While chatting and joking with Yin Jianghong, Jiang Beiran found himself walking back to the palace, where he had just changed into the emperor's robe.
Amid the calls of "Your Majesty" from the officials and maids, Jiang Beiran arrived in front of a hall that was eleven feet high.
The decoration of this palace is comparable to that of the Xuanting Hall that Jiang Beiran just called "good guy". The outer beams and lintels are all colorful paintings of ancient auspicious animals. When you go inside, above the dragon chair is a golden lacquered dragon caisson.
Close to the dragon chair, six golden pillars made of powdered dragons reach up to the top of the palace, connecting up, down, left and right, with brilliant golden light and extreme luxury.
There is a throne platform in the hall, which has seven steps. The gold-lacquered wooden throne with carved dragon patterns sits high on the seven-step platform. Behind the throne, there is a lacquered screen with carved dragons on its back...
Just as Jiang Beiran was looking around, he heard Yin Jianghong cough.
"Where are the people?"
Jiang Beiran was stunned after hearing this, not knowing who Yin Jianghong was calling.
However, there was silence in the hall, and no one answered him.
There was no answer for a while. Yin Jianghong showed a sullen look on his face. He took a deep breath and raised his voice and said, "Where's the person?"
"Here...here, daddy, don't be angry. It's not good for you to be so angry."
Behind the dragon chair, Mu Yao, wearing a light pink dress, ran out in shock and fear and apologized repeatedly.
We haven't seen Mu Yao for half a year. Although Mu Yao's height has not changed much, her figure has become more and more exquisite. Her small waist is restrained by the cloud belt, which makes her look full. A seven-treasure coral hairpin is reflected in her hair.
Her face is like a hibiscus, and her big, dazzling eyes are even more lively and luminous.
Her black hair is combed into a gorgeous bun, which makes her look gorgeous and graceful. Pearls the size of her little finger are as bright as snow, and little stars are twinkling in her hair.
It can be said that she has transformed from a heroine in the arena to a graceful little show girl.
But judging from the awkward expression on her face when she grabbed the hem of her skirt, it could be seen that she was really not used to it.
‘Gan, why is she here!?’
Jiang Beiran suddenly felt an indescribable pain in his crotch, because in the next second he guessed the cause, and even if he didn't guess correctly, he was probably close to it.
"Have you forgotten the rules I taught you a few days ago? How should you place your hands?" Yin Jianghong said sharply.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yao quickly let go of her hand holding the hem of her skirt, stood up straight like a palace maid, with her hands palms facing down, her left hand and right hand folded in front of her chest and abdomen.
"Where are the feet?"
Mu Yao first glanced at Jiang Beiran, then she felt a little humiliated and raised her left foot and moved half a step back, while keeping her shoulders level and her upper body upright.
Yin Jianghong nodded with satisfaction, looked at Jiang Beiran and said: "Beiran, this girl of mine is really naughty, and among the young disciples I know, you are the most powerful, so I want her to stay with you for a long time.
Learn from me, I owe you a favor."
'grass!'
Yin Jianghong had already said this, so how could Jiang Beiran refuse? This was simply forced on him.
And it’s all bullshit to follow Duo Xue, isn’t it because the emperor asked his upright disciple to do it, the demon sect will always have to put some people in, but what’s the use of putting a stupid girl in???
In order to prevent this silly girl who was constantly casting "Don't look at me, I'll kill you" at him from the corner of his eye to stay in this palace and become a monster, Jiang Beiran thought for a moment and then said to Yin Jianghong.
"Master Yin, I thought Miss Mu didn't like red clothes and weapons. It would be a pity to let her enter the palace. I remember that Brother Jiuri is proficient in poetry. At that meeting of heroes, I saw from his poetry that he has great ambitions.
It is better to let him enter the palace, I will give him a first-class official title, and we can jointly govern the Sheng Kingdom, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Mu Yao clapped her hands in her heart, and a sense of confidant arose spontaneously, and she suddenly felt that Jiang Beiran was beautiful and beautiful.
After hearing this, Yin Jianghong looked at Jiang Beiran with a strange look. She felt that this conversation had happened before, but after thinking about it for a moment, she felt relieved.
Last time he wanted to bring this pair together, he specifically asked Jiang Beiran and Mu Yao to go together to investigate the Huang Gang's headless case with almost no clues. But he didn't expect Jiang Beiran to solve it in just three days, and he was so impatient.
Then he stuffed Mu Yao back.
It can be seen that the two of them did not get along happily along the way.
