The sun never sets rose

The ash was fattened up, and Jiang Xinyan had to change it to a bigger cage. After being locked in the house for so long, the wound recovered well, and she was allowed to go out with Elizabeth's permission. She couldn't wait to take the rabbit out for a walk.

"Miss, here comes Mrs Ashley."

"what?"

Jiang Xinyan had just put on the braces for Hui, lifted her skirt and ran to the door, seeing Ashley waiting for her with a smile, she nodded politely: "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

"Miss Jiang, please come with me."

"Okay, but... can I bring the rabbit?" Looking back at Ashley who was lying on the ground and gnawing on the vegetable leaves, she saw Ashley nodding, and she hurriedly hugged the fat rabbit, holding the fat rabbit in her arms was a natural hand warmer precious.

She didn't know where Ashley was going to take her, but she would trust him instinctively. If it were Leticia, she would never follow up so obediently.In fact, through getting along with Elizabeth in the past few months, she can also see something. The queen obviously trusts Mrs. Ashley more, and it can even be said that she is a little dependent on life.

As for the other maids, they were all children of noble families. At most, they were allowed to do some work and run errands. The small circle they formed was the epitome of the court, so it was no wonder that Elizabeth did not fully trust them.

When they came to the gate of the queen's study, the guards saw that it was Mrs. Ashley, greeted her with a smile, and let them in.Jiang Xinyan thought Elizabeth was here waiting for her to do something, but there was no one inside after entering.

"Uh…"

not there?What did you ask her to come over for?

"Miss, please wait here, Your Majesty will come later." He nodded with a smile, walked out slowly, and closed the door.

Dazed for a while, he took two steps with the rabbit in his arms, casually raised his eyes and looked at this spacious and luxurious study room. There were rows of tall bookshelves on both sides, full of thick and simple books. Jiang Xinyan put down the rabbit and picked out a few books at random When I came out to look it up, I couldn't understand a single word, and I don't know where it is in Martian language.

Of course, if she can understand it, she will be amazed at the large amount and variety of Elizabeth's collection of books, and many of them are original editions. In modern times, they are rare items that can only be displayed in museums.

Boring, put it back on the shelf, and turned to the large desk. I don't know what kind of wood it is made of. The texture is good to the touch, not worse than modern furniture.The things on the table are neatly arranged, the corners of the stacked books are glued into a line, and even the opening of the wax cup is straight and square, making one wonder if the owner here is a Virgo.

She remembered that Elizabeth's birthday was the seventh of September, and it was.

Glancing over the corner of the desk, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a stack of paper covered with ink stains under the pressure of the book. She pulled it out curiously, and the three square words that had been written many times came into view, so familiar...

This is, her name.

The handwriting is neat, and it can be seen that the writing is done with great care. I don't know how many times I wrote the regular strokes, from the stiffness on the bottom piece of paper to the smoothness of the topmost piece of paper.

The stagnant breathing disturbed the rhythm, her heart suddenly burst out in shock, and the lines of thick ink and flying handwriting poured into her dark as night eyes, causing a collapsed cry in her chest, and a certain thought frantically played back in her mind. , It's sad again.

Of course, she didn't have the courage to ask Elizabeth why she wrote her name over and over again. If she was afraid that the dream would be broken, she would lie to herself that it was not a dream.

She wanted to be affectionate, once again...

Coming out of the Privy Council, Elizabeth and Worthingham walked back to the study one after the other. The latter carefully considered his tone and words, before opening his mouth carefully after a long while: "Your Majesty, I have some information about Robert. You..."

"Go ahead."

The name made her feel irritated, but it also brightened her eyes.

"In the past two months, he went to the slums of Waiqiaofang five times. During that time, he also sent his attendants to go there several times. They were all from the same family. After investigation, the family was just ordinary civilians, and there was no abnormality."

"Oh? Could it be that he has a mistress?" With a sneer, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his calm face.

