2184 Chapter 2184-praise
Zheng Qiu might be tall, but he was not muscular!
When she heard Lord Liu calling out “warrior, warrior,” she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
“Lord Liu, you can just call this lowly one Zheng zuoxiao. This lowly one really can not bear the title of a warrior!” Zheng Qiu cupped his hands at Lord Liu, who was the last to sit down.
Gu Xin and the second Prince in white couldn’t help but laugh.
The three of them knew that Zheng Qiu was a real lady. If she could move a lady’s heart in men’s clothes, it meant that she was good-looking. Lord Liu was calling her a hero. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
“Hey, look at me, this old fool!” Seeing Gu Xin and the rest laughing, Lord Liu smacked his head and laughed as well. He cupped his hands, ” I’m sorry, Mr. Zheng. Zheng really doesn’t look like a coroner. All the coroners I’ve seen are old men. Zheng ke is a fine-looking man with a graceful demeanor. Why don’t I call you young master Zheng?”
“Alright, Lord Liu. As long as you don’t call me warrior, it’s fine to call me little Zheng.” Zheng Qiu said with a smile.
“I am Bai Yi, the princess’s guard! Lord Liu, you can just call me guard Bai!” Bai Yi also cupped his fists towards Lord Liu.
“I am second white, the princess’s guard.” Second white also introduced himself.
The two of them always said that they were Gu Xin’s guards. Sometimes, they didn’t show up, but they always stayed in the dark, so they usually didn’t tell others that they were secret guards.
“Two white Guards!” Lord Liu cupped his hands.
“Alright, everyone knows each other. We’re all working for the Imperial court, so there’s no need to be so polite!” Lord Liu, how many years have you been in the government? ” Gu Xin asked.
“Princess, I have been the prefect of tai province for more than five years. After this year, it will be six years.” Lord Liu immediately perked up and said, ” I’m not boasting. In the past few years that I’ve been in the Tai Prefecture, the people have been living well. There are not many beggars on the streets.
“Does Lord Liu want me to go back and tell the Emperor about the situation in Thailand?” Gu Xin did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
haha. this was the first time Lord Liu had encountered such a direct person, but he reacted quickly. After a moment of surprise, he said, ” Your Highness, you can stroll around the capital of Thailand in the next few days. If you want to go hiking or sightseeing, I can also find a guide for you. If the princess is satisfied, this official naturally hopes that the princess can put in a few good words for this official in front of His Majesty.”
“Alright! Let’s talk after I’m done shopping! I like straightforward people like Lord Liu!” Gu Xin replied without hesitation.
Lord Liu didn’t expect Gu Xin to agree to it immediately, he was so excited!
If not for the fact that they were in a carriage and his control was limited, he would have held onto Gu Xin’s hand and wiped away his tears.
It wasn’t easy. He had offended the Ministry of official personnel affairs. Although the Tai state capital was close to the capital, they were still local officials. If he didn’t achieve great achievements, he wouldn’t be able to return to the capital in this lifetime.
More importantly, the person in charge of the Ministry of official personnel affairs was still in office.
He might not be able to go back, but at least he could let the Emperor know that he was really conscientious in his work as a magistrate and that he was not lazy at all.
If Princess Xinxin was willing to go and play, she would definitely ask the people about the Yamen. The people would definitely say good things about him.
He was just waiting for the three-year deadline to come back to the capital and report on his work. He would not be like three years ago, where he was obstructed by others.
