I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

The third year of Jingrui, autumn.

After one imperial examination, Chen State was in a state of disrepair and three years passed by in a flash.

Bai Zhi went to Chenjing to report on her work. In addition to reporting on her work, she also had to recruit people.

There is a serious shortage of grassroots officials in various places, and many people are just filling in the gaps.

She must be extremely diligent and recruit all those outstanding talents under her command.

After arriving in Chenjing, I visited everywhere and had no time to see Meng Ying and the child at all.

On the day of her report, she was fully armed and dressed in an exquisite and elegant official uniform, looking very impressive.

After entering the palace, the little emperor had not arrived yet. She first met Wu Yong and talked about the past with him. An old man passed by and glared at Bai Zhi fiercely, "Humph! You only know how to seduce men!"

Bai Zhi: "..."

This old man was one of the other five Jiedushi, named Jiang Bu. He was adjacent to the territory under her jurisdiction. They often had frictions over trivial matters, and they could not reach an agreement after many talks.

They dislike each other.

In Jiang Bu's eyes, Bai Zhi got to this position by relying on her beauty and nepotism, and he looked down on Bai Zhi.

But Baizhi thought that he was just a feudal old stubborn, narrow-minded, petty, whining and unreasonable.

In the past, when Bai Zhi was angry, she would secretly write letters to Meng Ying saying bad things about him, and Meng Ying had no choice but to comfort her in the letters.

Although Jiang Bu was stubborn, he managed to build a small city out of thin air with the refugees during the war and maintained peace in the area by relying on his stubbornness.

Although he is capable, he is stubborn and Bai Zhi is often so angry with him that she scratches her head.

Meng Ying doesn't help her!

She understood Meng Ying that it was not easy to take care of the entire Chen Kingdom, but she still felt relieved by scolding him!

Soon, the little emperor came, and Meng Ying came with him.

Bai Zhi hadn't seen him for a long time, and he looked more vigorous than before. She was so angry. She was so busy every day, but he looked so calm and relaxed.

Wronged Baba.

Meng Ying noticed at a glance that Bai Zhi looked unhappy. Although he didn't know what he had done wrong, he still felt a little guilty.

Meng Xi has also grown up, gradually looking like a teenager, young and handsome, and his voice has also changed. Bai Zhi can even remember him and Jing'er playing the game of Horn King.

The performance report began and its content had been decided early on, which was just reading the memorial.

Lin Ling was also there. Lord Lin was the calmest among the military governors. After all, he was a godly man who had never let Qiongzhou suffer any damage during the war. Everyone respected him very much.

But it was different when it was Bai Zhi's turn. Every time she said a word, Jiang Bu would hum a word beside her. He looked so angry and glared that Bai Zhi wanted to roll up her sleeves and point at his nose and scold him.

But arguing here would be somewhat disrespectful to the emperor, so she held it in.

Jiang Bu was the last person to report on his work. When it was his turn, Bai Zhi wanted to fight back, but it was a bit disrespectful. She was a well-mannered person and she didn't bother with the elderly, so she held it in.

As Jiang Bu was reporting proudly, Bai Zhi saw that his tail was about to stick up in the air, so she covered her face with the memorial paper and secretly made a look of disdain, which no one saw.

But Meng Ying couldn't help laughing when she saw her slightly rolling her eyes.

After Jiang Bu finished his report, the little emperor commended and praised him one by one.

I thought this was a successful and peaceful job report, but who would have thought that old man Jiang Bu would make a complaint about Bai Zhi at the end, "Your Majesty, I have something to complain about."

In front of so many people, Meng Xi agreed. He looked like he was crying, and said, "I want to see the governor of Guannan Road, Bai Zhi, Lord Bai!"

Meng Ying couldn't help but pinch her eyebrows and raised them high.

"I want to report to you, Lord Bai, that I am not a good wife and have used my connections to bribe officials to achieve my goals. This is really corrupting the morals of the officialdom and is an unforgivable crime! I hope Your Majesty will see clearly!"

