Archbishop Arnulf of Metz looked at the Englishwoman named Lisha, and then frowned, he came to Lisa, circled around her several times, and then said, "Sergio.
Prussiac said that the British royal family is all black hair and black eyes, and you keep saying that you are the daughter of the British emperor, so why are your eyes not black?
”yes, why aren't your pupils black, but brown?
Everyone, including Hildryk, looked at the English princess, hoping that she would give a reasonable answer.I saw the woman who called herself the English princess said in stumbling Latin, "What's so strange about this, my mother is from Normandy in Northern Europe, my father is a Seris, and my appearance follows my mother's ......"
When everyone heard this, it turned out to be a mixed-race child, and after hearing this, Cheldrick's heart moved, so this woman's princess identity should be real?
Is her mother a Normandy?
Oh my boy, when did those Vikings hook up with the British?
If this woman is really the daughter of the emperor, then if she marries him, won't she climb a thick backer?
In the future, if you want to unify the Franks, will you be able to get the help of this powerful British Empire?
Because this Lisa answered appropriately, everyone present thought that her status as a princess should be true, so everyone looked at the English princess with burning eyes.Wolwald was the first to react, and he asked Hildrik: "Your Majesty, please let me take this unfortunate English princess home and take care of her, and my kind lady will certainly give her the privilege of a guest of honor, so that she can enjoy the glory and wealth of our Frankish kingdom, and if she wishes to return to China in the future, I am willing to be the first Franco-British friendship envoy and personally escort her back to England." ”Hildrik greatly appreciated Woolwald's kindness, and immediately agreed to his request, and ordered his Chancellor of the Exchequer to allocate special funds for the expenses of the English princess, and stroked the English princess's head and said: "Son, this is your home now, and if there is any difficulty, please say it." ”When the news of the arrival of a princess from the Seris in Metz brought the whole city of Metz to a boil, and people rushed to tell each other about it, rushing to the house of Woolwald to see the English princess.Lady Amas, who usually loves to be in the limelight, now has more capital to show off, she bought the English princess the most fashionable clothes of the Frankish kingdom, the most colorful and dazzling court hat, the hat is full of precious flowers, and also bought a precious red lion-headed puppy, so that the English princess can lead it when she goes out.Every day, Mrs.
Amas and her husband proudly led the English princess in and out of the palace courtyard and the aristocratic manor, and there were countless admirers and melon-eating people behind them.Not to be outdone, other ministers and celebrities came to the banquet for the British princess with expensive gifts.To say that this British princess is really worthy of Her Royal Highness the princess of the British Empire, she is well-known for her gestures, smiles and smiles.Within a month, the English princess became a news figure in the whole Metz and even the whole of Ostracia, and even her fame spread to Paris, after the king of Paris, Clotaire II, after learning that a Cyris prince had fallen to Metz, also sent someone to try to pick up the English princess with Cyris blood, Clauderick, who had been at odds with Clothire II, immediately stopped Clothire II's attempt, joking, this Clotaire II was Clauderick's biggest enemy to unify Frank, How could he possibly let such a good bargaining chip as an English princess fall into his hands?
The arrival of the British princess made the people of the Frankish Kingdom proud to talk about Britain and praised Britain as a fashion, and the new round of British fever brought by the British princess was more extensive and prosperous than the British heat caused by the book "Prussian Travels to the East" from the Eastern Roman Empire.In the booming boom of the English princess in Metz, there are also a few people who privately express doubts about the identity of the British princess, but let alone Ostrasia, even if there is no second Englishman in the entire Frankish kingdom at this time, how can it verify its authenticity?
What, there were no Englishmen in the Frankish kingdom?
It's not that Li Lu encourages commerce, then British merchants should appear in the Franks, the reason why there is no English, this is for a reason, one is that Britain and the Kingdom of the Franks do not border, the two countries are separated by the Eastern Roman Empire, the Avar Empire, the Principality of Satsuma and many other large and small countries, these countries are not as mercantile as Li Lu, they all try their best to prevent British merchants from selling goods to the west, if the British open up the trade route, then how can they live as two dealers?
And the most important thing is that the Frankish kingdom at this time was desperately poor, far from being as prosperous and rich as the developed areas in Li Lu's life, at this time they had nothing except a little grain and some livestock, and they didn't have any gold and silver that the British liked, how could such a barren place get into the eyes of British merchants?
But the opportunity has finally come.Half a year after the English princess arrived in Mays, a priest named Pompidou, who had been to England in the Eastern Roman Empire, came to visit Metz, and he was greatly surprised when he heard about the English princess, so he went to the palace to meet the legendary British princess at the recommendation of a noble lady.As soon as they met, Pompidou asked in Chinese about the princess's condition when she was in Broken Leaves, and asked when the princess named Lisa planned to return to China.Unexpectedly, the princess could not understand a word when she replied to the priest, and the priest hurriedly said in Latin, "Please answer my question in Chinese, princess." ”The princess smiled slightly, and said in Latin, "What I just said is Chinese!"
Don't you understand?
I, an authentic princess who has lived in the Broken Leaf Palace for more than ten years, feel ridiculous about the lame Chinese you just said!
”Her rhetorical question made the priest blush, and he didn't know how to prove the truth for a while.None of the other people present knew Chinese, and they couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong.Lady Amas, however, was very dissatisfied with the priest, and said angrily: "Princess Lisa is my honored guest of Ostrasia, how dare you suspect her casually?
Did you see that she was very popular in Metz and no one paid attention to you when you came, and you became jealous and deliberately slandered our guests!
”Madame Amas's words made the priest so ashamed that he did not know what to say for a while.Suddenly, the priest slapped his forehead and said, "There you have!"
Madame, please all wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I get home and take samples. ”Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, the priest ran back panting with a few books, handed them to the princess, and said, "These are two of the most popular novels of the British people, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Gods". ”I saw the princess turning the pages and reading aloud with relish.After reading for a long time before he stopped, he said to Mrs.
Amas in stammering Latin: "I have read these two books well as a teenager, and it is not ridiculous that this priest should test me today?"
I wonder if this priest really understands Chinese characters?
”After saying that, he laughed at the priest.Madame Amas and her husband, Minister Vulvard, who had arrived at the news, glared at the priest angrily.The priest was taken aback when he saw this, and knew that he had met a master this time.The English princess had just taken the book down, but she read it aloud in an unknown language, and she bit back and said I don't understand Chinese, and there is no second person here who understands Chinese, even if I have a thousand mouths, I can't tell clearly, I can only tremble with anger, and point to the princess "You, you, you ......" for a long time, and I can't say why.When the onlookers saw the priest's angry and depraved appearance, they all burst out laughing.The next day, the news spread that the priest was jealous of the princess's self-defeating and humiliating reputation.At this time, the reputation of the English princess was even greater, and there was a long queue of people who visited and feasted on the English princess at Amas's house.Because of their effective hospitality to the English princess, the palace minister and his wife were rewarded by Hillerik as a special envoy for Franco-British friendship and a senior adviser to the newly established Franco-British Friendship Association, and their fame spread throughout Ostracia and even throughout Franks.
