299 Flash marriage
Although Ling Jiantong and Situ Qianchen's initial plan was to let Ling Jiantong play the role of Diao Chan by herself, but in the face of this sudden meeting, it was difficult for Ling Jiantong to control her emotions.
Ling Jiantong couldn't pull off this face, so she could only look at Mu Luo so awkwardly.
"What's your name?"
"Green Whisk."
Mu Luo repeated her name a few times, and then the corners of her mouth curled: "It's a good name, and it's ......" Mu Luo's hand moved from his chin to his cheek irregularly: "It's also pretty good-looking." β
If it were another woman, it would be joyful to be teased like this by the emperor, and I couldn't ask for it, but for Ling Jiantong, Mu Luo's touch was like touching a thorny cactus, and Ling Jiantong almost subconsciously screamed and jumped up.
Before Mu Luo could say anything, the eunuch beside him pointed at Ling Jiantong's nose and said angrily: "Bold maid, what kind of system is this shock!" Scare our master again. β
Mu Luo raised his hand to signal that he was out of the way, and then stared at the frightened Ling Jiantong with interest, and that look was clearly telling Ling Jiantong, I have taken a fancy to you.
Just when Ling Jiantong didn't know what to do, fortunately Zhang Meng arrived in time.
Zhang Meng stood in front of Ling Jiantong's body, completely blocking Mu Luo's gaze: "Your Majesty." β
Mu Luo's eyes fell on the respectful Zhang Meng, the courtiers saluted, Mu Luo stretched out his hand to signal that he did not need to be formal, and then said: "I came today just to see your father, after all, the general of the auxiliary country has worked hard for the Tianyuan country all his life, and he has worked very hard to protect his family and defend the country, I just want to see if his illness is better." β
Zhang Meng was not childlike at all in front of Mu Luo, but became much more rigorous and calm: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, my father is already much better." β
Mu Luo nodded, but he didn't mean to leave, he turned around and sat on the brocade couch: "I heard that a new batch of tea has been purchased in the Fuguo Mansion, which is very delicious, I wonder if I am lucky enough to be able to taste a cup?" β
Zhang Meng lowered his head and was about to order the housekeeper to serve tea, but he didn't expect Mu Luo to raise his hand and say, "No need" His gaze wandered to Ling Jiantong behind Zhang Meng, and he pointed with his hand: "Let her make me a cup of tea." β
Zhang Meng glanced sideways at Ling Jiantong, and replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, she is not a maid and maid in my house, but a friend of the minister, if the emperor wants to drink, the minister himself will go and make a cup." β
"No, I just want to drink the tea made by this girl."
The Son of Heaven said a word, who would dare not obey?
Ling Jiantong's eyes signaled that Zhang Meng was fine, and then bowed to Mu Luo, and followed the housekeeper down.
It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, although Zhang Meng now has half of the troops of the Tianyuan Kingdom in his hands, but the monarch and the minister are different, and he still has to be careful when he speaks.
"General Zhang Meng, don't stand, sit down and wait for new tea with me."
"Yes."
"Zhang Meng, I remember that you never took a girl back to your house before? How can you ...... today?"
Zhang Meng could see that Mu Luo seemed to have a little meaning for Ling Jiantong, his eyes were slightly dim, and he got up and arched his hand: "Until now, the minister doesn't want to hide the emperor, the girl just now is actually the minister's fiancΓ©e, I brought her here today to let her meet her father."
Mu Luo said "oh", his face was a little unhappy, but he regained his calm in an instant: "I have almost seen the daughter of a dignitary's family, why haven't I seen this green breeze girl, I don't know which family she is?" β
Zhang Meng pondered for a moment before he spoke: "The green breeze girl is not from a noble family. β
Mu Luo leaned back, a little embarrassed: "It turned out to be a girl from a small family, Zhang Meng, didn't I say you, this is a bit of a bad family, right?" I'm afraid the auxiliary generals won't agree. β
Zhang Meng understood that at this time, he had to take a firm stand and show his mentality, otherwise he would be giving Mu Luo a loophole.
"Zhang Meng and Miss Green Whisk are in love, even if my father is against it, I want to marry Miss Green Whisk."
Zhang Meng's attitude was resolute, which made Mu Luo a little difficult.
As she spoke, Ling Jiantong had already walked up with tea, according to the rules, she should pour tea for Mu Luo first, Ling Jiantong kept her head down, she didn't dare to look directly at Mu Luo's burning gaze, she held the teapot and poured the freshly brewed tea into the teacup in front of Mu Luo.
The lower Ling Jiantong's face was buried, the more Mu Luo wanted to see it.
This is a good thing, the tea spilled out, wetting Mu Luo's clothes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ling Jiantong hurriedly put down the teapot and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for Mu Luo, but Mu Luo grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to seal you as a female official and enter the palace to serve me in my daily life, but now it seems that there is no need for it." β
Ling Jiantong hurriedly withdrew his hand from Mu Luo's palm, and then knelt on the ground: "The slave should be damned, the slave is clumsy, and she is not worthy of entering the palace to serve the emperor." β
The eunuch continued to wipe the corners of Mu Luo's clothes, but Mu Luo didn't pay attention to it at all, still picked up the teacup and took a sip, it was really good tea, and after drinking it, his lips and teeth were fragrant.
