When the soldiers in front of the prefecture saw Pei Jiaoran coming, they didn't stop him. After saying hello, he let her pass. Walk along the veranda and the familiar road towards the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard was silent except for the sound of bells on the eaves.

A wine jar rolled down the stone steps of the corridor and stopped at her feet. Pei Jiaoran looked up, and the corner of a light crimson robe caught her eyes. Li Xiujing is the only one in Guazhou who can wear a light crimson robe and a silver fish bag.

Lifting his feet across the wine jar on the ground, Pei Jiaoran walked slowly towards the verandah.

I saw Li Xiujing lying on her side under the verandah, with several empty wine jars lying beside her. She cleared her throat and said softly: "The lower official Pei Jiaoran has met the governor."

However, the other party showed no response and seemed to be still in deep sleep.

Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and walked up to Li Xiujing. He leaned over and looked into his closed eyes. Even though the night had passed, there was still the smell of alcohol on his breath.

Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath and was about to slap the other person awake. But before her hand could fall, the other party suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her wrist. Applying force on his hands, he turned her over and pushed her to the ground.

Her back hit the ground firmly, but the other party reached out to hold her head firmly when she fell. But the pain coming from her back still made her frown.

"Li Xiujing!" Pei Jiaoran said angrily.

This man clearly pretended to be asleep on purpose to trick her into coming over.

Li Xiujing didn't open her eyes when she stopped talking. Instead, she kept tightening her arms and leaning her head forward. Finally, it stopped an inch away from Pei Jiaoran.

Pei Jiaoran gritted his teeth and wanted to fight back. But not only were her arms tightly held by the opponent, but her legs were also tightly entangled and suppressed by the opponent. The only thing that could move was her head. The smell of alcohol and the smell of acacia on the other party's body probably made her dizzy, and even her cheeks became hot.

The courtyard was still as quiet as when she came, and she couldn't even hear the patrolling footsteps of the guards. All that could be heard was the sound of each other's heartbeats.

Pei Jiaoran frowned irritably, anger brewing in his eyes. While she was dazed, he pressed his forehead against hers. The tips of their noses were touching, and their lips were almost touching. The other person's hand gently held up her head, leaned down and kissed her.

The crimson lips are sweet and soft, with a hint of sweet osmanthus fragrance.

However, the kiss couldn't last long, as a trace of bloody smell spread along the lips and teeth into the throat.

Li Xiujing opened his eyes. Facing a pair of deep beady eyes, there is a sharpness that can penetrate everything. He looked away in panic and hurriedly got up from the ground.

Remembering that Pei Jiaoran was still sitting on the ground, Li Xiujing reached out to her.

Glancing at the palm stretched out in front of his eyes, Pei Jiaoran sighed lightly. Brushing it away, he got up from the ground.

Leaning against the pillar, Li Xiujing closed her eyes.

"Lying disheveled under the verandah, the lower officials can be ordered to impeach the governor. In addition, if the superior official is hungover, the inferior official can also write a letter of impeachment." Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Xiujing and said seriously.

Li Xiujing opened his eyes and looked at Pei Jiaoran, with a touch of red on his lips that was quite eye-catching. And the smell of blood seemed to still linger between his lips and teeth.

She has such a fairy-like appearance, but she looks like those old-fashioned censors in Chang'an.

Just as heartless and tasteless, maybe even more so.

Li Xiujing smiled and asked, "Why is Mingfu here?"

As soon as he spoke, Pei Jiaoran took a few steps back with disgust in his eyes. She stood at the foot of the stone steps and looked at him, "There should be some sobering soup prepared in the kitchen. Don't you think about taking a bath first, right?" After saying that, she looked at the servant who had just ran to the side, "Why don't you go and serve it to the provincial governor? Decant the soup and prepare hot water."

"Cold water is enough." Li Xiujing glanced at her and closed the door.

Seeing Li Xiujing's appearance, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips. He immediately walked to the small pavilion on one side, gathered his clothes and sat down.

In the room, Li Xiujing stood in front of the bronze mirror, looked at the small wound on her lip, and reached out to touch it. Hiss, it hurts a little. Good guy, she is really a sharp-tongued person, and she really doesn’t show mercy when she bites.

But what can he do? Pretending to be drunk and sleeping was such a despicable and boring method. It was penetrated by the other party after being used once. How could it be used on her a second time? What's more, he wanted to confess his feelings to her properly instead of using clumsy means.

After Pei Jiaoran sat in the pavilion for a while, a servant came over to deliver a message. It was said that Li Xiujing invited her in.

At this time, Li Xiujing was fully dressed. Sitting next to the desk, he slowly drank the sobering soup that had just been brought to him.

Pei Jiaoran walked in slowly and sat down opposite Li Xiujing. Xu Xiao glanced at him and smiled: "Even if the governor wants to win me over, there is no need to use a honey trap." She rested her chin on her hand and blinked, "When I was fined by the court, secretly give me some money." Just a salary is fine. I promise that I will serve as the governor and follow my lead."

The bright eyes are lively and seem to contain light and shadow. The lips are beautiful without applying any elixir.

Li Xiujing licked the wound on her lips and said secretly. Who is it that has been deceiving people without knowing it?

After finishing the morning meal quickly, Li Xiujing ordered people to come in and remove the bowls and chopsticks.

The two of them walked into the study room.

"Why did you come to me?" Li Xiujing said in a deep voice.

"I have finished writing the report, and please ask the governor to read it." After that, Pei Jiaoran took out the letter from his sleeve and put it in front of his case. "If there are any shortcomings, I hope the governor will correct me."

Although it is just a personal report document, since it needs to be submitted to the officials, it cannot be careless. It should be written strictly in accordance with the regulations of official documents. The year and month of its title, honorific title, modest title and other appropriate information must not be missing. It is necessary to report in the article the household registration, cultivated land, money valley, prison and other conditions in the county where you are appointed. Every sentence in her work report focuses on the key points and there are no redundant words. This is an excellently written report.

After reading it, Li Xiujing put it aside. Gave her a fair rating.

"Thank you, Governor." Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly.

"Where is the memorial?" Li Xiujing looked at her and said with a smile, "You should have finished writing it."

Touching the pattern on his sleeve, Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and did not answer.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing guessed that she had other plans, so she could only say warmly: "Didn't I agree that I will sign the name with you?"

"But what I wrote was a memorial rather than an admonishment." Pei Jiaoran's face was as calm as usual.

Hearing this, the corners of Li Xiujing's mouth twitched, and he knew she would do this. After thinking about it, he still reached out to her to ask for it.

Looking at Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran sighed. Reluctantly, she placed the memorial she had written last night on Li Xiujing's desk.

When Li Xiujing was about to open the letter, he reached out and pressed it on the letterhead.

"It would be better for the governor not to sign his name."

The voice is like ice in the vast sea, word after word.

Looking down at the white fingers falling on the letter, Li Xiujing raised her lips and smiled softly.

"What kind of rebellious words did you write that you dare not let me sign? Is it because you are afraid of incriminating me?"

Suddenly retracting his hand, Pei Jiaoran's eyes were gentle, "Whether it is rebellious or not, the governor will know at a glance. But I hope that the governor will not sign after reading it. You can just flatter Tianting on your behalf. This is not harmful to the governor." .”

Reaching out to hold the letter, Li Xiujing sent Pei Jiaoran aside to rest. After he reads the memorial, he will decide whether to sign it or not.

Pei Jiaoran responded and returned to his original position to sit down.
