CHAPTER XVII
"Also, can you please bring me a word?" Alain said cautiously.
Alan usually doesn't talk much, and he doesn't often talk to her when he delivers food at Guling Peak, maybe he survived the battlefield, and he is much less lively and innocent than an ordinary nine-year-old child.
Ling Yueyan nodded, carrying his sword behind his back.
"If you have a chance to meet Yuwei, tell her for me... I miss her. A hint of redness leaked from Alain's always stubborn little face.
Ling Yueyan smiled: "Is the fifth senior sister also in Youjing City?" Why don't you write to her yourself or go down the mountain to meet her? ”
Alan turned his face away and turned his back to Ling Yueyan: "I promised her that I would never go down the mountain for the rest of my life." ”
Lifetime? Ling Yueyan looked at Alain's back, but he was curious about what happened to the two sisters.
The sky was slightly bright, Ling Yueyan readily agreed to Alain, walked to the stone steps and stopped, the wind blew her dress, the green silk scattered, flicking the skirt, she turned around and said, "Alain, what is the name of the third senior brother?" ”
Alan was stunned for a moment, his eyes hesitant, thinking to himself if this was a condition for her to pass on the message to Yuwei? Alan couldn't help but compare Yuwei and the third senior brother in his heart, and then said, "I don't know." ”
Ling Yueyan smiled, turned around and went down the mountain, the wind did not stop, the clothes were flying, the clouds were rising and the sun was sinking, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
Ling Yueyan was silent all the way on the carriage back to the right capital, and the small box sat opposite and looked at her, with a big round face wrinkled, and raised the curtain of the carriage and asked Li Nannan, who was riding a horse outside: "Second Miss, do you think that our young lady has changed." ”
Li Nannan glanced at Ling Yueyan through the car window and spit out two words: "It's dark." ”
The small box glanced at Li Nannan, put down the curtain, and said angrily: "Miss is black, but you are darker and uglier!" ”
Before Li Nannan could answer, Ling Yueyan just listened to this sentence and asked the little box: "You mean I have become ugly?" ”
"Miss, don't worry, after you go back, take care of it for a few days, and you will definitely return to the previous prosperous beauty." The little box not only did not deny it, but also indirectly admitted that Ling Yueyan had become black and ugly.
Ling Yueyan was so angry that he swore that he would take good care of it for a month after he went back, and not go out for a month, and he must not let those official ladies see it, let alone let Ye Zhengge see her ugly appearance.
In fact, except for being a little darker, Ling Yueyan's appearance was even more glamorous and vulgar than a year ago, and Xiao Box's just noticed that the young lady always seemed to have something on her mind and wanted to divert her attention.
The little box looked at the young lady who was still concerned about her appearance, and smiled happily, although the young lady a year ago was also very beautiful, but there was a layer of blood between the skin, and she looked pale, but now the young lady's peach cheeks are red, and there is a heroic spirit in her demeanor, and her childishness has been taken off, which is very good-looking.
Ling Yueyan was originally a character who couldn't stay, but because of the sentence of the small box, he became ugly, and he really stayed in the mansion for a month without going out, until he raised himself again to be white and fat, no, white and beautiful, and then he was invited by the Liu family of Shuhou Mansion to participate in the annual winter banquet.
Speaking of this winter banquet, in fact, it is a banquet to invite the young ladies and sons of various families to get together, whether it is a blind date or making friends, it is a banquet for people to relieve boredom, but it is also different from the general banquet, according to legend, the emperor founded the dynasty for more than ten years, in order to consolidate the foundation of the imperial court, the winter banquet will come in person every year.
For this reason, the winter banquet has been passed down like this, and every year each family fights for the right to hold the winter banquet, and I heard that this year, the Liu family of Shuhou Mansion can get this opportunity, or stained with the light of the late Li Shangshu.
"It's really embarrassing for you to say that this Miss Li is so embarrassing, my sister has been missing for a year and I haven't seen her care, but she used her dead father to sell face for a banquet, it's really hypocritical!" The small box is as open-mouthed as ever.
Ling Yueyan looked outside, fortunately Li Nannan was not here, otherwise the scene would be so embarrassing, this Shu Hou Mansion Liu family is Miss Li's husband's family.
"You be quiet, you have to toss when Ling Xian hears it!" Ling Yueyan gestured at the hairpin ring on his head in the makeup mirror, he hadn't dressed up for a long time, and he was a little unaccustomed to these heavy jewelry.
The little box made a mouth covering motion, the mouth was too big to cover his hands, just kidding.
The noisy sound outside gradually rose, the New Year is about to be celebrated, Chinese New Year's Eve is Ling Yueyan's birthday, this birthday Ling Xian has to give her a big event, no, there is still half a month, and it will begin to be arranged.
Ling Yueyan was tired of tinkering with jewelry, got up and walked to the bedside to pick up the long sword that Master Ji gave her, she thought about it for a long time, but she still didn't think about what name to choose.
"Miss, I'm really angry for Miss Li Er, why don't we go tomorrow, so as to save her this face, so that everyone thinks that the general's daughter, who can't be invited by anyone, was invited by her." The little box said loudly.
Ling Yueyan ignored the small box, took out his long sword, and flew into the courtyard: "Purple Cicada, practice." ”
As soon as the words fell, the purple cicada appeared out of thin air, and it was also a sword in his hand, and he tried it with Ling Yueyan, and the family members who were working outside were used to it, but they were a little farther away, and they did their own things, only the small box stood at the door and jumped anxiously.
