Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

On the south end of Lisbon city, near the prince enrique avenue, there is a small but quiet nun with a beautiful scenery, because it is located at the upper end of the estuary, and it can be seen from the low wall of the nun ’s courtyard You can also see the beautiful coastal scenery of the cliff of Cape Espiche, which is deep into the Atlantic Ocean, across the river from the busy ships on the River Tero.

The dean of this convent was originally a noble widow. After the death of her husband, the wealthy widow saw through the red dust and took all the property into the convent to live in seclusion. After the elderly dean died, the widow inherited the position of dean. Because of the wealth of assets, the life of the women ’s convent was not very hard, even because it is indeed a good place for quiet days. Many women who want to enter this convent are not well-known.

However, just a year ago, the convent made a small personnel change. The widow nun, who was the former dean, was sent to another monastery in the mainland to serve. This is not a relegation, because that The size and profit of the convent is much larger than that of this convent called the Compassionate Mary, and because the former dean of that convent is quite rare as the deputy dean of the province, So as long as no mistakes are made, it will not take long for the new convent president to continue in this position.

So this is definitely a good thing.

Succeeded the lucky convent to become the new dean of the Maria Conservatory of Mercy, Juana, Enrique's daughter, the former Princess of Castile and the heir to the throne.

For the reason why she suddenly wanted to become the dean of such a convent, Juana made her people explain to the king: "I am tired of the hustle and bustle of Lisbon, listening to the hawkers and smells of hawkers outside every day. I ca n’t even eat the smell of livestock droppings on the street. "

As for the suspicion that may cause Queen Mary, Juana simply defended, and she asked her people to say this to Manuel I: "If the queen suspects that I may be running or trying to fiddle with something. The trick is worried, so please give me a glass of poisonous wine, so that she does n’t have to distract me from staring at me all day, if not, please let me feel more comfortable, after all, I ca n’t make up for her mother. What is dangerous. "

Manuel I was a relatively soft king. He would be made a lucky manuel because it is almost entirely for him that what he has gained today is not prepared by him, but his predecessors have already prepared for him. He only needs to sit back and enjoy his success, so for such a king, sometimes he does not need much wisdom, so he did not think too much about Juana ’s request, or simply how to reply to this matter. To his wife.

Queen Maria immediately noticed this matter, and she had no affection for her cousin. If it was n’t because Juana was once the crown prince of Portugal after all, she had some relationship and influence among the nobility. The cousin was given a glass of fortified wine before going to bed.

So when she heard that Juana suddenly wanted to live in another place, she immediately sent someone to find out what tricks Anna wanted to play, but the people she sent were being tasted and tasted good, and invited to sleep on the famous Flower Street in Lisbon. After a few nights, Ladia, who was full of glittering gold in her pocket, went back and reported to the hostess: "Everything is normal, the woman is just tired of living now. She wants to change the environment. A nice manor, but her people also reminded her that you would never agree to her leaving Lisbon, so she chose the compassionate Maria Conservatory instead, and you can rest assured, because that There is a fortress with hundreds of soldiers not far from the convent, I believe that as long as the woman has a little wind and grass, she will not be held in front of you in a long time. "

Queen Mary, who got this answer, is at ease. She also knows that Juana should have been selfish with the passage of time. After all, do n’t say that in Castile, even in Portugal, there is no one who looks at her anymore. In addition to the title of a princess and a small group of loyal but loyal followers, Juana really has nothing.

Interestingly, not long after she was interested in this convent, the original widow dean left here because of an unexpected ascension, which made Queen Mary think it might be God's arrangement.

"Then as she wishes, I don't want people to say that I am a mean person, but she will be capricious this time, I hope that the convent will become her grave." Queen Mary agreed so. .

So Juana left the convent on the street of the Cathedral of Saint Grace where she had been staying for almost 20 years, and after gratitude to the king and queen, she moved into the Convent of Mercy.

And the barracks not far from the Maria Conservatory of Mercy also received an order issued by the queen, that is, to monitor this convent, if any suspicious characters appear, they must be investigated immediately, necessary At that time, the soldiers were allowed to enter the Nursing Home directly to arrest the suspicious characters.

The officer guarding the fort promised, and said that he would never let any suspicious person pass, and then waited for the messenger to leave, and then returned to his room to count the money he had just sent from Porto. .

