The feelings of the things who can not be said, everyone has their own opinions about love. Some people will fall in love at first sight with someone they have never met, and even fall in love.
For example, Napoleon and his first wife Josephine, when Napoleon first met Josephine, he was attracted by her face, at that time Josephine was a single mother with two children.
But this did not affect Napoleon's love for Josephine, but rather increased his admiration for this strong woman.
After being strongly courted by Napoleon, at the age of 33, Josephine agreed to marry Napoleon and successfully became the Empress of France. After that, Napoleon married several other wives, but Josephine was always Napoleon's favorite woman.
Married to a viscount and became a member of the aristocracy
Josephine was born in 1763 in Martinique, the Caribbean, to aristocratic parents. In order to improve the family's social status and to live in the upper class, Josephine's parents hoped that she would be able to marry into an aristocratic family.
The result was as they wished, after her aunt's introduction, Josephine successfully married a viscount of the upper class and became a viscountess. From then on, Josephine and her family's lives changed drastically, and she managed to live a rich life, with a social circle of mostly upper-class people.
After her marriage, Josephine had two children, and in everyone's opinion, the rest of Josephine's life must be very happy. But this was not the case, Josephine's marriage was not as happy as everyone saw it.
Josephine's children were born to a family of two, and she spent all of her energy and time at home with them. But Josephine's dedication was not only unrewarded, she was also betrayed by her husband.
The most hateful thing is that the husband in order to be able to marry his lover home, but also try to frame Josephine, claiming that the daughter is not her husband's biological, which is the good Josephine is a fatal blow, and ultimately Josephine can not stand it will be her husband to the court.
Josephine won her case and defended her legal rights and interests.
Josephine received a large sum of money from her husband and returned home with her two children. Josephine didn't settle for money, but rather stood up for herself when she was hurt.
Shortly after her return home, the Revolution broke out in France. The fervor of the Revolution grew, and the king and queen were guillotined, and naturally, some of the dignitaries were not immune, and Josephine, who held the title of Viscountess, had her name on the list of those executed.
But fortunately, Josephine once knew a lady of very high status, and under the strong persuasion of this lady, Josephine was saved. Josephine was very grateful to this lady, so every time she had something precious, she would give it to her, and the two of them became very close sisters.
Though Josephine lost her prominent family position, she was able to meet more people from the upper class, including some military officers and politicians, because of the lady's saving grace, which was undoubtedly a good result for Josephine.
Through the contact with the upper class aristocrats, Josephine learned to dress up herself and also paid much attention to her dress code, so this made the thirty-something years old Josephine still have the looks that can stun the whole audience.
Deep admiration and admiration, Napoleon fell in love at first sight
Through socializing with the upper class, Josephine's status gradually rose, and she often started some salon activities alone, inviting all the dignitaries. But this life did not give Josephine a good reputation, and there were even rumors that Josephine was a politician's lover.
Society at the time was extremely volatile, and it was difficult to get a foothold without the backing of a prominent family. But Josephine was calm and collected in the face of the gossip because she wanted to find a new ? umbrella?
At that time, Napoleon rode the sands and killed countless enemies, and was a hero in the hearts of countless people. In order to prevent rebellion, Napoleon confiscated all the weapons of everyone in the city.
However, in order to create a chance encounter with Napoleon, Josephine first asked her son to go to Napoleon to ask for his sword back, and in order to thank Napoleon, Josephine went to see Napoleon in person as a token of appreciation.
However, it was this first meeting that made Napoleon fall y in love with the widow Josephine, who was six years older than him. Napoleon was only 27 years old at the time, and it was inevitable that he would develop feelings for Josephine after being expressed admiration and respect by the gorgeous Josephine.
So Napoleon launched a crazy pursuit of Josephine, during this period, there are countless people opposed to this relationship, we all think that Josephine's reputation is not good, and the life of the misbehavior, married into the royal family will be degrading to the reputation of the royal family.
But Napoleon did not listen to the crowd. Before the wedding, Josephine had symptoms of pregnancy, coincidentally, at this time Napoleon received a notice to go to the front, so Napoleon had no choice but to marry the 33-year-old Josephine after three months of acquaintance.
On the third day after his marriage, Napoleon left for the front. Despite traveling around to fight the war, Napoleon was always concerned about Josephine at home, and when he had time, he would write to Josephine to ask about her health, which shows how deep Napoleon's love for Josephine was.
History's first crowned queen
Josephine found that she was not pregnant, not only did not go to the front Napoleon, but at home to live a luxurious life, so there are rumors that Josephine has more than one lover, life style is not decent.
These words were naturally known to Napoleon, so from then on, Napoleon, who went out to fight, restrained Josephine's life.
In fact, the two men, Napoleon and Josephine, were very complementary.
While Napoleon won countless wars and gained fame, he did not know how to communicate with people, and naturally did not have a network, but Josephine made up for this shortcoming of Napoleon, she knew many celebrities in the upper class, and also knew how to socialize, which made Napoleon's status qualitatively changed.
Later, Napoleon's military success led to a coup d'état in which he became the consul of the First **** and State of Farahi. Napoleon was then crowned emperor and Josephine was crowned queen.
Before Josephine's coronation Napoleon's family strongly objected to Josephine as Empress, as no woman has ever been crowned in history, let alone to Josephine, who had a bad reputation, but Napoleon went against his family's wishes.
Josephine went from the bottom of the heap to Empress, and this major change in status was undoubtedly the most rewarding and scenic moment of her life.
After that, the marriage seemed to be glittering, but in fact, cracks had already appeared. Because Napoleon was always away at war, the couple didn't spend much time together, and the fact that Napoleon moved on accelerated the end of the relationship.
In the end, the two were officially divorced, but Josephine still retained the title of Empress. Instead of being crushed by the divorce, Josephine lived a courageous life and eventually passed away at the age of 51.
Growing in the cold? flowers?
There are many setbacks in a person's life, some people will be devastated, while others can grow in the face of adversity, the latter is a true reflection of Josephine.
Josephine was 33 years old when she remarried with two children, did not care about the eyes of the public to marry Napoleon, and eventually became the Empress of France, many years later is still Napoleon's favorite woman.
We have no way of knowing Josephine's character, but the fact is that Josephine could adjust herself and stand up bravely after a setback, and this kind of spirit is worth learning.
