With the emperor's decree, the court acted quickly and the award to Miss Jun came down three days later.

The reward was very generous and was announced to the world so that the people would know about it. In addition to gold, silver, jade and silk, he was also given the title of county lord.

"The Lord of Shanyang County."

Chen Qi talked about the news he got.

"It's quite close to our home."

"Then Shanyang County will belong to my sister from now on?" Zhao Hanqing said on the side.

Chen Qi laughed out loud.

"You wish," he said. "It's just a title."

"What's the use of that? It's neither food nor clothing." Zhao Hanqing said with a sneer.

Liu Er made a sound.

"What do you know? Of course it's for food and use." She said, "County Lord is a title, similar to the Duke of Chengguo, with salary and prestige."

"My sister has neither lack of money nor prestige," said Zhao Hanqing.

Look at how powerful your sister is! Liu Er thought subconsciously and angrily, but then she came to her senses and realized that her sister was her own lady, so of course her own lady was powerful.

I'm really pissed off at this guy. It was obviously she who did the thing of flattering the young lady.

Liu'er stamped her feet and looked at Miss Jun.

"Miss, you are amazing. You have become a county magistrate." She said with a beaming face.

Miss Jun said "oh" with a half-smile.

"My Lord," she said, "yes, very good."

Zhu Zan, who was silent and seemed non-existent, raised his head and looked at her.

The emperor's daughter is given the title of princess, the prince's daughter is given the title of county princess, and the prince's daughter is given the title of county princess. She was originally a county princess, so she must be a princess.

It must be both ridiculous and sad for a former princess to be named a county lord.

"Not really." Miss Jun said, "I'm quite happy."

At this time, she had already returned to the house. Liu'er and Zhao Hanqing were arguing in the yard. Fang Jinxiu ignored them all the time. Chen Qi went to Deshengchang to see Fang Chengyu.

The imperial edict was about to be issued. There were many things that needed to be prepared, including expressing gratitude, having an audience, and congratulating the people. Fang Chengyu and Manager Liu were busy discussing it.

The house was quiet, and people were walking around in the yard, with their voices adding a lively but not noisy feel, making the place pleasant and peaceful.

"The princess is a thing of the past. She is dead." Miss Jun continued, "I have gone from being a princess to a commoner with nothing, and now I have been granted the title of county lord step by step."

She looked at Zhu Zan, raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"We already have the county lord, how far is the princess?"

"You really are..." Zhu Zan was about to blurt out the words subconsciously when he saw her improper look, but he swallowed them back halfway and bit the root of his tongue. His face was distorted in pain, but he still tried his best to keep a straight expression.

"...That's a good idea," he said.

Miss Jun chuckled.

"Hey, Zhu Zan, just say whatever you want to say," she said, "don't be so insincere."

Zhu Zan looked to the side.

"I don't mean it," he said. "It's really good."

Miss Jun's eyes turned slightly.

"Who is better, Jun Jiuling or Chu Jiuling?" she asked.

Zhu Zan's face flushed, then turned pale. His eyes were filled with shame and annoyance, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched.

"You, if you have something to say, just say it." He said in a muffled voice, "Don't bully me like this."

Miss Jun chuckled, but quickly held it back.

"So, what do you want to tell me?" she asked.

Zhu Zan was stunned. Just now, everyone left after the discussion, and only he followed in.

I followed in subconsciously.

His face turned red again and he wanted to give an explanation, but looking at the woman's half-smile, what explanation could deceive her?

Zhu Zan opened his mouth, turned around and strode out.

Miss Jun felt a little amused and helpless.

"Why did you become so timid?" she said. "I feel a little embarrassed for bullying him."

She turned around and was about to go upstairs when the sound of footsteps rang out and the delicate person came back.

"Yes, I don't deny it." Zhu Zan said with a gloomy face, "I was not good to Jun Jiuling before. Even if you ask me now whether I was good to Jun Jiuling, I can still answer you that I was not good to her."

Miss Jun looked at him and shook her head.

"No, you're very good to me," she said. "You do what you promised, and you mean it sincerely, which is good."

"What are you saying?" Zhu Zan said in a muffled voice.

"I'm not saying anything sarcastic. The facts are clear for you to see." Miss Jun said, spreading her hands.

Zhu Zan looked at her.

"Anyway, whether you think I'm arrogant at first and respectful later, or whatever, I don't deny that I treat you differently," he said.

Miss Jun thought about it and nodded.

"I understand." She said, "You know Chu Jiuling, but you are a stranger to Jun Jiuling, so of course your attitude is different."

So easy to talk to...

Or maybe she has always been so easy to talk to, but I just feel differently?

Really…

Zhu Zan clenched and unclenched his hands at his sides and looked down at his feet.

"But, in the future, it will be the same. Don't have any wild thoughts about the attitudes of the two of us." He didn't know what to say, so he took a deep breath and raised his head, "Anyway, this is how I am."

"Of course not." Miss Jun said seriously, "I have been like this since the first day you met me. Whether it's Jun Jiuling or Chu Jiuling, I'm used to it. You just aren't used to it yet. You'll be fine once you get used to it."

Zhu Zan stomped his feet on the ground and said "oh".

"You'll get used to it," he said.

There was silence in the room for a moment.

"Would you like to come up and sit down?" Miss Jun looked at him and asked.

Zhu Zan said "oh".

"No need. I'll just watch from outside. The news has been announced. The guy named Lu will definitely come up with some tricks again." He said, glancing at her quickly, "You, you should take a rest."

Having said that, he turned around and walked out quickly.

Miss Jun looked at his back, shook her head and smiled, saying, "Just get used to it slowly."

Yes, you'll get used to it slowly, Zhu Zan said as he stood in the corridor and let out a breath.

It’s really hard to get used to it.

She is the Nine-Year-Old Princess. This is what the Nine-Year-Old Princess is like.

Zhu Zan looked at the sky.

What did the Nine-Year-Old Princess look like? He suddenly couldn't remember.

It's such a headache and confusion. I don't know what to think.

In fact, since that night, he should have thought about many things, but he thought about nothing. He didn't know how to think or what to think.

Just like now, I don’t know what to do except gritting my teeth, taking a deep breath and scratching my hair.

"Would you like some medicine?"

A voice rang in my ears.

Zhu Zan raised his head suddenly and saw Liu'er and Zhao Hanqing standing in front of him. They were staring at him curiously.

Liu'er was holding a porcelain bottle in her hand.

"What?" he said shyly.

"My Lord, I see you smiling one moment and frowning the next, are you having hysterics?" Liu'er said, shaking the porcelain bottle in her hand. "This is a newly made tranquilizing pill, very expensive. I'll sell it to you at a lower price."

Zhu Zan said "Puh" and walked away quickly.

Liu'er curled her lips at Zhao Hanqing.

"I told you it's okay," she said. "My lady doesn't want him anymore, so it's normal for him to go crazy."

Zhao Hanqing nodded in approval.

"I can't imagine what would happen to me if my sister didn't want me," she said.

Fang Jinxiu, who had come out to pay attention to this side, rolled her eyes when she heard the noise.

A bunch of abnormal guys!
