Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

"...Encourage the backward, and the special Zuoqian will be given to Shizhong for the six subjects, and it will be bestowed by the emperor."

Under the admiring eyes of everyone in the ceremony, Qing Ping knelt down to receive the imperial edict, quite puzzled.

The Sixth Division is a supervisory organization independent of the Sixth Ministry. Although this official position is only from the seventh rank, it has great power to act.Responsible for admonitions, assisting the emperor in handling memorials, inspecting the affairs of the six ministries, acting as an examiner in the scientific examination, as an examiner in the palace examination, and even the imperial family canonization of the six subjects to the affairs.The so-called "every major event is discussed by the court, the ministers are pushed by the court, and the court of the big prison is pre-planned by the six palms", it can be seen that this group of chiefs is only the seven-rank admonisher, who has a heavy responsibility and a wide range of power.

Qingping was a little sluggish for a while, until the official who announced the decree said with a smile: "Master Li, get up quickly, you can receive the new court uniform." Lark pattern, official uniform with blue ribbon, but no jade belt.This is a set of clothing that symbolizes the seventh-rank officer. It is different from other departments because of the skylark pattern on the robe. Birds are all over the world. It can be said that there is no place without birds, and the skylark is the best. It means to monitor the birds and understand the meaning of listening to heaven.

It was the first time for Qingping to receive an official uniform with ornamentation, and he was a little delicate in his heart. Looking at the government and the public, from the empress to the micro, they were all classified according to the ornamentation, but most of the ornamentation were birds, wouldn't it be full? Chao civil and military, full of a group of 'bird people'?

Of course, she only dared to complain about this in her heart, and when she took the tray from the official who delivered the decree, her colleagues around her came to congratulate her.

I thought this persimmon-like clerk would hold back, but who knew that Qingping frowned and said bluntly: "The promotion and transfer are all determined by His Majesty, and the emperor's grace is great. I don't know what this lord means? Dissatisfied with His Majesty's arrangement? Do you still have doubts about the performance evaluation of the Ministry of Officials? Could it be..." She sneered coldly, her eyes sharp, "I am not convinced by the judgment of the servant?"

That person never expected that this persimmon turned into a hedgehog, embarrassed and resentful, thinking that he would have to avenge his humiliation today when he was promoted.It's a pity that the affairs of the six subjects are not under the jurisdiction of any department, only the cabinet has the right to intervene. Everyone's eyes are subtle. Which cabinet elder did this good man fall in love with?

Wang Shizhong went to the Ministry of Rites for a meeting, and Qingping bid farewell to his former colleagues and returned home with his things.She is now living in the Yan family's courtyard, which is a bit cold to live alone. There is a huge sycamore tree in the courtyard, and the green and tender leaves rustle in the sunlight.

After Yan Jinghan left, she also gradually understood a truth, if you are not strong, others will naturally come to bully you.Sometimes it is necessary to properly expose some edges and corners to let others know that this is not a soft persimmon.

Qingping had kept a low profile before just because her status had not been confirmed, not that she had no joys, loves and dislikes, but now that the transfer was issued, she was directly transferred out of the jurisdiction of the six ministries, there is no reason to swallow her anger and be a soft persimmon.

But it's not all for this reason.

She sat under the sycamore tree in the courtyard and read the letter again, thinking of the conversation she had with Yan Jinghan that night. She has been a human being in two lives, doesn't she have any ambitions or ideas in her heart?

Qing Ping has also gradually realized this point. If she was a slave in the past and was under the control of manpower, she had no choice but to retreat and hide.But now she has no father, no mother, no family, no possessions, only herself.In the officialdom, most people dare not let go of their hands and feet because of various fetters, but she has none of these.

On the road four years ago, she saw this great river and mountain, magnificent mountains and rivers, just like everything has two sides, and the opposite of this beauty is the inaction of the ministers of the court, the emperor practiced Taoism and avoided the world, and the loyal and virtuous people were slaughtered , the bluntly admonishing people were slaughtered, resulting in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one dared to speak out, and dared to refute the chief assistant Yan Minghua.His Majesty Kuang did not appoint a concubine for a long time, which caused the two factions in the court to fight against each other, and the officials ignored the sufferings of the common people, disregarded their own responsibilities and wantonly corrupted...

