Alien love

Chapter 21

In the Imperial Palace of Tianyi City in the Xuan Kingdom, the Emperor Ling Yan was dressed in casual clothes and leaned on the throne of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. There were scrolls of scrolls in front of the desk. Wearing light plum blossom makeup, Shuli's clear and beautiful face is as graceful as a banished fairy, extremely beautiful.

He rested his chin on one hand, seemed to be lost in thought, and didn't make a sound for a long time.The accompanying servants are also stationed quietly outside the hall.The ambergris incense exclusively for the emperor was lit in the hall, and light smoke curled up from the hollowed-out dragon-carved incense table. The light in the room was a bit dim, making his face a little sallow, and the fine wrinkles around his eyes were clearly visible. However, the years still left its footprints on his handsome cheeks.

Eunuch Yanxi, who was beside the emperor, walked in quietly, and asked softly beside the emperor, "Long live, it's time to light the lamp, will my servant light the lamp for the emperor?"

Only then did Ling Yan recover from his contemplation, and a pair of eagle-like eyes swept over Yan Xi, immediately making Yan Xi feel as if he had passed through a severe winter, with a bone-chilling coldness, his body shivering involuntarily.

Ling Yan lowered his eyes and sighed slightly. How long has it been since he thought of her coming?The whole body exudes a crystal brilliance like snow jade, a woman who is like a heavenly man!There is an unforgettable pair of water eyes that are as bright as stars, and a slight smile can fascinate thousands of people. However, she always shows a slight smile in front of him, and she only smiles when facing their son. .He had her body, but had he had her heart?

Ling Yan carefully put away the scroll, turned around and said to Yanxi, "Hold the lamp!"

"Yes. Your majesty, just now the empress sent someone to invite you, Lord Long Live, to have a meal at Qingfeng Palace!" Yan Xi said softly, bowing his waist.

"Well, I know!"

Empress Lian Yunrou is his first wife, they met when they were young, they can be said to be childhood sweethearts.She comes from a noble family and noble family. She was the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Lian Guodong when the late emperor was in the court. At that time, she was just a prince who was not favored very much. She lived in the deep palace. If she didn't have the protection and love of the emperor, she would be considered a prince. , and will not be respected by others.He lived alone since he was a child, until Lian Yunrou appeared in his world.

She is a passionate and straightforward woman. She taught the servants who did not serve their duties because of him the first time they met.She showed him an innocent smile, and said: "My name is Lian Yunrou, and I will be friends with you from now on. If those slaves still dare to neglect you, just tell me, and I will let my father cut them off." head."

They were both 12 years old at that time, and since then he secretly made up his mind to marry her when he grows up.That year, he was registered as the crown prince, which is undoubtedly inseparable from the support of Prime Minister Lian Guodong.They got married in the same year, and they were in love with each other until he met Piaoxue.

Piaoxue is Yunrou's concubine's younger sister, but even though it was just the first time he met her, he suddenly lost his soul for her who seemed to fall into the mortal world by accident and be contaminated with a trace of mortal ties. Compared with Yunrou's enthusiasm and frankness, Piaoxue is that This kind of introverted woman is as cold as ice and snow.He fell in love with her hopelessly, even disregarding Yunrou's objection, being sad, disregarding Piaoxue's feelings, he insisted on going his own way and took her domineeringly.

But after all, he still hasn't won her heart, has he?Withdrawing his thoughts from the memory, Ling Yan smiled wryly, got up and opened the palace door, and walked towards the Queen's Qingfeng Palace.Yanxi and a group of servants led the way for him with palace lanterns.After crossing several palace gates, I arrived at the Queen's Qingfeng Palace.

The empress Lian Yunrou had already dressed and dressed early and was waiting at the gate of the palace. When Ling Yan arrived at the gate of Qingfeng Palace, she could see the empress coming out from the main hall from a distance.After paying respects, the queen said with a smile: "The emperor has a lot of business in the previous court for many days, but he must also be careful about his holy body. The concubine asked the new imperial chef to prepare a lot of food that the emperor likes. The emperor will wait for a while. And try it!"

Ling Yan took her hand and walked into the hall, said with a smile: "Yunrou is complaining that I haven't come to see you these days?"

The Queen's footsteps were slightly sluggish, did he call her boudoir name?Heh, how long has it been since he called his boudoir name?After Piaoxue left?Yes, after her own sister left, he always looked at her with sorrow and resentment. Since then, he has never heard him call his name, but called him queen.Now, does he call her by her name, does it mean that he has let go of Piaoxue and no longer hates himself?

