Meng Lang frowned and now looked at Ariel, who had completely closed her eyes and no longer looked at anyone here. Obviously, the crown prince''s mood is also very complex. On the one hand, he really values the girl''s courage and vision. But on the other hand, I never thought that her bet was to change the ancestral law! This is not something you can easily promise.


    At that moment, he shook his head very upset and said, "I''m not free now. Let the teachers come back later."


    The soldiers outside the door answered. But after a while, the soldier''s voice sounded again and said, "Your Highness, the head of the Department said it doesn''t matter to wait, but if you want to come in and wait, it''s a little... Cold outside."


    When this sentence came into the door, it suddenly made the fierce waves laugh. 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 seeing this expression, the teacher knows what step has been taken now. Without asking, he skipped Ariel''s side, saluted the two princes in front, then saluted the Duke of golden fruit, was given a seat, sat on a soft leather bench and waited.


    "Your Highness! I... I''ve recalculated! "


    The tax official quickly looked at the accounts in his hand and said loudly——


    "Obviously, although the introduction of flower goblins is a merit, the tax exemption limit is only 1% at most. And that strange car is nothing interesting at all! Overall, the tax amount of mermaid song should be 14%! Should pay 250 gold 7 Silver 5 copper 2 iron taxes! In other words, after the mermaid song has experienced the past three years, its current capital should be 956 Gold 3 silver 9 copper 2 iron! This data will never be wrong again! "


    Although Ariel had long known such a result.


    But when she heard the figure coming out of the tax official''s mouth, she couldn''t help shivering.


    956 Kim... In other words, this figure has proved her failure... Right?


    Slowly, Ariel opened her eyes again.


    What came into sight was the relaxed smile of Duke Jinguo, the gloating expression of the tidal prince, and the crown prince''s slightly relieved look.


    So


    Why did you lose?


    Hehe, should this reason be changed into why you can''t win and shouldn''t win?


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


    Meng Lang''s face wore a relaxed smile and comforted Ariel here.


    In this regard, the only thing Ariel can do is to continue to hang that smile on her face, then lift her skirt and salute slowly to the big people on the scene again, showing her humility and elegance as a maid.


    Duke Jinguo clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Ariel, you have done really well in the past three years. Quan Dang showed us a very wonderful and interesting play. I believe your story will be changed into an opera in the future, and it will be very popular at that time. "


    "Opera? I like this very much. "


    The tide also said——


    "And recently I''m considering writing a wonderful song and dance play for the opera company. I think the maid''s story is really very good! Well, let me see... "


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


    "Yes! That''s it! The daughter of a noble family, this beautiful young lady is full of dreams and has a very excellent spirit of adventure. She didn''t want to obey the established marriage contract arranged by the family to marry the royal family, hoping to break out of the sky alone, so she secretly ran away from home one day, left a letter with a sum of money, and vowed to use three years to prove that she didn''t just have to marry the prince! "


    "Later, the young lady established a small guild by relying on her sword skills she had learned since childhood and operated silently. 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 established by the eldest lady by chance. Two people don''t know each other''s identity, but they don''t like each other at the beginning. After three years of bit by bit, they have a good feeling for each other. Then when the three-year deadline is about to arrive, both sides feel that they want to go back and marry someone they don''t know at all. Instead, they want to separate from the other party they love most, so it''s very painful. "


    "At the end of the song and dance drama, the prince wants to escape with the eldest lady and go far away. But the eldest lady was still caught by her parents and taken back. And the prince, persuaded by the loyal housekeeper, returned to the imperial city with a broken heart. Then, then, ah, the climax came! "


    The tide opened his hands hard, and his eyes looked very energetic——


    "The ending of the story is arranged at the wedding. When both men and women see their wife and husband at the wedding, they are the one they have always been thinking about. The whole song and dance drama ends with a happy large-scale dance ending! Well, I have a hunch that this will become a very wonderful script! Brother, what do you think? "


    Seeing that his brother was asking for his own opinions now, menglang was a little excited for a while. Then he smiled, nodded again and again and said, "well, it''s good, it''s really good! I feel wonderful just listening to it. The love opera between the female knight and the imperial prince must be very sensational. "


    At this point, the Duke of golden fruit over there could not help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "congratulations to your Highness the second prince for thinking of such an excellent script! Let me see... Yes, yes, yes! A sweet love story, or a comedy ending, must be very attractive! There will be violent dramatic conflicts between male and female protagonists, which will be very good-looking. "


    Meng Lang smiled and nodded: "yes, and it can highlight the heroine. The independence of the daughter highlights the strength and courage of the noble girl. Ariel, what do you think? I think this script is very good. You see, this script obviously praises that girls can also have their own dreams. "


    The tide rubbed his hands, flashing a bright light in his eyes and said, "it''s really good. Just think about it and you''ll feel inspired! Yes, an excellent young lady, through her own efforts, finally succeeded in overcoming all difficulties, and finally became the imperial concubine of the imperial prince with everyone''s blessing! Is there a better story than this? "


    Duke Jinguo: "I think we can also add a villain woman. This villain woman also wants to marry the prince and be the imperial concubine, so she tries her best to destroy the feelings between the prince and the noble girl and intersperse misunderstandings between them."


    The tide patted his thigh: "father-in-law, you are really talented! In this way, you can fill in many scenes full of dramatic conflicts, and the audience will be nervous about the twists and turns of men''s and women''s feelings! Yes, that''s it! "


    Duke Jinguo laughed. He turned his head, looked at Ariel here, smiled slowly and said, "Ariel, will you also feel very happy? Your adventure story of the past three years will be adapted by your Highness the second prince 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.


    The maid.


    Ariel Garcia.


    The slave named after the doll''s last name.


    She''s smiling now.


    Incomparably brilliant, incomparably happy to smile.


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


    Her eyes smile into the most perfect crescent moon, and her mouth evokes the most appropriate angle. All these make her smile full of standard and perfect pronouns.


    Will not laugh too exaggerated, disgusting, and will not give people a perfunctory smile.


    I believe that as long as an ordinary man sees her such a perfect smile, he can''t help falling in love with such a gentle, virtuous, lovely, charming and polite girl.


    She is smiling so beautiful, so flawless, so generous.


    With her smile, the maid''s hands held the skirt of the maid''s skirt again, her left foot retreated slightly, her whole body pressed slowly, saluted the nobles in front of her with the most standard etiquette, and said——


    "It''s my... Greatest honor to be recognized by your highness."


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


    The fierce wave slapped the table and smiled. He turned his head and saw that his brother was also looking at the maid with a conquering look. After thinking about it, he said——


    "Tide, golden fruit, I think so. You see, although Ariel is said to be a maid, she is also making great efforts to contribute to the economy of our empire. And I can see that she is obedient and willing to obey. If such a clever girl is only used as a maid, it will be a waste. "


    The tide was slightly stunned and turned to look at his brother. It seemed that he couldn''t understand what the emperor brother meant now.
