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

The spring hunt is approaching, and this year's spring hunt is only invited by all the festival envoys. Surrounding vassal states such as the Uighurs, Tubos, and Nanzhao were also invited. As a result, all departments and offices in the imperial city were busy.

The misty drizzle is pouring over Chang'an, and the soft rain silk is rubbing in the Tai Chi Palace. The smell of rotten wood hidden in this ancient palace will be released bit by bit. The disgusting smell of corruption permeated the screen windows and silk screens of various departments and offices, making people feel increasingly tired, and even the remaining strength was wasted away in the drizzle.

Pei Jiaoran frowned as he listened to Feng Duo's voice outside the window. He ordered his servant to take off the Fengduo and put it aside. He also ordered his servants to add a piece of incense to the Boshan stove to dispel the stale smell that lingered in his nose.

The scolding voice of the female officer came from Chengtianmen Street. Pei Jiaoran put down his pen, walked to the window and looked down.

I saw a group of young girls, led by the female official in scarlet clothes, walking along Chengtianmen Street. They passed by the entrance of Zhongshu Waishing and turned to the first side street.

Despite the busy business in the provinces, people still looked out of the window to see these young ladies. But because of the presence of female officials, no one dared to step forward to make trouble.

Pei Jiaoran curled his lips as he watched the girls go to the chamber of maids.

Today Sun Shaofeng will also enter the palace to participate in the final selection. Just now she saw her in the crowd. Among the girls, although she is not outstanding in appearance, she prefers her courage and exquisite mind.

Yesterday, she took advantage of the young minister of Guanglu Temple to visit Cai Shanggong of the Shanggong Bureau. Made it clear to her what he meant. With the dual use of wealth and power, Cai Shanggong readily agreed to her small request.

Pei Jiaoran looked away from the window and rubbed his forehead. It seemed that there were only a few days left in Spring Hunting, but Emperor Wei still didn't respond. When she raised this matter in the political hall that day, she originally said that she wanted to discuss the matter with everyone.

Emperor Wei suddenly summoned her, and she mentioned the matter casually. I originally thought that Emperor Wei would be able to summon him soon, but I never thought it would take so long.

With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran sighed slightly.

"Mr. Pei, the Ministry of Public Affairs has sent a secret letter from His Majesty. Please read it." The servant said outside.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran opened his mouth to let the servant in. He took the rosewood carved wooden box and opened it.

Unwrap the paper. I saw written on it what I had said to Pei Qing.

Without sighing, Pei Jiaoran returned to the desk. He picked up his pen and began to draft an edict according to the holy will.

"Send the edict I drafted to the public room downstairs and ask Lord Zhou to send it to the hospital." Pei Jiaoran put down his pen and said.

"Here."

After the servants left, Pei Jiaoran put down her pen and sighed. Fortunately, Emperor Wei agreed to her request. There are still more than ten days before the spring hunting, and with Xu Yan's ability to train Jinwu Guard well, there shouldn't be much problem.

The imperial edict was issued the next day, and the Jinwu Guards also had to participate in the emperor's review of the spring hunt. Xu Mian was in charge of everything. Xu Mian happily accepted the decree and thanked Heaven for his kindness. Express to Emperor Wei that he will not be disappointed.

Since then, the Jinwu Guards have patrolled various departments and offices. The outstanding ones also need to train on the school field.

Regarding this matter, Zhang Rang and Jia Gonglu were quite silent. It seemed that they had acquiesced in letting the Nanya Imperial Army take the lead.

The selection of female officers has also been decided. The girls from good families were screened out one after another, and only fifty were left. They will be allocated one by one according to the needs of each bureau and department. Sun Shaofeng was successfully assigned to the Accounting Department because of his outstanding literary talent and the help of Pei Jiaoran.

Although it is only the lowest level female history, from the current point of view, it is enough for Sun Shaofeng.

In the public room, after hearing the report from the chamberlain, Pei Jiaoran stuffed two embroidery bags into his hands.

"Thank you. The embroidery bag on the right will be handed over to my granddaughter Shi for me. You can keep the remaining embroidery bag yourself." Pei Jiaoran said warmly.

