Tanyou finished eating the melon seeds in her hand, clapped her hands, and stood up, "Then can you still find her? Let's go take a look tonight?"
Hua Ling thought for a while, "Probably... ok, since she has appeared, she should not be far away from the prince. Isn't she just for the prince?"
Tanyou nodded, "I want to see which family of good women that idiot prince has let down, so that even if they can't reincarnate, they still have to pester him."
Well, even though I am haunted by ghosts and don’t know it.
Hua Ling was also puzzled. Even in this state, he couldn't touch his body, nor could he pose any threat to others. It was really strange.
However, after all, Li Chengyu wants to become a flower spirit man in the future, she can't just sit back and ignore it, right?
"By the way, Ming Feng, do you want to come together tonight?" Hua Ling thought of the beautiful male fox.
Gardenia shook her head, "I'm afraid not? He might be busy hooking up with some girl at night!"
Tanyou: "Maybe a woman from a good family!"
Hua Ling groaned and thought to herself, whether it is a female vixen or a male vixen, who likes to seduce other people's good-looking men or women, they are all qualified vixens. This is a privilege that only vixens have, she thought.
No, because she is a flower essence. Gardenia said that people who do that kind of thing are called vixens. Although there is nothing wrong with being a vixen, she actually still likes being a flower essence...
In the afternoon, when Li Chenglan let him come back, it was already too late. He couldn't listen to the show, so he quickly returned to the palace to find Hua Ling.
When Hua Ling saw him coming back, she put down the plate of fruit in her hand and wiped her mouth, "Prince, you are back!"
Li Chengyu hummed, "Sorry, I missed my appointment today."
Hua Ling didn't care, all she was thinking about today was how to meet the female ghost she saw yesterday at night.
"It's okay, it's okay, Your Majesty is very busy every day! I know, I won't blame you!"
The considerate flower essence needs to understand its man!
Li Chengyu nodded, "I can take you out to play tomorrow."
Hua Ling blinked and said, "Aren't you busy tomorrow?"
"Well, Xiumu."
Hua Ling didn't know what Xiu Mu meant, but it was a good idea not to be busy, so she didn't get too entangled and happily pulled Li Chengyu to eat.
Li Chengyu helplessly let her pull him, looking at her with a smile, this snack foodie.
Li Chengyu looked at Hua Ling...with his mouth full of oil, he chewed on the crystal elbow and smiled at him...
"Do you want to eat, Your Majesty?"
Li Chengyu shook his head, put the fan in his hand against her wrist and pushed it in her direction. This action was quite disgusting.
Hua Ling didn't care. She didn't know what the prince was thinking. In fact, she was just being polite~
I don’t want to feed my big elbow to others! I don’t even have enough to eat!
"Well, by the way, my lord, have you had any confidante before?"
Li Chengyu raised his head, not knowing why, "What?" Seeing that she was holding the half-eaten elbow and looking at him without blinking, Li Chengyu said: "Well... that's natural. I, the King, have been doing this for so many years.
There are still some confidants and the like."
Hua Ling asked again: "Are there any women there?"
Li Chengyu said: "Naturally."
Hua Ling asked: "Are there any deceased people?"
Li Chengyu didn't understand why Hua Ling was curious about this, but he still answered her, "There are also deceased people who went to the battlefield with me but never came back..."
Hua Ling looked at Li Chengyu, not missing that moment of loneliness, "Then, is there a woman?"
Li Chengyu was stunned for a moment and thought about it carefully, the woman...
"That's not entirely clear."
Some of the women Li Chengyu met were women who were prostitutes in brothels but not prostitutes. They had no choice but to end up here. Li Chengyu helped all those who could redeem themselves, and some were willing to do so. Everyone has their own ambitions, and Li Chengyu respected them.
And some are women from the social world, the kind who drink harder than men, who can fight thieves. They usually get acquainted, just have a drink, chat, and then disperse. You don’t know when or if you can meet again.
I didn’t know that there is another kind of scholarly women from famous families. These women who are now out of the government, those who have become a monk, and those who have become a monk... In short, they are all living a good life.
Hua Ling said nothing and continued to chew her elbow.
Li Chengyu asked strangely: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Hua Ling immediately shook her head, "No!"
Li Chengyu: "..."
Why are you not so loud? You scared me!
Hua Ling kept chewing her elbow, and her big eyes were wandering around...
Li Chengyu looked at her expression becoming more and more suspicious, making Hua Ling feel weak.
Wow! What are you looking at? I’m not trying to help you! You!
In desperation, Hua Ling quickly dropped another topic: "No, but, Your Majesty, Mu Lin looks very good, everything is fine, but why do you often have to fight?"
Her obedient book, every time it described a war, the people were displaced, soldiers died on the battlefield, no bones were left, and smoke was everywhere. It was so miserable. But Mu Lin was always fighting, but the people in the city and the scene here, in Hualing
In my eyes and in the words I heard, they were different.
Li Chengyu: "Part of it is because Mu Lin's treasury is abundant."
When the late emperor was here, he focused on frugality and never made any unnecessary extravagance or large-scale construction. People paid taxes on time. Basically, 10% of the money in the treasury went in and 30% went out. Most of it was saved.
