When the dust settled, the Jiang family sisters and brothers were about to thank them and retire, when the little emperor took out a jade plaque out of nowhere and threw it to Brother Jie, "I remember that Xiaofeng Pavilion received a few unique books of the best mental method......"

Halfway through the words, where is there still the shadow of Brother Jie in the palace?

Jiang Lingxi looked at the direction of the door and was speechless, unable to see that this younger brother was still a scholar.

"Sit down."

Jiang Lingxi was retracted by the little emperor, and when he turned his face, he saw that he was sitting cross-legged next to the desk below, looking up and smiling at her, without a bit of the Ninety-Five Honor.

Zhang Dou'er brought new tea, Jiang Lingxi thought about it, and saluted the little emperor quite formally, thanking him for helping (partial) in front of Li Ang.

The little emperor pinched the teacup and smiled, "If you want to thank you, I will thank you." ”

Jiang Lingxi was thinking about how the "rescue" of the Imperial Garden would not be taken to heart by him, and the little emperor then sighed: "If it weren't for the two of you inserting a lever into it, it would really be a trouble for the Zhan family and the Li family to make trouble." ”

Jiang Lingxi was a little surprised, "It's been so long, and the Zhan family still has the ability to compete with the Li family?" ”

"The south is still inseparable from the Zhanjia for a while." The little emperor stared at the tea thoughtfully, more like talking to himself, and sighed: "Now that Grandma's body is good and bad for a while, I'm afraid this balance won't last long." ”

This expression of worrying about the country and the people is a bit like a temple, Jiang Lingxi was a little puzzled, and blurted out: "But I see that you are not very jealous of the Li family." ”

The little emperor smiled, quite proud, "Do you think that since I ascended the throne, I have only been busy eating and growing up every day?" ”

"It's not that you haven't been in politics yet." Jiang Lingxi muttered in a low voice, and instantly felt that the surrounding air pressure had dropped by a few percent, and hurriedly changed his words: "The emperor is sage!" What kind of balance is needed in this world and how long it will be maintained, in the end, the emperor has the final say. ”

The little emperor nodded with satisfaction, put down the teacup and commented pertinently: "I think you are good." ”

Jiang Lingxi's heart was about to calm down, and when he heard the second half of the sentence "I deliberately mentioned you to be a companion to me", he immediately shuddered.

The little emperor looked at it and asked, "You don't want to come?" ”

Of course I don't want to talk nonsense! A companion is like a tiger, I have to eat and drink and have to tie my head to the waistband of my pants to beg for a living?!

Of course, this cannot be said. Jiang Lingxi carefully organized the language, looked down and glanced at himself dressed in men's clothes, and had an idea, "Your Majesty, the grass people can't ask for it, it's just the grass people...... Well, it's a foreigner, just to visit relatives in Jiangfu, and I have to go back after the New Year......"

This excuse sucks.

The little emperor snorted in his nostrils, and his tone was quite playful, "Do you think that if I can find out your identity, the Li family can't find out?" ”

Jiang Lingxi's little heart thumped suddenly, spinning, jumping, and I didn't stop...... said that the post deliberately stated "Jiang family brothers" in order to block the Li family's mouth and draw a clear line, this matter has nothing to do with the Jiang family's girl's half a penny, and the revenge should not be counted on her head in the future?

This is a good feeling, although the tone of the little emperor is full of some kind of coercion no matter how you listen to it.

As for whether the mention of her as a companion was a temporary idea, or whether it was planned before her sister and brother entered the palace, Jiang Lingxi didn't have time to think about it, but she couldn't cry or laugh, "You know that I am a woman and still ask me to be a companion?!" ”

"Let's put it this way", the little emperor poured himself a cup of tea, and said a little helplessly: "During the period of filial piety of the first emperor, stop the sound and drumming, I am really stuffy in the palace, I originally planned to leave your brother to play by my side for a while, but when I heard that it was from the Xuanqing Sect, I was afraid that the old men on the mountain would come and pester me with important people......

"So settle for the next best thing, did you choose me?" Jiang Lingxi was speechless when he heard it, and he really knew how to pick soft persimmons and pinch them.

"I can't say that, I'm really looking at you and it's good." The little emperor waved his hand, paused, and said a little unbearably: "Of course, I am a Ming monarch, and I will not make it difficult for others, if you don't want to, I will let you go back." ”

Jiang Lingxi's spirit was lifted, this emperor was so reasonable at a young age, he could achieve great things at a glance!

