Chapter 72 Fishing
"Cough! Cough! Gentlemen, I will now announce the results of this proposal!"
Baron Ross reminded the MPs who were still talking, glanced at them with presbyopic eyes, and then continued to read aloud.
"A total of 258 people participated in the vote for this proposal, which is in line with the bill voted by the House of Representatives!"
"Among them, 149 people voted against, 90 people voted in favor, and 19 people abstained from voting! Because more than half of the people opposed!"
After reading this, Baron Ross looked at the joyful nobles in front of him, and read aloud.
"So, now I declare that this parliamentary proposal on the merger agreement is vetoed, and no one or organization is allowed to sign this bill!"
"Even if signed, it has no legal significance, read by Chippa Bird Ross, declared on the twenty-fifth of September, 1547."
After the Speaker read out the decree, the nobles could no longer control their inner excitement, and embraced the familiar nobles around them.
After all, England has besieged the city of Edinburgh for a month, which is a scene that has never been seen in hundreds of years. Even though food came in continuously from the sea, the nobles and citizens in the city couldn't help but feel desperate.
"Your Majesty! There is news from the House of Representatives that the English motion has been rejected! The Scots have decided to stick with the English!"
The young maid hurried in, her tone full of joy. As Queen Mary's maid, she knew that Queen Mary had been paying attention to this matter.
At this time, the Queen Mother Mary was drinking black tea with various condiments, taking small sips, her movements full of aristocratic elegance.
"Emily! Don't panic! Take your time if you have something to say!" Queen Mary said very calmly, parting her red lips.
Queen Mary actually didn't want England and Scotland to merge. Although she, as the mother of Queen Mary, would not be in any danger, but rights were also missed for her.
Besides, she married with the expectation of her father and brother and the entrustment of the French royal family to maintain the alliance between Scotland and France and to hold back the English.
"Yes! Your Majesty the Queen Mother!" Emily said softly.
Here I have to say that the word Your Majesty could usually be used to refer to the king and queen in the 16th century at that time. It was not until the Elizabeth period that it slowly evolved into the proper title of the king.
"Okay, let's go down!" After listening to the maid's words, the Queen Mother Mary slowly cracked her smile, and she could see the amorous feelings of a mature woman at a glance, and her full **** were trembling, as if they were about to overflow.
At the same time, I don't know how many sighs and laughter came from Edinburgh.
Behind Windsor Castle, there is a pond, about half a mile in radius. By the pond, sitting behind a stake are two teenagers and a little loli wearing wreaths.
The two sat in front, holding a fishing rod tightly in each hand, but Edward's was bigger, while Mary's was smaller.
The two maids, Lucy and Kathy, were following behind them, and they were staring nervously at the water ahead, not daring to blink.
The same is true for little Mary, with her little hands tightly grasping the small fishing rod, her round eyes staring at her own fishing rod, her pink face tensed, her little lips pursed, full of seriousness, looking Very cute. And her beloved colored skirts were all dragged on the ground, stained with a little mud and grass, but she didn't notice it at all.
However, Edward touched his palm with a fishing rod casually, lying on the deck chair he instructed the carpenter to make, squinting his eyes, enjoying the rare sunny day in England.
"Ah! There are fish, little fish! Brother Edward..."
In a daze, Edward heard a cry of exclamation and a voice calling himself.
Gently opened his eyes, under the sunlight, only half of the eyelids could be opened, and this was enough for Edward to see what was going on.
I saw little Lolita bouncing around in the back, and Lucy and Kathy in the front were grabbing his fishing rod and pulling back non-stop, sweating profusely.
Edward realized that his fishing rod had caught a big fish, and he fell asleep without realizing it.
"Brother Edward, why are you asleep? Come on, we caught a big fish, and we can eat fish today! La la la!"
Little Mary saw Edward opened his eyes, shook Edward's arm happily, pursed her little lips, and looked at Edward reproachfully.
After a while, it seemed that the movements of Lucy and Kathy became more intense, and little Mary's attention turned to the front again.
"Sister Lucy, Aunt Casey! Come on! Make sure to bring up the little fish, no! Bring up the big fish!"
Little Mary clenched her fists tightly, her face flushed red, and she kept mumbling incessantly. Her tender body seemed to be full of strength at this moment.
"I'm here! Let me help you!" Edward rolled up his long sleeves, revealing his thin and white arms.
"Okay! Brother Edward, come and catch fish!" Little Mary clapped her hands happily, her little face was as red as a small apple, and she wanted to take a bite just looking at it.
After hearing the words, Edward stepped on the green grass, pulled the end of the fishing rod, and pulled it back vigorously. With his feet against the slippery mud, he fell back with his own weight and strength.
Edward also swayed from side to side from time to time, in order to exhaust the strength of this big fish.
In fact, this fish was beyond Edward's expectations. Even with Edward added, the three of them struggled for nearly ten minutes before they stopped.
"Come! Follow my slogan and mention it together!" Edward saw that the movement of the fishing rod became smaller and smaller, and he knew that this confrontation should come to an end.
"Pick up! Lift up! Lift up!" Edward called out hastily, and Lucy and Casey in front also lifted the fishing rod in cooperation.
"Bang—" A big fish that was more than a foot long was thrown on the grass, flapping its tail from time to time, and wanted to go back into the water.
"Wow! There are big fish, there are big fish!" Seeing the fish being thrown on the ground, little Mary ran over in a hurry, cheering and jumping for joy.
Edinburgh, English barracks, Duke Edward sat in a chair, listening to the message from the messenger.
"My lord duke! My master informs you that the regent, Earl Allen, has very cunningly transferred your proposal to the House of Representatives!"
"And you also know that the nobles are hostile to you and the English army. Not many people welcome you like my master!"
As the messenger spoke, he did not forget to praise his master.
"In the end, the proposal was rejected by the House of Representatives. My master asks you, do you have any other hints?"
The messenger looked at Duke Edward cautiously, and said softly.
"Well! I know, I have already expected this matter, let your master stop being active! Be careful to hide."
"Also, I think His Majesty the King will know about his contribution to our England!"
Duke Edward stroked his two mustaches with his left hand, and said in a thick voice.
After the messenger left, Earl Wellington asked involuntarily:
"Your Excellency, are you still going back to London as planned?"
"Of course, the reform of the holy religion must continue!"
