On the Golden Luang Palace.

The civil and military officials were separated on both sides, but because of Ling Dongwu's low rank, he could only rank last. The third prince, Xia Wenxuan, stood at the front, glanced at Ling Dongwu from a distance, and couldn't come forward to say hello.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, glanced at the ministers, and his eyes fell on Ling Dongwu in military uniform, this was the first time that Ling Dongwu went to court with a high standard, and it was also the first time that the emperor looked at Ling Dongwu carefully.

The emperor froze and flipped over the folds in his hand, "Mu Zicheng, Ling Dongwu, you are all good, the pillars of the country!" Huaiyang City defeated the Northern Desert Army one after another, and the Northern Desert Country was forced to negotiate peace. ”

"Relying on the concerted efforts of the soldiers, especially the merits of those comrades who sacrificed heroically, the ministers really dare not take credit." Mu Zicheng said modestly.

The emperor turned to the side of the household servant and asked, "What level is Mu Zicheng's merit?" ”

"Accumulate to eighteen levels."

"How should I be rewarded according to merit?"

"It should be from the third grade."

Among the generals of the Nanzhao Kingdom, Sanpin is already a high-ranking official, and many generals can not get this official title in their lifetimes, everyone is very envious when they hear it, and the emperor rewarded Mu Zicheng with 1,000 taels of silver, and gave him armor, gold belts, bows and arrows, war horses, etc., and his subordinates Jiao Hongliang and others were all rewarded and promoted.

Mu Zicheng knelt down and thanked him.

"Ling Dongwu, you have defeated the Northern Desert army three times in Dahuangshan, which has greatly improved the morale of our army, come forward and listen to the seal!"

Ling Dongwu took a step forward happily, and the emperor made her a six-rank official, and also gave her some gold, silver and jewelry.

Retreat.

As soon as they came out of the hall, some officials came to greet Mu Zicheng and Ling Dongwu, but Song Cheng was a big member of the department, but there were few people who greeted him, and he went with Song Cheng.

Mu Zicheng and Ling Dongwu knew that because on the way to evacuate Hengyang City, Mu Zicheng taught Song Chengxiang's soldiers a hard lesson, making Song Cheng hold a grudge against the two of them, and they were extremely close to the third prince Xia Wenxuan, and they were from the faction of the three princes, so they were squeezed by Song Chengxiang's faction.

The two of them didn't care about this, and when they saw the early winter sky outside the palace gate, clear and cloudless, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

The two walked through the bustling area of Qingzhou City, walked through the streets and alleys, and returned to the temporary residence given to them by the emperor. Although the temporary mansion is not luxurious, it is also spacious and magnificent, and when the two returned to the mansion not long ago, the doorman reported that the third prince Xia Wenxuan wanted Ling Dong to dance through the mansion.

Mu Zicheng was a little nervous when he heard this, remembering that Xia Wenxuan wanted to take Ling Dongwu as a concubine in the past, he couldn't help but grab Ling Dongwu's hand tightly, and said in a low voice: "Dong'er, you have to be more careful, I'm worried about the third prince's ......"

"Don't worry, I've explicitly rejected him before. If he brings it up again today, I will refuse. ”

Mu Zicheng was still worried in his heart, and said, "Dong'er, it's better for me to go with you, I'll wait outside, if he wants to force you to ......"

Ling Dongwu sneered: "Fool, he is a dignified prince, so he won't force me in any way." ”

"Dong'er, I'm just scared. Let's prepare for it in the next few days, and I'll marry you right away, okay? ”

Ling Dongwu's face turned crimson, is this his marriage proposal, knowing that Mu Zicheng is worried about having a long night and dreams, so he wants to get married immediately. She nodded and said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Mu Zicheng looked at her supple appearance in his eyes, but felt that if he married a wife like this in this life, he would have no regrets for the rest of his life. He couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her on the face, and as soon as his lips touched her smooth forehead, he couldn't help but go down and stick to her soft lips.

Once the kiss was met, that wonderful taste made him want to stop, desperate to get more, the kiss was like a storm, not giving her the slightest chance to breathe, she couldn't help but cooperate, the momentum was like a bamboo, and finally the wind and rain stopped, Ling Dongwu was able to take a breath of air, his hands supported his chest and panted slightly, Mu Zicheng pulled her hands away and kissed her again before she could shout. After repeating it several times, Ling Dongwu's lips were already red and swollen. He finally rested her head on his neck socket with satisfaction, and said, "Dong'er, I'll go with you, and I'll go tell the third prince that we are going to get married." Only when we are married can we truly be together and never separate. ”

Ling Dongwu snuggled in his arms, and somehow, more and more like to let him hold him like this, like it so intimately, like his touch, like his kisses...... She raised her head, looked at his affectionate eyes, and said softly: "Brother Zicheng, the third prince has a life-saving grace for us no matter what, I don't want to embarrass him too much, so I'll go tell him myself!" ”

Mu Zicheng said softly: "It's okay, I'm just afraid that you will be embarrassed." ”

"No, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Ling Dongwu only took two people to the mansion of the three princes, and the three princes had been named the general of Zhenguo and the prince of Xuan at this time.

