"Huh?" Hua Li looked up at Xiao Man in a bit of a daze, "What do you mean?" ”

"Lord Huali also knows that we went to Canglan to help this time, but you also know that many things in many cases cannot be all done by the king." Xiao Man raised his eyebrows and said softly: "And we are new to the city, and we are not familiar with many things, so we have to rely on Lord Huali for help." ”

After listening, Hua Li looked at the other party, and then said with a smile: "Are you afraid that someone in the capital will embarrass you, right?" ”

Although this sentence doesn't sound very good, both of them understand that no matter which country's capital is in, it is full of changes and dangers, not to mention that the monarch of Canglan Country is still so young, and all forces are eyeing each other. Even if they didn't come for Xiaoman and the others, they would inevitably be accidentally affected.

Hua Li knew the situation in Bei'an better than Xiaoman, and when he heard the other party say this, he couldn't help frowning, and lowered his eyes to think about it.

Xiao Man was invited by the king from Donglan, and he was also given the title of county lord. Although this county lord contains some water, the position of Xiaoman and his wife in Donglan is real, and because of Lu Li's military achievements, they are very loved by the people.

If they are affected because of the vicissitudes of internal fighting, it is inevitable that they will not be criticized by outsiders, and at that time, it is difficult to guarantee that the king will also be affected.

Thinking of this, Hua Li nodded heavily, "Okay, no matter what, we are also friends, of course I will help you with this little help, don't worry!" ”

Xiao Man was slightly surprised, she didn't expect it to be so simple to persuade Huali, so she asked again: "Really fake?" Holley, you have to figure it out, don't be impulsive, if you-"

"Don't worry!" Holley Haoshuang interrupted the other party, patted his chest and said: "Anyway, we have known each other for so long, and there are caravans in the caravan, as long as you don't do anything against the king, I will definitely do my best to help you!" ”

Xiao Man smiled slightly, a heart could finally be put in her stomach, she picked up the teacup in her hand, "Then I will replace wine with tea today, and I will pay tribute to a good friend like you." ”

The teacups collided, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then drank the tea.

After this period of getting along, Xiao Man is very clear about Hua Li's character, the other party is righteous, honest, and keeps his promises, although he is a businessman, but he disdains to use those inferior means, and it is precisely because of this that he not only won the trust of the king, but also was widely popular in the team returning to Bei'an.

Xiaoman believes that people like Holley can definitely eat well in Bei'an, which is why she asked him to cooperate.

After receiving Holley's trust and commitment, Xiaoman's heart finally let go, and he felt that the next journey was much smoother, and he soon arrived at the capital of the canglands - Bei'an.

This capital is equally lively, in addition to the customs and buildings, the clothes of the people who come and go are different from those in Beijing, the hawkers on the streets, the girls who go shopping, these scenes are similar to those in Kyoto, especially the ones selling rock sugar gourds on the streets, which makes Xiaoman feel more cordial.

Wangshu also looked much more lively, he knelt on the cushion, lifted the curtain of the carriage a small slit, blinked his big eyes to look out, and occasionally pointed to the scenery not far away to Xiaoman, "Mother, look over there, there is also a ready-to-wear shop that sells clothes!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man also leaned over, followed the direction of Wangshu's finger, and looked towards the ready-to-wear shop not far away.

Unlike Shangjing, the clothes sold in this garment workshop are made of animal skins, etc., and the patterns and styles are far less delicate and beautiful than those in the Manrou Garment Workshop. Looking at the shops next to it, it is also a little rough compared with Shangjingzhong, although there is some rustic taste, but the style is too similar, and it is inevitable to lose a bit of elegance.

Seeing this, Xiao Man finally understood why King Canglan went to Donglan to seek cooperation.

"Xiaoman." Lu Li called.

Xiao Man immediately straightened up and looked at Lu Li with blinking eyes, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Lu Li smiled, covered Xiao Man's small hand with his big palm, clenched it and put it on his chest, and said softly: "I'm going to enter the palace later, are you nervous?" ”

"Speaking of which, I'm really nervous." Xiao Man tilted his body, leaned lightly on Lu Li's shoulder, tilted his head and said, "But, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing terrible, as long as we do our own thing, right?" ”

After saying that, she raised her head to look at the man, raised her eyebrows and chuckled.

Lu Lihui smiled, "You're right, let's just do our own thing, don't worry about the rest." ”

Over the years, he and Xiaoman have gotten to know each other better and better, and he knows that Xiaoman is not an impulsive person, so there is really nothing to be afraid of facing a big occasion like the palace.

While the two were talking, the carriage drove to the gate of the palace.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Man and others, who were about to get off the carriage and go to the palace, picked up the news of Fuliu next to the king, "The king is famous, the county lord is a good country, and the princess is in a hurry, and now the post house has a rest in the past two days, and it is not too late to march into the palace to ask for peace after the fatigue of the boat and car is relieved." ”

"So... Is this the same as the rules? Xiao Man frowned, very worried.

