Chapter 121: A game of chess that has been played since many years ago
"Your Majesty, the people sent out before have brought back the reply from the Hamin family, and this is a letter from there."
It had been almost a week since Morley had sent someone to the Hamin family, and the man who had gone out that day had finally returned, bringing back a beautiful letter.
Shelley glanced at the letter, which was clearly made of paper they produced here, and she smiled and said.
"My uncle's family is far away in Tailiuzhou, and there is a large state and a royal capital between us and our border state. With such a long distance, even if it is fast, it will take nearly two days. The operation speed of the World Chamber of Commerce is really fast enough, since I gave them things, it has only been more than a month, and they have already been sold there. ”
When he said this, Shelley kept staring at Morley, but the other party always maintained a respectful appearance, without the slightest fluctuation. Shelley didn't break it, took out the letter and read it.
"Ouch, unexpectedly, it was actually written by my uncle himself."
It stands to reason that there is no need to alarm the head of the family in this kind of commercial cooperation negotiation, and there are usually people who are specifically responsible for this area, even if it is Shelley, who is a princess, who proposes the need for cooperation.
Although Shelley said that he was surprised, he was actually not surprised at all. And when she read the letter, she was finally convinced of one thing, that is, the political marginalization of the Hamin family back then was completely a political show.
The protagonist of this show, in addition to the Hamin family, is King Ballylean. And everyone other than them is a spectator of this show.
And among these spectators, there are also a few VIP seats. The few people sitting in the seat were none other than several princes and princesses, including Shelley, and several other princely families with power struggles.
Shelley put away the letter with a smile on his face and asked Morley, "Morley, what do you think Uncle said above?" ”
Remember the URL http://
"You're really joking, where do I dare to speculate."
"Guess."
Mo Li had no choice but to reply: "Looking at your happy watch, I think Patriarch Hamin must have agreed to cooperate with you." ”
"That's for sure, of course, but ah, there's another thing he said above. He said he was very optimistic about my recent performance. ”
Morley's watch lit up: "Is that really what Patriarch Hamin said?" ”
Shelley didn't speak, but looked at Morley with a smile on his face. Only then did he realize that he had lost his temper, and quickly reverted to his respectful appearance.
"Butler Morley, don't pretend, do you really think that the trick between my father and uncle can deceive my eyes?"
"Uh...... This ......"
Morley began to panic, and the cold sweat on his face also flowed. He was already thinking about the words of justification, but after looking at Shelley, he gave up, and finally sighed and sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty, I have watched you grow up, and I have witnessed your ups and downs in the past few years. But it's been amazing how you've changed since you've been here, and I really don't understand why you were hiding your talent so much before that. You're different from us people, you don't have the need to hide yourself. ”
This can't be helped, crossing this kind of thing is very sudden. Of course, Shelley certainly wouldn't have said that.
"Talent is only valuable if it is hidden, and if it is too exposed, it will be sharp, and it will catch some people's eyes."
"But although you have been hiding it before, you have not been ...... by those people after that," Morley suddenly closed his mouth, as if he had missed something.
Seeing him like this, Shelley smiled: "Sure enough, my father's side knows everything, he is really ruthless, the people of a city, he really watched them become victims of politics, and he didn't think about stopping it." ”
The previous battles between the princes and princesses seemed to be in the shadows, but in fact, the king's Barry Lean knew better than anyone else.
It's ridiculous that those people still naively think that they are doing everything perfectly. As everyone knows, nothing escapes the eyes of the king.
Realizing that there was really no need to hide it, Morley said helplessly.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about showing your edge at all, if you show yourself in front of people in your current posture from the beginning, His Majesty has no need to follow the plans of those princes and princesses to deprive you of your crown prince qualification and send you to the border state. You were too weak in the eyes of His Majesty before, and his arrangements were really to protect you. ”
"But it can't be too obvious, so he already knows about being bullied after I arrived in the border state, but he can't take action, right?"
Morley nodded silently: "After all, it didn't hurt your safety, as long as those people didn't hurt your life, Your Majesty will pretend to be deaf." It's just that he didn't expect that after you got here, there would be such a huge change. This was unexpected. ”
"This person includes my uncle, right?"
"Exactly."
