After rebirth, I became Little Marquis’s Bai Yueguang

Chapter 20

Yuan Lingheng couldn't ask in the end, but Yuan Miaoyi saw that he seemed to be a little depressed the next day, and thought it was because he was too late at the lantern festival yesterday and Yuan Lingheng didn't get a good rest.

As soon as Yuan Miaoyi returned to her yard, she asked Grandma Cui to make some soup and send it to Yuan Lingheng. Yuan Lingheng didn't want to offend her sister's kindness, so she took a nap after using it.

After resting for a while, he felt much better.After lunch, the palace sent an order for him to enter the palace to perform the duel.

Regarding the Jiangnan Road matter, Emperor Jingyuan had actually roughly figured out the whole story from Xiao Yunyue and the imperial envoy.But he still wanted to hear what happened from local officials in Jiangnan Province.

Unfortunately, the Jiangnan Road case is very involved, and basically everyone with a name is involved.Either the whole family has been executed, or they have been dismissed and exiled.

Only Yuan Lingheng arrived in Qingzhou shortly before the incident, and Xiao Yunyue said in front of Emperor Jingyuan that when he secretly investigated Jiangnan Road, Yuan Lingheng acted as a mediator and provided him with a lot of help.

There was nothing to be afraid of when facing Sheng Yuan Lingheng. He had already prepared the correct content in his mind.

Moreover, when he was in Qingzhou, he was personally involved in many things, so when the emperor asked him, he could answer fluently.

After the performance was over, Emperor Jingyuan asked someone to give Yuan Lingheng a cup of tea. Yuan Lingheng knew that this meant that he was very satisfied with the content of his performance.

After he thanked him, he took the teacup and just took a sip when Emperor Jingyuan asked: "Ai Qing seems to be the Jinshi this year?"

Yuan Lingheng put down the tea cup and bowed and replied: "Yes, I have been blessed by the Holy Spirit and selected as the second one."

When he said this, Emperor Jingyuan was impressed. He also remembered that the person in front of him also came from a noble family and was the eldest son of the Marquis of Rong'an.

Emperor Jingyuan didn't have a good impression of Marquis Rongan, but he didn't expect that the son he gave birth to was quite good.He is decisive and capable in his work, and he is also calm and restrained.

After drinking tea, Emperor Jingyuan asked his chamberlain to escort Yuan Lingheng out.As soon as the people here left, Zhou Ning next to him came in and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Dingguo wants to see you."

Emperor Jingyuan was still a little surprised as to why Xiao Yinghuai came at this time. Then he was surprised by the news Xiao Yinghuai brought: "Seriously? Is there any more accurate news?"

Xiao Yinghuai shook his head: "Not yet, but Youzhou and Jizhou have sent spies out, and the news should come back soon."

Emperor Jingyuan walked around the study room twice and said in a deep voice: "Don't slack off. I will leave this matter to Aiqing with full authority. You must get accurate information."

He was different from the late emperor, who never took Rouran outside the pass into his eyes when he was still alive.Even though Jinyun City was repeatedly invaded by Rouran, the late emperor never thought of actually launching an army.

But Emperor Jingyuan was different. He knew very well that only when his ambitions were really beaten hard and the pain was felt, he would be able to restrain his ambitions.

Besides, although Jinyun City is located in a frontier and is not as prosperous as Jiangnan, as long as it is Dayan's land, Dayan's people will not allow foreign enemies to invade even an inch.

Therefore, when he was still in the East Palace, he often had conflicts with the late emperor over this matter. Therefore, the late emperor preferred the third prince born from the Sun family.

Fortunately, Dayan was adept at martial arts, and most of the ministers in the court were from the war faction. Although Emperor Jingyuan lost his Sacred Heart, he also gained prestige in the court.

After he ascended the throne, his first major task was to prepare troops at the border fortress. The Sixteenth Cavalry of Youyun was also formed at that time.

Xiao Yinghuai bowed in response, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't be too worried. After all, it's not the same as it was a few years ago. Even if we really want to use troops, are we still afraid of them?"

