Chapter 12: The Petition
Early the next morning, Lin Qingwan opened the door, and a ray of sunlight in the early morning stung her eyes.
Wakage stood outside the door, saw her come out, and arched her hand and said, "Say hello to the county lord!" ”
Lin Qingwan stood with his eyes squinted for a while, obviously not waking up yet, "Ruoying Guard, why aren't you in a hurry to eat today?" ”
"Back to the county lord, the prince went to the court with the prime minister early in the morning, but he was not in the house! Also, the county lord can call his subordinates Wakaying in the future. ”
Ruoying is not very old, and she is always a little shy when she talks to Lin Qingwan, probably because she has been in the military camp all year round and has never been in contact with the opposite sex!
Thinking of this, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but bow his head and smile.
Steward Wang came in from outside, "Miss, Miss Zhao is here!" ”
"Invite my sister to come in and talk!"
Zhao Lingxiao walked in quickly in a light green gauze dress, with a high bun on her head and a jade hairpin swaying, which was pleasing to the eye!
"Sister, this daughter is so beautiful!" Lin Qingwan praised without hesitation.
Zhao Lingxiao heard early in the morning that Xiao Muning brought three carts of corpses into the palace to face the saint, and just by looking at the corpses, he knew how tragic the battle was last night. Unexpectedly, the one who was almost assassinated was still in the mood to admire her dress when they met!
"O my little ancestor! It's been all the news that you were assassinated last night. You're still in the mood to laugh with me? Are you hurt? Zhao Lingxiao pulled Lin Qingwan and asked.
"I'm fine, I'm not hurt, it happened so fast last night that it was over before I had time to be afraid!" Lin Qingwan pulled Zhao Lingxiao to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.
Zhao Lingxiao glanced at the guards at the door, "These guards belong to the prince?" ”
"Well, this yard is also his!"
Zhao Lingxiao stood up suddenly, and his leg hit the corner of the table, grinning in pain, "What! That's how your aunt let you in? ”
"Sister calm! The two of us are in the same house and different houses, what are we afraid of? Besides, if he dares to plot against him, his head will be screwed off! Lin Qingwan thought of last night, gritted his teeth and said cruel words.
Hearing this, all the guards, including Ruoying, were cold on their necks, and it was not easy to mess with the future princess at a young age.
"Seeing that my sister is fine, I am relieved, my father should go to the morning court! I'll go back first, and I'll see you another day! Zhao Lingxiao got up to leave.
"Sister will wear more daughter's clothes in the future! Pretty! ”
Seeing Zhao Lingxiao away, Xiao Tan and Zizhu came back from outside, bringing a lot of things they usually use.
"Is this moving? So much stuff! ”
Xiao Tan replied, "In the morning, the prince instructed the slave maid to bring over the things that the young lady needs to use daily, and don't go back to live for the time being!" ”
Lin Qingwan shook his head, "The prince is really worried!" Last night was so big, I guess this was their last assassination attempt! If you do it again, the people won't be able to talk about it, and when the people are in a roar, the emperor won't stand idly by! ”
Xiao Tan didn't put down the things while holding them, "Then the slave will send these things back?" ”
Lin Qingwan thought of the corpse in a courtyard last night, and muttered a little in his heart, "No, since the prince is kind, we will accept his love!" Take it in! ”
Lin Qingwan turned to look at these guards, "You have been standing all night, there will be no assassins in broad daylight, go back and rest for a while!" ”
The guards looked at each other, but no one moved.
Ruoying stepped forward, "County Lord, if the prince comes back and sees that we are not guarding you, he will definitely be punished!" ”
Lin Qingwan estimated the time, it was still early for the next dynasty, sat down on the stone bench again, waved his hand and said, "Then come and chat for a while, talk about the heroic deeds of your prince's three armies!" ”
Several of them came over and stood in a row in front of Lin Qingwan, not to mention the light, which made Lin Qingwan feel oppressed, "Can you sit down?" I look up and see your necks hurt! Sit it all! ”
Several people looked at each other, through a series of things that happened yesterday, Lin Qingwan had a good impression in their hearts, hesitated for a while, and still sat down around the round stone table in a proper manner.
Ruoying saw that everyone was the first to speak, and asked cautiously, "County Lord, you won't secretly promise our prince because of last night's incident!" ”
Lin Qingwan sneered a few times, "You think too much!" I just want to hear stories. ”
One of the guards grabbed the words, "What the county lord said is not right, the prince of our family is handsome, and the princess of the enemy country likes it when she sees it!" So if you like it in your heart, it doesn't hurt to say it, after all, the prince has an outstanding demeanor, and his subordinates can understand it. ”
Lin Qingwan poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Thanks to winning this battle, otherwise your prince would have to be sent to kiss!" ”
Everyone laughed, and Ruoying said with a smile, "According to the county lord, then Xu Luochen should be allowed to make peace with us now." ”
After Ruoying finished speaking, everyone laughed even happier, only Lin Qingwan looked at them blankly, "Who is Xu Luochen?" ”
Another guard explained, "He is the commander of the enemy country, and his strategic appearance is on par with our prince, and he is also a young talent in the wind of Yushu. ”
"Yo, Lord Ning's nemesis! Hearing you say that, I'd love to see you. Lin Qingwan was imagining in his mind.