Bai Zhi was so shocked that she couldn't even close her mouth. How could she tolerate this?

Meng Ying replied first, "Lord Jiang, His Majesty has issued an order that as long as the women of Chen Country do not violate the etiquette, there is no such thing as women's virtues."

"Your Highness Prince Ning, you don't know that Lord Bai has violated all the etiquette and laws and used his beauty to bribe officials. How can this be tolerated!" Jiang Bu said seriously.

Bai Zhi immediately retorted, "Master Jiang, you have to speak with evidence. Let's not talk about where the bribe for my son came from. At my age, how can I bribe him with my beauty!"

"At your age, you are just a bit pretty, aren't you? Just because I don't like you doesn't mean that someone else who has made a mistake will not like you!"

Meng Ying felt that the person who had misjudged someone was scolding him. He sighed inaudibly, "Master Jiang, beauty cannot be used as a criterion for judgment. If you want to report Master Bai, you must have evidence."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bu became excited. He took out a memorial from somewhere and read it aloud, "Of course I have evidence! Not to mention things that happened a long time ago, since she came to Chenjing, she has visited the inn of the new champion for three consecutive days and did not leave the inn until late at night. What is the matter that requires talking from morning to night? And she left with a smile as beautiful as a flower! If your majesty does not believe it, you can summon the new champion to question him!"

Bai Zhi started to curse after hearing this, "You call this evidence? This is ridiculous! It's not okay for me to talk to the new champion about life and ideals! Didn't you go to see him too? How come you can go, but if I go, it's like a sex deal?"

"I was there for only an hour before I left the inn. You stayed there for a whole day, until late at night! He said he was going to Lingzhou to take up a post the next day. That gives us a glimpse of what you talked about!"

"He has nothing to talk about with you, so of course he came out in an hour. He and I have similar interests, so of course we can talk for a long time!"

"You have the same interests as him! Who knows what interests you have? He is in his twenties, full of vigor and vitality. He can just wave his hand and follow any girl he sees. But if you just go to see him and see him for three consecutive days, that's against the rules!"

"Master Jiang means that no matter what I did, as long as I am a woman, I seduced him!"

"That's right!"

"Nonsense! Ridiculous! You just can't win the person away, so you slander me!" Bai Zhi was so angry that her face turned red.

"Humph! In Wu County, you were trying to get close to the county magistrate, and the next day he turned against you and said he would recruit civilians for you. Wasn't that also because you used some trickery? And you're still trying to argue!"

Bai Zhi was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Brother! I just helped him up. He wanted to get off the boat, but the boat was unstable. How could it be considered a tug-of-war? You said young people can't resist temptation, but the county magistrate of Wu County is already sixty years old, how could he be seduced by me? You didn't even see it, but you believed the rumors. How can you be an official if you are so easily convinced by slander!"

Jiang Bu was also anxious. "Then what are you going to do in Wu County? Building the canal is your Lingzhou's business. Why do you come to Wu County to recruit civilians? No one has built the city wall of Wu County yet!"

"Wu County is close! The laborers can go home every three to five days, isn't that just right? It's not like I don't pay them. The laborers take the money, don't they also pay taxes to Wu County?"

"That won't work! How can the people of Wu County work for you, Lingzhou?"

……

The court meeting turned into a war of words between them. Each of them was more emotional than the other and no one could get a word in.

Meng Ying had a headache, so he winked at Meng Xi, who immediately understood and stopped the quarrel with a loud shout.

Meng Ying said loudly, "Alright, Lord Jiang, we shouldn't jump to conclusions without solid evidence."

Jiang Bu was well-known for his unreasonable behavior. He was not afraid of anyone, let alone death, so he just insisted, "Then may I ask Your Highness Prince Ning, what would be considered as solid evidence? Catching someone in bed with someone else?"

Meng Ying sighed, "Yes, at least we have to catch them in bed together."

"Well, then! I will punish this woman the day I catch her in bed with me! But please tell me, Your Majesty, whether she has violated the rules by recruiting my people from my territory."

