[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

The new year was really busy, until the [-]th day Shen Youyang and some young state officials fled together, no matter what we couldn't find anyone, the rest of us were forced to stop what we were doing and take a rest for a day.In fact, his whereabouts are not difficult to guess, he must have gone to Huajie and Liuxiang again, but everyone has worked so hard during the New Year, so I followed Shen Youyang to let everyone take a rest.

It was rare that I was free before the palace ban came down, so I changed into the long-lost Mrs. Gaoming costume, and entered the harem to meet the Thirteenth Ji Ji.Walking along the harem road, I ran into Obsidian, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Master Yaoshi." I bowed my knees to him.

He waved to let the soldiers behind him go first, and gave me a little support, "Mrs. Lan, don't be too polite." He looked at me and said, "Happy New Year."

I smiled and said, "Yes, Happy New Year." I held up the food box in my hand to him, "If you are free, why don't you try it? I made rice cakes."

We sat at the table in the imperial garden, I opened the food box, Obsidian took a sip, and then nodded to me.

"Thank you, it's delicious."

I bowed my head and smiled.From mediocre culinary skills in the past to now finally being able to enter Huang Yi's mouth, Obsidian's comments have always been the same.

"Will Chinese New Year come to Beijing next year?" he asked.

"If nothing else." I nodded.

He paused, "I will get married next spring, and I hope you can come to drink my wedding wine."

I froze for a moment, then smiled and said: "Master Yaoshi, congratulations!" She must be a good woman, "If you don't give up, I will definitely arrive on that day." This year's happy events are really one after another── Is it worthy of the most governing year?

"It was me who was abrupt."

How come.I was very happy when I heard the news, and I sincerely wanted to congratulate him. It was my luck that he never gave up.I softened my voice and said, "Please don't say that, I will definitely be there."

"Huangzhou, all right?"

I smiled and nodded, "There is no such thing as smooth sailing in this world, but it can be regarded as a wish fulfilled." Seeing him listening attentively, I waved my hand with a broken smile, and continued: "Just kidding, I don't have any wish, at best I just see the opportunity It’s all about doing things. But,” I turned my head and thought for a while, “although bitterness outweighs sweetness, life is full of mixed flavors. On the whole,” I stood up and put away the food box, “isn’t it enough to be delicious?” I I don't want to get cavities.

Hei Yaoshi also stood up, "Miss San, keep working hard."

"Yes, thank you. Happy New Year, Lord Yaoshi, may you be blessed." I saluted him, and he gave me a little nod before turning and leaving.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know my situation at a glance. On the surface of Huangzhou's affairs, I have been entangled in a mess by all kinds of jackals, and the Huang family's miscellaneous affairs have to be added. I just say yes, and others don't believe it. A trick.carry on?Thinking about it this way, is Huang Yi always fooling me?Holding the food box, I pursed my lips slightly thinking about this question, while continuing to walk towards the harem, finally laughed and put aside my thoughts.

The answer, there is no need to think about it.

After this matter is over, I have to find a way to return to Beijing. It's rare to find someone who wants me, so it's a blessing, ah, a blessing.

After entering the harem, I was reminded by the little maid at the side that I happened to meet Thirteenth Ji and Sima Xun, who was then the supervisor of the censor, were arguing -- the kind of young couples arguing.I walked in with a smile on my face, sat on the sidelines, and watched the two of them leisurely. These two people with martial arts skills didn't realize my existence until a full stick of incense passed.

"Sanniang!" Thirteenth Ji was a little flustered.

Sima Xun saluted me with a smile, "I have met Mr. Zhang. Should I call you Mrs. Kui?"

I nodded in return, waved my hand and said, "It's all one sentence, don't worry about it. I've heard the name of Sima Yushi for a long time, but I just saw it today." With bronze skin and tall stature, Sima Xun's appearance is quite good, In terms of martial arts, Xiao Shisan should also be restrained.Remember, he seems to have appeared in "The Story of Caiyun Kingdom", and he seems to have a good relationship with Lan Sizi?

