From ancient times to the present, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a difficult problem.
Even a beautiful and beloved woman like Princess Sissi is just a poor person who lost to her mother-in-law.
When Sissi was stabbed to death in Geneva at the age of 61, Franz was so grief-stricken that she patted her chest and said:
"No one knows how much I love her".
Is it true? If it was true love, why did Franz let go of Princess Sissi's hand and let her wander abroad again and again, year after year, and finally died in a foreign land for no apparent reason?
It is said that the love that lets go is the real love, but if you really love, you are reluctant to let go, unless you think about putting this love on the shelf. Unbeknownst to Franz, the love he gave to Sissi was far less than the reality of being controlled by his mother.
As the daughter-in-law of the Habsburgs, Mrs. Sophie gave birth to two sons, and the husband was not an emperor, so their family had no possibility of becoming an emperor.
But Madame Sophie was strong and ambitious, and when Ferdinand I was forced to abdicate, her husband, Archduke Karl, had a chance to ascend to the throne. Unexpectedly, his daughter-in-law personally ruined the dream of Archduke Karl: to give up the throne to our son.
Sophie's son was Franz Joseph, who was only 18 years old that year, who knew nothing and was strictly disciplined by his mother since he was a child, and who was the child who always stood behind his mother and shrunk back.
Because of this, the aristocracy of the time had such a saying: Mrs. Sophie was the only man in the Habsburg.
A woman who has lived as a man, needless to say, is strong, and the means are naturally good.
However, I have to say that Franz's fate is made in heaven, he obeys his mother's opinions on big and small things, but he disobeyed his mother on a blind date, and did not accept Princess Sissi's sister, but took a fancy to the 15-year-old Sissi at a glance.
In this way, Princess Sissi has become a little thorn in the eyes of her mother-in-law Sophie, even if she should call her mother-in-law an aunt, she still has to be played with by her and controlled in the back house.
Princess Sissi, who grew up in the countryside, is beautiful and innocent, she has married from Bavaria to Austria, she has no one she knows, her mother-in-law is strict, her husband is a mother-in-law, and she obeys her in everything, such a life is simply suffocating.
Mrs. Sophie's first dismissal to her daughter-in-law was not to establish rules, but to share her son's intimacy with her: on the morning of the second day of the wedding, she asked her son how he was having sex in front of her.
At that moment, I'm afraid that the 16-year-old princess Sissi just wants to find a crack in the ground to get into.
But the "dutiful" Franz calmly shared his feelings about the wedding night with his mother, while his mother-in-law just hoped that the Habsburgs would soon welcome an heir.
Princess Sissi is unhappy, from life to spirit, her mother-in-law has to ask about her big and small things.
She became nervous, coughing, anxious, and losing her lustre.
But this did not arouse any sympathy from her mother-in-law, on the contrary, she constantly pointed out the rustic atmosphere of Princess Sissi, and used all kinds of court red tape to restrain her and oppress her.
Ten months later, Princess Sissi's eldest daughter was born. At that time, the mother-in-law didn't say anything, after all, it didn't matter if the first child was a boy or a girl.
It's just that she didn't put the child next to Princess Sissi, the reason: "She is too young to raise the child at all", so the child was taken away, and even used her own name, and directly named "Sophie".
In the face of such a mother-in-law, which daughter-in-law would accept it and face it calmly? But Franz is always absent in such conflicts, and even if he is present, he only silently watches the confrontation between the two women.
Another year passed, Princess Sissi gave birth to her second daughter, and her mother-in-law still copied the old path of her eldest granddaughter and took her away directly.
Moreover, this time it was quite unfriendly, because the daughter-in-law gave birth to another daughter, and the daughter-in-law who could not give birth to an heir would not be respected.
The only guidance that Madame Sophie gave to Princess Sissi was to concentrate on her body and give birth to the crown prince as soon as possible.
Even, she put a booklet on how to become a qualified queen on her daughter-in-law's dresser, so that she would see her responsibilities every day.
Depressed, depressed, or depressed, Princess Sissi took out the most energy to exercise and dress up herself, she pathologically believed that only if she was beautiful enough could she truly live her dignity and be recognized by her mother-in-law.
In fact, Princess Sissi is useless, her existence is the only "evidence" of her son's disobedience to her in her life, and she is always stinging with the strong her, how can she accept such a daughter-in-law?
So even if Princess Sissi gave birth to her son Rudolph later, it was still the end of being robbed of the child by her mother-in-law.
At that moment, she finally despaired, let go of her loyalty to Austria, let go of her dependence on her husband, and wandered alone in various countries.
Princess Sissi, who does not return to the royal family, has always been healthy, and as long as she returns to the Austrian harem, she will be unwell, and she will have various health problems. So she gave birth to 3 children without companionship, and she didn't know how to get along with her children at all.
This reality directly caused Princess Sisi to become estranged from her two children (the eldest died when he was one year old), and even caused her son to have psychological problems.
Although Sissi gave birth to her fourth child again and raised her single-handedly, she still couldn't understand the psychology of being a mother. Her love for her youngest daughter was overindulgent, which accelerated the estrangement of her second daughter and son from her.
But who can blame all this? At that time, Mrs. Sophie had already died of heartbreak due to the death of her youngest son, and Princess Sissi could completely take over the power of the harem. It's just that she doesn't want to, and she doesn't want to, and she still ...... in Hungary and Geneva every year Lingering.
In the aristocratic circle of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Princess Sisi was famous for her beauty, her waist never exceeded 50 cm, and her skin, her skirt, and her long hair were the most noble.
It is not strange for such a beautiful princess Sisi to get Franz's love, but the love he gives is just letting go, and when she encounters wind and rain, his love is always far away.
It wasn't until her son Rudolph committed suicide that Princess Sisi figured out that she had actually "died" since the day she married into Austria, and was killed by her mother-in-law, Madame Sophie, and that the later Princess Sisi was nothing more than a walking corpse.
As a result, Princess Sissi became even more lonely from then on, dressed in black, alone, from place to place, just not wanting to return to the harem where she had the final say.
Princess Sissi also remembered that she had resisted her mother-in-law, but the tragic death of her eldest daughter made her no longer qualified to fight. Only far away, only loneliness is her right place in this world.
Sixteen years after the death of Princess Sissi, Franz finally closed his eyes at work, and to his death he was accompanied by a strand of his wife's hair and his mouth chanting her name: "My Angel Sissi......
But this is the life and fate of Princess Sissi, who was loved by her husband in her heart, but was beaten into hell by her mother-in-law, and she just exiled herself, but sacrificed her own happiness and the happiness of her children, and her life was beautiful and helpless, and her life was depressed.
