Love the concubine

Chapter 580 Extra Story Ending 5
The bustling streets of Chang'an City are buzzing with people. Although today is not an important festival, it is filled with lights and festoons everywhere. The reason is that today is the 16th birthday of the current Emperor and his sister, Princess Ning Le!
The emperor's birthday, together with the princess and Ji, is naturally grander, so the day before, the emperor issued an imperial decree to exempt all localities for a year from taxes, intending to celebrate with the whole world!

"If you want to say that the current emperor is really good, I have nothing to say! I celebrate my birthday, and I still think of us ordinary people. I really care about the people. What a rare good emperor!"

Almost everyone in the tea house was discussing this matter, and they all felt that the current emperor is a rare wise emperor in the world, and they all praised the current emperor.

"Hey, what you said is wrong!" Just as the man before finished speaking, someone who disagreed with his words appeared immediately.

"Although the emperor is good now, our King Ping was not bad before! When he was in power, he was exempted from tax once every two years. If there is a sudden famine or something, the disaster money will always be sent to him immediately. Disaster, do you dare to say that the previous King Ping was not good?"

"I didn't say that!" The man immediately dismissed it, thought for a while and said: "However, the current emperor is also a descendant of Prince Ping, but the blue is better than the blue!"

Hearing what she said, everyone nodded in agreement.

In a corner of the teahouse, a man heard their conversation, took a sip of the tea in front of him, put a few copper coins on the table, got up and walked out of the teahouse.

"Princess? Princess? Strange, where did the princess go?"

Inside the palace, several maids were looking for their master everywhere, but they searched all over the imperial garden, but they still couldn't find their princess.

"What's wrong? Your princess disappeared again?"

Just when the maids were anxiously searching, Ling Zihan walked over from the corridor of the palace, seeing their anxious appearance, he guessed what happened again.

"See Eldest Princess, Eldest Princess, she doesn't know where she is, the ceremony will start soon, what if it's late!"

Hearing the anxiety and worry of the maids, Ling Zihan sighed softly, and then said to them; "Okay, you guys go down first, I will go find her."

"Yes" the palace maids agreed in unison, and then all retreated.

The other section of the imperial garden is a small carp pond. Except for the palace people who come here to clean it, few people come here.

At this time, a young girl was sitting on the stone by the pool, staring at the fish swimming in the pool in a daze, not knowing what she was really thinking.

"You knew you were hiding here."

A familiar voice broke the tranquility around her. Ling Tianxue turned around and saw Ling Zihan walking towards her alone.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Seeing her aunt coming here, Ling Tianxue looked puzzled, obviously she hadn't realized what was going on.

Seeing this, Ling Zihan pretended to stare at her, and came to her side before saying, "Why did I come here? Didn't I come here myself because those girls couldn't find you?"

"Today is your 16th birthday. After a while, you should follow your brother to worship your ancestors. What are you doing hiding here alone?"

As soon as Ling Zihan finished asking, Ling Tianxue looked listless, looked into the pool and said, "So what about the 16th birthday, isn't it the same as in previous years?"

"How can it be the same, 16 years old proves that you have grown up, and you are no longer that ignorant child who needs to be guarded all the time!"

Hearing this, Ling Tianxue seemed to be lost in thought, and murmured: "Yes, I've grown up. I used to wish I could grow up quickly so that I could see you sooner."

"I look forward to the stars and the moon every day, and I finally hoped for this day, but...why don't you come?" She spoke in a softer voice, so low that even Ling Zihan, who was standing beside him, couldn't hear clearly. What exactly did she say.

Seeing that this time is coming soon, Ling Zihan couldn't care about anything else, so he pulled her out and said, "Okay, let's go back and prepare quickly, your mother, queen, father, and the emperor will all be here today, you can't just hide here forever place?"

Being dragged away from the carp pond by her aunt like this, until she returned to her bedroom, Ling Tianxue was still depressed.

Seeing that the eldest princess had found her own princess back, the ladies in the palace finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then under Ling Zihan's orders, they began to help Ling Tianxue tidy up. After about an hour, they finally got everything in order.

Seeing her dressed up niece standing in front of her, Ling Zihan couldn't help but praise: "Our Tianxue is really getting more and more beautiful. Your mother must be very happy to see her after a while!"

"Have the Queen Mother returned?" Ling Tianxue looked at the person in front of her and asked.

Since Ling Wuying insisted on handing over the throne to Ling Tianyi two years ago despite the objections of the courtiers, she took Yun Xi away from Chang'an, and no longer cared about the affairs of the court.

