MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 59

From any point of view, this is an unusual banquet for the officials.

The emperor is still warm and harmonious, the queen is still well-mannered, Yu Hou recites the poems affectionately as usual, General Wu dances a knife to help the fun, Xuan Guoji is the first to get drunk as usual, and he rolls again as usual The meal case is down. As usual, the second prince disliked the third prince, and he kept teasing with cold words during the banquet, annoyed that the fourth prince was about to make a move, the prince hurriedly came out to persuade him, and turned his head to scold the second prince.

The third prince was in no hurry, waved to the fourth prince to indicate that there was no need, and then skillfully brought out the fact that the second prince's companions have not yet returned. The emperor didn't care at first, but after a while, the flying cavalry returned to those companions who were young and energetic, and actually disobeyed the holy will and went hunting on their own.

The emperor's face sank at that time. The second prince stole the chicken and failed to lose the rice. He knelt down in a panic and pleaded guilty. The fifth prince interjected: "Is it possible that I missed the banquet today to achieve these few, I think there are many more."

So starting from this, the emperor simply asked all those who missed the banquet. After a lot of dancing, the results were gratifying—six or seven Confucian scholars who were still drunk in the afternoon, four or five reckless teenagers who broke their legs at the horse races, three noble ladies who gambled money in their accounts, and two couples in the forest. In the middle of the tryst, the wild mandarin ducks who lost their way.

The rest are punished separately: drunken Confucian scholars are expelled from Taixue; each lady who gambled money was fined 30,000 yuan, deprived of her official life, and her husband and son-in-law were each demoted by two hundred stone; The Marquis of Zhongshan, who has a wife, and Mrs. Chenghou, the new widow, are the son of Hu Bentian Langguan and the daughter of Dr. Ouyang of Taixue.

Fornicating with someone who has a family, on the one hand, it shows that there is no love between husband and wife, and on the other hand, it humiliates the deceased husband's wisdom. You should be punished!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered Mrs. Chenghou to be expelled from the capital and returned to her mother's family, and none of the wealth and silk of her husband's family could get a share. Introspection of origin.

Seeing the emperor's expression, all the ministers stopped pushing cups, changing glasses, laughing and chatting, and sat quietly in the banquet to wait for the emperor's decision. At this time, Tian Langguan and Dr. Ouyang had already knelt before the emperor. The center of the tent kept kowtowing and begging for guilt. The former argued that 'the little children are ignorant and lost their way, and did not intend to despise the royal banquet', but the latter blushed and bit hard, 'My daughter has been promised to be married, and it was all seduced by the Tian family's Shuzi'!

Cheng Shi, who was sitting in the corner of the imperial tent, was apprehensive. Before the banquet, Mrs. Xiao sent someone to tell him that her daughter had not yet returned. Before entering the tent, I saw Lou Yao sitting in the seat of honorable children outside.

Lady Ouyang was taken along when the guards searched for the Duke of Zhongshan and the Young Master Tian.

Cheng Shi carefully glanced at Lou Taipu opposite, and prayed to the Western Kunlun Virgin and the Eastern Yuan Shi Tianzun in his heart, bless his daughter not to hit the cusp of this storm.

Tian Langguan and Dr. Ouyang were blushing at this time, and they were arguing with each other. When the emperor was about to speak, a small yellow door suddenly entered the tent in a hurry and bowed his head in front of the throne. Quietly reported two sentences.

The ministers didn't know what the little Huangmen said, but the emperor's face was a little surprised, and his eyes shot at the tables in the corner of the tent. The fifth prince got close, and vaguely heard the word 'Ling', and he was shy, and hurriedly said: "Father, speaking, isn't Eleven here today, why didn't you go to the banquet at this time?"

The emperor gave him a deep look and said: "Today, all the scorpions who went hunting in the mountains, each went to the Tingwei's office to receive ten whips. Isn't there still chaos in the north of Jizhou? Send them to serve, It takes merit to return.”

The second prince wailed: "Father?! You, think twice..." Those companions are all the courtiers and nephews he made with him every day.

The emperor remained motionless, and continued: "The second prince is not strong enough to restrain the left and right sides, and together with the fifth prince, he will also receive ten whips."

