Crown Princess

It was indeed a letter from Jianzhou Mansion, but it was not from her father's hand. After Bai Xiaoduo handed it to her obediently, Bai Luo opened the letter dubiously.The words are familiar, especially the flamboyantly raised brush at the end, which made Bai Luo laugh out loud.

"Miss……"

After reading it several times, Bailuo's smile deepened, and she folded her lips and said, "What are you doing? Brother Jixiang is going to Beijing, what a happy event, Xiaoduo, why are you still hiding it?"

The few lines of large characters in the eloquent way completely revealed Gu's arrogant temper, saying that he will be transferred to Beijing High School after April, what does it mean that Xiao Rongrong washes his neck and waits eagerly?

The usual tone, except for the extra joy, was really nothing out of the ordinary, but the listener suddenly felt dissatisfied, with his mouth curled up, Bai Xiaoduo said: "Miss! Mr. Gu, he is so happy..."

Before the rice paper letter paper sprinkled with mottled gold powder was folded, Bai Luo's eyes widened, she turned her head to look at Bai Xiaoduo, and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "What nonsense are you talking about? Shhh!"

Bai Luo, who has always had an extremely rough emotional line, really has no second thoughts about Gu Jixiang. For a few moments, she thought that if she couldn't find someone to marry in this life, she would be able to reluctantly tie Gu Jixiang up. I came to Baitang, but now it's different.

There is a saying that the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are obsessed. Although Bai Xiaoduo has already seen someone Gu, she is running wildly on the road to chase his wife, but she wants to save face and suffer. Now the two of them have no chance at all. Pity her, a loyal Gu fan.

After receiving the letter, Bailuo took a few steps forward, patted Bai Xiaoduo's arm, and said with a blink of an eye, "Brother Jixiang will always be Brother Jixiang, don't think about it, he's here, we finally have backup, right? Ha ha."

The feeling of fighting alone is really not good. Even though Wei Mingzhen, who is sometimes yin and yang, secretly helps, the person Bailuo trusts most in her heart is still Gu Jixiang.

Bai Xiaoduo was half-knowledgeable, and wanted to say something, but Bai Luo grabbed her wrist and only heard.

"Don't think about it anymore, come here and rub your arms for me, I was fooled by that witch again today, I can hardly lift my hands, hiss."

After noon, someone came to the side hall, saying that Wei Mingzhen's medicine order had arrived, and called Bai Luo to take care of it.It was Bai Luo, who was dreaming soundly, so she had to pass by in a daze, but within the time of a stick of incense, she arrived, but Wei Mingzhen was not there.

"What about Your Highness?"

Xi'er, who was standing by the gate of the palace, hurried over and replied with a smile: "Your Highness went to Fu'an Pavilion, and I heard that it is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who is asking to see you."

Minister of the Ministry of officials?Bai Luo thought for a moment, a little curious, why is this senior official who is in charge of dispatching officials in the court, and why is he in the East Palace now?I can't help but think of the letterhead I read just now. Gu Jixiang seems to have mentioned his entry into the job, and there was a slight discrepancy, so it was pushed to four months later.

"Miss, where are you going?"

Naturally, to intercept people, Bai Luo thought, when the Minister of the Ministry of Officials comes out, she can go to the side to ask Gu Jixiang, so that he will not wait blindly.

However, things like this plan always changed for no reason. When she arrived at Fu'an Pavilion, Bai Luo subconsciously squatted in the corner and began to eavesdrop. Fortunately, under the eaves of Feilong, the guards pretended not to see it.

"Since the term of office has expired, it will be arranged according to the usual system, so why do you have doubts?"

Undoubtedly, it was Wei Mingzhen's voice, without a trace of tenderness at all, but with an oppressive smile, he said it casually.

Immediately afterwards, there was an unfamiliar middle-aged male voice, and he was very respectful: "Your Highness doesn't know something. Last year, His Majesty mentioned this incident by accident, saying that it is a talent that cannot be buried, but later..."

"kindness?"

"Later, when His Majesty cast the pot in the imperial garden, I was fortunate to be by the king's side. At that time, His Majesty said yes, the green trees are sprouting shade, and it is useless. In this way, I really don't know what to do."

Bai Luo still didn't know who they were talking about, but she knew that this person might have a difficult future. Just as she was thinking about it, Wei Mingzhen said with a cold smile: "I know a little bit about the general's personality. Auspiciousness can be used."

Bai Xiaoduo beside her couldn't help being suspicious, and Bai Luo covered her mouth in an instant, never thinking that she came here at the right time.I heard that many officials in the previous dynasty were convicted because of Mengyin's official position, and the emperor disliked the monopoly of official power the most. I think the so-called Cangmu refers to her father.

What Bailuo couldn't figure out the most was Wei Mingzhen, who had poisoned people before, so why did she still want to be promoted now?

Originally, Wei Mingzhen's words had come to this point, and a smart person should immediately know what to do, but the Minister of the Ministry of Officials still had some scruples and said: "Your Highness, I also heard earlier that Mr. Gu is a rare and good official. , and he is good friends with the Crown Princess, it would be the best if he could win him over for his own use, but someone is obstructing this matter."

"Oh? Let's listen to it." This time, Wei Mingzhen seemed to be in a good mood.

