Chapter 53: Prince Nangong Chen
The imperial city of the imperial capital, the city walls stand high, the red wall bricks are paved, the beams are exquisitely carved, and there is luxury everywhere.
The prince of the East Palace set up a banquet, and where he passed by, there were groups of palace maids, which could be seen to be lively.
Nangong Ling's status is noble, and the tall steed goes straight through the layers of guards, and her handsome face makes the children of the family who are fortunate enough to come to the banquet respect and awe.
"That is King Sheng?"
King Sheng has been fighting outside for many years and has hardly appeared in such a public place, so although he is famous, many people have seen him for the first time.
It was also this glance that made the little hearts of the girls who were frightened by the rumors of his thirst for murder beat wildly.
What a handsome man!
The facial features are handsome, and the temperament is like the most dazzling and hard ice in the Changbai Mountain, which makes people dare not blaspheme from a distance.
At this point, it is not convenient for the carriage to move forward.
Nangong Ling jumped down from his horse, and the guards immediately stepped forward and respectfully led the horse down.
The carriage behind him also moved.
It was also at this time that the nobles of the capital noticed that today's Nangong Ling actually brought someone here.
Those who can sit in the carriage are naturally not men.
For a while, no one was jealous, and whispered, "Didn't you say that Princess Sheng is a spy in the Western Regions, and who is sitting in this carriage?" ”
"You don't know that, do you?"
One person obviously knew a lot of inside information, and explained, "Although Princess Sheng rebelled, His Royal Highness King Sheng met a noble person again." ”
"King Sheng was at war with the Western Regions, and due to the rebellion of the princess, King Sheng lost 50,000 troops. On the way back, there was a natural disaster, and many people were merged. ”
"It was also at this juncture that King Sheng met such a nobleman."
The man's tone was full of admiration when he said this, and the crowd saw the man coming out from behind the curtain of the carriage.
Slender hands and fair skin.
Punch line: A water-blue skirt cedar came out of the carriage.
This dress is plain and elegant, compared with the red and willow green of the ladies of the imperial capital, but it is like a green lotus that is not stained out of the mud, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Nangong Ling had a cold face, but he was considerate but in place, and he reached out and helped the witty words down from the carriage.
"Thank you, Brother Ling." The witty words whispered, with a smile and a smile, the weak willow supported the wind, which was pitiful.
The person who had just explained to his companion added the unfinished words, "This is the girl who is rumored to be a wonderful rejuvenator in the army, a disciple of the Medicine King Valley." ”
"It's actually a disciple of the Medicine King Valley!" Another exclaimed.
With the gilding of this identity, the little jealousy in everyone's hearts completely turned into convincing.
After all, the medical skills of the Medicine King Valley are famous all over the world, and even the imperial doctors in the court and the central government have many disciples of the Medicine King Valley.
Punch Lines is young, a wonderful woman, how can she not be convinced by such medical skills?
"Ninth brother, you're finally here!"
At this moment, a deep voice came with joy.
When they looked over, they saw a man in a purple robe walking from inside.
The face of the person who came is not handsome, it can only be said that the facial features are Zhouzheng, the eyebrows are not a little sharp, and the corners of the mouth are smiling, which shows that he has a gentle temperament.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Nangong Ling arched his hand, and his tense expression loosened by two or three points.
This person is the current crown prince Nangong Chen.
"I haven't seen each other for a few years, and the ninth brother and the third brother are separated." Nangong Chen raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, smiling helplessly.
The coldness between Nangong Ling's eyebrows melted slightly, the expression in his eyes softened by two points, and he changed his title, "Third brother." ”
Nangong Chen touched his chin and smiled with satisfaction.
This scene stunned the people around him.
King Sheng was in the limelight, and he thought that this return to the capital would be the biggest variable in the situation between the DPRK and China.
After all, in addition to the Tai and Zi parties in the court, there are also many martial artists who are secretly optimistic about King Sheng.
Who would have thought that the two who should be mortal enemies are now showing the picture of brothers, friends and brothers in front of everyone?
Could it be that there are other connections between these two princes in private? Some people speculated.
On Nangong Chen's side, Nangong Chen, who had praised Nangong Ling, had already looked at the witty words standing on the side.
"Don't you introduce this girl to the third brother?"
Nangong Ling said: "This is a witty saying, the disciple of the Medicine King Valley, fortunately there is her here, otherwise in a battle with the Western Regions, the loss of the younger brother will be even greater." ”
In the end, Nangong Ling's face had become solemn.
Nangong Chen also nodded.
Looking at the punchline, he expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for the help." Today's palace is to welcome the return of the third brother to set up a banquet, and you are also a great hero. ”
Witty Yu looked flattered, and said again and again: "Saving the dead and helping the injured is what Yu'er should do, and for the sake of Brother Ling, Yu'er is willing." ”
Nangong Chen looked at Nangong Ling and then at her, although one looked cold and didn't say anything, the other was affectionate, where did he still not understand what was going on?
Immediately stroked his palms and laughed, "Okay! The ninth brother met his lover again! ”
Nangong Ling could have brought no one with him, but he still brought a punchline.
It can be seen that he deliberately let everyone know the existence of the punchline, what does it mean, isn't it almost written on his face?
The protagonists of the banquet are here, and the next thing is naturally to start the banquet.
Everyone pondered for a long time, and had to admit that the relationship between the prince and King Sheng was indeed very good.
During the banquet, everyone naturally had to talk about two sentences about the DPRK and China.
Seeing that Nangong Chen and the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites said something, and his eyes were worried, Nangong Ling didn't hesitate much, so he asked, "What problems did the third brother encounter?" ”
Nangong Chen said slowly: "It's indeed a big problem. ”
"In Lingshui County, next door to the capital, there was a disaster during the harvest season this year, and all the crops were washed away by flash floods."
Nangong Chen slowly explained, "There has already been a solution to this matter. But something went wrong. ”
Nangong Ling frowned, "Lingshui County is not far from the court, and the flood is easy to treat, what else can it be?" ”
Lingshui County is also considered to be at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and rescue and supplies are easy to reach.
"Natural disasters are easy to treat, but man-made disasters are difficult to stop." Nangong Chen's face was slightly solemn, which showed that the situation was serious.
"After the flood, Lingshui County suddenly broke out of a rare epidemic in a century, and the palace sent a lot of doctors to go with the disaster relief team, but there was still no good news."
He was worried.
Nangong Ling was surprised, frowning and pondering, looking for a way.
The witty words on one side flickered slightly, and he raised his head at this time and asked, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, what are the symptoms of the epidemic that broke out in Lingshui County?" ”
The prince looked at her, as if he had just remembered her identity, "Look, I've forgotten about it." The punchline girl is also a person in the Valley of the Medicine King. ”
The punchline smiled lightly, as if he didn't take it to heart.
But...... Can she believe such a coincidence?
However, after learning her identity, there was such a thing as the epidemic in Lingshui County, if she didn't say something again, how could she be worthy of her identity?
