Chapter 9: The First Sight of King Ling

"Princess" Xia Dong brought some chicken thighs and dried fruits from the banquet.

Qingmei approached Su Lan's side: "Princess, I heard about this King Ling"

Su Lan swallowed the grapes in his mouth, "Tell me about it"

"Originally, the princess you wanted to marry was the prince of the southern kingdom, but the prince already had a princess, and he also accepted a side concubine, so I heard that the southern kingdom and the state of Chu had been discussing for a long time because of this matter. Just when the dispute was over, King Ling offered to marry you. ”

"Well, and then what?"

At that time, the prince was strongly opposed, but for some reason, only a day later, the prince stopped objecting. Moreover, I heard from the mouths of those nobles at the banquet that the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom was quite jealous of King Ling. ”

"Then this is strange, since I am afraid of King Ling, why would King Nan agree to my marriage with this King Ling?" Su Lan touched his chin.

"Moreover, I also heard that this King Ling lost his mother at a young age, and only returned from the Snow Mountain a few years ago to learn his art, and he was extremely brave in the battle of annexing the surrounding small countries in the south last year, and he won many battles, and he also had a lot of prestige in the army." Xia Dong handed Su Lan a cup of tea.

"Oh? I can't imagine that this King Ling has such a background? Su Lan was even more curious, this King of the South would let a prince whom he was quite afraid of and hadn't seen for many years marry with the State of Chu?

When night came, the night wind helped a person up, "Lord Shangshu, His Royal Highness King Ling is afraid that he is already drunk and unconscious, and his subordinates will take His Highness away." ”

"Then the old minister didn't disturb the candles in the cave room of His Royal Highness King Ling, and the old minister was also deeply drunk, so he also planned to retire......"

"Master Shangshu walks slowly, but do you want your subordinates to send someone to send your adult home?"

"No need, I'll bring someone here" Xu Shangshu stopped, and the little guy next to him hurriedly came over to help him up.

The night wind supported King Ling, and his steps staggered towards the inner courtyard, "Your Highness, they are already gone." ”

King Ling's closed eyes immediately opened, his eyes were clear, not like a drunken person.

Xu Shangshu didn't seem to participate in the party struggle in the court, but in fact, he had already stood on the side of the prince, and the old thief wanted to get him drunk and get something out of his mouth, so he kept inciting other people in the prince's faction to toast him.

"Okay, this king will go back by himself, you and Rotor will go and see if there are any unclean things in the house."

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

Xiao Ling pushed open the door, the candles in the room were warm, the whole room reflected by the candlelight was very warm, and the walls and windows in the room were pasted with festive paper-cuts.

Xiao Ling walked to the side of the bed, looked at Qianying who was sitting on the edge of the bed in a red wedding dress, "Don't pretend", and after a while, he said, "This king won't touch you tonight." ”

Su Lan lifted her red hijab and looked at this Ling Wang, this was the first time she had seen her so-called husband.

The cold appearance, the distinct facial lines, and the three-dimensional facial features are like a god's mansion carved out of heaven, and the candlelight illuminates his face, but it can't illuminate his deep and dark eyes, those eyes, which are dark as if they want to suck people in.

When Su Lan saw King Ling for the first time, she was stunned, it was not that she had never seen a good-looking man, but she had never seen such a good-looking man.

Before she saw him, she felt that Liu Zijin was already very good-looking, and her many royal brothers were not ordinary beauty. But compared to King Ling, those are not even beautiful.

Seeing Su Lan's stunned appearance, King Ling couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, hum! Another woman who is addicted to his skin!

Su Lan came back to his senses and pretended to be playful and asked, "What?" This princess has never heard of His Royal Highness King Ling is not a woman? ”

"This has nothing to do with you," he replied coldly, "If you marry into the Ling Palace, then you are the Ling Princess, you will get the treatment that the Ling Princesses deserve, and you will be your princess in the Mansion, and you don't have to ask about the rest." ”

Xiao Ling lifted the mattress and slashed his arm with a dagger, bright red blood dripping onto the bed, while his wound healed quickly in a few breaths.

It seems that he is a wood mystery, and his class is not low, Su Lan thought to himself.

"It's late, go to bed," he said indifferently, and his words were very cold, not at all like what a newlywed husband said to his wife.

"What does King Ling mean by this?" She asked, "Marry me in and be so cold to me?" ”

Su Lan was still very satisfied that King Ling didn't plan to touch her, but she had to figure out what this King Ling was going to do, so she could deal with it in the southern country.

In fact, although she promised the queen to go to the south to marry, she did not plan to give up returning to Chu and did not give up Liu Zijin.

Agreeing to marry was just a stopgap measure, and after a few months, when the master's injuries were healed, she found another opportunity to flee the southern country and go to Liu Zijin.

Therefore, she actually hoped that King Ling would not be involved with her too much, all of this just met her wishes, but she had to know King Ling's purpose.

King Ling looked at her fixedly and did not speak. He took a futon from the bed, lay down on the couch, and closed his eyes.

When the daylight slowly poured into the room, Su Lan woke up slowly, she looked around the room, and King Ling had already left.

"Princess, can I come in" Xia Dong was knocking on the door outside.

