Mrs. dubari came from humble origins. When she was about 20 years old, she met Count Dubari and was introduced to King Louis XV. She is more than 30 years younger than the king, which rekindled the king's enthusiasm in recent years. In order to give this non-aristocratic royal lover a proper residence in Versailles, the king married her to Count Dubari, who disappeared without a trace on the wedding day. Then, Versailles staged a funny scene-the old king introduced his lover to the whole court as new noble. In this court, Mrs. Dubari, who came from humble origins, quickly seized power. For her, it is only a matter of words to build a palace, grant an official position and use the money from the state treasury. She handed down the most gorgeous clothes and brought the most expensive jewels. Her car was inlaid with glass, and the room was covered with famous paintings by the most famous painters of that time. All her material needs can be provided by the king without complaint. In her reception room, foreign ambassadors, courtiers and provincial nobles always waited in line for her call, and all the glory that the court nobles could expect was bought by her-a woman with no aristocratic blood and poor birth-with youth and beauty.

But Mrs. Dubari has one fatal flaw: she is vain; She was born in poverty and belongs to the "nouveau riche" that our court talked about, so she became more vain. She is not satisfied with enjoying her rights, but also hopes to be "recognized" by the aristocratic lords who oppress her from generation to generation, and hopes that the highest nobles can treat him well, including the new Crown Prince Maria Antoinette.

From the beginning, Maria Antoinette didn't expect to be involved in such a hard struggle. She is lazy by nature and doesn't like red tape and intrigue at court. Her mother warned her many times not to get involved in politics, but to play the role of the prince's wife. However, people in the court (especially the ladies) have lived in the shadow of Madame Dubari for a long time. She is not as noble and cultured as they are, but because she is young and beautiful, she has more prominent power and wealth than them. They and their husbands and families have to kneel at her feet, which makes them feel uncomfortable and resentful. The king's three daughters, in particular, were born to occupy Mrs. Dubari's position, but because they are not beautiful, grumpy and old girls, they have no influence on their father at all, just three wandering souls in the court, so no one wants to curry favor with them. They tried to deal with Madame Dubari, and Maria Antoinette became the best tool.

These three aunts advised their nieces to ignore Mrs. Dubari, which was originally the privilege of senior ladies to junior ladies (senior ladies can't talk to junior ladies before speaking). Maria Antoinette is partly because of her novelty and partly because of her strong sense of morality (which was passed on to her daughter by the Grand Duchess). After entering the palace, she didn't talk to Mrs. Dubari once. She had a pleasant conversation with every lady. In the past two years, only Maria Antoinette gave Mrs. Dubari a taste of failure, which she could not accept. The hostess ran to her protector and asked him to intervene. At first, Louis XV only mentioned this problem to Maria Antoinette's advisers and female officials. As a morally corrupt grandfather, how can he ask his granddaughter to be kind to mistress? But these general warnings have no effect. Maria Antoinette always thought it beneath her to condescend to greet the king's mistress.

On the one hand, Louis XV couldn't stand Mrs. Dubari's endless crying, on the other hand, he couldn't stand that someone openly regarded his orders as nothing, and finally decided to solve the matter himself. Count Mersey, the Austrian ambassador, felt that the situation was very serious. If the relationship between the king and the crown prince and princess breaks down before Maria Antoinette gives birth to an heir, then both the marriage and the Franco-Austrian alliance may be destroyed. He wrote to the Grand Duchess Maria Tracy, hoping that she could intervene. Prior to this, the Austrian court has been paying attention to the development of the whole thing, and all the suggestions were issued by the parliament, because Maria Tracy of Gao Dexun herself could not tolerate the existence of such people as "imperial prostitutes". Now, for the benefit of the country, she has to turn her back on her beliefs and send a letter of condemnation to her daughter. She asked the crown princess, "Is it so difficult for you to say hello to an elder and a close friend of the king?" "How dare you disobey the king's will!" This letter shattered Maria Antoinette's will. Although she complained weakly to her mother out of face, she finally said eight short words to Mrs. Dubari at the 1772 New Year's party: "There are so many people in Versailles today." Since then, for the sake of Mrs. Dubari's damaged reputation and the privilege brought by her noble birth, she has never said a word to her again.

1774, before Louis XV died, Madame Dubari was sent to Luer Castle. She thought the king would recover so that she could return to the court, but he didn't. Louis XV died at Versailles, and Madame Dubari was happily forgotten after ten years in power.
