Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

"I..." Yuan Chen's heart tightened and he was a little at a loss for a moment, "What have I done..."

"The previous dynasty was unstable and people's hearts were fluctuating. The emperor was too impatient." Yun Qinghe patted his back and advised softly, "The emperor should know who are the people around him who are sincerely loyal to him. Sharp knives should not be used against him. Internally, it should be externally.”

"I understand what the emperor is thinking. Although Mr. Xie is a civil servant, he has got a daughter of the Song family as his wife. Although Wan Zhou is a married woman, he has a husband as strong as Lian Yan. The Yongcheng Hou Mansion has great glory for a while. It is not unreasonable for the emperor to be afraid."

"I was wrong." Yuan Chen frowned, with guilt on his face, "She returned all the military power I gave to Song Huixin. Although Lian Yan was strong, he did not enter the court. Only I could not handle it. When he comes, he will lead troops to support him, and Shen Qing is happy..."

Yuan Chen didn't say the rest of the words, but his face was already as pale as paper.

To rectify the Yongcheng Hou Mansion is tantamount to breaking one's own right and left arm.

Yuan Chen closed his eyes and slammed his fist on the table with a painful look on his face, "What on earth have I done!"

"Your Majesty..." Yun Qinghe was startled by his actions and hurriedly held his hand, his eyes full of heartache, "Since we were wrong, we have to find a way to make up for it. Mr. Xie followed you when you were still the prince. I am loyal to you and will never be separated from the Emperor."

"I hope so." Yuan Chen had a headache right now, and he wanted to slap himself twice to vent his anger.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I and Wanzhou are close friends. When I have some free time, I will invite her into the palace to chat about family affairs." Yun Qinghe comforted him with a soft tone.

A faint smile appeared on Yuan Chen's lips, and he whispered, "Qinghe, thanks to you."

Yun Qinghe lowered his head slightly and smiled sweetly, "I and the emperor are one and the same. It is my duty to share the emperor's worries and solve problems."

Yuan Chen looked at her for a long time before he raised his hand to touch her cheek and said solemnly, "Prime Minister Yun really raised you well. You are knowledgeable, polite, smart and calm."

Yun Qinghe covered his mouth and snickered, his eyes full of tenderness, "I am no longer a little girl who cries over two bunches of candied haws."

Hearing this, Yuan Chen also laughed out loud, with a hint of endearment flashing in his eyes that he was not even aware of.

Unknowingly, the two hearts got closer.

涿县

On the second floor of the inn, Shen Ji sat alone at the table, looking coldly at the carriage outside through the window.

The carriage looks low-key and simple, but there is a mystery hidden inside. The breeze blows and the curtains are lifted, revealing the luxurious ornaments and blankets woven with gold threads inside.

With a quick glance, Shen Ji concluded that the decoration of this carriage was worth at least a thousand pieces of gold.

"Sir, Magistrate Tang is here."

Wen Mo walked into the house, taking into account the presence of outsiders, and his behavior was quite acceptable and could be called safe.

Hearing this, Shen Ji curled his lips, with a faint smile on his face, and said quietly, "Please come in quickly."

"Yes." Wen Mo responded, turned around and invited the man into the house.

When the man saw Shen Ji, he hurriedly saluted and behaved cautiously, "I have met Mr. Shen in my lower official position, Tang Zhousheng."

Shen Ji's eyes darkened slightly, and he glanced around the man.

The man was short and fat, with a big belly. The flesh on his face trembled when he spoke, and his face was oily, which was very inconsistent with his washed-to-white clothes with a few patches.

Tang Zhousheng seemed to be deliberately distant, and Xiaohuangdou glanced at Shen Ji helplessly.

Shen Ji curled his lips, raised his hand towards him, and said warmly, "There is no need for you to be polite, Magistrate Tang. Please sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Master Shen." Tangzhou Sheng walked over timidly, unable to hide his nervousness, "I don't know why Master Shen came to Zhuoxian, but what's the secret order from above?"

