Palace.

After the rain, the sky was clear, but An Guogong was not happy. Because he was standing outside the imperial study, waiting for the emperor's summons.

Watching the important ministers in the court go in and out one by one, after several rotations, An Guogong's legs were already trembling. Just when he was about to lose his support, his father-in-law finally sent a message to let him in.

In the imperial study, the bead curtain cut off the emperor's dignity, and people outside could only see a general figure.

An Guogong honestly knelt on the ground and asked for peace, "Weichen knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor!" ”

"Alright."

The Emperor's impatient voice came from the inner chamber behind the beaded curtain.

"How long has it been since you were asked to pick up someone, and someone has picked it up?"

An Guogong stood outside the door against the sun for a long time, and his face was already red. At this moment, when he was asked two more sentences, the whole person was as anxious as a boiled shrimp.

"Return, back to the emperor, Weichen went to the city gate every day to wait, but did not find any trace of the surveyor. Perhaps, maybe he hasn't arrived in the capital yet. ”

The emperor snorted lightly and said firmly, "Impossible. Although I have only met Ren Feng once, I know that he is a man of promises. Since he can make an agreement with me to enter Beijing in ten years to present the picture, even if he doesn't finish the painting, he will definitely come and tell me. ”

An Guogong couldn't help but scold, "Ten years ago, who knew if this person was alive or dead." ”

"What did you say?"

Hearing the emperor's majestic voice, An Guogong was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed.

"Yes, Wechen will do his best to welcome the surveyor!"

"Dedication is in action, not just in words." As soon as the emperor saw An Guogong's submissive appearance and couldn't support the wall, he was upset, "Okay, you can step down." In short, if you can't find Ren Feng, you will go all over the famous mountains and rivers for him, and draw a map for me! ”

An Guogong stumbled when he got up, and almost broke his foot. After exiting the imperial study, he was even more frightened into a sweat.

At the same time, there was a peaceful scene in King Xiao's mansion.

After receiving the letter written by An Yueli, Su Huaixiao immediately arranged Jiang Zhan. Not only that, but also gave the other party extremely high treatment.

So much so that when An Yueli returned to the palace to visit, she was a little stunned when she looked at the overly spacious and luxurious room.

"Did the prince really give the entire courtyard to his cousin?"

Jiang Chen bowed his head, "That is, Mr. Jiang is the princess and your uncle, can the prince not pay attention to it?" ”

An Yueli was speechless for a while, and warned: "Speak well." ”

"Actually, there is another important reason." Jiang Chen touched his head, "Mr. Jiang is a surveyor, and there should be a lot of topographic maps of states and counties in his hands. If you can, can you ask the prince to borrow it too? ”

An Yueli pondered for a moment and did not agree directly.

"I'm afraid it will take a while for my cousin to restore these albums, I'll ask him, and if he doesn't mind, I'll find a way to copy it for the prince."

Jiang Chen didn't expect her to be so refreshing, and his eyes turned red with excitement.

"Thank you, Princess!"

An Yueli waved her hand and asked Huansha to knock on the door.

"Uncle, our princess has come to see you."

Jiang Zhan raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was An Yueli and his party, his eyes immediately burst with brilliance.

"Princess, please come in!"

"Uncle is busy? Are you used to living in the palace? ”

An Yueli watched as several large desks in the room were put together, forming a huge desk. It was covered with atlases and books, all of which had been rescued from the rain a few days ago.

Jiang Zhan smiled from ear to ear, "I'm used to it, of course I'm used to it." I'm used to sleeping in the open, and the conditions in this palace are like paradise. ”

An Yueli walked around the huge table for half a circle, and she didn't dare to reach out and touch these things at will.

"Do these books need to be restored, and the amount of work is so large, do you need manpower?"

"The prince can take me in here for a while, and he also gave me such a large courtyard to restore books, which is already a great kindness."

"The prince in my cousin's mouth is your niece and son-in-law." An Yueli smiled and sorted out the relationship for him, "If you are really afraid of trouble, I can help." ”

"Well, your mother still needs someone to take care of her."

At the mention of Jiang Qinglan, An Yueli shook her head helplessly.

"Since you moved out of the state mansion, my mother has been urging me to come back to the palace to help, for fear that you will not be used to living there. If you let her know that I will burden you alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back to my parents' house. ”

After laughing a few words, An Yueli asked instead.

"The last time I talked about drawing a map of the whole country, how did my cousin think about it?"

"I'd like to, but it's hard to just find that big paper."

"These cousins don't have to worry about it, Xiao Wang Ye can handle it. But if my cousin doesn't mind these drawings, can you let me borrow and copy them? ”

Jiang Zhan was slightly surprised, "You're also interested in these?" ”

An Yueli thought that she had been in this world for so long, and she didn't know what the territory of Yuguo looked like. Speaking of which, it's a bit curious.

"I just want to know more about the country."

Jiang Zhan was generous, and immediately agreed: "I don't lend it to others, because I'm afraid that these atlases will be damaged." But if it's you, of course you can. ”

"Then thank you cousin!"

By the time An Yueli returned to the main courtyard, she already had an extra stack of atlases in her hand.

Su Huaixiao came out in a wheelchair, just in front of her smiling face as bright as the stars.

"I haven't seen him for a few days, and the prince looks good."

Su Huaixiao was infected by her emotions, and also bent the corners of her lips.

"Have you seen Mr. Jiang?"

"Yes, my cousin is grateful for the yard you lent him. Also, these are the atlases that my cousin lent me, which are full of maps of various states and counties, is the prince interested in taking a look? ”

As soon as these words came out, Su Huaixiao was completely restrained, and his face was full of solemnity.

"Mr. Jiang is willing to lend these albums?"

"Well, I offered to transcribe a copy, and my cousin agreed, as long as I don't mess or stain the original drawing."

Su Huaixiao clenched his hands into fists, eager to stand up and take the album in person.

An Yueli noticed his abnormal look, "What's wrong, but what's wrong?" ”

Shu Huaixiao didn't answer the rhetorical question, "Do you know how important these maps are to the army?" ”

"Marching and fighting are naturally inseparable from Yutu......" she said and paused, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that when the prince was in the army before, he didn't even have a map?" ”

"Yes, but it's rough. When marching, it is necessary to send vanguards to explore the road, and the march time is often delayed because of the unfamiliar road conditions. ”

"The soldiers are fast, no wonder the prince cares about this." An Yueli said and took the initiative to hand over the atlas to the other party, "I only heard that the prince was brave and brave, but I didn't know what the level of the prince Danqing was.

These maps drawn by my cousin are very detailed, and I am afraid that it will be a little difficult for me to transcribe them alone, can I bother the prince to do me a favor? ”
