Chapter 3431 Winter King (VI)

When Constantinople was captured, the Hundred Years War between England and France also came to an end.

Starting in 1453, Henry VI began to suffer from intermittent mental breakdowns. Richard, Duke of York, was named regent and lord protector of the country. Not long after, the Wars of the Roses began.

When the red rose and the white rose merged into one, England entered the Tudor Dynasty again, and the era of Plantagenet seemed to be over.

If you look at the genealogy of Anne Boleyn's mother, Elizabeth Howard, the Norfolk family can be traced back to Edward I of the Plantagenet dynasty, and then through marriage with the Buckingham family, the genealogy was linked to Edward III. After the Duke of Buckingham was beheaded in May 1521, the Norfolk family became the largest aristocracy in England.

In comparison, Anne Boleyn's father's family was much more ordinary. Her great-grandfather, Geoffrey Boleyn, was just a silk merchant, although he later became the Mayor of London.

She did not target the king from the beginning, and not many people would have thought that "Porse" would bloom in the British court again in this way.

There is a word "apatheia" in Greek, which means "desirelessness". This desirelessness is not only physical happiness, but also means giving up passion and becoming "one's own master" while giving up.

"I beg you, tell me your thoughts clearly and clearly. Are you willing to fall in love with me? I must get this answer. The arrow of love has hit me. The wound has been more than a year old. Can I have a place in your heart?" , but I still can’t be sure.”

The king used "beg" in his letter to Anne, as if Anne was his "master" at this time.

When you are thirsty, you want to drink water. If your desire to drink water is satisfied, this will also produce happiness.

From the letters Henry VIII wrote to Anne Boleyn, we can see that he really loved her.

When Elizabeth succeeded to the throne, she gave up the European continent and turned her attention to the ocean and the Age of Discovery.

The "Queen of Innocence" is not really "innocent". Just like her mother Anne, she is always surrounded by suitors.

But Elizabeth was not married, and not only did she wear a wedding ring to her country at her coronation.

The Hundred Years War, which was long over in the eyes of the world, was not over in the eyes of Henry VIII. After marrying Anne, he needed a son to be the "head" and wear the crown of France more than the "position in Anne Boleyn's heart".

A marriage without passion is like "apatheia". Without the things that I pursue passionately and cannot make the decision myself, "I" become "my own master".

However, if the fish that bites the hook knows that it will never get the bait, it will give up pursuing the "illusive thing" and start chasing other goals.

Obedience requires the other person to completely give up all their will, give up their own desires, and act in accordance with other people's judgments and orders.

Love is the most suitable weapon for women. At the same time, in order to keep this "weapon" sharp, women need to keep themselves beautiful.

Queen Elizabeth tried to lead a fashion, and she spared no effort in dressing herself up. However, most Europeans still prefer Titian's Flower Goddess to her face that is heavily smeared with palace powder. Her delicate and healthy skin is full of youthful charm. vitality.

When Georgiana followed the French wizard to the small room, she first thought she saw a group of sculptures, a man with antlers holding a disk in his hand, and some animals crawling at his feet.

Later she discovered that this was not a set of sculptures, but the base of a mirror. The disk was a huge mirror.

She didn't see anything unusual about it except that the "base" was so high that when he raised the mirror, the person standing in front of it couldn't see him at all.

The same goes for Fredley. As a Muggle, he tried his best to look calm, as if he had seen many "big scenes".

"What's wrong with it?" Georgiana asked.

"What do you think it looks like?" the wizard asked Fredly in a mocking tone.

"It looks a lot like some kind of pagan god." Fredley kept smiling.

At this time, Georgiana remembered the "Celtic knot" she saw on the back of the mirror when she was looking at the sculpture.

"This is cernunnuos, the god of nature in Caet." Georgiana said to Fredly. "You can also call him the king of animals."

The wizard was disappointed with Fredley's performance.

"But I remember that he usually held the crucible, or the relief on the crucible." Georgiana looked at the mirror, "What's wrong with that mirror?"

