Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

It's time to restrain yourself.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with being more restrained for this.

From now on, a wider world is waiting for me.

One day, you will be as free as this butterfly, without being confined to one place.

Chapter 517: Reform and the County Lord (5000) (4 more)

The emperor was very happy and immediately sent someone to reward the Minister's Mansion, and also emphasized that the reward was given to the young lady.

Liao Quan was still a little confused when he received the imperial edict.

It's just a festival, and I haven't done anything. Why did I get an imperial edict, and so many rewards?

What? What did my daughter do?

Liao Quan muttered in his heart, but still took the reward skillfully.

When his daughter came back, he asked about it and found out the whole story and the reason behind it.

"So you helped His Majesty find the problem with the memorial, so..."

"Wait, the Grand Tutor said you have the potential to be a great scholar?"

Liao Quan was surprised, but Kelanlan beside him directly hugged Keqing in her arms.

"What's your attitude? What's wrong with my daughter being a great scholar?"

Kelanlan has now completely become a daughter-boasting person. Even if the emperor wants to adopt her daughter as a princess, she thinks that her daughter must be so capable and lovely that the emperor would do so.

Anyway, no matter what, my daughter must be the best, no one can compare to her.

"No, it's not that I doubt it, but I'm a little surprised."

But was there so little surprise from his own daughter? He just thought about it casually and swept it away.

Alas, it is such a trouble to have such an outstanding daughter.

There are too many rewards, and they take up space at home.

The couple accepted it surprisingly quickly, but the others who heard it shook their heads.

How is that possible? It must be a gift from His Majesty for the sake of His Majesty's honor, or maybe His Majesty wants to find a reason to punish him.

Punish the prefect of Tongzhou Prefecture.

Who is the prefect's man? How dare he be so bold? He dared to deceive his superiors and subordinates. Could it be that the emperor had already known about the conspiracy, so he took action without firing a shot, just to catch the political mastermind?

So this time I discussed with the Taifu to use the child as an excuse to have a complete outburst.

Oh, it’s really scary to think about it.

All of a sudden, most officials did not dare to jump around at this critical juncture, and they themselves became those who were purged.

This made the emperor feel a little strange. Why have these officials been so obedient recently? They no longer shouted loudly during the morning court and were just like people in a vegetable market.

It's not lively anymore, I'm not used to it.

However, the eunuch beside him heard some of the reasons and whispered them to the emperor.

He found those rumors extremely funny. Was there any need to be so worried?

He really thought that the little guy was good, so he wanted to reward him.

However... this is also a good opportunity to see who has been contacting frequently, who is the most honest, and who has changed the most from usual. Maybe I can find out something fishy from it.

As expected, he did find some dishonest officials among them, some who were corrupt and committed abuse of power, some who deceived their superiors and humiliated the people. In this way, he cleaned up a lot of rotten teeth, which made people believe that this was indeed the plan planned by the emperor and the Taifu.

They are just preparing to liquidate some people, and this makes it more real.

This made Keqing calm down a bit.

"I heard that you were praised by the emperor? Did he really praise you?"

Hearing Zhou Ran's question, Keqing nodded.

"That's great. I also want to be praised by him."

Zhou Ran looked envious and pulled Keqing's sleeve.

"Do you think I can get praise from my eldest brother? It would be great if I could get praise."

His words implied that he wanted Keqing's help.

However, before Keqing could say anything, Zhou Yan sneered at her.

"Before His Majesty ascended the throne, you didn't seem to care much about him. Now that His Majesty has become His Majesty, you seem to be expressing how much you like him. Do you like His Majesty, or do you have other thoughts in mind?"

Zhou Yan's ridicule bluntly and directly revealed her inner thoughts, and Zhou Ran's face turned red and white.

However, at this moment, a hand suddenly rested on her head.

"Good boy, good boy~ You are the best"

Little Keqing brought a stone from somewhere, stood on the stone and touched Zhou Ran's head on tiptoe.

Zhou Yan turned cold, Zhou Yu beside her was stunned, and even Zhou Ran was at a loss.

"Keqing, what are you doing..."

Zhou Yu was dumbfounded.

"I'm praising Princess Ran. Doesn't Princess Ran want to be praised?"

She couldn't get the emperor to praise her, but she could praise herself.

"Good boy~ Princess Ran is the best."

"Study hard and become a talented woman who will be useful to the Great Zhou."

I saw that restless hand touching Zhou Ran's head and praising him earnestly.

A six-year-old child is standing on tiptoe and caressing a ten-year-old girl. The scene is weird no matter how you look at it.

