After the founding ceremony, the Supervision Department began to officially operate.

That winter was the most turbulent winter in the Great Xia Dynasty. Li Rong started with the Qin case, and after the start of the military payment case, he investigated and prosecuted more than 70 officials.

When Li Rong came out of the two cases, the distribution of military power in the Northwest finally had results. As compensation for the Qin family, Qin Feng was promoted to General Zhongwu, and Qin Lin was deputy general. Concubine Rou's brother, Xiao Su, became the Northwest General Marshal, guarding Chenzhou and commanding the Northwest Army.

Things are advancing quickly and everyone is busy. Li Rong was busy investigating the case, arresting people, and sorting out evidence.

Pei Wenxuan was busy cooperating with the Zhezi, arguing with people who opposed Li Rong, trying to clear up the private relationship.

When the court scolded Li Rong, Pei Wenxuan returned with a top ten scolding. Whoever participated in Li Rong, he participated, and who scolded Li Rong, who he scolded. By the end of the year, he was already better than the entire Yushitai. People add up to the number of participants in a year.

When he came back to the hall to fight the heroes, Pei Wenxuan didn't even want to say anything. Sometimes, after a rest, he waited for Li Rong. Li Rong came back to take a shower and fell on the bed. He said a few more words and he fell asleep.

If you don't have time to get along, you can't do anything. Fortunately, Pei Wenxuan is not in a hurry. There is always an end to the rush, and there is no time to do big things, so start with small things.

So Pei Wenxuan got up early and dressed her in the morning. In the afternoon, he ordered someone to give her a sweet soup and a poem with affection. He paid close attention to the details of her life and tried to moisten things silently. Go into her life.

By the time before the Spring Festival, things were finally settled. The officials in the court were tired. Knowing how they played Li Rong, Li Rong had not made any serious mistakes at all. She was determined to handle the case. The emperor was determined to protect him. Shangguan’s family pretended to be silent, and the prince could not persuade Li Rong. Unless they directly overthrew the court, they could not stop Li Rong from arresting people.

Coupled with the New Year approaching, the officials of the imperial court were impatient and unwilling to quarrel anymore, so Pei Wenxuan finally got off his feet. After the early morning, he calculated that Li Rong should be free today, so he came back from the government office and was in the house. Waiting.

He prepared Li Rong's favorite meals in advance, and he tuned the soothing fragrance with his own hands, and dressed them well.

It is now the coldest time of winter, but he is still wearing a white single shirt with a blue brocade and white plum cloak on the outside.

When he chose this suit, Tong Ye was so excited that he couldn't help but reminded: "My son, it's very cold today."

Pei Wenxuan straightened his neckline. After a while, he pointed to the cabinet and said, "You bring a thicker jacket over here."

Pei Wenxuan made the charcoal fire in the house a little more prosperous, and he was reading a book in the house wrapped in a big jacket. When it was time for dinner, he finally heard the voice of Li Rong coming back to the house. He took off the big jacket and stuffed it to Tong Yedao: "Hurry up and hide."

Tong Ye looked at a loss, he watched Pei Wenxuan sort out his clothes in the mirror, and quickly got up to meet him.

Pei Wenxuan hurried to the door. As soon as he walked to the front yard, he heard Li Rong talking to someone from afar: "You can't be vague about looting the ground and killing people. This is a big crime. Take some chronic poison in the medicine and let him be fed. It will be treated as a serious illness. After the treatment, go to his father and persuade him that his son is dead anyway. Don’t make trouble. The Shangguan’s family is private. Go down and apologize to the family members and lose the money. In this way, when they are checked in the future, they will say that he is guilty and uneasy, and he committed suicide.

As Li Rong spoke, Pei Wenxuan saw her walking in with Shangguanya.

It was getting colder in winter, but Li Rong did not wear a thick coat like others. She just looked a little thicker in her clothes. She was wearing a white fox fur coat. She looked fluffy and looked a little cute. .

Pei Wenxuan smiled and waited for her on the promenade. Li Rong was still talking to Shangguanya seriously. The two girls hadn't seen her at all. Shangguanya whispered: "I understand that I will do it before your majesty officially takes action against the prince. Clean up Shangguan's house."

"Do they listen to you?" Li Rong frowned, Shangguan Ya smiled, "I investigated the case, and at the same time promoted some concubines who were not taken seriously in the past to help. Your Highness helped recommend them. Sweet, I have to make trouble for those who don't go well with me. It's still cooperation. After all, it's nothing more than a resignation if it doesn't move.

"Then your hands and feet should be clean." Li Rong exhorted, Shangguanya nodded.

The two of them walked past Pei Wenxuan while talking, and Pei Wenxuan followed silently. They did not realize that there was one more person behind, and only continued to discuss business matters.

"Did those family members look for your father?"

"I found it," Shangguan Ya laughed. "How could it not be possible? They wanted to find someone to persuade you. I heard that the queen mother in the palace had all talked about it. I went to say hello to the queen mother in advance, and the queen mother is now behind closed doors. Now, don't worry."

"That's good."

