In the magnificent taihe (diàn), there are many long low tables densely arranged. The dignitaries and magnates sat on their knees in twos and threes according to their respective families. On the steps of the front of the large (diàn), there are also several delicate low tables, which are prepared for His Majesty the Emperor and several first-class ministers.

Under the care of Kitano Xiongfeng, the two Ling Qianxue sisters sat in a front position. However, Ling Qianxue's mind was not on this at all at the moment, and her mind was full of the (qíng) scene of Ling Kun and Kuroda Maki walking hand in hand.

"I don't know what happened to Zhao Gouqu, will he have been executed by His Majesty?" Ling Qianyu said in a low voice.

Ling Qianxue frowned and glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, he didn't break the law." ”

"He's not breaking the law, he's guilty of deceiving the king."

Ling Qianxue's face turned pale, biting her lip and not speaking.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived." A calm and powerful chant came, and everyone knelt down to the big (diàn) front: "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live." ”

His Majesty the Emperor took his seat on the throne and personally motioned for Ling Kun and Kuroda Maki to sit on his left side, which was the most honorable position except for the throne.

Ling Kun bowed (shēn) and sat down generously. Kuroda Maki never dreamed that she would be able to sit next to the emperor's (shēn), and her heart was shocked, scared, and a little excited and proud. As the daughter of a pirate and merchant, she should never have had this honor for the rest of her life.

Zhao ditch, is it really a (jiàn) people? Did the official really recognize the wrong person?

"Let's avoid 礼平 (shēn), today (rì) is a banquet, you can be casual." His Majesty the Emperor said very mildly.

Everyone kowtowed and thanked them, and returned to their seats, so that they could use their afterglow to scan the most honorable person in the world, the emperor.

However, this look almost shocked some people to death.

First of all, it was naturally Ling Qianxue, the person she was worried about was actually sitting next to His Majesty the Emperor's (shēn), and the emperor also raised his hand from time to time, looking very polite. How did he do it, did he really deceive His Majesty? And Maki Kuroda, why are you sitting there? That's where I am.

The second is Kuroda Yoichi, who has almost concluded that Ling Kun is not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect it to be so unusual, sitting directly next to His Majesty the Emperor (shēn), and even arranging his granddaughter on it, which is the glory of the Kuroda family

There are also Kitano Xiongfeng, Aokiji, Ling Qianyu and other people who know Ling Kun are all full of surprise and almost roar.

After everyone knelt down and sat down, the emperor said: "Today is the annual Wanshang Conference, and in the past year, all of you here have contributed to the development of our dynasty. I hope that in the new year, you will continue to work hard, abide by the law, and do more good deeds. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor paused slightly, pointed at Ling Kun and said, "In addition, this distinguished guest from the Great Song Dynasty of the Celestial Dynasty is my distinguished guest, and he is also the distinguished guest of my court, let us raise a glass together and welcome the distinguished guest." ”

As the emperor commanded, everyone raised their glasses, carefully put them to their lips and sipped them. Ling Kun raised his glass to thank the emperor, and then to everyone else, and then drank it all, his face was calm, and even with a hint of an uninhibited smile.

Everyone looks very calm, but their hearts have already turned turbulent, what kind of character can become the distinguished guest of His Majesty and the whole dynasty, is it the emperor of the Song Dynasty?

Ling Qianyu thought like this, she whispered to Ling Qianxue, "He won't tell His Majesty that he is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, right?" ”

Ling Qianxue also had no bottom in her heart, she only felt that Ling Kun had made a big deal (qíng), and she was afraid that it would not end well. It's all to blame for Kuroda Maki, Zhao Gouqu is a (jiàn) citizen, and he has never seen the world, since you are following behind, won't you mention it?

Kitano Xiongfeng naturally didn't believe that Ling Kun was a nobleman, he must be a liar, he must expose this scam, otherwise these beauties will swarm into his arms, and see that Kuroda Maki has already taken the bait?

But how to expose it, the general doesn't believe him, and his rank can't go directly to His Majesty to participate.

The royal banquet began, and the palace ladies began to serve the food. The banquet went on step by step, but the royal banquet was just an honor, who would dare to let go of eating and drinking?

After a short time, the emperor left first, and before leaving, he told Ling Kun that if he encountered difficulties in (rì), he could go directly to him, or he could find the general Yuan Laixin.

As soon as the emperor left, the banquet was meaningless, and everyone dispersed out of the palace.

Ling Kun and Kuroda Maki got down (diàn) and caught up with Ling Qianxue

Sisters converge. Ling Qianxue stared at her misty eyes, and asked as she walked, "What's the matter with you, who are you?" ”

Ling Kun said with a smile: "Of course I am Zhao Gouqu, just now there was an official who recognized the wrong person, and insisted that I was a noble person surnamed Ling." ”

Ling Qianxue twisted his waist and stomped his feet, "Then why don't you explain?" ”

"I explained, I said that I am the son-in-law of the Ling family, but I am not surnamed Ling, but he didn't believe it, and called the general, I have no choice but to make a mistake, don't believe me, ask Miss Zhenxi?"

"Qianxue, that's really the case." Maki Kuroda said from the side.

Ling Qianxue remembered Kuroda Maki at this time, turned her head and said angrily: "Maki, Zhao Gouqu is a married man, are you entangled with him like this, aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation?" ”

Kuroda Maki blushed and said, "Is Qianxue jealous?" If you really care about him so much, you shouldn't leave him alone outside the palace gate, right? ”

"I don't have to worry about my own family." Ling Qianxue was completely angry, glared at her, and took Ling Kun's arm and walked forward quickly.

Ling Kun smiled at Kuroda Maki, who gave him a bright smile, waved at him, and went to Kuroda Yoichi's side.

Ling Qianxue was even more angry when she saw his eyebrows flickering, and she could only pinch Ling Kun's arm hard.

Ling Qianyu turned around, walked on the other side of Ling Kun and asked, "Hey, didn't His Majesty the Emperor promise you anything?" ”

Ling Kun thought for a while and said, "I didn't promise anything specifically, that is, if there is something in the future, you can directly find him, or you can find other officials." ”

Ling Qianyu said in surprise: "This is not a promise, doesn't this mean that from now on you can go sideways in Kyoto, whether you are an official or a soldier in business, no one will dare to mess with you, because Your Majesty will support you." ”

Ling Qianxue glanced at her and said, "He's not a crab, why is he walking sideways?" ”

Ling Qianyu blinked her eyes and suddenly said, "Sister, I have a good idea." ”

"What's a good idea?" Ling Qianxue asked.

"A month later, you divorced him, and I married him."

"What?" Ling Kun and Ling Qianxue were almost thundered to death by Ling Qianyu's words.
