Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong and remained silent.

Li Rong hurriedly said, "One five or two, look at so many here."

"Can't help."

Pei Wenxuan's smile collapsed, and he got up straight: "Sleep."

"Oh, no," Li Rong hurriedly chased after him, "Isn't it okay just now, why are you going to sleep all of a sudden?"

Pei Wenxuan ignored her, got on the bed and lifted the quilt, lay down on the bed, covered the quilt, and closed his eyes.

Li Rong sat on the side and gently nudged him: "It's not a big deal, just tell them, they won't take your face away. The son of the noble family will not sign, and ordinary scholars will always OK?"

"Don't go, shameful."

Pei Wenxuan closed her eyes and spoke decisively. Li Rong thought about it, maybe there were some rules she didn't understand between their men. Pei Wenxuan has always followed her, and it is probably really inconvenient to say that she can't go, and it's not a big deal, so she just gave up. Put this stack of papers on the table, wash and undress, and go back to the bed.

Pei Wenxuan fell asleep beside the bed, and Li Rong patted him: "Let me go, I'll go in."

Pei Wenxuan turned his back to her, wrapped in a quilt, motionless, closed his eyes and said, "Don't let it go, crawl by yourself."

Li Rong was irritated by this attitude, she stood beside the bed and said coldly, "Will you let me?"

Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong reached out and dragged him. Pei Wenxuan felt that she was going to do something, so he straightened up and sat cross-legged before giving up a seat.

Li Rong gave him a mocking look, and got into bed gracefully. Pei Wenxuan was a little aggrieved by her look, and he always felt as if he had lost. Seeing her lying down, he muttered softly, "Just let it go, what are you doing so fiercely?"

After saying this, I felt that I had made a comeback, and Pei Wenxuan was finally satisfied and lay down to sleep.

Li Rong got up early the next morning and returned to the Superintendent with the piece of paper. Shangguanya saw Li Rong coming, and went forward full of hope: "His Royal Highness, how is it? Is it so fast?"

"Pei Wenxuan is unwilling to do this and feels ashamed."

Li Rong handed the paper to Shangguanya and said directly: "Don't be too busy with this, and quickly hand over Liu Hangchun's information to me."

When Shangguanya heard this, she cried out: "His Royal Highness, your words are nothing..."

"When did I promise you that I would take it back?"

Li Rong raised her hand and tapped Shangguanya's head with a fan, then sat back on the edge of the desk: "Try it for you, don't push yourself too far."

When Shangguanya heard this, she sighed and didn't dare to bother Li Rong any more. She sat down and put Liu Hangchun's information on the table and sighed, "It's all here."

In the imperial court, after being an official for a long time, there are some things that can be checked. Li Rong asked the inspector to check Liu Chunhang on purpose, and Shangguanya quickly sorted out a batch of information.

This Liu Chunhang is in the Ministry of Personnel. There are no big mistakes, there are a lot of small mistakes. Li Rong didn't bother to look at such a case, but it just happened that this time Liu Chunhang was in charge of the transfer of officials below the fifth rank in the Ministry of Personnel, and Pei Wenxuan was going to join the Ministry of Personnel. , but Wang Houwen's hand, it is best to be below the fifth rank. In this way, the list does not have to be handed over to Wang Houwen, the official minister of the Ministry of Personnel, for review.

Nowadays, the imperial examinations are not taken seriously, and when he enters the Ministry of Personnel, he can be arranged to preside over the imperial examinations and become a chief examiner.

The imperial examination in the previous life was the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, and there were many talents. If Pei Wenxuan was the chief examiner of this imperial examination, his family would be numerous in the court after his birthday, and he would be full of wings.

So many things haven't happened in the last life. These students have been tempered in unimportant positions for several years before they start to show their prominence. In this life, she has arrested so many people now, and the court has vacated so many positions at once. These students enter. Chaotang, if they operate a little more, they will be promoted much faster than in the previous life.

Li Rong arranged Pei Wenxuan's path clearly in her heart. She took a look at Liu Hangchun's information and asked the dark guard to report Liu Chunhang's location, and then went to block people on the street herself.

According to the information from the dark guard, Liu Chunhang was recruiting dancers in the restaurant to make fun, and Li Rong went to the restaurant next door, set up a private room, and then had someone go to inform Liu Chunhang.

Li Rong was drinking tea in the room by herself, and after a while, she saw Liu Hangchun hurried in, knelt on the ground and said urgently, "Kneeling to Your Highness, the lower official did not know that His Highness was here, and I hoped that Your Highness would forgive me if I missed you. "

"It's just a meal, Master Liu doesn't need to be cautious."

