Jiaochu

Chapter 138 King Pingnan ([-])
Ye Lingxi thought for a while and asked curiously: "Do you know how my father and your father met? They seem to have a very good relationship."

"Of course. Uncle Huang and my father are close brothers. When we fought with Xiyan, Uncle Huang and my father fought side by side. It was a fateful friendship. Of course the relationship is good." Meng Jingxiu looked like she was with him. With a proud look, his eyes were shining with admiration, "My father said that he had never served anyone in his life, except for two people, one was my mother's concubine, and the other was the emperor's uncle. My father said that in those days The Xiyan cavalry surrounded Yecheng. The city was running out of ammunition and food. Even he felt that there was no hope. He persuaded the emperor to abandon the city and leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. The emperor only asked what the people should do, and his father himself She beat herself up and never mentioned the abandonment of the city again. My father said that from then on he obeyed Uncle Huang." After saying that, she winked at Ye Lingxi and said that she was a little fox, Ye Lingxi Lingxi felt as if her thoughts were being read through by the other party.

"What else do you want to know? Do you want me to tell you how Uncle Huang defended Yecheng back then?"

"Let's talk for a while, it will be daybreak. If you are not sleepy, I will be, so go to sleep."

"I can't sleep, why don't we guess lantern riddles?"

"..."

The next day, the Golden Crow dawned, shining brightly, and everything looked brand new.

The gate of Chen's mansion was very busy, and the two carriages were loaded with luggage.

The appointment came to the house last night. Chen Ping's father took over as Danyang County Sheriff. He was originally the Minister of Household Affairs. Although he was far away from the center of power in the capital, taking over the post of County Sheriff was also a promotion.

When we set off, there were still a few traces of white morning fog on the streets.

The sound of Dada's hoofbeats chased the carriage, and someone from behind shouted loudly to the people sitting in the carriage.Chen Ping opened the curtain and looked behind him, and quickly asked someone to stop the car.

After the carriage stopped, Zhao Ce dismounted and ran over, and Chen Ping also jumped out of the carriage in a hurry. When the two met, they didn't know what to say.

Feeling a little sore in the eyes, one raised his head to look at the sky and the other turned to look at the ground.

"This is for you, keep it well and don't let your stepmother find out."

Zhao Ce took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed it to Chen Ping. When he didn't accept it, he put it into his hand and ran away, raising his hand as if to wipe his eyes.Chen Ping also turned around and wiped his eyes, put the banknotes in his arms and returned to the carriage.

When the carriages and horses drove out of the city gate, it was already bright.

When Hehe and Lingdang came to help Ye Lingxi and Meng Jingxiu get up, they both stayed in bed and couldn't wake up no matter how they woke up.He He had no choice but to report back to Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan asked the two of them to sleep a little longer. After she finished washing, she took Zhu'er to the Queen's Palace to pay her respects.

When they arrived at the Queen's Palace, Concubine Xiao asked Meng Jingxiu if she was still used to living there as Princess Anping. If she was missing something, just send someone to tell her. Concubine Lan thanked her, and her words and deeds were gentle and demure, which Concubine Xiao could not observe. A little clue.

After coming out of the Queen's Palace, Concubine Xiao invited Concubine Lan to sit in her palace.

"Everyone, please go down. I will talk to my sister alone for a while."

Zhuer and Hongqiao retreated together.

Concubine Xiao casually mentioned that she had sent a letter to the family a few days ago, and secretly observed Concubine Lan's expression. There was nothing unusual about her. There was no hint of scheming in her gentle and clear eyes.Concubine Xiao was a little doubtful of her previous speculation, and tried again, "My sister is missing a qualified helper like Aunt Li, so there must be a lot of inconvenience. I think Hongqiao is very good, why don't she let her Go serve your sister."

Concubine Lan thanked Concubine Xiao for her kindness and said, "I have Zhu'er by my side, and the palace has enough manpower."

