Secretariat, official office.

The yamen runner walked into the public hall with dinner, "Sir, it's time to have a meal."

"Let's go." Lu Yuzhou leaned on the back of the chair and pinched his eyebrows. He had been busy recently and had not rested for a long time. He would take a break tomorrow. He wanted to finish the official documents in his hand and have a good rest tomorrow.

At the third hour of Xu, the servant of the Duke's mansion knocked on the door and walked in, "Criminal, Princess Mingyue Princess is here to visit the mansion today. Madam wants you to go back early."

Before Lu Yuzhou looked up, he brushed Zhao's meaning, "I just said I was too busy and I won't go back."

The servant of the door scratched his head, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Lu Yuzhou wrote a pen and reviewed the official documents, "If you have something to do, say it."

Because he had a good personal relationship with Baoshan, the servant of the door stuttered: "Rong Xiao said many words, the Emperor Mingyue seemed to be coming to Baoshan."

The man's writing movements stuttered and said lightly: "I understand."

The servant waited for a while, but did not realize that the master wanted to go back to his house, so he sighed and left.

Duke's Mansion.

Baoshan waited beside Zhao, without raising her eyes throughout the whole process.

Zhao intentionally matched Lu Yuzhou and Zhao Xuelan, but was afraid that Zhao Xuelan would not want to give in to Lu Yuzhou because of her proud nature, so she barely suppressed Baoshan's sleeping service. She said that the night was not yet completed, and Lu Yuzhou sent Baoshan out.

But Zhao Xuelan is not so easy to fool. She took a sip of tea and her eyes were locked on Baoshan, who had been lowering her head, "Raise her head."

With a huge gap in identity, Baoshan had to kneel in front of her and raise her little face like a disaster.

Zhao Xuelan raised his hand with tortoiseshell armor, hooked Baoshan's chin, and looked at it carefully. The woman's eyebrows were as beautiful as daisy feathers and her lips were as red cherry as red cherry. She was filled with a natural charm in the tranquility, as beautiful as smoke, not like a mortal. There was no one of the three thousand beauties in the palace who could compare to Baoshan's beauty.

"It's her." Zhao Xuelan smiled faintly and shaved Baoshan's cheek with the pointed head of her armor. "I only know what 'beautiful and unscrupulous' means today. Look at this look, and she looks innocent."

Zhao smiled, "I was only staying by my side because of her good color and quiet color."

The Emperor of Mingyue was in charge of the intelligence agency of the Imperial City Department. He was cruel and did not inferior to a man. He thought he was a murderer without blinking.

Seeing that her armor was crooked, Baoshan deliberately helped her straighten her, and her sleeves slid down, revealing the gorgeous geological sand.

Zhao Xuelan and Zhao were both stunned, especially Zhao, who silently sighed at Baoshan's self-protection ability.

"Look at the princess, what am I saying? My prince is pure and has no desires and never gets into women. That night, he really had no choice but to choose her to serve her, but the prince still held back. Such a man with a purity is hard to find with a lantern."

Zhao Xuelan's face cleared a little.

Zhao pulled Baoshan, "Don't kneel down, get up."

Baoshan was about to get up when she suddenly heard a question: "What's the red mark on your neck?"

Baoshan pointed to the little yellow dog running around the house, "It was licked."

The little yellow dog bit his tail and barked, not knowing that he was taking the blame.

Zhao Xuelan tilted her head, and she was unable to tell her emotions. "Get up."

Baoshan breathed a sigh of relief and retreated behind Zhao.

After a while, Cui'er came to pass the message, saying that the prince had returned to his house and went directly to Meizhiyuan. Zhao sent someone to invite him. After half a stick of incense, Lu Yuzhou walked over in a white robe, and his graceful figure was like a green pine under the moon.

The embroidered guards bowed to greet each other, but Lu Yuzhou's face was indifferent and ignored it.

Although the Imperial City Department is a trusted institution of the government, when it comes to true nature, who can compare with the status of the upstart Lu Yuzhou in the hearts of the government?

