After retiring from the court, Qi Jinluo followed Zhennan King to the Zhennan Palace.
Looking at the box of treasures brought out of the palace carried by his servants, King Zhennan smiled helplessly: "Jin Luo, every time His Majesty rewards you, it ends up in Rong'er's private treasury. Where is she?" I need so many good things, why don’t I keep more for myself.”
Qi Jinluo pursed her lips slightly and smiled: "Those things are just belongings to me, and I don't need them, just give them to A Rong to make her happy."
Zhennan Wang shook his head and smiled lightly: "You are really more careful with Rong'er than I am, no wonder she only sticks to you to play with her among so many people."
Qi Jinluo curled his lips and didn't answer this sentence, and then he seemed to think of something, and the expression on his face gradually became serious: "By the way, Uncle Emperor, are you really going to the frontier this time?"
King Zhennan was brought up by Qi Jinnan when he was in court just now, and he became the focus of everyone's attention. Of course, King Zhennan did not advocate blindly seeking peace. If things go that way, we must still fight.
Taking the initiative to take over the task of leading troops to the frontier, King Zhennan will be leaving in three days, and the danger of going this time is unknown, so Qi Jinluo is naturally extremely worried.
"The barbarians want to cause trouble, how can I abandon the people of the country and ignore it." Since he assumed the post of general and commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Qi State, he is responsible for the country and the armor on his body.
Of course Qi Jinluo also understood: "It's just that Ah Rong is going to worry about you again, I hope these gifts can make her happier."
Zhennan Wang sighed: "Rong'er... Hey, I owe her a lot too." Whether it was the tragic death of her beloved general that caused her to lose her biological parents since she was a child, or the fact that she had no choice but to give up when she was growing up. If you don't go to the front line, you can't be a qualified father to grow up with her all the time.
Especially after the child knew his background and real situation, he never complained to him at all, which made King Zhennan even more guilty. Regarding Ling Rong's background and why he declared him a boy, Zhennan Wang never hid her from her when she knew something.
"But I'm sure she'll understand me."
While talking, the two had already arrived at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and both got off their horses. Qi Jinluo took the lead and said, "Uncle Emperor, I'll go find A Rong first, so that she can get mentally prepared, and then you can tell her that you are going to go to war." things."
Feeling that this is a good idea, Zhennan Wang nodded: "You go first, I also happen to have some things to deal with."
Ling Rongben was flipping through books in the room, when suddenly he heard a servant come running in and said, "Little prince, the fourth prince has come to visit you! And he brought a lot of treasures from the palace for you!"
He has seen a group of eunuchs carrying wooden boxes, and the boxes are big and heavy, and there is no need to guess what is inside, he knows that they must be good things. The library has added a lot of precious things.
"He's going down? Please come in, and remember to come over for tea and snacks."
"yes."
Not long after the boy left the room, Qi Jinluo stepped in: "Arong, did you sleep well last night, were you sleepy?"
Ling Rong glanced in the direction of the young man, the tails of his eyes were raised slightly, a pair of big and bright eyes instantly changed from pure to charming, coupled with Ling Rong's little face that was originally indistinguishable between male and female, at that moment Qi Jin Luo just felt as if he was caught by a hook, and he couldn't look away any longer.
His cousin is really too good-looking, no wonder not only those noble girls, but even when they went out to play in the street, some dudes who didn't have long eyes would molested them, trying to snatch the "civilian men" by force.
Of course, for those daring children from rich families, they had to be taught a lesson by him in the end. The four years of training with King Zhennan was not for nothing.
"Fortunately, it's just that it's hot and I slept a little late." In ancient times, if you wanted to cool off the heat, you could only rely on the simple and crude method of putting an ice basin, and it was impossible for ordinary people to use an ice basin. It is difficult to preserve the block, and the number is limited. Generally, only the nobles and the royal family can use it, and the number is still very small.
"If the palace is not enough, I'll have someone bring some from my palace." Qi Jinluo said immediately.
Ling Rong was not hypocritical, and he would take it from him unceremoniously if he needed it: "If you have enough, give me some."
Seeing something rare that made Ling Rong happy, Qi Jinluo was also very happy: "By the way, all the rewards my father gave me this time have been carried to your private treasury. If you are interested later, you can Go see if there's anything you like."
Ling Rong nodded to show he knew.
After a few chats, Qi Jinluo finally got to the point cautiously: "Arong, do you know that there was news from the front line this morning?"
Hearing the word "Frontline", Ling Rong immediately thought of his father: "Why, something happened to the frontline again, Daddy is going to the frontier?"
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from this person, Qi Jinluo let out a long sigh: "It's the barbarians who have made a move, and it took six years for them to almost recover from the last failure, so they plan to make trouble again. "
Ling Rong is actually very confident in Zhennan King's ability to lead troops and generals: "Since Daddy was able to beat them back to his own territory, I believe Daddy can certainly do it this time, but I still hope that there will be no It's a war, and everything will be fine."
