After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

After the Waking of Insects, it rains especially heavily. Fortunately, Chang'an is not like the Jianghuai area. Once the Waking of Insects is over. In addition to the endless rain, there are only a few sunny days occasionally. The rain in Chang'an stopped after the night.

Although Suzaku Street was wet and muddy, it was not difficult to walk on. Pei Jiaoran and Li Xiujing decided on the right time to leave the mansion and galloped towards the square gate.

When passing through the gate, I saw the soldier from last night reporting something to Marquis Wu with an anxious look on his face. Pei Jiaoran smiled as his eyes passed over Fang Zu's body.

When they heard the noise, Marquis Wu and the soldiers turned around and saw two senior officials in purple robes, and they quickly bowed their hands.

"When I came back last night, the servant told me that someone broke into the gate. Could that person be you?" Li Xiujing rode closer to her and lowered her voice.

Pulling the reins, Pei Jiaoran tilted his head and let out a laugh, "It was clearly not the closing time, but he closed the gate in advance. Also, when you came back, the gate was already closed, so it would be against the law for him to let you in. If you really think about it, He is the one who will be impeached by the censor. And you are also involved. Abuse of power."

When Pei Jiaoran looked at me like this, I am a person who abides by the rules. It was you who abused your power. Be careful, I will report you to the Yushitai. Li Xiujing had a smile on his face.

According to the rules, he was indeed not qualified to ask the waiter to open the door for him. But Pei Jiaoran, let alone Chuangfang, even late at night. Whenever there is an edict in the palace, as the prime minister, she can ask the servants to open the door for her.

Just as I was thinking, there was a shout from behind.

"Oops, I was caught by Yushitai eating in the restaurant just now." An official in green ran past them.

Pei Jiaoran curled his lips as he watched the green-clothed official running further and further away.

Li Xiujing whispered: "These censors can scare them. Anyway, they can't scare you."

"They are worried about being an official, but I am worried about being a ghost." Pei Jiaoran smiled, revealing his white fangs, and the light in his eyes flowed, "Let's leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

The two separated at Zhuque Gate and went to their respective government offices.

It's not yet time, but Zhongshu's office in other provinces is already very busy. When the subordinate officials who came out of the room saw her, they hurriedly bowed.

"No need to be polite, just go and get busy." Pei Jiaoran smiled and turned around to go to the public room on the second floor.

As soon as she sat down, a scribe presented her with an ultimatum. There is no regular court today, so most official business needs to be handled at the government office.

The Zhongshu drafts it, the subordinates approve it and reject it, and the Shangshu executes it. Each of the three provinces performs its own duties. Although the actual head of Zhongshu Province is Su Jinghui, most affairs are left to other provinces.

By the time Pei Jiaoran finished handling the matters at hand, it was almost noon. Counting the time, she got up and went to the political hall.

Compared to other government offices, the food at Zhengshitang is considered top-notch. Before I even got close, the aroma of food from the public kitchen wafted out of the window.

"Prime Minister Pei?" the servant at the door asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran stopped and said, "We have something important to discuss."

After saying that, she went straight to the kitchen.

"Why is Prime Minister Pei here?" Cen Xi in the public kitchen frowned and looked at Pei Jiaoran at the door.

Lian Yi approached and Pei Jiaoran sat down in the vacant seat. With a smile on his face, he said, "I'm tired of eating food from other provinces. I heard that the political hall has a new chef, so I thought of giving it a try."

She spoke calmly. Jia Gonglu on the side glanced at her and looked away. The public kitchen of the political hall itself is the place where those with the title of prime minister eat after the parliament.

The so-called meeting is when a group of purple-robed prime ministers gather together in the political hall to eat and discuss official matters. After a meal, you can achieve some degree of political unity.

However, he remembered that Pei Jiaoran once disliked the poor cooking skills of the public cooks in the political hall, so he basically rushed back to his government office to have meals.

Now that I have suddenly changed my gender, there is something fishy about me no matter how I look at it.

"I heard that His Majesty intends to review Shence at Chunyou Colonel." Pei Jiaoran chuckled, "But this year, Chunyou seems to have military envoys from all over the country coming together. I think that we should not just let Shence's army be reviewed by the emperor. The Jinwu Guards also made great achievements when they recaptured Chang'an at the age of 18. Why not both armies be inspected by the emperor together."

"The Jinwu Guards were involved in Chang'an's city defense at night. Although there is nothing wrong with participating in the review, the spring hunting is of great importance. It is better for the well-trained Shence Army to accept the review." Zuopushe Yang Shidao said.

"Since the Jinwu Guards are responsible for guarding the city at night, their responsibilities are even more important. If the military governors cannot see their power, they may not be able to convince the public just by having the power of an army." Pei Jiaoran's eyes moved to Cen Xi. , "What do Mr. Cen think of this suggestion?"

Cen Xi raised his eyes to look at her and said slowly: "If your Majesty wants to show the power of the imperial court, there is nothing wrong with both armies being reviewed together. But your Majesty doesn't seem to have this intention."

"I have never written a letter. Did I know that His Majesty did not have this intention? Why don't you write a letter and please listen to the Holy Will." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

Just as Cen Xi was about to speak, an official knocked on the door.

The officials bowed before entering and then said to Pei Jiaoran: "Your Majesty has issued a decree to summon Mr. Pei to Haichi for an audience."

When he stopped talking, he whispered to Pei Jiaoran: "Mr. Pei, the internal officials are waiting outside. Please come."

Everyone was speechless after hearing this. How could His Majesty suddenly summon Pei Jiaoran alone at this time?

Pei Jiaoran stood up and looked at a few people, then bowed. He followed the officials out of the political hall and lowered his head to put on his shoes.

After leaving Zhongshu Province, we walked along Suzhangmen towards the forbidden area. Only after being searched by the female officer did he enter the forbidden area.

Haichi draws water from the Yongji Canal into the park and is composed of three pools in the west, south and north. The gray sky and the green sea pool contrast with each other and create their own interesting scenes. But like the willows beside the pool, they looked quite deserted.

Pei Jiaoran followed the imperial officer in a polite manner, and the wind blowing from the sea ruffled the hem of her clothes.

A small boat floats on the water on the shore. Looking up, I saw a painting boat already floating in the center of the sea pool.

Following the internal officer, he got on the boat and the boat pushed away against the waves. Stopped next to the painting boat. Under the guidance of the internal officer, she boarded the ship. When the internal officer at the door saw her coming up, she immediately went in to report her.

After the official's briefing was over, Pei Jiaoran bowed and entered.

At this time, the spring cold has not dissipated, and the wind is still a little cold on my body. Emperor Wei was sitting on the couch with Qiu in his arms, playing chess with the King of Wu. The prince stood aside and watched the chess game with his head down.

The wind ruffles the willow branches in the vase. The prince glanced at her, then quickly looked away.

Pei Jiaoran saluted respectfully, but found that the father and son were completely immersed in playing chess, and no one paid attention to her at all.

The next moment, the curtain was lifted again, and when I turned around, I saw a woman in a gorgeous dress walking in.

She looked at her in surprise, as if she was remembering something. With a smile on her face, she said, "Is this the famous female husband? It's true that seeing her is better than hearing it a hundred times."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jiaoran frowned slightly. Most people at that time no longer used the word "female" in their titles. The disciples of Wuchang Li are enough to attract people's attention, but what about other achievements that are more dazzling. According to the history books, the name Xianggong is listed with the men. In ancient and modern times, only Pei Jiaoran, a piece of jade from Kunshan, has the ear.

That person was none other than Concubine Zhang, the mother of King Wu.