Li Rong and Shangguanya said, she pondered for a moment: "Then they have only one way to go."

Shangguanya nodded, she understood Li Rong's meaning in her heart, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, take care."

"Yeah." Li Rong thought, "You too."

As the two said, Shangguanya sat down and talked aside many details. By the time Shangguanya and Li Rong had finished discussing it, it was already night. Shangguanya left and stood up, only to realize that Pei Wenxuan was standing here. , She was stunned, then smiled at Pei Wenxuan, and said, "I'm disturbed, please don't be offended."

Pei Wenxuan smiled and raised his hand: "Miss Shangguan, go slowly."

Shangguanya hurried out. Li Rong took a sigh of relief and took a sip of tea. She raised her head tiredly and said slowly, "I heard that you are going to be promoted to the staff?"

"Your Majesty intends to open Enke this year."

After Pei Wenxuan walked to Li Rong, he raised his hand on Li Rong’s forehead and said peacefully: “Now that you have so many people, there are not enough people in the court. Your Majesty plans to hold the imperial examination in advance and choose a group of people. Going to the staff department, there will be a group of students."

Daxia’s method of selecting talents is based on the first class, and the second is the imperial examination. Most discerning people know that the imperial examination was originally a method used by the emperor to suppress the noble family. After the test, they are all placed in some irrelevant positions.

For example, last year's New Division champion Cui Yulang was placed in the Ministry of Rites as a member of the fifth-tier master. It sounded good, but it was irrelevant and had no real power.

So now the imperial examination matter is said to be important, but the powerful ministers in the DPRK don’t care much at all, and don’t bother to fight for the position of the examiner; if it’s not important, after all, some people will want to come when they are choosing people for oil and water. Take a bite.

Both Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong knew that the most important thing to become an examiner of the imperial examination was never to get a sum of money from the children of the Han nationality at that time. It was the officials who passed through and finally flowed into the officialdom. There is a bond with the examiner. If the examiner will manage some, these people will even treat the examiner as a "teacher" in the courtroom, and promote and take care of each other.

This was one of the sources of many supporters of Pei Wenxuan. Li Rong was not surprised that Pei Wenxuan was going to manage the imperial examination.

Especially when she cut a lot of vacancies.

"You go directly from Yushitai, I am afraid it will not be easy." Li Rong thought for a while, "There are many people who bother you now."

"Thanks to your highness," Pei Wenxuan laughed. He gently pressed Li Rong's temple and whispered in a low voice, "But don't worry, I'm already working."

Li Rong responded and Pei Wenxuan rubbed her acupuncture points. She smelled the incense from Pei Wenxuan's cuffs, which made her rare and peaceful. She didn't know what happened, and she didn't want to think about political affairs. She didn't say anything. Pei Wenxuan looked at her expression and whispered: "His Royal Highness, shall we eat together?"

Li Rong nodded, Pei Wenxuan helped her get up, and then his hand slid down and gently held her.

The cold winter made the temperature in his hand feel a bit nostalgic. Li Rong was too tired and didn't think. Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when she saw that she didn't speak or resist. He squinted at her and carefully looked at her. With a look, he coughed and said, "His Royal Highness, do you eat in the bedroom or go to the dining room?"

"You decide."

Li Rong listened to his words, recovered, and spoke softly, Pei Wenxuan immediately said: "Go to the bedroom."

Seeing him returning so quickly, Li Rong couldn't help but feel a little skeptical. She only looked at him at this time, and she discovered that in this winter, Pei Wenxuan was still wearing such a thin, jade crown and flower shirt, as if it were still in the prime of spring.

But I have to say that such a Pei Wenxuan is very handsome, pulling her forward, like a romantic boy leading his lover on the outing, and there is a little silent youth in the tenderness, if she is a Little girl, looking up like this, I'm afraid I can look forward to a lifetime.

Li Rong's gaze fell on his face, he led him into the room, and when he opened the door, Li Rong saw the small table arranged inside, Xinhuan's winter plum, and the specially tuned incense, she knew in her heart.

She didn't show it on her face, just squinted at a serious Pei Wenxuan from the corner of her face, pretending to not notice anything, entered the house, and said slowly: "It seems to be a bit colder today than before."

Pei Wenxuan responded, raised his hand and closed the door, and entered the house: "Indeed, I let people add charcoal fire, does your Highness still feel cold?"

"I'm not cold," Li Rong looked up at him with a smile, "I just saw you dressed thinly, aren't you cold?"

"I'm tough, I didn't stay outdoors much," Pei Wenxuan said, walked into the room and sat across from Li Rong, "This is enough."

Li Rong nodded, but her heart was full of laughter.

Pei Wenxuan is a civil servant, she knows his patience, but if he wants to do it, she doesn't speak, but says: "Let's eat."

With that, Li Rong raised his hand and dropped his chopsticks.

This meal obviously took a lot of thought, but I didn’t think it in the past. Today, Li Rong took a close look and found out that not only did she like to eat all the meals, but also the meat and vegetables were properly matched to suit her habits. Coriander, thin slices of meat, put more chopped green onion.

