Because she was restrained, Bai Lilan was very annoyed, thinking that as soon as Nangong Jingchen let go, she would scratch his artery with her backhand! But before the movements in her hands began, Bai Lilan was shocked by the painting in front of her.

This...... Is it yourself?

Lifting the painting in front of her, Bai Lilan tilted her head, looked at it, pouted and said, "It looks like it but it doesn't look like it." When have I ever smiled so softly? And this look is almost able to pinch out the water. This can't be something you're obsessed with. ”

"Lewdness? What does that mean? ”

Too lazy to pay attention to him, Bai Lilan put the painting on the table casually, and said, "You are really bored here, I want to go out for a walk, you are responsible for getting your Lao Tzu, don't let him grab any handles, lest my ears suffer again." ”

"Want to get out? That's right, I also want to arrange for you to meet Li Yi, in this case, let's go to Xiangke together, okay? ”

Li Yi?

This name is very familiar, Bai Lilan thought about it carefully, and then pondered, it was the man described by the autumn frost yesterday. The guy who can let Nangong Jingchen eat with him personally should not be an ordinary character.

Rolling his eyes, Bai Lilan said, "Okay, it's idle anyway, it's good to be idle, and it's good to meet the first warrior of Lanling." ”

"You know his name, too?" Nangong Jingchen smiled and said elegantly, "However, you'd better not mention this name in front of him, because he doesn't like it." He felt that the samurai was just a warrior who won by force, and he was like a reckless man, and he was not enough to worry about. ”

"Since you don't like others to call him a samurai, then it's better to abolish your martial arts, why are you still chirping crookedly, hating the one who hates this." Baili Lan didn't pay attention to what Nangong Jingchen said at all, turned to the back of the screen, and changed into clothes that were convenient for travel.

Reluctantly put away the scroll, Nangong Jingchen only hoped that the two of them would not quarrel for a while.

Lanling's auspicious guests, although they are also under the name of Baililan, are far away from the capital, and they have their own subordinates to take care of them, so there are few people who know Baililan.

When he arrived at Xiangke, Li Yi was already waiting there, and when he saw Baili Lan and the others, he hurriedly stood up, and Shi Li said, "Xia Guan has seen the prince and the princess!" ”

"It's all your own people, you don't have to be formal, let's sit down first."

He Che pushed Nangong Jingchen into the seat, then turned around and exited the room, and carefully closed the door and guarded the door.

Seeing He Che like this, Bai Lilan also let her maids wait outside, because she knew that the two men would definitely say something shady.

After the greetings, Li Yi began to report a string of data, although he did not say what these figures were for, but Bai Lilan also speculated that these data should be Lanling's financial income for a year. After secretly calculating, Baili Lan found that this figure was worth half of the income of Bac Ninh! And the number handed over by Lanling to the capital must be less than this number, and there must be secrets that cannot be leaked.

"Lan'er, do you think these things are boring?" In between speaking, Nangong Jingchen found that Baili Lan lowered her eyebrows, thinking that she was about to fall asleep listening to these "boring" conversations, so she held her hand and said gently and considerately, "Wait a minute, you can eat." The chef here is from the capital, and the squirrel fish is very famous. ”

The squirrel Guiyu is so famous, there is no need for him to say it, Baili Lan knows much better than him, but she is more interested in the content of the conversation between the two. It seems that they have been holding back for so many years, waiting for the day when they will be strong enough to resist the rule of Emperor Bac Ninh. The current Nangong Jingchen is too lazy to pretend, the former arrogance and lewdness are all gone, and he has returned to his original self. As for this Li Yi...... Bai Lilan squinted, thinking to herself that this meticulous-looking man, what was there to make Nangong Jingchen look at him differently?

As if sensing Baili Lan's attention, Li Yi looked back sharply, and felt that it was too rude, so he hurriedly lowered his head and was respectful.

It turns out that he is also a man who can disguise!

Bai Lilan turned her gaze, looked out the window, and said lazily, "What you said is really boring, it's just Lanling's financial income for a year, and it's worth discussing it for so long." In fact, I don't want the Emperor of Beining to know, you can start from the books, you don't have to be so sneaky. ”

The faces of the two men changed in unison, as if they didn't expect Bai Lilan to guess the answer so easily. A woman in this world knows how to read and write, and she is already very remarkable if she has a little talent, and this Baili Lan also knows something about accounting.

Baili Lan smiled, Li Yi just glanced at him, then turned his gaze and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what the princess said about the account, how to do it?" ”

"It's simple. Lanling wants to make an empty account and deceive Emperor Beining, so as to hide his true strength, in fact, he can artificially create a kind of natural disaster, and constantly exaggerate it through word of mouth. This kind of natural disaster can be a plague or an abnormal astronomical phenomenon, which leads to discouragement, turbulence, reduced grain production, and sluggish market. ”

Although Bai Lilan said it very reasonably, Li Yi still had something to understand.