The chamberlain bowed his hands and saluted, "Thank you very much, Mr. Pei. I will definitely hand it over to my granddaughter Shi."

After sending the servants away, Pei Jiaoran continued to bury his head in the document. She didn't get up and leave until the closing drums sounded.

As expected, he saw Li Xiujing outside the Zhuque Gate.

The two hadn't seen each other for several days, each was busy in his or her own government office.

Compared with a few days ago, Li Xiujing was much darker. His complexion was like wheat, and although the hand holding the reins was not fair, it was clean and slender.

"It's almost closing, let's go."

After saying that, the two of them jumped on their horses and rushed to Wubenfang.

The soldier was still guarding the door. When he saw two purple figures running towards him, he quickly opened the door. Purple clothes flowed past him like flowing clouds, leaving no trace in an instant.

He gave up the reins to Li Xiujing. Pei Jiaoran opened the door and pushed it in one movement. After entering the house, he lay down on the bamboo couch by the window and kicked off his Liuhe boots.

"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it on the street." Li Xiujing asked while scooping water from the well and washing her hands.

"Just watch. I've been busy all day in the province, so let me take a nap. I'll call you later." Pei Jiaoran turned around and said in a lazy tone, "I want to drink the agarwood drink from the east."

Spring is sleepy and autumn is tired, coupled with the continuous rain, it is more likely to make people sleepy. When I woke up it was already dinner time.

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and saw Li Xiujing sitting not far away, reading a book. And she was covered with a velvet blanket.

"When did you come back?" Pei Jiaoran sat up and asked after yawning.

"Half an hour ago. Get up quickly, the food will be cold if you don't get up." Li Xiujing smiled back at her.

Seeing her getting up, Li Xiujing placed the dishes and chopsticks naturally. Hot soup and rice, under the dim candlelight, made the room feel a little more cozy.

The cups and saucers clinked, the chopsticks and spoons rose and fell, and the dinner went smoothly and comfortably. The two of them put down the bowls and chopsticks together and put them away together.

In order not to accumulate food after the meal, Pei Jiaoran simply took a walk in the yard.

"I've made the soft armor for you, do you want to try it?" Li Xiujing's voice came from behind.

"The action is quite fast." Pei Jiaoran said and turned around and entered the house.

I saw a pair of soft armor neatly stacked on the table, and the candlelight reflected on it gave it a layer of light.

After taking off his outer clothes behind the screen, Pei Jiaoran stretched out his arms and hooked the soft armor onto his hands and put it on his outer clothes.

"It fits well." Pei Jiaoran walked out from behind the screen. While stretching his muscles, he said: "You can wear it out during spring hunting."

Looking at Pei Jiaoran not far away, Li Xiujing stared. The silver soft armor fit her body quite well, but he had a strange feeling. In a daze, he felt that her heart was also wrapped in this soft armor.

Lowering his eyes to cover the trace of worry in his eyes, Li Xiujing stepped forward

Hugging Pei Jiaoran, "I really hope you never need it in your life."

The body touched the cold and hard soft armor. He could clearly feel her heartbeat. It was beating steadily and powerfully in her body.

Pei Jiaoran curled his lips, "Maybe it won't be used, but once it is used, it can save your life. This is very important to me."

After the words fell, Li Xiujing chuckled in his ears. He peeled off the soft armor from her body, picked her up and placed her on the couch.

With his hands on her shoulders, Li Xiujing leaned over and looked at her.

"Then I still hope that no one in this world can ever threaten you. In this way, your heart will not be separated by soft armor." After the words fell, Li Xiujing kissed her.

Lowering his head to receive Li Xiujing's kiss, Pei Jiaoran slipped his hand into the sleeve of his robe. Caressing the dry and warm skin, it created a strange feeling against her slightly cool skin. Feeling the strong and well-defined muscles and the pulsing of blood, she smiled slightly, her lips and tongue entangled with his, and her hands slowly caressed his increasingly hot skin.

Staring at Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing smiled contentedly.
