Chapter 22: The Feast of the Hung Gate
Chapter 22: The Feast of the Hung Gate
As soon as the emperor returned to the imperial study, he sat on a chair and asked the empty study, "Where has he been?" As soon as the words fell, a man in black fell from the sky, knelt in the center of the study, and said respectfully:
"Today, we have arrived in the capital when we are ugly."
"Oh?" The emperor continued to approve the twists and turns, and he was not affected in the slightest. If Murong Zhi saw this scene, he would first be shocked by the man in black who fell from the sky, obediently, this kung fu ...... Secondly, this emperor is worthy of being the emperor, suddenly many people came out, and they are so calm, amazing, my brother!
"According to the news, King Jue and his others plan to rest outside the city for a day and enter the palace tomorrow."
"It's fun, and I'm not in a hurry to go home when I get to the door." Immediately, the emperor said to the man in black: "Keep an eye on him, and report any changes immediately!" β
"Subordinates obey!" In the blink of an eye, the man in black disappeared, as if he had never been. Tut-tut, it's really a wave of your sleeves and don't take away a cloud!
"Heh, Junju? I hope that after these years, you can settle down a little ......" Liwang sneered.
An hour laterβ
"Li Sheng, go and see if the three princes of Yue have a meal. If there is, I am a little hungry too. "As soon as the emperor finished approving the recital, he thought of the trouble in Yueguo.
"Yes, the minion will go." As a senior old eunuch in the palace, Gonggong Li naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to ask Ling Mochen if he had eaten, of course he was going to invite the third prince into the palace!
In the palace, as soon as Ling Mochen heard that it was an invitation from the emperor, he made clear the purpose of the invitation from the emperor. It seems that if you don't go, you have to go! Ling Mochen didn't ask anything, just asked Gonggong Li to wait for a while, and then followed him into the palace.
On the way to the palace, Gonggong Li rejoiced: Fortunately, this is a good-natured master, otherwise it would have to take a lot of effort. If Murong Zhi heard this, he would have to "sit up in shock in his dying illness", and pull Father-in-law Li to hate iron and steel: Father-in-law, how blind you are! Bian Que can't save you even if he's alive. Well, that's an afterword.
After entering the palace, Ling Mochen came to the side hall and saw the emperor sitting on the main seat, and was about to salute-
"Hey, the nephew doesn't have to be polite, come and sit down." The Emperor smiled at Ling Mochen. After Ling Mochen sat down, the emperor said to Li Gong: "Li Sheng, since the third prince has arrived, let's go and pass the meal." β
As soon as Ling Mochen heard the word "nephew", this inexplicable kindness made him know that today's meal was a Hongmen banquet. After the meal came up, the emperor kept serving dishes to the so-called "nephew", like a good uncle who cared about his nephew wholeheartedly.
"Nephew, I wonder if this meal away from the country is satisfactory?" Emperor Li looked at Ling Mochen and asked with concern.
"Very good. Thank you for your kindness. Ling Mochen smiled politely.
"Hey, the emperor has seen a lot of outsiders, there are no outsiders now, you can just call me Uncle I."
"Then, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
"Come on, come on, eat more, you're too thin."
"Thank you for your concern, but if I get fat, after I go back, my father will suspect that I am playing in your country." Ling Mochen smiled lightly.
"I see that you are afraid that after eating fat, you are not as handsome as you are now, your sweetheart is going to dislike you, haha!" The Emperor smiled heartily.
"The emperor laughed." Sure enough, the meal wasn't that simple. "Where does this king have any sweetheart?"
"However, when you first arrived in the capital, there were many women who fell in love with you at first sight." Emperor Li smiled at Ling Mochen.
"The emperor is making fun of this king again." Ling Mochen pursed his thin lips.
"By the way, nephew, I have always been curious, there are thousands of beauties in the world, why do you want to marry the eldest lady of the General's Mansion who has never met?"
"Naturally, it's because of General Zhenguo." As soon as Li Wang heard Murong Jin's name, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and he happened to be seen by Ling Mochen, so he continued: "General Zhenguo is a hero known to the world, so his daughter is naturally one in a thousand. β
When the emperor heard Murong Jin in Ling Mochen's mouth, he was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, but he still had to maintain his generosity as the king of a country: "If you can win the favor of the three princes, that girl is also lucky, but ......" The emperor wanted to speak and stopped, Ling Mochen naturally knew what the emperor didn't say.
Ling Mochen wiped his mouth and looked at the Emperor Lihuang lightly: "But Miss Murong doesn't want to?" Emperor Lihuang frowned, nodded in embarrassment, and was about to say something more, but Ling Mochen took the lead-
"The emperor doesn't have to worry, if this king is still unwilling to return to China before Miss Murong returns, this king will let it be disposed of, okay?" Ling Mochen said firmly.
