ps: The first update, ask for votes, ask for subscriptions.

The Earl of Wellington became the Marquess of Edinburgh, and Edward also gave him three small estates of less than 1,000 acres in Scotland, which did not make him the real master of Edinburgh.

The scene that followed was basically the same, first Edward called the name, then knelt down on one knee in front of Edward, Edward read his exploits, and finally did not have the words to the Marquess of Edinburgh, they were not worthy of the title.

Baron Smith was made Viscount of Sandel and was given a castle by Edward, as well as a thousand-acre manor near the castle, basically he was not a court nobleman, but his territory was not as big as a baron, so the nobles still regarded him as a court nobleman.

Major James was made Baron Belva, and owned a castle and a manor of 800 acres of fertile land, which was a large fortune.

And Major Dio was named Baron Huntington by Edward, which is also a claim, and the specific is just a manor with thousands of acres of fertile land near Huntington, which can be regarded as favor!

Don't underestimate the title of baron. Although the most common among the nobility were barons, the titles and fiefs of barons were passed on through blood and marriage relations, and could not be sold or transferred at will, and successive kings did not arbitrarily increase or deprive them of noble titles.

For example, in 1387, Richard II added the title of Baron for the first time, and Biochampo de Hault was made Baron Kidminster. For hundreds of years, the Hault family was a baron, rich and wealthy for hundreds of years.

Therefore, after this grand ceremony, the faces of the few people who were enshrined kept smiling happily, and they kept greeting the surrounding nobles and ministers.

Among them, Major Dio was the most popular among the nobles.

Others, such as Viscount Smith and Baron James, are all in their thirties and forties, and they have already borne fruit.

And the Baron Dior from the Coslant family in France is still single, which is a potential stock.

Moreover, Major Dio was only in his twenties, which was still relatively young among the nobles, and it was not a disadvantage to marry his daughter.

Moreover, even if he is fifty or sixty years old, with the status of a baron, a wave of marriage is not a loss.

As a result, compared to the others, Major Theo had the most people nearby, densely packed, equivalent to three or four times that of Smith and others.

Looking at so many people around him, and asking about his age and marital status one by one, Major Dio, no matter how stupid he was, understood that he had become a sweetheart.

Looking at the somewhat crowded crowd in front of him, Major Dio thought silently: "It turns out that being popular is still a troublesome thing. ”

A wry smile appeared in his heart, but the newly promoted Baron Cowsrant had a smile on his face, and he smiled and greeted the nobles and ministers who came to greet him.

Baron Theo also chose to answer some questions, and after half an hour, he felt his face stiffen with a smile, and the crowd slowly receded.

"Whew-" In the sparsely populated corner, Baron Theo let out a soft breath, for him, a man from France, these nobles and ministers had to build a good relationship, and it was impossible to refuse directly.

He will have to get used to the relationship with the nobles and ministers in the future, and he is not the son of the baron who is bent on fighting.

A hint of bitterness appeared in the corners of Baron Theo's mouth, and then he turned his heart sideways, began to turn his head to look at the crowd in a circle, and took the first step.

Just when Major Dio had made up his mind to integrate into England, Edward had already left on his own.

He knew that the next time was the time for the nobles to communicate, and if he stayed, the ministers and nobles would be very reserved, and it was better not to stay.

Besides, he didn't want to chat with this group of conservative and untopical nobles.

At this time, in the garden behind Windsor Castle, the garden is full of flowers and trees, and a group of noble women of England are smiling and playing.

The unknown bird stood on the branch, tilted its head, and looked curiously at the group of behemoths in front of it, and before long it saw them show a bloody mouth, enough to envelop it in one bite, and frightened it to quickly shake its wings and shift its position.

And the behemoth in the eyes of the bird is the Queen Mary brought by Edward from Edinburgh, as well as his sisters Princess Elizabeth and Princess Mary, and the restless little Lori.

Expensive dyed fine linen was haphazardly spread on the grass, and the maids stood bent over to serve, and on the floor the linen was laid out with various fruits and flowers, and boiled golden roast chicken, which had been quickly cut.

Under Edward's influence, the likes of Princess Elizabeth and Princess Mary preferred to eat fruit raw, rather than cooked it like other nobles.

Princess Mary wore a long white dress with gold lace, pale red moccasin boots on her feet, and a golden necklace around her neck, but she lay on the linen without any image, squinting at the white sky, and did not know what she was thinking.

Dressed in pink pajamas and bows, little Lori ran around the garden with four other Marys, wanting to pick beautiful flowers when she saw them, and looked very happy.

The maid Casey followed closely, looking at the cheerful little Lori, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Princess Mary, who was wearing a light blue dress, and Queen Mary, who was wearing a white dress, sat dignified on the linen, next to each other, chatting happily.

Elizabeth lay on the linen, with a bored look on her face, pouted, and looked at Princess Mary and Queen Mary who were chatting.

Looking at the two of them with joy, Elizabeth frowned: "What is there to talk about in the teachings of Rome, I am bored to death, and I don't know what Edward is doing at this time!" ”

Thinking about it, Elizabeth pulled a long weed with a rhizome out of the meadow and stared blankly.

Suddenly, she heard something she was interested in.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you are so beautiful, gentle and considerate, I think whoever marries you in this world is really blessed by God."

Queen Mary looked at Princess Mary with a gentle face and said with a smile.

Hearing such a sentence, Princess Mary's eyes suddenly dimmed, turned her head, and looked into the distance with a listless expression.

"Oh! Your Royal Highness, don't be sad, believe me, for a beautiful princess like you, the all-powerful Lord will definitely arrange it! ”

Seeing Princess Mary's expression like this, Queen Mother, who knew that she had said the wrong thing, hurriedly added.

"I hope so!" Princess Mary suddenly talked a lot less, pursed her lips, and said lightly.
