MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 76
After completing the dimensionality reduction attack on the third princess, the second princess was content with pulling her sister and leading the servants away from the palace. Ling Budo looked at the direction they were leaving from afar, and said, "It seems that the two Your Royal Highnesses will not visit the Empress and Concubine Yue today."
Shao Shang suddenly asked: "Has the third princess not been in the palace often these days?"
Ling Budo glanced at her: "Not bad. How do you know."
Shao Shang did not care: "I heard the second princess just now that the third princess was deprived of 30% of the food towns a few months ago. Although I don't know what fault Your Highness committed, I just listened to her words. There is still anger, and I think the father and daughter have not reconciled. In this way, with her temperament, naturally she will not enter the palace frequently. "
Ling Budo was silent for a moment, then said: "That's right. However, it was not Your Majesty who proposed depriving the third princess of the food city as punishment, but the concubine Yue. Routine family feasts have never entered the palace."
Shao Shang was taken aback: "Is Concubine Yue the biological mother of the third princess?" .
"The concubine Yue is very strict in raising children, you will know later."
After Ling Budo said this, he picked up the young merchant and left. The personal bodyguard he brought followed quietly and neatly, always separated by about ten feet. Shao Shang stumbled and was dragged and walked briskly, looking back at these silent followers from time to time. She was not used to such a big pomp. She wanted to say something, but Ling did not say a word and just walked in big strides. The height condition was placed there, and Shao Shang was dragged almost to a trot, she thought, could this be the legendary cold war stage of couples.
"Lord Ling Budo!"
Seeing the palace in front of you, the young man stopped his steps, grabbed his fiancé's arm with both hands, and panted, "...if you have anything to say, I'll be facing the saint in a while. Yes, you are out of breath for dragging me, and if you can't return to your Majesty... I don't have 30% of the food to be confiscated, only the head of the head!" At that time, there is really no need to get married.
Ling Budo stopped in her footsteps, looked at her gloomily, and said slowly: "I have rarely seen wrongs in my life, and now I know that you are a cunning and selfish woman! When you can use me , full of sweet words, praised me with all kinds of praise; when you found out that I was not the kind of husband you wanted, you abandoned me like a shoe."
Shao Shang was silent: "...you are right." According to the customs of this era, her excessive flattery before was indeed easy for men to misunderstand. She is very sorry in this regard, but you resentful woman What's with the tone.
"When you called me 'brother', I should have thought of your intentions. You covet the help I can give you, but you despise me and don't want me, so I just want me to be a 'near, not far' brother Raoshizi for you!"
Shao Shang thought about it and sighed, "That's right. However, I don't dislike you."
How could she despise him! However, the most beautiful moment for a creature like a male **** is when it is placed on the altar. As long as he stays on the altar forever, he can be the comfort of your soul, the beacon of faith that guides the way...
She is very willing to regard Ling Budo as such a perfect statue, which can not only be used for worship, but also serve as a backer, which is really beautiful. She had a good plan, but who would have thought that people would squeeze into her life against her will. In the not-too-distant future, this beautiful and powerful deity will sleep beside him, and the taste is simply sour and refreshing.
Ling Buxuan stared at her coldly with phoenix eyes filled with anger and disbelief.
Shao Shang smiled bitterly: "How can I despise you, I despise myself." This is the truth, she knows that she has many shortcomings, and the reason for not getting along with others is often her own.
"Since you know that your temperament is not good, but you don't want to change it at all." Ling Budo stared at her.
Shao Shang sighed: "If it can be easily changed, how come it is difficult to change the nature of easy change."
Ling Budo sneered: "This is you. Wisdom is enough to refuse remonstrance, and words are enough to cover up wrong."
Hearing the familiar words, Shaoshang burst into laughter: "My mother often said that, you and her must get along well."
Ling Budo said word by word, "However, I will not withdraw from my relatives."
"Since you know my temperament is somewhat unbearable...why do you have to marry me." Shaoshang was speechless.
Ling Budo looked at her for a while, then suddenly said something wrong: "I fell off a horse and was injured the day before yesterday. You haven't asked about my injury."
Shao Shang looked up and saw the bloodstains on his slender neck and beautiful side face, reflecting his complexion, like white walls stained with red. She felt inexplicably soft-hearted, stretched out her left hand to gently stroke his bandaged neck, and whispered, "Does it hurt?"
