The sun never sets rose

The maid led Jiang Xinyan into Windsor Castle. This ancient castle with a history of more than 1000 years was first built in 1070 by the Duke of Normandy. It covers an area of ​​more than 4 square meters. It has a gray appearance and is built of granite. , Tall and majestic, with the Thames River to the north.

Compared with later generations, the Windsor Castle we see now looks older, and the garden vegetation is not so neatly trimmed, which looks more natural.

As Jiang Xinyan walked and visited, she had the right to have a chance to travel for free, and she could breathe the air that was not polluted by industrial waste gas more than 400 years ago, not to mention that the Windsor Castle of later generations is still the private property of the royal family, she is a commoner Where is the chance to live in it.

Reassuring myself like this can relieve a lot of uneasiness in my heart.

"go in."

When she came to the door of a certain room, she obediently stepped in under the gesture of the maid, and looked at the furnishings in the room curiously.

The large bed is very eye-catching, with light yellow curtains hanging around it, the pillows and sheets are all white, and the bed is very flat. The fireplace closest to the bed, because no one lives there, no firewood is lit, and the Virgin Mary hangs directly above the fireplace. Mary's portrait, on both sides are stone pillars embedded in the wall, carved with an unknown plant pattern, and next to it is a row of long semicircular windows, in front of which are placed two large wooden chairs, Facing the crossed angel statue on the stone table.

The floor next to the bed was covered with a thick wool carpet, which was soft and silent when stepped on. In this wool-producing country, this kind of product should not be very expensive, so she could step on it with confidence.

"Before you get His Majesty's permission, all your activities can only be carried out in this room. If you have other needs, you can call the guards outside, and they will convey it to you." Seeing her countryman entering the city, the maid endured Can't help but sound a reminder.

Jiang Xinyan turned around, almost forgot that he was still following him, and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you."

This maid looked older than the others, and Elizabeth called her "Kate" just now. Jiang Xinyan searched the information in his mind and guessed that this was probably the Queen's chief lady, Mrs. Kate-Ashley.

After the maid left, Jiang Xinyan walked around the room, and finally sat on the bed, where her buttocks sank into a soft deep pit, like a piece of cotton, she couldn't help lying down, rolled over, and He hugged the same soft pillow and rubbed hard.

Very comfortable bedding~

The royal family is the royal family, and the quality of the things they use doesn't matter. If it wasn't for the fact that her identity could not be proved and she was in danger of being beheaded at any time, she would be lucky to wear it here.

Whether he can go back is always a question.

Jiang Xinyan hugged the pillow and stared at the top of the bed. After the curiosity in her heart passed, all that remained was the fear of this era, religious beliefs, feudalism, ignorance, and various infectious diseases. Came into this world without warning or preparation, just to die here?

Even if the queen believed her words and would not execute her as a spy, what if she couldn't escape the infectious disease?

I don’t know what year it is now, but I can only confirm that it is the middle of the sixteenth century, about 200 years have passed since the outbreak of the Black Death, and the latest sweating fever was decades ago, but there are still plagues and so on. You know, Elizabeth was infected with smallpox in 1562 and almost died.

She still has a dissertation to write, a degree to take, and she has to return to China to work and reunite with her family. Her life in the 21st century has a bright future.

In an unknown environment, fear is an instinct, especially for Jiang Xinyan who knows history, everything that will happen in the future can infinitely magnify fear.

She only knows the general trend of history, not the details.

If one of his inadvertent actions changed the course of history, what would happen to the era he lived in hundreds of years later?

The soft mattress was like a pair of warm hands, giving her a gentle and delicate touch. Every pore on her body cheered and clamored, trying to blend in with this piece of comfort. She drooped her eyelids, feeling a little sleepy.

Go to sleep, maybe sleep again and go back.

……

The melodious melody played by the lute rippling in the crowd, the hunting show ended, the children dressed as fairies and the choir retreated one by one, the dancers changed one after another, no matter where they were, Elizabeth was always the people. The focus of the eye.

The flying reddish-brown hair reflects the warm firelight in the setting sun, dazzling, passionate, and full of vitality. Like a free elf bathed in divine grace, she shuttles flexibly and casually among the whirling crowd, wantonly showing her A warm smile that doesn't hesitate to give.

