In 1853, a letter was sent from Austria, and Princess Sissi's aunt asked them to go to Austria, and the mother took two sisters, the eldest daughter who was originally introduced to Prince Franz.

Aunt Sophie also disagreed, but could not resist her son's wishes, and finally reluctantly accepted Princess Sissi.

In 1854, Sissi and Franz officially got married.

After 10 months of marriage, Sissi gave birth to an eldest daughter, but she was immediately taken away and raised, and without the consent of Princess Sisi, her mother-in-law Sophie named the girl Sophie.

Sissi gave birth to two daughters in a row, but she is still the same, she was taken away after birth, she has no custody, she is not happy at all, her mother-in-law is no longer that lovely aunt of relatives, but a dogmatic and conservative mother-in-law, everything is a rule, she is passive, and her husband is also weak.

In 1857, at Sissi's insistence, Franz took her and her two daughters on a visit to Hungary.

Perhaps it was the long-lost freedom that embraced her, she fell in love with it all of a sudden, and did not want to go back, but tragically, the child fell ill in Hungary, and the younger daughter recovered, but in the end the eldest daughter left her forever.

On August 21, 1858, Sisi finally gave birth to an heir, Prince Rudolf, after which Princess Sisi lived in Hungary for a long time on the grounds of ill health and never wanted to return to the cold royal palace.

In 1868, the youngest daughter Mavalerie was born in Hungary, and the basic relationship between Princess Sisi and Franz survived in name only.

In 1889, Prince Rudolf had an accident, and he, as the only son of Princess Sissi, chose to leave the world because of a bad marriage and political disagreements with his father. Since then, the disheartened Princess Sisi has often worn black, and her life has lost its life and become dull.

On September 10, 1898, 61-year-old Princess Sisi was assassinated by anarchists on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland and fell to the ground without a word. When Franz learned the news, sorrow came from it, he cut his wife's hair, and said sadly- "She will never know how much I love her." ”

She once regarded her marriage to Franz as a "prison" and was mean to those around her.

- Be mean to your husband

"Marriage is a ridiculous thing. Being betrayed as a 15-year-old makes promises that you don't understand, then regret for 30 years or more, and you can't get out of them. ”

Discord with her mother-in-law, unrelated relationship with her children, and lack of physical health, Princess Sisi blames all this on her husband Franz, so much so that she would rather take a picture with a dog than with her husband.

In fact, her husband is already very good as a prince, married for 44 years, Sissi has spent most of her time traveling abroad, refusing to have children because of her figure, and even introducing her husband to a lover. As an empress, she also did not fulfill her state responsibilities, and spent most of her life traveling, which was also her husband's indulgence in her.

- Indirectly killed the eldest daughter

Insisting on taking the child to Hungary, the child was unsatisfied, unfortunately fell ill, and finally left her.

- Marry the second daughter to his younger brother's love rival

Since the birth of her son Rudolphus, Sissi has been traveling, rarely in the palace, Gisela rarely sees her mother, and her brother is her closest relative. Although his appearance is average, he has a good temperament. Outside, Sissi once publicly disliked the appearance of her second daughter Gisela, and Princess Sisi said this when chatting with her son: "Gisela is ugly enough, and the child born is still so ugly!" ”

When it was time to talk about marriage, Sissi chased her brother after the girl she wanted, so she married her second daughter to her brother's love rival, Prince Leopold. The second daughter did not complain, ran her own life after marriage, gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and Sissi laughed at her granddaughter: "This baby is ugly and useless, but it can amuse Valerie (Princess Sisi's youngest daughter)".

- Be mean to your daughter-in-law, calling her a "fat camel"

"Ugly hillbilly." "Her long hair braids are ugly, and she has eyes that 'twinkle with a cunning gaze', oh, she's a fat camel."