The fifth prince was smiling proudly when he suddenly heard this and said dumbly: "Father, Father, did you say something wrong...?"

The emperor was too lazy to care about these two living treasures, and whispered to the little yellow gatekeeper to lead the person to the side tent, then left the table and walked back, all the ministers and the princes also got up and gave each other their hands. The emperor only took a few steps and stopped, then turned around and said, "Xiaowei Cheng, you come with me!"

Drive away with your neck down.

After the emperor left, the tent was buzzing like bees—

"What's wrong?"

"I just heard from the guard outside that Shirou is back!"

"I will come back when I come back, why has Your Majesty changed his face, His Majesty will never cure Shijilang's sins!"

"I heard that Shijirou was injured and was helped back."

"What?! Who can hurt Shijirou! Helping him back, I think the injury is not serious!"

These conversations were completely inaudible. He really did not know why the emperor called him alone. He thought that even if his daughter was late for the banquet, it would not attract such high-level attention. He followed the emperor step by step, in his heart Without thinking about the recent court affairs, the emperor suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Cheng Qing, how many children do you have under your knees." His expression was very pleasant.

Cheng Shi was stunned, and replied mechanically: "This minister has four sons and one daughter."

The emperor paused and frowned: "Only one girl?"

Cheng Shi beat a drum in his heart and was at a loss: "Yes. I only have one daughter."

The emperor frowned: "Have you betrothed to Lou Taipu's nephew?"

"Exactly." Cheng Shi thought, "Your Majesty, didn't you give my family a decree to confer marriage?"

The emperor looked unhappy at all: "How come you only have one daughter?!" The implication seemed very dissatisfied.

Cheng Shi was confused. Is it wrong to have only one daughter? !

Actually, the little Huangmen just said in a low voice - "Master Ling's left arm was injured, and he was supported by the daughter of Cheng Xiaowei's family."

The emperor felt that every word in this short sentence was strange.

First of all, will he not know who his adopted son is? If you hurt your arm but not your leg, why do you need someone to support it? Even if he injured his leg, he was able to walk straight from Liangzhou back to the capital with three knives and six holes back then, without showing any trace.

Secondly, a little girl helped her back! Even if the mountain gods were sacrificed today, and a spirit fairy suddenly appeared to sing a ditty, it would not surprise the emperor even more.

He didn't let go of his heart until he didn't know who gave his adopted son a few good-looking children and was beaten out.

Crossing through the ten-foot-long camp, they came to a slightly smaller golden-topped imperial tent. Before the little yellow door opened the tent, the emperor heard a soft and glutinous girl inside. Crying, his adopted son who is famous for being withdrawn is whispering comfort.

After entering the tent, I saw Ling Budo sitting by the fire, the doctor was fixing his left arm with wooden slats and bandaging, and beside him sat a little girl, although her crying face was like flowers It's like a cat, but it can still be seen that her face is beautiful, childish and weak, and the jade snow is piled up.

—So, this is what the adopted son actually likes? The emperor thought to himself, had no one sent such a beautiful girl before. No, since the adopted son was fifteen years old, he should have given all kinds of flowers, willows and greens.

"Father..." Shao Shang tugged at the hem of Cheng Shi's clothes, tears were hazy, so pitiful.

Cheng Shi knew in his heart that his daughter's safety would be safe, and if there was any problem, he was afraid that his daughter was married, so he said in a low voice: "Whatever your majesty asks, you can say."

Shaoshang nodded-according to the rhetoric set up by the two, she rode to the cliff, and accidentally slipped down because she wanted to climb the flowers on the edge of the cliff. Fortunately, the crooked neck hanging on the edge of the cliff On the tree, fortunately, Ling Budo passed by at this time, heard the cry for help, and broke her left forearm when pulling her up.

Heard the call for help and went over? The emperor really wanted to turn his head and remind his adopted son, 'Remember that when the eleven daughters of Yuhou's family fell into the water, you actually kicked off a piece of wood and threw it over to be hugged and floated', but Yuhou also understood what you meant. That's it.