"Well," Sima Xun blinked at me with his single eye, "I can't bear your words. The lord who hurt Lan Xue's heart has long admired his name."

"..." My lips trembled uncontrollably.Lan Xiaohua, I really should let Huang Yi blackmail you.Ah no, it is safer for me to do the hacking myself.I raised my hand and rubbed my aching head.

"Okay, get out of here quickly." Thirteen Ji chased Sima Xun away with a disgusted look on her face, "Why are you joining in a women's party? I can warn you, if you trespass in the harem again, I will kill you." I won't be polite anymore!"

"Hey?" Sima Xun played a rogue by the door, "When did Ying ever treat me politely? This is a rare opportunity, you should ask Mr. Zhang more to learn what is virtuous, virtuous and feminine. .”

"Get lost!" Thirteenth Ji held the... eh, sword?She threw a sword out...

Sima Xun disappeared immediately, and the tip of the sword went straight into the door, and the end was still swinging slightly, making a thin buzzing sound.

She clapped her hands and put her hands on her hips, "Men nowadays are getting more and more useless every day!"

Girl, it's just that you are too cruel.I am inexplicably worried about the men in Caiyun Kingdom.I beckoned Thirteen Ji to come and sit down, poured her a cup of tea, "Sima Yushi just wanted to visit you."

"That's why I said he was useless." Thirteen Ji stood by the coffee table and lowered her head to help me put out the food box.

I was stunned for a moment, and asked: "I don't mind, let me ask more. Thirteen, do you still like Your Majesty?" Or, Sima Xun who was engaged to you?

Thirteenth Ji smiled at me, "Your Majesty is an idiot, it's hard to like it or not. But, as expected, it's better to leave it to Xiao Xiuli, they are a couple. Regarding this point, Your Majesty has done a good job He is a good man with one heart and one mind." She didn't mention Sima Xun.

Thirteen Ji is 25 years old this year, earlier than the marriageable age.In that case, they are all useless men.

"Have you thought about going out of the palace?" A few days ago, someone sent me a letter in Xiaohua's handwriting, asking me to help find out Thirteenth Ji's wishes. They were very concerned. It seemed to be one of the other two Lan Xuena, but I don't know me well, so it's hard to speak, so I borrowed Huahua's name.But looking at the tone of the letter, it is obvious that I am not afraid of guessing it.

"What do you think, San Niang?"

With my left hand, I rolled up the wide sleeve on the right, put my right hand on the tea table, and tapped the table with my finger, "It depends on how you want to go. Now your situation is very good, with the Lan family outside, the royal family inside, and the Caiyun Kingdom." Among unmarried women, your status is not as high as that of Hong Yushi, but much higher than that of Miss Hong Shiluo. Once you leave the palace, you will become just one of the many princesses of the Lan family and lose the special status of the representative of the Lan family in Beijing , the influence on the royal family will also be greatly reduced due to distance.”

"I really don't want to deal with the mess of the previous court, but everyone wants to find out something from the highest female official." Thirteen Ji spread her hands, "Miss Zhu Cui was not easy in the past, she had to deal with brother Qiu Ying's clumsy while maintaining a dignified manner. From a pursuit that makes you want to die, you have to deal with these things.”

"It's also a good thing," I smiled, "I didn't realize that so many people cared about the king's movements before."

"Sanniang is in Huangzhou, how is it?" Thirteen Ji took a bite of the pastry, "Isn't it time to show those who underestimate you a little more?"

I laughed, "What underestimates. What did you hear?"

Thirteenth Jiyuan looked out the window, "Female officials, even Xiao Xiuli, will inevitably be attacked. What's more, Sanniang's previous achievements are overwhelmed by so many people. These psychologically unbalanced men are not trying hard now. Chief Kui's enemies are also Quite a lot, right? I didn’t dare to touch Officer Aoi, so I just looked for women to attack.”

Thirteen Ji's political tentacles are getting sharper and sharper.In recent years, in order to integrate the aristocratic faction, Huang Yi has been restraining his edge since he married me. In addition, Feng Ji retreated behind the scenes and only wore honors on his body. It is inevitable that some people have different ideas.Since I was promoted by Huang Yi, I benefited from one body, and I was also one body when I was attacked.

