At the same time.

The Count's Mansion of Bourva.

After the dinner, Xu Siling was in the window of the corridor, watching the light rain outside.

Milton, the third son of the Count of Bourva, received the news in the afternoon and immediately returned to the mansion to welcome Phil.

The two met when they were children, and the relationship between the elders is good, although they have not been in contact for a long time, but the relationship is deeper than ordinary people.

Not to mention that Fei'er already belongs to a very influential category of people in the aristocratic circle of the French Kingdom, and even some marquis may not have as much influence as Fei'er.

The dinner was a joyous one, at least it seemed like everyone was happy.

Xu Siling sat quietly in his position and ate his own.

It's not that Milton didn't notice Xu Siling, a knight, but compared to Xu Siling, he cared more about the two-handed sword on Xu Siling's waist.

The original owner of this two-handed sword was John, but after John's death, his property was liquidated, and this two-handed sword was of high quality and good style, so it was given to Xu Siling by Fei'er.

Milton had met Johns, who had played with Johns' two-handed sword as a teenager.

Now that I see these hands again, they are no longer human.

The sword's owner died of treason, and his childhood friend killed himself.

This result was not unacceptable to Milton, but only emotional.

At the dinner, several people chatted.

Milton knew that Phil had come to Paris to meet the king.

As for what the two talked about after the meeting, Milton pouted and knew that it must be to discuss the details of the Black Death's treatment and control, as well as the follow-up battle plan for the reconquest of Calais.

Phil was the first to come to Paris calmly, which already showed that she would not hesitate to support the royal family and support the royal family to regain the original territory of France.

Phil could not represent the entire French aristocracy, but he could influence the entire French aristocracy.

As her influence grew, so did her fame, so much so that Pope Clement VI had to dress up as an ostrich and press her head into the ground.

Until now, the Pope has not dared to characterize Fei'er's identity.

Did the miracle come to Phil, did it come to the town of Raya, did it come to the land of France?

The Pope said nothing, was not sure, and did not dare to question it.

As a result, all the nobles tacitly accepted that Feier was recognized by the Holy See.

If God wanted these nobles to support Philip VI and regain the lost territory, what reason would they have to hide?

Say the Black Death was raging? Now Phil has a solution, and even brought it to Paris and handed it over to the Holy See.

Both sides have obtained Fei'er's things, and so far they have not spread the news that there is completely a 'revelation of God'.

The royal family and the Holy See are all holding back the 'revelation of God', as if waiting for something.

Milton was intrigued by what Phil had mastered, and the dinner party was full of temptations.

Phil didn't hide it, and explained the details of the Black Death in a way that these people could understand.

As for the means of control and the treatment of the soup, it will have to wait for the approval of the king and the pope to be announced.

She didn't dare to say much.

If you have to know, it's not impossible, you have to pay some sponsorship money.

This method of making money, Fei'er has already made a lot of money in the hands of the nobles around Raya Town.

Friends are friends, God is God, I'm not earning your money, it's God who asked me to collect your money, because there is a sense of gain when you pay, and you will cherish this hard-won revelation even more.

This kind of nonsense was taught by Xu Siling to Fei'er.

Fei'er was wearing a dress, immature and petite body, and followed by two servants, found Xu Siling in the corridor.

Seeing Xu Siling's contemplative appearance, she couldn't help but look at the servants beside her and motioned for them to leave.

After the servant left, Fei'er came to Xu Siling like a child and stood side by side, looking at the light rain in Paris outside the window.

"I'm almost late for dinner, it's not like you. Especially since I just saw that the corners of your mouth are a little cracked, if it weren't for the fact that you didn't say too much at the dinner party arranged by others, I would have wanted to ask you directly. Why, you can't go out and lie down and get beaten up, right? ”

Fei'er's ridiculous taste, Xu Siling is the most powerful man she has ever seen, and she has never seen him suffer at anyone's hands, so she naturally doesn't believe that he was really beaten.

"What about Ann Li."

"She? Seeing that it was raining outside, I was worried that I would rush to the stable. She's happy that you put on a new saddle coat for her horse, but Ann Lie's horse is too temperamental, so find an opportunity to give her another gentle one. ”

"I heard that now this horse was given by you, so she is reluctant to change it."

