Chapter 905 Selling the Princess
Sir Greenville thought of selling Princess Sophia to Chu Yun and making Britain and the powerful China a political marriage relationship would be a great honor for the British royal family.
In the past, Charles I wanted to ask their princess to be his wife from the powerful Spanish Empire, but the Spanish Empire did not allow it, so he had to ask King Louis XIII of France to marry his sister.
The European royal family never thought of marrying the emperors in the East, because the east is too far away and lacks a powerful country, so it would be less than a loss for them to marry.
However, after Sir Greenville saw that China was so powerful, he inevitably had the idea of marriage. In addition, Chu Yun looked smaller than Charles I, so it might not be impossible. Even as Sophia's princess, he might be able to replace Ella.
Thinking of this, Sir Greenville was thinking.
"Your Highness, the Lord of the East knows everything, maybe you can learn a lot from him," Sir Greenville said to Princess Sophia.
"You are indeed very powerful, at least much better than my brother." Princess Sophia said, staring at Chu Yun.
In Princess Sophia's eyes, Chu Yun is indeed much stronger than many European royal families' marriage partners. China is larger than any European country. Moreover, Chu Yun is not even able to communicate like the Duke of Prussia, the King of Spain, etc. At least Chu Yun can speak strange English.
And the food here is really delicious...
"It's not easy for your Brother Charlie, either." Chu Yun knew about this poor king.
Charles I was executed by the capitalists of the parliament because of a fight with the parliament. He was also the first king in European history to be publicly executed. Chu Yun could not tell Princess Sophia clearly about such a thing, otherwise Sophia would think that he was cursing her brother. At least Chu Yun could hear that the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was still good.
"My brother likes his army and start wars, and likes art, easy-going, and serious. But he is lazy and lacks a sense of humor. He has a bad relationship with parliament, merchants, and Scottish presbyterians. He is also particularly short of money. He often has troubles about not having enough money to start wars, and few people can understand him." Princess Sophia said more words when she spoke of her brother.
"If I had the chance, I think I might be able to meet him." Chu Yun didn't know if his time traveling to this world would change the fate of Charles I.
For Chu Yun, it is obviously not a good choice to let the parliament execute Charles I in accordance with the historical process. Charles I is easier to control than the parliament.
"My brother will definitely be happy to see you. Unfortunately, China is too far away from us. He wants to stay in Britain to favor the Spaniards and the Netherlands. The Netherlands originally fought against the Spaniards with us, but after they became stronger, they gradually drifted away from us and drove our fishing boats away from the Beihai fishing ground." Princess Sophia continued.
Unexpectedly, the princess who became sick and sick was quite good. Sir Greenville now hopes that Princess Sophia and Chu Yun will get closer.
"We can stay in the capital for one or two more months." Salina said to Li Jinde on the side.
Li Jinde couldn't understand what Salina said, so he had to smile bitterly.
Salina gestured anxiously: "I can stay in the capital."
"Okay, let's talk about it later after leaving here." Li Jinde only knew what Salina was anxious to express to him, but she wouldn't be able to understand it for the moment, so he made a gesture to her to wait and say it later.
"This is the fan that Mr. Li gave me at a banquet held by my brother. It is said that there are the original works of Chinese painters." After Princess Sophia became familiar with Chu Yun, she excitedly spread Wen Zhengming's fan to Chu Yun.
"Wen Zhengming..." Chu Yun took the black bone mud fan and knew it was of great value at a glance.
The four talented men in Wuzhong were the most famous in later generations, namely Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, Zhu Yunming, and Xu Zhenqing.
"Is the original owner of this fan very famous? Just like our Western Da Vinci and Raphael?" asked Princess Sophia.
"It's not like. But this is indeed a rare thing. Li Jinde gave it to you, so you must preserve it well." Chu Yun looked through Wen Zhengming's fan and landscape ink paintings. In a few years, it will definitely become a priceless cultural relic, even in this era.
When Li Jinde saw Chu Yun looking at the gift he gave to the British royal family, did the military lord like such a fan? He couldn't help but regret not leaving Wen Zhengming's fan to Chu Yun. But at that time he did not want to have the chance to see Chu Yun.
"Mr. Master, this time I came to the capital and brought some big red sacks from the Jiulongke rock wall of Wuyi Mountain. A mere slight gift would not be respectful." Li Jinde took out a small jar of tea that he had prepared.
He was a little nervous, wondering if Chu Yun would be satisfied.
Salina didn't know how rare it was to Jiulongke Dahongpao. Seeing that Li Jinde had prepared such a little tea for Chu Yun, she couldn't help but worry about Li Jinde.
Chu Yun knew that there were only a few Dahongpao trees in the Jiulongke Rock Wall, and the year with the largest tea production was only a few hundred grams. Although this portion was very small, in fact, each gram was measured by silver.
"This tea is too precious." Chu Yun rejected Li Jinde's kindness.
"Please accept the military leader. If there was no military leader who had fully opened the maritime ban and cleared out the pirates on the southeast coast, I'm afraid I would not be like me today, Li Jinde." Li Jinde said.
Chu Yun still shook his head: "I plan to set up a factory and warehouse in Britain. It is the time to hire people and want to appoint you to participate in this matter. If you accept your tea, it may cause misunderstandings to you and even rumors will spread."
"Military Master... Are you planning to let me participate in European trade?!" Li Jinde was flattered when he saw Chu Yun want to reuse him as a local merchant.
"You have been to Britain and are familiar with the road. If you have helped, maybe we can take root in the local area faster." Chu Yun said.
"I am very willing to play such a role!" Li Jinde volunteered that he could become an opportunity to do things for the Jiuzhou Army!
"But this tea..." Li Jinde knew that if Chu Yun planned to reuse him, it would not be a suitable thing to accept his gift at this time.
"I only took a small handful of tea to make a pot of tea and shared it with everyone on site." Chu Yun didn't want to make it too difficult for Li Jinde to make it, so he asked Yu Cheng to take some tea leaves to make tea.
"Our King of Britain has also prepared a gift for you." Sir Greenville took out the wooden box that Charles I had given Chu Yun.
