Lord Li Ling was waiting for his answer, and he couldn't help being startled when he heard Ding Ning's answer.
Could it be that a place like Wutongluo is too humble, and this young man in the wine shop doesn't even know what kind of person he is
He frowned slightly, thinking about how to speak.
However, Ding Ning had already seen through what he was thinking, and said calmly: "Don't even think about introducing your identity to me. I know that as long as you say a word, you can easily fill my wine shop with gold, As long as you say a word, at least hundreds of practitioners can immediately cut off their heads and die for you."
"Then why... Since you refused so simply, there must be a reason."
Li Lingjun didn't show any angry expression, he just looked at Ding Ning with some curiosity, and said gently: "I thought you would at least discuss it with Miss Gongsun and listen to her opinions."
Ding Ning shook his head and said, "I said that I couldn't agree, so I don't need to listen to her opinion. As for the reason... you really want me to tell you the reason here?"
Li Lingjun's expression did not change, he said calmly and gently: "But it doesn't matter."
The onlookers in the nearby streets and alleys were also engrossed, wanting to hear what reason Ding Ning had to say.
Ding Ning did not hesitate, and said seriously: "Your father, the emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty, has been in power for thirty-two years. During these thirty-two years, the woman known to us outsiders can be regarded as his concubine. , he accepted a total of sixty-five concubines, an average of two more than one per year. With these concubines, he gave birth to seventeen princes and twenty-three princesses. So your father, these years have been really good busy."
When the spectators around heard what Ding Ning said, the first thought was that you dare to say it. Although the whole world knows that King Wulie of Chu is greedy for beauty, and everyone usually talks about it with great interest, wishing to replace it with his own body, but Now it seems that it is unreasonable to say that directly in front of someone's son.
Lord Li Ling also raised his brows slightly, and said in a low voice, "A gentleman doesn't care about trifles, and no one is perfect. Even if the father has many things he can't do, it still doesn't prevent him from becoming a great king."
His words made sense to those around him.
Although Emperor Chu is well known for being lustful, he is also a powerful practitioner and a powerful ruler. During the thirty-two years he was in power, the Great Chu Dynasty conquered the north and south, and never suffered any serious losses. , Now the Great Chu Dynasty is in full swing, and the number of famous practitioners is much more than that of the Great Qin Dynasty. Even the daily things used by the Great Chu Dynasty are more exquisite than those of other dynasties. Even some clothes and decorations are the objects of imitation by other dynasties.
It's just that Ding Ning didn't argue with him at all.
He just looked at Mr. Li Ling, and continued calmly: "I heard that every concubine that your father favors is beautiful in the world, and each has its own characteristics. Some are proficient in rhythm, and some are good at dancing. Some are exceptionally understanding, and some are even good at cooking delicious food. It's just that among so many concubines, his favorite is Concubine Zhao Xiang from the Zhao Dynasty."
Hearing the words "Zhao Xiangfei", Li Lingjun's eyes were slightly cold, but his face was still calm and gentle.
He just kept an elegant silence.
"What the hell is he going to say?"
The spectators in the surrounding streets and alleys were even more curious.
Concubine Zhao Xiang is also a topic that Qin people often talk about. This legendary woman was born in a family of declining nobles in the Zhao Dynasty. It is said that she was born with a charming bone. Proficient in some secret techniques in the room, even though the Emperor Chu is lustful, he has been fascinated by her these years. Almost half of the major affairs in the court are decided by her. It can be said that she is the number one dignitary in the Great Chu Dynasty besides the Emperor Chu.
In the Great Chu Dynasty, the vast majority of people feared and hated Concubine Zhao Xiangfei, and secretly referred to them as "Concubine Zhao Yao".
That is to say, in Changling, if an ordinary street boy dared to directly talk about her name, if it were in Chu, if an ordinary street boy dared to talk about her openly, he might have sunk in a certain river the next day.
"Although your father has many children under his knees, he has never had any children with his favorite concubine. I don't know if your father is not satisfied with all the princes now, or he wants to wait for her Your son appeared, so your Great Chu Dynasty has not canonized a crown prince until now." Ding Ning did not show any fear, but continued to speak calmly.
"Mr. Liling, you have a very good reputation in Changling these years. I think you people in Dachu are not blind, and you will not fail to see your talent."
"If you come back to him now, he shouldn't hate you as much as before."
"And if you appeared in his line of sight with a woman who surprised him, the result would be very different."