Li Rong smiled, raised her hand and said, "Master Liu, sit down."

Now it was the time when officials were being transferred. Although Liu Hangchun was not of high rank, he was in an important position in the personnel department. He naturally knew that Li Rong was looking for him in person, not just drinking tea and chatting.

Li Rong poured him tea in person, Liu Hangchun sat cautiously, raised his hands to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and dared not speak.

"There's not much time, and I don't want to go around in circles with Master Liu, so I'll get straight to the point."

The sound of making tea rang out in the room, and Li Rong's tone was calm, as if she was chatting: "I came here to ask Master Liu to do me a favor. I heard that this time, officials below the fifth rank of the Ministry of Personnel have been transferred. Lord Liu is the master. I have a person here, who is outstanding in learning and has a good character. I would like to recommend it to Lord Liu to be the master of the examination. I wonder if Lord Liu can help with this?"

"His Royal Highness," Liu Hangchun said with an embarrassed look, "the position of the master of the examination is currently full, and the Ministry of Personnel has no plans to recruit this position."

"I don't have a position, so I can create a position," Li Rong laughed. "Isn't the Ministry of Personnel now missing a clerk? Move the member of the staff to the position of the staff member, and choose a master of the test to move to the position of the member of the staff. , doesn't this place exist?"

"His Royal Highness has taken so much trouble," Liu Hangchun suggested, "why not send the person you recommended directly to the position of Langzhong?"

Liu Hangchun didn't want to take this hot yam, Li Rong listened to his words and looked at him with a smile: "Master Liu is refusing?"

"Don't dare," Liu Hangchun hurriedly knelt down and said anxiously, "Your Highness is in trouble, and the lower official will naturally try his best to help, but the official position of the master of the test is too small, Your Highness..."

"But I don't think he has enough qualifications. One test is enough. I just want him to be this?"

Liu Hangchun stopped answering. He knelt on the ground, desperately thinking about how to answer. Li Rong picked up the teacup and said slowly, "Master Liu, there is a box on the table, open it and take a look."

Liu Hangchun wanted to be able to leave this topic. He breathed a sigh of relief, got up quickly, and opened the box.

As soon as the box was opened, the color of the gold bars came into view. Liu Hangchun was stunned for a moment, then immediately panicked. He put it on his hand and the lid of the box closed again. Liu Hangchun hurriedly knelt down and buckled his head desperately: "Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, don't make it harder for the little ones."

"Master Liu is joking, is this palace embarrassing you?"

Li Rong fiddled with the tea leaves with a teacup, leaned against the table, and said leisurely: "Bengong knows the rules of Master Liu, so he brought gold bars here. Today, Bengong also chooses a way for Master Liu, or else, Master Liu will take the gold bars. Take it. Or," Li Rong put down the tea bowl, probed forward, and said with a smile, "Master Liu, do you want to go to the Superintendent?"

Liu Hangchun froze, Li Rong leaned back in the chair, and said casually: "You know my style. You helped me with this. If Wang Houwen asks, do your business well, he can't do anything to you. Like. If you don't help me, I'm fine, but it's just another person who helps me sit in your seat. Mr. Liu, you can't go both ways, you have to choose one, you see, if you want gold, you should go to my supervisory department. Have a cup of tea?"

"My concubine is a talented person," Li Rong lowered her head and touched her dyed nails. "As long as you don't do anything wrong, he is more than enough to be the master of the test. I just want you to do things fairly, Mr. Liu, or Say, you don't follow the right path, but you want to take a crooked path?"

Liu Hangchun was silent for a long time, he finally made a decision, he took a deep breath, and only said: "Your Highness, Liu can't be the master of this matter, whether he can enter the official department, and be the master of the examination, depends entirely on the concubine himself, Liu only I hope your Highness can rest assured that you can do things fairly."

Li Rong understood what Liu Hangchun meant. Since both sides were offended, he would simply not help anyone.

However, with Pei Wenxuan's talent and learning, no one will help, and it is more than enough to be the master of the test.

So Li Rong smiled and replied, "Sir Liu said that, this palace is relieved."

Liu Hangchun breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that Your Highness is satisfied. If there is nothing else, then the lower official will retire first."

Li Rong nodded, raised her hand and said, "Master Liu, walk slowly."