Just as he was waiting to thank him, he saw the little emperor's fingers lightly tapping on the desk, and continued slowly: "As soon as the emperor's filial piety period has passed, I will go to Jiangfu to post a draft girl, and it is also a long-term strategy to summon you into the palace." ”

Jiang Lingxi's kneeling posture did not change, and he slammed his head on the ground, "It is the duty of the people to relieve your majesty's boredom!" ”

That's it.

The little emperor was quite humane, and did not ask Jiang Lingxi to go to work immediately, but put him home to prepare (mainly psychological construction), spend the Spring Festival with peace of mind, and wait for the official report after the court fully resumed work on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Of course, the Ling family is reluctant, so what can be done? On the bright side, Sister Xi can't get out of the capital, which is better than her eldest daughter who followed the former prince and was squeezed into the northwest wasteland. What's more, the emperor has promised to have regular holidays, and he can also give additional leave for emergencies.

Although there was an accident, Jiang Lu didn't say anything, just when his daughter reported the situation to him, he asked her about her future plans, Jiang Lingxi understood what he was referring to, and passed it vaguely. In this imperial society where plans are not as fast as those of the emperor? Let's take one step at a time!

As the little emperor's newly mentioned secret (companion) book (reading), the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was to be attended, and Jie Ge'er accompanied Jiang Lu as a family member, and after special approval, a seat was added to Jiang Lingxi's side.

When I arrived at the banquet hall, I met a lot of familiar faces of the second generation of officials, some of whom had a good time in the past, and of course I couldn't help mentioning the matter of Yuntian Academy when I said hello, but fortunately, when I came out to hang out in the name of Jiang Linxu, I was also a chic and wanton son, even if I yelled with Li Ang this time, it did not cause a large-scale collapse of the personality.

The Empress Dowager was unwell due to her health, and the Empress Dowager Zhou happened to suffer from some cold, and the two most noble women today did not attend, and the only remaining concubines naturally did not want to show their heads, and there were no elders in the town, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall was more casual than in previous years. The little emperor did not have any long words, on behalf of the Dongming royal family, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to all of you Aiqing for their hard work in the past year, and hoped that after working together to achieve better results in the coming year, he announced that everyone would open the banquet, and he would take care of everyone to eat and drink well, drink and eat well.

As a newcomer, Jiang Lingxi was inconspicuous in the crowd, but the Li family just suffered a dumb loss, and it was the heart of capitalism that did not die, and he obviously came prepared. After three glasses of wine, Prime Minister Li Cheng got up and went to the center of the hall, and said to the little emperor: "I heard that the imperial study has a new companion, which is hand-picked by His Majesty Chrysostom. ”

Jiang Ling is familiar with this bridge, in the name of comparing poetry and articles, he specially came up with some tricky and perverted topics, dug a pit and pushed her to jump in, just to show her ugliness in public. In this case, if you deal with it properly, it will become popular overnight, and it will make people hold it to the sky, and it is indecent, it is nothing more than making people laugh, and for her kind of waste wood who has no desire for her career, there will be no substantial loss, and it is best for the little emperor to tell her to return to her hometown in a fit of anger.

Hearing this, the little emperor glanced at Jiang Lingxi, who nodded firmly, hoping that the little emperor would understand her determination to sacrifice herself to fight.

Who knew that the little emperor just snorted and wrote lightly: "My companion reads and takes care of my personal affairs, and there is no need to make too many friends with the courtiers." He looked at Prime Minister Li Cheng with a smile, "Besides, hasn't Ling Lang already dealt with him?" ”

Immediately, someone in the banquet hall whispered, talking about the affairs of Yuntian Academy, and the laughter was so piercing that Li Ang couldn't sit still.

Li Chengxiang's face was impassive, and continued: "Speaking of dogs, the minister did hear that this new companion has a cousin next to him, that is, Jiang Linjie, the son of Jianglu of Guanglu Temple, this son studied under Xuanqing Sect, a real kung fu, it just so happened that there is a cousin in the minister's family, who studied under Chiyanmen, and he was present with his ministers today, and he was very willing to ask for advice from the master of Xuanqing Sect. There is no drum music in the banquet hall today, so it is better to let the two of them have a lesson or two, and cheer everyone up, what does Your Majesty think? ”
