Author: I am hopelessly handsome

Liu Piaopiao turned her body to look at Liu Wenlan at the right time. With a shy smile on her face: "Thank you, second sister, for giving me the hairpin."

Liu Wenlan stood up naturally and responded to Liu Piaopiao's gratitude. The wind was a bit stronger at night. Her clothes were flying and her body was thin. She stood upright like a jade bamboo. She looked sick but had an unyielding character. She raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ji,

Seeing that the other party returned the gaze at this time, he smiled tactfully.

"I see that Piao Piao is quite plain on weekdays, and she doesn't know how to dress up. I happened to get this hairpin, and I think it should match my sister very well. Sure enough, it makes her lively."

After saying that, Liu Wenlan no longer looked at Lu Ji. Instead, she stared at Liu Piaopiao, truly looking like sisters.

There was no other way, Liu Piaopiao could only follow the show. She laughed so hard that her cheeks were a little sore, and the person in the seat finally spoke. He first praised Liu Wenlan's skillful craftsmanship, and then praised Liu Piaopiao's liveliness and agility. She was holding a cup that was soaked in rain and dew.

Watertight.

Lu Ji waved his hand and gave the two of them wine, not forgetting Liu Yufu who was wringing her handkerchiefs at the side.

Looking at the three sisters of the Liu family, the most graceful one is Liu Yufu. She is also the Queen and Liu Yirong's favorite candidate for the crown princess. But Lu Ji does not want to marry now, and it seems that besides Liu Yufu, Liu Wenlan also

Some are ready to move.

Lu Ji knew that if he wanted to ascend to Dabao, he could not do without Zhongshu Ling's support.

He changed the subject and mentioned Liu Yufu, who was sulking aside. The girl's eyes lit up instantly.

"My mother misses Yu Fu very much lately."

Liu Yufu, who was gritting her teeth just now, suddenly relaxed her brows and smiled, her bright eyes glowing like a deer.

"Then Yu Fu will go to the palace to accompany her aunt in two days."

Lu Ji nodded: "Tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, I will go to the palace to pay my respects. You and I will come together."

Liu Yufu felt relieved and said, "Okay, please give me a lift, please."

Lu Ji smiled: "It's not a problem."

Liu Piaopiao could clearly see from below that Lu Ji had been holding his clothes under the table for almost half an hour. It showed that he was very irritable now and did not relax until he discussed state affairs with Liu Yirong.

The coconut cake was greasy in her throat. I don’t know which cook was so honest. Liu Piaopiao drank several sips of sweet wine before she calmed down. She smacked her lips and felt that this wine was much sweeter than the one in the morning. She looked around.

, Liu Yufu started looking for words again as before. Every time she interrupted, Lu Ji had to twist his clothes and respond to her with a smile. For this reason, Liu Piaopiao always felt that Lu Ji's smile was

There was a hint of impatience in him.

Liu Wenlan is much smarter. She doesn't speak, and only occasionally expresses some opinions when Lu Ji and Liu Yirong discuss state affairs. For example, when the floods in Yizhou are mentioned, Liu Wenlan will say: "I think you can ask Gu Yanshu for advice. After all,

He performed very well in controlling the floods in Jingzhou, didn't he?"

As expected, Lu Ji glanced at Liu Wenlan a few more times.

"What the second lady said is that I will consider it."

Liu Wenlan smiled shyly: "I just said casually, it would be best if I can help His Highness."

"Your suggestion is very good."

Liu Piaopiao saw Lu Ji praising Liu Wenlan, and Liu Yufu beside her was so anxious that she almost jumped up. She winked at Liu Qian several times but received no response.

"why are you laughing?"

Oops, it was discovered.

Liu Piaopiao swallowed the coconut cake in her throat and felt relieved.

"The coconut cake is so delicious, I just laughed."

Liu Yufu rolled her eyes, suddenly pointed at Liu Piaopiao and said, "Your Highness, Liu Piaopiao has a better way!"

