The true and false lady's heart is waiting for the lady

Bai Ruofeng then took Yu Xiaoxiao into his arms.

The Bai family is now attracting attention because of its size.

Yu Xiaoxiao's worries are normal. Shen Yunhe has secretly raised tens of thousands of private soldiers. If it weren't for his sister's tricks with Nangong Moxu, Shen Yunhe would not have revealed his strength.

The Southern Territory is now booming, his brother-in-law is powerful, and Bai Ruofeng himself is the richest man in the world.

How could those people in the court not be worried?

Second day

Bai Ruofeng also did something shocking. He gave half of his property to the national treasury, and donated the remaining half to the Sixth Academy as tuition for students.

This incident also made those people in the court no longer have any complaints.

Those students were also opposed to Nangong Moxu's ascension to the throne at first, but Nangong Moxu was not in a hurry. The emperor had passed away for several months and had not ascended the throne yet. As a result, the students who came from afar were delayed in the imperial examination.

Because there was no one who could take charge of the overall situation, the country had no monarch, and no one dared to hold the exam.

In addition, as there was still war ahead, they began to calm down and think.

They were wary of Shen Yunhe and thought that Shen Yunhe was so powerful because of Wei Shengci and the Bai family's financial resources.

Now, Shen Yunhe was working on getting An Ruyuan to fight the Southern Territory. Bai Ruofeng also donated all his wealth, which immediately left them speechless and they began to get scared.

They were afraid that Shen Yunhe would suddenly stop leading the troops to guard the border. After all, the northwest had lost the King of Libei and the Crown Prince, and the second son Cheng Chinaing was not quite capable of the job.

"What do you think? Shen Yunhe handed over the management of the three cities in the southern border to a woman. Does he intend to be a show-off?"

"That's right! His Highness Prince Sheng An has no intention of ascending the throne, and the Bai family has also donated their property. I'm afraid that not only are they disappointed, but they may also be planning to..."

"You said that the Jixia Academy was founded by the royal family, and all of their students are from aristocratic families. They opposed His Royal Highness King Sheng'an's ascension to the throne because they felt that he had no achievements and allowed the generals on the border to do whatever they wanted. But during his time as regent, His Royal Highness King Sheng'an also made many achievements, advocating equal sovereignty for men and women, and allowing every ordinary person to study."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Your Highness has taken in all the refugees who have fled from other places, and built houses for them! He has reclaimed wasteland and allowed them to be self-sufficient. He also distributes food to them every month, and does not collect taxes. He is indeed a good person, and is suitable to be the king of Beiyong."

"I also think it's appropriate. The ancestors of the Bai family were all heroes who founded the Northern Yong Kingdom. They never asked for an official position. They never bullied others by relying on their status as heroes. They also continuously sponsored many talented people to become pillars of the country."

"The Marquis of Subei has been loyal for generations. This shouldn't chill the hearts of loyal ministers like this!"

For a time, people began to support the Bai family and Shen Yunhe.

Faced with those who paraded in the streets against Nangong Moxu and those ministers who wrote letters to criticize Shen Yunhe, they all quieted down.

Those who still opposed Nangong Moxu's ascension to power were beaten back by spontaneous groups of people when they paraded through the streets to oppose him.

On just the first day, he had completely defeated the control of the Jixia Academy and those people from aristocratic families.

St. Ann's Palace

Lan Luobai came in with a memorial and saw Nangong Moxu chatting with Wei Yang while they were holding the child.

Liu Shengsheng was there too, she was looking at the child in Weiyang's arms and smiling foolishly.

Lan Luobai was so angry. Looking at the happy family, he was furious.

"Doctor Lan, why aren't you coming in yet?" At this time, Cheng Chiyue, who was following closely behind, walked to Lan Luobai's side, saw his expression, and asked from the side.

Lan Luobai saw the person coming, and Cheng Chiyue was not a outsider.

"We are the unfortunate ones who work hard without complaint! Damn Shen Yunhe actually dug such a big hole for me!"

Lan Luobai walked over angrily, and his anger was evident even in the way he walked.

"Miss Liu, why are you here in broad daylight instead of going to school?"

When Liu Shengsheng was asked, he could sense Lan Luobai's anger and was so scared that he didn't know how to answer.

"Don't scare Shengsheng, she has finished her classes and completed her studies, and will be joining the Shanggong Bureau soon."

Nangong Moxu immediately retorted with a serious expression.

After Lan Luobai took a look, he felt extremely angry. After putting down the memorial, he angrily said, "I want to resign?"

"What's wrong again?" Nangong Moxu talked to Lan Luobai while teasing the child.

Lan Luobai sat down and complained, "It's tiring enough for me to be the dean of the academy every day, and I have to run errands for you. I can't do it!"

Cheng Chi Ning walked in and echoed, "Doctor Lan seems to be tired and confused. Your Highness, please give Doctor Lan a good vacation."

