I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Chapter 19: You are recognized by the "Emperor" and your reputation is +3000!

"You came."

Jiang Linglong was startled when a faint voice came, then stopped and moved forward again.

When she came to the hall, she felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it.

Facing Lu Yuan, a ninth-grade county magistrate, she was a majestic emperor, so it was naturally impossible for her to salute.

Since ancient times, there has been no such thing as a king paying homage to his ministers.

But if you are not polite, you will think too highly of yourself and will easily offend Lu Yuan...

Lu Yuan blew tea and looked up at Jiang Linglong.

Jiang Linglong is dressed in a close-fitting palace dress, with a slim and well-shaped figure, neither too big nor too small, giving people a very coordinated feeling.

This dress was originally made by Lu Yuan for Ning Youruo. The blue and white porcelain pattern embroidered on it, in blue and white tones, combined with her young and fair face, made her already noble, more elegant and charming.

She is indeed an out-and-out beauty.

She does look a bit like her. The eyebrows, nose, and mouth are almost as if they were carved from the same mold. They are very similar to Ji Xinyue when she was young. For a moment, Lu Yuan felt like he had returned to more than thirty years ago.

However, compared to Ji Xinyue, Jiang Linglong is less quiet and more noble.

Jiang Linglong's heart tightened slightly as she was being looked at by Lu Yuan. She didn't dare to look at her. When she was confused, Lu Yuan said, "Sit down."

Jiang Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Yuan added, "You don't have to be so cautious, I'm not that scary."

I...am I scared?

Jiang Linglong was seen through and felt a little embarrassed, "I...I'm not afraid, I'm just..."

"Well, your name is Jiang Linglong, right? I've heard Youruo talk about you before. Oh, by the way, what Youruo said before was all Youruo's own initiative, not mine. You don't have to take it to heart. Speaking of which, Qingli and you have some connection, if you don’t mind, you can call me brother-in-law."

Lu Yuan did not expose Jiang Linglong's identity.

If exposed at this moment, it would undoubtedly make Jiang Linglong feel wary. She thought that she was trying to coerce the emperor to order the princes, but there was no need for this.

"..."

Although Jiang Linglong recognized Lu Yuan's identity, she couldn't say it.

But I was a little lucky to hear Lu Yuan say that he didn't have any interest in her.

Apart from being happy, there is also some indescribable loss.

This was not because of anything else, but simply because she felt that she was at a disadvantage compared to Lu Yuan's other wives. This made her, who was proud in her heart, somewhat frustrated, that's all.

He forced a smile, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "You are Concubine Ji's beloved daughter, right?"

"how do you know?"

Jiang Linglong was a little dumbfounded.

"Concubine Ji is a very talented person, and you are somewhat similar to her. Concubine Ji and I have some friendships. Don't be nervous. Let's have a cup of tea first."

Lu Yuan shook his head and chuckled, pointing to the steaming tea sitting next to him.

"There is a relationship between a mother and a queen? How come I haven't heard of it?"

Jiang Linglong's tense body relaxed a little. Judging from the brief contact, it seemed that Lu Yuan was not the evil person she imagined, and he did not recognize his identity, at least on the surface, and he had a relationship with her mother. , the fear and worry in my heart dissipated a lot unconsciously.

She slowly came to the side and sat down, her expression still a little reserved.

Looking at Jiang Linglong like this, it made Lu Yuan feel a little funny. What had the Emperor of Zhou experienced? How could he be so afraid of him?
Do you look that scary?
Shaking his head, Lu Yuan took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said slowly: "Linglong, I asked you here for no other reason. I also understand the current situation in Dazhou. The treacherous Prime Minister Su Quan is really treasonous. Damn it, I had a very bad relationship with him back then in the palace. He operated behind the scenes and relied on nepotism, turning the court into his own hall. Unfortunately, the late emperor did not listen to my advice..."

"Master Lu, this matter is all my fault. Father, he..."

Jiang Linglong said.

Lu Yuan waved his hand, "It's all in the past, that's all. I don't blame the late emperor. If it weren't for the late emperor, I'm afraid I might not be alive today."

These words are sincere. After all, if he hadn't come to Cangyun County, the system might not have been activated. How could he be where he is today?

However, this does not mean that he will be grateful to that faint king.

