The emperor had passed the year of destiny at this time, but his body was still tall and straight. As long as the saddle and bow were wound, there would be no more than a handful of opponents in the entire capital, and the first of them was the adopted son he taught himself.

There are no dead people in the world. He understood this principle from the beginning of the uprising. Which of the confidants who fought with him in the bloody sea had no family or friends, died in battle or was implicated. Including himself, the three brothers and three brothers are now only the emperor, and the three sisters are only the eldest sister.

But none of the ministers from the dragon were as tragic as the Huo family. In order to hold back the heavy army for themselves, the Huo family was almost wiped out. Now Ling Budo is the only bloodline of the Huo family's brother left in this world.

The emperor was sometimes pleased with Ling Buxuan's steadfastness and decisiveness, but sometimes he was unhappy that he was too outstanding. The emperor often thought that it would be better if his adopted son was like ordinary noble children, or like his own sons, who loved power, wealth and silk, wine and hunting, and had girls and concubines. If so, the emperor may be a little disappointed that he is not so like the elder brother of the Huo family, but he can bestow these things anyway.

Ke Ling has no doubts, but it is not. He is like a wandering soul, melancholy and cold. He does not make friends with noble officials, nor does he keep guests and family members. Except for his affection for his relatives (here, the emperor refers to himself and the prince), this world seems to be Don't care about everything.

The emperor knew that the top one on the list of the best sons-in-law in the capital was Yuan Shanjian, the son of Yuan Zhoumu. However, from the top of the list to one hundred, there was no name of Ling Budo. Unpredictable, after Yuchang County Master and Yuhou's daughter hit a nail one after another, few households dared to come forward and beg themselves.

A man who lives in the world, doesn't love horses and spirits, doesn't love Meiji's fame and fortune, does he have to pester someone's fiancee?

Of course, the little lady of the Cheng family was not someone's fiancee at first. According to Shicai's inquiries with the adopted son, he learned that he and the Cheng family had met several times before - the first meeting of the Wan family, the help of Dongjun, and the reunion at the residence in the outskirts of Huaxian. Oh, I saw one more time outside the city gate, and then today.

The emperor was very careful and quickly came to two conclusions.

First, Ling Budo had saved his mind when he was hunting in the house. Who knew that the Lou Cheng family would follow the fire, moving so fast, when he turned around and found out that his sweetheart had made a marriage contract, he gave up. Don't force it anymore.

Second, Ling Budo really regarded the Lou family's children as his little brother, and he also regarded the Cheng family as his sibling's wife, so he took more care of him, and there was no other ambiguous meaning.

Ling Budo naturally said that the scenery is beautiful, but what is the truth? The emperor got up and paced back and forth in the dormitory in annoyance, not knowing which conclusion he should hope for.

If it is the former, is it possible to tell others to quickly withdraw from the marriage so that the marriage can be completed? ! After all, the Lou and Cheng families were officially engaged, and even the monarch could not insult his subjects. But if it's the latter... the emperor sighed heavily, then it would be better to entangle his fiancee, at least the adopted son doesn't need to be a wandering soul, and he knows where to start.

The queen, who was reading books in the tent, watched the emperor quietly for a while, and smiled, "What happened to your majesty today? But you are trapped in military affairs?"

"No, Zisheng was injured." The emperor's tone was tight. "By the way, does the queen remember the little lady of the Cheng family?" The

queen raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why don't you remember, A Li sued me several times before and after, saying that the little girl was vulgar and mean and had a bad character. I don't even know a few words."

"You can only believe half of what Aji says, so good-naturedly come to you and say bad things, isn't it enough to be educated." The emperor waved his sleeves and sat down beside the queen, "I remember Mrs. Lou. I once boasted to me that the little lady Cheng said, 'A great deed can be accomplished with eyes full of desolation'. It can be seen that although he is not literate, he is quite courageous!" The

queen nodded: "That's true. I have already reprimanded Aji. , Cheng Xiaowei and his wife were loyal to the country, so they had to abandon their daughter, which caused Miss Cheng to lack upbringing

.

