The empress went on an expedition and the Blood Cloud Tower was destroyed. It was already yesterday.
A new day.
Imperial City, Zhongfu.
Zhong Ling hurriedly wanted to leave the house. When he was about to leave the house, he was stopped by someone: "Ling'er, where are you going in a hurry?"
"Ah?" Zhong Ling turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a red official robe, staring at him with a strange look.
After standing still, Zhong Ling replied: "Dad, my daughter plans to go to the palace."
The man in front of her is none other than Zhong Yangming, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The husband of General Zhong Lishuang and her father.
"Go to the palace?" Zhong Yangming muttered, looking at his daughter in front of him.
Normally, my daughter is always dressed in black, clean and simple.
But now, she is wearing a fiery red loose gown and a high ponytail, looking more girly than before.
"Yes, before leaving, His Majesty told his daughter to take care of Prince Dian, and now he is about to enter the palace to escort him." Zhong Ling nodded.
Zhong Yangming frowned, feeling inexplicably unhappy: "The prince is in the palace and protected by the guards. Why do you need to be so concerned about it?"
"What's more, I heard that the prince is greedy for pleasure and has nothing to do..."
"Dad!" Zhong Ling sounded a little annoyed, "You have never gotten along with the prince, how can you comment on others at will?"
After saying that, Zhong Ling ran away and disappeared in front of Zhong Yangming.
"Ling'er!?" Zhong Yangming shouted quickly and chased her out. But when he arrived at the door of the mansion, he found his daughter jumping happily and heading towards the palace.
Standing at the door of the mansion, Zhong Yangming's mind went blank for a moment.
What's going on?
Remember yesterday, didn't my daughter dislike Xiao Tian and complained that her mother had given her a bad job?
Why did it change so quickly overnight?
And because of that Xiao Tian, I talked back to him as a father.
I don’t know why, but Zhong Yangming felt something was not right in his heart.
Zhong Ling ignored Zhong Yangming's complicated psychological changes and quickly entered the palace.
She has a special license and can enter and leave the palace at will.
After arriving at the palace, Zhong Ling learned that Xiao Tian was in the Imperial Garden and rushed over.
"Young General..." The guards guarding the entrance to the Imperial Garden were very surprised to see Zhong Ling arriving.
Especially when I saw Zhong Ling's dress, I was a little surprised.
This was the first time they saw Zhong Ling dressed up like this.
"Is the prince inside?" Zhong Ling asked as he walked inside.
"Ah?" The two female guards guarding the door reacted immediately, "Yes, that's it..."
Before the two of them finished speaking, Zhong Ling had already passed by.
The female guards looked at each other, secretly turned around and lay at the entrance of the courtyard, looking inside.
"Do you think the Major General will get mad and take action when he sees the prince like this?"
"It's very possible that the Major General's temperament has always been like this."
Sure enough, when the two of them looked inside, they found Zhong Ling standing blankly not far away, looking ahead.
There, it was by the ornamental lake in the Imperial Garden.
The maid in the palace held up a huge cattail leaf fan and waved it gently beside her, so that Xiao Tian, who was lying on the soft lounge chair, could feel the soft and cool breeze.
Xiao Tian fell on the recliner, with his arms behind his head, his legs crossed and dangling there, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, not knowing what he was looking at.
There were other maids nearby, peeling the fruits and melons as tribute, and serving them to Xiao Tian's mouth.
What is a dream day?
That’s it!
"So comfortable!" Xiao Tian reached out to take the tea handed over by the maid, took a sip, and continued to lie down on the recliner leisurely, watching the wonderful life of the system's past hosts.
When clothes came, I stretched out my hands, when I came to eat, I opened my mouth. I was enjoying the service of the maids in the royal garden of the palace, and watching other special effects blockbusters.
One word.
Cool!
"Wonderful retirement life." Xiao Tian muttered happily, which was better than the retirement plan he had thought of before on Earth.
He even sang a little tune.
Liu Yan, who was standing by the side, frowned slightly and could not help but tighten her grip on the handle of the sword at her waist.
Your Majesty is personally on the expedition, rushing to the front lines to fight, but her husband is just here seeking pleasure, which is really infuriating.
There were footsteps behind her. Liu Yan turned around and saw a figure dressed in fiery red approaching.
"Young... Major General?" Liu Yan was very surprised when she saw the person coming. She blinked, wondering if she had seen it wrong.
Looking Zhong Ling up and down, she felt that he seemed a little strange to him for a moment.
"Huh?" Xiao Tian, who was resting and enjoying himself on the recliner, turned around and said, "What are you doing here, little girl?"
"Your Majesty asked me to protect the prince, and of course I must fulfill my duties." Zhong Ling said solemnly, walked to Xiao Tian and stood next to him, as if he were a personal guard.
Xiao Tian looked at Zhong Ling and felt a headache.
He really doesn't like having this little girl around. What if she makes a slip of the tongue one day and exposes herself?
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian waved his hand angrily: "Stay where it's cool, don't join in the fun, no one wants your protection."
After his words fell, the surrounding area immediately became quiet, and the maids serving him all froze.
Liu Yan stared at Xiao Tian, wondering if he was looking for death.
With the temper of the young general, will she stop him when the time comes or not?
"I won't leave, I'll stay here, this... this is His Majesty's order, and I don't want to disobey it." Zhong Ling shook his head and stood motionless, as if his feet were rooted.
This scene made the maid serving next to him dumbfounded.
The female guards standing nearby, as well as the female guards preparing to watch the show at the entrance of the courtyard, were dumbfounded.
Liu Yan: "???"
Her neck seemed to be stiff, and she turned around mechanically, staring intently at Zhong Ling.
Especially when he saw Zhong Ling with a smile on his face and staring at Xiao Tian with a strange look.
Liu Yan's heart skipped a beat: "It's over..."
"Major General, I'm afraid it's really broken!"
"You must report this matter to the general, otherwise there may be big problems."
When she thought of this, the way Liu Yan looked at Xiao Tian had completely changed.
Speaking of which, Xiao Tian does have a good skin.
But she never expected that this man would turn out to be a coquettish person who would bring disaster to the country and the people.
First, I don't know how to confuse His Majesty and let her get married to this good-for-nothing man.
The proud daughter of the younger generation of the Dayan Dynasty, Major General Zhong Ling, was also bewildered by this "enchanting prince".
The more Liu Yan thought about it, the more panicked she became, as if she could see a future scene in which His Majesty would be obsessed with men, not engaged in government affairs, and Dayan would be in decline.
"Commander!" Just when Liu Yan was thinking wildly, she heard someone calling her at the gate of the Royal Garden.
Liu Yan looked around and saw that it was the deputy commander of the imperial guards. She stepped over and asked, "What's wrong?"
