"Your Majesty the Emperor, do you have any suitable candidates for marriage?"
The tall Pope Urban IX, wearing a white robe and a white tiara, bowed behind Louis XIV and walked step by step along the waterside of the cross-shaped artificial canal in the garden of the Palace of Versailles. He looked at his nose and asked his heart, without even looking at the royal attendants, royal maids and royal mistresses who were waiting around Louis the Great, looking very virtuous and respectable.
Louis the Great stepped on his high-heeled slippers and walked in front with his head held high. When he heard Urban IX's words, he immediately stood still and coughed. The group of attendants, maids, and royal mistresses who followed him immediately turned and retreated further. Emperor Louis the Great then turned around, looked at the Pope behind him who had always been loyal to France, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty the Pope, ask God now if my Sophie Magis can marry. To the Shang King?"
"What? Your Sophie Magis?" Urban IX was stunned, and the image of a charming and captivating young woman immediately appeared in front of his eyes. This woman is not Louis' Sophie Magis, but her mother, a dancing girl named Magis from a country.
This Maggies was originally a vulgar dancer from a lower-class background. She relied on her angelic appearance and devilish figure to get around Paris and became a "baby girl". Later, she was spotted by the famous playwright Molière and poet Racine. She became the leading actress of Molière's troupe and got the opportunity to perform for King Louis XIV. Later, she naturally became Louis' mistress and gave birth to a daughter for Louis, named Sophie Magis. But this Sophie Maggie grew up to be a little too beautiful and too tall, taller than all Louis' daughters. So Louis suspected that Maggie had cuckolded him...but by then, Maggie, Molière, and Racine were all dead. Louis couldn't verify it, and he couldn't drive Sophie Marquis out, who might be his biological daughter, so he could only keep her in ignorance.
However, the treatment of Sophie Magis was much worse than that of Louis' other illegitimate children. Not only has it never been "legalized" (the pope has the right to declare illegitimate children as legitimate), but she has not received any title or annuity, and there is no way to get married - her unclear identity makes it difficult to get married. The nobles looked down upon her, and the little nobles did not dare to think about it. It was even impossible for them to be someone's mistress!
And Sophie Maggies, who was raised in Louis' court until she was in her early twenties and had become a personal beauty, suddenly became a hot beauty in Louis' hands - because outsiders who saw her regarded her as a Louis' royal mistress! This was really an injustice to Louis. Although Louis was lustful, he would not attack his own daughter or adopted daughter.
Therefore, Emperor Louis the Great was wondering whether he should send this beauty to be trained in Notre Dame de Paris...
Louis said to Urban IX with a serious face: "Your Majesty the Pope, I have decided to dedicate Sophie Magis to God. And it was at this time that Emperor Leopold wanted to find someone who was willing to serve God. I dedicate my young and beautiful baroness to my career to marry the son of the devil... Isn't this God hinting to me to send Sophie Maggie to marry the son of the devil? Ask God quickly , if this is really what you mean, then Sophie Maggie will definitely be willing to sacrifice!"
Urban IX already understood what Louis the Great meant—his intention was to confront the devil openly and marry the devil privately, so that he could control the intensity of the confrontation and avoid triggering a conflict between the Frankish Empire and the Ming Empire. Total War.
Once a full-scale war breaks out, the Frankish Empire will not be able to concentrate its efforts to establish its hegemony in Europe, and the French colonies in North America may also be annexed by the merchant countries.
After all, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 colonists in New France, and it would be impossible to defend them if they really fight.
It has to be said that Louis the Great's calculations were really good. While pushing Leopold and Kangxi Khan to the front line against the Ming Dynasty, he also threw an unknown illegitimate daughter into marriage with the Ming Dynasty... ..In this way, we can not only maintain the relationship with Ming Dynasty, but also gain benefits from it, and it also helps Leopter a big favor. It really kills multiple birds with one stone!
