The sun never sets rose

This is a cruel and cold-blooded era.

Winner takes all, loser for Kou.

Politics is like a high-level gamble, where others gamble money and politicians gamble their lives.

There is no right or wrong, only winning or losing.

History has proven that Elizabeth is the winner. She is aloof, holds real power, trusts no one, and relies on no one. She wins one game after another with her wisdom and skills, and her name will last forever and be recorded in the annals of history.

But she was so lonely all her life.

No relatives, no friends, no lover.

Such a person is worthy of respect, but it also makes people feel distressed. Many times, Jiang Xinyan will recall the cold written materials, and compare Elizabeth beside her, what is different and what is the same.

"Ugh……"

The wooden box contained the ashes of the dead body. Jiang Xinyan found a tree in the garden and buried it in the soil under the tree. Gradually, she remembered the memories of her and Elizabeth from the first time they met.

After squatting for a long time, my legs became numb.

Today the entire palace will move to Greenwich to spend the summer with the best weather in the year on the British Isles, and then move to Windsor Castle at the end of August to celebrate the Queen’s birthday and hunting season, and will not return to the palace until October.

Just think that this is her and Elizabeth's vacation, the pleasure of being relieved after the tension, and not thinking about those annoying things for a while.

"Go, go back and pack your things."

Helping Hannah to walk back, she met strange faces in twos and threes along the way, all of whom cast curious eyes on her. Jiang Xinyan felt that something was wrong, and quietly asked, "Why are there so many people in the palace today? Is there any activity?"

There were only a few ministers who often walked around the palace, and she also knew them, so she encountered so many awkward faces at once, and it was hard to avoid feeling uncomfortable.

Hannah carefully led her to the side as far as possible, and lowered her voice: "Lord Robert is knighted today, and the conferring ceremony will be held in Whitehall. These lords are present to watch the ceremony."

"Nobility? What title?"

"It seems to be... the Earl of Leicester."

She curled her lips and remained silent. She knew that it would be a matter of time before Robert would be awarded this title and title, but she wanted to hear it from Elizabeth. Obviously, the woman didn't tell her.

Jiang Xinyan was a bit apprehensive, with little emotion on his face. He had just walked near the Whitehall, planning to take a detour to avoid the crowd, when he met Elizabeth and Robert, who were surrounded by them, and came out from the side door of the Whitehall...

The moment her eyes met, she stopped in her tracks.

The thick and complicated purple dress was graceful and luxurious, and the high ruffled collar covered Elizabeth's slender neck, leaving only the low collar, revealing the white and sexy clavicle and the deep groove in front of the chest. Her long pearl necklace hangs down to her waist, without the bright brilliance, but shining brightly.

To be honest, Jiang Xinyan doesn't really understand this kind of fashion. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the whole body is wrapped airtight, only half of the chest is exposed. In the British Isles, where the annual average temperature is only 15°C, you will either get sick from covering or freeze. .

What's more, the ruff collar, which is called "Elizabeth collar" by later generations, is really like a dog collar...

Already familiar with palace etiquette, she quickly bent over and curtseyed, her eyebrows lowered pleasingly, hearing the footsteps of a group of people getting closer and closer, her heart was pounding with nervousness, and the palm of her hand that was holding her skirt leaked out. Sweaty, slippery.

Of course, the queen didn't stop calling her, passed by her without even looking at her, and left.

"..."

Looking at the distant figure, blocked by the princes and nobles, he could only see the crown studded with precious gems, which gradually blurred into a small golden dot in his sight and disappeared.

At this time there is only the Queen, without her Elizabeth.

"Miss, let's go." Hannah reminded her loudly.

After recovering, he nodded, "Oh... let's go."

In fact, Elizabeth saw her little rose.

The moment she stepped out of the White Hall, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by inexplicable guilt and discomfort, but she insisted on covering it up with a calm and indifferent mask.Although it was unclear why Little Rose appeared outside the Whitehall, she had no way to stop on this occasion.

After dismissing everyone, she left Robert alone.

The expression on the man's face was very smug, and he was completely different from the solemn and solemn look at the ceremony just now. He was still wearing a white waistcoat and fur dress. Who would have imagined that a few days ago he was worried that the Queen would kill him? lost him, and now returns to court as the Earl of Leicester...

This means that he will get a large amount of land and rewards, as well as an annual income of [-] pounds. Not only will he wash away his stigma as the son of a criminal, but he will also be among the most handsome and wealthy nobles in the country. He is even closer to his ultimate dream. took a step.

"Robbie, let's talk."

After closing the door, Elizabeth stretched out her hand to unbutton his vest cape, as gentle as a little woman who cheated on her.

She kept giving the man hints, until a pair of thick arms wrapped around her waist, turned around, and brought him into her arms.

"What are you talking about? Why don't you... go to bed and talk?" He breathed lightly and narrowed his eyes. In his opinion, the queen is just trying to get her. He has many tricks to deal with this kind of girl.

Elizabeth nimbly pushed him away, and said with a smile, "Even if we're talking on the bed, we have to be aboveboard, aren't we?"

