The queen is a bit cowardly

Kong Yida stared, and when he got up, he knocked down the food table in front of him, and the tofu fell all over him, and the luxurious material suddenly seemed much cheaper. In other words, even Ji Shuda beside Kong Yida sat firmly.

"Brother Kong, you go ahead." Ji Shuda glanced at Yu Ling and said, "Since the horse bandit has escaped, I have to protect the princess even more."

Kong Yida was used to such faces in the court, and he himself was one of them. Who told him that his father was not a princeling, so he turned around and went downstairs with a flick of his sleeves.

Jiang Qingluan ate another two chopsticks of tofu. The tofu was delicious, but she wanted to watch a good show rather than eat it. She walked up to Ji Shuda, bowed her hands to her colleagues, and said, "Brother Ji's father and my teacher Kong You are good or bad. In the same court, the crown prince told General Ji to protect the princess, why don't I go downstairs to see Master Kong."

Ji Shuda thought that Jiang Qingluan was very thoughtful, so he asked Jiang Qingluan to take a few people down to have a look, and if they could help, they would help, and if they couldn't, they would come back, lest Kong Yida should blame Xiaoqiying for not doing well.

Jiang Qingluan went downstairs, stepping on the stairs creaking, and then smelled a smell of burning wood, mixed with the smell of horse manure, and then heard someone on the first floor start calling for water, wait When I walked downstairs, I saw many people carrying buckets to the stables.

Jiang Qingluan was not in a hurry, she saw the canal when she entered the town, and she hummed a tune, which was the tune she heard from Wu Zhu just now, she stood aside while holding the knife on her waist, looking at the There were no horses or people in the burning stables ten feet away, but they were afraid that the fire would spread to other places, so everyone was anxious to put out the fire.

"Where are the people! Where are the people!" Kong Yida stood in front of the stable and roared: "Where did the horse bandit go!"

The captain of Sili was flustered. He thought that there were not only the chief officer in the wine shop, but also 200 people from the Xiaoqi battalion. The prisoners had shackles on their feet. I went to ask for tofu, but the man who just ate tofu disappeared, and the stable was burned.

"Obviously it was still there just now..."

"Look, look for it right away! This place is so big, and there are plains everywhere, and they can't run far, so search in four directions, east, west, north, south!" Kong Yida said.

And Jiang Qingluan simply leaned against the back door, seeing him in such a panic, Ji Shuda took Princess Ling downstairs when he was young, and fire seemed to be more dangerous than horse bandits.

"Is there any help?" Ji Shuda asked.

"No." Jiang Qingluan replied honestly, "I checked, but I can't help you with anything."

"Then let's go, it's not suitable to stay for a long time at this time." Ji Shuda scanned around, and asked again: "Where is your centurion?"

"Bale?" Jiang Qingluan turned around and followed behind Ji Shuda: "I guess they are waiting for us outside."

Sure enough, when he walked out of the restaurant, he saw that Ba Le had put his army in order, and a group of soldiers were all ready to go, which made Princess Ling feel that the Daxin soldiers were meticulous and mighty. I don't want to stay here any longer.

Ji Shuda looked back at the smoking restaurant, and said in a low voice, "Although the tofu is delicious, it still feels a bit hot this day."

The Study Room of the Princess' Mansion

If the best writing brush is Zhou Hao from Qi State, Zhou County of Qi State is rich in writing brushes, and officials from all over the world travel thousands of miles to buy one here to show that they are knowledgeable and elegant.

Chang Lan is no exception, but she is really elegant, her small script is as powerful as pine needles, and her fonts are clear and skeletal, worthy of everyone's style.

"Princess, Your Highness is back." A Li said.

Usually Chang Lan does not allow others to disturb her calligraphy practice, but today Chang Lan specially ordered Jiang Qingluan to take the lead.

Chang Lan put down her pen, raised her head and looked outside the door, her solemn face suddenly became colorful.

"Princess." Jiang Qingluan saluted with his hands on his chest and bowed his head.

"Your Highness, hurry up."

Jiang Qingluan was already familiar with Chang Lan's study room, and there seemed to be a dedicated seat for her - next to Chang Lan, and even the seat was in the same style as Chang Lan's, and it was completely different from the guest seat.

The servants cleared up the desks, A Li brought tea, and both of them had relaxed expressions on their faces.

"It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles." Chang Lan said: "Yesterday, you escorted Princess Ling and showed off our country's military capabilities. You did some meritorious service. As a result, it was reported in Tianping City that Kong Yida lost the horse bandit."

Jiang Qingluan frowned, and said with a smile: "What horse bandits, the slaves he captured, I asked Bale to investigate. Those are all slaves from Baili County, who were captured by Kong Yida to make up for it."

"So you let him go?" Chang Lan looked at him with an insightful look.

Jiang Qingluan did not shy away from it, and had already identified Chang Lan as one of his own.

"I didn't let it go, but I did instruct Ba Le to do it." Jiang Qingluan leaned her chin sideways: "At that time, I knew that he was not catching a horse bandit just by looking at the shackles. The shackles were already stuck in the flesh. How can there be such a deep mark on a person."

