Harry Potter's Morning Light Chapter 1898

Chapter 1898 Father'swatch (6)

"Snapped".

Severus heard a gunshot.

He looked up at the sky, unknowingly it had turned red, and a cloud looked like a phoenix.

"Since you are talking about the Order of the Phoenix, you still claim that you can't reveal where their headquarters is, do you?" Bellatrix asked in the house in Spider's End.

"I'm not a secret, and I can't name the place. I think you know how that magic works in Britain, right?" Severus said slightly, "The Dark Lord told me about the information about the Order of the Phoenix that I passed to him." Very satisfied. You probably guessed it. My intelligence led to the recent arrest and killing of Emileen Vance, and undoubtedly helped to solve Sirius Black. However, it turns out that you are the result of his life. ."

He tilted his head and raised his glass to greet Bellatrix, her expression didn't relax at all.

"The shell missed. We hit a mound." Severus and a "sailor" of the "Captain on Land" said when they were drinking, "He and Edward Jenner are in a luxurious carriage. , John expected Napoleon to pick her up himself, and set an ambush on the road... But I have to say that the mound suddenly appeared, and I saw it with my own eyes."

Severus remembered the news that he read in the Muggle newspaper: the body of a woman was found near Downing Street, and the gangster tried the law in the prime minister's backyard.

In the few contacts between the wizarding world and the Muggle world, protecting dignitaries is also one of the tasks of the Auror. This task is mainly to prevent the Muggle Prime Minister from being attacked by the dark wizard.

Emilyn Vance is a female agent, but Pomona is not, not to mention that French dwarf is not worthy of protection by a British woman.

Severus thought of Lily who had died because of his intelligence. It seemed that this had become a curse. Whenever he regained his identity as a spy, a woman died.

He has never been to see Emilyn Vance's husband, a man who has lost his wife. Of course he has no time to see it, and why should he go?

'You should give up. '

He seemed to hear Bellatrix whispering behind his ear.

'She is dead and you are dreaming now. '

"No." Severus said, covering his face, which caught Lucius's attention.

"Are you okay?" Lucius asked.

Severus did not answer him.

"Wow."

A barking dog caught Malfoy's attention.

"What a big dog." Lucius said, "and it's all black."

Severus put down his hand and looked at the black dog Lucius was talking about.

It saw Severus looking at him, so it turned and left.

Severus immediately followed.

The hygiene habits of the nobles in Versailles are not so bad, but as seen in many places, there are often long lines in front of the women's toilets. There are only a few toilets in Versailles. If the nobles are willing to give some tips to the attendants of the nobles , They can also use their toilets, 40 gold louis last time is not a small amount of money.

What's more, the toilet is set up next to the courtyard, which is also convenient for fertilizing the flower beds, so the male nobles directly found a corner to solve it, and it was called fertilization.

When Versailles was designed, the issue of launching was not considered, not to mention that it was built on a swamp wasteland. In order to achieve that the Sun King turned Versailles into the "center of the universe", many construction workers who participated in the construction died, and its foundation was not strong at all.

As the hunting palace of Louis XIII, Versailles was surrounded by forests. When Louis XIV lived in Versailles, many nobles had no place to live. They had to go to nearby cottages or even bring their own tents to solve the housing problem.

Even if they lived in a miserable life, they couldn't stop talking about the decoration of the palace. Painting scrolls, tapestries, brocades, silverware, statues, and halls and suites dotted with oriental luxury goods. Fun (lesplaisirsdeI'lleenchantee feast of the lattice garden, including foreign nobles, are eager to receive invitations to these gatherings.

After falling in love with Versailles, you will feel normal about Fontainebleau, and the Louvre is more like a village.

Fukai lives very smartly and has many lovers. Kobel, who succeeded him, was the opposite of Fouquet. He never thought of fascinating all living beings. All the wealth left by Mazaran after his death was left to the king, including scrolls, books, houses, and 18 named after Mazaran. A huge diamond, these are illusory to the cardinal, and his most important asset is Korbel. When Fouquet was convicted of corruption, his daughter was "fortunate" to become a frequent visitor to Versailles. Mazarin's 7 nieces were quickly taken into the asylum by the Queen Mother of Austria after they came to France from Italy. The younger ones were even allowed to study with the king and prince, almost giving the sisters the status of princess. .

