Empress, your husband is invincible

Feng Hao turned around subconsciously, and after seeing Ye Cheng and Li Baijing with normal expressions, he couldn't help getting up in embarrassment.

Ling Xuejian stepped up to the gazebo lightly, and sat beside Ye Cheng involuntarily.Looking at the cakes on the table with great interest, he said with a smile:

"What were you talking about just now?"

Ye Cheng picked out a piece of pink pastry and handed it to her.

"Return to Your Majesty, I can't tell you about this for the time being.

If you want to know in advance, please arrange for me and Bai Jing to have a real job in the army first. "

Inadvertently caught a glimpse of the hairpin on Ling Xuejian's hair, he couldn't help but feel better, and blurted out to add:
"Alternatively, let Commander Zhuang second me for a while."

Ling Xuejian was slightly stunned, his eyes swept over Zhuang Shuanglin and Li Baijing.

But after seeing Li Baijing's appearance clearly at this moment, a sullen expression appeared on his face.

Zhuang Shuanglin was stunned for a moment, and stared viciously at Li Baijing who was staring at the hairpin on Ling Xuejian's bun in a daze.

Li Baijing came to his senses immediately, and after looking at Ye Cheng strangely, he hurriedly lowered his head.

Ye Cheng pretended not to see his frantically raised eyebrows towards him, and picked out brightly colored pastries for Ling Xuejian on his own.

Ling Xuejian only thought that what Ye Cheng said just now was a joke, casually took a small bite of the pastry, his eyes sparkled slightly.

This pastry melts in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, just like the warm spring breeze, refreshing.

After squinting for a moment, Ling Xuejian turned to look at the reserved Feng Hao, and exclaimed:

"Mr. Feng's pastry skills are so good?"

Feng Hao was taken aback for a moment, and then came to his senses.

Among the internal guards of the East Eighth Institute, he has always been called a weirdo, loves flowers and plants, loves insects and animals, is good at cooking, and has a good reputation.

Presumably, His Majesty must have known this through some means...

Feng Hao reacted and wanted to kneel on one knee habitually.

But almost instantly, he stopped, lowered his head and said:
"If Your Majesty likes it, feel free to send ministers in the future, and let them pay tribute from time to time."

Ling Xuejian smiled and waved casually:
"Forget it, it's the same when you send it to Mr. Ye in your spare time."

Ye Cheng reluctantly lowered his head and smiled.

Glancing at him, Ling Xuejian suddenly smiled at Li Baijing and said:
"Mr. Li, I saw that Shuanglin and you both reacted to the pearl hairpin on my head. I wonder if you can clear up my doubts?"

"what?"

Li Baijing raised his head sharply.

Ye Cheng looked embarrassed, and Zhuang Shuanglin also showed a no-nonsense look.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Baijing finally explained the origin of this pearl hairpin in a blink of an eye...

Seeing Ye Cheng's increasingly embarrassing expression and lowering his head, Li Baijing couldn't help but playfully:

"...Your Majesty doesn't know, because of this pearl hairpin, Cao Min and Brother Ye also served as Zhuang Yan's civil and martial arts instructor."

The corners of Ling Xuejian's mouth curled up slowly, looking at the embarrassed Ye Cheng with great interest:

"Mr. Ye, is that so..."

Ye Cheng nodded awkwardly.

This matter really has to be embarrassing, even with Ye Cheng's thick skin——

Kidnapped children's money to buy gifts for his wife, and was exposed on the spot...

Just thinking about it can make people die in place...

Ling Xuejian propped her chin with her palm, and the breath from her embroidered nose blew on the side of Ye Cheng's face.

Ye Cheng couldn't help but get even more desperate.

At this moment, Li Baijing's words changed, and he said seriously again:
"Your Majesty, please forgive Cao Min for taking the liberty to explain to Brother Ye——

But if you think about it carefully, doesn't this also show Brother Ye's affection for His Majesty? "

In an instant, Ling Xuejian's face turned crimson.

Pursing her lips, Ling Xuejian glanced at Li Baijing shyly, and said angrily:

"At this moment, it's less than seven days before the contest. If Ye Cheng can't win, I'm asking you!"

"..."

Li Baijing's face froze immediately.

His face became redder, Ling Xuejian couldn't sit still, and waved his hand at Zhuang Shuanglin who had a strange expression beside him:

"Shuanglin, let's go."

Ling Xuejian has a vigorous temperament, and he can leave as soon as he says.

Staring blankly at her back, Li Baijing looked at Ye Cheng hesitantly:

"...Brother Ye, what's the matter?"

"Li Baijing, tell me, if I deliberately lose in the competition, what will happen to you?"

Ye Cheng looked at him with a half-smile.

……

After leaving Tingfeng Palace for a certain distance, Ling Xuejian's expression returned to normal. After waving away from others, he asked Zhuang Shuanglin:
"Shuanglin, Li Baijing is quite a good person, do you know where he came from?"

Zhuang Shuanglin pondered for a moment, then knelt down on one knee, and explained in detail what he knew about Li Baijing.

Before he finished listening, Ling Xuejian raised his brows slightly. After listening, he even frowned and looked at Zhuang Shuanglin:
"The dignified Li family of Dengzhou, why is it that no one reported the massacre of such a rich family, and even you kept it from me?"

Zhuang Shuanglin didn't say a word, just looked down at the ground.

Ling Xuejian frowned and looked at her for a moment, then sighed suddenly, and said weakly:

"That's right, such a tragedy of a big family can be suppressed. Even if you tell me, I am helpless right now...

The former official doctor was called Li Boxian?Also from Dengzhou? "

"Returning to Your Majesty, Li Boxian is none other than Li Baijing's cousin... he has a good official reputation and quite a virtuous name."

Ling Xuejian's face darkened, and after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Then don't give him the palace card for the time being. You are in the Marquis Wu's mansion and find an errand for him temporarily.

After Marquis Wu returns triumphantly, see if he can be included in the army. "

"...here."

Zhuang Shuanglin was excited for a moment.

"How is your cousin?"

Turning his head and glanced in the direction of Tingfeng Palace, Ling Xuejian asked again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. My cousin's condition is no longer hindered. On the day of the competition, he will definitely be able to attend."

Zhuang Shuanglin felt a little helpless when he thought of Ye Cheng's skills.

Sometimes, she really can't bear to watch Ling Xuejian cheating for Ye Cheng like this...

Ling Xuejian pondered for a moment, still a little worried:
"Well... you go too, and together with Li Baijing, see if you can teach Ye Cheng a few moves to protect himself."

Zhuang Shuanglin had no choice but to follow orders.

Seeing that Zhuang Shuanglin turned around and didn't take a few steps, Ling Xuejian pursed her lips:
"Shuanglin, you are the person I can trust the most.

Ye Cheng is of great use to me in the future, but he has to overcome the hurdle of the martial arts competition..."

Zhuang Shuanglin paused, turned around and saluted her solemnly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will guarantee that Ye Sheng will win with the guarantee of the Wuhou Mansion!"

Ling Xuejian just gave up.

As soon as Zhuang Shuanglin stepped into the small courtyard of Tingfeng Palace, he almost bumped into Feng Hao who was suppressing a smile.

After letting Feng Hao pass, Zhuang Shuanglin rarely lost his composure as soon as he entered the courtyard.