A wry smile flashed across the corner of the queen's mouth: "How dare you? The emperor handled government affairs in the previous dynasty. Although the concubines miss the emperor, as the masters of the world, the concubines should set an example and set an example for other younger sisters, so that the emperor Handle state affairs with peace of mind without any worries. How dare you blame the emperor!"

Ling Yan sat in front of the table, the queen ordered the maids to pass the meal, and sat down opposite the emperor.At this time, the food has been delivered in an endless stream, and the aroma is overflowing.

Ling Yan nodded with a smile and said: "The cook in the imperial palace is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Seeing that the dishes are already fragrant, I don't know how they taste."

The queen pursed her lips and said with a light smile: "Then let's try it, the emperor. If they can get a reward from the emperor, they will not waste their lives."

The palace maids were serving dishes for the two masters one by one. Ling Yan picked up a piece of mushroom meat and put it into his mouth, chewed it lightly, and gave the queen a very appreciative look: "This taste is also very good, The mushrooms are fragrant and the inside is crispy, I never thought that such a simple dish can be so delicious, I deserve it!"

"Hehe, the concubine thanked the emperor for the reward on behalf of those cooks!" The queen smiled gracefully.

During the dinner, the two chatted happily. The queen always talked about the past when the two knew each other intentionally or unintentionally. Ling Yan was also very emotional. The years have passed by so quickly, and now they have to say that they are old ah!

After the meal, the empress personally made a pot of tea for Ling Yan, she walked lightly to Ling Yan and said with a smile: "A few days ago, this child, You'er, brought some West Lake Dragon Well tea to my concubine. It’s okay, Your Majesty, give it a try!”

Ling Yan leaned against the edge, opened his squinted eyes, took the cup of tea handed over by the queen, lifted the lid of the cup, took a sip, hummed lightly, and said, "This child really cares about you!"

The empress couldn't understand the praise and criticism in the emperor's words, so she tentatively said: "Your majesty, I heard that the previous court had a lot of troubles in setting up the crown prince, and the court has the highest voice for Yu'er, but the concubine feels that This child, Youer, is still not safe enough to do things, and there are still a lot of things that need to be experienced, so it is really difficult to be a big responsibility. The concubine thinks that Ye'er is more suitable, and Ye'er is better than Youer in terms of martial arts and martial arts!"

Ling Yan put the teacup on the table, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You really think so?" He seemed not to believe his ears, although he also hoped that Ling Ye would be the crown prince more, but the court minister It was quite a headache for him to support Ling You almost overwhelmingly. He did not expect that Ling You's biological mother would say this to him as a middle palace. Didn't she always reject Piaoxue and Ye'er?These are her true words?No, Ling Yan didn't think so, he knew his first wife, but he couldn't guess what she meant when she said that.

"All the thoughts and thoughts of the concubine are for the foundation of our Xuanguo, and there is no selfishness!" The queen's phoenix eyes shone brightly, with infinite sincerity.

"Well, the matter of setting up a crown prince is related to the country's great plan, and I will definitely think it over carefully."

"This is a matter of course. Besides, the emperor is in his prime, and the concubines are still thinking about why those courtiers should worry about the state reserve. However, establishing a reserve early can also allow the prince to help the emperor share state affairs and handle some government affairs. The emperor will also Don't have to work so hard!"

The emperor hummed lightly, and without another word, he leaned on the bed with his eyes closed, breathing evenly, as if he had already fallen asleep.

The queen sat quietly by the side, stretched out her hand to gently caress Ling Yan's sleeping peaceful face, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and said bitterly in her heart: "Sure enough, the most beloved thing in your heart is that bitch and her son. !"

*****

In the imperial study room, Mo Haoran handed the letter sent by Yinwei to Ling Yan. The emperor glanced at Haoran, lowered his eyes, opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and read it.After a long while, he raised his head and said excitedly: "Ye'er actually went to Li country to help Li Zixin to repel Xiyue's invasion together. Why is this kid so impulsive? Haoran, help me stop him, he hasn't really come up yet. How can you experience the cruelty on the battlefield after being on the battlefield?"

"Going back to the emperor, I'm afraid it's too late. You know the temper of the third highness the emperor best. When he asked Wei Feng to deliver the letter to Yinwei, he had already set off from Crescent City to Jingcheng of Li Guo. I'm afraid he has already arrived. .” Hao Ran stood beside the imperial case respectfully with both hands clasped fists and replied.

