15 Enter the Penal Department

When Jielan heard this question, her mind suddenly 'chuckled', and she didn't know what to do, she only said indifferently: "It's okay, Long Yi, don't worry about me." ”

"Lan, I know that you are deeply in love with Shaojun, and you are trying to curb your emotions for him now, but in this case, you will be very tired and painful, Lan, I am worried about you." Long Yi knows Jielan's character very well, and naturally has concerns in his heart.

Hearing the black pig's words, Jielan was very moved, and almost burst into tears, but she endured it again, she only said: "Now I am no longer tired of emotional matters, there is still so much to learn, fifty days, I don't have time to worry about these feelings, so, Long Yi, don't mention him again, okay?" ”

Although the black pig felt sorry for Jielan, it couldn't control her heart, so it didn't say anything anymore, just nodded and followed Jielan to return the salute.

Back to the Ministry of Rites, Jielan will follow the instructions of Hongdeng Daren, according to the initial requirements of his own requirements, one by one to the cities and counties to write documents, she wrote documents for the first time, many places are inappropriate, she went to consult Hongdeng, hoping that she gave him some suggestions, at this time Hongdeng Daren knew Jielan's talent, admired in his heart, and he was more attentive to her, so he was willing to put down his hand and explain to her carefully, Jielan wrote one by one according to his suggestions, and pondered each sentence and phrase himself several times, I hope I can learn some ways to negotiate with the city and county.

Jielan replied very seriously, she felt that since the decision had been made, if there was a little mistake in the paperwork that led to the final strategic failure, then all her previous thoughts would be in vain.

Jielan was afraid of making mistakes, so she turned out all the previous documents to see how Lord Hongden communicated with the outer city in the past, and after Jielan checked them one by one, she began to write down the fundraising documents according to some of the previous terms, she wrote carefully, pondering word by word, and was busy until late at night.

And Jielan looked at the sky outside the house, and when she saw that it was already Hai, she calculated carefully, it should almost be the unknown person who delivered the food, Jielan said to the black pig who was already a little sleepy beside her: "Long Yi, you go to the door and see who is the person who delivers us food every night?" ”

The black pig didn't react a little, he was stunned for a moment, waited for a moment, and then came to his senses and said with a smile: "Lan, do you want to know if Qingzhan Shaojun is lying, in fact, the person who delivered the meal is him?" ”

Jielan's face turned slightly red, and she said slightly angrily: "Let you talk nonsense, if you are listened to by others, you will have to pay it back, don't go quickly." ”

The black pig saw Jielan's delicate appearance, and knew that she actually had a battle in her heart, and it didn't pierce Jielan's mind, so he waited at the door according to Jielan's instructions, and when the person delivered the food, he grabbed it and saw who was the person who treated them so kindly every day?

After half an hour, I heard soft footsteps outside the house, and it seemed that this person was also afraid of disturbing Jielan and them, so he walked very lightly and didn't dare to push too hard. When Jielan heard the footsteps, she was a little nervous in her heart, because she was really afraid that it was the person who fought the battle, if it was someone he sent, she thought that she would scold him badly, or thank him with good words?

Just as she was thinking, the person outside the door had gently pushed the door open, and then stretched out his hand carrying the basket and put the vegetable basket on the edge of the door, the man was about to retract his hand and leave, the black pig hiding behind the door suddenly jumped up and grabbed the man's hand tightly, and the man estimated that he didn't expect someone to suddenly grab him, and he was startled by the sound of 'ah', and then the black pig pulled him vigorously and pulled him in from the outside of the house.

This pulled in, but the black pig was startled, it quickly let go of its hand, and then took two steps back, looking very frightened, facing the person in front of him, and said apologetically: "How... How could it be you, Lord Hongto? ”

It took a long time for Lord Hongden to settle down and stabilize his mind, he was dragged by the black pig just now, which almost made him fall, and now he looks very embarrassed. And Jielan looked at the person who appeared in front of her, it was actually Lord Hongdeng, she was also very panicked, and hurriedly left the bookcase and walked towards Lord Hongdeng, she was very sorry for Long Yi's behavior just now, and hurriedly bowed and said: "I don't know if it's Lord Hong, what kind of offense did Long Yi have just now, please don't mind Lord Hong." ”

Hongdeng has never been treated like this, so he is naturally a little angry, not to mention, he has always been strict and pays attention to his appearance and posture, he actually showed such an embarrassed appearance in front of the princess, how could he lose face, and only said angrily: "Hmph, the princess is joking with the minister, and the minister doesn't dare to say anything?" ”

Hearing him say this, Jielan was even more worried, "No, it's all my fault, I just thought it was Shaojun's people who came to deliver food every day, so I just wanted Long Yi to tease him, but I never expected it to be you, an adult, I am really grateful and ashamed." ”

"Hmph, I didn't expect the old man to be treated like this by the princess, it seems that the old man is really troublesome, in the future, the old man doesn't care about the princess?" The more Lord Hongden talked, the more angry he became, he didn't want Jielan to know that he cared about her, but now he not only broke it in front of him, but was also teased by the princess like this, although he knew that Jielan didn't do it on purpose, but he was always uncomfortable in his heart.

