I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

A few days later, Xu Siling received a gift.

It’s better to say that it’s a pair of women than a gift.

Still a very beautiful one.

She has a curvy figure and her eyes are so charming that they can kill people.

Unfortunately, no matter how pretty they are, they can't compare to Blanche and Ella.

Perhaps it is not appropriate to compare Blanche and Ella to every woman.

But the problem is.
After seeing so many beauties, it is basically unrealistic to find a woman prettier than Blanche and Ella.

Or maybe it was just because of his personal taste. In the eyes of others, this pair of gifts was comparable to Blanche's, but unfortunately, for Xu Siling, it was still not enough.

But Xu Siling knew very well that this gift was sent by Edward III.

This is a gift symbolizing friendship.

As for why send a woman.
It’s not difficult to understand either.

He, Xu Siling, is the first knight of France.

What made him famous throughout the world was not how strong he was, nor how outstanding his achievements were.
But it was for the sake of women that he was able to bravely break into the royal wedding scene, open the mouth of the King of France, and take away the king's fiancée.

This absurd chivalrous romance undoubtedly made outsiders label Xu Siling as lustful.

In this regard, Edward III felt that this was the most similar point between him and Xu Siling.

Both of them are lustful.

Xu Siling admitted that he was lustful, and there is no man who is not lustful, but being lustful does not mean that he would be as promiscuous and sex addicted as Edward III.

Xu Siling even learned that this pair of gifts had been Edward III's lovers the day before.

This made Xu Siling speechless.

Edward III slept with countless women, and it is unknown whether he was sick or not. Even if he was, it would not be surprising.

After learning about this, Xu Siling stayed away from this gift.

Just throw the gift away.

Not only Edward III was surprised by this, but Philippa was also surprised.

Although Philippa was out of favor, she was somewhat marginalized in the palace and was not well-liked by her husband.

But she still knew everything that happened in the palace.

My husband likes to give away the women he has slept with, and this happens more than once or twice.

After the gift was given, several people would privately discuss the beauty of the woman they had given it to.

Philippa originally thought that Xu Siling would accept this gift, whether because of Xu Siling's label as lustful or because Xu Siling should reconcile with Edward III, this gift should be accepted.

No one expected that Xu Siling would drive the woman away directly.

At the instruction of her husband Edward III, Philippa had no choice but to find an opportunity to ask Xu Siling the reason.

Xu Siling's answer was simple and crude.

"She's not as pretty as the French princess, so I don't like her."

When Philippa got the answer and was about to leave, she was teased by Xu Siling.

"If she were half as pretty as Queen Philippa, perhaps I would consider it."

Philippa covered her mouth and laughed as she left, knowing that Xu Siling was trying to make her happy.

The answer was reported to Edward III, who was both angry and amused.

He had never met Blanche, but he knew of her beautiful name - a beautiful and intelligent French woman.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, at least you have seen a pig run.

He didn't know how beautiful Blanche was, but he knew how beautiful his mother, Queen Isabella, was when she was young.

When Edward III was old enough to understand things, Isabella was just over 20 years old. Although European women age quickly, she was still at her most feminine.

Blanche is related to Queen Isabella by blood. Blanche is a beautiful and intelligent French woman. When Isabella married to England, her beauty was also recognized and she was known as the Beauty of England and France.

Although this kind of title is somewhat exaggerated.

But it doesn't stop them from being really good-looking.

Edward III had never seen Blanche, but he could imagine her beauty.

"He is so bold. I have never seen a woman prettier than my mother. If there really is one, would I be willing to give it to him?"

Philippa didn't pay much attention to this matter. After she left the palace, the servant following her immediately told Edward about Xu Siling's previous teasing of Philippa.

Edward was surprised to hear this.

"He's interested in my wife?"

Edward, who was promiscuous by nature, was not angry at Xu Siling's words because he had unclear ideas about women.

Even nodded thoughtfully.

"Indeed, sometimes young women, no matter how beautiful they are, cannot learn those feelings right away."

But Edward felt strange again.

Because Philippa was a very conservative woman, she was often distressed by his promiscuity and found it difficult to let go in bed.

