Chapter 11 Harmlessness to Humans and Animals

As soon as these words came out, there was a sigh in the seat, you didn't joke, this was really risky.

I only heard Chu Qing's pampering and humiliation, and said lightly: "My nephew has nothing else to ask for, but to ask for ......."

"The friendship between the Great Zhou and the Great Liang will last forever, and the people of the two countries will feel at ease!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Qing's big gasp was really scared to death!

Hearing this, the emperor laughed "hahahaha", and even said yes, and after the two exchanged a few polite words, the emperor let people give them a seat.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone can eat carefully at this meal.

"It's rare for a virtuous nephew to come to my big week, but I must stay a few more days to see the excitement of Kyoto."

Chu Qing raised his wine glass and said, "My nephew will definitely feel the enthusiasm of the people of Kyoto." ”

The emperor's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the two sisters Ye Sili and Xiao Ling, who were silent all the time and bowed their heads to cook, and turned their heads to Chu Qing and said:

"The virtuous nephew has just arrived, and he must be not familiar with Kyoto, so let Sili and Xiaoling accompany you to go shopping, how about it?"

Hearing this, Chu Qing looked at the two opposite, and it seemed that he didn't tell who the two were for a while.

The emperor pretended to cough twice, and motioned for the two to get up and introduce themselves, but the two sisters were worthy of being dry rice people, bowing their heads and eating vigorously, Xiao Ling also picked up a piece of meat and fed it to Ye Sili, Ye Sili opened his mouth without hesitation to take it, chewed carefully, his eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up and praised, this meat is good!

Gu Liwu put down the wine glass in his hand, and gently tapped his index finger on the table twice rhythmically, the sound was slight, and everyone didn't pay much attention, but Ye Sili, who was eating meat with his head down, suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Liwu.

Ye Sili reacted at this time, and everyone in the hall was looking at them at this time......

She hurriedly patted Xiao Ling, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, got up with Xiao Ling, and said to the emperor with a smile:

"Your Majesty, Si Li hasn't tasted the craftsmanship of the imperial chef for a long time, it's really good."

Ye Sili looked like a little girl who was greedy for more at this time, blinking her big eyes and looking at the emperor with a smile, but she couldn't scream bitterly in her heart.

"Father, Xiao Ling is obedient and doesn't cause trouble." At this moment, Xiao Ling is also well-behaved, like a little white rabbit who is ignorant of the world.

Gu Liwu and Mu Jiufeng on the opposite side looked at the appearance of the two, and they couldn't help laughing, when had they seen the two of them so well-behaved, if they hadn't grown up with them since childhood, maybe they would have really believed their harmless appearance at this time.

Ye Sili only felt that there was bitterness in her heart and couldn't say it, guessing that today was not simple, she and Xiao Ling had already worked hard to reduce their sense of existence, you see, the two of them unconsciously dragged the table back a little, and completely handed over the home field to this prince of Daliang, as a result, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, they were still called!

The emperor didn't get angry when he saw these two people doing this, but said helplessly:

"If you like it, after the banquet, I will ask the imperial chef to make another one for you alone, and at this moment at the banquet, don't lose my big weekly gifts."

"Uh-huh." Ye Sili and Xiao Ling hurriedly nodded in response, understanding the emperor's eyes, Ye Sili hurriedly turned to face Chu Qing, and bowed slightly gracefully but without losing the atmosphere, and said:

"Le'an has seen His Royal Highness Lisu, Your Highness rest assured, Le'an will let you feel the customs of Kyoto."

"Lord of Le'an" is Ye Sili's title, she usually doesn't like to call herself by a title, because it will always give people a sense of alienation, but the rules that should be there on such occasions are still indispensable.

Xiao Ling was very happy and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will definitely take you to Kyoto." Then he turned to the emperor and said:

"Father, leave this matter to me, I will definitely treat them well."

It's rare to have a reason to leave the palace every day, how could Xiao Ling let it go, how beautiful it is in her heart at this time.

Chu Qing looked at the two women opposite, her face had not changed, her right hand touched her left chest, bent down slightly, and said with a smile: "I'm tired." ”

Chu Qing glanced slightly to the right, and saw that two people were looking at him unabashedly, Chu Qing smiled faintly at the two, and sat down happily.

Mu Jiufeng and Gu Liwu glanced at each other silently.

This banquet doesn't seem to be as wonderful as Ye Sili and Xiao Ling thought, after three rounds of drinking, everyone dispersed, only Xiao Ling was reluctant to hold Ye Sili, trying to let Ye Sili accompany her in the palace for one night, if it was the past, Ye Sili would definitely follow, but today she just took Xiao Ling's hand seriously and said:

"Xiao Ling, I won't accompany you today, and you won't run around alone in the next few days, try to stay in the Thousand Spirits Palace, you know?"

By this time, everyone had left, and only a few of them were left walking slowly.

Xiao Ling looked at Ye Sili's suddenly serious expression, a little puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Sili shook his head and said, "It's not certain yet, but that Prince Liang is definitely not a good person, you stay away from him." ”

"Okay, I got it." Xiao Ling patted the back of Ye Sili's hand to reassure her.