The night before Yan Jinghan left, they talked in the study and stayed up all night.

Yan Jinghan looked resolute, and said: "This time I go to Cangwu County, I must do something for the people."

Qingping said softly: "But the governor of Cangwu County is a member of Yan Shoufu's faction..."

Yan Jinghan glanced at her, slightly disappointed, and said: "Qingping, what are you taking the exam for?"

Qingping stared at the flickering candles in the night wind, she suddenly didn't want to hide her thoughts anymore, said: "It's to live a better life with dignity and not be trampled on at will."

Yan Jinghan said: "What does it mean to live with dignity?"

Qingping said calmly: "My strength can protect the friends around me, and I can do some things within my scope, that's enough."

Yan Jinghan said in a deep voice: "Then you have to sink in the mud for the rest of your life? Can't make a sound of your own? Are you willing?"

Qing Ping silently closed his eyes and studied hard till now, who would be willing?

She pointed out: "Situation is stronger than people."

Yan Jinghan was silent, and it took a while before he said tiredly: "You don't know, the place where I went to study is in Yunzhou. You must not have imagined what Yunzhou is like now."

Qing Ping said: "Didn't the imperial court send heavy troops to guard it?"

Yan Jing said coldly: "What heavy soldiers? Just those disabled veterans? When they saw Xi Rong coming, they retreated and left the people in the border villages alone. After Xi Rong came to loot them all, they went to kill the villagers and handed over their heads in exchange for Rewarding silver? The Ministry of War can also get a good report, and your majesty can practice Taoism with peace of mind?"

"Every official has a reward, but those innocent people whose heads were taken by their own officers and soldiers, I don't know if they can rest in peace!"

Qingping's heart was shocked, and he asked softly: "Isn't anyone revealing it?"

"Expose?" Yan Jinghan shook his head, "How to expose? The Ministry of War would like to have more copies of this kind of good news! Wherever the whistleblower comes from, they will be detained. Do you think this person can still live?"

Qingping didn't speak, and suddenly remembered the story of Quanzhou County's tenacious struggle against the invaders that he heard in Le'an Tower that day. Compared with what Yan Jinghan said at this time, how many years have passed, and the morale of the army back then was comparable to that of the invaders. Is the blood gone?

She suddenly understood why Chu Jun wanted to see the dilapidated tower.

Yan Jinghan took a breath, obviously a little excited and said: "Qingping, you are a smart person, but being smart doesn't mean you shy away from things and protect yourself wisely. If there are such people in this court, then what else is there in our country?" Hope, we have studied hard for decades, what is it for?"

Qingping raised her eyes slightly, staring at Yan Jinghan's collar that was disheveled by her impassioned speech, she turned her head to look out the window at the deep night, there was no wind and no moon tonight, but she didn't know if everyone could live in this place shrouded in night. Have a tile to cover your body, and have a sweet dream in the broken and dark world?

Yan Jinghan seemed to be asking her, but also seemed to be asking himself.

Qingping clasped his hands together, leaned close to his eyebrows and said: "Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations."

Her voice was a bit abrupt, but Yan Jinghan's eyes filled with an uncontrollable surprise, she opened her mouth a few times, but couldn't say anything.Qing Ping patted her hand, indicating that she already understood her mind.

Qingping put the letter away, and the letter left by Yan Jinghan mentioned a very strange organization called "Bahuang".

300 years ago, the six prefectures of the Dai Kingdom fell, and the Xirong and Qianhui tribes all reached Hezhou, only one step away from Chang'an.At the time when the country was in crisis, eight families emerged from the six states. With their prestige, they called on the great families to join in serving the country, pouring out all their wealth, and with meager efforts, they saved the ruined building and saved the people from the fire.

The names of these eight families are no longer testable, and the history books are just a simple stroke, praising them as loyal people, that's all.

