Chapter 113 Do You Regret?
Chapter 113 Do You Regret?
The giant made a heroic declaration and acted immediately.
His Majesty signed the document agreeing to hold a national conference, and used the king's privilege to form a special court above the high court to bypass the new policy of conservative noble registration, which encouraged the main fighters.
But the king himself faced a severe test - he couldn't get out of bed in the morning.
The habit of running wild animals destroyed the natural rules in his body, and the large amount of alcohol and aphrodisiacs destroyed his physical perseverance.Although the main battle factions have thoughtfully postponed the meeting time to eleven o'clock in the morning, which means that His Majesty only needs to get up before ten o'clock - His Majesty does not need to go to Mass every day, which saves him a lot Time, but getting up at ten o'clock in the morning is still extremely painful for His Majesty.
"The most severe punishment is not so cruel." His Majesty complained in front of Grace several times.
Grace believes that His Majesty should not be punished for doing so much, but should be rewarded.
So at ten o'clock in the morning, Grace would climb onto His Majesty on time and kiss His Majesty's face, nose, ears and eyes.When he wakes His Majesty up, the two will roll around on the bed with their arms around each other, scratching each other's ticklish places.In this way, His Majesty would be completely asleep, and he could easily lift His Majesty up from the bed, and take him by the hand to lead him into the bathroom.His Majesty has no resistance to washing, because when he finishes washing, Grace will kiss his mouth in the way he taught.
"Reward Your Majesty." In this country, only Grace dared to say that.
His Majesty no longer has servants to comb his hair and dress him, he does these things himself now, because Grace always jokes that the nobles have two hands for nothing.
Fortunately, men's clothes, even noble men's clothes, are easier to wear.
Women's clothing is different.Even though Grace had done away with panniers, he couldn't dress like a lowly servant.Although that is convenient, it will embarrass His Majesty.
All decent dresses have straps that go through more than 20 holes in the back.Grace's arms were nimble enough to go around her back and tighten the straps; but he couldn't tie the knots well, and often they didn't, and sometimes they made dead knots, which was a big nuisance.
Eva used to help him with this, but now it's His Majesty.His Majesty will help him tighten the straps, saving him the trouble of stretching his arms behind his back.His Majesty also helped him to fasten the straps, and added a sash of wide ribbon around his waist, and tied it in a beautiful bow above his hips.
He could see that His Majesty enjoyed the process of serving people very much.
His Majesty also asked him if it was like this in ordinary citizens' homes. Before going out to work, the husband would tie the ribbons on his wife's skirt.
Grace was playing tricks on him, saying that women who couldn't afford a maid wouldn't let straps go down their backs, which was stupid.After saying this, he suddenly understood, saying that he finally understood the standard of fashion, which is to do whatever is impractical or inconvenient, so as to show that he doesn't feel bad about wasting money, and can afford a bunch of servants. And I don't have to do any work.
Speaking of this, they both laughed when they remembered what His Majesty said that day by the lake.
"Chris, why didn't your grandfather's Chancellor of the Exchequer let men make their clothes more troublesome? Should men wear skirts and wigs that high, so they would pay twice the tax?" Grace laughed at herself when she said that.
Chris also laughed, "Men still have to go out after all, they still have to ride horses and walk. If that kind of policy is enacted, it will cause resistance."
"Oh, women don't have to go out, and they have a good temper. They are not allowed to walk and don't protest. But ordinary women always have to work, and their skirts are always in the way... At least women should be allowed to wear a pair of underpants under their skirts!" Grid Lace pursed her lips.
His Majesty smiled and licked his downturned lips, "Are you upset because of this again? If you want to wear underpants, you can wear them..." He suddenly had a sudden impulse, "Grace, you can wear my clothes to the meeting today!"
"What!" Grace was taken aback by him.
His Majesty held his hand happily, "You hate wearing skirts, so wear pants. Those gentlemen who are active in the war will not talk too much. I also want to see what you look like in men's clothes." He said so Then, he dragged Grace to his own cloakroom, where his clothes were hung all over the room.
Your Majesty and Grace are about the same height, and neither of them is fat. Grace can definitely wear his clothes.But Grace suddenly became awkward, touched those clothes, and finally said: "Forget it, I feel... always feel a little awkward."
"Why? I remember that you love to wear my dressing gown." His Majesty was puzzled, "Don't you want to try men's clothes? Or do you not like these? Then I will have someone make you the color you want. "
"No, Chris..." Grace's face was very tangled, and she refused against her will, "Actually, I just hate those straps on the skirt. I like wearing your dressing gown because it has buttons on it... If you can put the straps on Just replace it with a button."
His Majesty laughed again, "What's the problem? I'll have someone make you some new sets with buttons. But actually, I really like these belts on your body." His Majesty put his arms around Grace's waist and wrapped his fingers around his waist "Every time I untie these knots with my own hands, it's like—"
"Open a gift?" Grace asked softly, "A woman's body is like a gift, and a woman can also be a gift, or a man like a woman, too..."
His Majesty supported his shoulders to keep the distance between the two of them, looked at him carefully, and suddenly changed the subject, "You are right just now, men deliberately make women dress as bulky as curtains. They are at home Watch out for your brothers, watch out for your allies and enemies outside, but not your wives and mistresses in bed. They make women spend two hours getting dressed, two hours getting their hair done, walking upstairs from bedroom It takes another two hours to go to the restaurant, so the day goes by and women don't have time to think about things that men don't want them to think about."