"Come in"

"Princess, we're here to serve you to freshen up" Xia Dong and Qingmei brought water and Pa over.

A group of maids came in and cleaned the house, and the wedding night was over, and the festive things were to be removed.

Su Lan sat in front of the dresser and let Xia Dong Qingmei groom and dress her. The maids cleaned up all the peanuts and red dates on her bed, changed the bedding, and tossed it for a long time before it was finished.

"Princess, come and have breakfast, the dining room is already ready."

"Okay, I'm hungry too" Su Lan remembered, so he asked, "That, where did King Ling go?"

"Your Highness is in the morning at this hour," replied one of the maids.

Su Lan nodded.

"Xia Dong, Qingmei, go and bring the breakfast" Su Lan turned to the maids in King Ling's mansion, "You guys go down first." ”

"Xia Dong, Qingmei, in the future, you will manage the affairs in the house, except for the cleaning in the room, the people of King Ling's Mansion will let them clean in the courtyard."

"Yes"

After Su Lan had breakfast, Qingmei reminded her: "Princess, you are going to enter the palace to meet the queen of the southern kingdom recently."

"And this? Why are you telling me now? ”

"This ...... I saw that you were eating happily, so I forgot to mention it for a while," Qingmei replied with some embarrassment.

"Then take it and ask someone to prepare the carriage."

"It's ready, it's waiting for you," Xia Dong replied.

On the carriage, Su Lan asked them, "Did you inquire about the relationship between the southern countries yesterday?"

"This King Ling is not the son of the queen of the southern kingdom, King Ling's biological mother is the princess of the country, and the princess of the country and the south of the country are married, and the princess of the country of the country becomes the concubine of the southern country. It's just that this noble concubine died when King Ling was young. Not long after that, King Ling moved out of the palace and lived outside the palace, with his own mansion. ”

"After the death of his mother, he did not stay in the palace, but moved outside the palace?"

"Yes, there was no need to move outside the palace, but at that time, something happened in the southern kingdom that drove him out of the palace by the king of the south."

"Was he kicked out? What is the reason for this? ”

"It is said that ...... At that time, Qin Tianjian said that King Ling was a lone star in the sky, and keeping him in the palace would hinder the fortunes of the country, so King Nan drove him out of the palace."

"Heavenly Sand Star...... Su Lan muttered.

This King Ling's life experience is even more miserable than her, she can't help but have some sympathy for King Ling, besides, King Ling is the same as her, she lost her mother at a young age, and she has a feeling of pity for King Ling.

Qingmei said: "Just after King Ling was expelled from the palace, the queen mother of the southern kingdom let King Ling enter the palace from time to time, and was close to King Ling, and only said that she couldn't bear to see such a young child alone outside, and wanted to care about King Ling."

But two years later, the queen mother suddenly had a strange disease, and no one in the whole city was cured, and the people said that it was the fate of King Ling Tiansha Lone Star that harmed the queen mother. I heard that at that time, the southern kingdom already had the idea of expelling the king of Ling from the southern kingdom, but later, the peak master of Qingxue Peak passed through the southern kingdom and cured the queen, and found that King Ling's life was peculiar, and proposed to the king of the south to let him accept King Ling as an apprentice, and he could try his best to change King Ling's life. ”

Su Lan nodded, no wonder, this Qingxue Peak is one of the best gangs in the world, there are many strange people in the gang, and disciples are all over the world. Even if it is the southern country, you have to give Qingxuefeng a little face.

"So King Ling followed the peak master of Qingxue Peak to the Snow Mountain, and did not return to the southern country until a few years ago."

"So the relationship between the Queen of the Southern Kingdom and King Ling is not bad? After all, the queen cared about King Ling very much when he was young," Su Lan said, touching his chin.

"It should be"

…………

"Erchen has seen the queen mother" Su Lan saluted when he arrived at the palace of the queen of the southern kingdom and knelt on the ground.

"Get up, let this palace see how beautiful Ling'er's princess is"

Su Lan raised her head and looked at the queen, which was a little different from the queen she imagined.

After listening to what Xia Dong Qingmei told her in the carriage, she thought that this queen would be a gentle and virtuous person, after all, she used to take good care of children who were not her own.

But the queen she saw was beautiful, but she gave people a mean look, and there seemed to be a cloud of turbidity between her eyebrows.

"Well, a beauty indeed." The queen nodded, "Get up, come on, give me a seat." ”

The queen looked at Su Lan with a kind face: "I have long heard that Princess Lan of Chu State has the posture of captivating the country and the city, but now that I look at it, it really deserves its reputation." Well, is the princess still okay in King Ling's Mansion? ”

"Back to Niangniang's words, everything is fine in the Lingwang Mansion, I thought that the terroir of the southern country is different from that of the Chu country, I am afraid that I will feel uncomfortable, but I didn't expect that my body has been safe."

"Well, very good," the queen nodded, looking at her lovingly, "Today's audience in the palace, why didn't Ling Er come with you?" ”

"Back to the queen mother, His Royal Highness King Ling entered the palace early this morning. Erchen knew that he was going to come to see Niangniang today, so he came early."

"It's good that the princess is as knowledgeable as she is rumored."

Nanhou pulled her and said a lot of homely words before letting her go back.
