2009 There is a ghost in my heart
Queen Eugenie, the daughter of a down-and-out Spanish nobleman, lived a wandering life before marrying Napoleon III.
It wasn't until she met Napoleon III that this woman's wheel of fortune finally began to turn. Originally, Napoleon III wanted to marry a Nordic princess, which was also the norm for political marriages among European royal families.
It is a pity that Napoleon III at that time did not have the prestige of his uncle at all. The royal families of various European countries respected him on the surface but actually looked down on him. The marriage eventually fell through.
Since the political marriage failed, Napoleon simply found his true love, the woman who made his heart beat, Eugenie.
In fact, this woman is no worse than any princess. She is beautiful, has outstanding temperament, and wants to be close to the people. On the day of their wedding, the queen actually curtsied to the people watching the ceremony for the first time.
This move greatly increased her favor in the hearts of the French people, and cheers shook the entire street.
Don't think that curtseying is simple. After all, imperial power was still very heavy in the hearts of the people at that time. The idea of democracy had just been enlightened, and the majority of the people were extremely reverent to the imperial power.
This is like the future wedding of Emperor Tongzhi. If all the people in Beijing were really allowed to watch the ceremony, and the queen bowed and thanked the people in the city, it would really shock the whole Qing Dynasty.
Because it was unprecedented, the people were very grateful, and Queen Eugénie's status among the people gradually increased.
It is a pity that the queen's married life was not happy. Although Napoleon III loved her very much, his lustful nature could not be changed at all. Napoleon III began to have sex a few months after their marriage.
After several unpleasant conflicts, Queen Eugenie was very disappointed and she chose to travel in Europe. In fact, this was a wife who was angry with her husband and ran away from home.
But it is a pity that Napoleon III did not follow this method, so the relationship between the husband and wife in the years after marriage was always good and bad, on and off.
However, at critical moments, the couple can still put aside their past grudges and face difficulties together, especially now that France is facing the challenge of Prussia in the north. How can Queen Eugenie sit idly by and ignore it? She must fulfill her obligations as a wife.
Even for herself and for the queen's luxurious life, she must return to her husband.
But I didn't expect that the scene would be like this when they met. Although Napoleon III did not drink alcohol or take drugs, he did use the devil's drink, absinthe, which has strong hallucinogenic properties.
See what this nonsense is all about? Look at the confused look in his eyes, his pupils are dilated. He actually called me an angel and wanted to suck breast milk in front of the attendant. If not, who would you slap?
After the loud slap, Napoleon III gradually woke up from the illusion. When he saw his long-lost wife, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
His eyes were red and swollen, and he hugged his wife, "I'm sorry...my Eugenie...I know you have suffered a lot, and I'm sorry for you!"
This time, Eugenie did not get angry, she did not push her husband away, and the two enjoyed the rare tenderness.
The attendants retreated quietly. Eugenie saw the pieces of information on the ground, and her brows began to furrow. "Is this Xiao Letian so arrogant? Is he really not afraid of French punishment?"
When it came to business, Napoleon III let go of his wife, reached out and found a confidential telegram from the table and handed it over. Eugenie took it and took a look at it. There was a shocking line of big characters on it: 'Revenge! Revenge against Xiao Letian! Revenge against the Chinese! '
This is the latest telegram sent by Viscount Ferdinand, which reports on the latest situation in Port Said. Of course, it also includes the information that Raku committed suicide and that he is seriously ill.
Eugenie's eyes were extremely solemn, "Oh God! You can actually force Ferdinand to become seriously ill? Force our diplomat to commit suicide by swallowing a gun? It seems that we have always underestimated him!"
Napoleon III rubbed his hair in pain, "Yes, we did underestimate this enemy... But what I am more worried about is not this, but what kind of trump card Xiao Letian has!"
"Anyone who is not blind in this world can clearly see the gap in national power between France and that bullshit Chinese. This is a huge gap that is almost as wide as the Atlantic Ocean..."
"We are the second most powerful empire in the world, and the Chinese nation is just a conceptual country until now, and has not been truly recognized by all nations..."
"With such a huge gap in strength, why does Xiao Letian still dare to challenge and humiliate us again and again? Is he really a madman? I think there is something wrong here..."
"If he was really a lunatic, a fervent believer in nationalism, then of course what he did would be understandable, but is he really?"
"Xiao Letian's attitude toward Prussia, the United States, and the United Kingdom is completely different. He behaves very civilized, courteous, and even humble in front of these countries..."
Napoleon III clenched his fists angrily, "Is he targeting me? Maybe he has a kind of confidence in his heart that he will win? Who can give him such arrogant self-confidence?"
"My queen, abnormal things become monsters. This is what the Chinese say. Xiao Letian has such an abnormal attitude towards France. Could it be that there is a big shot behind him..."
This is when Napoleon III swallowed his saliva, "Could it be that... the person standing behind him is the British? There is only one explanation, otherwise how could he not be afraid of us? We are the second largest empire in the world!"
This is the secret of suspicion. In the subconscious of Napoleon III, and perhaps in the hearts of successive French emperors, the island country across the strait was a threat.
In the minds of the French, the powerful France is invincible on the European continent. Only the island country opposite is its nemesis. Especially for Napoleon's defeat, people say that Tsarist Russia has the greatest contribution. In fact, the French do not think so. They think that the United Kingdom Talent is the ultimate force that determines France’s national destiny.
Xiao Letian was so confident that he was almost crazy. This abnormality directly stimulated the hidden worries deep in the Emperor's heart.
"It must be! Without the secret support of Britain, how could an Eastern barbarian and pagan dare to challenge the glory of our great nation!"
Queen Eugenie was also moved. She hesitated and said, "No...that's not right! When I visited Scotland, I met with many British MPs privately. They all told me that Prime Minister Benjamin was extremely disgusted with Xiao Letian..."
"Why should Britain support him? Is there any benefit to it?"
"Isn't it to counter the expansion of Tsarist Russia's power in the Pacific?" Napoleon III still stubbornly insisted.
Queen Eugenie shook her head, "No, the British may have balanced considerations, but they will never support such a tiger in Asia. This is not the behavior of a wise man!"
"Could it be that... it's Bismarck? Is Prussia backing him!"