Jielan listened to his words, knew that he cared about himself, and wanted to apologize to him for fear that he would never forgive, she smiled, walked to Lord Hongdeng, held his arm, and smiled slightly: "I don't think Lord Hongda hates me very much, but I didn't expect that your adult you are actually cold-hearted and hot-hearted, and take care of Jielan like this, Jielan is really grateful, just let the adult you frightened, if you don't forgive me for my rude behavior just now, then I will kneel down to you and apologize." Jielan still snorted coldly when she heard him, she knew that he was still angry, so she did what she said, and took a step back, wanting to kneel down to him.

Lord Hongden thought she was joking, but he didn't expect her to really kneel to himself, he was so busy holding Jielan up, and said angrily: "Are you angry with me like this, do you still want to break my life?" ”

Jielan saw that he didn't hate so much between his words, so she smiled and said, "I don't dare, as long as you don't get angry with me anymore, I'm grateful." ”

Hongdeng always thought that Jielan was serious and serious, but he didn't expect her to be so stubborn, and there was a playful meaning in her words, how could he still be angry again? He let out a long sigh and said, "That's it, that's it, just because I accidentally fell just now." ”

Hearing him say this, Jielan finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said, "My lord, even if you send me and Long Yi late, you don't need to come over in person, wouldn't it be good to call someone from the imperial kitchen?" ”

"How can I rest assured that they are here, you are a princess, and I naturally need to be outside to protect you at all times, otherwise if something happens to you, how will I explain to the king?" When Lord Hongden said this, he was very worried.

Jielan was even more surprised, and then she was even more grateful, "Have you been guarding outside the house for the past few days?" ”

Being asked by the princess like this, Lord Hongdeng was embarrassed for a while, and felt that being recognized by the princess would completely destroy his usual strict and unsmiling image, and it might also make the princess feel that she was an insincere person, so he only said: "No, how can this official stay outside the house, the princess thinks too much, and the old man doesn't have so much time." ”

Jielan thought that he was so old, and he had been guarding himself outside, how could she not be moved by this affection, she only said: "Thank you for your love for me, Jielan will always remember it, and I will also work hard to learn everything and strive to live up to your expectations of me." ”

Hongdeng sighed and said: "With your intelligence, princess, as long as you study hard, you will definitely become a generation of Ming Jun in the future, but the ministers can see that the princess still has many unfulfilled wishes, and these wishes may make the princess go to the road of no return. ”

Jielan thought, this Lord Hongden must have known about her and Qingzhan, so he persuaded like this, although he was right, but it was not easy to forget a person, not to mention that Jielan was already trying to forget someone.

She nodded and said, "Thank you for mentioning it, I will remember your words, it's getting late now, it's good to have Long Yi to accompany me, please go back, you have to deal with business early tomorrow morning, you can't delay the time to rest." ”

Since the princess said this, Hongdeng didn't dare to stay any longer even if he wasn't at ease, otherwise the princess would mistake him for ulterior motives, so he only said: "Then the princess will carefully review the documents, and Weichen will retire." When he had finished speaking, he walked away. Looking at his bleak back, Jielan felt warm, looking at such an old back, Jielan's heart actually hurt a little, she was only thinking, if her father could treat herself like this, how good it would be, but her father would only abandon herself and her mother, where would she care about them.

Thinking of this, Jielan's tears rolled down, and her grief was irrepressible. The black pig didn't know why Jielan suddenly cried, he was a little flustered, and hurriedly asked, "Lan, what's wrong with you?" Why are you crying again? ”

Jielan wiped away her tears, turned her back to the black pig, and said, "It's okay, I just thought of my father, let's continue to do things, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it until tomorrow." ”

Black Pig has never heard Jielan mention her father to him, but Black Pig also roughly knows that the current king eloped with a general to escape from the palace and went to live a secluded life with Xiao Yao, so the father in Jielan's mouth must be the general, he always thought that Jielan's father's father had died, so Jielan was sad at the moment, and he must have only thought of his deceased father, so he didn't ask more. However, what the black pig didn't understand was that Jielan was thinking about the father who abandoned her but didn't know life and death.

The two of them dealt with the documents together, and only wrote all the documents on the second day, and after they were written, Jielan sealed the documents, and prepared to let the people of Zhongshu Province send the documents to the cities and counties tomorrow, and then, the difficulties of Qing Zhou City must have been solved. When they had finished writing, they closed the door and went back to their palaces to rest.

And after dawn, the two of them went to report on time as usual, and Jielan sent the paperwork processed last night to an official to Zhongshu Province, and then followed Lord Hongden to learn some other things.

Five days passed quickly, and what Jielan had learned was almost the same, according to Zaifu's words, after five days, Jielan could report to the Criminal Department, Jielan said goodbye to Lord Hongdeng, Lord Hongden was very reluctant, but she was a princess, and she had to do more, and she couldn't stay in this Ministry of Rites forever, so he said goodbye to Jielan coldly, and then asked her to go to the Criminal Department to report.

The criminal department was not set up in the royal city, because the criminal department had to deal with many people's cases, so the criminal department was set up in the east city of Pingdu, and Jielan had to report to the criminal department during the day, and at night he would take a carriage back to the royal court. The secretary of the criminal department is called Bai Bing, and he is also upright, but the biggest feature is that he can see the wind and make the rudder, although the two are contradictory, but they are not contradictory to this Bai Bing.
