Soon it was November, and Mei Yi's request to return to Zhenling to report on her duties was finally approved. He arranged all the affairs for the past two months, appointed Illya as the temporary lord, and then took a carriage and drove in the five hundred

Under the protection of the cavalry, they drove away from Black Crystal City.

When he walked out of the lord's mansion, many residents of Sombra City braved the drizzle and spontaneously came to hold flowers to see him off. Meiyi was shocked when she saw it and yelled: "Hey, hey, hey, are you seeing him off or at a funeral?"

?I just went to the royal capital to report on my duties, not to perform an attack!"

The sadness of parting was immediately diluted by the laughter that filled the city.

Illya has always been very envious of Meiyi's appeal. Ordinary words can always make people resonate with her quickly and put her into it.

After a bumpy journey for more than ten days, Mei Yi and his party finally arrived outside Zhenling City. As soon as he, the captain of the guard Mei Fan, his secretary Evelin and several guards entered the city, they found Luo Luoqi, Ying Wu, Mei Lu Ke and

Ai Qilu was waiting for him at the city gate and quickly jumped off her horse.

Meiyi picked up Meluke, who was rushing towards him, and spun him around happily. He looked at Meluke, who was giggling, and said with a smile: "Meluke, when you grow up, you also change.

So beautiful. How are you doing recently?"

After being intimate with Mei Luke for a while, Mei Yi hugged Luo Luoqi again and shook hands with Ying Wu. Just as she was about to salute Ai Qilu, who was disguised as an ordinary female student, Ai Qilu stepped forward and hugged her.

Meiyi said softly: "You said you wanted to treat me as your sister, but you can't."

After comforting Ai Qilu, Meiyi got on Ai Qilu's carriage and headed to the palace with Yingwu and Mei Luke. He, Evelin and others agreed to meet at his small lakeside building in the evening.

On the carriage, Mei Yi stroked Meluke's hair in her arms and listened to Ying Wu's introduction to the political situation of the royal capital. When she heard that there was another invasion of monsters near the Tianlu Mountains and that the royal army suffered heavy losses, she felt a little heavy.

However, the heavy heart was soon diluted by the joy of reunion. Meiyi asked: "Princess Ai Qilu, have you received my letter?"

"I got it, don't worry. I've already made an agreement with my mother. As long as dad blames you, she will block it for you." Ai Qilu looked at Meiyi, who was a little nervous, and felt funny in her heart, "Also, be responsible for

I have already said hello to Duke Zezong, the chief of staff of the palace, Count Fei, the minister of lord affairs, and Liu Xin, the minister of affairs of the three clans, who are conducting the performance review, so I won’t embarrass you too much."

After arriving at the palace, Meiyi sat for a while, and then the protocol officer informed him to go see the king and accept questions.

After entering the king's office, Ye Su bowed politely to the king and the three senior ministers who had been sitting there.

When the king saw Meiyi, who seemed to have matured a lot in the dust, a warm current surged through his heart. However, he quickly controlled himself, straightened his face, and said sternly: "You have only been to Sombra City for a few months.

Why do you have to come back to report on your work? What, have you managed Black Crystal City and the surrounding 21 counties well?"

The king has received a lot of news from Black Crystal City in the past few months. Every time he sees the problems in Black Crystal City, he feels frightened. After seeing Mei Yi's governance measures, he is even more frightened. This bastard actually put

The lords of the twenty-one counties were directly imprisoned, and the titles of eighteen lords were removed. Is this a prelude to rebellion?

No, I must give him a blow.

Meiyi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty the King, I think I have done a pretty good job in governing the country. The floods and food shortages are over. There will be a bumper harvest in autumn, and there will be no worries about food supply in the next few years. By organizing flood relief and disaster relief, we have completed two tasks."

The power of the eleven counties has been integrated. Also, the problem of bandits is basically no longer a problem..."

"That's enough!" The king slammed the materials in his hand on the table and said in a cold voice, "Your work report was sent the day before yesterday. I will read some of it, so you don't need to say any more! You won't really

Did the eighteen lords starve to death?"

Mei Yi's mentality was probably clear. Her behavior in dealing with the nobles was a bit excessive, and she must have been sued by some big nobles. The king had to warn himself - it is true that the real power in the kingdom is the major lords, but these big nobles in the royal court

The influence is even more unfathomable.

Meiyi smiled and said, "How can that be impossible? They have only been hungry for a few days, and all the victims have already received relief food."