The head is big, very big.

Even though today was a family banquet, Lu Ji couldn't do anything to stab someone behind his back. But if a minister's daughter made arrogant remarks about state affairs, if word got out, it would be hard for someone to make a fuss about it.

Liu Piaopiao felt that the coconut cake was clogged in her chest and she couldn't breathe. She quietly raised her eyes to look at Lu Ji, but accidentally met her eyes again. The other party asked her to just say whatever suggestions she had, even Liu Yirong, who was always serious, now

Zi also waited for her to speak kindly.

How can one be virtuous and capable?

Unable to get off the tiger, Liu Piaopiao gritted her teeth and spoke.

"My daughter feels that although Gu Yanshu is very good at controlling floods, the terrain in Jingzhou is flat, and floods are mostly caused by sufficient rainfall that causes rivers to overflow. Therefore, it is enough to build dams to dredge the water. Yizhou is mostly covered with mountains and rivers, and during the rainy season,

Mudslides occur frequently, and water conservancy dredging is difficult. Gu Yanshu may not be able to do it. Another Jingzhou is rich in the south, and Yizhou is a remote place where snakes, insects, rats and ants are rampant, which is far less prosperous than Jingzhou. If you are transferred rashly, you will inevitably feel resentful."

There was suddenly silence all around. Liu Piaopiao bravely raised her head to see Lu Ji with a solemn expression, knowing that she was on to the point. Lu Ji may not have known it, but she didn't know if she would displease him if she said so much.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and it is not good to be too right. What if someone doesn't like you trying to figure out his thoughts?

"In my humble opinion, Your Highness, please don't take it to heart."

Looking again, Lu Ji grabbed the hem of his clothes fiercely.

Liu Piaopiao's heart was in her throat again.

With clear black and white eyes staring at her, Liu Piaopiao swallowed hard and finally waited for Lu Ji's response.

"Miss Wu is very knowledgeable about the court."

Liu Piaopiao suddenly turned pale. She benefited from her previous life when Zhou Wen was an upright official and became Taichang. She knew that there was a great eunuch in Yizhou, Wang Fengtian, the water supervisor of the capital who first controlled the floods.

It was only at this time that Liu Piaopiao realized that she had made a big mistake. She could understand the court, but she could only understand it any deeper. Even if she knew, she had to hide her tail and not let others take advantage of her.

Especially in front of the center of power, understanding too thoroughly will only lead to death.

Liu Piaopiao knelt down in fear. The damn knee bore the unbearable weight of her life, and the pain made Liu Piaopiao's eyes water.

"My daughter dare not."

Lu Ji was still staring at her, and there was a faint smell of blood in the silence. After a long time, he spoke.

There was a bit of astringency in his hoarse voice, as if his saliva had dried up after working together for a long time. It seemed that he was a lot more thoughtful.

It shouldn't be said here that there is a rule in this dynasty that women are not allowed to discuss the court. Liu Wenlan only mentioned it a little bit, but Liu Piaopiao broke the issue and put it on the stage.

"Such a smart person should become a female official in the palace."

He chose to give Liu Yirong a reassurance, letting him know that he didn't mind the other party's daughter discussing court affairs because they were absolute allies.

Lu Ji waved his hand and asked Liu Piaopiao to sit down: "Look at you, your face is pale with fright."

I really didn't expect that she was quite insightful. But who should she use if she didn't have to worry about the banquet book? Lu Ji couldn't think of it. Officials who were far away from the court and served outside were more difficult to control than those in the capital.

Liu Piaopiao breathed a long sigh of relief and said nothing next time. She looked across the way, and sure enough, Liu Yufu's face turned pale with fright.

"Liu Piaopiao, you really dare to say that, if someone else is sitting here, do you know that you will be beheaded?"

She knew that she was grateful to Lu Ji for his kindness.