Cheng Shi felt relieved after listening to this passage, thinking that this is the best way. Immediately, he hurriedly kowtowed, grateful to Ling Budo for rescuing his daughter, and loudly complained to the emperor.

The emperor nodded, thinking to himself, Cheng Shi doesn't have any intention of clinging, and it seems to be usable.

"Miss Cheng and Eleven Lang, have you met before?" No matter how much his heart tumbled, the emperor's face would not show the slightest.

Shao Shang looked down at the hem of Zhu Xuan's two-colored robes hanging on the carpet, and couldn't help sweating in his palms. It was the first time in his life that he saw the national boss, how could he not be nervous.

The emperor watched her hurriedly salute, and what she was doing was the etiquette of the elders in the family, not the salute. at a glance.

Ling Budo was unaware, holding his wrapped left arm, knelt down and salutes, "I have met Mrs. Cheng several times, and I can't ignore it."

The emperor ignored him and continued to ask: "Miss Cheng, where have you seen Zisheng."

The emperor asked again: "Ms. Cheng, Zisheng is an important minister and the pillar of the country. You hurt him, do you know the crime?"

Shao Shang was about to open his mouth, but Ling Budo took the lead again and said with a smile, "If I had known that Your Majesty wanted to scare her to death, I would not have to give up my left arm to save her."

The emperor finally couldn't help turning his head, just as he was about to scold his adopted son, he saw the pity in Ling Budo's eyes, he sighed secretly, and waved to the Cheng family father and daughter back down.

Cheng Shi took her daughter's arm, sighed repeatedly, and scolded while walking: "What's wrong with you?"

"You, why did you get involved with Shirou again!"

"Sir Ling is very kind and righteous. After I go back, I will ask Ayao to go to the door to thank you! Father, please prepare a gift for me."

Cheng Shi was incredible: "That's it?"

"What else." Shao Shang looked back at Father Cheng strangely.

They saved your life, you thanked them fiercely, and there is a chance to repay in the future, is there any problem. As for Yan's return upstairs, I can't say anything.

Cheng Shi: Did you think too much?

…

In the other room, Mr. Lou heard some news, dragged his nephew to a secluded place, and said in a low voice: "I just came back from an injury, do you know who helped him back? ?"

"My nephew knows. It's a young businessman."

"Ah!" Lou Tai servant couldn't react.

Lou Yao had a bright face and said bluntly: "The young merchant just called the maids around him to tell me. Brother Ling saved her life. After returning, I went to the door with the young merchant. thank."

"That's it?"

"What else?" Lou Yao felt that his uncle was very strange.

Lou Taipu: Is it because you think too much?

…

In the side tent, the emperor circled around Ling Budo and said, "You and the little lady of the Cheng family...?"

"What does Your Majesty want to say?" Ling Budo raised his arms and focused.

The emperor straightened up and walked slowly with his hands behind his back, changing the subject: "I remembered that you were by the side when I gave the Lou Cheng family a wedding decree that day."

"Yes, the minister is on the side." Ling Budo said lightly.

The emperor stared at his adopted son for a long time, feeling that he had nowhere to speak.

Ling Budo glanced at the little yellow door next to him, the little yellow door understood and whispered: "Your Majesty, the banquet outside..."

The emperor waved his hand irritably, left a sentence 'you heal up well' and strode back to the main tent. After sitting down, he saw Tian Langguan and Dr. Ouyang looking at each other angrily. , He sighed: "Forget it, it's not easy for a young man to fall in love, Ouyang Aiqing, when you go back, plan to marry a daughter and enter the Tian family."

Dr. Ouyang was speechless: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, but the little girl is already engaged."

Seeing the tired look of the emperor, General Wu roared like thunder: "It's a marriage and a divorce! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yu Hou twirled his elegant literati beard and said with a smile: "Dr. Ouyang, so many people have seen it today, and I think it makes Ai's original betrothal family unwilling to continue their relationship. This is not Tian Jiaduo. Marriage is about the love of the two children, Your Majesty intends to fulfill, why are you stubborn?"

Dr. Ouyang slumped to the ground, not daring to refute any more, Tian Langguan was full of joy, and loudly thanked the saint.

The emperor's mind drifts: Is it really that he thinks too much?
