【Jingguo Capital】【Fengcheng】

It took half a month to rush to the capital of Jingguo, Li Lingyu, Lu Ji and others, who had just entered the gate of Fengcheng with their front feet, and their back feet entered the palace all the way non-stop.

。

At this time, in the Jing Imperial Palace, several other princes were waiting outside the door of the imperial study waiting for the emperor's summons.

"I heard that the fourth brother is coming back today. ”

The eldest prince Chunwang Ji Sheng, who was dressed in dark gold court clothes, was the first to speak:

"I didn't expect my father to call him back, I really don't know what the intention is?"

"Eighth brother, what do you say?"

Among the brothers, if you only talk about appearance, compared with other princes, the appearance of this eldest prince can only be said to be ordinary. However, as the eldest son of Emperor Jing, the eldest prince has always been by Emperor Jing's side on weekdays to assist the government and review the folds, and he acts quite prudently, and Emperor Jing still likes him.

It's a pity that this eldest prince has a bad background.

。

And the eighth brother who was named just now, that is, the eighth prince, King Jing Ji Chen, is a tall man in Xuanyi. King Jing's biological mother is Concubine Xiao Min, the daughter of Feng Guang, the right minister.

At the age of sixteen, King Jing was named the general of Zhenyuan Pingxi, and Emperor Jing personally drove to the northwest on behalf of Emperor Jing and became famous in a war. Since then, the Eighth Prince has been stationed in the northwest border area for many years, and his military achievements are outstanding.

King Jing is decisive, brave and strategic, and has a very high prestige in the army, and there are many ministers in the court who secretly support this prince.

And this time, he was also one of the princes who was urgently recalled to the palace by Emperor Jing.

"Father naturally has his reasons for doing things. The eighth prince said lightly, "If the eldest brother has any doubts, you might as well wait until you go in and ask your father in person." ”

"Eh, the eighth brother's words are inevitably a little too serious. ”

"Big brother is just a casual question between you and my brother. The second prince, King Wen Ji Rui, said with a smile.

"The starling brother has always been serious in his work, and the second brother didn't know it on the first day. The eleventh prince, Rui Wang Ji Yan, opened his mouth, and then the conversation changed:

"By the way, eldest brother, if you talk about age, only the eldest brother among our brothers should have seen the fourth brother!" the eleventh prince asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Not bad. As if nothing had happened just now, King Chun replied kindly. "When the fourth child left the palace, you were still young, and even if you saw it, you shouldn't remember it. ”

"Second brother, what about you? do you remember?"

"The younger brother still has some impressions, but after many years, it's really hard to say now. ”

On the surface, the princes outside this door seem to be brothers, friends and brothers, and they are harmonious, but no one present knows that there will be any real family affection in the royal family. Today's imperial study is by no means a pleasant place, not to mention the unusual dangerous aura that has filled the air at the moment, let's just say that the next meeting with Emperor Jing is even more undercurrent and dangerous.

。

【Inside the Imperial Study】

"The sons and daughters visit their father. All the princes saluted and said in unison.

"Well, get up. Emperor Jing said.

。

"Father Xie. ”

。

Emperor Jing looked at the sons standing in front of him one by one, and then spoke:

"Eighth child, you have worked hard in the northwest in the past few years. ”

"Tell me, how do you want me to reward you?"

The Eighth Prince stepped forward and replied:

"It is within the son's duty to be able to share the worries of his father. ”

"Erchen, don't dare to ask for credit. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the eleventh prince smiled and said:

"Father, my sons have also worked hard!"

"My father knows that he cares about starling, why doesn't he say that he will reward his sons?"

"You! Eleven didn't say anything about you, you said that you followed the eighth child all day long, why didn't you learn half of his steady! Still such a frizzy and irritable temperament!" Although Emperor Jing said this on the surface, although he was blaming on the surface, it was actually not difficult to hear his affection for the eleventh prince.

"Father. The eldest prince stepped forward and spoke.

"What's the matter with Sheng'er. Emperor Jing glanced at him leisurely.

"Fourth brother, do you want to send someone to urge again? The eldest prince asked.

"Father, the fourth brother is inevitably too big. It's been a long time since the imperial history was sent, and he hasn't come back. The second prince then said.

Emperor Jing frowned and did not speak.

。

【After a pillar of incense】

In the voice of the chamberlain, Li Lingyu stepped into the door of the imperial study.

"The sons and daughters visit their father. Li Lingyu bowed his head and said, a set of courtesies for monarchs and ministers is in place.

。

"The fourth is back. Emperor Jing said.

"There is no need to be polite today, but get up. Seeing that all his princes had arrived and stood in front of him, Emperor Jing's mood looked quite happy.

"Father Xie. Li Lingyu stood up as she said.

"Fourth, come on, come on. ”

"Come forward and let me take a good look. ”

Emperor Jing has never seen his son since Li Lingyu sent him out of the palace to Tianyang Sect to practice art when he was fourteen years old. Unlike several other princes, this is the first time Li Lingyu has returned to the palace to face the saint after he became an adult. Thinking of this, Emperor Jing couldn't help but feel a little emotional for a while.

took a closer look at Li Lingyu standing below.

Well, it really deserves to be his son, and his bearing looks pretty good, a bit so otherworldly.

It's just that......

Emperor Jing frowned slightly, in the end, he had been with those immortal monks for a long time, and now standing with the eighth child, he still looked too weak.
