The sun never sets rose

There are more strange faces in the palace. They should be noble wives with titles. They are all dressed up in gold and silver. Jiang Xinyan always meets them when he is wandering around, and he will inevitably be pointed and commented on. Who is it, very embarrassing.

She simply didn't go out and shut herself in the room to ponder her thesis.

The shadow of Elizabeth has also disappeared these days. The difference from before is that there will be guards coming to report her whereabouts, such as where she is going today, what she is going to do, and who is waiting. It is said that the queen ordered it, which made Jiang Xinyan a little flattered.

Of course, it wasn't just these things that surprised her...

Kate-Ashley led a group of maids in, followed by three elegant-looking young guys, each holding an unnamed musical instrument, standing in a row, making the originally empty and spacious room a Got a little crowded.

"Miss, we are here to teach you how to dance under His Majesty's order. These three are palace musicians who will play dance music for you. They are your accompanying trainers. Please make sure you learn at least two dance steps within a week." Ash Mrs. Li smiled and briefly introduced the group of people.

Jiang Xinyan was stunned, she never said that she wanted to learn this, and it was Elizabeth's order?

The three musicians stepped forward one by one and bowed gracefully to her. Looking at their young and fair faces, they were full of gentlemen. Where had she ever received such a gift? She instinctively wanted to back away, but she also felt that this might not be good, with eyes begging for help. For Lady Ashley.

The other party made a gesture of reaching out, and she understood it instantly, and followed suit with the extended hand.

Isn't it just a hand kiss, I've seen it on TV.

The little fresh meats smiled at her friendlyly, kissed her fingertips one by one, and then stepped aside.

"In addition, from today onwards, you need to systematically study court etiquette, which will be taught by Mrs. Norris and me. Now your schedule is divided into two parts, etiquette in the morning and dance in the afternoon." The business-like tone, posture and expression are perfect It has to be unmistakable.

The Mrs. Norris she was talking about was Leticia's mother, the queen's cousin, and a member of the Boleyn family.

"Only for a week?"

"Yes."

Looking down, staring at the tiny fluff on the carpet, thinking of countless reasons, I suddenly remembered that in the study that day, Elizabeth asked her if she could dance, and it was conceivable that she certainly couldn't, so she sent someone to teach her ?

Etiquette, dancing... The more she learns, the closer she is to adapting to and accepting this world. Even if she resists, it's useless. If she can't go back to modern times, she can only accept everything here.

Suddenly, I felt a little sad. Thinking of Elizabeth's unpredictable temper and unpredictable thoughts, I felt helpless. She was alone after all...

"Okay, I'll learn." Nodding resignedly.

Jiang Xinyan overestimated the difficulty of court dance music in this era, like the type that follows the beat and follows everyone around and exchanges dance partners. She learned it in two days. The only thing she needs to pay attention to is not to step on other people's feet.

She put on a gorgeous dress studded with jewels and pearls. Amidst the melodious music, she stepped on the cheerful drum beat and practiced her steps over and over again. As she practiced, she took her partner's maid as Elizabeth...

According to historical data, the queen likes to dance very much, and her dance skills are superb.

Imagining that she and Elizabeth are spinning and dancing in the crowd, sometimes getting closer and sometimes far away, exchanging eyes and smiles, they see themselves through each other's eyes, every breath becomes more and more heavy with the rise and fall of the chest, the body The blood boiling inside is scorching and transpiring, melting into whispers...

"what…"

--boom!

When she was distracted, she accidentally stepped on her partner's skirt, causing her to fall.

"Sorry…"

Stunned, the scene in front of her suddenly disappeared. There was no Elizabeth, and there was no whisper that made her blush and heartbeat. Jiang Xinyan quickly helped the fallen maid, a little annoyed.

Mrs. Ashley raised her hand to signal the musician to stop playing, and said with a smile: "After practicing for so long, everyone must be tired. Miss, you should also take a break. We will continue in the afternoon."

"Okay..." Nodding his head, his expression was in a trance.

As a group of people exited the room, the surroundings became quiet. Jiang Xinyan slumped on the bed, feeling uncomfortable from the beadwork on the dress. He wiped the sweat from his forehead feebly, calming his beating heart.

She was so dazed that she could think of Elizabeth in everything she did.

"Miss, let's eat."

Jane came in with a sumptuous lunch and put it on the table by the window. By the way, she took the vegetable leaves and threw them into the dusty cage so that she could eat by herself.

Dancing consumes a lot of energy, and he doesn't pick anything when he's hungry. Jiang Xinyan rushed over when he smelled the scent. Seeing the variety and specifications, he hesitated, "Why do I feel that the food I eat recently has become richer?"

"Haha, Miss, did you just find out?"

"???"

"This is His Majesty's intention to let you eat the same food as her."

"..."

"Miss doesn't want to cook, does she?" Looking at her in horror, she remembered that once Jiang Xinyan said that she wanted to make some stir-fried vegetables, and after tossing about for a long time, she almost failed to blow up the kitchen, wasting a lot of precious ingredients, it would be better to cook dumplings.

Although His Majesty didn't say anything, those cooks had great opinions.

"Ah... No, no, no..." He lowered his head with a smirk, with lingering fears in his heart.

