Chapter 1611 Chaos and rumors

"Your Majesty, are you awake?!"

Before Sophia woke up, she heard the maid's rude knock on the door.

Sophia got up hastily and walked barefoot on the wool carpet towards the door.Unless something important happened, there would be absolutely no such hasty knocking on the door.

"Why are you in such a panic?" Sophia opened the bedroom door and found the maid looking hurried.

"My lord, he...he has arrived in Portsmouth!" the maid said hastily.

"What adult?" Sophia was puzzled. Is there anyone older than her in this kingdom?
"It's the little prince's father, he's visiting Europe!" the maid replied sharply.

"Father of the little prince, no way..." Sophia was obviously at a loss when she heard this, her tone was a little trembling, "It's really two or three years later, I... prepare my dress immediately!"

"Yes!" Several maids hurriedly dressed Sophia.

"Bring me my necklace." Sophia looked at herself in the silver mirror, feeling a little uneasy and unconfident.

The messenger from Portsmouth conveyed the news to the city of London, and the fleet was also traveling, and it might arrive in the city of London today.

Not only the palace was in chaos, but the whole city of London was in chaos.

Because of the messenger from Portsmouth, everyone knew that the ruler of the East was going to visit Europe, and the first stop was England!

The ambassadors of France, Spain, the Netherlands and other kingdoms showed incredible expressions when they heard the news.

They believed that, with the barrier of the sea, the deployment of the Eastern Empire's troops in Portsmouth had reached its limit. They never thought that the other party could come and go freely, and even high-level officials could come across the ocean!

"The English really had an affair with the Orientals, and immediately sent people to the Louvre to inform the king and the cardinal of this amazing news... No, wait a little longer, when the Eastern fleet arrives in the city of London, we will carefully observe it. scale, and then report to the Louvre!"

"The Orientals took away our spice business in the East Indies. Our Dutch East India Company fell into bankruptcy crisis, and countless shareholders suffered heavy losses. This time, the Orientals extended their hands to the mainland of Europe. This is the great crisis in Europe. , We must be careful to guard against them. If the other side intends to invade Europe like the Mongols and Turks, then Europe needs to deal with the Ottoman Empire and form a coalition force!"

"Report this matter to the king and duke of Madrid, and see if we can take advantage of the arrival of the Easterners to negotiate peace with France and the Netherlands. We have already had Portugal and other regions in Spain becoming independent, and the elite legions have been wiped out. Continuing to fight will only lead to It’s just cheap for outsiders, it’s better to take this opportunity to end the war with France decently.”

The ambassadors of the three most important countries, France, the Netherlands, and Spain have their own ideas. The first thing that comes to mind is to let the kingdoms of the European continent know the arrival of the Orientals as soon as possible so that they can respond quickly.

When the citizens of London heard that the Queen's husband was coming to visit, they didn't think so much about the future of the country. They focused more on the gossip and gossip between the two. They couldn't help but think of romance, after all, rumors Always the most popular, this kind of thing knows no borders.

"You heard what the nobles in this teahouse said, they were all talking about the military master! I didn't expect him to come to Xiyang in person. I don't know why. If it's just to meet the queen, it would be too much trouble It's gone." A Chinese businessman, wearing expensive silk, was talking with the teahouse shopkeeper at the counter of the teahouse.

"How could my lord lead a huge fleet to the Western Ocean just for one person? Every time he sends a warship to the Western Ocean, it is to escort the caravan and make up for the cost of sending the warship with the profit of the caravan. I guess this Once he makes a big move, at worst, he will escort a group of merchant ships from other than our Western Company." Said the shopkeeper of the teahouse.

"What you said is really possible. Old Wu, you have been here for several years to open a teahouse. When do you plan to return to your homeland? You have made enough money, right? Why don't you go back and enjoy family happiness?" the businessman asked.

"Money is endless. I have opened teahouses in five towns in England, and they are very popular. I really don't want to go back. I plan to take over my wife and children, and at least open 50 teahouses here. A teahouse is enough," said the shopkeeper.

News of Chu Yun's impending arrival, and the City of London's MPs, were among the most flustered of all.

They were summoned by the queen because of the expedition to the West Indies, passed the expedition proposal, and are preparing to deal with the Spaniards' revenge after they learn that the West Indies have been taken away.

At this time they learned that Chu Yun had appeared in Portsmouth with a huge fleet, and they had to be nervous at this time.

Although the Eastern Legion has repeatedly emphasized that they will remain neutral and not interfere in England's internal affairs, Chu Yun is a detached existence, and he can intervene in any matter related to Sophia through his identity as the queen's husband.

If possible, members of Congress hope that Chu Yun will never appear in England, and Sophia can maintain her independence just like Queen Elizabeth.

But Chu Yun's arrival this time made them realize that the other party might come across the sea at any time!

"Although Queen Sophia has signed the Bill of Rights, the East has always kept its word. He might encourage the Queen to abolish the Bill of Rights, which is not a good thing for us."

"The continental European countries have been suspecting that we England are in collusion with the Orientals in recent years. His arrival will confirm this suspicion. It is really worrying that our England may become the public enemy of all European kingdoms."

Representatives are worried about this matter.

Sophia dressed up early in the morning and hugged little Prince Henry in her own study in the palace.

"Your father is coming soon. You must let him give you a good name. We have too few names here. Before you, there are already eight Kings of England named Henry." Sophia Lifting the little prince up, he said excitedly.

Little Prince Henry stared at his dark brown eyes. He still didn't know what his father's arrival meant.

"Call me Daddy in Chinese?" Sophia said.

"Father..." The little prince Henry seemed to understand, and shouted immaturely.

However, Sophia waited all day, and there was still no trace of the fleet on the Thames.

"Your Majesty, that lord may not arrive until tomorrow, so go to bed first," said the maid.

Sophia got up early the next day, yawning from sleepiness.

This time Chu Yun's fleet actually arrived, with banners covering the sky, 70 galleons mighty and mighty, and the lead iron-clad ship was emitting black smoke!
