The territory of the Tang Dynasty was still very large, far beyond the comparison of other small countries in China. From the border town of the Tang Dynasty to the central imperial capital, the carriage passed through eight cities and walked for a whole day and night until it reached its destination at noon on the second day. land.
And when Lin Xiaolu and his entourage swaggered into the heavily guarded palace, a soldier immediately recognized him and shouted, "Xiaolu is the Immortal!"
At this moment, under the bright sun, Shangguan Shiliu poked his little head out of the carriage door curtain and looked at the soldiers enthusiastically welcoming him at the entrance of the palace. His beautiful eyes suddenly opened:
"Lu Zaizi, I didn't expect you to be so popular in the Tang Dynasty."
"Hehe, it's not bad." Lin Xiaolu said with a smile: "I lived and ate together with my brothers from the Iron Armor Camp of the Tang Dynasty for a while, and we even fought together."
After saying that, he joked a few times with the soldiers, and then, led by a general, drove a carriage into the palace.
In the spacious avenue of the palace, Shangguan Pomegranate opened the curtain and curiously looked at the royal scenery with Shangguan Hamimelon and Xiao Yuer. Shangguan Pineapple was also watching with gusto beside Lin Xiaolu, while Lin Xiaolu chatted enthusiastically with the soldiers he led. He was indeed very popular. Along the way, everyone who saw him, whether they were mighty soldiers, charming palace maids, or busy eunuchs, would greet him enthusiastically.
Facing these people, Lin Xiaolu had no airs at all, and looked very mature in every move. He jumped out of the car and refused the soldier's move to lead the carriage. He chatted and laughed with the soldier along the way. In contrast, , Shangguan Shiliu and the others treat mortals equally, but they have nothing in common with each other.
In the carriage, Xiao Yu'er looked at her brother who was chatting with the soldiers about their family history, and felt a little admiration for no reason.
She suddenly discovered that her brother knew a lot of things, and... he seemed to be able to understand the difficulty of the soldier uncle's life, and he even took the initiative to help him analyze what kind of wife he would marry in the future, and what he said was actually very clear and logical.
Shangguan Hamigua on the side also saw this scene, and she, who was always aloof, gave a rare compliment:
"Lin Xiaolu seems to understand the lives of ordinary people quite well."
Passing through the deep palace roads of the imperial city, the young man led his horse to a palace, where a eunuch immediately came forward to greet him.
"The Little Deer Immortal."
The eunuch came running all the way. When he saw Lin Xiaolu, he immediately knelt down on one knee. Lin Xiaolu stopped him, then looked at the eunuch's face up and down, and said:
"Uncle Eunuch, you haven't looked very good these days. Are you too tired?"
The eunuch who claimed to be "disabled and mentally strong" gave a wry smile and said to Lin Xiaolu: "The Immortal's observation is accurate. Your Majesty has been busy sorting out state affairs in the past few days. I have been with your Majesty day and night, so I have stayed up for several nights." night."
"Ah? Is Aning so hardworking?"
"Your Majesty is the king of a country. It is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to have an emperor like your Majesty. As a minister, I should do my duty."
"Oh, what about General Di?" Lin Xiaolu asked curiously.
"Back to Shangxian, General Di is usually guarding the border when he is not in the palace."
"Oh." Lin Xiaolu nodded, then asked a few people to dismount, and handed the horses and carriages to several young eunuchs.
In the face of immortals, the officials of the Tang Dynasty were already used to it and were not as flattering as ordinary small countries. Therefore, the eunuch uncle only gave a small courtesy to Shangguan Shiliu and others. After all, the belief of the Tang Dynasty was Jiang Ning, and he could only pay tribute to the former They would especially respect Lin Xiaolu, who had fought together and had a close relationship with Jiang Ning.
"Shangxian Xiaolu, your majesty has already gone to court in the morning and is currently waiting for him at the Shuiyun Tower in the Imperial Garden. Your majesty also specially asked the chef in the imperial dining room to prepare a lot of delicious food."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiaolu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed that Aning was finally generous.
