Jielan's words seemed very simple, not as flattering as Nanrong, Jielan's words were very sincere but not unambiguous, as if it was the demeanor of a king, these generals were more inspired than Nanrong when they heard these words, and suddenly all the soldiers said in unison: "The ministers must obey the king's order, swear allegiance to the death, and dare not disobey." ”

The military spirit was so surprising that even King Xiao and Qing Zhan were quite surprised, this blue-haired woman was such an attractive woman, it was impossible to guess, and it was impossible to comment on her potential strength. Nan Rong on the side saw that the soldiers loved this Jielan a lot, and she was angry, and she regretted that she didn't obey her father's order to kill her directly, so that now there is still someone to grab the throne with her, and she really underestimated this woman, she thought she was just a mountain woman, she couldn't understand the etiquette of the royal city at all, and she couldn't handle political affairs, but from today's point of view, this woman's ability is beyond her imagination, it seems that she inherited her mother's blood is really eye-catching, Nanrong has killed Jielan from the heart, Within fifty days, she must remove the woman who was in her way, or her throne would be in jeopardy.

After the two met the soldiers, King Xiao let them flatten, and then Jielan and Nanrong helped the main hall of the Xiao Dynasty to walk.

Qing Zhan drafted the auxiliary government book, handed it to the eunuch to read, and then decided to distribute the document to the cities and counties, so that they also knew the choice of the new lord of the royal city, and then let the hundred officials visit the two auxiliary kings, and let the auxiliary king worship the hundred officials, and after this ceremony, Qing Zhan asked Tan Qi to read the decree to the two of them, hoping that they would strictly discipline themselves according to the law, otherwise they would be punished by the law once they violated the law.

After the edict was read, Qing Zhan asked Zaifu for advice, "Next, the two auxiliary kings will be decided by Lord Zaifuke where they will perform during the inspection?" ”

Zai Fu pondered, and after thinking about it, he said: "Since the two are the choice of the king, they must be familiar with all the things in this court, and they must learn government affairs and military affairs, but when Princess Jielan first arrived at the royal court, she must still know very little about everything in the royal court, so Princess Jielan will stay in the Ministry of Rites to understand the etiquette of the royal court, as well as diplomacy and other things, since the two people want to be equal, then Princess Nanrong also started with the documents in the Ministry of Rites, who has been recognized by Lord Hongdeng of the Ministry of Rites, Whoever can be transferred to the next Zhongshu Province to handle government affairs. ”

When Princess Nanrong heard this, she was very displeased, because she was already very familiar with the etiquette and diplomacy of the royal court, how could she just stay in the Ministry of Rites with Jielan, wouldn't that be a humiliation to her by changing the law? However, although Princess Nanrong was not convinced, it was not easy to oppose it directly, she glanced at her father, King Belon, and King Belon saw that Zaifu was obviously biased in favor of Princess Jielan, so he retorted: "Since Lord Zaifu said that Princess Nanrong is already familiar with these royal court etiquette, wouldn't it be superfluous to let her go to the Ministry of Rites first?" ”

As soon as King Peron said this, the officials who supported him immediately turned against him. Zai Fu was not flustered, and only said: "What the prince said is true, Princess Nanrong is indeed very familiar with these etiquette diplomacy because she was born in the royal court, but has the prince ever thought that Princess Nanrong is only familiar with it and does not deal with it, if the envoy from the outer city arrives, and if this envoy is hostile, does the prince dare to guarantee that Princess Nanrong will handle it without any mistakes?" If the prince is, then there is nothing to say, Princess Nanrong chooses by herself. ”

Nanrong saw that this Zaifu would talk about this, and if she continued to argue, she was afraid that other officials would say that she disliked the position of the Ministry of Rites, so she smiled and said: "Lord Zaifu's lesson is that this princess will stay in the Ministry of Rites and study well, and will not disappoint Lord Zaifu." ”

When Zaifu saw that she agreed, he didn't say anything anymore, and directly asked them to go and report to the Lord of the Ministry of Rites, Hongden, who was over forty years old, he was serious, unsmiling, and the master of Prince Kenji, so he was a little domineering, and he was not afraid of these two candidate kings, and treated them as if they were subordinates, and his words were harsh and harsh.

After the two reported to see Lord Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites, King Xiao ordered his personal eunuch to arrange Jielan to live in the 'Yonghe Palace', and since Nanrong became the auxiliary king, he needed to stay in the palace day and night, and could not go back to his palace, so King Xiao arranged for her to live in the 'Yueping Palace' in the West Palace, one of the two was in the East Palace, and the other was in the West Palace.

At this time, it was already early hour, King Xiao ordered the guards to escort Jielan back to the 'Yonghe Palace', and Qing Zhan had not spoken to each other since he said goodbye to Jielan, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to ask Jielan to return to the palace, the purpose was naturally to explain more palace etiquette for her along the way, King Xiao knew the relationship between his daughter and Shaojun, although she also understood that Jielan and Shaojun should not get too close, but Jielan needed someone to protect her in the palace, and Qingzhan was the best protector, so King Xiao did not stop it.