"There is a big loophole in the idea of the princess. Emperor Beining is not a fool, as long as he sends someone down to investigate, he will know that there are no natural disasters in Lanling at all, and the people are still living and working in peace and contentment, and there is no chaos at all, so isn't this setting a dead end for himself? ”

This method depends on how it is applied. If you don't use it properly, of course you will be killed. But if it's dealt with, there's no clue at all. Moreover, your prince and prince are all acting schools, and if you play a bitter trick in front of Emperor Beining, even if Emperor Beining is suspicious, he will believe it for half a minute. With this double insurance, why worry about the emperor of Bac Ninh not taking the bait? ”

Seeing how relaxed Baili Lan said, Li Yi leaned forward unconsciously and asked, "I wonder if the princess can think of how to act in this play?" ”

Speaking of which, the shopkeeper stood at the door with a plate of tempting and fragrant dishes, and just wanted to shout loudly, but was stopped by He Che outside the door.

"Take it down, and when our master needs it, I'll greet you."

Bai Lilan's ears were sharp, and when she heard what He Che said, she hurriedly said, "I'm hungry now, let the shopkeeper bring in the dishes." ”

He Che hesitated, and it wasn't until he heard Nangong Jingchen's order that he let the shopkeeper enter.

As soon as the shopkeeper entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was very strange. The two men looked at themselves unkindly, as if their appearance was very unwelcome, and the dazzling woman, with a lazy expression, like a luxurious Persian cat, had playful eyes. The shopkeeper thinks it's very strange, the dishes from Xiangke have always been hot, and how many people want to come to eat can't be ranked, and these people don't look like they want to eat!

Maybe it's because the eyes of these people are too hot, the shopkeeper is sweating while distributing vegetables, and in the past, he could still introduce the characteristics and origins of the dishes vividly, but now he doesn't have that interest, so he wants to finish these dishes quickly and leave here immediately!

"Hey, why do you have a worm in this dish?" When the shopkeeper was about to leave, Bai Lilan suddenly pointed to a green brewed crispy melon strip and said.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to remove the dish and make a new one for you!" The extreme nervousness in his heart made the shopkeeper break into a cold sweat as soon as he heard Bai Lilan's question, and he didn't even look at it, so he took all the fault on himself, just to be able to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was holding the plate of green stuffed crispy melon strips and leaving in a panic, Baili Lan glanced at the two men beside him proudly, and said slowly, "You all saw it, there were no insects in the dish just now, but the shopkeeper didn't dare to look at it and ran away, why is this?" Seeing the two people looking at each other, Bai Lilan said slowly, "The answer is very simple, it is just to take advantage of the panic psychology of the shopkeeper." In the same way, we can apply this phenomenon to the people. Some things did not happen, but they couldn't stand the suspicions in their hearts, and the number of times became a fact. ”

According to Baili Lan, Li Yi continued to speculate, "What the princess means is that we can make up and act out a 'disaster' by ourselves, deceive the people, and create the illusion of lagging development, thus affecting the economy of Lanling." The biggest advantage of this kind of 'disaster' is that it can control the degree of its development, but it will not shake the roots of Lanling. After muttering alone, Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found a cure, and the thief was bright, "This method is good, the princess is really a wonderful person!" ”

patted his thigh, Li Yi couldn't sit still, and he was going back to discuss it with his colleagues to see what kind of "disaster" was planned.

Seeing Li Yihuo leave as if he was burning his buttocks, Baili Lan elegantly ate the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and said with a smile, "This person is really an anxious person, saying that the wind is the rain." You're lucky to have such good subordinates. ”

Nangong Jingchen didn't know if it was okay, and after raising his chopsticks to taste, he exclaimed, "Xiangke is really worthy of its reputation and tastes good." ”

"That's natural, a time-honored brand in the capital, and the taste is naturally not bad." I hadn't eaten this familiar taste for a long time, and Baili Lan had a great appetite and ate a lot unconsciously.

Looking at Baili Lan's appearance of feasting, Nangong Jingchen felt very cute. Stretching out his hand to wipe the rice from the corner of his mouth, Nangong Jingchen asked as if unintentionally, "Lan'er, did you really want to share my worries just now, so you said that idea?" ”

After taking a sip of chrysanthemum tea, the greasy feeling in the mouth disappeared, and the elegant chrysanthemum aroma swept the entire taste buds. Putting down the teacup, Baili Lan said honestly, "Not really." I can foresee that the two of you will definitely continue to discuss unappetizing topics at the dinner table, and I am afraid of indigestion, so I will find a way to throw it at him, who knows that he really gives face, and he will run back as a treasure. But in this case, it is exactly what I want. It's just that with such a big table of dishes, the two of us must not be able to eat them all, such a good thing, what a waste. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jingchen shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Lan'er, in fact, you don't have to be so honest. ”

After dinner, Baili Lan and Nangong Jingchen walked along the street, one in front of the other, and the shadows were very close. Because Nangong Jingchen's wheelchair is very unique, the people can know at a glance that these two are the newly married prince and concubine. The two people like a golden boy and a jade girl stand together like a painting, like a dream. Because of the gap in identity, the people did not dare to approach Nangong Jingchen, and they stopped at a long distance, looking respectful, but their eyes were full of joy and longing.
