Chapter 184: The bet was lost
Now that they have made peace, there is no need to go slowly, and the team returned to Lin'an City in just one day.
After freshening up and changing clothes, it was time to enter the palace to face the saint, and Zuo Xiangling also went with her, after all, it was time for her to ask Emperor Li Shaowu to fulfill his promise.
As soon as she thought that she would be able to be with Shangguan Fei in a bright and bright way, or even get married, she was so happy, and the hardships along the way could finally be rewarded.
In the study, Shangguan Feibai, Qin Puze, Yan Congyun, and Li Mingrui were all there, and she was naturally there.
After they each received the reward, Li Shaowu kept talking about other things, and he didn't pull it down like a cold and warm, but he didn't mention their gambling contract, Zuo Xiangling faintly felt a little bad.
Finally waited for Li Shaowu to let everyone leave, leaving her alone, Zuo Xiangling looked at Li Shaowu nervously, her eyes were full of expectations.
Li Shaowu's smile was not as happy as just now, but it also became majestic.
"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten to make a bet with you, but I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to your request."
Zuo Xiangling raised her head in surprise and saw Li Shaowu's regretful expression.
"Why?"
Zuo Xiangling was so emotional that she almost didn't rush to Li Shaowu to question at once, but fortunately, she was glared at by Yang Ling, who was waiting on Li Shaowu's side, and immediately reacted to her rude words and deeds just now, and stopped her pace in time.
At this moment, Zuo Xiangling's joy is completely gone, and some are just full of anger.
"I don't think you have forgotten that we were betting on two things."
Li Shaowu was obviously laughing, but Zuo Xiangling felt that his smile was like a deep whirlpool, making people unable to see what was underneath, but he felt deeply afraid, maybe this is the majesty of the Son of Heaven, I don't like it.
"I remember, this war is over, I think, Your Majesty already knows that it is because of the armistice letter, you should also know the details of it, if this matter is not counted as my victory, I will not accept it."
Zuo Xiangling's eyes were blazing, and she couldn't wait to burn Li Shaowu out of a hole.
Who knew that Li Shaowu was still smiling lightly, smiling so mysteriously.
"This is indeed your credit."
Li Shaowu sent secret guards to follow him all the way as early as the day of their expedition, reporting the situation to him at any time, for the sake of war, but to prevent any changes in the army.
"Then why can't I make a bet......
As soon as Zuo Xiangling said this, she realized something, since it was not a matter of war, it was the first thing about expanding the treasury, she was a little puzzled, obviously the double treasury silver, 1.2 million taels, she clearly completed it.
How could it be......
Raising her head, Zuo Xiangling looked at Li Shaowu with a puzzled expression, but Li Shaowu smiled even deeper.
"You have paid a lot of money to the treasury, and you have repaid what you originally borrowed, but you are negligent, how can you believe that the treasury of a country will only have 600,000 taels of gold."
There was obvious regret in these words, but Zuo Xiangling felt that his smile and regret were very dazzling.
"How could it be ......?"
Zuo Xiangling couldn't believe that she had lost like this, and she couldn't make money, but it was impossible for her to keep up with Guan Feibai.
"You frame me!"
Zuo Xiangling suddenly stretched out a hand to Li Shaowu, and Yang Ling on Li Shaowu's side exclaimed.
"Bold, who gave you the guts, dare to point at Your Majesty today! Come on, don't drag this shrew away. ”
The sharp voice is difficult to hear, but Zuo Xiangling is no longer in the mood to care about this.
Li Shaowu thought about it, stopped Yang Ling, and said with a sigh.
"In terms of business and courage and ability, you are indeed a rare strange woman, but if you want to be Yuan'er's side concubine, it is far from enough. However, you don't have to mind, with your qualifications and talents, it's still okay to stay by Yuan'er's side and be a concubine. ”
Listening to Li Shaowu's very generous tone, Zuo Xiangling sneered, although she is not completely losing her mind now, she is not far from losing her mind.
"Concubine? Who's going to be his concubine! ”
Zuo Xiangling couldn't help the anger, and completely ignored what she said.
She worked so hard, but in the end she was just a concubine, so it was better not to enter the palace and be a beautiful woman in Shangguan Fei's platinum house.
If it weren't for Li Shaowu to stop her, it is estimated that Yang Ling would have led someone to drag her to behead, and he dared to sprinkle in front of the lord of a country, and said such a rebellious thing.
"Since you don't want to be his concubine, look elsewhere, and as for business, as long as you are willing, I am still willing to cooperate with you."
When Zuo Xiangling heard this, she laughed so much that tears came out, and they all said that people who can be kings are by no means comparable to ordinary people, and today she finally saw what an incomparable one.
This scheming is deep enough, and the skin is thick enough!
But Zuo Xiangling quickly calmed down, since she couldn't marry Shangguan Feibai, then she would bring disaster to the country and the people, first monopolized the economy of Chu, and then united with other countries to destroy Chu, Adil seems to be a good candidate.
However, this is just Zuo Xiangling's imagination, even if she really thinks so, she can't show it first, unless she doesn't want to live.
Wiping her tears and tidying up her sideburns, Zuo Xiangling took a deep breath and forced herself to laugh.
He bowed to Li Shaowu and said.
"It was rude to the grass people just now, Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch, I guess I won't care about me, since I don't have the opportunity to marry His Royal Highness King Jing, then I will be a businesswoman, just want to be content with a glance from a distance occasionally."
Zuo Xiangling said this very emotionally, and there was no spiciness, as if it was not her who was hoarse in front of the emperor just now.
Li Shaowu's eyes became deeper and deeper when he looked at Zuo Xiangling.
"Even so, it's very good, in a few days I will hold a palace banquet to celebrate the end of the war, and you have also contributed to this, and it is not impossible to participate in the palace banquet."
The words have come to this point, how could Zuo Xiangling refuse.
"The grass people obey."
Zuo Xiangling knelt down and thanked him, turned around and walked out of the study, came with joy, and left angrily.
The moment she saw Shangguan Feibai, Zuo Xiangling almost didn't hold back, and almost cried, fortunately, she had already vented it before, otherwise she might really be dissatisfied with the emperor now, and say it in front of so many pairs of eyes in one breath.
"How about it, what did Your Majesty say about it?"
Yan Congyun was crowned as the county lord, Qin Puze was in charge of the cashier's transfer, and Li Mingrui and Shangguan Feibai were generals, and each of them also had a certain amount of military power.
Zuo Xiangling was calm and said with a reluctant smile.
"It's nothing, just tell me to come to the palace banquet in a few days, and then we can enter the palace together."
Zuo Xiangling pretended to be relaxed, and didn't dare to look at Shangguan Feibai on the way out of the palace gate, and didn't dare to say a word.
