Mary Su Stuart

Cecil, England's Secretary of State, has been feeling distraught lately.

In the past two years, Spain has been very rude to England because of privateering incidents in shipping and various conflicts of interest; a few days ago, because some people in the country intervened in the civil war in the Netherlands, they annoyed the other party and almost brought disaster to England.

The first person to offend Spain was the queen's husband, Robert Dudley.Due to her health, it was difficult for the queen to govern herself; the Duke of Clarence was barely her spokesperson, but he did not completely win her trust, let alone convince Cecil and other veterans of the Privy Council.

In theory, England has a well-rounded regent.She was bold, but her "stance" always made the nationalist Cecil quite uncomfortable--Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots and Queen of France, could really take care of England's interests and not let him The motherland becomes a vassal?

Well, whether it is Elizabeth, the monarch he is loyal to, or Mary, the regent who comes from a foreign country, they are all considered very attractive women-especially the latter.But Cecil deeply felt the trouble and horror of women: the two of them not only became pregnant one after another, but also brought many variables to the future of the kingdom because of the temporary emptiness in their knees.

First up is Her Majesty Elizabeth, possibly the last Tudor monarch.She had been single for a long time before, which made people desperate; later, she chose left and right, and chose a courtier to marry.Now her husband has a scandal of murdering his dead wife, and his reputation is notorious, even dragging down the queen's reputation; even the identity of the heir to her womb is beginning to be questioned...

As for Mary Stuart, she is trustworthy in domestic affairs, and she has safeguarded England's interests as much as possible in diplomacy.However, she is by no means a good person. As a foreigner, she has always been obsessed with the English crown, and even connived at the Duke of Norfolk who stood on her side to say that even if Elizabeth gave birth, she should be regent until the young master takes over.She even suggested that the future crown prince should be raised by her.At this critical moment, she was pregnant, and Baba ran back to France to raise the baby, which was really unreliable.

In short, women are really worrying.It is precisely because of these women in England that the situation is so messed up...

Cecil clenched his fists and put his fingers together, sighing deeply.

In a few months, maybe the two female monarchs will be able to decide the winner?Well, at least, it can determine who will have the final say in England in the next few years.

Alas, at this point, Mary Stuart did a good thing by going to France—at least, Her Majesty Elizabeth was not so worried about her own safety and could give birth with peace of mind; The regent was able to disassociate himself from the relationship and kept a certain part of the government clean.

Cecil was so entangled and unbearable, but Mary put aside her distracting thoughts and concentrated on recuperating in the fresh air of Fontainebleau Palace.In fact, she is also willing to go for a walk in the Loire Valley - the Chateau of Blois is very good, and the Chateau of Chenonceau, which Catherine tried her best to transform, is also worth revisiting.But considering Francois' need to be in power and his reluctance to be separated from his wife, she decided that it would be better to stay obediently in the suburbs of Paris.

François would not have been in a good mood if he hadn't been comforted by the good news that his wife was finally pregnant.The King of France has been under a series of pressures since he heard that Montmorency had died of illness and returned home in a hurry.

At first, the Cardinal of Lorraine sought the position of royal commander for his nephew, but Lobitard vetoed it.Francois would rather use his kinsman, the Duke of Montpensier (this king is also considered a branch of Bourbon), but unfortunately he is too mediocre to do so.In the end, François assigned the position to Montmorency Jr. according to Henry II's wishes during his lifetime, hoping that he could replace his father and temporarily resist the Guise family.

Then the Duke of Nevers came forward to intercede with Prince Condé in prison.He was considered neutral at first, but because his mother-in-law was Kong Dai's older sister, who was related to him, he couldn't help but ran out to have sex with her.The Queen Mother reprimanded him sternly in person, saving herself from talking too much, but her mind was still blocked after hearing those stupid words.

And Henry, Duke of Vendome, said that he missed his mother and wanted to go back to Navarre.François managed to control his temper with difficulty, and "mildly but dignifiedly" rejected him.

Younger brother Charlie, obviously in poor health, is still newly married to Anna from Austria, yet he still has time to flirt with a commoner girl from Orleans.

