Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 22 I can’t divide this dumpling between you!

Early in the morning, before dawn, there was a knock on Lin Heng's door. Lin Heng, who heard the noise, buried his head in the bed and didn't want to pay attention to it at all.

Uncle Wang outside the door was anxious when he didn't hear a response after knocking on the door for a long time.

"Little Prince, you have forgotten that the eunuch came to the palace last night and asked you to enter the palace to express gratitude. Moreover, in today's meeting, His Majesty also ordered Zongzheng Temple to arrange your marriage!"

"Stop sleeping, young man, the sky will collapse if you sleep any longer!"

In a daze, Lin Heng heard about the wedding arrangements and sat up immediately.

This is a big deal, so we can’t sleep!
It's not Lin Heng's fault. After this dark fragrance became popular, there was an endless stream of people queuing up to buy it. He couldn't calm down until early in the morning, and he had to go to the accounts and replenish the goods by himself. One person was as big as two people.

Fortunately, Lin Bo and several other clerks were helping, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight just relying on him.

Lin Heng, who had just slept for two hours, opened the door with dark circles under his eyes. Uncle Wang was stunned when he saw it.

Lin Heng said weakly: "Let's go, Uncle Wang, and enter the palace."

"Young Master, it's not okay for you to enter the palace like this. Yesterday's eunuch brought you a uniform. You wear that to go to court. Now you go wash your face. You can't let others look down on us."

"Yeah, okay, okay, let's do it."

Seeing that Lin Heng still looked lazy and not awake, the anxious Uncle Wang directly took him to wash and change clothes.

After a while, Lin Heng, who put on his uniform, looked much more energetic.

"Don't eat anymore. It's not too late to go directly to the palace now."

Lin Heng immediately said: "How can you not eat breakfast? If you don't eat breakfast, you will not be energetic for the whole day!"

Uncle Wang thought to himself, Xiaolangjun, your seriousness is really strange.

"Young man, hurry up and set off. If you miss the time, you will be in big trouble!"

After being urged to go out, Lin Heng soon arrived at Jiafumen.

When we arrived, many people had already gathered here. Judging by their official uniforms, they were probably officials of seventh or eighth rank.

Officials of the seventh and eighth grades are not eligible to participate in the regular court meetings on weekdays, and only during the half-monthly court meetings do they have the opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor.

Therefore, everyone dressed up brightly and held their heads high, just waiting for His Majesty to come and admire them.

Seeing that the court might have to wait for a while, Lin Heng picked up the buns he just bought on the road, opened them and smelled them. The aroma was fragrant, and his appetite was immediately aroused.

Many of the officials were talking about the current situation in the world, the common people, and the tips for governing the country. Suddenly, they saw an out-of-place person not far away, eating steamed buns there!

They couldn't help but look at him with strange expressions.

Lin Heng noticed everyone's gaze and immediately withdrew the buns: "What are you doing? I don't have enough buns for myself, so I can't share them with you!"

Everyone's lips twitched, are we going to eat your buns?You don’t even look where you are when you eat!
An official kindly reminded: "This is where the palace officials gather. It may be a bit unsightly to eat."

Lin Heng asked with a strange look on his face: "Is there a rule in this place not to eat steamed buns?"

"Not at all."

So Lin Heng still went his own way and continued to chew.Everyone also found that this was a strange face that they had never seen before, and they couldn't help but curiously asked: "Who are you and why have you never seen him before?"

Seeing that he was handsome and young, perhaps he was an official who had recently filled a vacancy, everyone was curious.

"I'm Lin Heng. Today is my first time going to court."

Everyone was stunned when they heard it was Lin Heng.

Is it the man who recently adopted Princess Runan as his son-in-law, the warrior who is not afraid of bloodshed?
After hearing this, everyone immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, not wanting to get close to Lin Heng at all.

Not far away, someone shook his head at him, and there seemed to be some pity in his eyes.

"A good man should have ambitions everywhere and care about the world. He actually became a son-in-law. It's a pity that his good future was ruined like this."

Even if he recruits a son-in-law, and he also recruits a disfigured princess, it is no wonder that if there is no shortcoming, how can a farmhouse man be allowed to go?
Of course, no one dares to say these words. After all, this is the palace, and trouble comes from the mouth, just ridicule Lin Heng.

Others laughed and said, "So you are that farmhouse? Hahaha!"

"I've heard for a long time that someone announced the recruitment of Princess Runan as a son-in-law a few days ago. Unexpectedly, it was you. When I saw you today, you really looked extraordinary!"

There was sarcasm and ridicule in the words of these people. Lin Heng could naturally hear it, but he ignored it.

Why are you arguing with these idiots? Lin Heng was knighted a few days ago. Although it is a false title, he is still a fifth-rank official!
I have a high official position and a high sense of humor, so I won’t argue with you.

You deserve it that you can’t even reach the Chang Dynasty at the seventh or eighth level!

Everyone avoided Lin Heng, fearing that getting close would bring bad luck, so they stayed away from Lin Heng.

Lin Heng thought this and continued to eat the buns, not caring about his isolation.
At this time, not far away, a tall and thick man wearing a military officer's official uniform walked towards Lin Heng.

"Are you that Lin Heng?"

After looking at it, he didn't seem to recognize him, so Lin Heng nodded.

I thought he was here to show off his intelligence, but unexpectedly, this person burst out laughing.

"So you are Lin Heng. I have wanted to see you for a long time!"

Lin Heng thought that this person was not mentally ill or something, and his face looked a little weird.

"I don't know who you are?"

Seeing this, the man also felt that what he was doing was a little abnormal, he touched the back of his head and said with a smile:
"I haven't introduced you yet, a certain Yuchi Baolin. Maybe you haven't heard of me, but you must have heard of my father, Yuchi Jingde!"

Lin Heng was immediately startled, Yuchi Jingde, during the New Year celebrations in the village when he was a child, there must be a door god posted in front of every house, Yuchi Jingde must be there, how could he not recognize him!
Damn it, I came to the Tang Dynasty and actually saw the descendants of Yuchi Jingde. Who can understand the feeling of seeing the people in the painting come alive in front of me!
Yuchi Jingde, also known as Weichi Gong, followed Li Shimin in the war in his early years. He belonged to the group of founding fathers and was one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

In later generations, there was a saying that you would be invited to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, as if you were a scholar and a marquis of ten thousand households.

It is conceivable that the pinnacle of military commanders is here!
And as the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son. This Yuchi Baolin is not a good one. In his early years, he was kidnapped by the enemy with his mother. He adopted someone else as his godfather. He was doted on by his godfather and taught him martial arts since he was a child. He was so good at whipping that he could compete with his father Yuchi. Jingde is equally respected, and after learning about his life experience, he returned to the Tang Dynasty. He also became famous and is now an official in the court.

Neither father nor son is simple. Lin Heng quickly handed over his hands and said: "General Yuchi's martial arts skills are unparalleled. How could I not have heard of this? It's disrespectful."

Yuchi Baolin laughed and pointed at Lin Heng: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I have to be disrespectful to compete with you, who drives Sun Chong crazy!"
