Your Majesty is happy [rebirth]

Chapter 50

Zhaode Hall.

Xiao Mantou stood by the imperial case, tried to stand on tiptoe, trying to stuff the grapes in his hand to Ling Qiyou, who was sitting aside and was concentrating on reading the memorial in his hand: "Ah... da..."

Ling Qiyou, who was disturbed, had no choice but to turn his head to look at him, and reached out to touch his little head. The eyes of the little mantou smiled into two curved moons, and two small front teeth were exposed in the small grinning mouth. Seeing his teeth but not seeing his eyes, Ling Qiyou was overjoyed, and finally lowered his head and ate the grapes he had been pinching for an unknown amount of time.

The little mantou walked happily around the chair under him with his short legs, Ling Qiyou became more and more helpless, the little guy was not happy to climb since he could walk tremblingly, he would rather fall once after walking a few steps He was also willing to leave, but his ability to harass him was getting stronger and stronger. Before this little thing fell asleep, he basically had nothing to do now and settled down to deal with court affairs at ease.

Ling Qiyou pinched his face: "Hey, stop arguing, someone will send you out of the palace later."

Xiao Mantou seemed to understand, and subconsciously responded "A... Dad...", Ling Qiyou looked at his stupid drooling, and found it funny, let Xiao Chuqian take him, Save him from wandering around him in such a free manner.

After noon, Ling Qiyou ordered someone to escort the nanny and a few eunuchs to take the little mantou out of the palace to Xiao Chuqian's residence. Finally, he was able to calm down and look at the notes that had been accumulated for a long time. Before the time came, the clown came in Report that Uncle Xu Guo has come.

Ling Qiyou raised his eyebrows and happily allowed him to come in.

Xu Chongqing came in and saluted first, and then asked Ling Qiyou who had been sitting in front of the imperial case: "Your Majesty specially summoned the ministers here, what's the matter?"

It is true that Ling Qiyou sent someone to call him, and he passed it on after noon, but Uncle Xu Guo delayed entering the palace until this time. Ling Qiyou looked at him calmly and calmly. , let out a soft snort in his heart, and said: "I just suddenly remembered that it has been almost a month since Uncle Qihuang came back from Lingbei, and it is time to go back to Jiangdong, and I want to ask uncle's opinion."

Xu Chongqing frowned slightly: "Is your majesty planning to let the tiger go back to the mountain like this? He just led Jiangdong soldiers and horses to suppress bandits in Lingbei and became famous. Your majesty is going to let him go just like this? What if he has a different mind..."

An imperceptible smile curled up on the corner of Ling Qiyou's mouth: "So I thought, I might as well go to Jiangdong in person, Chu Xiao told me that those leading generals in Jiangdong didn't have any disagreements with the imperial court, they just understood I don’t want to hear more about it, it’s inevitable that there will be some prejudice, I thought that if I went to Jiangdong in person, I would meet them for a while and dispel their concerns, maybe..."

"Your Majesty can't do it!" Xu Chongqing was shocked when he heard the words, and dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, King Xuan's ambitions are clearly revealed. If you go to Jiangdong, you may be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger..."

"The sheep go into the tiger's mouth?" Ling Qiyou interrupted him: "You mean that I am a sheep, but King Xuan is the tiger?"

Xu Chongqing said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I really can't go to Jiangdong. If King Xuan thinks about it, it's his territory, and His Majesty will be passively restrained..."

"Chu Xiao has also led those Jiangdong soldiers and horses for half a year, and he still has some prestige among them. With him around, those Jiangdong garrison troops may not dare to act rashly, let alone..." Ling Qiyou watched his ugly face for a long time. He smiled and said: "I still want to see the talisman that my uncle said, and sent it back to the ancestral house in Jiangdong."

Xu Chongqing was terrified, and he was sure that Ling Qiyou was coming for him. As Ling Qiyou expected, because of King Xuan, he was really not worried that Ling Qiyou would really go to Jiangdong, but since Ling Qiyou You sent Xiao Chuqian and Ling Jing to Lingbei to suppress the bandits, and the development of the matter was out of his control.

However, no matter how much turmoil was in his heart at this moment, he still tried his best to maintain his composure, and reminded Ling Qiyou: "Then... At least 6 or [-] people must be transferred from the North and South Camps to accompany him..."

"6, [-] people?" Ling Qiyou disapproved: "I'm just going on patrol, not to fight, why are you bringing so many soldiers?"

There are a total of 8 troops in the Jiangdong garrison. Xu Chongqing proposed to bring so many people with him, obviously because he thought that he would still have a chance to fight. After all, almost all of the northern and southern garrisons are now his people, and these people are accompanying him. However, it may not be easy for Ling Qiyou to move him.

"Don't bring more people, does your Majesty want to go to Jiangdong and let King Xuan manipulate you?!" Xu Chongqing was already a little out of breath.

"There are also 1 people in my imperial guards. It is enough to have these people escorting me. Moreover, the emperor's uncle may not have a different heart. It is because my uncle has too many worries. Let this matter be like this. I have made up my mind, and I will issue an imperial edict in a while , I will set off in three days, and after a little bit of a hurry, uncle should hurry back and make preparations, and then we will go on the road with me."

