Zhou Leping drank a mouthful of wine, then took out a small jar of the Eighteen Immortals, placing the jar down and took a deep breath.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Deng was scared out of his wits. He thought that she was going to roar, and that his hands were already prepared. As long as she dared to open her mouth, he would smack his own.
She took a deep breath and finally put her hand to her mouth, whispering in his ear, "This is all over again, I won't tell anyone. You called me senior sister before, I'll cover you."
Zhao Deng pushed her away, "Isn't this your tolerance for alcohol? What nonsense are you talking about? "
"I'm not drunk."
"Fine, fine, fine. You're not drunk. Oh right, I see that you came out of the palace. What are you doing in the palace?"
"Look at Le An."
"Two days later, Qiu Shou, lend me one of your military horses."
"Qiu Shou?" She obviously didn't know about this, so she asked with a blank look on her face, "Why is there still Qiu Shou?"
"Hunting. Twice a year. The Summer Hunt will be held once. You didn't make it in time for it, and it just so happens that this time, Autumn Hunt is coming. Sigh, let me borrow one later for fun."
"These are all small matters. I'll take you to the camp at Peach Blossom Col later."
Zhao Deng could no longer hold it in, "Can you not use such a sympathetic tone to speak to me?"
Qiu Shou was a good event to celebrate, but before that, there were still some matters to settle in the imperial court. When the Emperor came to the imperial court, he gave the order for the selection of the soldiers using the gold tongue and jade mouth, Zhou Leping's name and name list were reasonable and feasible, there was no need to discuss further, we will go according to the order on Zhou Leping's list.
Of course, Lin Jing didn't want to, and after talking about a lot of excuses, many people stood out to agree with Lin Jing.
Zhou Leping had a belly full of retorts to say to Lin Jing, but before he could even open his mouth, the emperor spoke first, "No one knows the situation at the border better than Zhou Leping. If the other few nations start attacking, would it be possible for the three nation leaders to personally attack and kill the enemy?"
The emperor had always addressed Lin Jing as his beloved daughter, but now that he had suddenly changed his address, even Lin Jing's heart had abruptly quivered when he heard it.
Originally, Lin Jing thought that this would be a success, but he did not expect the emperor to turn hostile the moment he got off the bed.
Letting a civil servant kill an enemy, what was the difference between this and death itself?
After a moment of silence, the Emperor stood up and said, "The date for Autumn Hunt is approaching. If there's nothing else, all of you will go and prepare. Dismissed."
It looks like the power of wind by the side of the pillow was indeed strong, Zhou Lean's words were actually useful in the ears of the emperor.
Lin Jing angrily flung his sleeves, and stopped when he passed by her, clenching his teeth and smiling as he said, "General's really good at scheming."
Calculations? What did she plan?
"There are three thousand beauties in the harem, there has never been a lack of beauties in the palace. General, let's guess, how long will the Worthy Lady Zhou be favored for?"
Lin Jing probably felt that she was the one behind Zhou Lean entering the palace to participate in the selection, which was why she said that she had a good plan.
"The country leader glared at me as if I had done something wrong. I didn't say anything just now. Besides, didn't the country leader also send his own niece to the palace?" I don't know if the Worthy Lady Zhou is favoured or not, but Lin Chang Zai definitely does not suit the emperor's wishes, if not why would he still have the face to be favored by the Emperor? "
Lin Jing was so angry that his nose was crooked and his eyes were slanted. Zhou Leping felt at ease, instantly feeling happy, "The Emperor has also heard of the matter regarding Sky Sovereign. I still have to go back and prepare for the Autumn Shou.
She held her head high and strode out of the main hall, stretching her back. Before she could finish yawning, He Shibi suddenly turned around and scared her back, "General."
"Why are you walking like a ghost?"
"The Emperor invites the general over."
"Your majesty?" Didn't I just see him a moment ago? "Why is the Emperor looking for me?"
He Shibi turned to welcome her from the side and entered into the corridor, "You'll know once the general goes."
Zhou Leping didn't know why, but he suddenly had a bad premonition. It was unavoidable that he was nervous on the road, but after seeing Zhao Shiqian, his heart immediately relaxed.
His speed was quite fast. As soon as he came out of the main hall, he changed into casual clothes and stood there with his hands behind his back. His posture was upright and he looked absent-minded, as if he was the same young man from a few years ago.
"This subject greets Your Majesty."
He Shibi tactfully retreated, then turned over and said, "No need for formalities."
"Your majesty has summoned an official. Is there anything you need from me?"
Zhao Shiqian sat down, a tea set was placed on the table in the octagonal pavilion, he rolled up his sleeves and brewed some tea, then looked at the seat opposite him and indicated to her, "There are only two people here, why are you being so reserved? Sit! "
"Your Majesty, we'll see each other again. Your subject should just stand there. If Your Majesty has anything to say, please feel free to tell me. Your subject will definitely go through fire and water .."
Zhao Shiqian was elated, "Le An married to us and became our woman. You are Le An's elder sister, and according to the etiquette of the people, we should call you .. "Elder sister."
Zhou Leping retreated in fear, "This subject does not dare!"
If that was the case, more than half of the people in the court were the old brothers of the emperor. The emperor couldn't possibly call for his father before he went to court, right?
The only one who could afford to shoulder the burden of the emperor's father was the emperor's legitimate wife, the empress's father!
"Zi Xi, why are you so far away from us?" He make a cup of tea himself
He gave it to her, "This Emperor gave you a seat. This is an order!"
When she heard this name, her legs went weak and she honestly said, "Yes!" She went over and sat down.
"You came to the palace yesterday?"
"Yes, this subject is here to take a look at the fun .." Look at Worthy Lady Zhou. " She took a sip from her glass.
The cup that was only the size of her palm was gone after she took a sip. She could neither taste nor quench her thirst, but this was the tea ceremony. She didn't dare to refill it after drinking it and just held it in her hand.
"Are you afraid that Zhen will treat her badly and not be good to her?"
"This subject doesn't dare, it's just that Le An has the temperament of a child. This subject fears that she might have a temper with the Emperor."
"She's fine." Zhao Shiqian looked into her eyes and said, "We know when to stop and when to advance. We like her very much."
Zhou Leping's beating heart suddenly stopped, and she heaved a sigh of relief. "As long as Your Majesty likes it."
"What did you say to Le An yesterday?"
Her heart, which had just recovered from its beating, froze again. The nervous cup was about to be crushed by her hands, "This subject .." It's just a chat about family matters, nothing else. "
Zhao Shiqian wanted to take the cup out from her hand, but the moment he touched her hand, as if he had been stabbed, Zhou Leping suddenly let go and the cup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
"This official deserves to die!" She stood up at once, and when she did, she regretted her reaction.
Zhao Shiqian lowered his eyes and sat upright, "It's just a cup." He poured another cup of tea and passed it to her, "Zi Xi, do you think I'm sick?"
