Linglong

Chapter 100

The servant hurried all the way back to Jinling.

After entering the imperial city, he drove to the gate of the palace without resting for a while.

The various items brought back from Shuntian Mansion were sent to Kunning Palace.

When these things were delivered, Princess Yongning just came back from school, so she and the queen looked at them with great interest.

Princess Yongning is in the year of the golden hairpin, her figure has already revealed the slender and slim figure of a young girl, but the childishness on her face has not yet faded away, her skin is white, her eyes are big and lively, her eyelashes are long and curved, she loves to smile, and her two eyes are revealed when she smiles. A small dimple, sweet and intoxicating.

"These are all for me, right? Mother, look at this little skirt, this shirt, hey, there are also a pair of clogs, exquisite and unique. What is this? It looks like... an owl? It's really an owl, long It's really funny!" After looking at the gifts Linglong gave her one by one, she was very happy.

The things she gave Linglong were very fragmented, and the gifts Linglong gave her were also everything from clothes to play, all kinds and varieties.

"She is just like the third brother, she is very kind to me." Princess Yongning smiled, her eyebrows curved, "Mother, I like her!"

The queen smiled, "She not only sent gifts, but also wrote letters. I just opened it and read it. The calligraphy is elegant and graceful, like red lotuses reflecting water, like floating clouds in a blue marsh. What's more rare is that the wording is simple and simple, neither humble nor overbearing, neither reserved nor reserved. cutting."

Princess Yongning stuck out her tongue, and asked worriedly: "Mother, isn't she about the same age as me, is she so powerful? Then...then..."

The queen and she are relatives of mother and daughter, how can they not know what she is thinking?She smiled slightly and said, "Ah Ying, although you are close to her age, no one will compare you with her."

Princess Yongning immediately became happy and her spirits were high.

"This child." The queen couldn't help laughing.

Princess Yongning looked at her own and then at the queen's, smiled and praised Mimi, "These two cups are so beautiful, mother, you use an agate cup when drinking pear blossom wine, and a goblet when drinking wine. OK?"

"Who wants to drink?" The emperor walked in from the outside with a smile, "If our little princess wants to drink, it's impossible!"

He was already off work at this time, he didn't wear the dragon robe, he changed into casual clothes, and his expression was very brisk.

"Father!" Princess Yongning's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she went to greet him with a happy smile.

The queen also came up to meet her, smiling sweetly, "Your Majesty looks very good today, presumably everything is going well in the court, congratulations."

The emperor's face was smug, "Thanks to the queen, no one has opposed me all day today, and there has been no talk of the past and the present, and earnest advice. I am very pleased."

Talking and laughing, she went to sit inside, and Princess Yongning showed off her new gift, "It's really complete, right? There are a lot of novel little things, which shows that you have put a lot of thought into it." The emperor doted on his daughter, and accompanied her to see them one by one, and praised them. After a few words, "Ah Ying is right, this gift is thoughtful and sincere."

Princess Yongning smiled happily, and the atmosphere was very joyful.

The emperor stretched his neck and looked at the table and case where things were piled up, as if he was trying to find something.

The queen became narrow-minded, and also showed off her cups, plates, and bowls, "Please look, Your Majesty, is this mysterious porcelain plate full of water? Is there a star in this bowl?"

The emperor sincerely agreed with a few words of praise, and looked at the queen eagerly, "What else?"

"No more." The queen looked innocent.

The emperor said "oh", looking very disappointed.

Princess Yongning pushed the emperor, "Father, what's the matter with you?" The emperor was a little discouraged, "The queen has it, and the little princess has it too, but... well, only the emperor doesn't..." Princess Yongning was very sympathetic, "Yes, how could it not What about yours? You are His Majesty the Emperor." She asked the queen for the exquisite letter and gift list very attentively, "Mother, let me see the gift list, there must be a father on it." The queen smiled and shook her head, "No, really No."

The emperor was even more frustrated.

Princess Yongning didn't believe in evil, so she asked for the gift list to take a closer look, and there really was no emperor.

"Perhaps, she accidentally forgot it?" Princess Yongning apologized and comforted the emperor, "After all, she and you have never met, and you are not very familiar..."

"What the little princess said makes sense." The emperor agreed with Princess Yongning very much.

However, his disappointment can still be felt.

"Father, call the third brother over to give him a lesson!" Princess Yongning enthusiastically urged.

"No." The emperor shook his head, "Your third brother is enough..."

The emperor felt pity when he thought of King Zhou.Is my Saburo not pitiful enough?The little girl's father looked down on him and didn't give him a good look. Pity him for wanting to reverse the case for Guan Yuanyi, infatuated Saburo.

The queen let out a "huh" and pointed to a dark red wooden box and asked, "What's in it?"

The wooden box was long and square, neither big nor small, it was really not easy to guess what was inside just by looking at the box.

"Isn't it the queen's?" the emperor asked hastily.

"No." The queen shook her head with a smile.

"Then, is it our little princess's?" The emperor turned his face and looked at Yongning eagerly.

Princess Yongning tilted her head and looked, "I don't know, father, she gave me a lot of things, I haven't had time to finish them yet."

"Father will watch with you." The emperor volunteered.

"Okay." Princess Yongning smiled happily.

Just at this time, the servant came in to report, "His Royal Highness Zhou Wang is asking to see you."

King Zhou, the unmarried prince, still lives in the palace. Ever since he came back from a long trip, the emperor and queen asked him to go to Kunning Palace to have dinner with his parents and sister every night. Being far away in the north, my parents must have missed me very much, so I readily agreed.