Zhou Yan, who was sneering at the side, couldn't bear to watch it anymore and was speechless.

Didn’t you see Zhou Ran was trembling all over, his cheeks were red, his eyes were wide open, and he was so angry that he was about to cry! ?

Is Keqing deliberately humiliating me?

Zhou Yan was afraid that Keqing would be beaten by her sixth sister, who looked gentle on the outside but was actually very scheming, so she quickly stepped forward and stopped her fingers.

"Ahem, that's enough, that's enough."

Zhou Yan wanted to say something, but she saw Zhou Ran suddenly run away without saying a word.

"Wait, Princess, wait."

The maid beside her glared at Keqing fiercely, then hurriedly followed Zhou Ran away.

Only two adults and one child were left looking at each other.

"It's over now. You have completely offended Sixth Sister. I'm afraid you will be restless in the future."

Zhou Yu stroked his forehead.

How could Zhou Ran forget such humiliation? She was afraid that she would do all kinds of things to him in the future. Looking at Keqing who looked confused, Zhou Yan sighed.

"Hmph, little guy, just wish you the best."

Keqing: ???

Seeing Zhou Yan leave, Keqing was puzzled.

"No, isn't she very happy?"

……

On the other side, Zhou Ran, who had shaken off the woman, had arrived at one of her favorite secret places, tears streaming down her face.

"Mother..."

Keqing's soft and caring concern reminded her of the situation when her mother was still alive.

"Ran Ran...you are the best."

"My Ranran will definitely be so outstanding and will definitely marry a good man..."

"Ran Ran, mother doesn't have much time left... You have to please your royal brother. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you in the future."

The voices and smiles of the past were still vivid in her mind. She choked and buried her head deeply between her knees.

……

……

Zhou Yan and Zhou Yu both agreed that Keqing would be retaliated against in the next few days, or be bumped into by a maid or encounter some small insects or something. In any case, she would be very unlucky, or be involved in some trouble for no reason.

Zhou Yu is also familiar with Keqing, and the two can be considered friends, so he is very concerned, and Zhou Yan, who is standing by, keeps saying bad things.

, but I don’t want to see such a young girl encounter any problems.

After all, if it were discovered and I were implicated, wouldn’t I be the one taking the blame?

After all, I often make sarcastic remarks to the little guy.

Although she had no ill intentions, she had after all been praised by her eldest brother, and he must be very satisfied with her, so Zhou Yan also sent people to take care of her.

This made Keqing feel a little helpless, and she could only pout.

Forget it, just study hard!

Unexpectedly, nothing unexpected happened and everything was so natural. Even Zhou Ran behaved very normally and went to and from school with them normally without any trouble.

The two were confused.

What's going on? She's so angry, but this sixth sister doesn't do anything weird.

Seeing them so defensive, fearing that he would attack Keqing, Zhou Ran had a hint of sneer on his face.

However, Keqing spoke to her normally, without any defensiveness, which made her feel a little disdainful.

Fool, you don’t even know you’ve been sold.

But his tone was much better, and he actually sincerely mixed with a few people without realizing it.

Zhou Yan: What’s going on? I just sent someone to check on them, but how did it suddenly become a small group?

In short, Keqing single-handedly brought the three princesses together. The three of them, who were usually not harmonious or had no feelings for each other, could now often stay together, chat with each other, and discuss homework because of Keqing's existence.

In the end, we were able to study together.

At this time, the other two discovered that this seventh sister seemed a little different.

"How do you learn so quickly?"

"Don't you have a bad memory?!"

Zhou Yan and Zhou Ran were both a little puzzled. Do you think their sister was smart? But she wasn't. Do you think she was stupid? But she wasn't either.

In short, she was just average, not bad at all, just ordinary talent, about the same as them, or even worse than them. But now they saw that this cheap sister was much better at doing homework than them! It was completely different from before.

"Little Keqing is smart, but how could you have changed so much? Tell me, did you eat something good?"

"No, maybe he worked hard secretly!"

Faced with the two people's questioning, Zhou Yu kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything. He just raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at them smugly.

"I won't tell you!"

It was really infuriating, but Zhou Ran turned his eyes and looked at Keqing who was writing or drawing something nearby.

"It must be related to little Keqing."

Then he asked her quickly.

"Hey, want to memorize your lessons faster? Sure."

"Then Sister Yu's efficiency as Zheng Ao was also taught by you, right?"

"Ok!"

Seeing Zhou Yu suddenly running over, Keqing nodded.

"I told Sister Zhou Yu."

Wanting Keqing to stop saying anything for the time being so that he could feel proud for a while longer, Zhou Yu curled his lips.