I smiled and patted the back of Thirteen Ji's hand, "I've come through so many ups and downs, don't worry about me." Anyway, Huang Yi, a fool, will protect me, hahahaha.I said softly: "Don't worry about me, I'm not in Beijing all year round, you have to take care of yourself." To be honest, I have to be careful at every step, but I don't need to be confused.As the powerful party, the way of attacking suddenly is different from the people below.Huang Yi has personally brought down countless high-ranking officials, so he will be careful.

"I," Thirteen Ji tilted her head, "want to go for a walk."

"That's good." The entanglement of many forces is not for their own comfort?If you are willing to go, then go, "Then Sima Yushi?" Don't regret it.

Thirteen Ji held the corners of her mouth slightly, her expression was mature and beautiful, and she did not evade, "Of course I will deal with it before I leave. Oh, it's like someone left a romantic debt even when he left?"

……ha?I am not romantic!I tapped her head lightly, and said angrily, "What can I do if Huang Yi hears me?" This girl, if this happens, I don't think she will be able to leave. I speak from experience.If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will be at a disadvantage! Thirteen, I will write a letter to Lan's house tonight, and I will buy Sima Yushi to win.

"By the way, Sanniang won't be going to brother Xuena's wedding?"

"Looking at it now, I can only congratulate a glass of wine."

"Oh~ I thought that Sanniang could become my family. However, brother Xuena is already here today," Shisanji showed an extremely comfortable expression, "Sister-in-law Yuhua said that brother Xuena was chasing the second sister-in-law. He was trapped on the mountain for a whole month. Brother Long Lian was about to play the funeral ensemble for him, so he rode back to Lanben's house with a bad face on the bear."

"..." Something extraordinary seemed to have happened to Hua.I covered my mouth with my sleeves and coughed lightly to hide my smile, so as not to laugh too presumptuously in front of my sister.

"Sanniang," she stuck out her tongue at me, and a big girl pretended to be cute, "Are you satisfied with Mr. Aoi?"

I helplessly covered my forehead, and seeing her smiling sweetly, I had no choice but to reply: "Huang Yi is very kind to me, he has always been gentle."

"..."

"Thirteen?"

"..." Thirteen Ji blushed, raised her hands and rubbed her temples vigorously, "San Niang, I may have been kicked by a horse today, and I have auditory hallucinations."

aha?The person who should be kicked by the horse seems to be me?I took out a small handkerchief and wiped my hands, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Thirteen Ji’s mouth, stuffed her like a fish with chicken, then wiped my hands again, folded the handkerchief on my lap, and smiled He said: "It's not a secret, everyone knows that Huang Yi is a good husband." Seeing that Thirteenth Ji seemed to be choking to death, I kindly poured her a glass of water and continued honestly: "Huang Yi is considerate and considerate, And he loves his wife, he will take the initiative to coax people when he makes me angry, he knows how to live, knows how to be funny, "I laughed until my eyes narrowed into a line, "he is an impeccable lover." Most importantly, I love him .

Thirteen Ji slapped her chest fiercely, trying hard to cough out the pastry stuck in her throat.I turned my face away with a guilty conscience, felt that I had played too much, and hurriedly went to the imperial doctor for help.

At the end of February, all the officials from other states had already set off to go back, and only our team in Huangzhou was still doing the finishing touches—not to make a formal proposal, but to pull people out of office.

For the implementation of the New Deal, it is necessary to find a few people to sacrifice the flag to have prestige.The transfer of state officials could have been decided within the state, but it involved too much, so I had to make it clear at the court. More than half of the people who accompanied me to the capital this time were people whom I had discussed with Shen Youyang and Huiqi. .Leaving Huangzhou, the influence of the state officials will not be able to be used, and they can only submit.Once the plan is started and the personnel affairs are clarified, the completion of the proposal will come naturally.