As for Henry and Aegul, they are only interested in having fun all day long; let them attend the imperial meeting, and there are only people sitting there, and their thoughts don't know where to go.

Even Margot, who was always at ease, proposed to him that he and the Duke of Guise had mutual intentions... with an expression of hatred for marriage, it made him seem to have wronged his sister if he refused to agree.But this is absolutely impossible.In the past, when Henry II was still alive, Montmorency let his son marry the king's beloved illegitimate daughter as his wife; the Duke of Guise may not be unable to marry the real princess.Now that one side is obviously weak, Francois can no longer add weight to the strong Guise family.

"Then Colini, why haven't you caused any trouble lately?" Mary asked with a smile as she lay on the sofa in her nightgown.

"I have issued an order a long time ago, asking him to stay back in Picardy and leave me alone..." Francois frowned. "Hey, why do we have to discuss this troublemaker, isn't it good to be quiet?"

Without waiting for Mary to answer, he wrapped his arms around her and asked stupidly, "How do you feel today, do you want to eat something special?"

Mary knocked him backhanded.Asking this question, it seems that she is really a foodie.However, since she was pregnant, her tolerance to food has dropped significantly, and her tastes have also changed a lot, which is really difficult to serve.However, she misses the delicious Chinese food in her previous life, but she is not good at it. She guides the chefs and makes dark dishes; she can only drool in her dreams and scratch her heart when she wakes up.

Fortunately, recently Francois sent someone to get a large amount of pepper.There is a new combination of sweet and sour, which greatly comforts Mary's heart.As a result, her appetite increased a lot, and she started to tinker with various new tricks again, which made the chef class sweat every day.

She thought about it. "Crispy fried oysters with chili powder, today's new product, do you want to try it?"

Francois shook his head and said, "The kind that doesn't touch chili, thank you."

Mary snorted and laid her head on his shoulder.François, his only wife, changed into a cotton inner shirt early on, which felt good and was comfortable.Seeing that she seemed to be dozing off, he hurriedly held her steady, for fear of getting stuck somewhere—especially protecting her belly, which was not yet visibly swollen.

Mary squinted.After being taken care of by him like this, it seemed that sleepiness hit her.Well, it's been a long time since I took such a heart-to-heart vacation.As a "dedicated monarch" (or regent or queen), she shoulders heavy responsibilities, fights for power for herself, and benefits for the country. There are not many days when she can be so salty.Being busy with career, scolding Fang Qiu, and pointing the country is of course happiness; but there is more than one mode of happiness, and it is also an interesting experience to switch to a lazy and soft wife by chance.

but……

The corners of her mouth were raised, her red lips were slightly parted, and her tone seemed a bit sad, which made Francois tremble in his heart.

"I like this, put aside all the messy things in England; maybe after them, I will no longer need me as the regent, right? Queen Elizabeth has her own child again, the throne and so on, probably it will never be my turn... ..."

Francois hugged her tightly. "You've worked hard as a regent in England; you've done enough and done well enough. If they don't appreciate it, it only proves that they are 'cooked white-eyed wolves' as you said, with low morals and not worth it." You care."

Mary said with emotion: "Yes. But it took a lot of painstaking efforts and hard work to build... It is always a bit unwilling to give up easily. Your father has always supported me in the past, always hoped to get the crown of England, and always looked forward to bringing Britain across the strait. The island was brought back into the sphere of influence, and a French kingdom that was strong enough to compete with the empire... Now, it is probably going to be a pity."

Hearing this, her husband's expression gradually became solemn. "I respect my father's ambition, I appreciate your dedication, and I am proud of your ambition and your achievements. However, whether the throne or power is secondary; only you, dear Mary, have never been alone. You, you are the only and most important.

He lowered his head and sighed in her ear: "It doesn't matter if there is no England, not even Scotland... You are still you, my one and only Mary."

"I know, dear, you are an extraordinary Mary. You never disdain those caged birds who only know how to comb beautiful feathers... Perhaps, the Queen of France can also realize your lofty ideals. I will wholeheartedly give you what you need, I will do my best to…”

Mary watched his eyes shine brightly as he moved closer and closer until—he pressed a mark on her lips.She thought: He can say all these words, which has the potential to fool the emperor; however, it just suits her heart.