Walsingham thought the queen was angry, after all, she was her "lover", how could he be calm after hearing such news?So I struggled for a while, and still reported truthfully: "He only stays for a while and comes out every time, it should be very unlikely..."

He really couldn't say the word "steal|love", it would be bad if the queen was angry and used him as a punching bag.

"Where did he go during the days when I left the palace?"

"Except for the palace and his mansion, there are taverns and..." After pondering for a moment, he whispered cheekily: "The brothel."

After finishing speaking, Worthingham quickly lowered his head, fearing that the sparks would burn his face, silently despised Robert in his heart, going in and out of those places like a bum, shame on him.

However, Elizabeth was not angry, and there was a trace of disdain in her eyes, as if everything was in her expectation.

"Check that family carefully, including the social relations of the three generations of the ancestors and the direct and collateral blood relatives. Leave these to your subordinates. Your most urgent task is to keep an eye on the Queen Mother of Guise in Scotland."

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty." He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded respectfully.

"Well, let's go."

The troubles that followed recently made her feel dull and depressed, but as soon as she thought of the girl waiting for her in the study, her gloomy and irritable mood was swept away, and her steps involuntarily became faster...

Pushing open the door of the study, his eyes glanced at the figure sitting on the recliner playing with the rabbit. A strand of black hair like a waterfall fell down on his chest. He lowered his head and looked focused. His tender white hands grabbed the two fluffy rabbit ears. Humming a ditty.

One person and one rabbit, harmonious and peaceful, the static picture is very beautiful.

There were flickering spots of light in the pupils, a soft spot in the bottom of her heart was stabbed hard, a gentle smile could not help but appear on the corners of her lips, she couldn't bear to disturb this isolated tranquility.

However, Jiang Xinyan, who heard the movement, raised his head. Seeing someone coming, he immediately put down the rabbit and stood up. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. He hid the panic in his eyes, opened his mouth, and made no sound.

"what happened?"

Keenly aware that something was wrong, Elizabeth walked over slowly, took her hand, and said softly, "Did you wait too long?"

"No..." Shaking his head, he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Does Your Majesty have anything to do with me...?"

"What did you call me?"

"Your Majesty." He repeated stubbornly, as if deliberately angry.

Sighing, she smiled helplessly, reached out to touch her hair, but was dodged, dazed, and said in a good temper: "Are you having trouble, little girl?"

"Didn't you call me by my name..."

"No?" In my impression, yes.

Reaching out her hand again, brushing her silky and thick black hair as she wished, the touch was so good, Elizabeth raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction, and pulled her into her arms, "Don't worry about such small problems, I want to eat dumplings for lunch , can you make it for me?"

It turned out that he was looking for her to eat dumplings.

Wronged, growing wildly in her heart like a virus, Jiang Xinyan struggled to push her away, and muttered: "Then why do you write my name, and write so much, I'm afraid I don't know you can write those three words?"

Panic, fleeting.

"Who told you to touch something on the table?" His tone was cold, and a sullen look in his eyes concealed the deepest uneasiness, and the hand wrapped around his shoulders tightly grabbed her chin.

Her cheeks were numb, and she couldn't feel the temperature of the liquid flowing through her.

"Don't cry!" She frowned, feeling inexplicably irritable.

"tyrant."

"??"

"tyrant!"

Jiang Xinyan roared back with red eyes not to be outdone, angrily tore away the hand pinching his chin, picked up the rabbit and rushed out the door.

I didn't chase after it, and there was no reaction...

Locked in the room and crying all morning, Jiang Xinyan scolded herself for being useless while drawing circles to "curse" Elizabeth, blaming the tyrant for all kinds of wrongdoings, rambling on, and didn't even eat lunch.

Until Olo Quiet|Midi came to see her...

In fact, the main reason is to lick the rabbit. The happy girl picked up the ashes and smashed them and didn't let go. She pulled her up from the bed like a dead fish, "Let's go, let's go out to bask in the sun, it's rare that the weather is so good, and we won't see the sun again It should be moldy!"