At some point in time, the late emperor would have a whim, and the tax would be halved for three years.
Although there were several years of war at that time, as at that time, as now, as long as Mu Lin's soldiers were there, the enemy would never step into the city. And because the national treasury was abundant, there was never any problem in this regard.
Increase taxes, as always.
"Mu Lin has strong financial resources, one of the best among all countries. Because of this, even if the wars continue in these years, although the money in the national treasury is not as rich as when my father was in power, it is still enough, and it is not enough to draw money from the people.
We will raise taxes to maintain it, so at this point, it will not increase the burden on the people, and as long as our Mulin soldiers are here, we will avoid the war from affecting our Mulin people to the greatest extent."
Hua Ling looked at Li Chengyu. When they chatted, most of them talked about her. Li Chengyu liked her to tell him some stories. Although what Hua Ling said was true, Li Chengyu always took it seriously.
Zuo is what he said.
However, Hua Ling also listened to him talk about his affairs. Most of them were about national justice and the like, how he went to the military camp and how he wore armor and went into battle. It was really the history of the God of War's training!
Every time at this time, Hua Ling looked at his eyes, and she always felt that there was light in them, the kind that shone, and was very charming. Hua Ling would be attracted to him unconsciously. What is this called...
Well, yes, Tanyou said, this situation should be called seducing, and she is the one being seduced...
To seduce or attract? Oops, Hua Ling thought, it’s almost the same anyway!
"But," Hua Ling was a little curious, "Why do you keep fighting? What grudges do you have with each other?"
Li Chengyu choked. It was Bei Hen who started fighting with Mu Lin most often. Looking at the reason, to be honest, Mu Lin was really unreasonable about this matter.
This matter must start from a long, long time ago...
I think back then, when Li Chengyu's grandfather, Emperor Taizu, was in power, the relationship between the two countries in Beihen, which was adjacent to Mu Lin, was not particularly friendly, but it was not such that they would start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
the point.
This matter is being discussed behind the scenes. To be honest, it was the Emperor Taizu himself who did it.
I think back then, Mu Lin was considered a big country just like it is now. Envoys from various countries came to pay homage, including Beihen. However, the current development of Beihen can be considered to be on an equal footing with Mu Lin.
For some reason, Grandpa Taizu just didn't like Beihen's envoys. The most important thing was that Beihen didn't like him.
Later, Li Chengyu heard from his father that there was actually some reason for this. The relationship between the two countries had been on good terms for a while, and when the relationship was frozen, it always started with the princess.
Back then, a princess from Mu Lin married Bei Hen. That princess was once one of Grandpa Taizu's favorites. She was really reluctant to let her marry Bei Hen. But what's helpless is that now the entire palace is suitable for
, she was the only one who could go. Considering the overall situation of maintaining the relationship between the two countries, Grandpa Taizu still let her go.
But this is a princess. Li Chengyu once heard from his father that she is of a noble body and is very delicate. She usually suffers from minor illnesses and disasters when the weather is cold.
Before he reached Beihen, he became homesick and died of illness due to the unsuitable water and soil conditions in the land.
When Li Chengyu heard this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, huh?
Originally, when Beihen came to ask for a marriage, Grandpa Taizu was very reluctant to let the princess marry far away. The princess he loved the most died, and the princess's mother-in-law made trouble every day, and finally committed suicide.
It just so happened that the concubine he was doting on was his favorite. Grandpa Taizu was also old at that time. He lost his beloved daughter, his beloved concubine, and later blamed Bei Hen for the incident.
Afterwards, he kept looking for trouble for Bei Hen, for this and that, in short, he would be picked out for trouble. In short, he was looking for trouble.
It seems that Beihen is a small country compared to Mu Lin, and the emperor is also cowardly. He endures it again and again, just like a dumpster.
Liang Zi was forged by Grandpa Taizu. Later, two years before Taizu left, the new leader of Beihen came to the throne. He recruited troops and made many plans, just to get back the anger he had suffered all those years ago.
In the past two years, Taizu has grown old and the country has become too peaceful, so he can only continue to stir up troubles. The brothers in the royal family are busy plotting for the throne and scheming against each other. How can they have time to care about a little Bei Hen?
?
Two years later, after Grandpa Taizu left, Li Chengyu's father succeeded in ascending the throne. Another two or three years later, Grandpa Taizu left him a gift based on his actions in his old age!
Beihen has started a war with Mu Linguo. Good guy, it has only been two years since he took the throne, and he is already starting a war? This is not a good sign.
For the first time, Mu Lin was not fully prepared. He was tortured by Bei Hen to the point where he could not be said to have the power to fight back, but he lost in despair.
To be honest, Beihen's first war was just to vent his anger. He really didn't want to take over Mu Lin. If he really thought so, there would be a 70% chance of failure, but that time Mu Lin also suffered a huge loss because of it.
Less money.
Li Chengyu's father was a wise king, well planned and shrewd, otherwise he would not have successfully won this position.
After so many years of prosperous times, Mu Linguo has also been somewhat emphasizing culture over martial arts in the past two years.
