She came out of the palace, and she didn't know how many times she had done this kind of thing before, but now although she hasn't done it for a long time, she hasn't seen any strangeness, and when she slapped it, Miss Liu's not pretty left half of her face immediately turned red.

"You, you."

was slapped in public, Miss Liu was shocked and angry, at that moment she really wanted to kill, but she thought of Yueji's words just now that Xu Qingyan was the county lord, and she forcibly held back the words that scolded people.

Although she didn't want to believe that the person who was dressed ordinarily and was sneered at by her along the way would be the Lord of Le'an, but the fact that the Half Lotus Pavilion was opened by the Lord of Le'an County was indeed mentioned by her father.

Now the shopkeeper of this house listens to her so much, then she

At this moment, Miss Liu's heart is really mixed.

Looking at the side not far away, two girls of the same age as her were looking at her with a playful expression, and the face on the other side, which had not been beaten, couldn't help but turn red at this time.

"You, since you are the county lord, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Why lie to her and say that her family is average?

If she had known that she was the county lord, she would definitely put away the young lady's temper and be respectful, how could she have such a bad attitude and cynicism. "Say it early, say it early, will you believe it?" Xu Qingyan gave her a blank look.

Miss Liu choked, and then had to admit that Xu Qingyan was right, if she had made her identity clear at the beginning, she would only treat her as a liar, and then order someone to beat her up and throw her aside.

Even now, if it weren't for the Half Lotus Pavilion, if it weren't for the fact that the shopkeeper of the Half Lotus Pavilion regarded her as the county lord, she wouldn't want to believe it. "Yueji, are all the things wrapped?" "Oh, it's coming." Yue Ji paused for a moment and hurriedly turned back to the counter.

Xu Qingyan turned to Miss Liu again: "Although you have been disrespectful to me all the way, it is always due to the kindness of my brother to help, although your purpose of saving people at the beginning was not simple, but in the end we will admit it." "In the Half Lotus Pavilion today, I can give you whatever you like, but from now on, the grievances will be eliminated. Finally, I would like to advise the girl again, sometimes it is not a good thing to be too obsessed with appearance. With that, she turned and walked away.

Miss Liu stood there in a daze, and didn't react until Yueji handed over the packed things

The next morning, the council hall was quiet.

Emperor Zhou Qing sat upright at the top, and the ministers below lowered their heads one by one, not knowing what they were thinking.

"The matter discussed yesterday, the secretary can have an opinion, if not, the matter is decided, Liu Aiqing"

"Wait, the courtier's daughter Le'an has something to enlighten Qin." Before he could finish speaking, a clear voice came from outside the hall.

The ministers looked at the palace gate in surprise, but saw Xu Qingyan walking slowly from the stone steps.

Lord of Le'an? How did she get here?

The right minister frowned, and was about to drink, but he heard the emperor speak: "Why is Le'an here?" “

Xu Qingyan bowed her hand and made a courtier salute: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers heard that the border war was tight when they entered Beijing yesterday, and the court intended to make peace with Nanqing and Dongyin. ”

She asked this just to go through the motions, but in fact, she already knew the truth.

When she returned to the courtyard last night, she received a few more golden points of light, and the injuries in her body healed.

As soon as her injuries healed, the first thing she did was to open her divine sense and eavesdrop on the movements of the palace compound, so as to understand the truth of the kiss.

Since she met with the county lord of Xinrou in the morning, she has been worried about this matter, and the matter of harmony is also undesirable in her opinion.

In the palace compound, in the imperial study, Emperor Zhou Qing retreated, looked at the hard work hanging behind the imperial case and sighed deeply.

"Sum?" He muttered to himself, struggle and helplessness written all over his face.

Not far behind him, the rice paper with the word "peace" written on it fell to the ground, but the handwriting on it was like a sword out of the sheath, and the edge was very heavy.

That night, the lights in the imperial study were not extinguished all night

Xu Qingyan sighed and withdrew her senses.

"It's true, Le'an mentioned this, but it has something to do with what is going to be played today?"

In view of Xu Qingyan's previous performances, Emperor Zhou Qing didn't think she was messing around, but because of her previous achievements, a trace of expectation faintly flashed in his heart.

"That's right." Xu Qingyan looked directly at Emperor Zhou Qing, and said in a deep tone: "The courtiers think it's inappropriate to make peace. ”

"Hmph, a female streamer, how can you know any national affairs, don't talk nonsense." At the end of Emperor Zhou Qing's speech, he held back for a long time, and after hearing Xu Qingyan's nonsense again, he finally couldn't help it: "This hall is a place where you and a woman can trespass at will, your majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the rules cannot be broken." ”

Xu Qingyan was not in a very good mood at this time, and when she heard this, she went back angrily directly: "Right Minister, I don't have the ability to retreat from the enemy, but it's powerful to attack me as a woman." ”

"What did you say!" When the right minister heard this, he almost fell back in anger. "Am I wrong?" Xu Qingyan didn't scare him, looked at him directly and said, "Didn't you mention the proposal with relatives?" Don't you look down on women participating in state affairs, why do you want to rely on two weak women to support the sky at this time. ”

"You, you" Youxiang was choked by her and couldn't speak, and her cloudy eyes were full of anger.

Xu Qingyan didn't have time to fight with him, so she ignored her after speaking, and turned to Emperor Zhou Qing, who was at the top, and said: "Your Majesty, surrounded by wolves, momentum is still very important. ”

"I don't know what the county lord said." Emperor Zhou Qing let out a long sigh and said with difficulty: "It's just that the treasury is empty, and the financial forces are unable to support the big war. “

On the contrary, it is the suggestion of the right minister, although there is blood loss, but it is the best way to save Da Zhou at present, and he also wants to be tough, but reality does not allow it. "Moreover, we did not ask for peace with the four countries, but chose Nanqing and Dongyin, which are relatively weak in national strength."

Because of the problem of strength, these two countries will definitely wonder whether the other two countries will share the benefits they deserve as agreed after winning the Great Zhou.

This is a good place to start.

You can get what you want without spending a single soldier, and you can't necessarily get what you want after heavy losses, which is more exciting, do you still need to choose?

This is the best result that Emperor Zhou Qing came up with after thinking about it for a long time.

That is, at an acceptable price, in exchange for a temporary truce between Nanqing and Dongyin, once they agree to sue for peace, the alliance of the four countries will be dispersed, and the other two countries suspect that Nanqing and Dongyin will turn their heads against them, and they will inevitably withdraw their troops.

Xu Qingyan had already heard about these situations last night, but she still thought that the situation was not optimistic. "Then what if Dongyin and Nanqing lions open their mouths, such as ceding half of the city?" She looked at Emperor Zhou Qing fixedly.

Emperor Zhou Qing's heart was shocked, but he quickly calmed down again.

Because he had already considered this in his heart, if Dongyin and Nanqing wanted to stop, they must be given the same or superior benefits as the alliance of the four countries.

And their initial goal was to divide the week equally!
