Alien landlady

Chapter 267 Chatting on the Terrace
When Farrell came to the guild, he walked to the second floor familiarly. Burrow sat at the door typing documents, said good afternoon to each other, got up and opened the door for him to let him in, without even announcing.

Bai Tongtong was sitting on the black-leaf vine reclining chair on the terrace reading a book. She lacked the common sense knowledge that many magicians know, and could only make up for it by reading a lot at ordinary times.

Farrell dragged a chair over by himself, and cast a sound-shielding barrier around the open air. While eating the biscuits on the coffee table, the two chatted about the bustle of the capital this morning. Bai Tongtong was actually quite surprised. His Majesty Askem IV moved so quickly, he just made a separate statement yesterday, and decided to do it early this morning. He really is a king with courage and action.

"If he's lucky, he might become the first emperor of the empire." Bai Tongtong took a bite of the jam-filled biscuit and said vaguely.

"You really hope so?"

"Old people have the benefits of being old. Crown Prince Booker is still a novice in politics. If all goes well, the old king will be emperor for a few years first, and all aspects of power will be settled. After the crown prince succeeds, the whole country will be considered a smooth transition. If the king dies halfway, the annexation plan will definitely be postponed, and my poor island will have to wait for a few more years."

"It turns out that everything is for the island."

"As a magician, of course the reason is for the island. The other reasons are to persuade ministers, officials and nobles, don't involve me." Bai Tongtong gave Farrell a white look.

"In any case, Your Majesty is moved by this plan, but it will be announced to the crown prince and ministers in a few days."

"Of course, the crown prince has to adapt to his new role, not to mention that you haven't written out your detailed plan."

"I still want to find believers from those two minorities, and I don't know if there are any in the country."

"If not, according to the historical records, we should compile two. Anyway, the church should not be allowed to meddle in national politics every day. Religion can only be one of the tools for the ruler to rule the country, not the other way around. Go, let them know the rules, if they cross the line, they will be beaten, unless they become the rulers of the country, but then I will definitely walk away, and then I will definitely plunder all the wealth before leaving, without leaving a single coin Down."

"That's a good idea. If they make trouble for the magicians, stimulate them, seize power and establish a religious state if they have the ability, otherwise don't even think about stepping on the heads of the magicians." Farrell had a flash of inspiration, Clap your hands.

"You want to start a civil war?"

"They don't have the guts, don't worry, they have been beaten up by magicians a few times, and they have long been scared psychologically. They just have a sharp mouth, and their ability to preach and preach is first-rate. The people are illiterate, and those who can go to church schools are educated." Children of rich people and noble families, ordinary people don’t even know where the gate of the school is.”

"Then why do you want to provoke them so much?"

"Being idle is idle. It will take at least a few years before the Kingdom of Rebjanik becomes the religious kingdom of Rebjanik. For such a long time, I have to find something to do for myself."

"Hmph, let the magicians stimulate them with their mouths, and they see that the neighboring country may change its political system into a religious country, and the Pope may move back. During this whole process, the domestic church will definitely be ready to move, and it will be much earlier. Contact me once, provide help, and then leave countless evidence for you, and when the time is right, catch the current one and properly commit the crime of rebellion." Bai Tongtong narrowed his eyes and understood Farrell's meaning.

"They are the richest. They are richer than the Magician Guild. Building an empire requires a lot of money. The preparation work in the early stage requires a lot of money. Without money, nothing can be done."

"Don't forget to remind Your Majesty to take back the excessive power in the hands of the lords. The empire must adopt centralized politics, and it cannot be scattered and disorderly like it is now. It is a shame that His Majesty the King can't control the little nobles under him."

"Take back their power, and the nobles will rebel."

"Didn't I say that if you dare to rebel, try it. Anyway, there are so many honorable nobles. If you destroy the old nobles and replace them with new ones, you must support the new rules."

"This is your strategy to start a civil war."

