The Grand Princess

Chapter 101: Awards

"What are you doing?" Pei Wenxuan was a little surprised when she asked her to get darts.

Li Rong seemed to smile, "I know you learned this from Su Ronghua, so you have to ask Ayaliu what his portrait is."

After thinking about it, Pei Wenxuan reacted: "She kept his portrait... to vent her anger?"

"What do you think?" Li Rong laughed loudly, "Is it impossible to see things and think about people?"

Pei Wenxuan knew it, he nodded, and then waved to the person next to him: "Then remove these portraits."

At this time, Jingmei had already touched the dart and sent it over. Pei Wenxuan saw the dart and felt his heart beat. Before the dart was delivered to Li Rong, he raised his hand and moved the plate with the dart directly. When he reached his hand, he turned his head and handed it to the young man next to him, instructing: "A sharp weapon hurts people, don't let your highness touch these things. Hurry up," Pei Wenxuan turned his head and waved his hand to the side, "Raise the portrait quickly. go."

Li Rong smiled and watched Pei Wenxuan greet people to do this, and when Pei Wenxuan finished his instructions, he went to the study with her.

"I heard that your Royal Highness met with Master Liu recently," Pei Wenxuan asked, "Is Your Royal Highness busy with a transfer?"

"Don't worry about this."

Li Rong waved his hand: "A trivial matter, it's not enough, don't worry."

"It seems that Your Highness is very sure." Pei Wenxuan said with a smile, "Weichen is waiting for your highness."

"Don't worry," Li Rong raised the fan and tapped Pei Wenxuan's chest lightly, "I will definitely give you a surprise when the time comes."

Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and said, "The Weichen thanked Your Highness first."

Li Rong gave Pei Wenxuan a stern look. She didn't have the gesture of ingratiating that she had occasionally shown before. She felt a little bit disappointed in her heart. She coughed lightly, and said cautiously: "Pei Wenxuan, have you felt..."

"Huh?" Pei Wenxuan tilted his head, "What?"

"Do you think," Li Rong gestured, "I feel a little better for you?"

Hearing what Li Rong said, Pei Wenxuan knew what Li Rong was thinking. He lowered his head and smiled: "His Royal Highness has always been good to the ministers."

"Do you think it's more? Better than before?"

Pei Wenxuan lowered his head and smiled, feeling that Li Rong seemed to be a child begging for sugar. He whispered: "Your Highness's kindness, Weichen knows."

"It's fine if you know it, and I won't waste my pains."

Li Rong felt a little relieved when he got Pei Wenxuan's words. She turned her head and reached out to Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan raised her eyebrows. Li Rong laughed, "Cultivate feelings, I'm used to it."

Pei Wenxuan couldn't stop it, and finally laughed out. He stretched out his hand, took Li Rong's hand, and walked to the dining room with Li Rong, and said with a smile: "It's all arranged by Your Highness."

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong held hands with him, she whispered, "You tell me the truth."

"Huh?" Pei Wenxuan looked at her sideways, Li Rong seemed a little happy, "Are you jealous?"

"His Royal Highness is joking," Pei Wenxuan smiled, "What kind of jealous does the Weichen have?"

"Oh, that's good." Li Rong nodded, "There is a talk on Aya tomorrow. I plan to check it out. I heard that there is a scholar named Yang this year..."

"There are not enough talks at home, so should I go to another place to see it?"

Pei Wenxuan narrowed his mouth and opened his mouth. Li Rong turned to look at him. After staring for a moment, Li Rong laughed out loud.

"Duplicity."

Li Rong turned her head, with her hands behind her back, and walked forward happily.

Pei Wenxuan stood behind her for a moment, and he sneered: "It's all crooked and blind."

After speaking, he raised his hand and rubbed his face, restored his usual gentle smile, and followed Li Rong forward.

Seeing that it was at the end of February, Li Rong talked to the staff of the staff several times, confirmed that they were cleared up and down, and added Pei Wenxuan's name to the list of staff transfers, and Li Rong was relieved.

Since Li Rong was in charge of this matter, Pei Wenxuan completely let go, only occasionally asking about Li Rong's progress.

When Pei Wenxuan asked, Li Rong felt annoyed and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you not believe me?"

Pei Wenxuan was choked, naturally he didn't dare to say yes, and quickly said: "Where is it, it's just curiosity."

Later, I dared not ask again.

However, he always likes to control things in his own hands. Now this feeling of handing over officialdom to others makes him a little uneasy. Thinking about this all day, I can't even sleep at night. But seeing Li Rong eagerly helping him, he couldn't speak up.

After all, Li Rong was treating him well, and he couldn't say much about Li Rong with such a good start.

Fortunately, this difficult time was not long. On February 26, the court set an internal list. After the list was announced, if no one participated in the performance within seven days, the transfer would begin in early March.

The 25th was the time for the final list to be changed. Li Rong was worried and went to Liu Chunhang again. After Liu Chunhang repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem, Li Rong was relieved.

