206 Framed
That night, I don't know when the lights in Ling Yuheng's house went out, anyway, the next morning, he went to the Hanlin Courtyard again in good spirits and refreshed.
He is now just a five-grade waiter, sharing a room with five other colleagues to work, the furnishings are not much different from those in the school, the six cases are neatly placed, each person has one according to one, but the case is much higher than the one in the school, so the back of the table is not a brocade mat, but a rose chair, they don't need to kneel like the students.
Ling Yuheng walked all the way, met a higher level than himself to avoid the side of the road and bowed, met a person of the same level or lower than his own level, smiled, and stayed in his office, he habitually glanced at the leak on the windowsill first, no more, no less, there was still half a pillar of incense left before the time of Chen.
He took advantage of the time of this half pillar of incense to quickly look at the case that the scribe had already sent, quickly classify it, distinguish the priorities, and rearrange it.
When the hour came, he started the office on time, he saw that these official documents have always been unhurried, busy and prone to mistakes, he has enough time to finish, so there is no need to worry.
Only today he read it a little fast, he wanted to go to the library to see if there were any books about the harp after reading it, Qin Niang was just a geisha, she could teach him limited, he naturally couldn't rely on her for everything.
He was racing against time to read the official document, when he heard the sound of tuk tuk knocking around him, he raised his head, but it was Hai Chengzhi.
"The emperor has summoned you to go to the imperial study."
Ling Yuheng was slightly stunned, Emperor Yanxi was very diligent, when he didn't have an early dynasty, he was either criticizing or summoning the old ministers to discuss national affairs in the morning, and he was summoned to talk mostly in the afternoon, why did he summon him in the morning today?
Ling Yuheng closed the official document, carefully placed it, and asked, "Why is it the letter you came to deliver?" β
Hai Chengzhi is a messenger in the same department as him, and he entered the Hanlin Academy with him, although it is not like him who has been promoted to two levels in just two years, so it is not his turn to do such errands and communication.
"I happened to have something to look for you, so they asked me to come and talk to you."
Ling Yuheng simply cleaned up and stood up, "What's the matter?" β
"Oh, I heard that Miss Lin Qi is back, but she didn't listen to Master Cen's class last time, I want you to help me ask why she didn't go. If she is slacking off and wants to give up halfway, please be sure to admonish her."
Ling Yuheng squinted at him, "You are too wide."
Hai Chengzhi said seriously, "It's not that I'm in charge of being wide, it's really that Miss Lin Qi is both talented and very diligent, she made very rapid progress that day, you and I are obvious to all, it's a pity to give up halfway."
Ling Yuheng couldn't help but smile when he saw his frank and serious expression, "Brother Hai, do you think that if Jiaojiao'er really has a slack heart, she will go to bed early and get up late from now on, enjoy the flowers and flutter butterflies, do you think I will bear to persuade her to devote herself to learning?" β
Hai Chengzhi, "......"
Hai Chengzhi choked, "Forget it, when I meet her, I'll talk to her myself."
Ling Yuheng didn't say much, only smiled, and sped up his steps towards the palace.
He was often summoned by Emperor Yanxi recently, and he went all the way to the outside of the imperial study, and when he got closer, he found that Xu Shen was personally guarding the door.
His heart suddenly burst and he was about to retreat, but it was too late, Xu Shen had already seen him, and raised his voice slightly and asked, "How did Lord Ling get here?" β
Ling Yuheng had no choice but to take a few more steps forward and bow down.
A raised female voice in the imperial study rang out angrily, "You still trust that Ling Yuheng!" β
It is Chen Gugu, the eldest princess of Fengguo.
Emperor Yanxi's voice sounded in a deep voice, "Get in!" β
Where else does Ling Yuheng not understand at this time, someone must have seized this opportunity and deceived him here with a false holy decree, hitting the tip of the spear of Emperor Yanxi and Chen Gugu, if he is not careful, he will never be able to turn over!
All kinds of thoughts rolled in his mind, but he didn't dare to stop for a moment, walked into the imperial study quickly, knelt down and saluted, "The minister knocks to see the emperor, the eldest princess of Fengguo."
"What are you doing here?"
Listening closer, the anger and displeasure in Emperor Yanxi's words became more obvious, Ling Yuheng's mind turned sharply, if he told the truth, the best result would be that Emperor Yanxi believed him and found out the real murderer, his image in Emperor Yanxi's heart was also ruined, and he would always bear the name of a fool who was deceived by someone with a word, and in the process of Emperor Yanxi catching the real murderer, innocent colleagues would definitely be involved, and even his superiors were very likely to be scolded by Emperor Yanxi because of poor management, and even false transmission of holy decrees.
Shangfeng and his colleagues naturally didn't blame Emperor Yanxi for scolding them wrong, they would only be angry with him, his career had just begun, how could he be ruined because of such a trivial matter!
Ling Yuheng exhaled deeply, his forehead touched the ground, and he slammed his head, "The emperor forgives the sin, and the minister is here to ask the emperor to give the minister a marriage and ask the emperor for his grace."
As soon as his words fell, Chen Gugu jumped up, pointed at him and jumped to his feet, "You dare!" You dare to ask Uncle Huang to marry you and Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao won't marry you villain! β
Ling Yuheng straightened his waist and looked at Chen Gugu solemnly, "The eldest princess said that the minister is a villain?" How so? Is there any evidence? β
Chen Gugu choked and stomped his feet hatefully, "Your mother and your sister are villains, you must not be much better!" β
Ling Yuheng smiled slowly, as if the elders looked at the unreasonable juniors, tolerant, with a touch of pampering and helplessness, Chen Gugu was laughed by him and jumped to his feet, he was speechless at all, only shouted vigorously, "You dare!" β
Ling Yuheng no longer dwelled on this topic, and instead asked, "How does the eldest princess know that Jiaojiao'er doesn't want to marry me?" β
"Of course she doesn't want to marry you!"
Ling Yuheng smiled again, "Does the eldest princess think that I will disregard Jiaojiao'er's wishes and ask the emperor to give her a marriage, so as to force her to marry me?" β
"You'reβ"
Chen Gugu abruptly stopped her voice and glared at Ling Yuheng angrily, she had never liked him, but she had no way to say with her conscience that Ling Yuheng would force Lin Jiaojiao, just like she had no way to say that he was a villain with her conscience.
Ling Yuheng smiled at her again, and turned to look at Emperor Yanxi, "Ask the emperor for permission."
Chen Gugu blew up again, "Don't allow it!" I don't! β
Emperor Yanxi was having a headache, and after listening to it, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, as long as Phoenix doesn't let go of this matter, Uncle Huang will definitely not be gracious, okay?" β
Chen Gugu snorted at Ling Yuheng with a slight smugness, then turned his head and bared his teeth at Emperor Yanxi again, "Don't you want to fool me like this!" Ashur didn't make a mistake, you release Asshu immediately! β
Emperor Yanxi was about to speak, when the corner of his eye suddenly swept to Ling Yuheng, and immediately said, "What does Aiqing think?" β
This transferred Chen Gugu's anger to himself.
Ling Yuheng smiled slightly, "Eldest princess, the prince has thought about it behind closed doors by holy order, the time has not yet come, even if the eldest princess intercedes for the prince, Your Majesty will approve it, and the prince will know the courtesy, she will definitely refuse."
Chen Gugu sneered, obviously not believing his words at all.
Ling Yuheng said with a smile, "If the eldest princess doesn't believe it, it's better to go to the East Palace with Weichen and ask the prince in person."
