Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 262 The Regent came to visit late at night

Not long after Shen Qinglan lay down, and just as he fell asleep, he felt like there was someone next to him.

A pair of warm hands held her hand and gently touched her face.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhao Shun, dressed in dark blue brocade clothes, sitting at the head of her bed, with longing eyes.

"Why are you back?"

Shen Qinglan sat up with her arms supported. Zhao Shun smiled and was about to take her into his arms, but she dodged him.

"What are you doing? Don't touch me..."

Zhao Shun retracted the hand he just extended and lowered his eyes slightly, "I'm sorry... I know you haven't opened your heart yet, but I'm too impatient. I came back today just to see you."

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but find it a little funny. Did she really look that pretentious?

If you want to open the knot in your heart, then the knot in your heart will open too slowly.

It's not that she resists contact with Zhao Shun, it's just that she has to make up for and explain what happened in the past. She can't just let it go. It seems that she is too easy to bully, so she deliberately doesn't get close to him.

"Zhao Shun, although it was Zhao Yi who drugged you last time, you still hurt me after all. Don't you plan to show your attitude?" Shen Qinglan pretended to be serious.

"State your position?" Zhao Shun was a little confused.

"In the past, you just said sorry verbally, without any sincerity. Don't you want to sincerely apologize?" Shen Qinglan asked.

Zhao Shun smiled, stood up and stood in front of Shen Qinglan's bed, lifted up his robe, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in his fists, and said: "I was killed by an adulterer and accidentally injured the princess. Please forgive me for my unintentional act."

Pass."

Shen Qinglan was stunned. In fact, she just wanted Zhao Shun to give her more money so that she could buy some good furniture in Jiamingju. When he did this, she found it difficult to speak.

"Okay, okay, get up quickly and let people see what it looks like!"

After Shen Qinglan said this, Zhao Shun refused to get up until she got out of bed and helped him up in person. He hugged her waist and pinned her down on the bed.

"Princess, is the injury you sustained last time better?" Zhao Shun asked with a smile.

"Ah? Not yet." Shen Qinglan shook her head repeatedly.

"Really? It's been so long and it still hasn't healed. Let my husband check it for you."

"no!"

"I, the regent, have knelt down for you, and you are still not satisfied? If others find out in the future, I can't even sleep on my own princess's bed. How can I gain a foothold in the court and suppress the ministers?" Zhao Shun's voice said.

Extremely gentle.

Shen Qinglan turned her head away, and Zhao Shun lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "We have missed the wedding night, and it is not good. We make the same mistake again and again."

The warmth from his breath was numbing and hot, making her ears itch a little. Unintentionally, the two of them got closer.

"Sisi..."

-

Early the next morning, when Shen Qinglan woke up, Zhao Shun had already left.

Thinking of everything that happened last night, she couldn't help but blush.

After experiencing him as rough as a devil that night, she was very resistant to him.

Only now do we know how good he is.

"Princess, are you awake? Butler Zhang just came to ask what flowers, plants and trees you plan to plant at Jiaming Residence, and who will write the plaque for Jiaming Residence," Yan'er said.

Shen Qinglan sighed, "Oh... Laiyuan was originally the residence of the Prince of the Northern Territory. Not only were there flowers and plants, but the trees were ancient trees. A fire destroyed them all. I feel heartbroken when I think about it."

"Yes, there used to be many rare trees in Jiaming Residence. It's really a pity." Yan'er also sighed.

"Then plant some sycamores, crabapples, albizia julibrissin, etc., as well as pear trees and plum blossoms. Let the gardener take care of the arrangements." Shen Qinglan said as he got out of bed.

Yan'er wanted to get dressed for her, so she took the clothes directly and put them on one by one.

"It's not easy to plant trees at this time of year, right?" Shen Qinglan said.

"The craftsmen didn't mention it, and most likely they won't be able to do it. By the way, miss, who should I ask to write the plaque? There are many famous calligraphers in Kyoto, why don't we ask the Second Young Master to come forward and find a famous calligrapher to write it?" Yan'er said.

Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "What kind of famous calligraphy should we invite? Let the second brother write it. The second brother's calligraphy is as smooth as those of the calligraphers. Moreover, the second brother's Lan character is the most wonderful, so let him do it.

Just write."

Yan'er also smiled and sighed, shook her head and said: "I'm really confused...I forgot about the second young master. The second young master is right next door. Why do we need to hire a calligrapher? Princess, I'll do it in a moment."

Find someone to return to the Second Young Master."

"Well, the Ministry of Justice has been busy recently. Second brother should go to the public house now. I'll send someone to tell you when I get back in the evening. Well... you'd better go there in person and tell me what I told you. Let second brother write whatever you want.

Just write, don't bother practicing for me, it will consume too much ink and rice paper." Shen Qinglan said.

"If the second young master takes this job, he will definitely strive to be perfect. Your advice is useless." Yan'er said with a smile.

"makes sense."

In the Qinxian Palace, Zhao Shun was handling official business.

Qin Chong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, took the assessment of hundreds of officials in the past three years and handed it over to Murong Duan.

Murong Duan held the assessment book and handed it to Zhao Shun. Zhao Shun did not take it and asked him to put it directly on the desk.

"Master Qin, if there is nothing else, please step back first," Zhao Shun said.

"Prince Regent, this assessment is only for officials in Kyoto. The assessment of officials across the country that you want will take some time to sort out." Qin Zhongdao.

"Master Qin is in a high position and is very busy, so I won't bother you with this little matter. I have sent Zhou Kunyan, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to handle it. Master Qin only needs to take care of the official affairs in the capital," Zhao Shun said.

"yes."

Qin Zhong left with an uneasy look on his face.

The Qin family and the Xue family have always been together, and they have old grudges with the Shen family and the Wang family.

Now that King Bin has become the regent, he is avenging his personal vengeance, and his position as minister may not be guaranteed.

Looking at this situation, the regent planned to support Zhou Yankun to replace him.

"Your Majesty, the Qin family and the Shen family have a grudge. Now you openly let Yuanwai Lang take over. This... Qin Zhongzhi is being cautious, and I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you. There are already many officials in the court who are dissatisfied with your governance."

Murong Duandao.

"Will I be afraid of him?" Zhao Shun sneered after saying this, not caring at all.

Murong Duan couldn't say anything more when he saw this. Zhao Shun thought for a while and then said: "Go and ask Liu Rulin to come over."

"yes."

It was almost noon when Liu Rulin arrived at Qinxian Hall.

"The lower official Liu Rulin is here to see the regent."

"No courtesy, please sit down."

Zhao Shun stood up, walked to Liu Rulin with a book in his hand, and sat down next to him.

"Look at this."

"This is...the tax account books of each province?"

Liu Rulin was shocked after reading it, "The accounts are so confusing that the Ministry of Accounts handed them over just like that."

Zhao Shun sighed and said, "When the late Emperor was here, the Ministry of Revenue did not dare to act so boldly. But it is clear that the tax collection has been deeply flawed. Brother Liu, now that you are working in the Ministry of Rites, you are really underestimating your talents. You are right

Is the Ministry of Finance interested?"
