Lie down and eat melon in the protagonist group

Chapter 48 Chapter 5 Changji
In early March of the second year of Changji, the border wars were successful one after another. Ling Feng returned to Beijing and resumed his duties. The emperor named him General for the Expedition to the West and gave him a mansion.

Zheng Bingsu, who was living in Ling's house and was waiting to be married, heard that Ling Feng had returned to the capital. He climbed out of the wall in the middle of the night and climbed into General Zhengxi's mansion, but was caught by the guards.

The guard held her shoulders tightly, and Zheng Bingsu struggled hard and shouted: "I want to see Ling Feng! I am his unmarried wife! If he wants to climb a high tree, he must first ask me if I am willing!"

At the celebration banquet, Empress Dowager Zhu asked about Ling Feng's marriage status. On the same day, rumors spread that Ling Feng wanted Princess Shang to be his consort.

When the news reached Zheng Bingsu's ears, she could not sit still. She knocked out the mother-in-law sent by the Ling family to guard her, and broke into the general's mansion overnight to question Ling Feng face to face.

The guards heard that Zheng Bingsu was Ling Feng's fiancée, and immediately let Zheng Bingsu go. The crowd dispersed, and Ling Feng came forward wearing regular clothes.

Zheng Bingsu rushed up with red eyes, raised her hand and slapped him in the face.

There was a crisp sound, and Ling Feng turned his face. His subordinates were stunned for a moment, then recovered and drew their swords, and shouted sharply: "Bold!"

Ling Feng raised his hand to stop his subordinate Protector's move.

He said to Zheng Bingsu: "If you have anything to do, come in and tell me."

Zheng Bingsu held back tears and said with stubborn eyes, "Why, great general, do you dare to abandon Princess Shang? Do you feel guilty for doing such a dirty thing? I'm afraid that outsiders will hear about it?! I'm not as good as me. You wish! I have to say it here!"

The subordinates immediately retreated from the crowd, and the garden became empty, leaving only the two of them looking at each other. The spring breeze turned into rain, and the pattering of rain made it look empty.

The soft raindrops floated on his face, Ling Feng sighed and explained: "I don't have Princess Shang."

"It's said that there are noses and eyes." Zheng Bingsu wiped his face casually, and his sleeves got wet. "Who are you lying to?!"

Ling Feng said: "I asked the emperor for a marriage. You and I will get married in the middle of the month and return to camp at the end of the month."

Zheng Bingsu was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice and shouted at him: "I don't believe it!"

Ling Feng smiled honestly, "The holy edict is in my room, do you want to take a look?"

Zheng Bingsu pushed his shoulder, and Ling Feng followed the force of her push and turned around. Zheng Bingsu's tears fell down in the rain, but her voice was as smooth as ever, "Of course I want to watch! Lead the way!"

"Are you crying?" Ling Feng seemed to realize something and turned around, but Zheng Bingsu raised his hand and said goodbye.

"No! What's there to cry about? I didn't cry even after my mother died!" Zheng Bingsu said harshly, "How dare you lie to me? Believe it or not, I will beat you until you cry!"

Zheng Bingsu pushed Ling Feng out of the garden, and Ling Cen's head emerged from the wet wall, followed closely by Ling Qiong's head.

Ling Cen lowered his voice and said, "Second sister-in-law lied, she was obviously crying."

Ling Qiong said: "Hey, your eyes are so good? You can see her from such a distance. Tsk, I thought the wife who came to my door was going to run away."

Ling Cen said proudly: "I can't run away. If I run away, we will help my second brother to chase him back."

The spring rain continued, and the two siblings were lying on the wall muttering, but Ji Si was standing under the outer wall. He saw Ling Qiong on his neck, and next to him was Xiao Shuang who was standing facing the wall. Ling Cen on his neck was wearing the same The posture of riding astride.

In mid-March, Ling Feng got married.

The bride Zheng Bingsu married from the Yang family, and Ling Qiong and Master Xu sat in the high hall.

The wedding was in order. When Zheng Bingsu went to the General Mansion's warehouse the next day to take stock of the gifts, he discovered that the Si family had secretly sent two hundred thousand taels of silver notes and two rows of silver, one row of gold, and various deeds such as the store title deed at the bottom of the box. Gold and silver jewelry, silks, cloths, silver ornaments, paintings, calligraphy, porcelain and other items were all placed in the pile of betrothal gift boxes, with a total of ten large boxes.

