Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 130: Transfer of official position The luxurious and magnificent palace reveals the majesty of the royal family everywhere. The world surrounded by the lacquered red palace walls represents the most noble and powerful position.

In the resplendent and magnificent palace, the most supreme figure of Cheyuan Kingdom sat on the top seat, while the ministers stood on the bottom.

Everyone has a solemn expression on their faces, and the atmosphere is extremely low and serious.

The emperor at the top put his hands on the dragon chair and looked at the people below without saying a word. There was a calm expression in his eagle-like eyes.

Glancing at the crowd, he turned his gaze to a tall and straight figure in the front row, and said in a low voice: "Prince, is there any result to what I told you?"

With his head lowered, Huangfu Yan was stunned for a moment, only then did he understand what the emperor was talking about.Cupping his hands and cupping his fists, he slightly raised his head to look at the emperor above him, and said respectfully, "Return to father, then Liang Jinyuan has pleaded guilty, and everything is true."

Nodding his head slightly, the emperor didn't speak any more, but on his face that revealed the traces of time, there was a serious and dignified expression. .

Although Liang Jinyuan had already been imprisoned, and his father Jiangnan governor Mr. Liang had also been dismissed and investigated, but Liang Jinyuan was extremely stubborn and refused to admit what he had done after being beaten to death.

After a few days of interrogation in the prison, he finally pleaded guilty, and in this way, he was not wronged.

After being silent for a while, the emperor said again: "The position of governor of the south of the Yangtze River is now vacant. Do you think there is a suitable candidate?"

The emperor's words made everyone glance at the people around them. Everyone was thinking about who would be the most appropriate person to recommend, but after some discussion, it seemed that none of them thought of the most suitable candidate.

Seeing that none of the people raised any opinions, the emperor did not feel disappointed at all, but said again in a self-contained manner: "There is no one to recommend among the loves? I have an idea."

Upon hearing the emperor's words, everyone couldn't help but looked up at the supreme emperor, looking forward to what he would say next, and wanted to see that he planned to let someone become the governor of the south of the Yangtze River.

Raising his hand to stroke his little goatee, the emperor said softly, "Li Aiqing, Minister of the Ministry of War, seems to have a close relationship with this Liang Jinyuan family. Presumably, he is relatively clear about many things in Jiangnan, right?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Li Da couldn't help being shocked. He thought something was wrong in his heart, but he still had to keep calm, and said with his head down, "I'm stupid, I don't know much about Jiangnan."

The emperor didn't mind at all, instead he smiled, waved his hands and said, "Li Aiqing is too modest. I think that if Li Aiqing was the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, surely the south of the Yangtze River would be more prosperous than it is today."

Although the emperor's words sounded like he was discussing with Li Da, Li Da knew very well that the emperor's words sounded like he was asking for his opinion, but in fact, he was pronouncing his fate.

His heart sank, Li Da frowned tightly, with a worried look on his face, but he knew that the emperor's order was hard to disobey, even if he didn't want to be the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, he had to say a word from the emperor. from.

Although he, Minister of the Ministry of War, has the same official position as the governor of Jiangnan, one is in the capital and the other is a local official.

Not only Li Da, but even Huangfu Yan was stunned for a moment, he became a little worried, and unconsciously cast his eyes on the emperor above him, but he didn't see any strangeness on his face.

Sure enough, the emperor's mind cannot be guessed at will.

"Your Majesty has been praised too much, and I'm really ashamed." Li Da said hastily, putting on a respectful and humble appearance.

After waving his hands again, the emperor put away the faint smile on his face and replaced it with a serious face: "If there is no other candidate for the Aiqing, then Li Aiqing will be the governor of Jiangnan, and he will take office at a certain date."

As soon as these words came out, Li Dan's hanging heart finally let go, but it suddenly sank deep in his heart.

And the emperor's words made Huangfuyan frowned, with a dignified expression on his handsome face, secretly guessing in his heart, even though Liang Jinyuan had been arrested, couldn't the matter just end here? ?The father actually arranged for Li Da to be a local official.

This Li Da is his confidant, if Li Da leaves the capital, then he will lose a right-hand man.

Thinking in his heart, Huangfu Yan put on a puzzled expression, looked up at the emperor above, and said: "Father, if Master Li is appointed as the governor of Jiangnan, then the post of minister of the Ministry of War will also be vacant? "

Looking at Huangfuyan's eyes, but with a calm expression on his face, the emperor said casually: "Of course I know. I think there is someone who is very suitable for the post of minister of the Ministry of War."

"I don't know who the father said, but who is it?"

The emperor didn't say anything immediately, but turned his gaze to the slightly older figure below, but still with a straight back.

