Generalissimo Shang and Emperor Western Qin still had something to discuss, so Ling Yuanqian and Princess Anding withdrew from the imperial study.
"Young Master Ling, does this palace have a question for you?" Princess Anding stopped him.
Ling Yuanqian stopped: "Princess, please speak." โ
"I've heard such a sentence in this palace, learn to become a martial artist and sell it to the emperor's family, why don't you want to ask for your father's reward after you have made great achievements?" Princess Anding didn't understand, "Even if you guard Western Qin with a pure heart, there will be no conflict when you become an official in the court." โ
Ling Yuanqian replied: "What the princess said is that there is no conflict between entering the court as an official and defending the country, but for the grass people, the interest rate of fame is just a passing cloud, and if you can refuse, you will refuse." โ
Princess Anding muttered, "Passing by the clouds and ......"
Looking at the man in front of him, he seems to be a weak scholar, but in fact he is full of wealth and is an extremely transparent person.
"Ling Gongzi, this palace admires your personality, invites you to visit Bishui Lake in three days, and also invites Gongzi to appreciate his face. โ
Ling Yuanqian hesitated for a moment: "Princess, this is not appropriate." โ
Looking at the suspicious flush on his face, Princess Anding smiled heartily: "Ling Gongzi rest assured, this palace will invite the prince's brother and others to swim in the lake, there are many people to be fun." โ
Ling Yuanqian's face was a little different, he misunderstood the princess, and hurriedly saluted Princess Anding: "It's the grass people who are pedantic, please don't blame the princess." Three days later, the grass people will definitely go. โ
Ling Yuanqian was very embarrassed that he misunderstood the meaning of the princess, so he directly agreed immediately, and he couldn't bear to refuse the princess with a hearty temperament.
Princess Anding looked at Ling Yuanqian's back, and said to Aunt Jinyu: "Auntie, send a letter to Captain Zhou for the palace, and visit Bishui Lake in three days." The prince's brother is there, and the palace personally goes to invite it. โ
Aunt Jinyu was a little worried: "Princess, don't you want to take this opportunity to test Captain Zhou?"
"Auntie, don't guess this, this palace knows it. โ
Aunt Jinyu smiled and said, "Okay, the princess is smart and has her own ideas, so the slave will do as the princess instructs." โ
Three days later
Ling Yuanqian arrived early, looking at the ripples of the blue water, speaking of which, he hadn't been swimming in the lake for a long time, probably since the year he left the capital, it had been seven or eight years.
"Young Master Ling, I've kept you waiting. "Princess Anding and the crown prince came over.
Ling Yuanqian hurriedly saluted the nobleman: "Grass people Ling Yuanqian see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess." โ
The crown prince waved his hand: "Young Master Ling doesn't have to be polite, your affairs have been told by the palace in this palace, and the palace will thank you on behalf of the people of Western Qin." โ
Ling Yuanqian hurriedly shook his head: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is what the grass people should do, so you don't have to mention it again." โ
Princess Anding also shook her imperial brother's sleeve: "Brother Prince, didn't Anding tell you that Ling Gongzi doesn't like to be public, so don't say it again." โ
The prince smiled: "Okay, good, don't say it, don't say it." โ
He looked around and asked, "Didn't you say that you were going to invite Captain Zhou?"
Princess Anding said with a smile: "Brother Prince, this time has not yet come, we are here early." Why don't we get on the boat and wait, it should be almost there. โ
Then he instructed Aunt Jinyu: "Auntie, you are waiting for Captain Zhou here, if he comes, lead him to the boat." โ
The three of them got on the boat, and Princess Anding specially made tea with her own hands and poured a cup for the prince and Ling Yuanqian herself.
"Brother Prince, Ling Gongzi, try the tea brewed in this palace, this is brewed with dew collected in this palace, and it tastes very good. โ
Ling Yuanqian thanked Princess Anding: "Thank you, princess, the grass people will be informal." โ
Princess Anding smiled: "There is no need to be formal, this palace likes to talk to people with a hearty temperament." โ
The prince took a sip of the tea in his hand and said with a smile: "Stability, your tea art has improved again." Ling Gongzi, you can also taste it, this taste is really good. โ
Ling Yuanqian nodded, sniffed lightly, and then drank it all in one gulp: "Sure enough, it is good tea, the princess's tea art is extraordinary, and the grass people admire it." โ
"Looking at Ling Gongzi's elegant posture, I think he is also a child of the family. The prince said thoughtfully. Originally, he just heard Princess Anding say that this person worshiped under the name of the Generalissimo Shang, was good at tactics, and held the southern Xinjiang before, and he was the leader, but Emperor Xiqin did not mention this person, so he only thought that Ling Yuanqian was a white cloth, but there was a master of the Generalissimo Shang, but now it seems that he has ignored something.
There are not many nobles surnamed Ling in the capital, except for one Lingguo Mansion.
"Are you from the Ling Guo Mansion?" the prince asked.
Ling Yuanqian replied, "Ling Guogong is the elder brother of the grass people. โ
As soon as he said this, the prince vaguely remembered: "This palace remembers in a trance that Ling Guogong has a younger brother who was talented when he was young, but not long after the death of the old Ling Guogong, this Ling Gongzi disappeared, it is said that he went out to travel, this person is you?"