Zhen smiled gratifiedly, with dimples on her cheeks, and sat down to eat her share, "Thanks to Miss, I couldn't even imagine my life now. It would be better if there was no war, oh... "

No war?Jiang Xinyan smiled, chewing the tender and fat fish in his mouth, and smiled wryly, "How could there be no war, even animals will fight for territory."

"But we have suffered too much from fighting the French now, why don't we learn our lesson..."

"you mean?"

"It was the war with the French last spring. We lost Calais, and my brother died on the battlefield. If my parents hadn't hid my brothers, I'm afraid there would be no males left in the family." The bread in his eyes, his eyes were sad, and his tone was faintly dissatisfied with the government.

"We are always involved in disputes in other countries. Who cares about the life and death of us untouchables...I don't know where to hide my brothers this time..." The piece of white bread made of fine flour was poked to pieces. Looking panicked.

The little girl frowned, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked like she was about to cry.

It suddenly dawned on her that she rejected war so much. There was a reason behind it. Jiang Xinyan put down the tableware and hugged her, comforting her: "Believe me, Jane, no one likes a world full of wars, but judging from the current situation, We are forced to fight. We are sandwiched between two big Catholic countries, and there is a restless Scotland in the north. If we wait to die, we will become subjugated slaves sooner or later. This war is not for personal gain, nor is it out of evil aggression. It’s about defending this country, and only with everyone can there be a small family, isn’t it?”

After saying this, she didn't blush at all, she knew very well in her heart that the reason for starting the war was not so high-sounding at all.

There were mixed feelings in her heart, and she was very contradictory. She understood Elizabeth's embarrassment and understood the pain in Jane's heart. She remembered the 100 years when her motherland was invaded...

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is the truth.

Tears flowed, and the little girl threw herself into her arms, crying bitterly: "Well, I understand... I'm just uncomfortable... My brother is very brave... But he's still dead..."

Even though he was distressed, Jiang Xinyan didn't have the confidence to promise her anything. Even he was just a passer-by in this era, and he didn't know where the future was. Words of comfort were so weak, and he understood the truth, but not everyone could do it.

He raised his eyes and looked at the corner of the sky outside the window. It was rare to see the sun. The dazzling golden light broke through the gloomy clouds and enveloped them, dazzling but warm.

Such good weather should be hopeful.

Jiang Xinyan asked Mrs. Ashley for leave. She went out to bask in the sun in the afternoon. She changed into a beautiful dress and a few simple jewelry for the first time. The long hair is scattered around the waist, and there is only a thin silver chain around the forehead, which is beautiful and not vulgar.

She also made a simple triangular strap traction rope for Hui Pao, holding Jane in her left hand and leading the rabbit in her right hand, and walked leisurely to the secret garden.

After living in one place for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of familiarity. The bricks and tiles in the palace look so friendly, she seems to regard this place as her own home, and the Secret Garden is a place she often goes to.

Turning around the corner of the promenade, there was a whisper and chuckle from the direction of the secret garden. The ash at the foot stopped as if frightened, raised its two long ears, and stared vigilantly. Jiang Xinyan simply picked it up and walked Keep going with the sound.

Several well-dressed ladies gathered together to chat, and they were probably just hanging out. They wore pearls and gemstones weighing at least a few kilograms. From head to toe, they shone brightly under the sunlight. They had a dignified demeanor. , Elegant and generous, chuckling from time to time, like an oil painting.

Among them, the arrogant girl was Catherine Gray. Surrounded by the crowd, she smiled like a flower.

It's really not the right time...

"Yo, isn't this your Majesty's 'guest'?"

The immature and thin voice, the pair of gray-blue eyes that are exactly the same as Elizabeth's are full of sarcasm, following the footsteps, approaching, and looking at her, "I heard that His Majesty picked up a foreign country in the royal garden in Windsor. Man, it turned out to be you!"

As she spoke, she glanced around triumphantly, and the ladies around her covered their mouths and laughed lightly. The emetic-like face on the left was Leticia. She was a relative of the queen's natal family, and her father had an official title, so she was considered a lady. As for the others, Jiang Xinyan didn't know any of them.

With a sneer in her heart, Elizabeth had already ordered no one to mention her own background, but Catherine could know this by turning her face, and it was only Leticia who told her.

Among these noble ladies, Catherine is undoubtedly the most distinguished. Her maternal grandmother is the princess of England and Elizabeth's aunt. She has royal blood and the right to inherit the throne. Isn't her tail raised to the sky?

"You said it was a guest, I think it's a witch! I don't know what kind of witchcraft was used to appear in the royal garden, and then confused His Majesty to keep you in the palace!" His eyes suddenly became fierce, and the arrogant energy turned. Anger for resentment, as if to eat her.

The laughter stopped abruptly, the air suddenly became quiet, a trace of coolness shook in the dazzling sunlight, and the whirling fine dust fluttered in disorder, brushing over their faces, staining their faces as gray as paper...

I heard from Leticia that the Queen doted on this foreigner very much. She personally took her hunting, hunted rabbits for her, accompanied her out of the palace to play, took her to attend state affairs, received envoys, and even allowed her to sleep in her bedroom. , on her bed, calling her name.

It was just a trip back to the former residence, and so many things happened in the palace for more than two months. The strong jealousy turned into a gushing anger, burning deep in her heart, her self-esteem, her pride, her The forbearance and cautious feelings towards Elizabeth almost collapsed because of the appearance of this unexpected guest...