"The nobles with the most private soldiers are not as good as His Majesty's army. If there is no civil war, Ah Huang can clean them up in one night. It just happens to be another active criminal. Cut off a few heads and support a few more." When the new nobles come up, the rest of the old nobles will be obedient. If you tell them to go east, they will never go west, south or north. It is faster to dream of building a new empire if some people don’t die." Bai Tongtong suddenly Thinking of the master and others, "Your Majesty still has such a powerful secret army. The nobles who want to die themselves should just let them be merciful."

Farrell suddenly let out a long sigh, "You also have a good mouth."

"Well, you have praised me so many times."

"You know that any suggestion you have now will be taken seriously. If you simply say a word, many people will study whether it is feasible. Just save me a little trouble. When someone consults your opinion and you don't know the cause and effect When you understand it, don’t mess around with others.”

"Of order, Mr. Baldrick, chief clerk." Bai Tongtong picked up a biscuit from the plate with a playful smile, and gestured a messy military salute.

Farrell was amused, snatched the biscuit from Bai Tongtong's hand with the wind, stuffed it into his mouth, then left the office in a big way, and went to the kitchen to peek at the lunch menu.

After lunch with all the mages, they also occupied the white reclining chairs, took a comfortable nap on the terrace in the warm and comfortable sunshine, and returned to the elders' house full of energy to continue playing brain games with ministers and officials.

The situation in the afternoon was even more tense. The various forces that should have heard the news had already learned the details. Everyone who heard the news was shocked by the removal of the crown prince's qualifications. Sentiment, the soldiers arrested people everywhere in the city, and even the civilians started small-scale discussions.Because this consequence was caused by the crown prince's leak, the public's reaction was fairly stable. At most, they cursed a few words, and hoped that the new crown prince would stop doing anything he regretted.

The direct suspects related to the leaking case were all secretly arrested by Farrell. Harding was watching in the dark. No one escaped. As a boundary, the house became a huge rock body wrapped up, and the immediate family members and servants were all taken by the soldiers to other places to resettle until the case was concluded.

Close relatives such as their parents, brothers and sisters were placed under residential surveillance to investigate whether they were involved, and some suspects might be unearthed and jailed.The crown prince's natal family is also among them. Although the family is powerful, it depends on who is offended. Farrell doesn't care about it. Besides, this is a case of leaking that can be labeled as treason, which is enough to make their family lose everything. Friends, who is not afraid of being implicated and investigated, there will be no one who comes out to intercede.

In the afternoon, the new crown prince and concubine moved into the palace dedicated to the crown prince with her family. Everything was so hasty. The previous owner's personal belongings were still being packed before the new owner arrived, and even the children I didn't even have time to allocate the bedrooms. Tonight, I have to let a pair of sisters sleep on the same bed, and the servants will clean out a new bedroom overnight.

Crown Prince Booker's wife, Crown Princess Amira, is actually pregnant with her fourth child, and she is already in the second trimester. This has somewhat affected her ability to perform the duties of the Crown Princess. She has been in high spirits since the morning and directed the servants to pack clothes and supplies. , to being surrounded by guards and walking into this new palace, these few hours made her so tired that she just wanted to go to bed, but she had to take care of the children and not make trouble for everyone, because even with The personal servants who came with them were all busy.

Fortunately, a few female magicians came later, and the leading Mage Bai was the president's wife. The magic world always supports the crown prince. They were appointed by the president to come over to check on the situation, especially the pregnant Amira. Does the Crown Princess need any help.

The wife left some potions for the crown princess, which can help her survive this busy period. Princess Amira is very grateful to the magicians for their help.

Ah Huang stayed with the eldest prince and his family all day in the royal territory, watching them settle down, and the princess didn't have any suicidal thoughts for the time being, so it left. As for whether she will commit suicide in the future, it doesn't bother to care about it, anyway, don't worry about it. It's fine when it faces death and life, not to mention that even if she dies, the reality cannot be changed. Crown Prince Booker will not be so stupid as to give up this heavenly opportunity to others.

Farrell was still besieged by ministers, officials and aristocrats, and various invitations were sent to him like a flood. Crown Prince Booker also invited him to the celebration dinner to become crown prince. Many smart people even sent invitations to Bai Tongtong. The news that Ah Huang supervised the eldest prince's family going to the royal territory had already spread, and it was obvious that Baroness Salter was also involved.

