see you tonight princess

Chapter 137

After Lan Mo came out of the main hall, he ran all the way to the kitchen in the backyard of Liuyuan.Lan Mo saw that Fang Cuijiao was studying the dishes with several chefs in the kitchen.Seeing that she was wearing a yellow round-neck gown with straight train, the sleeves were tied up with silver lock loops, and a piece of gauze was wrapped around her wrist, Lan Mo thought that she really didn't notice the injury on Fang Cuijiao's hand before.

Fang Cuijiao didn't know what she said to the chefs, she laughed delicately, the clear laughter could be heard from far away.In addition, she rolled up her sleeves, and her white forearm just danced with the movement, her slender waist and buttocks were swimming in front of the counter like a water snake, not to mention her towering chest following her smile The sound trembled.

Lan Mo felt dizzy and her nose felt itchy. She covered her nose with a handkerchief and ran in.Because she suddenly realized that she was not the only one who saw the spring scenery, but also the chef and handyman who stood beside her saw it!

"You, you guys! Don't look!" Lan Mo rushed in and yelled at the people around Fang Cuijiao, then picked Fang Cuijiao up by the waist without any explanation, and ran back to the wing on the west side of the backyard.

Fang Cuijiao groaned, and complained delicately: "My lord, what are you so rude for? Your whole body is so hard that it hurts people."

Lan Mo was a little aggrieved, she grabbed Fang Cuijiao's hand and put it on her body, said in a hoarse voice: "You, you think it's hard, then help me rub it more. It's fine if you don't say rub it, don't be rude Don't be nice to others when others laugh."

"Hey, what are you..." Fang Cuijiao was a little surprised, this serious and shy Lan Mo suddenly became so aggressive, grabbing someone's hand and touching her nipple at the slightest word.

"Sister Fang, you, do you like me?" Lan Mo hurriedly held her hand, stroking the wound on her wrist: "I like you. You have been taking care of me a few days ago, why are you wrong?" I said. You told me, I will definitely not make such a mess. "

It turned out that I was moved after knowing these insignificant things.Fang Cuijiao blinked tears, and said softly: "Lan Mo, I know you are kind and honest, and you take the matter between us to heart as a responsibility, and I also know that you made those promises in order to fear that the Holy Maiden would fall to me. You don't need to treat those as shackles, Fang Cuijiao treats you well, and doesn't want you to exchange anything."

"But I don't take it as a responsibility. I know what it means to like, like the princess and Xia Shizi, I see it in my eyes, I didn't know what kind of relationship it was until I was with you. I, I really like it You... But, do you not like me anymore... Do you really only regard me as a benefactor who is having fun..."

When Lan Mo said this, he felt a pain in his heart, which he had never felt before, so he began to cry. "If that's the case, you don't want to play with other people, you just stay with me, okay, I will agree to whatever you want..."

Fang Cuijiao was a little dumbfounded, seeing Lan Mo's aggrieved look, and talking, how did she make people cry.Fang Cuijiao, who has been having fun for more than [-] years, is naturally not a little girl who doesn't understand emotions. Seeing Lan Mo like this, her heart softened and she couldn't help laughing.

She sighed and patted Lan Mo and said: "I have seen too many ruthless men in my life, but I never feel sad. Because I have no intentions, those people are just a living thing in my eyes, no different from the cows and horses in the shed. Until When I ran into you, I never thought that I would have any entanglements with women, but once I had it, I couldn’t stop the car. I just didn’t expect women to make people sad. The only thing I have in my life, It's all for you. Don't cry."

"Then what the princess said is true? You like me, you mean it." Lan Mo asked with red eyes.

"The princess said the princess said, did she say that you are a log?" Fang Cuijiao poked her forehead angrily.

Unexpectedly, Lan Mo nodded honestly: "She said."

"Pfft...haha!" Fang Cuijiao laughed, hugged Lan Mo and shook her lightly: "Oh my little lady, why are you so stupid."

