Love Like The Galaxy.

Chapter 59

From any point of view, this is an unusual banquet for the ministers.

The emperor was still warm and harmonious, the queen was still in all manners of manners, Yu Hou recited the poems affectionately as usual, General Wu danced a knife to cheer up the fun, and Uncle Xuan Guo was the first to get drunk as usual, and he also went to the food case as usual. As usual, the second prince disliked the third prince, and he kept teasing with cold words during the banquet, annoyed that the fourth prince was about to make a move, the prince hurriedly came out to persuade him, and turned his head to scold the second prince.

The third prince was in no hurry, he waved his hand to the fourth prince to indicate that there was no need, and then skillfully brought out the fact that the second prince's companions had not yet returned. The emperor didn't care at first, but after a while, the flying cavalry returned to those companions who were young and energetic, and actually disobeyed the holy will and went hunting on their own.

The emperor's face sank at that time. The second prince stole the chicken and failed to lose rice. He knelt down in a panic and pleaded guilty. The fifth prince interjected: "Is it possible that these few people missed the banquet today, there are many more."

So starting from this, the emperor simply asked all those who missed the banquet. After a lot of dancing, the results were gratifying—six or seven Confucian scholars who were still drunk in the afternoon, four or five reckless teenagers who broke their legs at the horse races, three noble ladies who gambled money in their accounts, and two couples in A wild mandarin duck who lost his way in a tryst in the forest.

In all fairness, today is not a strict monarch. If it is excusable, it is not a big deal to miss the royal banquet, so the emperor raised his hand and spared the unfortunate and broken legs, and the rest were punished: drunkenness. Confucian scholars were expelled from Taixue; each of the ladies who gambled money was fined 30,000 yuan, their official life was revoked, and their husbands and husbands were demoted to their ranks by 200 stone each; as for the two pairs of wild mandarin ducks...the pair were the Duke of Zhongshan and the new widow who made the prince a wife. Mrs. Chenghou is the son of Hu Bentian Langguan and the daughter of Dr. Ouyang from Taixue.

The emperor was innocent and upright, and immediately said unpleasantly: "I don't want to pay attention to such matters of love and moon, but Chenghou was killed in battle a few months ago, and his wife is going to remarry, but during the period of filial piety, she committed adultery with someone with a family. First of all, it can be seen that there is no kindness between husband and wife, and secondly, it has humiliated the deceased husband's wisdom. You should be punished!"

After speaking, he ordered Mrs. Chenghou to be expelled from the capital and returned to her mother's family. None of the wealth and silk of the husband's family was to be received, and the Zhongshan Hou was directly smeared as one. Zhang Baiban, seized the nobility, dismissed the official, and expelled him back to his hometown for self-examination.

Seeing the emperor's dazed expression, all the ministers stopped pushing cups and changing glasses and laughing and chatting, and sat quietly in the banquet to wait for the emperor's departure. At this time, Tian Langguan and Dr. Ouyang were already kneeling in the middle of the imperial tent, kowtowing and begging for guilt. The former argued that 'the little children are ignorant and lost their way, and did not intend to despise the royal banquet', but the latter blushed and bit hard, 'My daughter has been promised to be married to someone else, and it was all tempted by the Tian family's Shuzi'!

Cheng Shi, who was sitting in the corner of the imperial tent, was uneasy. Before going to the banquet, Mrs. Xiao sent someone to tell him that her daughter had not yet returned. He thought that her daughter and Lou Yao would go to play privately, but just before entering the tent, he saw Lou Yao in good condition. Sitting outside the seat of honorable children.

In fact, the emperor has no spare time to manage whether a girl from a mid-level general's family will come to the banquet. Those three ladies were also discovered because of the gambling battle. Madam Chenghou and Mrs. Ouyang were searching for Zhongshan Hou Hetian by the guards. When the son was piggybacked.

Cheng Shi carefully glanced at the servant Lou opposite, and prayed to the Western Kunlun Virgin and the Eastern Yuan Shi Tianzun in his heart, bless his daughter not to hit the cusp of this storm.

Tian Langguan and Dr. Ouyang were already blushing at this time, and they were arguing with each other. Just as the emperor was about to speak, a little Huangmen suddenly entered the tent in a hurry, bowed his head in front of the throne and whispered two sentences.

The ministers didn't know what the little Huangmen said, but the emperor's face was a little surprised, and his eyes shot at the tables in the corner of the tent. The fifth prince got close, and vaguely heard the word 'Ling'. He was sullen, and hurriedly said: "Father, sir, isn't Eleven here today, why didn't you go to the banquet at this time?" The

emperor Shen Chen glanced at him and said: "Today, all the people who went hunting in the mountains, each of them went to the Tingwei to receive ten whips. Isn't there still chaos in the north of Jizhou? Send them over to serve, and they can return if they have merit." The

second prince wailed . A voice: "Imperial Father?! You, think twice..." Those companions are all the courtiers and nephews he made with him on a daily basis. This time he broke his achievements for several years.