"Who do you want to meet?" A cold voice came from outside the courtyard.
The guards present hurriedly stood up from the stools, consciously lowered their heads and stood in a row, "Lord Wang." ”
Lin Qingwan didn't expect today's early dynasty to be so fast.
Xiao Muning walked into the small courtyard in court clothes, and when Lin Qingwan got up to look at him, he looked at the guards behind her with cold eyes, "You guys are very comfortable!" Say, how do you want to be punished? ”
Lin Qingwan stepped forward and saluted, "Say hello to the prince!" The prince has gone down to court so early! ”
Xiao Muning glanced at her and ignored her.
Lin Qingwan took two steps forward and whispered, "Lord Wang, they have all stood all night, it's strange and hard." If you are punished for talking to the courtiers again, then the courtiers will not have the face to see them again in the future. Is it good for the prince to raise his noble hand and sell his courtiers for a favor? ”
Xiao Muning chuckled and obviously didn't buy her account, "You can bend and stretch, haven't you forgotten who splashed me with bathwater last night, and alluded to my misconduct?" ”
Lin Qingwan's face stiffened, and then he smiled again, "Lord Wang, this is all a misunderstanding, who made you go into the courtier's boudoir without sleeping in the middle of the night." ”
"Okay, I'm at fault, but I also saved you, didn't I? Then the merits and demerits will be offset! Since we owe nothing to each other, this king's favor is not so easy to want. Xiao Muning also wanted to know what she would do with this favor.
Lin Qingwan bit her lip and thought for a while, "The courtiers have been making summer pajamas recently, and they want to make one for the prince, and the prince just needs to say what color he likes!" ”
Xiao Muning saw her skirt last night, the style is chic, and the craftsmanship seems to be good.
"What's your color?"
"Mine? A darker red. ”
"Just like you!"
Lin Qingwan didn't expect him to agree so readily, for fear that he would regret it, "After the courtier is done, she will personally send it to the prince." ”
Xiao Muning nodded, crossed Lin Qingwan and said to Ruoying and the others, "It's okay, you all go down!" ”
The guards didn't react for a while, they stood still and didn't move, and the plot reversed too quickly!
"What? Don't go and wait to be punished? Xiao Muning said coldly.
Ruoying hurriedly dragged a few other guards, "Lord Xie, my subordinates will retire!" ”
Several people walked out of the courtyard and looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the prince would suddenly change his sex when he met Lord Lin! It seems that this future princess is quite a bit of a way!
"I haven't had breakfast yet! You go first, I'll change my clothes and I'll come later. After speaking, Xiao Muning also left.
In the front hall, four people sat around the dining table, and the porridge and side dishes looked very delicious. Xiao Muning didn't move the chopsticks, and everyone could only watch, Lin Qingwan had been hungry for a long time, and seeing that the breakfast in front of him couldn't move, everyone began to go out of his body.
Xiao Muning glanced at Lin Qingwan, who was sitting diagonally opposite, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Let's talk while eating!" ”
"Today, above the court, my father ordered the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate the case, and it is estimated that someone will come to check the scene in the next two days, and Xiangye has a preparation." Xiao Muning's words were clearly said to Lin Xiang, but they were actually said to Lin Qingwan.
"Don't worry, the prince will arrange everything! It's just that the prince thinks that the emperor will try his best to investigate? Lin Xiang asked tactfully.
"In a few days it will be the birthday of the empress, and the king has heard that the envoy of the northern cold has brought a congratulatory gift on the way here, and will arrive in Kyoto in a few days. The father should have no time to take care of this case, and it is inevitable that it will not be resolved in the end. ”
Xiao Muning didn't expect the emperor to find out the real murderer, in addition to warning the murderer, he just wanted the people to take a look, incite rumors, and tell everyone that he and Lin Qingwan, the hard-working mandarin ducks, were in a weak position, and won some sympathy and favor!
This little bit of his mind is tacitly understood by everyone here.
Lin Xiang nodded, "Wan'er, the emperor knows that you are frightened, so don't go out for the next two days." Just prepare for the birthday gift of the queen's mother. ”
Lin Qingwan ate almost, and said obediently, "Yes, my daughter knows!"