Zheng Bingsu came to Ling Feng with the gift book and asked, "Is this a mistake?"

Ling Feng was good at leading troops and fighting, but he didn't care about his family. He couldn't make up his mind and said, "Ask my eldest sister later."

Go to Yang's house in Guining on the third day.

Zheng Bingsu told Ling Qiong about this.

Ling Qiong smiled and said, "Just keep it safely and don't make any noise."

Ling Feng was able to successfully marry Zheng Bingsu, and the Si family put a lot of effort into it.

As soon as Zheng Bingsu got married, Ling Feng took Blacksmith Zheng, who was temporarily living in the Yang family, back to the General's Mansion, and even specially built a stove for Blacksmith Zheng to spend time forging iron in the mansion.

Ling Jing gave Kwai Ching to Zheng Bingsu to help Zheng Bingsu manage the general's mansion.

Seeing that the end of the month was approaching, Ling Feng returned to the battlefield.

On the eve of the Qingming Festival in April, the Ling family returned to Yuzhou to pay tribute to their ancestors. Ling Jing happened to be in confinement. Yang Gan was worried that she would travel far away, and the Yang family followed her.

This time we were taking the waterway. Ling Jing opened the cabin window and said, "I wish the Queen Mother will really take advantage of every opportunity."

"Without the Emperor's acquiescence, Empress Dowager Zhu would not have been able to say this." Ling Huai said, "So my grandfather complied with the Emperor's wishes and proposed to resign."

Ling Jing chuckled: "Lin Yiheng dares to let people go?"

Ling Huai said: "I was promoted and demoted secretly, and was given a sinecure."

Ling Jing asked: "Who is responsible? The Xia family? Lin Yiheng should not be so stupid."

Ling Huai smacked his palm with his fan, "My younger brother, King Lin Yikang of Jinjiang."

Just as he was talking, Ling Qiong raised the curtain and came in, followed closely by Ji into the cabin.

"Why did eldest sister suddenly think of going back to worship the ancestors?" Ling Jing took out two cups and poured tea. "We must be gathering together to discuss something."

Ling Qiong looked worried, raised her head to drink, and dropped the glass with a thud on the table, "Do you know why the Queen Mother Zhu wants Princess Afengshang?"

Ling Jing said: "To remove Si Yunye's power."

Ji has refilled the cup for Ling Qiong, "This is one of them. Whether it is the fourth girl, the fifth young master, or the second young master, they are all paving the way, just because the emperor wants the eldest girl to enter the palace as a concubine. This is the second one." Previously, the Si family had declined the marriage offer time and time again, and the emperor was very kind to him. Now that he has issued an order to admit the eldest girl into the palace, the Si family can only comply with the order. If he refuses to comply with the order, the emperor will just use it. He will be angry and punished."

Ling Jing and Ling Huai looked at each other, this didn't happen in their last life.

"Isn't there a Queen Si Yun in the palace?" Ling Jing was shocked. Lin Yiheng was too greedy, and his cooperation was not enough, so he had to kill Ling Qiong to collect money for him.

After passing the rare museum incident, Ling Dang was exposed, and the Si family recognized him too early.

Although the Si family has not claimed all the children of the Ling family now, several children of the Ling family have been recognized by people all over the capital as members of the Si family.

Ling Qiong was good at business, Ling Feng was well-trained in military affairs, rich and powerful, and his surname was Ling on the surface, but his surname was actually Si Yun. The Si family had a say in the court, so how could Lin Yiheng, as the emperor, not guard against it.

Careless.

They rely too much on past life experiences, but ignore the changes that will occur once this life changes.

I didn't have much contact with Lin Yiheng in my previous life. I only knew that Lin Yiheng was warlike and militaristic. He indulged in extravagant pleasures and indulged in fun in the parks, while the government was lax. He also relied on nepotism, which led to chaos in the court. In the end, Xie Lu conspired with several other ministers to depose him. Fearing that Jinjiang King Lin Yikang would resist, they used the Queen Mother's decree to demote Lin Yikang to a commoner and expel him from the capital. He was soon killed and Xie Lu and the others installed the infant emperor on the throne. .

