Chapter 183 The little bird clings to the human, infinitely shy
Lu Ling and Lu Yanzhi were cousins. Lu Yanzhi died at the hands of Xuanyang. Now Lu Ling has made a high-profile confession to marry his former cousin-in-law. Who would not be shocked and curious to hear this ethical scandal.
Rumors were flying everywhere outside, and Xiao Li was suddenly thrust into the spotlight again.
Xiao Li's reputation was ruined even before he came out of the family.
However, even though Lu Ling caused a storm in the city like a clown, Xiao Li ignored him.
There was a lot of buzz outside, and people were even betting on whether the emperor would really grant the marriage, but the princess's mansion was completely unaffected by the outside world, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.
The Gifted Scholar's Banquet served as a very useful advertisement for the Princess's Mansion. Many literati's yearning for the Princess's Mansion reached its peak, and they all hoped to start with the five Liu Yans and join the Princess's Mansion as a staff.
Xiao Li naturally doesn't have time to pay attention to everyone, but she won't refuse talents when they come to her door.
Song Junzhan arranged the assessment. If he really thought it was good, he would send it to Xiao Li.
The selection of this group of people is naturally different from the first group. After being selected, those who are willing to be loyal will be given three hundred taels of silver each. They are not sent to be sharpened in the officialdom, but to assist the five people in the first group.
She has set a total of three levels for these literary talents, but the levels are not absolutely unchanged. She will conduct an assessment once a month. As long as those who fail the assessment will abdicate and let the best people in the next level take the lead.
The benefits and benefits of each level are clearly displayed. If you fall from the previous level, you will not only lose benefits, but most importantly, you will be embarrassed.
So the current situation is that the first level is desperately trying to prove themselves, and the second level is eager to climb up. A group of people are seeking death, and the only one who can remain calm is Song Junzhan, whose position is unshakable.
Seeing that the five people were visibly thin and had black and blue circles under their eyes, they were all very tired but they still didn't dare to slack off, for fear of being outdone.
Song Junzhan took a deep breath, secretly afraid.
Fortunately, fortunately, he had established his position as the princess's first adviser early, otherwise he would definitely die here with his body.
The Princess Mansion is not only a dream for literati, but the majestic guard costumes also make many martial arts practitioners dazzle.
A penny can stump a heroic man, no matter how powerful you are in martial arts, you will not be able to survive without money in your pocket.
The guards of the Princess Mansion have high salaries, good equipment, and high status. Apart from having no formal official position, they are impeccable.
As time went by, many martial arts practitioners came to the Princess Mansion.
Either he is strong in martial arts or he is physically strong.
Xiao Li took the time to personally select and increase the number of guards.
She has 200 guards on the surface, but so far she has more than 500. However, these extra guards are usually counted among the servants, and only those who are called by name can put on armor and accompany them as guards.
Therefore, not only Wen's side was rolled, but the guards' side was also rolled.
Grandma Jinping saw all this, and a trace of worry appeared in her weathered eyes, but she didn't ask anything and gathered the four newly selected maids together for class.
Let her learn everything. If she can't learn it, she is not worthy of following this princess.
——
Wang Wanqing didn't last a few days in the palace. Listening to the rumors outside, she couldn't hold it back anymore and came out again in the name of delivering things to the queen.
She was so angry after hearing the news that she only regretted that she was incompetent, otherwise she would have Lu Ling beaten to death.
When Cen An came to deliver medicine to Xiao Li, he saw Wang Wanqing looking at Xiao Li eagerly, while Xiao Li pushed her out with an indifferent expression.
Cen An stepped forward and said hello: "Princess, Miss Wang."
"Doctor Cen."
Wang Wanqing saw what he was holding and knew that he had something to say to the princess, so she quickly picked up her skirt and ran to look at the flowers. She took good care of the flowering of the pot of peonies and sent it to the princess specially.
