Female General And Eldest Princess

Halfway through the palace banquet, all the guests were happy, and all the officials enjoyed themselves happily, but Lin Wanyue was restless.

Li Zhao called Lai Shunxi and gave some instructions in his ear, and the latter had a clear expression on his face.

Shunxi straightened up, waved the dust whisk, the palace music stopped, and the singing and dancing girls dispersed.

The military officers who had been talking loudly also lowered their voices and looked towards the high position.

Li Zhao pondered for a moment, and said some words of concern for the emperor, and the courtiers below looked grateful and excited.

Li Zhao nodded in satisfaction, glanced at Li Xian, and changed the topic: "All the lovers have heard about what happened recently. Li Zhong has misbehaved and is not worthy of marrying the most honorable princess of my country. It's also my fault that the widow didn't investigate, which almost delayed Xian'er's life."

"Father..." Li Xian wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Zhao raising his hand.

Li Zhao smiled at his beloved daughter, showing a loving father's look on his face, and continued: "The widow used to selfishly want to stay with Xian'er for a few more years to accompany the widow; Li Zhong is unbearable, but the marriage date cannot be delayed. Today, on the occasion of this palace banquet, the ministers of the humerus from my country gathered together, and the widow announced that one of the school-age children from each prefecture will be selected to be Xian'er's consort."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

There are several ministers in the hall with bright faces, and they happen to have unmarried children of the right age in their house.

Li Zhao nodded.

Looking at Lin Feixing again, he said, "Lin Feixing comes out."

"The last general is here!" Lin Wanyue gave Li Xian a guilty look when she got up, came to the red carpet, and saluted Li Zhao neatly.

"Lin Feixing, do you know that Uncle Li Muguo recommended you many times in the memorial?"

Lin Wanyue hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "The commander-in-chief shows love, and the general will not be very panicked."

"Hey, you don't have to be too modest. Uncle Guo's personality is clear to everyone; he can look at you favorably because of your superiority."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I still remember that two years ago, you escorted the eldest princess back to the palace. At that time, you were just a small battalion commander. You came from a commoner background and had no household. I remember correctly, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, when the widow saw that you lacked etiquette, you were still quite dignified. You were a good young man. They intended to appoint you as the captain of the capital, in charge of the defense of the capital, dispatching vehicles and horses; you refused to accept it, right?"

"Yes."

Li Zhao deliberately brought up this matter that only a few royal family members knew about, and it really caught the attention of the ministers present.

Li Zhao continued to ask: "The widow asked you, how do you answer today?"

The fifth-rank official of Jingdu Lieutenant, this rank is a low-ranking position in the capital, but Jingdu Lieutenant is very special. Although the rank is not high, he has great power, and he is an existence that many first-rank officials have to win over.

So, everyone stared at Lin Feixing, quietly waiting for the answer; at this moment, the thoughts of the people in the field were roughly divided into two factions.

In the eyes of civil servants: the northern border is desolate and dangerous. Even though Lin Feixing is appreciated by Li Mu, at his age and background, it is basically hopeless to take charge of the northern border. It is the safest and quickest way to choose to be a Beijing official and seek refuge with a good backer and slowly move up.

In the eyes of the military officers: Lin Feixing has risen from the army in recent years. Although he is young, it will be a matter of time if he stays in the northern border to pay homage to the military. The real man is the one who climbs out of it.

The two vassal kings showed joy, wishing that Lin Feixing would agree immediately, two years ago they would have jumped to object; now and then, if Lin Feixing chooses Captain Jingdu now, they would laugh out loud in their dreams!Lin Feixing didn't seek refuge in any government. Li Mu was in his dying years. Even if Lin Feixing had no foundation, he was always a threat in the northern border. If he chose to enter the capital and Li Mu died, they could openly compete for the northern border.

Lin Wanyue was only silent for a moment, and the thoughts of the people in the field were already racing. Under everyone's gaze, Lin Wanyue bowed and replied firmly: "Return to Your Majesty, the last general's answer is still the same."

On both sides of the main hall, the civil servants on the left were mostly puzzled, while the military officers on the right were appreciative.

Yong Wang Li Ting was the first one who couldn't sit still, stood up from behind the case, cupped his hands towards the high-ranking Li Zhao and said, "General Lin, you have to think clearly, Captain Jingdu is a very important position, and the emperor thinks so highly of him." You, why did you refuse several times?"