But after that national calamity, these eight families formed an organization called 'Bahuang'. These eight families shared their allegiance to the Patriarch, although no one knew who the Patriarch was.This organization hides and hibernates in peaceful years, and looks like an ordinary family; when turmoil is about to break out, it will secretly cultivate loyal people to serve the country.

However, based on this simple description and analysis by Qingping, Bahuang should be an organization of mutual assistance and mutual benefit. It made great contributions to the national crisis 300 years ago, but it was not recognized by the court, so he simply established an underground organization by himself. Choose the right leader for you.

To say that the relationship between Bahuang and the country should be closely interdependent. After all, they came from the national crisis, and they should understand what it means to talk about family without a country.Only when the country prospers and prospers can the Eight Desolations be strong along with it.

Lie flat and put the letter away.Yan Jinghan actually got in touch with the forces of Bahuang after her visit. As she said in her letter, the organization of Bahuang is absorbing and training a group of capable officials to provide convenience for their posts... .But, is there really such a good thing in this world?She never thought that any person or organization would treat you unconditionally, just for the dry saying of patriotism.

What could be the reason?

Profit is the most important thing. If there is no profit to be found, why bother to do these things?

Of course it is impossible.This silent organization that has been in the opposition for many years suddenly appeared so lively. When the situation in the government and the opposition was chaotic, they were able to analyze the situation sharply, recruit officials in an orderly manner, and follow the arranged path, unless it was...

Qingping squeezed the letter, compared with Yan Jinghan's joy, her heart was more heavy and restless.

Unless Bahuang already has a very big card, this card becomes the key to their invincibility, and it is a favorable supporter that drives them to rise from the darkness.

Qingping's heart jumped, after all, is there anything more tempting than imperial power in this world?

Rao Run walked into Professor Shen's house with a few boxes of snacks. At this time, Shen Lin was not there. She was sitting at the table, watching Professor Shen struggling to get up on the kang, and hurried to help her.

Professor Shen waved his hand and said, "No need, I will do it myself."

Rao Run had no choice but to watch her leaning on a backrest, and then Professor Shen said, "Isn't it Xiumu today? You don't come here to see me, do you?"

Rao Run took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to her, and said in a low voice, "Master Hanshu, please have a look, this is what my aunt asked me to hand over to you."

Professor Shen tore open the envelope, took a look at the letter paper with two fingers, and said: "So it's like this... I have submitted the new candidate for the post of Hanshu to the Patriarch for review, and she approved the note before I notified everyone Patriarch's."

He took out a thin piece of paper from the hidden compartment next to the pillow, and Rao Run took it. Looking at the seal on it, he knew it was not a fake.

She was puzzled: "My aunt just doesn't understand why the people selected this time are kept secret?"

Professor Shen said: "I'm sorry I can't say, but the Patriarch has an order, and...whether this person is willing to join us is still unknown."

Rao Run wondered: "Who is this person? It's impossible that you haven't even heard of Ba Huang's name, right?"

Professor Shen coughed twice with a smile: "Don't tell me, she really might not know."

Rao Run didn't like to talk in circles. She just found the doorway here very annoying. She came here this time to ask questions on behalf of her aunt, and she didn't have anything else to say.

Professor Shen asked his servants to bring tea, and said to Rao Run: "Patriarch Rao is the most prudent, it is indeed that I did not do it properly."

Rao Run hurriedly said: "No, Master Hanshu is too modest."

Professor Shen said leisurely: "But I dare not disobey Patriarch's orders, so even if you ask me, I can't say anything."

Rao Run's heart suddenly moved. Thinking of meeting the Patriarch in Meilin that day, he was suddenly full of curiosity about the Patriarch who had never met before. She said: "Master Hanshu, do you know about the Patriarch? She is in Beijing right now. I met her a while ago."

Professor Shen said: "The matter of the Patriarch? Do you want the old man to say something in the book?"

