Gold is Justice

Natalie's eyes fell on Airl now, she nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Get up, my lovely...brother."

This tone is so strange that even Ai Luo couldn't help but chuckle now, stood up covering his mouth, and said with a smile: "My sister's life as a concubine doesn't seem so easy and happy. I thought that you only To raise a baby with peace of mind is to raise a baby with peace of mind, and don’t care about other things.”

Natalie is also smiling now, and the maid next to her helped her to sit down on the seat next to her, and said with a smile: "How could it be so easy? There are many things in the imperial city. Love... Brother Arrow, you Could it be that today is also because of the flower fairies?"

Airl patted his thigh, then spread his hands, and said with a wry smile, "I can't get in. Anyway, my identity makes it impossible to get in."

Natalie nodded, also understanding.After a short rest, he got up and said, "Since you can't go to the main hall, how about coming to my place to rest? My husband doesn't end up talking about these big things so easily."

Chapter 940 Small Chat

Idle is also idle, and Arrow agreed immediately.

Then, Natalie led the way, and Arrow followed.After passing through several guard posts and courtyards, the two finally arrived at a pavilion in the middle of the lake and sat down in the pavilion.

"Don't mind the one just now. This little girl is our family's favorite little ancestor. She is only 16 years old this year. She is the third princess of the Blue Bay Empire—Rumella Bilan. How is it? Is it the same as the rumored one? Same?"

While walking, Natalie began to complain about the situation on her side.Ai Luo clapped his hands and said, "I've heard that our third princess has an eclectic style of acting, and her usual costumes are also very...personal! I saw it today, and I saw it with my own eyes!"

The maid on the side poured tea for the two and brought a fruit plate.Natalie cheerfully pushed these fruit plates in front of Ai Luo, encouraging Ai Luo to eat more as if she were her favorite younger brother.

Airl picked up a round fruit and asked curiously: "Sister Natalie, what is this? It's such a beautiful fruit. It's small and round, and it can still look good when exposed to the sun. Translucent!"

Natalie laughed and said, "You don't know about this, do you? This is just picked from the small island on the other side of the coastline in the past two years. It is a kind of fruit called 'lychee'. It is very sweet. You try it."

Airl put the fruit in his mouth and bit it lightly.In an instant, the sweet juice spurted out from the white and smooth meat, almost not surprising Airl.

"This... this is really sweet! Why is it so sweet?"

Seeing Ai Luo's exaggerated expression, Natalie also smiled cheerfully, and said, "How is it? My sister didn't lie to you! Let me tell you, these lychees are not so white and smooth. Their It has an ugly and unsightly shell on the outside, but the servants have already peeled off the shell before serving it. I can guarantee that even if you see a lychee with the shell on, you may not recognize it at once."

Airl looked at the soft and tender fruit, covered his mouth, tried to eat all the juice in his mouth, and then spit out a small core and put it on the table.

After thinking for a while, Arrow couldn't help but said: "Sister Natalie, where did you get this thing called lychee? Is it easy to grow? Or, let's find a way to grow it?"

The maid on the side picked up a handkerchief, grabbed a lychee and put it in Natalie's mouth.The imperial concubine said with a smile: "It's not that no one has thought about it, but this fruit is really delicate. After leaving the southern island, no matter how you plant it, it will not survive. Moreover, these lychees are very delicate. After picking, you must Immediately transport it, if it leaves the branch for more than three days, the taste will become unpalatable. The road of thousands of kilometers is really thanks to my husband who thought of a way to get such troublesome things to please me."

Originally, Airl wanted to reach for one again.

But when he heard this sentence, the hand that he originally wanted to stretch out couldn't help but retracted.After thinking about it, he still took out a handkerchief from his pocket, carefully wrapped the kernels he had eaten, and put them in his pocket.

"What? Do you want to try it too?"

Natalie had a smile on her face—

"I heard that you are working in the guild, but I didn't expect you to do farm work?"

Ai Luo smiled and said: "I know some friends who are very good at growing things, so I want to try it. Sister, how is your health recently? Now your belly is getting bigger and bigger, probably not Are you running outside again?"