Ah, of course it also includes that I worked as a low-level junior in the state for the past two years, which is how I tricked everyone into following me unsuspectingly.The position of the rookie is not good, but it is not a waste of chess.

"Answer." I dropped the last piece on the chessboard, ending the duel between myself and myself.Baizi has won against Heizi, but Heizi clearly has the upper hand. Where did I go wrong?I frowned, picked up the cold tea beside me, lifted the lid of the cup and took a sip.

"Knock, knock." There was a knock on the door, "Master Zhang, it's me, my subordinate Wei Shan."

"Please come in." I almost forgot that I didn't come to the station to play chess, but to wait for news.Today is the day for Shen Youyang to go to the court to reveal the case. As for me, a small state master, I am not qualified to go to the court, so I am happy to have a leisurely time.The general has to go to battle, and the idiot just steals the time, haha.

"My lord," Wei Shan pushed the door open and bowed his hands to me, "There is news from the palace that Yushitai wants to expose your case on the same day."

"Which one?" I raised my hand to stop him, and asked again: "Is it Lu Qingya or Hong Xiuli?"

"No, just a censor."

"Then I'll trouble you to stop them from entering the palace, and let them go after the court breaks up."

"Yes."

In order to make people relax, I have made a lot of excuses, but the officials are not fools. After this matter is settled, there is no need to deal with me on the cusp of the storm. This is not the case for meritorious deeds. From the state shepherd to the court. Protect me, no one will dare to touch me for the time being.The key is the success or failure of the proposal.On the Huang family's side, if Feng Ming loses, then they need to find someone else.

Huang Yi has reached the position of switching from offense to defense. Now that I have fulfilled Huijia's expectations, my next step has to be a little more steady so as not to drag everyone down.

I poured the tea out of the window, took the tea pot under the coffee table, and brewed another pot.I lowered my head and took a sniff, and felt something was wrong... Why is the tea in Shen Youyang's room so bad?I turned my head and thought for a while, then stood up and reached out to touch the outside of the window sill, and took out a box of tea, and laughed out loud.Knowing that I'm waiting in his room, deliberately tricking me?It's such a big person, sometimes it's like a child.

Should I be a matchmaker for him?Well, another day, I will ask the wives in Beijing who is the best lady.I sat back, straightened the hem of my skirt, and pondered over this while scooping up tea.But people say it’s better not to be a matchmaker, so let’s forget it, don’t harm others, Miss Jia, haha.

Looking at the bustling Guiyang outside the window, after waiting for a cup of tea, I rolled up my sleeves and lifted the pot to pour tea again. Wisps of white smoke rose from the cup. I put the pot aside, picked up the teacup and sniffed it. Heart and lung tea fragrance, use the cup lid to gently remove the tea leaves on the surface, and take another sip.

The tea is not top-notch, but it is what I am used to drinking in Huangzhou.

Another day, I have to try other teas, don't always make me food from Huang Yi, I have to bring him some good things too.

I held the teacup and leaned against the bed, narrowing my eyes slightly against the sunlight outside the window.Dongyang is really comfortable.

"Kow knock. Mr. Zhang, next official Wei Shan."

I sat up straight and gently put down my teacup, "Please come in."

"My lord," Wei Shan smiled and pushed open the door, "all of them are taken down."

I smiled slightly, "Then how about going to a restaurant outside tonight and having a good meal to celebrate?"

"Hey, is there a censor watching?"

"It's okay. After we go back, everyone has to be busy with the implementation, so let's relax."

"Yes, just follow your lord's advice. I'll go and ask the officers and soldiers from Huangzhou who followed me all the way to go with me."

"Official Wei is still careful."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." He turned and went out.

I picked up the teacup and turned my head to continue looking at the undisturbed street outside the window.I edited and changed the list and details, leaving aside those who were willing to give way, but there were still some names that had to be filled in.

I personally feel that the difference between officialdom and shopping malls is that there is no win-win here, only lose-lose.

Seriously, all lost.

I put down the teacup, let out a soft bang, then rolled up my sleeves and walked out with a smile.Since you won a battle, you should be happy no matter what.Gotta smile.

