Chapter 518

When Xia Yi and Xiao Linmu arrived, they got a lot of people's attention.

We all want to see if Xiao Linmu, who was carried to the court more than a month ago, has really recovered completely.

They stare at Xiao Linmu from beginning to end, hoping to see some clues from every step and breath.

From the beginning of the hall, this kind of vision has not been broken.

Xiao Linmu looked as if there was nothing in the whole process, and he didn't stop until he reached the innermost part of the hall.

"I have seen my father." Xiao Linmu saluted the emperor.

"I have seen my father." Xia Yi also gave a salute.

The emperor said, "you're welcome. Sit down."

The table of Xiao Linmu and Xia Yi is at the bottom of the emperor, facing Xiao Linjin's table.

After Xiao Linmu and Xia Yi sat down, the emperor leaned forward to speak to Xiao Linmu.

"How well are you?"

Xiao Linmu said, "it's ready."

The emperor nodded again and again: "well, it's OK, so that I won't worry about it. You have time not to go out, you can take the princess to the palace to play

Xiao Linmu's complexion is already white. After a winter's molting, his skin has changed into a new layer, which is much more white and tender than before. It looks like he has not been in the sun for a long time.

In fact, these days, Xiao Linmu doesn't often stay in the cabin on the mountain. Instead, he wanders with Xia Yi all over the mountain many times.

"Well, good." Xiao Linmu said.

The emperor said with a smile, "I haven't tasted Xia Yi's craftsmanship for a long time..."

It's because of this.

Xiao Linmu didn't have any accident. He just nodded, "um," and there was no expression.

Or Xia Yi took over and said, "what would you like to eat, emperor? Let Duke Dou go to King Mu's house to let him know. I made it and asked him to bring it to the palace for you."

"Sometimes I will be bored and make some snacks. Maybe I can meet them!"

"Good, good!"

The emperor's aim was achieved with a smile.

He saw that Xia Yi liked it. When he learned that Xia Yi was really the daughter of general Chu, he felt more cordial.

"The imperial chef in the palace has made a lot of new tricks recently. Come and have a taste when you have time."

"Well, thank you, Emperor."

Xia Yi's clever response.

The emperor is in a good mood, and laughs a few times, then talks about something else with Xia Yi.

It was originally a celebration banquet for the king of Jin, but the emperor's face turned to the side of King Mu from beginning to end.

The officials sitting below did not know what they said, but they could see that the emperor laughed several times and was in a good mood.

This is a banquet. Officials always have to discuss something when they eat, drink and watch song and dance performances.

In the furthest distance that the emperor, Xiao Linmu and Xiao Linjin could not hear, some officials could not help whispering.

They speculated whether the emperor was not very satisfied with Xiao Linjin's trip to southern Hunan.

Although it was a great victory, it took a month to come back and hurt one arm.

Compared with Xiao Linmu's last time when he just went to deal with the flood, he was superior.

Some people even dare to guess whether the emperor already has a candidate for the crown prince.

But they dare not say it.

Let the emperor know that if they talk openly, they may be put on shoes.

What's more, no matter what, as long as the crown prince has not been appointed, it will not be until the dust is settled, everything will be changeable.

There are countless such cases in history.

The Emperor didn't know how long he had talked with Xia Yi before he remembered something. He raised a cup and said to the ministers, "today's banquet is specially for the king of Jin to celebrate. Don't worry about it."

The emperor raised his glass, and the ministers did not raise their glasses.

Everyone expressed their congratulations to the king of Jin.

The king of Jin injured his right arm. He could only raise a cup or hold chopsticks with his hands.

He said: "thank you. I went to southern Hunan only to fill the vacancy of the fourth emperor's younger brother. If I was sick, I should be the fourth emperor's younger brother."

"You are welcome, brother." Xiao Linmu replied, "this time the imperial brother gave them prestige. They should not dare to make trouble in recent years."

There is no soul after mutual praise, mutual toast link, is the reward.

It is also the most indispensable part of the celebration banquet.

"What reward does the king of Jin want?" Asked the emperor.

This kind of inquiry has always been the practice. It seems that the emperor is lenient, but no one will really ask the emperor for anything.

The final result is naturally that after all kinds of refusals, the emperor still rewards according to his heart.

This is the dignity between the king and the minister.

Xiao Linjin bow hand thanks, "thanks father Huang Long en, for Xiliang work is the duty of children, dare not pray for reward."

The emperor nodded approvingly, "don't refuse the reward you deserve."

Xiao Linjin looks like he can't get rid of the dilemma. He seems to have thought for a long time before he said: "thanks to Lu Zhong, who is under Er Chen's charge, er Chen only hurt one arm. Otherwise, er Chen's life will be explained in southern Hunan. If the father really wants to reward Lu Zhong, he will reward Lu Zhong."

"Where is Lu Zhong?" Asked the emperor.

Xiao Linjin replied, "Lu Zhong is guarding outside the hall."

"Let him in, I'll see."

The emperor made a speech. After a while, a man came in from outside the hall.

The people who came in were dark, tall and powerful.

The fist is bigger than that of an ordinary adult. The meat on the back of the hand is very thick, but not fat. It's very strong just to watch.

Lu Zhong knelt down and kowtowed respectfully. "I've met the emperor, my Minister Lu Zhong."

"It's said that you saved the king of Jin at a critical time?" Asked the emperor.

"Yes." Lu Zhong should be respectful.

The emperor said, "the king of Jin asked me to give you all the rewards. What do you want?"

Lu Zhong raised his head and said, "I don't have anything I want. I have only one wish. I hope the emperor will succeed."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.

Lu Zhong's reaction seems to have been thought about for a long time.

Lu Zhong kowtowed respectfully to the emperor again. "I heard that his royal highness is good at martial arts, and there are few rivals in Xiliang. I think my kung fu is not bad. I want to compete with his royal highness. I hope the emperor will succeed."

Lu Zhong's request is not too much. There have always been sword dancing programs at banquets, and it is common for them to compete.

In particular, the competition between the two is more interesting than the boring singing and dancing.

In addition, this is a celebration banquet. When the emperor asked, he would not easily refute the face of the person who asked.

But in the end, the other person is the Lord, and the emperor will not accept it directly.

The emperor laughed twice and looked at Xiao Linmu: "he is fighting against you. Will you take it?"

Xiao Linmu answered: "good."

In a word, the competition will be finished.
