The queen is a bit cowardly

Chapter 41

Chang Lan has kept a straight face for the past few days, and she couldn't find a reason to be happy even after Huan had a deep talk with her in the past few days. That day in Chengtian Palace, Chang Huan asked her to choose one of the sons of Shangluo and Shangjing. She naturally disagreed. First, she showed affection and reason to Chang Huandong, and then the eldest princess's temper disapproved in various ways. In the end, the old man Chang Huan just smiled and said: What are you doing today? If you don't marry those two eldest sons, naturally some princes and sons will come to propose marriage, why not find someone to marry after Xia Miao.

Moreover, this Chang Huan is also a fox, he has even chosen the person to marry, he is really a man of phoenix destiny, it is a family of officials and ministers in the south of the state of Xin, the food town is thousands of stones, and there are many slaves, and it is also the same in Daxin. Some well-known families, the family's surname is Gu, and they were prime ministers in the early years. In this family's lineage, there is a young man named Gu Dongqing who matches Chang Lan regardless of appearance and family background. More importantly, he is willing to go to Tianping. As an official, Chang Huan's daughter doesn't have to marry far away.

After everything has been calculated, it depends on how Chang Lan chooses.

"Princess, the ice storage for summer has arrived, and we will be able to use it in a few days." A Li was talking about the affairs of the mansion. Although Chang Lan didn't need to ask about them one by one, she was the lord of the mansion after all, so she had to know everything.

"En." Chang Lan only responded, and then said: "Give some to His Highness."

"delivered."

"Yeah." Chang Lan was a little irritable, but she still buried her head in looking at the official document. Since she opened the mansion, she has really taken over some tasks from the emperor, and she does it seriously every day.

The emperor asked Chang Lan to help manage the accounts of the harem's purchases. That was the empress's responsibility. After the empress's death, Nie Ming took care of it, and now it's handed over to Chang Lan. Fees have always been high, but mostly useless purchases.Today, however, Chang Lan couldn't take these things into consideration. She always thought that Chang Huan would let her get married as soon as possible, so she cut off the plans of those princes and courtiers early.

"Princess, Prince Fu is here." A Li said in a low voice, Jiang Qingluan no longer needed to communicate when he entered Chang Lan's courtyard, and he was already taking off his shoes outside the door.

Only then did Chang Lan put down her pen, but the look on her face couldn't be happier.

"Princess!" Jiang Qingluan, as always, made people feel refreshed, she walked in with a smile on her face, and sat down beside Chang Lan.

"Your Highness." Chang Lan closed the paperwork and forced a smile.

Jiang Qingluan also saw that Chang Lan had something on her mind, and if she smiled in the past, the other party must also smile. "I haven't seen you for two days, why are you unhappy?" Jiang Mianluan has been concentrating on training for the past few days, while Chang Lan also stayed in Chengtian Palace for a few nights and just came back last night. Disturb each other.

"It's nothing." Chang Lan said. She didn't know how to explain to Jiang Qingluan. The two of them obviously had no talent, but she felt that Jiang Qingluan would definitely be sad if she told Chang Huan's plan. Let the other person be distracted.

"On the contrary, Your Highness, when I came back last night, I heard from a rabbit that you have worked very hard these two days, and you are still very concerned about the selection of generals." Chang Lan said.

"I think..." Jiang Qingluan thought it was a bit ridiculous, but he finished his sentence anyway: "I want to be the top three armies, and I want to be a general."

Chang Lan had heard these words several times, and every time she heard them, she felt warm in her heart. Not only did Jiang Qingluan say that, but she really did it.

"I'm interested." Chang Lan said, looking at Jiang Qingluan's serious face, she couldn't help but twitched her lips. What could be more touching than someone who treats you seriously?

Jiang Qingluan didn't dare pretend to be serious, and turned her head away in embarrassment.Both of them had intentions, but they stopped here, as if the relationship would become uncontrollable once the thin layer of paper was pierced. Moreover, the current situation is special, so they definitely dare not mess around.

Jiang Qingluan cleared her throat again. It was impossible to hide Huo Xian's visit to the Princess Mansion. Instead of Chang Lan asking her, she should find a reason to speak first.

"The great Sima is here."

"I was also about to ask about this," Chang Lan said, "What is the teacher looking for?"

Jiang Qingluan refrained from the trivial and said emphatically: "It can be regarded as opening a back door for Gu. He told Gu in advance about the candidates for other participants this time, and also explained the rules of the competition."

In order to show fairness this time, Huo Xian didn't even disclose the contestant to her. Chang Lan was still a little surprised that he even told Jiang Qingluan about it first. Chang Lan said, "What rules?"

Jiang Qingluan said: "There are more than a hundred generals in this election. If all of them go to Meng County to participate in Xia Miao, I'm afraid there won't be enough prey, so Da Sima will select [-]% of them before Xia Miao."

"How to brush?" Chang Lan asked.

"Da Sima only said that there are two types of examinations: the literary test and the martial arts test, which are held on the [-]th and [-]th of this month respectively. The specific competition is not disclosed to Gu." Jiang Qingluan.

