"Ling'er." Xia Ziying shouted in surprise, and quickly hugged Ling'er. In the past two days after leaving Ling'er, she was worried from the bottom of her heart. In the days without Ling'er, she seemed to be missing something.
It seems like I have something. I always feel mentally empty.
Now that it's better, Ling'er is back, and he doesn't feel how empty this place is anymore.
Mu Lianlong looked at them as if they were two sisters, so close to each other. He immediately coughed and said, "Hey, stop being so clingy and talk to each other."
Ling'er let go of Xia Ziying, and suddenly said strangely in Xia Ziying's ear: "The emperor seems to be jealous, that's why." After that, the two people looked at each other and smiled slyly.
"Don't think that I don't know what you are talking about. I can tell you that this is not the previous palace, let alone your home. This is the harem of the palace. The water here is so deep that you can't guess, so you can take care of yourself.
Don't make a wrong move. It will be too late to regret it by then. Of course I will protect you, but it is impossible to guarantee that some people will not hurt others with hidden arrows. Do you understand what I mean?" Mu Lianlong said sternly.
At that time, my eyes were full of tenderness as I looked at the carefree woman in front of me.
"Well, I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I will be careful!" Xia Ziying looked at Mu Lianlong and said without any confidence.
Seeing her look like that, Mu Lianlong actually smiled bitterly, then stared at Ling'er and said: "Ling'er, your master, you understand, take good care of her."
Ling'er looked at Mu Lianlong and then at Xia Ziying, and finally nodded seriously.
Seeing Ling'er's serious nod, Mu Lianlong smiled happily and took the people away. Before leaving, he said to Xia Ziying: "I have something to do recently. I'll see you again after a while."
With that said, he left.
Watching him leave, Xia Ziying grabbed Ling'er's arm. Suddenly she seemed to have changed into a different person. Holding Ling'er in hand, she began to tell how she behaved today and how she bluffed the Queen Mother and Xiao Ling.
Stunned for a moment.
Ling'er listened carefully, her eyes widened, and she clapped her hands repeatedly when she heard the wonderful points.
The two of them kept laughing together, as happy as if they were the only ones in the world.
When Mu Lianlong returned to the imperial study, he looked at the official documents on the table, glanced at them, and frowned. He had just ascended the throne not long ago, and the country was not yet peaceful. At this time, he encountered such a thing. It was really
It makes it difficult for him to make a decision, what should he do?
Suddenly he walked out of the imperial study room and came outside. He looked at the sky and heard a melodious voice that was sharp and exciting. Suddenly, a black shadow fell next to Mu Lianlong.
"Master." A deep voice sounded from behind. Mu Lianlong did not turn around, but said slowly, "Has Meng Qing contacted you recently?"
The black shadow shook his head and said to him: "Since the master came to the throne, he has not sent any messages. It seems that he has lost contact. I don't know what happened!"
"Oh? Have you ever searched for it?" Mu Lianlong asked strangely.
"Well, it seems to have disappeared without a trace." When the black shadow said this, he paused and continued: "A very important figure came to Meng State recently, known as a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. The villain once coached with him
I tried it, but it failed.”
After hearing these words, Mu Lianlong understood why Meng Qing disappeared without a trace after he wrote the letter. He must have sent this secret letter when he was dying.
Seeing Nightingale's sad face, the muscles on Mu Lianlong's face couldn't help but tremble, and he said to him, "Okay, you can go down and heal your wounds. If anything happens, I'm looking for you." After that, he moved towards him.
Walked into the imperial study room.
After the nightingale glanced at the king's back, she shook her teeth and disappeared with a "whoosh".
Mu Lianlong returned to the dragon chair and looked at the secret letter in front of him. He couldn't let it go for a long time. The letter said that Emperor Meng was unwilling to fail in the last attack. This time he was actively planning to attack again, and he would spread the word across the world.
We are recruiting talented people and are actively preparing for war. We hope Mu Lianlong will be ready soon in case he is attacked by surprise.
I just heard what Nightingale said. It turns out that Emperor Meng was recruiting talented people, and he actually recruited such a talented man in both civil and military affairs. He was able to injure Nightingale. His strength should not be underestimated. It seemed that he had to be careful.
Now we have just found out that his martial arts skills are very impressive. After all, the war between the two countries does not depend on how high the general's martial arts skills are, but on teamwork and the overall combat effectiveness of the soldiers. Therefore, you still have to prepare for this versatile person.
Let’s take a look and see what his brilliance in command is.
Now Nightingale has been injured, and she cannot go deep behind enemy lines. After all, she is the king of a country, and she cannot fight like before. She must always remember that she is the spiritual leader of the entire Mu country. Now she is no longer just
It is not only himself, but the incarnation of the entire Mu Kingdom.