Rao Run was often teased by her like this, and he didn't feel embarrassed. He said straightforwardly: "I haven't seen this before. I just heard people in the clan say how powerful the Patriarch is. I'm still studying at the clan school, and I got it from the old Patriarch of Hezhou." Got the Eight Desolation Token!"

Professor Shen narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "That's right. The Patriarch was young and promising, and he was recognized by the old Patriarch before he was a weak crown. At that time, I was still teaching scriptures in the official school. A child was the first to vote against it."

Rao Run was very curious, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he leaned over and sat next to Professor Shen, causing Professor Shen to point at her and scold with a smile: "Your inquisitive temper still hasn't changed, thanks to your aunt who is still with me." If you say something more prudent, I think it's all just pretending!"

Rao Run sat upright at the moment, and said seriously: "Tell me quickly, I can't wait to die!"

Professor Shen was quite helpless towards her. Fortunately, she was not a child of her own family. Otherwise, she really wanted to kneel in the ancestral hall to calm down her temper. She said: "It's just that the old Patriarch insisted. I don't know what stubbornness she committed at that time. Everyone When she is in a daze, even though the world is in decline, it doesn't mean that she can't even find a person in charge, so what's the point of rushing to find a child to fill up the bill?"

Seeing that she was listening seriously, Professor Shen also wanted to show these younger generations how powerful the patriarch is, so he beat them and said, "At that time, something happened, the head of the Fan family in the Eight Wastes surrendered to the eldest princess. Well, this patriarch yearns for glory and wealth, and he doesn't want to live a life of innocence and asceticism with his peers, so he simply sold Bahuang to the ground, and vowed to bring the whole Bahuang to submit to Yan Shoufu's faction... ..." She glanced at Rao Run, who was absorbed in listening, and said: "You have been in Chang'an for a while, which one do you think is better, the first imperial concubine or the second imperial concubine?"

Rao Runsi said: "Speaking of reputation, the second emperor's daughter sounds better."

Professor Shen chuckled and said, "How do those who fight for fame know that they will not be defeated by fame one day? Are those who value reputation too much necessarily good?"

Rao Run shut his mouth, and simply listened to the adult tell the story.Professor Shen saw that she became more obedient, and said: "Ba Huang has maintained a neutral attitude for a long time. Patriarch Fan is going to drag everyone into the fire pit! The old Patriarch is helpless, and the wooden sign will be handed over to the new Patriarch. This The new Patriarch first quietly intercepted the surrendering Patriarch Fan, and brought her and her family back to Hezhou to wait for disposal. But after the people from the Great Empress's faction found out about this, they naturally sent people to investigate and prepare for revenge. The imperial court sued Zhang Wei, the shepherd of Hengzhou, listed dozens of her crimes, and posted them outside Shuntian Mansion, and finally the accuser was bumped to death in front of the mansion’s yamen, and His Majesty went out of the customs to inquire.”

"Zhang Wei is a fierce general under Yan Ge's subordinates. Wherever she goes, she can search for two floors of three feet of land, which shows her profound skills... But Yan Ge is naturally confident. , She has countless corrupt officials, and every year the censor has to write a report several times, is it useful?" Professor Shen said with a smile: "But this time is different, Zhang Wei actually repaired the house as magnificent as a palace in order to please his boss Majestic, His Majesty climbed up and looked far away after leaving the customs, and saw this mansion at a glance, but day and night, the dignified and first-rank officials were sent to prison, the court was shocked, His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation, and followed this line Going down the line, I found out that southern merchants bribed officials, mixed defective products with tributes, and sent them to Chang'an Palace. Why don't you get angry, Your Majesty?"

Rao Run had heard about this incident, she murmured: "The Fan family was originally among the group of merchants that were dealt with later, so how did she get saved?"

Professor Shen said meaningfully: "This is naturally the method of the Patriarch."

This kind of situation of killing many birds with one stone is not common, and it is definitely not something that can be done by luck. From another angle, it also shocked the other patriarchs in the Eight Desolation.This move not only taught the Fan family a lesson, but also established himself as a leader.Rao Run was a little timid, feeling that the head of the family was simply a habitual offender who walked on a tightrope, avoiding danger with ease, and finally stood with his hands hidden, hiding his merit and fame.