The eldest maid Chen He presented a cover bowl, "Criminal, this is Longjing brought back by the Emperor from Jiangnan. The wife specially asked me to brew a pot. Please taste it."

Lu Yuzhou glanced at the tea leaf floating in the cup, but did not receive it.

The atmosphere was a bit stiff, and Zhao was busy trying to smooth things over and asked Chen He to urge the kitchen to start dinner.

Zhao Xuelan curled her lips and a deep meaning appeared on her face with clear edges. She glanced at Baoshan beside her and said, "Go to serve tea to the prince."

As a princess with real power, she is used to being domineering and does not know how to follow the guests. She often turns to the guests and controls the right to speak.

Zhao frowned slightly, feeling dissatisfied, but she still looked at Baoshan with a smile, "Stop, didn't you hear the Emperor's order?"

Baoshan walked over and handed it to Lu Yuzhou with hot tea in his hand, "Please, Prince."

The tea soup is hot, and it will become hot after holding it for a while. Baoshan turned her back to the two of them, raised her head slightly, and looked at Lu Yuzhou with a request.

Lu Yuzhou took the cover bowl and placed it on the corner table.

Baoshan retreated, but Emperor Mingyue seemed to have a strong heart and called Baoshan, "Come to my side."

Baoshan walked over, "What's the emperor's words...ah..."

Before she could finish her questioning, Zhao Xuelan grabbed her neck and asked with a smile: "How is it going to put a native dog into the house without the permission of his master?!"

The opponent's hand was extremely strong, Baoshan tightened her eyebrows and her breathing was blocked.

Zhao Xuelan looked at Lu Yuzhou opposite, and with temptation and competition, he tightened his right hand little by little, and held a fierce curve on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Yuzhou looked quietly, as if he was looking at strangers and wild people, with no turmoil in his eyes.

It's strange. He is obviously warm and clear and upright, but there is always a bit of coldness and mercy between his eyebrows and eyes. No one seems to be able to touch his heart, and therefore he has no weaknesses and is invincible.

Zhao Xuelan once wanted to pull him off the clouds several times to let him experience his emotions and desires, but he learned that he favored other women, and his jealousy burst into tears, and he wanted to let him be independent of the world and not be contaminated by the moon.

The little yellow dog, who had been briefly protected by Baoshan, ran over and bit Zhao Xuelan's skirt, and was kicked away by her, and fell to Lu Yuzhou's feet with her belly rolling over.

The little yellow dog whined a few times and nestled under Lu Yuzhou's chair.

Zhao, who was standing beside him, was trembling with anxiety, "What's the matter? Let go quickly, what should I do if I get someone's life?"

Zhao Xuelan didn't listen to advice at all, and the corners of her mouth gradually became flat, and even her fingernails appeared.

Baoshan was breathing poorly, and her soul was distracted. She suddenly heard a "bang" sound, followed by the sound of porcelain broken.

Lu Yuzhou threw the covered bowl full of hot tea on the back of Zhao Xuelan pinching Baoshan's hand. Zhao Xuelan suffered a pain and relieved her strength.

Baoshan covered her neck and stepped back, coughed a few times, and watched Zhao Xuelan stand up angrily. At the same time, her back was supported by a warm big hand.

Zhao Xuelan was extremely tall among women, but she still only reached Lu Yuzhou's chin. One of them was as bright as fire and the other was as beautiful as spring breeze. But in the aura, the anger was swallowed by the spring breeze.

Lu Yuzhou glanced at the girl beside him, and a hint of pity appeared in his calm eyes. He picked her up and met Zhao Xuelan's sharp eyes. "The imperial city department must have the approval of the official family to capture prisoners, but the emperor hurts people for no reason in our mansion. Where is the king's law?!"

"The Imperial City Department is the king's law!"

"Then you have to see if the Secretariat agrees!"

The two of them faced the wheat heads, and the embroidered guards outside the door immediately drew their swords. In their consciousness, Zhao Xuelan's instructions were greater than the sky.

