When the two returned to the hall, they immediately received various sights from all parties. The civil servants of the Tianqi were naturally disagreeing. It was really against ethics that the princess was so close to the princess before she got married. However, the generals who had always had a weak sense of existence were much more generous and kind to Chu Ling. Perhaps it was because of the Northern Jin people in the face of the hall, or maybe it was just because of the strength Chu Ling had shown just now. In short, the generals of the Tianqi, led by the commander of the front hall of the palace, were very calm and kind to Chu Ling, and there was no such righteous indignation as if the civil servants had done something shameful.

Although there are military generals who do not pay as much attention to as literati, it is more about Chu Ling's ability and attitude towards the tribe that makes the generals feel comfortable.

In this world, life is not easy as a military general. Tianqi has been focusing on literature over military affairs since the beginning of the founding of the dynasty. Now that Qi is forced to settle down, the literati and doctors who have the right to speak naturally will not feel that the problem lies with themselves. It must be that the general is incompetent, which leads to Tianqi losing consecutive battles and finally retreating to Lingcang Jiangnan.

Even though the generals were frustrated, they could not refute for themselves.

They say they are not greedy for life and fear of death? They say they are not incompetent, but they are too restrictive on the battlefield and are unable to exert their power? Who believes that war is the business of military generals, and defeat is naturally the blame for military generals.

Many people forgot that compared with the military generals of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the rights of the generals of the Tianqi were too weak. They did not even have the power to mobilize troops, and there was even a practice of sending military supervisors in the army. Tianqi learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty and curbed the possibility of eunuchs' chaos in politics, and the military supervisors were always served by civil servants. Generals who did not have the power to mobilize troops and civil servants who had almost the same or even higher power as generals were simply a tragedy on the battlefield.

Many generals were discouraged and returned to the field with angrily, and some could only go with the flow. In addition, some were really a waste of time, so the soldiers and horses of Apocalypse will only get worse and worse, and they will never get better and better. The weaker the combat power of the Apocalypse, the more defeats they will be. The endless vicious cycle has now become a knot that no one can untie.

Nangong Yuyue's face was not very good, but this was simply for Jun Wuhuan. Emperor Yongjia's expression of looking at Jun Wuhuan was much more relaxed. Chu Ling was right. With Nangong Yuyue's comparison, Emperor Yongjia immediately liked Jun Wuhuan much. After all, the eldest son Changli had no shortcomings except for his poor health. Even the identity and origin of outsiders criticized him was not a problem with Emperor Yongjia. After all, he already knew Jun Wuhuan's life experience and Jun Ao's son. If it were not for the Jun family's destruction, the general Jun Ao's legitimate son would be more than enough to be with the princess. Moreover, because of the incident back then, Emperor Yongjia actually felt a little guilty towards Jun Wuhuan.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Emperor Yongjia waved to Chu Ling with a smile.

Chu Ling walked up to the hall, stood in front of Emperor Yongjia and smiled, "Father."

Emperor Yongjia said: "I just told me something in the Northern Jin Dynasty. What do you think?"

Chu Ling blinked and looked back at the place where the Northern Jin envoy was sitting, "What's the matter that makes my father embarrassed?"

Emperor Yongjia shook his head and said, "It's not difficult, it's just... the Northern Jin envoy said that he wanted to use martial arts to make friends and learn from our Apocalypse soldiers."

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the bottom with a smile and whispered: "I'm so brave."

Emperor Yongjia was a little surprised, "Oh? Qing'er thinks it is feasible?"

Chu Ling was not in a hurry to reply, but just asked, "Father, did they say how they plan to have a conversation?"

Emperor Yongjia said: "It is said that the Northern Jin State Master is a rare master in the world. They said that the Northern Jin State Master wanted to learn the martial arts of the Apocalypse master." Chu Ling thought for a moment and said: "It's not impossible. Nangong Yuyue is indeed powerful, but the commander of the Imperial Front Command should be able to fight." If not, Jun Wuhuan is still there.

Emperor Yongjia was a little hesitant, "It's feasible?" It's not that he looked down on his subordinates, but that Emperor Yongjia really didn't want to embarrass people in front of the Northern Jin people anymore. Basically, in terms of military affairs, the Ancestral Qi people have never taken any advantage in the hands of the Clans in recent years. Chu Ling said: "I have never fought with Commander Feng, but Xiao Shi said that his martial arts are very good."

The martial arts of the commander of the Imperial Front Commander were naturally great, otherwise Emperor Yongjia would not be at ease to hand over the huge imperial guards to his hands. Hearing Chu Ling say this, Emperor Yongjia nodded and said, "Well, this matter will be discussed later. Looking back, you will see Feng Zheng and see the situation."