Nangong Moxu raised his eyebrows and stared at Lan Luobai with a helpless look in his eyes, then complained: "There are so many people taking care of the academy now. As an official in the court, you are the parent official of the people. What's wrong with being a little tired?"

"What's wrong with being a little tired?" Lan Luobai was scolded and immediately became angry. "I was the one who followed up the refugee shelter. I was the one who let them open up wasteland and taught them to grow food. When the students protested in the streets, it was me who persuaded them! All the civil and military officials in the court wrote to impeach Shen Yunhe, and it was me, Doctor Lan, who blocked it. The civil officials and military generals quarreled fiercely, and it was me, Doctor Lan, who went out to mediate. The prime minister was so sick that he took a leave of absence, and Master Liu was old. There are only a few people who can be used now. The date of the imperial examination will not be re-selected, and the students are waiting in the imperial city. That is their day to come. For a long time, the children of poor families simply don't have the extra money to wait!"

Since the day Lan Luobai took office, he has been so tired that he can't rest and so busy that he can't stop.

"Your Highness, will you spare my life?"

Lan Luobai felt really unbalanced when he saw Nangong Moxu's leisurely appearance.

Liu Shengsheng hurriedly poured Lan Luobai a glass of water and handed it to him.

Lan Luobai immediately took the cup of water and drank it in one gulp.

"Thank you!" After thanking him, he looked at Liu Shengsheng and suddenly asked, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Kong Changjin for a long time. What has he been doing recently?"

Suddenly, when Liu Shengsheng heard the name Kong Changjin, her face turned red.

Wei Yang glanced at Liu Shengsheng. This was the delicate and shy look of a woman.

"It should be in the academy...!"

"What is "should"? Miss Liu is with him all day, how could she not know?" Lan Luo asked in plain language and then saw Liu Shengsheng's shy look. He stopped immediately, undoubtedly feeding himself a wave of dog food.

"Shengsheng was brought to the palace early in the morning. How would she know where Master Kong Changjin is?" Wei Yang immediately came to the rescue of Liu Shengsheng.

Liu Shengsheng also felt relieved.

Cheng Chiyue said from the side: "Look at the time, Master Changjin will be here to pick up Miss Liu soon!"

Nangong Moxu glanced at Cheng Chiyue and also joked, "Don't talk nonsense, my prince. Our sister Shengsheng is shy and doesn't like such jokes!"

Liu Shengsheng was so shy that she lowered her head.

"That's right, young people are different!" Lan Luobai looked at these young people and was immediately inspired.

Although Wei Yang also smiled, she still understood Liu Shengsheng's embarrassment and immediately said, "Okay! Stop making fun of Shengsheng. Seeing that you want to talk about politics, Shengsheng and I will take the children for a walk in the garden first."

Lan Luobai and Cheng Chiyue slowly nodded and watched them leave.

After they left, Lan Luobai spoke first: "The Ministry of Rites has already started preparing the clothes for the coronation. Should we ask the Imperial Master's Office to divine an auspicious day?"

Although I am angry, it is my own business after all, and I have to do it.

"Now, Beiyong really needs someone to take charge of the overall situation. Your Highness has been staying in the palace these days and has never left. Now that the people are on Your Majesty's side, it's time for you to go out and take a look at everyone, right?"

Since Cheng Chiyue came back, he has started to behave like a civil servant.

Nangong Moxu sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and did not forget to pour a cup for Cheng Chiyue.

"Please sit down!" Nangong Moxu motioned Cheng Chiyue to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" After Cheng Chiyue sat down, Nangong Moxu asked again: "How is Miss Xu's health recently?"

Cheng Chiyue replied: "Miss Xu has been resting well recently. She has recovered a lot after taking the medicine prescribed by His Highness. General Xu is on vacation and seems to be restless."

Nangong Moxu smiled softly and said, "How is King Libei's health?"

"Father has gotten much better after taking the elixir sent by my uncle." Cheng Chiyue thought of his father, who suddenly could not go to the battlefield due to a serious injury. He felt sorry for himself and sad for his father. "The second young master has indeed grown a lot recently, and he will indeed achieve something in the near future. You! Go back and enlighten King Libei and tell him not to worry too much. Now that you are the chief governor in the court and your wife is pregnant, you really need to rest well so that you can work for the court and the people." Nangong Moxu thought of Cheng Chiyue. It was a pity that such an excellent person would not have many opportunities to go to the battlefield because he had lost all his internal strength.

Cheng Chiyue smiled bitterly and responded: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will take good care of my family and will not delay daily government affairs. Please rest assured."

Nangong Moxu raised his hand and said, "I don't mean anything else. You are the foundation of the court, even though you are not on the front line. You need to be vigilant at all times when you stay behind. There are many things to worry about. Make sure you get some rest."
