Chapter 259 The King's Gift
ps: At the end of the month, ask for votes, ask for recommendations
Faris didn’t know about the matter between the secretaries. Even if he knew, even if he knew, he would acquiesce.
Anyone who can become his secretary must either have outstanding skills or a strong background. Anyway, he is not an ordinary person, but he can also be a good son-in-law.
At this time, Princess Mary, who was married to Spain, also completed her wedding on December 8, 1549. Since then, she has been the Spanish princess.
Unlike historically.
In the original history, Mary was the queen, and Prince Philip was just a prince, and their status did not match. In order to make Philip's title equal to that of Mary, Charles V bestowed the thrones of Naples and Jerusalem to Philip.
Princess Mary thus became Queen of Naples and Queen of Jerusalem in name.
Of course, since Edward designated Port Francisco as the fief of Princess Mary, she also became Count Francisco.
For this reason, Prince Philip was also canonized as the Earl of Namadrid, which just matched the status of Princess Mary.
After a sensational and extravagant wedding in a grand church, Princess Mary and Prince Philip are newlyweds. This can be said to be like glue!
Prince Philip is ambitious, and he is a bit hard to be paranoid about rights. He looks ordinary, but he is much more majestic than ordinary nobles. Although he is not good at writing, he has a unique understanding of war and the army.
Once a man has ambition, he will add a bit of color, exuding masculine brilliance, which is very attractive to women.
Moreover, like Princess Mary, he is also a devout Catholic, and the two directly have a lot more common topics.
Therefore, when Princess Mary saw the young and masculine Prince Philip, all eyes were injected on him, and she was extremely satisfied.
As for Prince Philip, the beautifully dressed Princess Mary came down, and his eyes also focused on his wife.
Although Princess Mary is a bit older, her well-maintained smooth face, surging breasts, and plump body, coupled with the charm of a mature woman, are comparable to those of his lovers.
Prince Philip also nodded in satisfaction.
This princess who is about to become his wife, compared with princesses from other countries, has fair skin and a natural fragrance on her body instead of wearing layers of perfume. Compared with her previous fantasy, she is so much better. many.
He was prepared to think that this old princess of England must be ugly and old, otherwise why would she not be able to marry?
Who knew it was such a surprise, far exceeding my expectations.
So, since they got married for a month, like all newlyweds, they are like glue, and they look at each other when they walk, showing a love for each other.
When King Charles V of Spain saw how beautiful his cousin was, he felt a bit of remorse in his heart, politics! Politics, even if they knew about it at the time, the chances of the two combining are very small.
Moreover, the Spanish court is quite satisfied with this Her Royal Highness Princess from England.
Not only because of her generous dowry, but also because she is a generous princess.
She did not hesitate to reward the servants who fulfilled her orders. In just one month, she rewarded thousands of gold coins, thus gaining the favor of most people in the court.
So, when John Carrile saw this Her Royal Highness, no, it was Her Royal Highness, Her Royal Highness was radiant, and her whole person exuded a happy mood, and she became more and more beautiful and attractive.
"His Royal Highness, may the Lord bless you!"
John Carrile turned his eyes, and bowed his head to Her Royal Highness, who was wearing a fluffy dress and sitting on a chair.
"Hmm!" Princess Mary hummed lightly, and cast her eyes on the short, fat and hairy businessman in front of her. She slightly opened her red lips and asked in a lazy voice:
"How is the task Edward gave you?"
"Hey! Your Highness, thanks to your help, we were able to send the fleet to Naples, Venice, and the Ottoman Empire in just three months. I have already completed the task of His Majesty the King! These are mainly yours. That's all credit!"
Princess Mary's wedding team was crowded with a large number of merchant ships, among which the royal family's caravan accounted for the majority, and the leader was this John Carrile.
His task is not only to open the Spanish market, but also to sail into the Mediterranean Sea, to make a foreground for English products to enter the Mediterranean region in the future, to communicate with the Ottoman Empire, which has always been known for its barbaric face, and to sell English products by the way.
It can be said that his mission is very important, and it is part of His Majesty the King of England's majestic layout, which cannot be missed.
As he spoke, John Carrile showed a flattering smile, raised his head slightly, looked up at the bright Princess Mary, and said flatteringly.
"I haven't done anything, all of this depends on your own efforts!"
Princess Mary shook her head with a smile, and said indifferently that she no longer needed these credits. She is now the princess of Prince Philip of Spain.
Moreover, she doesn't need to intervene in the affairs of England in the future, unless her younger brother requests, otherwise, this is a taboo.
"Okay, let's go down! I think Edward can't wait to hear from you!"
Princess Mary withdrew her divergent thinking, sorted out her thoughts, and said softly.
"Yes, Your Highness!" John Carrile nodded in response, but his footsteps did not move a bit.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"Your Highness, His Majesty the King asked me to give you some gifts, please accept them!"
As he spoke, John Carrile clapped his hands, and two people came in carrying a wooden box outside the door, which looked heavy.
Princess Mary's eyes wandered over this ordinary box, she was puzzled, but she had a calm expression on her face.
"I know, you go down first! Finally, take two letters back for me, be careful, don't destroy them!"
Princess Mary gestured with her eyes, and the pretty maid at the side quickly took out two letters with glittering gold powder from the room, and handed them to John Carrile.
Originally, Princess Mary planned to send someone to send it there in person, but John Carrile is so kind, she doesn't mind giving him some benefits.
"Your Highness, I will leave then, please take care!"
John Carrile showed a gleam of joy on his face, then slowly backed away, turned and left.
Princess Mary glanced at it, and the personal maid at the side naturally ordered the maid to close the door, and then slowly opened the wooden box.
Immediately, Princess Mary's eyes flashed, and the glittering gold coins and jewels slowly piled up. It is conservatively estimated that the value is more than 10,000 pounds.
Seeing this rare scene, even Princess Mary lost her mind at this moment, and soon, the princess quality cultivated over the years pulled her back.
"Weina, put these away, you guys don't talk nonsense, understand?"
Princess Mary fixed her eyes, and said sharply to the maids in the room.
"Yes! Your Highness!" Several maids nodded and responded softly.
Wealth touches people's hearts. In this Spanish court, she is a stranger, and there is no room for her to be careless.
After that, she cast her gaze out of the window, whispering softly: Edward—
