I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Fei'er's words aroused Xu Siling's interest.

It wasn't that he coveted Blanche's beauty.

Simply when I hear that everyone agrees on something, I can't help but be curious and want to see what the result will be.

Xu Siling's understanding of Blanche only lies in a few sentences in historical records, which is pitifully short.

Xu Siling can roughly guess what kind of person the other person is, but he has to have real contact with him to be sure. This is the same as contacting John II.

But he really doesn't understand the fact that Blanche is a great beauty.

Curiosity is curiosity, and Xu Siling certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to show it in front of Fei'er.

"Oh, what does it have to do with me?"

"Aren't you curious about the appearance of this French recognized beauty?"

"I'm just going to accompany you to the noble tea party tomorrow. I can't get involved in your women's chats."

Mayfair smiled and spread her hands: "If you are interested, you are interested, and I don't care. Anyway, Blanche is older than me, so she won't be your type."

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Fei'er slowly returned to her bedroom.

Xu Siling watched Fei'er's back disappear and slowly shook his head.

An eccentric girl, sometimes he couldn't figure out what Fei'er was thinking.

Touching the corners of his cracked mouth, he decided not to think about it so much and went back to his bedroom to rest.

The next day.

The weather is good. After the light rain, the air in Paris is much more comfortable.

A noble tea party was held in the afternoon.

The location of the event surprised both Fei'er and Xu Siling.

It was held in the private residence of the Dauphin, the home of John II.

The temporary change of venue was what Mrs. Milton told Mayfair this morning.

This sudden situation made Fei'er feel an uncomfortable feeling in her heart. It seemed that there was a big hand pushing something in the dark corner, but she couldn't notice anything.

Originally, the Crown Prince's wife, Madame Bonnet, rarely participated in such aristocratic tea parties. She mostly preferred to spend time with her family at home, let alone actively hold tea parties.

Surprised, I still have to attend the tea party.

It's just that Xu Siling was a little helpless. Yesterday, she thought that there would be many opportunities to meet John II, but she didn't expect that she would have to meet him for the second time in less than a day.

Considering that John was beaten into half a pig's head by him, he would definitely not run around until he recovered, and would only rest at home peacefully.

Moreover, the tea party was held at the residence of John II. Wouldn't it be possible to meet Charles V, who was still a child?

Not bad.

As the time for the tea party approached, Mrs. Milton took Faile into the carriage, while Xu Siling rode forward to clear the way.

For Xu Siling, the tea party is not important. What is important is being able to get in touch with and understand these historical figures.

What is written in history and what is experienced in person are, after all, two different things.

For example, there are not many descriptions of John II in history. He was in power for so many years and only highlighted a few points.

He was a good man, but his brain was weak, and his ability to govern was very poor. Anyway, before he died, he left a mess worse than his father's to Charles V.

Fortunately, Charles V was able to hold on. In the face of this mess, he was able to reverse the situation in the first phase of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, giving France a chance to breathe and recover.

The aristocratic mansions on the Isle of Lewis are not far from each other. Following the groom's signal, several people quickly arrived at John II's mansion.

There were servants at the entrance of the mansion ready to welcome him.

After the carriage and horses were handed over to the groom, several people headed towards the mansion under the guidance of Mrs. Milton.

The aristocratic tea party was not held in the banquet hall of the palace, but in the spacious garden courtyard.

The garden courtyard is furnished, the lawn is covered with fabrics and rugs, and the tables on the rugs are decorated with exquisite vases and silver or porcelain tea sets.

As soon as the three of them approached, Xu Siling felt that the entire venue exuded a luxurious and comfortable atmosphere.

Many noble women gathered together. They were well-dressed, wearing gorgeous gowns and dazzling jewelry.

The whole dress, hung around the neck, worn on the fingers, on the top of the head, and embroidered on the clothes, was all filled with precious jewels and gems.

Compared with these people, it seems that Feier's dress is much different.

Mayfair didn't wear too much jewelry, just some embroidery on her slim-fitting dress. Compared with others, she looked really simple.

Of course, it's not that Mayfair doesn't have money to buy jewelry, it's just that she didn't think about it so much when she came to Paris.

She searched John's property and found a lot of beautiful jewelry, but she didn't even bring it with her.

A few noble ladies gathered together to show off their charms to each other and share their interests and hobbies.

The aristocratic tea party is also an opportunity to display their family's social status and wealth.