The coldness in Ling Budo's eyes eased, and he was angry for two days and two nights, as if he was waiting for such a simple greeting and such a gentle touch. He held the girl's little hand on his neck and said softly, "You don't have to be afraid when you come to your Majesty later. Your Majesty is very kind. You can say whatever you want, and it doesn't matter if you say it wrong. I am there."
Shao Shang looked at the handsome and tall young man in front of her, her heart seemed to leap over thousands of mountains and rivers in an instant, and she suddenly felt tired: "...Actually, your temperament is also It's no better than me. It's hot and cold, the weather is uncertain, how can ordinary people stand it."
Ling Budo heard this rant, her eyes like deep amber glowed with brilliance, as bright as the stars. He touched Shaoshang's soft and childish forehead and said softly, "If you treat me better, I won't be like this."
Shao Shang was speechless for a while: "Isn't this what I should say to you?"
"You're not good to me, that's why I go horseback riding after drinking." Ling Budo was serious, "However, I didn't tell anyone that I fell off the horse because of you. ."
Shao Shang stared at his big round eyes, almost shedding tears. The old lady didn't want to marry you, but now she reluctantly accepts you, and you choose me to treat you better! No wonder you worried that I would not like it all day before. It seems that you know yourself quite well—"Are you blackmailing me?"
Ling Budo smiled, did not answer, just pulled the girl to continue walking, but this time he slowed down.
Shaoshang followed behind him with an indignant thought: "You are not good at riding yourself, but you are relying on me, but I don't recognize it, it's useless for you to threaten ..." he muttered, but he could only pull him forward.
The smile in the eyes of Xiao Huangmen was even more prosperous, and he kept asking, Ling Budo took the young merchant up the stairs, leaving the personal guard outside the hall.
When the two walked in, Shao Shang heard a few eunuchs whispering behind him—
"Lord Ling is a good man, wait for me to be so humble and kind."
"The eleventh man is different from the prince and grandson next to him, he has no arrogance and harshness!"
"Several adults in Shangshutai often praise him for his obedience to etiquette, bravery, benevolence, and the style of an ancient gentleman!"
"That's the little lady of Cheng's family. She was born beautiful, and I don't know if her temperament is gentle and respectful. It's not easy for Shishi Lang to be alone these years. I just hope this little lady Cheng treats him. Better!"
…
It's a resting place after the discussion, what else do you want to tell me."
Shao Shang lowered his voice and said angrily: "...you really know how to be a human being, now everyone wants me to be nice to you, why no one says it should be nice to me, it's been difficult for me these years. !"
Ling Budo couldn't help laughing: "That's all? I'm going to face the Holy Spirit soon."
"Also!" Shaoshang said with a stern face and took a deep breath, "It's all because of you that I have so many things! Later, if Your Majesty thinks that I scold me, It's all your fault; if Your Majesty reprimands me, it's your fault; if Your Majesty teaches me, and I can't answer it, it's your fault! You can remember it!"
Ling Budo finally couldn't bear it any longer, he turned sideways, held the carved corridor wall of dark red lacquer wood with one hand, and laughed lightly.
Shao Shang was furious, slammed down his sleeves and shook off his hand, stomped his feet childishly, and walked forward on his own.
Ling Budo put his forehead against the back of his hand and chuckled lightly for a while, and said to himself, "Seriously!"
When he looked up again, he saw that the girl had disappeared at the end of the promenade. He strode after him and turned around at the end, when he suddenly saw his fiancee standing behind his back, facing a man about ten paces away. The young man with a long body spoke. He paused slightly, then walked over slowly.
"Are there any beasts chasing you? Every engagement is like running for your life..."
“Except that Master Huangfu sends my aunt a letter of Xiao Pu poetry every month, and my uncle writes a letter to go home every month to complain, I have nothing to do with Master Shanjian, Master Yuan You'd better take care of yourself."
"...then I congratulate you, Shao Shangjun, for another good marriage."
"Can you get rid of the word 'again'!"
Yuan Shen didn't have time to reply, Ling Budo came over and smiled, "It turned out to be a good opinion, I don't know what I was discussing with my wife."
"..." Yuan Shen frowned slightly, "You and Shao Shangjun have not yet married, so it seems inappropriate to call me 'my wife' at this time."
Shao Shang's eyes lit up. In fact, she just wanted to say, 'What kind of wife and mother haven't married yet'. She clapped her hands and smiled, "Young Master Shanjian is very insightful."