Fei'er spread her hands helplessly: "I know, but I can't always spread the rumor, the horse throws the master away and leaves it alone, Ann Li doesn't care about her face, I still have to care about her." Not to mention that there will be a war in the future, her horse is insecure, and I am afraid. ”

Xu Siling nodded clearly, did not continue the topic, and replied.

"In the tavern of St. Gallus's market, I got into a fight with John II, and I got a few punches, but I didn't count as an injury."

Saying that, Xu Siling touched the corner of his mouth, it was indeed a little painful.

"John II?" Fei'er was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "The crown prince? Why are you still fighting with him? ”

"It's okay, friends have a fight, we don't quarrel, we even get along very well, John II, a very good man."

When Fei'er came back to her senses, she remembered that Xu Siling had said that the purpose of his desire to go north first was to contact Philip VI and his son John II first.

It would be better if you could meet Charles, the son of John II.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of my arrival in Paris, I never slept in the bed, and I met with John II.

It's nothing to meet, and the two of them have a fight.

"Your plans always go so well."

"Plan?" Xu Siling was stunned, "What plan do I have?" ”

"Didn't you come to Paris just to see the king and the crown prince, you can contact the crown prince Xu first without relying on me, I have to say, you are really powerful, everything is under your control."

Xu Siling blinked: "You won't doubt it, I know that John is in the tavern of St. Garroe's Market, so go over and contact him in advance." ”

"Isn't it?" Fei'er didn't have the slightest doubt, "It's been so long, you have expected a lot of things in advance, you just know where the crown prince is in Paris, compared to the previous one, it is nothing." ”

Xu Siling wanted to say something, but was blocked by Fei'er's next words.

"Even if one day you tell me that tomorrow the world will perish, I will believe it."

Xu Siling was a little helpless: "The world will not die tomorrow. And I tell you that I did not know that John II was in the tavern of St. Galle's market, and that my contact with him might be a. Accidentally? ”

"You mean you didn't take the initiative to find him?" Phil frowned slightly.

"Yes, or rather, he took the initiative to find me."

Fei'er fell into deep thought when she heard this, she naturally didn't think that Xu Siling would lie to her.

Xu Siling hid from her, but never deceived her.

"The crown prince took the initiative to find you? What motives does he have. ”

Xu Siling shook his head: "I know a little bit about John II's personality, this contact may be really an accident, not like he came to me on purpose." He shouldn't be interested in me, at least compared to you. ”

"It was better to do so." Fei'er said seriously, "I have already arranged for someone to go to the palace to inform me of my arrival, just wait for the king to arrange a time to meet." To be honest, I don't really like this place in Paris, some. Repression. It always felt like something was going to happen, but I couldn't think of anything important. ”

"What are we going to do in the few days when we don't have a meeting scheduled?"

"What can be done, wait. I don't know any friends in Paris, and my father's friends died at the Battle of Cressy and are crippled, and there is only one Count of Boulevis in Paris. ”

"Aren't you idle, then?"

"Talk like you have something to do." Fei'er said slowly, "Tomorrow I will make an appointment with Mrs. Milton to attend a noble tea party, and the people who participate in the tea party are all noble children. ”

"It's good, let's see if we can make a few friends."

"Do you think I'm someone who needs friends?" Phil rolled her eyes, "Madame Milton said, the noblewomen of Paris, all curious about me, if I appear at this aristocratic tea party, there will be unexpected gains."

"Indeed, the children of aristocratic families are also considered a political force. You can get their support, and it's much easier to do things in the future. ”

"I'm still having a headache with this, and I have to pretend to be a devout saint."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"I thought about it, but didn't I worry that you had something to arrange, so I came over and asked you."

Fei'er looked around at no one, stretched out her little hand and stood on tiptoe, trying to touch the corner of Xu Siling's injured mouth.

Seeing this, Xu Siling slowly bent over, feeling the gentle gentleness at the corner of his mouth.

"I'm really convinced that you men, if you don't get along well, you have to fight, and if you get along well, you have to fight." Fei'er's blue eyes showed worry, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt, you didn't see John II's face, half of his face was beaten into a pig's head by me."