Bai Tongtong felt a headache when she saw these invitations. She couldn't tell which camp these people were in. She didn't even know the names of many of them. She didn't know where they were cats and dogs, so she packed them up and sent them to Farley. Er, let him figure it out.

Farrell quickly threw the invitation from Prince Booker and told her to get the gown ready, and they went together, as allies would do in the future, and they could use each other as excuses.

Bai Tongtong thinks this is a good idea. She doesn't have to spend a lot of time socializing and affecting her work. Farrell can also escape from all kinds of heavy entertainment. Many social occasions are attended by men and women, and attending alone will cause people to laugh. Men are better off, but women will be ridiculed miserably, which is one of the reasons why Bai Tongtong is not very interested in the social interactions of nobles.

For the new crown prince's dinner, Bai Tongtong went to the capital the next day to order a new dress from a tailor he knew well. By the way, he also dragged Xiao Er to make some dresses and casual clothes for him.

Seeing Xiao Er's eyes were as warm as the sun, the tailor greeted him enthusiastically, walked around him countless times, measured his size personally, asked his assistants and apprentices to bring out men's fabrics for him to choose slowly, and then invited Bai Tongtong to come The studio at the back serves her wholeheartedly, showing her the latest designs of women's dresses and the latest fabrics, because they are old acquaintances, and they don't have too many scruples when speaking. The tailor keeps praising Shaw as a rare He is a handsome man with perfect appearance and body proportions. The only person in Wangdu who can compare with him is Mr. Baldrick, the chief clerk.

Bai Tongtong proudly expressed that Xiao Er is her new knight, and there will be many opportunities to hear about him in the capital in the future.

At noon that day, the resting tailor told the neighbors on both sides about Bai Tongtong's handsome knight, and it quickly spread in the circles of the capital. When the president heard about it, he immediately thought of Culver. The special knight Shaw, with the same name, it is hard not to think that it is him, but how did that person become a white knight? The president thinks it is better not to inquire about him.

But the magicians in the guild would not be so polite. They heard that Bai Tongtong had a knight, and came to inquire curiously. Irene and the others immediately thought of the handsome young man who suddenly appeared in the guild and went to the capital with Bai Tongtong. He was so handsome. It made people want to faint in his arms, but he disappeared after he came back, and he was not their official colleague, which made people feel strange, but since he announced that he was a knight in front of outsiders, then he must be in the near future will be introduced to everyone.Thinking about it this way, Irene and the others are not so anxious to know about the handsome knight.

It took the tailor three days to make Bai Tongtong's first new dress. There were no complicated color schemes and cumbersome lace decorations. Everything was in accordance with Bai Tongtong's usual simplicity, because the fabric was embedded with gold and silver threads when weaving. As long as it is matched with an ingenious design, it becomes a magnificent dress, and the night in the royal capital in April is still a bit cold, so an extra burqa is worn outside the dress.

The celebration dinner for the new crown prince was just recently. After Bai Tongtong tried it on, he felt that there was no problem, so he asked the tailor to hurry up and finish the work. He also asked Xiao Er, who came with him, to try on his casual clothes, and took two sets away on the spot. Wait a minute, his new boots are also ordered here. The shoemaker specially took his foot shape to make a wooden foot model for him when he came last time, and then wait for the slow work to produce detailed work. The production cycle of a pair of standard riding boots for knights Three months is a common occurrence, so what Bai Tongtong asked was to make the short boots that go with casual clothes first, which can be made in one month.

Two days later in the morning, on the day of the crown prince's canonization ceremony, the tailor sent someone to send the formally completed gown to the guild, and put it on a movable wooden mannequin with wheels. He was led by Ah Huang along the wall and sent directly to the cloakroom upstairs. The receptionists in the hall didn't even see the color of the dress.

That afternoon, Bai Tongtong put down her work, took a hot bath, and then asked Irene and Sai Luo to help her with aromatherapy, massage, make-up and changing clothes. With the assistance of other little maids, she finally dressed up enough to attend the palace dinner.
