The sun never sets rose

Sure enough, when meeting Earl Allen, Elizabeth once again showed her acting talent to the fullest.

With a charming smile, and a look full of concern and expectation, she said: "My dear Earl, perhaps you don't know that the French are looking for you everywhere, because they are afraid that you will threaten Mary Queen of Scots. position, of course, and I must not allow their schemes to succeed. I need you to return to Scotland to increase the prestige and power of the Congregationalist faction, and God's will has shown that Scotland and England will finally come together."

There was something in the words. After listening to the earl, he expressed his deep gratitude to the queen for her support, but also fell into fantasies about his marriage with the queen...

Seeing the Earl's foolish look full of hope, Jiang Xinyan, who was standing behind the left side of the throne, tried his best not to laugh.

She didn't dare to ruin the queen's business.

After sending away another annoying male creature, Elizabeth dismissed all the attendants again and ordered Jiang Xinyan to accompany her for a walk.

From Whitehall to the southeast corner of the palace, there are three continuous courtyards designed by the builder, Bishop Wolsey. The layout is spacious and atmospheric, and the interior is sunny for receiving guests.Through the courtyard, you come to the dense garden. The terrain is flat, breaking the common rule-based design, and using hedges of different heights, planting walls, layered flower beds, green spaces and pools to form an independent small scene.

I remember coming here more than once when later generations visited Hampton Court Palace. The scenery is roughly the same, but I always feel that something is missing.

"Is there a fountain..." I thought to myself, not noticing that the person in front stopped and bumped into it, "Ah... sorry..."

The wind blew up a few strands of reddish-brown hair, which gently brushed her cheeks, itching, she couldn't help but reached out and pinched it, and found that it wasn't her own hair. When she looked up, she saw the shoulders and backs of the man who was close at hand.

"What did you just say?" The voice was very soft and could be blown away at any time.

"No…"

She lowered her head and learned to shut up. Ever since she came to this era, her lively and enthusiastic temperament has restrained a lot. After all, this is not a world where she can do as she pleases.

She remembered that the fountain courtyard seen by later generations at Hampton Court Palace was built during the reign of Kings William and Mary in the 100th century, and it will not be seen now for at least [-] years.

The silence weighed down like a heavy boulder, and even outside, the open landscape seemed to be compressed and swallowed by a cloud of gloomy mist, turning gray.

And the maker of the oppressive atmosphere was standing on her left front side, the cloak covered the whole body, only the head was exposed, a face with no expression, and the invisible eyes looked lost.

"Do I have to choose between Archduke Charles and Earl Allen?" Mustering up the courage, she opened her mouth. Seeing her slightly frowning brows, she wanted to reach out to smooth them out.

The only answer to her was the cool breeze passing by her side.

"I don't understand why belief is so important. It can cause a country, or even an entire continent, to fall into endless disputes and wars. There is no God at all. Without God, people are the main body of this world and themselves."

The bottom of the calm eyes suddenly stirred up waves, and it was only at that moment that they were disturbed by the girl's continuous chatter.

"Catholicism has ruled Europe for thousands of years, ignorance, backwardness, darkness, disease, war... People believe in the existence of God, so what has God brought to the world? Our ancestors created a brilliant and developed human civilization, but let the group of decayed The hypocritical gods have been ruined, what God is clearly a cover to cover up their evil deeds!"

"Human progress must first be established on the basis of self-centered research, and then we can better explore and understand this world. And everyone is born the same, there is no mission given by God, and the destiny of human beings It should be controlled by yourself, not by God." The turbulent emotions gathered in his chest, and he couldn't tell what it was for, and he vented out uncontrollably.

She is not a person of noble character. In the final analysis, her starting point is just to feel helpless and...distressed.Besides, what's the use of saying this to a queen who believes in the "divine right of the king".

Turning her head, the girl's resentment was reflected in the gray-blue pupils, interpreting many complicated emotions, because she didn't know how to hide them, and all of them were exposed, including contempt, resentment, puzzlement, grievance, and a little bit of other things , Something that moved her heart slightly.

A certain stiff corner became softer.

"Are you pitying me?" He chuckled lightly, with a trace of sullenness in his joy.

"No... I just can't understand those people who talk about it..."

"As you say, 'to exist is to make sense.'"

He took a step forward and continued to walk forward. The cool wind blowing towards his face lifted the hair behind him, and a strand of reddish brown fluttered around. The moment Jiang Xinyan followed, his face was itchy again due to the mischievous hair

"That's not what I said, it was Hegel."

"Didn't you say he wasn't born yet?"

"..."

The hem of the cloak embroidered with gold thread sweeps the air close to the ground, turning up tiny invisible dust, rippling with the pace of graceful arc lines, behind the coat of arms that symbolizes the Tudor royal family, there is a flower The two-color rose, intertwined with red and white, represents the merger of two families with the right to the throne.

Red is the Lancaster family, arrogant and wild; white is the York family, elegant and restrained.