Juana, who became the new female dean, quickly adapted to everything here. In fact, she did not enjoy the peaceful but peaceful life as she said, and her room in the monastery was carefully renovated. , And the dishes you enjoy every day are no different from where you are.

It ’s just that Juana is very patient, or that the only thing she has learned in these years is patience, because she has nothing but a lot of time.

So she waited quietly. She knew that whether it was to persuade the queen to send a spy or to take away the former female dean, all this was the work of the man named Tiego, and she can now succeed in this. " Waiting for someone in the "new home" is the one that Thiego showed her to prove their power.

This rejuvenated Juana ’s already dying heart, and she began to wonder if the words that the person said to her were really possible, although as long as she calmed down, she knew that the promises were not as reliable as the castle in the sky. But now seeing that these people actually placed her under Maria's eyelid in this much freer place, Juana can't help but want to get more.

The weather on the Atlantic coast was a little bit cooler in 1500, although it was still August, but after the hottest days passed, the weather became a lot cooler at once, especially after a few pleasant heavy rains, the refreshing climate Let the people suffering from the heat be overjoyed.

Juana ’s room is well ventilated. The cool breeze blowing from the river of Tero makes the room very comfortable. Sitting in a chair with low windowsill and looking at the view of the river and the opposite bank, Juana forgot for a moment. The troubles that have troubled her all the time.

Juanna has been in Portugal for a long time. Since her 17-year-old defeated Queen Isabella for the Castile throne, she had to be forced into exile in Lisbon's monastery in accordance with the agreement reached between Portugal and the Double Kings.

In the first few years, some of her followers had hoped that she would make a comeback, but as the days passed, many people were disappointed with her. They all left her for another future. Some began to serve Portugal, and some returned to China. She surrendered to her dead enemy Queen Isabella.

And Juana ’s life was pretty good at the beginning, but when Isabella helped her two daughters to the throne of Portugal, she had a hard time, especially when Mary married After arriving in Portugal, her cousin always tried her best to make life difficult for her, which made Juana doubt that maybe one day she was really impatient, and Maria might have poisoned her.

Just when Juana was worried about her future, she was helpless again, and that Tiego appeared, and then he brought a message that made Juana like a dream.

Awakened the pondering Juana with a sound of a door. She looked back and saw her maid walked in with a plate of joy.

"Ma'am, you should look at these, these are all good things," the maid carefully placed the plate on the table, opened the red velvet covered on it, revealing a string of colorful inlays on the same color cushions underneath Necklace of precious stones.

The gems on the necklace are very large. The rare thing is that each gem looks so crystal clear and free of flaws. Among them, a yellow agate stone in the middle reflects various The colorful colors like a rainbow make even Juana, who has seen a lot of strange treasures, have a flash of interest in her eyes.

"This is really a good thing, such a large gem can be said to be very expensive," Juana said, picking up the necklace carefully, and saw that the gold chain connecting each gem was also etched with complicated patterns. , She is more attracted to this rare treasure in front of her.

"Where did this come from?" Juana asked strangely. She knew that the necklace was expensive, so she would never be bought by the maid.

"It was sent by the businessman named Tiego, I heard that he had just returned to Lisbon today, but he immediately sent someone to send this. According to the attendant who sent the necklace, Tiego came from another This necklace was bought by a businessman named Modillo who just came from Africa, and I heard that there are many such good things in that person's hand, and some are even better than this. "

Juana's hand shook slightly, so that the necklace in her hand almost took off, a complex look mixed with surprise and panic flashed across her face, then she immediately forced herself to calm down, and then asked in a casual tone: "Actually There is something better than this necklace. Does n’t that person have been to the East? It is said that only India and those farther east have so many rare treasures. "

"Maybe, I heard that the merchants came from far away. The merchant named Modillo brought a lot of weird goods. It is said that he had a dress made of peacock feathers. It must drive any woman crazy. "The maid said with longing, she didn't notice that Juana hadn't listened to what was behind her. When the maid was still dreaming of the peacock-hair dress, Huanna's heart was Beating fiercely.