Louis asked, and Urban IX certainly didn't dare not ask. So instead of going to church, I knelt down on the edge of the cross-shaped Grand Canal, then clasped my hands, faced heaven, and silently prayed and asked questions in my heart - it was still the old rule, silence means yes!
"Oh God... Louis the Great of the Franks wanted to send his adopted daughter Sophie Magis to marry the King of Shang Fang, the son of the devil, and said that was what you wanted. If this is really yours It’s his will, then just don’t say anything.”
After asking, Urban IX waited patiently for another ten minutes... God still didn't say anything.
Silence is consent!
It seems this is really God’s will!
Urban IX thought to himself: "It turns out that God can also use honey traps. It seems that the Ming devil is very powerful!"
Thinking of this, he stood up and said to Louis: "Your Majesty the Emperor, God has agreed... God also said that the devils in the Ming Dynasty are very powerful, so let us deal with it carefully."
Upon hearing this, Louis XIV quickly crossed himself on his chest and said to Urban: "Your Majesty the Pope, let's go to the chapel together now. At this time, Sophie is probably there praying to God... .We just conveyed God’s will to her.”
...
"I want to get married, and I don't want to be a nun, Amen! I want to get married, and I don't want to be a nun, Amen!"
When Louis and Urban IX arrived at the chapel in the Palace of Versailles, the enchanting girl Sophie Magis, who served God wholeheartedly, was kneeling in front of the statue of the Virgin and praying sincerely!
This girl whose identity is doubtful is undoubtedly the most beautiful scenery in the Palace of Versailles. Every gesture, every move and every smile has the charm that makes all living beings fall for her. When she appears in front of everyone, she always attracts the admiring eyes of many men and the jealous eyes of women... But her special status makes her someone who can only watch from a distance, but cannot kiss her. A fragrant woman.
But her "father" Louis has never allowed her to call herself the "King's Daughter", let alone "legalize it". He was not even willing to arrange a marriage for her, and was even preparing to send her to Notre Dame de Paris to become a nun!
How reactionary!
This girl, who was deeply persecuted by the reactionary French royal power, was unable to resist at all, so she could only pray to God... But can God meet her request?
She had prayed to God before to become the legitimate daughter of Louis the Great, and she also wanted to be a duchess and then marry a handsome king - this requirement was really a bit high!
Not to mention the first two, the handsome king alone is just wishful thinking... Most of the kings in Europe are crooked melons and bad dates married to incest, and there are no handsome ones at all! Peter I and William III were handsome, but they were not kings and did not meet the requirements.
But this time she has corrected her views on marriage and love. She no longer wants a king or a handsome man, just a man. In short, don’t let her go to Notre Dame de Paris and face the legendary Hunchback of Notre Dame every day...
"Dear Sophie, what are you praying to God for?"
The voice of Louis the Great suddenly rang in Sophie's ears. She quickly looked back and saw Louis the Great and Urban IX coming in together. Moreover, her adoptive father Louis, who had never looked down upon her since she was a child, actually smiled at her this time and called her "dear Sophie"... This attitude made Sophie Maggie. Si felt scared.
"Your Majesty," Sophie quickly stood up and curtsied, "I am asking God to give me a chance to serve..."
She didn't say who she served...
Urban IX smiled and nodded - so pious! The pious one doesn't look like the child of Emperor Louis the Great. It's no wonder that Louis thinks she is not his biological child.
Thinking of this, Urban IX crossed himself on his chest and said with a smile: "My child, God has heard and agreed to your request."
"Papa..." Sophie opened her big eyes and was so excited that she burst into tears.
Urban IX said: "My child, our father in heaven has just agreed to your request and given you an opportunity to serve him."
"Woooo..." The beautiful lady was so excited that she cried.
Urban IX added: "My son, are you willing to sacrifice everything you have to serve God?"
"I, I am willing..."
I don’t want to and I dare not say it!
Louis XIV also nodded and said to Sophie: "Dear Sophie, I am ready to declare you to be my legal child!"
What?
Legalized?
Upon hearing this, Sophie quickly knelt down to Louis: "Thank you...my father."
