Chapter 1177 Natalie's letter(1/2)
Sigh... Actually, I also know that Meng Lang didn't have that much work originally. He had so much work entirely because he did a lot of things that His Majesty had never done before.
He began to take a lot of power back into his hands little by little. He now had to personally review various resolutions and no longer simply left them to the ministers to operate.
Even on the day I gave birth to Little WoWuo, he promulgated three decrees to reform the financial department.
To be honest, I'm a little worried about him...
Not just worried about his body, but worried about...
As you know, my husband is a very serious and serious person. Whatever he decides to change must be done to the end without any compromise or deflection.
I am not against his reforms, but the speed of reforms is too fast now and there are too many departments involved.
Many times, he just dressed up and walked around the civilian areas and then came back determined to do many, many things.
This is really too radical, and now many people up and down are secretly complaining about my husband.
I know that those people are not qualified to complain about Meng Lang, and I also know that many of the things Meng Lang did are actually right. But such actions are still a little too hasty... I have tried to persuade him several times to slow down a little.
?
He is only twenty-five years old, and he still has many years to be emperor. If he wants to reform, he can do it slowly, little by little.
Even I know that I should constantly contact some people, and then suppress some people, take care of each other, and compromise with each other. Only in this way can I ensure that things continue to be done and done smoothly.
But he is like this now... Well, sometimes I often hate myself for being a girl. If I were a man, maybe I could help him share some responsibilities now, or at least help with suggestions...
Haha, what am I writing? If I were a man, it would be impossible for me to interact with Menglang.
Ariel, write me back.
When I asked you to reply to me, I didn't just ask you to tell me whether the situation there is good or not. I hope you can also help me, my sister.
Recently, there have been reports of several peasant uprisings. Those nobles are really useless. Once they can no longer suppress the peasants, they will ask for help from the central government, and then hope that we will send reinforcements to help them suppress those peasants.
farmer.
But this kind of thing shouldn’t be done by us, right?
I just want to know why those farmers revolted? What dissatisfaction did they have?
The peasants have lived like this since ancient times. Why didn't they rebel before, but when my Meng Lang was about to become the emperor, they all jumped up to rebel?
Dear sister, can you tell me the reason? As a sister, I would like to thank you in advance. After all, compared to me now, you can be regarded as the person closest to the common people.
Ariel, you are a good girl. Likewise, you are now the hardest working member of our royal family.
Another thing is, can you tell me what is going on in the head of a girl who works so hard like you?
I'm talking about the Ora Empire.
Although we and the Hunter Empire are somewhat suspicious of each other, the border line between Blue Bay and the Hunter Empire has not been clearly drawn yet. They have been arguing with each other for more than ten years, counting the issues.
The roots may be hundreds of years old.
But this year, the attacks of the Ora Empire on our borders are becoming more and more fierce and vicious. Do they really want to provoke a large-scale war?
The person in charge of the Orion Empire is the Queen. I really can’t understand why, as the Queen, she is so aggressive? In the past, it was just harassment, but now it has turned into a direct attack!
I also received news two days ago that a city on our border has been conquered by the Hunter Empire. They have occupied one of our lumber supply cities. Although this will not cause a big impact to our Blue Bay Empire,
It hurt, but it was an insult. To this end, my husband had to hold another overnight meeting with many ministers.
Do we think we should send diplomats directly to the Ora Empire to meet the queen and see what she is thinking? Ariel, do you think this is a good idea?
But now everyone is still wondering who is better to send.
Although the other party is an emperor, she is still a queen after all. The envoys we send here will inevitably have to salute that queen.
But if serious diplomats are sent, those men will say that it is an insult to them when they mention kneeling to a woman. They are only willing to kneel to the royal family of Blue Bay, but not to women from other countries.
Bend their noble knees.
If this happens, things will become more troublesome. For a while, we can't find anyone who can be sent as an envoy to the Hunter Empire... If women are also sent as diplomats, who will be in our territory?
How can a woman take on such a huge responsibility?
So, Ariel, can you think about it carefully, if you were the queen of the Ora Empire, why do you think you would attack our Blue Bay Empire? And the attack was so fierce, it didn’t look like a seizure at all.
It looks like it's over in just one city and one pond. It's like heading into a war to destroy the country!
I leave this matter to you, and I look forward to your reply.