The queen turned her head to recall for a moment, and then said: "At that time, His Majesty said that Cheng Xiaowei had both political integrity and talent, but unfortunately the family is a little weaker, but Lou's family loves that little lady, more than anything else."

The emperor twitched his beard and said in a sullen voice, "...Little yellow mouth, how do you know what you like." The

queen felt that the emperor's words were insane tonight, whether he wanted to approve of the mutual affection between the children of others, or to oppose them. Definite life or not worthy of the family. She put down the scroll of bamboo slips and said, "Your Majesty, is there something in your heart?" The

emperor sighed, he didn't know what he wanted, so he could only say: "...Zisheng refuses to recuperate in the palace, so he must go back to himself, If I knew earlier, I would not have given him the mansion!"

"...Your Majesty can call Zi Sheng into the palace." The queen held back her smile, still dignified and graceful.

Unexpectedly, the emperor shook his head and continued the language style of the night: "Zisheng is in his own mansion--" Only then can someone come to the door to thank him, if the little girl understands the truth.

...

Of course, Shaoshang understands the truth. Not only did she come to thank her, she also thanked him three times in one go!

On the first day, that is, the day after returning to the capital from Tu Gaoshan, Shao Shang asked his servants to pack a cart full of gifts, and invited him upstairs, intending to go to Ling Budo to thank him. Tai servant deliberately told the fake and came along.

Ling Budo's mansion is only one square away from the palace city. It is said that it was originally the palace of a certain prince from the previous dynasty. Entering from the gate to the main room after the third entry, except for the two neat and solemn guards patrolling the house, Shao Shang did not see a single servant or maid.

It is more like a military camp than the official residence of the dignitaries.

Even cooler than the mansion was the atmosphere of visiting a doctor.

Shao Shang and Lou Yao were very enthusiastic, and Lou Tai servant was also very sincere, but Ling Budo seemed to have a magical ability. No matter what he started, he could talk about the topic with just a few words. After a while, the three of them had to withdraw. come out.

Lou Yao thought that the elder brother of the Ling family must be seriously injured and should be given a good rest.

Lou Tai Pu heaved a sigh of relief and said in his heart: Guan Ling's icy appearance doesn't matter, and he has no idea about how to deal with his nephew's fiancée.

However, Shao Shang sensed the displeasure under Ling Budo's polite and indifferent face, and thought that maybe he wanted to tell him about Yanhui Pagoda, but Lou's uncle and nephew were not easy to speak.

On the second day, Shao Shang searched a few cans of wound medicine from his father's warehouse and planned to visit the doctor again. Who knew that Father Cheng and Mrs. Xiao insisted on going with him. Shao Shang had no choice but to set out with his parents.

Ling Budo was a little more enthusiastic this time, but there was only this difference -

"Fortunately, brother, you passed by, otherwise Shao Shang would have fallen off the cliff." "Well, if I were not here, Shao Shang would have died.

" Fortunately, Lord Ling passed by, otherwise the little girl would have fallen off the cliff." "If I'm not here, what should I do?"

Gait, a certain science girl, can't understand this ancient art of conversation, so she can only laugh on the sidelines . , the Cheng couple looked complicated. Soon, we couldn't talk anymore that day, and the family of three went home like this.

On the third day, Shao Shang, who had amazing perseverance, wanted to go to Ling Mansion again. This time, Mrs. Xiao directly sent the third son Shao Gong to follow her daughter. Shao Shang wanted to get rid of him several times on the road, but Cheng Shao Gong said bluntly: "You are careful, my mother said, you are going to marry, in order to prevent melon Tian Li Xia, you are not allowed to get too close to Master Ling!"

Shao Shang ! Sigh: Why does no one believe that she and Ling Budo are pure.

Just when Shao Shang thought that this visit was going to be a waste, he found that the Ling Mansion was very lively today, with horses and cars parked in front of the door, and the ice cellar-like courtyard on weekdays was full of guards and entourages.

