Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 710 Flattering is second, no one dares to call it first
Qing Luo glanced over and saw Her Majesty the Empress in red robe sitting on top of the imperial study, and next to her was the charming Shangguan Prime Minister.

There are five or six ministers standing below.

Seeing Lin Jinyu and Qingluo, the smile on His Majesty's face disappeared immediately, and he snorted: "Liu Qingluo, have you come in?"

Qingluo lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, as a gesture of respect.

"Your Majesty, I was the one who brought her in." Lin Jinyu said calmly, "It's snowing outside, Master Liu is not feeling well, I'm afraid he will freeze."

Qing Luo suddenly looked up at him.

How did he know he was not feeling well?
It should be just an excuse...

Coincidence, definitely a coincidence.

Qing Luo hypnotized herself, and when she believed it completely, she bowed her head and continued to show respect.

"Oh?" His Majesty raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with Liu Aiqing?"

Seeing that Lin Jinyu was about to speak again, Qingluo hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, I just got a little bit of cold accidentally, it's not a serious problem."

Lin Jinyu glanced sideways at her, but said nothing.

"Really," the empress looked at her carefully, "Ai Qing is a descendant of a genius doctor, and she can make herself sick?"

Qingluo laughed dryly: "Hehe, I'm from the south, I didn't expect the capital to be so cold..."

"Oh, you think Kyoto is cold?"

His majesty's words were neither yin nor yang, which made goose bumps stand on the backs of several ministers.

Based on their experience, His Majesty, this is a sign of anger!
I don't know where Master Liu has provoked His Majesty...

What should I do, should I hide for a while, so as not to hurt the fish in the pond?

Several ministers communicated silently with their eyes...

Her Majesty the Empress had a panoramic view of their expressions from above, feeling annoyed in her heart, "You guys get out!"

"According to the order!"

Several ministers were overjoyed at being scolded, and ran away in a swarm without stopping.

In an instant, only His Majesty, Shangguan Juner, Lin Jinyu and Qingluo were left in the hall.

As for the inner eunuchs serving around, they can basically be ignored in the palace.

Working here, if the mouth is not strict, he would have died [-] times.

The hall was so quiet that the breathing of a few people could almost be heard.

Seeing all the ministers leave, Qing Luo suddenly remembered that she still had some questions to answer, and hurriedly said: "Return to Your Majesty, I feel that the capital is cold."

The empress looked majestic, and said coldly: "Could it be that the weather was so cold when I delivered the decree to you?"

This is to hold her accountable for being late.

Qingluo immediately expressed panic: "When will Your Majesty deliver the decree to the humble minister? The minister has never received it!"

"Presumptuous!" His Majesty was annoyed, "Liu Qingluo, how dare you bully the Lord!"

"I don't dare!" Qingluo felt wronged, "I only received one letter from His Majesty, and there was no imperial decree in the letter... Could it be that it was lost on the way?"

The Empress, Lin Jinyu, and Shangguan Jun'er: "..."

Who dares to lose His Majesty's papers?

That's the official channel to go!
The queen lost her temper with her, so she could only explain: "I mean that letter."

Qingluo was filled with righteous indignation: "Oh, so that's the case! I'm still thinking, which goddamn bastard is he who is so bold and careless in doing things, he deserves to be dragged and beheaded!"

The queen sneered: "Hehe, is there anyone more daring than you, Liu Qingluo?"

"Your Majesty is absurd." Qingluo said modestly.

"Who praised you!" The queen said angrily, "I asked you to arrive within three days, how long has it been? Are you taking my words as a deaf ear?!"

"I don't dare!" Qing Luo hastily defended, "As soon as I received the letter from His Majesty, I set off for Beijing immediately, and I didn't even have time to pack my things... Otherwise, I wouldn't catch a cold, hey..."

She complained.

His Majesty's eyes turned cold.

Qing Luo hurriedly lowered her head: "... Who would have thought that as soon as I left the house, I would be attracted by His Majesty's magnificent rivers and mountains."

His Majesty raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Really?"

"Your Majesty will never dare to expire your majesty!" Qing Luo said with a serious face, "Your Majesty knows that I don't have many opportunities to go out, and I have never seen what the late autumn of the Great Zhou Dynasty looks like. It is true that each place has its own characteristics, which makes people linger!"

"You don't have many chances to go out?" Shangguan Jun'er couldn't listen anymore, "Didn't you just come back from Beiqi? Even the prime minister has never been to Beiqi! You are not afraid of talking!"

Qingluo said calmly: "It is precisely because I have been to Northern Qi that I am even more fascinated by the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of our Great Zhou! How can such a desolate place in Northern Qi compare with our Great Zhou? Prime Minister Shangguan, you are right not to go !"

Shangguan Juner: "..."

She opened her mouth to say something, but found that she couldn't refute at all.

Could it be retorted that the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou are not as good as those of the Northern Qi?So she was wrong to delay along the way?
Oh shit!

Shangguan Jun'er couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

This stinky girl escaped again!
In terms of flattery, who can compare to this stinky girl?
She has flattered thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!
It perfectly fits His Majesty's ambitions!
His Majesty simply wanted to get angry but couldn't...

"...Huh!" His Majesty finally gave a hum.

Qingluo knew that the problem about her delay in arriving was over...

"Rong Ruo, come here." His Majesty glanced at Lin Jinyu, called him to his side, and asked, "Is it snowing outside? Why aren't you wearing a cloak?"

Lin Jinyu said: "It's only snowing, Your Majesty don't have to worry."

"How can this be done?" The empress ordered the eunuch to fetch her own sable fur coat, "Take it, and put it on when you go out. You have suffered serious injuries, so you need to take care of it."

Lin Jinyu took the coat and answered "yes".

Qing Luo lowered her head and listened, knowing that His Majesty was upset, and deliberately left her alone.

Anyway, the hall is very warm, and Qingluo is willing to stay there, so she relaxes her body and stands idly.

I almost put my hands in my sleeves again...

The queen ignored her and discussed important matters with Lin Jinyu.

It wasn't until they finished talking that the empress seemed to think of her suddenly, "So Liu Aiqing is still there?"

"That's right, isn't the minister here?" Qing Luo thought to herself that your play is too fake, it's not worth the money, oh no, it's just a waste of money to watch...

The empress sized her up and suddenly asked, "Liu Aiqing, how is your county's tax situation this year?"

Finally got to the point.

Qingluo endured the discomfort in her stomach, cheered herself up, and replied: "Return to Your Majesty, I specially brought the tax account book of Pingyang County this year's autumn, please have a look."

The inner prisoner came down, took the account book, and held it to the queen.

The queen flipped through a few pages casually, her eyes resting on the number on the last line, her eyes flickered imperceptibly.

Although she had already received news that Liu Qingluo had done a good job in the entire Pingyang County, she never expected that she could really raise taxes so much.

You must know that Pingyang County is also one of the worst-hit places!
When the empress proposed this tax figure, she deliberately made things difficult for her, never thinking that she could do it.