"Did the young lady listen to me! To say that the former emperor is also idle, he has nothing to do with a winter banquet, and the centennial celebration is also, obviously more than ten years after the founding of the country, he has to make up a whole number, he deserves it..."
"Be careful!" The anxious voice of the purple cicada came, and the family members looked up at this side, Ling Yueyan stabbed the arm of the small box with a sword, and the little box had no time to be surprised and fainted.
"What are you guys messing around again!" Brother Ling Xian appeared at the gate of the courtyard, followed by the new emperor and queen mother of Chao Jiaguo, and... Brother Ye Zheng.
No one told her that Brother Ye Zheng would come to the mansion today, Ling Yueyan bypassed the eyes of Ling Xian and everyone, and saw Jun Ye Zheng walking at the back at a glance.
Chic and beautiful boy, before the Yushu was in the wind, Brother Ye Zheng was wearing a pale blue regular clothes today, obviously standing there and doing nothing, just looking at this side with indifferent eyes, but he was covered with light.
"I ask you what you're messing about!" Ling Xian roared again, pulling Ling Yueyan's thoughts back.
She protected the wound of the small box with her right hand and knelt on the ground, and everyone in the courtyard reacted and knelt on the ground together: "See the emperor, the queen mother, and the third prince." ”
The new emperor Jun Ce, who had just ascended the throne, was dressed in a black dragon dress trimmed with gold edges, with his hands behind his back, staring at Ling Yueyan, Ling Yueyan raised his head slightly and glanced at him, and then lowered his head again.
After a long silence, looking at Ling Xian's angry expression at this time, Ling Yueyan knew that what the little box said just now must have been heard, this group of people is really idle enough, except for Brother Ye Zheng, what did he come to her yard to do without doing business, Ling Yueyan's brain was running fast, and he had to hurry up and think of a statement, otherwise let alone the little box, it would be difficult to say whether her life would be saved or not.
"I... We... We are singing in the troupe of Xuefenyuan! Ling Yueyan withdrew his hand that was protecting the wound in the small box, and kowtowed to the ground with both hands.
"The courtiers don't know the severity, but they hurt the maid at will in order to learn to sing, and they should be punished, so they invited themselves... Ask yourself for a hundred boards to apologize. ”
She didn't know what she was talking nonsense, the scene was stiff for a while, Ling Xian was in a hurry, such disrespectful words, no matter who said it, it was heard by the emperor himself from the palace, and the death penalty was inevitable.
Ling Xian glanced at the eunuch next to the emperor, the eunuch shook his head quietly, not knowing what he meant, just as Ling Xian was about to kneel down to confess his guilt, the queen mother walked out.
walked all the way to Ling Yueyan to help her up, the queen mother's dress was also very low-key, but it was difficult to hide the temperament of the mother's world, and pulled Ling Yueyan with a gentle smile: "The mourning family didn't want to come out, the emperor had to pull the mourning family to live a private visit, if it weren't for Zheng'er and his imperial brother to help the mourning family, I wouldn't be able to watch this good show today." ”
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins." Ling Yueyan was about to kneel down again, but was pulled by the Queen Mother.
"What is the sin? If you want to say that you are wrong, it is the fault that so many of us ran to your daughter's house, okay, okay, let's invite someone to show this maid, don't miss and take someone's life. ”
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, a eunuch went to invite the medical officer, Ling Yueyan didn't dare to look up at the emperor, but just glanced at the pair of soft leather black boots that belonged to Brother Ye Zheng.
"Ling Xian." The emperor spoke.
Ling Xian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "The end will be." ”
"It seems that General Ling is staying in the Dongshan military camp again, and telling him to pay attention to the old man, so that the people will say that I don't care for the founding general, and I am losing my benevolence."
"The last general has sent someone to inform his father to return to the house immediately, the emperor is benevolent and courteous, and loves the people's lives, and the courtiers govern the soldiers well and share the emperor's worries, which is natural." Ling Xian had a good hand at the horses, and Ling Yueyan couldn't help but feel a different kind of respect and admiration for his brother in his heart.
"Hahaha~" The elder brother's hand really made the emperor happy, and the emperor turned to look at Jun Yezheng behind him.
"Third brother, don't you think the weather is very good today?"
Jun Yezheng smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "It's really good, I haven't tasted Ling Xian's kung fu tea for a long time, it matches today's weather perfectly." ”
"Then it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and the queen mother will also go with us to taste this kung fu tea."
The Queen Mother patted Ling Yueyan's hand lightly, as if comforting, and then left with the emperor, Ling Yueyan raised his head to look at the pale blue back, and his eyes were hesitant.
When everyone left, Li Nannan ran in with the medical officer, Ling Yueyan hurriedly picked up the small box on the ground and went back to the room, she had a light weight in her hand, the sword was not deep, and the coma of the small box was mostly frightened.
"I heard that the emperor has successively visited the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Shuhou Mansion where the winter banquet will be held tomorrow, and the General's Mansion who came last to come." When Li Nannan talked about Shuhou Mansion, he didn't have any different emotions.
The medical officer bandaged the small box, took a few medicines and left, Ling Yueyan frowned, and Lu Gu watched his expression from the sidelines, and said worriedly: "Miss, did the emperor and the queen mother hear it or not..."