"It's not an overstep. Wu County is located at the border. If the canal is repaired, the people of Wu County will benefit the most." Meng Ying answered him bluntly.

"Then my fortifications in other places..."

"Your Majesty!" Wu Yong suddenly interrupted Jiang Bu, "I have a plan that can solve Wu County's difficulties!"

Meng Xi raised his hand, "Prime Minister, please speak."

"I think that the demarcation of land should not be based on natural barriers! Since ancient times, countless wars have been caused by warlords relying on natural barriers! To completely solve this problem, we must redivide the land based on trade route planning. In this way, we can solve the difficulties in Wu County!"

After hearing this, Meng Ying's eyes lit up. Wu Yong's words were very critical of the current situation. The division of North and South Chen was closely related to the division of the territory.

There was an uproar below. It would be a huge commotion if all the boundaries of Chen Kingdom were to be redrawn.

Meng Ying also had this idea, but the situation was unstable before, so he didn't dare to act. Now is a relatively stable time, a time of transition from the old to the new, it is an excellent time point.

Meng Ying turned to Meng Xi and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Meng Xi understood most of what he heard. Meng Ying taught him a lot, and he absorbed it all. He had discussed issues like this with Meng Ying many times, so he knew the pros and cons. "What the Prime Minister said is indeed the fundamental point, but this matter involves a lot of people. I'll have to trouble the Prime Minister to draft a document and then we can discuss it!"

"I obey your command!" Wu Yong said.

Meng Ying smiled and nodded at the little emperor. The emperor had made his decision, and he was very happy.

So the focus of the court meeting was lightly shifted.

Jiang Bu still felt that Bai Zhi was having an affair with Wu Yong, which was why Wu Yong spoke up for her, but he also understood that the problem Wu Yong mentioned did exist, so he could only swallow his anger.

After the court meeting was over, Bai Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she was afraid of Jiang Bu, she was just simply angry.

Bai Zhi left the palace and Meng Ying's attendant came up to her and said that Meng Ying was waiting for her at the intersection ahead. She followed him, turning left and right before she saw Meng Ying's carriage in an alley.

She got on the carriage and immediately started to complain, "Meeting is like having an affair! I am so ashamed!"

Meng Ying leaned lazily on the soft pillow and said with a smile, "What can we do? Lord Jiang is waiting to catch you in bed!"

"You are still on his side!" Bai Zhi stomped her feet.

"How can that be possible? If you really side with him, you will be punished!"

As the carriage started moving, Bai Zhi kept complaining to Meng Ying, "How am I guilty? Do you believe everything he said?"

"If I believe this, I'll be so angry that I'll die." Meng Ying said, taking out a pile of memorials, "It's not just Lord Jiang who has reported you. Look, your crimes are too numerous to list."

Bai Zhi opened a book and laughed out loud. The content was basically the same as what Jiang Bu said. Anyway, it was about suspecting that she had an affair with those officials.

She was simply puzzled. "I'm curious, what does it look like to submit a petition to someone else?"

"Well... the charges against others are varied. Some are for accepting bribes, some are for extravagance, and some are for Lord Lin's nepotism. But as for you, it seems like you were cast in the same mold."

Meng Ying also found it very funny. He was a little uncomfortable at first, but after seeing it many times, he could laugh out loud.

Bai Zhi propped up her chin, "Why? Did I offend them?"

Meng Ying prepared snacks for Bai Zhi. He slowly opened an exquisite food box and very naturally stuffed a piece of food into Bai Zhi's mouth, and Bai Zhi naturally held it in her mouth.

He patiently explained to Bai Zhi, "In the minds of most men, women have only two uses."

"What?" Bai Zhi said vaguely while eating snacks.

"To relieve lust and give birth to children, nothing else."

"Haha, they just think I'm unworthy of standing in the same hall with them and doing the same thing as them! Shallow!"

"That's right." Meng Ying looked at her with a smile and reached out to wipe the snack crumbs from her lips.

