Chapter 8: Tyrants are shameless
When Ling Xi left the palace, it was already dark.
Father-in-law An sent it to the gate of the palace and took the pastry box from the hands of the little palace maid: "These are some small snacks, which Your Majesty prepared for the girl, I don't know if it is to the girl's taste." β
"Well, I know, Your Majesty will engage in these indecent gadgets," Ling Xi picked up the brainless and stupid character of the original body, and rolled his eyes disdainfully: "By the way, Grandpa An, what about my things?" β
"What's that?"
"My gold and silver jewelry, the things I want to dowry......"
"Oh, Your Majesty said that he would keep those things for the girl for the time being, as a dowry."
What's that?
Ling Xi was stunned.
[Why is the tyrant more shameless than me? This is a bright robbery! γ
[I'm still married, but he actually accepted the dowry first? γ
Grandpa An smiled: "Girl, go slowly!" β
"No, Grandpa An......"
Ling Xi still had to work hard for his treasure chest, but the heavy palace door closed heavily.
Hua Luo had been guarding outside the palace, and when she saw Ling Xi, she hurriedly ran over to take the pastry box: "Miss, are you okay?" β
"You look at me, like it's okay?" Ling Xi was about to cry.
"What's wrong? Your Majesty bullied you? β
"He's a bully! You deserve to be chopped off your skull! β
"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Hua Luo was naΓ―ve, opened the food box and looked at it: "Are these rewarded by His Majesty?" β
"What reward, I bought it," Ling Xi collapsed even more: "I bought it with my treasure chest." β
"Is that the box that Miss brought out of the house in the morning?" Hua Luo looked down at the pastry: "Miss, we have lost." β
Ling Xi felt a little comforted: "It's rare, you still know that Miss I have suffered a loss!" β
Hua Luo checked the pastry box very seriously: "Our box is so heavy, and if we change such a little thing, we will definitely suffer." β
Ling Xi: ......
[Stupid, forget it!] γ
Hua Luo reacted half a beat slowly, blinked her eyes and looked up, and after glancing at her, she threw away the pastry box with a "snap".
"We don't want to suffer losses!"
Ling Xi's heart was dripping blood: "Eldest sister, what about a treasure chest, you said you would throw it away?" β
"Don't you throw it away?" Hua Luo hurriedly picked up the pastry box again, aggrieved: "Miss, you ...... Throw you upset? I'm not happy if I don't throw you, what the hell are you going to do! β
Ling Xi got into the carriage angrily: "Go home!" β
On the carriage, looking at the pastry box.
"Hua Luo, take one to me, it cost me so much money to buy it, and it is something from the imperial dining room, I will suffer if I don't eat it up!"
Hua Luo took a piece of Tan Ti cake and held it with a small cup, which was crystal clear and beautiful.
Ling Xi bit down shallowly, his eyebrows furrowed: "What is this?" β
"Tan Ti Cake."
"Why is it so unpalatable? It didn't taste at all, and it was dry...... The emperor eats this thing? β
Afraid of wasting, Ling Xi ate half of the Qin Ti cake in disgust, and his eyebrows twisted into a heap.
"It seems that the days of the tyrant are not as good as I imagined, this thing is not as delicious as moon cakes, it is ugly."
Hua Luo was curious: "Miss, what is a moon cake?" β
"A kind of bread, small, sweet, and unpalatable."
"And you just said it was delicious?"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ
Ling Jaefu was brewing sauce in his new aunt's room, and when he heard that Ling Xi was back, he didn't wear any coats, so he ran to her boudoir with his shoes.
"Xi'er, you didn't do anything rebellious in front of Your Majesty, did you?"
Ling Xi wilted: "No! β
[I've slept with the tyrant, what could be more rebellious than this?! γ
Ling Zaifu's face turned red, but he also breathed a sigh of relief: "During the day, I will write to your brothers and ask them to go home, as fast as seven or eight days, as slow as ten days and half a month, they should be able to rush back before your wedding......"
"Oh......" Ling Xi was still in pain in the treasure chest, and responded listlessly, and changed clothes after walking into the screen.
In the next second, he poked out half of his head.
"What did you say?"
