Chapter 1308

Royal Mail: "Good news, the robin and the lion are about to be united"

Critic's Gazette: "The new king is coming, the princess may formally ascend the throne after the wedding"

New Industrial News: "The princess's wedding is approaching, the following sectors may see recent benefits"

Corner Alley Gazette: "Countdown, the wedding of the century still has 19 days!"

The Sun: "Who plucked the rose of the royal capital? Counting the groom's past affairs in fifteen items"

"..."

After knocking on the neighbor's door in the middle of the night and borrowing the newspapers of these days, looking at one exaggerated report after another, Li Ang, who was utterly unprepared, broke down on the spot.

Good news, I'm getting married soon.

Bad news, I damn well seem to be the last one to know.

"?"

Seeing Li Ang's utterly unprepared appearance, Anna, puzzled, couldn't help but ask softly:

"Brother? What's wrong with you? Are you not ready yet?"

"..."

Am I not ready? I simply never had the chance to prepare!

After his mouth twitched twice, Li Ang couldn't help but look speechless:

"Princess... Veronica... how did you tell them? Did you say I agreed to get married next month?"

"Not exactly..."

Seeing from Li Ang's expression that things seemed somewhat different from what she understood, the slender girl couldn't help but blink, then immediately said with an expression of surprise:

"Sister Veronica said, originally she felt the pace was a bit fast, and recently there have been many big and small things, so she hoped to spend more... more time with you, and then consider the marriage matter.

But you were very anxious, worried she might have other plans, so you kept urging and urging, and then when you returned from this business trip, you also sent her a specially precious gift, which moved her beyond words...

In short, seeing you so anxious, she really had no choice but to agree to your proposal... uh... she also said, let me have time to persuade you more, let you not worry, she only has you in her heart forever."

"..."

After hearing this account that couldn't be said to differ from the truth, but could only be said to not touch even a bit of the edge, Li Ang's mind instantly went blank, and he was stunned for a good while before he could speak.

And noticing Li Ang's abnormal expression, Anna couldn't help but ask worriedly:

"Brother... did you and her argue before?"

"..."

We didn't argue before, but now I really want to find her and have an argument!

"It's nothing... we just have a small misunderstanding, talking it out will be fine."

Facing his sister's worried gaze, Li Ang held back for a while and ultimately didn't say anything, but instead tried hard to show a kind smile.

"I'm a bit tired, I'll go to sleep first, you also rest early."

"Um... then you go rest first..." After worrying and glancing at Li Ang, Anna, who is usually gentle aside from educating children, didn't continue to press, but spoke softly:

"Brother, although I... although I've never been in love, I've also heard others say that when two people are together, the most important thing is communication.

Sister Veronica has been very busy lately, every time she comes to find you, she looks overworked, indeed she might have been inattentive in some places, but she definitely cares about you, if you have any conflicts, communicate well, maybe it can be directly resolved."

"..."

Although but, you say, is there such a possibility that our biggest conflict now is that she set the marriage without communicating with me?

After mumbling ambiguously for a while without admitting he was tricked, Li Ang yawned and went into his bedroom, and immediately at the moment of closing the door, without hesitation, he climbed out the window, went down along the floor, and then ran all the way toward the palace.

To demand an explanation! I must demand an explanation immediately!

Although... Veronica is not disliked, and in some sense, she is indeed a suitable marriage candidate, but to be so confusedly "bound" like this, it's still a bit too strange! This absolutely won't do!

It's late at night...

After seeing the wall clock already pointing to 12, the weary female official couldn't help but open her mouth, secretly yawned a little, then immediately continued to perk up, and handed the document awaiting signature to Princess Veronica.

"Your Highness, this is the budget form sent back by the Ministry of Finance.

They think the kingdom's finances are tight recently, directly approving the construction of the new district is too expensive, they should disperse the scholars and workers from the Corroc Kingdom into the kingdom's existing factory system, in that way..."

"In that case, it's just giving them a dowry."

After receiving the budget form from the female official's hand, Princess Veronica wrote a somewhat uncivil reply, then gestured to summon the attendant on the other side, and spoke calmly to give orders:

"Help me draft a reply, just say the kingdom's existing industrial system finds it difficult to connect with the Corroc Kingdom's technology and processes, doing so although it can save expenses, but it will destroy the Corroc Kingdom's originally efficient industrial model.

Moreover, dispersing the Corroc Kingdom's talents is also not conducive to the kingdom digesting the newly acquired technology, after all, the core of developing industry is forever scale and... never mind writing a reply, just draft an order instead, you note down the general meaning."

After frowning and pondering for several seconds, Princess Veronica slowed her speech and dictated:

"According to the recent bill passed by the Upper House, the Ministry of Finance, in the situation where it cannot prove the proposal has major defects, should first cooperate to advance the proposal's operation, and after verification, raise questions again, during this time it must not arbitrarily reject my proposed budget.

This kind of rejection behavior that completely violates the spirit of the new bill not only delays the time needed for the kingdom's development, but also intentionally increases internal consumption, it is a crime against the kingdom and even all citizens, therefore I want to file an accusation against the budget bureau of the Ministry of Finance..."

After expressing herself with more elegant wording, meaning "can do, can't roll over," Princess Veronica handed the completed reply document to the female official, and then spoke to demand:

"After the Ministry of Finance sends documents, you all should help me review them more, if it's still this kind of relying on the power in hand to try to extract benefits from the kingdom, directly reject and refuse, then handle it as today.

If such similar situations keep occurring, then don't hesitate, when issuing a firm rejection, simultaneously send notices to the Inspection and Audit departments, requesting an investigation into that person... and are there any other documents awaiting signature?"

"Yes!"

After noting down Princess Veronica's instructions, the female official hurriedly handed over the other document already prepared, and then spoke to introduce:

"This is a communication from the Northern Kingdom, they want to send the former king's sister to attend your and Prince Li Ang's wedding."

"Oh..."

Upon hearing the words "wedding" and "Li Ang," Princess Veronica's expression couldn't help but soften slightly, then immediately she hardened again, and spoke to refuse:

"Reply with refusal! If the Northern Kingdom wants to come, only allow envoys of the level of Foreign Minister to participate, those of higher diplomatic rank are refused entry!"
