On the second day, Jielan went to the Ministry of Rites to report according to the instructions of Lord Chengfu yesterday, when she got there, there were many officials bowing to her, Jielan was very frightened, and she didn't know how to face these officials, but she said modestly: "You don't need to be polite, I'm just here to learn, I don't understand anything, and I need to rely on you to dial it a little?" Next, we have to work for everyone. ”

These officials saw Jielan talking so casually, and the fear of her gradually disappeared, and at this time, Princess Nanrong also came to report, Princess Nanrong saw Jielan and smiled and called her Sister Wang, Jielan trusted this Princess Nanrong very much, and felt that she took care of herself, she responded, "Sister Wang studied here with me, I must have wronged Sister Wang, I am very unfamiliar with everything in the Ministry of Rites, if there is anything I don't understand, I want Sister Wang to mention more." ”

"Where is my sister saying jokes, I'm just learning here, how dare I advise, if Sister Wang doesn't understand anything, it's much better to ask Lord Hongdeng, lest my clumsy understanding mistake my sister." Nanrong's tone at this moment carried a hint of disdain and resentment, although she still had a long-lasting smile on her face, but Jielan felt the hatred in her words, Jielan was stunned, thinking that she had heard it wrong, but looked at Nanrong and entered the room without looking back, and greeted each other with those officials, many of whom seemed to be pro-King Belon, so they were very enthusiastic about this Nanrong princess, and they kept giving up their seats, serving tea and water.

For a while, Jielan was suddenly left out in the cold, and she didn't know what to do? The black pig who had been following Jielan pulled Jielan's shirt and said, "Lan, it's okay, let's go see Lord Hongden first!" ”

Jielan nodded, and then entered the study room At this time, Lord Hongden was processing the documents of various cities and counties, he didn't look up when he saw Jielan coming in, and continued to do what he was doing, Jielan bowed to him, and said, "Come to study today, I have Master Lao Hong's advice." ”

Hongden didn't answer, but said to her, "You take this pile of paperwork and sort it and give it to me before the afternoon hour." After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything anymore, and continued to do his own thing, Jielan looked at the pile of documents on the table on the left, a very high pile, not to mention hundreds of documents, how easy it is to sort it out before the unitary time, not to mention that she didn't know how to deal with these at all, so she asked: "I don't know how to classify this?" Please also ask for your advice. ”

Hongden still didn't look up, and there seemed to be some impatience between his words, he said: "If you don't understand, just ask other officials, they will teach you how to do it, and I still have many documents to review, don't bother me." Hongdeng's words were cold, and he didn't take Jielan to heart at all, the black pig was very angry when he saw him like this, and wanted to defend Jielan a few words, but Jielan stretched out her hand to stop her, Jielan shook her head at it, and said softly: "Long Yi, help me move it together!" "The black pig knows that Jielan doesn't want to reason with this adult, and it doesn't have much to do, according to Jielan's meaning and Jielan will move those documents to the outside room to deal with, to the outer room, Jielan finally found an empty position, she piled up these documents, hoping to finish these as soon as possible, and after moving, Jielan turned out these documents and looked at them one by one, but she didn't know how to classify them according to what Lord Hongden said, she went to look for the little official in charge of the documents who sat next to him, and asked:" How should these documents be classified? ”

Jielan thought that the little official would tell him the truth, but she didn't expect the little official to just say politely: "Weichen is afraid, there are still some important documents to deal with, and the military salute ceremony in two months will be arranged, so I also ask the princess to ask others." After he finished speaking, he buried himself in his own business, Jielan thought that since he was busy, he was not easy to disturb, so he went to ask the next one, but he didn't expect the next one to still refuse because he had something important, Jielan suddenly looked at the outer room, but saw that there were five officials around Princess Nanrong, grinding ink to help her polish ink, and turning the scroll to help her turn the scroll, which seemed extremely attentive.

