Meng Lang frowned and was looking at Ariel over there with a complicated expression, who had completely closed her eyes and no longer looked at anyone here. Obviously, the crown prince's mood was also very complicated now. On the one hand, he was indeed very depressed.

He admired this girl's courage and vision. But on the other hand, he never expected that her bet was to change the ancestral law! This was not something that could be agreed to easily.

At that moment, he shook his head in annoyance and said: "I don't have time now, let the teachers come back later."

The soldier outside the door responded. But after a while, the soldier's voice rang again, saying: "Your Highness, the head of the department said it's okay to wait, but he wants to come in and wait. It's a bit...cold outside."

This sentence was passed through the door, which made Meng Lang laugh. Then he nodded and agreed to the request.

The door opened, Connor pulled his cloak slightly and walked in slowly.

Along the way, his eyes fell silently on the girl standing here, looking at the determination and disappointment on her face...

Just by seeing this expression, the teacher knew exactly what step it was in. Without asking any more questions, he passed by Ariel and saluted the two princes in front of him, and then saluted Duke Jinguo.

I was given a seat and sat on a soft leather bench nearby and waited.

"Report to Your Highness! I...I have calculated it again!"

The tax officer quickly looked through the accounts in his hand and said loudly——

"Obviously, although introducing the Flower Fairy is considered a merit, the tax exemption limit is only 1% at most. And that strange car is not interesting at all! To sum up, the tax limit of Mermaid Song should be

14%! A tax of 250 gold, 7 silver, 5 copper and 2 iron should be paid! In other words, after the past three years, Mermaid Song’s current liquidity should be 956 gold, 3 silver, 9 copper and 2 iron! This

The data will never be wrong again!”

Although, Ariel had already known that there would be such a result.

But when she heard this number coming from the tax officer's mouth, she couldn't help but tremble.

956 gold... In other words, this number has proved her failure... right?

Slowly, Ariel opened her eyes again.

What caught his eye was Duke Jinguo's relaxed smile, Prince Tide's gloating expression, and the crown prince's slightly relieved look.

so……

Why did you lose?

Haha, shouldn’t this reason be changed to why I can’t win and shouldn’t win?

"Oh, this is such a pity. 956 gold, which is still dozens of gold coins short of a thousand gold. Although the agreement failed, Ariel, you still worked very hard."

Meng Lang had a relaxed smile on his face and comforted Ariel here.

In this regard, the only thing Ariel could do was to continue to put that smile on her face, then lift up her skirt, and slowly salute to the big shots at the scene again, showing her humility as a maid.

and elegance.

Duke Jinguo also clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Ariel, you have done really well in the past three years. You have shown us a very wonderful and interesting drama. I believe your story.

It will definitely be turned into an opera in the future, and it will definitely be very popular."

"Opera? I really like this."

Tide also opened his mouth and said——

"And recently I am also thinking about writing a wonderful musical script for the opera company. I think The Handmaid's Tale is really good! Well, let me think about it..."

The second prince patted his forehead with his fingers, thought for a moment and then immediately smiled -

"Yes! Just write it like this! The beautiful eldest daughter of a noble family is full of dreams and has a very good adventurous spirit. She is unwilling to obey the established marriage contract arranged by her family to marry the royal family.

I hope to be able to break out on my own, so I secretly ran away from home one day, leaving a letter with a sum of money, and vowed to spend three years to prove that I did not only have the option of marrying the prince.

!”

"Subsequently, the eldest lady founded a small guild based on the swordsmanship she had learned since she was a child and ran it quietly. But what she didn't expect was that the prince she was originally scheduled to marry was also a prodigal son who loved romance and adventure.

."

"The prince sneaked out of the palace and entered the guild founded by the eldest lady by chance. The two did not know each other's identity, but they disliked each other at the beginning. After three years, they got to know each other.

Little by little, they began to like each other. Then when the three-year deadline was about to arrive, both parties felt that they were going back to marry someone they didn't know at all, and instead they had to be separated from the person they loved the most, so it was very painful.

