Xu Qi'an said before that he wanted to train Xu Xinnian to be the chief assistant of Da Feng. This was of course a joke, but he did have the idea of ​​"promoting" Xu Erlang.

After experiencing so many things and offending so many people, this idea has become clearer and more profound.

First of all, Xu Erlang himself is extremely talented. He follows the Confucian orthodox system and his scheming skills are pretty good. He has been in the officialdom for several years and is definitely a great teammate.

But the disadvantages of Confucian orthodox birth are also obvious - motherless children!

"Princess Huaiqing is a prostitute, so I suspect she has secretly cultivated forces, but what Erlang wants is a solid backer, not to become an underground party member.

"As for the prince, I broke up with Concubine Chen, my mother-in-law, after the case of Concubine Fu, so the prince will not consider it. Moreover, the prince's rank is too low and he is not worthy of my second son. For the same reason, the fourth prince also passes."

After going through it in his mind, he found that he could not find a suitable backer in the civil service group.

Phew...forget it, this matter is not urgent. After the palace examination, Erlang's matter will come to an end for the time being. The next thing I want to be wary of is the Buddhist envoys, as well as the heavenly beings of Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen.

The dispute... Hey, this kind of orthodoxy dispute is the most troublesome. Xu Qian pinched his eyebrows and whispered:

"For me, the most important thing is to advance to the bronze skin and iron bone realm as soon as possible."

He washed his face and went out. Xu Yinluo was dealing with Wanji all day long, so how could he have time to look after Xu Erlang?

Riding on the little mare and carrying the two books coded by Zhong Li, Xu Qian entered the imperial city at full speed, took out the waist jade given by Lin'an, and led by Yu Linwei to Shaoyin Garden.

Lin'an was very happy for Xu Qi'an's sudden visit and asked the palace maid to serve the best tea and the most delicious cakes to the dog slave.

"How are you doing, Your Highness?" Xu Qian asked.

Lin'an sighed, his peach blossom eyes were no longer charming, and he was dejected: "My mother-in-law cried to me every day, saying that she was bullied by the queen in the harem and that she would not be able to live any longer."

As for the people behind Concubine Chen, aren't they going to help... Well, Concubine Chen is a qualified little expert in palace fighting, so she won't be so helpless. She should be deliberately pretending to be pitiful in front of Lin'an, and wants to try the curve.

Save the country...Xu Qi'an said in surprise:

"The Queen is so bullying. Your Highness, you just watch Concubine Chen being humiliated in the harem?"

"Then I can't beat Huaiqing. Besides, I don't think the mother-in-law is as miserable as she said." She said aggrievedly.

"Look for Your Majesty." Xu Qian tried.

"You guys go down first." Lin'an waved the palace maid away.

The hall became quiet, and no one spoke for a long time.

"Dog slave..."

She screamed feebly.

"Well, Your Highness, tell me."

"When the prince's brother was imprisoned in Dali Temple, I went to beg my father, but he didn't see me, so I stood in the cold for two hours. It was Huaiqing who drove me back...

"

Lin'an lowered his head sadly, feeling like a little beast with low self-esteem, "At that time, I thought, maybe my father didn't love me that much. After the prince's brother's accident, my brothers and sisters stopped playing with me, and I realized that they didn't play with me anymore.

Don’t really like me…”

Her eyebrows were twitching, her clear and charming peach blossom eyes were dim, and her head was slightly lowered. She was not a princess, but a wronged and pitiful girl.

Xu Qi'an knew that His Highness Lin'an's trust in him was overwhelming, so she shed her princess pride in front of him, revealing a girl who was not too stupid, but not smart either.

She must have been holding these things in her heart for a long time... At least she realized this reality after the prince's accident... But she didn't show it and still maintained her pride as a princess.

It wasn't until the Fu Fei case was over that she belatedly revealed the truth behind the case... What was her mood like at that time? Sad, helpless, disappointed?

This princess looks cute and willful, but she is actually a paper tiger with a fierce appearance. She only yells when she is wronged, but she silently endures the grievances that really hurt her heart.

In essence, she is a submissive woman, beautiful, but also strong on the outside but cowardly on the inside.

Lin'an's eyes gradually blurred, and she felt much better after saying these words. Although the dog slave could not give her anything, and he even hesitated to help her uphold justice in front of Huaiqing, but he could offend Huaiqing for himself, and Linan felt already

Very happy.

Suddenly, a hand pressed on her head and rubbed it.

Lin'an raised his head in surprise, only to find that the dog slave had walked up to him at some point. There was a helpless look in his eyes that expressed regret for his misfortune and hatred for him.

"Your Highness, I will accompany you."

Lin'an's face turned red little by little, and he said softly like a mosquito: "You, don't touch my head... I will be angry."

Xu Qi'an rebelliously disobeyed Her Royal Highness the Princess's order and rubbed her hair hard, messing up her hair.

Lin'an opened her peach blossom eyes wide and stared at him, as if using her princess' majesty to force the slave to retreat. But although her eyes were charming and passionate, they were really not lethal.

Lin'an lowered his head again.

Well, the best way to deal with a girl with this kind of personality is to be appropriately domineering and stalking... If it were Huaiqing, I might have been stabbed to death with a sword...

..

An ambiguous atmosphere fermented between the two of them.

Xu Qi'an withdrew his hand in time, took out the storybook of "The Great Sage of Love" from his arms, placed it in front of Lin'an, and said with a smile:

"This is a book I got occasionally from my humble position. It's quite interesting. The princess likes to listen to stories, so she will probably also like to read them. However, don't say it was given by me."

Lin'an's attention was immediately attracted by "The Great Sage of Love".

"If you feel that staying in the palace is boring, you might as well move to Lin'an Mansion, so that your humble job can play with you every day, and even secretly take you outside."

After chatting for a few words, he said goodbye and left.

"Xu Qian!"

Lin'an stopped him, puffed out his cheeks, and threatened fiercely: "What happened today must not be spread to anyone else, otherwise, otherwise..."

I want to say "Otherwise I'll chop off your head", but I'm a little reluctant to do so.

"I know." Xu Qian said.

.........

Xu Qian left Shaoyin Garden and said to Yu Linwei, "If I still want to see the eldest princess, please take me there."

"This is against the rules." Yulin Wei shook his head.

"I can wait outside the palace city. This is in compliance with the rules." Xu Qian calmly pushed over a ten-tael silver note.

Yu Linwei agreed to him and took Xu Qian out of the palace, asking him to wait outside the palace while he went in to pass the news.

When a stick of incense did not arrive, Yu Linwei returned and said, "Princess Huaiqing invites you."

Xu Qi'an raised the corner of her mouth, put her hand on her chest, and said to her heart, Huaiqing, Huaiqing, let's see the power of the overbearing female CEO and the silly sweet little scholar.

It will definitely hit your sweet spot.
