The father who died young, the restrained childhood, and the restless personality destined Victoria not to engage in this planned marriage. She was afraid of the boring life of life, the loss of power, and the denial of herself...There are too many too There are many reasons why she is unwilling to be reconciled to this marriage. At this moment, although the seemingly fragile and sensitive prince was silent on this, his noble and intelligent heart made him disdain to surrender to this noisy or even a little ignorant woman, because Victoria completely inherited the Hanoverian dynasty, superficial and imperious and immortal. The quality of not changing, so at the age of seventeen, the first encounter between the two did not arouse many ripples!
In the year of Victoria’s 20th birthday, the entire London woman moved for a man. Because of the arrival of the young Russian crown prince, the future Alexander II, his demeanor, his demeanor, and his unrestrained nature all made these elements. The proud woman folded her noble head. Of course, the young Victoria is not one of the remaining independents. At this moment, she makes no secret of her love for the 21-year-old crown prince, but the newly-emerging emotions between the two are based on the balance of national interests. Died quickly. The Queen's marriage was quickly put on the agenda of the British Parliament. The lover Prince Albert, who had been appointed by the Queen's mother and uncle Leopold, went to Windsor as scheduled.
While the queen was waiting restlessly and bored, the independent and decisive prince had secretly made up his mind to come to London to end this ambiguous situation.
But the meeting between the two caused a great reversal of all this, and the vicissitudes of life in an instant. The moment the elegant and handsome prince came to Victoria, the sun shone on his blond hair, shining brightly, all the anxiety and boredom disappeared under this brilliant, and time seemed to freeze the moment at that moment. Forever, in the years to come, it will dispel all the loneliness and gloom in Victoria's heart, and it will be beautiful and never gloomy. This encounter made Victoria feel that all the happiness she once thought was nothing but a sand fortress, which could only collapse in an instant. So she disregarded the queen's majesty and reservedness, did not hesitate to propose to him, and he respectfully accepted the order, as the prince of the small German state of Saxony, the marriage with the Queen of the British Empire is not only the glory of him but even this country.
In 1839, with youth and beauty as the splendor, supremacy as the dress, and the British Empire as the makeup, Victoria married Elbert. In Victoria's view, Elbert is so flawless and so beautiful, so beautiful that everything in the world is nothing but dust compared to it. He opened up an unknown new world for her, lighted up the vast way forward for her, and she was able to accompany him, this kind of happiness, for her, surpassed all the glory of her life.
But he is not as happy as her. Although he promised her, "You will be the only cherished wife in my life, and I will grow old with you." But the loneliness of leaving home, the status of a foreigner, the embarrassing position of the royal family...numerous factors make it difficult for Albert to taste the abundance of life satisfaction. And her subjects are also full of rejection of him. The non-British looks are so weird, and the staid personality is annoying. More importantly, the blood that is not as honorable as hers even occupied the body and mind of their queen. On the other hand, Elbert's meticulous and knowledge-hungry personality also prevented him from integrating into British society. In his eyes, those British people of course include his wife. They indulge in games and enjoyment, sway in the waves and gloom, and feel contented. Laziness and disorder...In short, Albert has too many conflicts with the lifestyle of this place!
In this way, in the official rhetoric of the queen and the officials, and the confrontation between the prince and the scholars, the two clashed again and again. Until one day, after another fierce argument, Elbert slammed the door tightly, and Victoria was not to be outdone and beat the door outside. The prince who knew who the person was, asked fiercely, "Who is it?", his words were full of arrogance and disdain. "Queen of England!" Victoria's answer was also full of arrogance and domineering. There was a long silence, nothing happened, speculation inside and outside the door, waiting. Still Victoria couldn't hold back. "Boom, boom, boom." There was another knock on the door. "Who is it?" Queen of England! The door was still closed, there was still dead silence. The knock on the door sounded again. Only this time it was obviously softer. "Who is it?" "Your wife, Albert. "In front of her husband, Victoria finally let go of all her majesty, and the door opened immediately.
This quarrel was another opportunity for Albert. He had no clear status and authority, and he began to have the right to participate in national affairs, and As he showed his talents in resolving events such as the "maiden crisis" and "diplomatic crisis", he became more and more dependent on the queen. Victoria became more and more like a little girl, snuggling tightly by his side. Follow behind him, devote all his love to him, trust him without principle, worship him, believe that he is omnipotent, believe that his talent and wisdom can solve all problems with ease. And as time goes by, Egypt Albert’s influence on state affairs became greater, and the prince in Victoria’s heart became more and more like the boundless sea, inclusive of everything and possessing everything. He completely conquered Victoria and became the true uncrowned king. Recognizing and consolidating Albert's status and rights, after a year of quarrel with Parliament, he was given the unprecedented honorary title-Prince Consort.
