The palace was still majestic, and with the majesty of the forest, Ling Yun bowed his head and bent down, and respectfully followed the eunuch to the front of the imperial study. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the Emperor of the Apocalypse could report from the eunuch, he stood up with great interest, with a smile on his face, and greeted Ling Yun outside the imperial study.

Seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse come out, Ling Yun was about to salute the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but before he could bend down, he was pulled up by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Ling Aiqing, quick, come in with me, I have something important to discuss with you."

It was not the first time that Ling Yun had seen the apocalypse, but this affectionate act made Ling Yun start to think crankily: "Something strange! I've known the emperor for so long, I've never seen the emperor so happy, ...... today"

Just as Ling Yun was thinking, Apocalypse pulled Ling Yun to the dragon case.

Ling Yun raised his eyes slightly, looked at the apocalypse sitting on the dragon chair, was confused, and asked in great confusion: "Your Majesty, I don't know what orders you have when you come to Xuan Bei?" ”

Tianqi's lips curled slightly, and he waved his hand: "Come, stand up straight, raise your head!" ”

This made Ling Yun even more puzzled, but the emperor spoke, and Ling Yun had to stand up straight, and began to look at his nose and nose.

At this time, although Ling Yun's face was calm and seemed to be an ancient well, he was already turning over the river and the sea in his heart, and secretly calculated it!

His ears trembled slightly, and Ling Yun listened to his surroundings and said, "Strange? How can there be someone behind the screen? Could it be that the emperor ambushed the sword and axe man to kill me? That's not right! If the emperor wants to kill me, he only needs one word, so why ambush the knife and axeman? But who is the person behind the screen? In just a short moment, countless whys flashed in Ling Yun's heart?

And behind the screen, Princess Suiping stared at Lingyun with a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn through the screen, from head to toe, and then from foot to head, looking at it several times in a row, before her face was full of shame, her posture twisted and played with her hair, and nodded.

Empress Zhang also saw her girlish thoughts, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples, and nodded slightly at the palace maid beside her.

The palace maid had already been instructed by Empress Zhang, and when she saw Empress Zhang nodding, the palace maid bowed to Empress Zhang and walked towards the outside of the screen.

Apocalypse, who had been smiling, saw the palace maid who walked out of the screen and nodded to him. The smile on his face became even brighter.

"Ling Aiqing, I didn't come to you for anything else, I want to marry Princess Suiping to you, so that you have become a relative of the emperor, I don't know what you think?"

Ling Yun listened to the words of the apocalypse, and instantly stood on the spot, although he was not very familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, but he had heard of the Ming Dynasty horses, and Ling Yun was also in deep thought.

Ling Yun knew very well that there was such a clause in the family rules of the Ming Dynasty royal family: after the princess got married, she must send an old female official of this kind to her to manage the princess's affairs with full authority. And the princess who has nominally been married, in fact, only spent the wedding night in the princess's mansion, and then moved back to the palace specially set up in the harem to live, and the empty princess's mansion only lived in the concubine, if the princess and the concubine want to meet and talk, the concubine must rush into the palace to meet her. However, the most unaccustomed thing about such an old female official is, of course, the scene between the princess and the concubine. Therefore, if the horse wants to enter the palace to meet the princess and enjoy the love of husband and wife, it is bound to be troubled by this "housekeeper's wife" old female official. If the princess and the colt did not come out with a lot of real money and bribes, they would not have been able to pass their pass at all, and they would not have seen their husbands (wives).

More importantly, once recruited as a colt, the family members and their descendants will not be able to become officials in the army, which is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the children and grandchildren.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Yun hurriedly knelt down and crawled on the ground: "Thank Emperor Longen!" I also asked the emperor to retract the order, and forgive me for not agreeing to it. ”

Tianqi thought that Lingyun wanted to thank him, but he never thought that Lingyun was resisting, which made the Emperor of the Apocalypse's face gradually sink.

When Princess Zhuping, who was hiding behind the screen, heard Ling Yun's words, her body suddenly stiffened, two crystal tears fell, and her heart was also inexplicably sad: "I can't imagine that even a martial artist is unwilling to marry this princess, and this princess will have the face to marry again in the future......"