"Ling Aiqing's eldest son, young and promising, why not serve for the court?" The emperor said, stroking his little goatee.

Hearing the emperor's words, Ling Yan seemed a little surprised, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the emperor, not understanding the meaning of his words, but the next moment he recognized the meaning of his words.

However, after understanding this, he couldn't help showing a trace of worry.

With his head lowered, Ling Yan cupped his hands and said: "I would like to thank the emperor for his love on behalf of the dog, but it's a pity that the dog is too stubborn to be an official."

"It's Ling Aiqing who is too strict, but I think you can give it a try." The emperor said, with firmness and majesty that could not be refuted in his tone.

Ling Yan knew very well that no matter what he said, he couldn't change the emperor's decision.If he said too much, it would make the emperor unhappy, so he had no choice but to obey.

"I thank the emperor on behalf of the dog, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

However, in his heart, he was extremely unwilling to let Ling Qinglian enter the court as an official.

He knew Ling Qinglian's heart very well.At the beginning, the most important reason why Ling Qinglian ran away from home was that he wanted Ling Qinglian to get a good name in the exam, but Ling Qinglian didn't like being an official very much, so she ran away from home in a fit of anger.

After two years, Ling Qinglian returned home.In the past two years, Ling Yan had already lost his anger, and only hoped that his only son would return safely as soon as possible.

After two years, Ling Qinglian who returned home, although she has grown up a lot compared to before, and has never quarreled with him and vomited, but he is still very worried, if he forces Ling Qinglian to be him again Ling Qinglian would do things that he didn't like, which he couldn't bear.

However, this time, it was the emperor himself who asked Ling Qinglian to be Minister of the Ministry of War. Even if Ling Yan was reluctant, he had no choice but to follow suit.

"In this way, Ling Aiqing's son will take up the post of Secretary of the Ministry of War, and he will take up the post after Li Aiqing leaves office." The emperor said in a very serious tone.

Although the people below felt that the emperor's decision was hasty, none of them dared to stand up and express their objection, and they could only shout "The emperor is wise".

There is also a reason why the emperor would do this.

It's just because, no one in the court knows that the prime minister, Lord Ling, is dedicated to the emperor and never favors any prince.Even though her own daughter married the Fourth Prince, she didn't place any emphasis on it.

It was also because of this that the emperor appointed Ling Qinglian as Minister of the Ministry of War. Like a father, like a son, in his opinion, Ling Qinglian would be like his father, who would only care about him as the emperor.

After all the matters that should be dealt with were dealt with, the emperor announced his withdrawal from the court.

After retiring from the imperial court, many officials came to Ling Yan one after another to congratulate him, and the words they said were similar. They were nothing more than congratulations on raising a good son and being appointed Minister of the Ministry of War at a young age.

But only Ling Yan knew how much he didn't want Ling Yan to be an official.

In contrast, Li Da, who was assigned to be the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, seemed much more lonely, frustrated and annoyed.Because of his dandy nephew, he was also implicated.

Walking towards the outside of the hall with his head drooping, Li Da kept sighing, and he didn't even notice when Huangfu Yan came to his side.

"Lord Li, take care of yourself." Without looking at him, Huangfu Yan said in a low voice, with a trace of helplessness in his tone.

After finishing speaking, he took a step and walked forward in big strides.

Li Da was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at the tall and tall figure in front of him, feeling even more helpless.

Huangfu Yi and Huangfu Yu on the other side just glanced at the people in the hall indifferently, walked out of the hall together without saying a word.

Regarding the emperor's decision, the two of them didn't have any thoughts, just because everyone knew it very well.

The reason why the emperor arranged Li Da to be a magistrate was also because of Huang Fuyan.

Although Huangfuyan suffered from being dumb this time, he had to admit it.

What Huangfu Yi didn't expect was that the emperor would let Ling Qinglian take up the post of Minister of War.As a result, the status of the Ling family in the court became more and more dare not be underestimated.

Thinking of the Ling family, a fair and pretty face with a stubborn expression appeared in his mind unconsciously.

Huangfu Yi was stunned for a moment, apparently he did not expect Ling Ruoyao's appearance to appear in his mind, so he quickly put away his thoughts and walked out together with Huangfu Yu.

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the threshold of the main hall, a familiar figure appeared in Huangfu Yi's line of sight, and his handsome brows frowned instantly.

At the foot of the stone steps outside the main hall, a delicate and petite figure was standing by the railing of the stairs, looking up from time to time to the people walking up and down, as if waiting for someone.

Taking a closer look, Huangfu Yi found out, isn't this the maid Chunlan in Concubine Zhen's Palace?Why is she here?Could it be that the mother concubine asked her to come here to wait for him, to find him for something?