"I'm not stupid..." Lan Mo blushed: "You said that day, do you want to marry me? I, I want... I dare not admit it. After all, I am a woman, and I am entangled with you. I am afraid of losing But I thought in my heart... I took this opportunity to get the princess to agree to marry me as my wife. I think even if you don't like me, you can't resist the order, you are forced to follow I, I can always keep you. I plan on you, isn't it very bad. "

Fang Cuijiao laughed so hard that she leaned forward and backward: "Yes, you are the smartest. Convince you, I, Fang Cuijiao, have been smart all my life, and I am afraid that I will be able to match a shrewd little lady like you!"

It was rare for Lan Mo to see the expression on his face. At this moment, he could only smile awkwardly, scratching his head and echoing: "Your sister is right."

"Tsk... Lan Mo is so stupid." Xia Lvsi listened to Fang Cuijiao's back window, and couldn't help urging: "Kiss me, kiss me!"

Duan Lingge's expression was cold and embarrassed.It's all thanks to Xia Lvsi who insisted on pulling her over. Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of a country, is simply listening to the wall outside someone else's boudoir.

"Who is it?" asked the insider.

"Wow, I was discovered." Xia Lusi laughed out of fright, grabbed Duan Lingge's hand and ran away.

"Hey! Xia Lvsi!" Duan Lingge was pulled away and started to run.

"Haha! It's fun, my wife, run faster!" Xia Lvsi laughed and ran farther and farther.

"Heh, heh~" A soft and gentle voice was added to the gradually receding voice.

"Monkey! You are too good at making trouble..."

On the other side, Xia Mengfu also clamored for his daughter to give him a spaceship.The situation in Zhaoli City has been stalemate and entangled with Duan Lingge since he came to Jiangzhou. He and Duan Lingge are pulling each other, each winning or losing.It's just that now, taking advantage of the muddy water stirred up by the "Six Commandments", Duan Lingge suddenly exerted force, and he was caught off guard for a while, but he was suspended from his job, and he was in Jiangzhou, unable to move.

Until now, Duan Lingge seems to be in poor health, and he is obsessed with matters of love for his children and lazy about political affairs. Xia Mengfu decided to go back to Zhaoli City to find a way to recover.After having an idea, he joyfully took Xinna's concubine back to Zhaoli City on the flywheel.

However, what Xia Mengfu never imagined in his dreams was that when he returned to Zhaoli City, he found that the world had changed instantly.

First of all, he discovered that the monopoly of salt and iron has become a reality, and the third courtyard of Duan Ling's singer was quickly deployed within a few months after he went to Jiangzhou. Not only was his power weakened, but with his size The aristocratic families even handed over the local governance power.

This formed a pattern that Xia Mengfu had never been in contact with: in the past, he controlled the government with one hand and had an overview of the power, which was based on the support of all the major families.And Duan Lingge is in charge of the three courts, and the branches under the jurisdiction of the three courts are in charge of political affairs, justice, and military affairs in various places, which means that the local control power is concentrated in Duan Lingge.

This is the centralization of power that Xia Mengfu has always dreamed of but never realized!

Xia Mengfu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but when he figured it out, his forehead was sweating.You know, power is a tiger, either you control it, or you are swallowed by it.In this position, Xia Mengfu can only control the government and hold power firmly in his hands, and he will not relax at all.

Because Duan Lingge and the emperor want to get rid of her at any time, and there are other aristocratic families eager to take his place at any time.If he showed a little timidity, the entire Xia family would be doomed.Can only advance but not retreat.

Xia Mengfu urgently recruited the patriarchs of the family and all the trusted ministers to discuss countermeasures.Xia Mengfu said angrily: "The old man has not been here for a while, and you have caused such a big mess. Duan Lingge and Duan Xi, a woman and a ten-year-old child, what do you know? Why did the situation go to this point?!"