By the way, after talking about so many serious things, let’s talk about lighter topics!
Do you know that an opera about you will be released? Haha, I’m giving you a hint here. You will know when you go and see it for yourself. That opera is definitely not a loss!
well……
Ariel, my good sister.
I have always regarded you as my real sister.
Actually I know.
When I was working as a maid in the Duke's Palace, other people would gossip about me secretly.
They will say that I am obviously the daughter of a baron, and I was born into a noble family, but in the end I ended up working as a maid just like you.
During those days, even though I didn't seem to care about anything on the surface, when I sneaked up on someone, I always felt like I wanted to tear myself apart.
But among all the servants, you are the only one who will not laugh at me.
You don't regard me as a lost dog who has fallen to the top of the clouds and can be bullied at will. You respect me, treat me normally, and call me sister properly.
So from that moment on, I knew that in the entire Duke's Palace, I could not trust anyone, but I should never distrust you.
Ariel, you are my good sister. As the sister who is now out of the sea of suffering, I have the obligation to help you and make your life better.
If you need anything in your daily life, just try to tell me. Maybe I can't help much with business, but I can still do something with other things.
Ah, one more thing. I brought you some bedding, clothes and other things this time. You are in a remote place, so there may not be any good things, right? Remember to wear more clothes when the weather gets cold.
When the weather is hot, remember to dress loosely so as not to overheat yourself.
Also, you don’t have much fighting ability. If something really dangerous happens, leave it to your guild members. Don’t rush to the front line for everything. If something unexpected happens,
, I would be worried.
Do you have a dedicated chef there? I'm worried that you won't be able to eat well. Originally, I wanted to hire a chef to come to your place and cook special meals for you. But after asking around, I found out that he was qualified to cook for you.
Our sister Ariel doesn’t want to go to cook, but those who want to go to your place don’t have the qualifications.
After thinking about it, I still felt it was a pity and had no choice but to give up. This time I sent some rice cakes I made myself, which can be stored for a long time. You must try them.
Although my cooking skills may not be as good as yours, you can’t dislike your sister, did you hear me? You must eat it obediently, and then write back to tell me your reaction!
Hahaha, I have written so much content without realizing it. I always feel that there are more things I want to write and more things I want to tell you.
But all the words seemed to be stuck in my throat at this time and I couldn't speak.
Ariel, all in all, you have to remember to take care of your body and never get tired. Remember the weather, have enough food, sleep well, not be too tired, and don’t dwell on money all day long.
Once it's hot, I don't care about anything.
I will wait for the day when you come back.
Sister, take care.
Natalie Blue, handwritten.
————
Putting down the letter in her hand, Ariel felt a little moist at the corners of her eyes for a moment.
She wiped her tears and read the letter from cover to cover again, then nodded, folded it respectfully, and stuffed it back into the envelope.
In fact, she also knows and understands what Sister Natalie is thinking.
This sister, who looks very sunny on the surface, experienced a lot of gossip when she was a maid.
Something happened to her father, and in the end her daughter had to pay off her debt at the Duke's Palace. Although she was not a slave, she lived the same life as a slave and ate the same food as a slave.
In this case, what choice does she have?
Therefore, the smile became the only protective net that could still exist on Sister Natalie's face at that time.
It was only in the dead of night that Ariel could sometimes secretly see her sister huddled there crying and shedding tears in a remote corner of the small garden of the Duke's Palace.
Although at that time, Ariel always had a feeling in her heart that this sister Natalie, who always maintained a sunny girl persona on the surface, must have some ulterior secrets in her heart.
But after real contact, Ariel found that she was still too prejudiced.
She was indeed ashamed of her current identity and status, and would secretly cry alone.
But after she vented her anger, she could adjust her mentality well and would not trouble the servants who gossiped behind her back. She was still so sunny and generous towards everyone.
It is impossible to say that a person has no shortcomings.
But if you can face up to your situation at that time, it may not be a shortcoming, but a good upbringing and living habit.
You know, at that time Ariel had not yet become Miss Alice's personal maid. She was just a maid with the code name No. 1026 who could be seen everywhere in the Duke's Palace.
However, when she had no background at all, Sister Natalie could smile sincerely at her. She could also sneak her into the small garden in the middle of the night and pour out all the bitterness in her stomach.
To be continued...