Chang Lan nodded, and naturally believed that Jiang Qingluan was one of a million people, so she didn't ask any more questions. The two hadn't seen each other for two days. Although they didn't dare to say how much they missed, they wanted to stay longer, so Chang Lan took the initiative to let Jiang Qingluan stay in the study Waiting for her, Chang Lan was concentrating on approving the official documents, and Jiang Qingluan was satisfied even if she didn't talk to Chang Lan seeing her concentration.After Chang Lan finished her official duties, she asked A Li to cut some flowers, plants, bamboo leaves and other things, and arranged flowers with Jiang Qingluan, and then they appreciated and ate together, no matter how long they stayed...

Longya Military Academy Field on the tenth day of July

Longya General Bai Yu was originally from Shangjing. His father received Huo Xian's favor and moved his family to Tianping City. Lan is quick-witted, understands dormancy, makes good use of people, and his methods are more than employing people to check and balance. Bai Yu is good at military tactics, eating and living with soldiers and winning the hearts of the soldiers. Huo Xian's son is now starting his official career. It is very likely that it was passed on to Bai Yu.

It is also because of this that Bai Yu is a very rigorous person, just like today, it is obviously a literary test but it is placed in the school field for comparison. Candidates only need to sit on the table and do some movements. , anyone who whispers will be stopped immediately, so as to ensure that no one can cheat in this essay test.

Chang Lan expected that the road to the school grounds would be congested today, and originally wanted the Longqi car to take Jiang Qingluan there, but was rejected by Jiang Qingluan. She only wanted to win beauty, so naturally she couldn't make others feel that she was attached.So Jiang Qingluan took Ba Le alone, and went with a light car and simple clothes.

I haven't arrived at the Longya Military Academy yet, but I still saw a chariot with a dragon pattern flag on it. The one standing on the chariot was none other than the second son, Chang Bai. Yuguan, with a sword with a dragon pattern on his waist, he stood on the car with a majestic appearance, which seemed very mighty.

Jiang Qingluan also knew that seeing the Longwen flag give way, so she got off the horse by the side of the Bale road, and listened to the discussions of the people around her.

"The second prince is so handsome."

"Which of the children of His Majesty and the Empress is not Tianzi, it is a pity. This is the hand of the prince."

Jiang Qingluan actually noticed that Chang Bai was always wearing a pair of gloves on his left hand, and later heard that Chang Bai had broken two fingers.

"What happened to that hand?" Barr asked curiously.

The two people who were talking were dressed like ordinary citizens, maybe they were just here to watch the fun, but seeing that Ba Le was dressed like a man, they said in a low voice: "That was in the fifth year of Mingde, when the late emperor's younger brother Hengyang Jun Assassinated His Majesty, but ended up killing the prince by mistake, in order to protect the prince, the second prince blocked the sword for the prince, wouldn't that be missing a finger?"

"The third prince from the direct line also died, Chang Qing."

Chang Qing, Jiang Qingluan heard this name after Lan was drunk that day, and Chang Lan did call him third brother, but she didn't know about it, and thinking about what the two of them mentioned, it happened in the fifth year of Mingde Well, she happened to be on the Western Expedition that year, and she didn't ask anything about the Central Plains.

Seeing the dragon pattern car passing by, Jiang Qingluan got on the horse again and went to the school grounds with Ba Le.

Sure enough, when approaching the school grounds, there were only carriages and horses everywhere, and the flags of the princes' families were hung on the carriages. In fact, everyone in the world knows that most of the candidates for this election are the bastards who were abandoned by the family, but this time the families are also trying to let the bastards shine. The lintel naturally made those princes who were not worthy of having the family emblem also wear the family emblem.Of course, there were also many people who rented carriages or came barefoot. Those were citizens with no background, perhaps they were celebrities in the mountains, and they wanted to jump into the dragon gate through this competition.

"We should also bring a flag." Ba Le tied up Jiang Qingluan's horse and muttered.

"It's not an expedition, what kind of flag to bring." Jiang Qingluan said: "Don't forget the root."

Like the Central Plains people, the Fu people also attached great importance to the family, but most of the emphasis was on the glory of the family, and they only carried their coat of arms when they went out to war.

"That's right," Ba Le patted the soil on his trousers, and said, "It's a bit embarrassing for you to be a majestic King of Talismans and me to have a guard of honor."

Jiang Qingluan took the official document and walked to the main gate of the school. The Dragon Tooth Army established its might. Not to mention the golden armor, the soldiers had murderous looks in their eyes, and they were not angry. They looked like an army of iron and blood.

The soldier who took over the official document was just a senior, but he looked neither humble nor overbearing. The one who entered the door just now saw that he was a Gongqing, and his expression did not change because of the different status of the other party. up.

"Fu Guo, Jiang Qingluan, a woman?"

"This is the king of the Fu Kingdom, and the Fu Kingdom respects the heroine." Ba Le replied with a righteous face, but immediately added: "Our woman can also wear this armor on you."

"Did I talk to you?" Long Fang glared at Balak.

"Baler back down first." Jiang Qingluan knew that Baler was a hard rock, so he explained: "The official document is stamped with the seal of the Great Sima, and the recommender is General Chi Jiawei, which meets the requirements for running for election."

The Longya Army belonged to Da Sima, and there was nothing to say. Longya stepped out of the way and separated Jiang Qingluan from Ba Le.

Through the fence of the main entrance, Jiang Qingluan gave Baler a few instructions, only telling him to stay outside and see if there is a mutton stall with a water basin to sit and rest for a while, and she will go to the stable to wait after the essay test is over. He and Ba Le left after agreeing, while Jiang Qingluan walked into the school yard alone.