Jielan suddenly understood, it was not that these people were unavailable, but that these people were unwilling to help her at all, more likely, I am afraid that this Princess Nanrong bribed the officials here, so Jielan will be snubbed and excluded, Jielan's heart was cold, she knew that no one would pay attention to her if she begged again.

The black pig also understood all this, and it said angrily: "Lan, why are these people like this, let's tell Lord Hongden to go!" ”

Jielan grabbed the black pig and said, "Don't go, Long Yi, even if there is no one to help, I will definitely deal with these documents one by one." The coldness of these people did not discourage Jielan, but stimulated her fighting spirit, she sat back in her place, took down the paperwork, and read it volume by volume.

Seeing so many paperwork, Black Pig didn't know when to get it, he was worried: "Blue, how can we finish it with so many paperwork?" ”

Jielan exhaled deeply, looking at the documents that were taller than a person's head, she was also a little afraid in her heart, but if she didn't hurry up and do it, she would only be taught a lesson, she only said: "Long Yi, you help me get an empty paperwork, and then you help me open these documents, is it okay?" ”

The black pig nodded, went to get an empty book, handed it to Jielan, Jielan took off the brush, and planned to read all the documents one by one, every time she looked at a document, she used a line of small characters on the book to write down what the book was about, and whether this volume was written by He Chengjun, or the internal documents of the royal court, after she finished reading a volume, she continued to look at the next volume of documents. Some of the contents of these documents are a little jerky and difficult to understand, Jielan has to read back and forth several times to roughly understand the meaning of the text, she read it one by one, and recorded a small word on the book, and when she read more, she roughly understood the content of these documents, these documents are the documents of Qicheng County, some of them involve tribute, sacrifices, wars, court meetings, etc., Jielan saw the documents from Chiyan City, her heart was excited, because the city lord of Xuanming has a deep relationship with her, and I don't know if he knows that he is actually the auxiliary king, I don't know if he is as restless as himself in the city now, she saw that his document mentioned the tax documents submitted by Chiyancheng to Wangcheng, and greeted the auxiliary king of Wangcheng, Jielan saw this, and understood in her heart, Xuanming already knew that she had become a princess, and she also knew that she had become an auxiliary king, Jielan saw this document, her heart was quite sad, and the past seemed to be in front of her, after she finished reading the document, she continued to read the next volume.

Jielan has seen a lot, and gradually understands the categories of these documents, she asked the black pig to sort out the documents according to the city and county, and after sorting it out, Jielan will classify the documents of each city and county one by one according to the military, sacrifice, etiquette, imperial examination, etc., because Jielan has read each document carefully, so when she is divided again, she only needs to look at it a few times to understand, so it is much faster.

But even so, Jielan was also busy until after the unitary hour, she hadn't finished tidying up, and those officials slowly retreated, including Nanrong who had finished walking in advance early in the morning, only Jielan and the black pig were left in the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Hongden in the inner room, after Lord Hongden finished processing the paperwork, he looked up at the sky, and saw that it was dark, so he got up and went out of the inner room, he saw that Jielan was still doing things seriously in the outer room, and his heart was also very recognized, but he didn't have half a thumbs up on his face, and he still said angrily to Jielan who was working hard:" Now that it's time to go, dare to ask the princess why she hasn't finished dealing with it until now, can't she even do this kind of trivial matter of sorting out the papers? ”

When the black pig heard that Lord Hongden actually scolded Jielan, he was angry, so he said angrily: "You officials here don't teach Lan how to tidy up, that's why you have survived until now, how can you teach Jielan like this." ”

When Jielan saw the black pig confronting Lord Hongden, her heart became nervous, and she hurriedly stood up and pulled the black pig behind her, and said humbly to Lord Hongden: "I'm sorry, it's my responsibility, I will sort out these documents before dawn, so please give me some more time." ”

Hongdeng saw Jielan say this, thinking that she was a princess, and she was the auxiliary king personally drafted by the king and the young king, she could completely refuse his request, and she could also blame him for his rude treatment, but this Jielan did not do this, but was responsible for her own internal affairs to the end, he looked at this woman differently in his heart, and he said indifferently: "Early tomorrow morning, if I see these documents again and do not figure it out, then I will definitely report it to Lord Chengfu." He walked away.