"???"

"I want to marry you." Going around behind him, the long and slender finger bones gently pinched his shoulders, and cold waves surged in the depths of his invisible eyes.

Grabbing her hand, her throat tightened slightly, "But, Liz...I have a wife..."

Hearing this dream sentence with his own ears, spoken from the Queen's mouth, Robert couldn't ignore the excitement and joy in his heart, and his breathing rhythm slowed down instantly. His ultimate dream was the crown.

"I heard Amy was seriously ill. Have you seen her?"

"not yet……"

"Then take the time to visit her and show off by the way."

"In case it stimulates her..." He frowned in embarrassment, thinking of his wife who lived in the country and took care of the house and land. Since he stayed in the queen's court, he hardly went back to visit her. Somewhat guilty.

The servant had written last month that Amy was ill, and if he had returned with such news, it would not have dealt a severe blow to the poor woman.

Elizabeth went back to the table and sat down. She put away all her petite gestures and said seriously, "I'm not joking with you, Robbie, I need a legal marriage, a child, and a natural heir, so that I can The only person I trust is you, otherwise, why do you think I should knight you?"

Robert froze for a moment, then raised his head in shock, "You...are you serious...?"

His eyes fell on the shining golden crown, and he was firmly attracted by its dazzling but alluring color. A huge ruby ​​was inlaid in the center, flowing with the color of blood, cold and gorgeous.

The thing that countless people yearn for is right in front of him, within easy reach.

"of course."

"I don't care what method you use, as long as the marriage with your wife can be annulled within this month, we will get married." Casting away her soft eyes, Elizabeth is like a beautiful snake with a red letter, enchanting and passionate, with that A charming voice said word by word:

"Then, crown you."

"My God, Liz..." took a deep breath in disbelief, and then frowned again, "But will the Parliament and the Privy Council agree? Besides, this sounds like a deal, not out of love."

Elizabeth rubbed her forehead with a hurt look, "You can do whatever you want. Since you don't want to, I'll see if there is a suitable man. In short, I will not marry a foreign prince."

After speaking, he got up and wanted to leave.

"Liz!" Robert grabbed her arm eagerly and pulled her back, "I would, of course I would, no one loves you more than me..."

"But, your wife...?"

"I'll go and negotiate with her, don't worry, it's okay." She promised solemnly, her eyes glistening with greed, Elizabeth looked at his naturally handsome skin, and suddenly sighed with emotion.

Robert was not like this before. When we first met in the Tower of London, he was a good young man who loved life and art. Since he became her "rumored lover", his demeanor has become more and more greasy.

If he could be as wise, capable, and loyal as Cecil and Worthingham, then she would consider reusing him, but unfortunately, times have changed and things have changed.

There was a long line of carriages and horses parked at the gate of the palace. Jiang Xinyan sat in the queen's carriage and waited early. The red-clothed guards who came in and out of the palace gate were no strangers to her. Everyone was used to living in the palace. This foreigner.

Not long after, I heard "Your Majesty" from outside at the same time, as well as the sound of cloth rubbing against each other.

The car door opened, Elizabeth lifted her skirt and bent over, her indifferent eyes became gentle when they touched the well-behaved little man in the car.

She changed out of the outfit she wore in the morning, and wore a beige velvet dress with a simple style and fresh patterns. She only wore a string of thin pearl necklaces and a pair of earrings of the same color, which lacked the stern and majestic look of an emperor.

Just sat down, hugged Jiang Xinyan and put it on his lap, wrapped her arms tightly around her slender waist, and leaned against her bosom, "Xinyan, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No…"

The long-lost intimacy made Jiang Xinyan a little at a loss, especially when he was still reeling from the incident in the morning, his body stiffened slightly, and he lowered his head.

A soft kiss fell on the base of the ear, and he whispered: "I saw you outside Whitehall this morning, but the nobles and ministers are all there, so I can't stop..."

"You knighted Robert?" interrupted her.

"Um…"

"Don't tell me..." Jiang Xinyan muttered in a low voice, the smell of acetic acid gradually became stronger, she found that as long as it involved Robert, it was difficult for her to let go, and she couldn't stop her aggrieved eyes.

"This is not a reward for him, you will know later."

I have to admit that she likes to see Little Rose's sour and jealous look, which makes her feel that she is really cared about, not for profit and power.

Jiang Xinyan also seemed to realize that he was inexplicable, and felt a little sorry. With a blushing face, she took the initiative to kiss the corner of her queen's lips, and said arrogantly: "It doesn't matter, it's none of my business, don't tell me."

His face was swollen.

As he spoke, he looked around and changed the topic: "Do you have to spend every summer in Greenwich Palace? Are the guards safe there? No one will do you any harm..."

Ever since she heard Worthingham say to be careful of the Duke of Norfolk that night, she has been worried all day. After all, this ambitious man in history clearly wanted Elizabeth to die, but he liked to pretend to be innocent and loyal.

She wanted to talk about this person many times, but she would hold back at the last moment, fearing that she would make trouble and affect the judgment of her queen.
