Liu Pan'er smiled and was quite reserved, "But young people still have to spend more time together. After arriving in the capital, we can't settle on a marriage immediately."

The Ninth Princess nodded, "Yes, yes, we should indeed get along more, in order to discover more of each other's strengths and weaknesses."

"Just like Gu Shao and I, if we didn't know each other well before, both the good and the bad, we wouldn't have been able to live so smoothly."

The Ninth Princess was finally relieved.

After Liu Pan'er left, he immediately wrote a letter to the capital.

At this time, Emperor Zhou Ping and Queen Zhao were discussing what kind of title to give Li Rong.

The county prince can, but if it is the princess, the royal family may be dissatisfied.

When the letter from the Ninth Princess was delivered to the capital, Queen Zhao and Emperor Zhou Ping were very happy and personally informed the head of the royal family, Prince Qing.

Li Rong is about to become the eldest princess.

Prince Qing still didn't understand anything, so he immediately agreed to reward Princess Li Rong with the title of Wei Rong.

Emperor Zhou Ping's reward for Mrs. De Rui was soon delivered to Jixiang Town.

Reward Mrs. Derry with ten thousand taels of gold.

Li Rong was rewarded as Princess Weiming.

Not only that, but there are also precious things that the Queen gave to Mrs. De Rui, Li Rong, and the children of the Li family.

Liu Pan'er was stunned, she didn't expect the reward to be so generous.

This time it was Eunuch Liang who came in person.

Although Eunuch Liang is a chamberlain, he has been a lifesaver to His Majesty on several occasions.

Just last year, when Emperor Zhou Ping paid a private visit incognito, remnants of other countries assassinated Emperor Zhou Ping. At the critical moment, Liang Bao stood in front of Emperor Zhou Ping.

Because Liang Bao blocked the sword with his body, the guards arrived in time and caught the assassin.

Liang Bao also lay in bed for three days and three nights before he woke up.

At that time, Emperor Ping of Zhou granted Liang Bao the title of Marquis of Wuzhong.

Although Emperor Zhou Ping offered him an official position, Liang Bao refused, saying that he was a chamberlain and could not serve as an official in the previous dynasty and could not break the rules.

Now he still helps Emperor Zhou Ping deliver some important imperial edicts.

Liu Pan'er welcomed Liang Bao in and treated him warmly.

Li Nan took his foster father's hand and said, "Father, are you thirsty? Are you hungry?"

Liang Bao smiled and said, "I'm not thirsty or hungry, but it's just a little hot. It would be good if I also get an ice bowl."

The guard on the side reminded, "Master Marquis, the doctor said, you can't eat ice."

Liang Bao immediately grimaced, "Hey, it's a hot summer day and you can't eat ice. How can you live like this?"

At this time, Li Nan smiled and said: "Father, you can't eat ice, but you can eat yellow jelly powder, it tastes great. It's cool and smooth."

When Liang Bao heard this, his eyes lit up, "Yes, how could I forget that there is such a good thing to cool off in summer?"

Li Nan nodded, smiling brightly, "Father, please wait, I will get it for you."

The guard was relieved when he saw that the Marquis refused to eat ice. He had to listen to what His Majesty told him.

We sat in the living room while the maid served tea.

Liu Pan'er and Li Yuanqing took their seats.

"Eunuch Liang, in fact, the books I acquired are not worthy of such a reward from Your Majesty." Liu Pan'er was modest and naturally felt grateful for His Majesty's reward.

Liang Bao smiled and said, "Mrs. Derry, don't be too modest. You are a very smart person and you should understand the importance of mathematics."

Liu Paner certainly knows that mathematics is the foundation of all natural sciences.

Before the Zhou Dynasty, the humanities were relatively developed, but in the natural sciences, progress was slow, and most of them were made by craftsmen who were trying to improve and explore.

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "Thank you Your Majesty and the Queen for the reward."

Liang Bao waved his hand and asked the guards and chamberlains to

He went down and said with a soft smile: "Your Majesty and the Queen have been thinking about Mrs. Derry, General Li and the children."

"Now the whole capital is studying mathematics, and even His Majesty is quite obsessed with it."

"Coming with the Za family is the arithmetic master from the Imperial College. Master Cai, because he is obsessed with arithmetic, hurriedly asked for leave from the Imperial College, packed his bags and came to Jiangnan."

"It's just that my wallet was stolen on the way and I almost ended up living on the street. Fortunately I met Zajia, otherwise I would have had to beg along the way."

Hearing this, Liu Pan'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This Master Cai is really a sweetheart. In fact, you don't have to work so hard. I will leave for the capital in half a month."

Eunuch Liang smiled and said, "In the capital, he is very good at arithmetic. He can't do it, and neither can anyone else. He can't hold it in any longer."

"But the Za family has arranged for him to stay in the town and come to visit Mrs. Derry later."

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Okay, come all the way to find me, I will definitely explain it to him."

Eunuch Liang looked at Li Rong, his eyes full of approval, "A Rong, just remember what your mother taught you."

"Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. It is true for others, but it is not that difficult for you."

"Not only the empress, your majesty, but also the eldest prince are very fond of you. You don't have to deliberately flatter anyone, just be yourself."

Li Rong stood up and saluted Liang Bao, "Thank you, Uncle Liang. Ah Rong took note of it."

In the backyard of the palace, the Queen is the highest manager, and Eunuch Liang is the chief manager.

It's just because after Eunuch Liang was assassinated, His Majesty couldn't bear Eunuch Liang's hard work, so he rewarded Eunuch Liang with a reward, resigned from the position of chief steward, and concentrated on recuperation.

Although he has resigned, he is very familiar with the queen, and many forces are under the control of Eunuch Liang.

Liang Bao nodded and smiled: "That's good, Ah Rong, you are a smart child. From the beginning to the end, you know what you want. It's really good. If you have trouble making a decision in the future, you can talk to your parents, or even follow me."

You can say anything."

"Yes, Uncle Liang." Li Rong agreed again, this was the idea of ​​helping her.

Li Yuanqing asked: "Eunuch Liang, what has the capital been busy with recently? Li will return to the capital soon. He has been in Jiangnan during this period and doesn't know much about the affairs of the capital."

Liang Bao smiled and said, "The method of repairing the canals and opening new canals that General Li proposed before was very good to your Majesty and the courtiers. The only thing that cannot be decided now is the issue of slaves doing hard labor. There is no debate."

.”

"Whether it's officials or aristocratic families, they all reject it and think it's against etiquette and law."

"Is it against etiquette?" Li Yuanqing sneered, "They are all people of Da Zhou and they eat food from Da Zhou. How come it is not in line with etiquette?"

"Not only do these slaves need to do hard work, but even monks and monks must do hard work. In the past, it was because of wars that people became monks to avoid disaster."

"Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is a good time to recuperate and recuperate. Those remote places need people to develop and require a lot of labor."

Liang Bao was stunned. He didn't expect Li Yuanqing's proposal to be so direct and bold.

However, Liang Bao soon became very sure that Li Yuanqing's proposal would definitely receive His Majesty's support and affirmation.

"No wonder His Majesty has been longing for General Li and Mrs. Derry to return to Beijing. This speaks to His Majesty's heart."

"There are 1,300 monks in Jinguang Temple in the capital. The key is that these monks just want to be monks. There are actually many who often go down the mountain to wear wigs, go to brothels, drink wine and eat meat."