When Jiang Linglong heard this, she was greatly surprised. She raised her head and looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief.

But Lu Yuan looked calm and didn't look like he was lying.

She suddenly felt extremely guilty.She didn't expect that the royal family would treat Lu Yuan so badly, and that Lu Yuan would be so generous and not care about it at all. It was beyond her expectation...

Lu Yuan was much better than she imagined.

It seems that it is not unreasonable for Lu Yuan to win the favor of Sister Youruo and his third sister.

She didn't think these were mere words.

In Lu Yuan's eyes, she is just a princess who has fled in despair. She has no use value. She can't even coerce the emperor to order the princes. Why do you want to say good things to her?

"Linglong, I wonder where Concubine Xiao, Concubine Ji, and others are now?"

Concubine Ji, Concubine Xiao, is the biological mother of her and the third princess, Jiang Qingli.

The past is like smoke, but he is still very grateful to Ji Xinyue in his heart. Now that the world is in chaos, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been overthrown, and the harem is probably not in peace, he wants to repay Ji Xinyue's kindness to him back then.

Jiang Linglong looked slightly gloomy when she heard this, "When I left the palace, I was in a hurry. Now I don't know, but my mother is seriously ill. I'm afraid I don't have much time left..."

"Are you seriously ill? Why?"

Lu Yuan frowned.

"According to the imperial doctor, it was a hidden disease she had when she was young. She doesn't want to tell you what it is specifically."

Jiang Linglong shook her head, "Sir, I wonder if you can help Linglong rescue the queen mother?"

After saying that, she looked at Lu Yuan expectantly and looked very nervous.

She knew how dangerous it was in the palace, and how difficult it was to save people. It was as difficult as climbing to the sky...

But she had no other choice at the moment, only Lu Yuan could help her.

Lu Yuan looked troubled, "The palace is now controlled by the treacherous minister Su Quan. There are many masters in the palace, not to mention it is too far away from Cangyun County..."

Just when Jiang Linglong showed disappointment, Lu Yuan said again: "However, I am still a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty in name. Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty has forgotten me, I will always be a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even though I am only a small county magistrate. My abilities are limited, but I won’t sit idly by.”

"Concubine Ji treated me well back then. I am not an ungrateful person. Qingli's mother is still in the palace. If she learns this news, I am afraid she will have trouble sleeping and eating. I will do my best."

"Master Lu..."

Jiang Linglong suddenly stood up, feeling shocked and deeply guilty.

Mr. Lu’s pattern...

It’s rare in the world.

What's ridiculous is that Dazhou had failed him so much.

She secretly swore in her heart that if she could make a comeback and recapture the Zhou Dynasty in her lifetime, she would make Lu Yuan the first king with a different surname.

Regardless of ability or character, they are all too noble.

This was something she had never dared to think about before. Ever since she met Lu Yuan, she felt that Lu Yuan was a bit difficult to get in touch with, and she didn't know how to say these words.

But now it seems that I am overthinking it.

[You are recognized by the "Emperor", reputation +1000]

The system prompt flashed suddenly, and Lu Yuan was startled.

He originally just wanted to use Jiang Linglong's identity to be more legitimate, but he never thought that he would have such a harvest.

A thousand reputations is not low!
Compared to the beginning, more aristocratic families have been eliminated, which is really an unexpected surprise.

It seems that the way to gain reputation is not limited to popular support.

Lu Yuan remained calm and continued: "Don't worry, you are one of the few relatives your third sister has in this world. If there is a chance, I will send someone to rescue Concubine Ji and reunite you mother and daughter."

[You are grateful to the "Emperor" and your reputation will be +1000! 】

and also?

Lu Yuan was surprised. Two thousand reputations were enough for him to upgrade his domain to level two!

He continued to speak, "Now the troubled times are about to begin. The world is in chaos, all life is in ruins, the people are in dire straits, and the emperor is nowhere to be found. Linglong, as the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you should shoulder the important responsibility of recovering the Great Zhou Dynasty. I know that this matter It is a big test for you, but now that things have happened, you cannot regard yourself as a woman who should stand up and save the people from the fire and water. As the magistrate of Dazhou, I am willing to help you."

Jiang Linglong's eyes widened as she looked at Lu Yuan with a sincere face, unable to believe her ears.

[You are recognized by the "Emperor" and your reputation is +3000! 】
