I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 174 There are only two kinds of people in this world [Please subscribe]

"Things you shouldn't have are too much to reach out for."

After speaking, Blanche shook off Xu Siling's supporting hand and stood alone.

Xu Siling knew that Blanche was not throwing her temper at him, but at herself.

I happened to overhear some content in Boggs's bookstore this time, and it was a worthwhile trip.

First, we need to know where the letter Khamis mentioned before his death is now.

Later, it involves the doubts about Blanche's appearance at the aristocratic tea party.

If Blanche attended a tea party held by an ordinary female noble, many people would be surprised.

This aristocratic tea party was hosted by the Crown Prince's wife. As a member of the royal family, it would not seem out of place for Blanche to attend a tea party hosted by a member of the royal family.

As a result, many people ignored what Marquis Boggs said.

Blanche must have had Philip VI's intention behind her ability to leave the palace, otherwise she would never have appeared in public view easily.

Thinking of this, Xu Siling became a little narcissistic.

Could it be that Philip VI told Blanche his identity and then asked Blanche to come to the noble tea party to scold him?

Of course, this is simply impossible.

Because his appearance at the aristocratic tea party was an accident in itself.

Xu Siling did not think as deeply as Marquis Boggs thought. He believed that the reason why Philip VI asked Blanche to appear at the noble tea party was to allow Blanche to contact Mayfair as a member of the royal family.

Although this reason is a bit far-fetched.

Because the royal family also includes John and Bonnet, they also have access to Mayfair.

But this reason barely makes sense.

He also didn't get enough information to guess the purpose of this matter.

On the contrary, Xu Siling was very curious. If Blanche could appear in the Paris market today, she would go to the Latin Quarter of Paris for art and academics to meet people.

Who does she want to see?

The identity of the person Philip VI allowed her to meet outside the palace must not be simple.

But Blanche didn't seem to take the meeting too seriously, and actually used Chris as an excuse to perfunctory the meeting.

How strange.

You can feel Blanche escaping from the front. The question is, what is she escaping from?
Xu Siling was not very interested in Blanche. If she were not a member of the royal family and her deeds in French history were worthy of sympathy, Xu Siling would really not care.

Seeing that Blanche's face was still looking very bad and her face was still so pale, Xu Siling sighed inwardly.

He and Mayfair have long been inclined to support the royal family.

The main reason is that no matter what the situation of Philip VI is, at least he will not live for a few years, and by then the kingdom will be in John's hands.

John and Charlie, father and son, are worthy of support and assistance.

And he was curious about what Blanche's future fate would be.

Historically, both Philip VI's wife and John's wife died of the Black Death.

Now because of his and Mayfair's appearance, there is a high probability that nothing will happen to them.

Blanche's future has also changed because of this. She may not be engaged to John or marry Philip VI.

Not even the Queen of France.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for her?

From a historical perspective, because of Xu Siling's appearance, Blanche was unable to become the Queen of France, and he had to bear some of the blame.

"Don't think too much, think better. You can drink more hot water when you go back."

Blanche glanced at Xu Siling with her brown eyes, wondering what the use of drinking more hot water would be.

"I have nothing to think about. I have already accepted these realities. For me, reality is despair. I never expected to say these words to others one day, but you are different, Xu. Anyway, I hate you, and I don't How much respect do you need for me? I suffer too much from superficial respect."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Xu Siling silently agreed, and when he thought of something, he explained: "If you really accept the reality, you must learn to control yourself."

"Control yourself?" Blanche looked slightly uncomfortable and turned her head. Her delicate profile made people couldn't help but take a few more glances: "My life is full of despair. Can I control myself in despair?"

"I used to be just like you. I despaired of the reality of this world, but at least I never despaired of myself. What determines whether life is boring or not, happy or ordinary, is not reality, but myself. All of this Everything is decided by me.”

Blanche pursed her lips slightly: "I know you want to relieve me, but there is no need. I have suffered your kindness. Your kindness is also a kind of harm to me."

The two of them slowly walked around the courtyard and walked outside.

Xu Siling had no intention of arguing with her. If she wanted to hide in a corner and draw circles to isolate herself, that had nothing to do with her.

I just thought that Blanche might not become the Queen of France in the future, and this was all because of her own appearance.

Blanche, who cannot become the Queen of France, may have an even more miserable life. Is it really possible for Blanche to die alone in the palace, depressed?

"Blanche, have you ever considered your own thoughts, or dreams?"

"Dream?" Blanche was surprised that Xu Siling would discuss this topic with her.

