Chapter 162: Lord of Lanning County

Seeing this, Shuang'er turned sideways with a smile, and whispered to Li Le: "Yesterday, the little marquis not only brought you back, but also kept watch all night, if it wasn't for the emperor's call early this morning, I would have stayed here for a while." ”

After speaking, just as Mu Changjin stepped into the threshold, Shuang'er turned around and bowed to him and left, leaving the space completely to the two of them.

"Better?"

It was obvious that Mu Changjin was in a hurry in his eyes, thinking that he had just finished the matter at hand and hurried over.

"It's all right, I said I'll be fine, but it's not okay now."

Mu Changjin didn't ask about the truth of yesterday, and Li Le was also happy to pretend to be confused, smiled at him, and made a special trip to the ground to show that he was fine.

Seeing this, a big stone in Mu Changjin's heart also fell to the ground, and he wanted to teach her a few more lessons, but he still held back.

"It's fine."

"But there's one thing I'm a little curious about, why are you so concerned about saving Chu Heng? It's hard to ......"

Mu Changjin thought of the mixed thoughts in his mind last night, and couldn't help but ask, he really couldn't figure out what the relationship between Chu Heng and Li Le would be.

"Do you know who Chu Heng is?"

Seeing this, the corners of Li Le's lips hooked slightly, and Mu Changjin's thoughts were already written on her face at this time, but she didn't poke it, but looked at it with interest.

"His Royal Highness Xichu Ba, the adopted son of Concubine Yun, acts as a loner, like an immortal who has not entered the world."

Mu Changjin thought about it and said.

"yes, so I'm going to save him." Li Le smiled.

"So you're trying to woo in?"

Almost instantly, Mu Changjin figured it out.

"That's right, it doesn't seem to be slow."

Li Le knocked on Mu Changjin's forehead and affirmed, if Mu Changjin could really understand what she was thinking.

"That's not to risk your own life, you can't have such a thing after testing the drug, absolutely not, even me."

In the end, he felt sorry for Li Le, so he said seriously at the moment.

It's just that the more serious he is in this aspect, the more Li Le snickers in his heart.

I'm afraid that Mu Changjin didn't realize that the jar of vinegar in his heart had been overturned.

"Master!" As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Liu Chao suddenly hurriedly ran over, "The emperor sent someone to urge, and asked you and Miss Li how long it will take, he can't hold it anymore." ”

The emperor can't hold it anymore? Could it be that there was some accident in the palace?

Li Le looked at Mu Changjin suspiciously, but the latter was calm and not in a hurry.

Suddenly, Li Le thought that when the queen called her into the palace a few days ago, it seemed to be the same situation, so he looked at Liu Chao with inquiring eyes and got a positive answer.

"Mu Changjin! You're doing this again! Shuang'er hurry up to freshen up for me, Mu Changjin, if one day you are blamed for this, I will be the first to draw a line with you! ”

After guessing what happened, Li Le hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, and called Shuang'er to freshen himself.

Last time, I asked the queen to wait, and this time I asked the emperor to wait, how much face the two of them have, and they did all these things that made people talk.

"There's really no need to worry about it this time, you let Shuang'er dress up for you, wear this dress, I'll wait for you outside first."

As he spoke, he asked Liu Chao to bring a tray with a blue dress on it, which looked very luxurious, and then left with someone.

"Don't dress up too much, the sooner the better."

Li Le didn't know what Mu Changjin's idea was, he thought that the time was tight, so he didn't have to dress up too much, just plain, but he was held down by Shuang'er.

"Miss can't be casual today, when the time comes, you have to overwhelm the crowd."

Shuang'er smiled and put a hairpin on it.

"What is going on today? The ordinary emperor has never been so grand when he sees me, what are you hiding from me? ”

Li Le realized that today seemed very unusual, everyone was mysterious, what happened?

"I'll know when it's over, Miss, it's a good thing anyway."

Hearing such a question, the two looked at each other and smiled, but still did not tell Li Le what she was going to face.

Seeing that he still couldn't ask, Li Le stopped talking.

These people shouldn't hurt her.

After about half an hour, Li Le finally went out, and today she was inexplicably dressed in a costume, and the complicated headdress also made her a little breathless.

"How?"

Mu Changjin was already waiting outside, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a person with black hair and red lips, walking with lotus steps, the blue dress fell to the ground, and the gold-inlaid skirt was full of luxury, which was more inviolable than Su Ri's agility.

"It's beautiful."

If she could, she wouldn't want anyone to see it.

……

Stepping up, there was no carriage in the palace, and about a stick of incense, Li Le heard the sound of ritual music in front of him, and there was a faint guess in his heart.

"Your Majesty, someone is here."

Seeing Mu Changjin and Li Le sitting in the distance, Gonggong Chen hurriedly leaned down in the emperor's ear to report.

As soon as he heard the news, Emperor Chu immediately slapped his thigh, got up and said loudly to everyone.

"Today, in addition to the day of rewarding the first place in this autumn hunt, there is also a happy event."

