MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 68 , my son is not good at this

Chapter 68: My son doesn’t like this.

When Li Ling arrived at the Qinzheng Hall of Emperor Ming, Zhang Dequan, the steward of the inner palace standing at the door, came forward with a smile: "General Li, your Majesty has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

Li Ling nodded, stepped into the Qinzheng Hall, bowed down and saluted Emperor Ming respectfully.

  Emperor Ming was only forty and in his prime. When he saw his nephew come in, he got up from the dragon chair, walked to him, and helped his nephew up personally: "Get up quickly. We are kings and ministers in public, but uncles and nephews in private." He pointed to a chair in the imperial study room: "Come on. ,sit down."

Li Ling stood up but did not sit down. He said in fear: "I dare not overstep my bounds."

Emperor Ming was very happy when he looked at the tall and majestic nephew in front of him. Although this nephew was from the Li family, his appearance was that of the Zhao family.

The charm between his brows is even more similar to his than that of his own sons.

 He was very fond of his eldest sister’s son.

Emperor Ming Longyan said happily: "I never imagined that you could train such a mighty teacher for me in just two years after joining the Patrol Department."

Li Ling raised his hands modestly and said, "Your Majesty is so complimentary. I dare not take the credit."

Emperor Ming looked at his nephew with a smile, waved his hand and said generously: "Tell me, I will grant you any reward you want."

Li Ling replied respectfully: "I only ask that your majesty grant me a son, a royal title."

After hearing what Li Ling said, Emperor Ming was stunned for a moment. After he realized what he was saying, he laughed out loud. He pointed at Li Ling with his hand and said, "You!"

 Hearing such a request from him suddenly, Emperor Ming didn't even know what to say.

 He walked up to Li Ling again, patted him on the shoulder, and said jokingly: "It will be different after you get married, ha."

 “He is a man who loves his wife.”

Li Ling stood upright in front of Emperor Ming, his face still solemn, but his cheeks were slightly red.

It was the first time that Emperor Ming saw his nephew's shy appearance. He knew that Li Ling was not a person who liked to laugh, so Emperor Ming stopped teasing him and said cheerfully: "This is not a big deal. Since you asked for it, I will make it."

Li Lingfu knelt down again and solemnly said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Emperor Ming helped him up and sighed softly: "I originally planned to take advantage of this limelight to give you a first-class meeting. Now that the commander of the imperial army, Chen Jing, is getting older, I still prefer you for this position."

The Forbidden Army is responsible for guarding the inner palace, which is of great importance.

Li Ling hurriedly replied: "I am still young and don't dare to think too much."

Emperor Ming waved his sleeves and said, "That's all. You are indeed still young. If you work hard and make progress, you will have many opportunities in the future."

After saying that, he looked at his nephew and said, "I have nothing to do here. You can go back."

Just when Li Ling was about to bow and retire, Emperor Ming looked at his nephew and couldn't help but joked: "Since I asked for a favor for my wife, why don't you go back and tell me to take credit?"

Li Ling's cheeks turned red again. He hurriedly bowed and saluted, and walked out in a panic.

Li Ling left Qinzheng Hall and passed by Chaoyang Hall when he happened to meet Princess Fuxi coming out of it.

After Fu Xi got married, the late emperor ordered that the Zhaoyang Hall where she had been living in the palace should be kept as it was, only for her to live in when she returned to the palace. This tradition was still preserved until the time of her younger brother Emperor Ming, so after returning from watching the military parade, the eldest princess returned to her Chaoyang Palace first.

Seeing her son, the eldest princess got out of the chariot and asked, "Have you gone to see the saint?"

Li Ling replied: "My son has just come out of the imperial study." The eldest princess said, "Go back first, I am sure I will be waiting for you at home."

Speaking of home, Li Ling remembered what his father told him on the city tower. He said quietly: "When I come here, my father told me to look at you."

Hearing her son mention her husband, the eldest princess's face turned cold again, and she said calmly: "You should go back first. If you are free another day, you can bring Shu'er and Jin'er to my house." After that, she Got on the chariot and walked away slowly,

When they arrived at Qinzheng Hall, the eldest princess got off the chariot and went into the imperial study as usual without waiting for anyone to tell her. Seeing that it was the eldest sister, Emperor Ming quickly got up and said with a smile: "I thought about going to your place later." It’s up to you.”

The eldest princess smiled and replied: "I haven't seen you for a while."

The two siblings sat down and exchanged greetings. Emperor Ming said, "The eldest sister came a step late, and brother Ling'er just left here."

The princess said: "I met him when I came here."

Emperor Ming smiled and said: "Brother Ling is indeed a promising man, he actually led me, the city patrol officer, so well.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "My brother-in-law has retired, and Zhou Yi is getting old. Now, although Brother Ling is young, he can take charge of his own business. Haha, there are so many talented people in Daqi, why should I worry about this country?"

Hearing his brother mention his husband, Fu Xi's eyes darkened and he stopped talking.

When Emperor Ming saw his sister like this, he realized that he had made a mistake. He quickly made up for it and said, "Brother Ling has made a great contribution this time. Does my sister know what he asked me for just now?"

The eldest princess turned her head and asked, "What did he ask for?"



Hearing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but hide her face and laugh: "This child does know how to care for others."

Emperor Ming took a sip of tea and asked, "Is Brother Ling marrying the daughter of the Shen family?"

The eldest princess replied: "The eldest daughter of Shen De'an, the supervisor of Yushitai."

Emperor Ming said: "The family status is indeed low."

 Comparing a fourth-grade official with the famous Zhenguo government, his family status is naturally inferior to eight poles. The difference is not even a star.

The eldest princess didn't care about this. She said: "What does it matter if you are from a poor family? No matter how prominent a family is, the wealth and glory are not given by our Zhao family."

 In terms of the pride of being born into an imperial family, Emperor Ming could not compare with his elder sister since he was a child. This is also related to the growth experience of the two. The elder sister was born at the right time and has always been held by their parents like the apple of their eyes. The late emperor was even more responsive to her requests. He simply asked for stars but not the moon. Throughout the palace, his eldest sister walked sideways.

 Later, his mother passed away, but his sister was already sensible, and he was not yet three years old. Although the late emperor treated him well, his childhood was not as smooth as his sister's in an environment surrounded by wolves.

Emperor Ming had no mother to protect him since he was a child. He had always been protected by his sister. The two siblings had always been close. During the casual chat, Emperor Ming mentioned: "Brother Ling is so promising. I always feel that this reward is a little small. It is not as good as mine." I ordered the inner palace to send some jewelry and antiques, etc., he has been married for almost a year, and now that he has tasted the joy of life, I simply ordered them to choose a few palace concubines to send over."

When the eldest princess heard this, her phoenix eyes were slightly angry: "My son has just asked for a royal title for his wife, and you want to send the woman over?"

Emperor Ming laughed loudly: "How can the eldest sister be so petty? Not to mention Ling Geer's status, even an ordinary people's family, as long as they are a little rich, they still need to buy two concubines. It doesn't matter if there are two more women around Ling Geer. What."

The eldest princess rolled her eyes at her younger brother and replied with a sneer: "Please save yourself, my son is not good at this."