When it comes to her belly, Natalie is immediately full of excitement and pride.She stroked her abdomen lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since the last time, I have been absolutely forbidden to even go out of the castle, let alone go out to see our people. Sigh... yes I feel a little suffocated at times.”

Airl poured a cup of hot water for Natalie, and said with a smile, "It's better to be careful. How can there be a pregnant woman like you running around with your belly up?" Natalie put on a very serious look. With a stubborn look, he said: "What's wrong with my big belly? He is usually busy with official duties. I will inspect our people instead of him to see how our people are living, whether they are poor, and whether they feel fair. And justice, is life happy and healthy! Only when the people live well, will his work be easier, won't he? And—"

She lowered her head, rubbed her stomach very lovingly, and said with a smile——

"The child in my belly is also the future emperor of this country. I want him to learn how to be a good emperor from an early age, so that he can lead our country to a brighter future just like his father!"

Talking and chatting, Natalie became more and more interested.After talking about her child, she also started to pull Ai Luo like an ordinary woman, and began to complain that her husband only cared about work and ignored herself all day.At the same time, he would also talk about some interesting things when he and Airl were together, which made the two of them laugh.

However, Natalie's character is more or less unwilling to be restrained. After talking for a while, she felt that the maids around were very boring, so she let these maids go far away, leaving only Next, I and Ai Luo chatted while having afternoon tea at the Huxin Pavilion.

"Hey...sometimes, I really miss Bang Bang Bang Lang."

Natalie frowned slightly, took a sip of hot tea, exhaled, and said slowly——

"As the crown prince, he naturally has the burden of being the crown prince, and I also know that he is only thinking about making the Blue Bay Empire stronger and safer, and making ordinary people's lives better. But he has been busy like this , I'm really worried about his body..."

Ai Luo picked up a grape and chewed it in his mouth, and said: "I know His Royal Highness is very busy, but every successor to the throne should be like this. Thinking of me, just managing a guild feels exhausted Yes, but this is running a country."

Hearing the word guild, Natalie rolled her eyes slightly and said, "Ariel, after this year's battle is over, you will disband the guild, right?"

Airl was taken aback for a moment, and spat out the grape seeds in his mouth: "This...why?"

Natalie sighed, and said: "You are a girl, and you will marry in after the Holy Night Festival. I have never heard that people who marry into the royal family will also run a guild. Such a small guild."

In this regard, Airl just laughed dryly twice, noncommittal.

"Of course, I wouldn't tell you that if it was just for interest. But it's better to stop doing things like guilds as soon as possible. Because next year, Violent Wave should formulate a series of policies to abolish guilds. .”

If the persuasion just now just made Ai Luo laugh a little dryly, then the news I got now makes Ai Luo's smile that was on the corner of his mouth no longer able to be maintained.

But soon, he recalled in his mind the guild cancellation plan mentioned by the head of the Purgatory Guild.

"It turns out that the rumors in the market are true?"

Airl nodded slightly and said.

Natalie picked up a lychee again and put it in her mouth, and said: "So the folks have already spread it? Well, that's true. Since my husband became the crown prince for the past two years, things have been going on and on. Northwest direction The friction between the Predator Empire and us is getting more and more serious. Therefore, he only thinks about reforms all day long."

Airl nodded and said, "Reform? Is this a good thing?"

Natalie sighed slightly, then said with a wry smile: "Reform is of course a good thing, but sometimes I often worry that he is too hasty."

"Now that the father has not really returned to the throne, he can't wait to move a lot of things. Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the guilds you run. He has been talking about why the defense of the empire needs you. Are these purely commercial adventurers operating? He also said that even the most remote imperial borders should be garrisoned by the imperial army, and you adventurers should not be allowed to undertake defense work."

"In fact, everyone has been persuading him all the time, saying that reducing the military expenditure of the empire and handing over the defense to commercial guilds like you can save a lot of money. Don't talk to him directly, just find me here and hope I can help I know of no less than ten people who my husband blows pillows on."

"Hey... But, he has always been persistent, even a little tough. He is determined to take back the defense rights of the empire. He also said that if you adventurers still want to work as adventurers, you should join the imperial army. Obey the management of the Imperial Army. If you don’t want to, then disarm and return to the fields, go back to farming, and stop walking around with weapons in the name of adventurers. Also say that you adventurers are also part of social instability to a certain extent one of the factors."

