For a while, only Jiang Shishi and the prince were left in the empty garden.

Jiang Shishi stood a little cramped, her eyes looking at the grass not far away, not knowing how to face the prince.

Pei Xuanling walked up to the woman with his hands in his hands, "What is Tang Seng?" ”

"......" Jiang Shishi took a step back, "The concubine has read a book before, and the book says... Tang Seng is a high-ranking monk. ”

Pei Xuanling took a few more steps forward until he forced the woman into a corner.

The two stood face to face at close range, and Pei Xuanling asked lightly, "What is Pansi Cave?" ”

"Uh... As for this silk cave...... Jiang Shishi smiled and said nonsense, "It's the cave of a few female goblins, and after Tang Seng fell into the goblin cave, he still didn't move in the face of those charming and enchanting goblins." ”

"Now the concubine compares you to Tang Seng, this is a compliment that you are not close to women and are decent......"

Even if a woman shoots a beard and walks a horse, Pei Xuanling's focus is not here, he just said selflessly: "Didn't Gu confiscate all your unsightly books last year?" How do you still have such a book? ”

"The concubine was seen before that." Jiang Shishi also defended: "Moreover, this book is about a generation of monks who have gone through hardships and traveled west to seek the Dharma, this is a serious book, which is different from those words!" ”

Since confiscating the woman's scripts last year, Pei Xuanling just looked through them casually, and his heart was shocked.

There is a book that is also under the guise of cultivating immortals, and it turns out that it is all about love and love.

In addition to punishing the evil monsters in the book, the male protagonist will encounter all kinds of beautiful female goblins to tempt him, and they are all messy anyway......

Now the woman said this book, which made him feel that it was similar to the book of cultivating immortals, and it didn't sound like a serious book.

Therefore, Pei Xuanling said without a smile: "Anyway, you don't read these nonsense scripts in the future." ”

Because of her own criminal record, Jiang Shishi didn't argue with the prince anymore, but just hung her head and responded, "I know."

Pei Xuanling lowered his eyes and looked at the woman, "You just said that Lone won't come back tonight, what's the matter, is it that in your eyes, Lone is the kind of man who will be bound by a woman in the dust?" ”

"The concubine body doesn't mean this..."Hearing the dissatisfaction in the man's words, Jiang Shishi hurriedly shook her head and denied it, and pretended to be sour: "The concubine body mainly thinks that you are gentle and handsome, heroic and extraordinary, which makes people happy when they see you, and I am afraid that those women outside will entangle you......"

The woman's words were sour, Pei Xuanling narrowed her eyes, "So, are you eating it?" ”

Jiang Shishi: "......" Well, how can she get back?

Jiang Shishi didn't know how to reply, so she had to glance at the man coquettishly.

was glanced at by the woman who wanted to speak, but Pei Xuanling was quite useful, but he didn't ask the woman anymore.

Seeing that the man seemed to be angry, Jiang Shishi tried to ask: "Your Highness, did Lord Liu really arrange many beauties for you to accompany you?" ”

"What you're thinking about all day." Pei Xuanling poked the woman's forehead, "Lone looked at the tax account book for a day in the yamen, and only finished reading it when it was dark." ”

Jiang Shishi: "How do you see it?" Did Lord Liu use the guise of your inspection to collect taxes from the people? ”

"After checking it out, Governor Liu really didn't let people collect taxes indiscriminately." Pei Xuanling walked towards the guest room of the restaurant and said, "Not only that, but there are no random taxes in other places, but some people are spreading rumors everywhere. ”

Jiang Shishi: "Then what should I do next?" ”

Pei Xuanling: "Governor Liu has asked the local yamen to post notices to clarify that the imperial court and Gu did not overcharge the people's taxes and silver, so that the people do not believe in rumors and do not spread rumors. ”

Jiang Shishi: "Now that this matter has been dealt with and the river has been patrolled, can we leave for the next place?" ”

"......," Pei Xuanling shook his head, "I have to stay in Chudi for a few days for the time being." ”

Jiang Shishi: "Why? ”

"When Gu Jin'er was in Yamen, the King of Chu sent someone to Yamen to report the news, saying that he invited Gu to go to the Chu King's Mansion as a guest." Speaking of the King of Chu, Pei Xuanling's face turned pale, "I just want to ask the King of Chu how he educated his son, and when Gu goes to the King of Chu's mansion to meet the King of Chu, he can leave Chu." ”

"......" Jiang Shishi's eyes turned slightly, and only after a long time did she say "oh".

**

In the next few days, all the yamen in Chu put up notices to help the prince clarify the indiscriminate collection of taxes.

At the same time, it was also rumored in Chudi that the prince had abolished the hands of the famous musician Guo Xinyue.

Originally, Chu was rumored that the prince was collecting taxes indiscriminately, and he had to be accompanied by musicians to inspect the river.

This "snap" slapped his face, and the prince not only did not collect taxes indiscriminately, but also did not indulge in beauty.

In the past few days, Pei Xuanling has not only reviewed the official documents, but also found out that those rumors were also done by Yi Enyang, the son of the king of Chu!

On July 21, the crown prince was invited to the palace of the king of Chu.

When they arrived at the palace of the king of Chu, the father and son of the king of Chu personally welcomed the prince to the front hall.

At this moment, the prince was sitting on the right side of the hall, and Jiang Shishi and others were standing behind the prince.

The father and son of the king of Chu sat opposite the crown prince.

The king of Chu smiled kindly.

As for Yi Enyang, who was beside the King of Chu, his eyes were faintly hateful when he looked at the prince, and there was a hint of apprehension in them.

I only heard the King of Chu politely smile politely: "It has been more than a year since the last time I said goodbye to Beijing, and this time I heard that His Royal Highness came to Chu to inspect it, in fact, I have long wanted to invite His Highness to the mansion to talk." ”

"It's just that I heard that you have been busy with official business in the past few days, and I am afraid that it will delay your errands, and I learned that your affairs are almost done, so I sent someone to invite you to the house to talk."

Speaking of this, the King of Chu clapped his hands slightly and instructed the people below, "Quickly bring in the meeting gift prepared by this king for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”
