The friend who recommended me to watch said that she liked middle-aged Henry the most, because at that time he was in his prime, the most mature, rational and powerful. And I love Henry when he was young, even though he was impulsive, reckless and immature at that time, he was more sincere and lovable.
Henry had six wives in his life, but he actually had seven, but one of them, strangely, did not become a queen and became Henry's nominal sister-in-law, second only to the queen and the princess.
Henry's first wife was his brother's widow, who married Henry as a virgin. Henry married her because the old king wanted the fat and water not to flow to outsiders and did not want to lose her inheritance. The first queen, Catherine, was the princess of Spain, the most powerful country in Europe at the time. She was also the most elegant and noble of Henry's previous queens. She gave birth to the princess marry to Henry, the future Mary I. Henry was reluctant to accept the marriage from the beginning, because he believed that marrying his brother's wife was not God's permission and would be punished for doing so. This guilt lingered with their marriage, fermented after Katherine never had a son, and eventually led to the breakdown of their relationship. Catherine has few smiles on her face. Her calm face and elegant posture always reveal the majesty of the mother world. This kind of nobility makes people irresistible and respectful. She had left Spain alone and came to England, without any support, and in the court of intrigue, her faithful and unwavering love for her husband was the fortress of her heart, the source of all her strength. She is actually an exceptionally patient woman. Regarding Henry's romance, she has always maintained the restraint and turned a blind eye as a queen should. But a man is an animal that can never be influenced, especially for a cruel and ruthless person like Henry, sincere love cannot move him at all. Henry and Catherine were a political marriage, full of exchange of interests, this big sister-like woman who accompanied him growing up, and their marriage for more than ten years was ultimately just a fait accompli. When he abandoned her, he did not Too much hesitation and struggle.
Amberlin was Henry's second queen, and she had been Catherine's maid. Amberlin's story fully proves that what it means to be a mess is always repaid. But my favorite is still the role of Amberlin. I love women of all kinds, because they are not only beautiful, but their unique qualities and souls. Amberlin didn't love Henry at first, she approached him and seduced him just for the family benefit. An Bolin in history was not beautiful. For a man like Henry who was extremely addicted to beauty, she was able to capture Henry's heart for a few years because of her personality and intelligence. The actress who played An Bolin in the TV series just rightly showed An Bolin's distinctive charm. She was not beautiful, but charming. Clever, cunning, and bold made her very different from the women of that era. Among Henry's many women, she was the only one who dared to have a head-on conflict with Henry, but her brutality and arrogance finally destroyed her. At first she made Henry unable to extricate himself with hard-to-play means, and later used the conflict between Henry and the Holy See to incite Henry to abolish Catherine. At first, she fascinated Henry like that, and their affair was nothing short of thunder and lightning, and Henry's fanaticism for her reached its peak during the outbreak of the Black Death. Lady Ann, a woman who is loved by thousands of people, is smart, cunning, conceited, and full of charm. When she stole Henry from Catherine at first, she never thought that there would be such a day when she would be her own maid who robbed her husband in the same way. The very important reason why Henry abandoned Catherine was because Catherine could not give birth to a son, and Henry thought it was God's punishment for him. He and An Bolin naturally believed that An Bolin would definitely give birth to a son for him. But it seems that the more obvious things are, the less likely they will come naturally. Amberlin's first child was a girl. The red-haired girl, despised by Henry and Amberlin, was one of the greatest monarchs in British history, Elizabeth I, known as the Virgin Queen, who ushered in Britain's golden age. Of course, Henry and Amblin, who are sleeping underground, will never know. Henry's disappointment is obvious. In fact, his feelings for her have been worn down by nearly a decade of religious lawsuits, and when her promise to have a son for him has been broken again and again, his feelings for her have been destroyed. Nothing is left. At this time, the woman Henry called the love of this life, Jane Seymour, appeared. Jane Seymour was a very beautiful woman, and she was Amberlin's maid. The road to the top of the two Very similar, there is also an ambitious family behind Jane Seymour. They sent their daughter to Henry, seduced him, tried to make her queen, and then the chicken and dog ascended to heaven. Jane Seymour has a gentle personality, with a gentle and kind face like an angel, and more importantly, her beauty, she easily won Henry's heart, and what is even more ironic is that she borrowed the method that An Bolin wanted to refuse to welcome back. Henry, fascinated him even more. Henry's affair with her was exactly the same as his affair with Ambolin back then, except that Ambolin was pregnant with Henry's child at this time. But Amberlin didn't have the restraint and patience that Catherine had in those days. Her arrogance and arrogance made her explode like a shrew when she saw the cheating Henry. Her crying didn't change Henry's mind, but instead caused her to miscarry, and the miscarriage was a boy. Henry was so sad when he learned the news of Amblin's miscarriage, but it wasn't the sadness of remorse, but the sadness of anger, and he yelled at Ambolin that you ruined my son. The ending of not having a son and queen is destined to be tragic. At that time, An Bolin may not have really realized the seriousness of the consequences.