"This time, it was the emperor's elder brother who offered to let the emperor's uncle go to the front line. He has always been at odds with me, and the emperor's uncle is close to me. I am worried about what he will do when he goes to the front line this time." Qi Jinluo said Out of my worries.
The royal family is the most ruthless, he believes that Qi Jinnan is the kind of person who can do anything for his own benefit.
He has already seen this clearly in the past few years, so he has no expectations at all.
Seeing that the eldest prince was mentioned, Ling Rong immediately became serious. The system told her that the other party's mission time was only five years, and now that four years have passed, his mission time is almost up, so this time he should have made a plan.
Seeing that Ling Rong really looked worried, Qi Jinluo put his hands on the other person's shoulders and patted him lightly to express his comfort: "If you are worried about Uncle Emperor, I will also ask Father Emperor to go together this time. There is also a follow-up."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can the prince go to the battlefield in person at this time? Wouldn't that give Qi Jinnan a chance?" Ling Rong laughed angrily at his thoughtless thought, "And what I want is not that you take risks too, What I want is that you and Daddy can be safe and sound, as long as we can be together forever."
Although he is not worried about his force value, after all, things like going to the battlefield are unpredictable, and anything can happen.
"Dad already agreed to come down, right?"
"Yes, the emperor's uncle has taken the initiative to ask for orders, and will lead the army to set off in three days."
Rubbing his swollen temples, Ling Rong said, "I know, I'm asking you to keep an eye on the Eldest Prince's movements in the near future."
Although the eldest prince has not established his own palace yet, they already know that Qi Jinnan has raised a large number of counselors in Prime Minister Zuo's mansion in the name of his grandfather, Prime Minister Zuo, to advise him. Of course, Qi Jinluo also has them, but they do it more secretly.
"Okay, I will keep an eye on their movements."
Three days later, King Zhennan went out to fight, and Ling Rong personally sent him out of the city.
"Daddy, this is the peace talisman I asked for in the temple yesterday. You can take it with you, so that I can rest assured." Looking at the man in armor, Ling Rong took out a folded yellow amulet from his sleeve. The talisman paper was solemnly delivered to King Zhennan.
Seeing the child's pale face, Zhennan Wang felt distressed even though he was ironing: "You child, hey, it rained so much yesterday, why do you have to go to the temple to do it? Father is worried."
The little boy was already so white that it glowed, but now there was a touch of sickness in the whiteness, which made people feel very distressed.
"Arong's daddy is fine, just take care of him in the house, daddy's safety is more important, daddy must keep this talisman paper and carry it with you." Ling Rong is a thousand reminders and ten thousand instructions.
The king of Zhennan was also very soft-hearted. He touched the boy's soft head and carefully received the talisman paper in his arms: "Okay, daddy knows, you can take good care of your illness in the capital, daddy will definitely come back soon .”
It's almost time, and the soldiers should set off. Before leaving, King Zhennan told Qi Jinluo who also came to see him off: "Jin Luo, Rong'er is going to ask you to take care of him for the time being. You have to let me see a girl when I come back." Healthy Ronger."
Qi Jinluo also felt sorry for the sick cousin beside him, and immediately made a promise: "Don't worry, uncle, I will take good care of Arong."
The King of Zhennan was reluctantly relieved, took one last look at the two, then took the rein to force the horse to turn around, and then ordered to all the soldiers who were ready: "Let's go!"
Watching the big troops go away, Ling Rong coughed violently, and Qi Jinluo immediately caught her and hugged her in his arms because of his precarious figure: "You, why did you make yourself like this? Uncle Huang probably will worry about you on the way."
Ling Rong just smiled, and then slightly parted his lips that had lost their rosiness before and said softly: "It's worth it."
It's certainly worth it to exchange my own serious illness and the system for a chance to keep Zhennan Wang safe.
Just like she was willing to exchange for that powerful pill to save him back then, it was all worth it.
It's just that this bad cold is really uncomfortable, Ling Rong only feels that he is weak at the moment, his eyelids are heavy, and his head is like a thousand catties.
Qi Jinluo couldn't stand the look of this man who was about to pass out and was still holding on, and didn't care about the waiters around him, so he hugged the man who was not heavy at all, and lightly weighed him in his arms. Jin Luo didn't even feel it weighed much.
"Disobedient little scoundrel, since the emperor uncle also said to let me take care of you, you can come to live with me in the palace recently, so that I can take care of you too, so that if you faint in the palace alone, it may be too late for someone to know .”
Ling Rong didn't have the strength to refute him anymore, so he could only let him carry her into the carriage.
And when he returned to his own Jingyang Palace, the eunuch was startled when he saw an extra person in His Royal Highness's arms.
This is their master... brought back a fourth concubine for them
