The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the imperial city, and the crisp sound of the bell attracted people to look sideways, but what made people pay more attention to the origin of the carriage. www.biquge.info In Ling State, the officials must identify themselves on the carriage, but this carriage obviously does not, so people have to be curious about the identities of the people inside. Xiao Yiming originally wanted to enter the palace as soon as possible, but when he saw the carriage of unknown origin, he paused, and a trace of strangeness crossed his eyes.

Thinking of this, the color of interest in his eyes became more and more intense, and he was very much looking forward to this duel with the legendary county lord.

Qing Zhi grabbed the rope and stopped the carriage, Yan Shu immediately raised the door curtain, and Lan Hui came out of it, standing quietly on the side and waiting, and when the moon-white figure appeared, he hurriedly reached out to help her down.

All the people present lost their minds in an instant, the woman stood with a smile, her eyebrows were picturesque, her skin was better than snow, her eyes were like a clear spring, clear and translucent, and she became noble and elegant when she looked forward to it, so that people couldn't take their eyes off but didn't dare to blaspheme. A head like a waterfall green silk is loosely pulled up, only decorated with a warm white hosta, a few strands of hair escaped confinement and hung down on the shoulders, casual with a woman's unique softness. There is a beautiful woman in the north, who is independent and independent, looking at the city, and then looking at the country, the eternal quatrain that originally only existed in a beautiful fantasy finally has the best portrayal.

"Miss, get dressed quickly, don't get cold. Lan Hui took the coat handed by Qing Zhe and put it on the woman, and An Ning smiled slightly and let her take care of it.

"Lord Qingning, I've admired my name for a long time. Xiao Yiming strode up to the woman, and his narrow eyes hid a deep smile.

An Ning also smiled back, and Wen said: "It turned out to be General Chenghe, it's better to see it than to hear it." ”

Xiao Yiming looked at the delicate woman in front of him, thinking that she was very different from the rumored image, but he still didn't dare to despise her. "The county lord of Qingning is also here, thinking that this will be the most grand and wonderful New Year banquet in Ling Kingdom. ”

"General Xiao thinks highly of me. An Ning replied quietly.

"Let's stop standing here, the emperor must have waited for a long time, let's go in quickly." Xiao Yiming straightened his body and stretched out his hand towards the palace door, humble and polite. An Ning bowed slightly, raised her feet and walked in, Xiao Yiming slightly hooked the corners of her lips and followed her.

Behind him, the three of them followed unhurriedly, he raised his eyes and looked at the man who was talking to the woman, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "We have to keep an eye on that man, and we can't let him take a step closer to Lord Ning at the banquet." ”

Yan Shu agreed, and said in a low voice: "Later, you and I will be responsible for dealing with those people, and you will stay by the county lord's side to protect Lan Hui." ”

"No problem. Lan Hui's face was cold, and there was no smile in his eyes when he looked at the man.

The banquet hall was already in a celebratory atmosphere, and the officials were chatting and laughing in groups, which was undoubtedly harmonious compared to the solemnity and restraint above the court and the intrigue in private. And when they saw the two of them entering the hall, they stopped one after another, looking at them differently, it was them Chenghe General, so who was the stunning woman beside him? I haven't heard that the general has the intention of marrying a wife.

Ling Moxing, who was discussing something with his subordinates, subconsciously looked at the door, his pupils shook suddenly, his eyes locked on the two of them, how could he have expected that these two would come together, could An Ning have any other plans? These thoughts only flashed in his mind, and he had already stepped up to the two: "Lord Qingning, General Xiao." ”

An Ning bowed his head, and Xiao Yiming leaned over and saluted, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Okay, don't stand, take a seat, the New Year's banquet is about to begin. Ling Moxing turned slightly sideways to let Xiao Yiming go, and then watched the woman talk as if she was chatting about family life, and asked some questions about the queen's condition.

This kind of conversation is obviously reasonable, Xiao Yiming flashed his eyes and left the table. Seeing this, Ling Moxing's expression on his face remained unchanged, but he lowered his voice and asked, "Why did you come together?"

I just met at the gate of the palace and chatted a few words. An Ning smiled faintly.

"Well, you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, we'll take care of it. Ling Moxing looked at the petite woman who only reached his chest, his indifferent gaze softened slightly, and he owed her a favor after all. However, when he saw that all the people around him were looking at her, their eyes were either amazed or inquiring, their faces sank, and they moved their feet to stand in front of her with some displeasure, blocking most of her gaze.

An Ning was stunned, a different color crossed her eyes, and then she smiled, Gu Zi took a seat, and the person opposite happened to be Xiao Yiming, the general of Chenghe. He sat in his seat, his back still straight, his resolute face without any expression, and he was out of place with the officials who were chatting happily and with a lazy posture. As if sensing her gaze, he looked up and saw that it was still an indifferent and polite smile, and then he withdrew his gaze and did not know what he was pondering. An Ning couldn't help but be a little curious, could such a person be the kind of traitorous villain who wants to seek power and usurp the throne?

Just as she was thinking wildly, Emperor Ling, who was wearing a red embroidered dragon pattern brocade robe, stepped onto the dragon chair, and the hundred officials immediately got up and rushed to the people seated to congratulate him. Emperor Ling's interest was very good, after they were seated, they chatted a few words like homely, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and waved it at everyone, and said with a smile: "In the past year, Ling Guo is still a country and a peaceful country, I hope that the new year will be like this, I will drink and worship the sky first!"

The officials all picked up the wine cup and drank the glass of wine with the emperor, but Xiao Yiming stroked the wine cup lightly, staring at the rippling wine, and his expression was careless and didn't know what he was thinking. Emperor Ling caught a glimpse of this after drinking a cup, his eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly, and he suddenly smiled: "Why doesn't Xiao Aiqing drink it, and she still looks restless?"

Xiao Yiming smiled faintly when he heard this: "I don't know how the minister always feels that something bad is going to happen, today is the new year, the minister doesn't want to spoil the good atmosphere but is always uneasy in his heart, and I hope the emperor will forgive me." As he spoke, he placed the glass in his hand on the table, as if he was not going to drink it.

Emperor Ling's eyebrows froze, but the smile on his face did not decrease, he shook his head with a smile as if helplessly and sighed: "Aiqing has really fought a lot of battles, and this vigilance is very accessible, so it doesn't matter." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Xiao Yiming narrowed his eyes in response, and then he seemed to think of something and hurriedly asked, "The minister almost forgot, dare to ask the emperor, how is the queen's condition?"

As soon as this sentence was asked, the originally harmonious banquet hall suddenly froze, and the hundred officials wisely chose to remain silent after looking at each other. Xiao Yiming didn't realize it, his eyes were fixed on Emperor Ling, the concern on his face couldn't be more real, as if he was really worried about the queen's body, if he ignored the smile in his eyes.

Ling Moxing had a cold face, and replied lightly: "The situation of the queen mother is very good, with the treatment of the county lord of Qingning, it will be fine soon, and General Lao Xiao is not worried." ”

His long and narrow eyes flashed, and a complicated look quickly swept through the bottom of his eyes, he turned his head to look at the woman who was quietly sipping tea opposite, and slowly hooked the corners of his lips and sighed: "Yes, why did the minister forget, there is a skilled Qingning county lord here, how can the queen have something?"
