[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

On the morning when Princess Juana was about to leave Belgium, King Enrique II deliberately brought a middle-aged man with a strange description and pale skin to her, and said beyond doubt: "This is my personal doctor, and he will come back with you." England."

"There are specialized doctors in St. James's Palace on call at all times." Princess Juana carefully looked at Enrique II's personal doctor. The latter did not know whether it was born or deliberately, and his eyelids were always half drooping, as if from the door The outlaws who watched people in the cracks made Princess Juana feel very uncomfortable.

But not long after she had this idea, she accused God of judging others by their appearance.

"This is Mr. Girolamo Cardano. He obtained a doctorate in medicine from the University of Pavia in his early years, and later served as a lecturer at his alma mater and the University of Bologna. If you go to Italy and ask who is the famous contemporary doctor, Girolamo Mr. Cardano must be among the names mentioned." Enrique II explained: "You are my hope, a woman has a child is to dance with death, let Mr. Girolamo Cardano follow you, I You can also rest assured."

"But the problem is that Mr. Cardano has left with me, what will you and your mother do?" Princess Juana said stubbornly: "Let him stay!"

"What are you doing here? Do you want me and your mother to worry about you?" Enrique II waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to talk about this topic again: "You and the Prince of Wales leave offspring early, so that I don't have to worry about it after I die." Make your Spanish or French relatives your heirs."

"Then please protect me for a few more years." Princess Juana hugged Enrique II very reluctantly, and then reluctantly boarded the ship to England under the gaze of the other party.

Before William Tudor went to the port to meet Princess Juana, Henry VIII asked him to be called to his room.

At this time, the old king of England was afraid of the cold and heat, and he was a little unbelievably squeamish.He still lifted his injured leg high on the low stool, and added a lot of medicinal materials for labor pains and soothing nerves to the wine he drank, and even the portion was much larger.

"You are here." Henry VIII raised his cloudy eyes, acting like a fool, but William Tudor knew he was awake: "Scotland sent this kind of boring thing again, it seems that Ann Earl Gus and Earl Allen did not listen to my words, or they are too ambitious."

Henry VIII pinched the corner of the envelope and asked Richard Cromwell to pass it to William Tudor. After scanning it, the latter asked: "Then do you want to send troops to teach them a lesson, or revoke the Earl of Angus and The regency of the Earl of Arlen, and let someone who you think is more suitable take over?"

"It's all right, it doesn't matter how you arrange this kind of thing." Henry VIII said annoyedly: "I have the Queen of Scots in my hand, and they don't dare to fart. Marie de Guise has been accepted by her French family Give up, if Queen Mary is lost again, then she will lose her final use value, and her life will definitely not be better than being imprisoned in Scotland."

"Yes." William Tudor still didn't understand what Henry VIII wanted to tell him, until the old king impatiently brought up the mess of the year before: "I know that Thomas Cromwell was in the "Greenwich Agreement" I didn’t say that you inspired me here, but it definitely has something to do with you.”

Richard Cromwell on the side looked at William Tudor with his hairs standing on end, for fear that the other party would be angered by Henry VIII.

"I don't think Thomas Cromwell's behavior was wrong, and even if I were to negotiate, I couldn't do better than Thomas Cromwell." Henry VIII knew the art of putting pressure on people, So after provoking William Tudor's sense of crisis, he softened his tone: "I am angry that you are indifferent to Thomas Cromwell's efforts, and don't even think about doing something about it. "

At this point, if William Tudor doesn't understand what Henry VIII means, then he can abdicate and give way: "Juana will come back today, and I will consummate her marriage soon."

"Not soon, but immediately." Henry VIII raised his tone again, coughed up a mouthful of dirty blood, and then showed it to William Tudor: "I must make sure that the throne is safe before returning to the embrace of God." will die in your hands."

"But father, this is not something that can be done all at once." William Tudor felt a little stressed when he thought about the birth experience of the previous queens: "Only God knows when we will have an heir."

"But you can please God for this." Henry VIII insisted: "I will give you time to please God, otherwise I will let the Duke of York be engaged to Mary of Scotland."

After all, Henry VIII stared back at William Tudor's continued explanation, and then sneered: "Of course I know what kind of impact this will have, but compared to giving up easily obtained Scotland, or It is going to send troops to carry out bloody suppression again, I would rather let your brother be a time buffer."

"Yes." William Tudor knew that it was useless to entangle with Henry VIII, so he had to accept his father's pressure to give birth, and then consummated the house with Princess Juana on the first night of her return.

