Chapter 47: Face Saint

The road to the capital is far away, in fact, it is not too far, and the territory of Qi is not the largest among the six countries, from one end to the other, if you go quickly, you can walk for two months, and ride a horse for a month.

We took a carriage from Ning'an County to the capital, even if we walked slowly, it only took more than half a month to arrive. That's right, the location of the capital is not in the center of the Qi Kingdom, but a little south.

As we walked along the way, King Ryan would introduce me to the nearby landscapes, their names, and their origins. Or say what are the characteristics of the towns you pass by, and whether the people live in peace. I also moved out what I saw in the book, and it corresponded to what King Ryan said, and what the two of them said was almost the same, and it seemed that they were not wrong. In other words, the books I have read, Ryan Wang has also read.

King Ryan looked at me in surprise and said, "I thought you were just reading some poetry and songs, after all, girls like this." But I didn't expect you to read the local chronicles so deeply, and you can actually say it easily, and it is not bad at all. ”

I was embarrassed and said: "There are only a few books in the Lu Mansion, except for the few books that my father often reads that I don't like, the rest of the books, I can finish everything in two months, there is really nothing to say." ”

King Ryan saw that I was a little unsatisfied, so he said, "When you get to the capital, I will help you collect a few good books so that you can read enough." ”

I believe that there must be no less than dozens or hundreds of books that King Ryan said, and even all the books he can find may be brought back for me.

I was really afraid that he would move back without screening, so I hurriedly said: "No need, no need, what books I want to read, I will buy them one by one when the time comes, and I don't need to deliberately collect them." ”

There were no twists and turns on the road, and we arrived in the capital smoothly, and even I felt a little incredible. And the two of them talked and laughed, got along very well, and even the more than half a month felt that the time passed quickly, and before they could see enough of the scenery on the road, they arrived in the capital. When we arrived at the city gate, we all felt a little regretful, if the distance was a little farther and the time was a little slower, we could enjoy this time more.

Because King Ruian won a great victory in Zezhou, His Majesty sent a hundred officials to greet him at the gate of the city.

As Princess Ryan, I also accompanied King Ryan to get off the bus.

After King Ryan stabilized me, he pointed to a few big characters on the city gate and said, "This is Linyang City, the capital of Qi State." Even if you've been here before, you may not remember it, but it doesn't matter, we have spent a lot of time in the capital, and you can slowly learn about it. ”

The writing on the gate was so beautiful that if it hadn't been for King Ryan telling me, I would have to look at it for a long time to recognize what it was. Even I have to recognize it for a long time, and those who are not as good as me, and even those who can't read a single word, won't it be more difficult to read it? Isn't that embarrassing?

I lost interest in this Linyang City all of a sudden, and said, "The officials are still waiting here, let's hurry up and enter the city, don't let them get tired." ”

"Okay, let's go into town."

The emperor had an order that no matter how late we entered the city, we would enter the palace to face the saints, so as soon as we entered the city, we went straight to the palace.

In the palace, the emperor has prepared a feast for us.

The emperor sat high on the dragon chair and said high-sounding words for us, King Ryan's military exploits were something that the emperor never expected, although the emperor was very reluctant, but he had to celebrate for King Ryan.

We also didn't expect that Nanchu's army was defeated after only one round, and it seemed very unserious, maybe they didn't really want to fight us to the end with great fanfare. So after seeing the manager's tragic death, they gave up. I don't know if they thought that Yue Baiyu would surrender to us? After losing Yue Baiyu, would they regret it?

After a lot of rambling words, King Ryan cooperated with a few words, and finally it was time to have a banquet.

I always keep my head down, the rules are not allowed to look directly at the holy face, and I don't plan to face the emperor directly, until I heard that there can be a banquet, I breathed a sigh of relief, the face of the saint is really a very hard thing, if I want to face the saint often in the capital in the future, I would rather pretend to be sick, or just find an excuse to escape from the capital, I don't want to suffer this crime often.

However, I blindly hid myself, but did not achieve the desired effect, the emperor did not intend to let me go, seeing that I had not spoken, he took the initiative to ask: "I heard that Princess Ruian and King Ruian have a deep relationship with each other, and when I heard that King Ruian was going to the battlefield, the princess even ignored her own body and followed her to the battlefield, which is really admirable, and even more sighs Princess, it is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows!" ”

Can you praise me in another word? Every day, women are tired of listening to it.

I smiled and said, "It's the concubine who doesn't understand the rules and behaves recklessly, but fortunately she didn't cause trouble to the prince, which is really a blessing in misfortune." ”

"I don't know what the scene on the battlefield is, did it scare the princess?" The Emperor continued.

I didn't know how to answer, so I subconsciously glanced at King Ruian, who gave me a comforting look and said in a low voice: "To tell the truth, the emperor knows everything, don't hide it, it will be self-defeating." ”

I calmed down a little and said to the emperor, "It's just that there are a little more people, it's not a big deal." ”

See what else you have to say! I don't want you to do it!

But the emperor is the emperor in the end, after so many years of forbearance, disguise and planning, how could he lose his temper because of my words?

"Princess Ryan really lives up to her reputation, she is really funny to talk about, very different from those vulgar women who just dress up all day long, and it really impresses me." The Emperor said.

I glanced at the empress sitting next to the emperor, because of my presence, the court could not receive me without a female dependent, so the empress had to attend. However, she was the only female family member present, and the family members of other ministers were not qualified to attend.

When the queen heard the emperor's words, her face was displeased for a moment, but it was fleeting, and her expression was very inconspicuous, if I hadn't paid attention to it, I was afraid that I wouldn't have seen this scene.

"Your Majesty said such things, aren't you afraid that the queen mother, the harem concubines, and the ministers' wives will be unhappy? And I don't really care if His Majesty is impressed with me. ”

"Ying'er, in front of Your Majesty, you want to call yourself a concubine." Ryan reminded me.

I sighed and said apologetically: "The concubine lost her words, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