Jiang Xinyan, whose eyes were red from crying, looked at Olo's face full of cheerful smiles, as if he had been infected, and laughed too, continuing his interrupted walk plan, it would be better to have someone to accompany him.

Speaking of which, Olo was with her these days, but she didn't realize when it started. Jane didn't like to talk anymore, and she was cautious and polite to her. The old state of talking about everything seemed to be far away.

She had a big heart and didn't think much about it.

"I'm not here this morning, have you reviewed the theory well?"

The two of them went out with a rabbit arm in arm, and walked through the sunny corridor. The pale golden light gave their figures a layer of warmth, even though they seemed a little weak in winter in this high latitude area.

Jiang Xinyan nodded and lied. She didn't intend to tell Elizabeth's warning, which would increase Olo's panic for nothing. At most, she would just be careful in the future.

All of a sudden, he thought of that tyrant again, really, really annoying.

"Well, good student." Patting the back of her hand with satisfaction, her sweet smile was brighter than the long-lost sunshine, Olo pretended not to know how she cried, and said casually: "Eh? Didn't you say you wanted to cry last time?" Do you know what the queen looked like when she was a child? I have the impression..."

As expected, Jiang Xinyan's complexion changed, his eyes flickered, and his expression was a little complicated for a moment. She wanted to know, but didn't want to know.

As if confirming the conjecture in his heart, Olo said to himself while brushing his ashes: "I remember that I was 8 years old at that time, and my family went to the palace for Christmas. The king's name was Henry, and the queen was...Par Er, yes, that’s right, it’s her, the super gentle and virtuous Royal Sister! Then I met Prince Edward, the eldest princess Mary and the second princess Elizabeth.”

"King Henry is as fat as a pig, Queen Parr is very nice, um... the prince is sick and not interested, Princess Mary is graceful, as for Elizabeth..." Pausing for a while, he glanced at the people around him.

Sure enough, Jiang Xinyan pricked up his ears and listened silently.

"She gave me the feeling... perfect, but flashy, tsk, how to describe it? It's just..." Olo couldn't think of how to describe it for a while, and freed up a hand to gesture, "It's the kind of careful, sophisticated city in TV dramas." but you don’t think she’s fake, and on the contrary, she’s very comfortable to get along with, so it can be said that she has a high emotional intelligence, right?”

"Oh..." My heart hurts inexplicably, thinking of Elizabeth's miserable childhood.

"Her speech and behavior are really perfect, and she can't make mistakes. At first glance, she looks like a royal princess, but she always gives people a feeling of alienation, and she can't get close at all. She lacks the innate personality of Princess Mary. Confident. It wasn't you who asked me this the other day, and I couldn't think of how to describe her, because I didn't think so much when I was young~"

Olo's voice was as sweet as honey, but getting into her ears was more uncomfortable than a needle prick, and her heart seemed to be suffocating.

Some posterity once said that what makes a great queen is precisely the suffering she experienced in her childhood.This statement may be too absolute, but it is not unreasonable. In her opinion, those perfect and gorgeous evaluations of later generations are heavy shackles on Elizabeth.

She wanted Olo to stop, and after a daze, she stopped.

Raising his eyes, he looked at the two people walking towards him...

Elizabeth and ... Robert.

Eyes met, dazed, embarrassed, silent.

Her eyes fell on the arms they were holding together, she was surprised for a moment, and lost her mind for a moment, just like she saw herself and Olo holding hands in those indifferent gray-blue pupils.

"Your Majesty, my lord."

Her curtsy was standard and perfect, trying to maintain a calm and indifferent appearance.

And that person didn't speak.

The dappled sunlight pierced through the clouds and sprinkled on the top of her head, and the cool breeze with a faint fragrance rolled up a beam of golden light and shadow, blowing silently through her soft and long hair, like a pair of hands, gently stroking.

Until the footsteps passed them and gradually faded away.

Numbness, suffocation, the sound of broken glass hearts...