Yin Jianghong could only sigh. After all, as a father, he knew Mu Yao's temper very well. Apart from herself and her eldest brother, she didn't take anyone seriously.
But Yin Jianghong believes that as long as you spend more time cultivating something like love, it will always blossom and bear fruit.
Last time, because the time was too short, this time Mu Yao was thrown directly into the palace and let her and Jiang Beiran get along day and night. Yin Jianghong believed that Jiang Beiran would definitely find the cuteness in her daughter.
So after hearing this, Yin Jianghong shook his head and said: "Leaving aside Jiu Ri's personal wishes, do you think Guan Shi'an will agree to this? What a cultivator cannot be is not just an emperor."
'well……'
Seeing that his last hope was shattered, Jiang Beiran could only nod his head and said: "In that case, I will follow the arrangement of Master Yin."
Seeing that Jiang Beiran was defeated so quickly, Mu Yao quickly shouted: "Dad~ Yao'er promises not to cause trouble again. Don't let Yao'er go~ Big Daddy~"
"Stop doing this! Do you think I will still believe you? You did something ridiculous. If I don't test your temper this time, I'm afraid you will poke a hole in your life next time.
!Stand still for me!”
"Well..."
Mu Yao returned to her standing position, her face full of grievances.
'Oh... you are still a scumbag daughter who can't even deal with your own father. Why are you so useless!'
However, Yin Jianghong would speak so harshly this time. Jiang Beiran probably had something to do with Mu Yao's arrest last time. He probably received a lot of training after being rescued by Yin Jianghong.
Jiang Beiran, knowing that the outcome could not be changed, first looked at Mu Yao, then looked at Yin Jianghong and said, "I wonder how Master Yin wants me to arrange Miss Mu?"
Yin Jianghong waved her hands casually and said, "Just give her a female official to do it for you. The main thing is to let her learn more from you."
After hearing this, the grievance on Mu Yao's face became more obvious, but she did not dare to speak out to object, so she could only keep biting her lower lip.
'Female officer...'
The female official is also called the palace official. It sounds nice. She is a senior palace maid. She is usually responsible for taking care of the ordinary palace maids and training the younger palace maids who have just entered the palace. Of course, taking care of the royal members must be her main job.
'It's so miserable...'
"My father, the leader of the Demon Cult, sent me to the palace to be a maid, and it feels abnormal no matter how much I think about it."
Jiang Beiran felt that Mu Yao should have such a book in mind that she wanted to write.
When Jiang Beiran was thinking about how to arrange this little female official, Yin Jianghong suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on, come out with me first."
Jiang Beiran nodded and followed Yin Jianghong out.
After the two of them left, Mu Yao squatted down in aggrieved manner.
'Why is Daddy so cruel this time...'
When they came to the garden outside, Yin Jianghong looked at Jiang Beiran and said: "Beiran, I know Mu Yao is naughty in your eyes, but if you can spend more time getting to know her, you will find that this is not her true self.
Look."
'Damn...are you trying to force me to drink the ecstasy soup?'
Naturally, Yin Jianghong couldn't hear Jiang Beiran's inner complaints and continued talking to herself.
"Mu Yao had a very hard time as a child. There was a plague in the village and people were dying every day. However, because the local county magistrate concealed the news, no one came to save them."
Jiang Beiran has seen many plague-ridden villages. In this era of lack of hygiene awareness and medical conditions, more people die from the plague every year than from starvation.
"Because Mu Yao was born with a good constitution, when her whole family was infected with the plague, she was the only one who recovered well, so she shouldered the burden of taking care of the family. But she can be cured of the plague, especially when she was a child."
"On the first day, her two-year-old brother died, and she buried it with her own hands. The next day, her mother died, and she buried it with her own hands. By the time my church members found her, there were only eight people in the family.
She is the only one left."
"When she was first brought to the church, she didn't say a word or cry for several days, but she rushed to do all the work. Everyone in the church felt sorry for her, including me, so later
I adopted her as my adopted daughter."
"Mu Yao was very talented and soon became the best among the disciples of her age. At the same time, she knew more and more things. She believed that her family did not wait for the doctor until the day she died because the court did nothing, and the court
The reason why we do nothing is because of the suppression of decent people."
"From now on, whenever she sees a decent disciple like you, she won't look down upon her. But in fact, she is really a good child, and everyone in the church also likes her."
In this sentence, Jiang Beiran didn't think that Yin Jianghong insisted on saying black as white.
Because Kong Qianqian also told him at the beginning that Mu Yao was usually very nice to her, but she was often angry because Kong Qianqian kept turning her elbow towards him.
