Chapter 491 The Queen of France (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, brothers!)
Chapter 491 The Queen of France (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, brothers!)
...
In the long river of history, the royal families and royal families at home and abroad in ancient and modern times are all intertwined with glory and shadow, presenting real and legendary dramas that are rarely known to the public.
Among them, one of the more eye-catching ones may be the legendary life of French Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine.
A smart and beautiful girl was born in the family of Guillaume X, Duke of Aquitaine in France. Her name was Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Eleanor has shown unusual intelligence since she was a child.
Under an intensive education, Eleanor excelled in mathematics, history, and social etiquette.
However, fate played a cruel joke on Eleanor when she was eight years old.
In an assassination, Eleanor lost her loving mother and lovely brother, and became the sole heir to inherit the territory of Aquitaine.
Behind this grief, Eleanor strengthened her determination to inherit the family's legacy and become a capable leader.
Eleanor's father later remarried and gave birth to a younger brother, William.
Unfortunately, however, fate seemed not to be kind to the family.
Eleanor's father passed away not long after William was born, leaving the entire territory facing unprecedented turmoil.
As one of the richest heirs in Europe, Eleanor was thrust into the spotlight.
In order to protect Eleanor's rights and future, King Louis VI of France decided to entrust Eleanor under his guardianship.
Louis VI had already heard about this smart and tenacious girl, and he decided to teach her personally in the hope that she would become a wise and capable ruler in the future.
Beyond this, Louis VI had a plan.
Louis VI hoped to annex the territory of Aquitaine by marrying his son, the future Louis VII, to Eleanor.
Louis VI was convinced that the marriage between Louis VII and Eleanor would consolidate the stability of France and that it would be a perfect marriage.
Unfortunately, Louis VI was wrong.
Louis VI died in Eleanor's first month as Queen of France, and Eleanor's husband Louis VII ascended the throne as the new king of France.
However, becoming a true queen of France did not bring Eleanor a happy and fulfilling life.
As a new wife, Eleanor originally had expectations for a better future, but she soon discovered that her husband, Louis VII, was not willing to marry her.
For Louis VII, this marriage was just a political marriage, a means to consolidate his throne and power. He regarded Eleanor as a pawn and a tool, rather than a true partner and spouse.
The key is that Louis VII longed for a son to inherit his throne. However, Eleanor gave birth to two lovely daughters for Louis VII, but failed to give birth to a son for Louis VII. This made Louis VII Feeling disappointed and frustrated.
Louis VII began to be indifferent and disgusted with Eleanor, and even began to accuse Eleanor of being unable to give birth to a son.
Under this kind of psychological pressure and injury, Eleanor gradually became melancholy. She felt that her existence was worthless, as if she had become a failure.
In the oppressive environment of the palace, Eleanor began to long for freedom and relief.
At the same time, Eleanor also tried to communicate with Louis VII, hoping to improve their relationship.
But Louis VII paid no attention to Eleanor's efforts.
Louis VII was not even willing to spend time with Eleanor, and slowly and completely left Eleanor in the cold corner.
Finally, Louis VII's decision was announced, and he planned to abandon Eleanor.
This was a blow that Eleanor couldn't accept, and her heart seemed to be shattered into pieces.
Under pressure and threats from Louis VII, Eleanor had to leave the palace and return to Aquitaine, her parents' territory.
Not long after, Louis VII and the German King Conrad III led the Second Crusade. As a result, the Crusaders led by the two foolishly attacked Damascus and killed Li Cun's son Li Zhi. Later, the two fought together. One after another fled back to Europe.
Who is Li Cun?That's the world's hegemon! ! !
How could Louis VII and Conrad III be let go so easily?
In less than a year, Li Cun's sons invaded Europe, and not only destroyed Germany and France, but also swept across Europe.
The royal families, royal families, clans and nobles from various European countries were all captured by Li Cun's sons and generals and sent back to the city of Wanguo in the mainland of the Daqian Dynasty and imprisoned. All his daughters were brought into his harem by Li Cun.
Eleanor and her two daughters were no exception.
For Eleanor, her life is like a script with many twists and turns.
During Eleanor's first marriage, she was the Queen of France, enjoying a distinguished status and unparalleled glory.
However, fate did not seem to favor Eleanor too much because of this. She was unable to give birth to a male heir, making her a target of public criticism and even deposed.
However, life did not end, but opened another legendary chapter of Eleanor.
After being brought into the harem by Li Cun, Eleanor actually gave birth to five sons for Li Cun within five years.
