Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 417 Dinner Date

"beep…"

Following the loud and long whistle, two groups of giant winches emitting white steam worked together to open the night gate of the Royal Capital Canal. Dozens of cargo ships from the outer river sailed into the Royal Capital together with the morning glow on the horizon. port.

And when the sun broke through the morning glow and jumped off the ground, using its unstoppable brilliance to completely dispel the remaining dark night sky, the royal capital, which had slept peacefully all night under the corpses of millions of nightmares, finally woke up little by little.

"Well..."

As the sun crossed the canal onto the Tower Bridge, passed over the spire of the bell tower, and penetrated into the windows of the palace, the woman lying on the table trembled slightly, and was gently pulled out of sleep by the warm sunshine.

Am I... asleep?

The princess woke up from her sleep, moved her somewhat stiff body, then hugged her knees and sat on a large chair, staring blankly at the desk in front of her.

I remember that before nightfall last night, I moved the implementation documents of the tax reform, the proposal to expand the power of citizens' universal suffrage, and the selection order for third-level officers of the Military Department into my bedroom, preparing to burn the midnight oil. .

But I had just checked off the stall tax for small handicraftsmen, and when I wrote two refutations, an inexplicable sleepiness suddenly rushed into my mind, and then I didn’t know anything else...

Hmm... Or maybe it's not like I don't know anything at all.

After rubbing her sleepy cheeks, she remembered the strange dream she had after falling asleep last night, and the corners of the princess' mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

In the dream, I had approved all the documents, and then in the parliament a few days later, I spoke with such hurtful words that the minister of finance fainted on the spot, and directly handed over the Ministry of Finance.

Then he took the opportunity to win over the parliament, deal with the old nobles who wanted to stab him, and captured all seventeen of the kingdom's ministries in one fell swoop, and began to carry out drastic reforms.

Then, the kingdom gradually became stronger, and in the dream, I also inherited the throne, married Joshua across the sea to a female monkey, made Lyon a prince, and gave birth to a whole football...cough...in short, he was a It’s just a pretty good dream.

After taking a sip of the cold coffee, the princess in a good mood stood up and left her seat. She picked up the coffee cup and walked to the bedroom window, taking the initiative to catch the sunlight shining through the window.

Although I accidentally fell asleep and failed to process those documents in time, the result seemed not bad. For me who has been troubled by nightmares all year round, this kind of relaxing and even ridiculous dream is actually a very rare experience. .

"Your Highness Veronica!"

Just as the princess was bathing in the warm morning sun and enjoying her rare free time, there was a sudden knock on the bedroom door, and the panicked voice of the night watchwoman came from outside.

"I am Lily who was in charge of the night watch last night. I'm sorry, Your Highness, I... I seemed to have fallen asleep as soon as the night fell last night..."

"It's fine."

After drinking all the bitter black coffee in the cup, Princess Veronica put down the cup and stretched, with a calm expression:

"I went to bed very early last night. If I had something to do, I would wake you up. But remember, next time it's your turn to be on night watch, make sure you get more rest during the day."

"Thank you, Your Highness, I will remember it."

Hearing that he had not delayed the princess, the female officer outside the door could not help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then reported earnestly:

"Your Highness, according to the original schedule, after breakfast time, you will meet with the president of the Royal Capital Chamber of Commerce. If the conversation can be completed within two hours, you will also meet with several new members of the constituency who were recently elected. After lunch, there will be an envoy from the Kingdom of Hesse... Do you need me to call the maid to help you wash up? "

“…”

It's a pity that it's rare to have a little leisure time... But there are serious business at the moment. The parliament will be convened again in a few days. Now is not the time to enjoy leisure time.

After listening to the female officer's stressful questions, the princess couldn't help but sigh softly, then stretched out her hand to rub her eyebrows and said:

"A little later...what about the afternoon? How do you arrange the afternoon schedule? What is the earliest afternoon you can be free?" "I'm afraid...it won't be possible in the afternoon."

The female officer outside the door cautiously reminded:

"Your Highness, your schedule today is quite tight. It has been scheduled until eight o'clock in the evening, and even the dinner time has been pushed to after nine-thirty... But if you really need some free time, I can try to rearrange it for you. The meeting with the Secretary of Defense has been postponed until tomorrow afternoon."

Postponed to tomorrow afternoon...then tomorrow afternoon will have to be postponed again, right?

Moreover, the selection of military non-commissioned officers cannot be delayed. After all, Leon has always wanted to terminate his engagement with him. Just in case, it is best to finish everything he can while the marriage is still stable. , to avoid any further troubles...

"Forget it, no need to change, just stick to the original schedule!"

After weighing the importance of the matter, Princess Veronica frowned and thought for a moment, and then gave instructions:

"In this case, I won't eat dinner today and leave the time after nine o'clock for me."

"Your Highness?"

After hearing what the princess said, the female official outside the door was slightly startled, and then suggested with a worried look:

"I'd better arrange the time for you again. Your stomach problem has not been cured, so it's really not suitable..."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"You misunderstood."

After interrupting the female officer, the princess smiled and said:

"It's not that I'm not going to have dinner, I'm just not going back to the palace. You go and invite Li...invite Duke Lionheart for me and say that I want to have dinner with him.

As for the location, it would be best for him to decide it. If he has no objection, then I can book an ordinary private room with plenty of seats and a location close to the river among the two restaurants I often go to. "

"Okay, then I'll make the arrangements right now!"

"Go ahead."

After the female officer left as instructed, the princess sat back at the desk and continued to work. On the shelf behind her, a tin doll with half of its cheek broken quietly blinked its emerald glass eyes.

…

It rises in the east and sets in the west, the sun rises and sets.

The bright sun in the morning circled in the foggy sky of the royal capital before falling into the ground again.

Immediately afterwards, the towering street lights on the street lit up one after another, slightly opening a ray of light in the dark night. A simple carriage without any markings passed through the night divided by the street lights, and finally stopped in the canal area. In front of a restaurant on Taole Street.

"Your Excellency, we have arrived."

After taking the initiative to lean over and open the car door, a female official with short chestnut hair said to Leon with a bright smile:

"You can go directly to Box 7. Her Highness Veronica's meeting with the Prime Minister has just ended. She will be here in fifteen minutes at most. Please wait a moment."
