The queen is a bit cowardly

"Read." Chang Dai handed the letter to Yan Qi.

Yan Qi scanned the contents of the letter, and then read: "Your Highness respectfully, entrusted by His Highness, the interrogation of the slave Youtu has come to fruition, and Youtu has found a piece of evidence for the lonely, Your Highness should have already I saw a piece of blue hemp spun cloth, I sent someone to ask about weaving, and the weaving method at the knot is the Xiajing weaving method, Your Highness can check the recent visits to Xiajing, and the interrogation details are attached, Your Highness can read it."

Yan Qi's investigation coincided with Jiang Qingluan's investigation, Chang Dai's knot was finally untied today.

"Yan Qi."

"exist."

Chang Dai said: "Leave the investigation and customs clearance to someone else, quickly go to Chief Sima Huoxian, transfer the military movements of the next capital from him, and tell him the results of the investigation verbatim, hurry up!"

"Here!"

Chang Dai frowned. Although there are always frictions among the princes and constant battles, the respect for Xin Guo is still maintained on the surface. Every year, the offerings are paid on time among the sixteen princes except Fu Guo. The princes would also send envoys to congratulate, but it was the first time to do anything on the territory of the Xin Kingdom. No matter who the opponent's target was, this had violated the bottom line of the father country.

Chang Dai hurriedly got up, called the waiter to change the court clothes, and went straight to his father.

The slave was beaten to death by a rabbit and never thought that he would still be alive, and the woman who saved her not only changed him into clean clothes, but also let him live in the best Wangming Building in Tianping City, although it was only a member of the Wangming Building. A woodshed, but much better than a slave shed.

"Drink some wine." Jiang Qingluan handed the cup to Youtu: "Promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."

"Men are awkward." Ba Le handed over his knife and put it on the dining table: "Drink it."

A rabbit knelt down to receive the wine, cautiously afraid of spilling it, and poured it into his mouth again. At first, there was a burst of wine aroma, and then his throat felt scalding. He almost forgot what wine tasted like.

"Thanks...Miss Xie." Youtu put the cup back on the table and knelt down on the ground again.

Jiang Qingluan looked at the child, who was not as thin as a 15-year-old child, and was said to be a barbarian. Even the body of the Central Plains man could not be compared, so he put his meat bowl on the table with rabbits: "Again! Eat some meat to supplement."

"No... dare not." A rabbit said, "I'm just a slave, how dare I sit with the lady."

"It's okay." Jiang Qingluan pressed his shoulders and pulled him to the table: "I'm a slave, too."

"If I tell you to eat it, you will eat it. He is obviously a barbarian, so why is he as unhappy as the people from the Central Plains?" Baller said.

At this time, the rabbit was more courageous, but he didn't dare to sit down at the table. He ran to the side with the meat and started to eat quietly.

Jiang Qingluan no longer cared about it, and started to eat by herself. Since she left the Kong family, she has lived in Wangminglou for more than ten days, eating and drinking delicious food every day. The princess even gave her a female slave. She is often ordered around, but the female slave is also a very winky person, and Jiang Qingluan handles everything very well.

"Your Highness, you can get used to living in Wangming Building."

Qingluan turned her head and saw that Chang Lan was already standing at the door. Today she was dressed in plain clothes and had a very simple bun on her head. She was no different from the girl next door, but she was even more refined. Jiang Qingluan was used to seeing her as a lotus flower. But it was the lotus out of the water, so I couldn't help but look at it a few more times, forgetting the complicated rituals.

Ba Le patted his left chest as a salute, Youtu naturally knew that he was a nobleman, so he obediently ran to the corner and knelt down.

Only then did Jiang Qingluan come back to her senses, and said: "Why did the princess come, and no one told me about it. Ba Le and I had dinner, and we didn't prepare anything."

Chang Lan was also polite, and walked directly to Jiang Qingluan's side, while A Li put a mat on the ground, and Chang Lan seemed to sit beside Jiang Qingluan as a matter of course.It was not the first time the two sat together, but Jiang Qingluan felt a little embarrassed today.

"Princess, do you want to eat?" Jiang Qingluan asked, but the table in front of her didn't even have any meat on it, and the chopsticks were only her own. Although she believed that Chang Lan's slave girl could fill the table with vegetables, The bowls and chopsticks are not a problem, but at this moment, the table is really too simple.

"Eat early today and eat late, so you can eat whatever you want." Chang Lan picked up Jiang Qingluan's chopsticks, tried a bite of the dish, and said, "The Wangminglou food is really good."

Jiang Qingluan secretly admired it. If any prince did this action, he would probably be called a corporal of courtesy. It seems that Chang Lan is indeed a role in Xin Guo.

"It's better for the princess to choose the place to live." Jiang Qingluan raised the corners of her mouth, still smiling.

"My palace has chosen another residence for you." Chang Lan changed her address: "Come here in person today to ask His Highness to move."

Jiang Qingluan didn't know that Chang Lan wanted to let her live in her princess mansion. In fact, she had decided to stay with Chang Lan from the moment she moved out of the Confucian mansion. It's just that Chang Lan's real purpose is not clear, at least for now, At least Chang Lan wasn't malicious herself.

"Then it's up to the princess."

