In 1633 AD, on a certain day in November, the weather was fine and the wind direction was suitable. It was a good day to go sailing.[ ]

There is a lively scene at the Red Card Pier in Lingao, Hainan. The business negotiation group, blind date group and tourist group that has been struggling for a long time are finally about to set off. The means of transportation they booked is the Princess cruise ship - because Qiong Haijun not long ago

Many large Western ships were captured in the Battle of Luzon, which relieved the crisis of ship shortage. Therefore, this Western large sailing ship, which was the first to fall into the hands of the Qiong Navy, has been refitted recently, completely restoring its original appearance as a cruise ship.

, even more luxurious and magnificent than when she was named "Princess Anna" - as long as the interior of the cabin can meet the conditions, it is configured according to the living habits of modern people as much as possible. This includes space division, sanitation facilities, and ventilation and lighting.

etc., all of which have been transformed using modern technology mastered by the Travelers, or at least technology with modern concepts.

Around the hull and bulkheads, the exquisite carvings, murals, wooden reliefs and other decorative structures that were damaged in previous voyages and battles have also been restored according to their original styles. This aspect would have been difficult to achieve with the Qiong Navy's own craftsmen alone.

It's not that the local craftsmen are not good at craftsmanship, but that they have difficulty mastering the original Catholic and Italian post-Renaissance artistic styles on the Princess. But fortunately, the Joan Navy captured many carpenters and painters from the Spanish Navy this time, including

There are quite a few highly skilled people, and it was only after these people joined the renovation work that the designer's requirements were met.

This is also the first time that the Princess has been exhibited to the outside world after it was renovated. Therefore, not only the members of the tour group who were preparing to take the ship, but also many other people who came to see her off came on board to have a look. They were on the ship.

After admiring the murals, sculptures, and various cabins on the ship, no matter what other thoughts, everyone has a common feeling: it is so damn luxurious!

Even the original owner of the Princess, Ms. Anastasia de' Medici, was "shocked" when she first stepped into the cabin. This place is located at the stern of the ship and was originally used as a private lounge for the ship owner.

The large space has now been transformed into a large public restaurant and meeting hall, and a set of majestic large-scale murals are painted on the surrounding walls.

"You... how did you know about this painting?"

Anna almost cried on the spot when she looked at the mural - it turned out to be the huge masterpiece "Triumph" by the master of art Michelangelo on the wall of the famous Medici Palace Chapel in Florence, the residence of her Medici family!

It was actually completely copied by these oriental people!

"Ah, and this group of sculptures... have you even copied this?"

Anna turned around and saw two sets of statues on the pediments of the arches used to decorate both sides of the hall beside the fireplace in the front of the hall. They were actually the famous "Day", "Night", "Morning", and "Twilight" - the same

Four marble-decorated figures crafted by Michelangelo for the Medici family. However, these are just wood imitations on board. Of course, they are far less exquisite than the originals, but at least they are similar in appearance.

Anna leaned softly against the dining table, almost fainting - as a woman who has been away from home thousands of miles away, she suddenly saw these things again after many years.

Wang Chen, the art director in charge of the art part of this decoration work, secretly smiled to himself - this shows that our copycat level is pretty good! Brother, the drawings and models I sketched out based on a few art pictures on the computer are still very reliable.

land!

"Ah, Miss Anna, we feel that this ship is from the Medici family after all, so we will consider using more elements related to the Medici family when repairing it... Please forgive me if this causes you any discomfort."

Wang Chen pretended to apologize, and Anna calmly answered after calming down a little:

"No, it's nothing. I'm happy to feel the charm of my hometown again here."

…………

At the same time, on the other side of the cabin, Wang Jiaojiao and her personal assistant walked around in the rather dark corridor and finally found the accommodation cabin assigned to her.

"Hey... Room No. 12, Pisces Palace, I finally found it... I'm exhausted!"

Wang Jiaojiao took out the small copper key and opened the door. With some effort, she dragged her Hermès suitcase, which had not been used for many years, into the room. There was really no way to solve the darkness in the corridor, but the room was quite bright - there were new ones on the side bulkhead.

Many portholes are opened, and a large amount of sunlight pours in through the double-layer glass inlaid on them, making the lighting in this cabin no less than that of an ordinary hotel room.

The decoration in the room is as luxurious as the outside. A large number of Baroque-style reliefs and wood carvings fill every corner of the room. On the big bed in the center of the room, a large sapphire blue tent with golden tassels hangs like a waterfall.

, Wang Jiaojiao cheered and jumped on her, rolling on the bed several times.

"Hey, this bed is so comfortable. I don't want to move when I lie on it. Our cute bear's bedding is the best..."

While he was humming comfortably, there were two knocks on the door, and then Li Qihan pushed the door open and came in:

"Hey, Jiaojiao, have you all brought your luggage in? I was thinking of coming over quickly."