After Ye Sili and Xiao Ling separated, they wanted to call their grandfather to go back to the house together, but Ye Zhongyao was pulled by several friends to catch up with the old days and couldn't leave for a while, so she and Gu Liwu and Mu Jiufeng got into the carriage.

Mu Jiufeng looked at Si Li, a little worried, and said:

"Si Li, you haven't been going out much lately, don't meet that Prince Liang, you are born with such a good appearance, it will be bad if you are targeted by him!"

Hearing this, Ye Sili returned to his thoughts, and when he looked back, he saw Gu Liwu and Mu Jiufeng who happened to be looking at her, both of them had worries on their faces, Ye Sili smiled and said:

"Don't worry, haven't you already met Prince Daliang today, and I don't have any reaction to see him, maybe we just think too much, and people are not here to marry. Besides, there are thousands of good daughters in Kyoto, no matter how you choose, you won't choose me, right? ”

In the last sentence, Ye Sili herself said a little weak-hearted, if she hadn't come to marry, she wouldn't have let Xiao Ling be careful, if she was safe, then the emperor shouldn't invite her today, in other words, the daughters of all the families who attended today were all candidates for marriage in the emperor's heart, and sure enough, they were still put together by the emperor!

The marriage between the two countries, in addition to the woman's own talent and moral education, is the status and wealth behind her...... Not only should the status be worthy of the crown prince of Liang, but the emperor should rest assured that he doesn't have to worry about conspiracy...... In this way, there are only a handful of people who can do this.

Ye Sili lifted the curtain, looked at the direction he had just left, and said slowly:

"I'm a little worried about Xiao Ling."

——

That night, in the palace of Qianling.

"Princess, the princess came to report that the emperor had sent you a visit."

"Now?" Xiao Ling sat in front of the dresser, took a cucumber from his face, and looked up to ask Mo'er.

Mo'er nodded and replied, "The prince is still waiting at the door." ”

Xiao Ling hurriedly took off the cucumber slices on his face, cleaned up briefly, and went out.

When Xiao Ling arrived, the emperor was sitting in the imperial study, and there was a stack of folds on the table, but he seemed to have no intention of correcting it, and looked at the folds in his hand for a while.

"Father."

"Father?"

Xiao Ling had already come in for a while, but seeing that the emperor seemed to be distracted, she called a few times, and the emperor looked up at her.

"Father, but the emperor has encountered something troublesome?"

The emperor looked up at the daughter in front of him in a trance for a while, and in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and even Xiaoling has reached the age where she can marry...... Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth.

Xiao Ling saw that the emperor was indeed in a bad mood, and thought of what Sili said to her in the afternoon, after thinking about it, she still walked behind the emperor, stretched out her hand to hammer the emperor's shoulder, and asked with a smile:

"Father, don't be sad, you're not handsome at all, your father is still smiling and good-looking."

The emperor was very emotional in his heart, among the many children, his favorite was Xiaoling, but now, he couldn't even protect his own children, the emperor closed his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath, and said:

"Xiaoling, how old are you this year?"

Xiao Lingzheng gave the emperor a beating on the shoulder, and then continued naturally, and said in a somewhat complaining tone:

"Father, you also said that you like Erchen the most, but you can't even remember Erchen's birthday, and there are ten days before Erchen's sixteenth birthday."

The emperor's voice sounded a little tired, and said: "Xiao Ling's birthday, the father and emperor naturally remember, in a blink of an eye, Xiao Ling is sixteen, and it has also arrived...... It's time to get married. ”

Xiao Ling's heart tightened, remembering what Si Li said, sure enough, his mind was racing in a thousand ways for a while, and suddenly, he saw Xiao Ling squatting in front of the emperor suddenly, holding the emperor's sleeve robe with both hands, and said sincerely:

"Father, the son doesn't want to get married, if he gets married, the son will leave his father, can't be under Cheng Huan's knees, the son is reluctant, is the father really willing to let the son stay away from his homeland alone?"

Before he finished speaking, there was a layer of fog in his eyes.

The emperor looked at his daughter in front of him, and he was also reluctant in his heart, but he only said:

"Where is there a girl whose family has never been married?"

"The minister there can be later, and accompany his father for a few more years in this palace, anyway, with his father here, he won't worry that his son can't get married." Xiao Ling said immediately.

The emperor patted the back of Xiao Ling's hand, but he couldn't speak for a while, and Xiao Ling waited patiently. For a long time, I only heard the emperor sigh softly.

Xiao Ling was already clear, held back the tears in his eyes, looked at the emperor, his voice trembled a little, and asked:

"Father, the emperor wants to let his sons and the prince of Daliang ...... Marriage? ”

The emperor looked at Xiao Ling, and had to sigh again, saying, "It's the father who is useless, and he has wronged Xiao Ling." ”

Xiao Ling changed his previous attitude, took a long breath and spit it out heavily, and said: "What's wrong with this, the other party is the prince of Daliang, what a noble identity, and he is talented and good-looking, which girl doesn't want to marry him?" ”

The emperor didn't seem to expect Xiao Ling to react like this, and was a little surprised.
