On the narrow mountain road, several sturdy men held long knives, their clothes were covered with dark red blood, and their eyes were sharp and they scanned around. Escorting a middle-aged man in blue in the middle, hurried forward.

On the official road to Shangjing, a group of people rode a high-headed horse with a rebellious expression. Clustered around a large car in the direction of the capital.

A big man with a thick face riding in front pointed to the front with a horsewhip and said loudly: "My king, there is a mansion in front of us, should we go down to rest and eat something?" ”

A deep voice came from inside the car: "Turut, my warriors are indeed tired of sleeping in the open air, and it is not far from the capital of Chu Nanguo, so let's go to the mansion to drink a bowl of wine and have a full meal!"

And, you idiot! When you get to the capital, don't call me king anymore, you get in my car, you are the noble envoy of the Baishan Kingdom, I am your faithful servant, understand?! ”

The big man named Turut said yes loudly, put his hand to his mouth and whistled, and everyone shook their horsewhips and pulled the reins and galloped forward on the official road.

In the palace of Chu Nanguo, Zhao Jing sat in the outer study with a frown and looked at the piles of folds, and the tea around him was already cold. Li Zhaosheng stepped forward and took the teacup away and replaced it with a new cup of tea, and said carefully: "Official, you have been reading the excerpts for an afternoon, so take a break and use some snacks." ”

Zhao Jing shook his hand impatiently: "I don't have the heart to eat, look at it, Song Sheng handed over the fold again and said that he is now preparing to collect the grain, grass and ordnance of the Baishan Kingdom, and he still needs millions of taels of silver." The household department has already sent a sum of money a few days ago, why did you come to ask for it again! How unreasonable! ”

"The official family, the slave heard that Shen Niangniang's father didn't recruit a large number of wealthy businessmen in various places to raise donations and raise a lot of silver taels to share the worries of the official family? I heard that there are millions of taels! ”

"Oh? Where did you hear that, and why don't I know? Zhao Jing raised his eyebrows and looked up to ask him.

"The slave's apprentice Chang Xi'er is a deacon in Shen Niangniang's palace, and a few days ago, Shen Niangniang's mother handed a sign into the palace and talked to Shen Niangniang about it, thinking that the number is not complete, and Niangniang has not told the official family."

Zhao Jing stood up: "Oh? Birou has always been gentle and considerate, her father has always contributed money and efforts for me, and Birou has never asked for any favors, and I like her the most. If this matter is confirmed, it is necessary to reward Birou and Shen Yuanshan, such a person who does not seek fame and fortune and serves his life wholeheartedly is the real loyalty. ”

"The official family has always treated the Shen family well, and the mother naturally knows it in her heart, and it is also her intention to quietly contribute to the official family. In the final analysis, it is the official family who is the son of the saint, so there are such loyal subordinates. Li Zhaosheng slapped it with a grin.

"That's right, in that case, order someone to send the dim sum to Hepu Palace, and I will share it with Birou." Zhao Jing's expression stretched, and Lang smiled and ordered Zhaosheng.

A few days later, Shen Xiurong's father really offered a large sum of silver taels to fund military expenses, and under Zhao Jinglong's great joy, Shen Xiurong was promoted to Zhaoyi and given the title 'Lan', which means that he has the quality of Lan's heart.

The whole palace went to Hepu Palace to send gifts and congratulations, and the two concubines of Xianshu also had to reward many things, and the queen mother even summoned Lan Zhaoyi to the Crane Year Palace to praise her.

Song Sheng saw that the silver taels were ready, and he had nothing to say, so Tie Qing had an old face and went to do the errand with his heart.

*******************************************************

The evening breeze is light, although the sunset has gradually faded, the sky is still bright with the sunset reflecting the sky. Lan Zhaoyi, who was newly promoted, took Luoxia and many palace people along the stone road in the palace to walk to the edge of the Wind Lotus Garden to relax and enjoy the coolness.

Shen Birou was in a very good mood today, slowly shaking the sandalwood bone sheer painted peony palace fan in her hand, the two curved crescent eyebrows were high, and the duck egg face was full of smiles. Behind him, the palace people of Hepu Palace also raised their chins, looking forward to being proud.