Louis XIV smiled and added: "Also, before you leave France, I am going to make you the Duchess of Texas!"
Duchess?
Although Sophie Maggies doesn’t know where Texas is? But the Duchess was what she had dreamed of, and she had been asking God for a long time... and it actually came true today!
Wait, what does leaving France mean? Are you going to a monastery somewhere else?
"Father, what you just said before I left France was..." Sophie Magis quickly asked Louis XIV.
Louis XIV said: "God has given you a service opportunity that can best display your value... You will be sent to America to marry the king of the Shang Kingdom!"
My wish to marry the king also came true!
Sophie Maggies couldn't believe her ears... All her wishes had come true!
This God is really efficacious!
Seeing Sophie Magis in a daze, Urban IX thought she was unwilling and quickly added: "My child, although the King of Shangfang is the son of the devil, he is a very handsome man. Handsome king!"
The son of the devil... The devil specializes in seducing people. How can he seduce a little girl if he is not handsome? So this son of the devil must be handsome!
"Son of the devil?" Sophie Maggie was stunned, "How could he be the son of the devil?"
Louis XIV explained: "There is now sufficient evidence to prove that the Ming Emperor is the devil, and King Shangfang is the son of the Ming Emperor, so he is the son of the devil... According to the agreement reached between Emperor Leopold and the Shangfang Kingdom According to the armistice agreement, a beautiful princess will be married to the Shang King. But Leopid's princess is not beautiful at all, so he sent people to Europe to find it. And this is your chance to devote yourself to the cause of God! Su Fei, are you willing?"
Can you do it if you don’t want to?
Sophie Maggie thought to herself: "This is God's will! I have been begging for so many days and finally got it... If not, I will go to hell! And Louis XIV This irresponsible father means the same thing!"
Thinking of this, the beautiful woman puffed up her bulging chest, then nodded heavily and said, "Yes! For God, I am willing to dedicate everything!"
How pious!
Looking at Sophie Magis's erect breasts, Louis XIV and Urban IX both made the sign of the cross on their chests - with such a beautiful woman trying to use a honey trap, the King of Shangfang would definitely be fascinated. Pour.
Louis XIV said to Sophie again: "My daughter, prepare yourself. After a while, you and Archbishop de La Magala will set off for the Ming Dynasty."
"Going to Ming Dynasty? Aren't you going to America?" the beautiful lady asked without knowing why.
Louis XIV replied: "Negotiations are still ongoing... Archbishop de la Magarra will negotiate with Emperor Ming to finalize your marriage to King Shang. If everything goes well, you can cross Cross the Pacific Ocean and arrive directly at the capital of Shang Fang. Archbishop de la Magala and the Marquis of Mendoza will accompany you until you marry the king of Shang Fang."
Sophie Maggies is a bargaining chip! Is it okay not to let people see it? Louis XIV himself suffered this loss. His wife from the Habsburg dynasty painted her like a fairy, and her appearance in the oil painting was also amazingly beautiful. Only when he got married did he realize that he had been deceived when he saw the real person, and it was impossible to return the goods, so he had to bite the bullet... This incident caused him a psychological shadow, so much so that after his original wife died, he No matter what, I would not marry a "young and beautiful" European princess.
At this time, Louis felt a little sorry for this unclear daughter, so he added: "Dear Sophie, although King Shangfang is the son of the devil, he is actually a very rich king. The Ming Dynasty ruled by his father, It is still the richest empire in the world, glorious and powerful, dominating the east... The beautiful clothes you wear are all made of silk from the Ming Dynasty, the porcelain you use also comes from the Ming Dynasty, and your favorite Perfumes are also produced in the Ming Dynasty. As for the lacquer boxes you use to store jewelry, they are produced in Japan, a vassal country of the Ming Dynasty. Oh, and many spices used for cooking are also produced in the vassal country of the Ming Dynasty. "
Understood! Sophie Maggie said heartily: "I am going to marry a handsome and super rich son of the devil...and he is also a king! This is really exciting!"
