At this time, it has been more than a month since Liu Feiran returned to Qicheng, since he was appointed as the Minister of Agriculture, Liu Feiran has been so busy that the sachets and handkerchiefs in Qicheng were far away from her that day.

Today is the emperor's birthday, Liu Feiran came back from the yamen to change clothes, the servants of the mansion took her horse, the housekeeper also came out from the house, said: "Miss is back, madam is waiting for you in the inner hall."

"Yes, I see." Liu Feiran smiled and nodded at the butler, then walked towards the inner hall.

Madam Liu was talking to a woman in the inner hall, when Liu Feiran came in, she respectfully saluted, "I have seen my mother."

Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, "Are you back? Are you tired?"

"It's okay." Liu Feiran stood aside, and Mrs. Liu said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mrs. Lan from the Young Mansion, and we will meet at the mansion today."

"It has always been rumored that Mrs. Liu is both talented and beautiful. He is a rare and wonderful person. Hearing a hundred times is worth seeing once. I only wish I didn't visit the door sooner, and I missed it." Madam Lan said cheerfully, looking at Liu Feiran's eyes , is full of satisfaction.But seeing Liu Feiran in official uniform, he was embarrassed to step forward and hold her hands.

"I've met Mrs. Lan, Mrs. Lan's compliment." Liu Feiran gave a junior salute.

"I'm telling the truth. Who in Qicheng doesn't know about Mr. Liu? Who doesn't know? It's just that he doesn't know who will be lucky enough to marry Mr. Liu back." Mrs. Lan revealed a signal of getting married.

Mrs. Liu smiled all of a sudden, although Liu Feiran entered the court as an official, in her eyes, she was just her own daughter, a daughter of just the right age, and the marriage was just right.

"Hey, but this daughter of mine doesn't even know how to be a female celebrity on weekdays, and I don't know who can be liked." Mrs. Liu also started to test.

Seeing that the two wives were discussing their own marriage, although Liu Feiran had no intention of getting married, it was inconvenient to refute his mother here.As an official of the imperial court, her mother has no right to force a marriage, so she is not afraid.So she bowed her hands and said goodbye, "My son will go to visit his father first. Tonight is the emperor's birthday, so my son will change his clothes and prepare first."

"Well, let's go."

Liu Feiran's father has passed away, the visit she mentioned means going to the ancestral hall to offer incense, this is what she will do every day when she returns home.This small ancestral hall enshrines his father's tablet, and Mrs. Liu cleans it every day, and no outsiders have ever set foot there.

Liu Feiran lit a candle and inserted it into the incense burner, lifted the hem of his regular clothes and knelt down on the futon.A gentle voice sounded in this small ancestral hall, "The child is amazing, I have seen my father."

Father Liu was an official to court lieutenant during his lifetime. He was diligent and caring for the people all his life, fair and selfless.Unexpectedly, the world was unpredictable, because the people on the street caught the thief, causing chaos, a child fell into the bottom of the horse in panic, and Liu's father was trampled by the horse's hoof in order to save him, but he failed to rescue him.

It has been many years since Liu Feiran felt regretful, but he still upholds Father Liu's teachings.In fact, it is nothing more than a few words, loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and kind to others.

"Although there were women in our country who served as officials in the court in the past, they were mostly idle jobs. Today, your majesty has high hopes. First, you will be given the post of water chief minister, and then you will be in charge of the water conservancy of the Huaihe River. Show your holy heart, the child must follow his father's teachings, be loyal to the king and love the country, and be a good official. Don't ask for a high official and rich salary, but only for a clean heart."

After talking with his father for a while, Liu Feiran went back to his room and changed into court clothes.The maid, Gu Yu, changed her clothes. Men's and women's court clothes are slightly different. In addition to being more self-cultivating, the color of the belt around the waist is also different. Men's is black, and women's is white.Gu Yu saw that she was wearing a scarlet official robe, and a peacock lying on a white belt accompanied by auspicious clouds, making her look more energetic and handsome than her master.