At the beginning, I thought Henry loved Ambrose very much, because he fought against the crowd for her and rejected the queen who had been with her for more than ten years, and even fought against the Holy See. He sat on the trial of the Inquisition for her. Xi, he made her his queen. More importantly, their relationship back then was so enthusiastic, it was a frenzy that destroyed the world and seemed to destroy the world. The stronger something is, the easier it is to corrupt and disappear. Later, when he decided to hang Amblin, I finally realized that he didn't love her that much, or that his love had been mixed with too many things. I always thought he did so much for her because he loved her, but he didn't just fight for her, she took advantage of his conflict with the church, which helped her and ruined her. Later, when people accused her of cheating, people wanted to kill her. Henry's anger at first was real, he hated the woman she loved for betraying her. But he is so smart and sensible, he may not know that all this is a false frame, but he is willing to believe that he has been betrayed, because she needs to die, the church, Rome, the intricate power struggle makes her must die. The forces that he offended in name for her in fact for himself are now ready to move, and someone has to pay the price in blood. She is an unfaithful woman, a cheating woman, a woman who cannot give birth to a son, so she should die. If she dies, it will all end. Those opposing forces will gradually subside, and someone will always be the scapegoat.
At first, I thought he loved her because that was the woman he loved so passionately when he was young, but then I learned that he didn't love her that much. When Catherine died, he cried like a child, and when Jane Seymour died, he cried like he lost his life. However, Ambolin's death, he did not shed a single tear. This part of the TV series was particularly tense. She is locked up in the Tower of London and he is with his new love. Regarding the execution of her, he hesitated at first, then became anxious, then angry, and finally returned to calm. Amberlin looked back on her life before she died, and she understood what love was better than him. If she can finally treat herself as someone who stays out of the way as she did at the beginning, if she doesn't love him, she will be sensible, and she will not let herself fall into such a doomed abyss. She loved him and was as stupid as all the women around the king. She went to harm Catherine, she went to harm Jane Seymour, she desperately wanted to have a son, but she didn't know that they were getting farther and farther away, and for a king, love went as naturally as love came. There is no heart without heartbreak. Wanting to monopolize a powerful man is doomed to tragedy, no matter how beautiful or enchanting you were, no matter how infatuated or obsessed he was, it was just a flash in the pan.
I think Henry was hesitant and heartbroken, but his cold blood, his cruelty, and his desire for power made him prefer to destroy the woman he loved. After Ambolin was beheaded, Henry had someone kill the loving pair of swans on the lake. Fierce and greedy light reflected in his cruel eyes, and the bloody flesh remained on his mouth. Immediately it started to reveal itself. This is what he calls a freshman.
