In the night, the carriage slowly drove out from the Donghua Gate, and the brightly lit royal street was still full of people, and among the bustling crowd, there were mostly scholars, literati and fair ladies, and the cries of shop men and stall vendors were heard one after another, which made the cool night seem warmer again.

As Zhong Qing's words recalling the days ago landed, the voices of the palace maid and the coachman sounded outside: "Princess, it's the carriage of King Xin." ”

"I'll go, I'll go down first." Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then motioned for the carriage to pull aside, and then knocked on the back carriage, signaling Mo Xiaobao, who was sitting behind the carriage, to prepare to leave.

"Wait a minute." Zhong Qing grabbed Ye Qing's hand, and in the somewhat dark carriage, Zhong Qing motioned for Ye Qing to move to the back of the carriage, and then heard the voice of King Xin, coming in from outside.

"The Emperor summoned me to enter the palace immediately, don't you know about this?" Shin Oh's voice was heard into the carriage through the curtain that Zhong Qing had lifted.

Zhong Qing's other hand holding Ye Qing trembled slightly at this time, looked at King Xin in the carriage that slowly stopped next to him through the car window, shook his head slightly and said, "I have always been with the Queen Mother, so I don't know." ”

Ye Qing in the carriage, while listening to the conversation between Zhong Qing and King Xin, looked at his hand held by Zhong Qing, he could clearly feel that Zhong Qing's palms were oozing fine sweat because of nervousness, but it was precisely because of this that Zhong Qing unconsciously grabbed his hand harder.

He shook Zhong Qing's hand hard with his backhand, and watched Zhong Qing slowly lower the curtain of the car, and after the sound of horses' hooves and the wheels of the car sounded outside, Zhong Qing finally let out a long breath and slowly withdrew his hand from Ye Qing's palm.

"Can someone you trust in the Imperial City Division lend me two?" In the dark carriage, Zhong Qing's tone was still a little nervous.

Ye Qing looked at those bright eyes quietly, he heard from beginning to end, he didn't hear Zhong Qing use the concubine body even once when talking to King Xin, but he always called himself in the first person, and King Xin outside seemed to be used to this, and when talking to Zhong Qing across the carriage, there was not even a trace of dissatisfaction.

Seeing that Ye Qing was just looking at him quietly, Zhong Qing smiled and explained: "The coachman is Fang Fei's brother, and he will go home in a few days to get married, and I can't trust the people in the house." ”

"Fang Fei?" Ye Qing's memory was a little vague.

"My maid." Zhong Qing pointed to the outside of the carriage and said, "Fang Fei has been by my side since she was a child, and her brother is also with me...... I came after I arrived at the palace, so after Fang Fei told me, I agreed. ”

Ye Qing nodded silently, glanced back at the back of the carriage, thought for a while and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll send someone to you in a few days." ”

"Thank you." Zhong Qing said lightly.

After getting off the horse stop on the royal street, the brim of the hat was lowered again, and after watching Zhong Qing's carriage slowly drive into the laneway, Ye Qing took Mo Xiaobao to walk home on the crowded royal street.

In the next day, Ye Qing never left the house again, and it was not until Xu Qing and Zhao Qi'er returned to Lin'an City with the others that Ye Qing was relieved.

The imperial court didn't have the slightest intention of welcoming Ye Qing's ministers back to Lin'an, so Ye Qing was happy to stay at home and be bored, instead of running out of the city to meet Xu Qing and the others, and then pretending to enter the city again.

The imperial court ignored Ye Qing's actions like this, although Bai Chun and Yan Chengcheng didn't care, You'er and Jin Se were a little angry.

After all, when the current right minister Wei Qi came back from the Jin Kingdom, the entire Lin'an City was empty of thousands of people, and the saints of the present day went out of the palace to greet him.

Now that my lord has made such a great contribution to the Jin Kingdom, he has come back silently, from the royal family to the courtiers, and he is not even willing to make a appearance.

In a day, You'er and Jinse didn't know how many times they ran to Ye Qing's study, and every time the two of them pouted and looked unhappy, as if they had been unjust by the court.

Bai Chun and Yan Chengcheng have also come over a few times, but the two daughters are much more generous than Jin Se and You'er, especially after marrying Ye Qing, the two daughters regard peace in their hearts as much more important than the rewards of the imperial court.

Therefore, seeing that the indifferent court treated her husband so unfairly, although the two girls had complaints in their hearts, they saw that Ye Qing didn't care, her face was relaxed, and she was interested in joking with the two of them, and the worry in her heart became a lot lighter.

Seeing Bai Chun walk into the study again with tea, Ye Qing smiled and put a secret letter on the table, and Bai Chun's question sounded in his ears: "Didn't the court tell you when you would go to court?" Allure just now with You'er, has been busy with your Dali Temple Shaoqing's court clothes, speaking of which this court clothes, are about to be forgotten by us, you haven't had time to wear it, you went to Jinguo, I don't know if it's suitable or not. ”

"I won't go to court until three days later, and the court will be sympathetic, so I'll take a few days off and rest first." Ye Qing said with a smile.

Bai Chun slowly sat down opposite Ye Qing, glanced at the envelope that had been packed by Ye Qing on the table, nodded silently, and then looked at Ye Qing quietly with gentleness in his eyes.

Since Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, Bai Chun has gone out once, but she has not seen her father Bai Bingzhong, so the matter between her husband and her father that weighs on her heart is like a big stone, which makes her always feel a little restless these days.

