Chapter 5: The Unpredictable Fate

In this way, after Hong Ling washed and changed her clothes alone, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and dressed up by combing her hair, this is also the first time she has come to this world to look at this body so seriously, Hong Ling couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Jiang Ling'er is really beautiful, coupled with the careful attention of several palace maids, there is no flaw on her body, and she can't help but look stunned.

"County Lord, County Lord?"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"What does the county lord think of this makeup? Are you satisfied? ”

Hongling smiled: "Not bad, very good"

"Then the county lord, let's leave for the palace quickly, the emperor has specially arranged a ceremony for you to be enthroned."

"Canonized?" Hong Ling was shocked

"That's right, this dress of yours was specially ordered by the emperor to make it"

Hongling noticed this dress at this time, and privately thought that her prime minister's father and mother asked her to make this kind of formal clothes to wear, and it looked carefully that this material was really delicate, and the embroidered patterns on it were also unique to the royal family, so she continued: "Then let's go."

So there is such a scenery in the Prime Minister's Mansion, a noble lady with peerless elegance, dragging a long pendulum, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, holding and hugging all the way. When he arrived at the main hall, he was the only one who was Wang Anxin, and he didn't even have time to speak, so he hurriedly finished breakfast, guessed that Jiang Zhong was estimated to be in the palace, so he gave Wang Anxin a calm smile, and Hongling was surrounded by the carriage, which filled the entire street.

Finally had to enter the palace, in front of the palace, a eunuch with a sharp voice announced the beginning of the ceremony, Hongling was supported by an older palace maid to do various ceremonies, and finally ended, and in front of the ministers and the emperor's family members kowtowed "thank the saint for his grace" and "flat, give sitting".

At this point, the banquet after the ceremony also began, Hongling sat on the side of the emperor's children, on the left were several princes, and on the upper right near the emperor was his only daughter Liu Huamin, known as Princess Huamin.

A mighty palace entrance ceremony and banquet were finally completed, and before Hongling could take a break, another order came: "Spread the emperor's message, now the lord of Ruyi County enters the palace, I treat each other as a princess, Liu Ling'er must not be slack because of my favor, from tomorrow onwards I must practice the etiquette and etiquette in the palace every day, and must not be lazy", Hongling listened to this large string of woods in a daze, and kowtowed: "Thank the emperor for his grace", after the eunuch who passed the oracle left, Hongling collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, thinking about how to spend the next days, sleepiness hit, simply ignored it and fell asleep.

The next day, when the sky was still bright, someone knocked on the door and told Hongling to get up, wash, and eat breakfast, Hongling just thought, endure it, endure it, and she will rest at noon, but after eating lunch, she started boring training again before half an hour, and it was not until it was late at night that Hongling had her own time to take a bath to freshen up and rest. In this way, Hong Ling is either copying books and reciting women's rules all day long, or practicing etiquette training pace, and even the way of talking and walking is listed in the course, and even the palace maids who serve her are all replaced by the emperor with teachers who teach her, which is so pervasive that Hong Ling always feels that someone is staring at her even when she goes to the toilet.

After a few days, Hongling had a sore back, and there was nowhere to complain, only to endure it, and gradually she learned almost all these basic movements and etiquette, Hongling just felt a little more relaxed, and the emperor replaced this group of palace maids, and taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Hongling only felt miserable, so in the closed training, two months passed quietly.

On this day, above the court, "Your Majesty, Nanzhao State has reported that the envoys will be sent in five days", the emperor raised his eyebrows and said: "In this way, more people will be sent to ensure the safety of the envoys after they enter the country, and at the same time, the people of the Ministry of Respect should be ready to welcome the envoys."

On this day, under the court, Hong Ling was playing against the teacher who taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, "The county lord is talented, and the skill of the game has been quite sophisticated" The master touched his beard and said, dropping a chess piece, "The master is too much, and the student is still far away" Hong Ling took out a son and fell.

I saw the master smile heartily: "You girl is clever, this son is wonderful" After that, he took the son and considered it, for a long time, the master did not think of a way to crack it, and touched his beard and said: "This endgame is going to let me watch for a while, you can practice the piano", Hongling pursed her lips and said: "Yes", so she sat in an octagonal pavilion with the qin, playing the repertoire she had just learned, and then the melodious pipa sound floated in the whole courtyard.

The next day, the emperor suddenly visited, "Ling'er has been in the palace recently, can you still adapt to it?" Hong Ling learned the etiquette, and replied after the salute: "Habit is habit, but, but it's always a little tired", Hong Ling had the courage to make her dissatisfied voice, and the emperor said clearly: "In this case, why don't you show me tomorrow, if you are qualified, I will let you have a few days off, how about it?" As he spoke, he picked up the tea on the table, but he didn't even look at Hongling.

Hongling made up his mind: "Okay", the emperor took a sip of tea, and said with interest: "You made this tea?" Hongling was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Yes", the emperor looked at her and smiled: "It's a good bubble", and then got up and left, leaving Hongling alone to stay where she was for no reason.

Hong Ling didn't know what this emperor wanted to do, but she had been listening to him and doing so, she hadn't been home for two months, and she hadn't heard any news from home, if she passed the assessment tomorrow, in general, she could go home once, thinking of this, Hong Ling smiled unconsciously, and even the palace maid next to her was stunned, they had never seen Hong Ling smile like this in the past two months, so beautiful, so beautiful that people didn't want to take their eyes off.

