[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Chapter 22 Family Dinner

Putting aside all kinds of personality problems, Henry VIII at the dinner table is a good conversation partner, especially for those he favors, Henry VIII can be called humorous and patient.

Especially after being fed up with Anne Boleyn's unreasonable troubles, Henry VIII enjoyed the warmth and tranquility when getting along with his children, and even missed the time when Queen Catherine was still there.

If it was Catherine of Aragon, she would never yell at her king's husband out of style, and she would never be like a beggar who kept talking about power and money.

Catherine is gentle, kind, and devout.

Except for the Duke of Norfolk and the Boleyns, who have a wicked heart, no one at Hampton Court Palace can find fault with Queen Catherine-including Henry VIII.

"William, if you are not used to anything in Hampton Court Palace, you can tell my followers." Henry VIII noticed that William Tudor only ate some fruits and vegetables, thinking that the food was not to his liking, So he looked at Mrs. Bryan.

The latter immediately put down the food in his hands, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Wales is still young, and the court doctor advised him not to eat too greasy things at night, so as not to accumulate food before going to bed."

"Yeah!" The relieved Henry VIII was very satisfied with Mrs. Bryan's carefulness, and decided to check on William Tudor's diet at noon tomorrow: "I heard that your siblings received the Spanish ambassador in Wales. Why, Sharpey The ambassador and the Emperor of Spain also had issues with my second marriage."

"About this point, my father actually worried too much." Princess Mary was pinched by William Tudor's arm before she spoke, so she made another detour when she got to her mouth: "Cousin Charlie can understand your rule and kingdom continuation. It was a last resort, but I felt a little unfair that Queen Anne took over my mother's seat."

Princess Mary spent almost her whole life in self-cultivation before she uttered the word "queen", and she lost her appetite: "After all, the issue of Queen Anne's beliefs has always been the focus of attention from many parties, especially after the Pope of Rome publicly announced that she is Heretic premise, Cousin Charlie is worried about us."

"Worried about you?" Henry VIII seemed to have thought of something ridiculous, sipped his wine and said, "He is worried that his interests in England will not be safeguarded!"

Princess Mary was choked by Henry VIII for a while, until William Tudor interjected: "King Francois has not forgotten the humiliation of being imprisoned by Cousin Charles, and Cousin Charles has not forgotten that you were in Paris. Via's betrayal."

Lady Bryan was short of breath at William Tudor's blatant tearing of the king's scars.

Henry VIII didn't have any mood swings, he just looked at William Tudor carefully, put the wine glass aside and said, "Continue."

"Queen Anne was once the maid of honor to Queen Claude (Francois's first wife), so Cousin Charlie is very worried that you will make peace with King Francois under Queen Anne's matchmaking." William Tudor hesitated: "As soon as my mother died, the alliance between Spain and England was weakened a lot."

"So Charlie wants you to marry the Spanish princess?" Henry VIII said clearly, "That's what he would do. It's just William, your marriage is not only a private matter of our family, but also England's place on the world map. important bait, so I don't want you to cast this bait anytime soon, understand?"

Henry VIII's tone was light, but it brought William Tudor a pressure he had never had.

Princess Mary secretly breathed a sigh of relief knowing she had escaped, but she didn't eat much until the dinner was over.

"I plan to give you St. James's Palace in London." Henry VIII ate some fish and wild fowl with a good appetite, and then asked the servants to fill up the wine glass again and again: "Hampton Palace and Whitehall There are too many idlers in the palace, and it is easy to bring unclean atmosphere to you."

As for who brought this trend, at least anyone with eyes knows that Anne Boleyn loves to get along with artists, and most artists are representatives of bohemianism.

After dinner, William Tudor was arranged in the best guest room. Because Henry VIII's nightlife was too rich, his room was far away from the king's master bedroom, and the molesting sounds from the cracks in the wall could hardly be heard. .

"Your Highness, Lord Cromwell please see me." Before the door was locked, Mrs. Brian brought in an unexpected guest.

"It's so late, Lord Cromwell isn't going back to rest?" You must know that not everyone is eligible to live in the palace, even the king's loyal ministers, it is difficult to reserve a room in Hampton Court Palace.

"Your Majesty wants you to sign some notarizations." Thomas Cromwell took off his hat to William Tudor, and put some parchments in front of William Tudor: "This is Richmond. His Majesty the King wishes to give you the domain of his grandmother, Lady Margaret Beaufort."

"This is really interesting." William Tudor carefully read the content of the notarization, signed his name at the end, and then stamped the private seal of the Prince of Wales: "If I remember correctly, Henry Fitzroy Was the Duke of Richmond."

"In fact, His Majesty the King has not seen Sir Fitzroy for a long time after you were born." Thomas Cromwell said blankly: "Queen Catherine won Henry Fitzroy when you were a few months old. After Fitzroy's departure, His Majesty the King has not restored most of Henry Fitzroy's titles, because they are reserved for you."

"Leave it to me?" William Tudor couldn't help laughing, "I just hope Mrs. Bronte won't break my throat."

"You're worrying too much." Thomas Cromwell couldn't see William Tudor's attitude, so he could only tentatively said, "If nothing else happens, Henry Fitzroy's first canonization as an adult will be yours. host."

"I."

"Yes. Because you are his future monarch." Thomas Cromwell didn't mind selling the Prince of Wales a favor: "His Majesty the King wants to use this to declare your status."

"Really?" William Tudor didn't have much joy on his face, but asked a tricky question: "Since Henry Fitzroy is my stepping stone, what about the future Duke of York?"

William Tudor looked Thomas Cromwell in the eye, making him clutch his portfolio.

"The king is looking forward to Queen Anne's son." William Tudor said casually: "This is also what Mrs. Bronte is worried about."

After all, a Prince of Wales has already made Henry Fitzroy's worth plummet, if there is another Duke of York.

Thomas Cromwell lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "The people still remember Queen Catherine, so your position is irreplaceable."

"Then I will accept your good words!" William Tudor sent off the guests: "Father wants your nephew to be my entourage, and I hope we will be friends who can talk about everything."

"Yes, I will carefully train him before he enters the palace, and I will never let you bother." Thomas Cromwell's tone was a lot more friendly before he left, and then he received a gift from the Prince of Wales the next day.

A book of the law.

And a well-made quill.