Mu Luo lowered his eyes and looked at Ling Jiantong, who was still kneeling on the ground, and reached out to help her up: "Don't be nervous, am I so terrible?" β
When this sentence was asked, Ling Jiantong nodded, not shook his head, let alone not.
"General Zhang Meng told me just now, since you are in love, then after I return to the palace, I might as well make a holy decree and give you a marriage?"
Ling Jiantong was stunned, she looked back at Zhang Meng, when was this happening, why didn't she discuss it with herself......
Zhang Meng didn't want to show his stuffing, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ling Jiantong to salute and thank him.
Mu Luo took one last look at Ling Jiantong, who was still a little stunned, and the corners of his lips hooked up with a smile that seemed to be nothing, and left.
After Mu Luo left, the string in Zhang Meng's heart was finally loosened.
"General, we ......"
"I'm sorry, Miss Greenbree, I'm also anxious, I want to protect you so much, that's why I said that we want to get married, you see...... Anyway, we are happy with each other, and it is a matter of time before we get married, so there is no difference between one day earlier and one day later, right? β
What does it make no difference?!
The difference is heavens and greater!
Ling Jiantong just wanted to be Diao Chan, but she didn't want to marry any of them!
Ling Jiantong tried to calm his mood, and persuaded as kindly as possible: "General, although we both like each other, but I think, I'm afraid it's a bit early to get married, we've only met twice so far, we haven't understood each other thoroughly, we just have a good impression of each other, this is related to getting married, isn't it too hasty?" β
Ling Jiantong said this to make Zhang Meng change his mind, but he didn't expect Zhang Meng to immediately hold Ling Jiantong's hands, and his eyes were even more affectionate: "Green Whisk girl, you have to believe me, although I am a rough person, but for such a big thing as getting married, I still think about it very carefully, Green Whisk girl, I really like you, and I really want to live with you for the rest of my life, Green Whisk girl, you can marry me." β
I'll go!
Ling Jiantong gasped, could it be that flash marriage was also played in ancient times?
Seeing that Zhang Meng was about to kneel down on one knee to propose, Ling Jiantong immediately shouted to stop.
"That...... Getting married is a big deal, I think, I'd better go back and think about it, that, General Zhang Meng, you don't have to send me, I'll just go back myself. β
Ling Jiantong was afraid that Zhang Meng would keep him, so he simply smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran faster than a rabbit.
Zhang Meng stood in the hall, looking at Ling Jiantong's panicked back, and couldn't help but smile secretly, in fact, she was quite cute.
"Come out, when are you going to watch the play?" Zhang Meng put away the set just now, sat on the chair, and saw Hua Yue walk out from behind the screen.
"How? My acting skills are okay, right? Zhang Meng raised his eyebrows triumphantly.
Hua Yue didn't want to express any opinions, when he heard Zhang Meng's confession just now, he almost couldn't help but spit it out, such old-fashioned love words, no wonder he couldn't find his daughter-in-law until now, and he was still single.
"Actually, I can play a little better, but your wife is so cute, I can't be ruthless, I'm afraid you will be jealous."
Hua Yue lowered her eyes and smiled, took a sip of tea.
It's part of his plan.
Hua Yue has already united Zhang Meng, Zhang Meng has long been dissatisfied with Mu Luo, when Mu Zhan was alive before, Tianyuan Country was still peaceful under his rule, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, a scene, but since the country changed hands and became Mu Luo, wars broke out, taxes increased, and this emperor knew that he was eating, drinking, and having fun, and he was negligent in managing the government, if Tianyuan Country was ruled by him again, I was afraid that sooner or later there would be a day when the country would die, and the Fuguo Mansion was loyal to the Mu family, but it was not stupid and loyal. So when Hua Yue confessed his true identity, Zhang Meng immediately stood on Hua Yue's side, and he believed that according to Hua Yue's talent, he would definitely be able to govern the Tianyuan Kingdom better.
But the biggest problem in front of them now is not Mu Luo, but Situ Qianchen.
Situ Qianchen's ambition has swelled to the point where he wants to be the emperor himself, and in order to keep the Mu family's country, Zhang Meng can only choose to join forces with Hua Yue.
Since Situ Qianchen wants to let Mu Luo and Zhang Meng tear their faces through Ling Cut's pupils, then they might as well make a plan and follow Situ Qianchen's wishes, and when the time is ripe, Zhang Meng will rebel again, support Hua Yue, and kill Situ Qianchen, then it will be done.
But before that, he really wronged Ling Jiantong.
"Hua Yue, when will we do it, I have long seen that Situ Qianchen is not pleasing to the eye, relying on his own handle of Mu Luo, he yelled at me, I have long wanted to kill him with my own hands."
Hua Yue knew that Zhang Meng was an urgent person, but this matter was in a hurry, and she had to wait for an opportunity.
"Let's wait patiently, and when Mu Luo makes a move, or Situ Qianchen makes a move, we will have a chance to reap the benefits of the fisherman."