"If the wig is heavier, there will be less things in the mind, and the man will love her more, which is good for everyone. But there is also an unexpected disadvantage, that is, the wives are used to wearing wigs, and sometimes they can't bear it in bed. Excerpt. More than once I've heard guards complain to each other about how wigs interfere with their enjoyment and make postures uniform; "
Grace was amused by his obscene joke, "But there is one thing you said wrong. It takes at most half an hour for ladies and ladies to carry their skirts from the second floor to the first floor. There is no such heavy skirt in this world. A lady who can still walk for two hours—hey, am I being too mean when I say this, maybe there are also lovely ladies and young ladies... Chris, have you ever seen a lovely noble lady?"
His Majesty thought for a while and said, "The Queen used to be quite popular."
Grace suddenly became curious, "I heard that she is the daughter of the Queen Mother Margaret's brother - can I mention that name? Will it make you unhappy?"
"My mother's name? Of course you can mention it, I won't be unhappy, but let's not always mention her, it will spoil our fun... The queen is indeed my cousin. Sometimes I will be glad that I will not have children, Otherwise, who knows what incest monsters the two of us will create."
Grace's heart skipped a beat.Sometimes His Majesty will be like this, suddenly say something that makes him flustered, and people are not sure whether he is doing it on purpose or just this kind of expression habit.
His Majesty continued, "When the queen first came from Germany, she was not very good at speaking the language of our country. I became her language teacher, and we often took walks together at that time - I remembered that the queen could speak the language continuously. It took two hours. Maybe because she is German, she is dressed plainly and is in good health, so she can keep up with my speed."
"Maybe it's because she's in love with you." Grace couldn't help but say.
"Are you jealous?" His Majesty paused for a moment, and then asked happily, "Are you jealous that I used to walk with the queen?"
Grace was a little flustered again, and a little embarrassed, "Go ahead and talk about that just now."
His Majesty smiled happily, "There will be nothing after that... I want to kill the regent, but if I can't cause people's dissatisfaction, the queen will help me invite him to my bedroom. The queen was a little beautiful when she was young."
"Jeanly's Suzanne?" Grace asked.
"How smart! This is the story, the favorite story of the priests. People love to hear it and believe it. The queen has helped me a lot and doesn't mind meddling. Although she doesn't like to spend time on dressing up, but She likes to stay in the prayer room, making me think she is an obedient woman who will not do anything else... I used to really think she was the best wife, so I gave her a lot of freedom and respect."
"I never mind her having an affair with anyone. Even if she was not good at it at first and rumors spread, I just reminded her to be more cautious; I have never 'born' an illegitimate child, and the current two are both Girl...I used to think that if she had been a competent queen I would have made her 'beget' an heir when I was 30 - why don't you ask questions Grace you should have plenty by now Doubtful."
"...Princess Elizabeth and Princess Sophie..."
His Majesty laughed, "No wonder you are calmer than I imagined, so you have already guessed... Those two children don't look like me, do they? I have been struggling with this, their hair and eyes are the wrong color, But there was no way, Princess Elizabeth's mother - also called Elizabeth, was a friend of mine and she needed help."
"She was unfortunately pregnant when she was a young girl. That would be a great disgrace to the family, and even more catastrophic to her. It's ridiculous, isn't it? You can sleep with any man you want after you get married, of course you can before marriage, but If you get pregnant, it's over."
"Elizabeth wanted to go to a doctor who would take the fetus out of the mother, but it was too dangerous and I didn't want her to go. It happened that I was supposed to have a baby by then, so I took her into the palace. Sophie's mother is Elizabeth's friend, and she also encountered the same thing, so I also helped her."
"You're kind," Grace said.
"It's just that she was lucky, catching up with me when I was worrying about the rumor that 'the king is infertile'. But I have never let anyone 'give birth' to the crown prince, and even I myself don't understand why I am so cautious. "
"Now that I know, I was waiting for you, Grace, and my heir can only be thought of as conceived from your body."
His Majesty saw the expression of extreme surprise on Grace's face as he wished.He wrapped his arms around Grace's waist, and with his other hand covered his belly, just where the hem of the skirt began.
"You hate those big skirts, but at a certain time you have to be wronged, you have to show up in the biggest skirt every day. Have you ever noticed the women in the palace? Have you seen pregnant women in the palace? No, right That's another use for skirts. Women have their tricks too, making skirts go higher and higher at the waist, and all the legitimate and illegitimate children are hidden under the bustle."
"Grace, the crown prince of this country will also be hiding under your panniers."
"I know you once resented the Earl of Arundel for leaving you and me alone in that room. Although I don't trust him, I am grateful that he did that at that time, and..." His Majesty's hand fell from Grace's Belly moved away, took his hand.
Grace felt that His Majesty's fingers were cold, and he was stunned by what His Majesty said just now. It took a long time to realize that His Majesty was nervous, and at the same time realized that His Majesty hadn't spoken for a long time.He couldn't help looking up at His Majesty's face, "And what?"
"...And, I want to ask you, do you regret staying in that room with me? Do you regret not pushing me away?"
Grace was attracted by His Majesty's eyes, and he never understood why His Majesty always expressed such strong love for him.
He was embraced by His Majesty, and returned to the room where they first met, what a difficult question to answer!But Grace felt she couldn't lie to him.
He came out of that room, got into the carriage that left the mountain, came to the hat shop of Mr. and Mrs. Sharp, and came to the meeting room... In the meeting room, William and Allen were already sitting at the table, smiling at him , His Majesty stood beside him.
"I'm glad I was so timid at the time, and I was scared to the knees by you, Chris." He replied.
