Chapter 278: Pulling Grass and Snakes
Qingcheng heard Xing'er's question, smiled to himself, and replied: "Boy, do you think that you are the only one in this world who is loyal to the king and serves the country?" As a citizen of Middle-earth, who wants the great rivers and mountains to fall into the hands of foreign races? I've said all that, as for whether you can win this competition and save your ancestor's face, it's up to you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Remember, five days later, it will be the seventh day of the seventh month, and I will agree with your master on the day when the apprentices will compete, whether this matter is successful or not, you must rush to the translation institute in the Great Ci'en Temple in the south of Chang'an City before the third watch of that day, and come to see us. Boy, we'll see you in five days. ”
After that, he didn't wait for Lai Xing'er to say anything, jumped up in the air on the spot, climbed over a courtyard wall of a neighboring street, and disappeared.
From Qingcheng appearing outside the gate of Muwang's Mansion and stopping herself, to when she flew away, it took less than an hour before and after, but Lai Xing'er was in a trance as if he had a dream, until Qingcheng had left for a long time, he still couldn't tell whether all this was true or false.
Qingcheng proposed to compete with the apprentice she accepted in Chang'an City to see who could infiltrate the Tubo army in Jingzhou first, assassinate Nasimo, and retrieve the Cloud Splitting Sword in his hand, although Lai Xing'er still couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but he was sure of one thing: the various signs inadvertently revealed from Qingcheng's words were enough to conclude that Ying'er was very likely to be the apprentice she accepted.
From Ying'er's body, Lai Xing'er immediately remembered that Jinping might have returned to the Dongyang County Palace, and was anxiously waiting for his return, so he no longer hesitated and ran quickly in the direction of Quy Nhon.
As soon as Lai Xing'er stepped into the gate of the Dongyang County Palace, he saw Jinping's maid Xiao Wan waiting anxiously by the gatehouse, so he stepped forward and greeted: "Xiao Wan, has Mrs. come back from the palace?" ”
Xiao Wan finally looked forward to Lai Xing'er's return to the house, her face was happy, she stepped forward to give a salute to Lai Xing'er, and said: "Hou Ye, Madame has been back to the house for a long time, and she is waiting for Hou Ye with Lord Jing in the conference hall." ”
"Oh? Brother Jing is also there. Lai Xing'er motioned for Xiao Wan to lead the way, and hurriedly followed her towards the council hall located in the third courtyard.
Jinping was sitting in the conference hall and Jing Zhao discussing the various matters that he should pay attention to after taking the child into the palace, listening to the sound of footsteps outside the hall, he thought that Lai Xing'er came back from Dali Temple to visit Lin Shu, and hurriedly said hello to Jing Zhao, got up and went out, but almost bumped into Lai Xing'er who came with his head down.
"Lord Lin is all right in prison. Why did you go for so long and come back? Jinping seemed to be holding back his stomach and wanted to say to Lai Xing'er, but he didn't care that Jing Zhao was still sitting in the hall, took Xing'er's hand, led him to sit down in the hall, and asked anxiously.
This made Lai Xing'er a little embarrassed, and hurriedly withdrew his hand from Jinping's palm, hugged his fist at Jing Zhao unnaturally, and replied casually: "Lord Lin is okay, I talked to him in the cell for a while." How are you, did the emperor agree? ”
Jing Zhao held the tea bowl in his hand, smiled, and praised Jinping to Lai Xing'er first: "If you want to say that Jinping is in front of the emperor, he really has face, only entered the palace and walked so much today, and the matter was done." ”
Jinping was embarrassed by Jing Zhao's praise, and said humbly: "Where is it so easy as you said, young master." If it weren't for the convenience of my children, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't have agreed so readily. ”
Seeing that Lai Xing'er was staring at herself with an inquiring gaze, expecting herself to continue, Jinping Wan'er smiled, and then told Lai Xing'er about her entry into the palace early this morning.
Because a year ago, Jinping was willing to give up his good future in the palace, and when Lai Xing'er was in the most danger, he resolutely married him, which made the emperor look at the bride maid beside Jing Xuan with admiration and have a good impression. When Lai Xing'er made great contributions to the country in the battle to recover Chang'an, he was given the title of Marquis of Fuyuan by the emperor, Jinping was also taken special care by the emperor, and was named a county monarch, enjoying a title that only the royal family can obtain.
Because of this, as soon as the emperor heard that Jinping had entered the palace to ask for a meeting in the palace today, he immediately met her in the Zichen Palace.
After meeting with the emperor, Jinping explained his intention to the emperor in accordance with the words discussed with Lai Xing'er last night, in the name of entering the palace to take care of Princess Xueqing's diet and daily life.
After hearing this, the emperor nodded frequently with a smile, and praised: "Well, I was reminded by Yu Chengen a few days ago, thinking that now that you and Xing'er have been crowned kings and marquises, it is not a way to live in the palace of Dongyang County for a long time, and I am trying to choose a house with good feng shui in Chang'an City and reward you as a mansion, but I haven't found a suitable place for a while." Since you have such thoughts about Xueqing, I am naturally glad that you come to live in the palace. But I thought that Xing'er didn't want him to go to the western frontier again after returning to Beijing this time, and planned to keep him by my side to lead the forbidden army. I don't want to be called a wicked person who broke up your pair of mandarin ducks. ”
Jinping was teased by the emperor, but he was not ashamed or anxious, and explained to the emperor: "The saint doesn't know, Xing'er returned to the house yesterday and talked to me, he was ordered to go to Liangzhou on an errand this time, and received the grace of the saint, rewarding him for what he did. He planned to stay in Chang'an for two days, and when he had sent an envoy to the Holy Lord, he would return to Fenning and lead his group of brothers to fight against the Tubo army and make new contributions to the imperial court. The concubine proposed to the saint to move into the palace this time, and Xing'er first told me about it. For this reason, yesterday, he even gave his son's name, which was called Laizhen, which means to suppress evil in the country. Holy Lord, listen, where does Xing'er still have the mind to guard his wife and children to live a stable life at this moment. ”
When the emperor heard this, he laughed and said, "Good, good, good." Well, come to the town and fight evil for the country. Xing'er is really loyal to me, not only did she take the initiative to ask for help, willing to return to the western Xinjiang, and lead the army to make meritorious contributions, but also gave her son such a good name, asking your mother and son to enter the palace together to capture the evil for me. If I am not allowed to play, I will not live up to Xing'er's sincere heart. After Xuan'er left, only Xue Qing lived alone in Baoxiang Palace temporarily, and it was inevitable that she would be lonely, and if you brought a nursing baby to live in, it would naturally become lively, so that it could also divert Xue Qing's attention, don't want her to miss her mother all day long, and then fall ill in the future.
