Chapter 957 everything will be fine
Kunning Palace.
After the emperor and the empress had a meal, they sat in the inner hall to take care of the fourth prince Zhu Hejian who had just walked.
Suddenly, Xu Chenyun blinked and smiled at Zhu Cilang and said, "I can't tell you that you not only brought a woman back from Shandong, but also found a princess from the West. It seems that your taste is not ordinary and special!"
When Zhu Cixuan heard this, he showed an expression of "Is there any more?"
He said seriously: "If it weren't for the Queen, you remind me, I almost forgot about this. I heard that the uncle secretly accepted a concubine for me. As the uncle, what kind of morality is this? I will punish him well another day!"
"His Majesty……"
Queen Xu looked through her beautiful eyes. After so many years, the couple had already known each other, and she still knew her husband's thoughts.
"I heard that Portuguese princess has many rules. No matter who enters the door, you must knock on the door first."
Zhu Cixuan casually flipped through the book beside her seat and said, "As a person, it's so good to follow the rules, you can set rules for her."
Empress Xu said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I am jealous and I don't let you take this Western woman as my concubine, but that I am worried that I won't let you in the Cining Palace..."
Zhu Cilang suddenly realized that he had not thought so much before. The Emperor of the Supreme Emperor was a feudal person. Since ancient times, there have been potential rules that the Han emperor did not accept barbarians.
From the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor who had accepted the surrounding vassal barbarian women was Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the mother of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty (Zhengde's grandmother) was also the daughter of the local official of the barbarian tribe. During the Chenghua period, he conquered the barbarians and captured them in the Yeting Court and taught them his daughter.
The women who paid tribute to the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty were fine. After all, they were all from East Asians and had a small gap, but this Western blonde woman was unacceptable.
Zhu Cixuan put down the book in his hand and said, "Emperor Chengzu accepted a Korean woman as his concubine. This is a precedent. Now, Portugal is just like the previous North Korea. It is barely considered a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty. It is no problem that the Supreme Emperor can figure this out."
Queen Xu smiled and said, "Since you think so, the princess has been waiting for you in the palace for several days, and it's not a big deal to keep dragging you like this. I'll see you, so I'd better take the time to go to Yongshou Palace to see it!"
"Is Yongshou Palace..."
Zhu Cilang silently wrote down this place...
Yongshou Palace, one of the six palaces in the inner court.
Zhu Cilang came to the front of the palace gate, sent away the eunuchs and palace maids on duty, and knocked on the door.
After a while, a stiff Chinese came from inside: "Come in."
He pushed open the hall door and walked in. He saw the Portuguese princess lying on the head of the bed, covering her head with a quilt and saying in a suffocating voice: "Just put the black tea."
Zhu Cilang couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed by this little foreign horse as a palace maid, and coughed dryly, saying, "Catherine..."
Suddenly, when he heard a magnetic man's voice, Catherine's body moved, and she let out a scream, revealing her white face from the quilt.
Zhu Cixuan first saw this Portuguese princess. She was not very old, but she looked good. She belonged to the type that covered her ugliness with one white, mainly because Zhu liked oriental beauties and couldn't stand the faces of Western Europe.
But this figure is undulating and very interesting...
Catherine got up from the bed and stuttered, "Are you?"
Shen Mao straightened his back and introduced: "This is His Majesty the Emperor, I'm not here to greet him!"
"Are you the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
Catherine got up from the bed and looked around Zhu Cixuan.
The Portuguese have an open-minded and cheerful personality, like to speak out in a straightforward manner, and do not want to bend each other. This princess is a typical figure.
“Bold!”
"presumptuous!"
Chen Mao and two other eunuchs in front of the imperial court were furious on the spot and shouted.
"You guys retreat."
Zhu Cilang waved his hand and asked the eunuchs to leave.
What kind of thing about picking up girls, eunuchs can interfere with it? I always feel that something is strange!
Perhaps because he was scared, Catherine stuttered: "I'm sorry, I thought it was a palace maid, but I didn't expect it was you. It was so rude. Please... please sit down."
As she said that, she quickly sorted out her scattered blonde hair with her hands again.
Zhu Cilang was shocked. This was the first time he had encountered this long-lost method in his life.
In his previous life, he met a Portuguese girl with sincere and delicate feelings, warm and sincere treatment, and was so passionate when doing things!
He seemed to see the shadow of that person from Catherine.
Zhu Cixuan looked her carefully again and saw Catherine's upper body wearing a white body, with complex lace on her chest and cuffs, and her scattered blonde hair spread across her shoulders and chest.
As Zhu Cilang's eyes moved down, he found that Catherine's neck button had been unbuttoned, and a piece of snow-white skin was exposed under her slender neck...
"What are you looking at?" Catherine asked curiously in his eyes.
Zhu Cixuan pointed to the pure gold cross on her chest and said seriously: "This cross is perfectly crafted, and you can see that you are a devout Catholic."
When talking about the state religion in Portugal, Catherine's mood was a little depressed and her eyes began to turn red.
Zhu Cixuan opened his mouth and said, "Miss homesickness?
She raised her eyes and nodded slightly, adding a bit of charm to her.
Zhu Cixuan held his hands behind his back and said, "I don't agree with marriage either, but since you are here, I hope to face this fact calmly. To be honest, things have happened, and no matter how anxious you are, it is useless, right?"
Catherine was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your way of comforting people is very strange. I have never heard of such a straightforward comfort. At least you should say something like 'It will definitely get better'."
Zhu Cilang also smiled and said, "Okay, drink more water and everything will be fine."
Catherine giggled and let go. She stared at Zhu Cilang's handsome face and sighed: "Your Majesty, when I was in Portugal, I began to study you. When I came to the sea in the east, I specifically asked the eunuchs and guards about your situation on the ship, and they told you that you were an omnipotent god."
Zhu Cilang did not speak, and continued to maintain a handsome smile, listening to the little beauty in front of him praising him.
Catherine continued: "I have walked around the palace several times these days. It is very beautiful, both in architecture and clothing, so exquisite and elegant! I just feel so strange. Your Majesty, do you know us Europa?"
Zhu Cilang nodded and said, "Learn some."
Then, under Catherine's questioning, Zhu Cixuan first analyzed the situation in Europe from a political and military perspective, and made a simple comment on the advantages and disadvantages of Europe's major countries and the personalities of the nations of various countries.
This is nothing. Faced with Catherine's questioning and guidance, Zhu Cixuan talked about the customs and living habits of European countries, the most popular clothing and styles, such as the differences in living habits between Catalans and Madrid, and the differences in regulations in the ports of the three cities of Amsterdam, Marseille, and London, etc.