"Aren't you a man too?" Bai Zhi exposed ruthlessly.

"I am different from them. To Salan, you have other uses."

Bai Zhi became interested, "What?"

Meng Ying just looked at her and smiled faintly, deliberately keeping her in suspense and saying nothing.

Bai Zhi was so anxious that she came closer and said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

He smiled slyly, "Your memorial can make Salan so angry that she sits up from the bed in the middle of the night. She can't sleep and can only deal with government affairs. Well, you are useful as a wake-up call."

Bai Zhi: "..."

The two were joking with each other when the carriage suddenly stopped and the driver reported, "It's Lord Jiang! He said he had something urgent to do."

Bai Zhi panicked for a moment and whispered, "He, he, he, that old man Jiang, what is he going to do?"

Meng Ying was also stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe he wanted to catch us in bed..."

"What should we do then..." Bai Zhi was anxious.

Meng Ying pulled out a blanket and methodically stuffed Bai Zhi under the seat of his carriage, between the carriage wall and his legs, and covered his legs with the blanket.

Only after Bai Zhi hid did he lift the curtain of the carriage, "Master Jiang, why are you so anxious?"

Jiang Bu bowed and said, "Your Highness Prince Ning, just now in the hall, Jiang Bu forgot to tell Your Highness something."

"Master Jiang, please speak."

"Is there anyone else in the car, Prince Ning?"

"No."

"This is a matter of great importance. Jiang Bu dare not neglect it."

Meng Ying almost laughed out loud, "Then Lord Jiang, come and take a look."

The driver opened the curtain for Jiang Bu, and Jiang Bu looked left and right, as if he wanted to see something.

He even stared at Meng Ying's blanket for a long time, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Meng Ying sensed his intention, "Lord Jiang, do you suspect that I'm hiding someone?"

Jiang Bu really suspected this, but he was too weak to lift the blanket, so he had to give up and said, "I dare not."

"You can talk now, Lord Jiang." Meng Ying reminded him calmly.

"Jiang Bu just wants to say that Your Highness should not always listen to others' advice and be careful not to be deceived by evil words."

"Lord Jiang's advice is valuable and valuable. I will keep it in mind." Meng Ying responded with a faint smile.

Jiang Bu had finished speaking and could only leave.

Bai Zhi then came out from under the blanket and imitated Jiang Bu in a strange way, "Your Highness, don't just listen to the pillow talk..."

Meng Ying took advantage of the situation and Bai Zhi sat on his legs and hooked her arms around his neck, "I'm going to keep whispering in your ear! Do you want to listen or not?"

"see your performance."

"What do you mean? What's the performance?"

Meng Ying leaned forward and took out a wooden box. He gently bent it and the box opened automatically.

Bai Zhi looked over and saw that it was a black gauze dress. Although it was not unfolded, she could see the delicate edging pattern.

Bai Zhi blushed for a moment, "You really like it..."

"Yes, there is more below..."

Bai Zhi reached out and lifted up the sexy underwear with very little fabric, and the things underneath really opened her eyes.

All sorts of... gadgets.

Bai Zhi was really embarrassed to look at this. She couldn't let such a thing be buried with her. It would be so embarrassing if it was discovered by archaeologists in the future.

She tried to ignore these little things, but she could feel his hot body temperature. He buried himself in her softness and then kissed the corner of her lips.

Unlike couples who spend every day together, this kind of time is short and precious, and there is also a kind of sneaky excitement. Meng Ying is unwilling to wait for a moment.

Bai Zhi dodged repeatedly, "Don't do it here..."

"There is still some distance to go..."

"That's not OK……"

Bai Zhi kept leaning back, but he held the back of her head.

"Jing'er can be so clingy..." He breathed heavily in her ear.

Jing'er never gives them time to be gentle with each other, as she is at an age where she plays around tirelessly.

Bai Zhi didn't have time to refuse before her body shivered at the coldness of his little gadget.

I could only gasp involuntarily, "Yeah... uh... that's right..."