Taking a long breath, Yin Jianghong looked at Jiang Beiran and said seriously: "The reason why I handed her over to you is because her hatred for decency is too blind, and she often does impulsive things, even... forget it,
It’s okay not to mention it, there are some things I can’t teach her, but as a decent disciple you can definitely do it, Mu Yao is a very important family member of mine, so I leave it to you.”
'Where does your confidence in me come from...'
But faced with Yin Jianghong's words of completely letting go of her arrogance, Jiang Beiran naturally replied seriously: "This junior will do his best."
At this moment, Yin Jianghong is not the leader, nor is he the emperor.
This was an entrustment from an old father, and as a junior, he accepted this entrustment.
"Thank you." Yin Jianghong smiled and nodded.
Returning to the Jingxin Hall, Mu Yao, who was squatting on the ground and drawing circles, quickly stood up and adjusted her posture.
Yin Jianghong glared at her first, and then said to Jiang Beiran: "In this case, Mu Yao is entrusted to you. You must teach her well. She is weak and disobedient, so you ask the Xie Diao to send me a letter, and I will come immediately.
.”
"I understand." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Then you can figure out the rest slowly by yourself. I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
"Daddy!" Mu Yao couldn't help shouting when she heard that Yin Jianghong was leaving.
"Listen to the emperor, do you hear me?" Yin Jianghong looked at her and said.
"I know...I know." Mu Yao nodded.
"Well, then I can rest assured. Dad will come to see you when everything is over."
After Yin Jianghong finished speaking, she turned and left.
"Dad..." Mu Yao murmured and her body relaxed.
"Hey, who told you to relax and maintain a good posture? You are a female official and you have to set an example for other maids."
"You!" Mu Yao pointed at Jiang Beiran, but remembering her previous experience of resisting Jiang Beiran and her father's words, she finally kept her stance obediently.
Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Beiran walked next to her and said: "I am also a reasonable person. If you behave well, I will tell Master Yin truthfully, and maybe you can go back early and continue to be your Demon Sect's chivalrous woman.
Yes, do you understand?"
"Huh! I don't want to listen to you!" Mu Yao turned her head to the side after speaking.
"Stand still!"
Although Mu Yao was very reluctant, she still straightened her head.
"Very good, as long as you hold on, you'll be able to go back soon." After saying that, he walked towards the bookshelf next to him.
Glancing at Jiang Beiran with her peripheral vision, Mu Yao comforted herself in her heart: 'This is all to go back early, not to listen to him!'
After looking at the bookshelf tens of meters high, Jiang Beiran looked at the eunuch who had been standing a few meters away and followed him and asked, "What's your name?"
The eunuch immediately knelt down and replied: "My name is Gu Jinzhong."
"Loyalty?" Jiang Beiran laughed, "What is your position?"
"The younger one is the Internal Affairs Supervisor Si Li..."
"Responsible for something?"
After hearing this, Gu Jinzhong swallowed nervously, and then replied: "I am mainly in charge of purchasing the utensils used by the Emperor."
After listening to this, Jiang Beiran casually took a book from the bookshelf and asked, "Where are the books? Are they also under your control?"
After hearing this, Gu Jinzhong quickly kowtowed and said, "All the books in the palace belong to His Majesty."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran burst out laughing and said, "That's cool. Okay, let me ask you another way, did you buy all these books?"
"It was purchased by a villain." Gu Jinzhong replied.
"Okay, you can make a list later. I want to know the names of all the books and their approximate contents. I will give you one day to complete it."
Gu Jinzhong trembled after hearing this. With so many books, it would be extremely difficult to sort out an outline in one day.
But Gu Jinzhong immediately kowtowed and said: "I obey the order."
"Well, go ahead."
After hearing this, Gu Qingzhong hurriedly ran out. This was a race against time.
Jiang Beiran, on the other hand, flipped through the book he had just pulled out.
"There are at least thousands of books here. How could that person compile an outline in one day? You are too pushy."
At this time, Mu Yao, who was still standing, spoke.
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly after hearing this, closed the book and walked to Mu Yao's side and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Looking at Jiang Beiran's brilliant smile, Mu Yao felt her heart go cold. She took a few nervous breaths and said, "I..."
Seeing that Mu Yao didn't speak anymore, Jiang Beiran stopped his smile and said, "If you dare to do the following again in the future, I will let you remember it for a long time. If you think I can't do it, you can try it."
Although Mu Yao instinctively wanted to retort, she remembered that her eldest father had gone out with Jiang Beiran alone, so she finally kept her mouth shut.
