Chapter XXIII The Duke of France
Just as Zhu Cijing was accompanying Princess Anna and Qin Mingyue to pick up clothes, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the workshop. Dozens of strong soldiers surrounded a middle-aged man dressed in a nobleman in his thirties and rode a horse and ran to the garment workshop where Zhu Cijing and the others were.
After the group of people came outside the garment workshop, they all turned over and jumped off their horses. The dozens of strong soldiers quickly led the horses in two rows, standing neatly opposite the Jinyiwei and the East Factory masters. At this time, Wang Zhengnan happened to come out of the inside. When he saw these people, he couldn't help but frown. It seemed that there was no hostility to go up and drive them away. It seemed a bit unreasonable. After all, this place was Spain, not the Ming Dynasty.
He hesitated for a moment, immediately turned around and ran back, ran to the gate of the women's clothing area, and said aloud: "Your Majesty, a middle-aged man dressed in a noble came outside, and he also brought forty or fifty guards. He seemed to want to come in, should the empress dowager drive them away?"
Before Zhu Cijiong could answer, a half-baked Spanish shout suddenly sounded outside: "Cousin, cousin, where are you?"
The middle-aged man who looked like a noble actually walked in behind Wang Zhengnan. If it were in the Ming Dynasty, this guy would definitely be kicked out by Cao Huachun at the door as soon as he entered the door. But this was Spain, and Zhu Cijiu had not spoken yet, so Cao Huachun did not take action immediately.
Although Zhu Cijing's Spanish is not very good, my cousin still understands this sentence. What does it have to do with him when he comes to find a cousin? He said to Wang Zhengnan outside: "He is here to find someone, don't worry about him, just don't let his guards break in."
The middle-aged nobleman who came in didn't know if he had no brains or something, he turned a blind eye to Cao Huachun, Wang Zhengnan and others, and found it inside. After searching for the guy, he finally found the women's clothing area. However, Qin Mingyue and Princess Anna happened to go in and change their clothes, so when he ran in, he only saw Zhu Cijiong and Selena. He couldn't help but say "Huh" and then pointed at Selena and asked, "Where is my cousin?"
Selena was startled. When she saw that this guy was dressed as a nobleman, and he was a superior nobleman, she didn't dare to offend him, but who was his cousin and couldn't answer. She had to ask carefully: "May I ask, who is your cousin?"
This guy raised his head and said proudly: "It's your Princess Anna!"
Damn, it is Princess Anna's cousin, relative. Zhu Cijiu quickly stood up and prepared to say hello. At this time, Princess Anna happened to come out. When she saw the guy at the door, she immediately screamed in fear, ran behind Zhu Cijiu and hid.
This was a mess. Princess Anna's scream alarmed almost everyone. First, Qin Mingyue rushed out of the fitting room with a whoosh, and then Wang Zhengnan's anxious voice sounded at the door: "Master, what's wrong? Do you want Weichen to come in?"
The guy at the door originally wanted to open his arms to give Princess Anna a warm hug, but was shocked by the scream and was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Cijing couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong, Anna, isn't this your cousin?"
Princess Anna said tremblingly: "He is not my cousin..."
When Zhu Cijiong heard this, his face turned cold. He was about to call Wang Zhengnan in to drag the guy out. Princess Anna took a breath and continued: "He is the husband of my cousin Margaret."
Zhu Cijiong, the word "Wang" has reached his throat. He was choked to death after hearing the wrong words. How could he not breathe heavily when he spoke? He still had a relative relationship with you for a long time!
He coughed a few times and continued to ask, "Then why are you so afraid of him?"
Princess Anna immediately said in horror: "He used to tease me, but he liked to touch me!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Cijiong's face, which had just calmed down, immediately became cold again. He dared to tease my imperial concubine!
He asked coldly: "What is this guy's identity?"
Princess Anna said worriedly: "He is the younger brother of King Louis XIII of France and my aunt Elizabeth, Gaston, Duke of Orleans!"
Is the French royal family here for peace talks?
Zhu Cijiong's head was running wildly, and a bold plan or conspiracy gradually took shape in his mind.
At this moment, Gaston finally came to his senses. He looked at Zhu Cijiu, his eyes rolled, and he asked with a smile: "Cousin, this kid is so handsome, can't he be the slutty guy you raise?"
Of course he knew that this was the emperor of an empire in the Far East, but he didn't know that this was the emperor of the Ming Empire, nor how powerful the Ming Dynasty was. This guy was a famous waste in history. He knew that he was living a life of wine and food, looking for flowers and willows, and basically didn't know anything else. His brother, King Louis XIII, had a headache when he saw him.
In his eyes, except for the continent, other places are wilderness. These backward barbarians are the targets of their colonies. A barbarian emperor of the Far Eastern Empire is nothing. He said this on purpose to humiliate this barbarian emperor!
However, his Western language is probably not very good. He was speechless and Zhu Cijing didn't understand.
Of course, Princess Anna understood it. She said angrily with a stern face: "Don't talk nonsense, this is His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, my husband."
The words "husband" seemed to stimulate Gaston, and his face turned twisted. She had been coveting this beautiful cousin for a long time. Originally, he was not qualified to compete with the Spanish king, so he just met and teased him, and he did not go to the Holy Roman Empire to propose marriage.
Now the Habsburg dynasty has been defeated by France. As the younger brother of the king of the victorious king, he already has this qualification. However, when he inquired, this beautiful cousin had already married an emperor of the Far East Empire!
Seeing that the swan that was about to be his mouth flew, how much resentment did you think he had.
After a while, he suppressed the resentment in his heart, and his face became more normal. After thinking about it, he actually smiled and said to Zhu Cijiong: "Can you speak French?"
He said this in French, so Zhu Cijing naturally couldn't understand it.
Seeing that Zhu Cijiu did not respond, he asked in English again: "Can you speak English?"
Zhu Cijing had already made plans in his mind, and actually replied with a smile: "It will be a little bit."
Gaston took out a bag from his arms, threw it on the table in front of Zhu Cijing, and continued to smile and said, "There are dozens of gold coins here, you can take it, go out, turn left, and walk about fifty meters. There are many beauties there. These gold coins are enough for you to play there for a few days, keep your cousin, and I have something to say to her!"
Damn, this is simply a naked humiliation, but unexpectedly, Zhu Cijiu did not get angry immediately, but said to the door: "Cao Huachun, bring in a box of gold coins."
Soon Cao Huachun walked in with a box of gold coins. Zhu Cijiu directly lifted the lid of the box, then picked up the box, slowly poured the gold coins at Gaston's feet, and said with a smile: "There are thousands of gold coins here, you can take it, go out, turn left, and walk about fifty meters. There are many beauties there. These gold coins are enough for you to play there for several months. If you have any words, go and tell the girls there, let you say enough!"
Upon hearing this, Gaston said coldly: "Do you know who I am?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Cijing said with a stern face and said coldly: "Do you know who I am?"