"This month, it happens to be the time for officials all over the country to change their seals. Most of the official seals sent from all over the country are complete. I also received a copy from Jianzhou before, which should be together with the seals. It was sent, but there is no seal that Mr. Gu wants to change, I am afraid that someone has tampered with it."

This is so weird, Bai Luo has changed her seal in previous years, except this time, she followed the normal procedure in the past few years, first received the order from the official department, and then was sent to the capital immediately. However, if the job changer fails to hand in the seal within the time limit, he will be left without food.

What about Gu Jixiang's official seal?

"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, after I found out about this matter, I wrote a special letter and sent someone to Jianzhou in private, but I haven't heard of it for a long time."

"Zhao Qing, you should investigate this matter secretly. Father will not let anyone do it intentionally. It must be that there is an inner ghost in your bureaucracy. I want to see who is so courageous."

"The minister obeys the order."

When Zhao Shangshu came out of the palace, he was sweating profusely. He walked to the corner of the palace corridor and was about to wipe it with his sleeves, but he happened to see Bai Luo leaning against the vermilion wall, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Prince Princess Fuan."

A man in his forties, with a square face, knife-shaped eyebrows, and a sharp side, wearing a vermilion official robe, with two innocent flying cranes on his chest, symbolizing his official status, he vaguely looks like an upright official.

How to judge its integrity?Bai Luo's gaze was on the lord's already torn official boots, and she looked back and forth. Unfortunately, the hem of the official robe was blown up by the wind, revealing a single middle finger, which was chapped and red.

The lord naturally saw where Bai Luo was looking, and he didn't see anything ugly, so he just asked, "I wonder if the Crown Princess has something important to do?"

Knowing that she was impolite, Bai Luo hurriedly looked away, with a smile in her bright eyes, she said very calmly: "Just now, I also heard it, and I heard that Your Excellency has been in charge of the Ministry of Officials for more than ten years. Your Excellency should not have ignored this matter." It's only half eyebrows."

Zhao Chengzhong was a little embarrassed for a moment, thinking that even the crown prince heard it, so the crown prince should have heard it just now, but he didn't poke him. Thinking about it, he felt a little cold on his back, and watching him laughing like a flower Crown Princess, he is really speechless.

"At this time, the matter is of great importance. Some of it is just my conjecture. Without any evidence, it is inconvenient to inform the Crown Princess. Please forgive me."

With the expected answer, Bai Luo didn't think she could be more convincing than Wei Mingzhen. She looked at Mr. Shang Shu who was neither humble nor overbearing, and then said, "I'm just asking casually, and my lord knows it. The Palace Guren, I know his ability better than anyone else, he is a good official, I hope the Lord can find out as soon as possible so that he can take office as soon as possible."

"Princess, don't worry, I will do my best to investigate whether it is public or private."

"Miss, it can't really be Your Majesty, right?" Bai Xiaoduo whispered just now when the person walked away.

Bai Luo shook her head, and said with certainty: "No, if it's really Your Majesty, why should you be so sneaky."

Moreover, as Zhao Shangshu said just now, with the relationship between her and Gu Jixiang, Wei Mingzhen can definitely accept individual talents into the account, and the emperor who wholeheartedly wants to support Wei Mingzhen will definitely not miss this opportunity.

"When did you learn to eavesdrop?"

The voice suddenly coming from behind startled Bai Luo, she looked back hastily, and she saw that it was Wei Mingzhen, who had changed into a pure white long dress, with the flying phoenix pattern inlaid with black pearls, which was extremely high-end and eye-catching, narrowed The fretwork satin sleeves, and it's a cool breeze, standing under a few green bamboos, with long hair fluttering, it has a different charm.

Stunned for a second or two, Bai Luo quickly came back to her senses, and she couldn't blame Wei Mingzhen, who was also eavesdropping, so she pointed to her pale complexion and said, "Didn't the imperial doctor tell you to rest?"

Her obviously flattering attitude made Wei Mingzhen laugh, and her thin lips, which seemed to be dyed bright red, twitched slightly, with a very beautiful curve, which made people a little fascinated.

"For your brother Jixiang, can I not get up and listen?"

She didn't forget how Bai Luo used to yell at her, her brother Ji Xiang was a good official.

It was against my will to hear these words, and there seemed to be a sense of sourness?Bai Luo suppressed her laughter several times, shook her shoulders, blinked her bright black eyes, and said to Wei Mingzhen, "Then thank you, Your Highness."

On the way back to the Piandian Hall, it was rare that there was no smell of gunpowder between the two of them. Bai Luo didn't mention the matter of being cheated in the morning, and only focused on Gu Jixiang's matter. Fortunately, Wei Mingzhen was not very displeased, and even Uncharacteristically, he and Bai Luo smiled and flirted.

Nanye's heart was twitching from the back of it. Little Luobo, who was not enlightened, was getting more and more easily deceived.

After returning to the side hall, the palace servants brought soup and medicine, and after Wei Mingzhen drank it, they had lunch together. Originally, Nanye was waiting for some fruit after dinner, but Wei Mingzhen gave orders, Disappeared in an instant.

"Did Gu Jixiang write you a letter?" It wasn't a doubtful affirmation.

Holding the little white jade cup, Bai Luo paused slightly, let go of her guard, nodded and said: "Well, he mentioned some minor problems, and he will be here in about four months, but I didn't expect it to be like this. "

Wei Mingzhen, who was leaning on the soft couch, twirled the red lotus on the desk, and smiled meaningfully.
