A princess who is under the shadow of death all day long and imprisoned in the Tower of London, how can she complete the bumpy journey from princess to queen?
She needs patience. How cold the cell in the Tower of London was, the old minister who was accompanying her put on a cloak for her. She wanted to refuse, but the old minister said, "Please accept it, you will need it."
She needs luck. In the face of the uncertain Queen's sister, she still insisted on not giving up her faith - "I swear, I will - be loyal to my heart". Fortunately, she was not given death.
She needs help. Whether it was the passing of the thrilling bill or the threat of the Queen of France, without her capable and loyal subordinates, her throne would not be secure.
She also needs to know how to give up. The lover's betrayal made her soberly realize that as a queen, she had to give up something. When it was announced that "I married England", the tragic moment was really memorable.
Of course, she also needs to know how to forgive. When the Spanish Armada attacked, she ordered the Bastille to be opened and the prisoners to be pardoned - "even though they had sinned, they were also English". Although this may also be a stopgap measure, without the courage to forgive, the history of the year may have been rewritten. I liked the scene where she was on the cliff by the shore, facing the fire in the distance, and the wind ruffled her hair.
Suddenly I remembered a small article from Yang evening one day, saying that what women are most afraid of is comparison, especially losing to a woman who thinks she is inferior to herself. Obviously, she did. However, jealousy is a knife, and in the end, it is not inserted in others, or it is inserted in one's own heart. Letting go of others is the beginning of letting go of yourself.
