My British Empire

Sir John stayed in Scotland for about a month, and then came back suddenly, which surprised Edward a little. Could it be that the Scottish Reformation was so fast?

In this regard, Sir John explained in this way: the Scottish nobles directly divided all the property of the Catholic Church before the start, and the income of His Majesty the King has been sorted out by him and roughly sorted out.

Edward couldn't help but think, compared with England, the nobles in Scotland are more powerful, and each noble has its own territory. There is no way to start the whole country like England, and the nobles can only do their own thing.

As for the success of the religious reform, Edward didn't have the slightest worry. Those nobles had long coveted the property of the Catholic Church. Now that they have such a big name, how can they hold back their hands.

Of course, the Catholic Church is not a vegetarian either. It has been accumulated for hundreds of years, and the power of the nobles is too scattered, and some nobles will even be defeated by the Catholic Church, forming a seesaw.

This is exactly what Edward wanted.

When the two fight each other, he will take advantage of it. This idea is not too beautiful.

When Sir John returned to London, Edward thought he might be of some use, and kept him with him for future use.

Sure enough, with the arrival of the Spanish envoy today, Sir John is the most suitable negotiator because he loves money and does not suffer losses.

I thought silently in my heart, but Edward's footsteps did not stop.

Behind her are beautiful and attractive female guards, Edward admires them as she walks, which is pleasing to the eye.

Should I build a beautiful guard army like the North African Emperor Kada, so that I can match my identity! An idea popped up in Edward's mind.

Edward wore wolf fur boots made of high-quality leather, with embroidered patterns on the surface. In London in July, the feet were not easy to get wet, and they were not stuffy, and they were a bit stiff when walking.

Edward slowly came to Princess Mary's exclusive room in Whitehall Palace.

At this time, the originally quiet room became lively at this time. Queen Mary, Princess Mary, Princess Elizabeth, and the married Queen Catherine stayed together at this time, competing for beauty. The scene was extremely pleasing to the eye.

I saw that Queen Catherine, who already had a daughter, was radiant at this time, with a loving smile on her face, and wearing a long skirt with lace skirts. Even in the past two years, her noble lady temperament still made people awe-inspiring.

At this time, Queen Catherine's ending was very different from that in history, and it was even infinitely better.

Originally, her life trajectory was that after marrying Edward's uncle Thomas Seymour, she died of puerperal fever after giving birth to a daughter named Mary Seymour in August 1548 last year.

But Edward's forgiving attitude made them get better sooner, and let them have a baby two months earlier.

Naturally, puerperal fever did not occur, and the mother and daughter were safe, but the daughter's name was still Mary Seymour.

Fate is so magical. Edward couldn't help sighing.

Walking into the room, the maid who guarded the door held up the corner of her skirt to salute, but she didn't mean to stop her.

But his arrival made the whole room lively.

"Catherine, it's been a long time. You're still so beautiful!" Edward saw Catherine sitting in the middle, with a smile on his lips, and said to her, bending slightly.

"Your Majesty—" Seeing His Majesty the King's arrival, everyone stood up and held up the corners of their skirts, bowing their knees forward to salute.

"You're welcome! We are all a family, so we don't need so much etiquette!" Edward nodded and smiled as he looked at the saluting crowd.

Edward's words are not wrong either. The Queen Mother Mary is his mother-in-law, and Catherine married his uncle and became his aunt. Not to mention Princess Mary and Princess Elizabeth, everyone in this room is a family.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look even more majestic and handsome. At first glance, I thought you were some handsome and heroic knight!" Catherine looked at the soaring king with delicate and healthy skin. Smiling and sighing.

"Catherine, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you get together often!" Edward found a seat and sat down, looking at the former queen with a full chest and a loving face, he couldn't help complaining.

"That's right! We haven't seen you for a long time!" Elizabeth, who was sitting on a chair with a ring of jewelry around her neck in a ladylike manner, now showed a lively temperament and said in a coquettish tone.

Princess Mary on the side also looked at the former queen with doubts.

Since Catherine married Henry VIII, it not only promoted the relationship between Princess Mary and Princess Elizabeth and Henry VIII, and even allowed them to officially enter the palace as princesses, but also continued to take care of them.

Elizabeth and Edward, who lacked maternal love, grew up under Catherine's upbringing, especially Princess Elizabeth, who almost regarded her as her own mother.

Regarding such inquiries, Catherine smiled helplessly, and said softly: "I also want to come and see you, but I really can't do without my daughter. She has been suffering from minor illnesses since she was born, so how can I rest assured?" Let's go!"

Princess Elizabeth and Princess Mary let her go, with sympathy in their eyes. In this era of high mortality rate, at any time, a child will leave, and being a parent is painful.

"Mary, the King of Spain sent someone to propose to me, saying that he wants you to marry Prince Philip!" Edward saw that the atmosphere was a little sad, and then changed the subject.

Hearing that the topic was suddenly brought up to her, and it was about marriage, Princess Mary couldn't help but blushed. She felt a little embarrassed in front of so many people.

The others also calmed down at this time, looking at Princess Mary with a smile on their lips, while Catherine and Princess Elizabeth hugged Princess Mary directly and teased her in her ear.

To everyone's surprise, Princess Mary just showed a faint smile, and said to his younger brother, the King of England, "What do you mean? Edward!"

Edward did not guess this sentence for a while, and weighed it up and said: "I think Prince Philip is not bad, the Habsburg family is relatively rich, and as the only son of Charles V, Prince Philip must inherit the throne, and Mary you will be queen too!"

Looking at his sister's bright eyes, Edward analyzed each word, and the others nodded. This is indeed a satisfying marriage.

"In that case, then I'll marry in Spain!" After listening to Princess Mary, she thought about it for a while, and felt that the marriage was okay. She didn't have to pick and choose at her age, as long as she was suitable.
