Xiao Yan was dressed in a bright yellow auspicious dragon robe, sitting upright in the hall, his hands propped up on the chair handle, staring at the beautiful woman kneeling in the hall.

Lowering his eyes, he said quietly, "Flat." ”

The clear voice made Xue Jingning startled, and he was stunned for a while, not knowing how to react. Countless possibilities skimmed through my mind, and I looked up in disbelief, but I was even more shocked.

The eyes are deep, the eyebrows are heroic, and the facial features are sharp and angular like carving. The man sat on the dragon chair made of red gold, and his bearing became more and more unmistakable.

How so? Xue Jingning secretly thought that he had met before, Pingcheng Market, and he went to Shijinzhai when he visited the Liyang accident. He did go to Pingcheng, but he didn't disturb the local officials, was it an unannounced visit? Or something else?

No wonder, no wonder, the first time she saw him, she knew that this person was a nobleman. Dressed in gorgeous clothes, accompanied by guards, and the noble style that exudes from his bones......

She thought that he would be the son of a noble family in Kyoto, who would have thought that he would be the prince of Daqi and the prince of the country.

"Is that you?" His thoughts went back and forth, and he blurted out a question almost after seeing his face. It's just that when the words fell slightly, she regretted it very much, and hurriedly leaned down to ask for sin, "The courtiers have lost their manners, and I ask Your Highness to forgive you." ”

Xiao Yan had no waves on her face, and she was not surprised by her reaction, "Get up." ”

He lifted the hem of his clothes and stood up, bowing his head and standing in place, not daring to look directly at the person in the seat.

A sighing voice came from above, "Governor Xue has worked hard for the country and the people, and he is really a model for the ministers. Hearing that Xue Qing donated the building, His Majesty was very sad, and hoped that Miss Xue would mourn and change. ”

Jing Ning bent down lightly, "My father is fortunate to be praised by His Majesty and His Royal Highness, and he died without regrets, and his courtiers thanked His Majesty and His Royal Highness for their kindness on behalf of their father." ”

Xiao Yan gave a hand, "When is the funeral scheduled to be discussed?" ”

"Not discussed." Jing Ning raised his head and met his eyes, "My father was honest during his lifetime, and he didn't want to be extravagant after his death, so he simply went out of the funeral and went to the funeral." The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness today, so that they can hold a funeral and bury tomorrow. ”

Xiao Yan got up, slowly walked down the stairs, and walked in front of her to stop, "Xue Qing worked hard to save the driver back then, and he also succeeded in governing Pingcheng, and he is a rare great Qi minister." His Majesty has been feeling unwell recently, and I will go to pay my condolences tomorrow. ”

Xue Jingning was stunned, and he had to go to the prince to mourn, what an honor. Although Xue Yi doesn't care about these posthumous names, it can be regarded as a consolation to be able to record them in the history books.

"Pingcheng has achieved a lot in the past three years, and the people's lives have also improved a lot, after Xue Qing left, I have selected a suitable candidate from the Pingcheng prefect department, and I will definitely live up to Xue Qing's hard work during his lifetime. If you live in Kyoto, the Song family will definitely take care of you for your father's good life. ”

She knelt down to thank her, but she didn't mean to get up, her back was straight and she knelt with her eyes clear and determined.

Xiao Yan was puzzled, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

Bowing down, her forehead buckled on the white jade paved floor tiles, cold and cold, she clearly realized what she was going to say next, "The courtiers ask for a decree, asking Your Highness to grant the courtiers the title of title and govern the affairs of Pingcheng on behalf of their father." ”

The woman's tone was soft, but her voice was solemn, and she pursed her lips with a solemn expression, and there was no joke at all.

Xiao Yan was slightly sluggish, since he was in trouble, no woman had ever dared to ask for a seal so confidently. Although the people of Daqi are open, the status of women has been greatly improved compared with the previous dynasty, and there are not a few female officials and doctors in the palace, but there is no one who works in the court except for the founding queen Jiamu. Governing a city is equivalent to Kyoto's five products, and it is not easy for a man to have a difficult career, not to mention a daughter in a boudoir.

His dark eyes were slightly cold, and layers of undercurrents swelled up, staring at the bold woman in front of him, and said warmly, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

The solid floor tiles, after kneeling for a long time, her knees inevitably hurt a little, but she remained motionless, still firmly replied, "Before entering the Rui Si Palace, these words have been staged countless times in the minds of the courtiers. The official of Pingcheng, the right to control, the courtiers implore His Highness for permission. ”

"Except for the female officials of the harem, there has never been a female reward officer. Xue Jingning, how confident are you that I will answer your ridiculous request? ”

The hall was empty and silent, and the words were very sharp, like a wind beating on the face, and even the air seemed to have been cut open, and the heat was so hot that it made the mouth dry. The black satin boots gradually approached, and the cold male voice still echoed in his ears.