Ling Budo gave her a sideways glance, and said in a low voice, "I see that you are also very insightful, why don't you talk to His Majesty later."
Shao Shang immediately softened and kept his mouth shut.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Shen felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, and was about to speak, Ling Budo bowed his hands to him very politely, smiled and said, "Shan Jian is about to leave the palace, now today The anger is burning, it is better for someone to prepare a bamboo hat to shade."
Yuan Shen opened his mouth several times to speak, but in the end he held back, bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency is very polite, I will leave now." After speaking, he couldn't help but read it again. Shao Shang glanced at him, then walked away.
Ling Budoubt stared at the corridor where Yuan Shen left, and did not move for a long time. Shao Shang couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at? Is there anything wrong with Yuan Shen?" Ling Buzhu replied, "It's less than a hundred steps from you and me to this place."
Shao Shang didn't know what he meant, so he made an estimate: "Yes, it's only about a hundred steps, so what?"
Ling Budo looked at her confused and sighed slightly: "Nothing. Let's go see Your Majesty."
After the eunuch's high-pitched voice was passed, the two bowed and entered the inner hall, only to see the emperor sitting high on the top in his normal clothes, and beside him was the queen in plain bun and simple clothes. The smiling prince and the gentle and submissive prince were still sitting.
Ling Budo pulled Shao Shang and both of them to salute, got up and sat down, and said with a smile, "Why is the empress here too? Didn't you say she was waiting for us at Changqiu Palace."
The queen smiled dignifiedly: "Just pretend that I can't wait to see your bride." Then she turned her head and said, "Your Majesty, everyone is here, just say what you want to instruct. "
The emperor looked at the honest little girl kneeling below and nodded slowly: "Well, I finally did the right salute today."
Shaoshang's face flushed with blush. Really ignorant and fearless, she later learned that she had been using the wrong court etiquette.
Ling Budo saw the prince and his wife snickering aside, and couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, the Cheng family didn't want to invite her into the palace. Naturally, there is some negligence in etiquette."
The emperor ignored his adopted son and continued to ask: "Mr. Cheng, do you know how to become Zisheng's wife?"
Shao Shang was confused, how could this sound like the opening speech of a job fair, she looked at several bigwigs, and carefully considered her words: "This... To become Master Ling's wife, Gotta get married first..."
Young businessman hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my concubine is stupid, I don't know His Majesty's intentions, and I just made a false statement, please Your Majesty's forgiveness!" Laughing, what's wrong with what she said!
The emperor did not speak, and there was no joy or anger on his face.
Ling Budo sighed: "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Young businessman is young and uneducated, so he doesn't understand."
You are also treated like your own son, do you think you are a good match for Zisheng?"
Hearing this question, Shao Shang was in tears - heaven, earth, finally someone asked her this question, she really really has a lot to say!
"Not a good match, of course not a good match!" Shaoshang said with a sigh of truth, determined to save even commas when she finished speaking, so she said aloud with enthusiasm -
Over the years, the little girl didn't know ten books and didn't read the whole volume, or did her parents come back recently. Seeing that the little girl was really vulgar and disrespectful, she hurriedly taught a few books and texts, but this little bit of learning was full of calculations and not enough. A dustpan! At that time, my mother said that in the future, I will find a son-in-law with a lower rank for me. In case I am rejected by my family, I can help support it... There is no such thing as a little girl in the world. A little lie! No one in the Cheng family, from grandmother to siblings, would have thought that I would be engaged to such a rare talent as Lord Ling! Really, Your Majesty, this is all true. If I knew that I would be envied by Lord Ling in the future, I would definitely hang my head. Thorn Cone studies hard day and night in winter and summer, but it's too late now! Thinking of marrying such a talented husband-in-law and a young woman like Master Ling, you can't sleep or eat more than once at night. You might as well advise Master Ling to be small Women really don't deserve him!"
Shao Shang almost died after speaking.
The Queen and the Crown Prince were startled and laughed, wiping their tears sideways. The Crown Princess was stunned. The emperor's smile froze. Of course he wasn't waiting for this answer. His original intention was to beat the little girl, so that she wouldn't be spoiled and bullied the adopted son's generosity.
Ling Budo doesn't seem to be surprised by his fiancee's 'high talk', and smiles: "Your Majesty, although young businessman is young, he is so humble and self-aware, so natural and innocent. ."
