  In fact, as expected by Edward, after little Lolita's soft and hard talk, and her own reluctance for her daughter, Queen Mary finally went to London, England with Little Lolita.

  Edward also has considerations for Queen Mary.

  If Queen Mary has been living in Edinburgh, she is like a banner, attracting the attention of the French and the Scottish independence forces.

  She is in Scotland, and she can be sure that the Scottish independence forces will definitely increase in strength.

  So, for the safety of Scotland and his own interests, Edward invited this beautiful and mature French lady to London.

   Moreover, all the nobles in Scotland are disgusted with this French woman who seized power, and wish she would go.

   In this way, with the release of various forces, the Queen Mother finally boarded the carriage to London.

  In 1549, on June 1st, the whole of Edinburgh was suddenly surrounded by a festive atmosphere, which confused people who didn't know it, and they started calling.

  As a shop boy, Elton just woke up, opened the door of the shop, and saw the pedestrians on the road beaming, as if it was a festival, and even the other shop assistants in the shop were also looking happy, which made him puzzled.

   "Hey! Burr, what's going on?" Elton asked curiously, holding a big man in the store who had been giggling.

   "Haven't you heard? The little king of England is leaving and going back to England, so the whole people of Edinburgh are singing happily!" Burr said with a smile.

   "This is indeed a happy thing!" Elton was also a little happy.

"Elton, please let me know. I'm happy today. All the ready-made clothes in the store will be reduced by two levels. Don't forget it!" the chubby shopkeeper said to Elton with a smile, and then walked out of the store and walked happily on the street. walking.

   "Understood!" Elton agreed, and then notified the other guys.

  As a store clerk, he knows that in the past month, a lot of fabrics have been accumulated in the store, and he just took this opportunity to sell them.

  Thus, due to the spread of this ready-to-wear shop, almost all the shops in Edinburgh have reduced their prices, and Edinburgh people have also started sweeping goods, and Edinburgh has been lively all day long. Merchants make a lot of profits on this day, and they consciously cut prices to survive at this time of year, and Edinburgh has a festival.

  Thus, what Edward did not expect was that he finally left Edinburgh with a festival that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

  Edinburgh is built on a hilly area, with rugged terrain, undulating hillsides, and a strong city wall. It can be said that Edinburgh is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Riding on a horse, looking ahead, the lush trees look green on the hills, and beside the winding road, there are a few foraging birds parked from time to time, and the lively cheers of Edinburgh can be heard intermittently Voice.

  Standing up straight, with a smile on his face, Edward kept greeting various Scottish nobles under the tall city walls of Edinburgh.

   And the Scottish nobles were all enthusiastic and moved, as if they were very reluctant to leave him. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that is a kind call.

  Behind him, Queen Mary was wearing a white tunic dress, hugging little Lolita, and greeted the nobles who came to say goodbye one by one in a graceful manner. Little Lolita also stayed in Queen Mary's arms obediently.

On the left and right sides of the carriage, Baron Smith, Earl of Wellington, Major Dio who came back from the support, Dark Blade Commander Cooper and others rode on horseback to stand on both sides, and the guards with vigilant faces, plus the surrounding 3,000 guards and Two thousand people.

  As for Major James, he went back by boat, which was fast and convenient.

   brought the Privy Councilors and Sir John, who were left by Edward to deal with the Scottish Reformation.

  In addition to the carriages of Edward and several people, there are nearly hundreds of carriages, large and small, going back to London with Edward's army. They are all Scottish MPs who went to England to serve.

  Edward also left in Edinburgh 2,000 militia gathered from several counties in the north, handed over to the command of Alexander Knights, and settling in Scotland.

  Although Knight Alexander is handsome in appearance, he still has military talents, and he follows Henry VIII, and his political ability is not low. He has good conduct and is trustworthy.

   Farewell to the Scottish nobles who came to see him off, Edward rode his horse and galloped to the front of the convoy, shouting with all his strength, "Let's go—"

   Immediately, Edward's order was transmitted to the front of the army, and the entire convoy began to move slowly.

  At this time, a light rain just fell in fickle London, and in an instant, the sun was no longer shy, casting beams of gentle light.

  After a light rain, the whole of London began to come alive again.

  Since the Hanseatic merchants were taxed and privileges were abolished, the whole of London began to exude vitality, and the streets and alleys were full of busy figures.

  People are in a hurry, their faces are serious, and the idea that time is money begins to take root in the hearts of the people. The slow-moving carriage is carefully driving on the crowded street.

Soldiers with physical disabilities, wearing black suits specially designed by Edward for them, with red cloth scarves on their arms, daggers on their waists, with murderous expressions, kept turning their heads on the street, Watch carefully.

  The sewage on the street slowly slipped into the sewer along the roadside, and the whole street looked much cleaner.

He stepped on a small hole full of water in the street, and the splashed sewage directly wet Suweier's sheepskin boots, but he didn't care so much, and directly hired an empty carriage on the street, and sat in it .

   "Go to the city hall!" Souwell gasped and said with a Norwich accent.

   "Sit still, sir!" The groom reminded, and made the horse turn a corner before accelerating.

  Sitting on the somewhat swaying carriage, Su Weier couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  Since he was admitted more than a month ago, he and all the admission staff have been trained by the etiquette officer for more than a month, and it didn't stop until yesterday.

  Happy for a while, he drank a few drinks in the pub with some of his friends from Norwich, but he got up late today. You must know that this is his first day of reporting.

  London City Hall moved out from the Palace of Westminster a few days ago and bought a villa in the city center as the residence of the city government.

   "This is your reward!" Seeing the conspicuous building of the city government, Souwell took out five pence from his pocket and handed it to the groom.

  Getting off the carriage, he went straight to the Port and Wharf Management Office. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the director sternly say: "His Majesty the King will return from Scotland tomorrow, please be careful, and don't make any mistakes..."