"You are a busy man, and you don't know when."

Wang Jiaojiao said coldly, she was the stronger one in the relationship between husband and wife, and Li Qihan had long been accustomed to this attitude. She laughed twice, took out a key, turned to hand it to the woman next to her and said

:

"Wu Shanggong, I am responsible for inspecting and accepting the equipment on the ship this time, but I really can't take care of it by myself. Could you please help me check if there is any damage to the equipment in the bathrooms of several nearby guest rooms? If so, please notify the equipment team immediately.

Make repairs before sailing. Also, take a look at your room - it's right next to No. 16."

Although she knew that the other party wanted to separate herself so that she could be alone with her wife, the female assistant was originally full of curiosity and wanted to look around. She immediately agreed and took the universal key to the nearby rooms.

After walking around, I opened the small door next to me and tried out the bathroom facilities one by one - the renovation of this cruise ship mainly focused on functionality. Each guest room is equipped with a bathroom, although this has resulted in a loss of

The passenger capacity has been reduced, but the quality of life has definitely been greatly improved.

This female assistant surnamed Wu has an unusual background. She was originally an over-age palace maid released from the Ming Dynasty Palace. When Qiong Haijun paid tribute to the emperor, she was sent to Hainan Island by Empress Zhou as a "return gift". Now she is in Lin.

She had a concurrent position as a teacher in a high school for girls, and was hired as a personal assistant by Wang Jiaojiao, with whom she had a close relationship - anyway, both jobs were easy.

She has lived in the palace for many years and even served as a female official in the Shang Gong Bureau. She has a very high vision and has always been very proud of it. However, since arriving in Hainan, this pride has been hit many times, especially

Being with Wang Jiaojiao, she saw many new things that she could not even dream of in the first half of her life. Logically speaking, she should be very calm now and consciously would not make a fuss no matter what she saw. However, it was still a big surprise to get on the boat this time.

be impacted.

"...Even if it is the queen's bedroom, it is probably not as good as a guest room on this ship."

After looking around for a while, this thought came to the mind of the female official Wu. This is no exaggeration. As an old man in the palace, she had been in the emperor's palace before. Whether it was Empress Zhang during the Apocalypse period or later Chongzhen.

The emperor's empress Zhou lived a rather simple life. The palace was said to be the most expensive in the world, and it looked magnificent on the outside. But in the eyes of those who lived in it, it was an old house that was hundreds of years old after all.

It is still made of wood, but after years of wind erosion and insect bites, only the outside remains shiny.

In contrast, these shorthairs don't seem to care much about appearance, but their requirements for actual quality of life are unimaginably high. The houses they build, whether they are residences or work areas, do not seem to care about appearance.

Luxury is just simple and elegant, but the layout of the house and the furniture and utensils inside are all extremely ingenious, and everything is practical.

Today, after seeing the twelve first-class cabins on the Princess, known as the "Twelve Palaces", Ms. Wu decided to delete her previous judgment that "short hair is not luxurious" from her comments -

- These people don't usually pursue luxury, but if they really want to be luxurious, they will definitely reach the pinnacle just like they do other things!

After walking around a few more rooms, I found Room 16 where I lived. It was a standard cabin, smaller in area than the first-class cabin named after the zodiac constellation, and the decoration was much simpler. It was a return to the short-haired habit.

In terms of pragmatism. After looking around, the face of the female officer Wu was still slightly red.

——I don’t know who had the bad idea (Wang Chen, a top student at the Academy of Fine Arts outside, sneezed several times), but many of the men and women painted on the wall are topless, and most of the portrait sculptures in front of the wall shelves are even

Not even an inch of hair! Fortunately, Ms. Wu spent a lot of time in Hainan and Luzon, and had many contacts with the Western nuns hired by the girls' school there. She knew that this was a Western custom, and the human body itself was regarded as a God-given beauty.

It's okay to just close the door and enjoy it alone occasionally - there are actually quite a lot of erotic pictures circulated privately by the eunuchs and maids in the palace, but how can they be displayed in such a grand manner in public? If this was in the countryside of the Ming Dynasty,

He was immersed in a pig cage a long time ago!

It's just that since the shorthairs don't care, she can't say much as a guest. At most, she can just keep her head down and don't look at any incest as she did when she came in with the Wang family girl just now. But she has to stay in this room for more than ten years.

The house of heaven must be decorated...

Ms. Wu took out a few pieces of clothing from her baggage and covered up everything in the room that she found to be an eyesore. Fortunately, this standard cabin was relatively simple and not full of sculptures and murals like the first-class cabin next door. With her,

The clothing I brought this time was still able to cover it up.

——After covering the sculpture of a child with a bow and arrow, wings, and a naked buttocks on the bedside, Miss Wu finally lay down on the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief. (To be continued. If