Previously in the Huai River water control, he went out early and returned late, and worked day and night, which caused Liu Feiran's complexion to become dull.At this time, after more than a month of recuperation, the skin has naturally returned to its original whiteness and smoothness. In addition to eating at home, people will follow up, and it will not be as thin as before, but it will look tall and straight.If he was dressed in white, he would definitely think that he was undoubtedly the best son of Zhuoshi.

Gu Yu showed a look of admiration, and couldn't help reaching out to touch the official uniform on her body, saying: "Miss, your official uniform is so beautiful."

Liu Feiran didn't care whether it looked good or not, now that she had finished dressing, she put on the official hat, "Recently, I saw that my mother's appetite doesn't seem to be very good, and it's the season change, tell the kitchen to be more attentive."

"Yes, ma'am."

Liu Feiran smiled slightly, and suddenly reached out to pinch Gu Yu's face, "Wait for me to come back."

A blush appeared on Gu Yu's face, and the pinched place seemed to become hot.She stomped her feet shyly. Although she was blaming, she heard it with a little joy, "Miss hates it. She is already an official, and she is still so out of tune."

Liu Feiran burst out laughing, patted Gu Yu's shoulder fondly, and then went out into the palace.

There are not many female officials who are eligible to enter the palace to attend the emperor's birthday, apart from Liu Feiran, there are only one or two, all of them are married, and at this time they all bring their husbands to the palace banquet, so there are not many who are alone.

Liu Feiran was alone, it was hard not to attract other people's attention.The court did not restrict officials from getting married, Liu Feiran was the emperor's new favorite, and she was extremely handsome, so some officials who hadn't married wives naturally surrounded her.

When Su Wang stepped into the imperial garden, he saw several young officials surrounded by Liu Feiran, it seemed that there was a man with witty remarks, which made Liu Feiran laugh.Su Wang walked towards Liu Feiran, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the adults are talking about, can I join in?"

"Lord Su." Everyone saluted one after another, and one of the thin officials, surnamed Li, looked at Su Wang slightly unkindly.Who is Su Wang?The change in the other party's expression was naturally noticed, but he was not afraid at all, and deliberately turned his head to Liu Feiran and said, "Feiran, I have something to tell you."

As soon as these words came out, Master Li's gaze became even more hostile.Liu Feiran didn't understand why, he only thought that Su Wang didn't agree with him, so he nodded and said: "Okay, everyone, Liu is rude."

Although it was regrettable, everyone nodded.Su Wang pulled Liu Feiran to the side, and said, "Lord Liu, both men and women are killed."

"Everyone is an official in the court, but what's wrong with chatting for a while?" Liu Feiran said indifferently.

"Hey, that's just what you think." Su Wang hugged his arm and sneered.

"What do you want from me?" Liu Feiran asked.

"It's okay, I just want to save you from the dire straits, so that you won't be entangled by them, right?" Su Wang smiled with squinted eyes.

Liu Feiran was about to speak, but suddenly heard someone whispered: "Prime Minister Qin has arrived."

Liu Feiran's eyes lit up, he straightened his official uniform, ignored Su Wang, and walked towards Prime Minister Qin.

"Hey, what about you?" Su Wang never had a good impression of civil servants, even the prime minister.But seeing Liu Feiran passed by, he reluctantly followed behind.

"Qin Cheng has the kindness to support and support me. He is an upright official and is deeply loved by the people. I should respect him and welcome him." Liu Feiran explained in a low voice, and walked in front of Prime Minister Qin. She was done. A big gift, "I have seen Prime Minister Qin."

"Hehe, there's no need to be too polite." Prime Minister Qin said with a smile. He was an old man with gray hair, but he was in good spirits. "Master Liu, are you safe and sound?"

"Thanks to the Prime Minister's concern, everything is fine. I heard that the Prime Minister is ill recently. I wanted to visit him, but I was afraid of disturbing the Prime Minister's meditation. I hope that the Prime Minister will be sympathetic." Liu Feiran said.