The black pig was really a little angry, and felt that Jielan had suffered such a big grievance, "Lan, why do you keep putting up with it, it's not your fault!" ”

"It's my fault that I didn't get it right, Princess Nanrong did the same thing as me, but it only took her two hours to finish it, and she also helped Lord Hongden to review the documents, haven't you seen this gap Long Yi? So I've got to work hard, or I'm just going to be looked down on forever, you know? Jielan said sincerely, her words full of tenacity.

Seeing Jielan doing one thing so desperately, so hard to learn the affairs of the royal court, the black pig doesn't know whether to be happy or sad, because Jielan works so hard, presumably God will have mercy on her, but what about the freedom that Lan expects? From now on, I'm afraid Lan will always have to stay in this cage like the royal court.

But no matter what happens in the future, that's for the future, and it's better to think about getting through this hurdle.

Black Pig continues to help Jielan with the paperwork, and the two of them say how to place it, and Black Pig does so.

When the hour came, the door of the Ministry of Rites was gently pushed open, and a man reached in, placed a basket in front of it, and when he had put it down, the man left.

Jielan and Black Pig did it to sort out these documents at some time, and after she finished sorting it out, she felt that she had gained a lot, because through these documents she roughly understood the situation of each city and county, and also understood which cities and counties were respectful and courteous to the royal court, which cities and counties were arrogant and arrogant, and even more, Jielan learned about the financial situation and military situation of each city and county from these documents, although what the cities and counties reported in this document may not be true, but it was roughly the same, after she sorted it out, she felt hungry in her stomach, and when the two were ready to eat, The black pig found a basket at the door, and it was curious so he walked over to take a look, but when he saw two dishes and two bowls of rice in the basket, the black pig mentioned Jielan and said suspiciously: "Blue, look, who sent this." ”

When Jielan saw this basket of food, she was also quite suspicious, and she didn't know who sent it, but she thought about it carefully, and thought that this was probably sent by Qingzhan, this person just likes to do these things that are easy to be noticed, but since it is his intention, then Jielan is not welcome, she took out the food, and there was still some temperature at the touch, so she smiled and said to the black pig: "It's still hot, since this person has sent it over, then we're welcome, let's eat!" ”

The black pig nodded, took the dishes and chopsticks, and ate it, after the two of them finished eating, Jielan saw that it was already a little late, Jielan and the black pig moved the processed documents into the inner room, and after moving in, Jielan saw that dozens of volumes of documents were placed on the Hongdeng table, these documents were placed in an irregular manner, it was easy to be confused, Jielan wanted to go down like this, it would always delay manpower, she saw that there were some wooden frames behind the inner room, Jielan had an idea, and said to the black pig: "Long Yi, work hard with me again, Let's put all these documents on those shelves, would you like to accompany me? ”

"But it's getting late, Blue, and it's time for you to rest." The black pig was a little worried about Jielan.

"Since it's already so late, it's okay for us to work hard, right?" Jielan persuaded.

The black pig didn't refute anything, he nodded, and asked, "What is Lan going to do?" ”

Jielan took the brush from the pen stand, then found some paper, cut it into small squares, and then marked it with Chiyan City sacrificial documents, Chiyan City military documents, etc., a total of forty labels, she wrote these labels one by one on the bookshelf grid after writing, and then put the documents on them one by one according to the labels.

After she got the documents she sorted out, she put the newly approved documents of Lord Hongden according to the marking, so that it would be much more convenient to consult the documents in the future, Jielan looked at these neat documents, although it was not a big deal, but Jielan felt a sense of accomplishment, because this was something that she and the black pig did not rely on anyone to complete alone, and she was naturally happy in her heart.

After the two of them got it done, they went out of the Ministry of Rites, went back to the 'Yonghe Palace' to prepare to rest, tired for a day, and as soon as the two went back, they quickly fell asleep and waited for the dawn of the next day.