"Please wait a moment," the wizard said, raising his wand and adjusting the angle of the mirror. Georgiana's reflection appeared in the mirror.

"Oh, you are truly the most beautiful fairy I have ever seen." Mirror said in an exaggerated tone.

There was endless flattery, until the French wizard angled the mirror to face the air.

This kind of talking mirror is very common in the wizarding world, and Georgiana does not think it is dangerous. Although most "full-length mirrors" will advise users to improve their appearance, even the Weasley family has one.

"So, that's Snow White's stepmother's magic mirror?" Fredly asked in surprise as he looked at the mirror.

"That's just a fairy tale." The wizard said, as if he had also heard of the Muggle fairy tale.

However, there was indeed such a witch in the history of wizards. She used a beauty potion to turn herself into a beautiful woman, married the king, and used a mirror to constantly praise her appearance.

"Fire destroys all tricks and maintains the truth for a long time. That is gold. The truth is the most difficult to hide." Georgiana said.

"Which philosopher did this come from?" Fredley asked Georgiana.

"I'm not sure. This is what I saw when I read Leonardo da Vinci's manuscript. He used mirror characters when writing these words." Georgiana said.

"Oh, I've heard of it." Fredley said in amazement, "That kind of words really look like mirrors?"

In fact, Leonardo da Vinci wrote very sloppily, and she couldn't tell that it was text at all. It was introduced to her by the person who was responsible for managing his manuscripts.

"He said in other manuscripts for teaching students that for him, shadows are the most important. Without shadows, spheres and cubes cannot be recognized unless they have a color difference with the background." Georgiana said, "These words are not in mirror characters."

Fredley frowned.

"I know, it sounds contradictory, right?" Georgiana smiled. "He uses hidden words to write about what cannot be hidden."

"Isn't it the relationship between light and darkness?" the wizard asked.

"A painter should be like a mirror, always reflecting the reality of the object. He also suggested preparing a mirror so that the imperfections in the painting can be reflected." Georgiana said, "Painting makes the object appear like a relief."

"Reliefs are different from paintings." Fredley said.

"Of course, because there are subtle emotions in paintings, if the characters in the painting do not fully express their inner intentions, art is dead." Georgiana said.

"You should go and see the reliefs in Siena, they are three-dimensional." Fredley immediately continued.

Fredley was talking about high reliefs, while Denon was better at shallow reliefs, similar to those carved by Egyptians on the wall, which have commemorative significance.

At this time, she remembered a student of David who was troubled by painting an oil painting of Napoleon because his style was more impressionistic than David's neoclassicism.

Being half a step ahead of the times is a genius, being one step ahead of the times is a madman. Even when the Impressionists were about to debut, they were met with a lot of sarcasm and doubt.

But the painting is really good. The red flag is like a burning flame. However, if you use a mirror to look at it, you may find that it does not conform to the perspective. However, if you change it for the perspective effect, you may lose the "burning" effect.

"Who wants to drink brandy?" Georgiana asked.

Fredley and the wizard were stunned.

She walked away humming a song with a mysterious smile.

Dumbledore was "desireless", but he finally lost the desire to live. Pain can make people sober, but people need to have something to make themselves happy when they are alive. People who live in hell are always suffering and suffering day and night.

She thought she was like a person buried in the snow, about to freeze to death, and needed the sun to warm her soul. Unexpectedly, she was like a high-concentration liquor, and was set on fire by a painting.

Although she also wanted to drink fire whiskey, she felt that brandy was closer to her.

The wine in the Ciconiara wine cellar was almost gone, and Georgiana searched for a long time before she found a bottle that "slipped through the net".

She opened the cork and drank directly from the mouth of the bottle.

This way of drinking is very different from pouring it into a glass and shaking it to make the wine "wake up". The last time she saw Bonaparte drinking like this, she was still thinking that girls should be more elegant.

"What a fool." She said mockingly, raised the bottle and took another sip.

"You are free, Isabel." After she said that, she sighed and looked at the empty wine rack again, as if it was time to "restock".