The young emperor was not born to Empress Si Yun, but to a beauty from a humble family in the palace.

In order to check each other, the ministers appointed Lin Yilong, the unruly king of Wuxuan, as regent. Unexpectedly, Lin Yilong, who was physically and mentally disabled but not mentally disabled, secretly gathered strength to eradicate the ministers who had participated in the dethronement of the emperor one by one. Xie Lu fled in panic and raised troops to resist the imperial court. It's a pity that Xie Lu had the talent to plan the world, but he had no ability to lead an army, so he could not escape death in the end.

Lin Yilong became the uncrowned king and naturally ascended the throne as emperor.

Ling Huai gently folded the folding fan and recalled what Si Yunye said before going out today, "The waterway is good, borrow the wind to borrow strength, go with the flow, and have a smooth journey." He vaguely guessed something.

Si Yunye should have expected this.

Yue Mo guessed what Si Yunye was planning. Ling Huai chuckled and said, "The emperor does not necessarily come out of the empress's belly."

Three pairs of eyes turned to him.

Ling Huai said calmly: "Don't forget your eldest sister's life experience."

Ling Qiong slapped the table, "Ask me to give birth to a child for Lin Yiheng?! It's absolutely impossible! Lin Yiheng is domineering, selfish, stingy, and purely chauvinistic. I have no idea about him! I can't even talk about it!"

"When a child comes out of your belly, it can only be confirmed that it is your child." Ling Huai unfolded his fan and covered his face, revealing only a pair of dark eyes. He said quietly, "As for who the biological father is, the world only knows that you are The emperor's concubine, who dares to say that this child is not the emperor's? The father dies and the son inherits, and the country of the Southern Kingdom returns to its old owner."

Ling Qiong was startled and muttered "fuck".

Ling Jing's Ren Du's two pulses were immediately unblocked, and she glanced back and forth between Ling Qiong and Ji Ji. She finally looked at Ji Ji, "Your martial arts skills are so good that you are worthy of being a gentleman on the throne. Aren't you also able to pick flowers deep in the palace with ease?"

Ji Ji: "..."

Ling Huai looked Ji Zai up and down for a while, his eyes showing suspicion, "Then again, you have been with my eldest sister for two years, why have you been silent? Are you sure you can do it?"

Ji Ji: "..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jing looked at it and said to Ling Qiong, whose mind was on strike, "If it doesn't work, just find another one quickly."

Ling Qiong: "..." Who said that the ancients were feudal? ! Compared with the two of them, she is a remnant of feudalism!

Ji has glanced sideways at Ling Qiong, then moved away carelessly. It was rare for Ling Qiong to see a hint of embarrassment in his calm eyes that was almost shattering.

Ling Qiong felt ashamed for a moment, but found his appearance really interesting, as if a thick stack of rules and regulations had been scorched by fire, and the greed that broke the rules and restraint was the most tempting. She immediately raised her forehead to cover her face, resisting the corners of her mouth rising, and helped him out, "I was afraid of the pain of giving birth, and wanted to play with it for a few more years, so I never wanted it."

Ling Huai nodded in relief and said, "Ask Acen to get some Gu that can induce hallucinations and dream weaving. If necessary, feed Lin Yiheng some medicine."

Ling Jing said: "The child must never come out of someone else's belly."

"Well," Ling Qiong hesitated. She didn't want to harm innocent people. "If something happens to Lin Yiheng, will the concubines in the palace be buried without children?"

Ling Huai raised his eyes slightly and said without saltiness: "If you don't sacrifice yourself to death, let tigers become a problem? Once the emperor and his ministers sit down and sleep on the couch, how can they allow others to snore and sleep? You are not afraid that one day they will rebel." Heart, collude with foreign ministers to take your life? When Emperor Wu of Zhou ascended the throne, he said it was a Zen throne, but why did Emperor Gong'an and Queen Wenzhen die within a year? And where are the concubines and maids who served the emperor and empress of the Jin Dynasty back then? Where?"

Ling Qiong: "..."