"If it's as you said, maybe I should meet that Thiegor, maybe I can still meet the businessman he said." Juana said deliberately in a careless tone, although she was relieved of her loyalty to the maids around. But this matter was too big and too dangerous for her, and even a little carelessness could endanger her life, so she decided to be as careful as possible.

"If you want to see him, I can let someone give you a letter. I can come to see you tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow." The maid was very enthusiastic, and from her unbearable look, it was obvious that she was thinking about those Clothes and gems from the East.

"Don't worry, just wait for your free time." Juana tried to suppress the irritability in her heart. She didn't know how many people Queen Mary sent to stare at her secretly, although she believed that the security of the past years had already let Mary She relaxed her surveillance, but once involved in any conspiracy, she couldn't help worrying that she might still be closely monitored.

The maid apparently could n’t understand Juana ’s anxiety and anxiety at the moment. She was full of those beautiful clothes and precious jewelry, so immediately after getting permission from the hostess, she could n’t wait to run out and send someone to give Thiego. The message, and the person who also urged the letter must let the Oriental businessman named Modillo also come.

Tiego ’s house in Lisbon is still the second floor of that humble shop, and now there are a group of wine merchants who have just come from Porto with him.

The message from Huanna ’s maid was quickly delivered. According to Thiego ’s reply, they would visit the wife of the female dean the next day.

"Please tell the wife of the dean, I will visit her with my friend Modillo, and I guarantee that the goods he brings will satisfy the wife of the dean."

Tiego made Juana sleepless overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, it had just rained the night before, and the air was still moist with grass.

Juanna got up very early, although she tried to remind herself not to show any signs, but she got out of bed and walked around the room because of the tension until the maid knocked on the door and came in.

Because of her special status, Juana may not even wear nun clothes. For example, when she lived in St. Joseph ’s castle for a long time, in addition to wearing a symbolic headscarf, she often walked in and out of the castle in a gorgeous skirt. , It's just that the floral decoration is slightly less public.

But today she put on a nun stock. The black nun dress made Juana, who had already entered middle age, look slightly old but dignified, especially when she was wearing a nun hat covering her forehead. A layer of indifference hung on it, and it seemed that at the same time, all her **** feelings were covered under the black and white cloth hat.

Tiego and the two came to the Benevolent Maria Convent after lunch. On the way, they had a slight delay. After finally confirming that no one was following, they went to the convent.

Obviously, as a convent man was easily denied entry, even Juana did n’t want to cause controversy because of breaking this rule casually. After all, Queen Mary may have no way to kill her, but if there is Opportunity to defame her reputation is not bad.

Juanna saw her guests in a house belonging to the monastery industry not far from the convent.

When she saw Alexander for the first time, Juana, who was still very calm, could not help but reveal a little surprise. She looked at Alexander's appearance, and then looked at his obvious blond hair. After a little deep thought, Juana There was a soft sigh that was difficult for others to detect.

But the maid standing aside apparently noticed the mistress of the hostess. She bent down slightly and asked the hostess what was wrong in Juana ’s ear, but what she got was nothing more than Juana ’s perplexity.

"Madam, we finally saw you," Tiego said in a casual tone, but Juana could understand the meaning from his eyes.

After she waited for Tiegow to bow to her ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ her eyes fell naturally on Alexander's face behind her, this time she could look at the young man carefully without concealment, although before She was surprised because of Alexander's appearance, but when she looked at it again, she still couldn't help but burst into surprise.

"Madam, this is my friend Joel Modillo, a businessman from Rome. I'm not bragging, he can fulfill all your wishes." Thiego looked at Juana with a deep look, then he retreated On one side, at the same time, I looked at the pair of "siblings" who were finally looking at each other in a complex and excited mood.

Everything that has been done for a long time, for the effort and all the effort spent at this moment, will finally have a result. Tiego tried to calm himself down and watched the scene before him, because he didn't know what this moment meant for the future, but he knew that from this time on, many people's fate would be completely changed.

"Please allow me to pay tribute to you, His Royal Highness Princess Juana de Rastarama." Alexander bowed his head to Juana.

'S maid next to her looked surprised. She wanted to stop the apparently troublesome title, but Juana stood up to stop her.

"So please accept my compliments," Juana bowed back solemnly, then she straightened her eyes and stared at Alexander "Master Duke of Rome Tesia, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
