The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 200 Cut it off!

This time, the governor said two more words. He said, "Don't offend Princess Xuan. But Princess Xuan is also a very good person and very generous."

Didn't he feel that this was contradictory?

This thought came to their minds at the same time.

"Since we are in Xingzhou, I can send a few people to accompany you and walk around. I think it won't interfere with official business, right?" The governor asked one more question.

Wan Shirong and others thanked him for his kindness and turned to leave.

"Master Wan, do you want to go somewhere else? There is a county magistrate named Liu, who is my hometown..."

Wan Shirong's face was as gloomy as water, and he shook his head and waved his hands, saying: "No need, I'm afraid they all say the same thing. People like the governor and Sima all say the same thing, and those with lower positions, can they say anything different?"

The East Pavilion Jiji sighed heavily, his face full of confusion: "If they didn't all say the same thing, I would have suspected that someone had an affair with Princess Xuan..."

Wan Shirong coughed heavily: "What nonsense? You are going to die!"

The East Pavilion Jijiu suddenly turned pale and bowed his head and said: "I said something wrong, I said something wrong."

Wan Shirong regained his calm look and said disappointedly: "Most of the officials in Xingzhou are flatterers."

"It's still Princess Xuan who is flattering." Someone said.

Wan Shirong said sadly: "Is there no one who is not willing to go along with him?"

"My fellow countryman may..."

"Forget it, since you admire him so much, he must be able to stick to his pure nature. Why not go and see him?"

As they talked, they finally went to see County Magistrate Liu.

County Magistrate Liu's house was obviously not as spacious as the houses of the governor and others. No matter how poor Xingzhou was, it could still have some artificial landscapes.

County Magistrate Liu's house looked a little bare.

The gate even had traces of being renovated.

"It's really a poor family!" Wan Shirong slowly withdrew his gaze and sighed.

"Yes, he was the magistrate of Wucheng County, Huzhou. He dared to speak for the people and disdained flattery..." The person next to him sighed, "I also admire my fellow countryman in my heart."

After hearing this, Wan Shirong also wanted to make friends with him.

Traveling with an honest official, you will naturally get a good reputation.

He has already held the position of tutor. He will either leave his fiefdom and serve as an official in the court in the future, or King Xuan will ascend to the throne in the future. Apart from this, he can no longer rise. Naturally, he began to pay more attention to his reputation.

"Then come in quickly and introduce this noble and upright person to us." They talked and stepped into the door.

County Magistrate Liu went out to greet him upon hearing the voice, and his wife stayed at the door of the hall, holding a jade hairpin in her hand.

That was what County Magistrate Liu had just given her.

They were both old couples, and they didn't have so many particularities. But a few days ago, County Magistrate Liu said that he was praised by His Highness, and in his joy, he went to the market for several days to choose a jade hairpin as a gift for Mrs. Liu.

County Magistrate Liu's pocket was not very rich, and he had been delayed until today to choose it.

But it was enough to make Mrs. Liu happy.

The husband and wife's relationship, which had become increasingly dull since coming to Xingzhou, seemed to be much more harmonious and intimate for a while. It seemed as if they had regained the deep affection when they first got married.

Madam Liu looked at the visitor who claimed to be a subordinate of the Xuanwang Mansion, and watched them walk into the door with Magistrate Liu in a friendly manner.

Magistrate Liu looked thin, and he looked like a scholar. Thinking of the friendship between the people he was traveling with, he did not shy away.

Wan Shirong sighed directly: "How could the administration of Xingzhou be so corrupt?"

Magistrate Liu was shocked: "Why do you say that?"

Wan Shirong looked bitter and said: "I think they all only want to flatter and flatter, and they are unwilling to say a word of truth. If they focus on this every day, how can they have the mind to benefit the people?"

Magistrate Liu blushed, thinking of what the Xuanwang wife said that day.

He said, "That's not the case. It's just that being exiled to this place is not easy for everyone. Only by creating a new way of life can we strive for more welfare for the people."

"But I think County Magistrate Liu is not that kind of person."

"Shame, shame..." County Magistrate Liu said, his eyes were still a little red, and he sighed, "My old bones were going to break."

"But it didn't break, right?" Wan Shirong sighed, and he also looked up to County Magistrate Liu in his heart.

Xingzhou's atmosphere is like this, and he can still insist on it alone, which shows how difficult it is.

County Magistrate Liu's eyes were even redder, and he choked up and said, "It was His Royal Highness Xuan Wang who helped me to straighten my broken bones."

Wan Shirong was stunned.

"This...what do you mean?" Dongge Jijiu also spoke in a daze.

County Magistrate Liu sighed, but was unwilling to talk more. He only said: "Your Highness is such a wise ruler. I envy you all for being able to be a minister of the royal palace."

Wan Shirong moved his lips: "Your Highness... Your Highness is a god in using troops, and is very brave and brave. He is indeed a wise ruler."

"You must assist Your Highness well." County Magistrate Liu choked again.

Wan Shirong felt a little uncomfortable. They naturally thought so, but if someone else told them, it would be... a little awkward.

It seems that the officials of Xingzhou are closer to His Highness Xuanwang than they are.

And the Xuanwang they described was really surprising and unfamiliar to them.

Wan Shirong smacked his lips and felt tasteless for a while.

When they entered the hall, they bowed their heads and saluted Mrs. Liu.

Wan Shirong said again: "I'm afraid that beauty will mislead people... Although Your Highness is wise, he can't resist the Xuanwang wife..."

He said in a deeper tone: "How does she look like a housewife? She actually wanted to sit in on His Highness's discussion. She intervened before His Highness opened his mouth. Isn't it like a chicken sitting in the morning?"

