even maids.Therefore, Mary would rather exercise when she is alone.

Alas, freestyle and backstroke, as far as she knows, are far more graceful.However, she never learned it in the past, and in this era, she probably has no hope...

While kicking the water vigorously, Mary heard Miss Beeton calling.

The blond maid came in, blushing from the steam from the spring. "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he wants to ask you to play chess."

Mary rose in response and changed clothes quickly.One of the reasons why Europeans don't like to take a bath is that they are afraid of catching a cold and getting viruses into their bodies.Therefore, it is even more necessary to dry the body quickly when taking a bath in winter.

And the chess mentioned here is chess; it is a competitive game suitable for anyone with normal intelligence, regardless of high or low, and it can exercise thinking ability-although ordinary people usually cannot afford this set of things.

Although Mary is not very keen on playing chess, she knows how to study with the prince.And François, because he can often draw with Mary on the chessboard, is also willing to participate in this activity-in fact, in order to increase the sense of accomplishment for the child, Mary secretly releases a little water.

Boys' self-esteem must be carefully cared for.

When she walked out the door and saw his expectant, longing, and cute little eyes, Mary felt that this is how it feels for a sister to take care of a younger brother, or... a son?

There is a bit of fun to develop.

A quiet and polite little boy, quite pleasing to the eye; curly hair, like a doll; looks quite like those European and American child stars she knew in her previous life.

As everyone knows, in the eyes of Francois, Marie is the cutest and cutest girl in the world.

Soft sideburns, bright brown eyes, a small and slightly straight nose, moist and full red lips, a powdery face that seems to be broken by blowing bullets... Especially, her hands and feet are light and elegant, like a well-manicured The garden is like a fresh and beautiful picture scroll.

Most importantly, the hygienic Mary has almost no strong fragrance that would cause him to sneeze.

——Ahem, in order to cover up the heavy body odor caused by not taking a bath, perfume manufacturing is a huge and important industry from Italy to France.

Thinking that he would spend his future life with such a beautiful girl, Francois was full of joy and wanted to thank God—after all, his mother, his father's real queen, Catherine was really lackluster in appearance.

In fact, in this Renaissance era, praising and enjoying beauty is the mainstream.In the French court, there is nothing disgraceful about face control. After all, beauty is often associated with virtue, as if the two are really inseparable.

But this time, the Duke of Guise, who came to Vichy Town, couldn't help boasting when he saw Mary.

Uncle Guise praised his niece without saying a word: "My 'Your Majesty', your skin is getting better and better. It seems, ah, it is easy to fascinate half of France."

Marie, who is used to all kinds of exaggerated descriptions, has been able to cheekily joke with him: "Dear uncle, what about the other half?"

The Duke of Guise smiled slyly: "Oh, considering His Majesty's mood, they have to make a choice between Madame Valentinoy and Madame Fleming."

Mary raised the corners of her mouth, followed by a knowing smile.

The Duke of Guise continued: "Your Majesty Henry means that you are sure to return to Paris after St. Valentine's Day?"

Mary nodded. "Not bad at all."

However, Henry II's plans could not keep up with the changes. Just after 1549, he received a bad news: his youngest child, Louis, died in infancy.
