Deep in the royal palace, a dressed-up fairy tale-like room, Princess Joanna and her sister Princess Catlinna helped Prince Alfonso on the horse, shaking and teasing, and the third brother seemed to have fun.

However, Princess Joanna's eyes could not be hidden, showing a strong sadness.

These days, she was really sad, because the little Duke Cromwell had been forcing her by all means.

She really didn’t want to marry the Duke of Cromwell Jr., because the man gave the impression that he was overbearing, vulgar and impolite, and self-righteous.

Although the marriage between the nobles was common, although England was now stronger than Portugal, and although the father of the Duke of Cromwell Jr. had taken control of the British power, she did not want to marry the little duke.

Her father, João IV, did not want to marry the little duke.

But the little Duke Cromwell haunted her, threatened her, threatened her father, and threatened Portugal, as if she did not agree, and the whole of Portugal was going to be finished!

And the shameless little duke had been pestering her, and had a gentleman in front of her, and at night the shameless little duke had unscrupulously bullied the lady in the palace, such a shameless man, who really did not know how to deal with it.

She could only hide everywhere, and try to hide from this shameless little duke, like today, as she had risen early in the morning, and under the cover of several housemaids she had fled to the room of her brother, Little Alfonso, and had her sister Caterina called, and she wanted to play with her younger brother and sister, and for a moment forgot her sorrow, but this sorrow had always been like a cloud, lingering in her heart.

When is this a head, can you really only marry this shameless little duke?

More than once she dreamed of a prince riding a white horse to rescue her, but after every waking up, she was faced with the nasty little duke, which made her have to wonder whether there was a handsome and righteous prince in the world?

Just as she fancied again about Prince Charming, there was a sudden commotion outside, and it seemed that someone was breaking into this room.

Did the little Duke Cromwell find himself again?

Princess Joanna was terrified, and she subconsciously picked up Little Alfonso, and took up Caterina's little hand, and was about to find a place to hide, but the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a handsome young man in armor walked in with a smile.

Not the Duke of Cromwell!

The young man was so tall and handsome, the smile was as warm as the spring breeze, and the eyes seemed as deep as a spring water.

Joanna was stunned, who was this, she had never seen before, but she could be sure that the young man was certainly not the little duke's, for his eyes were distinctly different from that of the English, and that he was the mysterious Oriental?

Zheng successfully looked at the three brothers and sisters, finally relieved, now the whole palace has been controlled by him, the British soldiers have been emptied by him, but just now he was really startled, because the two princesses are gone, their room is no one, and whether it is to ask the captive British soldiers, or to ask the lady in the royal palace, they do not know where the two princesses are going.

The two grandfathers were mainly missing, so it was troublesome, how he confessed to the master, and how to explain it to João IV!

Fortunately, all three brothers and sisters were in the room of Prince Alfonso.

Now he understood, I think the waiters are lying to him, probably, they all think they are bad people.

He put on the most gentle and amiable expression, came to the three brothers and sisters, caressed the chest and said: "Princess, Prince, I am the ally of the Great Ming Empire Nanyang Hou Shizi Zheng success."

The Great Empire!

This Far Eastern super-empire Joanna had naturally heard that her father had lamented in front of her more than once that if the Daming Empire was willing to help them, they would be fine in Portugal.

The nobles of the Daming Empire must have come to save themselves, this is the prince of the White Horse in their dreams.

Joanna looked at Zheng successfully and asked inexplicably, “Are you a prince?”

Zheng successfully looked at the beautiful princess with a confused head and then explained: "Princess, my father is only a marquis."

The princely son, the princelings, do not know when the title system began to pass on the mainland, in Daming, the Marquis's status is actually not high, because there are many dukes, and there are many royal princes and county kings, so there is a big gap between a marquis' son and a prince.

However, in the mainland, the marquis's status is not low, because there are few royal princes, basically the dukes have inheritance, such as João IV was only the Duke of Bragusa before he became king of Portugal, and it is normal for the marquis to have a vassal state, and it seems that the marquis's son can be called a prince, at least Joanna thinks so.

She thought about it and asked inexplicably, “Is your family’s felock?”

Family densification?

Our family did not have a fiend, at least not now, Zheng successfully is waiting to tell the truth, but, looking at Princess Joanna's look forward to the expression, he hesitated.

This fiendum should have sooner or later, according to the practice of Mingming, after the seal seems to have fidelity, his father is the Nanyang Hou, then, Nanyang can be counted as the fissure of his own home?

He said, “This, the fissure of our family has not yet been settled, and we are only now occupying Batavia, the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company.”

Of course, the Dutch East India Company, Joanna knew that the whole continent did not know the Dutch East India Company less, and Batavia, she had heard of, there were many huge islands, some larger than the Portuguese mainland.

She couldn’t help but say excitedly, “Wow, your family’s femine is so big!”

This!

Zheng successfully had a little red face, he thought about it, simply fork out the topic: "Princess, if you don't go out with me first, the whole palace has been cleaned up by me, there is no danger, your father is still waiting for you outside."

Princess Joanna said, "Well, I'll go with you."

Zheng successfully bshed, very politely made a gesture of invitation, even if taking the lead to go out.

Joanna held little Alfonso in one hand, holding Catalina in the other, and followed behind him with an obsession, like a marionette.

At this time, João IV and Queen Louisa were anxiously waiting outside the palace, and Queen Louisa and Pedro, the little prince less than two years old, had already been sent out by Zheng, but Joanna, Catalina and Alfonso had not been seen.

When Zheng successfully led them out, João IV and Queen Louisa could not help pounce on it, hugged their children, and cried out.

Joanna snuggled in the arms of João IV, her eyes were still obsessed with Zheng Cheng, and did not know what was the matter, she suddenly asked, "Father, what do you think of the prince?"

Joang IV followed her eyes, not a stop, because he knew nothing about Zheng's successful family background!

Zhang Bin looked at their expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Successful, what are they talking about?”

Zheng successfully heard the words, shi-wow said: "This, this princess seems to be asking me is not a prince."

The Prince?

Zhang Bin looked at Zheng successfully, and then looked at Princess Joanna, his eyes suddenly showed a sudden color.

Prince and Princess, this seems to be a good idea!