She felt in a daze that she had heard an unbelievable story, even more bizarre and absurd than a storyteller. Professor Shen saw her shocked look, thought about it, and still didn't tell the result of the Shao family being forced to confess by the seminary. ...She held the tea and blew on the hot air gently. Last year, out of nowhere, His Majesty ordered to ban the investigation of the temple in Chenzhou, saying that it was a heretical monster's theory, which hindered practice, and he didn't know Chenzhou Hengzhou is hundreds of thousands of miles away, what kind of hindrance does it mean?But the Shao family naturally has no worries, and the temple is banned, so they don't have to be blackmailed in disguise every year.

Professor Shen was full of disappointment. The Patriarch was young, and he never missed a step in his actions. He seemed stable, but it was always frightening.This kind of overturning means played with people's feelings and feelings in the applause. Professor Shen sighed, thinking that he should ask Li Qingping to come over and ask about this matter, but the head of the family said that she doesn't need to ask about this matter anymore, and she will go in person examine this person.

I just don't know what kind of investigation method it is?

Qing Ping wrote the last stroke on the memorial blankly, then turned to ask the person behind him: "Master Qin, what's the matter?"

Qin Siwei frowned, and said in a strong tone: "Master Li, I just told you to withdraw the memorial related to Zhao Shangshu, didn't you hear?"

Qingping glanced at her indifferently. The other party was wearing an official uniform decorated with crimson crested ibises from the fifth rank, with a forbearing expression on his face and stiff body language, telling himself how condescending this household member from the fifth rank was to come to be with him Talk face to face.

She said indifferently: "Your Excellency is working in the household department, it seems that you can't control the affairs of the sixth department?"

Qin Siwei chuckled mockingly, and didn't pay attention to this newcomer from the seventh rank.That's right, it's become a habit for her to rely on Yan Shoufu's power to domineering and domineering. How could she have thought that she would stumble in a small incident, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you want to withdraw or not!"

"You mean the impeachment memorial?" Li Qingping suddenly realized, "It has already been submitted to the cabinet."

"Hmph! Remember it!" Qin Siwei flicked his sleeves vigorously, and left angrily.

Qingping calmly continued to write the next memorial.It's also very interesting to say, because the matter is to admonish the officials, who are responsible for speaking ill of the officials, otherwise it will be deemed that they have not fulfilled their duties.Her name has already been promoted by Zhong Yuan in the sixth department. Everyone knows that this newly appointed admonisher is selfless, and everyone dares to participate in one book.

Qing Ping wanted to answer this question, thinking that Yan Jinghan was the one who participated in people everywhere. She herself is a peaceful person and never likes to cause trouble.

But when she took office on the first day, she handed in a memorial, and her superior looked at it carefully, ah, it was really courageous, the memorial actually wrote all kinds of violations of Zhao Shangshu of the household department, although these circumstances It is common among senior officials, but I haven't seen anyone who would give advice!Everyone said, this new colleague must belong to the sect of Master Cifu Shen Yueshan.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Master Cifu received a letter to sue his own officials, which was very rare. Everyone thought that Master Li was from Cifu, but they didn't expect that she would sue her own people.

However, the cabinet can’t do anything other than withhold these memorials, so during the time that Li Zhizhong took office, the cabinet’s office was filled with similar memorials. Take care of your people.But this Mr. Ji is also famous for not recognizing his relatives. After standing between the two factions for many years, he still keeps his own way and does his own way. She only said one sentence to Qingping: "You write yours, and don't pay attention to what other people say."

Qingping would be more respectful than obedient, but what she wrote were all insignificant and trivial matters, and she didn't look into the depths. It really couldn't shake this group of adults who walked in groups with corpses and vegetarian meals, but it was just a clear statement. It's just her own position. She, Li Qingping, neither belongs to the strict party nor the Shen party, she is completely a centrist.

