Chapter 658: Luo Xue's Request
Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart
When Leng Ming took Luo Xue to the emperor to salute, the emperor was stunned for a while, his two sons actually married two twin sisters who looked so similar, which really made him feel indescribable.
But think about it, although this Liu Luoxue grew up in Chu since she was a child, he is more taboo about her identity, but after all, she is Liu Dechang's daughter, and she has to look at the face of Buddha if she doesn't look at the monk's face.
Besides, the daughter of the protector of the country, married to the prince of Daning Kingdom, this can be regarded as the right person, and now that the facts have come true, this father should no longer embarrass them.
So he waved his hand to the two men standing below,
"Let's be exempt, Liu Xi, and present the gifts I prepared for them!"
After Liu Xi bowed down to receive the order, he went to get the gift.
The emperor looked at Luo Xue and asked kindly:
"Princess Ming, don't blame me for not agreeing to your marriage to Ming'er at the beginning, there are many reasons for this, I hope you don't hold a grudge against me."
Luo Xue hurriedly clenched her fists and replied politely:
"Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen knows that he has a lot of problems, his father has concerns, Erchen can understand, now Erchen has become Leng Ming's official wife, Erchen came today, there is something I want to ask my father, please ask my father for permission."
Just four days after getting married, you have something to ask for? The emperor's brows tightened in an instant.
He expected that this Liu Luoxue must be a lion with a big mouth, it seems that she and Liu Luolan are still different.
Liu Luolan doesn't care about anything outside his body, this Liu Luoxue has lived in Chu since he was a child, and his ambitions are definitely not small.
Thinking of this, he sighed, nodded with some disappointment, and said in a cold voice:
"If there's anything, you might as well talk about it."
Luo Xue looked at Leng Ming and replied directly loudly:
"Father, Leng Ming is twenty-three years old, he has been idle all these years, and his son begs his father to arrange a position for him."
So that's it?
The emperor suddenly felt that he was wrong to blame Liu Luoxue? He had thought about arranging a position for Leng Ming a long time ago, but because he had not yet married, he was afraid that he would be uncertain, so he never took action.
Now after she reminded her, the emperor nodded approvingly,
"Okay, I also have this intention, go back and let Yu'er see where there are still vacancies in the court."
"Father, the son knows where there is a vacancy, and it is just right for Leng Ming."
The emperor looked at Liu Luoxue with surprised eyes again, it seems that this woman is waiting for him here, she will definitely open her mouth and want to arrange a high position for Leng Ming, her ambition is really too big.
The emperor's face sank instantly, he looked at Luo Xue, a trace of coolness crossed his eyes, and he asked angrily:
"Tell me, which position do you think is right for him?"
He had already thought about it, if Luo Xue dared to say that he would arrange one for Leng Ming, beyond the position in his emperor's heart, he would definitely ask her about the purpose of marrying Leng Ming.
Luo Xue didn't notice the emperor's strange expression, she swept towards Leng Ming with her afterglow, her deep eyes were dyed with a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and she replied with a fist:
"Erchen thinks that it is most appropriate for him to go to the city gate to guard the city gate."
As soon as she said this, Leng Ming looked at her as if she didn't understand, pointed to her nose, and asked in an incredulous tone:
"You say...... Let me guard the city gates? ”
The emperor frowned, and asked with the same puzzlement:
"You...... Are you talking about Ming'er? Didn't I hear it wrong? ”
He originally thought that Luo Xue would open his mouth and ask Leng Ming for a very high position, but now it seems that her requirements are simply too low, which can be said to surprise him.
Luo Xue looked at Leng Ming, blinked a few times mischievously, picked her chin and nodded,
"Yes, I said let you go to guard the city gate, you have not served in the court, and now I am rashly giving you a position, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it, it is better to start from the bottom first, so that you can gradually understand the suffering of the people, and when you become an official in the future, you can also know how to benefit the people, and when you make progress, I believe that my father will give you a more suitable position."
Leng Ming still shook his head, and he replied with a smile:
"I ...... I'm also a prince, the emperor's son, and you want me to guard the city gate? If this is known to the people, won't they laugh off the royal fangs? It's not proper, it's not proper......"
"There's nothing wrong with it, let the prince go to guard the city gate, this just shows that the emperor is a Ming monarch, the people will definitely say that the emperor can let his son go to the bottom to serve, to mingle with the people, the emperor is really a good emperor who loves the people like a son, besides, the ancient Yue Wang Goujian lay down and tasted the courage, and now let you go to guard the city gate, what do you have to be wronged? Besides, the work of guarding the city gate, ordinary people don't have a chance to do it, but you can't look down on it? From this point of view alone, you are a little ambitious, and you should temper and temper it even more. ”
This......
Leng Ming seemed to be a little speechless, before he came, he never thought that Luo Xue would come with him.
Knowing this, he should have discussed it with her before he came, but now it's good that she made this request in front of her father, and praised her father a lot, and it was strange that her father didn't allow it.
Thinking of this, he looked at the emperor with aggrieved eyes, hoping that his father would refuse Luo Xue's request.
Who would have thought, but the emperor didn't look at him at all, but nodded happily,
"Princess Ming has this idea, I am pleased, then I will approve Princess Ming's request, starting tomorrow, Ming'er, you will go to guard the city gate! By the way, you are not allowed to use your identity to suppress others. ”
Leng Ming pursed his mouth unhappily, clenched his fists aggrievedly, and replied in a deep voice:
"Erchen...... The son's command. ”
At this moment, Liu Xi came to the emperor with a tray in both hands, and the emperor waved his hand directly and said:
"Princess Ming, this is my reward for you, you can accept it!"
Luo Xue looked at the jade Ruyi and a pair of white jade bracelets placed in the tray, took them from Liu Xi's hands with both hands, and bowed happily.
"The son thanks his father for the reward."
"Well, by the way, since you are married, this is on the agenda for the continuation of the incense for the royal family, and now the Yu'er family has three children, and the Xi'er family also has one, you also have to give birth to an heir for the royal family as soon as possible!"
Leng Ming likes to listen to this, he hurriedly clenched his fists, raised his voice and replied:
"Erchen is in charge, and Erchen must work hard to import Dingding for the royal family as soon as possible."
"That's right."
The emperor raised his hand and instructed Liu Xi:
"Spread my will, let Prince Ming guard the city gate tomorrow, when Princess Ming is pregnant with a royal heir, when will he change his position."
This......
Leng Ming looked at the emperor with a stunned face, and Luo Xue replied with a pouting smile:
"The son of the minister receives the decree, thank the father for his grace."
Leng Ming now, but his face is black, and he really has a feeling that he can't say what he can't say.
Out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, looking at Luo Xue triumphantly looking at the jade Ruyi in his hand and the pair of white jade bracelets, he hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking:
"Why do you want me to guard the gates?"
"What's wrong with guarding the gates? There are dozens of people guarding the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and everyone is pointing to this errand to feed the family, which one is so wronged like you? ”
"I ...... Am I like them? ”
"How are you different? You are just from a nobler birth than they are, so what, if you were to be born in a peasant family, maybe you would not even be able to earn the job of guarding the city gates, and besides, I told you that you have to listen to me in everything, why do you have so many questions now? Not happy with my decision? ”
"I ......"
Leng Ming was patient, endured the words that were about to blurt out, and nodded angrily,
"Okay, even if you are ruthless, I Leng Ming has planted it in your hands in this life, I will go to guard the city gate tomorrow, I want to see if you can still use a lot of damage on me."