However, Jielan didn't think it was very appropriate, but she didn't refute it, she looked at the black pig who was snubbed by herself today, she was worried in her heart, so she said to her mother: "Your Majesty, Long Yi is my demon servant, and he must be by my side as a mandate of heaven, can you let him go to the 'Yonghe Palace' with me, without him by my side, I will be very uneasy." ”

Xiao Wang looked at the somewhat ugly demon beast that had been following Cheng Feng, watching its dark eyes turn around in the bones, Xiao Wang looked at this simple and lovely person in his heart, but did not think it was ugly but a little cute, she walked to the black pig, leaned down and grabbed its front feet, and said gently: "I heard that Princess Jielan has been on the way back to the palace, there has always been a demon attendant who sacrificed her life to protect her, I didn't expect it to be you, I really thank you for helping Jielan so much, from now on, I also hope that you can always stay by her side, Let her not feel lonely, not feel alone, okay? ”

The black pig suddenly felt a little frightened, she didn't expect such a noble person to treat herself so kindly, and she didn't expect her to plead with herself, the black pig was a little dumbfounded, and didn't know what to say, just looked at Jielan in such a daze, it looked incredibly incredible.

Jielan knew that the black pig must have been frightened, she hurriedly walked over, put her hands on the black pig's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Long Yi treats me better than himself, as long as you promise him to stay by my side, he will definitely love me and protect me as you treat me." ”

King Xiao didn't expect that the relationship between Jielan and this demon beast had reached such a point, it seems that this may be the special relationship between the blood demon and the demon servant, this kind of relationship is beyond ordinary feelings, since there is one more person who loves his daughter, why should King Xiao not do it, she held the hands of Jielan and Long Yi, and said: "In that case, then what reason do I have not to let your Long Yi accompany you?" ”

Jielan became happy when she heard this, because she felt that it was an extremely happy thing to have someone by her side in this deep palace, not to mention that all her thoughts could be told to Long Yi, it would be her spiritual pillar, if this pillar was not there, Jielan would be terrified and afraid.

She pulled the black pig's front feet, owed her mother, and said, "That daughter has retired to the king, and I hope the king can rest soon!" ”

King Xiao nodded and walked out.

Qing Zhan didn't let Tan Qi and Split Bo follow, and only escorted Jielan back by himself. Yonghe Palace', when she walked to the road, Jielan thought that Qingzhan was behind her, and suddenly felt very stressed, and she and the black pig walked in front, led by the maid and walked towards the palace, but saw that along the way, there were countless palace maids and eunuchs walking by, these palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but look up a few times when they saw the blue-haired Jielan, and when they saw Jielan still pulling a demon beast, the eyes of these palace maids and eunuchs were even more puzzled, because the palace had never allowed the demon beast to enter so calmly, let alone go to the East Palace.

The black pig himself also felt the gaze of these palace maids, it knew that these people were very surprised by themselves, maybe they were contemptuous and laughing at him, the black pig felt sad when he thought of this, he was afraid that Jielan would be laughed at by these palace maids because of himself, but it affected Jielan's reputation, and slowly it withdrew its hand from Jielan's hand, and also kept a step away from Jielan, so that these palace maids should not laugh at Jielan.

Jielan was a little surprised to see the black pig let go of her hand, but thought that he might be like this because of his shyness, so Jielan didn't care too much, and just let it walk behind her.

Qing Zhan understood the black pig's thoughts, knew that it had some inferiority complex in his heart, and also knew that these palace maids and eunuchs would definitely blame the black pig for this in the future, and at the same time implicate Jielan, he walked to the black pig's side, and actually stretched out his hand to pull the black pig, this move made the black pig feel even more frightened, the black pig raised his head and looked at Qing Zhan, a pair of big eyes seemed to fall out, it swallowed: "Shaojun, you..."

Qing Zhan smiled indifferently and said, "You just have to move forward, you remember that you are the Demon Servant of the Auxiliary King, not some demon beast, so don't despise yourself, if you even despise yourself, then how can you make these people respect you, and how can these people respect Jielan." ”

The black pig didn't think about it so much, just based on his own thoughts to do it, and now he feels even more ashamed to hear it, and feels that he still cares too much, but if he says that he doesn't care, it's impossible, he nodded and said, "I know, thank you." He was sincerely grateful, because Qing Zhan, as a young monarch, had such a noble identity, and he was willing to give in to his identity like this, how could he not be grateful?

And these palace maids and eunuchs saw that the noble young monarch was actually holding this demon beast, and they were even more shocked, and they also had some suspicions about this black pig, and they didn't know what it was about, so they let so many people treat it like this, thinking about it, these palace maids were jealous of the black pig.
