Your Majesty is happy [rebirth]

Chapter 31

Two feudal lords died in a row, and people in the government and the public were in panic, but Ling Qiyou seemed to be fine. A few days after Ling Chen's death, he held a [-]-day banquet for Xiao Mantou in the Zhaode Palace, and put on a big show. For the banquet, not only the relatives of the emperor, but all the officials above the second rank came to participate.

Xiao Mantou was changed into a red jacket, and wore a tiger fur hat on his head. He grinned and looked at Xiao Chuqian who was teasing him with a toy in front of him with a smirk, like a lucky doll.

Xiao Chuqian stretched out his hand, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and squeezed his face hard. Seeing that Xiao Mantou was about to cry again, he quickly hugged him to coax him: "Hey, no Cry, today you are the protagonist, you can't lose your father's face in front of the civil and military courts."

The little Eunuch Shitou at the side looked at Xiao Chuqian, then at the little steamed bun in his arms, and suddenly said: "His Royal Highness and Eunuch Chu look quite alike..."

Xiao Chuqian glanced at him: "Really?"

"Look at yourself in the mirror, it looks pretty good."

Xiao Chuqian hugged Xiao Mantou and went to the mirror, his face, one big and one small, squeezed together, looking carefully, Xiao Mantou's nose and mouth, including the shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth when he laughed, were exactly the same as Ling Qiyou's. , that pair of peach blossom eyes are somewhat similar to him.

"Is that right? I'm not wrong. Does His Highness the Crown Prince look somewhat similar to you? People who don't know look at him and think he is your son, Eunuch Chu...It's a pity that we eunuchs can't have a son. "

Xiao Chuqian smiled complacently, who said he couldn't give birth, but he didn't want to give birth, little mantou... Seeing the little thing giggling in the mirror all the time, Xiao Chuqian sighed softly in his heart, if it was him My son will be fine, what a pity.

Putting the little mantou back in the cradle, Xiao Chuqian grabbed his left hand and carefully put on the gold bracelet that he had prepared earlier in the morning.

"Da da……"

Little Mantou yelled, seemingly very happy.

Ling Qiyou, who finished handling political affairs in the side hall, stepped into the door, and saw the scene of Xiao Chuqian bending over the cradle, holding the hand of the little steamed bun, lowering his head and kissing his face. After a pause, he slowed down Walking forward, seeing the thing on Xiao Mantou's left hand, he reached out and dialed the bell on the bracelet, and asked coldly, "Where did this come from?"

Xiao Chuqian raised his head and looked at him with a smile: "I bought it with my salary."

Ling Qiyou scoffed lightly: "Only your little salary is enough to buy this?"

Xiao Chuqian shook his head, disapproving: "If you don't have enough, just ask someone to borrow it."

Ling Qiyou didn't say anything else, seeing Xiao Mantou holding on to the bracelet and shaking it non-stop, and hearing the crisp sound of the bell, he seemed to like it very much, pursed his lips, did not say the word "throw away".

However, Xiao Chuqian suddenly raised his eyes to look at him again, and asked, "Does Your Majesty think that His Highness the Crown Prince looks alike to your servants?"

Ling Qiyou was startled when he heard these words, and the expression in his eyes became colder: "He is my son, what does he have to do with you?"

It's really not interesting at all, Xiao Chuqian sighed secretly, and stopped talking, turned his head and continued to tease Xiao Mantou.

Ling Qiyou looked at the silly look of Xiao Mantou holding his finger and sending it to his mouth, and his heart suddenly moved. At that moment, he actually had the urge to tell the truth, but it was only for a moment , but then thought, it is too absurd.

In the evening, the officials arrived one after another, dozens of tables of banquets had already been set up in the courtyard outside the Zhaode Hall, the maids and eunuchs led the crowd to sit down and serve the wine, and all the people were courteous and warm to each other, it was very lively for a while.

Not long after, the little mantou was carried by the nanny, and came out behind Ling Qiyou.

Ling Qiyou sat down in front of the throne, and in front of him was his own table. After everyone bowed together, he motioned for them all to sit down, and then ordered them to go down, and the banquet began.

The Hundred Days of His Highness the Crown Prince had already passed, and when he chose to serve wine to him at such a time, everyone only thought that His Majesty wanted to use this to stabilize people's hearts. Putting on a smiley face, he accompanied Ling Qiyou to exchange cups, and repeatedly complimented the little prince who was carried out for the first time to appear in front of everyone.

Xiao Mantou seemed to have never seen so many people in a battle, his eyes rolled around curiously, but with Ling Qiyou by his side, he didn't admit his life at all, as long as someone complimented him, he would laugh, so he attracted a lot of attention. More compliments, all the officials said things like the prince is a good-looking and good-looking prince, worthy of His Majesty's prince, and he will definitely be a dragon among men in the future.

Ling Qiyou listened to the officials flattering, glanced at the little mantou in the nanny's arms who could only giggle, and felt a little funny in his heart, such a silly little thing is also a dragon among men, and it really is all these Talking nonsense with eyes open.

After drinking for three rounds, compared to the previous restraint, the person I like who drank too much has let go now. There is a lot of people talking, laughing and persuading people to drink. Ling Qiyou is also a little bit drunk. He refused, with a smile on his lips, and Xiao Mantou had long since fallen asleep in the nurse's arms, and was carried back to the dormitory.

It was getting dark, and people fell down one after another, and some people were staggering and helped to go to the toilet. More people drank from this table and said that they could not tell the north, south, east, and west from the other table. The entire Zhaode Hall except the courtyard where the banquet was held The lights in the room are brightly lit, so only the bedroom where Xiao Mantou stays still has lights.