No, he is very punctual and will be back in no time.

"It's just in time for Saburo to come back." The queen smiled happily.

The emperor had a vague idea in his heart, his eyes were bright and radiant.

Like Zhou Wang, he had beautiful peach blossom eyes. When he was smiling, his eyes were curved, like the new moon in the sky, bright and bright, crystal clear and bright.

King Shi Shiran of Zhou came in to greet the emperor and empress, with a light fur and gentle demeanor in his demeanor.

He was wearing a Song silver robe with cloud and dragon patterns on a silver and white background, which reflected his handsome face more and more delicately.

Princess Yongning stood up early when she saw him coming in, and said hello to him, "Hello third brother. Third brother, you came at the right time. Hurry up and hug that wooden box and open it to see what's inside."

She didn't need a room full of servants and maids, but she wanted to instruct her brother, and her tone was natural, cheerful like a clear spring in the mountains, which showed that she was very familiar with King Zhou, and the relationship between brother and sister was very good.

King Zhou smiled slightly, "Aying, you are being naughty again."

He blamed his sister for being naughty in his mouth, but his actions did not disappoint her. Sure enough, he asked which wooden box it was, and easily brought it over.Princess Yongning commanded deftly, "Third Brother, open it." King Zhou lifted the lid of the box smoothly.

"A pair of shoes!" Princess Yongning exclaimed.

"Is it for me?" King Zhou looked at it and asked casually.

"It doesn't seem to be." Before anyone else answered, the emperor said in a positive tone.

King Zhou looked at him suspiciously.Dad, you said "it seems not", but why is your tone so firm?

"Whose is that?" King Zhou asked politely.

The emperor pointed to himself modestly.

The queen's mouth was always smiling, and now the smile was even stronger, "It's not easy to know who it is, just try wearing it on your feet."

The emperor stretched his feet forward, and King Zhou and Princess Yongning squatted down to try on the shoes for him.

Princess Yongning babbled and said, "The leather is very soft, it is comfortable to wear, and it looks pretty good, hey, I'll put it on now." While chattering, she told the emperor I took off the shoe on my foot and changed the one in my hand, and I put it on smoothly!
The one that King Zhou was in charge of was also dressed.

"Father, does it fit your feet?" Princess Yongning was startled and asked with her small face raised.

The emperor stretched out his feet and felt it, "It seems to be very suitable."

"Father, get up and take two steps." Princess Yongning pushed him courteously.

The emperor was very cooperative and really stood up and took a few steps.

You can tell by the way he walks that he has a pair of comfortable shoes on his feet.

"It really belongs to you!" Princess Yongning smiled like a flower.

Since these shoes are suitable for the emperor, they must not belong to the king of Zhou.The king of Zhou was taller than the emperor and had bigger shoes.

The emperor walked around the palace wearing new shoes, with a smile on his face, and his steps were light and light, as if in the clouds.

"It's just a pair of shoes, so happy." Zhou Wang was very puzzled.

The emperor laughed aloud, "The daughter-in-law has not married yet, so the shoes for the father-in-law should be filial first, isn't it worth being happy?"

It is a folk custom that when a daughter-in-law visits her in-laws, she should present her own shoes and socks to show her filial piety. The emperor was so happy, probably because he felt that before the daughter-in-law got married, the shoes filial to her in-laws were delivered first, and the good things came early. Delightful.

Happiness in advance always makes one happier.

"Daughter-in-law?" Zhou Wang was puzzled.

The queen suppressed a smile and said nothing, Princess Yongning pulled King Zhou over to look, "These are given to mother by her, and the rest are all mine! Third brother, I really like these two lying sheep, just look at them dumbfounded." What a fool, what a likable one."

King Zhou knew that all these came from Linglong, and his face blushed unknowingly.

Daughter-in-law, dad was talking about daughter-in-law... He agreed before he saw Little Bell... Daddy is so kind...

King Zhou was full of thoughts, and Princess Yongning tugged him excitedly, "Third brother, how does she know what size shoes Daddy wears? You told her, right? You and her...you can even talk about this, hee hee , This is called talking about everything."

Princess Yongning smiled mischievously.

Zhou Wang blushed even more.

When the emperor was proud, he saw King Zhou's face was embarrassed, he was obviously embarrassed by his sister's questioning, and he wanted to save King Zhou, so he beckoned to Princess Yongning kindly, pointed at the pile of various things and asked her, "Aying, do you still remember? Some time ago, your father and mother took you out of the palace in casual clothes. You bought whatever you saw at the market. How happy you were?"

Princess Yongning smiled and Mimi nodded, "Yes, it's very fun!"

Every time she went out of the palace in casual clothes, she thought it was quite fun.

Speaking of shopping, Princess Yongning was very excited, "That time I bought two carts of things, and my mother didn't buy much. As for you, you only need one extra!"

The eyes of the queen and the king of Zhou fell on the emperor's feet at the same time.

The emperor coughed unnaturally, and hid his feet inside.

Princess Yongning was stunned, and looked down at the emperor's feet, "This day is really similar to that day. A lot of things belong to me. Mother has a few things that I love, and father only has one to add..."

The queen had been holding back her laughter for a long time, but now she couldn't help it anymore and covered her stomach.King Zhou thoughtfully stretched out his hands to rub her belly, and complained in a low voice, "Mother, don't do this, father will be embarrassed..." He also secretly laughed.

The emperor's face darkened.

He looked down and asked patiently: "What are you laughing at? Is there such a delicate and filial Timotou in the world? Is there?"

There were laughter one after another in the palace.
