Chapter 215: Named the County Lord
Zhao Ligang wanted to praise her, but Lu Linglong ran in the direction she came.
"Brother Zhao Li, wait a minute, I saw fish in the river, I'll catch two for you."
Seeing the girl leave in a hurry, Zhao Li doted on her and smiled.
It's been three years, and she's still so naΓ―ve.
Next to the river, Lu Lingxi worked hard to catch two fish ashore, but before it was hot, Lu Linglong came and took them away for her.
Lu Lingxi hurriedly stopped, "Hey, you put the fish down, I'll catch two more and you can take it." β
Lu Linglong thought for a while and said, "Okay, you're catching two." β
She said but didn't put down the fish, although Lu Lingxi was dissatisfied, but she thought that she would go back together after catching it, and she didn't think much about it, and worked diligently.
But there are not many fish in the river, and he caught three of them in a long time, Lu Linglong saw that the time was wasted for a long time, and he was going to leave with three fish.
"Are you looking for anything else to eat, just you don't have enough for me to eat alone, if I'm too hungry, I'll really give Zhao Li something to eat."
Even if she was joking, Lu Lingxi felt that this was strange.
"Got it."
"If you know, go find it, I'll take the fish back and grill it first."
didn't even wait for Lu Lingxi to go ashore to pull a handful, Lu Linglong took the fish and left, Lu Lingxi saw her cheerful steps, so she could only helplessly go downstream to find it.
On the other side, Lu Linglong took the food that Lu Lingxi had worked so hard to find, and gave him a hard hand in front of Zhao Li.
When Lu Lingxi came back, he smelled the fragrance floating in the air, sniffed his nose and walked in the direction of the two, but only saw Lu Linglong playing with torches without a pair, but Zhao Li was gone.
Lu Lingxi was shocked, "What about the prince?" β
"I don't know, it's still there."
Lu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't just that he was eaten.
Seeing this, Lu Linglong said in a half-joking tone, "What, do you think I'm you, and you still want to eat everything?" β
Lu Lingxi felt inexplicable, looked at the fire, there was only a pile of sweet potato skins and fish bones left, frowned and asked, "You didn't leave me food?" β
She looked for things for most of the day, and Lu Linglong said that she would finish eating them, and she didn't leave half a sweet potato for her.
Lu Lingxi covered his cooing stomach and stared at Lu Linglong dissatisfied.
Lu Linglong glanced somewhere, glanced at her aggrievedly, and muttered, "It's not that I don't keep it for you, it's that the ones I found are not enough for me and Brother Zhao Li to eat, and Brother Zhao Li is the crown prince, I must score him more, you went out by yourself for so long, didn't you find other food?" β
Lu Lingxi was speechless.
She really didn't find anything else to eat besides sweet potatoes and fish.
Lu Lingxi looked at her and had nothing to say, her heart was terrified, and she still looked aggrieved on her face, "I have only eaten half full, so there is still something left for you, if you want to eat, you better find it yourself." β
"What do you mean by that? The food wasn't all my ......."
"Linglong, is she the woman you said?"
Before Lu Lingxi finished speaking, Zhao Li, who was hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, stepped forward.
He looked at Lu Lingxi with sharp eyes, and frowned in disgust when he saw the scars on her face and dirty clothes.
Just like that, he doesn't look like a good person!
Zhao Li pulled Lu Linglong over, protected the person behind him, and scolded Lu Lingxi, "I haven't been able to find food for a day out, it's just incompetent!" When you come back, you dare to be fierce towards Linglong, you are so thick-skinned. β
Lu Lingxi was stunned, he didn't understand where Zhao Li's prejudice came from.
She looked at Lu Linglong suspiciously, but Lu Linglong shrank behind Zhao Li and didn't dare to come out.
I also want to know that Lu Lingxi is inviting merit alone again!