"This..." Magistrate Liu hesitated for a moment.

The hen Si Chen has always been the chaos that civil servants are most wary of and hate.

But...but if Princess Xuan hadn't spoken up that day, His Highness Prince Xuan might have left in despair.

He has received "favor" from Princess Xuan. If he should be with Wan Shirong at this time, how can he be considered a man?

Unexpectedly, before County Magistrate Liu could refute, Mrs. Liu's face turned red with anger. Holding the hairpin tightly, she stepped forward and sternly scolded: "Even ordinary people, couples. Always sit together to discuss matters.”

That's true.

Magistrate Liu heartily agreed. He and Mrs. Liu were like this, always talking to each other about anything.

"You are too lenient... When you come here today, are you trying to trick my husband into going with you to beg His Highness not to allow the princess to accompany you?" Mrs. Liu's tone became even more angry.

In fact, this is what worries her the most.

She was afraid that her husband had really been deceived.

Wan Shirong was stunned, and his hair flew out in anger.

On the front foot, she said Princess Xuan and Si Chen, and on the back foot, Mrs. Liu rushed out and pointed.

Didn't Magistrate Liu stop his wife?

However, County Magistrate Liu said with a cold face: "Princess Xuan is also a smart person who is measured, tolerant and generous. You don't have to look down on her so much."

Mrs. Liu couldn't hold it back, and added another scolding: "Since we are in a place like this, husband and wife are one and live together, what's wrong with that?"

County Magistrate Liu was also convinced and knew that Mrs. Liu was thinking of themselves.

He originally wanted to say, since you are all ministers of the royal palace, why should you offend Princess Xuan? Don’t you see that countless soldiers and generals under King Xuan are willing to listen to her?

By this time, he had swallowed it all.

"We have different ways and we can't talk to each other. Please go back." County Magistrate Liu said.

Wan Shirong and the others were really dumbfounded now.

Even this unique stream of "clear water" still spoke well of Princess Xuan in the end!

"Since you are a subject of the palace, the princess should also be your master. How can you have the slightest bit of gentlemanly character when you make such arrogant remarks?" Mrs. Liu's voice became louder as she scolded her.

Wan Shirong looked ugly and couldn't bear to listen. He said in a deep voice: "Yes, the Tao is different! No wonder County Magistrate Liu is like this. It turns out that Mrs. Li is such a disobedient person."

He was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and left.

Others quickly followed.

After a while, they stood on the huge land of Xingzhou, but they suddenly felt out of place.

The feeling made them uncomfortable and confused.

How come Princess Xuan has become a person praised by everyone? Why can't you just say it?

The news here was not hidden from Xue Qingyin and King Xuan.

Listening to the personal guards talking about how they came to visit one by one... Xue Qingyin wondered: "They are quite leisurely, so they have made friends with Xingzhou officials?"

The guard smiled and said, "I'm asking about His Highness's preferences."

Not long after, another guard rushed in, opened his mouth and said: "After Wan Shirong left, Sima Qiu Zhao wrote a secret letter and sent it to the capital."

Fang Chengzhong stood aside and asked doubtfully: "Our deterrence is not enough? Qiu Zhao still dares to inform?"

"The report should not be about the mine." King Xuan looked very calm.

Xue Qingyin looked strange and blurted out: "Did you guess that something bad happened in Yizhou? Then Qiu Sima is really smart."

She paused and couldn't help but said angrily: "This Wan Shirong is really holding us back."

Since there was work from Prince Zhang's old department in Yizhou, it would be best for the emperor to know about this matter later.

This can leave them enough time to resolve the matter in Yizhou.

What should be collected should be collected, and what should be dealt with should be dealt with...

But if it reaches the emperor's ears, things may become more complicated.

"Is Wan Shirong still scolding me behind my back?" Xue Qingyin asked with narrowed eyes.

"Yes...how does the princess know?" The guard smiled awkwardly.

Xue Qingyin snorted coldly: "It's not surprising that an old-fashioned person like him can't stand me. But it's really rare for him to be so annoying."

Fang Chengzhong responded: "Most of these officials have the same mentality."

"Huh?" Xue Qingyin turned her head.

Fang Chengzhong smiled and said: "I hope the master is a wise master, but I am afraid that the master is too capable. I desperately want to show my ability, highlight my role and importance. Especially they suffered a defeat in Yizhou, and now they are even more I want to turn the tide..."

Xue Qingyin pointed at herself: "You put your arms around me." She curled her lips: "It's time to be chopped off."

King Xuan pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Bring the people here."

When Xue Qingyin heard this, she quickly turned around and said, "You don't really want to chop them up, do you?"

"Your Highness, there is a letter from the capital." The guard rushed over, holding a letter and handed it to Xue Qingyin, "It is from Mr. Xue to the princess."

Xue Qingyin thought it was outrageous.

Why did He Songning write a letter to her? Is it a yin and yang thing? Or are you trying to sow discord?

Xue Qingyin opened the letter and read "I love Qingyin" when she looked up.

Xue Qingyin: "vomit."

King Xuan asked: "What's wrong?" At the same time, he turned his gaze slightly. With this sweep, I also reached the beginning.

King Xuan: "..."

"My love... Qingyin." King Xuan opened his lips and slowly uttered these four words.

The people around were stunned for a moment before they realized that such cheesy words should not come out of His Highness' mouth in public.

Oh, then it must have come from that brother-in-law!

Fang Chengzhong touched his nose.

He thought, well, if they bump into each other, maybe he'll really cut someone to pieces!