The smiling young Liang Qiufei was the one who personally opened the door for Shao Shang. He seemed not surprised that Shao Shang had his elder brother with him, and also enthusiastically informed: "Today, His Royal Highness the Prince has brought a few distinguished guests to visit my lord, and he is currently The banquet in the front yard." The

prince was here, and since he couldn't go around and pretend he didn't see it, the two brothers and sisters hurried to meet in the main hall of the front yard, and when they looked up, Shao Shang saw Yuan Shen was among them, and couldn't help but be stunned. Yuan Shen, dressed in a moon-white Confucian robe, was elegant and handsome, and smiled at her from afar.

Today's prince is very charitable. Tuantuan's face has a row of short beards. Seeing Cheng's brothers and sisters bowing down in court, he hastily helped them up, and also praised Cheng Shi's two sentences: "Public loyalty to the country, courageous and persevering." people' common language.

No matter how naughty Cheng Shaogong was, he was only a fourteen-year-old boy. At this time, he was so excited to see the prince that he couldn't even speak smoothly, so he stuttered a few words, "His Royal Highness, ministers and ministers...". Young Master Huafu burst out laughing.

When the brothers and sisters looked, it was actually Ban Xiaohou whom they had met at Lou's house that day. Ban Xiaohou laughed, and immediately cupped his hands apologetically: "I'm rude, don't take offense, Third Young Master Cheng, I love to laugh since I was a child, and I didn't come for you."

Cheng Shao Gong was not angry, and smiled: "It's okay, change it. I'm going to laugh too." At this time, the nervousness passed, and he regained his naturalness and ease.

Yuan Shen glanced at the slender girl who had bowed her head and sat down since she came in, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness has ear blessings today, this third son of Cheng is good at blowing xun, I have heard friends praise it several times, the straight way is ancient. The style of a gentleman." The

prince saw Cheng Shaogong's open-mindedness and cheerfulness, handsome and elegant, and after hearing Yuan Shen's praise, he felt a little love in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's very good, very good, young palace, you are also at the table, and I Let's have a drink."

Cheng Shaogong was very willing in his heart, but he wondered: "Today, this minister is here to accompany the younger sister to thank Lord Ling for saving his life." The

prince smiled kindly: "Zisheng is injured and cannot drink alcohol. Take a break and let the young lady thank you..." Before the

words were finished, a sharp-sounding young gentleman said, "Zisheng helped me at will, I am afraid that some people will pretend to be thankful and act as close as cow leather. If you stick it on like this, it won't be tangled up."

Shao Shang suddenly raised his head, all the young masters in the hall only felt that the snow in front of them was bright and dazzling, and they all thought to themselves, this little girl from Cheng's life is not bad, Lou Good luck boy.

Yuan Shen's face changed greatly, and he was about to sneer at this man, when a grandson of the king who was sitting beside him suddenly said, "Wang Long, you dare to arrange Eleven Lang, you are tired of life. He hung you under the high eaves of Feifeng Pavilion and blew the cold wind for two hours, have you forgotten?"

"You?!" The son named Wang Long was embarrassed, and his angry look became more and more similar to his sister Wang Ji.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the prince whispered: "Aaron, shut up! Fourth brother, what are you talking about?!"

Cheng Shaogong was still angry and wanted to seek justice for his younger sister: "Wang Gongzi, you What I said just now..."

"This is the prince?" Shao Shang suddenly said, politely, "The little girl and the sister have met..."

Wang Long and the fourth prince stopped arguing, and the princes also turned their heads to listen. girl talking.

"...It was at the Wan family banquet. The first time we met, the two of us quarreled." The girl smiled slightly, "It was for Lord Ling at the time. I didn't expect to see Wang Gongzi for the first time today, and it was for Lord Ling again. There's a quarrel." With a

'puff', Ban Xiaohou couldn't help laughing again.

