Chapter 262

It didn't take long for Shen Qinglan to lie down, and as soon as she fell asleep, she felt that there was someone beside her.

A pair of warm hands held her hand, and gently caressed her face.

She slowly opened her eyes, only to see Zhao Shun, dressed in a dark blue brocade, sitting on the head of her bed, with longing eyes.

"Why did you come back?"

Shen Qinglan sat up with her arms propped up, Zhao Shun smiled, and was about to pull her into her arms, but she avoided her.

"What are you doing? Don't touch me..."

Zhao Shun withdrew his outstretched hand, lowered his eyes slightly, "I'm sorry... I know you haven't opened your heart, but I'm too impatient. I came back today just to see you."

Shen Qinglan couldn't help feeling a little funny, did she really look so hypocritical?
What to open the heart knot, then the heart knot is too slow to open.

She didn't resist contact with Zhao Shun, it's just that there must be a compensation and an explanation for the past, and it can't just go by. It seems that she is too easy to bully, so she deliberately doesn't get close to him.

"Zhao Shun, although Zhao Yi drugged you last time, you still hurt me after all, so you don't intend to show your attitude?" Shen Qinglan pretended to be serious.

"Statement?" Zhao Shun was a little confused.

"In the past, you just said sorry verbally without any sincerity, so don't you want to apologize sincerely?" Shen Qinglan asked.

Zhao Shun smiled, got up and stood in front of Shen Qinglan's bed, raised his robe and knelt on one knee, clasped his fists in both hands, and said: "This subordinate was killed by a traitor and accidentally injured the princess. Please forgive me for my unintentional actions." Pass."

Shen Qinglan was stunned, in fact, she just wanted Zhao Shun to give her some money so that she could buy more good furniture in Jiaming Ju, and it was difficult for her to speak when he did this.

"Okay, okay, get up, let people see what it looks like!"

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, Zhao Shun still refused to get up, until she got out of bed and helped him up personally, and then he hugged him by the waist and pressed him on the bed.

"Princess, is the injury you got better last time?" Zhao Shun asked with a smile.

"Ah? Not yet." Shen Qinglan shook her head repeatedly.

"Really? It's been so long and it's still not healed. Let Wei Fu check it out for you."

"no!"

"My majestic regent, I have knelt down for you, are you still not satisfied? If I let others know in the future, I can't even sleep in the bed of my own princess, how can I gain a foothold in the court and suppress the officials?" Zhao Shun's voice Extremely gentle.

Shen Qinglan turned his head away, Zhao Shun lowered his head, and whispered in her ear again: "We have already missed the good time of the wedding night in the bridal chamber, it's not good, we make mistakes again and again."

The temperature he exhaled was hot and numb, making her ears itchy, and unintentionally, the two of them moved closer.

"Sisi..."

Early the next morning, when Shen Qinglan woke up, Zhao Shun had already left.

Thinking of everything that happened last night, she couldn't help but blush.

After experiencing him being as violent as a devil that night, she was very resistant in her heart.

Only now do I know how good he is.

"Princess, are you awake? Butler Zhang just came to ask, what kind of flowers and trees do you plan to plant in Jiaming Residence, and who will write the plaque of Jiaming Residence?" Yan'er said.

Shen Qinglan sighed, "Alas... This garden is the residence of the prince of the former Northern Territory. Not to mention the flowers and plants, the trees are even old trees. They were all destroyed by a fire. It hurts to think about it."

"That's right, it's a pity that there were many rare trees in Jiamingju." Yan'er also sighed.

"Then plant some phoenix trees, begonias, acacias, pear trees, and plum blossoms. Let the gardener look at the arrangement." Shen Qinglan got out of bed as she said.

Yan'er wanted to dress her, so she took the clothes directly and put them on her body one by one.

"At this time of year, planting trees is not easy, is it?" Shen Qinglan said.

"The craftsmen didn't mention it, so they probably don't know it. By the way, miss, who should I ask to write the plaque? There are many famous calligraphers in the capital, why don't you ask the second son to come out and find a famous calligrapher?" Yan'er said.

Shen Qinglan smiled, "Who else are you going to invite? Let the second brother write it. The second brother's calligraphy is as smooth as those of those calligraphers. Moreover, the second brother's Lan calligraphy is the best, so let him do it." Let's write."

Yan'er also sighed with a smile, shook her head and said: "I'm really confused too... I forgot the Second Young Master, and the Second Young Master is right next door, so why should we hire some calligrapher? Find someone to return to Second Young Master."

"Forget it, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is busy recently, and the second brother should go to the office now, and send someone to talk about it when he comes back in the evening. Hmm... You should go there in person, just say what I told you, and let the second brother write whatever you want Just write it, don't bother with me to practice, it will consume too much ink and rice paper." Shen Qinglan said.

"If Second Young Master accepts this job, he will definitely strive to be perfect, and your persuasion is useless." Yan'er laughed.

"makes sense."

In Qinxian Hall, Zhao Shun was dealing with official business.

Qin Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, took the nearly three-year examination of hundreds of officials and handed it over to Murong Duan.

Murong Duan held the assessment book and handed it over to Zhao Shun, but Zhao Shun didn't answer it, so he put it directly on the table.

"Master Qin, if you have nothing else to do, you should step back first." Zhao Shun said.

"Prince Regent, this assessment is only for officials in the capital. It will take some time for the lower officials to sort out the assessment of officials from all over the country that you want," Qin Chong said.

"Your Majesty Qin is high-ranking and busy, so I won't bother you with this trivial matter. The King has already sent Zhou Kunyan, a member of the Ministry of Officials, to deal with it. Your Majesty Qin only needs to take care of the official affairs in the capital." Zhao Shun said.

"Yes."

Qin Chong left with an uneasy expression on his face.

They Qin family and Xue family have always been friends, and they have old grudges with Shen family and Wang family.

Now that King Bin has become the regent, and he has avenged his personal revenge, his position as servant may not be guaranteed.

Judging from the situation, the regent intends to support Zhou Yankun to replace him.

"My lord, the Qin family and the Shen family had a grudge. Now that you openly let Yuanwailang Yuezu take over, this... Qin must be careful, and I'm afraid it will be bad for you. There are already many officials in the court who have expressed dissatisfaction with your governance." Murong Duan said.

"This king will be afraid of him?" Zhao Shun sneered, not caring at all.

Seeing this, Murong Duan couldn't continue to say anything, Zhao Shun thought about it, and said: "Go and ask Liu Rulin to come over."

"Yes."

When Liu Rulin came to Qinxian Hall, it was almost noon.

"My subordinate Liu Rulin, see the Regent."

"No gift, sit down."

Zhao Shun stood up, took a booklet and walked to Liu Rulin's side, and sat beside him.

"Look at this."

"Is this... the tax books of the provinces?"

Liu Rulin was taken aback after reading it, "The account is so messed up that the Ministry of Accounting has handed it over just like that."

Zhao Shun sighed, "When the first emperor was here, the Ministry of Households did not dare to act so boldly. But it can be seen that the tax collection has a long history of abuses. Brother Liu, now you are working in the Ministry of Rites. Is the household department interested?"