"Your Majesty really insists on doing this?" Xu Chongqing's voice was completely cold, and she stared at Ling Qiyou: "Your Majesty really insists on going to Jiangdong at the risk of life?"

Ling Qiyou lowered his eyes indifferently, and continued to deal with his subordinates: "There is nothing else to do, uncle can retire."

Xu Chongqing was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and spit out the three words "resignation", flicking his sleeves and retreating.

It wasn't until his figure left Zhaode Hall that Ling Qiyou curled his lips, and the clown at the side reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, before you came in, the uncle of the country specifically inquired about His Royal Highness with the slaves."

Ling Qiyou frowned slightly: "What did he ask you?"

"He asked the servant girl if His Highness the Crown Prince was sent to General Chu's mansion by your Majesty, but the servant girl didn't answer him, because he looked a little weird, and the servant girl heard that two days ago, Mrs. Xu came into the palace to visit the empress. People talked for almost two hours in Chong'en Hall, and Madam Xu also had a strange expression when she came out of Chong'en Hall."

Ling Qiyou understood in his heart, Xu Chongqing probably already knew about Xiao Mantou, since Xiao Mantou was born, he has been living with him in Zhaode Hall, and it is not surprising that he would not attract suspicion in his mother's place. , not to mention that old fox Xu Chongqing, besides, Xu Chongqing may not have known about Xu Guogong chasing and killing Shen Lexin and his son back then. It's all right, it's hard for Xu Chongqing not to doubt her, so if she asks her wife to trick the queen, since Xu Xinlan was recruited by the queen mother as soon as she was asked, she probably won't be able to hide it from her mother.

After thinking for a while, Ling Qiyou ordered: "Send someone to leave the palace, announce that King Xuan is coming, then go and send Chu Xiao to me, let them go in by the door, and keep a low profile."

Xiao Chuqian and Ling Jing came within two quarters of an hour, and Ling Qiyou didn't go around with them, straight to the point and told him that he was going to Jiangdong, and finally said to Ling Jing: "I want you to do something for me tonight. matter."

Ling Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me."

Ling Qiyou told him what he wanted him to do, Ling Jing was a little surprised when he heard it, and asked him: "Your Majesty, can you trust me?"

Ling Qiyou said: "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is going to Jiangdong in order to force Uncle Xu to hand over the talisman. So you have more trust in this King than Uncle Xu?"

Ling Qiyou said coldly: "I don't believe you, but I believe in Lexin."

"..."

Not only Ling Jing, but also Xiao Chuqian, who was being ignored and teasing Xiao Mantou, also looked at Ling Qiyou in surprise. Speaking of which, since they came back, the relationship between Ling Qiyou and Shen Lexin was so good that they were completely inexplicable, but Xiao Chuqian never asked Ling Qiyou about this matter.

Ling Jing said: "Your Majesty, can you tell me what is the relationship between you and Le Xin?"

Ling Qiyou asked back: "Didn't he tell you?"

"He refused to say, saying that he didn't want to cause trouble, and he didn't want to cause trouble to His Majesty."

"Go back and ask him, and tell him that I allow him to tell you."

Ling Jing responded, and finally said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will help His Majesty take care of everything that Your Majesty ordered."

"Ah."

After sending Ling Jing away, Ling Qiyou turned his eyes to Xiao Chuqian who was on the side. Xiao Chuqian pulled away the little steamed buns stuck to his body, stood up straight, and asked him with a smile: "Does Your Majesty need your servants to do anything for you?" ?”

"Go and help me stabilize those people in the barracks."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best."

"It's not about doing your best, it's about doing well." Ling Qiyou corrected him.

Xiao Chuqian smiled happily, picked up the little mantou and walked forward, stuffed the little guy into his arms, then knelt down, put his arms around Ling Qiyou's waist, and looked up at him: "Don't worry, you have to do I will definitely help you do well.”

Ling Qiyou turned his eyes away, lowered his head and kissed Xiao Mantou's face.

Xiao Chuqian pinched Xiao Mantou's face, and kissed again where Ling Qiyou had just kissed.

Ling Qiyou stared at his movements, stunned, as if bewitched, when Xiao Mantou turned around, he slowly lowered his head again and kissed again at the place just now.

The smile in Xiao Chuqian's eyes grew stronger, he leaned over again, and kissed at the same place again.

"Da!" Xiao Mantou waved his fist, as if protesting angrily.

Xiao Chuqian laughed out loud, stood up, and kissed Ling Qiyou directly on the face this time.

Ling Qiyou was stunned for a moment, then pushed him away: "...Be serious."

"Okay, okay," promised, but the smile in Xiao Chuqian's eyes couldn't fade, and he asked him: "Can you tell me what is your relationship with Shen Lexin? Your Majesty seems to have a good impression of him now?"

Well, in fact, he was jealous. Ever since he came back from Lingbei, he found that Ling Qiyou's attitude towards Shen Lexin, who had been sneering and dismissive before, had changed a lot. It seemed that he was much more affectionate and gentle than himself?Seeing him and Shen Lexin chatting and laughing together several times, Xiao Chuqian felt that the jealousy in his heart was going to explode...

Ling Qiyou pouted: "Don't you have a good relationship with King Xuan? Just ask him."