Yuan Shen couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly made up his knife: "Master Ban Xiaohou loved to laugh since he was a child, but he didn't go there for you, Prince Wang. Don't blame me." The

fourth prince also smiled and said, "Wang Long, if you still want to talk about Mrs. Cheng , please tell me about the Wanjia fall from the bridge that day."

During the dinner, all the sons laughed lightly, thinking to themselves: Among the little girls in the city who stick to Ling Budo like cowhide, the first one is not Is it your sister Wang Ji, you are too embarrassed to talk about others. The other little girls chased Ling Budo and joined in the fun. After that, they both got married, but your sister is a tangled mess.

At this time, Liang Qiufei came out from the back impatiently, with a smile on his face, bowed and said, "My lord heard that Mrs. Cheng came to thank me, and asked my subordinates to invite people in."

Yuan Shen froze in his heart . The strange feeling that I had when I was away from the courtyard came back again.

Shao Shang gave everyone a dignified salute and retired.

Originally, Cheng Shao Gong could not follow him, but after Wang Long said so, he would never let the younger sister get a wishful reputation, so he had to follow up to thank him no matter what.

Liang Qiufei could only watch the Cheng family brothers and sisters walk behind him, and couldn't help but glared at Wang Long over there.

Ling Budoubt seemed to have just showered and groomed today, his fair complexion was tinged with jade-colored moisture, and his long black hair was draped over the snow-white satin shirt. He was just reclining on the Hu bed, like an ancient painting depicting a fallen city.

He had already heard the voice outside, leaning against the hidden capsule quietly, no emotion on his face.

With Cheng Shaogong present, Shao Shang couldn't talk about the Yanhui Pagoda, so the three of them exchanged a few words in such a lukewarm manner.

Shao Shang felt apologetic in his heart, looked sideways at his brother, then raised his head to look at Ling Budo, and whispered, "Actually, I have always..." She wanted to say, except for the first time, she always wanted to come alone I'm sick, but I can't always make the trip, it's really not intentional to shirk.

"You don't need to say it, I know." Ling Budo said softly.

Cheng Shaogong sternly sneered, and secretly complained: Since you already know what you don't say, what nonsense are you guys talking about!

"Does your arm still hurt?" Shao Shang looked concerned.

Ling Budo smiled and said, "You only asked me whether it hurt or not from the beginning to the end, but not whether it was a hindrance to the bow horse?"

Shao Shangchun laughed sincerely: "It's fine if it doesn't hurt, can you ride the horse bow ? What's the point?"

Ling Budo stared back, his eyes soft as water.

Cheng Shaogong was about to cough twice to interrupt the sincere atmosphere, so Ling Budo gave him a light glance, he felt cold inexplicably, and hurriedly shut up.

Ling Budo turned his head, and was about to say a few words, when a loud shout came from outside. A drunken voice was talking, and it came over intermittently-"...I have seen this little lady Cheng, meeting people... Eleven..."

Cheng Shaogong's face turned black, and he glared at Ling Budo He glanced at Shaoshang, then got up and strode outside, determined to defend the younger sister.

Shao Shang was frightened and looked at Ling Budo in a panic. Liang Qiufei, who was standing beside him, said in a low voice, "Young lord, why don't you..."

Ling Budo raised his hand to stop the young man from continuing, and looked at the girl gently: "When you and I meet, except in Tu Gaoshan a few days ago, there are others present. Don't be afraid, I will tell you."

Shaoshang slowed down . Tone, Cai Cai was also in a hurry, at this time, after calmly thinking about it, it was really the case, so he gathered up the courage to stand up, and said loudly: "I'll go first!" He

strode out of the outer hall and saw Cheng Shao Gong carrying a The man with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks shouted angrily: "...Master Huang, how can you talk like this!"

Wang Long fanned the flames, laughing loudly: "...Young Master Cheng, even if your sister has done it, you are still afraid of being attacked. What do you say?!"

Everyone in the banquet watched the play with a smile. Cheng Shaogong raised his fist and wanted to fight, the prince, the fourth prince and Yuan Shen all stood up and stopped. The difference is that the Crown Prince wants to stop Cheng Shao Gong from beating his cousin, Yuan Shen wants to stop Huang Yang and continue to talk about Shao Shang's slanderousness, and the Fourth Prince wants to stop everyone.