On the winding corridor in the Wind Lotus Garden, Song Zhaoyi leaned on the vermilion lacquer railing and angrily reprimanded a slender woman, the woman had a delicate face, hung her head and was pitiful, but it was Mo Lanyi.

"I thought that you were the first to sleep, and the official family could look at you a few times, but who knew that it was useless! The Yan Cai people and Su Cai people in Yuxiu Palace are just a pretentious song and dance, and one of them seduces the official family with his little feet and often runs into the palace.

Don't you also have a few pushes and pinching and touching fox tricks, why didn't you believe it after only sleeping overnight? I also mistook you, a cold and lowly thing like you, the official family just tasted it and threw it away.

It's good now, I have such an unfortunate thing as you in Hanzhu Palace, and it is deserted all day long, and those things that are high and low have gone to Hepu Palace to worship the merchant girl surnamed Shen.

What are you doing with your head hanging down and sighing, I am kind enough to take you out and scatter, who are you doing this frustration for? Don't you think that the official family will never come to my Hanzhu Palace from now on, and they will put on a face for me? ”

Song Zhaoyi scolded while reaching out and pinching Mo Lanyi's waist, Mo Lanyi endured the pain and didn't dare to dodge, tears flashed in her eyes, and she shrank silently.

"Do you dare to hide? What a guts. Bihua, slap her in the face! Song Zhaoyi angrily ordered Shang Gong next to him to step forward and slap Mo Lanyi.

"Yo~ Sister Song is so angry, I didn't know that the slaves and maids in Hanzhu Palace are bigger than their masters now. Mo Cairen is also a person who has served the official family, this slave and maid will fight when they say it, and there are no rules. ”

Song Zhaoyi turned her head to look, but it was Lan Zhaoyi who approached with a smile shaking her palace fan and shook her head as she spoke. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and his face was covered with frost.

Bihua hurriedly shrank her hand and knelt down to ask for peace, Song Zhaoyi glanced at her fiercely, raised her head and looked at Lan Zhaoyi with a smile: "Who is so nosy, it turns out to be Sister Shen?"

Yo, I forgot, it's time to call Lan Zhaoyi now. My memory is really bad, my sister Jinfeng also forgot to send some congratulatory gifts, Sister Shen's family is rich, millions of silver are readily available, I don't think I mind this meager thing, right? ”

Lan Zhaoyi nodded with a smile: "Of course I don't mind, Sister Song's ancestors were born in martial arts, and it was easy to come out of Lord Song in a few lifetimes, and she received the rank of the Ministry of War, and she dealt with a group of martial artists all day long." The number of tutoring etiquette is more sloppy, and I can understand my sister.

It's just that my sister wants to teach the talented people in the palace a lesson, and it's just a matter of saying a few words, just scold and raise your hand to beat like this, and even the slave can shoot a few times, sister, I have to persuade my sister. Now that the official family has just been lightly saved, the sister in the harem can't help, so don't add to the chaos.

In case Mo Cairen can't think of anything long, not to mention that the old man blames the queen mother, even the official family feels that her sister is ignorant and ignorant of the general situation. I'm a good one, and it's up to my sister to listen to it or not. ”

Listening to Lan Zhaoyi's yin and yang weirdness full of soft words, every sentence was sarcastic and mocking, and a few angry pockmarks burst out on Song Zhaoyi's pear-white face. didn't bother to pretend to be gentle and elegant, snorted viciously, left Mo Lanyi and left. Bihua lowered her head and said goodbye to Lan Zhaoyi, and hurriedly chased after her.

Mo Lanyi stepped forward and knelt down to greet Lan Zhaoyi, choked up and said, "Concubine, thank you Lan Niangniang for her protection." Lan Zhaoyi waved her hand and told her to get up, and Mo Lanyi got up and stood timidly in place, pinching the corners of her clothes and weeping.

"You girl, you're too honest." Lan Zhaoyi smiled at the corner of her mouth, walked up to Mo Lanyi, held up her beautiful face and stared at it for a moment.

"Song Zhaoyi is the lord of Hanzhu Palace, and the concubine is just a sojourner. Niangniang taught that the concubine only received the share. Moranyi lowered her head and said.
