At this time, it was raining heavily outside the window, and the complaining voices of the servants came to my ears from the window. The thunderbolt tore open the dark sky and reflected it on the faces of several people.

Lu Yuan said: "Since the emperor is marrying a daughter, it takes several months to prepare. Tubo is far away from Chang'an, and the time of going back and forth will be delayed. I wonder if your envoy knows the year, month and day when your Khan was born? By Qin Tianjian If the horoscopes match and do not conflict with each other, the emperor will marry a daughter and the two countries will avoid disputes. "

The etiquette in the Central Plains is complicated, and few foreigners can understand the key points. Even though Tubo sent envoys to learn the etiquette of the Central Plains, they only had a superficial understanding of it. Not much is known about the twists and turns inside. The marriage customs in the Central Plains are very particular about the compatibility of the horoscopes. If the horoscopes of the two parties are not compatible, the marriage will probably not be successful.

Of course, Rangan is determined to marry the princess of the Celestial Dynasty, but he may not be convinced if the simple horoscope does not match her. You may even think that the imperial court is playing tricks on you. So what they have to do now is to make Rangan have no choice but to believe it.

"What does Bazi mean? Why do I hear what you mean? If it doesn't suit you, you won't marry the princess?" Rangan frowned and stared at Pei Jiaoran coldly.

"If the horoscopes are not in harmony, it is easy for disasters to happen to the family. Start with the people around you first." Pei Jiaoran put the crushed tea leaves into the honey-colored lotus petal tea bag and sifted carefully, "In the words of your Tubo people , this girl is unlucky. There is a Tantric Buddhist temple in the Western Market. Your Majesty, please go and walk around more and listen to the monks in the temple."

"This princess is not compatible with our Khan. Can't there be someone else? I think you are good, Mr. Pei. You are strong and you look good at giving birth. The other princesses are too delicate." Rangan looked Pei Jiaoran up and down. .

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan and Honglu Temple Minister looked at each other. Lu Yuan glanced at Pei Jiaoran from the corner of his eye and saw that her expression was as usual. He breathed a sigh of relief. Did they hear it right? Rangan actually said that he wanted Pei Jiaoran to get married? This Lord was in front of the emperor that day and had clearly refused. How could he dare to set his sights on her?

The two of them were thinking.

Pei Jiaoran chuckled softly, "If a certain horoscope is not good, the lone star will be in the fate, and the most will be the husband. Your envoy doesn't want me to kill your Khan just after I pass by, right? Although your custom is that the last brother will be the last brother, and the father will be the last brother." Even if you die, you won’t be willing to accept an ominous person, right?”

Choking back at her words, Ranqian looked away with an angry expression.

"Didn't you say that we should be simple? Is the combination of eight characters considered to be simple?" Rangan scolded.

Pei Jiaoran took a sip of tea and said, "Why doesn't it count as simplicity? It's just Naji, and the other six rites have been waived. Naji wants to ask about the affairs of the ancestors of the ancestral temple, and must not be ignored. Let's go on duty tomorrow, Your envoy, would you like to go to the Western Market with a certain person?"

Glancing at the other two people, I saw that they all looked like they were only following Pei Jiaoran. He frowned and thought for a moment. Rangan nodded.

"Just in time, the tea is ready. Your Majesty, please have some tea." Pei Jiaoran handed the tea to Ranqian. "In the Central Plains, it is most important to do as the locals do. Since you are the one asking to marry the princess, you have to follow our rules. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do it." I’ll choose a princess with good looks and talent to marry you.”

Ranqian glanced at the tea cup in front of him doubtfully, and imitated the others and drank tea. Then he took a sip and said, "Why is this tea so bitter!"

"This is the southern way of brewing tea. The bitterness and sweetness make it elegant and light, so you can get the taste." Pei Jiaoran smiled, "I am a southerner. I am used to the southern brewing method. People who are not used to it just feel that drinking tea is like water. "

After a few rounds of tea, the rain outside the house stopped. Pei Jiaoran glanced at the sky and said, "There is still something going on in the government office. Someone will send the envoy back to the Sifang Pavilion. Lu Shangshu, Zhou Qing would like to help you arrange more people to entertain Rangan."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Pei."

After sending the three people off, Pei Jiaoran let out a long sigh. Staring at the coffee table on the desk, he reached out and pinched his eyebrows.

