Since ancient times, the successful king has defeated the bandits, and the world has finally ceased to be chaotic, and the people's hearts have gradually stabilized. It seems that the new emperor is not bad. In order to restore the people's livelihood, he has exempted taxes and miscellaneous taxes for five years.
A general amnesty was issued to the people, houses that had collapsed due to the war were built, water conservancy projects were carried out, more ditches were built to prevent floods, and medical teams were organized in every city, county and town to avoid the occurrence of plagues...
The world was set, Ling Jiyun had to prepare for the enthronement ceremony and could not leave Aoran City, so Cha Fengqing set out a month ago to pick up the person he cared about. He wanted to share his victory with her, share
He got everything, but he couldn't help but worry. Gardenia was not a person who could be manipulated by others. If she was pushed into a hurry, she would do things that were far beyond his expectations. At this time, he was worried that Feng Qingneng could
Will you bring Gardenia? I haven’t seen you for half a year. How are she and the child?
Standing by the lake where he had been bullied, Ling Jiyun frowned sharply, waved, and a eunuch came up and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"Pass the message and have the lake filled up and a lake artificially opened on the west side of the Imperial Garden. It will be completed within a month."
The cold voice penetrated the eardrums, and the young eunuch timidly kowtowed and said, "Yes, I obey the order."
Feng Tianlai was such a founding general, and he passed by the young eunuch. Looking at the panic on his face, it was not difficult to guess what order the future emperor had given.
"Your Majesty." Feng Tianlai bowed his hands and said.
Ling Jiyun asked without looking back: "What's the matter?"
"His Majesty Hui, the lord of Yuxi Kingdom, the lord of Nanshang Kingdom, the lord of Beilin Kingdom, the lord of Baiqing Kingdom, the lord of Sangyue Kingdom, and the lord of Western Region Kingdom have all arrived at Aoran City. They all brought valuable gifts to congratulate the prince and attended the meeting.
The enthronement ceremony."
Princess Lu Xinlan of the Yuxi Kingdom is his concubine, and the king can be considered half of the father-in-law, so it is not surprising that the other kings come to congratulate them, and it is not surprising that the other kings come to congratulate them, whether they are seeking influence or for other purposes. This Western Region
If the lord of the country dares to come, he must be a little more courageous.
"Where is the Lord of the Western Regions now?" Ling Jiyun asked with an expressionless side glance.
Although he is used to Ling Jiyun's indifference, today's mood is different from the past, and he seems to have a bit more murderous intent. "Now I am staying in Bieyuan."
"Hmph——." He sneered and said, "Invite him to come to the imperial study room to meet me."
"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
After Feng Tianlai retreated, Ling Jiyun called another palace servant and said: "Go and invite the former queen of Leng Palace to the outside of the imperial study. Only after getting instructions from the king can you bring her in."
"According to the order." The palace man bowed and stepped back, Ling Jiyun also waved his robe and turned sideways.
In the corridor for a while, Feng Tianlai led a man in rich clothes around forty years old. He was slightly fat and not tall, but he looked noble. However, there was a small amount of sweat on his face at this time. He was thinking about how to deal with this former man.
The future emperor who almost died because of Lan Yeji, whom he gave to his daughter as a dowry. He was able to seize the kingdom from Emperor Tingyan, so he was definitely not an ordinary person. Now he also pays equal attention to the kindness and power of the former ministers, which has convinced the world, so
How can you easily deal with such a dangerous character on your own?
I have also heard that this fourth prince seems to have a violent personality and a very bad temper. For the sake of his own son, the Supreme Emperor made him a Prince of Ji and demoted him to a border town to think about it. It was God's will to make people, but now he is living like a fool.
He became the emperor. At that time, he was troubled by the frequent border conflicts. He only wanted to find a powerful country as a backer, but he did not expect that he relied on inhumane people. His daughter was abandoned after being the queen for less than three years.
He has entered the cold palace. Even the Xiyu Kingdom, which is smaller than him, is now riding on him. Alas, he is really doing his own evil.
"Prince Ji." No matter what, they still smiled when they met, Qin Su, the leader of the Western Region Kingdom, said with cupped hands.
Ling Jiyun stood up from where he was sitting, and raised his hands and said: "The king has come from afar, if Jiyun is negligent in any way, why don't you still look to Haihan?" He smiled, sarcastically, resentfully, sarcastically.
He actually had the nerve to do this, and Lan Yeji, who was angry at him, made Gardenia innocently separated from him for a whole year.
Although Qin Su was not good at governing the country, he had seen the world. He could hear the strange tone in Ling Jiyun's words. He was afraid that he would have to work hard to bring his daughter back. "There, there, when I come to your country,
I am a little flattered by Prince Ji's warm hospitality."
"Please sit down." Ling Jiyun raised his hand and finished his courtesy.
The way Qin Su was sitting on pins and needles made Ling Jiyun both relieved and funny. When the palace attendants brought tea, Qin Su took a small sip to hide her embarrassment and exclaimed: "What a good tea."
Ling Jiyun was not as interested as before, and became much colder. He slowly said in a lazy voice: "If the king likes it, I can give you some as a gift when you leave."
"Well, thank you very much, Lord Ji."
Ling Jiyun waited to see how he would ask him to let his daughter return to the country, so as not to end up in the cold palace for the rest of her life. He knew that his daughter was outside the imperial study, and was looking forward to her father to take her away. After all, the cold palace was not
People can wait.
Qin Su made Ling Jiyun panic, and the smile on his face made him tremble with fear. He smiled cautiously and said: "Your Majesty, Qin is going to your country this time. In addition to congratulating you on your enthronement, there is something else.
