[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Edward Seymour strode across the worn floorboards of his old Wiltshire home.

With his violent action, the cloak that was lifted was swept to the side decoration table, and as a result, a rough porcelain vase was smashed to pieces.

Jane Seymour in the living room was frightened by the movement outside and her fingers trembled. As a result, she pierced an embroidery needle into her slender fingertips. The pain caused her to put down her sewing and kept blowing on the wound, but But he didn't feel the pain in his fingers.

Maybe it was the days in the palace that had worn her pain nerves duller than the ax at home, so Jane Seymour's face had a kind of meekness to numbness.After all, patience is the best talisman for a moody queen. Only when she is numb to all external influences can Jane Seymour breathe out the dead breath that is suffocating in her chest.

"You rejected the king?" The first words of Edward Seymour, who hurried home, were doubts about his sister, not concern.

Jane Seymour nodded silently, and bravely said, "I don't want to be thrown into the Tower of London by the queen."

"Are you an idiot? That bullshit queen is not much nobler than you. As long as you are favored by the king, how can she throw you into the Tower of London?" Edward Seymour touched his hot forehead, eyes The child kept spinning, wondering whether the king would be angry at Jane Seymour's refusal, and whether his sister might become the king's mistress.

It can be said that the entire Seymour family was caught off guard by the king's sudden favor for Jane Seymour.

Their father, Sir John Seymour, had ambitious plans for his daughter to be Henry VIII's mistress, preferably a son to the king.In this way, even if their family is not as good as the soaring Boleyn and his son, but like Elizabeth Bronte's brother, they can get a better position through the king's illegitimate son.

As for the king officially marrying Jane Seymour as his wife, and letting the grandson of the Seymour family replace the Prince of Wales, the current Seymour family has not yet dared to think about it.

"I will write to His Majesty the King for you right away, and then I will find you an opportunity to meet His Majesty the King in private." Edward Seymour said in a tone that could not be refused: "You have to think about talking to Your Majesty the King these few days. What to say, I will let your sister-in-law tell you some necessary matters."

Speaking of this, Edward Seymour looked at his younger sister with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and some complained that his parents did not allow Jane Seymour to receive higher education, and even forgot that their brothers were the ones who caused Jane Seymour The culprit for Seymour’s lack of higher education: “If you have nothing to talk to His Majesty the King about, just stay quietly and use your poor brain to find something before His Majesty gets bored.” Do?"

Edward Seymour became more helpless as he talked: "Play poker, roll dice, anything is fine anyway, as long as you can find something to do."

Facing all kinds of requests from her brother, Jane Seymour, who has always been obedient, suddenly stood up and looked Edward Seymour in the eyes, then patted her skirt slowly, and said calmly: "I never regret that I rejected the king, you If you want someone to serve the king, go find someone who will. I'm sure there are plenty of women in the palace who desire the king's jewels, but I don't want to be torn to pieces by the queen."

After all, Jane Seymour lowered her elk-like eyes, walked around Edward Seymour calmly, and wanted to return to her room quickly, but was turned back by Edward Seymour, who was so painful that she wept .

"What do you mean. Huh? Tell me what you mean." Edward Seymour twisted his handsome face, and just wanted to raise his hand to teach his sister a lesson, but when he thought that she might see the king in the near future, he stopped Forcibly suppressing this anger, he decided to adopt a soft policy: "Jane, dear Jane. You should understand that the king's will cannot be changed, so for our family, but also for yourself, now accept the king's pursuit You still have time."

Although Edward Seymour's tone was very gentle, Jane Seymour saw only ambition in her brother's eyes that frightened her.

"You will be a second Elizabeth Bronte, a second Anne Boleyn." Edward Seymour coaxed: "Think of what you can get from the king, jewels, wealth, land, even a title .”

"Even if you can't win the king's permanent favor, you can still marry a noble husband." Edward Seymour expected Jane Seymour to be as docile and obedient as before, but after a long silence, the other party still rejected her brother's proposal .

"Which man can ignore that his wife was once the king's mistress?" Jane Seymour said indifferently: "Even if there is power to tempt, God will remember all the sins we have committed."

There was unprecedented determination in Jane Seymour's eyes, which made Edward Seymour slightly taken aback.

"I've seen Queen Catherine's loneliness, Queen Anne's sudden fall from favor, and Mrs. Bronte's helplessness." Jane Seymour is not as stupid as outsiders think, especially in the treacherous white world. In the palace, the ignorant people don't live long: "You may get a position, a piece of land, or even a noble title of baron or even earl, but what about me?"

"What can I gain?"

"All I can get is the look of perpetual disgust from my husband."

"All I can get is the title of a slut."

"What I can get is a poor child who will always be called an illegitimate child."

The more Jane Seymour spoke, the more excited she became, and her eyes even turned red: "I will never do such a shameless thing, because I will come into this world innocently, and then leave innocently."

After all, Jane Seymour pushed aside Edward Seymour's body in front of her, and trotted out of the house. As a result, she bumped into a tall visitor when she went out, which made her forehead hurt, but she didn't worry about it. Stay here or look up.

"I'm sorry, sir." Jane West wiped her tears, saluted the visitor who couldn't see her face clearly, and trotted back to the boudoir upstairs.

Edward Seymour in the living room quickly saluted the visitor, the sincerity and fear in his words could not conceal the ecstasy on his face: "Your Majesty, your arrival has made Seymour's family flourish, and please forgive Jane for her innocence. place of courtesy."

"I hope my sudden visit didn't make you feel uncomfortable." Henry VIII glanced at Edward Seymour, who had not yet reached the level of cultivation, and pretended not to see that his face could not conceal his ambition and greed. After being received, he unceremoniously took the main seat in the living room, picked up the embroidery left by Jane Seymour, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to call Jane over?" Edward Seymour carefully looked at Henry VIII's face until the latter gave a soft "hmm".

Jane Seymour thought she had found love, but instead she met a PUA.
