The divine beast is guarded, the red wall is majestic, solemn and solemn.

The Royal Palace is one of the holiest and most brutal places in a country.

Ming Xu followed behind Zhang Ling with Mingyue, his eyes did not squint, and his expression was solemn.

Zhang Ling looked up at the palace wall, and kept a faint but comfortable smile on his face.

A eunuch who looked very expensive walked to the emperor's side gently, lowered his head and whispered a few words before holding his hand to his side. After hearing his words, the emperor's face was overjoyed, and he immediately said, "Hurry up!"

"Yes!" the eunuch replied, and hurried out.

He walked so quickly that he almost bumped into the queen who was about to enter the door, so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "The queen mother spares her life!

The queen frowned slightly and asked, "What is Gonggong Hai doing in a hurry, how can he be so reckless when he is serving by the emperor's side?"

Gonggong Hai knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "The queen forgives, the slave has served the emperor for many years, how dare he be reckless, isn't this just to do an errand at the emperor's behest!"

"Get up!" the queen said, and then she was a little curious, she had never seen this Hai Gonggong so rude for so many years, and she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.

"What did the emperor tell you to do?"

Father-in-law Nahai hesitated, but he thought that the man was going to meet the emperor later, since he came to celebrate the queen's birthday, he would definitely see the queen, and he might as well sell the queen's favor.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Back to the queen's mother, a quarter of an hour ago, the guards at the gate of the palace came to report, saying that a king of Lingjun came to the capital to congratulate the queen on her birthday, and now he was ordered to ask the emperor and the queen mother to say goodbye. The slave saw that the emperor had not been so happy for a long time, and the slave was really happy, so this collided with the queen mother, and asked the queen mother to atone for her sins. ”

The queen hummed lightly, and said: "Forget it, this palace doesn't blame you, since the emperor is happy, then you should hurry up and invite this King of Lingjun to come over!"

"Yes, thank you, the queen!" said Hai Gonggong respectfully, took a few steps back to give way to the queen, and then hurriedly trotted towards the palace gate.

The royal study is as warm as spring, and the charcoal fire is booming.

When the emperor saw the queen, he blamed slightly: "Why are you here? It has just snowed, the road is slippery, the weather is cold, you have not yet had a good wind, how can you come out casually, how can you see the wind?"

As he spoke, he pulled the queen to the couch, looked at her face carefully, and saw that there was no discomfort, so he was relieved.

A smile appeared on the corner of the queen's mouth, and she said angrily: "If the emperor doesn't go to see me, won't he let me come to see you?"

The emperor laughed twice and said, "Aren't you complaining about me?" Okay, I will compensate you, let you see someone in a while, and ensure that you are absolutely happy!"

"But that King Lingjun?" the queen looked at the emperor with a smile, and she was even more curious about what kind of person that King Lingjun was.

And the emperor just smiled but kept silent, the queen glanced at him and didn't ask, she knew what the emperor would say.

But to her surprise, the emperor just smiled this time, but he didn't say a word, just looked at the door frequently, and seemed to have a feeling of impatience.

The queen was a little surprised.

She knows the emperor's temperament very well, the two have been married for more than 20 years, and have given birth to three princesses and two princes, and the emperor is only her queen, not a concubine, she spoils the harem, and accompanies the emperor from the beginning of a prince to the current supreme emperor, her understanding of him, no one in the world can match.

The emperor is affectionate but not affectionate.

This is also the reason why he can sit on this throne, she has rarely seen the emperor have such a happy or even excited mood.

That King Lingjun, I had never heard of such a number one person in the capital, and the queen couldn't figure out who King Lingjun was even after racking her brains.

Zhang Ling followed this Hai Gonggong to the imperial study, and Ming Xu and the others followed him step by step.

"Your Majesty, King Lingjun has arrived. Grandpa Hai entered the imperial study and bowed.

"Let him in!" the Emperor immediately got up and walked out, and before he had taken a few steps, he saw a young man coming towards him.

This young man's sword eyebrows were thick and his starry eyes were bright, he just walked over ordinarily, and the emperor felt a fierce aura. His eyes were very similar to those of his father, but the different temperament made the emperor a little distracted.

Zhang Ling saw that the emperor actually came out to greet him in person, and hurriedly walked a few steps to worship: "My nephew has seen the emperor!"

Where did the emperor allow him to bow down, he immediately stretched out his hand to mix him, and looked at it carefully, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

This child, with his father's hidden pride and domineering, he is sharp and knows how to restrain himself, Zhang Liu saw Zhang Ling's character in an instant, and the big stone in his heart was slightly put down.