Chu Wang Li Xuan also echoed: "Father, my son thinks that the position of Jingdu Lieutenant is suitable for General Lin. Now that the court is employing people, General Lin is young and promising, and he is really the best candidate for the position of Jingdu Lieutenant. Please make an order, father and emperor."

Li Huan, who was sitting next to Lin Wanyue, looked at the two imperial brothers, then raised his eyes to look at Li Xian on the opposite side, and lowered his eyes.

And Li Xian's face was indifferent, quietly watching Lin Feixing kneeling on the red carpet.

Xiang Jingyi witnessed the whole process, he grinned, he was very contemptuous of the behavior of the two princes in his heart, raised the wine bottle in front of him, raised his head, and drank it all in one gulp: Lin Feixing's answer Xiang Jingyi was not surprised at all, what a waste! Lieutenant Jingdu, two years ago, Lin Feixing, who was no more than a commoner, even looked down on the official position, and still wants today's Lin Feixing to agree?What an idiot!

"Father, my son would like to hear what General Lin has to say." Everyone followed the prestige and found that it was Qi Wang Li Zhen who spoke.

"Lin Feixing, then you can tell me." Li Zhao looked around and said in his heart: Not from Chu Palace, nor from Yong Palace... King Qi?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the final general's answer is the same as two years ago: do not forget the original intention, the final general does not want to live in comfort, does not envy glory and wealth; I only wish to use this despicable body to resist the Huns, protect the people in the north The people in the realm do not follow the mistakes of the flying stars when they were young. Moreover, Commander Li Mu has the kindness of knowing and reinventing the general, and the general has nothing to repay, but he can only pass on the ambition of the commander."

Lin Wanyue's words were not loud, but her words were firm; some civil servants who still had a conscience seemed to realize something, and the military officers all showed excitement. I didn't expect that Lin Feixing would have such a great ambition at such a young age. ambition!

These people's impression of Lin Feixing was hazy at first, but now it became clear.

Li Zhao's goal has been achieved, even if he intends to fulfill it, he can't let outsiders feel that he married his eldest daughter to an unknown person.

"Okay! It's a good sentence not to forget the original intention, Lin Feixing, you really did not disappoint the widow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

King Yong of Chu saw Li Zhao like this, so he had to sit down resentfully, looking at Lin Feixing with increasingly unfriendly eyes.

On the contrary, King Qi acted like he had nothing to do with himself, sitting in the first place, drinking and drinking by himself.

"The widow once said two years ago that if you obeyed the bold words of the past, the widow will still be rewarded. Although you are only a small general now, it is rare at your age, and the widow has also heard about your many achievements. , relying on only four people to defeat the Tuktu tribe, led the army to build Xinyang Pass, reclaim mountains and fields, and benefit the people during the period when the uncle was in charge of the country; he even wiped out the invading Huns. ;The words of the Son of Heaven, promises are guaranteed! Now it is time for the widows to fulfill their promises..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Wanyue spread her sleeves flat on the ground, and pressed her forehead to the ground.

At this moment, her heart was pounding and she wanted to turn her head to look at Li Xian again, but she restrained herself. Lin Wanyue saw hope from Li Zhao's words, and the emperor promised her everything; this is her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity !

Xiang Jingyi also heard some signs, and straightened up, looking ready to go.

"The widow's franchise, all the third-rank titles in Beijing, you can choose."

Once he said this, there were whispers in the field, which soon subsided due to Li Zhao's sitting in charge.

But everyone's eyes were red, and they looked at Lin Feixing with envy and jealousy, and he chose the third-rank title?Such a monstrous favor can be recorded in the history of words!

Just when everyone thought that Lin Feixing was about to open his mouth like a lion, Lin Feixing straightened up from the ground, raised his head slightly and looked directly at the sky for the first time.

"The last general dares to dare, Your Majesty, is it true that you are not joking?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience froze: Is this Lin Feixing going to die?

There were three people who had different ideas. Xiang Jingyi held back his laughter and sighed secretly that the hero was sad and beautiful. Lin Feixing's ingenuity was really used in this palace banquet to the fullest.

Li Zhao was angry about it, and was annoyed in his heart: You little bastard, the widow is trying to build up momentum for you, and even wants to marry your most beloved daughter to you, yet you actually lead the widow's army!

As for Li Xian, she looked at Lin Feixing who was kneeling on the ground, at his somewhat thin but upright kneeling figure, at his slightly raised stubborn head, at the serious and firm expression on his face.

