Chapter 208: I don't remember
Xiao Lingwei replied to General Yang's words with a smile as she looked inside.
A guard next to him scolded loudly: "Presumptuous, don't go out quickly." ”
Xiao Ling looked at the sound slightly, and saw that the guard's face was full of beard, and he looked very rough. But her eyes were familiar, and she suddenly reached out to pull his beard.
"Big brother."
Wu Sikong grabbed her wrist and made her unable to move.
However, Xiao Lingwei shouted, and the people in the room were surprised.
Old General Yang looked at Wu Sikong's face carefully, and exclaimed, "Ah, it's really Lord Sikong." ”
Wu Sikong wore the clothes of the guards of the Long Wu Army, and his face was covered with a beard, he was still thinking when he saw it, when did His Majesty recruit such a raunchy guard, it turned out to be in disguise.
"Haha."
Suddenly, there was a laugh.
General Yang turned around and pleaded guilty: "The minister's granddaughter is too reckless, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
Your Majesty?
Xiao Ling's eyes widened in shock, at this time, she began to regret breaking in, afraid that the emperor would settle old accounts with her five years ago.
She stepped on Wu Sikong heavily and complained in a low voice: "You didn't say it earlier." ”
Then he knelt down facing the emperor and bowed down respectfully: "The courtiers have seen Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is blessed with longevity and health." ”
Wu Sikong was stepped on by her, and gasped, it was still the little fried cat, and when he saw her extremely deferentially at this time, he couldn't help but feel funny, and the old god was looking at her on the ground to see how she dealt with the emperor.
The emperor's majestic voice sounded: "Raise your head." ”
Xiao Ling hesitated for a long time, and finally raised her head slowly, but her eyes didn't dare to look at the emperor, but looked at the ground.
Although her eyes looked down, the emperor recognized her at a glance.
"Oh, it's Xiao Wu, no, it should be called Miss Xiao Liu."
The emperor's words were ridiculous, but Xiao Lingwei was not easy in her heart, she chose to pretend to be stupid: "Your Majesty is wise, the courtier is the daughter of the Xiao family, ranking sixth." ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Really?" That's not what you told me in the first place. ”
Knowing that he wanted to settle old accounts with her, Xiao Lingwei was sweating behind her back, and her face was innocent: "At the beginning? What was it in the first place? Has Your Majesty ever seen a courtier? ”
The emperor didn't expect her to pretend to have amnesia, and her eyes widened: "Five years ago, you told me that you were ranked fifth, and your family called you Xiaowu."
"You little liar, General Yang is your grandfather, and you actually told me that you didn't know General Yang.
"You deceive me, you are guilty of deceiving the king.
"Someone, pull her out and cut her down."
General Yang didn't know about the matter between Xiao Lingwei and the emperor at the beginning, and when he heard the emperor say that he wanted to cut off Xiao Lingwei's head, he hurriedly pleaded: "Your Majesty, Weiwei is young and ignorant, please forgive Weiwei for the sake of the minister's dedication to the court for many years." ”
The emperor's face sank: "No, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention her little daughters of Hanlin."
"I can't let her go just because she's your granddaughter, or won't everyone follow suit?
"Sikong, drag her out and cut her."
Wu Sikong glanced at the emperor's face, and then walked towards Xiao Lingwei.
"Wait, the courtiers have something to say." Xiao Ling shouted loudly.
Wu Sikong stopped and looked at the emperor.
The emperor's face did not change, and he said lightly: "What else do you have to say?" ”
Xiao Ling put on a dazed and ignorant look and said, "Your Majesty said that the courtiers lied to you five years ago, but the courtiers have no impression of what Your Majesty said.
"In the memory of the courtiers, today is the first time that the courtiers have seen Tianrong, and they have never entered the palace before, nor have they ever seen Your Majesty."
The emperor stared at her face and snorted coldly: "Are you sure you have never entered the palace?" ”
Old General Yang shouted in a low voice: "Weiwei, don't talk nonsense, five years ago, your aunt Xiao Guifei returned to Xiao Mansion to save her relatives, and then took you into the palace." ”
"Really?" Xiao Ling tilted her head slightly, pretending to be seriously reminiscing, and after a while, she said with a bitter face: "I have no impression of what you and Your Majesty said to your grandfather. ”
After a pause, she suddenly sighed: "Alas, maybe I was too young to remember things."
"I don't remember what you said about entering the palace at all.
"If I lost my life for something I don't remember, then I died too unjustly.
"I'm not convinced."
Then the conversation changed: "I heard that Your Majesty is wise and martial, not close to treacherous villains, does not listen to slander, is tolerant and generous, and is the most benevolent."
"I guess I wouldn't have trouble with an ignorant child, would I, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Ling looked at the emperor boldly, the expression on her face was both ignorant and ignorant, innocent and a little awe-inspiring.
General Yang was so frightened that cold sweat came out, and he was busy giving Xiao Ling a slight look, but Xiao Lingwei was looking at the emperor, how could he see his eyes.
So, he had no choice but to plead with the emperor: "Your Majesty, five years ago, Weiwei was only five years old, too young, and it was normal for him not to remember what happened.
"No matter what happened before, please forgive her recklessness and forgive her."
The emperor didn't answer his words, but stared at Xiao Lingwei's face for a long time, and after a short silence, he finally spoke, "Haha, Yang Aiqing, you don't know, your granddaughter was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers at that time, and even I dared to deceive."
"It is worthy of your granddaughter, and she has the blood of the Yang family in her bones."
Hearing this, General Yang knew that Xiao Lingwei's life had been saved, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said to Xiao Lingwei: "Don't thank you yet." ”
Xiao Ling kowtowed slightly: "Thank you Your Majesty for not killing, may Your Majesty live a long life for generations." ”
Nice words, everyone loves to listen to them, especially when Xiao Ling raised her head slightly, there was a bright red mark on her forehead, which was kowtowed, the emperor felt very ironed in his heart, and immediately smiled: "Look, this kid is honest, get up quickly." ”
Xiao Ling stood up slightly and went to help General Yang again.
This scene is in the eyes of the emperor, and the emperor's liking for Xiao Lingwei has increased by another point, whether she really can't remember or pretends to remember, it doesn't matter.
The emperor caught a glimpse of a calligraphy and painting next to him, so he stood up and walked over.
"This pair of longevity characters is quite interesting, look at it carefully, the words are also well written, Yang Aiqing, who made this?"
General Yang replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this is a birthday gift from the minister's granddaughter to the minister." ”
"Oh~" The emperor turned to Xiao Lingwei and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that at such a young age, you have such a deep accomplishment in calligraphy." ”
Xiao Lingwei was humble and respectful: "This is all the teacher's meritorious teaching." ”
and the credit of her mother's frequent use of whips to supervise, thinking of those dark days, Xiao Lingwei's heart couldn't help but shudder.
"Yes, you are clever, it seems that you have lived up to Mr. Pei's teachings, which is very good."
After saying two good things in a row, Xiao Ling was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty praised it falsely." ”
"Let's prepare a birthday gift for me."
