Many people think that The Monilie Empress of Cambodia is very happy, her husband is the king, her son is still the king, she went from princess to queen, and later became the empress, and when she was the queen, her husband King Sihanouk was still alive. When Empress Monilie was in her seventies, King Sihanouk, 90, died, which can be described as a white head.
Empress Monilje not only had glory and wealth, but also love. Although she was the sixth concubine of King Sihanoukville, she came to the fore and became the Queen of Cambodia. Three years after she married King Sihanouk, King Sihanouk not only abandoned his former concubines, but also did not take in new concubines, and lived a monogamous life with her, husband and wife, married for more than half a century, at least a golden marriage.
Throughout ancient and modern history, many queens who have a good relationship with their husbands often have a bad relationship with their sons, but Empress Monillet not only has a good relationship with her husband, but also has a good relationship with her son. Queen Monilie's son, King Sihamoni, was very respectful of Empress Monilie, and the feelings between mother and son were harmonious, and Empress Monilje always took her son's arm to attend various occasions, and even when she went to Beijing for a vacation, her son had to be personally sent to pick her up.
Many people generally become estranged from their mothers after getting married and having children, and devote themselves to their own small families, and their mothers become outsiders. King Sihamoni, on the other hand, remained unmarried, wifeless and childless, and accompanied Empress Monilie. Empress Monilie's son was really born to herself, and she belonged to herself all her life, and she did not have to compete with her daughter-in-law for her son's love, nor did she have to be angry with her daughter-in-law.
And Empress Monilje has a flower and moon appearance that ordinary women do not have, and the beauty of women is a kind of capital, pleasing herself and others. Natural beauty is a blessing. There is a saying that good looks are cultivated in previous lives. Not only did Empress Monilie possess extraordinary beauty, but she was also born into a wealthy merchant family and never knew what poverty was all her life.
Some people say that Empress Monilie was able to grow old gracefully because she had spent her whole life in glory and wealth. Working women go to the fields to farm, the wind and the sun, there is no way to be as elegant and beautiful as her.
In this way, Empress Monilie is really happy to the extreme. Indeed, Empress Monilie was a very happy woman, but her happiness was not perfect.
Empress Monilie had two sons, and King Sihamoni, who was arm-in-arm with her, was only her eldest son, and she also had a younger son, Prince Nolindalabang. Prince Norindala was mentally ill, idolized Pol Pot at a young age, denounced King Sihanouk as a feudal remnant, and died of a heart attack in Paris, France, at the age of 49. Therefore, The White-Haired Man of The Empress Monilie sent the black-haired man, which was very sad.
Both of Empress Monilie's sons were born before she was 20 years old, and she did not have children after the age of 20. The second concubine of King Sihanoukville, Princess Phongsan Moni, fell out of favor in her early 20s, and even so, Princess Phongsan Moni gave birth to seven children, four sons alone, and was fruitful in childbirth.
Although most of Princess Ponsan Moni's children were killed during the Pol Pot period, her two surviving sons, Prince Euwana and Prince Shakapon, had many children, and Prince Chaghampon alone had 14 children, including eight sons. This means that Princess Moni of Pengshan has more than a dozen grandchildren, while Empress Monilie has not a single grandchild. Of course, Empress Monilje had two granddaughters, born to the wife of her second son, Prince Nolindala.
If Cambodia has always maintained a constitutional monarchy, and the next king is still a descendant of Sihanouk, then the next king is likely to be the grandson of Princess Poonsan Moni, and definitely not the grandson of Empress Monilie, because Queen Monilie has no grandson.
And Empress Monilie is 16 years older than King Sihamoni, and if Empress Monilie is particularly long-lived, she will die later than King Sihamoni, then she will once again send a white-haired person to a brunette, and this son is still her most obedient and beloved son.
Of course, I hope that this situation will not happen, and King Sihamoni is kind and benevolent, hoping that his old man will live more than a hundred years and accompany Empress Monilie to a hundred years later.
Queen Monilie was 85 years old, and she lived twice as long as her lovers. But longevity also destroyed her beauty, when Empress Monilie was a perfect beauty, the national color is heavenly, and now she is an old lady with white hair, who can't see half of her beauty. Since ancient times, if the beauty is a famous general, it is not allowed to see white heads in the world. Beauty is late, which is really regrettable.
Looking at her aging face in the mirror, thinking about her own style and splendor, and then looking at the young girl's youthful and pink cheeks, how should Empress Monilie think?
Although Empress Monilie was a very happy woman, the winner of Sihanoukville's harem, and she was much happier than Sihanouk's other concubines, her happiness was not perfect. Where in the world is there perfect happiness?