Afterwards, the reform proposal of the Huangzhou post office was finally put on the imperial court's agenda. Shen Youyang and his party also returned to Huangzhou. Afterwards, I returned to Guiyang and stayed by my side.In addition, I am also active in the Ministry of Officials, hoping to be transferred back to Guiyang.This time I did something big, and the head is already opened, so I should get out of that quagmire as soon as possible.

In March, Huahua got married amidst the blooming cherry blossoms, but Huang Fengming... had a small, ahem, big accident.The eldest daughter of the Xia clan of the Huang family that Feng Ming wanted to marry had fled and ran straight to Beijing and threatened to pursue Feng Zhu. Sending the letter so that Feng Zhu doesn't have to have any scruples, it's better to be considerate of the lady's heart, and so on.I happened to be there when Fengzhu received the letter, but I saw Fengzhu tear up the letter silently.

Miss Xia is reckless, so how will she behave in the future?However, I think Feng Zhu, who knows well, has a lot of pity for her, and with the protection of the Huang family, it should be no big deal.

It would be even better if Fengzhu followed, hahahaha.

One day, when I changed into the clothes of Mrs. Gaoming and wanted to enter the palace to find Thirteenth Ji, I ran into Cheng Honglusi and his son in front of the palace gate.

"It's an official Zhang." Honglu Temple Cheng smirked and said, "Oh, look at my mouth, I should be called Mrs. Kui, right. Sigh... this title is really troublesome."

It is also right to run on me with words. One of his clan brothers was just taken away by me in the Huangzhou state official case.I saluted him as an official, and said with a smile, "It's all just one sentence. I'll see you, my lord."

"Come on," he greeted his son, "won't you hurry up and salute Mr. Zhang? The elders and the younger are orderly, and there is a distinction between the superior and the inferior. You have to salute him well." Such a strange ambiguity clearly means that I am a newcomer. To pick things up.

Cui Changfeng, who was standing beside me and seeing me off, smiled even wider, but those who knew him knew that he was angry.I pretended not to know, and replied with a smile, "How dare I be a lower official? There is no priority in learning, and the best ones are the first. Let the young master take time to set himself above the lower officials." I pushed back neither softly nor hard.

"Hmph, Mr. Zhang, the mountains and rivers take turns."

I bent down to salute him, "My lord, I hope you have a lot of offenses, and don't care about us ignorant people."

After many times of bowing and apologizing, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, who never expected to really fall out with me, finally left.I straightened my sore waist and turned my head to look at Cui Changfeng, only to see his expression sink.

"Changfeng?"

"Senior Sister," his smile finally dropped, and he frowned, "Why do you do this?"

"Peace is the most important thing. It's not bad to leave as much room as possible." I persuaded him softly.

"But...you don't have to do it yourself? With your order, he is not worthy to carry your shoes." As the years passed, Changfeng became more and more extreme, "so narrow-minded, only seeing selfish interests People, how can I deserve my senior sister to bow to him? Virtue is not counted, only the level of interests is concerned, and it really is the imperial court."

I smiled, "Is the attitude of some people who will change their attitude because of your grade really so important? It's not that you don't want to talk about it, just don't take it to heart. Look," I held out a finger and shook After a while, "When I was in my boudoir, I had a very good reputation; later, Zhang Sanniang's name was like a jackal; when I married into Kui's family, I became a man of high virtue; Mrs. Kui, who has nothing to do but has a lack of morals and a low family background; up to now, she is a villain who clings to her husband and acts insidiously." I spread my hands, "I feel that I am me, I have not changed, but maybe I have changed Anyway, do you still think it’s worth it?” I can’t accept the officialdom, and I won’t force him, but I hope he at least doesn’t make a fool of himself.

"Senior Sister!"