Of course, according to the usual practice, the person who supervises the intercourse and various blessings before closing the door are indispensable.

At the request of Henry VIII, the Archbishop of Canterbury personally presided over the blessing ceremony of consummating the house, and then Johanna poured two glasses of high-strength wine for the Prince of Wales and his wife to prevent them from being so nervous that the intercourse failed.

Henry VIII couldn't help thinking of his wedding night with Catherine of Aragon, and his brows that were originally frowning were relaxed a bit: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone who gets in the way stay in the room, but the two of you are still in the room tonight." Just try as hard as you can, understand?"

"Yes." William Tudor forcibly drank a glass of wine, and his whole body felt a rush of heat to his forehead, and the tip of his tongue trembled a little because of the heat.

Juana's reaction was not much better. After all, when it comes to childbirth, which is the most concerned issue of the royal family, the woman is always more stressed than the man, so the moment she sat on the bed, she twitched her fingers uneasily, and her shoulders were almost tense. straight line.

In this regard, Cardano, who was sent by Enrique II, counted Princess Juana's menstrual period, determined that today is exactly the day when she is most likely to conceive, and then taught William Dou in a cold and scientific tone. Duo how to make it easier for the wife to conceive, put the pillow there when you have intercourse.

The other people present looked around shyly while listening to Cardano's popular science.

Especially those aristocratic men and women who were newly married or had difficulty in conceiving, decided to try Cardano's pregnancy method after returning home.

Henry VIII was very interested in Cardano, so he asked left and right who he was.

"It is a scholar invited by Enrique II from Italy. It is said that he once served as a teacher at the University of Pavia and the University of Bologna." William Cecil, who was closest to Henry VIII, whispered in his ear: " Before accepting the invitation of Enrique II, he entrusted his students to publish the book "Da Yan Shu" in Italy, and recommended his students to be lecturers of mathematics in Milan?"

"Mathematics?" Henry VIII asked in surprise, "Isn't he a doctor?"

"Mr. Cardano is proficient in mathematics, physics, medicine, astrology, philosophy, and multiple languages. He also taught mathematics when he was a medical teacher at the university." William Cecil's tone was full of admiration: " It can be said that Mr. Cardano is as famous a mathematician as Italy's Tattaglia."

"It's all a false name." Henry VIII has been in power for so many years, and he has seen fake scholars who exaggerate and use the opportunity to promote, so he disdains William Cecil's praise for Cardano, but he does not Denying Cardano's academic attainments: "Let him come over and talk to me later, and help me find a copy of "Da Yanshu" he published in Italy.

"Yes," William Cecil whispered in the King's ear as he and Henry VIII exited the Prince of Wales' chambers.

Looking at the heavily closed door, William Tudor didn't feel much relaxed, so he gently held Juana's folded hands on her thighs, and said with some difficulty: "Let's go to bed!"

"Yeah!" Even though Juana was not an ordinary girl, she was no different from an ordinary girl on this important occasion, even under pressure.

William Tudor tried to relieve Juana's pressure, so he blew out some candles in the room, so that the dim light would give Juana a sense of security.

Then the two completed the consummation under the guidance of Cardano, during which there were very few sounds, so that Henry VIII at the door doubted whether they had sex after all.

But after the acceptance and physical examination the next day, Henry VIII dispelled this doubt, and then forced the young couple to communicate in a normal and harmonious way every day, hoping to have good news by the end of this year.

"God bless, they can give birth to an heir to the throne before I die." In his daily prayers, Henry VIII always chanted to the Virgin Mary, as if it was not the Prince of Wales and his wife who were under pressure to bear children, but the early Henry VIII himself was just over that age.

Fortunately, hard work always has arms.

Because of Cardano's careful judgment and the fact that William Tudor and Juana had no fertility problems, the two finally received good news in the sixth month after consummating their marriage.

Although there was no particularly accurate pregnancy test method in England at this time, experienced midwives all had a unique method. In addition, Princess Juana had already experienced symptoms of snooze, appetite change, and vomiting, so Henry VIII It is a great pleasure to have people prepare for the birth celebration of the crown prince's grandson, and then send Juana to Richmond Palace, which has a more beautiful environment and fewer people, to wait for the birth, so that Miss Elizabeth and Anne of Cleves to take care of her.

It's just that amidst the joy at Hampton Court Palace, the Duke of York, who was taken back to London, inevitably became a forgotten member of the royal family, and then looked at his gloomy uncle and aunt, wondering what his future fate would be.