Fu Liu just smiled slightly, and respectfully blessed her body, "Please rest assured, this is the king's intention, no one dares to use this to blame your mistakes." As for when to enter the palace to ask for peace, someone came to the post house to inform the county lord. ”

With that, Fluffy took her leave and turned to leave.

Since it was the king's order, they naturally did not want to be disobedient, so they could only order the coachman to return to the post house first.

And after Fuliu returned to the king's side, he informed the king of Su Xiaoman's reaction and asked, "Why doesn't the king let them enter the palace now, won't this attract criticism?" ”

"What about attracting criticism, Lone just knows that they are right." The king didn't care about this, he raised his neck and asked Fuliu to straighten his clothes, and took a deep breath, "You go and help the orphan class again." ”

Although Fuliu was still suspicious of Fang Cai's matter, but seeing that the king obviously didn't want to talk more, she didn't ask again, but owed, "Your Majesty, please command." ”

"Recruit Li Lin to ask the Wind Hall to find me."

After speaking, the king coughed lightly, got out of the carriage and transferred to the sedan chariot in the palace, and ordered the servants carrying the chariot to go in the direction of the Wenfeng Palace.

After leaving Canglan for so long, I don't know what happened in the country during this time, and now that I have brought back the people who helped, it is time to clean up those who are on a vegetarian diet.

A quarter of an hour later, the king had already returned to the Wenfeng Palace, and Li Lin, who had asked Fuliu to invite before, had also arrived.

"Let Li Lin in." The king coughed lightly and ordered.

The little eunuch standing next to him nodded in response, and then straightened his back, "Xuan-Li Lin enters the hall." ”

After a while, Li Lin entered the hall, and after saluting, he stood in front of the king with his head bowed, "The king went to Donglan this time, can the purpose be achieved?" ”

"Let's not talk about that." Wang Shang casually opened a book of notebooks and asked: "In the days when Gu left Canglan, what happened in the country, as well as the court and the harem, tell you everything you know." ”

Li Lin frowned when he heard this, and raised his head a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, there are too many things that have happened during this time, where should the minister start, and which one should he talk about first, and which one to say later, forgive the minister for being stupid, I don't know what to do——"

"Give a seat, give tea." The king interrupted, and commanded without raising his head.

Hearing this, Li Lin smiled, took the teacup brought by the little eunuch, took a sip, and then sat down, looking at the king not far away with a smile, "Your Majesty, the minister is now-"

"Let's get started." The king interrupted again.

Li Lin nodded, put the teacup aside, cleared his throat, and said: "In the past few months when the king set off for the vicissitudes and then returned, there was no movement in the harem, and nothing major happened in the country, even above the court......"

As he spoke, he furrowed his eyebrows and looked up at the king, hesitating and hesitating, not knowing how to speak.

The king, who couldn't hear the movement for a long time, raised his head, frowned and looked at Li Lin, slightly displeased: "What are you hesitating about, if there is something to say directly, there are only you and me in this hall, is there anything convenient to say?" ”

Li Lin scratched his head and looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, during the time you left Canglan, your brother King Rong has been courting the ministers. As far as I know, in the past few months, King Rong has successively handed greetings to the mansions of dozens of courtiers, and held countless banquets, as for what he did in secret, the ministers do not know. ”

Before King Canglan left Canglan, he had instructed his friend to monitor the movements of the courtiers, hoping to make those courtiers who already had ghosts in their hearts show their feet, but he didn't want to expose the king's brother, that is, King Rong Chulang, to reveal his wolf ambitions.

"You mean, King Rong?" The king finally raised his head, but it was not as ugly as Li Lin imagined, but full of doubts.

Li Lin got up and nodded, "Yes, it is your half-brother, Rong Wang Chulang." ”

This Chu Lang and the king of Canglan were originally the same father and mother, and they were only three years apart, but because of the early death of the queen, the two brothers had to be separated. The current king, Chu Yu, was raised under the knees of Concubine De, and Chu Lang was adopted by Concubine Shu.

Although the two brothers did not grow up together, since Chu Yu was named the crown prince and had his own mansion, this Chu Lang began to gradually re-contact the king and often went to his mansion to play.

For so many years, Chu Lang has been laughing and playing, often going in and out of Fengyue places, and the two are biological brothers of the same father and mother, so the king has never seen or believed that Chu Lang has such wolf ambitions.

Hearing Li Lin say this today, the king was naturally surprised.

"Your Majesty, the minister has also received a letter of worship from the Rong Palace, and today the minister also brought it." As he spoke, Li Lin took out a beautiful prayer note from his arms and asked the little eunuch on the side to present it to the king.

The king bowed down and frowned.