In the fusion of the two bloods, Elizabeth is more like a red rose, with the wind living in her bones, rushing freely with coquettish and unruly arrogance, and sometimes she is as quiet as a pool of water, hiding all her sharpness deeply.

Just like now, she is not angry at Jiang Xinyan's "rebellious" words, but she is not as gloomy and serious as before. No one can guess what is going on in her heart.

Jiang Xinyan trotted a few steps, boldly lifted his cloak, held the hand wearing the ring, raised his head and looked into the pair of gray-blue eyes, and received a strange look as expected.

"You're walking too fast, I can't keep up." With this explanation, the palm of your hand was warm, and you held it tighter.

The girl's smile was pure and sweet. Through those clean and bright black eyes, Elizabeth saw her own chiseled face. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked away, acquiescing to her actions.

The coolness of the metal clings to the tender palm. It is the ring that symbolizes royal power. Jiang Xinyan knows that there is a portrait of Anne Boleyn hidden in it. Under the queen's tough and indifferent appearance, there is always a soft place in her heart, where she lives and relaxes. No less people.

Suddenly, I feel a little envious of Queen Anne...

"Do you have faith in your world?" He suddenly said, his eyes were obviously looking elsewhere, but he subconsciously glanced at the girl next to him, and quickly moved away before the girl raised his head.

Seeing that the queen was not looking at him, Jiang Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief, and thought about it seriously, "Actually, there are, but not many people believe in them. Although our mainstream concept is 'atheism', we will not be hostile to people with beliefs." , everyone coexists peacefully, as long as you don’t break the law, no one will interfere with anyone’s life.”

"What about the war?"

"The country I live in has no wars, because at that time the world has been integrated, and the interests of countries are closely related. No one will easily start a war. If you have that effort, you might as well develop your own economy and think about how to protect the earth's environment. After all Human beings only have this homeland, and technology has not yet developed to the level of space migration, so we should unite even more under such circumstances." Jiang Xinyan said cautiously, keeping his head down, not daring to say more.

Silent, looking at the fallen leaves on the branches in the distance, the old ones are gone, and the new ones come again, every year is like this, like the fate of all people, blooming at the most beautiful time, withering at the moment of death.

"Peace and unity will not last forever,"

Just like the fallen leaves, the alternation of old and new is the law of nature.

He nodded with a vague understanding, as if it made sense.

"What are you going to give me to eat tonight?" Withdrawing his gaze, he lowered his gaze, and it fell on the girl's fair and delicate skin, flickering slightly, and he grasped that hand tightly.

"Uh……"

"Dumplings?" The taste I tasted last night came to the tip of my tongue, it was hard to forget, and it was more of a surprise-like expectation.

"Okay, since His Majesty wants to eat."

Letting out a sigh of resignation, Jiang Xinyan felt that he might become a cook, but he was quite happy in his heart, and he couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, it was a little sweet and a little warm.

……

Walking alone on the way to the study room, the fingers hidden in the cloak overlapped and rubbed to generate heat, Elizabeth habitually stroked the ring, and the coolness that the metal should have faded away. At the same time, there is also a pair of Jianshui black pupils.

It was like being immersed in a filthy fog. After a long time, she began to greedily and uncontrollably yearn for all the freshness and purity. Even no one could make her fully trust.

This kind of behavior that can't help but break the principle again and again is really not a good sign, especially when facing that girl.

"Robby?"

Walking to the door of the study room, the sky was getting dark, and the dim light of the lit candles projected the man's figure on the wall, tall and tall, like a ghost.

Her footsteps paused slightly, her eyes dimmed, and the guard at the door saluted her respectfully, and then returned to the state of a stone statue, as if she hadn't seen Robert.

Robbie is Robert's nickname.

Hearing the Queen's shout, a knowing smile appeared on the handsome face of the man, he breathed a sigh of relief, and made a gesture to say something.

"what's up?"

Pushing open the door and entering, seeing darkness, the man's body quickly came close to her, a pair of powerful arms hugged her tightly, and his heavy and short breathing lingered in her ear, whispering: "You want to Did you abandon me, sweetheart?"

Intense disgust roiled in her mind, and in the darkness, there was a stormy madness lurking beneath her calm surface, but in the end reason prevailed, restraining the urge to slap him, taking a deep breath, like a flexible cat The kitten broke free from his confinement, "Pay attention to your words, my lord."

"Who called me Robbie just now?"

"I'm so sad that you refused to see me at noon."

"I heard it was because you stayed with a foreign woman?"

Robert tried to reach out and pull her, but was dodged.

"I heard?" The dangerous tone captured the key information, and she wanted to know whose mouth was so unstoppable.

"What Lettice said, you neglected me because of a foreigner, I'm very sorry, my dear...Your Majesty." Suddenly, a chill passed over, and abruptly replaced "Sweetheart" with "Your Majesty".

Frowning, a hint of hostility floated in his eyes.