She had a good impression of Xu Siling in her heart, but because of the misunderstanding when they first met, she had to pretend to dislike Xu Siling's attitude.

If it were anyone else, Blanche wouldn't bother to say a word, no one would care about her thoughts, no one would care about her life.

The cares expressed on the lips are all superficial.

No one takes her seriously.

But Blanche still hopes in her heart that there will be someone who understands her, such as Xu Siling.

At least she didn't have to pretend to be a noble and polite royal princess in front of Xu Siling, she could say whatever she wanted.

"I've had it before. I want someone to take me to see the scenery around the kingdom one day. I want to see the difference between the sky at the Royal Palace in Paris and the sky outside Paris."

"what about now?"

"Of course not now. Maybe there is. At least when I see those artistic landscape paintings, I will imagine that I can see all the vistas painted with my own eyes like the painter."

Blanche thought of something, smiled bitterly, and shook her head.

"Why do I tell you about art? In your eyes, it's useless anyway."

It seems that the 'uselessness of art' he mentioned earlier has done a lot of damage to Blanche.

Xu Siling coughed lightly.

"Sometimes as long as a person has a dream, he will have a reason to be strong. If the heart does not have a place to rest, it will be wandering wherever it goes. It can be seen that you have a deep understanding of art."

"Wandering?"

Xu Siling's words made Blanche lower her head in thought.

This passage seems to be talking about Blanche.

Of course she had never been homeless, but she knew what it was like to be homeless.

She stayed in the palace all day long, but her heart was not here and she didn't know where it was.

Just like Xu Siling said, there is no place for desire deep in her heart. She hates the palace and Paris.

She stayed in the palace. Although she had never really wandered, it was no different from wandering.

"Princess Blanche, everything has a price. When you are ready to enjoy the benefits it brings, you have to think about whether you can afford the price it brings."

Xu Siling specially called Blanche the princess, wanting to wake her up.

"I have seen too many people in this world. In their current state, they are all burdened by the choices they have made. For example, there is a girl in distress who enters the bathhouse and is used to talking and laughing just lying down. After making money, she naturally cannot accept getting up early every day and working hard to make money, but the consequence is that this may be the case for her life. "

"For example, if someone becomes a robber and thief and gets something for nothing easily, then he naturally can't bear to do hard work and earn the hard money. But the consequence is that he is likely to be successful one day. Prison, or death in the streets.”

"For another example, if someone is addicted to gambling and sees others earning a year's hard-earned salary in one night, then he may not see the risk of losing, but just thinks that 'winning is easy.' The consequences are , he will lose everything without exception."

"They all carry forward the burden due to their own choices, and bear what they should bear." Blanche finally felt this time that Xu Siling's simple and rude words were really trying to comfort her, and were not just superficial politeness.

This crude way of giving examples was the first time someone had chatted with her like this.

"Xu, you know, I have no choice."

Blanche thought that Xu Siling cared so much about her, and for some reason she suddenly felt much more comfortable. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and her face looked much better.

"But thank you very much for your willingness to consider me. You clearly know that I hate you."

Xu Siling said helplessly: "I don't expect you to change your attitude towards me, nor do I expect you to like me. Anyway, in the future, for the sake of my understanding of you, just don't embarrass me."

Blanche thought of something and smiled like a flower blooming. Xu Siling was stunned for a moment by that beautiful smile overflowing with emotion.

She was like a child, with a slightly naughty tone.

"No, I don't want it."

Xu Siling came back to her senses and couldn't help but shake her head.

He thought of something, looked at Blanche's naughty smile, and said slowly.

"Do you know Enri?"

"Enri, the female guard next to Miss Raya, right?"

"Yes, that's her."

"What's wrong with her?" Blanche wondered.

"To me, there are only two kinds of people in this world, one is Miss Raya, and the other is Enri."

Blanche found that talking to Xu Siling was completely different from talking to other people, and she liked this kind of interaction more and more.

"Why do you say that."

"Because I once picked two portions of fruit, one for Miss Raya and one for Enri."

Xu Siling slowly told Blanche this past story.

"When Enri eats fruits, she always picks the best fruits and eats them first."

"And Miss Raya likes to save the delicious fruit for last."

"Anli is very happy because every piece of fruit she eats is the best left. Logically speaking, should Miss Raya be happy or unhappy?" Xu Siling asked Blanche.

"She must be unhappy," Blanche said subconsciously, "because every piece of fruit Miss Raya eats is the worst one left."

