"As women, in Rome, or in the Han Empire, our fate has long been fixed.
Helena knew that Momia, who was a very famous woman in Roman history, was the mother of Alexandria Severus, and Alexandria Severus was able to become the Augustus of Rome, and at least six points of credit was due to relying on Momia, and what was even more rare was that Momia helped Alexandria Severus lay an extremely solid foundation, so that Alexander Severus was in power to solve the sworn enemy Parthian Empire.
"What kind of life can we live, we need to be sheltered by Hera to find a good family to be born, and when we become adults, we will look at the husband of choice" Helena undoubtedly felt that she was lucky to be reincarnated into the Constantine family and have a life that grew up in a more privileged environment than most people: "I thought that my husband would be Julian, and I had already planned my future lifestyle" Helena decided to be a silent listener, and she could already see that Helena was simply trying to talk.
It is the nature of all intelligent beings to look forward to a better life, and men may not have so many illusions, while women cannot help but think about what will happen when they have a family.
Usually women don't think exactly in the direction of the good, but more often in the direction of the bad.
After all, it is women who need to change their living environment, and they always think about what will happen to their husbands and what will happen to their husbands' families.
"Julian's family environment is very simple, except for the wrong brother Gallus, there are no relatives anymore."
Helena smiled as she said this, and asked Helena, "Do you know Gallus well?"
Helena nodded, "People usually call him Gallus the Brainless, but I think he's fine." ” Gallus also had the experience of being exiled, and he was forgiven by Constantius II earlier than Julian for no other reason than the rotten fief of his former fiefdom.
Before he was exiled, Julian had fiefdoms in Egypt and Asia Minor, especially Egypt, which was the home of his mother, Basilina's father.
Egypt was very important to Rome, and under the premise that Italy, including the part of Europa, did not obey Constantius II at all, the Constantine family could never lose Egypt, which was also a crucial factor for Constantius II to try to kill Julian several times but endured it, and later forced Julian to be released from exile.
"My vision is to help Julian after marriage, and do everything I can to help him so that he will become a strong challenger to the next Augustus."
Helena really just wanted to say: "I did it because I was afraid of losing power, and I didn't want to be a victim like Gala." ” The Gala that Helena is talking about is Julian's second sister, and she is not happy with the Italian governor Gasis for political reasons.
It should be said that the royal family of Rome has been unhappy in the past hundred years, men are easy to die in the struggle for power, and women are married off as political bargaining chips to live a very unsatisfactory life.
"Really, I'll do everything I can to make Julian an Augustus."
Helena smiled wryly as she said this: "I knew a long time ago that Julian might be married to Julian, and Julian was still in exile at that time. ” Helena at least knew how to read the sad expression, but she didn't understand what the miserable was.
After she became sensible, the family of Constantine had ended their internal fighting, and Rome had generally stabilized.
Before menarche, Constantius II had mentioned to Helena more than once that he would marry Julian as compensation, when Helena was only eight years old.
Constantine is not a peaceful and friendly family, Constantine I may be mighty and domineering, but Constantine is a family with no family affection at all, and because Constantine I did not deal with the problem of successors, the family that has no family foundation directly comes to meet each other.
Helena had seen too much misery, especially fearful of what would happen to those who lost power, and she swore to the gods early on that she would never lose her protection, no matter what the price.
When Helena was sensible, it was the year of the fiercest fighting within the Constantine family.
"You are happy."
Helena was a little jealous of Helena and said, "You have always been happy, you were and probably will be." ” Simple people don't have too many pursuits, they need less and have fewer desires, and it is difficult to become a stumbling block for others.
Helena had always known what she needed, especially after knowing that her future husband would be Julian, and she felt a sense of urgency like never before.
"The first man who touched my body was the captain of Miyagi's guards."
Helena took care of herself and found wine, and she had already drunk a lot: "The reason I am willing to let him touch it is that he can enter and leave Miyagi at will." ” Helena had fallen asleep on her desk.
I don't know what kind of wood the table is made of, but after boiling tung oil, the table top is extremely smooth, and it will emit a very pleasant smell of wood.
