Listening to this, Catherine's eyes widened with disbelief.

"Oh my God, I really don't understand, why are you so familiar with the history of Europe since you haven't been to Europe? Not even the most knowledgeable and wise scholar in Europe can match you! ”

At this time, Catherine even had doubts about her identity, is she a European, or is the handsome uncle in front of her a European?

Zhu Cihong is funny in his heart, picking up girls is a science, some people like to pretend to be ruffian, some people like to pretend to be ruthless, and some people like to be handsome, Zhu Cihong likes to pretend to be literary and artistic.

It's not that he's pretending, these contents were sent by the European Intelligence Network some time ago, and you can remember it after reading it once.

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "As a monarch, understanding the world is the most basic literacy, not surprising, let's change the topic." ”

Catherine was slightly stunned and said, "Change the topic." ”

At this time, Zhu Cihong had already come to her, with an ambiguous look in his eyes, and said, "For example, your marriage." ”

Catherine didn't expect the atmosphere to suddenly become so ambiguous, and her face showed a flush.

Then, Zhu Cihong summoned the eunuchs, the chief eunuch of Shangshan, and asked them to arrange a Western-style candlelight dinner according to their own arrangements.

Candlelight dinner is the highest level of romantic dining for couples, and it is also the best program in the world of two, which is more popular in Europe, but now in Europe, there is no such program.

Food, music, flowers, candlelight, everything is available, Zhu Cihong swore that when he got along with Queen Xu, he didn't have such a good time.

A few flowers and candles are matched, accompanied by soft music, soft sweetness, and strong incense, like a wisp of indissolable tenderness around you, setting off a strong atmosphere.

Catherine was only seventeen or eighteen years old after all, and it was the first time she saw such a scene, and she was unsurprisingly intoxicated.

She tasted the delicious food while smelling the fragrance of the flowers, which was wonderful.

She will put a piece of dessert on the tip of her tongue, close her eyes, and let her heart ripple in the silky lubricating feeling, feel the warmth and sweetness that slowly spread, and feel silky tenderness!

After all, the old driver is an old driver, and Emperor Zhu is extremely sophisticated, his words and deeds are relaxed, step by step, and constantly render the atmosphere.

Catherine has a cheerful temperament, because of her high status, and is regarded by Portugal as a high-level bargaining chip for political marriages, and her vision is extremely high, and she has never liked a man.

It wasn't until he met Zhu Cihong that he was deeply attracted by this mysterious oriental man.

Today's play has brought the young princess's understanding of Zhu Cihong to a new height.

This kind of thing is the easiest to get started, and in the end, the two hugged each other, and gradually became a legal couple who talked about everything from a stranger an hour ago.......

Zhu Cihong said softly: "Catherine, you are more moving than I imagined. ”

Catherine closed her eyes and enjoyed the beautiful moment, and opened her mouth slightly in a moment of sober consciousness and said, "Really? And how do I compare to your concubines? ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned, but his expression remained unchanged, this is not the first time he has heard this kind of question.

He replied with a smile: "You all have your own strengths, if you want to compare with each other, you need to understand it deeply." ”

Catherine was still young after all, and she didn't understand this, so she just nodded lightly and began to show off her talents.

She felt that what His Majesty the Emperor said about in-depth understanding should be more than cultural literacy.

Because in the past few days, Catherine has also seen several imperial concubines, and I feel that they are all so temperamental, and at first glance they are strange women with high cultural literacy.

In this way, in an auspicious and happy atmosphere, the two began to spend the Spring Festival together, discussing the cultural classics of the East and the West.

This is an exchange between cultural people, and it is also a collision between Eastern and Western cultures.

In the evening, Catherine told a lot about life in Portugal, and that she was not born a princess, but the daughter of a duke.

Because her father, João IV, was previously Theodosio II, the seventh Duke of Bragança of Portugal, and her family was a branch of the Aviš dynasty of Portugal.

Seventy years ago, King Philip II of Spain claimed to inherit the Portuguese throne and annexed Portugal on the grounds that he was the grandson of King Manuel I of Portugal and the nephew of João III and Enrique.

Later, Catherine's father, João IV, united with the Portuguese nobles, took advantage of Spain's weakness, occupied the royal palace of Lisbon, executed the Spanish ministers of state, forced the Spanish garrison to surrender, and declared the deposition of King Philip IV of Spain as the king of Portugal, and established himself as the king, declaring the independence of Portugal.

Zhu Cihong listened attentively on the surface, but his eyes observed Catherine's expression from time to time, and after seeing that she was not abnormal, he was a little relieved.

Today, Emperor Zhu made such a show, not because Catherine was lovely and wanted to try it.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing is to have various types of beauties, and his behavior today is completely in the next big game of chess, a relatively scummy game of chess.

Since he and Catherine are in a political marriage, Zhu Cihong must maximize the benefits of this marriage!

How to maximize benefits? To give birth to a king for the Kingdom of Portugal, of course!

According to the European tradition, the Bible stipulates that Jesus supports that the European royal family must practice monogamous "holy marriage", and all Europeans who violate the "monogamy" will be punished by the Creator.

Even if this punishment is mostly artificial, it does not affect the European royal family's adherence to it for thousands of years.

In this way, the princesses of Europe can inherit the throne, after all, no one can guarantee the birth of a boy or a girl.

Of course, most European kings would raise their lovers outside the bread, which can be made vigorously.

But the children born to the juniors, whether male or female, have no inheritance rights, and they cannot even be counted as members of the royal family.

Emperor Zhu can do anything for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is at the expense of his hue.......

Zhu Cihong wanted his son or daughter to be called the king of Portugal, and the first thing to do was to make Catherine the queen of Portugal first.

According to the information provided by Wu Zhong, the current King João IV of Portugal has a total of four sons and three daughters, the eldest son and the second son have stopped cooking, and the eldest daughter and second daughter have also stopped cooking.

The remaining three sons, Alfonso and the fourth son, Pedro, are about the same age as the crown prince Zhu and His Majesty, but they are both frail and sickly, but if the people in the European branch of Jinyiwei are a little blind, the life of these two brothers-in-law is not easy......

Historically, Catherine, after the death of her two younger brothers, became regent of Portugal, assisting her nephew Pedro II, who was only a few years old.

If Zhu Cihong and Catherine have a child, first of all, this child will be the prince of Daming, and after Catherine inherits the throne, this child will be rightfully called the king of Portugal!

This kind of thought, not only Zhu Cihong is thinking, but also Louis XIV of France, he is married to a Spanish princess.

It's just that in order to prevent this from happening, Spain specifically stipulated in the Treaty of the Pyrenees that a princess who married Louis XIV could not inherit the Spanish throne.

Even so, the historical Spain did not avoid the succession to the throne smoothly, after the Spanish Habsburg dynasty was extinct and the throne was vacant, the Bourbon dynasty led by Louis XIV, in order to compete for the Spanish throne, triggered a war of Spanish succession in which most European countries participated, and the world was dark.

Zhu Cihong's move is more stable than Louis XIV, because now there are two princes in the Portuguese royal family, and no one would have thought that there would be an accident in the future, let alone be wary of the Ming Emperor hundreds of thousands of miles away.
