Chapter 280: Jealousy
ps: At the end of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscriptions
"Your Majesty, the royal territory has been a little unstable in the past few months, and Sir John and I have been running around for the past few months!"
Luna pleaded at him in a delicate voice, unconcerned about the young king's move, and instead straightened her back to make the king more comfortable.
"Huh! Sir John is alone, what are you going to do as a financial director? β
Edward's eyes were closed, and he felt a small beanie on the back of his head, and instead he swayed mischievously and rubbed it, making Luna's face suddenly turn burgundy, and the roots of her ears flushed red.
"Your Majesty, don't I want to make a detailed count of the royal territory?"
Luna gently moved her jade hands with both hands, relaxing the King's shoulders even more, and her red lips were in Edward's ears, gently blowing hot air.
This made Edward tremble all over, and there were small bumps on his arms.
"It turns out that the sensitive part of the ear, whether it is a man or a woman, is the same!"
Edward listened to Luna's soft voice, but his heart seemed to be divergent.
"I found that the parchment recorded by the royal family was moldy, so I asked Sir John to take me around the various royal territories and have a deep understanding of the territories, but the results were shocking."
As soon as he heard about the royal family, which was related to his own interests, Edward suddenly burst into a trace of spirit, turned his head, and asked in a teasing tone, "So, what did you find?" Your Excellency My Chief Financial Officer! β
"Your Majestyβ" Luna whispered in a long voice.
"This time, I found that those records of the royal family are completely outdated!"
When Luna heard the inquiry, she straightened up and said softly, "For example, the Duchess of Cornwall, the recorded population is 26,000, and I found that the population has reached 40,000. β
"And the Duchess of Lancaster originally registered only 50,000 acres of land, and I looked at it, and the lowest was 60,000 acres, and the highest, I estimate, could reach 80,000 pounds!"
Edward was slightly surprised when he heard this number, he had already expected such a situation.
Not to mention in the sixteenth century, even in the twenty-first century, in the Great Celestial Empire, the population of concealment is not a minority.
"If it's over, let it pass!" Edward reverted to his old languid form, moved his head, found a comfortable position, and continued to lie down.
"In the future, you will be in charge of the statistics of the royal territory!"
Edward closed his eyes, exhaled softly, and said.
"You and Sir John will work together to reform all the royal territories into exactly the same according to the current 100 and 1000 districts of London, and this is your task!"
"But, I just won't see you again, and I haven't seen you for a long time!"
When Luna heard this, her red face wrinkled, her lips turned red, her eyes turned red, and she said in a disappointed tone.
"I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and too, Your Majesty is accompanied by a beautiful female secretary who hates our sisters!"
As she spoke, Luna deliberately wiped the corners of her non-existent eyes, came to Edward pitifully, looked into his eyes, and pretended to be pitiful.
"Huh!" Edward's head ached when he saw that Luna, who had always been calm, had a jealous expression.
"It's better to be little Mary, who has been recuperated by herself for a few years, and I don't care about these at all!"
Edward looked at Luna, who was pouting, sobbing from time to time, and felt some emotion in his heart.
Luna's behavior is also what Edward is used to, he has always been calm with the two maids, even if he made a mistake, he only nodded a few words and let it go, compared to Henry VIII's random killing, it was much better.
Therefore, Luna, who understands his temper, dares to be jealous in front of him.
If this was in other courts, it would have been spanked a long time ago.
"Lucy didn't tell you!" Edward took a soft breath and asked in a preemptive voice.
"Yes!" Without hesitation, Luna did not hesitate to sell her sister to Edward.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, how can I hate you two?" Edward pulled Luna in front of him, wrapped his right hand around his waist, and took the girl completely in his arms, whispering softly in her ear.
"You two have been with me for so many years, and you are so beautiful, understanding, and kind-hearted, how can I be willing to let you two leave?"
Edward sniffed vigorously on the girl's long white neck with his nose, and a peculiar aroma of his daughter's house hit his nose and lingered in his heart, and it tasted wonderful.
"Poof-" Luna burst into tears and laughed for the rare time she heard His Majesty say such sweet words of love.
"Your Majesty, how can we be as good as you say!"
"We're just a little maid, so lowly in status! How can I be worthy of you! β
As she spoke, the girl's voice slowly lowered, and gradually ceased to be a murmur on the side of her mouth, which was inaudible.
Although Edward did not hear the last few words, the general meaning was still understood.
At this point, it dawned on him why Luna was so keen to run around was just a girl's attempt to prove her worth to him.
The same was true of Lucy, who stayed with Edward, tirelessly learning the recipes of various cuisines, serving the young king as best she could, satisfying his discerning palates.
And all this comes from his age, he is already fourteen years old, and he is getting closer and closer to the age of marriage, which makes the two suddenly feel a sense of crisis.
In this regard, Edward's heart was a little touched, and the friendship he had spent so many years together suddenly rushed to his heart, which moved him a lot.
Holding the girl who was a little depressed tightly, Edward comforted: "Aren't you the royal treasurer now?" β
"I will never abandon your sisters, you must believe me!"
"After a while, when you and Sir John are done, I will take you two sisters and go to the rest of England for a visit! Luckily? β
Edward can't do anything about the gap in identity, it's innate, so he can only spend a little effort coaxing.
So, a non-existent parade plan was established and recorded in his schedule.
"Really? Your Majesty! Luna turned her head in confirmation.
Seeing Edward nodding, her originally depressed mood suddenly became happy, and she regained her former spirit.
(Of course, this will also have to wait until the local reform period is a while, and by the way, I will also go on patrol!) Edward added in his heart.
