The sun never sets rose

58

Stepping on the soft and flexible green lawn under your feet, it looks like a blue ocean of light waves. The fragrance of vegetation and soil is intertwined in the air filled with sweet smell. When you lose your vision, your hearing will be more sensitive, and your ears seem to echo The long and distant bell came from the front where she was going.

With a vague premonition in his heart, the little hands hidden under the cloak of the dress were so nervous that sweating, Jiang Xinyan stopped, and the darkness that was isolated from the outside world suddenly became less terrifying.

"Miss Jiang, we're here."

Reaching out to untie the black cloth for her, Mrs. Ashley's voice trembled, as if joyful.

"Um……"

Without the anxiety and uneasiness on the road, at this moment, her heart is as calm as a lake without ups and downs, as calm as the scene foreseen in her mind. When a ray of bright light leaks into the gap between the unraveling black cloth, she hears the heavy The thick wooden door was pushed open.

Outside the corridor stood a lifelike statue of an angel, and the walls were covered with exquisite and unique murals. A red carpet as thick as blood stretched from the foot to the end of the road. Bright lights led the way, and Cui Zhi accompanied him. Jiang Xinyan squeezed his sweaty palms tightly. Take a deep breath, step up, and walk slowly onto the red carpet.

This is a semi-open-air hall-style landscape courtyard, with two-color roses entwined with green vines and white stones planted on both sides. The fountain flows out the trickling clear water with a fragrance of flowers, and the alabaster stones are exquisitely carved to form hollowed-out pavilions, which are located at the end of the red carpet. , there, stood the person she read all night.

The same velvet dress is a graceful and luxurious dark purple, with a mink shawl embroidered with gold trim and dense threads. The sun shines on her shoulders according to her high coiled hair, and the dazzling golden light like holy light streams down a magnificence. , tightly enveloping her slender and tall figure, when she looked back, a bright and gorgeous stream of light bloomed in her gray-blue pupils...

The heartbeat stopped abruptly, then twitched and resumed its rhythm.

Elizabeth slightly raised the corners of her lips, and stretched out her hand to the girl who was walking towards her. The lines on her palm were deep and clear, dripping with scorching heat.

Finally, he walked up to her step by step.

Looking at each other, it was the night melting into the sea, Jiang Xinyan opened his mouth, his lips fluttered, and the stagnant and slow breath was quietly exhaled, and then deeply inhaled into his lungs, intoxicated and slightly sweet.

Gently raised his hand, let go of his fist, and carefully and solemnly put it into Elizabeth's soft palm. He was immediately wrapped tightly by a scorching heat, and the hanging heart suddenly calmed down and returned to peace. .

"Xinyan, this is a wedding that belongs to the two of us." A gentle, doting smile seeped into his eyes, carefully scrutinizing the gorgeous and flamboyant dress on the girl, the effect was better than expected.

This is the gown worn by the queen when she was crowned. Among the queens of England, only her mother and grandma have received a formal coronation ceremony. Therefore, the gown has been passed down to Little Rose and is the third generation.

The preparation only took about a month. Elizabeth didn't want her little Rose to be frightened, so she chose such a relatively secluded and romantic place. Even if there is no bishop, no priest, no God, it will not prevent them from becoming each other's love in this life. the other half.

From the relieved expression on Little Rose's face, she knew that she had done the right thing.

"Are you going to give me a surprise...?" His cheeks were slightly red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Ah."

This surprise is really surprising and delighting.

She didn't expect that everything would come so quickly.

The tall cross on the marble platform holds a half-length portrait of Queen Anne. In front of the painting is a pure gold crown made of broken diamonds into roses and clover and decorated with pearls and rubies. It reflects brightly under the sunlight. Luxurious radiance.

Elizabeth carefully held it up, stared down her eyes, and said softly: "This crown belongs to the queen of England. It has been passed down from the time of the Plantagenet family to the present. The women who have worn it have held a formal coronation ceremony for the queen, and its The previous owner was my mother."

Ironically, among the six wives of Henry VIII, only Queen Anne held a grand and formal coronation ceremony. In addition to the crown, she was also crowned with the "St. Edward's Crown". Henry VIII said casually: She is an illegitimate daughter.

