On the second day, it was the time of the early dynasty, Lord Hongden, as discussed with Jielan yesterday, presented the document approved by Jielan to the king, after the king looked at it, there was some worry between her eyebrows, she did not speak, and passed the document to the side of the Qing Zhan to see, after Qing Zhan read this document, but contrary to the king, but smiled happily, he raised his eyes to look at His Royal Highness standing on the right side of Jielan, for this woman is quite envious, he asked the eunuch to pass the document down the hall to Lord Zaifu to read, after Lord Zaifu read the documentAfter he finished reading, he looked at Princess Jielan on the right, and was a little worried about her approval of such a document, his eyebrows were condensed together, and he said to the king: "Princess Jielan is benevolent, and wants to solve the difficulties of Zhoucheng, which makes people very admirable for their open-mindedness, but this document will inevitably involve the taxation of other cities and counties, if this makes the three cities and four counties have disputes, I am afraid that the benevolent heart has become an arrow in the abdomen, It's very bad for the royal city. ”

Princess Nanrong, who was standing on her side on the left, was happy when she heard Lord Zaifu criticize Jielan's approval of the paperwork, thinking that no matter how capable you are, you are just a fledgling, and if you want to fly high, you are afraid that it will be too early.

And Jielan and Lord Hongden had already thought that everyone would have this objection, Lord Hongden didn't want to take Jielan Zhilu for his own use, not to mention that he also hoped that Jielan could use this to have a reputation in the court and gain a foothold, so he said: "Lord Zaifu's doubts have also been carefully considered, and yesterday Xiaguan and Princess Jielan have already thought deeply, Lord Zaifu can directly ask Princess Jielan if she has any questions, she will put forward her opinions, and then let the king, the young monarch and the ministers decide." ”

Listening to this Lord Hongdeng speak is very respectful to Jielan, he has always been withdrawn, rarely to people like this, obviously he is very appreciative of Jielan will be like this, which makes Lord Zaifu a little curious, he turned to Jielan, and asked: "I don't know how Princess Jielan will solve this matter?" ”

Jielan made her own remarks in the court for the first time, and she was naturally a little nervous and afraid, but for the sake of Qing Zhoucheng, she couldn't retreat because of her fear, even if she was refuted by them in the end, Jielan, as a friend of Yuning, should also fight for them, she said her thoughts and decisions one by one as if she had answered Lord Hongdeng, and suddenly the court was amazed by the debate between Jielan and Lord Zaifu, none of them expected that this Princess Jielan would have such a strategy, This is completely unconvincing with her own image, and perhaps everyone looks down on her.

Zaifu asked to the end, just like Lord Hongdeng, he was convinced, he didn't know what to say, he was dumb for a long time before he reacted, and said to the king: "Princess Jielan is meticulous, everything has been arranged, the old minister is deeply admired, and thinks that this strategy is feasible, I don't know what the king and the young monarch want?" ”

When the king heard that his daughter was arguing with Zaifu, which fully demonstrated her outstanding political skills, he was also overjoyed, so he replied: "Lord Zaifu has always been wise and decisive, and since Zaifu has said that it is feasible, then this king has no objections, so please go to the next document like this, and hope that Qing Zhoucheng will be grateful for Wangcheng's kindness to them, be loyal to my Wangcheng, and be a vassal forever." ”

As soon as the king said this, the other courtiers knelt down to thank him, and Jielan was even happier when she saw that all the ministers recognized her decision, she felt that the first thing she did was recognized by everyone, and she was not an incompetent person who made everyone feel that she was only qualified as an auxiliary king by relying on the daughter of the current king, and she hoped to let the ministers understand that the woman standing in front of them was someone they could trust.

Qing Zhan was very happy to see that Jielan had been praised by the ministers, and he asked Lord Hongdeng: "Princess Jielan and Princess Nanrong have been studying in the Ministry of Rites these days, dare to ask Lord Hongda how they are performing in the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Lord Hongden replied truthfully: "Princess Nanrong is familiar with everything in the Ministry of Rites, and there are no mistakes in reviewing the documents, after the observation of the ministers in the past few days, if Princess Nanrong is willing, she can transfer to other ministries to study, and Princess Jielan is lacking compared to Princess Nanrong, but she is studious and diligent, careful and bold, and the ministers are very satisfied with her performance, but for the sake of safety, I hope that Princess Jielan will stay in the Ministry of Rites for a while longer, and after she understands all matters in the Ministry of Rites, Then the king and Lord Zaifu arranged for him to study in other departments. ”

Although Nanrong heard that Lord Hongden was still praising her, she could also hear that in his heart, Jielan's talent was better than herself, so she wanted to keep her by his side and teach her more things.

