Chapter 906 Selling the Princess
Sir Greenville thought about selling Princess Sophia to Chu Yun, making Britain and the powerful China a political marriage, which would be a great honor to the British royal family.

In the past, Charles I wanted to ask the powerful Spanish Empire to marry their princess, but the Spanish Empire did not allow it, so he had to ask King Louis XIII of France to marry his sister.

The European royal family never thought of marrying the emperor of the East, because the East is too far away and lacks a powerful country, so the benefits of marriage outweigh the losses for them.

But after Sir Greenville saw how powerful Huaxia was, he inevitably had the idea of ​​marriage.In addition, Chu Yun looked younger than Charles I, so it might not be impossible.Even as Sophia's princess, she might be able to replace Ella.

Thinking of this, Sir Greenville moved his mind.

"Your Highness, the Lord of the East knows everything, maybe you can learn a lot from him." Sir Greenville said to Princess Sophia.

"You are indeed very powerful, at least much stronger than my brother." Princess Sophia said while staring at Chu Yun.

In the eyes of Princess Sofia, Chu Yun is indeed much stronger than the marriage partners of many European royal families. Huaxia is larger than any other country in Europe, and Chu Yun is not like the Duke of Prussia, the King of Spain, etc., who even have difficulty communicating. , at least Chu Yun can speak strange English.

And the food here is really delicious...

"It's not easy for your brother Charlie." Chu Yun knew this poor king.

Charles I was executed by the capitalists of the parliament because of his fight with the parliament. He was also the first king in European history to be publicly executed.Chu Yun couldn't tell Princess Sophia about such things, otherwise Sophia would think he was cursing her brother.At least Chu Yun could tell that the relationship between the two siblings was good.

"My brother likes his armies and waging wars, he likes the arts, he's easygoing, prim. But he's lazy and has no sense of humour, and he's on bad terms with Parliament, merchants, and the Scottish Presbyterians. He's also very short of money, and he often Worrying about not having enough money to start a war, few people can understand him." When Princess Sophia talked about her brother, she spoke more.

"If there is a chance, I think I might be able to meet him." Chu Yun didn't know if his travel to this world would change the fate of Charles I.

For Chu Yun, it is obviously not a good choice for the parliament to execute Charles I according to the historical process. Charles I is easier to control than the parliament.

"My brother will be very happy to see you. It's a pity that China is too far away from us. He wants to stay in Britain to look after the Spaniards and the Netherlands. Originally, the Netherlands joined us to deal with the Spaniards, but they changed After becoming stronger, they drifted away from us and drove our fishing boats away from the North Sea fishing ground." Princess Sophia continued.

Unexpectedly, the princess who is so talkative is quite good. Sir Greenville is now wishing for Princess Sophia and Chu Yun to get closer.

"We can stay in the capital for an extra month or two." Selina said to Li Jinde who was on the side.

Li Jinde couldn't understand what Selina said, so he had to smile wryly.

Selina gestured anxiously: "I can stay in the capital for a while."

"Okay, let's talk about it after we leave here." Li Jinde only knew that Sarina was anxious to express something to him, but he would definitely not understand it for a while, so he gestured to her to say it later.

"This is the fan that Mr. Li gave me at the banquet held by my brother. It is said that there are authentic works of Chinese calligraphers and painters on it." After getting acquainted with Chu Yun, Princess Sophia excitedly unfolded Wen Zhengming's fan for Chu Yun to see.

"Wen Zhengming..." Chu Yun took the black-bone clay-gold fan, and he knew it was worth a lot at a glance.

Of the four talents in Wuzhong, Tang Yin is the most famous in later generations, followed by Wen Zhengming, Zhu Yunming, and Xu Zhenqing.

"Is the original owner of this fan famous? Just like Da Vinci and Raphael in the West?" Princess Sophia asked.

"It's hard to compare. But it is indeed a rare thing. Li Jinde gave it to you, so you should keep it well." Chu Yun looked at Wen Zhengming's fan, landscape ink painting, which will definitely become a priceless cultural relic in a few years. Even in this day and age are more precious.

Li Jinde saw Chu Yun looking at the gift he had given to the British royal family. Could it be that the military leader also likes such a fan?He couldn't help regretting that he didn't keep Wen Zhengming's fan and dedicate it to Chu Yun.But at that time, he never expected to have the opportunity to meet Chu Yun.

"My lord, when I came to the capital this time, I brought some Dahongpao from the Nine Dragon Caves of Wuyi Mountain. A mere gift is not enough to show respect." Li Jinde took out a small pot of tea leaves that he had prepared.

He was a little apprehensive, wondering if Chu Yun would be satisfied.

Selina didn't know the rarity of the Dahongpao in the Nine Dragons Nest. Seeing that Li Jinde had prepared such a little tea for Chu Yun, she couldn't help but worry about Li Jinde.

Chu Yun knew that there were only a few Dahongpao trees on the rock wall of Jiulongke, and the year with the largest tea production was only a few hundred grams.Regardless of the small amount, each gram is actually measured in taels of silver.

"This tea is too precious." Chu Yun rejected Li Jinde's kindness.

"Master, please accept it. If Mr. Master hadn't fully lifted the sea ban and wiped out the pirates along the southeast coast, I'm afraid Li Jinde wouldn't be here today." Li Jinde said.

Chu Yun still shook his head: "I plan to set up factories and warehouses in Britain. I want to appoint you to participate in this matter. If I accept your tea, people may misunderstand you. There will even be rumours.”

"Military Master... You plan to let me participate in European trade?!" Li Jinde was flattered to see that Chu Yun wanted to reuse him as a local businessman.

"You have been to Britain before, and you are familiar with the road. With your help, maybe we can take root there faster." Chu Yun said.

"I'm very willing to play such a role!" Li Jinde volunteered, and the opportunity to work for the Kyushu Army is something he can only wish for!

"But this tea..." Li Jinde knew that if Chu Yun planned to reuse him, it would not be appropriate to accept his gift at this time.

"I'll just take a small handful to make a pot of tea and share it with everyone on the spot." Chu Yun didn't want to make it too difficult for Li Jinde, so he asked Yu Cheng to take some tea leaves to make tea.

"Our British Majesty the King has also prepared a gift for you." Sir Greenville took out the wooden box that Charles I gave to Chu Yun.

A gift that Charles I prepared for himself?Chu Yun was a little curious about what it would be.
