Chapter two hundred and sixty-ninth feast no good feast
There are some things that Shangguan Wanning can’t accept his fate.
If one or two misunderstandings can be explained clearly in words, then three or four times will cause anyone to lose patience.
Shangguan Yue couldn't help feeling distressed when he looked at his daughter's sobbing.
"Dad, I'm fine, you don't have to be sad for me."
Shangguan Wanning comforted her father, wiped away her tears, and buried all the pain in her heart.
Shangguan Yue could only sigh heavily.
"Ning'er, my father promised you that the second official would retire, I'm afraid..."
"Dad, I understand."
At the current situation, Shangguan Wanning no longer expects her family to escape unstoppably.
"In fact, this time we can escape the danger smoothly, in addition to having enough evidence, we must also be glad that the emperor is on our side. Otherwise, there will be more dangers."
Shangguan Yue was slightly stunned and looked at his daughter with a complicated gaze with a slightly admiration.
"Ning'er, I didn't expect that you have such a keen sense of government affairs."
Obviously, the empress's family was too powerful and the emperor began to have some taboos.
Ling Ruiying returned to the court and wanted to compete for the position of prime minister, but the emperor could not see it.
Looking at the entire court, Shangguan Yue is the only one who can serve as a chess piece in the hands of the emperor and stabilize the overall situation and control the situation.
"Dad, it's getting late, so you go back and rest. Let's take a long-term plan for the future."
"So too, go to bed."
Shangguan Yue patted his daughter on the shoulder and turned back to the room.
Ling Zhiru was sentenced to hang, and everyone in the Ling family remained silent, and no one pleaded for her.
She was like an abandoned child, dying quietly.
"I heard that after she was strangled to death, she was carried out of prison by the eunuch and buried in a mass grave outside the city."
Lutong fanned Shangguan Wanning, and a kind of sadness appeared in her eyes.
"Actually, I think she is quite pitiful. She was so glorious before her death and so desolate after her death. Before her bones were cold, the Ling family held a banquet to greet Lord Ling..."
Shangguan Wanning's thoughts floated into the distance, and the blue sky seemed to become a little melancholy.
"Ning'er."
Mrs. Shangguan walked in, her face still not good.
Shangguan Wanning hurriedly stood up and helped her. "Mom, your body has not recovered yet. If you have anything, send someone to say it. My daughter will just come and see you."
"I lie down all day long, but I feel uncomfortable. I haven't walked a few steps, so I'll go out for a walk."
Mrs. Shangguan coughed a few times, pulled her daughter to sit down opposite her, and reminded her: "Journalist Ling just now sent someone to send an invitation to invite your father to the banquet in the evening, and it was stated that it was the invitation of the whole mansion."
"I'm afraid my body can't stand the toss and things. You can accompany your father. You have to take care of it well and never lose your etiquette."
Shangguan Wanning didn't remember that she had just formed a marriage with the Ling family, and it was clear that there was no good banquet.
However, if you don’t go, the Shangguan family will seem too petty and you think you are afraid of Ling Ruiying.
"Mom, don't worry."
Shangguan Wanning comforted her mother a few words, then took Lutong to find the housekeeper and prepared a gift for the evening banquet.
Ling Ruiying had great military achievements and the Ling family was already powerful, so almost all the civil and military officials from the court came to him for his reception banquet.
As the leader of all officials, Shangguan Yue gave Ling Ruiying a lot of face.
Shangguan Wanning found that Xiao Yujue's sedan chair was parked in the most conspicuous place.
She immediately thought of Xiao Yujue trying to take the opportunity to win over Ling Ruiying.
She couldn't help but frown, always feeling that something was wrong.
At this time, Xiao Yujue was in Ling Ruiying's study and spread a long-lost famous painting in front of him.
"I've heard that Lord Ling wants an authentic painting. What do you think of this one?"
Ling Ruiying's fingers gently brushed across the screen, and she admired her repeatedly.
In fact, he couldn't tell the authenticity of the painting.
However, he was born as a military general and was not proficient in poetry and songs. He was guilty of hating others saying that he was a martial artist.
Therefore, I always like to be arty.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is really interested. But I heard that the original works of this painter are hard to find."
"That's right. This was found by me who sent someone to steal three large tombs of the previous dynasty."
"So priceless, did the Crown Prince give it to the minister?" Ling Ruiying looked at Xiao Yujue with a smile, "But... he will not receive any reward without merit."
Xiao Yujue looked at Ling Ruiying's hand and clenched the painting, lowered his eyelids and showed a smile.
"Lord Ling has made countless military achievements for the imperial court to expand territory and defend his country. What is a mere painting worth?"
Xiao Yujue opened the folding fan and shook it gently, and sat down on the chair beside him.
"As long as Lord Ling can continue to be loyal to the court, nothing is beyond the reach of a problem."
"Loyalty to the court?" Ling Ruiying smiled meaningfully, "That is the duty of the minister. But... Your Highness, I heard that you had refused to marry the Ling family before. I don't know, do you think the Ling family is not worthy of you.
?”
"Mr. Ling misunderstood. I just think that the girl from the Ling family deserves a unique belonging. If I marry me, I may not be able to have a pair of people for a lifetime. I am a girl from the Ling family. Besides, if I really cooperate,
It’s not impossible for in-laws, do you think it’s?"
Xiao Yujue had lowered his posture, and Ling Ruiying stopped when he saw it was better.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. I am not the kind of unreasonable person. It's just... I was born in a marching and fighting, and I pay attention to cooperation in everything I do. If I can't get along with the confidants of Your Highness the Crown Prince... I will get half the result with twice the effort.
”
Xiao Yujue said something when he heard this.
He lowered his head and smiled, saying, "Mr. Ling, don't worry. I believe you will have a happy cooperation."
The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
Ling Ruiying came to the hall, and many people stood up and bowed.
He invited Xiao Yujue and Shangguan Yue to sit down at the upper position, raise their glasses and drink with everyone.
After three rounds of drinking, Ling Ruiying fixed his eyes on the silent Mu Jingrui.
He stood up and walked to Mu Jingrui, put one hand on his shoulder. His palm was slightly pressed, and Mu Jingrui felt his whole arm numb.
"Mu Lord Mu is a young hero. I have not had such a young minister of War since the founding of the country. It seems that it is time for an old guy like me to retreat bravely."
Mu Jingrui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
He stood up and raised his wine glass with his hands, looking extremely respectful.
"How dare you compete with the bright moon for glory? I am the younger generation in the later stages. Even if you ride a horse and whip, you can't catch up with Lord Ling."
Mu Jingrui's expression did not change and said calmly: "If I had offended and offended me before, please forgive me."
Mu Jingrui held up his wine glass and stared at each other with Ling Ruiying.
After a long time, Ling Ruiying slowly stretched out his hand.