"Why do I need to go in and out of Miyagi at will, in addition to being able to sell things out in exchange for what I need, I can also freely contact those nobles."
Helena doesn't care if Helena is asleep or not, she just wants to find a living person to talk about well: "While I am still a princess, I will know more nobles, envelop them, and catch them."
Someday it will be used, I think. ” The night is deep, and in the cold winter, there is naturally no insect chirping that can be transmitted into the house through the doors and windows, and occasionally the barking of dogs can be heard.
"Everybody says I'm a slut.
I do look like a slut too, but who knew that the first captain of the guard who touched my body was fed to a dog the following year, except for him" Helena saw Helena's head move, and looked closely to make sure that Helena was sleeping, and she was drooling from sleep: "Only at the beginning of this year, Augustus mentioned the matter of marriage again, and I found Julian to inform him that he was about to become Caesar, and once he became Caesar, we would be a match made in heaven.
I gave myself to him on my own initiative.
He was the first man to enter my body, and I thought he would be my husband. ” At the beginning of this year, Wang Meng led the envoy to Constantinople.
At that stage, Constantius II had indeed begun to secretly prepare for the wedding of Julian and Helena, and both of them would know in private, and it would be no surprise that the wedding would be held at the end of the year.
There were many people who knew that there would be a solemn wedding, which was a signal that Constantius II wanted to send a message of reconciliation.
There will also be a grand wedding in Constantinople, where the groom will be Julian and the bride will not be Helena.
Wang Meng led his team to Constantinople to change too many things, not only did Julian and Helena's marriage fail, but also the bad relationship between the Constantine family and the Christianity was about to be bridged again.
"Heaven likes to joke with me, and then Augustus said that things have changed, Julian is no longer my suitable marriage partner, and Rome needs my dedication."
Helena drank another glass and squeezed the wine glass hard: "Do you know what I was thinking at that time, I wanted to kill Julian, it was he who suggested to Augustus to give me to the Emperor of Han, and after making the suggestion, he didn't even dare to touch my finger again, so why did he touch me before" The glass was thrown out by Helena, first against the wall, and then on the ground, miraculously not shattered.
"I've always wondered if he had the idea of making me a marriage candidate before he touched me."
Helena's eyes looked directly at the wine glass that was still rolling on the ground: "If that's the case, I won't kill him with my own hands, and the person who stabbed the sword into his chest will be a soldier of the Han Empire." ” Everyone has come to the Han Empire, Helena is not a dull person, let alone a stupid person, she already knows that her consequences are estimated to be very bad, and the Son of Heaven, who is regarded as a god by the Han people, should not accept a woman with a bad reputation.
Helena also knew that the most important thing was reputation, chastity or something was secondary, and the emperor of the Han people did not exclude non-virgins, which was recorded repeatedly from the history of the Han people, but there could be no flaws on reputation.
"I've thought a lot" Helena stood up, her body shaking slightly: "Han Tianzi will definitely accept me, in order to start a war against Rome, Han Tianzi needs a reason."
And my unclean reputation is the best reason for the Emperor of Han to go to war with Rome. ” Helena walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked at Chang'an City, which was still brightly lit.

"None of the men in high positions care about feelings, and I have long seen through this incident."
Helena leaned over and leaned out of the window and looked down: "I'm mentally prepared, but I don't accept my fate" Under the window is the floor, and there is no clutter.
"I will do everything I can to be successfully sown by the Han Empire before the war between Rome and give birth to a baby boy" Helena looked up at the sky, where there were stars: "The Han Emperor will need a child with Roman royal blood, under the banner of what the Han people call to set things right." ” The sky was blinking with stars, and the breeze was blowing on the ground.
"Yes, the Han people need that child" Helena felt her eyes darken, she knew that she was not drunk, but her body could not hold on under the influence of alcohol: "He will become the governor of the Han Empire in Rome" Helena fell to the ground against the window, and the sound of her falling woke Helena up.
Helena looked around in confusion and saw Helena lying on the ground indecently, with an expression of not knowing what to do.