"Prime Minister calm down, the eldest princess's policy is vigorously promoted, and there is a lot of financial resources and the support of Lei Ting's army. We can't support it on our own, and we really can't make it up." Someone argued.

Xia Mengfu angrily asserted: "Duan Lingge's policy cannot be carried forward! Her strong push will inevitably lead to a strong counterattack. It is impossible for the aristocratic families outside Zhaoli City and other places to give up their power and resist the riots. The imperial power will be unstable, so she Don’t dare! What are you afraid of, be bold.”

"But, the problem is that... she really implemented it. And there were many voices of opposition at the beginning, but after you left Zhaoli City, the Prime Minister, the opposition did not become louder, but the opposition became less and less. Everywhere It seems that the aristocratic families are not so strongly opposed, and some of the weaker ones have already belonged to the princess, and I lobbied them to boycott, but I couldn't do it."

"What! There is such a thing? What absurdity!" Xia Mengfu disapprovingly swept all the teacups on the table to the ground and broke them.

However, you can't speak too harshly, Xia Mengfu really realized it later.He hurriedly sent people to investigate around and found out that the times had changed!

It turns out that in ancient times 1000 years ago, information transmission was inconvenient, so for the inertial thinking of ancient people, it was normal for information to be transmitted in units of half a year, a year, or a few years.But Xia Lusi is a modern person, and the speed she requires for obtaining information is a limit speed in days.

Xia Mengfu naturally believed that Duan Lingge's desire to centralize power would violate the interests of the aristocratic family and lead to hostility from the aristocratic family and the common people based on his more than 20 years of experience in governing the government.

But Xia Mengfu didn't know that during the three years when he had no information, what Xia Lvsi had been asking Li Ru to do was to do a lot of infrastructure construction in all the state capitals of the Southern Dian Kingdom, and to teach a lot of agricultural knowledge. Technology and high-yield seeds help the family to increase production and benefit the people.

At the same time, Duan Lingge's centralization of power only involved government affairs, legal affairs, and military affairs, and all economic interests of the aristocratic family remained unchanged.

Duan Lingge and Xia Lusi, one is in the court and the other is in the court; one is attacking power, the other is attacking technology; the internal and external cooperation, tacit coordination, forcibly reversed the situation. vastly different transformations.

So the aristocratic family weighed their interests and found that the harvest is better than before, richer than before, the serfs in the family and the people under their rule live and work more comfortably than before, and life is better rather than worse than before.Since the royal family wanted to rule power, but not to take their land and seize their property, most of the aristocratic families stopped, not only did not rebel, but were willing to cooperate with Duan Lingge.

Xia Mengfu spent ten days understanding the current situation in detail, and found that it was more serious than he imagined. He used to think that Duan Lingge was just a weak and bully little girl, but now he was shocked by Duan Lingge's methods.

In the name of Xia Mengfuqi being able to hold academic debates, he convened civil and military officials representing the interests of various aristocratic families to gather in the Hanlin Academy.

After talking for a while, Xia Mengfu found that many small aristocratic families who were originally united out of interests and intimidated by the power to follow his lead have become hesitant.In the past, Xia Mengfu didn't pay much attention to these small aristocratic families sitting in a city or in a quiet corner, but now they all have ambiguous attitudes, and Xia Mengfu is very angry.

He impassionedly said: "Masters, don't be careless. The princess must not be allowed to do whatever she wants in such a big event. Don't think that the matter has nothing to do with you. She defeated the Xia family, and it will be your turn next."

"Ah this..."

Everyone whispered.Except for several powerful families who supported Xia Mengfu, the other families were hesitant to be coaxed and intimidated by Xia Mengfu.

At this time, a person no one could have expected appeared at the door of the posthouse's conference hall.Duan Lingge was dressed in a gorgeous red brocade robe embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns in gold thread. She walked in slowly and said softly: "My lords, please don't be restrained. I just returned to the city and I just heard that the adults are arguing about the real affairs of the world. I Come and listen."