Ling Yuanqian nodded: "It's the grass people." โ
Princess Anding smiled: "No wonder you say that fame and fortune are fleeting, you are a detached person in the red world, it is not surprising that you can have this idea." โ
Only those who have had fame and fortune are qualified to say that these are floating clouds, and they cannot be judged if they have not seen or touched something, otherwise they are all vain.
"Let the princess laugh, the grass people are just laymen, but they have always liked to do whatever they want, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princess to forgive me. โ
Princess Anding waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's too late for this palace to admire you, do whatever you want, this word this palace likes." โ
"What are you guys doing!"
Coldly, an angry roar reached everyone's ears. The crown prince's brows furrowed slightly, and Princess Anding looked back at the person who spoke, and frowned.
The person who spoke was none other than Zhou Yi. Since Zhou Yi received a letter from the princess three days ago, inviting him to swim in the lake, he was overjoyed and came to the appointment on time, but as soon as he got on the boat, he saw Princess Anding smiling at Ling Yuanqian.
He looked at Princess Anding's eyes, as if a husband had caught his wife cheating.
"Princess, how can you be in the same room with a strange man!" Zhou Yi couldn't swallow this breath.
The prince's face darkened, but Zhou Yi didn't see him beside him. The prince looked at the princess Anding, endured this breath, now he is not suitable to speak, it is better to leave it to Princess Anding to do it herself.
Princess Anding said in a cold voice: "Captain Zhou, this palace is just drinking tea and swimming in the lake with friends, do you still have any objections." โ
Zhou Yi looked at Ling Yuanqian, he didn't know this young man, but seeing his clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, elegant and calm, he had a bad premonition in his heart, but he thought that Princess Anding liked a heroic hero, and this weak boy should not be the type that Princess Anding liked. Thinking like this, Fang Cai's anger gradually subsided.
Goodbye to the person sitting next to him is not His Royal Highness the Prince, Fang Jue felt that he was out of order, and hurriedly asked the prince and princess for the guilt: "Zhou Yi just lost his words, and please ask the prince and the princess not to blame." โ
Princess Anding didn't talk, Zhou Yifang was yelling at her, she was so big, she hadn't been yelled at before, even Emperor Xiqin had never spoken to her so loudly.
"It's all right, since you're here, sit down. The prince spoke, Zhou Yi's sister was still his side concubine, and it was inconvenient for him to do too much.
"Ling Gongzi, I'm sorry. Princess Anding apologized to Ling Yuanqian, the person was invited by her, not so much that it was her who roared at Zhou Yi, but that he was reprimanding Ling Yuanqian.
Ling Yuanqian shook his head: "The grass people are fine, but princess, don't take it to heart." โ
Zhou Yi saw that Princess Anton ignored herself, restrained her emotions, and smiled at Princess Anding: "Princess, there is a lotus pond in the east of Bishui Lake, and now new leaves are growing, and the scenery is very good, why don't you go there and have a look?"
Princess Anding looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Ling Yuanqian: "Brother Prince, Ling Gongzi, what do you think?"
The prince nodded: "Then go and have a look." โ
Ling Yuanqian smiled lightly: "Listen to His Highness's arrangement." โ
"Ling Gongzi, you said that you are not formal, you come out to play to have fun, if you have a better proposal, then we will not go to see the lotus pond. โ
Ling Yuanqian shook his head: "Please forgive me, the grass people have been away from the capital for many years, and the grass people here really don't know." โ
Princess Anding said with a smile: "I really envy that you can travel around, Ling Gongzi might as well talk about the scenery outside, so that the palace can also feel it, is it better than the capital." โ
Ling Yuanqian shook his head: "Each place has different customs, forgive the grass people for not being good at words, I really don't know how to describe it." โ
Zhou Yi hurriedly took over: "Princess, if you like the scenery elsewhere, Zhou Yi will definitely take the princess to play in the future." โ
Princess Anding frowned slightly and did not answer. She didn't know what to say, did she want to say that I didn't plan to marry you, and I wouldn't go with you.
Zhou Yi was bored, and the prince and Ling Yuanqian both pretended to look at the scenery, so they didn't hear it.
The lotus pond on the east side of Bishui Lake is really good, although it is not yet the time for the lotus flowers to bloom, but this new lotus leaf has grown.
The corners of Princess Anding's lips couldn't help but raise a smile: "The color of this newly grown lotus leaf is fresh, like a green girl." โ
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a certain place and said, "There is a flower bud there." โ
Zhou Yi's face was overjoyed: "Princess, wait for me to take it off for you." โ
"Alas, wait. Princess Anding stopped him, "This palace knows that you are good at martial arts, this palace wants to see Ling Gongzi's martial arts today, I don't know if Ling Gongzi can pick off the bud without touching the lotus leaf next to him." โ
The prince smiled: "Anding, isn't it a problem for you, this bud grows in the middle of the layers of lotus leaves, if you want not to touch the lotus leaves, you can only reach in and pick it from the side with a hand, which is not easy." โ
Princess Anding smiled and said, "Young Master Ling, can you open the eyes of this palace?"
Ling Yuanqian hesitated for a moment and nodded: "The grass people obey the order." โ
And Zhou Yi's face turned blue, he was the number one warrior in the army.