At this time, Dayan is not what it used to be, and its internal worries have subsided. The inspection of Jiangnan Road a few days ago has enriched the national treasury.

The border troops have not been slacking off for a day in these years. At this time, Dayan really has the confidence to say that he is not afraid of anyone.

Emperor Jingyuan nodded slightly, and then asked: "Where is this boy Yunyue?" He got his official uniform and left the palace that day. I heard that he took leave from the court meeting today and did not come." Xiao Yinghuai smiled: "The princess has something to see him for. When I entered the palace, he was still in the princess mansion and had not come out."

And Xiao Yunyue would rather go to court by himself at the moment, even if he goes to the eastern suburbs camp to train soldiers, it is better than being forced here by his mother to ask which girl he likes.

It's just that Xiao Yunyue's mouth is stronger than the big brass lock outside the palace door. Apart from admitting that he does have a sweetheart, he refuses to reveal a word more.

The eldest princess of Jinyang refused to tell him no matter how she asked him.He could only sigh and say: "It's up to you, but don't do anything inappropriate. If you really like her, my mother will fulfill your wish no matter who it is."

"How could it be? I am really pleased with her." Xiao Yunyue said loudly after hearing what his mother said.

He really liked Yuan Miaoyi, so he didn't want to tell his parents first if he didn't win Yuan Miaoyi's heart. Naturally, he wouldn't do anything frivolous.

It is also because of sincerity that I treat everything about her carefully.

The eldest princess also knew that her son was not a libertine, so she just told him this and said, "Okay, okay, mother knows."

After saying that, he couldn't help but add: "But it's a good thing to wait a little longer. At least wait until Jianing has settled down first, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Princess Jianing didn't stop even after being locked up. She even smashed things yesterday. The inner palace was now in a state of uproar, and the queen was also exhausted mentally and physically.

But at this time, more than one person was upset. Yuan Lingheng was still thinking about what he was worried about last night on the way out of the palace.

The palace road was long and silent, and the palace attendant leading the way was silent. As Yuan Lingheng walked, he was thinking about how to ask his sister tactfully.

When he was about to leave the Shenwu Gate, the palace man leading the way suddenly stood to one side. Yuan Lingheng knew that he must have bumped into a noble person in the palace, so he also stood to the side.

Then I heard a palace official bowing and saying, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, please greet me."

Yuan Lingheng looked at the man in black robes in front of him. It turned out that he was the fourth prince, Yan Xuanche, the daughter of Concubine De.

I heard that he is the first prince to be allowed to leave the palace and build a palace, and I am afraid that he will be crowned king by the end of the year at the latest.He was the youngest among the princes, but he was the first to be crowned king, which shows how much the emperor loves him.

Then he bowed his hands and said, "I have met His Highness the Fourth Prince."

Yan Xuanche is similar in age to Xiao Yunyue, but he already has a family.He inherited the good looks of the Dayan royal family, with long eyebrows that slanted into his temples, phoenix eyes and thin lips, and a dignified temperament.

"No courtesy." Yan Xuanche glanced at Yuan Lingheng and said, "Your Excellency looks a little unfamiliar. It seems that he has never been seen in the palace."

Yuan Lingheng said: "Yes, I have been an official for a short time, and now I am serving as the official of Runzhou Prefecture and joining the army."

Yan Xuanche knew that Emperor Jingyuan had summoned an official who had made great achievements in Jiangnan Province to the palace today. He thought it was this person, but he didn't expect him to be so young.

Seeing that Yan Xuanche seemed to be interested in continuing the conversation, the palace attendant following Yan Xuanche said anxiously: "Your Highness, the empress is still waiting in the palace."

Only then did Yan Xuanche remember that his mother-in-law had reported something to him. Upon seeing this, Yuan Lingheng said, "Your Highness, please go first."

Yan Xuanche was afraid that Concubine De would be anxious in the palace.Although he intended to make friends with Yuan Lingheng, he had no choice but to take the first step.
