Empress work daily

Chapter 268 Expectations
Jiang Jian showed a gesture of willingness to hear more about it, and Chu Lingxiao mustered up his courage to make a request.

"I implore the national teacher to accept His Majesty's wishes."

Jiang Jian really didn't expect Chu Lingxiao to say such a thing, at such a moment.You know, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had long regarded him as their husband and king.

"That shouldn't be what you said." Jiang Jian put down his teacup and said seriously: "You are the future husband and king that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are optimistic about, and I am also optimistic about you."

Chu Lingxiao didn't understand.

His Majesty cares about the National Teacher, and the National Teacher also has His Majesty in his heart, why can't they help each other?

"It's because of taboos, right?" Apart from this, Chu Lingxiao couldn't think of any other reasons.

"For Your Majesty, why don't you return to vulgarity?"

Strictly speaking, the national teacher is just a person who cultivates the Tao, and he does not contemplate and become a monk like ordinary Taoists.Besides, cultivating the Tao is different from cultivating the Buddha. The latter needs to strictly enforce the rules and regulations, while cultivating the Tao can have a partner.

Otherwise, how did the "double cultivation" in the storybook come about?

Even if not, so what?
Shang Shengjun is a monk, isn't his daughter already this old?Moreover, Shang Shengjun still retains the appearance of a monk so far, but in private he is no different from a secular person. That day when he was making dumplings in Shouan Palace, who would regard Shang Shengjun as a monk?

Chu Lingxiao didn't understand the concerns of the national teacher.

Jiang Jian was amused by this sentence, and then fell into a long stare.

He had seen before that the child had a pattern in his heart, and he really didn't miss him.

After a long silence, Jiang Jian said: "Your words make me feel sad and relieved. I can see that you have been pleased with Your Majesty for a long time. It is heartbreaking for a man to push the person he cares about to others. That person is His Majesty, you I am very gratified to consider issues from His Majesty’s point of view everywhere.”

Chu Lingxiao felt that there was no way to talk about this. He regarded the national teacher as an ordinary man, and wanted to have an open and equal dialogue.The national teacher has always regarded him as a disciple and taught him carefully.

But he clearly remembered that when Liang Yanqing proposed to choose a husband with His Majesty for the first time, the imperial teacher's sharp eyes contained a possessive desire that ordinary people could not detect, and he clearly felt the possessive desire for His Majesty at that time.

In just half a year, why is it gone?
No, it can only be said that he hides well.

Chu Lingxiao stood up, with the aura of a king and general, and said: "As long as Your Majesty regards me as a man, even the most ordinary man, I will win her heart without hesitation. However, she has always Treat me as an elder brother, closer than the elder brother of a compatriot of the same mother. I can't live up to her trust in my elder brother."

"Then try to make her treat you like an ordinary man, shelter her from the wind and rain, solve her problems, be her right-hand man, be the sharpest sword in her hand, let her rely on you unconsciously, afraid of losing you, and gradually lose You take it to heart, and I don't want to be separated from you for a moment."

Chu Lingxiao had nothing to say.

After a while, he said in a low voice, "Isn't what you're talking about right now?"

"Your Majesty treats you like this."

Jiang Jian closed his eyes.

Open it again, and it will be clear again.

"I hope." He said to Chu Lingxiao: "You can play the piano and zither with your majesty, have children, and together hold up the sky."

"Why exactly?"

"I yearn for the great way."

This is Jiang Jian's answer.

Chu Lingxiao stood there for a long time, then turned and left without even saying goodbye.It's not that I forgot, it's just too disappointing.

It turned out that he arranged all the funeral affairs in order to concentrate on cultivating the Tao.That being the case, why did you go to tease His Majesty and let His Majesty fall into pain and cannot extricate himself?

He also thought hard to teach these disciples and teach them the truth, but he didn't know that he couldn't even handle his own feelings well.

At this moment, as much as Jiang Jian had expectations for Chu Lingxiao, Chu Lingxiao was disappointed with him.

……

With mixed feelings, he ran along the official road to Suzaku Gate, seeing the guards guarding the gate in a trance, suddenly turned his horse's head and walked away.

The news quickly reached Ji Qiang's ears, which made her stunned for a while.

"Brother came in a hurry, but left?" Ji Qiang confirmed to Zhao Gan again.

"Return to Your Majesty, this is how the soldiers on duty at the Suzaku Sect return."

"Go and check quietly, where did brother come from, and what happened along the way."

Zhao Qian took the order and left.

An hour later, the result came out. It was learned that Chu Lingxiao entered the National Teacher's Mansion first, and then went straight to the palace after leaving the National Teacher's Mansion. Later, he behaved so strangely.

Ji Qiang was sure that the national teacher must have said something unbearable to his elder brother, and his elder brother lost his composure like that.

Based on her understanding of her brother's character, even if the sky falls, he will stand up straight to support it. Such a man of iron bones who stands upright will not easily do this.

Just as he was thinking, Ling Lu suddenly reported that King Wuling had arrived.

Ji Qiang: "..."

"Please."

Holding the purple-gold wooden box in his hand, Chu Lingxiao came to Ji Qiang with strides. After the ceremony, he presented the wooden box.

"This is for me?" Ji Qiang rubbed the wooden box with excellent touch, unable to believe it for a while.

Chu Lingxiao nodded slightly.

After opening it, Ji Qiang was dumbfounded, no wonder it was so heavy, the box was actually full of hairpin rings, jade bracelets and jewellery.

"Brother, what is this?" Ji Qiang couldn't find the right words to describe his state of mind at this moment, and he always felt that his brother's actions today were a little...crazy.

"These are all bought for His Majesty." Chu Lingxiao said seriously.

Ji Qiang: "..."

Four Diamond:"……"

"I didn't buy it today. I have accumulated it many times. Now that the box is full, I will give it to His Majesty."

After a pause, Chu Lingxiao added another sentence.

Immediately, Ji Qiang tasted a little taste, and combined with his brother's behavior before and after, he probably understood the reason for his sudden change.

"Brother is worrying, I will take it." After handing the box to Lu Yi, Ji Qiang left Chu Lingxiao for dinner.

If it was normal, Chu Lingxiao would definitely find a reason to refuse.Especially after the two of them reached an "alliance" in order to fool the courtiers and fooled the courtiers, he paid great attention to this point.Before the husband king really settled down, he took extra care to avoid being alone with His Majesty.

This time, he responded very simply.

After the dinner was set, he specifically asked Ji Qiang to retreat to the left and right. After a while, only the two of them were left in Yangyuan Hall.

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it, no matter what it is, I won't blame you, brother."

"Your Majesty." He breathed unsteadily, "Have you really considered letting me be your husband and king?"

Ji Qiang's heart tightened suddenly, but he also maintained a calm look on his face.

Immediately smiled, asked back: "Brother wants to do it?"

Chu Lingxiao said silently: "What mother means is that the holy ancestor, Taizong, and the first emperor all had women but not men, but she got a man in one fell swoop. This proves that the Daliang royal family is not a cursed family at all."

"Perhaps, perhaps...the minister and His Majesty can...change the so-called curse."

It was extremely difficult for Chu Lingxiao to speak, intermittently expressing what he didn't understand clearly, his face was already blushing, but the remaining sliver of reason reminded him to be ready to confess his guilt at any time.
