[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Chapter 21 Entering the Palace

Given the special status of the Prince of Wales and Princess Mary, Henry VIII made it mandatory for them to attend Anne Boleyn's coronation, lest anyone raise questions about the identity of the unborn Duke of York.

Regarding this, Princess Mary said indignantly: "Does father still want us to hold the dress for that witch? He really went too far."

"Dear sister, you should endure the current situation." William Tudor wrote lightly: "Father did not hold a public marriage ceremony with Anne Boleyn just to appease us. For a king, this is already The biggest concession he can make, do you still want him to completely obey your will like an unidentified vassal?"

"God witnesses, I have never had such disrespectful thoughts." Princess Mary said bitterly: "It's just William, I still can't forgive him for treating our mother so cruelly, and I can't bear Anne Boleyn walking in her mother's way." , and sit on the mother's throne."

"Am I willing to?" William Tudor sighed: "Mary, I can understand that your relationship with your mother is far stronger than mine, and I have no right to question your anger. It's just that the imperial power is on top, and the Whitehall Palace A vase in it can grow a tongue. Not to mention that Anne Boleyn and the Duke of Norfolk have always wanted our lives."

"When you meet your father in private, you can express your dissatisfaction with Anne Boleyn, or you can treat her coldly. But in public, you have to remember that she is his queen, and he is one with his husband and wife."

"If you embarrass her in public, you will be stepping on the face of the king, and even England." William Tudor's tone suddenly became severe, as if he was Princess Mary's older brother instead of her younger brother: "Before the status of children , we represent England, but also represent the upbringing of mothers."

"Mary, you don't want to disappoint your mother, and then have her children accused of being savages without manners!"

Princess Mary, unable to refute William Tudor, pursed her lips and could only comfort herself with the Bible.

"If you believe that God will punish the wicked, then leave Anne Boleyn alone." William Tudor looked at the misty sky, and said meaningfully: "Many precious things will be in the place where you get them." The value drops sharply in a moment."

"There are not many women who are loved and abandoned by their fathers."

"Anne Boleyn will not be the last."

At least as far as the current situation is concerned, Henry VIII cannot have sex with Anne Boleyn, and the queen has no right to ask the king to abstain from sex for her, so Henry VIII can only find those coquettish beauties wandering in the palace.

There were no less than three candidates known to Anne Boleyn alone, not to mention the wives of close ministers who came and went.

Henry VIII wanted to take a Spanish maid of Queen Catherine as a mistress, but the chaste girl was willing to serve the master in the monastery for life, so Henry VIII had to give up this delicate rose in a nun's robe and go to Find women who are within your reach.

For example, Anne Boleyn's cousin, Mary Howard.

Another example is Margaret Miston, another niece of the Duke of Norfolk.

Compared with the young and beautiful lamb in his early twenties, the pregnant Anne Boleyn made Henry VIII feel overwhelmed by both appearance and temper, and even thought of moving to Hampton Court Palace.

So when William Tudor and Princess Mary arrived at Whitehall Palace, Anne Boleyn, who followed Henry VIII, looked a lot older.Even though she used thick foundation and a proud posture to cover up her haggardness, Henry VIII did not slow down for Anne Boleyn at all, and the uneven distance between the two showed the newlyweds Cracks, and different dreams in the same bed.

"Welcome, my dear son, and Mary." As usual, Henry VIII embraced William Tudor before kissing Princess Mary.

At this time, William Tudor was already a six-year-old precocious bean.Because of Henry VIII, he looked taller and stronger than his peers, which made Henry VIII very happy, so he said to the Duke of Suffolk: "Did you arrange knight lessons for him? There are related tennis, hunting."

"Of course." Although the Duke of Suffolk doesn't live in Wales, he arranges William Tudor's various itineraries remotely: "His Royal Highness, like His Majesty, likes tennis lessons and poetry very much, and is very talented in astronomy and art. point."

"Because he is my proudest son." Henry VIII put his hands on William Tudor's shoulders, showing nostalgic expression: "But in character and appearance, he is more like Catherine."

Anne Boleyn on the side was so pale that she couldn't fall down suddenly because of Mary Boleyn's support.

Princess Mary didn't expect Henry VIII to say that, and she was a little uneasy for a while, but William Tudor said: "Mother said that daughters are more like fathers, and sons are more like mothers."

"That's the truth." Henry VIII laughed with pride on his face: "Mary is indeed the child who resembles me the most. Catherine once said that Mary's cleverness and domineering are all following me. Let a dozen maids be fooled around by her."

Princess Mary was a happy only child when she was a child. Even after Henry Fitzroy was born, Henry VIII still loved Princess Mary.

Until Anne Boleyn showed up.

"The Prince of Wales will definitely inherit Queen Catherine's wisdom, decency, tolerance and kindness." The Duke of Suffolk glanced at Anne Boleyn, and pointed out: "Children always inherit the morals of their mothers, and Queen Catherine is your most loyal Good wife."

"That's right! Catherine is the perfect one whether she is queen or wife." Henry VIII echoed, without knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, and said casually: "William is much smarter than Henry Fitzroy. The child is still not proficient in Latin, so he needs to find a better teacher to teach him."

"I remember that William's teacher, John Palgrave, was Henry Fitzroy's Latin teacher, so let him go back and forth from wherever he came from!" Henry VIII looked at William Tudor very lovingly, his tone He said gently: "I'll ask the Greek professor in Cambridge to teach you. As for Latin, I'll let Mary teach you before I find a perfect Latin teacher."

After all, Henry VIII looked at Princess Mary, and the latter quickly stated: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to teach William."

Under their conversation, Anne Boleyn, who couldn't intervene, was like a familiar outsider, standing outside the edge all the time, like a gorgeously dressed maid shrouded in the shadow of the royal veil.

At the family dinner that night, Anne Boleyn was not present.

Henry VIII indifferently asked for a few more jugs of wine, and then let Mrs. Bryan (William's maid of honor, who had taken care of Henry VIII's siblings) sit in Anne Boleyn's seat and have dinner with their family .