Although she had carefully inspected it many times, she was still worried that there was a flaw and she had to look again.
Cen An handed the medicine and the prescription to Xiao Li: "This is what the princess wants. It nourishes Qi and nourishes the body, and is gentle and protective of the heart. The princess can just let them make the medicine according to the prescription."
Cen An is no longer responsible for making medicine. He only needs to develop the prescription, and Xiao Li will use it to mass-produce it. Except for his own use, the rest will be sold.
Cen An has been to Xiao Li's drug stores. They all sell patent medicines. The prices are not expensive and the business is very good.
Apart from anything else, he really admired the princess's ability to win over people and make money. Xiao Li took it and looked at it carefully. Although she didn't know much, she would take a look at it and give it to Lan Yue. She would make a copy first and then send it to the steward.
"The reward will be sent to you later. This time I have two pieces of snow lingzhi. I'll give you one."
The rewards given to Cen An include money and precious medicinal materials. Xiao Li will not suffer losses for himself or his partners when doing business.
Cen An didn't care about this now. He glanced at Wang Wanqing next to him: "The princess seems to dislike Miss Wang very much?"
Xiao Li raised his eyebrows, looked at him, then followed his gaze at Wang Wanqing, and raised the corners of his lips in a meaningful arc.
"What does this have to do with you?"
Cen An was immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice the interest in Xiao Li's eyes.
"Last time Miss Wang came here, she cried very wrongedly. The princess pushed her just now. I just saw it and thought it was strange, so I asked casually."
Just a casual question? It doesn't look like it.
Xiao Li glanced over there: "Wang Wanqing."
Wang Wanqing, who was studying the stamens, immediately raised her head: "Princess, what's wrong?"
Xiao Li hooked his hand at her: "Come here."
When she came over, Xiao Li pointed at Cen An: "Tell him why I dislike you."
Wang Wanqing immediately flattened her lips: "Why does the princess want others to say this?"
Xiao Li gave Xiao Li a resentful look, but replied to Cen An: "Doctor Cen, it's me who wants to live in the princess's mansion, but the princess always refuses."
Cen An looked at the attitudes of the two and noticed something: "Didn't you cry last time?"
Wang Wanqing blushed instantly: "Doctor Cen heard all this. I just wanted to be coquettish with the princess and didn't cry."
Cen An was stunned, with a complicated expression on his face.
Xiao Li, who was watching the excitement, didn't think it was a big deal, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Wang Wanqing into his arms.
Wang Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and the next moment she calmly moved into Xiao Li's arms, like a little bird clinging to someone, infinitely shy.
"Princess, why are you hugging me suddenly?"
Xiao Li pushed the person into his arms, his chin just touching Wang Wanqing's cheek, and looked at Cen An provocatively.
Cen An's pupils trembled, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Wang Wanqing turned her eyes and saw his stunned look, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with him?"
The corners of Xiao Li's lips curved in a playful way: "It's nothing." He suspected that he was just dead.
She asked why Cen An didn't appear in front of her during this period. It turned out to be because Wang Wanqing cried last time and had a problem with her.
There is a price to pay for wrongly accusing her.
Thank you fairies for your support. Sansheng is lucky enough to meet you. There are too many to mention. I will update more tomorrow, okay?
The following is nonsense and can be ignored.
What the princess now owns:
Wealth: She got it from the emperor based on her ability. She has many properties and villages under her name. She also sells finished pills for money. There will also be fiefdom taxation in the future.
Force: two great guards, Yang Jun and Rong Qing, 500+ elite guards, and self-made thermal weapons.
Staff: Song Junzhan, Tang Shuyu and five others, and the number continues to grow.
It seems that the heroine has worked hard on her own, but she is said to rely on men? Dear dear boy, do you have any misunderstandings about relying on men?
As for Song Junzhan, Xiao Li helped him realize his long-cherished wish to revive the imperial examination. He loyal to Xiao Li and became an aide. Is this a deal?