Shelley stretched: "But I really know how to play, you suddenly brought up the Hamin family before, does it mean that they have decided to pull me back to the chessboard?" ”
"If the envelope says bullish on you, that's it." As he spoke, Morley knelt down on one knee, "Overseer Morley, congratulations to His Majesty Shelley Lean on regaining his status as crown prince. ”
Yes, Morley's part is not just a butler who accompanies Shelley growing up and serves her daily life. He was also placed by the king's side, responsible for assessing everything about her and reporting to the overseers above. And such a person, there is one next to everyone who has the qualification of a crown prince.
"Humph!" Shelley sneered, and the whole watch turned cold, "Congratulations? ”
Morley was stunned, isn't this something to celebrate? Why didn't Shelley's watch look happy at all?
"Morley, Morley, whether you are a steward or an overseer, it doesn't change that you are one of the closest people to me. It stands to reason that you should see that I am the most real, how can you say congratulations to me because of this kind of thing? Do you think that now I will look down on a mere kingdom of Lean? ”
Shelley's words hit Morley's heart like a hammer, yes, as an overseer, his position is naturally from the Li'an Kingdom.
But if you look at the great changes that have taken place in Shelley during this time, you can understand one thing.
The Kingdom of Lean really can't afford Shelley with such ability, maybe her hiding all these years is deliberately to get herself rid of everything before, so that she can get more for herself?
This is naturally not the case, simply because Shelley before and after is not the same person. Of course, this is no longer true.
"Morley, your share should not be exposed, now that it has been exposed, it is better to make a new choice in front of me. Will I serve my father and the king as an overseer, or will I be my steward of Shelley Lean, witnessing me cover the sky and take over the world? ”
Looking at Shelley's outstretched right hand, feeling the incomparable imperial appearance emanating from her, Morley seemed to see a world quietly suspended in her hand at this moment.
Taking a deep breath, Morley had a choice, he slowly got up and assumed the standard butler stance: "Everything is as you wish." ”
"Butler Morley, a wise choice."
Later, Nika's voice suddenly came, startling Morley, and when he turned around, he realized that in addition to her, there were also Orb and Scarlet Moon, when were they here?
Looking at Shelley with a satisfied look on his face again, Morley broke out in a cold sweat, and he realized that if he had just made the wrong choice, he might have ......
"It's dead~~" Nika was speechless, and his voice said what was in his heart coldly.
Seeing his pale face, Shelley said angrily: "Nika, don't be naughty, Morley is not too young, don't scare him." ”
Shelley burst out, Nika snorted and laughed: "Ahaha, sorry, sorry, because his watch just now is so good to guess what he was thinking." I couldn't help but tease him. ”
"Huh? This...... This is? ”
Seeing that Morley was at a loss, Scarlet Moon on the side explained: "Butler Morley, you really think too much, don't you know who the princess is?" How could it be possible to kill you who watched her grow up? If you don't choose the right place just now, the most we can do is control you and don't let you leak out about this place again. ”
"I'm the one in charge of controlling you." Baozhu pointed to himself.
Shelley also said: "That's right, whether your true role is an overseer or not, it can't change that I was taken care of by you, how could I kill you." It hurts my heart that you think so. ”
It turned out that this was the case, Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little shame: "I'm sorry, princess, I usually hide it, and I'm used to it." In fact, those of us who have always pinned our heads to our waists. Because we know too many things, we will definitely not get good results in the end, and we are actually prepared for this. ”
"So, your choice is also to save your own life. Alright, now that a rock has landed, it's my turn to play chess. Shelley shook the envelope in his hand and said, "Let's start with the Hamin family." Morley, I ask you, did my father put the final decision on the throne in the hands of my uncle? ”
"You're really smart. Yes, exactly. ”
The king realized that the struggle for the throne in this realm would be more fierce than ever, and that the very foundations of the kingdom could be upended under such a power struggle.
Therefore, on the surface, it is to marginalize the Hamin family, but in fact, it is to separate the right to position and make it not affected by the struggle for power, so that he can see the situation clearly through the sight of the bystanders of the Hamin family.
Of course, these overseers who have been planted in the various forces are the most pawns.
Shelley couldn't help but clap. It's amazing, this layout, I started to install eyeliner decades ago, this kind of forbearance, this kind of compulsion, in the end, is the king of a country.
