Xu Chenyun blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "I can't see it, you not only brought back a woman from Shandong, but also found a princess from the West, it seems that your taste is not ordinary!" ”

Zhu Cihong listened to it and revealed, "Is there anything else going on?" Expression.

He said solemnly: "If it weren't for the queen's reminder, I almost forgot about it, I heard that the uncle of the country gave me a concubine privately, as the uncle of the country, what kind of system is this?" I'm going to punish him well another day! ”

"Your Majesty......"

Queen Xu rolled her beautiful eyes, the husband and wife have known each other for so many years, and she still understands this bit of her husband's thoughts.

"I heard that the Portuguese princess has a lot of rules, no matter who enters the door, they must knock on the door first."

Zhu Cihong casually flipped through the book next to his seat and said, "People, how good it is to talk about rules, you can also set rules for her." ”

Empress Xu said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubine is jealous and doesn't let you take this Western woman as a concubine, but the concubine is worried that Cining Palace won't let ......."

Zhu Cihong suddenly realized that he hadn't thought about it so much before, the old lady of the Emperor Taishang was a person with feudal thoughts, and since ancient times, there has been a potential rule that the emperor of the Han family does not accept barbarians.

From the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor who accepted the barbarian women of the surrounding vassals was Ming Chengzu Zhu Di alone, and the mother of Ming Xiaozong (Zhengde's grandmother) was also the daughter of a barbarian official.

The women who paid tribute to the Ming vassal state were okay, after all, they were all East Asians, and there was not much difference in appearance, but this Western blonde woman was unacceptable.

Zhu Cihong put down the book in his hand and said: "Emperor Chengzu accepted a Korean woman as a concubine, this is a precedent, and now Portugal is the same as the previous North Korea, barely a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty, and it is no problem for the Emperor Taishang to figure this out." ”

Empress 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 matter if you drag it out like this, I look at you, let's take the time to go to Yongshou Palace to have a look!" ”

"Eternal Longevity Palace......"

Zhu Cihong silently wrote down this place......

Yongshou Palace, one of the six palaces in the west of the inner court.

Zhu Cihong came to the door of the palace, took away the eunuch and palace maid on duty, and knocked on the door.

After a while, I heard a stiff Chinese voice coming from inside: "Come in." ”

He pushed open the door of the palace and walked in, only to see the Portuguese princess lying at the head of the bed, covering her head with a quilt and motionless, and said sullenly: "Just put the black tea away." ”

Being treated as a palace maid by this little Yanmar, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, and said, "Catherine......"

Suddenly a magnetic man's voice was heard, Catherine's body moved, and she let out an exclamation, revealing a big white face from the quilt.

Zhu Cihong saw this Portuguese princess for the first time, she was not very old, but she looked good, she belonged to the type of one white covering ten ugliness, mainly because Zhu liked oriental beauties and couldn't get used to seeing the faces of Western Europe.

But this figure has ups and downs, and it's very interesting......

Catherine got up from the bed and stammered, "Are you?" ”

Shen Mao straightened his waist and introduced: "This is His Majesty the Emperor, and he hasn't come to see him yet!" ”

"You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

Catherine got up from the bed and looked around Zhu Cihong.

The Portuguese are open-minded and outspoken, reluctant to bend each other, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is a typical character.

"Bold!"

"Presumptuous!"

Shen Mao and the other two imperial eunuchs were furious on the spot, and shouted loudly.

"Stand down."

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and asked the eunuchs to leave.

What kind of thing does the eunuch meddle in? It always feels weird!

Perhaps frightened, Catherine stammered: "I'm sorry, I thought it was the palace maid, but I didn't expect it to be you, it's so rude, please...... Have a seat. ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly combed her loose blonde hair with her hands again.

Zhu Cihong was stunned, this long-lost way was the first time he had encountered it in his life.

In his last life, he knew a Portuguese girl, who had sincere and delicate feelings, treated people warmly and sincerely, and was called a passion when she started to do things!

He seemed to see the man's shadow in Catherine's body.

Zhu Cihong looked at her carefully, and saw that Catherine was wearing a white shirt on her upper body, with intricate lace on her chest and cuffs, and her loose blonde hair was draped over her shoulders and chest.

As Zhu Cihong's eyes moved downward, he found that Catherine's neckline had been unbuttoned, revealing a piece of snow-white skin under her slender neck......

"What are you looking at?" Catherine asked curiously, following his gaze.

Zhu Cihong pointed to the pure gold cross on her chest, and said seriously: "This cross is perfectly worked, it can be seen that you are a devout Catholic." ”

At the mention of the state religion of Portugal, Catherine's mood was a little low, and her eyes began to redden.

Zhu Cihong said: "Homesick?

She raised her eyes and nodded slightly, adding a bit of charm to her.

Zhu Cihong put his hands behind his back and said: "I don't agree with the marriage, but since you are here, I hope you can face this fact calmly, to be honest, things have happened, no matter how anxious you are, it's useless, isn't it?" ”

Catherine was stunned for a moment, but then immediately showed a smile and said, "Your Majesty, your way of comforting people is very strange, I have never heard such straightforward comfort, you must at least say something like 'it will be fine'." ”

Zhu Cihong also smiled and said, "Okay, you drink more water, and everything will be fine." ”

Catherine giggled, and let go at once, she stared at Zhu Cihong's handsome face, and sighed: "Your Majesty, when I was in Portugal, I began to study you, and when I came to the sea in the East, I specially inquired about you with the eunuchs and guards on the ship, and they said that you were an omnipotent god. ”

Zhu Cihong didn't say a word, continued to maintain a handsome smile, and listened to the little beauty in front of him boasting about herself.

Catherine continued: "I have walked around the palace a few times in the past few days, and it is very beautiful, both in architecture and in costumes, it is so beautiful and atmospheric! It's just that I'm too strange, Your Majesty, do you know us Europa? ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Understand some." ”

Then, under Catherine's questioning, Zhu Cihong first analyzed the situation in Europe politically and militarily, and then made a brief comment on the advantages and disadvantages of the main European countries and the character of each nation.

This is nothing, in the face of Catherine's questioning and guidance, Zhu Cihong talked about the customs and living habits of European countries, the most popular clothing and styles, such as the difference between the living habits of Catalans and Madelians, and the differences in the regulations of the ports of Amsterdam, Marseille and London.

Even, in the process of chatting, Zhu Cihong sometimes said a few words of Portuguese and French.
