"It seems that Mu'er doesn't know Xiaojun Wang very well," Ling Zixuan said.
It was already dark at this time, Ling Zixuan got up from the wine table, put his hands behind his back and raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky.
Xu Shi knows that today is a happy day, and the moon is especially round and bright tonight.
"Although the king of Xiaojun didn't care about the government in the past, his ability and connections are obvious to all the ministers in the court. It must be that he secretly explained everything before leaving. After the prince's people acted, a mysterious team appeared to protect him all the way. , until Concubine Yi was safely sent to the emperor. And the eldest princess learned that it was the dog who did it at this time, and she spent a lot of thought secretly borrowing the relationship." Ling Zixuan laughed at himself, "It's a pity, I thought the king of the little county and Mu At least he will not be our enemy, but I never thought he would choose to be with the crown prince."
"He won't hurt us!" Ling Muer hurriedly added.
Hearing his sister's quick defense, Ling Zixuan frowned slightly, "Mu'er, Su Ce is much more powerful than you imagined. Don't look at him as if he doesn't care about world affairs all day long, but in fact he is very clear about the situation in the court. !In the past, although he did not stand on any side, as long as he wants to act, many courtiers will secretly consciously join the team. Su Ce, he has never been underestimated."
Ling Muer didn't want to refute this point.
It was a man pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. From the first sight, he knew he was a troublesome ghost. She just didn't expect that a person who was in the barracks physically and mentally would be so thoughtful in planning.
"Su Ce has his plan, and he has been working hard for it, but no matter what, he won't hurt anyone in our Ling family!" Ling Muer said firmly.
Looking at Ling Zixuan again, she sighed worriedly, "Brother, I am not the one who should be worried right now. You are the fourth rank now, you have already participated in the government affairs, and you are openly standing in the rank of the Seventh Prince, you are the most dangerous."
Thinking of the Seventh Prince, Ling Mu'er was always worried, "Brother, no matter where you are, or how the situation changes, Mu'er hopes that you will never get involved too much, and be your county matriarch with peace of mind, and take good care of Chaoyang and his wife." The little princess who is about to be born."
My younger sister has always been a smart person. She has the ability and courage to see through many things that they can't see through. Ling Zixuan admires this very much.
So he always agreed unconditionally to his sister's words.
"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you, but..." he hesitated, "One time I accidentally overheard the Seventh Prince talking with someone else, and Shangguan Shaochen was mentioned in it. I heard that his identity is not as simple as what we see. There is even something involved with the one in the palace. Mu'er, do you know about this?"
Finally someone asked, and the joy on Ling Muer's face disappeared, replaced by melancholy.
I'm afraid that the things she has been afraid to face will be brought up with great fanfare soon, right? She wasn't ready to face it, and she didn't even know what she would do if she really got there? Either continue or give up.
Seeing his sister's taciturn and extremely unhappy appearance, Ling Zixuan couldn't bear to ask, "Silly girl, no matter what you decide, brother will always stand behind you."
Maybe she drank too much wine, maybe she finally returned to the warm bed. Ling Muer slept for three days and three nights. If it wasn't for Yang's worrying about pacing back and forth outside the door and waking her up, she would feel that she Can continue to sleep.
"Hey, hey, how tired are you? At the beginning, I said you shouldn't be sent to some military camp. Look at this black and thin guy. You must be starving. Come on, mother made your favorite dumplings."
Being supported to stand up, Ling Muer yawned and stretched. She obviously didn't feel hungry, but smelling the fragrance seemed to draw the gluttons out of her stomach. Looking at the steaming bowl of dumplings, she felt ashamed. Opened his mouth and stuffed three of them.
"Slow down, you eat slowly, if there is not enough, there will be more in the pot." Yang was terrified. In the past few days and nights in Lingjia Village, she didn't eat a bite, and her daughter didn't gobble it up like this. Time for food?
Thinking of her suffering in the barracks brought tears to her eyes.
Realizing that something was wrong, Ling Muer hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks and hugged her arm, "Mother, Muer didn't suffer, Muer ate well and slept well, isn't it because the dumplings you made are too delicious? No matter where The food is not as good as mother's cooking."
Being praised by this small mouth, even if she wanted to cry again, she couldn't hold back the tears. Yang pinched her face while crying and laughing, "You girl, you are the one with the sweetest mouth."
Faintly hearing the sound of gongs and drums outside, Ling Muer pricked up her ears, "What day is it today? Why is it so lively outside?"
"I knew you would be curious. You are about to eat and freshen up. Today is a happy day for the whole country to celebrate. I heard that the emperor is going to take the prince who has been lost for many years to worship the ancestors. The whole capital is watching the excitement. Let's go, Ms. Do you take your mother and grandmother to have a look?"
"Okay, mother, wait for me." Mother rarely offered to go out to play, Ling Muer naturally didn't think about agreeing, and only after she finished speaking did she realize that the situation was wrong.
Brother, have you finally returned to your identity?