"Theoretically speaking, it is true, but the reality is not. Miss Raya is also very happy. There is not a big direct difference between the two, but there is a big difference in how they treat things. That is, Enri has memories, and Miss Raya has hope."

Blanche murmured: "Memories. Hopes?"

"Miss Raya knows that her next fruit will be better, just like life has hope for life and expectations for the future. Someone tells herself in her ears that your future will be better than now."

Xu Siling gave Blanche a thoughtful look.

"Princess Blanche, in my eyes, there are only these two kinds of people in this world. So do you think you are the former or the latter?"

"I"

As the two were chatting and walking, Marquis Boggs and Catalino came towards them, interrupting their conversation.

Marquis Boggs looked solemn and smiled.

But Catalino was not good at acting, so he smiled a little fakely and pretended to be surprised.

"I heard from my sister Chris that she invited the beautiful and wise beings of the kingdom and the perfect knight of the kingdom to her home. I still don't believe it. You have to know that these two are the most difficult people to date in Paris."

Catalino had seen Blanche from a distance several times before, but now that he saw Blanche up close, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Basically, anyone who sees Blanche up close for the first time will be surprised by her exquisite facial features and beauty.

Because of Xu Siling, Blanche's previous depression has mostly disappeared, but now she feels much more comfortable.

Although she was looking at the two father and son who spoke ill of her in front of her, she smiled politely and showed the nobility of a royal princess so well that no one could see anything out of the ordinary.

"I happened to be passing by, and Miss Chris invited me, so I came. I hope I won't disturb the Marquis of Boggs."

Catalino felt a little embarrassed when Blanche didn't reply to him.

There was a huge difference in status between the two. He was praised by Marquis Boggs in the bookstore, and he seemed a little proud of himself.

"How could it be? It's an honor for us to have you appear in the mansion."

This was the first time for Marquis Boggs to meet Xu Siling.

Xu Siling has a clear face, mature and steady appearance, and looks calm, polite and neither humble nor overbearing.

Catalino saw that Blanche had nothing to say after a few polite words with his father, so he took the initiative to say hello to Xu Siling.

"Perfect Knight, I saw you at the banquet in Talmu Castle, and I still remember the wonderful duel between you and Tal."

"You can call me by my first name." Xu Siling raised her eyebrows lightly, "I also remember you. At the banquet, you tried to dissuade Hamis from his rude remarks and actions."

Catalino laughed bitterly: "It's a pity that I didn't persuade him."

"That's why we say he deserves to die. A nobleman who violates the teachings of the Holy Religion really deserves to die, right?"

Catalino's face suddenly stiffened. He didn't expect Xu Siling's words to be aggressive, but he couldn't deny it at all.

"Yep."

Now that everyone is dead, whatever you say is right.

"Thanks for being able to see this issue the same way."

Blanche looked at Xu Siling. If she hadn't been standing in front of the two of them, she would have covered her mouth and snickered.

Xu Siling was obviously trying to blame him. It wasn't very harmful, but it was very insulting.

At least Blanche saw it and was relieved.

Marquis Boggs didn't talk to Xu Siling. It was obvious that he wanted to win over Xu Siling, but with Blanche here, this was not a good opportunity.

Because of Xu Siling's strange aura, the four of them had little to talk about.

Xu Siling took the opportunity to tell him to leave the mansion, and Blanche did the same.

"I'm very sorry for neglecting two distinguished guests. Chris is probably in the bedroom, I don't know what she is doing."

Blanche shook her head gently: "It's okay. Miss Chris and I are friends. I had a great time drinking tea and chatting with her in the courtyard earlier. She has fulfilled her obligations as a host, so don't blame her."

After a few more polite words, the Boggs and his son wanted to send them to the door of the mansion, but Blanche persuaded them to stop.

After Xu Siling and Blanche left, Marquis Boggs looked at his son strangely.

"Catalino, it seems to me that Knight Raya has a grudge against you."

"How could it be? Today is the first time I have spoken to him. Although I also feel that his tone is weird."

The two came to the door of the mansion, and Blanche's carriage was already ready.

With the help of a servant, Blanche got into the carriage.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xu Siling and Blanche were not suitable for communicating too deeply, and he was about to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, Blanche, who had not gotten into the carriage, called him softly.

Blanche motioned for him to come closer.

Looking at the silk cloth of the carriage being lifted, Blanche smiled slightly and beautifully, her pink lips slightly parted, and she spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Knight Raya, if according to you, there are only two kinds of people in this world, I think I am the former, because I only have memories and no hope."

"But since I met you, I especially hope that I can be the latter."