The two of them traveled around the mountains and rivers all year round, and even rarely came back to the palace. They only came back to see their children during the Chinese New Year!

Today is the day when the two children are truly adults, and they, as parents, will naturally come back to visit.

"Not yet, but it should be soon. You should know that your mother cares about you most in her heart, so she will come back in time for your birthday anyway." Ling Zihan said while helping her straighten her collar.

Hearing this, Ling Tianxue nodded in agreement, then thought of something, and asked hesitantly: "Then aunt, will brother Fengsheng come?"

"Fengsheng? He is so far away in Quanzhou, and I heard that since he opened the medicine hall to teach, he has a lot of things to do every day, so he probably can't come here!"

"Oh." Hearing that Lu Fengsheng would not come, Ling Tianxue immediately became disappointed.

Ling Zihan didn't seem to notice her loss. After tidying her up, she said to her: "Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the imperial ancestral hall first."

Ling Tianxue didn't speak, but nodded dully, and then walked out of the palace with her, and walked straight along the palace corridor to the imperial ancestral hall.

At the same time, in the imperial study room on the other side
"Brother, please wait here for a moment. The emperor should be preparing for the noon ceremony at this moment, and he will be here soon." Heng Wang Lingtian is leading Lu Fengsheng to the imperial study room, smiling at him Said.

Hearing this, Lu Fengsheng also smiled and replied: "I really want to thank King Heng today. If I hadn't met you, I might still be standing outside the gate of the palace."

Lu Fengsheng actually arrived in Chang'an early in the morning, knowing that today is the birthday of Princess Ning Le and the emperor, he immediately rushed to the palace after drinking tea from the teahouse.

Because he hadn't been back for many years, the guards guarding the gate didn't recognize him, which caused many obstacles at the gate of his palace. Fortunately, Ling Tianzheng happened to be entering the palace too, and when he met him outside, he took him away. Come in.

Hearing his thanks, Ling Tianzheng immediately waved his hands and said, "What did you say, brother? We are considered a family, so there is no need to say this word of thanks, because it will look unfamiliar."

When talking about the family, he deliberately emphasized his tone, as if there was something in his words.After Lu Fengsheng heard it, he didn't seem to understand his implication, and joked: "It's my fault to say so."

The two chatted for a while in the imperial study, and Ling Tianyi, who had already changed into his dragon robe, came in from outside.

Although this Ling Tianyi was only sixteen years old, he didn't have the slightest childishness in wearing the dragon robe, and there was a natural majesty between the brows that looked very much like Ling Wuying.

Seeing him walking in, Lu Fengsheng immediately stood up from his chair, cupped his fists and bowed to the person walking towards him: "The grass people see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Brother, get up quickly. After all, you are still my senior brother. When there are no outsiders around, don't be so polite." Ling Tianyi quickly stopped her arm and helped him up.

"I haven't seen you for ten years since the last farewell. If Brother Heng Wang hadn't brought you here, I really wouldn't have recognized you!" Ling Tianyi said as he walked to the imperial desk and sat down. Then he raised his hand to signal for the two of them to sit down.

When Lu Fengsheng was still in Chang'an, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, let alone Ling Tianyi!

These ten years have changed their appearance to each other, and even faded their immaturity, if they hadn't met in this palace, if they had met somewhere else, Lu Fengsheng would definitely not be able to recognize them.

Seeing the person in front of them beckoning, the two invited each other to sit down together, and then Lu Fengsheng said: "It has been more than ten years, and the demeanor of the current emperor is not inferior to that of the former emperor!"

"Hey! Elder brother, don't make fun of me. Father and queen are traveling around the world with mother and queen. Both of them are free and easy, but let me guard the whole world. I am also suffering in my heart!"

Ling Tianyi sighed and complained to him on purpose, but what he said was true, his parents had already gone on a tour, it was a pity that he took on such a big burden so early.

"The emperor's words are not complete. Since the former emperor can hand over the throne to you, it represents his absolute trust in you. I believe that you can be the king of this country!"

Speaking of this, Lu Fengsheng paused for a moment, glanced at Ling Tianzheng who was sitting next to him, and then continued: "Besides, you have a Hengwang assistant by your side, so you can handle government affairs more easily."

When he heard Ling Tianzheng mentioned later, Ling Tianyi also agreed very much: "Brother, what you said is that fortunately, brother Heng Wang helped me, otherwise I really wanted to follow the example of my father and the emperor, and leave this responsibility to escape from this city." The imperial city."