"Young Master Huang!" Shaoshang raised his voice, walked straight to the crowd, bowed and saluted, "Tell me, when and where have you seen me meet someone privately?"

Everyone stopped talking and moving. Watch quietly.

"Young businessman!" Cheng Shaogong said anxiously, "Don't make a fool of yourself!"

"Although I am a little girl, I know how to sit upright, Mr. Huang, but it's okay to say it!" In other words, the more you think about it, the more confident you are. Unless this surnamed Huang bumps into her and Ling Buxuan in Yanhui Tower, there is no evidence of a private meeting!

Ling Budo was already standing under the porch. Hearing this, he stopped and listened with a smile.

Huang Yang was a little sober at this time, and seeing that he couldn't come to the stage, he had to say loudly: "Twice! One time at the gate of the iron shop on the edge of the city, and one time outside the mill outside the city. I saw you. Talking to a man. The man stood with his back inward twice, but looking at his body, it should be the same person!"

Ah? ! Shao Shang's brain suddenly loosened, and after a while, he went to look at Yuan Shen who was beside him.

I saw that Yuan Shen was also a little sluggish, completely caught off guard.

"Miss Cheng, don't say it's not you! Don't say that the man is your elder brother! I can't see his face, but he is taller than your elder brothers!" Huang Yang saw that the girl did not deny it immediately, Feeling proud, "You even drove a small red-gold car. My servant and I both saw it really! Say, who is that man, is it Eleven Lang! Haha, haha, oops..."

Huang Yangzheng Laughing, he caught a glimpse of Ling Budo who was covered in frost on the porch, the laughter stopped abruptly, and he was terrified.

"Let me tell you." Yuan Shen took a few steps forward, inexplicably cheerful and excited, but his attitude was doubled and gentle, "His Royal Highness, the fourth prince, the third son of Cheng, everyone, the man Cheng Xiaoniang met twice, is the right one. It's down."

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Shao Shang was stunned.

Liang Qiufei stared blankly at Ling Budo, only to feel that his young master was already full of chills.

Yuan Shen bowed to the Cheng brothers and sisters, smiled and said, "It's about the daughter, it's about the teacher..."

Before he could explain, Shao Shang said loudly: "This matter involves the Cheng family, so it's inconvenient to go into details. But please The two His Royal Highnesses and all the young masters believe that the two meetings I met with Young Master Yuan were purely for the sake of our elders!"

Huang Yang and Wang Long were speechless, and the rest of them all had unexpected expressions.

Shao Shang still felt that it was not enough, he stood straight at the door, and said straightly: "There is a world and a land, if the two meetings between me and Mr. Yuan are at all ambiguous and private, if you ask me to walk out of this mansion two hundred feet, I will be arrested. Car crashed to death! How?"

After making this very popular oath, Shao Shang resigned to all the sons in the hall, bowed to the prince and the fourth prince, and then waved his sleeves and left with satisfaction, even his brother Forgot to take away.

Cheng Shao Gong silently folded his fists, looked at Ling Budo, whose cold face turned a little under the porch, and then turned to look at Yuan Shen, whose face was cold in the hall, he suddenly felt that he knew too much.

...

The matter is naturally hidden from the emperor, who has been paying close attention to Ling Budo for the past few days.

After listening to the report of the spies, the emperor slapped the imperial case with hatred that iron was not steel—how could it be so easy for Erlang to spread scandals, and he could be seen by anyone at the entrance of Tiepu Mill. But why is no one spreading the scandal about the adopted son? If the scene of the cliff saving the beauty was seen and passed on by word of mouth, wouldn't it be... Wouldn't it be...

The upright emperor came back to his senses and decided to stop this immorality Lenovo.

But at this moment, including the emperor, Ling Budo, Shaoshang, Yuan Shen, and even Lou Cheng, did not know that the change would come so quickly.