Then she changed from a princess to an illegitimate daughter, and then from an illegitimate daughter to a princess again, capriciously.

Looking across the portrait, Jiang Xinyan froze for a moment.

"Now, it's yours."

He raised his eyes and smiled slightly, raised the tiara in his hand, and gently put it on the girl's head, pressing down her long black and soft hair, with a firm and gratified gleam in his eyes.

Good weight……

This was Jiang Xinyan's only feeling. She didn't dare to bow her head, and didn't dare to turn her neck casually. She wanted to thank Mrs. Ashley for pulling her hair, which at least fixed the heavy crown.

For her, this is a promise, a ceremony, which does not imply responsibility and power, let alone bear the weight it bestows.

"Xinyan, give me your hand."

"Oh... well..."

Passing over her left hand, a ring engraved with the royal family's coat of arms was gently slipped into her ring finger, with a red dragon on the left and a lion on the right. The coolness of the metal brushed against the warm skin, causing a tremor.

It is exactly the same as the ring on Elizabeth's hand. This should belong to the king, a symbol of status and power.

"this…?"

"Wedding ring."

Nonsense, Jiang Xinyan wanted to roll her eyes, she couldn't wear this coat of arms, and was about to take it off, Elizabeth grabbed her disobedient little hand, and smiled mysteriously: "Look, there is a mystery~"

As he spoke, he opened the cover with the pattern, and there were two miniature portraits inside. From the hair color, one was Elizabeth and the other was her.

Then he opened the ring on his hand, which confirmed what she said when she first came here.

It's a portrait of Queen Anne...

No one knows this secret except her and Elizabeth.

The memory flooded in a flash, and Jiang Xinyan didn't realize that his eyes were slightly wet. He carefully covered the rings of the two of them, and interlocked his fingers: "Liz, I don't want a crown, and I don't want to be a queen. I just want this ring..."

"Ok?"

"Because... in my heart, you are not the queen, but Elizabeth... The person I marry today is not the queen, but Elizabeth..." As he spoke, his voice choked up, and a crystal teardrop dripped from the corner of his eye, slipped down his cheek, and seeped into his lips , Taste the saltiness on the tip of the tongue.

I don't know what kind of tears these are.

Joy, or... love?

It was supposed to be a happy and romantic day, but it made Little Rose cry. For the first time, Elizabeth felt the panic and helplessness of being at a loss. ,OK?"

"Huh..." Jiang Xinyan pouted and laughed, punched her lightly, and reached out to take off the crown.

"Don't pick it off, I'm giving it to you." Pulling down her arm forcefully, her tone was irresistible, "I won't be a wife-killer like my father."

"..."

"but……"

"what?"

"But if you betray me, I will kill you with my own hands." The tenderness faded away, a trace of coldness and hostility flashed in the bottom of the eyes, and through the gray-blue pupils full of control, paranoia and stubbornness, one can see the depths of it. Deep uneasiness.

After all, it’s still not enough to give you a sense of security...

In the evening, return to Greenwich Palace.

It was agreed that today is a day for two people, but as soon as she came back and changed her clothes, Elizabeth was "abducted" by her ministers, saying that it was an "investment" matter, and it was extremely urgent.

Jiang Xinyan ate dinner in silence by himself, washed himself deliciously, rolled on the bed in a silk nightgown, and played with the ring on his hand intently.

The lid was closed and opened again, and the portrait inside was as vivid as she had seen on the computer, the simple gold and copper color, decorated with rubies cut into squares, but the place where Queen Anne was originally painted became her.

Such a small ring is what surprises and moves her the most. It is a promise and an oath. She can say that she has changed the details of history, but she can't stop moving forward. It turns out that she is so greedy. Looking forward to this forever...

Familiar voices came from the outside, followed by the footsteps of the maids retreating one by one. Elizabeth wiped her wet hair and pushed the door in. The ankle-length white nightgown melted into the dim candlelight, like a ghost floating in an old castle. ghost.

Jiang Xinyan was startled by her, turned over, and sat up hugging the pillow, "When did you come back?"

[I can’t drive the car behind, I’m helpless]

Spoiler alert: Queen

but!

Our proud and domineering queen will attack back!
