The princess is so sweet and charming that she can't escape if she offends the prince.

Chapter 44: A doting concubine, a cute girl with big eyes, and a sickly beauty
Xiao Lan was also stunned. The two looked at each other, and something inexplicable seemed to be floating in the air.

Ruan Ning hurriedly withdrew his hand and said in a panic: "Should we leave? I'll go and clean up."

Xiao Lan didn't say anything else, only a "hmm" escaped from her throat.

*
After the two entered the city, they went to meet Pei Jing and Qin Huai.

In the teahouse, Ruan Ning and Xiao Lan were sitting opposite each other. The awkward mood in the morning had long since faded away. She now had more important things to know.Ruan Ning moved quietly to Xiao Lan's side, raised her face and asked, "Do I really grind my teeth when I sleep?"

Xiao Lan glanced at her and uttered one word with her thin lips: "Yes."

Ruan Ning couldn't accept it and said tentatively: "Tell me, is it possible that you heard it wrong? It might be the cicadas chirping outside, or, maybe you are dreaming."

Xiao Lan tapped her fingertips on the table, looked at her, and said quietly: "What do you think."

Ruan Ning pursed his lips with a painful expression: "I think you are retaliating because I took your quilt last night."

Xiao Lan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, not wanting to talk to her any more.

The two people stopped talking, but the person behind them was very excited. Pei Jing strode over with a look of shock on his face: "What, who snatched whose quilt?"

When Ruan Ning saw them coming, he immediately moved back to his original position. Of course, Xiao Lan would not say anything, so he changed the subject and said, "Have you finished all your things?"

Pei Jingcheng nodded: "Yes, your people have been found, too. Just in time, you go to do things, and we will take Miss Ruan back to the capital."

Xiao Lan originally planned to do so, so he nodded: "That's fine."

Speaking of what Xiao Lan wanted to do, Pei Jing couldn't help but shake his head: "I think this Liuzhou prefect is a tough guy and will be difficult to handle."

At this point, he made a turn, looked at Ruan Ning, and said meaningfully: "But if we have Miss Ruan's help, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lan and Ruan Ning turned to look at him at the same time.Ruan Ning was confused: "What does it have to do with me? I don't understand the things in the court."

Xiao Lan frowned slightly: "What are you doing with her?"

Pei Jing knew that Xiao Lan couldn't say anything, so he threw an olive branch to Ruan Ning, leaned close to her and whispered:
"He wanted to go to the prefect of Liuzhou to discuss matters, but the prefect didn't want to cooperate. Every time we met, he always talked about other things. He even got a group of women to harass him, and he couldn't talk about business at all. I suggested him to bring a woman there. , to deal with the women in the prefect's house, but he is a mysophobic person and is unwilling to cooperate."

At this point, he paused and finally mentioned the key point: "I'm not thinking about it. You two have a good relationship and he has helped you a lot. Can I..."

"Row."

"What is my personality? A pampered concubine, a cute girl with big eyes, a sickly beauty, or aloof."

Seeing Xiao Lan staring at her, Ruan Ning thought he didn't believe her, so he quickly said: "I can handle it, and I'm the best at acting."

She didn't want to owe any favors. For someone like Xiao Lan who didn't need anything, she couldn't do anything else, but she could still help with a little effort.

Xiao Lan thought for two seconds and then looked at Ruan Ning's face. This plan is indeed feasible. In terms of character...

"Just act as you are."

*
This time, Xiao Lan was ordered by His Majesty to discuss the salt control issue with the Liuzhou Prefect. As for why he was asked to handle it, it was because Xiao Lan had successfully implemented local system changes in Liangzhou before.Change is never easy, and people who follow the old ways have long been ingrained in their ideas. Moreover, the profits involved in selling salt are huge, so no one is willing to let go.Cao Songshan, the governor of Liuzhou, is a typical example.

"After you go, if those women come close to you again, you don't have to be merciful and just drive them away. It doesn't matter if you make rude demands. The more arrogant the better."

Ruan Ning, who was changing clothes in the room, started to hear something was wrong. He hurriedly put on his belt and came out: "Your Majesty, do you think I am the kind of unreasonable person?"

He still acted his true self, but she still wanted to help him.

After the words fell, Xiao Lan did not answer. Ruan Ning looked up and found that he was staring at her, his brows furrowed, as if he was not very satisfied with his dress.

In order to cater to her status, she specially bought a more elegant skirt, which highlighted her curved figure. She also wore heavy makeup that was completely different from usual. There were also plum blossoms painted on the sides of her cheekbones to ensure her accuracy. No one could recognize her.

Ruan Ning turned around: "Does it look good? Is there anything wrong with it?"

Xiao Lan stepped forward, his eyes swept from her exposed neck to the rising and falling chest, and finally settled on her arms. His voice was a little low: "Are your clothes too see-through?"

Ruan Ning tilted his head: "No, this gauze is a bit thin, but it doesn't show anywhere. They said that all the dancers here wear it, and it can be covered up with a shawl later."

After she finished speaking, she stepped forward and took Xiao Lan's arm. She pressed her face against his arm and said in her voice, "My lord, please tell me if I look good in this~"

Xiao Lan froze, and the next second, Ruan Ning said proudly: "Isn't it just this artificial feeling?"

Xiao Lan turned her hand into a fist, put it against her lips and coughed softly: "Well, let's go."

Prefect's House.

As soon as Ruan Ning entered the courtyard, he was blinded by the magnificent decoration. This place in Liuzhou is really extraordinary. From the outside, they looked unattractive, but in the end, each one was richer than the other.

When Cao Songshan saw Xiao Lan coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "The prince is here, hurry, hurry up and wait for him."

After giving the order, a scene that made Ruan Ning even more stunned came. He saw a dozen girls suddenly pouring out from all directions, swarming towards Xiao Lan, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Xiao Lan took a half-step back with a sullen face. As soon as Ruan Ning saw her chance to show off, she quickly stepped forward and wanted to get into Xiao Lan's arms. She twisted and said, "My lord, who are they?" ?”

As soon as she opened her mouth, Cao Songshan saw a beauty following Xiao Lan. His eyes were filled with tears: "Hey, the prince has brought the girl here?"

Xiao Lan raised her hand and put her arm around Ruan Ning's shoulder: "The dancer I met a few days ago looked good, so I redeemed her body."

Cao Songshan is so greedy that he almost sheds his tears. This is not only good. He loves to collect beauties from places like this. How come he has never seen such top-notch ones? It seems that King Wu'an is not close to women, and there are rumors that he is not close to women. It's true.

He immediately took care of the people next to him: "Go quickly and serve the prince with this girl."

When Ruan Ning heard this, he pretended to be angry, put his hands on Xiao Lan's shoulders, and twisted in front of him. His voice was like the eighteen bends on a mountain road: "My lord, didn't you say that you should put others at the top of your heart? Come on, why are there so many people?"

　Alas, the PK of this book has failed again, probably because of the failure. There should not be much exposure in the future. However, the follow-up outline and plot of this book are already available, and it should be continued to be written. It will be updated steadily every day. But the number of words won’t be too much, so that’s it.

　　To be honest, I quite like the plot of this book. I don’t know if it’s because of the conflicts and poor pacing, so no one reads it. If you think there are any problems with the writing, please feel free to correct me. I’m learning to make progress.
