Soon, the news of the proposal's approval soon reached Whitehall Palace, and then to Edward's ears.

After hearing this news, the corners of Edward's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, and the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly relaxed.

And Lucy, the little maid standing on the side, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

From the time he got up in the morning until now, His Majesty the King has always kept a straight face, and he looked like no one is approaching, not only the other servants, but even she, the personal maid, is also frightened, for fear that the king will lose his temper.

It's not a matter of saying that you can get a companion in front of the most powerful king of England, even if he is just a joke to get you to God, you have nothing to reason with.

Seeing that His Majesty's face was not good, the servants in the entire palace were extremely cautious, for fear of provoking His Majesty.

Therefore, the whole palace was quiet, unusually quiet, and even the only sound that could be heard was the chirping of birds outside the window.

Queen Mary and Queen Mary stayed in Windsor Castle and refused to come to London for all reasons, as did Princess Elizabeth and Princess Mary, who were at Windsor Castle at this time, leaving His Majesty alone at Whitehall House.

His Majesty's smile made Lucy feel much lighter on her shoulders, and the whole room was much brighter, and her mood relaxed.

Lucy bends over and smiles sweetly as she adds hot water to His Majesty's teacup, making a seductive tease in front of Edward.

Edward glanced at it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and when Lucy was done, he resumed his reading again.

Lucy did not realize that His Majesty had taken advantage of her, and at this time her heart was full of doubts.

The question of why His Majesty likes to drink tea Lucy studied it for a long time, and even tasted it herself, but it turned out that only a bitterness penetrated the tip of her tongue, and her whole mouth was filled with this green bitter taste.

This made Lucy regret in her heart, the smell was so painful, it was like poisonous water from hell.

This only made Lucy even more curious, and she couldn't understand why His Majesty liked to drink this.

As the saying goes, if something is good, it will be effective!

His Majesty loves to drink tea, and in order to have a good relationship with His Majesty, you must also do what he likes, and you must also learn to drink tea.

As a result, the nobles went to drink tea one after another, and the bitterness and sadness were simply indescribable.

Historically, the British liked to drink tea until the East India Company was established, and in order to better obtain benefits, the East India Company spent a lot of time and money to cultivate the habit of drinking tea in the British.

After hundreds of years, the British finally fell in love with tea, and afternoon tea became a British culture.

However, they also add milk and spices to their tea, and they never drink tea directly, which directly kills these nobles.

As a result, the price of honey in England has been soaring, making merchants a lot of money.

Of course, these Edwards didn't know, and he just wanted to shout in his heart at this time: England, I am finally going to conquer you

The largest type of tax in England is permanently in his hands, and the Lower Parliament has lost the greatest part of its taxing power.

The most essential part has been taken down, then, the rest is not enough, you can slowly fry and simmer, he is not in a hurry, this matter can be taken slowly.

It wasn't just Edward who was waiting for this result, but at this time, the essence of the Anglican sect in England, Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Anderson. Cranmer, too, was quietly waiting for the result at this time.

Bishop Thomas had never attended a meeting of the Privy Council since the Earl of Warwick had fallen from power, nor had he responded to Edward's call to the House of Lords.

Yes, the number of people in the House of Lords at this time is not prescribed, as long as His Majesty the King sees you in his eyes and sends you a call-up, you can participate in the House of Lords, so to speak, the House of Lords is basically the seal of the King, and as soon as the King needs anything, the House of Lords hastily passes this proposal, which is much faster than the House of Commons.

Not going to the House of Lords does not mean that Bishop Thomas is not interested in this council session.

The Archbishop of York, who is second only to the Archbishop of Canterbury, was also waiting quietly with Bishop Thomas.

He also did not go to the king's call-up this time, on the pretext that he was not in good health and could not serve the king.

As the two supreme powers of the Anglican sect, they are the largest bishops in the church when the king is not in charge.

Both of them were also the driving force behind the Reformation, and had been assisting the king in the Church in carrying out reforms.

They didn't know what kind of proposals were going on in the House of Commons, but their instincts told them that today was different.

Sure enough, the servant came with the news, and the most important one was - the grant was made permanent.

Hearing this, the two bishops could not help but be shocked, sat down in their chairs with bitter faces, and looked at each other.

"It seems that you are right, this King is really a different person from the previous king! What an eye-opener! ”

Bishop York looked older, with thinning hair, thick bags under his eyes, and age spots on his face that seemed to speak of his age.

He shook his head with a wry smile at the news, and said to Bishop Thomas.

"Yes! When he used the Earl of Warwick to get rid of the Duke of Somerset, and then took the opportunity to drive the Earl of Warwick out of the court, I thought he was another Henry VIII! ”

"And when I saw that he abolished the London Home Rule Council and established the London City Council, I understood that he was still different from the previous king!"

Bishop Thomas picked up the words, and also smiled helplessly, showing an unexpected expression, and sighed.

"Compared with the previous king, he has less self-respecting domineering, and more softness and compromise!"

The Archbishop of York let out a sigh of relief, looked in the direction of Whitehall House, and continued.

"If it were His Majesty Henry VIII, he would not give conditions in exchange, but would only use power and death to make the parliamentarians and gentlemen nod in agreement!"

Bishop Thomas recalled, comparing Henry VIII to his present situation.

"It is precisely seeing that this young majesty knows how to exchange and compromise, which makes the parliamentarians have expectations in their hearts, they understand that there are two if there is one!"

"It is possible to get these in this peaceful way today, and it is possible to get more tomorrow, after all, not everyone is not afraid of death!"

Bishop Thomas, hearing Bishop York's words, stood up, opened the half-concealed curtains, and bathed himself in sunlight.

"A new era in England has come, and I don't know if it will be going to death or being reborn!"