The plaque on the gate reads "Town King's Mansion", the inside and outside of the house have been renovated, and the furniture in the main courtyard is all new. Ling Dongwu was welcomed into the hall by the housekeeper, she looked at the furnishings in the house, all of them were high-quality rosewood, and secretly thought in her heart, when Xia Wenxuan was not in Texas at this time, the third prince who was in great distress and needed his own funding.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Xia Wenxuan wearing a red and yellow robe, Sven's handsome back hand looked at her with a smile, Ling Dongwu felt the fragrance of osmanthus on the tip of her nose, she looked around, and did not see that there was a kind of osmanthus tree here, and now it has entered winter, even if it is located in the south, the osmanthus is also grateful. However, she felt that the fragrance was getting stronger and stronger, Xia Wenxuan saw her like this, smiled slightly, put the hand behind her back, and stretched out her hand in front of Ling Dongwu, it turned out to be a paper bag, and the fragrance of osmanthus emanated from here, Ling Dongwu didn't wait to open it to know what was inside, osmanthus cake.

"For you, I know that you love to eat, and the palace made some, and the king will bring it to you by the way, but it's a pity that it's a little less!"

Ling Dongwu knew that now that the war was in chaos, it was not easy to eat the newly made osmanthus cake. I didn't expect that after so many ups and downs, he could still remember his little hobby, and he was moved in his heart and reached out to take the osmanthus cake.

"Dongwu, your use of soldiers in Dahuangshan is like a god, it really surprises this king!" Xia Wenxuan looked at Ling Dongwu with appreciative eyes, and Ling Dongwu's heart was excited, I don't know why, when Xia Wenxuan looked at her like this before, she would feel that she was a good student praised by the teacher, but now that Xia Wenxuan looked at her like this, she felt that he had other plans, and the alarm bell in her heart was loud.

"Ah, it's okay, I was forced by the situation at that time, and I defeated the Northern Desert soldiers by mistake!" Ling Dongwu was smiling and smiling with Xia Wenxuan.

Seeing her like this, Xia Wenxuan just shook his head and diverted the topic: "Dongwu, do you think this king's mansion is good?" ”

Ling Dongwu was puzzled in his heart, whether your mansion is good or not has anything to do with me, "Ah, it's good, in fact, I don't know how to read feng shui!" ”

Xia Wenxuan saw Ling Dongwu dodging like this, and sighed lightly, "Dongwu, you and this king are separated after all!" ”

Ling Dongwu glanced at Xia Wenxuan out of the corner of her eye, his tall figure stood against the light, she couldn't see his face clearly, she lowered her head and hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm going to marry Mu Zicheng!" ”

"What?" Xia Wenxuan took a step forward, walked to Ling Dongwu's side, was handsome and slightly wrinkled, and said in a loud voice: "No, no, you can't marry him!" ”

"Why?" Ling Dongwu was a little frightened by Xia Wenxuan's fierce reaction, even if he liked himself, he had clearly refused, it was difficult for him not to marry for the rest of his life.

Xia Wenxuan also realized his gaffe, and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "Dongwu, now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, he is about to flood the harem, didn't you see him look at you a few more times in the court today, if he knew that you were a daughter, he would definitely accept you as a concubine!" ”

"No, he's a dignified man, how can he take a courtier's wife!"

"You are not Mu Zicheng's wife now, how can you be his minister's wife, even if you become Mu Zicheng's wife, in fact, men are like this, even if he is the emperor, he is still not satisfied with three palaces and six courts. Dongwu has such a good look, he naturally wishes that you were a woman, so that he could take you by his side. ”

"Well, what should I do! What if he finds out that I am a woman and wants to force me to enter the palace? "Ling Dongwu is really a little scared now, if the emperor really wants to force her to enter the palace as a concubine, how can her little arms be twisted over her thighs." I think, Mu Zicheng and I still resigned! "Ling Dongwu thinks about it, and it is safest to run away as soon as possible.

Xia Wenxuan heard that Ling Dongwu was going to marry Mu Zicheng, and she was reluctant in her heart, and she wanted to use the emperor's name to scare her, but she didn't expect to be a little too scared, she actually wanted to run. Xia Wenxuan hurriedly softened his tone and gently comforted Ling Dongwu, "The imperial court is about to negotiate peace with the Northern Desert Kingdom, in order to show sincerity, send this king to the Northern Desert with silk silk, gold and silver and beautiful women, and by the way, pick up the lady and princess who were plundered by them." For some reason, among the people who went to negotiate peace, you were asked to go by name, so you have to go to the Northern Desert with this king to negotiate peace, as for the marriage between you and Mu Zicheng, you should wait to come back from the Northern Desert! ”

"Call me by name!" Ling Dongwu's eyes widened and he pointed to his nose with his finger, "The emperor of the Northern Desert Kingdom still knows that the Southern Zhao State has such a number one as me?" Ling Dongwu didn't believe that the Emperor of the Northern Desert would know that she existed in this world, and she suspected in her heart that Xia Wenxuan was playing tricks.

Xia Wenxuan saw Ling Dongwu's suspicious expression, the smile on his face disappeared, and his handsome eyebrows pressed, "Dongwu, you come to the study with me!" ”

Ling Dongwu followed Xia Wenxuan to his luxurious and spacious study, in the study, sandalwood was swirling, it was quiet, Xia Wenxuan walked to the table, took out a piece of bronzing paper and handed it to Ling Dongwu, fortunately, Ling Dongwu knew the words on it, take a closer look, it was really a letter from the Northern Desert Kingdom to the Southern Zhao Kingdom, and it did have her name Ling Dongwu written on it, Ling Dongwu knew that the suspicious look she had just now was seen by Xia Wenxuan, so she covered up her chuckling: "I didn't expect my Ling Dongwu to be so famous, Even the Emperor of the Northern Desert knows who I am! ”
