The King of Huainan couldn't sit still. What a joke. If he sent an imperial envoy to Huainan, all the dirty tricks would be exposed.

No matter what, I can never agree to it.

He walked quickly to King An, pretending to be aggrieved and said: "Your Highness, have you heard that the regent is going to send an imperial minister to Huainan. He doesn't trust his ministers. If his actions cause dissatisfaction among the people of Huainan, I'm afraid he will Even I can’t suppress you!”

He felt that with Wang An's timid temperament, he would definitely stop Xiao Sheng.

After all, he has not yet completely succeeded to the throne and his foundation is not yet stable. Any civil unrest will have an indelible impact on his reputation.

However, King An only hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly: "King Huainan, my father has taught me since I was a child that if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts. Since you do things openly, why worry? It's just to check the military register. If all the numbers match up, the Huainan Army’s military pay can be released earlier this year, which will only be good for you, not bad!”

There was a chill in King Huainan's eyes. What King An said really left him unable to argue.

If he dares to refuse again, he will probably make everyone suspicious.

He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his throat and said: "May I ask, Your Highness, who can decide who the imperial envoy will be?"

King An said nothing, but raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Sheng.

He said calmly: "Han Ning, what does King Huainan think of this candidate?"

The King of Huainan was so angry that he was so angry that he shot himself in the foot.

After filing a complaint against Han Ning, in the end, he was appointed as the imperial minister who went to Huainan Mansion to verify the military register?

Really annoying!

He said solemnly: "The Regent actually sent a criminal to Huainan Mansion?"

Xiao Sheng said: "It is precisely because of sinners that we can meritorious deeds. I think that no one is more suitable to go to Huainan Mansion than him. I believe that King Huainan will protect him well and never let him be harmed in the slightest, right?" ? After all, that is your territory, if he does anything wrong in the slightest, you will not be able to get away with it!"

King Huainan couldn't remember how he left the palace. When he returned to the palace, he smashed everything in the study.

He cursed fiercely while smashing: "Xiao Sheng, you despicable child, you are worthy of touching my Huainan Mansion, who do you think you are?"

The staff walked in quickly from outside and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Since this matter is a foregone conclusion, we must take precautions!"

King Huainan looked at him with scarlet eyes: "How to prevent it? Where can 10,000+ soldiers and horses hide?"

The aide said something in his ear, and he interrupted with raised eyebrows: "So what if it is well hidden? The quantity is not enough, so how can we make up for the extra military pay from the imperial court?"

The staff had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is to get through the crisis of verifying military registers. As for how to fill the gap, you can just blame the former Minister of War. Just say that he has been corrupted by him. We haven't seen it at all. silver!"

King Huainan narrowed his eyes dangerously, it seemed that he had to give Zhu Qian some air in advance.

Not long after, a man wearing a black cloak appeared in King Huainan's study.

Put down the hood, who is it if it's not Zhu Qian?

He raised his eyebrows and asked: "Many eyeliners are watching outside. Why are you so anxious to ask me to come over?"

King Huainan quickly walked up to him and said: "The Zhu family must admit that they embezzled the military pay sent to Huainan Mansion, otherwise, the court will be suspicious of me!"

A cold light flashed in Zhu Qian's eyes. He frowned and asked, "Are you going to send the whole Zhu family to death? Embezzling military pay is not a small crime!"

The King of Huainan said sarcastically: "Do you care? You are just living through the identity of Zhu Er. As long as you can maintain the strength of this king, won't it be easy for you to aspire to a high position in the future?"

Zhu Qian's eyes were full of struggle, and after a long time he replied coldly: "That old guy may not be willing to agree!"

A murderous intent flashed across King Huainan's face. He clenched his fists and said, "He must agree. You must write a confession and have him sign it. When the imperial envoy comes back from Huainan Mansion to verify the military register, he will hand it in together." The court!"

Zhu Qian said nothing more, turned around and left quickly.

As night falls, the seemingly peaceful capital has become turbulent.

Lin Ruoyou had already received a post from the dean of the Lady's Academy, inviting her to bring a painting to the Painting God Festival.

She scratched her head in confusion: "Mom, what's the origin of this Painting Festival?"

Fang swallowed a sour plum and said lazily: "I heard that a woman who is named the God of Painting will be respected and admired by women all over the world, and her works will be hung in the hall of the Noble Girl Academy for the world to worship. !”

Lin Ruoyou couldn't help but frown. In fact, she really had no ambition.

She doesn't want to be a model of a noble lady in the capital, she just wants to live her own clean and stable life.

It’s already very satisfying.

She said nonchalantly: "Then I won't participate. If I have the skills to draw, I might as well prepare a few more medicines to save people!"

Fang Wu agreed without hesitation: "You'er is right!"

However, almost as soon as Lin Ruoyou refused, the dean of the Lady's Academy came to invite him personally.

Fang Wu didn't dare to neglect, and quickly forced herself to receive her despite her physical discomfort.

It was also the first time that Lin Ruoyou met the dean of the Noble Girl Academy. As the late empress's biological sister, she had unparalleled dignity and momentum.

Even though her hair was gray, her back was still straight.

She said in a deep voice: "Miss Lin, when the late empress was still alive, she ordered that the noble ladies of the court must participate in the Painting God Festival, and only after obtaining excellent rankings can they marry into a famous family!"

Of course Lin Ruoyou remembered such a rule. In her previous life, Lin Ruoxi got Xiao Rui's extreme favor by achieving No. 1 results.

She was a warrior girl at the time and was not good at painting. Even though she relied on military power to marry Xiao Rui, she was always looked down upon.

She quietly suppressed the annoyance in her heart and retorted coldly: "According to the dean's wishes, if I don't participate in the Painting God Festival, I am not worthy of marrying the regent?"

The dean didn't expect that she would ask such a straightforward question. She was really unruly and uncultured!

If the noble girl next to her saw her, she would probably be so frightened that her liver would tremble.

After all, just one word from her can affect her future reputation and marriage.

However, this woman looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, which is really disgusting.

She squinted her eyes and replied: "Miss Lin misunderstood. I didn't mean it that way. However, marrying the regent with your status will probably cause dissatisfaction among many noble ladies!"

Lin Ruoyou sneered, after saying so much, don't you think she doesn't live up to her name?