Does Xu Siling value the identity of queen more?

There's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes a good identity can add points and increase the excitement.

That night, Edward returned to the room to sleep with Philippa, which was rare.

Just when Philippa thought her husband was tired and wanted to rest, she was so furious by his words!
Edward actually asked Philippa to sleep with Xu Siling!

Edward had no possessiveness towards women and was even willing to share them. Queen Philippa was just a tool for him to help him have a legitimate child.

When they first got together, although it was a marriage of arrangement, they would develop some feelings for each other after spending more time together.

Especially since the young Edward was not yet king, his physical and mental energy was focused on Philippa and he had no chance to develop his promiscuous nature.

Edward became king and kicked his mother off the throne.

There is no one who can restrain him anymore.

His promiscuous nature was unleashed.

The conservative Philippa naturally couldn't accept it, and their relationship gradually became cold.

The relationship between the two really started to deteriorate when Edward III won the Battle of Crécy. When he was about to attack Calais, Philippa insisted on stopping him.

This incident made Edward III suddenly realize something.

That was Philippa, a Frenchwoman after all, a Valois woman who had lived in France, even in Calais.

"Outsiders are outsiders after all."

Once this thought comes up, it will never go away.

Edward could no longer open up to his wife, and he fell into promiscuity.

But even so, the two of them were still in harmony on the surface.

At least Philippa no longer wanted to restrain Edward, and Edward was too lazy to pay attention to Philippa.

However, unexpectedly, from the victory of the Battle of Crécy to the present, the two men have been in a cold war for two years.

Edward returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed with her. The first thing he said was not to ask her to take off her clothes.

But let her sleep with other men? !

Philippa thought Edward was crazy.

She had a good impression of Xu Siling, and she even liked to stay with Xu Siling and tell her grievances that could not be told. Xu Siling was like a quiet listener who would comfort her and encourage her to be strong.

But this goodwill ends at the identities of the two people.

Xu Siling would occasionally say something that went beyond teasing, but that was nothing.

After all, there are too many knights who are good at talking nonsense, or rather, there is no knight who doesn't like to talk nonsense.

Besides, no matter how vulgar Xu Siling's words were, could her husband do anything outrageous? When getting along with Xu Siling, Xu Siling teased her, but never did anything beyond the limit, and was extremely respectful to her.

But Edward's proposal once again refreshed Philippa's lower limit of her understanding of her husband.

She gradually lost her mind and cried and drove Edward away.

Edward got angry and didn't bother to care about Philippa anymore, so he went to sleep with other women.

Philippa hid in her bed and cried all night.

After dawn, Philippa calmed down and left the palace, went out of London, and went to the manor to find Queen Isabella.

To put it simply, she was complaining and she told Isabella about it.

Isabella was equally surprised when she learned about this.

"Ridiculous! How can you push your wife into the arms of another man?"

Philippa felt much better when she heard this.

But Isabella's next words made her faint for a moment.

"But what's even more ridiculous is you, Philippa! You are the Queen of England, and you have the nerve to come and tell me such a thing? Don't you have any shame? Don't you know what humiliation is? You need to learn to have some dignity."

"You are the queen! Act like one!"

"You shouldn't have let this happen, but it happened!"

"That's your problem, Philippa. When the king showed signs of trouble, you should have stopped him from making bad choices and decisions."

"But what about you? You did nothing! You just acted helpless and incompetent, lying at the door of my son, eavesdropping on your husband and another woman having fun and wiping tears!"

"Get out!"

Philippa left the manor in a daze and returned to the palace again.

In fact, Isabella did not say anything wrong.

Edward III was the King of England, and his becoming like this was somewhat related to Philippa's inaction.

But this is from Isabella's perspective.

Women in the Middle Ages could have high status, but not necessarily high position.

Not everyone can be as strong-willed and controlling as Queen Isabella.

You know, Queen Isabella was known in history as the She-Wolf of France.

Most women in the Middle Ages, even those of nobility, were like Philippa.

Life when you are young can be a little absurd.

But in the end, everyone will become conservative.

