Chapter 335 Ordinary but Confident

While he was speechless, his focus shifted, and he whispered back, "The Bei family is clearly the last of the five surnames, and the other four families all say that you are nouveau riche."

The little eyes that stole a glance at Bei Jingchu observed her expression. Seeing that she was not angry, someone became even bolder and continued to chatter: "It was only the late emperor who forced the historians to record that the Bei family was the first of the five surnames."

Bei Jingchu: “…”

It turns out there is such a thing, but it doesn’t matter. Bei Jingchu has long realized that the Bei family is shameless.

After Xu Chengzhu left, Bei Jingchu was in a good mood.

I guess it's the feeling of having some clue about my work.

She temporarily put aside her official duties and went for a stroll in the small garden of the East Palace.

The sunshine in warm spring is bright, but not as harsh as that in midsummer, and the peach trees are covered with fallen petals.

She took a break from her busy schedule, lying down in a chair and drinking by herself, feeling warm and comfortable.

I feel a little regretful. If I had known that Xu was reluctant to leave just now, I should have kept him.

Now there is no one to play with her.

Just when I was thinking about whether to ask someone to bring Nian'er over, I heard Zhou Huanjiu asking for a meeting.

Bei Jingchu had someone take her directly to the garden.

Zhou Huanjiu walked over, walked familiarly to the chair closest to Bei Jingchu and sat down.

"You are busy, I don't mean to bother you."

"I met my cousin yesterday, and he said he had a magical plan for you."

"Although I don't have a relationship with my uncle's family, it's good for you. It's just a little conflict. There's nothing to be intolerable."

She said it lightly, but Bei Jingchu didn't really think it was a small contradiction, because she had eaten the whole melon at that time.

Whose minor conflicts among relatives would lead to the immediate expulsion of an orphan and a widow after they found they were no longer of any use?

Bei Jing softened her heart, and was able to bring someone who was at odds with her in front of her, while Jiujiu was still as naive as ever.

She raised her eyebrows slightly.

"A divine plan? That's quite a boast."

"Let him present a memorial so I can see what the plan is."

Although he is a bit pretentious, Bei Jingchu can still tolerate his pretentiousness for someone who can really get things done.

The premise is that you are really talented, otherwise...

Zhou Huanjiu smiled awkwardly, "That's what I said, but he refused."

"He said it was a plan to fill the national treasury, and he wouldn't say anything else."

"The reason is that he was afraid that I would plagiarize his plan and let someone close to me take over."

Bei Jingchu:......

"Then you will see whether your cousin's ability is worthy of his arrogance."

The next day, a man was brought into the East Palace by Zhou Huanjiu.

The visitor held his hands high and bowed respectfully, but he could not hide his arrogance at all.

"I am Li Zong, and I am here to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The name sounded familiar, but Bei Jing didn't remember it when she was in the first grade.

She looked up, asked him to stand up, then lowered her head again to look at the document in her hand, leaving only one ear free to listen to the so-called wise advice.

It was a very normal attitude, but Li Zong felt that he was being discriminated against.

The so-called benevolent prince is just seeking fame!

With his talent, he wanted to find a wise master, but he was met with a cold shoulder as soon as he arrived.

Li Zong was the child that the Li family had invested all their hopes in. When he was a child, his family spent a large amount of money to send him to Wenqin Academy.

He has always been praised by his father and son for his talent, but apart from political history and policy theory, he is weak in all other subjects.

Originally, he wanted to marry into the Duke of Xin's mansion and seek for a title, but in the end, the Duke of Xin was demoted to a commoner.

Then, his cousin Zhou Huanjiu suddenly became a new elite, but ended up being deeply offended by his parents.

Li Zong felt that he was a genius, but his talent was not appreciated. Only when he met a wise leader who could guide him could he succeed.

After much deliberation, I decided that asking my cousin for help might be the way to connect with the prince.

The Crown Princess is a woman, and it must be very difficult for her to sit on the throne. She needs someone like him to help her achieve more achievements and secure her position.