The king yelled: "Are you still reasonable? The nobles are the foundation of the kingdom! Even if they are guilty, as the great lord, you can deprive them of their lordship, but you have no right to abuse the nobles!"

Meiyi was speechless for a moment. The concept of aristocracy could not be changed in the kingdom in a short period of time. As he was looking around, the king said: "Don't waste your efforts! Do you think I don't know your little tricks? The queen went to do other things.

Don’t think about anyone coming to save you today!”

Meiyi muttered a few words: "What's wrong with being hungry for a few days? I didn't eat in those days, so I couldn't have lived well. Besides, I didn't cut off their water. What I drank was rainwater, and what they drank was still black."

The mountain spring in Jingcheng..."

The king and the three ministers were stunned for a while. After a long time, Duke Zezong, the chief of staff of the palace, spoke: "Your Majesty, forget it, just teach him a lesson. If it weren't for Lord Meiyi who continued to carry out disaster relief work day and night

, I am afraid that not thousands of people will starve to death this time, but hundreds of thousands of people, and then it will be a civil unrest!"

The king was speechless for a moment and waved his hand to let the three ministers speak.

Liu Xin, the minister of affairs of the three tribes, said: "Lord Meiyi, your territory is closely connected with the territory of Fengzhi, the territory of Great Lord Qiji. Some people say that you have been ruthless to the lords in your jurisdiction, and you have been slow to fill the vacancies.

It is to introduce human influence. It is true that humans are part of the elven kingdom, but you are a sensible person, so we don’t need to talk about it."

Mei Yi said sternly: "I am a lord conferred by the king and the future queen, not a lord conferred by Qi Yan. Those key positions are vacant, and I plan to use this opportunity to come back to report on my work to recruit at the major colleges of Zhenling and Hualing.

.Whether it’s fairies, elves or humans, as long as you have talent, I want it.”

The four of them still don't understand what Mei Yi means - there are only a few human beings in the ten academies of Hua Ling and Zhen Ling?

Meiyi thought for a while and then said: "The rift between humans and elves and goblins is difficult to mend, but this is no longer within my ability. Otherwise? Anyway, the situation in Black Crystal City is now stable. Your Majesty the King, you can

I'd rather be an elf or goblin and become the great lord. Being a great lord is too tiring, so I might as well just find a school to be my teacher..."

When the king heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over. He slammed the table and said sternly: "You have become more capable after becoming the great lord, why don't you stop talking? There are rifts between the three clans, but we old bones haven't given up yet.

, why did you give in so easily, little brat?"

Meiyi defended: "I just want you not to face this kind of pressure..."

The king laughed a few times and said: "What do you know, you little brat? Do you think that great lords are deposed casually? I have withdrawn you now. Do you believe that Qi Min will fall out with me soon and run to the south immediately?"

Go to establish your own kingdom? There is no need to talk about this matter. After two months, you can go back and become your lord!"

The king and the three ministers asked Meiyi a lot of questions until the sunset, then let him go.

Outside the king's office, Meiyi's voice complaining to the princess clearly reached the ears of the king and others - "Princess sister, no, princess sister, Your Majesty the Queen, didn't you say that everything will be left to you? Will the Queen come out to save me?

?Where are the people? Look, my clothes are all wet."

Ai Qilu said strangely: "It's strange. Mom said she would attend your work report meeting. I didn't hear her say anything else."

The king stood up and closed the door, and said to the three ministers and the queen who came out from behind the curtain: "Queen, ministers, what do you think of this boy's performance in his performance today?"

Zezong put down the pen in his hand, took off his reading glasses, and said seriously: "For a moment, he reminded me of a person in the history of the Elf Kingdom. To be precise, he was a human being."

"who?"

"The leader of Emilia's Royal Palace Knights—Melosia!"

"Zezong, why are you so good at joking today? You raise him too high! Meloshia is the founding father of the Elf Kingdom, and is a near-god existence written into the teachings of the Goddess Cult!"

Zezong said seriously: "No, Your Majesty, I don't like humans very much, and I know that many people call me a conservative behind my back, but I love talents, and it's too late for me to like such a young man. Your Majesty, you must be in Meiyi's house

Make a decision about your marriage early and never let the tragedy of Queen Amelia’s period happen again!”

The king was silent for a while and then said: "I will let the queen do her job. Don't care about other people's opinions. The royal court is only about balance. Both conservatives and liberals should have their own place in the kingdom." (Unfinished)
