Chapter 194
Chapter 194
"I really can't believe that William would agree to let a Catholic Spanish nobleman be educated in the court of England." Queen Juana didn't get from Richard Cromwell until Jello arrived at Whitehall Palace soon. Learned that Charles V was going to foster his illegitimate son in England.
Johanna followed the irritable Queen Juana, and grabbed the mistress' wrist before the latter was about to open the door to the king's office.
"Your Majesty, everyone is here. Is it appropriate for you to tell His Majesty the King now?" Johanna knew that it would not be an easy task to calm down Queen Juana, but she could not watch Queen Juana fight with William because of this incident. The third generation had great contradictions.
Queen Juana, who was persuaded by Johanna to go back, supported the small coffee table as a decoration with one hand, and covered her abdomen with the other hand, trying to relax her shortness of breath as much as possible, and said profusely in sweat: "You are right, I can't tear down William's steps at this time."
"Did you tighten your girdle again?" Johanna saw Queen Juana's shortness of breath and irritable appearance, quickly took a fan, threw some fresh air on Queen Juana's face, and then pulled it away. Queen Juana's girdle allowed her to breathe: "Didn't His Majesty tell you to throw away these tormenting things? Why are you still using them secretly?"
As we all know, William III has stated in public more than once that corsets are the most disgusting invention, and there is no one, especially those deformed figures caused by long-term corsets. The man who got it was either a pervert or an aesthetic deformity.
Under such circumstances, the British court gradually abandoned whale bones and iron girdles, and instead used horse clips to tighten the wide clothes, making them more fitting and showing the figure.
Facing Johanna's reprimand, Queen Juana also said very guilty: "If it wasn't for image considerations, I wouldn't suffer this crime."
The current Queen Juana is also in her late thirties, even though she, like William III, pays attention to maintenance and exercises regularly.But she is the mother of three children after all, so the years will inevitably leave marks on her.
"I can't let others see a fat queen sitting on the throne, and then stuff the throne like a broken straw basket full of potatoes." Queen Juana thought of Henry VIII in his later years, and it was hard to imagine that she would be so fat Situations where support is needed.
After hearing Queen Juana's complaints and worries, Johanna was naturally distressed and helpless.
It is true that she can also comfort Queen Juana in various ways.For example, attribute weight gain to the inevitable trend of aging, or think that the queen is also an ordinary woman and does not need to treat herself so harshly to relieve Queen Juana's pressure.
However, Johanna knew better that Queen Juana would not accept this comfort.
Because Queen Juana is the queen, the image representative and spiritual leader of a country, she will never allow herself to be disrespectful. This is also the confidence that Queen Juana can strictly educate her children-only she opened the Only by doing a good job can the children obey the mother's arrangement.
"Anyway, for the sake of your health, I'll keep things like girdles for you first." Johanna changed Queen Juana's clothes involuntarily, and cleaned Queen Juana's closet by the way to make sure she didn't Hidden girdle.
After Queen Juana breathed a sigh of relief, Richard Cromwell knocked on the door of the Queen's bedroom, and saluted Queen Juana: "Your Majesty the King invites you to meet Jeromin of Spain... That is, the illegitimate son of the Roman emperor."
Queen Juana and Johanna looked at each other, knowing that the time had come.
"Your Majesty the King, on behalf of the Emperor of Rome and the King of Spain, I would like to send you the blessings of God." Jeromin was only one year younger than the Duke of Richmond, but he was about the same size as the Duke of Richmond Well, because he has a pair of slender parents, he also perfectly avoided the big Habsburg chin, and his handsome face is as good as the Duke of Richmond.
It's just that compared to the blond Duke of Richmond, the dark-haired and blue-eyed Jelomin doesn't have the kind of burning and handsome, but is full of affinity, which also exaggerates his good looks to a certain extent. .
Even Queen Juana, who was full of opinions about Spain, had to admit that the youngest son of Charles V was indeed a rare and handsome boy, and it was even a pity that he was only the illegitimate son of Charles V.Otherwise, with such a bearing and appearance, not to mention all the princesses in Europe can be chosen by him, but he will definitely not be like ordinary royal family children, worrying about getting married.
"Thank you for bringing the sincere blessings of the Emperor of Rome and the King of Spain, and I also assure you that during the time you live in England, I will protect you as the King of England and treat you as my own son That way, treat you." William III had a scene with Jeromin, and then looked at Queen Juana.
After receiving William III's gaze, the latter also said kindly to Jeromin: "Welcome to England, and I hope you can spend a good time here."
In response, Jelomin tipped his hat.Because he knew that Juana of Belgium was a Calvinist who was very disgusted with Catholics, so he adopted the strategy of talking less and saluting more to avoid confrontation with Juana of Belgium.
After all, this is England, and William III would never leave his wife unbiased and run to favor a cousin he didn't know well.
"Are you sure that Alexander can have a common language with Jelomin?" Queen Juana was not as scary as Jelomin thought, because in her capacity, she couldn't be serious with children.
William III felt that it would be beneficial and harmless for the Duke of Richmond to get in touch with his peers more.
Besides, with Francis Walsingham watching over him, William III was not afraid that his son would be led astray by Jeromin.
"It doesn't matter whether there is a common language or not. The important thing is to let Alexander get in touch with foreign envoys from now on and learn how to arrange reception ceremonies that meet his status." William III changed his way of looking at things: "And Queen Mary also needs a person who can exercise herself. Chances are, she and Alexander will be the twin kings of the next vast territory, so the actual operation chance is better than the guidance of a regiment's famous teacher."
Queen Juana thought about William III's explanation carefully, and felt that it was not unreasonable.
Because the childhood of the two of them was spent in constant attempts.
William III took over Wales at the age of six, and began to take care of his own private property at the age of seven.
And Queen Juana, as a former heiress, would not have raised a daughter who had the courage to cross the English Channel if it hadn't been for the ten years of exercise by Enrique II.
only……
"I am very worried that Alexander will have conflicts with Mary over the reception." It is said that knowing the child is like the mother.
Queen Juana must know better than William III the children and what kind of character they are.
In contrast, William III was not as worried as Queen Juana.It may be because men are naturally careless in this respect. William III felt that it was normal for his son and daughter-in-law to have friction in life: "Which couple has no conflicts? The key is that after conflicts arise, How to solve these existing problems."
After all, William III also gave an example: "Even if it is an old couple like us, it does not mean that we will be able to have a good feng shui in our future life. It can only be said that parents try their best to pave the way for their children, and the rest It depends on how they go."