Mrs. Li, who pursues neutrality, is quite commendable. Without him, first of all, she does not recognize people, but only recognizes things.As an admonisher, he can disregard the other party's rank and admonish together, which is fair and just.The Sixth Division used its transcendent status to monitor the officials, but under the pressure of the two parties, everyone only wanted to protect themselves and dared not easily offend those adults.But as an admonisher, who doesn't want to make an admonition according to the law and find fault happily?It was just that he was worried that losing the black gauze hat on his head would hurt the whole family.

But Qingping didn't have this worry at all. She fed the whole family by herself and didn't feel hungry.It's this attitude of not giving in to oil and salt that made the officials who were admonished by her gnash their teeth. Of course, there is a set of rules for officialdom trust, that is, someone should politely say thank you when admonishing, thank you for pointing out my mistake, I Will definitely improve in the future!This is called kindness, and it is the thing that best reflects a person's self-cultivation and learning.

After three or four months of working in the sixth department, Qingping is very calm. Her reputation has been spread all over the world. Some people say she is confused and others say that she can only be a seventh-rank teacher in her life. Well, regarding this point, her boss Master Ji told her this: "Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and the world is arbitrary."

Conversations between smart people and smart people can often be easily done with just one sentence.Just as Lord Ji said, Qingping really wanted to follow a path, and that was to be a pure minister.

What is pure minister?When you don't want to get caught up in the struggle between the two forces, you can only find the biggest boss as your backer. This is the safest choice.Sure enough, when the mid-year evaluation was held, His Majesty also left the customs. The first thing she did was to inspect the cabinet and check the memorial.

After returning from offering sacrifices to heaven, the Empress said that she had gained some enlightenment. She came out after three or four months of retreat, her complexion even paler. She stood in the office where the memorials were placed in the cabinet, randomly picked up a few books and read them, then threw them aside.

The empress was dressed in Taoist robes, she did not look like a human emperor at all: "There is nothing important recently?"

Everyone in the cabinet saluted, Yan Minghua stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been retreating and praying for blessings for the past few months. It must be that God has sensed something, and there is nothing serious about it recently." , has long practiced the peerless magical skills, flattering invisibly.

The queen's brows relaxed when she heard it, she was obviously very satisfied, she nodded and said: "It's fine, I entrust the cabinet to you, and I also entrust the affairs of the world to you - what is this?"

She pointed to a pile of memorials piled up in the corner, and took a look. It turned out that it was Zhou Zhang, who was admonished by the Sixth Division. The empress smiled and said, "So many memorials for the sixth division?" Yan Minghua said badly in his heart, the empress took another copy, glanced at it, without a smile on her face, and said, "Old Yan Ge, your man."

Yan Minghua took it calmly, but who knew that the Empress took another copy, looked at Shen Cifu playfully, and said, "Yueshan, you have it too."

Shen Yueshan saluted and said: "No one is perfect, so it is natural to be kind to other people's suggestions in order to make progress."

The Empress handed the memorial to her and said, "Well said."

Then she stretched out her hand to draw the memorials, several of them in a row, and put them in the hands of the two cabinet ministers after reading them. Suddenly, she noticed a problem. These dozens of memorials had similar fonts, and they were obviously written by one person. Taking a closer look, There is a line of petite characters on the top of the line, "Li Qingping pays homage to Li Qingping in the sixth department".

The Empress then said to the palace servants who were serving her: "Bring them all out for me to see what this Li Ge wrote in the matter."

The palace servants cleaned the dust and moved the memorial to the table. The empress took a look at one and said with a smile, "Shangshu Zhao has acquired such a hobby? Why don't I go to retreat for a few months, and they look down one by two Does it make sense?"

This memorial uses serious and rigid language to describe a series of small mistakes made by the ministers. It is very interesting to take a look at it. The empress is used to like the behavior of the people below who explain everything clearly and let her decide by herself in the end. Finally, he said to Shen Yueshan: "This Li Ge is not bad in his work, he has fulfilled his duties. Is he a concubine who entered the year before last?"