Seeing this, everyone also got up.

"Let me introduce you to me, the county lord of Lanning in Western Chu."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a while.

When did Xichu have any county lords?

Immediately, this gimmick attracted everyone's attention.

As soon as the words fell, a gorgeous sedan chair stopped in front of everyone, and a woman's figure loomed in the veil, and everyone speculated who the mysterious Lanning County Lord was.

And when he saw this, Li Guan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Soon, her hunch became a reality.

Shuang'er and the palace maids on the side pulled the veil apart from the left and right respectively, revealing the face of the woman in it.

When they saw it, everyone was surprised.

"How could it be Li Le!"

Ran Mingyue and Wu Chengcheng on the other side also exclaimed in a low voice.

Why is Li Le actually the county lord of Lanning!

But this question, Li Le can answer, as early as before the autumn hunt, when the emperor sent down the reward, the holy decree had already written that she was named the county lord during the palace banquet, but today, the weight of the county lord is heavier.

"Give the county lord court clothes, the official seal, and give Lanning County fiefdom, 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, a pearl of the East China Sea, three horses of Wanling silk, two horses of Luan silk, two horses of Liangyun satin, the county lord, come forward to receive the reward."

Wang Zhou read out the reward in front of everyone, and the content caused a burst of surprise.

The ladies' attention was all on the last three fabrics.

These three kinds of fabrics are the national treasures of Western Chu, Wanling silk and Luan silk are foreign tribute, only ten horses a year, the concubines in the palace often grab their heads for this cloth, today Li Le has five horses, it is really jealous.

And the last good cloud satin is particularly precious, it is the output of the top craftsmen in Xichu, from the beginning of the silk will be selected layer by layer, weaving into the craft is not a secret, a piece of cloth will be woven for a full three months, a year is only four horses, now both are in Li Le's hands, how can it not be envied.

But what is even more surprising in comparison is the fief of Lanning County granted to Li Le by the emperor.

This fief was left by the princes and grandsons of the previous dynasty, and in the Western Chu period, the previous princes and grandsons had been taken back, even if they were as powerful as the prince and King Jing, there was no fief at all in Dayong.

Although this Lanning County is called a county, the actual area is a few points larger than the county, because of various reasons, it has not been recovered, and the emperor has never mentioned it again as if he has forgotten about it.

It's just that today he suddenly gave this place to Li Le, which immediately shocked the courtiers.

Li Le, a little-known woman, why could she be given a fief!

"Courtiers thank the emperor for his grace."

was helped out of the sedan chair, Li Le walked and saluted in front of the emperor.

"Get up." The emperor raised his hand and let Li Le get up.

"Your Majesty, this ...... Is this unruly? ”

At this time, some people questioned it, after all, such a reward had never been given since the founding of the Western Chu Dynasty, and the emperor's behavior today was a little unpredictable.

"The county lord of Lanning opened a green bag hall in Beijing, treating diseases and saving countless people, and yesterday he even tested the medicine for Heng'er regardless of his safety, such a merit, what is wrong with sealing a county lord."

Emperor Chu lowered his eyes and looked at that person with a bad eye, this person seemed to be the prince's faction, so he stood up and spoke out at this time.

"What's more, it's not the turn of others to interfere with my decision."

At this point, all the people present were clear-eyed, and they naturally saw that the emperor just wanted to favor Li Le, and it seemed to be an explanation, but he didn't mention the fiefdom at all, and he obviously didn't want to say more.

As a courtier, he naturally couldn't persecute the emperor too much, so at this time, they all shut up and didn't say much, and they all seemed to admit such a result, but there were also many people who were not convinced.

Li Guan secretly glanced at Wang Siyao, and both saw the fire of jealousy in each other's eyes.

Wu Chengcheng shook the veil fiercely, and sprinkled all his anger on the maid beside her, as the county lord, she didn't have a fief, why did Li Le have it!

In this way, she can't raise her head in front of Li Le, this woman must not stay!

However, Chu Yuesheng above and Ran Mingyue below are happy for Li Le, in this way, even if Li Le has his own foundation in the capital, it will be much more convenient to develop in the future, and in this way, Chu Yuesheng can also go to Li Le openly.

However, just when everyone thought that such a reward from the emperor was enough, the emperor glanced at the queen, who understood and instantly smiled with some sincerity.

"Since Your Majesty has finished rewarding, it will be the turn of this palace."

The emperor sat down, the empress got up, and when she spoke, it caused a burst of surprise, even Li Le didn't expect this development, and hurriedly looked at Mu Changjin, seeing that he was also as surprised as her, he knew that this was probably the result of the private discussion between the emperor and the queen themselves.

"Although this palace is the lord of the harem, there are no good things that can compare to those good satins rewarded by the emperor, so this palace thinks that he has no children under his knees, and wants to accept the county lord of Lanning as a righteous daughter, I don't know if the marquis of Zhenguo and the lord of Lanning County are willing?"