This tea party was now hosted by the Crown Prince's wife, and at least most of the aristocratic women from the Paris circle came.

Everyone is hanging out in Paris, and no one wants to be compared.

Mrs. Milton soon met a familiar friend and quickly pulled Mayfair forward to chat.

Xu Siling was not stupid enough to keep following behind. He was here to accompany Fei'er, not to attend the aristocratic tea party.

What does it look like for a grown man to squeeze among the flowers of a woman?

He stood by the bushes in the garden courtyard, silently holding his shoulders.

Looking at the various refreshments prepared on the long table.

Exquisite snacks, small cakes, fruits.

They all looked good, but unfortunately, as he knew the standard of French cuisine, he knew they didn't taste that good.

More and more aristocratic women attended the tea party, and Xu Siling was dazzled as she stood nearby.

Mayfair's figure was already petite. She was among the crowd at the tea party. If she didn't look carefully, she would almost lose sight of her.

There were many beautiful aristocratic girls, but the one that made Xu Siling's eyes light up did not appear.

But I have to admit, it's not bad to see this group of noble women gathering together, with flowers blooming and orioles singing.

As the number of people increased, many people noticed Xu Siling standing quietly at the edge.

Xu Siling's appearance is not bad, with a clear face, black hair and brown eyes. He stands firm with his shoulders clasped, a noble two-handed sword slung around his waist, and has an extraordinary temperament.

Many aristocratic women are surprised that they rarely bring men to participate in aristocratic women's tea parties.

Could this man be a family member of John II?

No, the eldest boy, Charles V, is only ten years old this year. No matter how much his body grows, he will never look like this.

Although curious, not many people came forward to ask.

Just when Xu Siling was in a daze, a young boy's voice sounded next to him.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Xu Siling turned around and saw a little boy who was just as tall as his chest. He was gorgeously dressed and his face was so green that it made you want to pinch him.

Mainly because of his eyes, which were bright and sparkling with intelligence, and the way he looked at Xu Siling was full of curiosity.

When people see this child, they subconsciously feel good about him.

Especially the boy's facial features are very similar to the guy he beat yesterday.

"According to noble etiquette, when asking someone's name, shouldn't you tell yourself your family name?"

"I am Charles de Valois, Madame Bonnet is my mother, and this is my home. I have never seen you, and you don't seem to recognize me."

It was indeed Charles V. But what makes Xu Siren strange is that in this severely patriarchal society, people usually introduce themselves to the outside world by saying who their father is, but they have never seen someone like Charles V.

"Xu Siling, you came here with my lord."

"Are you the Xu Siling who beat up my father?!"

Charlie couldn't help being surprised when he heard Xu Siling's words.

Xu Siling retreated tactically. What's going on with John? He was beaten and couldn't talk about it when he got home?

He would definitely not tell anyone about such an embarrassing thing.

Without waiting for Xu Siling to reply, Charlie looked Xu Siling up and down again and said strangely: "Can you really beat my father? You don't look like you have been in a fight. Why are you not hurt at all?"

"Who said you have to get hurt in a fight?"

"You tortured my father!"

Charlie clapped his hands excitedly, leaving Xu Siling stunned for a moment.

"How did you talk about what happened yesterday when you asked your father to meet you?"

"When my father came back last night, he said that he had a fight with a knight in a tavern and was beaten to the ground. I still don't believe it." Charlie hugged his shoulders in an old manner and shook his head: "My father doesn't have much ability. The only aspect of fighting is that he is very good, even though it is not a very impressive skill."

Xu Siling scratched his face in wonder, why did he feel that Charlie seemed to look down on John.

"Mr. Siling, I have an immature idea that I would like to mention to you."

"You said."

"I hope you can beat my father a few more times, and it will be considered a great favor to our Valois family." Charlie said seriously, "Don't worry, you will be paid."

Xu Siling was stunned as something strange unfolded.

Charles V wanted to hire him to beat up John II?

Too filial.

According to a normal family, if you saw your father being beaten so badly yesterday, shouldn't you feel distressed and worried, and even feel disgusted with the murderer who beat his father?

How do you know that after he beat John II, Charlie, his son, was so happy.

"Alas." Charlie sighed, "You have also been exposed to my father. His brain is not very good. I even feel that he is mentally ill. He talks about chivalry all day long. After you beat him yesterday, he came home. It’s a lot quieter, and it didn’t bother me all day today. Mr. Siling, you are simply my savior!”