"Hehe...it's just a minor illness, nothing important. By the way, Mr. Liu has always been very good at talking with opponents. I just got a new set of chess pieces. When will I be free? Let's play with Mr. Liu?" Prime Minister Qin stroked his beard. Said.

Liu Feiran's expression became more respectful, "The next official will definitely pay a visit sometime later."

Prime Minister Qin nodded in satisfaction, ignored Liu Feiran and walked aside.

Su Wang leaned over at this moment, and said in a low voice, "Qin Cheng really likes you a lot."

Liu Feiran didn't speak, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a young eunuch walking quickly, then stood aside and screamed: "The emperor is here——"

"See Your Majesty." Everyone knelt down one after another.

The emperor was wearing a black dragon robe, with a five-clawed golden dragon hovering on his chest, majestic and solemn. He looked only in his 30s, and his face had the majesty of the emperor.At this time, he was carrying the crown prince and concubines into the imperial garden, and when he saw all the ministers saluting, he raised his voice and said, "There is no need to salute too much, everyone get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When the emperor arrived, the palace banquet began, and there was a lot of singing and dancing, which was very lively.Liu Feiran has made great achievements in water control, looks pleasing to the eye, and has five chariots of knowledge. The emperor wanted her to be Mr. Prince, so he summoned her up.He pointed to Liu Feiran, and said to the little prince who was sitting beside him: "Prince, this is Mr. Liu Feiran, Chief Minister of Agriculture."

"Xuan'er has met Lord Liu." The prince said politely, Liu Feiran did not dare to accept the gift, turned slightly sideways, and replied: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Isn't the prince very interested in water control? The water conservancy of the Huaihe River has been troubled for decades, but it was solved by Mr. Liu in two years. How about I ask Mr. Liu to tell you?" the emperor asked.

The prince's face was agitated, and he wanted to give Liu Feiran the gift of master and apprentice, but Liu Feiran dared not accept it, and quickly held up the prince's hands, "Your Highness must not do it, I am ashamed to be a humble minister."

"What is there not to dare to be? When you were as old as the prince, you were already a talented woman who was famous all over the Qijiang River. You can afford it." The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile.

Everyone knew that Liu Feiran was highly valued by the emperor, but seeing that the emperor actually made Liu Feiran the crown prince, the importance was completely different, and everyone couldn't help feeling a little jealous at this moment.

Just when everyone's attention was on Liu Feiran, suddenly the sound of arrows raining through the wind resounded in the air!Su Wang originally looked relaxed, but now his face changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "There are assassins!"

At the same time, an official screamed, but it was the sharp arrow that stabbed him.Everyone's face suddenly changed, and the guards all drew their swords, and someone shouted: "Guard!"

Liu Feiran was right in front of the emperor, and immediately protected the emperor behind him, this place is the most open, if a sharp arrow flies, there is no way to dodge, she quickly said: "Your Majesty, this place is dangerous, retreat quickly."

However, at this moment sharp arrows flew across the sky, and many guards were hit by the arrows. The situation was critical, Liu Feiran picked up a sword and held it in her hand, and she, who was always gentle and elegant, looked a bit sharp at this moment.She knocked out several sharp arrows in a row, showing that her martial arts skills are not weak.

"Retreat? There is no way to retreat." The emperor said in a cold voice with a gloomy expression.

Liu Feiran's tiger's mouth was already torn open by the shock, Su Wang finally came over, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

The emperor had a gloomy face and said nothing, he was looking around to see who would dare to usurp the throne.On the contrary, Liu Feiran breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he have time to look around, only to realize that countless rebels had poured into the Imperial Garden at some point, and they were fighting inseparably.

"Your Majesty!" The wounded King Kun rushed over with his sword in hand, he pushed Su Wang and Liu Feiran aside, and said anxiously: "Your brother is late to save you, is your majesty alright?"

Seeing his younger brother's eagerness to protect him, the emperor's expression softened a little, "I didn't..."

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

King Kun pierced the emperor's chest with a sword!
