Chapter 425 Acquaintance
"You, don't tell my mother-in-law...she will be angry."
Shen Lanyi and Wei Huaishu are competitors, and she is in Shen Lanyi's camp. Although it is not a big deal for a child to eat a bowl of rice, Shu Jieyu may indeed be angry because of her harshness.
Linlang thought this was the reason, and just wanted to nod.
As a result, I heard what the fourth prince said next.
"My mother-in-law still doesn't allow me to eat. If she finds out that I ate secretly, she will punish me..." The following words were mumbled, drowned in the sound of swallowing.
But even though he was so hungry, he kept his back straight and maintained his posture, not daring to relax at all.
Linlang couldn't eat any more this time, so he put down his spoon and asked, "My queen... why should she punish you, Your Highness?"
Children of this age, as long as it does not involve any principled issues, usually, even if they are too naughty, they will only receive a few symbolic slaps at most, which will be remembered for a long time.
But looking at it like this, how could it be that I was just hungry?
After a few mouthfuls, Murong Xuanyuan finally managed to resist his uncomfortable stomach. Murong Xuanyuan finally slowed down his eating speed and could still raise his head to answer her.
"I made mistakes in my homework. My mother-in-law said I was too stupid and made too many mistakes, so I can't be given food. I have to wait until I get it right."
Linlang looked at his unmoving spoon on the table and shook her head helplessly.
Although Qiu Bai usually speaks for her.
"As promised, lying is just a puppy."
So a reason is needed as a shield.
From this angle, you could clearly see the child's chubby baby cheeks. She sighed, and finally said, "Your Highness, if you are willing, you can come here when you are hungry."
Linlang's mouth twitched.
Murong Lingyao was wearing a dress with ruffled sleeves and was curiously touching a ten-shot repeating crossbow next to him.
Murong Xuanyuan hurriedly took out a neatly folded handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his mouth carelessly, bowed to Linlang, and then ran out with his clothes in hand.
"Your Highness, your words are going to hurt people's hearts." Tang Zuotou straightened his back, pointed at Linlang and sounded resentful.
Moreover, she actually didn't interfere much with Linlang. It was more of a free-range mode, with the mentality of wanting to see her abilities, and only lending a hand when the other party needed it.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the shouts of the people from Qiyan Palace came from outside.
It turns out that I still care about my son. I am afraid that my body will be damaged by hunger, so I want to make up for it.
"Now the Nanyi are about to raid the Western Territory. I happened to have been to the Western Territory as an envoy before and basically traveled all the way. I am very familiar with the place, so it is only appropriate to follow the army to lead the way."
How could someone as smart as Shu Jieyu do such a ridiculous thing?
"My mother-in-law said she was doing it for my own good." After saying this, Murong Xuanyuan's eyes seemed to be confused for a moment, "But every time I do my homework correctly, she will give me a lot of delicious food."
Coupled with her delicate appearance, at first glance I thought she was a 28-year-old girl, but I never imagined that she was several days older than the emperor.
Linlang nodded and lowered his voice, "I have already reported this to His Majesty and will set off for the Western Region tonight."
Soon she smiled again, stretched out a hand, and said in a very soft tone, "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, we can pull the hook."
"Of course, a gentleman is based on trust." After saying this, Linlang was stunned for a moment. Qiubai's influence on her was subtle...
But this time I found someone in the workshop.
"It's obviously this girl's trick. As a result, those Nanyi people are blind and eyeing my life."
"No wonder Nanyi wanted to kill Old Tang."
Linlang fell silent.
The first person to guard the Northern Territory was the eldest princess.
The woman is petite and exquisite, and she wears a low bun in her hair like a young girl. Apart from two azure hair ribbons, she has no other ornaments on her head. She is even cleaner than those in the palace.
After all, greenhouse flowers without tempering are just an empty shell with no practical meaning even if they are brought to the table and placed in the court.
Murong Qian once said that this daughter is the one who looks most like him. As an emperor who conquered the country on horseback, Murong Lingyao naturally had an extremely outstanding talent in leading troops.
Murong Ling shook the transparent white jade bracelet on her wrist. As she moved, the cloak on her shoulders dragged on the ground like water waves, showing a sense of oppression.
Murong Xuanyuan's temperament was far more suspicious than that of the other children. After hesitating for a while, he slowly stretched out his little finger and hooked it.
Murong Lingyao and he were old acquaintances. In the past, they always loved to come over to his daughter's house and would bother Tang Zuotou to make all kinds of weird things for her, so it was quite natural for him to pick up the conversation.
If we keep doing it wrong, won't we starve people to death?
Later, the late emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. As a female, she faced a lot of discussion, so she had to leave and go to the fiefdom, where she stayed peacefully for so many years.
She stewed two big elbows, cut half of them for the fourth prince to eat, ate half of them herself, and sent the remaining one to the eldest princess in disguise.
This is just learning how to use chopsticks...
It was not because she had nothing to do that she took the initiative to interrogate those Nanyi spies. She wanted to sneak some information from the simulation into those confessions.
But the trouble in Nanyi is big, and so many things can be unpredictable. Too many times will inevitably bring trouble to Qiu Bai.
"As for the rest, I'll leave it to the eldest princess."
Linlang lowered his head and presented the map of Nanyi he had drawn with both hands.
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows slightly, picked up the map with her slender fingers, and said with a slight scorn, "After my father left, I really haven't moved my muscles for many years..."
Murong Ling was shaken down without any suspicion. After all, her original purpose was to make Linlang set a precedent for a woman to stand in court. But now, in order to pave the way, it would be natural to do more to do this kind of thing.
Tang Zuotou was a smart man and saw that the two of them had something to say, so he found an excuse, cursed at Nan Yi, and left in a hurry.
These were the exact words of her request to Murong Linshen.
"real?"
"This thing has been sent to Huaixia City, and it will be able to give you bad breath soon."
—
"Are you all ready?"
The south wind blew and heavy rain filled the pond. While the war was still raging in the Huaixia City area, Linlang quickly ran through the simulation several times and learned [Basic Equestrian].
Then he quickly mounted his horse and followed the team dispatched by Murong Linshen with all his strength, secretly tricking Chen Cang into heading to the west.
She is not used to it and she is not very good at riding a horse.
But at this important juncture, these are all considered trivial matters, and being pretentious is nothing.