Lu Lingxi retorted, "How do you know that I didn't find food, and not all the things I looked for were taken back by Lu Linglong first!" β
Zhao Li was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Linglong behind him, "Linglong? β
Lu Linglong pursed her mouth aggrievedly, "She is looking for a little, but not much." β
"Not much?" Lu Lingxi sneered, pointed to the sweet potato skin and fish bones on the ground and asked, "Who ate the sweet potato and fish I found?" β
There was no way, Lu Linglong could only explain, "What you are looking for, I also have credit." β
She pouted dissatisfiedly and pulled Zhao Li over, "Brother Zhao Li, let's go aside, she didn't eat and started to get angry, just ignore her." β
Although Zhao Li was suspicious, he soon thought that the food was found by Lu Linglong and Lu Lingxi together, but he didn't leave it for Lu Lingxi.
And counting it, most of the things were eaten by Zhao Li, and if you continue to talk about it, it is Zhao Li who is embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Li was pulled away by Lu Linglong.
Seeing that they were really leaving, although Lu Lingxi was angry, he could only find some wild vegetables that were difficult to swallow to deal with his stomach.
β¦β¦
The next day.
Zhao Li took Lu Lingxi and Lu Linglong back to China.
Arriving in the east and leaving the country, Zhao Li took the two directly to the court.
Looking at the solemn court hall and the serious faces underneath, Lu Lingxi felt depressed and repulsed for no reason.
It's as if something very unpleasant happened to her here.
On the contrary, it was Lu Linglong, who was as comfortable as returning to his own home, and saluted the emperor.
Lu Lingxi could only salute with him, but fortunately, Zhao Li took it, so that he would not kneel three times and knock nine times.
"Father, when the sons and daughters encountered life and death disasters in the desert, they saved me, and the sons had the life to return to Dongli, redeem their sons, and want to ask for some rewards for my life-saving benefactor, and ask my father for permission!"
When Lu Linglong heard this, he revealed the shyness of his youngest daughter's family, "It is my blessing to be able to save His Royal Highness the Prince, even if I need my life to resist, Linglong is willing." β
Zhao Li's heart warmed very much, "In this case, this prince should be more grateful for your life-saving grace, such a kind-hearted person is rare in the world." β
Lu Linglong lowered his head with a red face, but glanced at the Eastern Emperor with his eyes, "The little girl is stupid, it's all up to Your Majesty." β
The Eastern Emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "What reward do you want?" β
Lu Linglong was stunned, his brows furrowed as if he was very entangled, "The little girl likes medical books, or the four treasures of the study, it's okay." β
Her unrestrained appearance made the emperor very satisfied, and she waved her sleeves and said, "Since you are the prince, you naturally can't be so perfunctory. β
After the words fell, the Eastern Emperor looked at Lu Linglong and Lu Lingxi and said, "I will each title you as the county lord, the title of Linglong county lord, and the other ......."
Emperor Dongli looked at the landing Lingxi, but did not recognize it.
Lu Linglong hurriedly said, "She doesn't have a name." β
"That being the case, I saw that this woman's temperament was like an orchid, so I gave the name Lanxi, a hundred taels of gold, a pair of jade Ruyi, and a white silk horse as a reward!"
Lu Linglong was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! β
Seeing this, Lu Lingxi calmly thanked him.
After the reward was over, Lu Linglong proudly left the palace with a group of palace maids and eunuchs who were holding the rewards, Lu Linglong walked up to her and asked, "Why don't you tell them who I am?" β
"If they know that you and I are sisters, can you pick up a county lord?" Lu Linglong asked rhetorically.
Lu Lingxi was dumbfounded.
Indeed, if there are two county lords from one house, it is too eye-catching.
She glanced at the palace maid and eunuch who followed behind her, and acquiesced to this.
Not long after the two arrived at the mansion, a group of people came to the door to say goodbye and gave a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
Lu Linglong didn't have time to calculate the reward in front, and he received a bunch of them later, and those who came did not refuse.
Looking at the dazzling array of pearl and emerald jewelry, and looking at the hypocritical smiles on the faces of the people who came and went, Lu Lingxi was inexplicably disgusted, and said to the maid who was in charge of counting the gifts, "Register the name of each gift and return it afterwards." β