She kept her eyes on Robert for a moment, as if she really fell in love.

"His Majesty."

Kate Ashley, who had watched flirting all afternoon, couldn't bear it any longer. She quietly walked up to Elizabeth, calling her in a low voice, and at the same time gave Robert a glance.

Now rumors are flying all over the country. Everyone says that the young queen is in love with a married man. It even spreads to other countries in the European continent and becomes the talk of people after dinner.

The queen has just ascended the throne, and the throne is still unstable. Everyone is looking forward to her getting married as soon as possible and giving birth to an heir as soon as possible, so as to consolidate the position of Protestantism in England, and to put an end to the conspiracy ideas of those pretenders to the throne.

Elizabeth's attitude towards the marriage was ambiguous, making it impossible to guess what she wanted to do. At this time, she had an affair with a married man. As the closest female officer around the queen, Kate was going crazy.

It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is anxious to death.

The charming smile seems to be full of charm, leaving people with infinite reverie. Elizabeth is the best at deceiving people's hearts. A look is enough to make the beautiful man opposite me fascinated, but it is also extremely hypocritical.

When she saw that it was Kate, she blinked her gray-blue eyes briskly, let go of the hand on the man's shoulder naturally, turned around without any hesitation, stripped off the mask on her face in an instant, and regained her composure. calm look.

She was waiting for the maid to speak, although she already knew what the other party was going to say.

She who is far away from the crowd is the real one, arrogant, indifferent, arrogant and unruly, all the edges are restrained, just like the enthusiasm and vitality she showed, just the opposite.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of God, you should keep a distance from your lord. You must know that rumors about you and Robert are spreading everywhere, which is simply unbearable, and he is not only a married man, but also a criminal. Son, have you forgotten how his family conspired to seize the throne? Such a long-term development will really damage your reputation and cause dissatisfaction among the subjects..."

"Kate!" The low voice came out with a stern tone, interrupting the maid's consolation, "You shouldn't ask about this."

His body trembled, but he still didn't give up, "How difficult it is for the crown to come, only Your Majesty knows best, the oath you once made to Queen Anne's spirit in heaven..."

"To shut up!"

The sharp eyes like a bird of prey were covered with a sullen color, with a transparent brilliance, bright and shimmering, and a little reddish. The four words "Queen Anne" seemed to poke the softest part of her heart. Made her lose all pretense.

There is no real appearance, what she really is, even I don't know.

Knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Kate Ashley knelt down with a "boom", "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I...I really don't want to see you being talked about like that..."

The hoarse voice slowly spit out clear and round syllables, like a small stone thrown into the center of the lake, rippled and gradually expanded circles, and sank silently.

In a sense, Kate is like the Queen's half-mother, not only a governess, but also the closest and most trusted female officer around her. Elizabeth respects her very much, and it is for this reason that she will condone her time and time again. .

This time, it was no exception.

From this angle, Elizabeth's back is facing the crowd of the celebration, no one can see her expression and behavior, her slender and tall back still attracts a lot of attention, she is straight, her head is slightly raised, only when you get close will you find her pinching Tight fingers.

Turn around and walk towards Windsor Castle in the posture of a queen.

The dim light in the castle cuts off the noise outside, and there are countless souls hiding in the dark corners where the sun never shines. They have been wandering for hundreds of years and have never left. Elizabeth walked alone in the deep and quiet corridor, like a ghost. The shadow gradually elongated, so lonely.

Even though she is the king of a country, she still has too many involuntary things that the world can't understand. Of course, she doesn't need to be understood. She is who she is, and no matter what she wants to do, she has her reasons.

Instead of going to his bedroom, he wandered aimlessly in the castle, and unknowingly came to a door guarded by guards, and stopped. Two tall and strong guards held spears and stood meticulously on guard. , seeing her, hurriedly saluted.

"His Majesty."

"Whose room?" She raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were dim and unclear. In this huge Windsor Castle, besides her bedroom, which room would be guarded by guards?

"It was a foreigner sent by Mrs. Ashley, saying that you told me to keep it under strict guard."

foreigner?

The smooth and smooth black hair like a waterfall, the clean and clear black pupils, and the graceful and reserved oriental face floated in the memory. Elizabeth almost forgot that there was such a foreign girl who could speak fluently. English, she said, from a world hundreds of years later...