After hearing this, Qing Zhan felt that what Lord Hongden said was reasonable, so he replied: "Okay, let Princess Nanrong go to the Criminal Department to work and study in advance, and Princess Jielan will stay in the Ministry of Rites for another five days, and after assisting Lord Hongden in dealing with the matter of Qing Zhoucheng, he will be transferred to the Criminal Department. ”

Zaifu didn't have any meaning, everything was said to be, and the other ministers had nothing else to do, so they announced their retreat from the court, after retreating from the court, Jielan thought that there were still many documents that had not been processed, so she was anxious to return to the Ministry of Rites, outside the main hall, she was stopped by Qing Zhan when she was walking away, Jielan saw Qing Zhan again at this time, thinking of what the two said that night, she couldn't help but blush, she lowered her head, and didn't dare to look into his eyes, Qing Zhan looked at her so shy, and now with gorgeous clothes, she looked very delicate, and her heart couldn't help but ripple, he laughed softly: " I didn't expect you to become so resourceful in a few days, and it seems that I am becoming more and more interested in you, and more and more unpredictable. ”

There were other officials beside him, although he didn't say it loudly, but Jielan was still afraid of being listened to by other officials, suspecting that there was something between the two of them, Jielan was a little angry at the moment, she used to have a very close relationship with Qing Zhan, that was because it was not in a place like the royal court, and now there were people watching them everywhere, how could Jielan not be careful, she took a step back, and said coldly to Qing Zhan: "It's better for the young monarch to speak more seriously to this princess from now on, although you and I are friends, but now we are also monarchs and ministers, aren't you?" ”

In exchange for Jielan's cold words, this sentence seemed to be treating a stranger, which made him not sad, he frowned and said: "Yes, now you are Princess Jielan, Benjun always remembers your identity, but he also remembers more things, including your heart." ”

Jielan's face turned redder, she took a small step back, she didn't know why, since she entered the royal court, she and Qingzhan seemed to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, her heart was getting farther and farther away, maybe to protect her, but also to protect her mother, a person's love is always just one person, you can't ruin the people closest to you because of their selfishness, Jielan has made a decision in her heart, she will not have anything to do with Qingzhan anymore, her eyes are indifferent, and she said:" Thank you for delivering food to me and Long Yi every night these days, but please don't do it in the future, so as not to be known by other officials. ”

Qing Zhan was at a loss, not knowing what Jielan said, but said: "In the past few days, I know that you will concentrate on dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and you don't want me to disturb you, so I have never come to disturb you, but occasionally I will let Split Bo come to inquire about your situation, so as for what you said about delivering food, Benjun really doesn't know." ”

Jielan always thought that it was done by someone from the Qingzhan faction, but when she heard it today, she realized that it was not him, but if it wasn't him, then who was it? Could it be that Chengfeng and them have not been seen in the past few days, Jielan asked: "Do you know where Chengfeng and Qixue have gone, why haven't you seen them for a long time." ”

Qing Zhan listened to her use honorifics to herself, and his heart was so painful that he panicked, but he still said with a pleasant face: "I can't imagine that what you miss most now is Chengfeng, don't worry, they are just not used to living in the royal court, and they went to live in an inn in Pingdu, if you want to see him very much, I can help you pass the word." ”

Jielan listened to Qing Zhan's words with a slight irony, which made Jielan's face sink, "No need, if I want to see them, I will naturally let Long Yi go to them, Shaojun deals with the affairs of the royal court, and I dare not bother you for such a trivial matter." Jielan didn't know whether she was deliberately angry or angry, she said this, but she didn't consider Qingzhan's mood, she just wanted to be more ruthless and ruthless towards Qingzhan, so that Qingzhan would break off his thoughts about himself, so that the two would not come to the step of being like his mother and father, carrying sins, but in the end they still had to separate, rather than that, it is better to cut off the relationship now, so as not to be more sad and painful in the future.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left without any nostalgia, the black pig who had been staying by Jielan's side was also a little surprised to hear such an indifferent conversation between them, it didn't know why Jielan and Qingzhan had become like this, could it be that there was a dispute between them, although the black pig was curious, but he didn't dare to ask, and said to Qingzhan in a panic: "Then Shaojun, I'll go first, if there's anything, you let Major General Split Bo inform me, and I'll tell Jielan." ”

The black pig trotted towards Jielan and followed, it raised its head and looked at Jielan's gloomy face, and beat the drum in its heart very carefully, not knowing how to persuade, it only asked: "Lan, did something happen to you and Shaojun again?" ”
