Chapter 7: The Palace Banquet
"Sakura?" Ling Luoyan came to Muxi Pavilion and saw that Ying'er was sweeping the floor, and stepped forward, with a triumphant smile on her face, "It is worthy of being trained by His Royal Highness the Great Prince." I'm here to see if you're safe. Now it seems that my worries and those of His Highness are really unnecessary. β
Ying'er replied very respectfully: "Second Miss, don't worry, Ling Tianhuan didn't see anything. Something came to mind: "It's just Second Miss, today the slave maid used the method taught to the slave by His Royal Highness, Ling Tianhuan was not angry, but was unusually kind." β
Hearing this, Ling Luoyan's face changed, Ling Tianhuan actually didn't have a plan! It seems that she underestimated Ling Tianhuan.
At this time, Lan Xin's face was very bad, and she saw Ying'er and Ling Luoyan standing together.
Sakura immediately reacted: "The slave maid asks this young lady to say goodbye." β
Ling Luoyan also reacted and said with a smile: "The girl is polite, get up quickly." Seeing Lan Xin again, although she didn't know this person, she still asked politely: "Are you the new personal maid next to the big sister?" What's your name? I am Ling Luoyan, the second lady in the house, so that I can recognize people and save me from annoying my eldest sister. β
Lan Xin smiled politely, how could she not know the person in front of her? But she knew that whether it was Ling Tianhuan or Nan Yunhuan, the two of them didn't like this Second Miss Ling.
Ling Luoyan's biological mother is just a roommate, and she still climbed into bed to become the second aunt of the Hou Mansion. Among the nobles, everyone knows that Ling Luoyan came from a humble background. Therefore, she is also a straw bag who can be bullied.
Kelan knew that Ling Luoyan was not a straw bale. Because Nan Yunyu reminded her to guard against Ling Luoyan, and if necessary, let Ling Tianhuan befriend the third lady, Ling Yingyao.
"Slave Lan Xin has seen the second young lady." Before Ling Luoyan could ask her to be exempt, she got up by herself.
Ling Luoyan just smiled politely, and wanted to go in, but Lan Xin stopped: "Second Miss, without the permission of the eldest lady, the slave and maid can't let you in." β
Ling Luoyan said good-naturedly: "Then there is Miss Lao, spread the word." β
Lan Xin responded at this time, and he couldn't make a cup of tea: "Second Miss, you can go in." β
Ling Luoyan entered the door, only to see Ling Tianhuan sitting there eating tea leisurely, she saluted, Ling Tianhuan did not call her up.
After a while, Ling Tianhuan had a plan, hooked his lips and smiled: "Ling Luoyan, how did I hear that the eldest prince likes your sister?" β
Ling Luoyan's heart chuckled, and her smile was more ugly than crying: "Huh? Sister, don't listen to those gossip. How can my sister Pu Liu's posture compare to my sister's national beauty and fragrance? β
Ling Tianhuan directly rolled his eyes in his heart. What to pack. Then let's compare who can pretend better.
"Huh. Sister, I can advise you. The queen is standing with me, and you are the daughter of your aunt, and you can't be a wife if you marry into the royal family. Could it be that you still want your second aunt to be posthumously named Mrs. Ru? β
Ling Luoyan showed trembling and terrified: "Sister doesn't dare!" My sister was serious. β
Ling Tianhuan smiled with satisfaction: "That is the case, today's words, God knows, you know and I know." Take care of your Bixia and don't go around. Otherwise, I'll make this frog unable to horn! β
Bixia's body trembled, the gods fought, and the little ghost suffered!
"Your Highness, the courtiers have figured it out, Ling Tianhuan really likes you."
"Find a time to find someone to let her know that this temple intends to marry her."
"But Your Highness ......"
Nan Yaorui interrupted Ling Luoyan: "Okay, Yan'er." For our future, for you to be the most noble woman in the world, for our deceased mother, for the sake of regaining everything that should have been. Excuse me, okay? Ling Tianhuan, this palace wouldn't like her before, not now, and not in the future. β
"Her mother is the one who murdered you and your aunt, and the other two people who love her are the rivals of the concubine of the main palace, and the other is the rival of the concubine of the main palace. And the person who hated the main hall the most, and the person who snatched the things that the main hall should have loved the most was Ling Tianhuan. With this alone, the main hall and Ling Tianhuan were destined to be enemies. β
Ling Luoyan was thoughtful, and then stretched out his hand to hug Nan Yaorui: "I'm sorry, Your Highness." Courtiers just have a strong sense of abandonment. In this world, except for His Royal Highness, no one loves courtiers. Therefore, the courtiers also love His Highness very much, and the courtiers are very afraid of losing His Highness. Not for the throne, just for His Highness. β
Nan Yaorui also hugged Ling Luoyan back and gently dropped a kiss on her forehead: "If there is something here in this hall that can tie Yan'er's heart, even if Yan'er doesn't love this hall, what's the matter?" Why doesn't the main hall want geese? It's just that if you directly ask to marry you in the current situation, it will hurt you. β
"If this temple wants to give you the best thing in the world, let us make up for each other's missing part of love."
When the day of the palace banquet came, Ling Tianhuan wore gorgeous clothes and made up again. So he got into the carriage. The old lady and the big lady in a carriage.
Ling Tianhuan was alone in a carriage, and Ling Luoyan and Ling Yingyao were in a carriage.
After entering the palace, several people went to the queen's palace to say goodbye.