Liu Hangchun saluted respectfully, then wiped his sweat and got up and left. After he went out, Shangguanya walked in, and when she saw Li Rong smiling, she knew it was over. She sat down and said with a bit of joy: "Now the list of personnel transfer of the personnel department is almost finalized, in just a few days, now Liu Hangchun only needs to add the name of the concubine, and after adding it, even if Wang Houwen finds out later, it is a done deal. "

Li Rong nodded and said slowly: "Pei Wenxuan has entered the Ministry of Personnel, Xie Lanqing has left, and the Ministry of Punishment is now also serving as Pei Liming's temporary assistant to the Ministry of Punishment. When the transfer list of the Ministry of Personnel comes out, the transfer list of the Ministry of Punishment should also come out. Pei Liming The position of the Minister of Punishment should be stable."

"The Pei family will fill in the position where the Shangguan family has retired, and I will feel a lot more at ease with Your Majesty, but Your Highness, I have a question."

Shangguanya brought the cup, and Li Rong responded, "You say it."

"Your Highness is confident." Shangguanya looked up at Li Rong, "Can you absolutely control the Pei family?"

Li Rong didn't speak, she was drinking tea with a calm expression.

"His Royal Highness, allow me to remind you one more thing," Shangguan Ya sipped his tea and said in a gentle tone, "I support Your Highness in building a relationship between husband and wife. It is very good to have a harmonious relationship. But cats are cute and tigers need to be considered more."

"I understand your concerns."

Li Rong replied in a slow voice: "It's just an extraordinary period, and you always need to use some people. The Shangguan family occupies those positions that are too conspicuous. After the Pei family fills in, they can relax His Majesty's guard. A few years ago, he was thinking about it every day. Suppress Shangguan's family, grab military power to concubine Rou. In the past six months, except for Chuan'er's marriage, has he rarely asked about these things?"

"He now thinks that I have been provoked by Pei Wexuan to compete with Chuan'er for power. He thinks that Pei Wexuan, as a poor family, is willing to use me for profit, so we will play this scene for him. Support the poor family according to his will. When he finally found out that Pei Wenxuan was also ours," Li Rong laughed, "I don't know what he was thinking."

"I'm afraid I have the heart to kill Pei Wenxuan."

Shangguanya also laughed, but she thought about it, and then said: "However, it is impossible for Your Majesty to completely believe in Pei Wenxuan. Now that he indulges His Highness, he just thinks that no matter whether His Highness and Pei Wenxuan are sincere or not, they are indeed there. Clean up the worms in the court. If Pei Wenxuan has a different opinion, he will stop the loss in time. It's just that Your Highness, Your Majesty can stop the loss in time, you... also need to take precautions."

When Li Rong heard this, she looked up at her and said, "What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that Your Highness will be deceived by beauty."

"His Royal Highness," Shangguanya sternly said, "I hope Your Highness will be harmonious and happy in relationship, but I also hope that Your Highness will not forget your identity. After all, the honor and disgrace of the Shangguan family belong to His Highness."

"Don't worry," Li Rong said leisurely, "I'm better than you in this matter."

"Very good," Shangguanya nodded and said happily, "I am relieved to have a wise master like His Royal Highness to lead the way. Well, today's business is over, I will go to work first."

Li Rong got this and was a little curious: "What else are you busy with?"

"Sister entrusted, since His Highness does not help, I can only find another way out."

Li Rong raised her eyebrows and looked at Shang Guanya and said, "His Royal Highness, I'll retire first."

With that said, Shangguanya walked away. Li Rong couldn't help but let people follow her to see what Shangguanya was doing.

The dark guard followed Shangguanya all the way, and saw Shangguanya arrived at the casino, found Su Ronghua, and then handed a stack of papers to Su Ronghua: "That's all, find the people whose names are written on the paper, and ask them to sign. Write a sentence or something with a name, a piece of five or two, after the event is completed, you and I will divide it into five or five."

Su Ronghua looked at the thick stack of papers that Shangguanya was holding, and raised her eyebrows: "Miss Shangguan, you are so busy with this money?"

"I lost my bet a few days ago, and I haven't landed this month." Shangguanya looked serious, "I plan to make some money, go back and fight again, and earn my money back!"

"Still don't send money?" Su Ronghua frowned, Shangguanya looked up at him, "Lord Su, look, are you helping or not?"

"Well," Su Ronghua thought for a while, "whose signature do you want?"

"Are you willing to help?"

Shangguanya was happy, she handed a stack of paper to Su Ronghua: "This is mine, let them write a few more words, look, I want Cui Yulang, Lin Zifan, and that Xie Shangqing..."

Shangguanya reported a bunch of names, and Su Ronghua kept smiling. After listening, he nodded, took the paper back, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's all up to me."

