Chapter 8 Northern Qi Asks for Marriage
In this way, Lu Fuling and Ya Xiang nested in Zhong Lingyuan for three months. In the past three months, Lu Fuling read books and practiced calligraphy every day, tasted the snacks made by Yaxiang when she was free, and counted the account books of Jinxiuzhuang sent to the palace by Uncle Duan when she was in a bad mood, and she lived a very comfortable life. Occasionally, when I think of the little emperor and the ups and downs of more than a year, I feel like a world away.
Until, three months later, that night, an uninvited guest broke in.
Without alarming Yaxiang, the black shadow fell lightly in front of the bed in the inner room, carrying a little cold. And Lu Lingling didn't sleep well, and woke up at the slightest movement, so the two looked at each other unexpectedly.
Lu Fuling, who was still a little confused, said slowly: "Your Majesty's late night visit shouldn't it be just to be scary, right?" Seeing him bounce away, Lu Fuling came to her senses. At first, I was nervous for a moment because I hadn't put on makeup, and then I suddenly relaxed. She put on her clothes and sat up, looked at the little emperor sitting on the edge of the bed, and was very puzzled: "What's wrong with Your Majesty today?" ”
The little emperor frowned, as if he was worried, and for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he sighed and said thoughtlessly, "I will never abandon you!" Then he turned and jumped out of the window.
Ya Xiang, who was sleeping in the warm pavilion outside, was awakened by this movement, and ran in only to see the open window and Lu Lingling in a daze, "Girl? ”
"Yaxiang, you go and inquire tomorrow if something has happened recently." Lu Fuling's eyes repeatedly appeared in front of the little emperor's expression just now, and her heart was faintly uneasy.
The news that Yaxiang brought back the next day confirmed her uneasiness.
In these three months, the little emperor purged the dynasty, strictly governed the officials, and achieved great results. She smiled, he was a statecraftman, and his original appearance was just a disguise to paralyze the enemy. That's right, disguise...... I thought it would take him four or five years to regain what he wanted, but it was only a little more than a year, and the harem of the former dynasty already had such an atmosphere.
A few days ago, there was an urgent report in the army that the Northern Qi crossed the border to attack. The iron cavalry army has passed Banyan City, and it will break through the acropolis in a few days and go straight to the Beijing Division. However, the strange thing is that the Northern Qi people actually stationed in Rongcheng and did not advance, and sent an envoy to sue for peace, expressing their willingness to return to the border, but the only request was her.
The new king of the Northern Qi Dynasty, on the condition of marrying a noble concubine, promised a hundred years of peace on the border.
Because of this, he visited Zhong Lingyuan at night.
"Girl, the little emperor said that he would never abandon you, do you mean to refuse peace talks?" Ya Xiang clarified the ins and outs, with a sad face, "The girl's situation is already dire, so I'm afraid it's even more ......."
Lu Fuling frowned, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the paper of the ledger: "Who is this King of Northern Qi?" ”
"There are rumors in the palace about this matter, but they can't be true. This king of Northern Qi is very low-key, he only knows that he has only ascended to the throne in the past two years, and this personal expedition to the south should be the most outrageous thing he has done. Yaxiang shook her head, also puzzled.
"What time is it?" Lu Lingling threw away the account book and got up to tidy up her clothes, "Yaxiang, go to Chengtian Palace." ”
When the two arrived at the Chengtian Palace, the main hall was not finished, Yaxiang was waiting outside the side door, and Lu Fuling entered the warm pavilion behind the palace alone. The eunuch on duty served a cup of tea and withdrew. She was able to listen quietly to the sound of the main hall. Sure enough, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China were peaceful, and they counted the necessity and benefits of harmony. She was half cold, and lowered her head to drink tea with a wry smile.
Half an hour later, he went down in a rage, and when he rushed into the warm pavilion, he saw her. I was about to turn my head and scold the eunuch on duty, but I remembered that the permission for her to enter and leave the main hall at any time to observe the deliberations was given by herself, so she could only give up.
"The ministers of the DPRK and the central government, there are many lords and peacemakers." He sat down and relaxed his shoulders as he watched as she took the tea from Grandpa Wei's hand and brought it to him. But he didn't answer, "But you don't joke." I've made up my mind. It's a big deal. You are not allowed to betray me at this time. ”