But Lu Yuzhou's title of powerful minister was not a false reputation. While the embroidered guard drew his sword, many hidden guards flashed in the mansion, and two groups of people raised their swords to face each other.

Zhao's eyes widened, and had never been completely controlled by Lu Yuzhou in his mansion.

"Why did you suddenly hurt your kindness? Let them put down your knife." Zhao persuaded him back and forth, but when he saw Lu Yuzhou not getting in, he could only wink at Zhao Xuelan and whisper: "Don't forget your original intention, the more you do this, the more you will push Zijun away."

Zhao Xuelan knew that he couldn't swallow this breath. It would be fine if the official girl Mu Yao was in front of him. Now, when he was making a fuss with her for a maid, he spread the news, where would she put her face?

But I can't bear to do anything to him!

She looked at her guards, "A bunch of idiots, who asked you to draw your sword? Take it back!"

The embroidered guards took the Tang sword back into their scabbards.

Seeing that this side was weakened, Zhao hurriedly went to persuade the other side, "Zijun, don't cause trouble when you look at Wei Niang's pregnancy?"

Lu Yuzhou glanced at her belly, with a little sarcastic in his eyes, and he hugged Baoshan with expressionless face, "The Prince of Xiang's Mansion does not welcome the emperor, so he will not send him off if he walks slowly."

Zhao Xuelan clenched her fists tightly.

When he walked into Meizhiyuan with Baoshan in his arms, he caught a glimpse of a figure and a little yellow dog waving his tail.

Baoshan jumped off his arm and picked up the little yellow dog. She knew very well that after this incident, she had become a thorn in Zhao Xuelan's eyes and a thorn in her flesh. She might encounter many troubles in the future.

He felt worried and thanked him: "Thank you, my master, for helping me."

Lu Yuzhou leaned against the trunk of the locust tree beside him and dusted the wrinkles on his clothes, "Don't thank me, your life will not be very easy in the future."

Zhao Xuelan is the most domineering woman in Bianjing. She is decisive and cruel. She dares to contradict the official family and is favored by the official family. If she offended such a person, Baoshan would not have a good life.

The woman was sad under the moon and lowered her head and rubbed the fat belly of the little yellow dog.

Lu Yuzhou glanced at the figure hiding in the corner again, turned the jade ring on his thumb, "How about you try to beg me."

Baoshan raised her eyes and looked at the man's delicate eyebrows and eyes. She didn't know how to answer for a moment. If she didn't ask for him, there seemed to be no other way, "How should I ask for it?"

The woman's voice is naturally soft and delicate, and Lu Yuzhou raised her finger and signaled her to get closer.

Baoshan walked up with the little yellow dog in his arms, and Lu Yuzhou slowly said, "Like Mu Yao, make a deal with me. Please help me make Zhao Xuelan give up. I will help you get the contract for sale and a gift from the mansion house with a silver pattern."

At the beginning, the reason why Zhao Xuelan gave up pursuing Lu Yuzhou was because her self-esteem did not allow her to like a man who had another woman in her heart. Now, this love has rekindled and the offensive against Lu Yuzhou has also made a comeback. But Lu Yuzhou knew that Zhao Xuelan's self-esteem was her fatal weakness. It is better to slap her weakness than to slash her sharpness.

Baoshan murmured, "Do you use the same trick again?"

The man did not deny it and asked with a smile: "How?"

"Can I leave that day when she gives up?"

"nature."

Baoshan took a step forward and "deal."

Lu Yuzhou's eyes were smiling, and his smile was cold, reminding him: "Zhao Xuelan's eyeliner is right behind your left, what should you do?"

Baoshan was silent, looking at his thin lips, his eyelids trembled slightly, "Then you lower your weight, I can't touch it."

Lu Yuzhou didn't know her intention and leaned over to approach her.

As the distance got closer, Baoshan grabbed the hem of her skirt, suddenly stood on tiptoe, and raised her head to kiss his lips.
Chapter completed!
