Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 223 Ugly Slave

Before Mei Ji could speak, Li Ke had realized that what she was grateful for was that she fulfilled Songtsan Gampo's last wish.

Waving his hand, Li Ke said: "He is also an outstanding person, so of course he deserves it!"

After saying this, Mei Ji's expression softened a lot.

She lowered her head and said, "You said that the people on the plateau should be fed and clothed..."

"That's right!" Li Ke nodded.

Mei Ji said again: "I live to see that day..."

Li Ke smiled. He stood up and strolled around his study to digest.

Turning around again, Li Ke asked: "On the way back, you must have seen my situation in Sichuan..."

Meiji nodded.

"How about it?"

Li Ke asked proudly.

When he was in Yuben City, he once showed off the prosperity of Shu to Mei Ji, but Mei Ji didn't believe it at all.

Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she should believe it!

Li Ke is not interested in Meiji's ideas, he just thinks that changing a person's prejudice with actions is very fulfilling.

Mei Ji sighed, nodded again and said, "What you said...is indeed true!"

Before Meiji came to Shu, she never thought that the people would welcome her ruler so warmly.

That is the expectation from the heart, and it is an extremely sincere expression.

When Meiji saw that the faces of those common people were all flushed, and all of them were wearing silk and silk, she understood.

The people in the Shu region are indeed living well.

Thinking of her refutation of Li Ke at the beginning, Mei Ji had an inexplicable feeling.

This person is indeed not a hypocrite as he thought earlier.

Although he still hated him, at least he was an upright person, so this kind of hatred was no longer ruthless.

Along the way, Mei Ji saw the streets, shops, and scenery of Shu, and she gained new insights.

In her previous opinion, Luoxi City was the most prosperous place in the world.

But the streets in Sichuan are much cleaner, wider and more prosperous than Luoxie City.

The streets here are full of shops, these shops are full of tourists, and these tourists are full of smiles...

Meiji's heart was full of shock.

At this moment, she recalled that Li Ke said that he wanted to bring peace and happiness to the people on the plateau...

She became more and more convinced of the possibility.

"okay!"

Li Ke put away the food box: "Since you survived, use this new identity to live well!"

He put the food box aside, and looked at the list of officials on the case.

Shu has trained many officials these days, but some of them can be sent to Tubo to help govern Tubo.

Ma Liuzhi has already returned, but he still kept some generals.

There were many tribes in that place, and problems would arise from time to time.

Li Ke planned to stabilize the political situation on the plateau first and then pursue development.

There are many possibilities for the development of the plateau, where the sun is abundant and the wind is relatively strong, so it would be good to set up factories.

Coupled with the rich mineral deposits, the mining industry can be developed.

After working for a long time, he wrote a brief development outline and made some official lists before he heaved a sigh of relief.

He raised his head and stretched his waist, facing a pair of eyes.

Those eyes were so beautiful that Li Ke couldn't help but take another look.

"What do you see me doing?"

Li Ke looked at Mei Ji.

This woman has made herself so ugly, but just by looking at those eyes, she can still detect her true beauty.

"what have I done?"

Meiji asked.

Li Ke frowned and thought about it, this guy will live in his own mansion in the future, so he has to find a name for her.

He looked around and said, "School boy, it's okay! You are the book boy I picked up from Tubo! I lost my family because of the war..."

He did a lot of weaving and made up an identity background for this ugly slave.

After hearing this, Mei Ji nodded. She coughed twice and imitated a man's voice in a rough voice: "Okay! I am an ugly slave!"

"Correct!"

Li Ke looked at her, ugly slave.

"From now on, you will live in this study. There is a bed next door. I will usually ask people to bring you food and drink...don't go out if you have nothing to do..."

After giving instructions, he collected all the confidential documents and left the study.

He hasn't returned home for a long time, so naturally he wants to spend some time with Changsun Yan.

In the past few days, Li Ke has been going back and forth between the backyard and the study.

When I went to the study, I was naturally busy with Tubo affairs, which were just political affairs.

But every time he saw Mei Ji's eyes, Li Ke always felt guilty for no reason.

He didn't know whether he was guilty of Meiji or Changsun Yan.

This is a woman after all, although I have raised a woman in the mansion, I always want to say hello to Changsun Yan.

But, in what name should I tell her?
After all, this is a Tibetan, and the two still have great enmity.

Although Li Ke knew that Mei Ji was looking forward to his transformation of Tubo, so she would not have any dissent towards him.

But if Chang Sun Yan knew Mei Ji's identity, would she become worried?

On this day, he was thinking about this matter in his study, but he saw Chang Sun Yan bringing tea.

"Ok?"

Li Ke was inexplicably nervous.

"Your Highness, I have brought you tea..."

Halfway through, she froze.

Holding the tea tray, she stared at Mei Ji and froze in place.

Li Ke's heart trembled, he hurried forward and helped the elder Sun Yan: "What's wrong?"

Only then did Changsun Yan come back to her senses: "This is?"

Li Ke said "oh", pretending to be nonchalant and said: "This is an ugly slave, my new bookboy..."

He told the "origin" of this ugly slave again, naturally he said that he was exiled because of the war...

"Oh……"

Changsun Yan nodded, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Ugly slave...Your Highness, your name is too casual..."

Li Ke quickly helped her sit down, and found an excuse to change the topic.

But Chang Sun Yan still looked at Mei Ji from time to time, with a dazed look on her face.

Li Ke finally couldn't help it, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Changsun Yan pouted: "He was born... so strange..."

Li Ke turned her head away: "You have to know, for an ugly person, looking closely is a kind of cruelty!"

Changsun Yan gave a "puchi" smile, quickly waved her hands and said, "No...not..."

She turned her head again, pointed at Mei Ji's face, and said: "Your Highness, look at this ugly slave. Look at his facial features. Each of them individually looks very neat and beautiful. But when they are put together, they look so beautiful." I feel a little ugly!"

Changsun Yan said that the ugly slave was "a little ugly", which is really self-restraining. In Li Ke's view, this face is really extremely ugly.

At this time, Li Ke compared what Changsun Yan said, and looked at Chou Nuer again, and suddenly felt that his words were reasonable.

It turns out that the eyes, nose, and mouth of this ugly slave are extremely beautiful when taken separately, but they are so ugly when they are combined together.

Of course Li Ke couldn't tell Changsun Yan that this Mei Ji was originally a very good-looking woman.

He could only smile lightly and reveal the matter.

But Changsun Yan didn't seem to intend to skip this matter, she stared at Meiji again: "Huh? This ugly slave looks a lot like a daughter's family!"

Li Ke only felt a thump in his heart, and a drop of sweat dripped from his heart...
