Xu Zisheng thought about it and wanted to say something, but he felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, it was just as Li Jiulang said, it was really difficult to guess what a madman would do.
But Xu Zisheng immediately asked: "How about I go down?"
Although he didn't say anything, Li Jiulang shook his head and said, "Li Nishang knows that you are a thorn in my side, so let her continue to think so. If you are too proactive, she will be suspicious."
"When Xianghong sends you a message again, tell them that the conversation between His Majesty and I that day was about Xingyue entering the palace today, and also about Xingyue going to the Palace Administration Department."
Xu Zisheng nodded: "I understand."
Li Jiulang said nothing more, but handed a written memorial beside him to Xu Zisheng.
Xu Zisheng took it, opened it and read it.
Then he looked at Li Jiulang with a stunned expression: "Prime Minister, are we going to send this up?"
Li Jiulang nodded: "Yes. But I won't send you for now."
Xu Zisheng frowned and said, "It's true that we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but if the Queen Mother and the Grand Tutor team up, it will be difficult to deal with. Besides, I'm afraid our position will be a little bit..."
Li Jiulang smiled and said, "My girl knows the phrase 'risky move' and even marked it. Why are you so timid now?"
Xu Zisheng frowned.
Li Jiulang said, "Let's not talk about that. Xingyue was dressed like that this morning. I don't know how she is now. And you can see that the idioms marked are not commonly used by us. The characters are also very uncommon. I don't know if she will make a fool of herself after entering."
At the end, he smiled helplessly.
Xu Zisheng looked worried, but seeing Li Jiulang like this, he didn't know what to say.
But thinking about Li Xingyue coming to him with this book yesterday to ask about the characters, he couldn't help but smile: "After all, I thought Miss Chang'an would definitely find out."
Li Jiulang shook his head helplessly: "That girl hopes to study more with Miss Chang'an after entering the palace as a female official. She just thinks about not bringing shame to me and the Li family. I don't know where all these ideas come from."
Xu Zisheng smiled and said, "It's also for filial piety."
Hearing this
Li Jiulang smiled and said, "That child is actually quite good, but he had to pretend that he hated her. Why is he so thoughtful?"
At this time, a steward from the palace stood at the gate of the courtyard and said, "Prime Minister, someone claiming to be Zhao Xiaojia wants to see you."
Hearing this, Xu Zisheng looked at Li Jiulang.
Li Jiulang said with a smile, "You're really here, have you brought any money?"
The steward shook his head: "He came empty-handed, alone."
Li Jiulang immediately said, "Tell him that the Protector-General of the Imperial Guards will receive one million taels of gold, and the Deputy Protector-General will receive six hundred thousand taels of gold."
The steward was stunned for a moment, but still turned around and left respectfully.
I just took a deep breath in my heart. It was the first time I saw the master publicly offer a price, and it was so high.
but
As the steward left, Li Jiulang thought to Xu Zisheng, "Please go tell Zhao Xiaojia that if he wants to take his soldiers from the Yunyang County Cavalry Battalion with him, he will need eight million taels of silver, and gold."
Xu Zisheng wanted to say something but hesitated, but finally bowed and turned to leave.

Ps: I have something to do at home, so I'm sorry that the update is over.
Chapter 79 Tonight, the Empress Cooks
It was already afternoon when 'Big Pillow Li' Li Xingyue left Lingqi Pavilion.
Watching the carriage that Li Xingyue was riding in leave.
Su Changan turned around and returned to the yard, thinking that the daughters of wealthy families have their own worries, and those of poor backgrounds have their own worries.
It does prove the saying that as long as one is alive, there will always be worries.
But Su Changan thought about it.
Whether or not to worry seems to vary from person to person.
But Su Changan didn't think about it too much. What's the point of thinking about it? It would only make him bored. It would be enough to just sigh occasionally.
After seeing Li Xingyue off, it’s about time for me to practice calligraphy.
Su Changan looked at the cat: "Cat?"
Maomao raised his eyes to look at Su Changan, but seemed to know what Su Changan wanted him to do, and said: "You can let me practice calligraphy with you, but don't let me see it. You write so ugly and yet you insist on asking me to see it, saying that it has become better. Do you have any shame?"
Su Changan thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
Maomao looked at Su Changan suspiciously, wondering if he should just refuse.
then
Su Changan and Maomao walked towards the study.
But only after entering the study did Su Changan say, "Look, what I'm going to copy today is this calligraphy. I think the words I write today will definitely look good. I'll show it to you later."
The cat wants to escape.
But he found the door was locked and could only look at Su Changan coldly. He remembered this grudge.
