Chapter 2184: Nice Words
Although Zheng Qiu is tall, he is not strong!
When she heard Lord Liu calling him "strong man" as soon as he got on the car, her eyebrows couldn't help jumping.
"Lord Liu, just call me Zheng the coroner. I really can't bear the title of strong man!" Zheng Qiu sat upright and bowed to Lord Liu who sat down last.
Gu Xin and Bai Yi Bai Er couldn't help laughing.
The three of them all knew that Zheng Qiu was a real girl. He could make girls fall in love with him even when he was wearing men's clothes, which meant that he was good-looking. Lord Liu directly called him a warrior. Tsk...
"Hey, look at me, I'm so confused!" Lord Liu saw Gu Xin and the others laughing, and he slapped his head and laughed himself. He bowed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Zheng the coroner. It's true that Zheng the coroner doesn't look like a coroner. The coroners I've seen are all old men. Zheng the coroner is handsome and elegant. Otherwise, I'll call you Mr. Zheng!"
"Okay, Lord Liu. As long as you don't call me a warrior, it doesn't matter if you call me a villain or a little Zheng." Zheng Qiu smiled and said.
"I'm Bai Yi, the guard beside the princess! Lord Liu, just call me Guard Bai!" Bai Yi also clasped his fists to Lord Liu and said.
"I'm Bai Er, the guard beside the princess." Bai Er also clasped his fists and introduced himself.
The two of them said to the outside world that they were Gu Xin's guards. Sometimes they didn't show up, but they were always in the dark, so they were generally not called secret guards.
"Two white guards!" Lord Liu bowed.
"Okay, everyone knows each other. We all work for the court, so don't be so polite!" Gu Xin spoke at the right time and asked, "Lord Liu, how many years have you been in Taizhou?"
"Princess, I have been the prefect of Taizhou for more than five years. After this year, it will be six years." Lord Liu immediately cheered up and said, "I am not bragging. In the past few years, the people in Taizhou have lived very well. There are even few beggars on the street."
"Lord Liu, do you want me to go back and tell the emperor about the situation in Taizhou?" Gu Xin didn't speak in an official tone and asked directly.
"..." It was the first time that Lord Liu encountered such a direct answer, but he reacted quickly. After a pause, he said, "The princess can go shopping in Taizhou Prefecture in the next few days. If she wants to go hiking or have fun, I can find a guide for her. If the princess is satisfied, I naturally hope that she can say a few good words for me in front of His Majesty."
"Okay! Let's talk about it after I go shopping! I like people like Lord Liu who speak straightforwardly!" Gu Xin responded without hesitation.
Lord Liu didn't expect Gu Xin to agree directly, he was so excited!
If this was not in the carriage, his operating range was relatively small, he would have held Gu Xin's hand and wiped his tears.
It's not easy. He had offended someone from the Ministry of Personnel before. Although Taizhou Prefecture is close to the capital, he is also a local official. If he doesn't make great achievements, he will never be able to return to the capital in this life.
The key is that the person from the Ministry of Personnel is still in office.
Now that he has Princess Xinxin, he feels at ease.
Even if he can't say that he will definitely go back, at least he can let the emperor know that he is really conscientious in being the prefect and not lazy at all.
Princess Xinxin is willing to go out and have fun, and she will definitely ask the people about the government office, and the people will definitely say good things about him.
He is waiting to return to Beijing to report on his work at the end of his three-year term this year, instead of being blocked by others like three years ago.
