Chapter Seventy-Seven: Fishing
"Ahem! Cough! Gentlemen, it is now up to me to read out the results of this proposal! ”
Baron Ross reminded the councillors who were still talking, glanced at them with reading eyes, and then continued to read.
"A total of 258 people voted on this proposal, which is in line with the bill voted on by the House!"
Of these, one hundred and forty-nine voted against, ninety voted in favor and nineteen abstained! Since the number of opponents is more than half! ”
Reading this, Baron Rose looked at the nobles in front of him with happy expressions, and read it out loud.
"So, now I declare that the proposal for a merger agreement in this parliament is vetoed, and no person or organization is allowed to sign this bill!"
"Even if signed, it must not have legal significance, read by: Chippabard. Ross, proclaimed on September 25, 1547. ”
After the Speaker read the decree, the nobles could no longer control the excitement in their hearts and hugged the nobles who knew each other well.
After all, England had besieged the city of Edinburgh for a month, a scenario not seen in hundreds of years. Even though food continued to flow in from the sea, the nobles and citizens of the city could not help but feel hopeless.
"Your Majesty! News came from the House that the Englishman's bill had been rejected! The Scots decided to stay the course with the English! ”
The young maid hurried in, her tone full of joy. As the maid of the Empress Dowager Mary, she knew that the Empress Dowager Mary had been paying attention to this matter.
At this time, Queen Mother Mary was drinking black tea with various condiments, taking small sips, and her movements were full of elegance among nobles.
"Emily! Don't panic! Talk about it slowly! Queen Mary lightly opened her red lips and said very calmly.
Queen Mary didn't really want England and Scotland to merge. Although she will not be in any danger as Queen Mary's mother, her rights are also out of luck.
Moreover, she married with the expectations of her father and brother and the request of the French royal family, to maintain the alliance between Scotland and France, and to pull the English back.
"Yes! Her Majesty the Queen Mother! Emily whispered.
It must be mentioned here that the word "majesty" was usually used to refer to kings and queens in the sixteenth century, and it was not until the Elizabethan period that it slowly evolved into a special title for kings.
"Alright, you go down!" After listening to the maid's words, Queen Mary slowly burst into a smile, the style of a mature woman was unobstructed, and her full breasts were also trembling, as if they were about to overflow.
At the same time, there were many sighs and laughter in Edinburgh.
Behind Windsor Castle, there is a pond about half a mile in circumference. By the pond, behind a stake sat two teenagers wearing garlands and a little Lori.
The two sat in front of them, each holding a fishing rod in his hand, but Edward's was larger and Mary's was smaller.
The two of them were followed by two maids, Lucy and Casey, staring nervously at the water in front of them, not daring to blink.
The same is true of little Mary, her little hands are tightly grasping the small fishing rod, her round little eyes have been looking at her fishing rod, her pink little face is tight, her little lips are pursed, and she is full of serious looks, which is very cute. And her beloved floral dress was dragged on the floor, stained with a little mud and grass, and she didn't notice it at all.
Edward, on the other hand, casually touched his palm with a fishing rod, and lay on the chaise longue made by his guide carpenter, squinting his eyes, enjoying the rare sunny day in England.
"Ahh There are fish, small fish fish! Brother Edward......"
In his daze, Edward heard a cry of surprise, and a voice calling for himself.
Gently open his eyes, only half of his eyelids could be opened in the sunlight, and that was enough for Edward to see what was going on.
I saw little Lori jumping in the back, and Lucy and Kathy in front of her grabbed his fishing rod and kept dragging it back, tired and sweaty.
Only then did Edward realize that his rod had caught a large fish, and he fell asleep without noticing.
"Brother Edward, why are you asleep, come on, we have caught a big fish, we can eat fish today! La-la-la! ”
Little Mary saw Edward's eyes open, shook Edward's arm happily, pursed her little lips, and looked at Edward reproachfully.
After a while, it seemed that Lucy and Casey's movements were more intense, and little Mary's attention turned to the front again.
"Sister Lucy, Aunt Kathy! Come on! Be sure to put the small fish fish, no! Get the big fish! ”
Little Mary clenched her fists, her little face flushed, her mouth kept muttering in pieces, and her tender body seemed to be full of strength at this time.
"I'm coming! Let me help you! Edward slammed his long sleeves to death, revealing his thin, white arms.
"Okay! Brother Edward, come and catch fish! Little Mary clapped her hands happily, her little face flushed like a little apple, and she wanted to take a bite of it.
When Edward heard this, he stepped on the grass, pulled the end of the rod, and dragged it back vigorously, his feet against the slippery mud, and fell backwards with his weight and strength.
Edward also swayed from side to side from time to time, in order to exhaust the strength of the big fish.
In fact, this fish was beyond Edward's expectations, and even with the addition of Edward, the three of them tossed for nearly ten minutes before they stopped.
"Come on! Follow my slogan and mention it together! Edward saw that the rod was getting quieter, and he knew that the confrontation was over.
"Mention! Raise! Raise! Edward shouted urgently, and Lucy and Casey, who were in front of him, also cooperated to lift the fishing rod.
"Bang-" A large fish more than a foot long was thrown on the grass, flapping its tail from time to time, and trying to get back into the water.
"Wow! There are big fish, there are big fish! As soon as little Mary saw the fish being thrown to the ground, she ran hurriedly, shouting and jumping for joy.
Edinburgh, the barracks of England, Duke Edward sat in a chair and listened to the message from the messenger.
"Lord Duke! My lord informs you that the Lord Regent, Count Aaron, has been very slippery in forwarding your proposal to the House! ”
"And you know that the nobles are hostile to you and the English army, and not many welcome you like my master!"
As he spoke, the messenger did not forget to praise the master of his house.
"In the end, the proposal was rejected by the House, and my master asked you, I wonder if you have any other hints?"
The messenger looked cautiously at Duke Edward and whispered.
"Yes! I see, I've expected this, so don't let your master be active! Hide carefully. ”
"Also, his contribution to our England, I think His Majesty will know about it!"
Duke Edward stroked his beard with his left hand and said in a deep voice.
After the messenger left, the Earl of Wellington, who was on the side, couldn't help asking:
"Your Excellency, are you still going back to London as planned?"
"Of course, the Holy Religion reform will continue!"
