"Your Majesty the Emperor, do you have any suitable candidates for marriage?"

The tall Pope Urban IX, wearing a white cassock 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 kept his eyes on 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. They looked 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 around.

After retreating a little further, Emperor Louis the Great turned around, looked at the Pope behind him who had always been loyal to France, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, please ask God now, my Sophie Marie.

Can Jisi marry the King of Shang?"

"What? Your Sophie Magis?" Urban IX was stunned, and the image of a charming young woman who turned all living beings upside down immediately appeared in front of his eyes. This woman was not Louis' Sophie.

Maggies, but her mother, a dancing girl named Maggies from a country.

This Maggies was originally a vulgar dancer from a lower-class background. With her angelic appearance and devilish figure, she wandered around Paris and became a "Baby". Later, she was captured by the famous playwright Molière.

She fell in love with the poet Racine, 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 named Sophie.

Maggies. But this Sophie Maggies grew up to be a little too beautiful and too tall. She was taller than all Louis' daughters. So Louis suspected that this Maggies had cheated on him.

....But at that time, Magis, Molière, and Racine were all dead. Louis could not verify it, and he could not drive out Sophie Magis, who might be his own daughter, so he had no choice but to leave.

Understand how to keep it.

However, the treatment of Sophie Magis was much worse than that of Louis' other illegitimate children. Not only was it never "legalized" (the pope has the right to declare illegitimate children as legitimate children), but she also did not receive any titles or titles.

With an annuity, there is no way to get married - her unknown identity makes it difficult to get married. The big nobles look down on her, and the small nobles dare not even think about it. It is impossible for her to even be a 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 is 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 Kingdom.

After all, there were only twenty to thirty thousand colonists in New France, and it would be impossible to defend it in a real fight.

I have to say that this 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 Leopard a big favor. It really kills multiple birds with one stone!

Louis asked, and of course Urban IX did not dare not ask. So he did not go to the church, but knelt down on the edge of the cross-shaped Grand Canal, then clasped his hands, faced heaven, and silently prayed and asked questions in his heart - or

As the old rule goes, silence means agreement!

"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 devil of the Ming Dynasty is very powerful!"

Thinking of this, he stood up and said to Louis: "Your Majesty, 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 chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This girl with doubtful identity 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

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 a person who can only watch from a distance, but cannot kiss her in person.

woman.

But her "father" Louis has never allowed her to call herself "the king's daughter", let alone "legalize it". He is not even willing to arrange a marriage for her, and is even planning to send her to Notre Dame de Paris.

Be a nun!

How reactionary!

This girl, who was deeply persecuted by the reactionary French royal power, was unable to resist, so she could only pray to God... But can God satisfy 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 men who married incest, and there are no handsome ones at all! Peter I and William III were handsome, but

They are not kings and do not meet the requirements.

But this time she has corrected her views on marriage and love. She doesn’t want 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, Louis, the adoptive father who had never looked down upon her since he was a child, actually showed up this time.

He smiled at her and called her "Dear Sophie"... This attitude frightened Sophie Maggies.

"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! She was so pious that she didn't look like the child of Louis the Great. No wonder Louis felt that she was 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?

When Sophie heard this, she 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 is what she has dreamed of, and she has been asking God for a long time...it actually came true today!

Wait, what do you mean by leaving France? Are you going to a monastery in another place?

"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 next to him thought she was unwilling, and quickly added: "My child, although the King of Shangfang is the son of the devil, he is actually a very handsome man.

Handsome king!"

The devil's son... The devil specializes in seducing people. How can he seduce a little girl if he is not handsome? So this devil's son must be handsome!

"Son of the devil?" Sophie Magis was stunned, "How could it be the son of the devil?"

Louis XIV explained: "There is now sufficient evidence to prove that Emperor Ming is the devil, and King Shangfang is the son of Emperor Ming, so he is the son of the devil... According to the agreement reached between Emperor Leopold and Shangfang

According to the armistice agreement, there will be a beautiful princess 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!"
