The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

The official positions of the palace examination students were sent down, except for the top three.Wu Qiling, the second son of Wu Guogong, paid homage to Chanzhi and assisted the prime minister.To everyone's surprise, Lin Feipeng, No. 3 in the national examination, was directly promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and during his new term, Lu Gushan, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, assisted in the affairs of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Duanmu Canglan, a 20-year-old young man who came third in the national examination, actually directly promoted him to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.All the officials couldn't help discussing in private that because of the Tuoluoshan incident, the emperor no longer trusted the Ministry of Justice, so Enci appointed Lin Feipeng and pulled him out of the list of failed candidates to become the third in the national examination. The confidant was cultivated as Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

It's just that no one knows what the emperor is thinking.

Bai Lian was sitting at the place where she and Xiao Duozi met for the first time, waiting for him, thinking about it in her spare time.

In the ancient and prosperous Snow Country, not only the ruler is very young, but even the important ministers in the hands of the royal family are all young.The new prime minister Mo Ningtian is only 23 years old, and his counselor is only 19 years old.Qiu Xuan, a scholar of Zhaowendian University, was 20 years old, and General Zuo He Yin was 21 years old.Now there is another Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, 20 years old. [

Being so young, I only hope that they can accomplish something to benefit the common people.

"Princess." Xiao Duozi trotted all the way over, and handed something wrapped in brocade cloth to Bai Lian.She pinched it, and it was quite soft inside.

"The servant only asked them to cut open the bottom of the rockery. When taking things, the servant was alone. I didn't know what it was, and the servant didn't open it to look."

"Okay, thank you very much." Bai Lian said while stuffing things into his sleeves.

Xiao Duozi scratched his head at a loss: "It is the duty of a slave to serve his master."

Bai Lian smiled: "Who is your master? Your master is the emperor."

Xiao Duozi raised his head and said very seriously: "Your Majesty is of course the slave's master, but in the slave's mind, the princess will always be the master."

This kid is a very loyal person.Bai Lian laughed heartily.

Going back to Deming Hall, she chased away the servants in the house, sat at the table, and opened the brocade cloth.

Inside was one of her earrings and a piece of sheepskin.

She hurriedly unfolded the sheepskin, and there was a picture drawn on it. Below the picture were a few densely packed words, and a seal was stamped on the lower right corner. What is this stuff?

Bai Lian looked at the picture, but he couldn't understand it horizontally or vertically.Look at those handsome boys again, like a riddle.Bai Lian rubbed his forehead and kept pursing his small mouth.

What is it?Could it be that someone randomly scribbled and scribbled?But looking at the seal, it seems very arrogant. If it is written indiscriminately, how can it be stamped?

Bai Lian folded the sheepskin, wrapped it up, stuffed it into his sleeves, and left Deming Palace again.

Qiu Xuan was already at work, so he was the most suitable for this kind of matter.When he reached the gate of Zhaowen Hall, Bai Lian stopped the scholar and called someone for him, and Qiu Xuan ran out after a while.

Bai Lian looked around and pulled him to the side of the woods.Qiu Xuan raised his eyebrows, baring his teeth and jokingly said: "Princess, what are you going to do? Tell others to see it, so they think the two of us are doing something shameful."

Bai Lian gave him a blank look: "If you do something shameful, you won't be in front of your Zhaowen Hall in broad daylight."

"Then what are you hiding from?" Qiu Xuan spread his hands.

Bai Lian took out the sheepskin wrapped in brocade cloth from his sleeve: "I found it by accident, I don't know what's the secret, please help me find out."

Qiu Xuan was about to open it, but Bai Lian hurriedly stopped him: "Don't watch it here, go home and watch it secretly."

Qiu Xuan looked at Bai Li'an in surprise, and then burst out laughing: "If the concubine is the lady of some family now, I will definitely believe it because of the love letter."

"You are not serious, but don't delay my business."

Qiu Xuan looked at it, and then stuffed it into his sleeve: "Could it be that useless things were thrown away at random and asked you to pick them up?"

"Will you seal the things you want to throw away in a rockery? I think it's probably a treasure map. You're about to crack it. Sister, I'll share half of it with you."

"It's the same as the truth." Qiu Xuan laughed a few times: "It's nothing, I'll go back first, otherwise I will just cause trouble."

Bai Lian pouted: "What are you afraid of? I'll cover you if something happens."

"What?" Qiu Xuan couldn't understand, and Bai Lian drooped the corners of his eyes.Really, you can understand energy saving and emission reduction, but you can’t understand the word cover?

"It's okay, let's go back quickly."

Just as Qiu Xuan was about to leave, Bai Lian thought of something: "Master Qiu."

Qiu Xuan stopped: "Huh?"

"The national exam is over, what are the bachelors in Zhaowen Palace busy with?"

Qiu Xuan sighed: "Of course I have busy things."

What is this answer?Seeing Qiu Xuan go up the steps with pouted lips, Bai Lian laughed again.Every time I feel lucky, I met Qiu Xuan when I came to this world.

The Hall of Zhaowen is a gathering place of talented people from all over the world. The initiator and leader of all cultural industries in Snow Country shoulders a heavy responsibility.The day after Bai Lian handed over the sheepskin to Qiuxuan, a major incident happened in Zhaowen Palace.

Six high-ranking bachelors from Zhaowen Palace were caught by the guards for misconduct, and they were handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for quick conviction. They were interrogated and executed two days later together with the former minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

When Bai Lian heard this, he was the same as Concubine De, and he didn't make a fuss like everyone else.Duanmu Canglan pretended that nothing happened, but how could he tolerate making a name for himself in his first imperial examination?Those six people probably took bribes.

The day of execution was about to come, Bai Lian went to Ningxian Hall.It has been more than a month since Lord Han was arrested, but Concubine Ning looks like she hasn't eaten for a year, she is terribly thin, with sunken eye sockets.

"Yesterday my brother wanted to come and see me, but His Majesty forbade me. My brother only asked someone to send me a letter, saying that he would go to collect my father's body on the day my father was executed, and told me not to be too sad."

Baili listened quietly to Concubine Ning, she knew she needed to talk now: "Brother can't say too much in the letter, but I know he never believed that father would commit such a crime. But he can't do anything , the emperor is lucky that he did not implicate the Nine Clans, I know he is not worried about himself, he is afraid that I will be wronged."

Concubine Ning said brokenly, the woman who was ethereal like a fairy in the past became neither human nor ghost in just one month.

Concubine Ning's elder brother is also a bachelor of Zhaowen Palace.Concubine Ning's elder brother must also have lingering fears about Duanmu Canglan's sword against His Royal Highness Zhaowen this time.Is he thinking of his sister, or is it for self-protection? [

What Bailian wanted to see more was the latter.

Because of giving the mysterious sheepskin to Qiu Xuan, Bai Lian must go around the palace every day, thinking that Qiu Xuan has some clues to contact her.

About three days later, Qiu Xuan appeared in front of her.He nodded to her from a distance, and then walked towards a dense forest.Bai Lian knew that he had found out something, so after he entered the dense forest, he also hurried in.