In order not to worry her mother and grandmother, Ling Mu'er always had a smile on her face. Just as she was about to go out, she saw her father and uncle coming back from outside.
"Could it be that the emperor brought the prince to worship the ancestors, and even the restaurant can't open?" Ling Muer asked.
"Everyone is going to watch the fun. Today is a big day for the royal family. I heard that the emperor is going to reward the people. Who has the time to eat outside? Your uncle and I just came back. We caught two winter fish. Let's stew fish soup tonight!" Ling Dazhi happily showed off the big carp in his hand.
Yang Dayong mysteriously dragged Ling Mu'er aside, "Mu'er, guess what news Uncle heard?"
"Is there anything more important than the emperor worshiping the ancestors?" Ling Mu'er couldn't figure it out.
"I heard that the enemy army at the border submitted a letter of surrender to our emperor early this morning. Isn't this important?" said the uncle, with a smile on his face. It turns out that there are such people. Not to mention that the enemy army surrendered voluntarily, what's more, it is said that a princess will be sent a month later. If this boy becomes our son-in-law, uncle will be able to go out in the future. Blow."
As soon as the words fell, the uncle remembered the matter of Shangguan Shaochen's amnesia, his face collapsed, and he looked at Ling Mu'er nervously.
But Ling Muer's focus was on the four words 'one month later', "It doesn't mean that the letter of surrender has already been delivered, so why didn't the princess and princess leave now?"
"Who knows what's going on, but I heard from the official who came to the restaurant for dinner today that some envoy seems to be unwell, and I don't know if I heard it wrong." Yang Dayong lowered his voice because he was too guilty to look into Mu'er's eyes. Shaking his head.
The envoy is not feeling well, so why not send other envoys? Could it be that the enemy country has only one envoy?
For some reason, Ling Muer felt inexplicably worried, but at this time, her grandmother and Yang Shi had already made preparations.
"Mu'er, let's go. Listening to the sound of gongs and drums outside, the emperor's army is about to arrive at the gate."
Ling's residence lived on the main road of the capital, and it was the only way to pass through many places. It happened that the emperor's army could pass by the door when they set off, and they could clearly see the true faces of the emperor and prince.
"Mother, grandma, when did you gossip like this? You're just a prince, nothing to see." Ling Muer was not ready, because she didn't know how to explain it to her family.
But Mrs. Yang and her grandmother seemed very excited,
"What do you know, the capital city hasn't been this lively for a long time, and it's good for us to come out and see the crowd." Yang Shi forcefully dragged Ling Mu'er out of the house, and exchanged glances with her grandmother.
In fact, their intention was not to watch any parade, they just wanted to drag Ling Mu'er, who was depressed, out to have fun.
The noisy gongs and drums came from far to near, and seeing the large army approaching, although the distance was far, Ling Muer still caught sight of the tall and handsome man sitting on the sedan chair.
She unconsciously took a few steps back, trying to avoid her gaze, but Yang grabbed her, "Look, Mu'er, he's getting closer, people are getting closer. Look at this prince, he is really noble. I heard he is It has been lost for many years, and I don't know how to find it, this prince is really born with the airs of a prince, with this temperament and appearance..." Speaking of this, Yang paused, and she and her grandmother looked at each other again, and then Looking back carefully at the prince who had just passed by in front of the sedan chair, his eyes quickly shifted to Ling Mu'er.
"No, mother... why does mother look so familiar to this man?"
"Yeah, take a quick look, is it because I am dazzled by the old lady, why do I look at that child so much like a boy?" The grandmother rubbed her eyes, unable to believe her eyes.
Ling Mu'er closed her eyes and opened them again, her eyes just met the second prince on the sedan chair, but the man moved away with just one glance.
He didn't seem to see her there.
He is dressed in a yellow brocade robe, and enjoys the worship of the people aloofly.
But she still recognized him at a glance - Shangguan Shaochen!
"That's right, old woman, I read it right, right? That's Boy Chen, right? But isn't he the commander of the imperial guards? How did he become the second prince of the emperor?" Grandma was shocked, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit. point.
Yang hurriedly supported her old mother, while looking at her daughter, she kept waving to Shangguan Shaochen, but the other party's eyes never stayed on them.
"What the hell is going on here? Is it really amnesia?" All of Yang's good mood disappeared at this moment, so she didn't have the mood to stay here to watch the parade, and hurried back to the house with her mother and daughter.
Ling Dazhi and Yang Dayong, who were planning to go out to watch the fun, heard about the situation outside, even the two big men stared in surprise,
"Second prince? Not only has this person lost his memory, but he doesn't remember us, Mu'er, why did he even change his identity?" Yang Dayong breathed nervously, and even coughed repeatedly in surprise.
"I used to feel that my status was unworthy, but now he is a prince, and we..." Ling Dazhi only felt a headache, and when he looked at the girl who had been silent and taciturn, he was furious, "Well, he is a Shangguan Shaochen. It's been a long time since I kept it from us. Forget it, it's okay to forget, just pretend that we didn't know each other before, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on!"