As if he understood Bai Chun's worries, Ye Qing put one hand on the table and stroked the envelope, and said lightly: "After the court, I will go with you to see Uncle Bai, although I haven't gone out in the past few days, my ears are not deaf, and I can hear what is being discussed outside." But after the court, everything will be solved. ”

"Thankless." Bai Chun frowned and said: "Today, I am still discussing with Allure, you have made such a great achievement, and the court is not even bothered to make a gesture, obviously because someone is secretly making trouble with this matter." ”

"Don't seek merit but seek no fault, as long as the court still knows the good and the bad, is it enough? What's more, now that I am the Shaoqing of Dali Temple from the fourth grade, if I am rewarded by the imperial court again for my contribution to the Jin Kingdom, I don't know if there will be any gossip to attack me at that time. Ye Qing explained to Bai Chun with relief.

But Bai Chun's brows are getting tighter and tighter, because Fan Niande's matter is now in a lot of noise, and there is more or less her father's shadow in it.

Since Bai Bingzhong questioned her last time, until now, he has avoided her for several days, obviously not wanting to have anything to do with Ye Qing before this matter is revealed.

Just when Ye Qing and Bai Chun were sitting in the study and comforting each other, Li Heng had already been picked up by the carriage of the Xinwang Mansion to the door of the palace.

Seeing that Zhu Xi and the two brothers Lu Zujian and Lu Zuqian took the initiative to greet him kindly, Li Heng also saluted the three of them with a smile on his face.

"The prince has been waiting for you in the hall for a long time, the young man is promising." With a smile on his face, Lu Zujian saluted Li Heng.

"Lord Siqing is polite, the last general is just a martial artist, how dare he be worthy of such praise from Lord Siqing." Li Heng said modestly.

"General Li is a little too modest." Lu Zujian suddenly lowered his voice, and then said: "In the past year or nearly two years, whether it is the Emperor Taishang, King Xin, or our courtiers, they have all seen what General Li has done in the Imperial City Division. To put it mildly, it is not much worse than Ye Shaoqing. ”

"How dare you, Commander Ye is the last general......." Li Heng's heart moved, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the voice of King Xin inside.

Hearing the enthusiastic voice of King Xin, Lu Zujian and the others hurriedly saluted Li Heng again, and then said goodbye to Li Heng with a kind smile on their faces.

As Li Heng walked into the main hall, he saw King Xin standing in the center of the hall looking at him with a smile, and with his steps, he looked up and down and exclaimed: "Sure enough, he is a talent, worthy of being another young talent of the Imperial City Division." ”

"The last general, Li Heng, has seen King Xin." Li Heng saluted.

After King Xin sat down, Li Heng slowly sat down on the chair next to him at the signal of King Xin, and looked at this magnificent hall from time to time.

"Let's get straight to the point, you and Ye Qing are in the same Shenjin Army, and then they are demoted together...... was transferred to the forbidden army, and he entered the Imperial City Division together. In the nearly two years that Ye Qing has been on mission, the Imperial City Division, under your leadership, is obviously better than before. King Xin watched the palace maid put the teacup in front of Li Heng, and motioned for the palace maid to leave before he said slowly.

"All of this is the work of Commander Ye, if it wasn't for Commander Ye'......." Li Heng said modestly to King Xin.

"Isn't it? This Ye Qing has been gone for nearly two years, could it be that he can still lead the Imperial City Division thousands of miles away? You don't have to be modest, although in addition to the commander, the Imperial City Division also has two deputy commanders, Lin Guangchao and Guan Li, but...... Now Lin Guangchao is going to be transferred to the Shenjin Army, the vacant position of deputy commander...... I wonder if General Li is interested? King Xin's eyes were deep, and Li Heng, who suddenly became a little cramped and uneasy, asked with a deep gaze.

"This ...... What does the king mean by this? The last general is in the Imperial City Division, and he thinks he is working for my Great Song Dynasty, and as for the promotion, the last general now feels ....... Li Heng looked at King Xin, who was full of confidence in his gestures, and his heart instantly beat wildly.

"You and Ye Qing were both dispatched to the Divine Power Army, both were forbidden troops, and they were both in the Imperial City Division, he went from a forbidden army to the commander of the Imperial City Division, and you ...... Don't you have some imbalance in your heart? After all, whether it is in the Forbidden Army or in the Imperial City Division, your achievements in the past two years are no less than him, even in terms of the time you have served in the Imperial City Division, you have been longer than him in the Imperial City Division, right? Shin Wang's eyes became gloomy.

"The last general does have more actual time in the Imperial City Division than Commander Ye, but Commander Ye's contribution to the Jin Kingdom is enough to prove that Commander Ye is ...... in the Imperial City Division."

"Otherwise, the imperial court sent him as an envoy to the Jin State, but he was sent in the name of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Although it is said that he has returned to Lin'an now, but in the nearly two years since he left the Imperial City Division, there are some things, I am afraid that Ye Qing does not know as much as you. When the time comes, I still have to rely on you, right? But General Lee didn't want to ....... Shin pointed his finger upwards to the air.

"But even if the last general is appreciated by King Xin, isn't it still under Commander Ye'......."

"General Li is reasonable, this king came to you this time, naturally he will not let you continue to be subservient, but also to see if you have such ambition and strength, the deputy commander of the king can easily help you, but the position of commander, I am afraid that General Li needs to think of some ways by himself."

"Believe in the king's teaching." Li Heng stood up, /./13_13705/