Xuan Xia and the others went about their business. After all, Miss Li Xingyue had brought so many medicinal herbs and other things, and they all needed to be sorted.
Naturally, the medicinal materials will be moved to the cat's room.
but
Regarding moving the medicinal materials to Mao Mao's room, Xun Xia and others were extremely hesitant, and finally Xun Xia was chosen by drawing lots.
It’s not that they have any problem with cats or anything, on the contrary, they like cats very much.
but
There were either bugs, geckos, or even dead toads in the cat's room. It was really difficult to get them to go to the cat's room.
Zhou Qianhong glanced at the study, thought for a moment, and then looked at Yan Ruyu: "Deputy Commander, do you want to inform His Majesty of these things?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "His Majesty said that there is no need to report today's events."
Zhou Qianhong nodded, but thought for a moment: "But although Miss Changan and Miss Xingyue did not have any physical contact today, they did have some verbal contact."
Speaking of here
After thinking about it suddenly, Zhou Qianhong discovered that Su Changan seemed to be so gentle to many people, there were just some small differences depending on the circumstances.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qianhong clasped his fists towards Yan Ruyu and said, "I was worrying too much."
Yan Ruyu nodded, but glanced at the study.
I remembered that Li Xingyue just called Su Changan "Sister Changan".
Su Changan also told Li Xingyue that she could use rouge, but her skin was fair, so she could just apply a little pink on the freckles. He also taught Li Xingyue other makeup techniques.
Also, the scene where Su Changan teaches Li Xingyue how to make improved shortbread, etc.
Think of these
Yan Ruyu sighed and looked at Su Changan who had picked up a pen and started practicing calligraphy. She wondered whether she should tell Su Changan to go to His Majesty and admit her mistake herself.
Otherwise, His Majesty will lose his temper.
Yan Ruyu.
worry!
……
On the carriage, there was a food box next to Li Xingyue. In it naturally were the shortbreads that Su Changan had given her. As for the two small boxes next to it, they were the rouge made by Su Changan, which were also given to Li Xingyue.
Li Xingyue was in a good mood. Although she thought that she pretended to be a scholar in there, she was exposed and embarrassed at the beginning.
But I thought about what Su Changan said to me.
She threw away all those embarrassing things, and she also felt that if she was not embarrassed and her pretending was successful, she might not be so close to Su Changan.
Changan Sister
Thinking of the name, Li Xingyue pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
However, when he saw the nanny sitting opposite him looking at him and smiling, he immediately coughed.
But after thinking of something, he looked at the maid and asked, "Mammy, do you know what Si Wuxie is?"
This old nanny is the one who watched Li Xingyue grow up. Now that she is old, she has been kept in the Li Mansion and rarely comes out to serve others.
However, this time when Li Xingyue got into trouble, Li Jiulang still asked this person to come out and take care of her.
When the old nanny heard Li Xingyue's question, she smiled and said, "Miss, you are joking. How can someone like me understand such a scholarly statement?"
Li Xingyue smiled slightly: "Sister Chang'an said that a young girl's thoughts are innocent. She asked me to go back and talk to my father, and then decide whether I should put on a different face in the future. She also said that the way I am now is good enough."
When the old nanny heard this, she was stunned. She had only heard what people outside said about Su Changan. Today, she just took a look at him and then waited in the carriage.
But now that she heard her young lady say this, she thought about it. She didn't understand the big principles, but since she mentioned the young lady's original appearance, it was good.
So thinking about it, this Miss Chang'an must be a young lady worthy of respect.
but
The old lady looked at Li Xingyue's expression, thought for a moment and then jokingly said, "Miss, are you in love?"
Li Xingyue was stunned and didn't understand for a moment, but when she thought about it carefully, her face turned red: "Mammy, what nonsense are you talking about! How can I like it!"
When thinking this, Su Changan's beautiful face appeared in his mind, and then he said, "We have only met three times, how can I fall in love with him? And the person I want to find must be a man. I am the only one in the Li family now, so I must find a man to marry into the family. How can I learn from other families with many children and not think about these things? And the person I want to find must be educated, otherwise, if I can't read, I won't be able to teach my children to read in the future."
"And you have to be caring, be able to help your father, and most importantly, know a few strange things to make me laugh."
Speaking of here
Li Xingyue was stunned for a moment, and after thinking carefully, she seemed to be talking about Su Changan, but when she thought of Su Changan being a girl, she sighed: "Oh, it would be better if it was a boy."
But after saying that, she looked at the nanny and smiled: "She is just a sister now."
As she said this, Li Xingyue thought of how Su Changan was particularly polite to her today. Although she loved him very much, it was just like today.