"Confused!" Ling Yan swept away the memorial on the imperial case in a fit of anger, and the huge imperial study was instantly silent, except for the sound of things falling to the ground.

Mo Haoran raised his head and glanced at the furious emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I think it may not be a bad thing for His Highness the Third Highness to go this time."

"Oh? Come and listen to me!"

"In the early days, your majesty, you have already told the ministers that Li Guo will fight against Xiyue, and I, Xuan Guo, will definitely support it with all my strength. Then at this moment, the third highness will go to Li Guo to help, just to let the world see our Xuan Guo's support for the allies. Sincerity, not just verbal promises. Your Majesty knows that you are very troubled by the one-sided support of the ministers in the court recently for His Highness to be the crown prince. If the Third Highness can help Li Guo repel Xiyue's iron cavalry this time, so can he. To gain the approval of the people in the world, the result will definitely be different when the crown prince is discussed. Besides, with the martial arts of the Third Highness, it is impossible for ordinary people to hurt him, and he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he has a certain understanding of marching and formation. I believe that this battle will be a training for His Highness in life, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!" Haoran finished the analysis in one breath, stood aside and quietly looked at the squinting monarch sitting in front of him.

Ling Yan stood up from the imperial chair, walked to the window, looked at the autumn lotus in the lotus pond in the distance, and sighed slightly: "Forget it, let him go. Let's announce my will at the court tomorrow." In order to show Xuanguo's support for Liguo, the emperor's third son, Ling Ye, was specially sent to Liguo to help defend against the enemy, and to advance and retreat with Liguo. In this way, it is justifiable for Ye'er to go there."

"Your subordinates take orders!" Hao Ran stood behind Ling Yan and knelt down to receive the orders.He stood up and asked with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, I think that if Li Guo knew that Xiyue was coming, and understood Xiyue's intentions, maybe he wouldn't have sent troops!"

"You don't understand? Well, I think that with Li Zixin's character, even if he knew about it, he would send troops without hesitation. Hehe, that's good, so we can see where Li Guo's true strength is!" Ling Yan just now The worried and dignified tone was swept away, replaced by a kind of leisurely, waiting to watch a play!

"This subordinate understands!" Mo Haoran looked at the emperor, smiled knowingly, and said respectfully.

*****

The next day, the appointment of the emperor's third son, Ling Ye, to help the Li country defend against the enemy was announced in the court, and the courtiers were all stunned. They didn't know what the emperor wanted to do this time. Sending a military general to the court, or helping with supplies, turned out to be sending a prince who had no experience in leading troops in combat.But the emperor's holy will has been made, even though the ministers have objections, they dare not refute easily.Only Ling You looked unwilling, and walked into the Queen's Qingfeng Palace with a livid face.

The queen looked at the displeased face of her son who came back from the early court, and asked anxiously: "Why does Youer have such an expression? Did something happen in the court?"

"My queen, this morning my father issued a decree for Ling Ye to go to Li country to help them repel the Xiyue soldiers. Hmph, why does that monster represent Xuan country? Mother, I am not reconciled. What can I do better than him? Why does my father always see his kindness, am I not his son in his eyes?" Ling You shouted a little angrily, clenched his hands into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands burst out of anger.

The queen shook her head in surprise, and hid countless sighs in her chest, walked over and patted Ling You on the shoulder to comfort her: "You child, you are becoming more and more unruly, and you dare to say such outrageous things casually." Exit? You, you are too straightforward, why are you so impatient?"

"But..." When Ling You was about to say something more, the queen held him down, looked around, and a group of servants retreated knowingly, and gently closed the palace door.

The queen leaned over and whispered in Ling You's ear: "He wants to go to the battlefield, so let him go. Hmph, if a prince with no actual combat experience goes to fight the ambitious Xiyue soldiers, who can predict who will win? Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, even though he is superb in martial arts, don't forget Xiyue's rain arrows, they are all good at archery, this so-called robbing is easy to hide, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against, when you say that there is an emergency, then He can only blame himself for his poor fate!"

Hearing the queen mother's analysis, Ling You suddenly felt enlightened, with a sly smile on his face, nodded and said: "The queen mother is right, it's because the child is not thinking thoroughly, and almost ruined the big thing."

The queen straightened her back and said with an elegant smile: "Remember, don't always write your thoughts on your face, focus more on court affairs, and don't let people see that you have a plan in everything you do. Father is not such an easy-to-fool person!"

"My child, remember!" Ling You replied seriously, looking at the graceful and graceful mother in front of him.