Please, I hope the prince will agree no matter what."
Getting to the point, Ling Jiyun asked with great interest: "Oh——, I wonder what the king is referring to?"
"My daughter Yu Jie married into the Aoran Dynasty three years ago and became Queen Tingyan. Now that you are the new master, I hope you can consider that she was also your royal sister-in-law and let her return to the country with Qin." Qin Su
He spoke cautiously, not daring to look Ling Jiyun in the eyes. After all, he still didn't know what Ling Jiyun's attitude would be towards his words.
Ling Jiyun pretended to be awake and said: "It turned out to be something about the former queen. I remember that I almost died under her dowry. Does the king think that I have a reason to let her go?"
Qin Su cupped his hands and said: "My lord, please forgive me. The matter of Lan Yeji's dowry was entirely due to Emperor Tingyan's special appointment and had nothing to do with my daughter. It's also my fault that Qin was confused at the time, which almost caused a big mistake. If your lord, you
Regardless of past grudges, and with great kindness, Qin immediately issued an edict to ensure that the Western Region Kingdom and the Aoran Dynasty will have everlasting friendship."
Ling Jiyun smiled slyly in his heart. His goal had been achieved, but on the surface he still agreed reluctantly. He stood up and walked to Qin Su and said: "Originally Jiyun wanted to send someone to escort the emperor's wife back to the country, but she never thought of going back to the country."
Lord, you have condescended to come to Aoran City and are willing to make a decree of eternal friendship between the two countries. Jiyun is really grateful for the kindness of the king. In this case, Jiyun will agree."
He knew this was a trap, but Qin Su couldn't help but jump in. Although the Xizai Kingdom was not small, it was not big either. In this way, although the relationship was good in name, wouldn't it secretly become a vassal state of his Aoran Dynasty? Qin
Su was smiling on the outside, but he was bitter in his heart.
"Come here, please bring the former Queen in." Ling Jiyun called out loudly, and the eunuch led a woman in a light blue dress in. Her face was haggard, but she could not hide that she had been a lovely woman.
Human facts.
"Father——." Qin Yujie threw herself into Qin Su's arms and cried bitterly, crying that her life was miserable and that she had married the wrong person.
"Jie'er——." Qin Su's eyes also filled with mist. A grown man shed tears of sadness because of his daughter's words of "father".
Ling Jiyun looked at it and felt a different kind of emotion in her heart. She was even more anxious and eager to see Gardenia and the child, and couldn't wait to hold their child in her arms.
"Come here, take the lord and princess down to rest so that they can serve you well. If you neglect them, I will punish them severely."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The little eunuch who came in said timidly.
Qin Su was slightly startled because during the conversation with Ling Jiyun, he had bargained with him with hypocritical politeness. At this time, Ling Jiyun's face had a sincerity that he had never seen before, and he suddenly wanted to know the reason.
Impulsive, but looking at his sad daughter in his arms, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince Ji."
After the two left, Ling Jiyun sent someone to see if Feng Qing was back. Even though he knew he hadn't come back, he still couldn't hide his longing.
Suddenly, I felt that the night was darker than ever before, and I felt an invisible depression spreading bit by bit in my heart. Why was my heart so uneasy? Did Fengqing and Gardenia have an accident on the road?
When Situ Ling passed by the Imperial Garden with his hands behind his back, he saw Ling Jiyun sitting alone in the Youyu Pavilion with a solemn look on his face. He knew that Feng Qing had been asked to pick up Hua Zhiniang some time ago, and he also knew that Hua Zhiniang should be considered a
Life or death was uncertain. When he learned the whereabouts of the two from Feng Qing that day, he was determined to make Hua Zhiniang disappear from this world. He felt that her presence was a threat to Ling Jiyun. So he secretly picked it
After taking Ling Jiyun back to the border town to take charge of the overall situation, he secretly kept someone in the mountain village and found the right opportunity to put it in Hua Zhiniang's meals. In fact, he was also worried that Hua Zhiniang was Hua Xuzi's daughter after all.
, despite her young age, her medical skills have indeed reached a certain level, and with her intelligence, can she really eliminate the root cause by doing this?
"Jiyun." After coming behind him for a long time, he didn't notice anyone approaching, which shows how deeply he was thinking.
Ling Jiyun looked back at Situ Ling and said, "It turns out to be master, please sit down."
"What's so upsetting? I've been behind you for a long time and haven't seen you move for a long time?" Situ Ling asked knowingly.
Ling Jiyun shook his head gently and sighed: "It's just some lock-up matters, not worth mentioning."
Situ Ling's eyes were blurred, searching the dark eyes in Ling Jiyun's eyes. He could hide it, but he forgot that he had brought him up. "Are you thinking about Hua Zhiniang?" He was about to reveal it.
I wanted him to tell me everything.
Ling Jiyun was slightly stunned and silent, and Situ Ling said: "Now the world is yours, and it is not my turn to take care of your harem, but I still have to remind you that the world has been settled for the first time, and people are at peace.
It's time to wait for the opportunity, you can't let a woman ruin your job."
"Master has misunderstood. Gardenia is not the kind of person you imagined."
"Hmph——." Situ Ling sneered: "I know better than you what kind of person she is. I know you want to make her your queen, but is she worthy?"
"Master——." Ling Jiyun raised his voice, obviously unhappy.
"I will tell you if you are not happy." Situ Ling said stubbornly: "Now you have Lian Ruoyi and Lu Xinlan in your harem. After you ascend the throne, you will also have the daughters of ministers and princesses from various countries who come to get married. When the time comes, these
With all the women in the palace, if you only favor Hua Zhiniang, it will shake the foundation of the country, do you understand?"
