Princess Guanlan looked at Liu Yiyi with burning eyes and smiled mysteriously, like a cunning and willful little fox, "Of course the queen mother and father don't know, I only told you, if it spreads, that's what you said." ”

Damn, are princesses so willful and crazy?

Liu Yiyi looked carefully up and down, it was true, just the two of them, and hurriedly promised, "Princess, I will never talk nonsense, but don't be impulsive." It's definitely not as dangerous out there as you might think. ”

Princess Guanlan saw Liu Yiyi's frightened little face and nervousness, and then comforted Liu Yiyi, coaxed Liu Yiyi, and chuckled: "Don't worry, Yiyi." I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what to look like. If I didn't do it, I wouldn't have waited until now. Anyway, your fourth uncle doesn't have a crush on anyone yet, I still have time, you help me keep it secret. ”

Liu Yiyi was slightly relieved when she heard Princess Guanlan say this, "Princess, you are golden and smart, you will definitely be able to distinguish right from wrong, and know the severity, so the courtier will be relieved." ”

None of the people in the harem are easy to mess with.

When she was in the Great Jin Dynasty, she could have strong means to fight against those people in the palace, but now she is just a courtier, and the other party is a princess, at least on the bright side, Liu Yiyi can't snub this Guanlan princess.

Princess Guanlan smiled, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm very easy to get along with." ”

At this moment, the old lady beside the queen came over and said, "Princess, the queen is worried that the princess will catch a cold outside, so she specially asked the slave maid to come over and ask the princess to go back early, so as not to freeze and catch cold." ”

Princess Guanlan nodded, put away the cunning in her eyes, and was the well-behaved and sensible little princess again, "Thank you, Mama, Guanlan will go back with Yiyi immediately." ”

The current Liu Yiyi will not be fooled by the illusion of Princess Guanlan, this princess lives a naughty little devil in her heart. Whimsical, stubborn, and even daring.

After coming back, Princess Guanlan said that she and Liu Yiyi were familiar at first sight, and they were very speculative, so they specially left Liu Yiyi to eat in the palace.

Liu Yiyi felt bitter in her heart, she actually didn't want to be familiar with Princess Guanlan at first sight, let alone be very speculative, and she didn't want to know Princess Guanlan's secret.

The more you know, the more troublesome it becomes.

At this time, Shen Bingzhu was meeting Emperor Zhou Ping.

When Emperor Zhou Ping heard that Shen Bingzhu, the county commander of Qingfeng County, had arrived, he hurriedly put down the red pen in his hand and stood up, "Hehe, Shen Tanhua, who I hand-picked, has made a great contribution, and I can be rewarded." ”

Emperor Zhou Ping spoke highly of Shen Bingzhu's work from the bottom of his heart.

At the beginning of the dynasty, only the Central Plains were under control, and many other places were in the hands of local people, and the imperial court was unable to send troops. Not only were there no soldiers, but there was not enough silver in the treasury.

After years of war, the treasury was empty, the people were displaced, the population plummeted, disasters were frequent, the people were struggling to make a living, the court was in turmoil, and internal and external troubles were troubled.

In particular, the situation in the southwest is troubling and worrying.

At that time, Emperor Zhou Ping tried to send Shen Bingzhu over, hoping that smart people would use everything around him to integrate local forces. Unexpectedly, it took less than half a year for this Shen Bingzhu to be fully integrated, and he also recommended local people who found high-yield seeds to come to the capital to donate good seeds.

Not only did it appease the bandits in Zhao'an, and the bandits turned into elite soldiers, but it also solved the food problem.

After those high-yield varieties were transported to the disaster-stricken south, many people were rescued and the country of the Great Zhou was stabilized.

When Emperor Zhou Ping's chamberlain Liang Gonggong heard the emperor's evaluation of Shen Tanhua, he firmly remembered that this Shen Tanhua had an unusual status in His Majesty's heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liang's father-in-law should go down and personally go out to greet Shen Bingzhu.

When Gonggong Liang saw Shen Bingzhu, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Shen Tanhua, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Shen Bingzhu was also polite, neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed his hand, "There is Lao Liang's father-in-law." ”

When Emperor Zhou Ping saw Shen Bingzhu, he laughed, "Shen Aiqing, you did a good job." Next, you can choose the thousands of miles of the Great Zhou, and you can go wherever you want to go. ”

Shen Bingzhu was stunned, and immediately smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and for recognizing Wechen's achievements, Wechen is grateful." Qingfeng County is completely under the control of the imperial court, but there are no other places, and it is still difficult for the southwest province to be firmly controlled by the imperial court. In addition, some small barbarian countries in the surrounding areas saw the rich Great Zhou, and they began to move again, and they had to guard against it. ”

When Emperor Zhou Ping heard Shen Bingzhu's words, he immediately understood Shen Bingzhu's words, this was to continue to stay in the southwest. According to the information from the people below, it is true that as Shen Bingzhu said, the rest of the southwest province is not as rich and stable as Qingfeng County.

In addition, those neighboring countries are indeed beginning to move, and if they are replaced by ordinary officials, who are not familiar with them when they get there, they may not be able to stop the invasion of small barbarian countries.

Emperor Zhou Ping nodded, and immediately decided, "Shen Aiqing, that official will leave you the official position of the Southwest Prefect, I hope you can make persistent efforts and achieve better results." ”

Shen Bingzhu replied respectfully: "Weichen must live up to his mission, not let His Majesty down, and do his best to protect the country and not give up an inch of land." After the victory, it was necessary to cede the land of the other side and make them pay the price of gold and silver. Only by letting them know that they are in pain, that they are afraid, and that they are afraid of the price they have to pay, will they not be able to make easy mistakes in the future. ”

Emperor Zhou Ping did not misunderstand Shen Bingzhu, he looked polite, but his methods were tough, and he must not have sour thoughts and practices.

Emperor Zhou Ping nodded, and thought deeply, "Shen Aiqing, I have full authority over the affairs of the Southwest Mansion to you, and I hope you can cooperate with the Marquis of Qingfeng Yiwen and Yiwu to protect and govern the Southwest." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Bingzhu responded, respectfully.

Of course, Emperor Zhou Ping also wanted to reward Shen Bingzhu, it was necessary to be promoted, and there were many rewards in private.

Emperor Zhou Ping specially left Shen Bingzhu to eat in the palace today, and heard that the daughter of the Marquis of Qingfeng also entered the palace and was visiting the queen, so he took Shen Bingzhu directly to Fengqi Palace.

Shen Bingzhu and Liu Yiyi entered Beijing together, and they were both in Qingfeng County, so they were very familiar with each other.

Eating together can also have more topics to talk about.

Liu Yiyi and Shen Bingzhu looked at each other and saw a little helplessness in each other's eyes.

Especially Liu Yiyi was a little relieved to see that Princess Guanlan didn't pay much attention to Shen Bingzhu.

Dead friends, immortal poor friends.

Princess Guanlan likes the fourth uncle, which is better than Shen Bingzhu.

Liu Yiyi didn't want to fight with a much-loved princess because of her children's affection, it was too troublesome.

The queen looked at Shen Bingzhu's eyes, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, quite like a married mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

The queen asked softly: "Shen Tanhua, you are not young, but you have a marriage?" ”
