My British Empire

Chapter 13 The Marriage of Catherine Parr

Edward stayed up all night, and then told Lucy not to disturb him, and he had to catch up on sleep, because he felt that his body was still weak, and he couldn't hurt himself too much for his little brother.

Lucy also fulfilled her responsibility very well, she stopped being naughty as usual, and began to help Edward undress.

When Edward lay on the bed, he couldn't stand the fatigue anymore, and slowly closed his eyes.

Lucy helped Edward cover the goose down quilt, and closed the door lightly. Lucy knew that Edward should not make any noise before going to bed, otherwise he would not be able to fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took Edward to feel his neck was sore, his brain was dizzy, and his mouth was thirsty like hell. I can only get up in a daze.

"Lucy! Lucy! Pour me a glass of water." The first thing Edward did after waking up was to call Lucy for water.

And Lucy didn't let Edward down. After a while, footsteps came, and Lucy brought a glass of warm water to Edward's mouth, and Edward drank it in big gulps.

After drinking a large glass of water, Edward breathed a sigh of relief and hiccupped. His whole body felt happy, and the fatigue from staying up late disappeared without a trace.

"Your Majesty! You know that you are not in good health, so don't stay up all night. You don't know how much we worry about you!" Lucy said with concern while helping Edward dress.

Edward knew that his physical condition was not good, and he was also in the wrong, so he couldn't make any arguments, so he had no choice but to raise his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Okay! I surrender. Sister Lucy is right. I will try not to stay up late in the future!"

"Hehe!" Lucy laughed at Edward's tired look, "Your Majesty, when you fell asleep, Princess Mary, Princess Elizabeth, and Queen Catherine all came to see you!"

"What? The sisters and the queen mother are here!" "Well, the Duke of Somerset also sent people to greet you! Archbishop Cranmer, the Earl of Walkerley... all sent people to greet you Case."

Edward did not expect that he would attract almost everyone's attention after sleeping.

Edward has not yet adjusted to his identity, even though he currently has no rights, but he now represents England and Wales, as well as Ireland, which is not very obedient, and his every move is eye-catching.

Just now, after hearing that Edward had woken up, the sixteen regents outside Windsor Castle heaved a sigh of relief.

Because if there is any accident for Edward, it is expected that Princess Mary will ascend the throne, and there is no need for the Regency Council to exist, and they will no longer act as kings.

Before Edward could catch his breath, he saw a gust of wind blowing in, and a figure hugged him tightly, strangling Edward so much that he couldn't speak.

Needless to say, Edward knew it was Elizabeth, and the helpless Edward could only remind Lucy with his eyes.

Seeing this, Lucy immediately understood and said to Elizabeth: "Your Highness, please release His Majesty the King, he is almost out of breath!"

Lucy's hint was very effective. Elizabeth yelled, let go of Edward, and looked down at her feet with a flushed face.

Edward took this opportunity to take a big breath of fresh air, and Elizabeth lowered her head even more seeing this.

"Isa! Don't be so reckless in the future, you have to look like a princess!" Edward took this opportunity to teach Princess Elizabeth a lesson, and Elizabeth bowed her head in embarrassment, without saying a word.

Edward was very satisfied with Elizabeth's obedience, and he couldn't help feeling proud. But such a happy time didn't last long, and Elizabeth returned to her original state.

"Hey! Edward, you have taught your sister a lesson, do you know that enough is enough?" "Yes! Yes! I understand, I understand!" Facing Elizabeth who had recovered her combat power, Edward could only back down.

Edward's concession obviously worked, and Elizabeth gave Edward a proud look, looking extraordinarily cute. Seeing that Edward was fine, he turned around, shook his beautiful long blond hair, and hopped out of the bedroom door on moccasin boots.

"Oh! I almost forgot. After you woke up, Catherine said that she had something to discuss with you!" When Elizabeth was about to leave, she suddenly dropped such a sentence that made Edward puzzled.

Edward can't care so much now, the most urgent thing is to fill his stomach.

Half an hour later, Edward took his little maid Lucy to Queen Catherine's bedroom.

Along the way, Edward thought about Queen Catherine's life experience, and wondered what she would do to him if she had nothing to do!

In 1529, aged 17, Catherine married Edward Beau, 2nd Baron Borough of Gainsborough. Edward died in the spring of 1532. Catherine Parr married John Neville, 3rd Baron Latimer of Snape, North Yorkshire in 1534. In 1536, during the Pilgrimage of Mercy, Catherine was taken hostage by northern rebels along with her two stepchildren. John Neville died in 1543.

At the home of Princess Mary, daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon (later Mary I), Catherine Parr caught the King's attention. After the death of her second husband, the wealthy widow developed an affair with Thomas Seymour, 1st Baron Seymour of Sudeley, brother of Queen Jane Seymour.

But the king liked her very much, and she had to accept the king's love.

According to history, is it possible that she and Edward's cheap second uncle, Thomas Seymour, have rekindled their old relationship, eh! definitely is!

Edward and Lucy arrived at Whitehall Palace together, "Boom, boom, boom!" Lucy went forward and knocked on the door.

Soon a curvaceous maid came out and led Edward into the bedroom, and suddenly a sense of wealth and grandeur came over his face, which made Edward very unaccustomed.

Because Edward felt that he was already the king of England, Wales, and Ireland, and he was too noble, and no matter how well he decorated, he couldn't go any further. On the contrary, the simple decoration is more realistic.

In fact, Edward's idea was wrong at this time. During Henry VIII's time, a French envoy visited England. Henry VIII received the envoy in gold and silver because of the money of the Reformation.

As a result, after the envoy returned to France, he lavishly praised England, calling it a civilized country and a civilized country. Yes, the former continental European countries have always regarded England as a barbarian country and uncivilized.

From this we can see how far people worshiped money at that time.

Edward can't control her either, because the queen can use her dowry at will.

With a respectful heart, Edward met Queen Catherine, while the little maid Lucy had already stayed outside the door.

The queen's face is very delicate, which is different from the roughness of Westerners, and her figure is not out of shape, and there is a touch of extravagance. No wonder Edward's cheap second uncle still likes her.

She was hesitant to speak, but after a while she seemed to have made up her mind, and said shyly, "Edward! I've decided to marry your uncle Thomas Seymour!"