The difference between a protector and no protector is like whether to wear armor on the battlefield. The hereditary system of inheriting his father's career is almost the basis of the social structure of Versailles, whether it is a high-level power or a low-level gardener. If the generation does not want to inherit, he can also sell his official positions. As long as the king agrees, most public positions, including military positions, can be sold.

Or you can go the other way. The king likes smart and funny people. At the same time, the king also likes flowers. Although the designer of the garden objected to this, the king pointed to the window. The maids could open the window and look at the flower bed. Fresh flowers while breathing fresh air.

The king's fascination with flowers was also the reason for the construction of the first Trianon Palace. This is not a rare occurrence. The relatives of the king's brother's wife are often the king's "minder nursery." Louis XIV's appearance is not very outstanding, and his height is not very high. After the death of Austrian Anna, the king whom she called "child" began to act with a mature and independent personality.

According to French historical rules, if you recognize a wife, you will also recognize a mistress in public. This mistress is actually equivalent to the second queen. Generally speaking, the child she gave birth to is at least a duke. After the death of Austria's Anna, Louis XIV immediately announced that Miss Valillier was his nominal mistress, and made her daughter a duchess.

Lavalier is a country girl, an excellent rider, but she is puzzled by the chaos in the palace.

She has a pair of beautiful blue eyes, often filled with tears for no reason, her tears almost melted Louis XIV's heart.

Later, the king was busy with the Spanish throne war and the construction of Versailles, so he didn't have time to pay attention to her crying. Among the countless mistresses announced by the king, Lavalier was no longer his partner.

At that time, Versailles was like a huge construction site. Countless plants were transplanted, about half of them would become dead wood, and then new plants would be transplanted. Mrs. Montespan's name was Françoise when she was baptized, but she later found out that this name was not suitable for him, so she changed her name to Atenais. She entered the palace for the first time in 1660, when the king and the queen were married. That year, the court maid who served as the king's younger brother and sister was a member of the "nursery".

The king didn't care much about her at that time, he was busy flirting with his younger siblings, Henriette of England.

At that time, Saint-Germain gathered many Stuart nobles in exile. After the entertainment feast in 1668, Louis XIV began to form an alliance with Charles II to conquer the Netherlands. At that time, few people would realize that if two If countries coexist peacefully, then the prosperity of the two countries will be realized.

Compared to unmarried women, adultery with married women is a bigger scandal, and even the king should avoid suspicion. Henriette in England at the time instructed the king to pretend to be pursuing one of her servants, Louis de Lavalier, and the disguise became a reality. Louis XIV, who is surrounded by so many flowers and state affairs, certainly doesn't care about a pure girl, but Atenais is determined to become the most beautiful flower in the "nurse nursery", making the "gardener" inseparable from her. Three years after the king and the queen were married, she married another man. The idea remained unchanged. Her blue eyes remained on the king's body, so she found the famous witch Lavazan at the time.

Lavazan is different from the traditional witch who holds a magic wand, with a big nose and an ugly face, lives in a forest or a dirty alley and spends her days thinking about conspiracies and tricks. She looks like a loving mother who lives in In Saint-Denis's villa, where she often holds elegant violin music parties, there are many friends from all walks of life.

She will give customers various exquisite suggestions to satisfy the wishes of the girls, such as plumper breasts, smaller mouths, fairer skin, etc. Some of the goals that will be achieved by surgery in the 21st century are in Lavazan. Buying a bottle of "medicine" or "powder" can be achieved. For unrequited love, she also has a way to make the other person fall in love together.

In fact, Mrs. Montespan didn't need these things. She had two children after four years of marriage. If she were a good wife and a good mother, she should have peace of mind, but her ambitions were always ready to move. She felt that the time had come. She prayed, "Please Let the king fall in love with me, please let the queen be abandoned, please let the king leave Lavalier and never look at her."

God might not agree with this kind of thing, but the devil might not refuse, so at the banquet in Versailles in 1668, Madame Montespan, who had sprinkled some kind of "glamorous perfume", appeared in front of the king.

At that time, Lavalier was pregnant, and the queen was addicted to gambling. This is another hobby of many women with unfortunate marriages besides shopping.

In addition to playing cards, there is another kind of roulette called hocca. This game is forbidden by the Papal States. The police in Paris also issued the same decree, but it was flooded in the court and even the king himself played.

