Sometimes, swearing does not prove a person's innocence, because the real bad people will not care about these empty oaths, and they will not be afraid of the so-called damnation. lā

"But good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, and it is not that there is no retribution, but before the time comes, the wicked will always be punished.

"So, as long as you have good intentions, you can do occasional white lies as long as they don't hurt others."

Li Xuan's words were still in his ears, and Xiao Lingwei's oath was easily spoken: "I swear, what I just said is true, if there is a lie, let God punish me for not having food in the future, starving to death on the streets."

"In that case, Your Majesty should believe me, right?"

But I was praying in my heart: the gods forgive the sins, the little girl just doesn't want to affect the family, she doesn't have the intention to lie, don't let the little girl starve to death on the street, give the little girl a bite to eat.

Please, please.

The emperor felt funny in his heart, in the eyes of a little girl, starvation was the greatest punishment.

He couldn't help laughing, pretending to be thinking, and waited for a long time, until he saw Xiao Ling slightly worried before he spoke: "Okay, I believe you." ”

Xiao Ling took the opportunity to say, "Then Your Majesty will return my necklace and silver ticket to me." ”

The emperor wanted to tease her, so he said, "The necklace is ugly, and although the pendant is made of gold, it is only as small as a small fingernail, and it is not worth much."

"Why don't I send you another necklace?

"Children, they should wear a gold lock to look cute."

"Mama Ye, go to the treasury and find out the longevity golden lock made a month ago."

Mama Ye hesitated: "Your Majesty, it is for the unborn third princess." ”

There was a lady in the palace who was seven months pregnant, and the imperial doctor diagnosed that it was a female fetus in the womb, so the emperor asked people to create a pure gold longevity lock for the unborn three princesses.

The emperor waved his hand: "It's okay, I just ask someone to build another one." ”

Mama Ye said yes and went to the warehouse.

Xiao Lingwei said: "Your Majesty, I don't want any golden locks, I just want my own things back." ”

The emperor tempted her: "That golden lock was completed by twenty craftsmen in two months, and the pattern carving is extremely exquisite, and if you see it, you will like it very much."

"And the gold that makes the gold lock is worth much more than your broken necklace, and I will exchange the gold lock for a necklace with you, and you will make a lot of money."

Xiao Ling's expression was slightly shaken, but then she shook her head: "No, I don't want a gold lock, I want my own necklace." ”

"You look at the golden lock before you decide."

The old god of the emperor was sitting on the ground, waiting for Mama Ye to come over.

Soon, Mama Ye came over with a golden lock.

The emperor instructed her, "Take it to the girl and take a good look." ”

So, Mama Ye held the golden lock in front of Xiao Lingwei.

Xiao Lingwei liked the golden lock at first sight, and she picked it up and put it in her hand to look at it carefully.

The royal things are really delicate and beautiful, although my grandfather also gave her a golden lock, but it is far less delicate than this one.

The emperor saw Xiao Ling's slightly loving appearance, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, little guy, see if you can change it.

Who knows, Xiao Lingwei put the golden lock back and stretched out her hand to him: "I don't want the golden lock, I want my own things." ”

The emperor was stunned, he didn't expect that at her young age, she would not be tempted by wealth?

"Go, get her stuff for her."

Gonggong Zhang walked to the side hall, took out the necklace and silver ticket from a box, and gave them back to Xiao Lingwei.

The necklace was lost and recovered, Xiao Ling was very excited, she hurriedly put the necklace around her neck and counted the silver tickets.

The emperor lowered his face: "What's the matter, are you still afraid that I will deduct your silver ticket?" ”

The number is right, Xiao Ling put it into her arms slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty sits in the world, how can you deduct my silver ticket." ”

The emperor snorted: "Since you don't change it, Mama Ye, put away the golden lock." ”

"Yes."

Xiao Ling glanced at the golden lock reluctantly, turned her head back, and couldn't help but look at the golden lock.

The emperor has been observing her expression, and seeing that she obviously likes it very much, and is unwilling to exchange her necklace, it can be seen that the necklace has an unusual meaning in her heart.

It also proves from the side that the necklace is indeed hers, not stolen by her.

"Wait."

Mama Ye had already stepped out of the threshold with one foot, retracted it, and turned to look at the emperor.

"Get the golden lock back."

Mama Ye walked back again.

The emperor took the golden lock and put it on Xiao Lingwei with his own hands: "This golden lock is for you." ”

Xiao Ling slightly held the golden lock on her chest, tilted her head and asked, "Don't you need to change my necklace?" ”

The emperor nodded: "You don't have to exchange anything." ”

Xiao Ling pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, a smile appeared on her face, she hugged the emperor's neck and jumped on top of him: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor was surprised, but he didn't forget to reach out and hug her body to prevent her from falling.

Gonggong Zhang immediately shouted: "Bold, come down quickly, how can Your Majesty's dragon body be touched by you as a pariah?" ”

When Xiao Lingwei heard this, she deliberately rubbed the emperor's face with her face, and then gave Gonggong Zhang a provocative look: How is it? I'll touch it, what can you do with me?

Father-in-law Zhang was shocked and angry, pointing at her speechless.

But the emperor straightened up with her, sat down on the chair, put her on his lap again, and said with a deliberate straight face: "No one has ever dared to jump on me, not even my sons and daughters.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry and cut off your head?"

Xiao Ling tilted her head slightly, and said blankly: "Your Majesty gave me the golden lock, and as soon as I was happy, I revealed my grandfather's style."

"But I want to thank Your Majesty, just as I thank my grandfather, so that I have to cut off my head?"

The emperor smiled: "Since it is a thanks, of course there is no need to cut off the head." ”

"Haha, a golden lock in exchange for a sincere smile, it's worth it."

Speaking of this, the emperor's mood suddenly became low: "I haven't seen such a warm smile for a long time. ”

Xiao Ling slightly remembered what she had seen behind the curtain before, and asked, "Won't Your Majesty's children smile at you?" ”

The Emperor sighed, "Of course they will laugh at me, but their laughter is not pure, and there are too many things mixed in. ”

Xiao Lingwei asked again: "Why did Your Majesty pretend to be sick just now?" Do you want your children to care about you? ”

After asking, he didn't wait for the emperor to answer, and muttered to himself: "Every time I make my mother angry, she starts to pretend to be sick, and then I will obediently admit my mistakes to her."

"I think I'm right, but I don't want to be a girl."

The Emperor touched her head, "No, I just want to find out who poisoned her. ”

Xiao Ling raised her head slightly, her eyes full of doubts: "But they are all your sons, how can they be the ones who poisoned you?"

"My three elder brothers, although they are often beaten by my mother and scolded by my father, but they complain and complain, and they still understand that their father and mother are for their good, so they are also very concerned about their father."

Hearing her words, a trace of envy flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he sighed in a helpless tone: "This is what an emperor should bear." ”

After saying this, the emperor didn't say anything again, just quietly hugged Xiao Lingwei.

Xiao Ling felt his sadness slightly, and no longer asked, her hands hugged his waist, her face was pressed against his chest, and her left hand gently patted his back, comforting the emperor like her grandfather comforted her.

The emperor glanced at her, and his expression unconsciously became kind.

But after a few shots, Xiao Lingwei fell asleep.

Mama Ye whispered: "Your Majesty, the slave maid will take the girl to bed." ”

The emperor didn't answer her words, picked up Xiao Lingwei by himself, walked to the side hall, gently put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt
