Chapter 45: Tomorrow It's My Turn
The night is deep, the autumn is as cool as water, and the light chrysanthemum is slightly fragrant.
Li Jilong stepped on the fallen leaves and walked towards Ling Kun's room, making a creaking sound under his feet, his steps seemed calm and powerful, and he was full of courage.
Just as he was about to carry out a new round of coercion and temptation against this ignorant boy, he saw the butler rush in in a panic and shouted: "Master, master, the holy decree has arrived, and the prince has arrived in the front hall." ”
"The Divine Decree has arrived? In the middle of the night, could it be that there was another fight in the north, shouldn't it, if there is any movement, I will know first. Li Jilong's two thick eyebrows condensed together.
"No, sir, the prince named Ling Kun to take the order."
"Oh?" Li Jilong's brows tightened even tighter, and he said for a while: "Let's go, go to the front hall." ”
Ling Kun followed Li Jilong to the front hall, and saw a eunuch with white hair and a ruddy face sitting on a chair drinking tea, this should be Wang Jien, the chief eunuch.
Seeing them coming, the old eunuch Wang Jien stood up and looked at Ling Kun and said, "You are Ling Kun?" ”
Ling Kun nodded and said, "I am." ”
"The emperor commanded, kneel down and listen to the order." Wang Jien said sharply, his voice was almost singing, and he had a sense of ceremony.
Ling Kun hurriedly knelt down, Li Jilong and others also knelt down, and at the same time, the mountain shouted Long live the emperor, long live long live.
"The northwest is restless, the country is at the time of employing people, and Ling Kun, the new champion of science and technology, and others will go to the Wansui Hall early tomorrow morning to listen to the seal, in order to serve the country as soon as possible. Ling Kun, you can go home and prepare, don't miss a big deal tomorrow morning. After Wang Jien finished reading the emperor's message, he sent Ling Kun to leave quickly.
Ling Kun kowtowed, stood up and said to Li Jilong, "Master Li, then I'll leave first, let's see you later?" There was some smug ridicule in his tone, and the old guy dared to rob the ...... in broad daylight Hey, I don't know if his daughter is beautiful or not.
Li Jilong's eyes were faintly angry, but he was helpless, and waved his hand: "Let's go, you should think about the old man's proposal, this is your best choice." ”
"Thank you, Lord Li, thank you princess, farewell." Ling Kun was polite, said goodbye to the two and went straight to their own courtyard.
Seeing that Ling Kun was gone, Li Jilong said to Wang Jien: "Father-in-law, please take a seat, what does the emperor mean by the third watch in the middle of the night?" ”
Wang Jien sat down, took a sip of tea and said, "Lord Li, our family has been friends with you for many years, and I want to say a few heartfelt words to you today. ”
"Father-in-law, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Lord Li, since the first emperor added the yellow robe, he has always had scruples about the generals, and after the glass of wine released the military power, the military power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor. Now that Lord Li has received the favor of the Holy Grace, holds the male soldiers, and holds the power, is he not satisfied? ”
Li Jilong was shocked and said hurriedly: "Father-in-law, Li was born and died for the imperial court, he was loyal to the emperor, and he never had two hearts, why did the prince say this?" ”
"Lord Li, you have worked hard and have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders, and the court finally chose a general to share some of it for you, but you want to accept him as a son-in-law, Lord Li's feelings for this country are a little big, right?"
Li Jilong was drenched in cold sweat at this time, and said a little tremblingly: "Father-in-law, the emperor asked you to tell me these words?" ”
"How so? Lord Li is the uncle of the country and the elder brother of the queen, how could the emperor say this easily, but it was just for the sake of personal relations for the sake of the old slave to remind Lord Li. Wang Jien said with a smile.
"Thank you Princess, in fact, I just fell in love with Ling Kun, if I can become my son-in-law, I, Li Jilong, am willing to disarm and return to the field, and give up the position to the young man." Li Jilong is still explaining.
"Lord Li is really thirsty for talent, but the court can't do without you for the time being, Ling Qianjin is the emperor's niece, and the emperor is as worried as Lord Li, and he talked to the old slave some time ago that he wants to give Ling Qianjin to the four princes."
"Is that so?" Li Jilong was overjoyed and said, "Then I won't fight Ling Kun's idea anymore." ”
"Hahaha, that's right." Wang Jien laughed: "Master Li was born in the border pass, and his temperament is too upright, so you can pay more attention to it in the capital." ”
Ling Kun trotted all the way back to the small courtyard, and saw Zhao Mingyue and Xiao Ran lighting candles, sitting in the house and waiting.
"Oh, isn't this the champion, I don't know if he has become my cousin-in-law?" Zhao Mingyue said predictively.
"No, how could it be, I heard that he was your uncle, so I didn't agree to kill him." Ling Kun said as if to take credit.
Zhao Mingyue slapped the table and stood up, grabbed Ling Kun's ear and said, "According to what you say, if he weren't my uncle, you would be the groom's official now?" ”
"No, no, you tap." Ling Kun grinned in pain, and pressed his hand on Zhao Mingyue's ear and said, "If he wasn't your uncle, I would have demolished his house a long time ago, and I still need the emperor's decree, for this holy decree, you didn't bother to do it, right?" Ling Kun said with some emotion.
When Zhao Mingyue heard him say this, she remembered that this day was anxious, fighting wits and courage, her eyes were a little moist, and her hands pulling her ears were also weak, lying softly in Ling Kun's hands.
Xiao Ran saw the two of them holding hands and eyebrows, he was very envious in his heart, jumped over and grabbed Ling Kun's other hand and said, "You bully people, I want to too." ”
Being made so troubled by Xiao Ran, Zhao Mingyue blushed, and hurriedly let go of Ling Kun's ears and hands, and turned her face away.
Xiao Ran happily touched Ling Kun's hand, but he didn't let go.
Zhao Mingyue couldn't look at it and asked, "I've let it go, why don't you let it go?" ”
"Hmph, that's what you want to put yourself, I don't care."
Zhao Mingyue was extremely angry, and had the heart to hold Ling Kun's hand again, but she felt embarrassed, so she simply stood up and said, "Then you pull slowly, I'll go back." ”
"Don't, it's the middle of the night, just stay here, and I'll go together tomorrow morning."
"Yes, yes, you can sleep with Ling Kun tonight." Xiao Ran said beside him.
"Phew, if you say this kind of obscene talk again, I'll tear your mouth apart, and you want to sleep with you." Zhao Mingyue scolded.
"I was just thinking, today you are going to sleep with him, won't it be my turn tomorrow?" Xiao Ran didn't care.
Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue were stunned by Xiao Ran's words.
In the end, in order to keep Ling Kun pure, the two princesses squeezed together and slept together.
The next day, Ling Kun, accompanied and reminded by Zhao Mingyue, came to the palace and explained to him a lot of etiquette precautions along the way, so as not to be killed with a rod before he could be a general.
After entering the palace, Zhao Mingyue went to the harem and pointed Ling Kun to the Long Live Palace. At this time, a little eunuch was already waiting, leading him to wait outside the palace.
Waiting with him are also Wang Yingjue and Pang Jinlun.