"Is this? this is Ling'er?" the queen stepped forward tremblingly, she looked at the emperor in disbelief, and then at Zhang Ling, her eyes were full of tears, but she seemed to question what she couldn't bear to fall.

However, this face, inheriting all the virtues of his father and mother, concealed a fierceness that could not be ignored under the softness, like a sword about to be unsheathed. The queen looked at Zhang Ling blankly, counting the similarities between the young man in front of her and his parents.

His eyes and eyebrows were like his father's, his face was like his mother's, his mouth and nose were like his father's, and he was still a little more like his father. The queen was a little disappointed, and then looked at the two Ming Xu behind Zhang Ling, she looked at Mingyue carefully, with doubts in her eyes.

This girl looks soft and weak, with a kind of beauty that makes people have a strong desire to protect, but she doesn't look like Zhang Feng and Sister Yun at all!

Zhang Ling was looked at by the queen a little unnaturally, and he wailed a little in his heart, why?

Why does everyone look at him as if they are looking at others through him? Master is like this, Father is like this, King Cheng is like this, and now the Emperor and Empress are like this!

Can't these people look at him, isn't he ugly?

Zhang Ling was not angry in his heart, but he could only endure it, because he found that the queen was carefully looking at Mingyue at this time.

Mingyue was looked at a little unnaturally, and tried her best to lower her head, but the queen walked closer because she lowered her head, Mingyue smelled a faint but very good fragrance on her body, she couldn't tell what kind of fragrance it was, but approached Mingxu a little nervously.

This little action of hers attracted the attention of the queen, and even the emperor noticed this, is this Zhang Yao? It is different from what King Yun said in the letter! Didn't King Yun say that Zhang Ling had a loose personality and was a little careless, but Zhang Yao was a steady person, and at this moment, this woman was not as King Yun said! Wasn't she Zhang Yao?

The emperor was a little puzzled, he didn't know about the separation of Zhang Ling and the two.

Zhang Ling moved his body, blocked the bright moon behind him, just faced the queen, and said respectfully: "Ling'er has seen the queen's mother, before coming to Beijing, my father told me very much, saying that I must greet the mother for him and my mother." ”

"It's really you!" The queen's tears flowed down instantly, hot tears kept dripping, and she just looked at Zhang Ling, muttering to herself: "Say hello to him and your mother!" Your mother ......" The queen turned around and threw herself into the emperor's arms, crying silently, her body trembled violently, as if she wanted to endure grief, seemed to want to remain calm in front of the juniors, and seemed to want to remain dignified in front of the ministers.

But after all, she is not just a queen, she is also a woman, just an emotional woman.

"Okay, don't cry Wan'er, Ling'er is here!" the emperor patted the queen on the back and comforted her softly.

Zhang Ling also felt in his heart, he only heard his father say that his mother had met a few friends when she traveled around the world, and one of them was a close friend, who was the current queen. Later, the queen married the emperor who was still the prince at the time, and Zhang Feng was still following King Cheng at the border, and after coming back, he met his mother through King Cheng, and his mother and father were naturally more like-minded because they were both monks, and later they got married directly in Yue without going through their mother's family.

After getting married, the parents did not go out again, but lived in the palace, and later the queen was pregnant with her second child, Princess Yueyue, who was born prematurely, or the mother worked hard to keep the queen's mother and daughter, and the friendship between the two was irreversible.

I also heard my father say that it was very difficult for my mother to give birth to them, and it hurt for three days and three nights, and the queen guarded my mother for three days and three nights, and then after Zhang Yao was born, because her mother was frightened, she gave birth to him with difficult births, and those midwives fainted inexplicably, and they couldn't wake up, and the queen delivered him with her own hands......

Although his father didn't talk too much about the previous things, he just picked up some more important things and told him, but even so, Zhang Ling's feeling for the queen in his heart was different from others.

At this time, seeing the queen like this, he was also bitter in his heart, and he had another kind of intimacy with the queen in addition to gratitude.

"Please don't be too sad, otherwise your mother will definitely blame Ling'er when she sees Ling Er making you so sad. Zhang Ling took a step forward and said gently.

The queen's hand tugged hard at the emperor's civilian clothes, because of the force, her knuckles turned white, but she gradually stopped trembling.

"No, if your mother were here, she would just laugh at me for ignoring her for so many years. The queen seemed to think of something, and burst out laughing.

