Chapter 89: Taking office
On this day, the wind was sunny and cloudless. Zheng Lei led a soldier to stand respectfully at the gate of Yuncheng City, looking forward to it, as if waiting for someone.
The sun shone brightly, and the cloud city was near the north, and the temperature was still very high. Sweat flowed down Zheng Lei's forehead, but Zheng Lei did not find anyone to hide the shade or rest for a while, and still stood there respectfully. Seeing that the city lord was so serious, the soldiers behind him did not dare to slack off, and stood straight one by one.
Today, the person Zheng Lei was going to greet was Liuli. The matter in Yuncheng mine was exposed, but at the instruction of the third prince, all the credit was taken on him. Although he was still the lord of Yuncheng City, a military weapon city would be greater than an ordinary town before. Not to mention his status, he knew even more that if the third prince and Lord Liuli had not discovered the conspiracy of his adopted son, he might have been harmed by a traitor and had a different body and head. So this was not only a grace of pulling away, but also a grace of saving lives.
Finally, a group of people came from afar. When people approached, everyone could see clearly that the person in the leader was actually a young boy. The man was wearing dark red clothes, not very luxurious, giving people a neat and refreshing feeling. When he looked at his face again, his face looked like peach blossoms, his lips were red and his teeth were white. If he had not seen him appear in the first place, everyone might have thought that he was from the little white face. However, his handsome face did not make anyone look down on him, because the aura of this boy did not make people feel a little scared, but when he appeared, he felt a sense of fear.
"Sir." Zheng Lei saw Liuli arrive and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
When Liuli saw it, she turned over and dismounted with a neat figure. She held Zheng Lei with one hand and said in a cold voice: "The city lord doesn't have to be too polite. I'm here this time to be the deputy city lord and assist you in rectifying Yuncheng."
Zheng Lei immediately understood that he didn't want people to know that they had known each other before, so he welcomed everyone into the city, but he still insisted on standing behind Liuli. Liuli did not refuse and entered the city. People in the city came to watch and saw that their city lord had fallen behind half a step, and they were all surprised at the identity of the person coming. The insider around him was just as Zheng Lei was not as good as the person coming from the palace, but he should still be respectful. Only Liuli knew that the city lord would build momentum for her in order to thank her, so that her next move in Yuncheng would be a little smoother.
When he arrived at the city lord's mansion, the city lord stepped back from the others, leaving him and Liuli in the house, and then knelt down directly: "Thank you for helping and promoting me." These words finally came out, and Zheng Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liuli nodded, feeling satisfied. The improvement of status did not change his character, and he was still grateful to those who were just him. He was a good person. Liuli waved his hand casually and said, "It was just a coincidence."
After that, the two started talking about the city. Tomorrow, Liuli, the deputy city lord, will take office.
In the evening, everything was considered a certainty in the palace, and the emperor was still sitting at the table to correct government affairs and had no rest.
Concubine Xiao came over and signaled the maid to put down the food box in her hand and then go out. Then she opened the food box, took out the mulberry leaves and osmanthus cake inside, and put it on the table, and said softly: "The emperor is busy with government affairs. I heard that he has not used dinner yet. I feel very sorry for the emperor. After making this osmanthus cake, I also asked the emperor to be a dragon body and eat some to cushion the belly."
The emperor raised his head and rubbed his eyebrows: "Concubine Xiao is intent."
