Volume 18 Chapter 26 The Prince and Princess Are Engaged for Life

On the train to the north, Zheng Chenggong looked out of the car with deep eyes for a while, and then turned his head to answer Princess Maria's question, always maintaining an intoxicating smile on his face, although this way of thinking about the problem was half the effort, but he enjoyed it.

And Princess Maria is the most curious and active age, especially when she meets a confidant, her mouth is not idle for a moment, at this time they are chatting about Madrid, Princess Maria asked crisply: "Your Royal Highness, have you been to Madrid?" “

The European royal family generally cultivates their children in various Chinese languages, now the Ming Empire is the world's first power, as an ally of Spain, Chinese is naturally a compulsory subject for the royal family, Maria also speaks Chinese, but she is not very used to communicating with people in Chinese, she speaks Spanish with Chinese at this time, ordinary people really can't understand this situation, but Zheng Chenggong has no problem, he looked back and smiled: "Well, I went up with the emperor once." “

Princess Maria said adoringly: "Your Majesty, is that your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire?" “

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he said proudly: "Yes, the emperor we are talking about is His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire." “

Mary's eyes were full of little stars and she said, "Are you talking about that time six years ago?" I heard that in order to compete with my uncle for Sister Anna, your emperor did not hesitate to send the Praetorian Guard to surround the French camp, and there was also a prince His Royal Highness who beat my uncle so much that he couldn't get out of bed for several days. “

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, his face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Uh, this, yes, His Royal Highness the Prince is my father." “

Princess Mary applauded excitedly: "Yes, yes, good fight, Uncle Gaston hates it the most, but unfortunately I went back to France with my mother that time, and I didn't see him at that time." “

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, after all, blood is thicker than water, he originally thought that Princess Maria would stand on the side of Duke Gaston, but now it seems that he guessed completely wrong, it seems that Her Royal Highness the princess has a lot of opinions about his uncle, what is going on?

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "You don't like your uncle?" “

Princess Maria nodded without any scheming and said, "Yes, my uncle is annoying, always lustful, he used to think badly about Sister Anna, and now he, he, he is still beating my idea!" “

Zheng Chenggong didn't squirt out the sip of tea he just drank, this is too exaggerated, that Gaston is Princess Maria's maternal uncle, and the European royal family is really messy enough, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "How can this work, he is your own uncle!" “

Princess Maria said with a sad face: "Yes, I don't want to, but my mother wants to promote the marriage between Spain and France, even if I don't marry my uncle, I have to marry my cousin Diedonnay, my mother is just waiting to see who can inherit the French throne between my uncle and my cousin." “

What a mess, he wants to marry his daughter to his own brother or nephew!

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but say angrily: "Hu Lai, doesn't your father care?" “

Princess Maria said complainingly: "My father only has interests in his eyes, didn't Sister Anna almost marry him at the beginning, if it weren't for the intervention of His Majesty the Emperor of your Ming Empire, Sister Anna may already be my stepmother, I heard that Sister Anna is living very well in your Ming Empire, I envy her so much." “

Speaking of Princess Anna, Zheng Chenggong's anger stopped for a while, and he missed: "Yes, Sister Anna has a good life in our Ming Empire, the emperor dotes on her very much, and she also gave birth to a baby, so cute, so cute." “

Princess Maria couldn't help but applaud: "Really, what is the name of Sister Anna's little baby, I really want to go to the Ming Empire to see Sister Anna and her little baby!" ”

Zheng Chenggong said with a little doting: "Sister Anna's baby is called Zhu Hejun, and she is the second prince of our emperor, and in the future, he will also become a prince." “

Princess Maria couldn't help but envy: "Sister Anna is so happy, she met her Prince Charming in her most difficult time, and I, I, I, His Royal Highness, are you willing to be my Prince Charming?" Are you willing to take me out of the sea of suffering and go to the Ming Empire? “

In the end, her face was already flushed, and her voice was so low that only Zheng Chenggong in front of her could barely hear it.

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, his tender face also turned red, he groaned for a while, and then nodded firmly: "Okay, I'll be your prince charming, and I'll take you to Daming." “

Such a naked confession pierced the thin layer of window paper between the two, Princess Maria couldn't help but look up at Zheng Chenggong with affection, Zheng Chenggong also looked at Princess Maria affectionately, and the eyes of the two soon intertwined, the tighter and tighter they were entangled, the tighter they were entangled.

It is about 1,200 miles from the mouth of the Guadiana River to Madrid, and at the speed of the train at this time, it takes about two days, and in these two days, the relationship between Zheng Chenggong and Princess Maria has grown by leaps and bounds.

They would meet for breakfast together in the morning, look at the scenery close together during the day, and hug each other to look at the stars at night.

Anyway, Princess Maria also has an entourage, so why don't they stop it?

Of course they won't stop it, they got a secret order from His Majesty the King before they came, and they had to find a way to match these two people, now it's okay, they don't need to match, the two people have already stuck together, the task is completed, they can't be happy, how can they stop it!

Happy days are always short-lived, and sweet journeys always come to an end, and two days later, the train finally arrived in Madrid, and Zheng Chenggong had to reluctantly leave the carriage with Princess Maria.

Before he came, he had only one task, which was to facilitate Spain's participation in the arms race between the two alliances, and now, he has one more task, which is to be Princess Maria's prince charming and bring her back to the Ming Dynasty!

However, the former one was given by the emperor, and the latter one was brought on by him.

Madrid's train station was not built in the city, because the city was already full of buildings, let alone a railway station, and the railway could not get in, so the railway from the mouth of the Guadiana River to Madrid went directly around to the east of Madrid, and was connected with the original Madrid-Valencia railway, sharing a railway station.

Zheng Chenggong didn't bring many people and horses this time, only 2,000 army elites, 2,000 navy elites, 1,000 Jinyi guard captains and more than a dozen Jinyi guard masters, and he didn't bring any of the army generals, and the only one who followed him was Xiao Jiucheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard sent by the emperor.

Xiao Jiucheng is to assist him in spying on intelligence and is responsible for protecting his safety, after the train entered the station, he did not let Zheng Chenggong get off first, but asked his masters to call all the 5,000 accompanying guards off the train, set up a team, and surrounded the entire platform tightly, to make sure that there was no problem, and then came to Zheng Chenggong, bowed down, and asked Zheng Chenggong to get off.

PS: I recommend the excellent work "The Road to the Overlord of the Mediterranean" by the cutting-edge writer Xin Haiyue 1, watching the protagonist travel to become Ferdinand I and lead the rise of Bulgaria, which is not to be missed by foreign history lovers.