With some doubts in his heart, he subconsciously quickened his pace, making Huangfu Yu next to him very puzzled.

However, when he stepped down the stone steps, he found something was wrong.Chunlan didn't look around anymore, but turned her gaze to a certain place. After a short pause for a few seconds, she turned around and walked down the stone steps.

Didn't the concubine let Chunlan wait for him here?Huangfu Yi was very puzzled, and subconsciously looked in the direction Chunlan was looking at just now, and what he saw was an extremely familiar figure.

Huangfuxuan and Huangfuxi were walking side by side. They were still talking, but suddenly, Huangfuxuan stopped in his tracks. He didn't know what he said to Huangfuxi, so he nodded his head and said to himself then left first.

After Huangfuxi left, Huangfuxuan took a step, but walked in the direction Chunlan left.

He just felt that there was a big doubt growing in his heart, Huangfu Yi was very puzzled, he couldn't figure out why Chunlan was looking for the second child.

Focusing only on Huangfu Yu who was walking forward, she turned her head to look around her, but she didn't see Huangfu Yi, so she stopped immediately.

Turning around to look, only to find that Huangfu Yi was still in place, a few steps behind him.

Opening his mouth, Huangfu Yu just wanted to call him, but found that he was frowning and looking at a certain place solemnly.

Doubts arose in his heart, he also turned his head, and looked in the direction Huangfu Yi was looking at. All he saw was Huangfu Xuan who was walking forward quickly, and he didn't find anything unusual.

Cursing his lips, he withdrew his gaze, looked at Huangfu Yi, and urged, "Fourth brother, why don't you leave?"

Quickly regaining consciousness, Huangfu Yi put away the doubts in his heart, his handsome face regained his usual calmness, and walked towards Huangfu Yu.

When Huangfu Yi came to his side, Huangfu Yu walked forward with him, but he still couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked aloud: "Fourth brother, what were you looking at just now? What did second brother have?" Is something wrong?"

A trace of gloom flashed in the deep eyes, Huangfu Yi shook his head, and said calmly: "It's okay, I just took a casual look."

Seeing that he refused to speak, Huangfu Yu felt a little bored, so he curled his lips, but didn't ask any more questions, but changed the subject and said: "I haven't been to Fourth Brother's house for a long time, it's still early today , I wonder if fourth brother welcomes me to sit down? By the way, I will visit fourth sister-in-law, and I wonder if fourth sister-in-law's leg is healed?"

However, what Huangfu Yu didn't expect was that just after he had finished speaking, Huangfu Yi's face immediately became gloomy, and his whole body was enveloped in a chilling chill, which really shocked him.

Not knowing what he said wrongly that made him so unhappy, Huangfu Yu hurriedly came to his senses, and quickly changed his words: "If it's not convenient for fourth brother, then don't bother fourth brother."

Realizing his gaffe, Huangfu Yi hurriedly put away the strange emotions that suddenly surged up in his heart, tried his best to keep himself calm, and said aloud: "Next time."

In the past few days, he has not been able to see Ling Ruoyao, and every time he goes to her yard, he will be turned away.He knew that he had hurt her deeply, and she would definitely not forgive him easily.

This is also his due retribution. He doesn't blame her, but it is absolutely impossible for him to divorce her.

***

In the quiet yard, Caizhi and Caizhu were drying the quilts. Neither of them spoke aloud. They both had very serious expressions on their faces, and their hands moved swiftly.

After the quilt was finished drying, the two of them walked towards the house.

Stepping into the room, when the two saw Ling Ruoyao leaning on the bed rail in the middle, they couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and walked up quickly.

"Miss, are you awake?" Stepping forward to move the needle behind Ling Ruoyao's back, Caizhi said with a smile, "It's sunny outside today, miss, do you want to go for a walk?"

Turning his gaze to the slightly open window, he saw the dazzling sunlight coming in through the window, casting a mottled light and shadow on the ground.

The weather is really nice, Ling Ruoyao hooked the corners of her lips, but shook her head and said: "I won't go, I'd better stay in the house."

Caizhi looked a little disappointed, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant. She turned her head and glanced at Caizhu next to her, and winked at her.

Receiving Caizhi's gaze, Caizhu quickly raised the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Your maidservant, let's talk to the princess."

So, Caizhu tried every means to make Ling Ruoyao happy, and finished telling the only jokes in her stomach.

Although Ling Ruoyao also smiled, but it was just a perfunctory smile, not from the heart at all, and her smile was also very weak.

Caizhu's jokes were all told, and she didn't know what method to use to make Ling Ruoyao really happy.There was nothing she could do, so she had no choice but to cast her eyes on Cai

Chi.