The emperor did not move, and continued: "The second prince is not strong enough to restrain the left and right, and he and the fifth prince also go to receive ten whips." The

fifth prince was smiling proudly, and suddenly heard this, and said: "Father, father, are you wrong? already...?"

The emperor was too lazy to pay attention to these two living treasures, and whispered to the little yellow gatekeeper to lead the person to the side tent, then left the table and walked back, and the ministers and princes also stood up and gave each other. The emperor only took a few steps and then stopped, then turned around and said, "Xiaowei Cheng, you come with me!"

The eyes of all the ministers shot at the same time, and Cheng Shi, even the genius of the sky, couldn't understand this unfathomable mystery. Holy Intent, at this time, he can only hold his burning eyes, shrink his neck and drive away.

After the emperor left, the tent was buzzing like bees—

"What's the matter, what happened?"

"I just heard from the guard outside that Shirou is back!" "I'll

be back when I get back, Your Majesty. Why has his face changed? His Majesty will never punish Shijilang!"

"I heard that Shijirou was injured and was helped back."

"What?! Who can hurt Shijirou! Hold on! The one who came back is not seriously injured!"

Cheng Shi couldn't hear all these words, he really didn't know why the emperor called him alone, thinking in his heart that even if his daughter was late for the banquet, it would not attract such high-level attention, he followed step by step. The emperor couldn't stop thinking about the recent affairs of the court, the emperor suddenly said: "Cheng Qing, how many children do you have under your knees." His expression was very pleasant. Cheng Shi was stunned

, and answered mechanically: "This minister has four sons and one daughter." The

emperor paused and frowned, "Only one daughter?"

Daughter." The

emperor frowned: "Have you already betrothed Lou Taipu's nephew?"

"Exactly." Cheng Shi thought, "Your Majesty, didn't you even give my family an decree to confer marriage?"

The emperor looked unhappy at all: "Why is there only one daughter?!" The implication seemed to be very dissatisfied.

Cheng Shi was confused. Is it wrong to have only one daughter? !

In fact, the little Huangmen just said in a low voice - "Master Ling's left arm was injured and he was brought back by the daughter of Cheng Xiaowei's family." The

emperor felt that every word in this short sentence was strange. .

First of all, wouldn't he know who his adopted son was? If you hurt your arm but not your leg, why do you need someone to support it? Even if he injured his leg, he was able to walk straight from Liangzhou back to the capital with three knives and six holes back then, without showing any trace.

Secondly, it was a little girl who helped her back! Even if the mountain gods were sacrificed today, and a spirit fairy suddenly appeared to sing a ditty, it would not surprise the emperor even more.

At the beginning, someone slandered that Ling was not close to women because he was good at Longyang. He scolded him angrily, but his heart was full of ups and downs, and he was so scared that he didn't sleep well for two nights. He didn't let go of his heart until he didn't know who gave his adopted son a few good-looking children and was beaten out.

After passing through the ten-foot-long camp, he came to a slightly smaller golden-topped imperial tent. Before the little yellow gate opened the tent, the emperor heard a soft and glutinous girl crying inside. The famous adopted son is whispering consolation.

The emperor sighed, called Xiao Huangmen to report, and then strode forward, followed by Cheng Shi, whose face was pale, and he heard it too.

After entering the tent, I saw Ling Budo sitting by the fire, the doctor was fixing his left arm with wooden slats and bandaging, and beside him sat a little girl, although her face was like a cat, she could still see The appearance is beautiful, the childishness is weak, and the jade snow is piled up.

——So, the adopted son actually likes this one? The emperor thought to himself, had no one sent such a beautiful girl before. No, since the adopted son was fifteen years old, he should have given all kinds of flowers, willows and greens.

"Father..." Shao Shang tugged at the hem of Cheng Shi's clothes, tears were hazy, so pitiful.

Cheng Shi knew in his heart that his daughter's safety would be safe, and if there was any problem, he was afraid that his daughter was a marriage, so he said in a low voice, "Whatever your majesty asks, you can say."

Shao Shang nodded-according to the words they had set up, she rode up to the cliff. She accidentally slipped down because she wanted to climb the flowers on the edge of the cliff. Fortunately, she was hung on the crooked-neck tree on the edge of the cliff. Suspect passed by at this time, heard the cry for help, and broke her left forearm when pulling her up.