Before deciding to go back by boat, she had actually considered it thoroughly.In this era of lack of medical care and medicine, it is quite difficult to survive healthy.It is said that Elizabeth has repeatedly worried about death due to pregnancy and childbirth, and she is actually similar.Even in the royal family with the best medical conditions, the childbirth process is tantamount to going to hell.In short, the body is the capital of revolution.What ideal, to live well, is the most important ideal of a time-traveling girl.

Therefore, it is not a pity to give up the power struggle in England for the time being - what's more, even though she said she was "disappointed", she knew in her heart that there are still a group of ministers who have a stake in her and are working tirelessly. Woolen cloth.

In short, you must live healthy first before you have a future.

She caressed her belly.It's amazing, a child, it seems that she has finally taken root in this world.He/she will be the evidence of his/her integration into this time and space, and most likely, will be recorded in the history books together with her.

Once upon a time, the traveler was lonely.Even with the closest mate, there is an unavoidable sense of alienation.But the child in her womb seemed to make all the difference.

Mary raised her hand, grabbed her husband, and returned him a wet French kiss.

"Thank you, my dearest Francois."

Well, it's late at night, it's time to sleep. The "most dangerous first three months" have passed, but she is as cautious as Mary, taking into account the hard-won first child, and does not dare to be presumptuous on the bed-but purely, giving the king some comfort is also the queen's duty?

The fireplace of the Fontainebleau Palace is well prepared with fuel, and the room is warm, just suitable for lingering.

At the same time, in London, which was colder and damper than Paris, in Whitehall Palace, Elizabeth was curled up alone, sleeping very restlessly.

For the queen's abortion, Robert moved to the next room, which came from the doctor's advice.However, many factors surrounding him became Elizabeth's troubles.

After a series of diplomatic efforts, Spain's arrogance was temporarily subdued; and Mary of Scotland, at last, was far away-she sincerely hoped that she would never return.But at this time, the Privy Council began to target her husband again—not only investigating the mistake of having an affair with Spain, but also holding on to the accident of his late wife Amy.

Elizabeth had seen that poor, frail woman many years ago.She guessed then that she would soon die; but Emmy died suddenly by falling down the stairs.For this reason, she was very wronged and had to neglect Robert for a while.Now, the two of them finally got married and had a child, but the ghost of that woman floated out again...

She was too aware of the sinister intentions of those people: to make a big fuss about Amy and discredit Robert, in order to completely suppress him and remove the Queen's political influence.But worrisome, not only that.They also hinted that if he did not disown Robert altogether, he would discredit them both and make her a target.

What does it mean to separate the relationship!To declare the marriage null and void? !

There was a dull pain in her temples, and Elizabeth's body was tense; she was grinding her teeth bitterly in her sleep.

But the terrible nightmare, like a climbing vine, coldly entangled the Queen of England--

She was sitting on the cold throne, with a bloody head, and suddenly "Gululu" rolled to her feet.

Her curly gray hair fell loose and wrapped around her ankles.Then, the head began to speak:

"I also want a swordsman who can minimize the pain of being cut down."

"Dear sister, you trapped me in a snare... You didn't think about me a little bit, you didn't. You can obviously save me from suffering."

"Ah, my body rots, but my soul never dies." "My end is my beginning."

"From my fall, my name will be immortalized romantically in literature and religion... As for you, history will record, a sinister, malevolent realist."

"You and your murderous father, the inheritance is cut off here... and my bloodline will always continue on the monarch of England."

"Who, who!" Elizabeth screamed. "Who dares to curse me!"

She sat up suddenly, seeing the darkness she had been accustomed to for many years.

The maids "squeaked" and leaned over to support the queen.

There was sweat on her forehead; waves of pain in her abdomen were rushing to her limbs.Elizabeth felt as if she had walked into another nightmare.

"It hurts, hurry, call the doctor—"

The maids touched the sheets and found it wet and slippery.So, a series of calls came from the room to the distance:

"Quick, His Majesty may have activated it earlier!"