Turning her head to look at Ling Ruoyao beside her, Caizhi always had a worried expression, and also didn't know what to do.

Since that day, the young lady has been so depressed, staying in the room every day, never stepping out of the room, no matter what methods they try, they can't attract her attention.

Such a depressed young lady really worried her.

Looking at Caizhu, Caizhi ordered: "Caizhu, go and cook some porridge for the young lady. The young lady just woke up and is still hungry."

After glancing at Ling Ruoyao, Caizhu nodded and retreated.Nothing has one.

After Caizhu left, Caizhi squatted in front of Ling Ruoyao, looked at her worriedly, and whispered: "Miss, don't do this."

Looking back at Caizhi, Ling Ruoyao raised the corners of her mouth, raised a stiff smile, and said in a deep voice: "Caizhi, I look like this, is it ugly or scary?"

Caizhi was stunned, feeling sorry for her even more, but still shook her head and said: "No, in the eyes of slaves, miss is the most beautiful, no matter what time, miss is beautiful."

Just smiled, Ling Ruoyao didn't speak aloud.Resting her head on the bed rail, she looked out of the window again.She didn't know how she could ask Caizhi such a nonsensical question.

Seeing Ling Ruoyao always looking so listless, Caizhi was very anxious, wishing that she could have supernatural powers and make her laugh happily.

"Miss, no matter how many unhappy things happen, you still have to take care of your body. Your injury has been going on for so long and hasn't healed yet. Miss, how do you leave the palace?"

Caizhi's words made Ling Ruoyao stunned for a moment, a strange light flashed in her clear eyes, and her pretty face finally regained its vitality.

That's right, she still has to leave the palace, and she still has to find a way to get rid of that perverted man with broken sleeves, Huangfu Yi. How can she continue to be so depressed?

Turning to look at Caizhi, Ling Ruoyao suddenly became agitated, grabbed Caizhi's hands, and hurriedly said, "Say, can I leave here?"

Startled by her fierce reaction, Caizhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to her senses, nodded firmly, and said, "Miss will definitely leave here!"

Although she knew that if she left the palace, the young lady would no longer be the fourth princess, but seeing the young lady so listless all day long, she felt distressed and worried.

If the young lady can be happy after leaving the palace, she will do her best to help the young lady, even though she knows that she is soft-spoken.

Hearing Caizhi's words, Ling Ruoyao also became more determined, and her confidence in wanting to leave here also became stronger.

She had already made up her mind to find a way to get the emperor to agree to her divorce of Huangfu Yi.But it is not easy to meet the emperor and get the emperor to agree.

But now, she can't even walk smoothly, so how can she go to see the emperor?Therefore, she must let her injury recover as soon as possible, and she can't lie in bed like this every day.

Thinking of this, she told Caizhi, "Caizhi, change my clothes for me, I want to go for a walk."

After lying in bed for so many days, no matter how much medicine he drank, if he didn't exercise frequently, it would be difficult to recover.

Hearing Ling Ruoyao's words, Caizhi was overjoyed immediately, almost dancing with excitement, but there was still an excited smile on her pretty face.

Seeing her so excited, Ling Ruoyao felt a warm current in her heart and was very moved.

Fortunately, when she was sad and lost, there was still such a person by her side who cared about her, took care of her, and was so happy for her words.

She couldn't help laughing, and she said angrily, "What are you so excited about? Could it be that you want to be lazy?"

Caizhi was stunned for a moment, and a grievance immediately appeared on her delicate face, and she whispered, "I don't have any slaves."

Seeing her like this, Ling Ruoyao smiled deeper, waved her hand and said, "Okay, are you kidding me, are you serious?"

"Miss..." Caizhi pouted, but she didn't dare to complain.

Lifting the quilt and getting off the bed, Ling Ruoyao asked Caizhi to change her clothes and wash herself, and suddenly thought of something in her heart, she asked aloud: "Caizhi, did you deliver the letter I asked you to deliver that day?"

The movement of her hands didn't stop, Caizhi nodded, and said softly: "It has been sent, and the servant handed it to the master."

"Did father say anything?" Frowning, Ling Ruoyao asked in a deep voice, feeling a little nervous.

After finishing dressing for Ling Ruoyao, Caizhi helped her sit down in front of the bronze mirror, brushed her hair, and said: "When the master just read the letter, he was very angry, but the master didn't say a word. After a while, the master's face became less scary. The master said, let the servant girl tell the young lady that he will find a way for the young lady. But when she came back that day, the servant girl saw that the young lady had fallen asleep, so she didn't wake her up. Forgot, slaves deserve to die."

Ling Ruoyao didn't speak, but there was an indescribable complex feeling in her heart, but she was more grateful, grateful to Ling Yan for tolerating her waywardness.
