Prince's Mansion

Ling Peiyao sat on a chair, rubbing a piece of jade in his hand, Ling Dongche stood opposite him, bowed his head and said nothing.Ling Peiyao raised his head, a strange light shone from his eagle eyes, he clasped one hand on the table, and knocked on the table repeatedly, making a continuous muffled sound.

"This is troublesome." Ling Peiyao's voice was low and depressed, "Mu Qing is really, why did he agree so easily?" He stopped knocking on the table, stood up with his hands behind his back and took a few steps, stopped In front of Ling Dongche, "If Lao Ba and Gu Xiang join forces, it will be really troublesome."

Ling Dongche couldn't help but said, "Father, Uncle Eighth Prince may not really have the intention to seize the heirloom. It has always been your guess. You have done so many wrong things, so don't continue." Ling Peiyao set off Eyelid looked at him with a strange smile, and said in a low voice, "If you're not afraid of [-], you're just in case, Che'er, if you say it's not likely, is it true?"

"If you want to achieve great things, you can't be indecisive and soft-hearted." Ling Peiyao turned around and raised her head, "As my son, you can't." Ling Dongche knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't listen to it, so he simply closed it. mouth, Ling Peiyao walked back to the chair and sat down, put the jade that he had been holding on the table, and reached out to pick up the tea on the table.

After taking a sip, Ling Peiyao raised his eyes, looked at Ling Dongche and said, "A few days ago, I found several masters, including that famous master who went to Xiaowang's mansion to find Xuan Tie Ling empty-handed, but they all returned in vain. He paused for a moment, and frowned impatiently, "Old Ba must have hidden the Xuan Tie Ling, I guess, he's not in Xiao Wang's Mansion."

The Xuantie Token is very important. With the order, one hundred thousand National Defense Army can be mobilized. The National Defense Army is the foundation of the country that Ling Peixuan created. Apart from Ling Peixuan himself, the Xuantie Token is the only evidence that can mobilize the National Defense Army.Ling Peiyao has been arguing about the idea of ​​Xuan Tie Ling for a long time, and planted many informants in Prince Xiao's mansion, and with great difficulty, he sent people to steal Xuan Tie Ling, but failed many times.

Ling Peiyao was a little impatient. He visited Lin Zhong a few days ago, and Lin Zhong told him that Ling Sheng's health was getting worse and worse, and it wouldn't last for a few years.He knew very well in his heart that his father was the key link, once the link was broken, the situation would be so chaotic that he could not predict it.It was precisely because he was not sure that he hadn't attacked Ling Cheng. Otherwise, according to his temperament, he had already done a lot of things to kill his brothers. Would he still be afraid of a king and father?

He had given Ling Peixuan medicine for so many years, he was going to die, but he suddenly recovered, Ling Peiyao gritted his teeth angrily.He really couldn't wait any longer, and he didn't want to wait any longer. As long as he got the Xuan Tie Token, even if he killed Ling Peixuan and Ling Sheng in a fair manner, who would dare to say anything?But the biggest problem now is that he can't find the Black Tie Token.

Ling Dongche didn't know what was going on in Ling Peiyao's mind, he didn't dare to answer, Ling Peiyao suddenly changed the subject, "Che'er thinks, Sun Gaoyi, Prime Minister Gao, Yuan Chengguan, the youngest son of Grand Master Yuan, and Shangguan Lian, which of these three sons better?"

Ling Dongche didn't know what he wanted to do, so he said his thoughts honestly, "Gao Yi is a frail scholar, but he has a flexible mind, and the mechanisms he developed are very delicate. But his nature is not bad. As for Major General Shangguan, he is usually unsmiling and serious, except that my son knows that he is good at martial arts, but he doesn't know much about him."

Ling Peiyao smiled and looked at him with squinted eyes, "In your opinion, which one is more suitable for you?" Ling Dongche changed his expression, pretending not to care, and asked, "Father, what do you want?" From the three of them, find a good husband for Ran'er?"

Ling Peiyao nodded, "Lao Ba has won over Gu Qiankun, and I can't let go. Besides, she's not too young. Mu Qing is already married, so shouldn't it be her turn?" Ling Dongche hesitated, testing He asked, "Father, did you mean to ask Ran'er? She probably didn't mean that to those three people."

"She is interested in Lan Xiyu, can I follow her?" Ling Peiyao's face turned cold, Ling Dongche thumped in his heart, and pretended to be surprised, "Isn't the father joking? Guard Lan is a woman, But how is it possible..."

Ling Peiyao snorted coldly, and didn't explain much, but said, "Recently, you should get in touch with Gao Yi, Yuan Chengguan, and Shangguan Lian more often, and carefully consider and see which one is more suitable for Ran'er. When it is confirmed, I will go to Please grant me a marriage from your imperial grandfather." Ling Dongche didn't say much, and answered yes respectfully.

On Ling Muran's side, she didn't know that her father had already told her about her life, and she was still wondering how Ling Muqing would agree to marry Gu Heng.Ever since she knew that Mo Liangyi was a daughter, she had been to Prince Xiao's Mansion several times, and she was regarded as a kindred spirit, Ling Muran still supported her.

It's just that Ling Muqing acquiesced in the marriage with Gu Heng, Ling Muran guessed that there must be something tricky in it, but still couldn't figure out what method Ling Cheng used to make Ling Muqing submit.In Ling Muran's memory, no one can force her to do anything that her sister Huang doesn't want to do.