When Fei'er heard this, she couldn't help but smile, she could imagine that half of her face was a pig's head.

"You're not afraid of causing trouble. When you go out, you must remember that you don't call the king Philip VI or the crown prince John II, it's not right. ”

"Got it."

"So, tomorrow you will accompany me to that event, which may be super boring, so boring that you go to the noble tea party where you count the ants under the tree?"

Xu Siling was amused by Fei'er and nodded.

"Go."

Fei'er showed a sly smile, which is usually the kind of smile that is not good.

"Then you have to look forward to it, listen to Madame Milton, most of the women of the Parisian aristocratic circle will participate, and there are many aristocratic beauties, and there are enough to satisfy your eyes."

Xu Siling smiled helplessly: "I have a wife." ”

"Yes, you still have a lover." Fei'er gently tugged at Xu Siling's clothes, "What you said, these aristocratic women are a big political force. My knight is so handsome and brave, why don't you help me hook up with a few duke's daughters and marquis' daughters tomorrow? ”

"Don't play with me."

"Hmph. Just because you care doesn't mean they will. I've heard that some of the noble women of the kingdom are particularly open, and many men bow down to their pomegranate skirts. ”

Xu Siling is not ready to continue on this topic, and it will be garbage to talk about it any longer.

He asked, thinking of something.

"Will Blanche attend this aristocratic tea party?"

"Blanche?" Fei'er gave her a strange look, "You care about her very much." ”

"I'm just curious, I'm not interested in her person."

Fei'er had a real and fake expression.

Xu Siling didn't understand why he explained, but after looking at Shang Fei'er, he subconsciously explained.

If Raya Town is a birdcage, Phil is the bird that was once imprisoned in the birdcage.

Again, the metaphor applies to Blanche, no problem.

The town of Raya is the birdcage, and Paris is the golden birdcage for Blanche.

She is not a man, she cannot inherit the throne, she can only be constrained by the life in the palace, and she basically can't leave Paris if she wants to go far away.

She's like a mascot for people to talk to, and no one cares how she feels.

Historically, she was originally engaged to John II, but after Philip VI was widowed, Blanche couldn't bear to see Philip VI so sad, so she took care of and comforted her.

Unexpectedly, Blanche captured the heart of Philip VI.

Then there is the story of snatching the daughter-in-law that I like to see.

This incident did not stabilize the throne of Philip VI, but only further alienated the nobles from the royal family.

People only see the impact behind the matter, but they don't care about the feelings and thoughts of the person involved.

Does Blanche have a choice?

Or that she never had a choice.

As soon as John II was widowed, she was betrothed to John II.

There is no historical record of Blanche and John II's stories and experiences together.

Xu Siling, who has been in contact with John II, knows that John II is a man with extremely strong moral self-restraint.

John II's current wife is not dead, and in this case, John II obviously does not have much contact with Blanche.

Even if others are willing to have something happen to the two of them, with John II's temperament, I'm afraid they can't do it.

So John II and Blanche's engagement is obviously full of politics.

John II didn't seem to have a choice, in fact he had a choice, but historically, it was more like it was forced, and he was powerless to resist.

On the contrary, Blanche is the one who really has no choice.

Engaged to the future king, it looks good.

But is this Blanche's will?

Especially, in the face of Philip VI's forced marriage.

Is it also her will?

To be honest, Xu Siling is not interested in Blanche, but looking back from history, I can't help but feel that this woman is pitiful.

The same bird is a birdcage.

Fei'er belongs to self-improvement, no matter what kind of predicament she faces, she must fight until she loses everything, or wins everything.

If it weren't for Xu Siling's appearance, even if Fei'er won John's on her own, Raya Town would have to be destroyed by the Black Death.

But Blanche is more like a woman who has accepted her fate, she has no desire to struggle, only to go with the flow and let herself be arranged by anyone.

Just as Xu Siling was recalling, Fei'er spoke with interest.

"Xu. Blanche, she was called by the nobles, 'the beautiful and intelligent being of the French kingdom'. ”

"I've never seen her, but everyone says she's a great beauty." (End of chapter)