"Judging from your father's temperament in the past, he may not care about the relationship between that woman and you at all, but he may feel a little guilty towards you for taking away your concubine."
"Concubine Zhao Xiang has no children. If your father decides someone else to be the crown prince, if someone loses power in the future, no one in her position will probably want that day to come."
"She has no children, and you have no mother now, and you are an authentic prince, so you and her are a perfect match."
"If she is willing to speak for you, and you are not so annoying in the eyes of your father, then everything may change."
"You are very likely to become the prince of the Great Chu Dynasty, and eventually become an emperor as great as your father. I don't know if there is any prince he doesn't want to see, he will come to our Changling to take your place."
The autumn wind is still there, but every turret in the whole street seems to suddenly become very cold.
Most of the onlookers were shabby householders with little knowledge, but Ding Ning's narration was so organized and so clear that even they could hear it clearly.
It's just that such a big event, can it really be said openly on the street like this
Ding Ning... This is a little too bold.
It also seems to be too disregarding Li Lingjun's feelings.
But after feeling startled, these spectators couldn't help being proud and proud again.
No matter how good Li Lingjun is, no matter how powerful he is, he is only from Chu.
Why do the people of Qin care about the feelings of the people of Chu
Ding Ning's performance is the performance of a real Qin person.
…
There was still no anger or shock on Li Lingjun's face, but his brows were deeply wrinkled.
He slowly raised his head, looked at Ding Ning, and said seriously: "If everything is according to what you said, if I really have the possibility to become the king of the Great Chu Dynasty, then should you consider my request more?"
"Become one of your father's concubines?"
Hearing such words, Ding Ning's face began to cast a layer of frost.
The arrival of Li Lingjun and Chen Moli disrupted his plan. He was not very happy at all, but his patience all along let him know that changing and redesigning calmly is far more important than unnecessary anger .
Now, he is truly unhappy.
"In your opinion, that is still a rare encounter? We should thank you for your support and reward. In the future, we will finally have the possibility of rich clothes and fine food? Are we really as humble as you imagined?"
He looked at Li Lingjun coldly, and said slowly and clearly: "We are staying well in Changling now, do you think I will let my aunt follow you, for such a possibility, to do such a thing ?”
Li Lingjun's face was still calm, but the bottom of his eyes burned, and he said peacefully: "It's not only a rare chance for one person to seek a country, but you don't care about it, but others may." I feel that this is a meaningful thing, and it is better than making wine here and finally marrying a businessman."
"You are insulting my aunt."
Ding Ning laughed. He looked at Mr. Li Ling, and said very seriously: "You see, I am already like this... My aunt is more cold than me. Of course, it is even more impossible for her to like things that I don't like. "
What he said was completely true.
The eldest grandson Qianxue is indeed more arrogant and lonely than most people imagined.
Li Lingjun's entire pupils seemed to be on fire, but he still did not lose his composure.
"In that case, it's really disturbing."
He bowed slightly, saluted earnestly, then turned around gracefully, and walked towards his carriage.
"Some opportunities are fleeting, and it is impossible to come back in a lifetime, but if you don't seize them, when you die, you may sigh that your life is not exciting enough."
Mr. Li Ling has a gentleman's demeanor, but Chen Moli finally couldn't calm down. He clenched his sword hilt tightly, his knuckles turned white from the force, and when he turned to leave, he sighed softly as if talking to himself said this sentence.
"Is my life not exciting enough?"
"I hope it can be more ordinary, not too exciting."
Hearing what he said to himself, Ding Ning smiled unspeakably, and said softly in his heart.
…
When the curtain of the car was drawn down, blocking off the outside world, Li Lingjun's face became dark and indifferent.
He can be sure that Ding Ning is definitely a real genius.
Just relying on some rumors in the market, this young boy from the wine shop actually has such a clear and terrifying judgment, and even has a clearer view of the general situation of the distant Great Chu Dynasty than he does.
However, if genius cannot be used by him, it is extremely disgusting.
Moreover, a genius who cannot be used by him is very likely to be an enemy in the future.
The carriage has already begun to move.
The wheels ran over the stone road, and the carriage was slightly bumped.
He closed his eyes, and his indifferent face became even more stern.
The conversation just now awakened him to many things, and made him realize once again how urgent this matter is.
Because Ding Ning didn't know but he knew that his father, the powerful and beauty-hungry emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty, was beginning to deteriorate in health.
The mountains and rivers are far away, and the road home is so difficult and long.
However, no matter how far the road was, it could not extinguish the flame in his heart.