Concubine Lan's polite refusal made Concubine Xiao even more suspicious. She did not expect that "there is no qualified person like Hui Zhi in her palace, and Concubine Lan was afraid that she would not have enough manpower."

After talking for a while, Concubine Lan took her leave.

Beside the koi pond in the Imperial Garden, two pairs of big, smart eyes looked at the fat carp swimming in the pond, red and green, like butterflies swimming in the water.

"This fish is too small. Last time my father caught such a big fish from the river, he picked it up with one hand. The fish was so big. All the fish in the pond combined are not as big as it."

"My father can pick up such a big bow with one hand and shoot an arrow through the bull's-eye with his eyes closed. Whether it is flying in the sky or running on the ground, my father can hit it with one arrow with his eyes closed. My father." The most powerful, the most powerful person in the world."

"My father can defeat a bear and knock it out with one punch."

"My father is good-looking, my father is the best-looking." "..., my eldest brother is good-looking."

"My royal brother is better looking."

"I am taller than you."

"You are older than me."

"..., I am getting old."

Hahaha

The hearty and loud laughter startled the two of them. They turned around and found that one, two, three were standing behind them... of the three people, the one who laughed the most was Pingnan Wang, who also had a beard on his face. Shaking and shaking, like dancing.

"Father~" Ye Ling ran up behind her father and hid.

"Uncle Huang, sister Lingxi said I'm old~" Meng Jingxiu complained aggrievedly.

Ye Lingxi stuck out his head and said, "First tell me I'm short."

"I didn't say you were short." Meng Jingxiu said aggrievedly.

Ye Lingxi asked back: "When you say you are taller than me, don't you mean I am shorter?"

Meng Jingxiu: "..."

Hahaha

King Pingnan laughed boldly again, looked at the little head sticking out from behind Ye Lanchen with a pair of bright eyes, and asked: "How old are you this year?"

"Father, sister Lingxi is six years old." Meng Jingxiu replied.

Ye Lingxi hid behind her father and said, "I will be seven years old soon."

"Your Majesty, why don't we get married and get married?" King Pingnan waved his hand and patted Meng Tianlan on the shoulder. He didn't know how lethal his big hand of "slapping the bear to death" was. , the photo made his son sway forward.

Ye Lanchen said with a smile: "I also plan to hold a martial arts competition for Lingxi in the future to find a bride. Not only will I compete in martial arts, but I will also try my literary talents."

King Pingnan patted Meng Tianlan on the shoulder again and said very confidently: "This boy in my family has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Even the soldiers in the military camp can't beat him now. He also has a lot of ink in his stomach. He can recite poems at the age of three. Now, he is much better than I was back then. He speaks in a formal manner and is very literary when he hears it."

After hearing the last sentence, Meng Tianlan's calm face could no longer stand firm, and a strange look flashed across his face, showing a slight embarrassment.Meng Jingxiu, on the other hand, couldn't stand it anymore and laughed regardless of her image. When those calm and restrained eyes swept over her, she tactfully hid behind her father and said, "Father, my eldest brother is cruel to me."

"You little bastard, are you bullying your sister again?" King Pingnan waved his hand, and this time he slapped his son staggering. Eunuch De quickly went over to help him, and Ye Lanchen asked Meng Tianlan to come over to him, "You My father could knock someone to the ground with just one slap, and I suffered a lot back then."

"A good man doesn't mention his former bravery." King Pingnan rubbed his head a little embarrassedly, "What is past is past, don't forget it, Your Majesty."

Meng Jingxiu "snitched" and said: "Uncle Huang, my father doesn't dare to photograph people at home. What my mother and concubine say is whatever they say."

King Pingnan immediately blushed. Although it was blocked by the thick beard on his face, it was impossible to tell whether he was blushing or not.

Ye Lingxi was a little curious about Princess Pingnan. She didn't know what kind of strange woman could take care of a hero like King Pingnan.