A strange feeling surged up in my heart. This feeling is not unfamiliar. It had faintly appeared several times when I was with Lin Feixing before, but because Li Xian herself didn't know what this feeling was, she suppressed it forcefully. , but this time, this feeling was unprecedentedly clear and powerful.

Li Xian couldn't restrain it, so it spread in her heart in an instant.

Xiaoci's words suddenly echoed in my ears: "Your Highness, this Lin Feixing is very special in your heart."

Suddenly heat rose from Li Xian's face, making that suet-like face even more beautiful.

"It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. You have no jokes. If you have any request, just ask it, and the widow will agree."

Lin Wanyue laughed, this is what she was waiting for!

"Qizou Your Majesty, the general will not seek any official position!"

"Oh? Then what do you want to ask the widow to reward you?"

"The last general, Lin Feixing, begs to marry His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

"boom……"

The hall became lively all of a sudden, and it didn't work now that Li Zhao was sitting in charge; the people in the front row who could hear clearly looked at Lin Feixing with the expression of seeing a ghost, while the people in the back thought they heard it wrong, so they hurriedly picked asked the colleagues beside him.

Yong Wang Li Teng stood up: "Bold! Lin Feixing, you are so brave, you dare to make such a request!"

And Li Xuan, King of Chu, couldn't sit still anymore. This matter must never happen. If Lin Feixing seeks refuge in the East Palace, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Lin Feixing, the eldest princess is a nobleman of the Tian family, you are a mere general, and you are born in commoner clothes, why should you marry this king's imperial sister?"

King Qi propped his chin, looked at the scene with great interest, and said softly: "This king also wants to know what General Lin will match the eldest princess with?"

Li Zhao glanced over: he is not from Prince Qi's mansion either, very good.

Li Huan, who had never spoken a word, stood up from his seat, cupped his hands towards Li Zhao, and said loudly, "Father, this matter is related to the life of Huang Jie, why don't you ask Huang Jie what she means."

As soon as these words came out, all eyes were on Li Xian.

Including the high-ranking Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu, they all had a look on their faces waiting for Li Xian's answer.

Concubine De looked at her son, and sighed helplessly. Li Huan's question seemed to be unintentional, and the younger brother wanted to care about the eldest sister, but it was actually the most vicious!If Li Xian agrees, it will inevitably make people suspect that it is a private affair. Besides, Li Xian has already been engaged. If Li Xian refuses, His Majesty loves the eldest princess and will definitely hesitate. But you are not kidding, if Li Zhao wants to go back on his word, he can only punish Lin Feixing to calm down...

Concubine De looked at her son from a distance, her heart was extremely complicated, her son was hiding too deeply, it made her heartbroken!But her son was wrong, very wrong, he chose the wrong opponent.

Concubine De resignedly closed her eyes, flashed in her mind the face of the past, that person who was so intelligent that he was taken away by heaven long ago.

Li Xian got up slowly, and looked at Li Huan under the gaze of everyone.

Li Xian smiled lightly, the two dimples were adorable, and Li Huan also smiled with sincerity.

"Thank you Brother Huan for thinking about my sister, but marriage has always been the order of the parents, and the matchmaker's words, everything is in the hands of the father; besides, there is no joke, how can a princess embarrass the father because of her own selfishness What about the land? Are you right, Brother Huan?"

Li Xian looked at Li Huan and smiled, and sat down again. The people present all had expressions of enlightenment, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Li Xian. As for Li Huan, most people still thought that he was young. A little too much, a little thoughtless; but I didn't think deeply about it.

Li Zhao, on the other hand, looked at his daughter with loving eyes, and felt warm in his heart; he sighed that a daughter who was born on the same day was more noble, knowledgeable and reasonable.

"Your Majesty! The general has something to say."

Everyone's eyes were drawn back by Lin Wanyue again.

"speak."

"Just now, the prince asked the general what he would like to match His Royal Highness the eldest princess; the general thought that the dignity of the eldest princess was absolutely not worthy of the general, not only the general was not worthy, but looking at the entire Li country, no one could be worthy of it." superior!"

After a short period of silence, the hall came alive again. Li Zhao slapped the big case in front of him heavily, and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha... good! You are right, it is rare for you to have this awareness, since that is the case, Mr. Without joking, the widow will grant your request!"

Xiang Jingyi looked at Lin Feixing, smiled wryly and said to himself: This kid is really not simple, he doesn't need my help at all!

All the officials also congratulated with interest: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Lin Wanyue exhaled heavily, turned her head with throbbing heart, and met Li Xian's smiling eyes.

Lin Wanyue also smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.