."

"At the end of the musical, the prince wanted to take the eldest lady and run away. However, the eldest lady was caught by her parents and taken back. The prince was also persuaded by his loyal butler.

, I returned to the Imperial City with despair. Then, then, the climax came!"

Chao Xiang opened his hands vigorously, his eyes looked very energetic and said——

"The finale of the story is arranged at the wedding. When both men and women see their wives and husbands at the wedding, they are the people they have always missed, and the whole song and dance drama ends with a joyful large-scale dance!

Well, I have a hunch that this will become a very exciting script! Brother, what do you think?"

Seeing that his younger brother was actually asking for his opinion, Meng Lang was a little excited for a moment. Then he laughed, nodded repeatedly, and said: "Well, not bad, it's really good! Just listening to it makes me think it's wonderful. Female

This love opera between a knight and an imperial prince must be very sensational.”

At this point, Duke Jinguo over there couldn't help but clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to His Highness the Second Prince for coming up with such an excellent script! Let me think about it... Yes, yes, yes! A sweet one

The love story ends with a comedy, and it will definitely be very attractive! There will be a fierce dramatic conflict between the male and female protagonists, which will definitely be very interesting to watch."

Meng Lang smiled and continued to nod: "Yes, and this can completely highlight the independence of the heroine, the rich lady, and the strength and bravery of this noble girl. Ariel, what do you think? I think

This script is very good, you see, this script obviously commends girls that they can have their own dreams."

Chao Xiang rubbed his hands, with a bright light in his eyes, and said: "It's really good, just thinking about it makes me feel inspirational! Yes, yes, yes, an outstanding young lady, through her own efforts, finally successfully overcome all difficulties,

Finally, with everyone’s blessing, she became the imperial prince’s concubine! Is there a more beautiful story than this?”

Duke Jinguo: "I think we can also add a villain woman. This villain woman also wants to marry the prince and become the princess, so she tries every means to destroy the relationship between the prince and this noble girl and create misunderstandings between them.

."

Chao Xiang patted his thigh: "My father-in-law, you are really talented! In this way, you can fill in a lot of scenes full of dramatic conflicts, and the audience will also be nervous about the twists and turns of the relationship between men and women! Yes, that's it!

"

Duke Jinguo laughed, turned his head, looked at Ariel here, and smiled slowly and said: "Ariel, you will also feel very happy, right? Your adventure stories in the past three years will be told by two

His Royal Highness personally adapted it into a wonderful romantic comedy adventure story. I think this should be the best reward for your hard work in the past three years."

Ariel.

This maid.

Ariel Garcia.

This slave is named after the doll.

She is smiling now.

Smiling extremely brightly and joyfully.

Her smile is like the spring breeze gently patting her face, like the stars in the sky reflected in the summer party.

Her eyes formed the most perfect crescent shape when she smiled, and the corners of her mouth were raised at the most appropriate angle. All of this made her smile full of standards and perfection.

He won't smile so exaggeratedly that it's annoying, and he won't give people a perfunctory smile.

I believe that any ordinary man, after seeing her perfect smile, can't help but fall in love with this girl who is so gentle, virtuous, cute, charming and well-behaved.

She just has such a beautiful smile, so flawless, and so elegant.

With her smile, the maid's hands once again pinched the hem of the maid's skirt. She took a half step back with her left foot, slowly lowered her body, and slowly saluted the nobles in front of her with the most standard etiquette.

, said——

"It is my... greatest honor to be recognized by His Highness."

"Okay! Ariel, I really appreciate you more and more!"

Meng Lang slapped the table and laughed. He turned his head and saw that his younger brother was looking at the maid with a look full of conquest. After thinking about it, he said -

"Tide, Jin Guo, that's what I think. You see, although this girl Ariel is a maid, she is also working hard to contribute to the economy of our empire. And I can also see that she is very obedient.

I am also willing to obey. If such a smart girl is only used as a maid, it would be a bit of a waste."
