But anything related to silver, as long as it comes to the empress, it is a big thing.

is also used to living a frugal life on weekdays, and the empress can really save money.

After all, since the founding of Sui Yang, there has never been an emperor like the empress, who only spends two hundred and eighty taels a month, and it is very shabby to speak.

Even the rouge gouache necessary for women, the empress has omitted it, but she has a good foundation and does not need to be smeared, which is enough to kill most mortal women in seconds.

But Wang Xiaolai came to this goods, just about to leave 10 million taels, not to mention, and now he is starting to ask for silver again, you say, the empress's reaction, can it not be violent.

"What do you want more money for?" Empress Dao.

Wang Xiaolai pouted speechlessly: "You don't need money to study hot air balloons, Your Majesty, you should always give me some funds, right?" ”

Wang Xiao said this, so that the empress couldn't refute it, sighed, and looked at Wang Xiaolai pitifully: "How much do you want?" ”

Wang Xiaolai stretched out a finger.

The empress was instantly overjoyed: "Ten thousand taels, you can." ”

"Go, what do you think, Your Majesty, at least one million taels, there is no cap." Wang Xiaolai said.

The empress's face became very ugly at that time: "Do you kid treat me as a money bank, saying that if you take the silver, you will take the silver, don't you have a chamber of commerce?" ”

Wang Xiaolai said: "That's not the same good cut, that's my own money." ”

The empress's eyebrows instantly raised.

Both of them were masters who refused to take half a step back on the issue of money, and they were stuck in place at that time.

Wang Xiaolai played with this guy and kept muttering: "Alas, it seems that this first air force in history is about to die, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Wang Xiaolai was nagging over there, and the more the empress thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and said that if this was because the opportunity to increase Sui Yang's military strength was lost in vain, she would not regret her death.

After making a big decision in her heart, the empress gritted her teeth and raised her head: "Isn't it just silver, I promised you." ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled at the time: "Eh, that's right, Your Majesty, if you agree earlier, there will be nothing to do." ”

As he spoke, Wang Xiaolai stretched out his hand to the empress.

The empress was stunned: "What are you doing?" ”

"Silver."

"Go, I don't have it now."

"No, Your Majesty, don't think about it."

"You think I'm just like you, I'm not the one who pays the bills at all." Empress Dao.

Wang Xiaolai: "···"

The empress sighed and said to Wang Xiaolai, "Come with me." ”

After saying that, he entered the Shou'an Palace and was in his room.

Wang Xiaolai followed behind, and when he arrived at the door, he didn't dare to go inside.

The empress had already done it, and she hadn't seen anyone come for a long time, so she turned around in surprise, looked at Wang Xiaolai and said, "Xiao Laizi, what are you doing standing at the door, come in, I'll talk to you about something." ”

Wang Xiaolai was uneasy in his heart, but he still entered the room.

Strictly speaking, Wang Xiaolai is the second time to enter the empress's boudoir, and the last time was when Wang Xiaolai sneaked out in order to deal with Dong Yuhe's incident.

At the same time, he was also the only man who was able to enter the empress's boudoir after the empress ascended the throne.

In this regard, even the Eight Sages King, who is the elder of the empress, has never been.

Sitting opposite the empress, Wang Xiaolai looked at the empress.

The empress groaned twice, looked at Wang Xiaolai and said: "Little Laizi, I might as well get to the bottom of it with you, the so-called hot air balloons and explosives in your mouth, I have seriously thought about it." You didn't come to that meeting in the morning, Uncle Huang, Duke Lu, and Lao Xiangguo also discussed it with me. ”

Wang Xiaolai pondered this sentence, and said in his heart that there was something wrong with this, as if he was rejecting the euphemistic wording of others.

"Then Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just say it directly." Wang Xiaolai said.

The Empress smiled.

As a result, Wang Xiaolai, who laughed, panicked.

"No, Your Majesty, have you changed your mind again, the silver I want is all small money, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the future Air Force."

"Moreover, the hot air balloon has been successfully developed, and it does not have to be used in combat, but can also be used to carry goods, and the speed is no slower than that on land and waterways."