Henry's third queen, Jane Seymour, seems to be a good person. Although she is also a junior, but in that era, who was not a junior. She is not a good person, but she is not a bad person, she is smart and knows how to protect herself. She wears the mask of an angel and is called the most beloved woman in her life by the cruel Henry VIII. She was on good terms with everyone, Mary, Elizabeth, and most importantly she had a son for Henry. This is simply the greatest honor in the world, the greatest affirmation of a queen, and the greatest achievement of a king's woman. But such a person is destined to live not long, because all virtuous women are suffering in their hearts, and they work hard in disguised happiness, and she is destined to see God early. She was always remembered by Henry for this son, and was treated with the highest courtesy. She was called by Henry as the only light in this dark world, the kindness and beauty of everything in the world. Henry decided to be buried with her when he died.
I don't have much interest in seeing Henry's subsequent queens. At that time, he was getting older, and his power was so high that he could have any woman as long as he wanted. He loved beautiful young women, such as Catherine, and he spoiled her as much as he could. But petting is different from love. Pets can be people or animals, but they are not equal in any case. Just like a pet, being petted, it is impossible to be on an equal footing with its owner.
In the story, I will always love young boys. Although they were naive, young, passionate and impulsive at that time, they were more direct and real. As they grow up, as their desires grow, their abilities grow, they gradually disagree with their words and deeds, they will pretend, they will become cruel, they will become terrible. Love between young people is more likely to be equal love. Like I love the love between him and Amberlin the most because it's the only relationship I feel is real and close to equality. He loved her and said he was willing to be her most loyal servant. She talked to him about her thoughts, she could deny him, and she would lose her temper with him. At first, he was willing to tolerate it. In the end, he regained the nature of a monarch. This is the end of Amberlin's story. There was an equality of mutual respect between Catherine and Henry, because her nobility as a princess and her fidelity as a wife would not allow anyone, not even a king, to blaspheme. There was also a kind of equal love between young lovers in the early days between Amberlin and him. At that time, she was confident and proud, thinking that she would have his love forever, and the king at that time was still young and not so cold-blooded.
Henry's later women are all typical king's women, they are fat and thin but are essentially pets, even Jane Seymour, the love of Henry's life. They masquerade in front of him, flatter, please, and make him happy. And he spoiled them condescendingly. He is an aloof king, giving and taking back his love as he pleases. Beautiful people are like beautiful things, they should be possessed by him. After possessing them, he gets tired of them quickly, and then he throws them away like a piece of clothing or a painting.
An Bolin reminds me of Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan is an enhanced version of An Bolin, they both didn't love that man at first, and then his strong love made her dizzy, making her fall in love and finally realized that she was just an ordinary one among many women. She broke her heart, and then there was no heart to break. It's just that Zhen Huan was luckier than An Bolin, she woke up earlier, and after a period of silence, she was full of blood and resurrected. Because she doesn't love him anymore, she is more cruel than him, because she doesn't care anymore, she will get his heart easier than before.
The love of a king is smeared by all beings, rain and dew. Since ancient times, men in power have been like this. The centralized monarchy allows the emperor to enjoy the beauty of the world, while also requiring the beauties to be loyal to him. In modern society, men in power still can't get rid of the feudal decay. They live among thousands of flowers and will not give up the entire forest for one tree. Maybe it's not that they don't want to, it's that they really can't, because they can't. But fortunately, today's women are not as sad as the women of that time. Power is the best aphrodisiac. The ancients persuaded that being the mistress of a powerful man is by no means demeaning to you, especially in today's open atmosphere. He can play with you, and you don't have to be loyal to him, you can change your home at any time. It's just that there will always be women in this world who are dazzled by love and who are extremely young or beautiful or smart and conceited that they will become the love of these men in this life, and will become the terminator of his lingering flowers. But they will never understand or be unwilling to believe that being the love of this life comes at the cost of life. The dead Chun Yuan and the dead Jane Seymour are the love of this life, because the dead can be perfect without flaws.
I used to believe that love has only one attitude, but in fact, love is in all shapes and sizes. Women dream of a man who stands at the pinnacle of power and who can hold his son's hand and grow old with his son. There was nothing to ridicule or accuse at the time. Love is an illusion. The more beautiful and intense things are, the more ephemeral they are, and everyone flocks to them like moths to a fire. And long-term things can be seen everywhere, no one cares, and they are worthless at all.
