ps: Ask for tickets, ask for collections, today's English B-level exam, I feel sad, let's comfort me??

Hearing their answers, Edward nodded in satisfaction, a smile on his face.

Seeing His Majesty's satisfied look, Baron Smith and Sir John breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and nodded.

Edward didn't see the small movements of the two in front of him, but just turned his head and cast his eyes out the window.

At this time, London was still as lively as ever, except that Whitehall House was in the center of London, and there were no shops, only crowds of people coming and going.

The well-dressed and personable gentleman in the carriage, the lady who talks and laughs, the merchant with a high hat at a leisurely pace, and the ordinary citizen in a hurry.

This is London, located at the end of the Middle Ages, the London of the budding capitalism.

"Very well, Baron Smith, you have placed these guys in the barracks outside London, the barracks where the militia used to be stationed."

"You give me a good training for them, just like I trained orphans a while ago!"

Edward didn't look back, just looked at the green glass window and said slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Baron Smith saluted Edward with a blank look.

"Sir John, hurry up and get the money in place, and you will pay the salaries of these people in the future!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! That, I don't know how much these people's salaries should be counted each month? ”

Sir John hurried to respond, but with a roll of his eyes, the stinginess came out again.

"This, now count twelve shillings a month, and in half a year it will rise to one pound, and in another year, it will rise to the current level of eight layers of these old guards!"

These words asked Edward's heart, even if he was not sensitive to money, but the sum of three thousand people, the salary alone every month was terrifying, and it would make Edward's heart ache even more.

Moreover, it would be unfair to put the newcomers on the same level as the veterans who had come from Henry VIII.

"Yes, Your Majesty, your instructions are the beacon of my actions!"

Sir John said sensibly.

Just then, the little maid Lucy came over and whispered into Edward's ear.

"Let him come in too! Just say it together! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty. Lucy bowed politely, and then withdrew.

Soon, the handsome middle-aged man Alexander Knight, who was brightly dressed and personable, walked in, and his every move was pleasing to the eye, and it was natural to have a good impression of him.

After all, handsome guys and beauties are all privileged, and automatically brushing up on good feelings when they meet is one of them.

"Good day, Your Majesty!"

"Good day, Mr. Knight!"

"Mr. Knight, do you have anything to do today?" Edward finally turned around and asked, confused.

"Your Majesty, you ordered that fifty orphans be selected to become guards, and the selection has been completed!"

The voice of the Alexander knight is mellow, with both the magnetism of a middle-aged man and a hint of the softness of a woman, which sounds very intoxicating.

"Among them, 30 men and 20 women are all the best of the best."

"Very well, let the oldest orphans join the Darkblade if they didn't choose!"

Edward was glad that the loyal orphans had joined the Guard, giving him a deeper grip on the Guard.

"If, among those orphans who have been screened, any of them want to continue their studies, and they are more talented in reading, let them go to university!"

"I don't think any university would dare not accept them!" Edward thought about it again, he couldn't kill some children who might be future scientists or inventors, and these people still contributed a lot to society.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Alexander was a little puzzled why Edward wanted these people to go to college, what was the use of studying, and paying tuition.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Knight, if there are orphans with outstanding reading talents in the future, let them continue to study!"

"And, dear Sir John, you will be responsible for the expenses of these orphans going to college!"

Hearing Edward say this, Sir John immediately grimaced with a bitter face, the reluctant color on his face.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Do as you are told. Sir John replied reluctantly.

"That's it for today! You can step down! ”

Edward waved at the three of them and said lazily.

"Yes, we are retired, Your Majesty!" The three of them bowed and said in unison.

The three of them slowly stepped back, reached the door, and then turned and walked again.

Edward was alone for a while, then walked out of the room and into the backyard.

"Hahaha......" Before Edward arrived, he heard a string of wind chime-like laughter, which made Edward smile.

Sure enough, as soon as Edward arrived, he saw his sister Elizabeth and little Lori Marie sitting on a hanging chair together, and flying quickly high under the impetus of Casey and her maid.

Little Lori, who was sitting on the hanging chair, squinted her eyes happily, and a string of touching laughter emerged from her small mouth.

And Elizabeth, who was wearing a long white dress, shouted happily like a child, without the slightest hint of a princess.