It's really not a good job. Now I feel that it was a good plan for Emperor Wei to give her this job, and then asked her to handle it together with the prince, and finally made her the prince's young master. He was also changing his ways to pave the way for the prince.

After sitting in the public kitchen for a while, Pei Jiaoran returned to his office. He also ordered his servants to deliver the food later in the evening. He immersed himself in processing the ultimatum.

As dusk arrived, heavy raindrops suddenly fell. From sparse to dense, from slow to rapid, the ground that had been dry for a short time was suddenly soaked. The rainwater gathered on the roof fell like silver threads, and the wind chimes under the eaves swayed gently.

Pei Jiaoran walked around in front of the window for a while and then closed the window. Went down the stairs wearing a raincoat. The servant on night duty in the ear room heard the noise, opened the window and looked around, and saw that it was Pei Jiaoran who had closed the window again. She slowly walked up the verandah. The public room on the north side of the verandah was brightly lit. The officials who were on duty were still busy writing in front of the case. He didn't know anything about the departure of his superior who was on duty.

It was raining, and Jin Wuwei, who was in charge of night patrol, also hid in the duty room and did not go out. Listening to the noise inside, Pei Jiaoran walked a little further into the shadows. Use the lantern on the corridor to go to the Censor's Platform.

Fortunately, it rained heavily and Pei Jiaoran arrived at Yushitai smoothly.

The door was ajar, and the servant on night duty in the ear room heard the noise and quickly came out to check the situation. I saw a man wearing a raincoat standing under the verandah, and I was about to scold him. But he saw the other party shaking the goldfish bag on his waist.

"you are……"

"Pei." Pei Jiaoran said calmly and walked straight to the duty room at the Yushitai. Push the door and close it in one go.

"Who are you?" Yuan Yanchong, who was reading, raised his head when he heard the noise and said in shock: "Why are you here?"

After taking off his raincoat and hanging it at the door, Pei Jiaoran sat down cross-legged opposite Yuan Yanchong, with a calm expression on his face, "I was on duty, so I came to see you for something. Don't think about impeaching me."

Staring at her, Yuan Yanchong frowned, "What is worthy of your personal visit in the middle of the night?"

"Are the supervisory censors who have been sent to patrol various places come back soon?" Pei Jiaoran said.

"I'll be back next month. Someone has already handed over the impeachment notice." Yuan Yan rushed over and handed over a cup of tea, "Did you find something else?"

"Zhongshu is busy enough with matters in other provinces. I still have time to care about who is corrupt and violates the law? There is something going on in Nanzhao, and I am afraid they want to join forces with Tubo to attack us. If there is a fight, Zuozang will always have someone. We have enough financial resources to support it. Let the local government pay for everything. What will happen next year?" Pei Jiaoran sipped his tea and said slowly: "Yizhou is also a wealthy place. Let them give up a little. With some money, everyone will have a better life in the coming year.”

"Then it's a coincidence that you came here. The mountains in Shu are high and the roads are far away. It's not easy for the censors to go there. But the memorials brought back every time are very important. I just have a few copies." Yuan Yan stood up and came from the side. He took out a wooden box from the short cabinet and said, "There are dozens of them, a total of more than a dozen. They were all impeached by one person. I'm really afraid that he will be lost in Shu."

The wooden box was locked and sealed with a seal. Apparently it hasn't been opened yet.

Pei Jiaoran glanced at the wooden box and then looked at Yuan Yanchong, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do I feel that you have changed your gender? You actually started to consider others instead of just following their arrangements."

Reaching out to grab the tea cup in front of Pei Jiaoran, Yuan Yanchong snorted, "I cherish talent. It is rare to have such a passionate talent in the court. I don't want to see him become a chess piece. After all, chess pieces cannot control their destiny."

"But it's useless to have blood in the court. I know what you mean, let him impeach him. I will do my best to protect him." Pei Jiaoran watched Yuan Yanchong fill the cup of tea and hand it back to her, Shaking his head, "The tea at Yushitai is still as bad as ever."

After that, Pei Jiaoran got up, put on his raincoat and left.

"Mancao..." Yuan Yanchong whispered.

Pei Jiaoran smiled when he heard this, "I am at ease now, Yuan Yushi should not disturb others' peace."

"I just want to...treat her...treat her to a meal."

"She works as a trainee in Pingkangfang. You can go directly to find her." After saying this, Pei Jiaoran opened the door and walked out.