Hongling came back to her senses and said: "I want to practice all the things I have learned recently", and then I went to the house to practice with the girl and the book, the palace maids who guarded the room were so tired that they couldn't do it, but the main owner of the house was still practicing, and a little palace maid couldn't stand it and reminded: "The county lord, tomorrow's assessment, the master should rest early", Hongling heard this, saw that it was not early, and thought that it made sense, so she put away her things and went to sleep.

The next day, Hongling got up early in the morning without shouting, and was energetic and ready for the assessment. After breakfast, the sun rose in mid-air, and the emperor took a group of teachers to Hongling's courtyard, each of which had a teacher in charge, and it was almost noon when the exam was almost over, and only the last chess skills were left.

The master who taught chess touched his beard and smiled: "Your Majesty, there is no need to test this chess skill, the level of the county lord is already above me, and I only cracked the last game", the emperor looked very interested when he heard it, "Oh? Ling'er has already been able to defeat the master? "Yes". Immediately, the emperor looked at Hongling again and said, "Since the items tested today are all of the highest grade, there is no need to attend classes from now on, and you can come and go freely, but you can't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion yet."

Hong Ling was secretly happy, and when she heard this, she blurted out in a hurry: "Why? The emperor paused and said, "No why, this is an order!" After that, he didn't leave Hongling a chance to ask again, and continued: "After sitting for so many hours, I am also a little tired, can the meal be prepared?" The eunuch who served said, "It has been arranged." So the crowd left again, leaving Hongling alone.

Hongling was sullen for a day, and she barely comforted herself until the evening, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, and finally there is a holiday, how can it be so wasted, so she simply called the palace maid who often went out of the palace to do procurement, and asked: "Do you know where it is more fun outside the palace?" The palace maid Nuo Nuo glanced at Hongling, "The slave doesn't know," Hongling sat up in a hurry, "How could it be?" Aren't you out of the palace a lot? "The slaves and maids only went to buy things, and did not visit". Hongling sighed, "Then you can always help me find a men's dress", "Slave, slave, forgive the slave and maid for being incompetent" said and knelt down, Hongling waved her hand helplessly, "Forget it, you guys go out."

After the palace maids retreated, Hongling sat sullenly on the soft collapse again, thinking that in the past two months, in addition to being in her own courtyard, she had not been in this palace well, so she didn't do anything, found a less conspicuous dress from the cabinet to change into, and went out from the side door of the courtyard, along a path, but there were too many staggered paths, Hongling suddenly realized that she couldn't find the way back, and after a moment of confusion, she simply left the trouble of recognizing the road behind and walked around, and somehow came to the end along a road, The junction is an extremely beautiful garden, I want to go out in the evening is now dark, but the moonlight still has an indescribable mysterious charm, Hongling walked into it, admiring the flowers shrouded in the moonlight, thinking that if it is daytime, this flower does not know what kind of competition it will be, and it is a period of aimless wandering, a pond appeared in front of me, and there is a four-corner pavilion in the center of the pond, but after looking around, Hongling sadly found that there was no way to the four-corner pavilion.

"Who are you?" As Hong Ling was thinking, a knife was over her neck

"I, I'm the Lord of Ruyi" Hong Ling didn't dare to move, and the person didn't have the slightest intention of letting her go

"Who told you to come here?"

"If you say that I can't find my way and wander around, do you believe it?"

The man raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "If you lie, do you guess what this king will do with you?" ”

Apparently that the man didn't believe Hongling's words, wait, 'this king'?

"You, you are the prince? We are still nominal relatives now" Saying that, Hong Ling laughed dryly twice and tried to make the man let down his guard, but the man was obviously angered by Hong Ling's attitude of asking and not answering, and the knife was further close to Hong Ling's neck, leaving a faint red mark on Hong Ling's neck, Hong Ling only felt a tingling pain in her neck, "Say, what are you doing?" "I, I'm the lord of Ruyi" The man frowned, Hong Ling was afraid that he would stab again, and said eagerly: "I really came here the wrong way, I, I, I, I, I'm sorry, I, don't kill me", Hong Ling squeezed out a few tears very spinelessly, just hoping to impress this so-called prince.

The man's frown deepened a little, and he threatened, "Don't cry!" Hongling couldn't stop her tears when she was yelled at like this, and only vaguely felt that this method seemed to be effective, "Take back the tears!" Don't cry! ”。

Seeing that he was so afraid of this cry, Hongling cried even more unscrupulously, when there were no tears, he tried to recall the tragedy of those years, and unconsciously Hongling had been crying for more than ten minutes, during which the person was at a loss, and repeatedly said sharply: "This king ordered you, don't cry!" ”。

Here Hongling tried to cry hard, and the man over there was at a loss and finally put away his sword next to him, "I won't kill you, don't cry", Hongling heard this and cried, "Really? The man suddenly reacted, and was about to draw the sword again, Hongling immediately put on a look that if you want to draw the sword, I will cry, the man couldn't help but helpless, and simply compromised, "Forget it, this king doesn't care about you, you go."

When Hongling heard the fake cry, the person was disturbed by the cry, and said, "What's the matter?" "I can't find my way back? After being silent for a while, Hongling wanted to cry again, "Okay, this king will take you back" Hongling saw that this trick was so useful, so she ......

"Can you give me a proper men's outfit?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Woo..."

"Okay, here you go"

"Are you the prince?"

“.....”

"Woo..."

"King Pu"
