Chapter Ninety-Seven: Royal Jade Butterfly

"See the prince" A large group of people saluted Qi Hongxin one after another.

When everyone saluted, Qi Hongxin kept looking at Wen Ling, and today Wen Ling's slight powder was suffocating, and Qi Hongxin really felt that his Ling'er had grown up. This skirt outlines her girlish figure, but it does not look stingy. Sure enough, choosing this dress for her suited her very well.

When Wen Ling got into the carriage, Qi Hongxin almost went to hold her hand in person, but then he held back. At this time, he felt that they had all grown up, and they could no longer play around at will like when they were children, when he was still a sick prince and no one was paying attention.

After watching Wen Ling enter the carriage, Qi Hongxin also turned around and entered the carriage in front. I only heard the driver "frame" the car and drove slowly.

The carriage on Wen Ling's side was not as lively as before, and Xiaolian found that Wen Ling was becoming more and more in a daze. It's even worse than when I first returned to Beijing. Wen Ling sat quietly in the carriage at this time without saying a word, picking up a book on the carriage and reading.

said that she had been watching for so long but did not turn a page, Xiaolian felt that she couldn't let Wen Ling go on like this, so she forcibly found a topic, "Miss, are you nervous when you go to the palace today?" ”

Wen Ling heard Xiaolian's words, and smiled reluctantly, "Xiaolian, have I entered the palace less often since I was a child?" There's nothing to be nervous about. ”

"Miss, this is different, this time you are going to enter the royal jade plate, and you will be considered a royal person in the future." Looking at Xiaolian's smug look, Wen Ling just smiled and didn't say anything.

The two carriages stopped outside the palace gate, and Wen Ling and Qi Hongxin got off one after the other. Qi Hongxin wore the prince's clothes today. Wearing a dove feather-colored satin digging the left placket, a white fat jade ring fell on the waist and was embellished.

The cuffs are loosely rolled up, which is a special match with Wen Ling's white clothes, which makes people feel that the two are really a natural pair, and the harmonious atmosphere of the talented woman makes people unable to see any disobedience.

As soon as the two entered the palace, Gonggong Ming was already waiting at the gate of the palace, "The old slave has seen the prince and the county lord." The emperor is now in the imperial study, and he specially asked the old slave to wait for the two of them here. Now follow me to the imperial study to meet the emperor! ”

Xiaolian entered the palace for the first time, so she was particularly fresh and curious about the palace. Along the way, they were peeking at the decorations of the palace, no wonder everyone said that the palace was a golden wire cage, although the appearance here was gorgeous, but the atmosphere was very depressing, and Wen Ling found out and scratched his hand, and Xiaolian came back to her senses.

After walking through one long corridor after another, the group finally arrived at the door of the imperial study. Gonggong Ming stopped, stood at the door, turned his head and said with a smile: "Lord, the county lord and the emperor are already waiting for the two of you inside, you two please" Gonggong Ming made a gesture of 'please'.

The two nodded, because they were both people who often came to the palace, so there was no nervousness at the moment. Xiaolian and Qingping followed Gonggong Ming to stay outside the door.

Wen Ling followed Qi Hongxin into the imperial study, which was the first time Wen Ling came to the imperial study. This is different from any palace in the palace, and what comes into view is that there are six wooden chairs and six fragrant wood tables placed under the four carved dragon pillars on both sides of the room.

There were a lot of antique vases in the room, and the bright yellow curtain was blocked not far away, Wen Ling guessed that the emperor was tired of the place to rest, and before she could think about it, the two had already approached the emperor.

"The son has seen his father"

"Courtiers see the emperor" The two knelt on the ground together, and only stood up after hearing the emperor's words "no courtesy".

Wen Ling raised his eyes slightly to have a chance to take a look at the decoration of the dragon case, where the tall golden silk nanmu bookcase stood on the nine steps, and a large number of approved and unapproved folds were placed on both sides of the bookcase.

Emperor Qi's mental state is much worse than half a year ago, and he looks tired. But when it comes to talking, he is still full of energy.

"Xin'er, I am very relieved to hear your mother say that you are no longer in serious trouble. You can wait and see your mother, so that she can rest assured. ”

Then he looked at Wen Ling, "Ling'er, you girl." You let Uncle Huang say something good, Xin'er's illness is thanks to you, so be it. You can ask me something, and I will do it for you. ”

"Back to the emperor, this is what a courtier should do. The emperor's concubine had rewarded him with enough things, and Wen Ling didn't dare to be so greedy. ”

"You girl, Uncle Huang will mention it if you ask you to mention it. You can cure Xin'er's illness on your own. Whether it is me or the concubine, we are grateful, especially the concubine, she has been worried about his body every day since Xin'er left the palace over the years. Now, she can rest assured. ”

"Your Majesty, the courtiers really have something to ask for. The courtiers begged the emperor to give the courtiers a 'gold medal for avoiding death'"

"Huh? Why is that? ”

"The courtiers are reckless, and the father also says that the courtiers are too unruly. The courtiers thought that there could be something that could save the lives of the courtiers after they made mistakes in the future. ”

"Yes, I promise you. Jin Yan is so conformist, there is only one condition left, if the spirit girl doesn't think about it. Then I'll think about it later, and I'll remember it for you here.

"Now, Lord Wei can start, and when Xin'er is done, you can take Ling'er to meet your mother."

Lord Wei was the jade butterfly official who managed the royal jade butterfly, and he was holding the jade butterfly inscription in his hand, and at this time he handed Wen Ling a jade plate and a knife, and the jade plate was still hollowed out in the middle. There are five words engraved on it, and 'Wen Ling No. Lingqin' looks a little dull.

Lord Wei spoke: "County Lord, now you can cut your finger and drip blood into this jade plaque." ”

Wen Ling picked up the knife, gently cut his fingers, and the blood dripped into the jade plate drop by drop along the fingertips, and he saw that this originally ordinary jade plate began to change color after coming into contact with blood, and when the jade plate was filled with blood, it became even more emerald green.

Waiting for Lord Wei to announce the ceremony, Qi Hongxin hurriedly took out a handkerchief to bandage Wen Ling's fingers, Emperor Qi looked at the talented and beautiful two, and sighed in his heart, but it was a pity that the falling flowers were affectionate and unintentional.

"Go quickly, your mother is probably in a hurry."

"Son's Retirement"

"The courtiers retired" With the sound of retirement, the two had already left the palace. Gonggong Ming smiled at Wen Ling and said auspicious words such as "Congratulations to the county lord". Wen Ling also thanked him sincerely.

This time, as usual, it was Gonggong Ming who led the way in front, and Xiaolian wanted to ask the emperor what he said, but this was the palace, and she didn't dare to speak.

After walking for a while, the group arrived at Qinxi Palace. Just by looking at the name of this palace, you can tell how much the people who live here are favored. Gonggong Ming also followed Qi Hongxin and Wen Ling to go in and salute the concubine before leaving, Qingping and Xiaolian were called by the grandmother in the concubine's palace to drink tea in the side hall.