Since Ling Muqing married into Gu's mansion, she has been living in seclusion, and Ling Muran started running to Gu's mansion again.Zuo Xiang Gu Qiankun has three sons and a daughter under his knees. The eldest daughter has already been married, and the eldest son was transferred to a local government by Ling Sheng, and he is not at home all year round.

Gu Heng is Gu Qiankun's second son, also the first son, the only child born to his first wife.Gu Heng is also the most favored at home, plus he is humble, both civil and military, and has a good reputation in the capital, even Gu Qiankun, who has always been strict, favors him, and has a pleasant face.

The Gu family also has a young son named Gu Zhang. Gu Zhang was born to a concubine and passed away to his mother when he was born. He doesn't have much talent, so he has been hiding under the light of Gu Heng, but he has always kept a low profile.Ling Muqing liked this child quite a lot. Gu Zhang was only 14 years old, but he was very sensible. Ling Muqing usually had nothing to do in the mansion, so Gu Zhang would accompany her.

"Second sister-in-law, do you not like my second brother?" Gu Zhang asked without raising his head, with a kite tied in his hand.Ling Mu glanced at him, continued to paint, and asked casually, "Why does Zhang'er ask that?" Now that she has done her hair like a married woman, she shows maturity.

Gu Zhang smiled, "I can see it." Ling Muqing smiled but said nothing, Gu Zhang got the kite almost done, clapped his hands and walked to Ling Muqing, and asked her softly, "Second sister-in-law, do you like that little genius doctor? "

"Yeah." Ling Muqing put down his pen, stretched out his hand and patted Gu Zhang's head, "What little genius doctor, she's much older than you." She said this lightly, but Gu Zhang understood.The little boy couldn't understand the sorrow in his second sister-in-law's eyes, but he could see that the corners of her lips were stiff and her smile was extremely unnatural.

Gu Zhang lowered his head and looked at the painting that Ling Muqing had just drawn on the desk. It was a portrait of a boy lying under a tree with his eyes closed.Gu Zhang knew that Ling Muqing had been painting this painting since he entered Gu's residence, and it took him a long time to finish it.He doesn't know how to paint, and he doesn't know how to paint well, but he knows that Ling Muqing paints with great care.

The painting is so delicate that the slightly lazy expression seems to be in front of his eyes. Gu Zhang tilted his head and smiled, "Second Sister-in-law, this person seems to be waking up." Ling Muqing picked up the painting of a lady on the side Tuanfan, gently fanning the ink dry, heard this and smiled softly.

"Did the second sister-in-law draw Mo Liangyi?" Gu Zhang asked again, Ling Muqing nodded, and Gu Zhang sighed pretentiously, as if talking to himself, "Since the second sister-in-law likes her, why not?" Want to marry the second brother?" Ling Muqing sighed softly, and said, "Zhang'er is still young, so I don't understand that some people can be together if they like it. Just like I don't like your second brother, but I still can't Not married to him."

Gu Zhang raised his head, looked at Ling Muqing very seriously, and asked softly, "Is it because she is a woman?" I understand, but in this high-walled courtyard, the only one Ling Muqing can spit out is him.

With pain in her eyes, she looked at the painting almost in despair, and murmured, "Yes, because she is a woman, the whole world won't allow me to be with her." Her eyelashes trembled, As if remembering something, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled softly.

"Who said that?" The young man was in the period of changing his voice, and his voice was a little low. Gu Zhang stretched out his hand and tugged at Ling Muqing's cuff, and grinned at her, "Zhang'er thinks that the second sister-in-law is quite comfortable with her." Alright." He curled his lips, childishly, "At least you will be happier."

Ling Muqing's eyes were full of water, he pursed his lower lip, put a hand on Gu Zhang's head, and rubbed it lightly, "Zhang'er is so nice."

"Second sister-in-law is good." Gu Zhang smiled, and the next moment he became extremely serious. The young boy who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth promised her, "I will study hard with my master, and I will get a good reputation in the future and become a high-ranking official. Second sister-in-law , when I become a high official, I can participate in the revision of the law, and when the time comes, I will definitely revise our law, as long as there is a lover, they can marry freely, and others have no right to interfere!"

It was such a naive idea, Ling Muqing raised the corners of his lips, instead of pouring cold water on Gu Zhang, he smiled encouragingly, "Zhang'er can definitely do it." Gu Zhang's eyes lit up, he clenched his fists, and made up his mind in his heart.He must work hard to become like the second brother.No, he is stronger than Gu Heng!

Ling Muqing patted his head, reached out to put away the freshly dried paintings on the table, just after packing, there were footsteps outside the door, and a man walked into the study.That man has a handsome appearance, a personable demeanor, and his gestures are full of elegance. It is Gu Heng.When Gu Zhang saw him, he immediately became cautious and called weakly, "Second brother."

"Zhang'er is here too." Gu Heng's voice was warm and sounded very comfortable, Gu Zhang nodded, and pointed to the kite on the side, "Second sister-in-law said that she will take me to fly the kite next spring, I made it myself .” Gu Heng glanced at it, then chuckled, “It’s well tied.”

Gu Zhang got the compliment, and he was very happy in his heart. Gu Heng said again, "Master Chen just came here, he should be looking for Zhang'er." Gu Zhang blinked, walked over to hold the kite in his arms, and looked back at Ling Muqing, " Second sister-in-law, then I will leave first, and come to play with you when I have time." Ling Muqing nodded, and Gu Zhang said goodbye to Gu Heng again, and left the study at a faster pace.