Chang Lan witnessed Kong Yida insulting Jiang Qingluan with her own eyes, not to mention that Kong Yida used slaves to make up for it, Jiang Qingluan did nothing wrong.

"Your Highness's enemy is my enemy, not to mention Your Highness, if one day I catch him, I will definitely not let him go." Chang Lan's tone was firm. The so-called exchange of sincerity for sincerity, she firmly believed that Jiang Qingluan was also such a person .

"Qingluan naturally felt the sincerity of the princess, and the prince felt that it was a good idea to escort Princess Ling for an outing." Jiang Qingluan replied.In fact, the diplomatic mission seems simple, but in fact it is extremely complicated. Of course, the key is to ensure Yu Ling's safety, and the second is to show the country's prestige through actions along the way. Jiang Qingluan and Ji Shuda have indeed done this along the way.

"Then have you ever petitioned the crown prince?" Chang Lan asked to focus, this time the matter was settled, and it also gave Ji Shuda a logical reason to go up. Chang Dai also hoped to train the young staff around him.

"Princess, don't worry, I have already petitioned the prince." Jiang Qingluan replied.

It is not easy for Chang Lan to ask the prime minister for something, but the crown prince has such a right, and what she wants is the annual tribute files of various countries, and it is most appropriate for Jiang Qingluan to come forward to ask for this file. First of all, she is the king of Fu Kingdom, so she naturally has the right to Knowing about Fu Guo's situation, secondly, Jiang Qingluan owed Chang Dai the initiative to petition Chang Dai, and Chang Dai would treat her as one of his own.

"And," Jiang Qingluan said, took out a bamboo tube from her sleeve, and she handed it to Chang Lan: "I've already tidied it up for the princess."

Opening the bamboo tube, there was indeed a list of annual tributes from various countries inside. Chang Lan glanced over, and everything was as she expected. The annual tributes of Yongguo and Zhaoguo were indeed decreasing year by year, and this year was even worse.This proved my guess. Generally, the annual tribute of the princes is often one-tenth of the annual income. Except for big countries like Fu, Cheng, and Shangluo who hide their real annual income, small countries are relatively honest, and Yong The annual tribute of Zhao and Zhao is so low, it can be seen that the state treasuries of the two countries are also afraid of insufficient food, which can also explain why there are spies saying that there are a large number of refugees. I've turned my back on it.

Chang Lan hurriedly wrote another letter and sent it to Da Sima, to see if the other adults thought as much as she did.

After finishing the business, Chang Lan looked at Jiang Qingluan again, and couldn't help but smile again. The more he looked at the person in front of him, the more he liked him. It is a blessing in the world to have the right arm and the right arm.

"What is the princess laughing at?" Jiang Qingluan asked, Chang Lan saw how charming she was, and she should see Chang Lan in the same way.

"I am happy, Your Highness is not with others, but in my residence."

"Princess Xie is not giving up." Jiang Qingluan also replied politely.

"Then Your Highness..." Chang Lan thought for a while before saying, "Would you like to stay with me forever?"

Jiang Qingluan froze for a moment, she did have the ambition to avoid revenge, but she also knew it would not be easy, now that Chang Lan treats her very well, wandering for five years, this is the first time she feels cared for here again, even a stone would soften her heart.

"Will the princess stay in Tianping all the time?" Jiang Qingluan asked back, implying that she was pointing out the matter of marriage. Before there was the son of Shangjing, and now there is the son of Shangluo. Even her ancestors knew that she was the eldest princess of Daxin. With the recognition and support of the royal family, let alone other princes.

"No." Chang Lan replied truthfully.

Jiang Qingluan suddenly felt empty, but she heard Chang Lan say again: "But if Your Highness does not abandon, I will not leave the palace. No matter what other princes and princes I want, I will not want it. The place I want to go is the top of the sky. With the power of my palace Stop fighting all over the world, and keep the people of Daxin safe."

"Your Highness... were you nervous just now?" Chang Lan added in a low voice.

"No, where?" Jiang Qingluan lowered her head, her cheeks were a little red. She was obviously nervous just now. She didn't want to see Chang Lan get married. Petals into the mud.

"Hey, I thought His Highness cared about me, but it seems like I'm overthinking it again." Chang Lan pretended to be disappointed, and she looked at Jiang Qingluan quietly, but seeing the other party's expression of bewilderment, she suddenly felt that The other party is a little cute.

"No, that's not the case." Jiang Qingluan explained: "Of course I care about the princess."

Jiang Qingluan blurted out the words, and after the words were over, the two felt that there was ambiguity in the words, do you care?What kind of care, out of what kind of feelings to care about?For a while, the two of them became quiet. Chang Lan took a sip of tea and looked into the distance. Jiang Qingluan grabbed her pants and pinched them again and again.

"It's getting late, Gu...Gu go back to the room first." Jiang Qingluan stood up and said.

Chang Lan nodded fiercely, only thinking about sending Jiang Qingluan away immediately, and ending this somewhat embarrassing scene: "Your Highness has worked hard, let's rest earlier."

Jiang Qingluan went out, but Chang Lan put down her cup again, and looked in the direction of the gate. If it was Jiang Qingluan who was empty in her heart just now, it was her now.

Princess: Please propose marriage if you care, thank you
