County Magistrate Qu didn't dare to sleep all night.

At dawn in the morning, he went to the door in a carriage and waited for the call.

He kept his orders in mind and dared not make public or extravagant.

On a midsummer day, when the sun just rises, you can already feel a slight heat.

County Magistrate Qu was nervous and restless.

After waiting in the carriage for two hours, I watched the sun change from dim to dazzling light, and my body was sweating.

But even so, he waited patiently outside.

When it was close to noon, Qu county magistrate was thirsty and felt almost unable to hold on.

The door of confinement finally opened.

A man in the shape of a guard came out.

County Magistrate Qu hurriedly ran down from the carriage. Because he was anxious, he almost tripped and stumbled.

"Sir, is it your highness who wants to see me?" he respectfully came forward, habitually took a stack of thick silver notes from his arms and stuffed them in the past.

The guard looked at him, calmly put in his skirt, and then said, "the county magistrate has been waiting for a long time. Your highness arrived late last night and got up late today."

When the silver ticket was accepted, Qu county magistrate's heart was half at ease.

He smiled pleasantly. "Soon, your Highness has just arrived. It's time to have a good rest." county magistrate Qu followed the guard all the way in and secretly looked up at the house.

There is nothing strange about an ordinary small courtyard.

Qu county magistrate fought bravely and then said, "Your Highness, it must be hard to travel all the way to Guangling. This yard is really simple. If you don't say a few words in front of your highness, my county magistrate's house can't compare with the imperial palace courtyard in the capital, but it can make your highness more comfortable. Secondly, let your highness do his best as a host in order to entertain your highness comprehensively."

The guard didn't look at him and didn't know how much he listened to him. He just said, "the county magistrate has a heart, but where to live is your Highness's opinion. We subordinates just listen to the orders."

Qu county magistrate smiled, "yes, the adult is right. The lower official is stupid."

Between their words, they had walked outside the hall.

At noon, it was the hottest day. Magistrate Qu was sweating all the way. His back was almost soaked. Standing at the door, he could feel the cold breath coming from inside. It was very comfortable.

Qu county magistrate couldn't help but cheer up.

The guard went in first and announced it. After a while, he came out again and signaled that he could go in.

Qu county magistrate rigidly walked in carefully, but he didn't dare to go out.

The people in the hall were dressed in purplish civilian clothes, introverted but noble. County magistrate Qu only saw a slight corner of the clothes and dared not look up again. He just knelt down and respectfully saluted.

"Your Highness Qu Rui, I see your Highness the eighth prince. I don't know your Highness's great drive. I'm far from welcoming you. I hope your highness will forgive me."

When Qu county magistrate heard that people were coming to the capital, he never expected that the prince would come today.

Or the eighth prince, who was raised in Shoukang palace and loved by the emperor very much.

He just wanted to break his head, but he never expected that the eighth prince would come to Guangling.

If he knew, he would not dare to make such a big fuss.

You know, most of the prince's patrols in micro clothes are low-key. First, he has a special identity and is afraid of being harmed by people with intentions. Second, people like them will not leave the capital easily unless there is something important. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, they need to hide their identity.

His Highness the eighth Prince is young after all. When he left the palace and went to Guangling, he must be quiet. No one can disturb him.

What Qu county magistrate had done before was not good, and his whereabouts would be exposed every minute.

Zhao Ying and are bored playing with the precious stones in their hands. Their tone is lazy and impatient: "don't talk nonsense. The prince doesn't want to waste time. He has something important to do when he comes to Guangling this time. You have been a county magistrate here for many years. The prince wants you to do some things."

"Yes, your highness, if you have anything to do, just tell your highness. Your highness will do his best and die."

Zhao Yinghe smiled and seemed to think that Qu county magistrate looked a little funny.

"Can you really die?" the jewel beads hit him in his hand and made a slight knock. "The prince doesn't like to listen to empty words."

County Magistrate Qu swallowed his saliva tremblingly.

He was already sweating. Now the curler in the room was full and cold. The sweat wet place on his body was soaked a little by the cold, which would make his whole body feel cold.

"Next... Next Officer..."

"Look how frightened Lord Qu is. The prince is joking with you." Zhao Yinghe said slowly, in a relaxed tone, as if he were a mischievous child.

County Magistrate Qu doesn't dare to think he is a child.

Who came out of the palace is not a human spirit.

He seemed to suddenly return to his mind, "are you all waste? Why are you so careless when the county magistrate arrived for so long? Please take a seat and serve tea!"

As soon as he said this, Qu county magistrate was in a flash. Only then did he find that he was put on the position and a cup of hot tea was stuffed into his hand.