"Promise me to beat my father more times! I see that he is quite happy when you beat him up. Of course, don't worry, I will give you money or you can take a look at the jewelry and gems on my mother's body later. Which one do you like? I said, I’ll give it to you tonight.”

Xu Siling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he was about to reply, a female voice scolded him from afar.

Hearing this female voice, Charlie couldn't help but stiffen.

"Charlie, didn't I tell you to stop running around? What if you accidentally bump into a lady?"

Charlie quickly collected his emotions, then gave Xu Siling a warning look and stood upright.

There was a clever energy all over his body, which was completely different from John's stubborn temper.

"My mother." Charlie no longer spoke in a naughty tone, but spoke in an orderly manner: "This Lord Knight and I have similar interests, and we are chatting about poetry and distant places."

Bonnet?

John's first wife.

Xu Siling raised her eyes and looked at her carefully. Mrs. Bonnet, who was in her thirties, was wearing a gorgeous dress. She was carefully dressed and did not look old. She looked nothing like a woman who had given birth to nine children. Her charm was still there.

John and Bonet had a good foundation, otherwise they would not have given birth to such a handsome Charlie.

"Met the Duchess."

John was the Duke of Normandy, so it was right to call Bonnet that.

"Sir, my Charlie didn't cause you any trouble."

"how come."

"Charlie, come here, I will take you to see those ladies, they all want to see you."

Although Bonnet was curious about Xu Siling's identity, he obviously didn't want to have too much contact with the unknown man, so he stepped forward and prepared to pull Charlie away.

"Mother, I don't want to be among your women. I want to be with this Lord Knight more than these noble ladies."

"When did you become interested in knights? Don't you hate knights the most?"

"Who says I hate knights? I just hate the man who crazily educated me on the spirit of chivalry."

"Why are you talking? Don't say that about your father!"

Mrs. Bonnet looked at Xu Siling's face and showed an embarrassed smile.

Xu Siling understood, took a few steps back and turned away, leaving the mother and son chatting.

He stood in the bushes on the other side and took a look at Charlie.

Charlie was obviously more afraid of Bonnet than his father John. He dared not say anything more harshly, and was dragged into the garden courtyard by Bonnet to meet the noble ladies.

Before leaving, Charlie kept looking back at him, and secretly pointed at the jewelry on Bonnet's body, as if asking Xu Siling which one he was interested in.

Xu Siling looked at Charlie's leaving figure and couldn't help but smile to herself and shook her head.

John and Charlie, father and son, are truly a treasure.

In other words, these three generations are all living treasures.

John was a stubborn donkey who looked down on his father, Philip VI.

Charlie is a naughty man and looks down on his father John.

Is it a tradition in the Valois family for children to look down on their fathers?

Seeing the garden and courtyard becoming more and more lively, Xu Siling became bored. He looked around and saw no particularly outstanding-looking aristocratic girl.

He didn't know what Blanche looked like, but since she was touted by many aristocratic women as 'the beautiful wisdom of France', she must at least be a very eye-catching presence among the crowd.

Anyway, Xu Siling didn't know who it was.

Start walking along the perimeter of the garden courtyard.

If he stayed where he was, I felt like Charlie would find an excuse to find him.

Although he quite likes to stay with Charlie, this kid, it is Madame Bonnet's home court now, and if he is still there to influence Charlie, he is causing trouble.

While strolling around, Xu Siling suddenly came to a corner of the garden courtyard.

There is a pavilion inside, and there is a person sitting on a chair in the pavilion.

Xu Siling subconsciously wanted to bypass the pavilion and leave. Unexpectedly, the people in the pavilion noticed him and suddenly spoke to themselves.

The voice was clear and pleasant, but the tone had a gloomy tone.

"Don't rush me, I'll be there later."

Xu Siling stopped and looked at the woman in the pavilion.

Taking a closer look, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The girl is dressed in gorgeous aristocratic clothing, without too many jewelry embellishments, but she exudes an elegant and noble temperament. Her face is like an exquisite work of art, with beautiful facial features and almost pale skin.

Her golden hair was pulled up, and her brown eyes looked into the distance.

His eyes were as deep as those in the mountains and forests, and there was a gloomy atmosphere about him.

Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is an indescribable feeling. (End of chapter)