"Really? Thank you so much."

"No need to say thanks."

Su Ronghua said softly, "It's what I should do to help you correct your eyesight. Otherwise, the eldest lady of the Shangguan family is blind at a young age, which is not very good."

Shangguanya was a little dazed, just saw Su Ronghua hug the page and leave.

In the evening, Su Ronghua asked people to send the paper back to Shangguanya. Shangguanya happily went to the door to pick up the paper. After she got it, Shangguanya's expression changed instantly.

I saw the same handwriting on every piece of paper.

It says:

Su Ronghua's first beautiful man in Huajing

Su Ronghua is handsome and handsome

Su Ronghua is talented and handsome

Su Ronghua…

Shangguanya quickly turned the pages of the paper to the end, wanting to see if there were any other papers written by others. After turning the pages to the end, she saw Su Ronghua's wild cursive writing—

Please recite and recite the full text of the above.

By the way, a side portrait of his handsome face is also attached, and next to it is written: It is recommended to frame it in the bedroom for daily eye-catching.

Shangguanya was mad at this narcissism to the point of madness. She tore up all the paper frantically, regardless of herself still at the gate, leaving only the portrait, and then pointed at the servant who came to deliver the paper, trembling. Said: "You go back and tell him, you let him wait, he is dead, he! Dead! It is!"

These things were passed all the way to Li Rong's side by the spy at night. After listening to the spy finish the story, Li Rong spit out a sip of tea, crying and laughing: "Su Ronghua, is it so out of tune?"

Pei Wenxuan criticized the book by the side and listened to it. He raised his head and glanced at Li Rong, and then he heard Li Rong continue: "But seriously, how about the portrait that Su Ronghua sent to Guanya? Does it look good?"

The dark guard thought for a while and replied, "It seems to be pretty good."

"Then I'm a little curious, alas, is the painting torn?"

The dark guard shook his head: "I didn't tear it up, Miss Shangguan asked it to be framed."

"Is it really framed to look at?"

Li Rong was a little confused about what Shangguanya meant. Pei Wenxuan listened beside him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Rong waved her hand to let them go down first.

Li Rong slept, and on the second day, she went to see Shangguanya at the Inspectorate Division. Before returning home, she coughed lightly, and said casually, "Well, I heard that Su Ronghua gave you a picture. Portrait, you framed it? What do you mean?"

"Do you know what I framed it for?" Shangguanya sneered, Li Rong turned to look at her, Shangguanya clenched her fists, "I put him in the bedroom, and whenever I was upset, I would take it Shoot him with darts and whip him to relieve his anger!"

"You..." Li Rong didn't know what to say for a while, she thought about it for a long time, and then she could only say, "You have some ideas."

Shangguanya nodded and said with a sneer: "He'd better not let me hold anything, or I'll make him look good."

Li Rong just listened to this, she nodded: "Well, I know, you are very strong."

The two chatted and went home. Recently, Pei Wenxuan came back early, and Li Rong entered the Princess Mansion. She didn't see Pei Wenxuan coming to pick her up, so she turned to ask Jingmei, "Where's the concubine? Why didn't you come to pick me up?"

"The concubine is busy."

Jingmei laughed: "The concubine brought a lot of her own portraits home today and hung them in the bedroom, dining room, lobby, garden."

"What is he doing?!" Li Rong cried out in shock. As she spoke, she saw what Pei Wenxuan was drawing on the screen in the bedroom. Li Rong hurried forward. It was originally her favorite peony dancing butterfly golden silk. Yunjin Pingfeng, she was afraid that Pei Wenxuan would go crazy, so she quickly said, "Pei Wenxuan, what are you doing!"

Pei Wenxuan turned around with a smile and looked at Li Rong: "Your Highness."

When Li Rong looked over from him, she saw on the screen a self-portrait of Pei Wenxuan's long-sighted view of admiring the moon. The eldest son of Su is right. Recently, there have been frequent visits between scholars in the capital and women's thoughts are impetuous. I am afraid that the appearance of the outside world will contaminate His Highness's eyes. Your Highness, improve your aesthetics and clear your mind."

"You guys..." Li Rong looked at the screen in shock, "Did you all negotiate?"

"Wei Chen did ask a few good friends. Recently, they all went home to send their self-portraits to the lady."

Li Rong: "..."

After Li Rong was silent for a long time, in order to make Pei Wenxuan sober, she raised her hand and said to someone else, "Go get the darts."

Pei Wenxuan looked confused.

Li Rong said seriously: "Since you have discussed it, then we have also discussed it."
