This is the high-tech that Ye Qingmei brought out from the temple, and it can only be opened with a key.

Li Chengyuan was not in a hurry. He knew where the key was anyway, so he could just take it out when he had the chance!

.......

Li Chengyuan and Qingniao had breakfast together.

After breakfast, Hongshu came over with a bunch of visiting cards and asked softly:

"Your Highness, these are all handed in by officials of all ranks who want to see you. Do you want to see them or not?"

Li Chengyuan took it and looked at it.

Wow, there are more than thirty of them, most of which are from Beijing officials of various government offices, from the third-rank assistant minister to the sixth-rank principal, as well as the Shaoqing and Sicheng of various temples and courts, etc., covering almost all government offices.

In addition, there are a small number of local officials.

They must have come to Kyoto on business and happened to hear about this, so they wanted to look for an opportunity.

In addition to them, there are actually a lot of visiting cards from officials below the sixth rank, and these people are just trying their luck.

Because there were too many people, Hongshu didn't bring the visiting card.

But she gave Li Chengyuan a detailed list, without missing a single one.

In matters like this, Hongshu would never interfere and make decisions for Li Chengyuan.

This is also the reason why Li Chengyuan favors sweet potatoes, because sweet potatoes have a strong sense of proportion.

Li Chengyuan felt a headache looking at these visiting cards.

These people are not necessarily here to surrender. Some of them are probably here to gather intelligence for others, and some are here to "inspect" Li Chengyuan. After all, the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also have to choose their king. This is normal!

So there is no way. If Li Chengyuan wants to expand his power, he has to meet these people in person and have a good chat with them!

This matter cannot be pushed away.

Li Chengyuan sighed, then picked up a pen and circled some people on the list, then said, "Xiaoyu, please help me arrange it. I'll try to meet all these people during this time!"

"Okay, Your Highness!" Hongshu nodded in agreement after taking the list.

"Is there anything else?" Li Chengyuan asked again.

"Yes!" Hongshu replied, "According to the night watchmen's reconnaissance, yesterday afternoon, the imperial court's war envoys even rushed 800 miles to the border. If nothing unexpected happens, the war in the north will start today!"

"So fast?" Li Chengyuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

The war between the two countries has been planned for a long time, and it can be said that the war has already begun.

Both sides are preparing for war, all they need is a fuse.

Therefore, as long as Emperor Qing gives an order, the people on the border will immediately launch a war upon receiving the imperial edict without any hesitation!

The capital of Qing Kingdom is only more than a thousand miles away from the nearest garrison on the border. If a letter is sent urgently, two days will be enough.

If that were the case, the war would be over soon.

After that, there were negotiations between the two countries, then Fan Xian had a drinking contest and wrote hundreds of poems, then he had a fight with the Princess, and finally he went on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi?

If you think about it this way, it seems that he still has a lot of things to do and time is running out!

Li Chengyuan took a breath and was about to cheer himself up and try hard.

Then the maid came to report that Fan Ruoruo had arrived.

“…”

This girl came so early today?

It seems that she has completely fallen in love with the life in the palace!

Fan Ruoruo came over on her own without Li Chengyuan's order.

This was Li Chengyuan's special instruction. From now on, when Fan Ruoruo and Lin Wan'er come, there is no need to inform them. Just let them enter the mansion directly.

When Fan Ruoruo came, she naturally felt something different. After a little thought, she knew it was Li Chengyuan's arrangement, which made her feel happy.

"Your Highness!"

Fan Ruoruo went straight into Li Chengyuan's study and greeted Li Chengyuan happily as soon as she saw him.

"Well, Ruoruo is here? Have you eaten yet?"

"I've already eaten!" Fan Ruoruo replied crisply.

"That's good!" Li Chengyuan nodded, then suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Ruoruo, let me ask you something!"

"Your Highness, please speak!" Fan Ruoruo said hurriedly.

Li Chengyuan sat down next to Fan Ruoruo and said with a gentle smile, "I want to ask you, did your brother ask you to help find a map of my house?"

"Ah?" Fan Ruoruo was shocked. How did His Highness know this?

So Your Highness suspects that I'm a spy?

Fan Ruoruo suddenly became very anxious and hurried to explain.

However, before she could speak, Li Chengyuan continued, "Don't be impatient, Ruoruo. Let me guess. You didn't promise your brother, right?"

"???" Fan Ruoruo was shocked: "Your Highness, how did you know? You have a spy in my house? That's not right! When I was talking to my brother, there was absolutely no third person present!"

Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "Okay, don't overthink it. I don't have any spies in your house. I figured this out!"

Seeing Fan Ruoruo's puzzled face, Li Chengyuan explained softly, "This is what happened. Last night, I asked Qingniao to go to the Fan Mansion and take away something very important to your brother!

Well, this is the bet I made with him. He lost to me in a poetry contest, and I asked him to give me something he had. Do you remember that?"

"Yeah!" Fan Ruoruo nodded.

Li Chengyuan continued, "This is what I'm talking about.

This thing is very important to your brother. If I force myself to take it, based on my understanding of your brother, he will definitely not be willing to give it up and will definitely find a way to get it back.

That's why I guess he asked you for the map of my house, so that he can secretly take the things back at night!"

"I see!" Fan Ruoruo suddenly understood, and then couldn't help asking, "Then how did Your Highness know that I didn't agree?"

Li Chengyuan looked at Fan Ruoruo and said gently, "Because I know you, I believe you wouldn't do such a thing!"

After hearing this, Fan Ruoruo felt a warm feeling in her heart.

It’s such a great feeling to be trusted.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I really didn't agree!"

Li Chengyuan smiled gently, then took out a map from his arms and handed it to Fan Ruoruo, saying, "There's nothing to thank me for. After all, it's the two of us who put you in a difficult position, so take these 887!"

Fan Ruoruo took the map and looked at it, and was immediately shocked.

That map was actually the map of Prince Li's Mansion.

And it is marked in great detail, including what location it is, who lives in which yard, everything is included here.

Although it is not very detailed, the general situation is marked out.

Most importantly, everything written here is true.

Fan Ruoruo spent a long time wandering around the palace yesterday. She had a good memory, so she could tell whether something was true or not after just a quick check.

But this is what shocked Fan Ruoruo.

"Your Highness, you are..."

Li Chengyuan said softly: "Ruoruo, I said, your brother and I are not enemies, and it won't hurt him if I take his things.

So don't worry, I definitely have no intention of harming him.

Giving you this map is actually a test for him. I want to see if he has the ability to steal things from my house.

Of course, it's just a test, there's no danger.

Even for you, I won't hurt him.

And most importantly, I don't want you to be embarrassed because of our relationship.

So when you give him the map, you can tell him the truth and say that I asked you to give it to him.

Whether he comes or not is his business.

That way, you don't have to worry about it, and you won't have to be in a dilemma!"

After hearing this, Fan Ruoruo felt touched and shy.

What touched her was that she felt Li Chengyuan was so good to her and was really thinking about her sincerely.

In this regard, even Fan Xian did not do as well as Li Chengyuan.

What was embarrassing was that Li Chengyuan's words just now were a bit ambiguous. What did he mean by "for her"?

Fan Ruoruo blushed as she took the map and nodded shyly, "I...I understand, Your Highness. I'll do as you say. I'll go back and give it to my brother right now!"

"Hey? No rush!" Li Chengyuan suddenly grabbed Fan Ruoruo's hand and said, "You can still go back in time tonight. He can't come during the day anyway!"

Fan Ruoruo was suddenly grabbed by Li Chengyuan's hand, and her whole body trembled, and she felt numb with shame!

At this moment, Sang Wen's voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Your Highness, Princess Wan'er has arrived and has gone to Qingyue Pavilion!"

Hearing the sound, Li Chengyuan came back to his senses and realized that he had been rude. He quickly let go of Fan Ruoruo's slender hand.

"I'm sorry Ruoruo, I..."

"It's okay!" Before Li Chengyuan could finish, Fan Ruoruo said hurriedly, "Your Highness, I don't mind!"

Li Chengyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fan Ruoruo with a gentler look.

"Then let's go there!"

"Okay!" Fan Ruoruo smiled happily.
