"What are you talking about? Oh my God! It's crazy!"

Coventry knew that this matter was indeed a bit difficult for a strong man, but because of the king's order, he had to continue to persuade Margaret, "Your Royal Highness, England needs you! ”

Margaret fiddled with the ornaments on her long skirt and said disapprehantly, "What England needs is not a little woman like me, but a brave man." Honourable Lord Coventry, are you not willing to summon up the courage to fight valiantly for the sake of your great country?"

Coventry cursed the father and daughter in his heart, damn it! Sure enough, the royal family doesn't have a good thing!

"My kind princess, it's not that I don't want to fight for the great English, but if there is a way to save countless poor mothers and miserable wives with a small sacrifice, then can you make this small sacrifice?"

Listening to Coventry's words, Margaret's teeth itched with hatred. This shameless old fox actually asked me, a cute 16-year-old girl, to marry a foreign man, and he was an old man in his 40s.

"Alas...... Honorable Excellency, it's not that I'm unwilling to die for England, but I'm only 16 years old! I remember your eldest daughter is 26, right?"

Coventry would love to reach out and slap her, and you would have let me go to my death, and push my poor daughter into the fire pit.

No! Absolutely not! I swear to Satan that I must convince her!

"Speaking from the bottom of my heart, if I could let my daughter replace you, I would gladly agree. But the problem is that she is not a member of the royal family, so she is not enough to take on this mission. ”

After pretending to be sad to say this, he suddenly changed his tone, "But Your Royal Highness the Princess, 16 years old is not too young, and your mother married His Majesty the King at the age of 14. ”

Margaret underestimated Coventry's shamelessness and wanted to say no, but she understood that her role was to make these dirty political deals.

She had no choice but to passively do some useless struggles.

Annoyed, she ripped off the fabric rose from her long skirt and handed it to Coventry, and she said quietly: "Your Excellency Coventry, I am at least a princess, and he is only an earl." For the sake of England's face, I can't surrender myself to meet him, do you understand?"

After all, Coventry is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and after glancing at the fabric rose in her hand, she has already guessed what she means.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, I will personally hand over your gift to Count Liu, and will bring back his sincere greetings to you, as well as a return gift!"

Without waiting for Margaret to reply, he walked out of the palace without looking back, clutching the so-called gift.

Immediately after leaving the palace, Coventry took a detachment of guards and drove to the port of London in a horse-drawn carriage.

On the way to the docks, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and secretly cursed the father and daughter, "Hmph! Damn it, the stupid woman of the Lanchester family is not a good thing like your bastard father! I will not let you get your wish, swear to Satan, I will definitely marry you to that hateful Earl of the Ming Kingdom!"

Half an hour later, Coventry arrived at the port. Stepping out of the carriage, he smelled the foul air of the docks, glanced at the sailors and civilians in rags around him, and couldn't help but curse: "Damn the hell place!"

After adjusting his mentality slightly, he commanded one of the guards arrogantly: "You, go to the flagship of the Ming Kingdom, and say that the Lanchester Dynasty, the Prime Minister, the Marquis of Coventry, has come to visit!"

The guards he ordered, although they were dissatisfied with his attitude, could only helplessly go to the Ming fleet to report.

Coming to the Ming fleet, the guards found a lieutenant and, after informing him of Coventry's request, was quickly brought to a thousand households. Qianhu made a simple inquiry, and sent him back to bring the people.

Not long after, Coventry met Liu Chengying for the first time in the ship's reception room. He squinted his eyes and looked at the general of the Ming Kingdom, and from the angular face and resolute gaze, he could see that this person was not easy to deal with.

Clearing his throat, he bowed slightly with aristocratic etiquette and exaggerated compliments: "Honorable envoy of the Ming Kingdom, the sword in the hands of His Majesty the Great Emperor, the conqueror of the sea, Your Excellency Count Liu." I, the Marquis of Coventry, envoy of the Kingdom of England, bring you the sincerest greetings from King Henry IV!"

Liu Chengying has been floating overseas for many years, and she knows that these barbarians like to exaggerate when they speak, so she just smiled faintly and asked Coventry to sit down.

After three rounds of tea, he asked straight to the point: "Your Excellency, what advice does the king of your country have? If it is a matter of the fleet, please don't worry about him, I will leave by myself after a short rest." ”

was directly poked in his heart, and Coventry was even more sure that this person was not easy to deal with.

"Your Excellency, my King is not urging you to leave, but welcomes the fleet to stay in London for a few more days. And our little princess, Margaret, was overjoyed to hear of Your Excellency's arrival, and asked me to bring you a gift made by her. ”

With that, he handed over a delicate wooden box.

Liu Chengying took the wooden box, opened it and glanced at the fabric roses inside, and couldn't help sneering in her heart. This princess is also idle enough, and she still does this kind of manual work when she has nothing to do.

Closing the wooden box, he pretended to be happy and said, "I have accepted the princess's gift, and it can be seen that this is a clever girl, and I am very satisfied." ”

Coventry saw that he had made the rose as a margaret, and did not break it, "I think Her Royal Highness will be very pleased when she learns of your compliment." ”

Liu Chengying nodded, "Well, the courtesies are still exchanged, and I have also prepared gifts for His Majesty the King and the princess, although it is not worth a few dollars, but it can be regarded as a piece of heart." ”

As soon as the words fell, the guard directly opened the five camphor wood boxes and asked him to check them one by one.

Coventry's eyes widened as he looked at the box full of fine porcelain and silk, and for a moment he was stunned. I thought to myself, which is a worthless gift. In London, each box can sell for at least £30,000, which is a full £150,000!

Seeing him greedily staring at these wooden boxes, Liu Chengying felt disdainful in her heart, but she had to continue to be vain.

"Your Excellency Marquis, I have prepared a bite of the same box for you. Look at the hour, it should have been delivered to your carriage. ”

Coventry heard that he also had a camphor wood box, and his heart was full of joy to express his gratitude.

Liu Chengying waved her hand, "Your Excellency Marquis, be careful, don't worry." I hope that when you return, you will inform Your Majesty that you will obey the laws of your country during our time in London, and that he will not worry. ”

Then he took a wooden box from the guard and handed it to Coventry, "This is a return gift for the princess." ”

Coventry opened the wooden box and was surprised to find that it was full of gemstones. He secretly estimated the value, and felt that it was at least double the value of the gift he had given to the king.

Seeing this result, he regretted it a little. Why didn't he listen to Margaret and replace his daughter?