The empress sneered: "Look at you scared, I didn't say anything about regret, I was just thinking about what position I put you in." ”

Wang Xiaolai: "??? ”

said that he was giving me a promotion for a long time.

At that moment, Wang Xiaolai rubbed his hands and smiled: "Your Majesty, I am actually very easy to handle, I don't need a big official, as long as I am idle enough, it is best that no one cares about me." ”

The empress raised her eyebrows: "In this way, the imperial uncle still understands you." ”

Wang Xiaolai: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?" ”

The empress said, "In the morning, when I was discussing with the emperor's uncle, he told me that you are used to being free, and you don't like to be restrained..."

Wang Xiaolai slapped the empress and interrupted the empress's words: "The eighth prince is really accurate in seeing people. ”

The empress was not angry: "Don't make a noise first, wait until I finish speaking." ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you say." ”

The empress continued: "So, Uncle Huang's proposal to me is to release you. ”

"Outside? I also have a subwoofer too. ”

"What subwoofer?" The empress was confused by Wang Xiao's words, and asked in wonder at the time.

"Oh nothing, your majesty continues."

When the empress heard this, she continued: "The so-called release is to transfer you from Daxing City to take up a local position, so that you can fade out of everyone's sight. The advantage of this is that in addition to protecting you, it will also allow you to concentrate on developing explosives and hot air balloons. It's just that I don't know what you think. ”

Wang Xiaolai couldn't help but be surprised at that time: "Is there such a good thing?" ”

The empress was not happy when she heard it: "What, listen to what you mean, I still like to go out, don't you?" ”

Wang Xiaolai: "···"

The empress snorted: "You think that if I transfer you to a local area, I won't be able to control you, right?" ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled wryly: "Then Your Majesty, I didn't mean that." ”

"Okay, what you kid is thinking, I know everything, tell you, the place I want to transfer you to is Longshou County, that place is not as desolate as Daxing City, there are many mountains and few people, and it is not as prosperous as Daxing City."

Wang Xiaolai's face fell: "Ah, Your Majesty, you want to throw me into the ravine." ”

"you, I'm here for your good, the mountains are more convenient for concealment, let you go to Longshou County, and it will be more convenient for you to develop hot air balloons and explosives."

"Then Your Majesty, you can't give me a boss to control me." Wang Xiaolai talked about the conditions.

As he spoke, he also pointed at the narcissus: "Especially not to let the narcissus follow." ”

Narcissus was not convinced: "I'm happy to follow you." ”

The empress watched the two bickering and said speechlessly: "Okay, you two don't say a word." ”

Both of them stopped.

The empress continued: "It is impossible for you to rest assured that you are alone in Longshou County, otherwise, when you are ambitious, you may do something earth-shattering." ”

Wang Xiaolai pointed to his nose: "Your Majesty, you don't believe me?" ”

Facing Wang Xiaolai's sad and indignant gaze, the empress nodded.

"Okay." Wang Xiaolai also had nothing to say.

The empress followed: "But with your person, whoever you are, can't control you, this is true, saying that it is to give you a follower, in fact, it also plays a role in supervising you, as for whether to cause trouble or not, it all depends on your consciousness." ”

The empress's words made Wang Xiaolai's eyes light up, yes, as long as it wasn't the female devil of Narcissus, who else were you afraid of?

On the side, it seemed that he could see what Wang Xiaolai was thinking, and Narcissus said quietly: "You seem to be thinking about something rude just now." ”

Wang Xiaolai: "···"

The Empress shouted outside, "Lily." ”

Outside, Lily, one of the members of the dark guard, walked in, and came in with a fist: "Your Majesty." ”

The empress pointed at Lily and said, "From now on, the five secret guards, including Lily, will be your personal guards, in addition to protecting your safety, you must also beware of any trouble." ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed, how can there be a feeling of being monitored at all times.

"You guy, don't show me that unhappy expression, my secret guards, every one of them is a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, and you should be happy to have them protect you every day."

Wang Xiaolai smiled modestly: "No, no, then again, Your Majesty, what position do you plan to give me." ”

The empress pursed her lips: "Captain of Longshou County." ”