Shen Yueshan said: "Your Majesty knows clearly, I'm already old, and I don't even remember the good people from the year before last." Not only Yan Shoufu can flatter, but the noble Shen Cifu can also keep up.

The empress felt even better because of her invisible compliment, and said: "Cultivation has helped a lot, and the two Qing families should give it a try when they go back."

The two important ministers bowed and saluted, and responded in unison.But in my heart, I am very disgusted with the empress's behavior of talking about cultivation at every turn. If everyone goes to practice immortality and alchemy, who will take care of the country?

But the Empress didn't think so, she took advantage of her good mood when she just got out of customs, and said: "This Li Qingping is so dedicated to his duty, let her be a deacon to offer wine, and go to see the officials and students."

This is actually a promotion in disguise, but for the two elders, they wish that this person would be farther away from the affairs of the Sixth Division, so he could be promoted if he was promoted. Anyway, the deacon offering wine is an official position of the Ministry of Rites, and the political function he can play is very small of.

Not long after the order was transferred, Qingping changed into another official uniform. This time, because he was going to the government school to take up the post of deacon offering sacrifices, he was in charge of etiquette and enlightenment. Chic.

She didn't know the way of government school, so she went to Professor Shen's house for advice.

But unexpectedly, Professor Shen and Shen Lin went out for an outing, so she had to return without success. When she was leaving the alley, a carriage happened to pass by her. Before Qingping could see the road clearly, she was dragged into the carriage.

She coughed for a while in the carriage, took the teacup with one hand, waved her hand and said, "No need."

Chu Jun saw that she didn't want it, so he drank it by himself, Qingping felt that the way she invited people was too special, and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness is a person of status, so you don't have to kidnap people so casually when you invite someone to ask questions, right? "

Chu Jun said: "Then please go to your house?"

It means friend, you are not qualified yet.

Qingping said in a very bachelor way: "I don't care, anyway, His Highness is ashamed."

Chu Jun's hand holding the cup paused, looked at Qingping with a strange look, and said, "You just stayed in the sixth department for a few months, why did you grow thorns?"

His Royal Highness Xin Wang knows everything, Qing Ping has long accepted her omnipotent setting, leaning in the car and said: "Be a persimmon that everyone loves, whoever wants to pinch it?"

Chu Jun nodded, and said appreciatively, "Yes, you won't be a persimmon anymore, are you a hedgehog now?"

Qingping leaned against Xiaoji and thought for a while before answering: "It's a hedgehog that doesn't prick people very much."

Chu Jun laughed loudly and said, "Aren't you considered a prickly person? You've almost finished participating with all the court ministers!"

She knew that Qingping didn't think there was anything strange about it, and said, "Really, so what? I'm not fine yet."

Chu Jun took a deep look at her, Qingping raised his head with one hand, and turned his head to look at her. The luxurious and dignified His Royal Highness Xinwang is impeccable in appearance, and it is impossible to describe it with all the beautiful words. Exaggerated, but they have been together for a long time, Qingping is still somewhat immune to her beauty, she asked: "Your Highness, do you have anything to do with me?"

Chu Jun said lightly: "I can't find you if I have nothing to do?"

Saying it is the same as not saying it, Qingping felt that she and she were never on the same channel, so she said: "Can you drop by, and take me home by the way."

She didn't even have an honorific name when she spoke, Chu Jun smiled slightly, but found it very interesting.Qingping sat upright to see her and asked, "Is drinking tea interesting?"

Chu Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Then do you dare to drink?"

Qingping felt frustrated for the first time. Drinking is indeed her weakness. She curled her lips and said, "I will drink more in the future."

Chu Jun snorted, glanced at her, holding the teacup and felt a little more at ease. Hearing that Qingping almost offended Manchao, His Royal Highness Xin Wang who was praying for blessings accidentally inserted the incense crookedly.

She felt an inexplicable worry, as if there was a void in her heart, which was an experience she had never experienced before.

Qingping didn't know what she was thinking, so he sat there for a while, then heard Chu Jun say: "You avoid the two parties, do you want to be a centrist? Don't be thankless, and lose your position in the end."