Liu Chunhang escorted Li Rong out of the Liu Mansion. After reaching the door, Li Rong raised his hand to put his hat on, turned around and whispered to Liu Chunhang, "Master Liu, you don't have to send it anymore, this palace will leave first."

"His Royal Highness walk slowly."

Liu Chunhang whispered off, Li Rong got into the carriage, which made a clatter in the night and started to leave.

When Li Rong's carriage was far away, Liu Chunhang wiped his forehead, and an elegant voice came from secretly: "Master Liu, stay behind."

Liu Chunhang raised his head and saw a girl in Chinese dress standing in the night, with her hands folded in her sleeves, and her face in the dark could not be seen clearly, but she laughed and said: "This palace is ordered by the gentle concubine. , Come and bring a message to Master Liu."

Liu Chunhang's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly said, "My lord, please."

Li Rong was very happy when she got the job done. She felt a sense of satisfaction when she thought that Pei Wenxuan would be promoted tomorrow to thank herself.

She turned her fan and closed her eyes, seeming to be enjoying something. Jinglan looked up at Li Rong next to him, and couldn't help but laughed: "His Royal Highness helps the horseman with things, and he is happier than doing his own affairs."

"I'm used to doing my own affairs," Li Rong closed her eyes and admitted frankly, "It's the first time I'm so worried about planning for others."

"His Royal Highness is also weird," Jingmei poured tea to Li Rong. "Everyone else is happy because they are men helping women solve problems. His Majesty is petting His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness doesn't feel much happy. Now His Royal Highness is doing something for her. I am very happy."

"What do you know?" Li Rong raised his eyes and said with some pride, "It's not a skill to be spoiled by others, and a person who spoils is capable. Others love you, and when you are old and despondent, you can spoil him. It's different. If you like it, you will like it, and if you don't like it, you will leave. You are very free."

"His Royal Highness is really open-minded." Jingmei had some admiration, and Jinglan smiled and shook her head. "His Royal Highness is getting used to speaking nonsense."

"Why am I talking nonsense," Li Rong raised her eyebrows and looked at Jinglan. "What's your point?"

"His Royal Highness," Jing Lan put the peeled melon seeds in front of Li Rong and said gently, "People are happy with another person. Maybe there is no special reason, just like it."

Li Rong paused, and listened to Jinglan to continue: "This is not ashamed."

"Well," Li Rong nodded, her eyes turned out of the window, "It's really nothing shameful."

Jinglan smiled, only thinking that Li Rong was shy and didn't say much.

Li Rong looked at the busy traffic outside the window.

The weather began to warm up at the end of February, and there were more people on the street. The night market was much more prosperous than before.

Her eyes revolved on the people coming and going on the street, she looked at a pair of young men and women walking by talking and laughing, she clearly realized -

Jinglan was wrong, she subconsciously avoided it, not ashamed.

She felt scared.

But these emotions quickly converged, she just sat in the position, listening to the two maids talking and laughing, silently.

After making the final confirmation with Liu Chunhang, Li Rong no longer worried, and slept very well that night, but Pei Wenxuan was a little awake.

This year's imperial examination is very important, and many subsequent noble ministers came from this imperial examination. If he cannot enter the staff department tomorrow, he has to apply to preside over the imperial examination.

Pei Wenxuan regretted letting Li Rong do this for a while, but he thought about something. According to Li Rong's ability, there shouldn't be any problems.

He tossed around at night and couldn't sleep. Li Rong woke up in a daze, with a little unconsciousness and said, "What are you doing?"

Pei Wenxuan froze, he hesitated for a moment, turned his head, and finally asked, "Your Highness."

Li Rong opened her misty eyes and looked at Pei Wenxuan with a serious face in the night.

Pei Wenxuan looked so serious that she woke up all at once, but she didn't wake up very thoroughly. She looked at Pei Wenxuan in the night with her eyes burning.

At that moment, a thought flashed through her mind.

Could it be that Pei Wenxuan finally couldn't bear it and planned to start with her? !

Li Rong froze for a while, a little nervous. She began to think of the scene of them in bed after their two marriages in the previous life. Then she thought about whether the child would come right now if she accidentally had a child. If Pei Wenxuan left him , Will she regret raising this child by herself...

Li Rong fainted in the middle of the night, and her thoughts dispersed all the way. Pei Wenxuan saw her sleepy eyes and misty eyes. He hesitated for a moment, and considered the words: "His Royal Highness is looking for Liu Hangchun today? Are you sure that it is the position of the chief examiner?"

Li Rong immediately calmed down when Pei Wenxuan asked this.

She instantly became ashamed of herself, calmed her emotions and said: "What's the matter?"

"Liu Hangchun is a man who values ​​profits and credulity. His Royal Highness apart from giving money..."

"Oh, are you annoying."

Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's muttering, and said in pain, "You told me this in the middle of the night? You might as well sleep with me! I didn't tell you, I was asleep."

After speaking, Li Rong turned over and covered her ears with a quilt.

Seeing Li Rong’s attitude, Pei Wenxuan was speechless for a while. He lay down on the bed and relaxed for a while. He felt that he should trust Li Rong a little more, and don’t always engage in the previous kind of cleverness that would destroy Li Rong’s plan and destroy the entire army. .

He pulled out the past that he had smashed Li Rong's head in the past and reviewed it. After thinking about the record of Li Rong's court, he finally felt more at ease. When the chicken started to crow, he barely fell asleep.

When the two of them got up the next day, Li Rong slept well, but Pei Wenxuan had two dark circles under his eyes.

Li Rong looked him up and down, and couldn't help but say, "You haven't slept all night?"

Pei Wenxuan smiled, a bit sad and said: "His Royal Highness, I finally understand one thing."

Li Rong raised her eyebrows, and Pei Wenxuan gently said, "This must be a test you gave me, right?"

"Huh?" Li Rong was a little dazed, Pei Wenxuan seemed to be a wandering soul, and "floating" out of the room with some vain steps, and walked up to the hall with Li Rong. He comforted himself with an open-minded smile: "The two of us have been mistrusting each other for many years. We have always done our own hands on key and important matters. We never rest assured that we will leave other people's hands. This is the first time in our lives that we will leave such a critical matter to someone else. A test of your Highness's faith."

Listening to Pei Wenxuan's words, Li Rong couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Pei Wenxuan continued to comfort herself: "His Royal Highness is very good. As an opponent, I have never distrusted His Highness. Now I should continue to trust His Highness so much. For my sake, there is absolutely no problem with trusting His Highness's ability."

"You don't have to worry about the former," Li Rong looked back confidently, "You can rest assured for the latter."

"His Royal Highness said that." Pei Wenxuan held two dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were full of trust. "I have always believed in Your Highness."

One of them was full of confidence, the other was strong and pretended to be strong, and they reached the court together.

Because everyone knows that the most important thing today is to announce the list of transfers to the ministries, so they didn’t talk too much nonsense. After the key issues were quickly reported to one side, the official secretary came out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, now all ministries The transfer list has been decided, please read the list."

"Read it."

Li Ming brought tea from the side and agreed to Wang Houwen's request. Wang Houwen took out the list and started reading from the Ministry of Rites.

Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan have already inquired about the names of the various departments. In fact, the senior officials at the court almost knew the contents of the list, so they just listened quietly.

When they read the Criminal Ministry, both Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong were waiting to recite Pei Liming's name.

After all, Pei Liming, as the secretary of the Criminal Ministry, handled Xie Lanqing's case. In terms of seniority, political achievements, and status, they were all the most suitable candidates to take over.

However, Wang Houwen calmly finished reading: "Xingbu Shangshu -", the name that followed was, "Su Rongqing."

Pei Wenxuan raised his head suddenly and saw Li Rong look back in shock.

Li Rong also did not expect that Su Rongqing would cut his head halfway. Although he was an officer of the Criminal Ministry, he was indeed too young in terms of seniority.

And according to what she knew about Su Rongqing, he was not greedy for fame and fortune in his previous life, and seldom competed with others. It was the position of the Xingbu minister, and the family planned for him. Today, Pei Li is already the person who knows what to expect from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Su Rongqing must be the official secretary of the Criminal Ministry because of some means behind it.

Pei Wenxuan also knew this. After he and Li Rong looked at each other for a short time, they frowned and turned to look at Su Rongqing ahead.

Su Rongqing stood calmly in front of him, without squinting, as if everything was in his expectation, calmly and unhurriedly.

Days of exhaustion made him feel a little uncomfortable. At this moment, he suddenly heard Su Rongqing becoming the secretary of the criminal ministry, and looking at Su Rongqing's appearance of being born and indifferent to fame and fortune, he felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and a little breathless.

Installed.

I don’t know how many bad tricks were used, but now I’m going to pretend it!

Pei Wenxuan was so angry that his strength to squeeze the wat board was much stronger, and at this time, Wang Houwen read the list of officials.

The lists announced by the dynasty today are all five or more positive grades, and the main task of the test is from the sixth grade, so Pei Wenxuan is unprepared.

Just when he was not at all guarded, he heard Wang Houwen uttering out as if he had increased the volume: "The servant of the official department--"

"Pei Wenxuan!"

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan did not come up in a breath, he felt his eyes go dark, the sky was spinning, the whole person could no longer stop, and he fell straight back.

Before fainting, Pei Wenxuan wanted to compliment Li Rong.

Good job.

It was said that he was the master of the sixth-rank examination, and now he is directly serving as the fourth-rank servant.

At such a high position, the court is now staring at him. Even Li Ming might have other ideas.

Li Rong's ability is really too great.