He put it or drank it. He could only bear it.

"What did I say earlier? Yes, it's important." Zhao Yinghe said slowly, "there are three things for the prince to come to Guangling this time."

"Yes, your highness, please tell me." Qu county magistrate answered with a smile.

"The first thing, of course, is about the beautiful women in next year's general election. Originally, this matter should not be managed by the prince. However, since we have come, we don't bother the people of the Ministry of household to send someone to run again. Guangling is the best place to raise people, and there have always been more beauties... Um... Can the county magistrate understand what the prince means?"

County Magistrate Qu will come right away.

Every six years, Daliang elects beautiful women, which is coordinated by the Ministry of household, and then selects women of appropriate age in each place. After heavy assessment, they are finally sent to Beijing to participate in the draft.

Folk talent shows are the only way for many women to climb the branches step by step.

After the draft, some of these beauties can enter the palace, but if they can't, they will be selected by the kings and brought back to the house. They will be selected layer by layer. Finally, if no one wants them, they will be returned to their original place.

Of course, this is the normal process.

What's more, when screening local beauties, many adults will start first, look for and pick some, and then report the rest for review.

Many of these people were picked out in advance. Some of these adults took back their houses, some chose to send people, and all kinds of things.

As soon as Qu county magistrate heard this, he knew that Zhao Yinghe would choose some people first. As for what he chose to do, he could not ask.

"Don't worry, your highness. Your highness understands. I'll go back and arrange it later." he hurriedly said.

Zhao Yinghe continued: "the second thing... The prince heard occasionally that rhinoceros horn incense once appeared here in Guangling..."

"This......" Qu county magistrate was stunned. "Your Highness is looking for rhinoceros horn incense? Is it the rhinoceros horn incense that the lower officer thought?"

"What do you say?" Zhao Yinghe asked him with a crooked head and a smile.

Qu county magistrate smiled in fear, "this... It's hard to find. After all, it's just a rumor, and I don't know if it's available..."

Although rhinoceros horn is precious, many people can afford it in a rich family.

The rhinoceros horn incense Zhao Yinghe is looking for is not an ordinary rhinoceros horn incense, but a fragrance rumored to be able to pass through different worlds and see dead people.

It is said that the rhinoceros horn incense is made from rhinoceros horn by secret method. When it is burned, the heart and eyes are clear, and you can see what you can't see.

County Magistrate Qu suddenly felt colder and his back was cold.

"The Phoenix coming from a hole may not be without cause." Zhao Ying said in a deep voice.

"You should try your best."

County Magistrate Qu now dare not pat his chest again and say some beautiful big words.

"The third thing..." Zhao Yinghe said and suddenly paused. "The tea of the county magistrate is cold. Don't you know how to change a cup?"

County Magistrate Qu just felt that the tea was not so hot. His palm hurt again.

On his hand, he was soon replaced by a cup of hot tea, which twisted his face.

"A group of things without eyesight." Zhao Ying and Shen Sheng scolded.

County Magistrate Qu felt that the eight princes were scolding him.

He hurriedly asked, "what's the third thing, your highness?"

Zhao Ying and her eyebrows and eyes sank slightly. She didn't know if she was unhappy, and her tone was a little impatient: "just do the first two things well. If the prince didn't order you, you don't have to intervene. You just need to let your people obey my orders."

"Yes, it was the lower official who overstepped."

After staying for a while, magistrate Qu felt that he would scare away several years of life on the spot.

The eight princes are uncertain about happiness and anger, and their temper is really unpredictable, not to mention his means of torture, which is to make you suffer and make you smile.

Fortunately, he did not dare to fool him like a child at the beginning, otherwise he would not be as simple as serving a cup of hot tea.

"Why are you still sitting? But is there anything else?" Zhao Yinghe asked him aloud.

Hearing the speech, Qu county magistrate stood up, "no, no, the lower officer won't disturb your Highness's rest. The lower officer will go down and arrange what your highness ordered now."

Zhao Yinghe nodded gently.

Qu county magistrate trembled to put down the hot tea, grabbed his hands and retreated like a fly.

Zhao Yinghe watched him leave, and the corners of her mouth pressed down, showing a little disdain.

"The prince's people dare to buy off. Such people can be county magistrate..." he shook his head and made no secret of his deep sarcasm in his tone.

If people like Qu county magistrate were in the capital, they would die if they gave silver tickets.

It's light to ask him to bring two cups of hot tea and teach him some lessons.

When he finished, he thought for himself: "forget it. If you want him to do something, let him go."

Zhao Yinghe's happiness and unhappiness are all in a flash.

At this moment, he got up and looked at the scorching sun outside, which relieved him a lot.
