Faced with an absolutely powerful mother-in-law, Elizabeth began her tragic court life.

Speaking of the first wedding night in the privacy of the European courts, King Johann of Saxony said of his night in the cave with Sissi's aunt Amalie: "All the married princesses accompany the bride home with their courtesy, watch her go to bed and pray together, and then arrange her to bed, and then the bride's courtess must report to him that he may enter the cave." Accompanied by all the married princes, he went to the bride's bedroom, where he had to go to bed in the presence of the princesses and princes, and when the family members and others had left, he had to get up again and finish his bedtime grooming. ”

The Chinese used to get married in the cave room, sometimes there was a bit of trouble, but then it seems that no one else opened the European court, and people almost watched the bride and groom or something.

Elizabeth and Joseph did not face this situation, but the few remaining rituals made it difficult for her to accept.

Her mother accompanied her into the cave room, and after arranging for her to bed, Sophie went to take Joseph to the cave room, and then wished them a good night by the bedside, while she buried her handsome face in a pillow that was half-covered by her hair, like a frightened bird that hid in its nest.

It's acceptable if it's just like this, but the next morning, the two mothers appeared at the breakfast table of Sissi and Joseph at the same time, and interrogated each of them about everything last night, and it turned out that Sissi and Joseph were too tired last night, and the husband and wife of the night of the cave room did not go on, so it was not a simple and simple matter.

Then this matter spread throughout the palace that day, and then to the ears of those relatives, and then spread to the entire aristocratic society, so that everyone knew about it, and then little Elizabeth would have to face the test of countless curious eyes of the aristocratic society.

How should a person live a free and easy life, and suddenly he is constantly watched, and he has to report to the watcher what he has done every hour of the day?

In order to turn Xiao Sisi into the queen she designed in her mind, Sophie "trained the young queen and the emperor" to Xiao Sissi, who was only 16 years old after marriage, like a primary school student. ”

For example: "Once the Emperor took the young Empress to Vienna, and little Sisi stayed there all day, but when they returned to their lodging in Larsenburg in the evening, Sophie ran after them, and harshly rebuked the young Empress for how inappropriate it was for her to run after her husband and drive the carriage like a cadet officer." Later, there was no later, anyway, the same thing didn't happen to Xiao Sissi later.

Even during the so-called honeymoon, when the young couple had their only dinner together, it was not just the two of them, a flanking lieutenant of the Imperial Front always sat next to the Empress, "to assist the Empress in entering into conversation, for she was too reserved and had to be socially trained." In the same way, the steward of the court was entrusted by Sophie to stay one step away from Sissi in order to correct her every mistake.

And Sophie has to check Sissi's "homework" every day and listen to a report on what she has done every hour, and Sissi has no one to talk to, according to Sophie's will, Sissi is not allowed to trust anyone, otherwise her supremacy will be damaged, and as a result, Sissi feels extremely lonely all the time, and her husband, the young emperor Franz Joseph, does not think this is an abnormal thing, he grew up like this, and even he even regards loneliness as a sign of royal status, Because he learned it from his mother.

It was Sophie's "system" that the "isolated" Franz Joseph did not have a close relationship with his brothers, they were all on isolated islands, which gave them more authority than others and protected them from the influence of others. ”

It is said that a child's first teacher is the mother, and now it seems that a good family education is very important, especially when it comes to family affection.

It should also be noted here that Xiao Sissi was at the age of sixteen. This age is the time of adolescence, that is, the age of rebellion, the age of challenging all authority, in modern times, for children of this age, the method we use is basically based on grooming, that is, you can't screw it, you have to touch it, don't go against it.

But Sophie is a very strong woman, she decides everything about this child according to her own intentions, what will be the result of such a result, you don't have to think about it to know that the confrontation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is inevitable, and the final situation even develops to the point of either/or.

Okay, let's stop here, the princess Sissi trilogy in the movie is similar to this, but there is less little Sissi washing her face with tears every day, especially the scene where she secretly hides in a study and writes letters to her relatives with tears, and there is also the matter of Princess Sissi and her best sister Helenny talking privately in English, at that time it was very vulgar to talk in English in the court, and the language used by noble nobles to talk was French.