Just as Victoria unreservedly handed over his soul to Albert's hands, Albert was doing all he could to return this feeling. From very early on, Elbert answered her tedious and boring state affairs in a simple and simple way, compiled countless documents for her, and erected a well-organized direction in her life... Spring goes and autumn comes, Year after year, every morning before dawn, the green writing desk lamp in front of Albert's writing desk lights up quietly, reflecting Albert's posture at his desk, like a heavy sculpture, unchanging It was a meticulous and diligent attitude, but what changed was his increasingly rickety and exhausted figure. A mountain of documents, mechanized imperial machines, and endless government affairs ruthlessly ruined Albert's body. The once handsome boy has quietly disappeared, and people saw this handsome man in the game. The opportunities for her are also getting less and less. For her huge empire, he dedicated everything in his life and gave up his beloved music, art, philosophy, mathematics, mechanical astronomy... all of these The things I love in my heart.
What's more serious is the loneliness and loneliness in his heart. The identity of a foreigner, no matter how cautious and diligent he is, he can’t exchange for the realization of his desire to transform the country’s lazy and vain nationality, but he knows that he can’t do it, with the tragedy of a strong man breaking his arm. His background color, he is like a gear, on this huge state machine, turning and turning, until the rust is mottled.
But Elbert’s influence on the United Kingdom is beyond doubt. With his assistance, the United Kingdom created a flourishing Victorian era in which the economy, military, diplomacy, art and culture were all prosperous. There was even peace under British rule in the world; he made Prussia rigorous. , Rational and pragmatic character infused into the blood of the British, making the Victorian moral level unprecedented; he cared about the people’s livelihood and worries about the world’s worries, established a new image for the British royal family and cared about the well-being of the people, and laid the foundation for the consolidation of the British monarchy .
Since marrying Albert, Victoria has always regarded Albert as the perfect specimen. His words are her wishes and her imperial decree, and his behavior is the norm for their 9 children, and his preferences represent With the most noble taste in the world, this almost blind love is no exception even when it comes to treating one's own children. Her favorite child is the eldest daughter, Princess Percy, because she is so cool. She loves this daughter rather than the shadow of Elbert on her body. And the Queen hates her eldest son Patty, the later King Edward VII. She thinks that poor quality is an incurable swinger, because he is not like Elbert at all, and Elbert is her. The only criterion for perfection in the mind.
As a result, when Albert's body gradually weakened, Victoria, who regarded Albert as the whole world, was also entangled every minute by the fear of losing him. She did everything she could for him, read for him, played the piano for him, painted for him, walked with him, cared for him and cared for him, and even wished to inject her vigorous vitality into his body, because she knew that she The vitality of her husband is exchanged bit by bit for the vitality of her husband. However, none of these can change his haggardness day after day.
On a cold and rainy day in November 1861, Elbert, who was inspecting the facilities at Sandburst’s new military academy, contracted rheumatism, and then the eldest son Patty’s romantic scandal forced him to drag the sick to Cambridge to solve the problem. Question, this time he suffered a fatal wind chill. A few days later, Yibu was also behind Victoria. Elbert, who had sheltered her from the wind and rain for twenty years, collapsed at this moment. Too tired, he lost the desire to survive. He said to Victoria in front of the hospital bed: " I am not attached to life, and I do not value it. If I get a serious illness, I will surrender immediately. I will not struggle for life. I have no attachment to life."
Elbert's sudden and prolonged death was almost fatal to Victoria. Losing him would mean losing everything to Victoria. The whole world was already dead for her, and she was ready to die at any time. She intends to write the same sentence every year on Elbert's Memorial Day: "Your death is a huge tragedy, and my life has been shattered since then." And her stubborn, willful and selfish nature was quickly exposed after losing Elbert's restraint. She commemorated him almost abnormally, missed him paranoidly, and indulged her grief for almost a lifetime. All live under the cover of this huge shadow. For a long time, she was isolated from the world, refused all kinds of state affairs, refused to set foot in London; she forbids laughter and banquets in the palace; his room in Windsor Castle has always been the same as the day he died; she touched him every day. She didn’t get rid of her mourning clothes until she died, and she prepared clothes for him every day for the remaining 40 years of her life; she never forgave her eldest son, strictly forbidden him to involve in government affairs, and even this disgust spread to her eldest daughter-in-law; Under her initiative, large-scale cultural centers, riverfront avenues, bridges, and expensive monuments were built in all parts of the UK to commemorate Albert; she ordered scholars to repair his biography for more than ten years, and reviewed every detail and biography. He was not allowed to have a trace of his flaws, until stroking the biography of grief; she even stipulated that every boy of the royal family's descendants should have Elbert in the name...
In 1902, she had a foreboding general. The arriving Victoria went to the Isle of Wight, a place that Elbert loved. Many years ago, during those golden hours, Elbert planted flowers and grasses here. His blonde hair sparkled in the sun, and she was sitting next to him, looking up at him. He looked back and smiled, and this smile blended in. He and her indescribable everything, her love, her piety, his guardian and his pity. On this day, she saw this extinct smile appearing in the sunshine on the Isle of Wight. It was so beautiful and quickly dispelled all the sorrow and haze in her heart, all the exhaustion and pain, all the helplessness and despair, she knew , This time, he would never abandon himself again, leaving himself alone in the world-she smiled back at him, and gently put her hand in his.
Perhaps in this world, there is always a soul mate, fortunately for me, but for my life.