Ling Zaifu startled her: "What? β
"You just said that my brothers would come back before my wedding?"
"Yes, you are the queen, they will naturally come to marry you."
"It's not this," Ling Xi was anxious: "Why don't you say that before the wedding, it won't be...... I'm already set to ...... Your Majesty's wedding date, right? β
"You don't know?" Ling Zaifu was very excited: "The ceremonial secretary has already set the date for the wedding, and on the sixteenth of this month, the wedding letters have been sent to our house, don't you know?" β
Ling Xi: ......
[I haven't been home for a day, how can I know this?] γ
"Then you have been in the palace all day, with Your Majesty...... Not to discuss marriage? Ling Jaefu's expression was a little playful.
Ling Xi didn't notice the slight peach blossom color on his father's face, and retracted the screen without love: "No! β
[He's busy, he's busy killing people for a day, how can he have time to discuss marriage! ] γ
[The sixteenth of this month? γ
Yes!!
In the original text, the marriage date of Ling Xi and the tyrant is also very urgent, and the author hurriedly brushes it over, as if it is the sixteenth day.
That's because the author is in a hurry to urge the plot line, so that she, the supporting actress and the tyrant, can hurry up and give away the head, and Ling Xinyao can complete the task line and develop the plot later.
Ling Xi touched his neck: "It doesn't matter if you have brought this pen, my head is gone." β
In the original text, Ling Xi's three elder brothers did not benefit her at all after returning home, but fell in love with Ling Xinyao, and finally helped the heroine send her to the guillotine.
[Is that the three elder brothers?] That's three amulets!! γ
[Without them, I might have died a little slower!] γ
[Damn, how can I keep them from coming back? γ
[The letter has been sent, and it is impossible not to come back!] γ
[Then don't let them go to the wedding? γ
[How can I not participate?] γ
[Is there a rule that people who wear filial piety cannot enter the marriage hall? ] γ
[Why don't you kill your father and let them serve filial piety collectively? ] γ
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Ling Zaifu was hooking his neck to listen to his daughter's careful thoughts, and he was frightened when he heard his daughter's "filial piety and strength" plan.
- There must be something wrong with the ancestral tomb, otherwise such a boneless girl would not have been born!
- Tomorrow I have to find a feng shui master to take a look at the ancestral tomb, don't really have the bones of an old ancestor running out.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, drink tea, choke, you continue to ......"
Ling Xi leaned out, made sure that the old father was okay, and retracted back to change clothes.
[This plan is a bit vicious, and it is not tolerated for the daughter to kill her father, why don't you let Aunt Huang's little adulterer kill him in advance? ] Anyway, he will die in three years. γ
Ling Jae-fu: ??
[Three years later, the Ling family was wiped out, and even the watchdog was beheaded, he just died three years early!!] γ
Ling Jae-fu: !!
[It's better to be dead now than to kneel on the execution ground and watch your sons beheaded three years later!] γ
Ling Jae-fu: ......
[At least, if he dies now, he can still be sacrificed by incense for three years, and if he dies again after three years, the Ling family will be destroyed, and he will not even have anyone to collect the corpse, and the corpse will be gnawed by wild dogs. γ
"Bang dang!"
There was a loud noise outside the screen, and Ling Xi hurriedly went out, only to see Ling Zaifu tumbling off the stool and falling to the ground on all fours.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's okay, I, my hand trembled, and I fell......" Ling Zaifu stood up in a panic.
He wanted to confirm with Ling Xi what he heard, but when the words came to his lips, he was too timid to ask again.
"That, you, you rest first, I, I'll go back and change my clothes, change my clothes......"
When Blossom came in, she almost collided with him.
"Sir."
Ling Zaifu's eyes wandered over, as if he didn't see her.
She walked into the room suspiciously: "Miss, what's wrong with the master, his face is not very good." β
"It's no wonder that his face can be good, a person in his forties, and a sixteen-year-old concubine, will die of exhaustion sooner or later! What did you take? Ling Xi saw what Hua Luo was doing.
"I don't know, the second lady gave it to me, saying that it was a wedding gift for the eldest lady." Hua Luo smiled and sent a beautiful fragrant wood box.
