During dinner, Linglong shook the emperor's sleeves and said, "Father, Father, Commander Ye is protecting me, so everything is safe. Please evacuate everyone quickly. It's annoying to be surrounded all day long!"
The emperor refused, "This is for your safety, Linglong, be good and obey your father."
The queen saw that her daughter was too dependent on Commander Ye and became a little suspicious: "Linglong, how is Commander Ye?"
Linglong paused, fearing that her secret would be revealed. Now that Qingshan had not won the approval of her father, queen and mother, if she was suddenly exposed, she was afraid that she would be blocked.
"Do your duty," she said.
Seeing that she was flawless, the queen then asked, "I protected your life when I was in the palace, and I have been guarding you ever since. To satisfy your heart, why not... take it to the House of Internal Affairs and serve it in your bedroom. It is more convenient."
Linglong's eyes widened... What, what, what? Be a eunuch?
"Mother! You are a good man with excellent martial arts skills. He still has to serve the country. How can he..."
The emperor was no longer happy and said to the queen, "Ye Qingshan is very capable and must be promoted sooner or later. He will have to practice for a few years and then go to the battlefield to serve the country. Wouldn't it be a pity to be castrated? Absolutely not."
The queen chuckled, "Yes."
Can't you hear this piece of wood? Try Linglong?
————
The Queen had a very good impression of Ye Qingshan, but he was not qualified before he made a career.
There are many people who were shocked when they first started out, but then they became oblivious to everyone.
You shouldn't have recruited him to the Pearl Palace, it was too hasty.
————
The queen pulled Linglong, "My mother has been having nightmares lately. Please stay with her for a few days."
The emperor immediately recommended himself to the pillow, "I will accompany you."
The queen glanced at him sideways, "The emperor should handle important matters in the royal study."
————
Linglong was dragged to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.
The guards protecting Linglong began to surround Fengyi Palace.
The queen sighed, "I don't blame you for being annoyed, there are indeed too many people."
She pointed at the giants arranging formation in the distance, "Is that Commander Ye?"
Linglong looked up eagerly, her face slightly red, "Yeah."
The queen took a look and saw that this silly boy didn't even have a single horoscope. Could it be that he had secretly made a promise?
"This Commander Ye is twenty-three years old. He is quite old. He might already have a wife."
Linglong looked at her mother, biting her lip, her ears stained with red clouds, and whispered, "Yes."
"If he got married in his hometown, and now he jumps into the palace in a prosperous and luxurious place like Jade City, he may not be able to resist the temptation, fall in love with someone else, and abandon his useless wife."
Linglong didn't like hearing this. "How could he abandon his wife? He is not that kind of person."
The queen took a look and said, well, since she didn't believe that he would abandon his wife, it seemed that she only trusted and approved of him, not that she had moved the girl's heart.
"To put it this way, he has a very good character, which is really good."
Linglong nodded fiercely, "Of course! Just wait and see, mother. He will be good to his wife all his life."
"Have you asked him? How did you know he was married?"
Linglong blinked, slowed down, and said coquettishly, "How could I know this? I just guessed it. Judging from his upright character, he can't be wrong."
Nothing happened. The mother and daughter chatted for a long time. The queen told her, "Good boy, you must be careful when dealing with others in the future. Don't be gullible."
Linglong laughed, "I have the support of my father, the emperor, and my empress. I have no use for my son's kindness."
————
Linglong stayed with the queen for five days.
Early morning on the sixth day.
Censor Bai please play.
His eldest son, Bai Ruxu, is a popular candidate for the No. 1 Scholar in the new science. He will take the imperial examination in half a month. This handsome man like a literary star is eighteen years old in his prime.
Linglong is seventeen years old this year.
The top three in the civil and military examinations are a group of good men who will stand out.
Old man Bai was afraid that someone would compete with him, so he asked for the performance in advance.
"If Quanzi wins the first prize in the imperial examination, please ask for the emperor's grace to marry His Highness the Princess!"
The emperor rubbed his eyelids, not knowing how to answer.
Say no, Bai Ruxu is indeed the best candidate.
Let's say it's okay, I always feel vaguely in my heart that we shouldn't rush it.
The last time Yan Yushan agreed to take Linglong to Yacheng, something big happened.
You must be extremely cautious when choosing a son-in-law.
"I have to think about it. Bai Aiqing, don't be anxious. Go back and wait for news."
————
When Bai Yushi left the imperial study room, he told everyone he met that his eldest son wanted to marry the princess. He felt that this would definitely happen.
Looking around, throughout the four kingdoms of China, Wei State is hostile. Qi State is a close relative and has no male sons. It has just fallen out with the young prince of Yan State.
There is no young man inside or outside the government who can compare with his family Bai Xu.
The Holy One has no better choice, and this matter will definitely come true.
Master Bai happily went back to wait for the imperial edict granting marriage.
————
The little guard happily ran over to tell Commander Ye the gossip, "Commander, Commander! Have you heard that our princess is getting married!"
Qingshan smiled, do you still need to tell me about this? He put away his sword with two swipes.
I want to know more clearly when my wife will have her bridal chamber.
Seeing that he was not interested, the little guard pretended to be mysterious, "You can't even guess it! He is the eldest son of the Bai Yushi family! Bai Ruxu, who is known as Wenquxing descends to the earth."
The scabbard in Qingshan's hand almost fell to the ground. He suddenly came back to his senses and frowned, "What did you say?"
The little guard saw his angry face and said, "Commander, I...did I say the wrong thing..."
Qingshan gritted his teeth, "What did you say!"
"It's been rumored outside that Bai Yushushu asked the Holy Emperor to marry the princess. I heard that this will happen in all likelihood."
Qingshan clutched his sword and jumped away, running along the palace wall to the back garden.
He knew that Linglong and the Queen were taking a rest in the imperial garden.
He jumped down lightly, risking his head, and sneaked into the imperial garden, hiding among the flowers that were half a person tall.
————
The slaves stayed away from the pavilion, their heads lowered, and no one noticed him.
Outside the courtyard wall are guards patrolling back and forth, so there is no need to worry about being assassinated.
Linglong was not asleep, and was lazily leaning on the small couch in the pavilion to look at the flowers.
The queen has fallen asleep.
Qingshan waved.
Linglong saw him at once.
Whisper in the ears of Ying'er and Chanjuan, and ask one of them to be responsible for transferring the slaves, and the other to lower the gauze curtain of the pavilion to prevent the queen from waking up and seeing it.
————
Linglong tiptoed to the distant flowers with her bare feet and pounced on Qingshan. Qingshan lies among the flowers and plants, holding Linglong in his arms.
Linglong almost screamed in surprise and whispered in his ear, "Are you crazy?"
Qingshan asked in a deep voice in Linglong's ear, "Do you want me to make room for you when we are talking about marriage?"
He complained aggrievedly, "I have to tell you if I want to make room. If I don't serve you for five or six days, I will replace you."
Linglong was stunned after hearing this. She pushed herself up, pulled away a little, and looked at him eagerly, "What are you talking about, husband?"
Qingshan took a look and realized that the stupid daughter-in-law didn't know yet. "There are rumors all over the palace that you are going to marry Bai Ruxu."
"Who is Bai Ruxu?"
Qingshan was speechless, "Jingcheng Wenquxing, haven't you heard of it?"
"This palace is a golden branch and jade leaf, do you need to hear it?"
Qingshan felt relieved.