If Airl didn't run the Adventurer's Guild, then he would probably agree with the crown prince's idea very much!

Military power is a very important part of any country. Such an important power results in the fact that each region has its own defense power because of the cost problem, which itself has many hidden dangers.

But... If you really want to take back the military power, mobilizing adventurers is probably not the real key factor.

"Does His Royal Highness still want to take back the military power of the lords everywhere?"

Inadvertently, Airl said something softly.At that moment, Airl saw a flash of surprise and alertness on Natalie's face.

Chapter 940 Meet the Crown Prince

Seeing the next moment of vigilance on her face, Ai Luo immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly waved his hand and said, "I... I took it for granted..."

Natalie looked at Airl's face silently. After observing for a long time, the alert color on her face gradually faded, and she exhaled slowly, saying: "It's not your fault, you can think so In fact, it is easy to understand. After all, you adventurer guilds are about to be withdrawn, how could you let those lords go?"

Speaking of this, the expression on Natalie's face became even more embarrassed and worried.She even put away those delicious lychees now, but frowned and said sadly——

"I'm really worried about him... Menglang wants to do too many things... There are too many things that make me feel that he is even a little too hasty..."

"Disarming your adventurer guild can also be based on the fact that your defense is incomplete, but after disarming you adventurers, where will the funds for maintaining the local army come from? How to maintain it? How can we ensure that the local army can obey our royal family's orders? Direct command? Who will lead the army? Just these things are already giving my husband a headache, not to mention that he is still thinking about further disarmament... Sigh..."

Facing Natalie's current hesitation and confusion, Arrow thought about it, and said cautiously: "Sister Natalie, so... what is the Duke's attitude now? Does he... support disarmament?"

Natalie nodded slightly, but then shook her head immediately.But after a while, she still nodded——

"Duke Jin Guo is the military general of our country, and the military power of the weak local lords will undoubtedly continue to be concentrated in his hands. I don't think he has any objection to this. But..."

Natalie paused for a moment, and after looking up and down at Airl, she continued——

"However, the Duke of Jin Guo seems to have expressed to my husband in private that it is best not to make these reforms, and said that these reforms will weaken our country. Now is the critical moment of confrontation with the Hunting Seat Empire. If we have internal problems at this time, it may give the Murderous Seat Empire an opportunity to take advantage of. So generally speaking, the Duke of Jin Guo should not be very supportive of reform..."

Airl rubbed his shoulders a little, nodded lightly and said: "That's true... reform will definitely bring a lot of instability, and it seems that it is indeed not a good idea under the current situation... Sister, you Haven't you persuaded His Royal Highness Chu Jun?"

There was a smile on the corner of Natalie's mouth. She stretched out her hand, tapped Arrow's forehead lightly, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, how can we women interfere in the affairs of the country casually? What if it gets out? But what should I do? If Meng Lang listens to my advice and makes the right decision, others will say that my husband is a waste who only listens to women. My words made my plans go wrong, and I became a sinner instead."

Hearing this, Ai Luo could only scratch the back of his head, laughed dryly, and said: "Those men have one more peeing thing than us, so they can say anything about us, once we intervene in them In this field, no matter what you do is wrong? Speaking of which, who set this rule? Why are only men allowed to participate in national affairs, and women are not allowed to participate? Who stipulated that we women can only stay behind and give birth to children? Sister, have you seen it in the past three years? I can also pull up a team, and I can do what men can do. Even, I can do better than many men!"

Regarding Airl's remarks, Natalie on the opposite side immediately lowered her face and shook her head again and again.Looking at Ai Luo, there is even more a look of blame but pity for an ignorant child.

That is, when she wanted to continue talking, she suddenly heard a maid in the distance shout loudly: "His Royal Highness."

Hearing the echo, Airl stood up quickly.Turning his head to look, he saw that the eldest prince of the Blue Bay Empire, the crown prince, and the real person in power when the emperor is seriously ill—His Royal Highness Menglang Bilan, is now walking towards the Huxin Pavilion .

"His Royal Highness."

Ai Luo quickly knelt down and saluted the prince who was walking slowly.