The emperor shook his head helplessly, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the queen's face clean before saying, "Look at you, you are crying and laughing, you have become ugly." ”

Zhang Ling silently took two steps back, and was a little surprised by the way the emperor and the queen got along.

King Cheng and Zhang Jie, the emperor and the queen, what else can he see in this capital?

The queen sorted out her mood, and then walked in front of Zhang Ling again, glanced at Mingyue and asked, "Who is this girl?"

"Her name is Mingyue and she is my friend's wife. Zhang Ling said, pointed to Ming Xu, and continued: "Originally, I came with my sister, but when I was in Forgetting, my sister said that she wanted to go for a walk alone, so she didn't come with me." ”

The queen was a little disappointed, but soon smiled again: "It's okay, there is always a time to meet, you come to the capital this time, but do you want to stay?"

Zhang Ling shook his head: "No, this time, one is to congratulate my mother on her birthday, and the other is to help my friend open a store in Beijing." ”

He glanced at the queen, then fell silent.

The queen also fell silent, and after the initial excitement, her state of mind gradually calmed down, but she was even more lost.

She remembered all the things in the past, and for a while she only felt all kinds of sadness, so she forced a smile and said: "That's it, in this case, you can live in the palace!

Zhang Ling smiled, and kept a gentle smile on his face and said, "Naturally, Ling'er is at the mercy of Niangniang's arrangement!"

The queen nodded and said, "Good boy, I'm a little tired, you can bring me a few of your friends at dinner!"

Zhang Ling replied yes, sent the queen out of the imperial study with a smile, and then returned to Zhang Liu's face, his face solemn.

Zhang Liu waved his hand back from the waiter, and only after everyone was seated did he ask, "You said your friend wants to open a store in the capital?"

"Yes, his family was originally a merchant family in Biyi City, and this person is actually still my disciple. Zhang Ling paused for a moment and said, "Future disciple." ”

Zhang Liu laughed all of a sudden, it was the first time he had heard such a title as a future disciple.

"I discussed with my father that this is not the same time as in previous years, we have to start first, but it can't be too obvious, so it's best to do things in the name of business, and what to buy and sell is just a façade. ”

Zhang Liu glanced at him with a deep groan, and then glanced at Ming Xu and the others, feeling a little suspicious of these two people in his heart.

Ming Xu pulled Mingyue forward, and said while saluting: "Ming Xu brought his inner son to see the emperor." ”

Zhang Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Ling, but did not speak.

Zhang Ling couldn't help but sigh secretly, what a human spirit!

"The emperor knows that there has been a small rumor in the capital recently, saying that I saved two Xia people, and it is them!" Zhang Ling pointed to Ming Xu and the two people, his face was calm and not wavering.

Zhang Liu continued to raise his eyebrows, a playful look appeared in his eyes.

This nephew is really capable!

He said, "Please get up, just sit and talk." ”

Ming continued to say yes, and after sitting down, he secretly glanced at Zhang Ling, and saw that Zhang Ling was just drinking tea calmly, and secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, feeling that the pair of uncles and nephews of the Zhang family were all foxes, the little fox cast the net, and the old fox closed the net, so that once they entered the net, they could no longer escape.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Although Ming Xu scolded in his heart, he still said: "My inner son and I were saved by King Lingjun, and we were willing to be slaves and maids for King Lingjun to send, but King Lingjun said that we had a supreme status, so we didn't dare to enslave us, and he was a monk, and he didn't need slaves, so let us leave freely." ”

He paused here and glanced at Zhang Ling gratefully, although he was still secretly scolding this guy for being a little fox in his heart, but his gratitude at this time was also genuinely grateful.

"But we have a seal belonging to the Western Sect, even if we flee to the ends of the earth, we will also be hunted down, King Lingjun said that he was willing to save our lives, and help us lift the seal, and also said that he could give us a normal life. We are grateful to King Ling Jun and want to take revenge, but revenge is too difficult for the two of us, King Ling Jun said that as long as we are willing to belong to the emperor, the emperor will avenge us, so the two of us will enter the palace with the king of the county to meet the emperor. ”

After Ming Xu finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Liu with burning eyes.

If it were someone else, Zhang Liu might still be angry, but thinking that it was Zhang Ling who gave him this big gift, he didn't laugh out loud now because he was very determined.

But......

"Ling'er, you actually make the decision for me privately?" Zhang Liu looked at Zhang Ling gloomily, with unknown emotions in his eyes.