And Queen Zhang on the side looked at Princess Zhu Huijing of Suiping, and her expression was also hesitant!

Tianqi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly slapped the table, his face was angry, and his fingers trembled angrily and pointed at Ling Yun and said, "Ling Yun, I know that you are very capable, and I also know that you are a talent!" But you openly refused to marry, do you think that Princess Suiping's daughter is not worthy of you? Do you really think I won't kill you? ”

Ling Yun crawled to the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the humble position just remembered Princess Yongning!" ”

As soon as she heard Princess Yongning, whether it was the apocalypse, or Queen Zhang behind the screen, Zhu Huijing was confused for a while.

Princess Yongning, named Zhu Yaoyuan. Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan fourth daughter.

On March 15, the tenth year of Wanli (1582), Mingshenzong sealed his sister as the eldest princess of Yongning, and selected a horse for it, which was in charge of the eunuch Feng Bao. Now that the princess of Yongning is married, Feng Bao, the head of the eunuch "in charge of ceremonies", seems to have heard the sound of silver again. After accepting a huge amount of bribes, he actually chose Liang Bangrui, who was suffering from tuberculosis, as a colt for Princess Yongning, who was beautiful and beautiful. In those days, tuberculosis was incurable. The Liang family knew that their son's life was short, and the huge wealth might as well be used to buy a reputation and status. So he gave up his family and bought off Feng Bao and others, and he gave the sick ghost to the princess, and became the royal prince as he wished. For the young emperor Wanli, he was very afraid of Feng Bao, who liked to make small reports, since he was a child, and Feng Bao used the queen mother to suppress the little emperor and do whatever he wanted. Now he stretched out his dirty hand to Princess Yongning again.

On the wedding day, Liang Bangrui will face such a housekeeper and a group of eunuchs who collude with her.

The housekeeper's wife already knew that Feng Bao, the head of the eunuch, had made a lot of money in this marriage, so she naturally had a great appetite, and she didn't look at the routine gold and silver sent by Liang Bangrui, and was full of hope to make a fortune on this sick horse. Liang Bangrui thought that he was already a prince, but he was tricked by the little female official like this, and finally couldn't help but defend himself.

The housekeeper's wife was annoyed and angry, so she simply called the eunuch, beat the horse master, and then dragged him out of the palace gate and threw him on the street. Liang Bangrui, who thought that people were in good spirits on happy occasions, maybe marrying with the royal family could cure diseases, never thought that being a colt would be such an encounter. He was already sick and trembling with anger, and he vomited blood in the street. The Liang family carried Liang Bangrui home for treatment, but the medicine stone was ineffective. Liang Bangrui, who had been married for only a month, returned to the West.

Poor Princess Yongning, in this short one-month marriage, has never been married to her own concubine, until after her death, she is still a complete body, and she has never known the joy of boudoir between men and women for the rest of her life.

Now Lingyun, he is not afraid of having one more beautiful woman around him, but once he agrees, what kind of situation will he face, I am afraid that he will only sit and wait for death in the future!

After a long time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse opened his eyes, and "snapped" the Emperor of the Apocalypse on the table: "Bold Lingyun, how can the royal affairs be discussed by one of your foreign ministers?" ”

"The emperor forgives the sins, the emperor forgives the sins......"

Just as Lingyun was begging for mercy, Empress Zhang pulled Zhu Huijing out from behind the screen.

Tianqi was about to reprimand Ling Yun again, but when she saw Empress Zhang walking out, she looked at Zhu Weijing's eyelids and her face was haggard.

Without waiting for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to speak, Empress Zhang blinked with a smile: "Your Majesty, isn't Princess Suiping going to Huguo Temple to make incense?" It just so happens that Commander Ling is here, so it's better to let Commander Ling escort the safety......"

Before Empress Zhang finished speaking, the Emperor of the Apocalypse laughed: "Hehe! Concubine Ai is right, but I forgot about it. ”

Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse usually seems to be in a mess, he only knows how to do his carpenter's work. But how many of the people who can become emperors are fools! Before Empress Zhang's words were finished, he understood what Empress Zhang meant.

