Chapter 1569 Half Eastern Blood

"Your Majesty, please don't continue to do this kind of risky behavior in the future. If something happens to you, how should we explain to the Lord?"

Sun Xu and other officers of the ironclad ship complained to Sophia about her reckless behavior after she recovered.

At this time, the fleet also successfully escaped from the sea storm at Cape Storm. A smaller sailboat was overturned by a big wave. Most of the sailors were rescued by other ships around, and a few sailors were permanently buried in the seabed.

The age of great navigation is so ruthless, when encountering storms, life and death are at the mercy of fate.

The fleet arrived at a stronghold called Cape Town and temporarily rested.

During the previous voyage, dozens of employees and prisoners were arranged to set up a supply station at the Cape of Storms. The supply station is relatively successful so far. They grow crops and hunt, and provide fresh water and food for passing ships. as a supplement.

Facing Sun Xu's accusation, Sophia didn't take it seriously, and almost focused on the baby in her arms: "Colonel Sun, you may not know, I have always been used to messing around."

"..." Sun Xu also heard a little bit that this Queen used to make trouble when she was still a princess. She set fire to the earl's beard, ran away from marriage, and demanded red envelopes from nobles. It seems not surprising that she would do such things.

This is a pain for him, the person in charge of the escort.

It was not only Sun Xu who felt tired, but also the envoys from England.

They were supposed to welcome Princess Sofia back to serve as queen this time, but now the result is good. The queen gave birth to a little prince halfway through, and the little prince still has black eyes. He probably doesn’t know how to report to the Parliament, England, and Scotland when he returns to England. According to the people of the family, will they accept the little prince with half oriental blood?
Everyone thought that if Queen Sophia returned to England without an heir, then Princess Anne, who was in Paris, could come back to inherit the throne depending on the situation.There is no need to think about other people now. According to the current situation, the queen has an eldest son. If the eldest son can grow up healthy, then he can naturally inherit Sophia and become the next king of the Stuart dynasty.

but……

It is unprecedented that the heir to the throne of a western kingdom has half oriental blood!
The English envoys all looked overwhelmed.Nor can they judge how such a fact will affect England, Scotland, and Ireland.

"The addition of new members to the royal family is undoubtedly a good thing for the sparsely populated royal family, but it is doubtful whether our people can accept the little prince..."

"What if the rulers of the East intervene in our war of succession? Will they annex our United Kingdom like the Habsburg dynasty?"

"King Charles thought badly back then and used Her Royal Highness Princess to marry the Eastern Consul. Now the worst thing has happened, which is really worrying."

Some conservative envoys felt a little overwhelmed by this result. They could not imagine how bad the succession issue of the United Kingdom would become after Princess Sophia abdicated. Will a Prince of East and West become King of the United Kingdom?

"No, I said, do we need to think about such issues? Queen Elizabeth and Queen Sophia came to the throne at about the same age. She ruled the United Kingdom for 45 years. When we need to consider candidates after Queen Sophia, we old guys have already Burying into the ground, this is not something we need to worry about at all." An open-minded envoy said suddenly at this time.

Many envoys nodded after hearing his words.At least when they were still alive, Queen Sophia, who had pure royal blood, was still on the throne.As for after death, who cares about the flood?

"Actually, the strength of the Eastern Empire is terrifying. The population of our United Kingdom is not as large as that of the newly occupied Eastern Province. If Queen Sophia's son succeeds to the throne, will it guarantee that our United Kingdom will be safe for the next hundred years?"

"The East does not have the same teachings as the Ottoman Empire, and it seems that it will not interfere with our freedom of belief."

Some envoys have more far-reaching considerations, and they are peeping into the corner of the future.

If it weren’t for the mission to the capital this time, they would think that the East is mostly similar to many colonies conquered by the Portuguese, but this mission changed their stereotypes, and they found that their own aristocratic system is not applicable here. , it was also difficult for them to classify Chu Yun as one of the common people.

Which commoner controls a powerful empire supported by four fleets that can rival the Royal Fleet?

The envoys had a meaningless argument. They came to ask Queen Sophia about her health, and at the same time saw the newborn little prince.

"His Royal Highness can be born in a storm, and he will be able to do everything in the future."

The envoys did not question the legitimacy of the little prince in front of Queen Sophia.

Now that the king's army has won the victory, the king still has the highest power. Only the collective protest of the parliament can threaten the king, and the king still has the power to dissolve the parliament.If they doubted the legitimacy of the little prince's identity in front of Queen Sophia, then it must be too long.

"According to the usual practice, after returning to England, he should have his own name. The minister suggested that the church should give him a name to prove that he is a member of the royal family recognized by God." An envoy suggested to Sophia.

Sophia looked at the black-eyed child in her arms, who had many oriental characteristics, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Indeed, if it is not recognized by the church, it is difficult to get the approval of the people.

In any case, superficial efforts must be done. When they arrive in England, they must find the church and let them take the lead in recognizing the little prince's legal status as a royal family.

"He should also have an oriental name. The surname is Chu, and the first name... we'll talk about it later." Sophia thought for a while, but she didn't know what to call this child, or wait until Chu Yun personally named him.

The English envoys looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Since the birth of this little prince, it is doomed that there will be cultural conflicts.

After the ship completed its replenishment at the Cape Town transfer station, they bid farewell to the employees of the supply station who were struggling to stay at the southernmost tip of the African continent, and continued to complete the voyage to England.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to England, the envoys of the British Mission couldn't imagine what kind of commotion Queen Sophia would cause when she returned to London with the little prince who had half oriental blood.