Li Rong watched, not knowing whether he should be surprised or relieved.

During the years when Pei Wenxuan lived with her, she knew her habits thoroughly.

Knowing her this way, it is really not difficult to poison her. Fortunately, he didn't have this thought back then, otherwise she was afraid that she would have died long ago.

Thinking of this, Li Rong couldn't help but feel a little scared, and looked up at Pei Wenxuan.

The look in his eyes was too complicated, and Pei Wenxuan felt a little hairy in his heart. He couldn't help but say, "What does your Highness look at me?"

"I want to persuade you to eat more."

As Li Rong spoke, she asked Pei Wenxuan about business affairs at random. Pei Wenxuan answered one by one, while answering, while not forgetting to ask Li Rong about some trivial matters: "His Royal Highness, did you receive yesterday's preserves?"

"received."

"how is the taste?"

"If I didn't eat it, they were all divided by subordinates."

Pei Wenxuan was blocked by this answer, and felt that the braised pork in his mouth was not fragrant.

So he couldn't help asking again: "His Royal Highness, have you received the poem I wrote?"

"received."

Li Rong remembered the acid poems he wrote every day, and it was a bit sore. Seeing her response, Pei Wenxuan said in some expectation: "How does your Royal Highness feel?"

Li Rong looked up at him, and seeing that Pei Wenxuan seemed to be planning to write poems to her every day from now on, she hurriedly said: "Write less of these things."

Li Rong, an elder, earnestly persuaded him: "You have a great talent in the world, and you are always addicted to these elegant ways. I am afraid that it will affect your mind. If you let others see, you will think you are a poet, and you must feel that you only know Poems, I don’t know about political affairs. How many politicians who are good officials write these poems?"

Pei Wenxuan was so heartbroken by Li Rongxun that he couldn't help but said, "I only write it to His Royal Highness."

"I understand," Li Rong nodded, pretending that he didn't understand what he meant, and understood, "You don't dare to write it to others. I know you are measured."

Pei Wenxuan was speechless, Li Rong had finished his meal, put down his chopsticks, and said calmly: "I'll go and see a few more zucchini for digestion, you can go ahead."

With that, Li Rong stood up and walked out. Pei Wenxuan sat at the table, feeling a little annoyed.

A meal is eaten like this, it really doesn't have any taste.

Li Rong took two steps, turned around, and saw that Pei Wenxuan was still sitting in the position, and she was quite disappointed from the back, so that Li Rong couldn’t help feeling a little bit of pity, she couldn’t help but laugh and reminded: "You still Wear more."

Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, but Li Rong watched him stand up, walked to the side skillfully, opened the cabinet, took out a thick coat, and put it on her body skillfully, saying without expression: "Your Highness, don't worry, cold Can't reach me."

With that, Pei Wenxuan put on a big jacket and went back to the side of the dinner table, raised his chopsticks and started eating.

When Li Rong saw him wearing his jacket so skillfully, it was about certain that he would not be cold.

Li Rong went back and looked at a few sheets. After half an hour, she felt tired, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and walked back.

When he arrived in the room, Pei Wenxuan had already fallen asleep, and he was also tired recently, and Li Rong was not surprised.

Li Rong didn't light up the light, so he fumbled into the room and fell asleep gently.

Not long after she slept, she felt that the person next to her turned over, and Li Rong continued to sleep with her eyes closed as he accidentally.

After a while, the man turned over again, as if a little unhappy.

Li Rong pretended to sleep soundly and didn't intend to ignore him.

No one knows what he was thinking about and was angry again, she offended him a lot, he just thought about it.

Pei Wenxuan turned over and over again, seemingly a little angry. After waiting for a long time, Li Rong was in a daze, feeling that the person next to her suddenly got up and suddenly approached her.

He came fiercely, and Li Rong stopped before he could react.

Pei Wenxuan hung above her, Li Rong held his breath, and didn't know if he should open his eyes to defend, or close his eyes to avoid embarrassment.

The two stood in a stalemate for a moment, and Pei Wenxuan frowned. After a long time, Li Rong felt that this person lowered his head and kissed her forehead lightly and tenderly.

He seemed to be afraid of her waking up, so he kissed carefully.

People are very strange. If Pei Wenxuan puts this kiss on her lips, even if he comes in with his tongue again, there is a fight between desires, she will not feel that there is anything, a head-on contest, she will too Not afraid.

But just so restrained and carefully kissed her on the forehead, then gave a low laugh, and left with satisfaction. She felt that the person was not kissing her on his forehead, but in her heart.

Like a wave of autumn water blown by the wind, ripples appeared layer by layer.

Li Rong didn't know what was wrong, so she blushed at night, she couldn't help turning over and facing Pei Wenxuan with her back.

When Pei Wenxuan saw her turning over, he lay on his side on the bed, propped his head, his eyes fell on her back, and he lowered his head and gave a chuckle.

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]

Li Rong: "Are you cold?"

Pei Wenxuan: "I am in good health, not cold."

Li Rong: "I like you young people. I can say anything just to pretend to be."