Thinking of this, I was pondering and wondering how to do it. In any case, now is a hurdle in front of me. This is the first test since taking the throne. I must not take it lightly.
Of course, the most conservative approach is to stand still, send people to inquire for information, hold on to the city without giving up an inch of ground, wait for the enemy's army to arrive, and then lead the troops to fight to eliminate the enemy.
But there was a fire in his heart, a raging fire. The fire that could not be suppressed was raging fiercely, as if it might burst out at any time.
Finally he calmed down, because he understood that the responsibility on his shoulders was so heavy, and any irrational decision could destroy all his achievements, so he had to calm down, tightly wrapped in clothes, and stayed silent.
Looking at the stars in the sky, some people often say that every star in the sky represents a person. He really doesn't know if his own star is the brightest and can illuminate the entire country of Mu.
Early the next morning, before going to court, I heard someone shouting not far away. The sound was loud and loud. It sounded like many people were practicing something together. I thought it was the guards.
We were on patrol, training with each other, but when we listened carefully, we realized that something was wrong. The voice that came over was actually a woman’s voice, which sounded a bit incredible! So, he got up in a hurry and shouted: "Here comes someone.
.”
The eunuch came over in a hurry, and when he saw the emperor's curious look, he knew what he wanted to ask, "Has the emperor been awakened by the noise outside?"
"What's going on outside? There seem to be a lot of people shouting together. Don't they know this is the deep palace? Why are you shouting here? Is it because you think your work is too long?" As he said this, Mu Lianlong's expression changed.
very bad.
The eunuch said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I have already inquired. It is none other than Concubine Xia who is doing some kind of dance with the Queen Mother and some eunuchs and maids. It looks quite strange."
When Mu Lianlong heard this, he was stunned and asked eagerly: "Dancing?"
The eunuch nodded in embarrassment, and Mu Lianlong collapsed instantly. He never thought that his heart would be so tormented that he would lead his royal wife to dance. After saying that, he was dumbfounded. People gathered in the square outside the palace.
There were hundreds of people there, and all of them were following Xia Ziying, constantly learning and practicing some weird dances. It looked almost the same as what he saw on the flower boat that day.
The most dazzling thing among them is that his own princess is ranked first, dancing gracefully with Xia Ziying. Although her posture is very inelegant, it still looks coherent.
Mu Lianlong walked over, and the eunuch on the side shouted: "The emperor has arrived!"
Everyone who was dancing below immediately turned around in a hurry, kowtowed to Mu Lianlong, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Everyone was sweating profusely.
Up they have been dancing for a long time.
"Ping Shen!" Mu Lianlong said in a low voice, his voice indifferent.
The Queen Mother stood there, watching the Emperor coming, and walked over. Mu Lianlong quickly took the towel handed over by the servant, walked to the Queen Mother, and said: "Your Majesty, look at you, you are so tired.
Damn it, your body and bones are not good to begin with, so don’t do these things." As she was talking, Xia Ziying had already walked over and lowered her head. She knew that Mu Lianlong must be very angry now and had already done it.
Be prepared to be scolded.
After hearing the Empress Dowager talking about western Zhejiang, Mu Lianlong smiled awkwardly, "It seems that it still has some effect. It seems that I mistakenly blamed Concubine Xia." After saying that, he turned his head, looked at Xia Ziying and said: "
Concubine Xia, you...don't bear any grudge against me, what you said just now was a bit harsh and I misunderstood you."
Xia Ziying raised her head, the corners of her eyes were already wet, and said: "No, what the emperor has taught me is that the emperor is not wrong. If he is wrong, it is my concubine who is wrong." Then she bowed lightly and said: "Your Majesty.
I’ll take my leave first.”
"Concubine Xia, please stay." The Queen Mother shouted.
Xia Ziying stopped walking and stood on the spot, "How can you talk to the emperor like this? It's so unruly. There is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. The emperor misunderstood you and even said sorry to you. You still
It would be too unseemly to leave like this."
Then he said to Mu Lianlong: "It seems that Concubine Xia really doesn't understand the rules. From now on, she will be handed over to the Ai family. She should be well disciplined and handed over to you in the future."
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Xia Ziying looked frightened, and a look of embarrassment immediately appeared on her face. Mu Lianlong suddenly wanted to laugh in his heart, so he smiled slightly and said, "Then I won't bother the Queen Mother. It's like arriving in the palace for the first time.
It is inevitable that some etiquette is not very thorough, but it will be improved gradually in the future." After saying that, he looked at Xia Ziying.
The Queen Mother looked at the two people, and she understood immediately, and nodded, "Okay, the Ai family understands. It's getting late, so the Ai family will leave first." After saying that, she turned around and left.
As he left, he glanced at them and smiled slightly.