Chu Ling chuckled because of Emperor Yongjia's excessive caution, but didn't say anything more, just nodded, "Yes, Father."

Perhaps because of Nangong Yuyue's suppression, the people of the Clan did not make any more trouble at the banquet. But Chu Ling knew very well that they would not give up so easily.

The banquet lasted until late at night. Chu Ling did not live in the palace but followed Duke Xiangguo out of the palace. Duke Xiangguo's mansion and Princess Shenyou's mansion were only separated by a wall, so it was convenient to walk with him. Jun Wuhuan watched Chu Ling get on the carriage in person, and then turned around and wanted to leave. Nangong Yuyue walked out slowly behind him and said with a little sarcastic feeling: "The future prince consort and Princess Shenyou are indeed deeply in love, and they can't bear to separate for a moment."

People passing by were all looking at the handsome and extraordinary master, but Nangong Yuyue obviously didn't care what others thought of him. She walked slowly to Jun Wuhuan, snorted and whispered: "Jun Wuhuan, it's not that easy for you to be the prince consort. Whose Sheng Sheng belongs to?"

Jun Wuhuan glanced at him lightly and warned in a low voice: "Nangong, I'm in a bad mood recently, you'd better not mess with me." Nangong Yuyue said provocatively: "I've messed with you, what can you do?"

Jun Wuhuan looked at him silently, and after a while, he turned around and said, "Then you can try it."

Looking at Jun Wuhuan's back as he turned around and left, Nangong Yuyue couldn't help but frown. After a while, he turned his head and asked the guards who were following him, "What do he mean?"

The guard quickly lowered his head and said, "I don't know." The two big men fought each other, and they would just get killed if they got involved.

"Waste." Nangong Yuyue said lightly, and walked outside. Her eyes swept across the people of the Anxin Palace who were getting on the carriage not far away, and stayed on the weak woman who was being held by someone for a moment, frowned slightly.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Although he was scolded, the white-clothed guard was not very afraid. After being with Nangong Yuyue for many years, he could still tell when he was really angry when he was going to take action. When he just cursed casually, he actually didn't take it seriously.

Nangong Yuyue said lightly: "Let her come to see me."

The white-clothed guard also saw the weak girl and frowned slightly. Of course he knew the girl's identity, but the princess Shenyou was so lucky that she was at the peak of her holy favor. The girl's situation was a little embarrassed. Although she thought about it, he replied very smoothly: "Yes, young master."

As a princess, Chu Ling had his own carriage, but when she got on the carriage, Duke Xiangguo also got on the carriage of the princess's mansion. Duke Xiangguo is the princess's uncle, so naturally there is no need to avoid anything. Too much caring about these red tape gives people a sense of desire to cover up.

The wall light fixed to a corner of the carriage was dyed with a faint flame to illuminate the carriage that should have been dim. Duke Xiangguo looked at Chu Ling who was leaning against the window and looked casually at Chu Ling outside, and asked, "Did you expect what happened tonight?"

Chu Ling turned around and smiled at him, "I'm a little prepared, so don't worry, uncle."

Duke Xiangguo sighed and said, "How can you not worry? Just wait and see. The morning court tomorrow will definitely be lively."

Chu Ling thought about the situation that would happen tomorrow morning court, and couldn't help but smile, "These adults are so uneasy. Isn't it just that they have been appointed as General Tuoba as their army? How could they be so anxious?"

Duke Xiangguo said angrily: "If they are not calm, they will start to make trouble tonight." When he remembered that he had just learned about his niece's identity, he had not come back to his senses for two days. However, there is no need to publicize such things.

Chu Ling held his chin and smiled, "I don't think they have reacted yet."

Duke Xiangguo was helpless, "Forget it, this kind of thing will be broken sooner or later. In general, the Northern Jin Dynasty suffered a greater loss than us."

Chu Ling frowned slightly and sighed softly, "I'm afraid that it was just a good thing for Tuoba Liang. He is now trying to take back the military power in my master's hands. My master..." Xiangguo Duke looked at her and said softly, "I know Tuoba Xingye is very good to you, but Ah Ling, in Tianqi... You'd better not let people hear that you are called Tuoba Xingye. It's not good to you or him." Tuoba Xingye values ​​Chu Ling as a disciple. Xiangguo Duke, who had been in Shangjing for a while, had seen it with his own eyes. At that time, he even felt happy for Chu Ling. It was a great luck that a girl from Apocalypse could be protected and valued by such a person in a place like Shangjing. But now, the identity of the master and apprentice will make them feel embarrassed.

Chu Ling was silent, of course she knew that Duke Xiangguo had good intentions.

After a long time, I talked a few times and said, "Uncle, I may have done the first time to become a master, and I regret it in my life... the luckiest thing I regret."

"Why?" Duke Xiangguo did not think that Chu Ling's behavior was not bad at the time when he was a disciple. Tuoba Xingye had a high position and great martial arts skills. He could not only protect Chu Ling, who was young and weak at that time, but also teach her the best martial arts. Being taught by a person like Tuoba Xingye for a year is probably more useful than being an ordinary master for ten years. Even if his identity is leaked now, it is not impossible to settle it. In general, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Chu Ling chuckled helplessly and said, "I have always had the ability to protect myself, so there are other ways to learn martial arts. At the beginning... Except for Aduo, I was actually selfish in my apprenticeship, and I never thought about it for my master." I never thought so far. From the beginning, she had never really taken this princess' identity seriously. She could take the position of a master in the North and had a place to settle down in the north and take care of Aduo nearby. In Chu Ling's opinion, it was naturally a good thing to win multiple goals. At that time, I was thinking about it, just find a chance to get away with it when I became a master. In fact, if she thought more, there were ways to learn martial arts. At least she had a good relationship with Jun Wuhuan. Even if she didn't have the current relationship, she had some bargaining chips to find a master to teach martial arts.

At that time, she had no relatives and no reason with Tuoba Xingye, so naturally she would not consider what trouble he would have if a general of the Northern Jin Dynasty accepted a Princess Tianqi as his apprentice. She thought more about hiding her identity and how convenient it would be to benefit. Now... she really regrets it. The human heart... it is still fleshy. Chu Ling smiled bitterly helplessly.

The Duke of Xiangguo frowned slightly and said for a while: "Even if you are not a disciple of Tuoba Xingye, will Tuoba Liang let Tuoba Xingye go?"

Chu Ling shook his head. As long as Tuoba Xingye refused to surrender to Tuoba Liang completely, Tuoba Liang would not let her go. No, it should be said that even if Tuoba Xingye chose to be loyal to Tuoba Liang, Tuoba Liang would not let him go. In Tuoba Liang's eyes, Tuoba Xingye, who was originally loyal to the former emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty, was not reliable. Not to mention, Tuoba Xingye was too famous and was also a branch of the Tuoba royal family. In Tuoba Liang's eyes, it was a natural threat.

Xiangguo said justice: "A Ling usually sees things clearly, but when he encounters his own affairs, he will inevitably be unable to see them. If you have always had knots like this, how can you face Tuoba Xingye in the future?"

Chu Ling lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I know uncle, this... I will probably see him one day before I can understand it. But don't worry, I know what I should do. Master also knows what he wants to do." Just like Qin Shu also understands what he wants to do. In this world, everyone has their own position. Therefore, many people who had nothing to do naturally became opponents of each other. But Tuoba Xingye was the only person who made her feel a little guilty when she remembered.

Duke Xiangguo nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. Put the matter of Tuoba Xingye aside first. In the past few days, you'd better pay more attention to the people from the Northern Jin Dynasty. I will pay attention to you in the court."

Chu Ling nodded and thought for a moment, "I guess Lord Shangguan will come to see me tomorrow."

Xiangguo said justice: "Shangguan Chengyi, although his family affairs are a bit messy, is still clear about major matters. You can talk to him carefully, he knows the importance of it."

Chu Ling nodded and said yes.

The carriage suddenly shook slightly, and then slowly stopped.

"Princess, here." The sound of egrets came from outside.

Chu Ling got up and walked out, and ordered: "Send my uncle back."

"Yes, princess."

In the early morning, the restaurants in Pingjing were very lively. Early in the morning, the storytellers changed new stories and talked about the story of the Princess Shenyou. Of course, these people had never really seen the Princess Shenyou when they went to Beijing. They were all compiled out of thin air, which was a scattered story.

People who eat morning court don’t care whether it’s true or false, and they all listen to it with great enthusiasm.

Xia Yueting was surrounded by a group of young people and asked one after another: "Brother Xia, is Princess Shenyou really the Princess Wu'an in the Northern Jin Dynasty?"

"Brother Yueting, I heard that Princess Shenyou is as beautiful as a flower. Is it really a great martial arts skill?"

"Have you heard of it? His Royal Highness, the princess, had sold all the legs of Li Dan from the Li family." Someone said.

"That's right. I heard that Princess Shenyou was even more powerful when she went to Beijing. Many experts in Beijing could not beat her. They just discounted Li Dan's legs, which showed that they were showing mercy." Someone sighed, but this sigh always made people feel a bit gloating.

"Cough cough." Someone coughed a little awkwardly. Everyone looked at the coughing people and saw Li Dan standing at the stairs with a faint look. Li Dan had not appeared in the circle of scholars like Pingjing for many days. Now, when he saw the handsome and talented boy in the past, he described his thin and pale youth, with a bit of undispersed depression between his eyebrows, and he did not look like the pride of heaven who was famous for Pingjing.

Xia Yueting was a little embarrassed. He was not good at socializing now. When he saw Li Dan, he felt even more unaware of what he said. Although he didn't see Li Dan with his own eyes, he could guess some of it afterwards. Although Li Dan was arrogant and self-righteous about his talent, he was more afraid that his princess cousin wanted to provoke trouble and kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

In the past, Xia Yueting was very envious and admired people like Li Dan. Now, seeing his depressed and down-and-out appearance, he really couldn't do anything to put down the wrongdoing.

Li Dan was obviously stunned. This teahouse is not gorgeous or famous in Pingjing, but is just because it is quiet and elegant. These days he would come here to have tea early every morning and sit alone thinking about things, but he did not expect that the teahouse, which had few guests in the past, would have so many people today. Moreover, there were people from the Duke of Xiangguo Mansion.

Li Dan quickly came to his senses, nodded lightly to Xia Yueting and walked towards the position he had used to. Chu Ling didn't take any serious action at the time, but Li Dan's injury was almost healed, but he walked a little slower, and it seemed that there would be no sequelae.

When everyone saw Li Dan walking aside, they were relieved. Now they knew Li Dan's situation. Although Li Dan was the best son of the Li family, he offended Emperor Yongjia and Princess Shenyou. It can be foreseeable that the people in the Duke of Xiangguo's mansion would not like him. He was punished by His Majesty for one term and was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. The future career of the officialdom is probably going to be bumpy. The Li family's elders criticized the Li family for being incompetent instructive and have begun to focus on cultivating Li Dan's two younger brothers and cousins. Everyone knows that Li Dan is probably given up by the family.

Even if the children of aristocratic families are very talented, most of the young people who can go to the officialdom more than others will have to rely on the support of their families. After all, who can pass the imperial examinations is not a talent from a thousand. If there is no family support, why should you give you a good position? Who will provide you with the officialdom? Who will teach you the rules of the officialdom? Those who are helpless behind their true poor backgrounds have suffered so much hardships and detours for these things. And these have nothing to do with the Li family before His Majesty forgets Li Dan’s previous affairs.

"Brother Yueting, what does Princess have to say about Li Dan?" someone asked in a low voice.

Xia Yueting glanced at him and said in confusion: "What did the princess say?"

"Has the princess not mentioned anything?" The other party obviously disbelief. Xia Yueting said, "The princess is busy. This matter has been over. What else should I say?"

Everyone was a little disappointed. Li Dan was too outstanding, which inevitably made people feel a little uncomfortable. Now that he is in a downturn, there are naturally many people who want to take advantage of the situation or gloat. Even if scholars want to save face and do something in public, it is still okay to secretly laugh at him in private.

How could Xia Yueting not know what these people were thinking? Although he passed the scholarship at a young age, he was not popular among the children of these aristocratic families. He was not the parent-child of Duke Xiangguo, and the real aristocratic children looked down on him. And those Qingliu scholars felt that he was from a noble family and did not accept him. Until recently, it was reported that Princess Shenyou valued his cousin quite much, and his popularity suddenly improved.

Xia Yueting was a little impatient and thought about finding an excuse to leave first. But he saw Li Dan, who was originally sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up and walked towards them. His injuries had not healed yet, and he walked very slowly but his pace was very firm. Everyone suddenly became quiet and looked at Li Dan, wondering what he wanted to do.

Li Dan walked to the table and stood still, looking at Xia Yueting and said, "I want to see the princess, but I wonder if I can introduce it on my behalf?"

Everyone was shocked, and Xia Yueting blinked and couldn't come back to his senses. After a while, he said: "Mr. Li... If you want to see the princess, why not come to the door to see him?"

Li Dan curled the corner of his lower lip slightly, but Xia Yueting quickly understood. Not everyone can enter the Princess's Mansion, and even if he handed in the book, he would not be able to deliver it to the princess. It was not that the people in the Princess' Mansion were more respectful than to look down on people, but if all the posts were to be delivered to the princess, I was afraid that the princess would not be able to deal with these trivial matters every day. The existence of the chief manager was to handle these miscellaneous matters for the princess. As Li Dan was a real person, unless there was something really urgent, his book was indeed not qualified to deliver it to the princess. And Li Dan obviously did not intend to talk to the chief manager or the chief manager of the princess's Mansion about his thoughts.

Xia Yueting hesitated for a moment and said, "I can only ask the princess for the sake of the princess, but the princess sees me or not..."

"Thank you." Li Dan nodded.