For her ex-husband Louis VII, who had deposed Eleanor because she could not give birth to a son, this was undoubtedly the most direct blow.
Moreover, Louis VII's ex-wife Eleanor, who was originally unable to give birth to a son, gave birth to five sons to Louis VII's enemy Li Cun. This was also the biggest mockery of fate to Louis VII.
The key is that Louis VII became a prisoner of Li Cun's subordinates and did not dare to show his jealousy towards Li Cun and his anger towards Eleanor.
This situation made Louis VII feel extremely embarrassed, and his previous reasons turned into jokes and ridicule in the City of Nations.
By the way, Conrad III also killed Li Cun's son Li Zhi like Louis VII. His queen and daughter also entered Li Cun's harem and gave birth to several children for Li Cun.
But just because Conrad III was not as short-sighted and utilitarian as Louis VII, no one in the City of Nations laughed at Conrad III.
——After all, most of the men in Wanguo City were cuckolded by Li Cun, so the men in Wanguo City never laughed at each other because of this. They laughed at Louis VII not because Li Cun cuckolded Louis VII, but because Li Cun cuckolded Louis VII. Because Louis VII was sure that Eleanor could not give birth to a son, Eleanor slapped Louis VII in the face by giving birth to five sons for Li Cun.
Of course, there are actually other reasons for this.
After being taken into the harem by Li Cun, Eleanor walked out of the haze of marriage with wisdom and courage, and chose the right path. She was no longer a passive victim, but became the master of her own destiny.
This is a bit empty.
Specifically, after Eleanor was slept with by Li Cun, she showed no restraint like the French queen she once had. Instead, she lowered her profile and tried her best to please Li Cun.Most of Li Cun's original concubines and female officials are already old, and young women will definitely be needed to replace them.
Moreover, Eastern women do not understand Western women very well.
It is precisely because of this that Li Cun needs a woman who understands Western women to help him manage his royal daughters, royal daughters, clan daughters, and noble daughters from various European countries.
So, Eleanor, who licked Li Cun very comfortably, became this woman.
Eleanor used the identity given to her by Li Cun not only to successfully give birth to five sons for Li Cun, but also to demonstrate her personal management style.
Eleanor managed the royal daughters, royal daughters, clan daughters, and aristocratic daughters of all European countries in an orderly manner. Her wisdom and talent also won the love of Li Cun and the royal daughters and royal daughters of all European countries. The respect and love of his daughter, the daughter of the clan and the daughter of the nobility.
Furthermore, Eleanor not only became an outstanding representative of French women, but also an outstanding representative of European women. She is now one of Li Cun's favorite women.
There is no doubt that Eleanor became a real winner in life.
These things reached the ears of the royal families, royal families, clans, and nobles in the City of All Nations through the daughters of royal families, royal families, clans, and nobles in various European countries.
And undoubtedly, the more successful Eleanor was, the more Louis VII seemed to have failed.
This time, Li Cun hurriedly returned to the mainland of the Daqian Dynasty. He must not bring too many women with him, because there were too many of them and it was impossible to all leave at once. Moreover, in a hurry, it was easy to make mistakes. .
Therefore, when Li Cun came back this time, he only brought back a few hundred women.
And Eleanor is one of them.
Moreover, Eleanor is one of its managers.
The special train Li Cun took passed through the vassal states in Europe, then through the vassal states in Central Asia, crossed Congling, and entered the mainland of the Daqian Dynasty.
Eleanor, who has a pair of clear and melancholy brown-green charming eyes, a face marked by extreme delicacy, and a slender and sexy figure, looked out the car window.
I saw that even the relatively remote Western Region of the Daqian Dynasty was now covered with wide cement roads, running on them were all kinds of cars that are still rare in the vassal states. People who occasionally saw them, Every face was filled with happy smiles.
Get a glimpse of the whole picture.
Just by looking at these, Eleanor knew that the crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty, whom she had never met before, was indeed very outstanding. It was no wonder that a letter from him could make Li Cun stop playing and go back immediately.
——No one knows why Li Cun returned to the Daqian Dynasty in such a hurry. Even people close to Li Cun only know that Li Cun decided to return to the Daqian Dynasty after receiving Li Biao's personal letter.
Eleanor thought to herself: "I wonder if the five sons I gave birth to for the official family will be so outstanding?"
While Eleanor was thinking about her own thoughts, Sanjar's daughter Mu'ezuddin Abu Halais Handai Ahmed bin Malik was holding a piece of food without taking a few bites. Baklava came out.