"I don't mind how many waists I bend, as long as I hold the bottom line myself." Xu Shi talked a lot and stood for a long time. I suddenly felt a little shaking in front of my eyes, so I blinked my eyes to refresh myself, and said in a gentle voice: "Chang Feng, if you can get a life by bending your waist, will you fold it? If you lose your life, will you still fold it? The key is not to bend or not to bend, but to the principle. I sincerely admire those who do not bend their waist for five buckets of rice, "for I respect both Li Wenxian and Lin Mu, whose family members decided to retire peacefully, "I think these are all different paths." So Changfeng, can you untie the deep lock between your brows?I know you're different, I'm heartless, but it's also hard for me to see the juniors who have taken care of me from childhood to adulthood so unhappy.Even if I am selfish, even if I am fooling, I hope he will look away.

"What's going on?" Huang Yi, who walked out of the palace gate, strode forward with a cold face.

Changfeng casually bowed his hands to Huang Yi and turned to leave. I was about to speak, but suddenly my world spun and I fell down. Huang Yi hurriedly caught me.It was dark before my eyes, there was ringing in my ears, and I had a splitting headache, and it took me a long time to get over my breath.

"Lan!" Huang Yi hugged me tightly.

I shook my head to wake up, and pointed to Changfeng who saw me wake up and was about to leave again.

Huang Yi shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!"

Chang Feng opened his lips, but seeing Huang Yi's expression, he finally walked to my side without saying anything.

"Senior Sister." There was apology and guilt between the unruly eyebrows.

"Lan, let's go to the imperial hospital." Huang Yi picked me up and said coldly to Changfeng, "How old are you? You can't hold back your emotions when things happen. It's a shame that Lin Mu taught me such a waste , it can be considered that the chief examiner of the national examination back then had no eyes."

Changfeng pursed his lips tightly, but didn't reply.

I twitched the corner of my mouth, "Changfeng, you go back first, and we'll talk about it later. Remember to have lunch, did you hear me?"

"Yes. Sister, I'm sorry." He straightened his clothes and bowed formally to me.

He was a good boy after all.

All the way to Tai Hospital, everyone was dumbfounded by our appearance, but what I want to talk about is something else.I pulled the clothes on Huang Yi's chest, and said softly: "Huang Yi, take Lord Lin Mu and let's go." It will hurt Changfeng's self-esteem.

"It's kind of me if I don't beat him up." He frowned fiercely, "I don't care if Lin Mu is self-willed, but if he contradicts you, does he still have any brains?"

"Hi." Don't talk about the teachers.

He glanced at me, "Don't worry about it, have you ever wondered why they taught you this?"

carry on?

Huang Yi continued: "You are the last students of Li Wenxian and Lin Mu respectively."

I lower my eyes.is that so?That's it.Probably, what we have learned is the teacher's last wish.From my fortune to the present, I have never left the officialdom; Changfeng wanted to leave, but he would still be furious about the affairs of the court.Teachers, I still care about Caiyun Country.

This is the river and mountain that killed them all.

Heshan who severely hurt Huangyi and Changfeng.

But I know that the teacher must want us well, but for the questions at the foot of Jiangchuan Mountain, maybe even the teacher didn't get the answer.

"Officer Kui, official Zhang?" Suddenly, a piece of His Majesty Zi Liuhui appeared from nowhere at the corner.

"Your Majesty, I'm not feeling well, and I hope you will forgive me for my loss of appearance."

"No, not feeling well?" Zi Liuhui's eyes widened, and then he shouted nervously: "Gu, Gu, go to the imperial doctor right away." Then, he ran away again...

His Majesty's majesty has grown, but it still seems to be...pretty and cute.

Huang Yi and I looked at each other and continued walking towards the imperial physician. On the way, we met Zi Liuhui who was rushing back with the imperial physician. Huang Yi put me to sit on the railing under the corridor and asked the imperial physician to take a preliminary pulse diagnosis.

"Hmm..." The imperial physician pressed and pressed on my wrist, probing with one hand and then the other, and then announced with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Kui and Mr. Zhang. Your Madam is very happy."

……

…………

…………… Aha?

Didn't I stop menstruating due to menopause?

I thought that in ancient times, my body cycle would usher in menopause faster...

I silently looked up at Aoi-kun, who seemed to be classified as a "terribly useless man".

The author has something to say:
