Chapter Thirty-Eight: The People's Girl Wants the National Teacher!
The word "national security" came into his ears, and the old emperor's face sank, and his sharp eyes stared at the woman in the hall.
Isn't Shen Ling's words threatening him to hand over the treasures of the previous dynasty?
Think about the time when he forced the palace to rebel, he looted all the treasures left in the palace, and it was as much as an entire room.
From gold and silver jewellery to gold and silk twigs, the list is simply endless.
Let him give all these gold and silver treasures to others? That's impossible!
When the old emperor thought of this, the displeasure in his eyes quietly rose, and when his eyes skimmed to the unmoved face, the oracle of "national safety" kept echoing in his mind.
"Your Majesty?"
Seeing that the old emperor was thinking, Shen Ling tilted his head and raised his voice and shouted.
The old emperor who was pulled back to reality was stunned for a moment, and then put on a kind smile, "This second condition can naturally be promised to you, and in a few days, I will send someone to count all the quantities, and then send it to you." ”
"The maiden is here to thank Your Majesty."
Shen Ling smiled slightly, and her demeanor showed her innate temperament.
A trace of cunning flashed on the face of the old emperor in the high hall, Jiang is still old and spicy, he must know the content of the oracle, and it is impossible for people to take away the gold, silver and jewelry of the previous dynasty!
"Ling'er, what is this third condition?"
The old emperor pinched his forehead, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he couldn't wait to ask.
The girl in the audience was still that gentle and moving, only to see her eyebrows raised, thin lips lightly opened, "Back to Your Majesty, this third condition." ”
As if deliberately trying to sell Guanzi, Shen Ling's beautiful eyes scanned around the hall before falling faintly on a person's body.
The old emperor swallowed his saliva, and there was always a bad premonition in his heart.
"The third condition is to ask Your Majesty to give marriage to the daughter of the people and the national teacher."
Without the shyness and tactfulness of a girl, Shen Ling's voice was more stubborn, and even had a little order.
When the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall.
Who doesn't know that Jing Ci, as the teacher of our dynasty, is an existence above ten thousand people under one person.
Jing Ci only felt a "pop", and the whole person seemed to be stunned in place as if he couldn't turn around.
I have mixed feelings in my heart.
She just said what is the third condition?
Marry yourself?
"Smack!"
A heavy blow came as promised, and the old emperor slapped his palm on the table, with anger in his eyes, "You are presumptuous!" ”
Shen Ling pursed her lips, looking harmless to humans and animals, and blinked her eyes, "Is there anything wrong with the third condition of the people's daughter?" Your Majesty. ”
After that, he also threw an unusually shy and contrived glance at Jing Ci on the side.
Jing Xi swallowed her saliva, but she didn't speak, but she wanted to see what this stinky girl was trying to do by pulling herself in!
The old emperor put on a loving face and said earnestly, "Ling'er, since ancient times, marriage has been the order of parents, and the words of the matchmaker, how can there be any matter of choosing a husband by yourself?" ”
The old emperor raised his head slightly, looked at Jing Xi, and then at Shen Ling, and finally sighed again, "As your elder, I naturally want to help you arrange your marriage." ”
The tone and tone are like a gentle father who persuades his daughter who has gone astray.
Shen Ling's heart was cold, and he snorted lightly, if it weren't for you seeking power and usurping the throne to kill my entire clan! Am I the fatherless and motherless person I am now?!
A monstrous hatred struck, and Shen Ling lowered his head tightly, forcing himself to suppress it.
Just when everyone concluded that the old emperor could not agree to this third condition.
Shen Ling had already put on that pitiful look, raised his hand and touched the corner of his eye, and said with a crying voice, "Your Majesty... Although the folk girl grew up in the palace since she was a child and has the protection of His Majesty, it is just... It's just..."
At this point, the cry began to spread, as if he couldn't speak, "It's just that there are always some subordinates... Withhold the people's women's food, coals, and even... Even when he was in a displeasure, he scolded the people's daughters. ”
These are not made up by Shen Ling, but facts, which were experienced by the princess of the previous dynasty in the harem.
As soon as these words came out, the old emperor's face instantly turned ugly, and he felt the strange gazes of the ministers, and coughed lightly twice with some facelessness.
And before the old emperor could persuade him, Shen Ling collapsed directly to the ground, her beautiful eyes were red, and her miserable appearance was really distressing.
"Ling'er... You go first, you get up first. ”
The old emperor naturally knew that he was at a loss, and looked at the woman on the ground, a little at a loss.
Who would have thought that the woman would ignore him at all, and looked at Jing Xi with a pair of crying scarlet eyes, "Since I was rescued by the National Teacher back to the mansion that day, the folk girl has been able to eat and dress warmly, and also... I don't have to be bullied by others anymore, and the room I live in is not so dark and warm. ”
Jing Ci had clasped her hands tightly since she was slumped on the ground, staring at her intently.
At this time, when I heard this sentence by sentence boasting about the warmth of the teacher's mansion of other countries, I was in a good mood and had a rare smile in the court.
"Nonsense! It's nonsense! ”
Seeing such an interaction between the two, the old emperor opened his mouth and scolded!
As if he felt that his image had collapsed a little, the old emperor changed his gentle face, "Ling'er, it was those palace maids who didn't understand the rules and neglected you, and I ordered them all to be beaten to death, and no one will bully you in the future." ”
A proper look like a kind stepfather.
Seeing that Shen Ling was still doing his own thing, the old emperor's patience had been exhausted, and he lowered his voice and ordered.
"Come on, send Princess Shen to me in the courtyard, change all the girls in the courtyard, greet them, take good care of Princess Shen, don't dare to slack off."
As soon as the words fell, the big eunuch beside the old emperor quickly counted a few people and walked towards the woman on the ground.
I didn't expect the Dog Emperor to be so shameless, Shen Ling frowned, and had a plan in his heart.
"Oops, oops, it hurts!"
Just as a few of the servants were about to approach her with a smirk, they heard a cry of pain.
The subordinates hurriedly took a few steps back in fright.
"Oops, it hurts, my chest hurts."
Shen Ling's small face was twisted together, curled up, covering his chest with both hands, and gasping for breath.
The big eunuch looked at the old emperor with some embarrassment and shook his head helplessly.
The old emperor's heart tightened, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and looked at Jing Ci, who was speechless.
There was an incomprehensible look in his eyes.
As soon as Jing Ci met those eyes, he quietly understood the deep meaning of the old emperor's eyes.
Isn't it just that I want to make myself refuse this marriage!