Qingping returned to God and said: "I have been promoted, and now I am the deacon Jijiu."

Chu Jun shook his head with a smile, and said, "I thought you would lose your job, but I prepared a way out for you?"

Qingping asked in confusion: "What is the way out?"

Chu Jun said leisurely: "The same road as four years ago."

Qingping blurted out: "You want me to be a maid again?"

Chu Jun took a sip of tea and almost spit it out. She pressed the cup heavily on the table and said, "Li Qingping, are you trying to annoy me on purpose?"

Qingping glanced at her helplessly, and said in a tolerant and condescending tone: "Well, I misunderstood His Highness's painstaking efforts. I wonder what path His Highness has prepared?"

Chu Jun laughed and said: "You have no sincerity, why should I say it."

Qingping didn't really want to know, she said: "Your Highness is always right, but sometimes, what you think is right may not be right in the eyes of others."

Chu Jun tightly held the teacup, and said softly, "Then what do you think is right?"

Qingping thought for a while, and thought it would be better to say it tactfully: "I think what I'm doing now is right."

She meant something: "Your Highness is a person who wants to do great things. I am just a petty official with no skills. I am honored to be loved by Your Highness, and I am fortunate to make friends with you. But what Your Highness wants to do, who paves the way for me, has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to know or I don’t want to know.”

The smile on Chu Jun's face gradually faded, he raised his chin to look at her and said, "What do you mean, please explain clearly."

Qingping said flatly: "Naturally, everyone is not on the same path. From now on, everyone will go their own way. I don't need to go to great lengths to buy you, Your Highness. Don't worry, I, Li Qingping, am still a person who keeps my promises. Just forget it all and no one will know."

Chu Jun couldn't deny it and said, "Forgot?"

It was the first time that Qingping felt that she could express her thoughts so clearly in front of her. Since she had said it, she had to say it clearly, and offended people had to be offended at once. She said: "Yes, no one will be able to pry it out of my mouth in the future. Just half a word, please rest assured, Your Highness."

Chu Jun's dark eyes contained some extremely complicated emotions, she tapped the table lightly, and said, "Are you trying to draw a line with me?"

Qingping nodded straightforwardly: "Yes, that's it."

Chu Jun asked, "Why?"

Why?Because you make me feel threatened.Qingping only said: "Your Highness wants to take Qingyun Road, and I want to take the small wooden bridge."

She doesn't like this feeling of being controlled by others, that kind of visitation that follows like a shadow, Chu Jun's dark eyes are everywhere in her dreams, and there is an emotion she can't explain in those eyes, which makes her instinctively I feel that if it gets on it, it won't come off.

Then, you must stay away.

Chu Jun sneered and said, "Qingping, you used to say you wanted to repay your kindness."

Qing Ping solemnly said: "From now on, whenever His Highness needs me, he will definitely go through fire and water, and will not hesitate to do so."

Seeing her resolute look, Chu Jun felt a little gnashing his teeth, wanted to bring her over and beat her up, and endured it, he said, "I understand."

When Qingping heard her say these three words, she immediately felt a sense of relief. She couldn't hold back her joy, and cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me. You don't have to take me to the door, just get off here."

Chu Jun suddenly stopped being angry. It turned out that this person was different from Liu Zhen from the beginning, and the way she treated her was also different from Liu Zhen. Coercion was useless to her, and threats were useless to her. Chu Jun said: "You really don't regret it?"

Qingping shook his head with a smile, why do some people always think that they are right and others must be wrong and stupid?She said: "Your Highness, this is the second time I have answered you, and I will never regret it."

She turned to leave, but Chu Jun grabbed her wrist, the man's eyes were filled with darkness, their eyes met, Qingping heard her say: "Very good, this is very good."

Her hand holding Qingping hurts a little, and Qingping is inexplicably a little scared, this kind of fear is not because of fear, but because of something else.

She was palpitating, she threw off Chu Jun's hand and jumped off the carriage.

Chu Jun closed his eyes in the car and said, "Very good."

She murmured: "Li Qingping, but I regret it."