Ling Jing took Ling Qiong's hand and said, "Sister, when you enter the palace, remember to be gentle. Don't be in touch with each other, keep your words to yourself, don't be greedy in food and drink, don't reveal your likes and dislikes, that is, your life will be hanging by a thread. No one can be trusted there except yourself."

The boat followed the current and the wind until it reached Shangfucheng Ferry.

The family went to the ancestral hall to burn incense. The Yang family held their children and went back to the Yang family in Pingli Yi Lane with Ling Jing to worship. Pei Zhanqing took Fu'an back to the Fu family to burn incense.

Ling Qiong and Ling Huai led the big pair and the little pair to the back mountain, and Ji was already at the last lookout.

Hoe after hoe dug out holes, revealing books buried in the ground. Under the layers of books, there was a square cloth handkerchief, which contained a token of the last eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty.

Ling Qiong packed up the keepsake, patted the plaster on her palms, and walked back, "It may not be useful. I'll dig it out and take it back to another place to hide it. I'll feel more at ease after all."

Several people dug up the tokens and got into the back door one by one.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Ling Dang who was looking for him.

Ling Dang pointed to the hoes carried on the shoulders of the elder pair and the younger pair, and asked, "You went to the back mountain?"

"Yes." Ling Huai stepped forward, "Go dig spring bamboo shoots in the mountains."

"Oh." Ling Dang followed Ling Huai's lead and turned around, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Ling Huai knew her temper well and said with a smile: "The road on the mountain is slippery and difficult to walk on. It is easy to fall down. I didn't call you. I will take you with me next time."

Ling Dang glanced at them. Except for the mud brought back by the shoes, socks and trouser legs, there was no shadow of bamboo shoots. He asked doubtfully: "Where are the bamboo shoots dug?"

Ling Huai responded fluently, "The mountain path was really difficult to walk. I wandered around halfway. I just found a bamboo cage and dug a few times with my hoe. I found all the bamboo shoots and threw them away."

Ling Qiong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ling Dang being coaxed back by Ling Huai with a few words.

The house has not been occupied for a long time and needs to be cleaned.

The inner courtyard of the female relatives on the second floor of the main hall was cleared out, and the group of people stayed in separate rooms.

When the Yang family came back from worshiping, Yang's mother said, "The yard where you used to live was robbed, and all the valuables were gone."

Father Yang was sitting under the eaves of the verandah, smoking leaf cigarettes, blowing out circles of white smoke, and said slowly: "I asked the neighbors. I heard a noise in the night of the first lunar month a year ago. I thought it was a wild cat getting in. I saw the door lock in the morning. After it was broken, I realized there was a thief. I reported it to the police and checked it for a few days. I couldn’t find out whether it was right or wrong, so I closed the case and closed the case.”

Ling Qiong waved her hand and said, "It's okay, there aren't many valuable things anyway."

At night, the whole family gathered together neatly. Ling Qiong was happy and drank a lot of wine.

Ling Qiong was drunk, her eyes were blurred, she pointed at Zheng Bingsu, and then rowed towards Ling Jing and Yang Gan, and finally stopped at the baby in Yang's arms. She sighed drunkenly, "Everyone has a family, it's great. Ah, that’s great, hehe.”

Ling Jing said to Ji Ji: "Eldest sister is drunk, help her back to the house to rest first."

When Ji had half hugged and half hugged Ling Qiong and left, Ling Jing suppressed her smile and forced her face to smile happily again: "Everyone, let me tell you something. After returning to Beijing, the eldest sister will enter the palace."

Ling Cen raised his head from the wine cup and said, "Enter the palace?"

Lingdang's heart pounded, "What do you mean?"

Ling Huai added completely, "Enter the palace and become a concubine."

The originally harmonious dinner table fell into silence.

"Crazy?!" Ling Cen stood up in a hurry.

"Sister, aren't you following Ji Ji..." Lingdang suddenly stopped talking mid-sentence.

Pei Zhanqing asked: "Did the eldest girl enter the palace voluntarily?"

Ling Jing sighed and didn't reply. It didn't matter whether she volunteered or not. She said to Pei Zhanqing: "Aunt Qing, I'll leave the Ling family's business to you from now on. Da Shuang will follow the eldest sister into the palace, and Xiao Shuang will stay here." I'll help you. Don't worry, I won't go away. If you don't understand anything, you can ask him."