No one noticed when someone took advantage of the chaos and slipped into places they shouldn't be.

The originally dark side hall suddenly turned on the lights, and the person in front of the emperor's case turned around in surprise, holding the golden whistle in his hand.

Ling Qiyou was standing by the door, followed by his guards and eunuchs, and now he looked coldly at the people who broke into the palace to steal things, the smile on the corner of his mouth was somewhat playful, and the look in his eyes was no longer there. Drunk and blurred when I was outside just now.

Xu Chongqing, who was specially brought by Ling Qiyou, looked at the people in the room in shock, his face changed drastically, and his voice almost trembled: "You...what are you doing...why are you..."

It was Lin Tan, one of his most loyal cronies.

The surprise in Lin Tan's eyes was fleeting, he lowered his head, and replied calmly: "I just drank too much, went the wrong way in a daze, and broke into His Majesty's palace by mistake. Please forgive me."

Ling Qiyou raised his eyebrows: "Break in by mistake? What are you holding in your hand?"

Lin Tan subconsciously clenched the whistle in his hand, gritted his teeth and said nothing more, Xu Chongqing was furious, and asked him loudly: "Tell me! Are you a spy from the Southern Barbarians?! Did you kill King Luo and King Qi?!"

Lin Tan clenched his teeth tighter. After a moment of silence, he finally raised his head and stood up straight. His eyes had completely changed, and there was no respect or fear at all: "Since you all already know, there is nothing less to say. If you want to kill or cut, let me listen to you."

Ling Qiyou's pupils narrowed slightly, but the murderous intent in his eyes was no longer concealed, "Are you from Yuwen Minhao? You have been lurking in my court for so many years just to stir up civil strife in my court? You want to take advantage of this opportunity?"

Lin Tan sneered: "If I hadn't been careless and dropped something this time, you might not have been able to find me. You have no way to explain to the world that two vassal kings died. His throne is also unstable."

Ling Qiyou raised his chin slightly, and a guard stepped forward. Lin Qin took a step back guardedly and wanted to resist, but his body softened, and he was pushed to the ground immediately, and he understood instantly, perhaps Just now the wine he drank had been drugged, he suddenly raised his head to look at Ling Qiyou, met his sneering eyes, Lin Qin gritted his teeth: "You knew it was me?"

"How many people have you sent to our dynasty? If you are willing to tell the truth, I can leave you a whole body. Otherwise, don't blame me for making your life worse than death." Ling Qiyou's tone did not fluctuate much, His words were full of coldness.

Lin Tan stared at him fiercely, and after a while, he burst out laughing: "Who else? Isn't His Majesty's uncle the emperor? Isn't the most trusted guard Shen next to King Xuan the adopted son of my general who protects the country? Seven years ago In the Battle of Pingcheng, it was this Young General Shen who led our [-] troops from the Southern Kingdom to the battle. King Xuan raised a tiger and left such a disaster by his side, but His Majesty repeatedly excused it, it is really ridiculous."

This time not only Xu Chongqing was surprised, Ling Qiyou was also stunned, he raised his eyes and glared at Xiao Chuqian who was watching the fun, Xiao Chuqian gave a dry laugh awkwardly, and turned his eyes a little guilty.

In the great battle between the Dasheng Dynasty and the Nanman Kingdom seven years ago, the leading general of the Dasheng Dynasty at that time was Xiao Chuqian.

So from the beginning, when he said he didn't know Shen Lexin, he was just pretending.

"Go and bring King Xuan and Shen Lexin to me." Every word, Ling Qiyou almost gritted his teeth.

Ling Jing and Shen Lexin were quickly brought here. Ling Jing was a little surprised when she saw Lin Tan being pushed to the ground, and Shen Lexin looked at him calmly. Xu Chongqing, who couldn't hold his breath for a while, said sharply: "King Xuan You are so brave! How dare you keep a Nanman spies by your side! Are you going to collude with the enemy and treason?!"

Ling Jing frowned slightly, and argued, "He's not..."

"Are you from the Nanman country?" Ling Qiyou interrupted Ling Jing, and looked straight at Shen Lexin for a moment: "Are you the adopted son of the general who protects the country of the Nanman country? You were the major general who led the army to invade our border?"

"Your Majesty, there is a misunderstanding on this matter, don't listen to this person's one-sided words..."

"Forget it," Ling Jing wanted to explain again, but this time she was interrupted leisurely by Shen Lexin: "Even if I say I'm not His Majesty, I won't believe it, will I?"

Then he smiled and admitted it straightforwardly: "Yes, I am indeed, but King Xuan doesn't know about it, so it has nothing to do with him."

Ling Qiyou snorted lightly, but he didn't intend to interrogate this matter at this time. This is two different things from the deaths of King Luo and King Qi. There is no need to confuse it to make it more complicated, so he ordered: "Come on, send King Xuan back as usual. Go to the Qitai Palace, as for the spies of the Southern Man Kingdom, they will be taken to the palace dungeon to await trial."

Ling Jing's face changed when he heard the words, but Shen Lexin seemed to have expected this. When the guards came up to arrest him, he turned around to avoid it, hooked his foot over the stool beside him, and threw it away. Before everyone could recover, He had already rushed into the bedroom beside him, and the next moment, Xiao Mantou's earth-shattering howls rang out.

The nanny and eunuch in the dormitory fell to the ground, Shen Lexin had already picked up the little steamed bun, stuck one hand on his neck, her eyes were filled with murderous intent, she stared coldly at the one who had changed her face when she saw this scene Ling Qiyou: "Let me go, or I will let your crown prince be buried with you."