Edward just stood there, watching with pleasure.

After about ten minutes, little Lori and Elizabeth, who had been playing for a while, stopped, sweating, as if they had fought a battle, and they were tired.

After the two came down, they discovered Edward's existence, and little Lori ran over quickly and threw herself into Edward's arms.

"Brother Edward, when did you come, why didn't you tell me!"

Edward lifted little Lori up in the air, happy that she squinted her eyes and opened her mouth wide.

After stopping, little Lori suddenly frowned, crossed her hands on her hips, stared at her round eyes, and looked at Edward and said.

"Oh, who's going to be there all the time playing with the sling, and not taking me along!" Edward squatted down and looked at little Lori and said with a teasing expression.

"Haha!!" Little Lori, who had a tight little face, couldn't hold back anymore and smiled happily.

"Brother Edward, who told you not to come back, don't blame me!"

Little Lori smiled embarrassedly, and then said righteously, putting all the blame on Edward.

"Okay, I'll spare you this time, and you must add me next time! Pull Hook—"

"Okay, pull hook, don't change for a hundred years!" Little Lori stretched out her little finger and hooked it up with Edward's little finger, and said loudly.

After Edward and Lori had a good argument for a while, he then walked to Elizabeth, whose face was full of black lines.

"Hey! Elizabeth, I didn't expect you to like to play this! ”

"Hey, can't I just play this? Little Edward, do you want to discipline me like my father? ”

In order to hide her embarrassment, Elizabeth showed a vicious expression on her face, said with a fierce face, and gestured with her fist.

"No, no, how dare I care about Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth!"

"I mean, if you like to play, I'll do it for you!"

Edward waved his hand in a frightened gesture before saying.

"Poof-" Seeing Edward do this, Elizabeth and little Lori laughed together.

Looking at the two of them laughing together, Edward rolled his eyes indifferently and let them laugh.

"Alright, Elizabeth, you're sixteen, aren't you?"

Edward looked at Princess Elizabeth, who was fair-skinned and had long flowing hair, and asked out loud.

"Yes, you're right, what's wrong?" Elizabeth was suddenly asked about her age, and felt a little weird, so she asked rhetorically.

"That's the case, your age is not too young, usually the young lady of the aristocratic family has already been engaged at this time, or has been married and has children!"

"Now there are many discussions between the government and the opposition, all of them are discussing your marriage, and I also think that you have reached the age when you should get married, it's time to get married!"

"Of course, I completely leave the decision on your marriage to you, even if you like a small nobleman, even a businessman or a commoner, I will not stop you!"

After Edward said this, he directly made Elizabeth blush, and Her Royal Highness the princess, who was usually very arrogant, was also a little embarrassed.

"Well, Edward, don't worry about me, I'll find it myself!"

Speaking of which, Elizabeth's face finally turned into a big apple.

"By the way, Edward, it doesn't matter what I'm married, but my sister Mary's marriage is very important, she's very old!"

Elizabeth found a good excuse to change the subject at this time, and that was Princess Mary's marriage.

Princess Mary, who was born in 1516, is already 33 years old, and even in China in the 21st century, such an older leftover woman is rare.

Of course, she is not to blame for such a situation, and the main responsibility lies with Henry VIII and fate.

In 1518, when Marie was 2 years old, Henry VIII betrothed her to the Dauphin of France, the son of King François I of France. But after 3 years, the marriage contract was declared null and void.

In 1522, she was betrothed to her 22-year-old cousin, Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire, but a few years later, Charles V married a Portuguese princess, and Mary's marriage fell through.

François I of France was once again seen as Mary's betrothed partner, as their marriage would lead to a friendship between the two countries.

The marriage contract also guaranteed that Marie would marry François I or his second son, Henry, Duke of Orleans.

However, Wolsey, Henry VIII's chief adviser, succeeded in preserving the alliance between the two countries through other means, and Mary's political marriage lost its purpose. The marriage fell through again.

So, after Elizabeth's reminder, Edward finally noticed that his eldest sister, Princess Mary, had never married.

"Well, indeed, it's time for Mary to find a husband!"

Edward thought for a moment, then said.

"But don't try to hide, you can get married too!"
