Chapter 190
190~ The Empress's Indulgence?
"Mo, what do you think Scarlet Phoenix Nation should develop next? Commerce, agriculture, or something else?"
The Empress lightly pinched the little Princess's cheek and inquired.
"Shouldn't you be asking yourself that? I'm not some empress."
"But you're My Imperial Consort. I am the Empress, and you, as My Imperial Consort, Scarlet Phoenix Nation counts as your nation too, doesn't it?"
That sounded nice, but if she truly wanted to actually get involved, the Empress would probably be the first to not allow it, right?
After all, although she had no prior record, she fundamentally was Glaze Nation's princess, not Scarlet Phoenix Nation's princess. The Empress herself was also clear that she wasn't very willing to plan anything for Scarlet Phoenix Nation.
She didn't understand why the Empress, knowing full well that even if she was willing to plan for Scarlet Phoenix Nation it would only be perfunctory, still wanted to ask her about planning.
"That also has nothing to do with me. I don't understand anything. Asking me is useless."
If you don't understand anything, then who on the entire continent understands these things?
Novel systems, unprecedented governance structures, as well as improvements to political systems, this fundamentally wasn't something some novice could accomplish.
If forced to say, she believed that if the little Princess served as a ruler, she would definitely set off a wave of top-down revolutionary fervor across the continent.
Generally speaking, if a ruler's rule wasn't overthrown, then the political system wouldn't undergo any fundamental changes, unless it was a revolution personally initiated by the ruler.
And she, as Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Empress, was already considering what to do later when Scarlet Phoenix Nation had no more wars to fight.
Clearly, the little Princess was the best choice.
"I know Mo hasn't been happy since returning. I've already helped Mo organize all the information about the Abundance Order. If Mo wants to see it, she can take it anytime. It's in My office desk drawer."
Although the office desk had already been shattered by her who knows how many times, until now, she hadn't lost a single document or file stored on that desk.
"All the materials about the Abundance Order, what do I need that thing for?"
"Isn't this what Mo had people specifically investigate before? So I also had people investigate it. I won't disappoint Mo."
Mo: "......"
It seemed her every move was under the Empress's surveillance.
"So, do you need me to plan something for you again?"
The little Princess didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"No need. As long as Mo is happy, that's good."
She couldn't quite see through the Empress's intentions, but she was definitely trying to temporarily paralyze her! Then after she fell into the trap, take the opportunity to have her strategize for Scarlet Phoenix Nation!
Anyway, the Empress absolutely couldn't possibly do anything that would put her at a disadvantage!
"I know Mo doesn't believe it, but time can prove everything. During this period, as long as Mo doesn't leave the palace, just do whatever she likes."
Didn't that still restrict her to within Scarlet Phoenix Nation's palace grounds?
"Then I want to go out for a stroll, just within Scarlet City."
"Fine."
The Empress agreed directly without much thought, completely not worried that she would flee again.
Agreeing so easily, there must be a catch!
Although her body also completely had no way to support her escaping anyway.
"However, Red Leaf also has to stay by Mo's side."
Having only Xiyan alone by the little Princess's side didn't reassure her. Red Leaf also had to be arranged at the little Princess's side.
However, this was only when needed that she would be temporarily arranged at the little Princess's side. On normal days, she would still be the Scarlet Maid Corps' Head Maid.
"No problem."
The little Princess also readily agreed.
Anyway, she wouldn't be planning how to escape anymore in the future. She would just properly stay in this birdcage specially woven for her by the Empress. Anyway, right now she couldn't do anything. Not only had the Western Region side failed to discover other reincarnators or transmigrators, but she had also nearly gotten herself caught up in it and left.
In the future, she probably wouldn't specifically go looking for reincarnators or transmigrators either. With her continuously creating things that fundamentally didn't belong to this world, if there truly were other reincarnators or transmigrators, they would definitely come looking for her. Until now, no one had come looking, which meant very likely she was the world's only reincarnator.
In fact, since she returned to Scarlet Phoenix Nation, she discovered the Empress wasn't as forceful as before. It was only during meals that she would require her to sit on the Empress's lap, as well as when she was disobedient, punishments at night in bed...
If not for the Empress's strength being so powerful that only deities could shake her, she would suspect whether the Empress had been secretly swapped out!
"Mo."
"Mm?"
"Don't forget about tonight's matter."
"Oh."
She was referring to the banquet, right? She also didn't know why the Empress wanted to hold this banquet. They were all nobles. Young people of the same generation couldn't chat with her anyway. If there were any, they approached her with certain purposes.
And she didn't want to chat with those old foxes. Chatting with them, she might even have her underwear extracted from her. She most hated chatting with those scheming old foxes.
......
......
Time quickly arrived at night...
"Lady Mo, it suits you very well."
"You say that every time."
"Ehehe?"
The little loli maid Xiyan stuck out her tongue and acted cute.
"Alright, hurry and finish up."
After having Xiyan tie her hair in a side ponytail, the little Princess put on high leather boots and hurried to the venue.
......
"That's the Imperial Consort? She looks... truly too adorable!"
"Right? If I didn't know Lady Mo had already come of age, I would definitely be the first to report someone for being into minors! What? You say that's Her Majesty the Empress's Imperial Consort? Then pretend I never said anything."
"Exactly. Clearly Lady Mo is so small, yet she became Glaze Nation's First Princess right after passing the age of innocence. My brat at home just thinks about how to slack off all day!"
"Ahem, apologies. Please stay away from Lady Mo."
Red Leaf blocked several people attempting to approach, not letting anyone get close.
Her Majesty the Empress had orders: anyone approaching the little Princess with a purpose, block them all!
And these nobles didn't need much thought. They all definitely had ulterior motives. Just block them all! Don't let anyone approach Lady Mo!
As someone temporarily deployed to accompany the little Princess's side to ensure no one with ulterior motives approached, she had to fulfill her duties and not let any nobles get close!
Perhaps in the future, she would also become Lady Mo's personal maid.
This wasn't impossible!
Becoming the little Princess's personal maid meant what? It meant promotion! And there would be much less work to do. Not only would the position be elevated in a roundabout way, even the workload could become much easier all at once!
Anyway, if she could become the little Princess's personal maid, she absolutely wouldn't give up this opportunity! This was a position all the maids in the Scarlet Maid Corps hoped for!