Jiang Qingluan didn't have many things, and only her more valuable things were taken away from the Confucian mansion, a royal dress, some ritual utensils, even a cart was not full, and it was just late noon when they set off from Beishi to the Princess' mansion on Zhuque North Street .At this time, the Princess Mansion had begun to take shape. The emperor rewarded many rare things, and Chang Lan decorated it according to her own preferences. The outer courtyard still had a solemn and serious appearance. Seeing that many new trees have been planted, although the left and right courtyards are where servants and guards live, Chang Lan has also put a lot of thought into it. It can be seen that the cost of the middle courtyard is also very generous, and the inner courtyard is even more different. In fact, there are Chang Lan and Jiang Qingluan in the residence of the family members. There are veils hanging everywhere, exquisite bonsai and mountain scenery can be seen everywhere, and the decorations in the house are all from the hands of famous masters, which can be described as luxurious.

Jiang Qingluan's courtyard is behind Chang Lan's courtyard, which used to be the residence of Mrs. Chang'an Jun. There is also a small path between the two courtyards, and it only takes a few steps to pass the path without going through the courtyard gate.

Bale and Youtu put away the only luggage they had, and there was no need to tidy up the room. Chang Lan sent four male and female slaves each to work in her yard. Youtu's slaves were still with Uncle Zong. So for the time being, he could only live in the firewood house, so Ba Le took care of him.

"Your Highness is satisfied with this courtyard." Chang Lan said, she was half a head shorter than Jiang Qingluan, but she already had the aura of the head of the family.

"Satisfied." Jiang Qingluan also became frank: "I remember that when I first came to Tiantian, His Majesty the Emperor gave me the Winter Palace in the western suburbs. Later, I heard that several concubines committed suicide there, and then someone came to assassinate me, so I moved again. When you arrive at the Confucian Mansion, let alone the life there."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, once you enter our residence, you will have your Highness's day as long as I live here." Chang Lan was quite confident.

Chang Lan's words are also clear, she has thrown olive branches to Jiang Qingluan many times, and this sentence undoubtedly implies that the two are already on the same boat, but Jiang Qingluan has never understood that this eldest princess who is loved by the emperor and the prince , If you want wind and rain, it is common, what is the plan.

"Princess, so what exactly do you want Gu to do for you?" Jiang Qingluan turned her head to look at Chang Lan. This princess has extremely bright eyes and seems to be full of hope.

Chang Lan also looked at Qingluan, she raised the corner of her mouth, this is already her princess mansion, she wants something else.

She said: "As a woman, I want to stand on the temple in a court dress and be a good minister of the world. As a woman, I want to enter the battle with a knife and be among the famous generals of the world. As a woman, I want to be in the Lord like my elder brother." The East Palace, inheriting the throne of the Son of Heaven."

After finishing speaking, Chang Lan looked at Jiang Qingluan and asked again: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

What Chang Lan said is disrespectful to anyone's ears, not to mention that the balance of the world's capital here is the root of all orthodoxy, Daxin cannot tolerate the destruction of the etiquette system here. Broken rules.Jiang Qingluan originally thought that Chang Lan was only curious about her own experience, but she never thought that she would have such ambitions.

"Your Highness thinks it's ridiculous?" Chang Lan saw that Jiang Qingluan was silent.

Qingluan shook her head, she didn't find these words ridiculous at all, once upon a time her heart was so magnificent, but the reality was so embarrassing.

"I never thought it was funny." Jiang Qingluan sighed: "I just think that the princess will face all kinds of difficulties and dangers in the future."

However, Chang Lan smiled knowingly, as expected, she was right. If Jiang Qingluan was someone in the pool, she would definitely take her words as a joke, let alone think of all the difficulties and dangers.

"I know it's not easy, otherwise I wouldn't invite Your Highness to come out of the mountain." Chang Lan said, leading Jiang Qingluan to her courtyard, she said: "Actually, let alone entering the temple, in fact, most ministers don't bother to talk to me For state affairs, only my teacher Huo Xian and a few of his disciples secretly support him."

Jiang Qingluan has been a monarch of a country, so he naturally knows that it doesn't matter who is the leader of the country, what matters is that the country is strong and the people are happy. Looking at it now, Daxin is prosperous on the surface, but in fact it is riddled with holes. But after all, a centipede is dead but not stiff. Xin Guo is also the father country of all the countries in the world, and will not be caught in war like other vassal states, but judging from Chang Lan's attitude, it seems that there is an intention to reform.

"Then dare to ask the princess what she wants?"

Chang Lan's opinion has been established since she was a child, and she answered casually, but she could hear the firmness in her words: "Governing the country internally is governed by the law, and governing the world is a combination of vertical and horizontal..."

While the two were talking, they walked slowly in the mansion. The slave servants cleaned up the mansion everywhere, but who could notice that there were still some dry roots in the path between the courtyards, often Lan was talking happily, but accidentally tripped her foot, and Chang Lan staggered and fell straight forward.

Jiang Qingluan grabbed Chang Lan's waist and said softly, "Princess, be careful."

The two talked privately, so naturally no servants followed.After finishing speaking, Jiang Qingluan helped Chang Lan to sit down on the flower platform beside her. Although Chang Lan didn't fall down in the trip just now, her foot was twisted abruptly. Qingluan raised her head and looked at Chang Lan. It didn't come easy.

"I'm disrespectful." Chang Lan said with pain. She was still explaining her ambition just now, but now she felt a little ashamed.

"It's okay." Jiang Qingluan lowered her head, lifted Chang Lan's skirt, and said, "I'm sorry."