And the crown prince just smiled lightly after seeing Ai Luo, stretched out his hand casually, and said with a smile: "Get up, we are almost a family, don't be so restrained."

Airl let out a breath, and stood up cautiously.

At this time, Menglang had already come to his wife, and he stretched out his hand to support Natalie, telling her to sit down without getting up and moving around.

Ai Luo, who was standing next to him, watched the movement and eyes of the man hugging Natalie. Although Ai Luo had never been in love since he was a child, he had never seen any serious and touching love stories.But at this moment, he suddenly felt that he seemed to understand the man's eyes.

It was a look of extreme tenderness.

When he looked at his wife, he was not looking at someone who was just a reproductive tool, but a look that was really full of "love".From the very beginning, Ai Luo actually noticed a slight sense of burnout on the face of the prince who had just attended the meeting.However, when the prince saw his wife, the tiredness on his face was immediately cast aside.

He sat beside his wife, took off his white gloves, gently covered his wife's hands, and whispered some whispers with Natalie.There were no military affairs in the words, but full of concern and concern.For example, whether it is cold or hot, what to eat, what to do, what to like, what to dislike, and so on.

Seeing such a man looking at his wife so gently and affectionately, Arrow couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Think about yourself... one day in the future, will there be such a man who will look at me with such gentle eyes?

But at the moment when the thought just came up, Airl shook his head immediately, throwing the thought away.

"Ariel, thank you for being able to talk to my wife today."

After finishing the soft chat with Natalie, Meng Lang finally turned his head, with a smile on his rather thick face, and said something to Airl.

In any case, Ai Luo still felt a little nervous when facing the crown prince of his own country, quickly bowed and said, "No! No! That...it was...it was me...was rude! That...Prince...Your Highness... !"

Natalie couldn't help covering her mouth with a chuckle, and said, "Okay, okay, you girl, you were talking so loudly just now, why are you so scared now? Don't worry, your highness won't I ate yours in one bite."

Airl's face blushed involuntarily, and he took a step back with a little shyness, pinching the corners of his clothes with both hands, rubbing them in a somewhat bewildered manner.

Meng Lang laughed, stretched out his hand and gently scratched his wife's nose, and after speaking softly again, he turned his head, looked at Ai Luo, then nodded and smiled again: "Ariel, to be honest, I didn't I just heard about you. But after talking with those flower fairies today, I am surprised that I didn't even meet you well before."

Airl scratched his blushing cheeks, not knowing for a moment whether he should bow down like a gentleman or curtsy like a lady, he was in a hurry and could only hold his own pants Gently mentioned it, and made a gesture of salute: "That...that's all rumors..."

The smile on Meng Lang's face was slightly put away, and he carefully looked at Airl with admiring eyes.After a while, he said slowly: "Since the war with the demons for more than 300 years... no, it should be said that since the ancient battle of chaos, I have never heard of anyone who can say that the flower goblin took the initiative to join In the world of humans, they are willing to maintain the order of humans, and are even willing to make transactions with humans. Maybe there are scenes where flower fairies unite with humans in the demon war, but that is in the face of war. In today's world without demon invasion Here, you can be regarded as the unprecedented No.1."

Natalie saw that Ai Luo was still saluting embarrassingly over there, so she nodded and said with a smile: "Stinky girl, don't salute, come and sit and talk. Take care of me, a pregnant woman, and don't let me always Looking up at you like this, okay?"

Ai Luo was stunned for a moment, and hurried over to sit down on the seat.But the neck and legs are shrunk, the two arms are also shrunk between the legs, and the buttocks dare not sit in the whole seat, just touching one side.

Meng Lang glanced at his wife, and Natalie also glanced at her husband, and the two smiled at each other.Then, Menglang continued: "Can you tell me, how did you meet these flower fairies? They really trust you. I almost thought of calling you into the hall to listen directly you said."

Natalie next to her pushed her husband lightly with her shoulder, and said, "This is not acceptable. The rules set by our ancestors cannot be changed casually. The ministers will gossip."

Speaking of the rules, Meng Lang's gentle eyes showed a little pride and confidence, and said: "If the rules set by the ancestors are out of date, they should be changed. Many things in this world must be changed. Can continue to survive. Just like Ariel, without her, how could we form an alliance with the rumored flower fairy?"