In addition to gambling, there are dramas, concerts and dances. The king is obsessed with music. On summer nights, he sails on the canals in punts. The violinist stands on floating platforms and plays. These punts and boatmen are sent by the Republic of Venice. As a gift to the king, he even built a small village on the water, called Little Venice. At this time, the king noticed Madame Montespan.

As the king said, he likes funny people. That day she was talking and laughing with Mrs. Scaron, the future farmer of Mante. God knows how she was talking and laughing with a "female scholar".

The king's love history is probably like this, first pretends, then comes true, and then the new mistress takes the place of the predecessor unknowingly.

Like many men in the world, Louis XIV also liked blonde and blue eyes, but Mrs. Montespan was not born blonde.

She found Lavazan again. The witch gave her a kind of powder, which would turn into Venetian gold when she put it on her head. She also insisted on drinking a liquid every day, the so-called secret recipe, which can make the skin Keep the luster for the day, the figure is graceful, and the blue eyes become more dreamy and charming.

Paper cannot contain fire after all, and the Marquis de Montespan, who was also obsessed with the Versailles banquet and gaming tables, soon learned that he was “wearing antlers”.

Their marriage is not perfect. Atenais's family once appeared as a member of the slingers. She originally had a fiance, but died because of a duel with the brother of the Marquis of Montespan, and the Marquis of Montespan did not have a second son. Inheritance, he inherited the title as soon as his brother died.

The family of the Marquis of Montespan is inferior to the Atenais in all aspects, but the scandal made them come together, and they were happier at the beginning.

If you change to another man, you may be happy to know that your wife has become the mistress of the king, but the Marquis de Montespan put on a mourning dress and went to see the king.

The theme of that night was "Bacchus' Love", and the garden was sprayed not with perfume, but with wine.

The king asked his minister to change his perfume to see him, but the Marquis de Montespan smelled of alcohol, which was very impolite, and he came by his own car, but the king still met him.

Looking at the Marquis de Montespan who was drunk and dressed in mourning clothes, the king asked him, "Are you in a mourning?"

"Yes, for my wife." answered the Marquis of Montespan.

In the face of such a person, Louis had nothing to do, so he had to expel him from Paris and exiled him to a small castle in the south. Later, he mobilized a crowd for a funeral, which was held for Madame Montespan.

The king expelled him from the country, and he still talked about them everywhere when he went abroad.

But he left a line on his will after death: I still love my wife deeply.

Year after year, Louis XIV's fame rose, and Versailles became famous. With Charles II's return, he brought French fashion back to England. At that time, Britain experienced a very depressing Cromwell rule, and the new atmosphere brought by Charles II gave him the nickname of the Merry King.

Many European palace tycoons are also learning from France to build their own Versailles, while Korbel has cleverly used this fashion trend to promote export trade, and luxury goods factories have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. The Palace of Versailles is not only the palace of the king, but also a showcase for commodities.

As the queen of the palace, Mrs. Montespan was happy for some time. She had more suites than the queen. One of them was next to the king's suite. The house faces south and faces the courtyard. It was a later occupant in the 18th century. It was completely renovated and turned into Louis XVI's study, which is where the table where he left a statement when he fled.

In order to decorate the room as she likes, Mrs. Montespan put two bears in and wreaks havoc. Her room was also changed beyond recognition, and only the windows remained the same.

Just as the king said to the garden designer, when the garden is full of flowers, the maid can open the window and breathe fresh air while looking at the flowers in the flowerbed.

Napoleon also played cards, but he was not easy to bet. His favorite game was reversi (reversi), a game in which the fewer points scored, which was also a favorite in the court of Louis XIV.

But compared to playing cards, he prefers to play billiards. The Diana Hall of the Tuileries used to have hunting-related weapons and prey specimens. Now there is a billiard table with only one deer head still hanging. On the wall.

Most people will chat and drink when playing pool, but there are not many people playing together. Those who are eligible to enter the billiard room of Diana Hall are similar to being able to watch the king's wake-up ceremony or watch him eat up close.

New dynasties, new rules, not everything is the same as before.

"Snapped".

Across a long distance, Haji could hear the sound of billiard **** coming from "Windsor Castle", and even if a murder occurred, it seemed that he could not distract the people inside.

Haji took a sip of honey water.

Not everything is the same as before, but it seems that some things are still the same as before.

What should I say? Life is like a play, fate is impermanent?

It's a cliché to say that, and it certainly won't make people feel novel.

But Haji's level is only like this, after all, he is just a rough man.