"The courtiers/courtiers say hello to the queen, and wish the queen a thousand blessings and peace!"
The queen smiled, only when she saw her son and Ling Tianhuan.
"Hurry up and excuse me. Come over and let the palace take a look. β
Ling Tianhuan wanted to cry again. In her previous life, when the queen was found out to be the Empress Ping she had murdered, she was imprisoned in the cold palace. It seems to be punishing the queen, but in fact the emperor is protecting the queen.
And Nan Yao Rui Xu made the decision to kill his father directly at this time.
Ling Tianhuan stepped forward obediently: "Queen Mother~"
Concubine Liang spoke up at this time: "Miss Ling, it's really been a long time. There is a dragon well before the rain that the eldest lady loves, so why not sit in the palace for a while? β
Ling Tianhuan nodded in favor.
A queen in the harem, a good concubine, and the other concubines have all passed away. And now Ling Jun's wife is the eldest princess of Chaoyang, the daughter of the late Huining Guifei. The remaining second and third princesses are twin phoenix fetuses, both of whom are the daughters of Concubine Liang. The only one in the palace who has a complete heir is a good concubine.
After a long time, everyone moved to the Qianqiu Palace.
The Qianqiu Hall is a place dedicated to holding palace banquets, but this time, the emperor invited them in the name of family banquets.
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
The ladies looked at the door: "I have seen the emperor/father." β
The emperor was followed by three princes.
Nanyun Yu's gaze gently swept over Ling Tianhuan, and then he was allowed to do so, and everyone sat down.
The emperor did not shy away from getting straight to the point: "Today's banquet invites the Marquis of Yi Guo's Mansion, first, to reward the sacrifices made by the old and young of the Yi Marquis Mansion for the country; The second is for the marriage of Huan'er and my three princes. β
The queen chimed in: "Yes." Huan'er and Rui'er, Eucalyptus, and Shu'er have all reached the age of talking about marriage. This palace banquet also wants to inform Huan'er that the palace and the emperor have decided to let Huan'er be the daughter-in-law of the palace and the emperor no matter which prince she marries. β
Then, the queen asked Ling Qianhuan kindly: "Huan'er, do you have a favorite prince?" Bring it up, and this palace and His Majesty will make decisions for you. β
As soon as this problem came up, everyone's breath stagnated.
The emperor and the empress don't care on their faces, but they are afraid in their hearts, what if the little girl who has been spoiled from childhood to adulthood suddenly tells them that they don't like their son? I don't want to be embarrassed, but I really want her to be a member of my family.
The old lady and the eldest lady also forced a smile, if Ling Tianhuan said that he didn't like the three princes, then the glory of the Marquis of Yi would be ruined. Although Huan'er's happiness is important in their hearts, if they don't have this dazzling family background, Huan'er will definitely be wronged if she marries someone else.
Nan Yaorui didn't look worried about anything, he knew that Ling Tinghuan liked him, as long as Ling Tinghuan said in public that she loved him, he would have a way to use her to win the heir.
The Marquis of Yi is in power and the opposition, and the title is hereditary, Ling Jun is a general of a country, and the Marquis of Yi Guo's Mansion can be described as full of glory. Anyone with this kind of family background will be tempted.
Nanyun Eucalyptus only had reluctance in his heart, before he had time to do anything, he had to watch his beloved say who she liked......
He simply got up and walked towards the center of the hall: "Father! The son has an important thing to repay! β
The emperor frowned, this kid, how did he drop the chain at a critical moment!
He said with an angry face, "What's the matter with you?" β
Nanyun was about to say when the emperor added: "What is more important than the major events of your life?!" Get back! β
Nagumo Yu did not give up: "No! Father! Sons and daughters, please fight! Erchen invites the battle to lead the troops to the battle! β
"General Zuo was seriously wounded on the battlefield and arrived in Beijing in a few days. Erchen is willing to lead troops to the frontier to help the Marquis of Yi! It must not be broken, and Loulan will not be returned! β
These words moved the emperor: "That's it, the day after tomorrow, you will lead 3,000 troops to the frontier." β
"Thank you, Father!"
At this moment, Ling Tianhuan got up from his position and knelt down next to Nanyun Eucalyptus: "Your Majesty, the courtiers also ask for battle!" The courtiers are willing to learn from Mulan, and they are also willing to follow their father in the army. Now that the family and country are in trouble, Western Xia has marched into my southern country many times, and my father has also fought on the battlefield for many years. Since the first emperor allowed the daughter of the Ling family to practice martial arts, it shows that my daughter of the Ling family is by no means a cowardly and fearful person. β
"Good! What a Miss Ling! The Marquis of Yi is really for me, and has cultivated a noble girl who is both civil and military for the southern country! Then pass on my message, temporarily seal the marquis of Yiguo, Ling's joy, as the female general of the town, and the day after tomorrow and the second prince Nanyun Eucalyptus will go to the frontier together! β
"Miss, let the slave go with you! The young lady treats the slave and the maid as kindly as a mountain, and the slave and the maid don't want to be separated from the young lady for so long! β
Sakura knelt in front of Ling Tinghuan and tried to get Ling Tinghuan to take her all the way to the frontier. In this way, she will also better report the situation to Nan Yaorui.
Ling Tianhuan's eyes were clear, she looked at Ying'er and smiled, but did not speak. Lan Xin's heart was hanging there, and she silently thought in her heart that she should not take Sakura there.
"No need, Sakura. You don't know martial arts or strategy, and if you go, what will you do if the enemy attacks? β