…
…
Lin Xiaolu was very happy to see An Ning again this time, but what made him more depressed was that the first time he saw An Ning, she and Shangguan Shiliu hugged each other and ignored him at all.
This embarrassed him.
At this moment, in the simply decorated attic, the table was filled with dishes of exquisite dishes. Lin Xiaolu and Xiao Yu'er, as well as Hami Melon and Pineapple, looked at Shangguan Pomegranate and Jiang Ning shouting and smiling. No way.
Fortunately, there is no one else here, otherwise they would be dumbfounded. It turns out that His Majesty, who is always solemn, also has such a daughterly side.
However, Jiang Ning's dress is very beautiful. The slender plain dress outlines her exquisite figure very well. Her long hair is tied behind her head, making her look very dignified. With her delicate facial features, her every move makes her look very dignified. All have a special style.
"Brother, is this your best friend?" Xiao Yuer stuffed jujubes boiled with rock sugar into her mouth, puffed her cheeks, and looked at Jiang Ning, who was very dignified in appearance, body and posture, and commented:
"I don't think she's as good-looking as Sister Pomegranate, but she has a better figure than Sister Pomegranate and is much taller than Sister Gua."
Across the table, Shangguan Hamigua, who was gnawing on soy pig's trotters, stopped immediately when she heard these words, and her eyes bulged out. However, after her face was sullen for a while, she did not get angry at Xiao Yu'er, but stepped on it hard under the table. Lin Xiaolu kicked him.
Lin Xiaolu, who was stepped on for no reason, looked confused, while Shangguan Hamigua glared at him fiercely, looking like he was showing off his power.
Lin Xiaolu's face was blank. He felt a little baffled. He didn't know why this little dwarf was so crazy.
Shangguan Pineapple on the side noticed this scene and couldn't help but be a little confused.
Why would I, an old lady, take her anger out on Brother Lu instead of directly losing her temper at Xiao Yu'er?
Is Xiao Yuer too strong? She shouldn't. Neither Xiao Yu'er nor Brother Lu is her opponent. If she wants to be afraid, she should also be afraid of Brother Lu. And I also know my temper. I will never be afraid of someone just because I can't beat him. She will still get angry when she should, but now...
Shangguan Pineapple frowned and thought for a while, then he thought that the elder sister felt that Xiao Yu'er was young and childlike, so she went to settle the score with her brother. Well, that must be the case.
In the attic, several people continued to eat haise, but the two girls Shangguan Shiliu and Jiang Ning had not seen each other for a long time. When they met, they joked for a long time. After half an hour, Jiang Ning turned to the others and greeted them enthusiastically. Shangguan Hamigua and others who met for the first time extended their welcome.
Especially Xiao Yu'er. As Lin Xiaolu's younger sister, Jiang Ning also behaved like her very much. She treated guests just right throughout the whole process, neither being overly enthusiastic nor making people feel left out. After getting along with her, Xiao Yu'er felt very comfortable. She I feel that my brother is indeed an excellent person, and all the friends around him are great.
As for Jiang Ning, the future "sister-in-law", she also silently commented in her heart that "it's barely fair". After all, in her heart, Lin Xiaolu was so good that it was unimaginable.
"You came here without saying anything. There was no news before you came, so I didn't even have time to prepare."
At the dinner table, Jiang Ning smiled brightly and said, "I'll leave the state affairs to the Prime Minister later, and then I'll take you around the palace for a while, but it can't be too long, just two days."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaolu suddenly said with great interest: "Aning, how about you leave the state affairs to me?"
"Yes, I also want to try to deal with national affairs." Shangguan Shiliu said expectantly: "Aning, you can just rest for a few days, and the national affairs can be left to me and Lu Zaizi."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ning's smile suddenly froze, and then she shook her head and refused without hesitation.
Just kidding, how could she hand over such a thing?