Zhu Huijing, who was standing on the side, looked around with some doubts, frowned, and muttered to herself in her heart: "I don't plan to go to Huguo Temple!" How could the royal brother and sister-in-law say that? But when I saw Ling Yun crawling on the ground, I instantly understood.

Just as Zhu Huijing was thinking, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't have much anger on his face, and raised his hand to Lingyun and said, "Lingyun, the Seventh Duke is going to Huguo Temple to make incense, and if others escort me, you will protect her safety." ”

"Obedience!"

Ling Yun crawled on the ground, although he said yes, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and he began to think in his heart: "Could it be such a coincidence?" There are so many internal guards in the palace, why don't you let them escort them! ”

Thinking of this, Ling Yun suddenly understood, this is not to go to Huguo Temple to make incense? Instead, the emperor and the queen gave them the opportunity to be alone and let them decide on their own family affairs. For the emperor and the queen's singing and harmony, Ling Yun could only reluctantly agree.

The blue sky occasionally drifted by a glimmer of white clouds, which sheltered the scorching sun and brought a brief shade, and a breeze blew through the willow branches on both sides of the street, relieving a trace of the heat.

A very ordinary carriage walked down the bluestone street driven by a burly coachman.

"Squeak Squeak ......"

Next to the carriage, Ling Yun accompanied him with a sad face with a horizontal knife in his hand, looking at the streets where people came and went, but his expression was full of melancholy.

Suddenly, a breeze blew and blew up the curtain of the carriage. A girl who seemed to be descending from the earth of the Nine Heavens Xuannu was imprinted into Ling Yun's eyes.

Yes, it was none other than Zhu Huijing sitting in the carriage.

Zhu Huijing raised her hand and was about to lower the curtains, when she turned around and saw Ling Yun looking at her.

Recalling her previous refusal to marry, Zhu Huijing's pretty face flushed. Immediately lowered the curtains, only to hear the silver bell-like voice in the carriage: "Out of the city!" ”

"Yes"

The coachman, who was sitting on the wheel of the carriage, heard the sound coming from the carriage, nodded his head in agreement, and then reined in the reins of his horse, changed the course and walked towards the city gate.

The carriage left the city and came to a small river in the middle of nowhere, where the wind blew and brought a slight feeling of coolness. The leaves on both sides of the river are rustling in the breeze.

Downstream, a few women washing clothes are giggling and laughing while washing clothes.

The carriage came to a slow halt as it reached the river. After the coachman on the wheel stopped the carriage steadily, he also consciously walked away from it, standing with his back to each other more than ten feet away.

Ling Yun looked at the back of the coachman in the distance, looking at his vigorous steps, but muttered in his heart: "I didn't expect that the coachman sent by the emperor is also a master of foreign boxing." ”

Walking slowly to the river, Ling Yun sat cross-legged on a large bluestone, put the horizontal knife in his hand on his legs, held his knees with both hands, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and looked at the slowly flowing river with ten thousand words of grass and mud in his heart, not to mention how much his mother was blocked.

After a long time, someone behind him said lightly like a silver bell: "I know why you want to refuse to marry?" ”

Ling Yun turned his head and showed a wry smile, and pointed to a piece of bluestone beside him: "Then the princess said, I am willing to listen to my ears." ”

Zhu Huijinglian moved lightly, twisted her slender waist and walked to the big bluestone and sat down slowly, holding her knees with her hands and looking at the river calmly: "Once you become a colt, your career will come to an end." It can be seen that your heart will not stay only in the position of commander of the Flying Eagle Guard forever. You're worried that if you become a colt, you'll be constrained. But have you thought about it? Your refusal to marry today may have come to an end in your journey. The royal brother will not let a person who disobeys him ascend to a high position. ”

After Ling Yun heard this, he looked at the strange princess in front of him, his heart was already overturned, and after pondering for a long time, he said with a sinking face: "You are very smart, but it is not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be smart." ”