——After Sanjar was defeated by the Daqian Expeditionary Force in the Battle of Katwan, he escaped with only fifteen grooms.After this war, the Seljuq Empire lost the Syr Darya River Basin.Then, the capital of the Seljuk Empire was defeated by Li Cun's sons. All the royal family, clans and nobles of the Seljuk Empire were captured by Li Cun's sons, and then dedicated to Li Cun. As usual, , all the men were sent to the City of All Nations and imprisoned, and all the women were taken into the harem by Li Cun, including Handai, the second princess of the Seljuk Empire, the most beautiful woman in the Seljuk Empire.By the way, Sanjar was later captured by the Oghuz and presented to Li Cun as a gift.
Han Dai was also one of Li Cun's favored concubines in recent years. Seeing that Li Cun had not had a good appetite these days, she specially made baklava for Li Cun, which she had specially learned for Li Cun.
No, last time Li Cun said that the baklava made by Handai was delicious, but this time he only took two bites and didn't want to eat it again.
Seeing Li Cun not thinking about food these days, Li Cun's concubines were all worried. They tried their best to get delicious food for Li Cun.
But most of the time Li Cun wouldn't take a bite. Occasionally, it might be because someone's food was really good, or maybe it was Li Cun's favorite concubine who presented the food, so Li Cun would take one or two small bites.
Again, although Li Cun's concubines were snatched back by Li Cun, they have become Li Cun's women. This is a fact that cannot be changed no matter what.
According to China's past rules, once the emperor died, most of the emperor's concubines, especially those who had no heirs, had to be buried.
As for the concubines who gave birth to children for Li Cun, they must have hoped that Li Cun would live a few more years, so that Li Cun could properly arrange for their children like Li Cun's other adult children.
Eleanor is the latter.
Furthermore, Li Cun is really good to his women, and there are also some women who have real feelings for Li Cun.
Eleanor, whose reputation was saved by Li Cun with his five sons, was also such a woman.
Seeing that Han Dai failed to make Li Cun eat a lot, Eleanor stood up and took the dinner plate held by Han Dai and said, "I'll go!"
After saying that, Eleanor took the baklava and went to the carriage where Li Cun was, to find a way to make Li Cun eat.
Entering the carriage, Eleanor nodded to the only woman in the carriage, Liu Fangfang, who was standing behind Li Cun like a shadow, and then elegantly came to Li Cun, who was in a low mood.
Eleanor said to Li Cun softly in extremely fluent Chinese: "For the past ten years, the Guan family has not eaten normally, and they have not even practiced health maintenance. If this continues, the Guan family's body will definitely collapse. I Daqian can't live without the official family, please ask the official family to eat as much as possible."
Li Cun waved his hand gently: "No appetite."
Eleanor added reluctantly: "How about I, my concubine, cook a bowl of ginseng soup for the officials to soothe their throats?"
Li Cun still shook his head: "I don't want to drink."
Li Cun obtained tens of thousands of royal, royal, clan, and aristocratic daughters from Europe, but only Eleanor successfully gave birth to five sons for Li Cun and was still favored by Li Cun, except because of Eleanor. In addition to being beautiful enough and good at pleasing Li Cun, Eleanor is also bold enough to take the initiative.
At this moment, seeing Li Cun being so negative, Eleanor felt her heart change, knelt down in front of Li Cun with a "pop", and then went to untie Li Cun's belt.
Seeing this, Li Cun asked: "What does my beloved concubine want to do?"
Eleanor kept moving her hands and said: "Since the official family is not interested in tea and food, then I will find something to do that will interest the official family..."
Not long after, a sound that was familiar to Li Cun's concubines but had disappeared for more than ten days could be heard in the carriage where Li Cun was sitting.
More than two hours later, Liu Fangfang, whose face was still flushed, was arranging her clothes, opening the car door, and then shouted happily but a little weakly: "The officials are hungry, please bring in some royal meals quickly."
After hearing this, all Li Cun's concubines cheered and went to prepare their specialty dishes for Li Cun.
At the same time, all the concubines of Li Cun unanimously sighed in their hearts: "I am so stupid. How could I forget that he is an official and can not eat or drink, but how could he be separated from a woman? In the end, he asked Eleanor to do it." Be the first!"
Immediately, Li Cun's concubines began to gear up. They wanted to take advantage of this time when the pressure of competition was relatively low and Li Cun was depressed for unknown reasons. They wanted to visit Li Cun more times, so that they could be more likely to conceive dragon seeds... …
