Forced by the political environment at that time, Austria and France signed a new peace treaty, which made it possible to end the intermittent war that began in 1494. Louis XV's successor is his grandson Louis August. In the plan, he should marry a daughter of Mother Maria Teresa. The original candidate was Mary's eighth sister, johanna. But in 1762, johanna died of smallpox, and Marie Antoinette became the next candidate. As mentioned above, the French royal family formally proposed marriage in 1766 and was accepted. In fact, not only Marie Antoinette, but also her sisters became pawns in this political game, and they married the royal families in Europe. The fourth sister Maria Cristina married the future Dutch governor, the sixth sister Maria Amalia married the Duke of Parma, and Marie Antoinette's best tenth sister Maria Carolina married King Ferdinand of Naples. When Queen Maria Teresa asked the prophet whether her daughter would be happy in France, he replied, "There is a cross to ensure this." 1770 In April, Marie Antoinette left Vienna before her 15 birthday and embarked on a marriage journey. The Queen's farewell message to her weeping daughter was: "Farewell, my dearest child. Very kind to the French people, so that they can say that I sent them an angel. " Of course, this is fake. What she should have said was, "Farewell, my dearest child. Be nice to the French prince, so that they can say that I sent them an angel. " The picture shows a full-length portrait of Louis XVI (oil painting), but it is hard to say whether this marriage is lucky or unlucky. Louis XVI was weak, indecisive and unresponsive, but at the same time he was very gentle, kind and generous. He is bloated and I'm afraid he is not handsome compared with Louis XV when he was young (refer to the portrait of Louis XVI). And it is said that there were some problems in his early husband and wife life. This rumor was widely circulated at that time, and it is unknown whether it is true or not. But it is a fact that the reaction is slow and the interest is lacking. He likes smelting iron, making locks and hunting, while Marie Antoinette is in her prime. She likes carnival, fashion, dance, music and art, and she should be as eager for feelings as ordinary girls. In the face of such a husband, whether she is satisfied or not, although it is impossible for future generations to speculate, it is not difficult for us to draw different answers. Even so, from the beginning to the end of this marriage, they were very harmonious, and there was no fierce conflict between the husband and wife. Moreover, France at that time also expressed its greatest enthusiasm and welcome to this "most beautiful Austrian princess". There are different opinions about the ostentation and extravagance of the wedding of two young royal families. But one thing is certain: this is a rare luxury feast. The royal families of Austria and France, in order to express their wedding joy and expectation of peace (which may also mean showing off their national strength), spared no expense to make the wedding perfect. All the royal families in France come to welcome the little princess, and only real aristocratic families are eligible to attend the wedding. 1770 May 16, Versailles, France, Marie Antoinette officially became the crown princess of France. 1774, 10 In May, Louis XV died of smallpox, Louis XVI ascended the throne, and Marie Antoinette became the queen. As a queen, Mary is just 19 years old. Marie Antoinette has too many responsibilities and pressures to face. To deal with the aristocratic ladies older than her, to know how to survive in the luxurious place of Versailles, to adapt to the intrigue between Austria and France, to correctly use the queen's rights, to know what to do and what not to do ... This is really a major test for her frankness and enthusiasm. Of course, none of this is a problem for the young queen. She is straightforward by nature and doesn't bother to think about it at all. She doesn't want to give a good face to someone she doesn't like, even if the other person is more noble (for example, Louis XV's mistress, Madame Dubali, who has been in power for a while, is said to have had enough of Mary's indifference and contempt). She doesn't even ask or care about the intrigue between politicians. Doing what she shouldn't do has always been her hobby, and breaking the royal rules makes her enjoy it. As for the queen's rights, she used them to satisfy her extravagant desires. Numerous expensive gems and fashions gathered in her palace, and the luxurious fashion atmosphere swept through the aristocratic life circle of France under her leadership. The Rococo artistic style advocated by Madame de Pompadour was also popular with the strong support of Queen Mary (for example, refer to the picture, this exaggerated satin skirt fully embodies the Rococo-style clothing art at that time and Mary's own luxury). She is happiest when she invites the nobles who hit it off with her to participate in all-night gambling, carnival and dancing. Whenever there is any whimsical new idea, she acts like a child, crying and making trouble, forcing her husband to realize it for her. And it often works. The cowardly and soft Louis XVI could not rule this charming little queen at all. She turned a deaf ear to his advice and gently reminded her not to go too far. Moreover, he is not the kind of person who can show the majesty of the king and criticize each other with one expression. As a result, amazing money was spent on her pleasure again and again. One of the most expensive projects may be the reconstruction of Little Trianon Palace, which was a gift from Louis XVI to the Queen, and the Queen made it more interesting with endless creativity. Later, according to statistics, the money spent on this palace is about 766 thousand francs! In France at that time, this was definitely an amazing number. While indulging in extravagance, she alienated those who really helped her, but got close to those young people who were keen on pleasure, and constantly used the power of the Queen to seek illegitimate interests for them. One of them, Mrs. pauline, benefited her family and even distant relatives and friends by tricking the Queen. The French Ministry of Finance spends as much as 500,000 yuan a year for the Paulina family! Of course, among these people, there are also "real friends" who appreciate Mary's personality and are willing to associate with her. For example, the gentle and sentimental Mrs. Lambard, after the outbreak of the French Revolution, Mary was imprisoned as a prisoner. Regardless of her own safety, Mrs. Lambard stood firmly on Mary's side and tried to help her, so that she died suddenly. Another person who played an important role in Marie Antoinette's life was Asid Fei Sen, a Swedish aristocrat. It is said that they met at a masquerade party when Mary 16 years old. At that time, Mary was still the crown prince. According to the regulations, she is not allowed to go out casually, but she happened to be there. Filson is handsome, humorous, witty and charming. At the same time, he is a political genius and can lead troops to fight. Filson, who is versatile and has leadership ability, deeply fascinated Mary and led her to have a relationship with him. Marie Antoinette's extravagant and frivolous style gradually spread, which triggered the famous "necklace incident" in history. Although it was later proved that Queen Mary was innocent in the necklace incident, her reputation declined. At this time, an anti-royal atmosphere is brewing among the French people. Mary became the target of public criticism because she rashly ordered the "execution of the bishop".
