[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Chapter 6 Consciousness

Henry VIII was having dinner with Anne Boleyn and her supporters when news of Queen Catherine's successful delivery reached Greenwich Palace.He seemed to have no appetite and indifference, just kept drinking wine, and then used a knife and fork to chop the roast meat on the plate into inedible pieces, imagining that this was England he died without heirs, and was finally killed by his old nemesis. Rancois, as well as the coveted King of Spain, were completely divided.

[Catherine had better give him a son. 】

Henry VIII thought angrily.

[Otherwise, let Catherine go to God with the child in her womb, and then let him marry the next wife smoothly. 】

A young, beautiful wife who could bear him a son.

Anne Boleyn, aware of the king's emotions, seemed a little unhappy, because they were discussing that Henry VIII would bring Anne Boleyn back to Whitehall Palace to prevent Queen Catherine and her supporters from taking over.

Even with Bishop Wolsey sitting there.

Thomas Boleyn has not yet given up making his youngest daughter queen, and is even ready for the Boleyn family to take over Whitehall Palace after Queen Catherine's failure.

【Since Mary can have a son, then Anne can naturally too. 】

Looking at his handsome youngest daughter, Thomas Boleyn was full of confidence.

It was only after the messenger from Whitehall Palace arrived that Thomas Boleyn's self-confidence collapsed in the repeated confirmation of "son" and "prince", just like the Duke of Norfolk in Whitehall Palace.

"Is this true?" Henry VIII, who had fulfilled his long-cherished wish, said in disbelief, "Are you sure he is a prince?"

"The Duke of Suffolk and the Bishop of Wolsey personally witnessed the birth of the prince, and the Duke of Norfolk also testified." The messenger glanced at Anne Boleyn with a livid face, and said loudly: "Wool Bishop Elsey requests you to personally preside over the christening of the prince at Westminster Abbey, and the Duke of Suffolk would like to know whether you intend to hold a series of celebration ceremonies for the prince's birth."

"This is natural." Regardless of whether the son can support him or not, Henry VIII will give his legitimate son the treatment he deserves, in case the other party's status is questioned: "I named him William Tudor, and he will be named by Sappho. The Duke and Duchess are godparents to the Prince, and... the Archbishop of Canterbury."

Considering the existence of Henry Fitzroy, Henry VIII cannot let Wolsey be the godfather of the little prince, but this does not mean that he wants to alienate his cardinal.

On the contrary, their previous contradictions have also been alleviated.

[Perhaps Wolsey is right. 】

Henry VIII, who was in a good mood, glanced at the charming Anne Boleyn, and felt that the other party still fascinated him, but it was not enough for him to completely give up Queen Catherine and his long-awaited son.

"Is Catherine okay?" It was rare for Henry VIII to address his wife so intimately in front of outsiders, as if their previous disputes were all hallucinations.

"The queen is doing well, but the birth has exhausted her energy, so the doctors advised her to rest in a warm room." Wolsey didn't want Queen Catherine to die of dystocia, so he asked the court doctors to try their best to keep Queen Catherine life, lest the little prince and the future of England fall into the hands of Anne Boleyn.

"This is good news no less than the birth of a prince." Henry VIII said with some disappointment: "I hope Catherine can recover as soon as possible, and then attend the prince's birth celebration with me."

The sent messenger left in a hurry with the king's message, leaving Anne Boleyn clenched on her seat with a knife and fork, unable to eat.

"I plan to send the Queen to Richmond Palace to recuperate after she gets better." Henry VIII noticed Anne Boleyn's dissatisfaction, so he comforted her a little: "I will stay in the Whitehall Palace. Leave a room for Lady Anne next to the queen, so that she can take care of the king when the queen is unable to perform her duties as a wife."

Henry VIII thought he was a caring lover, but this did not satisfy Anne Boleyn, but made her dazzled with shame.

In the long run, what is the difference between her and those mistresses who were abandoned by Henry VIII?

Anne Boleyn thought ironically.

A legal mistress used in place of a wife.

A bitch to satisfy the king's desires.

Thomas Boleyn, who attacked, did not dare to look at Anne Boleyn's expression, but a certain nobleman beside him whispered something very ironic.

"If Queen Catherine lives in Richmond Palace, where should the Duke of Richmond (Henry Fitzroy) live?"

Thomas Boleyn couldn't help swallowing, thinking of Henry Fitzroy's fame before Queen Catherine became pregnant, and his annual salary of nearly [-] pounds, he felt that the king seemed to intend to cut Henry Fitzroy's treatment , from reducing his political influence, so as not to have a bad influence on Queen Catherine's son.

This is really bad news.

Thomas Boleyn was rarely thought in emotional synchrony with the Duke of Norfolk.

…………… I am the dividing line………………

"Look at him, what a lovely boy." The Duchess of Suffolk carried the little prince to the frail Queen Catherine so that she could see her child clearly.

With the help of the maids, Queen Catherine forced herself to sit up, then carefully removed the little prince's swaddling cloth, looked at the sleeping baby, and finally showed a relieved smile: "He looks very healthy, and he looks very much like Henry. .”

Queen Catherine still remembers the scene when she gave birth to Prince Henry here in January 1510.

The newborn prince did not get the same treatment as Prince Henry, his father did not wait anxiously outside the delivery room and no shots were fired in the Tower of London for the baby's birth.

It was as if the little prince had never been born.

"The king is already on his way back to Whitehall Palace, and Bishop Wolsey is also preparing for the little prince's baptism." The Duchess of Suffolk tried her best to weaken Henry VIII's indifference to the little prince, and tried her best to pretend Very happy: "That must be the biggest celebration of this year."

"It's all thanks to Your Majesty's kindness." Queen Catherine has never said a word of bad things about Henry VIII, and even in front of her supporters, she is King Henry VIII.

In later generations, Queen Catherine is a model of a "good wife" who has been praised to the sky, but the Duchess of Suffolk does not think that Henry VIII is worthy of Queen Catherine to do such a step.

Perhaps Queen Catherine should consider herself more than her loyalty to the king.

And when the Duchess of Suffolk was struggling, Queen Catherine, who had some strength, took the little prince from her arms, kissed the baby's delicate face, and vowed never to let those who laughed at her completely succeed.

She is also Queen of England.

She deservedly stood by Henry VIII's side.

The author has something to say:

Tell everyone about the timeline, in case there are too many people asking, I can't answer.

First, Queen Catherine will die, because the 41-year-old high-delivery woman, coupled with Heng Zha's cold treatment and worries about her children, will have ghosts if she can get well, and Queen Catherine also died of stomach problems and heart disease in history problems, and because of the shortage of children, she will die earlier than in history.

Second, Anne will be queen, and religion will be reformed, because what Henry VIII needs is absolute monarchy, not being imprisoned by the church.His enthusiasm for religion is true, but in the same way, Isabella I was also a fanatic of Catholicism, but when she was in power, she would never let the church interfere in her internal affairs, which is out of the question.The course of history will not be changed by anyone.

Thirdly, Annie will die. The passion between her and Hengba will not last long, and her personality problems prevent her from being like Queen Catherine.Especially Queen Catherine's son has been blocking her. You can imagine that if she doesn't do it, then Queen Catherine's son will kill her one day.

For the current Henry, he wants a son, but he also wants to get rid of Catherine, an old and fading wife who stands between him and Anne.