<divclass="contentadv">When he said this, Tang Zhousheng stared at Shen Ji closely, as if he was afraid of missing the subtle emotions on his face.

"I was just passing by by accident. I heard that Zhuo County suffered a flood not long ago, with numerous deaths and injuries, so I came here to ask." Shen Ji's face was calm, making it impossible to find anything wrong. "I don't know what Magistrate Tang's taste is, so I don't know. Ordering dishes, I’m new to Zhuoxian, so I don’t know what the specialties are, so I have to trouble Magistrate Tang to order some dishes.”

Hearing Shen Ji's words, Tang Zhousheng breathed a sigh of relief and grinned, "Don't worry, Sir Shen. When you come to Zhuoxian, your subordinates will naturally treat you well."

"Little Second!"

"Come on." The waiter ran into the house holding the tray. When he saw it was Tang Zhousheng, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Master Tang, it's you who are here."

Tang Zhousheng nodded, moved his fingers casually, and said in a loud voice, "Here comes eight-treasure duck, sheepskin filigree, wine-steamed lamb... Bring over all your specialty dishes."

"Okay!" the waiter responded, licking the brush with the tip of his tongue and writing on the paper.

Seeing that Tang Zhousheng was very skillful in ordering dishes and acted like a regular customer, Shen Ji raised his eyebrows, with a flash of interest in his eyes.

This is the largest inn in Zhuo County, and the food is not cheap. But this guy only ordered the most expensive dishes, so he didn't worry about his wallet at all.

Shen Ji smiled lightly and said nothing, then raised his hand to pour a glass of wine for Tang Zhou Sheng.

"Hey, how can you let Mr. Shen pour wine for the official?" Tang Zhousheng looked frightened and hurriedly tried to shirk, "Your Excellency, you have really embarrassed the official."

"There are no other people here, so Magistrate Tang doesn't have to be polite." Shen Ji raised the corners of his mouth slightly, put down the wine bottle in his hand, and said in a deep voice.

Tang Zhou Sheng retracted his hand angrily, scratched his head and said with a smile, "I have long heard that Mr. Shen is as beautiful as a flower on a high mountain in the clear breeze and bright moon. I thought he was a rare and beautiful man. I thought it was rumored before, but when I saw him today, it turned out to be true."

Shen Ji's brows were warm and his eyes were clear. He looked very friendly and not harsh at all.

Tang Zhousheng thought that he had flattered the right person, and he felt very complacent in his heart. He worked harder and harder on his words, "Master Shen has been promoted to three levels in six months. It is a legend. To be able to dine at the same table with the master is for a lower official." pleasure."

Shen Ji looked at him with a smile and suddenly changed the subject, "There was a flood at the border of Zhuoxian County and many houses were submerged. I wonder how the reconstruction is going?"

Tang Zhousheng's expression paused, and his smile froze on his face, "Reconstruction...what reconstruction?"

Shen Ji looked at him, pretending not to know, "Didn't the imperial court allocate disaster relief funds? Or... County Magistrate Tang didn't receive the money?"

"The disaster relief funds..." Tangzhou laughed awkwardly and said calmly, "Of course I received it and put it into reconstruction, but the money is not enough and the progress is slow."

"That's it." Shen Ji nodded, his tone calm.

Tang Zhousheng blinked, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Shen Ji's voice sounded again.

"Why don't you wait until after dinner and Magistrate Tang will take me to the disaster area to have a look."

Shen Ji looked calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Shen...Master Shen..." Tang Zhousheng was stunned for a long time, then twitched the corners of his stiff lips and whispered, "The situation in the disaster area is not good now. The water can cover half of the body. You..."

"It's okay." Shen Ji interrupted him and responded with a smile, "In your position and receiving a salary from the court, you should do things for the people."

"Look at the sweat on Magistrate Tang's head. What are you nervous about?"