In general, Sissi was not happy in her married life, and she used her way to escape court life, illness or flee abroad.

On August 27, 1865, the eleventh year after her marriage, she submitted the following written statement to the Emperor: "I demand full authority in all matters concerning children, their circumstances, where they live, and the manner in which they are educated, in a word, all by me until they reach adulthood." In addition, I also demanded that all matters concerning me personally, including the selection of the people around me, the place where I stayed, and all the arrangements in the inner palace, were all in my decision. Elizabeth. Yu Ischer.

This document, in fact, her Declaration of Independence, openly rebelled, and was victorious.

At this time, Elizabeth's beauty had reached its peak, and as she grew older, she also knew how to use the chips in her hand, and she clearly knew that Franz Joseph knew her obligations clearly, and would do it well, and she knew that the emperor would meet her request, because it involved the reputation of the royal family, which was actually a kind of blackmail, but the emperor gave in, because he was still in love with his wife, who was becoming more and more beautiful and mature.

Elizabeth raised the issue of children's education at this time, and it was really the then crown prince Rudolph Jr. who had an accident in education, and the little guy was about to be tortured to death at that time.

Rudolph Jr. was remarkable from an early age, he was extremely intelligent and precocious, and at the age of five he was able to converse with people in four languages, and in terms of language ability, it is estimated that he inherited his father's genes, Franz Joseph could speak eight languages.

This little guy has a rich imagination and extraordinary tastes, but he is weak, often sick, emaciated, and cowardly by nature, and his character is presumably inherited from Elizabeth.

The Emperor wanted his crown prince to be a brave and robust successor, and that he should be a good soldier in the future, but this was not the case with Rudolph the Younger, and as a result, at the age of six, he ushered in the dark period of his life, and he began to receive the strict and even cruel training of the new instructor, the Count of Gondelögu: "To train this cowardly and weak child in the same way as he treats soldiers, until he is exhausted, and to strengthen his mental and physical strength." ”

2 In fact, this training method was not a special training method at that time, but a normal education method for junior cadets, but the problem was that the little Rudolph was too young, he was only five years old but had to face the training method of teenage children, and because it was to follow the emperor's will, the little prince had to become an excellent military officer, so the training was extremely strict.

After a year of such rigorous military training, Rudolph Jr. became extremely nervous and became ill, not so mild, that the most serious consequences --- death was foreseen.

In this way, Elizabeth's Declaration of Independence was born, and it also meant that Sophie gradually faded out of her life, and could only go to relatives to cry about her treatment.

After being rescued by Elizabeth, Rudolph Jr. quickly recovered his health under the guidance of the new instructor, but the psychological disorder, especially the fear that appeared at night, lasted for many years, even life. Here is a reminder to everyone not to be too demanding of childhood children, and not to pull out the seedlings to help them, otherwise little Rudolph may not end up on the road of suicide.

Elizabeth was the first to educate Rudolph the Younger, and his teachers were no longer necessarily military, clergy, or noble, but were selected according to their level of knowledge.

As a result, Rudolph's teachers, with the exception of religious classes, were all intellectuals from the burgher class, the majority of whom were clearly on the side of liberals and at the same time opposed to clericalism, and the whole was clearly anti-courtly education.

In accordance with the empress's clear wishes, Rudolph became a first-class young man of many cultures, educated not only by the democratic ideas of 1848, but also by the fact that "the foundation of the modern state" was not in the aristocracy, but in the burghers. Through the teachers of the burghers whom he admired, he became a liberal himself, inevitably in serious opposition to the court system that his father represented.

Unable to confront the Empress, all of the Empress's enemies turned their hatred on her son, Rudolf, who was similar to her and much weaker, and the conflict between Elisabeth and the Viennese court ended in tragedy for her son, which is why she wore black after Rudolph's death, and she was giving funerals to the Vienna court.