Hearing the call for help? The emperor really wanted to turn his head and remind his adopted son, 'Remember that when the eleven daughters of Yuhou's family fell into the water, you actually kicked off a piece of wood and threw them over to be hugged and floated', but Yuhou also understood what you meant. That's it.

Cheng Shi felt relieved after listening to this passage, thinking that this is the best way. Immediately, he hurriedly kowtowed, grateful to Ling Budo for rescuing his daughter, and loudly complained to the emperor.

The emperor nodded, thinking to himself, Cheng Shi doesn't have any intention of clinging, and it seems that he is still available.

"Ms. Cheng and Eleven Lang, have you met before?" No matter how his heart was tumbling, the emperor's face would not show the slightest.

Shao Shang looked down at the hem of Zhu Xuan's two-colored robes hanging on the carpet, and couldn't help sweating in his palms. It was the first time in his life that he saw the national boss, how could he not be nervous.

The emperor saw her hurried salute, which was actually the etiquette of the family to the elders, not the ceremony of the holy face. It was obvious that she was lacking in education.

Ling Budo didn't realize it, holding his wrapped left arm, knelt down and salute, and said, "This minister and Mrs. Cheng have met several times, and I can't ignore him." The

emperor ignored him and continued to ask: "Mrs. Cheng , where have you seen Zisheng."

"Your Majesty might as well ask your ministers about these matters." Ling Budo's face was pale, but he still smiled.

The emperor asked again: "Ms. Cheng, Zisheng is an important minister and a pillar of the country. You hurt him, do you know the guilt?"

Shao Shang was about to open his mouth, but Ling Budo took the lead again, and said with a smile, "I had known that Your Majesty wanted to If you scared her to death, I don't have to give up my left arm to save her just now." The

emperor finally couldn't help turning his head, just as he was about to scold his adopted son, he sighed when he saw the pity in Ling Budo's eyes. After a sigh of relief, they waved the Cheng family's father and daughter to retreat.

Cheng Shi took his daughter's arm, sighed repeatedly, and scolded as he walked: "What's the matter with you?"

"What's the matter? Didn't Grandfather hear it." To wipe away the tears.

"You, you, why did you get involved with Eleven Lang again!"

"Lord Ling is very kind and generous. After I go back, I will go to the door with Ayao to thank you! Father, please prepare a gift for me."

Cheng Shi was incredulous: "That's it?"

"What else." Shao Shang looked back at Father Cheng strangely.

Someone saved your life, thank you fiercely, and you will have the opportunity to repay in the future. Is there any problem? As for Yan's return upstairs, I can't say anything.

Cheng Shi: Did you think too much?

...

Over there, Mr. Lou heard some news, dragged his nephew to a secluded place, and said in a low voice, "I just got back from an injury, do you know who helped him back?"

"My nephew knows. Yeah. It's a young businessman."

"Ah!" Lou Taipu couldn't react in time.

Lou Yao had a bright face and said bluntly: "You just called the maids around you to tell me. The elder brother of the Ling family saved her life. When I go back, I will go to the door with the young merchant to thank you."

"Is that so?"

"What else?" Lou Yao felt that his uncle was very strange.

Lou Taipu: Is it because you think too much?

...

In the side tent, the emperor circled around Ling Buxuan again and again, hesitating to say anything: "You and the little lady of the Cheng family...?"

"What does Your Majesty want to say?" Ling Buxuan raised his arms and focused.

The emperor straightened up and walked slowly with his hands behind his back, changing the subject: "I remembered that you were there when I gave the Lou Cheng family a wedding decree that day."

"Yes, the minister is on the side." Ling Budo said lightly.

The emperor stared at his adopted son for a long time, feeling that he had nowhere to speak.

Ling Budo glanced at the little yellow door next to him, and the little yellow door understood and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the banquet outside..." The

emperor waved his hand irritably, left a sentence of 'you take care of your wounds' and then strode After returning to the main tent and sitting down, he saw Tian Langguan and Dr. Ouyang looking at each other angrily, he sighed: "Forget it, it's not easy for a young man to fall in love, Ouyang Aiqing, when you go back, you plan to marry a daughter into the Tian family. It's a matter."

Dr. Ouyang was stunned: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, but the little girl is already engaged."

Seeing the tired look on the emperor's face, General Wu roared like thunder: "It's a marriage and a divorce! What nonsense are you talking about?

Yuhou twirled his elegant literati beard and said with a smile, "Dr. Ouyang, so many people have seen it today, and I want to make Ai's original betrothal family unwilling to continue their relationship. This is not the Tian family's marriage, but a small The children are in love with each other, Your Majesty intends to fulfill, why are you stubborn?"

Dr. Ouyang fell to the ground and did not dare to refute, Tian Langguan was full of joy, and loudly thanked the saint.

The emperor's mind drifted: Did he really think too much?