As a wife, it is extremely normal not to interfere too much with your husband's thoughts and affairs.

Just like Ella.

As Xu Siling's wife, Ella never thought of stopping Xu Siling's ideas or what he wanted to do.

She will only support silently behind the scenes and provide help within her ability when needed.

This was a habit, or a common problem, among women in the Middle Ages.

Not that Ella and Philippa wanted to.

But this was the case for most women in the Middle Ages.

From Isabella's perspective, she was right to scold Philippa.

Because when Isabella was queen, there was a world of difference between her and Philippa.

Isabella wants to control everything. If her gay husband looks at a man on the street a few more times, she wants to break the man's legs - there's nothing wrong with that.

Whenever someone met with her gay husband in the reception room of the palace, Isabella would arrange for someone to be there to listen.

As a queen, Isabella's actions were astonishing.

But Philippa couldn't do what Isabella did. Most of the time, she didn't dare to say "no" to Edward.

Edward III was promiscuous and made a series of wrong decisions, which, in Isabella's eyes, were all related to Philippa's inaction.

In her opinion, if Philippa was tougher and showed the aura of a Queen of England, she would be able to prevent her king son from making mistakes.

Therefore, the conversation between the two was destined to end in a bad mood.

Philippa, who seemed to have lost her soul, returned to the palace and subconsciously approached Xu Siling's yard.

When she came to her senses and realized what was happening, she immediately turned around in panic and tried to leave.

However, what he didn't expect was that he happened to run into Xu Siling returning from outside.

"I'm sorry, I just got back and didn't know the queen was looking for me."

"I"

Philippa didn't know what to say for a moment. She was in a very complicated mood and felt that she shouldn't be here at this time.

Xu Siling noticed Philippa's strange behavior, but he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he pretended not to notice anything, smiled gently, and motioned Philippa to follow him into the yard and sit down.

Philippa, who lacked her own opinion, entered the yard reluctantly.

"Queen, you don't look very well. Are you feeling unwell? How about I call a doctor for you?"

Philippa quickly waved her hand to refuse.

Despite Xu Siling's repeated questioning, Philippa still refused to explain the reason.

This aroused Xu Siling's curiosity even more, because Philippa was not a talkative woman, and he could make Philippa open up her heart with just a few simple guidance.

Why is her abnormality so severe this time?
Seeing that Philippa didn't want to talk, Xu Siling didn't ask her any more questions. Instead, she smiled and comforted her.

"As the Queen of England, it is normal to feel pressure. I understand your feelings. Just like me, a perfect knight of France, I also feel pressure from time to time."

"But no matter what happens, please believe that the queen is kind and God will stand by you and favor you."

“It will rain in everyone’s world. You must learn to hold an umbrella for yourself.”

"It doesn't matter. You can share your happiness with me at any time, and you can also complain to me at any time. I will listen to you. I will always support you, Queen."

"When you encounter problems, don't think it's your fault. The queen is already great. I don't believe that other women can do as well as the queen."

With Xu Siling's three tricks of rhetoric, I thought I could easily get Philippa to open her mouth.

Unexpectedly, Philippa's tear box opened before her mouth.

Philippa had never heard anyone say these words to her since she married Edward III.

Her husband despised her, her mother-in-law disliked her, and her daughter looked down on her.

No matter what she did, it would always be wrong in their eyes.

Especially what happened last night, plus the words Isabella had said to her were still fresh in her mind.

Xu Siling's gentle and caring words immediately made Philippa burst into tears.

Just cry.

She even threw herself into Xu Siling's arms and cried.

Out of politeness, Xu Siling stiffened her lips and didn't dare to push him away.

He glanced at the servants in the yard.

The servants all acted as if they were blind, turned away and pretended not to see anything.

Xu Siling wanted to curse.

But in order to get Philippa to talk, he still tried to comfort her under pressure.

However, unexpectedly, after Philippa was comforted, she stopped crying, and even felt much better after crying.

But when she sobered up, she immediately stopped being shy and fled from Xu Siling's yard.

Xu Siling got nothing, and had nothing in her hands. (End of this chapter)
