Daming Military Empire

Chapter 238 The Fairy Living in Guanghan Palace

Will she marry the princess of the Habsburg dynasty?This problem really caused Zhu Cijiong a headache. From the perspective of political interests, he must marry. Spain and the Holy Roman Empire need allies like Ming, and Ming also needs great powers in Europe as allies, and marriage is the simplest and most direct alliance. method.

However, starting from his personal feelings, he didn't want to marry this princess, because he already had his own heart, and his queen was Qin Mingyue, which he had already decided when he was six years old!
Do you want this princess to be your concubine?This may be the only way. Political marriage is important, but from the perspective of modern people, personal feelings or love are the most important. It is almost impossible for him to sacrifice love for political interests.

Of course, there is a premise for all of this, that is, you must meet the princess first, maybe she will never agree to be a concubine at all, then you don’t have to think about anything, just send her back; or maybe the princess He looks like a dinosaur, so don't even think about it, fuck his political interests, if he has to face a dinosaur all day, he might as well not be the emperor!
Zhu Cijiong also spent a lot of time thinking about the location of the meeting. This is the representative of the European royal family. Although she is only a princess, who can guarantee that she will not become a queen in the future? There are many queens on the European side. It can be said that Daming has never received such a distinguished guest before, so he can't lose face in front of the Continental royal family.And it is very likely that this will be the last meeting. After the meeting, she will go back to Europe, so her impression of the Ming royal family will be fully reflected in this meeting. I underestimated the Ming royal family.

In the end, Zhu Cijiong decided to meet the princess of the Habsburg dynasty in the Huangji Hall!
Our Emperor Chongzheng is considering receiving this foreign princess, so how is this princess doing now?It can be said that in the past few months, Princess Anna has been very terrified and helpless. It is really helpless to stay away from Europe in order to escape the terrible marriage. As long as there is a little way, she will not choose to stay away from her homeland. He was just a 14-year-old child, so he left the arms of his parents and went away alone. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid.

However, the Ming Empire is really powerful. The voyage fleet consisting of a hundred super battleships and a giant treasure ship is already shocking enough. She did not expect to see another one of the same size after arriving in Daming. The fleet and more treasure ships were parked neatly near the port, just like an army waiting for inspection.

As soon as she landed, she was even more shocked. A huge city that could not be seen at a glance appeared in front of her. She swore that there was absolutely no such huge city in Europe. Could this be the imperial capital of the Ming Empire?

In the end, she made a mistake. This seemed to be just a large port city. After traveling for a day in an eight-carrier sedan that she had never sat in before, she came to the capital of the Ming Empire. giant city!

How powerful the Ming Empire is? No one in Europe can say clearly about this question. Conservative people think that the Ming Empire should be similar to the Spanish Empire, the former overlord of the European continent. Those who are said to have been to the Ming Empire are bragging that the Ming Empire is more All the countries in continental Europe are stronger together!Who should we trust? Before our little princess Anna came to Ming Dynasty, she could not be sure, but after she arrived in Ming Dynasty, she could at least be sure that those conservative people were wrong. How could there be so many super warships in Spain? With such a large city, the Ming Empire is definitely stronger than Spain.

After entering the capital city, it took another half a day to go round and round, and finally arrived at the place. What kind of fairyland is this? The continuous palace is looming among the green mountains and green waters. There are flowers and trees everywhere, and it is simply a super enlarged version. royal garden.What's even more exaggerated is that this 'garden', which is bigger than the Holy Roman Empire Palace, was actually built on an island in the middle of a lake!

She asked the accompanying maids in jerky Chinese, only to find out that this place is called 'Guanghan Palace', and it is really a garden-like palace, where the emperor of the Ming Empire rested while playing!
It wasn't until this moment that she felt that her choice was not wrong. No matter how the emperor of the Ming Empire looks like, and whether she can be favored by the emperor in the future, as long as she can live in this fairyland forever, even if she is alone forever , she is willing.

This Guanghan Palace is not a fiction, nor is it the Guanghan Palace on the moon. There was indeed such a palace in the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty on the Huxin Island in the north of Xiyuan, but The main hall collapsed in the sixth year of Wanli.

The stingy Emperor Wanli and Emperor Tianqi who only knew how to do carpentry would naturally not take care of the palace outside the Forbidden City, but our Emperor Chongzheng couldn't see the broken walls in the imperial city, and the palaces in the palace were all dilapidated , Isn't this a sign of the country's subjugation!So he ordered Guanghan Palace to be rebuilt. The original magnificent main hall is unnecessary, just change it into a livable palace. Guanghan Palace is the place where fairies live in legend, maybe he will bring immortals with him in the future My sister, Qin Mingyue, is going to stay for a while.

In the end, before Fairy Mingyue lived in, a foreign fairy came. Well, Zhu Cijiong didn’t know whether Princess Anna was round or flat at the moment, but she came from afar, and before her name was settled, she went to see her again. He couldn't live in the Forbidden City. The imperial city seemed to be the only place suitable for VIPs, so he could only arrange people there.

In the early morning of the next day, Princess Anna was preparing to take a tour in Guanghan Palace, when the eunuch's high-pitched communication voice suddenly came from outside, she could probably understand it in her poor Chinese, it seemed that His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had summoned her!
It was finally time to meet, and the time to decide her fate was approaching. She changed into the most solemn dress with a nervous mood, and surrounded by a group of court ladies and eunuchs, she sat in a sedan chair with eight carriages and headed to the legendary Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty. go.

The eunuchs, maids, and royal guards along the way all stunned her to the point of numbness. The emperor of the Ming Empire didn't know how many personal guards he had, and how many servants he had served, and she didn't know how big the palace was, anyway. The tall city walls pass through one after another, as if there is no end to it.

The sedan chair stopped outside the gate of Huangji, this was already the limit, if she hadn't been a distinguished guest, if she hadn't been a female family member, he might have to get off the sedan chair and walk by himself at the Meridian Gate, but she wasn't that lazy. It's okay to walk a few steps, at least that's what she thought when she got off the sedan chair.But when she entered the Meridian Gate, she was completely stunned. Such a wide square and such a huge palace really shocked her. The scale of this building has exceeded her cognition, and she even forgot to be nervous. Forgot to be shy, and just walked slowly towards the Huangji Hall under the guidance of the female officer.

Zhu Cijiong was also a little nervous at this time. He was really afraid of seeing a dinosaur. Even if it had an ordinary face, or even a little bit of beauty, he would find it difficult to accept it. This seemed to be a blind date doomed to fail. What about rejecting others?
When Princess Anna slowly walked into the Palace of the Emperor, Zhu Cijiong was completely stunned. How to describe the beauty of Princess Anna? I don’t know if you have seen an old movie called "Princess Sissi". Anyway, Zhu Cijiong has seen it Yes, this Princess Anna is simply the loli version of the goddess Audrey Hepburn, as if the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the birthplace of the Habsburg Dynasty, could this Princess Anna be the elder of Princess Sissi, but then Sissi Princess Sissi was played by Audrey Hepburn. Is she really similar to Princess Sissi in history?

Zhu Cijiong was completely lost. In his mind, the appearance of Princess Anna and the appearance of Princess Sissi in the movie were constantly intertwined. He couldn't tell whether he was in ancient times or modern times. Everything was like a dream, tumbling in his mind.
