Love Like the Galaxy

Shao Shang was worried about Ling Budo, and when he heard the news at this time, he was on pins and needles. She was so nervous that she stuttered: "Niangniang, me, me... that, can I..." She said while looking out the door.

The queen is not as fiery as Shaoshang, because she feels strange in her heart. The emperor loved Ling Budo more than his own son, not only because he did not need to be involved in inheriting the imperial power and shifting power, but also because it brought some guilt and pity for the Huo family.

After so many years, let alone beatings and scoldings, the emperor would feel distressed for a long time when the master of horsemanship and archery reprimanded him for a long time. From doubting whether the cavalry and archery master was bullying, without a father, mother, or family backing, to sentimental to the point that if Huo Chong's elder brother is still alive, how could this unknown so-called cavalry and archery master put on airs, the Huo family are all good players. The only nephew who can't teach his cousin.

And today you have to beat your adopted son? Is it Cen Anzhi who made the wrong message, or is Ling Budo really doing something wrong.

But the queen still said: "Young businessman, don't be in a hurry... OK, it's okay for you to go over and take a look. Speak well, don't contradict Your Majesty, I'll come over immediately, Zhai, come and change my clothes... "

From Changqiu Palace to Xuanzheng Palace, if you take a shortcut, it only takes more than a quarter of an hour, but along the way you have to pass a palace lane that separates the former court and the harem. secluded. However, the young merchants are as bold as a fight, and they will not be afraid of what kind of **** they will encounter. Originally, she was worried that she would be stopped by the guards guarding the entrance of the palace alley, and she would not be allowed to pass.

All the way along the palace alley and ran to the south, who knew that at the corner, he almost bumped into a person full of arms - Yuan Shen was holding two bamboo slips that were almost scattered, standing there as if in vain Hell. But he was young and alert, and he arrived in a blink of an eye.

"Is there something wrong with Ling Wusu? Just now, His Majesty and a few adults are arguing. I am taking notes beside me. Come out." Yuan Shen's face was full of surprise.

Shao Shang leaned against the palace wall and panted: "If something can happen, don't talk nonsense, if it is spread out, it will become Lord Ling's trouble and fall out of favor with Your Majesty... It was His Majesty who called us to discuss the wedding date. "

Yuan Shen reluctantly folded up the heavy bamboo slips: "You don't have to stop talking about this, I won't hurt you." Very good, his temperament has not changed at all. Be a thief first.

"By the way, the last time you asked me to inquire about Lou Yao, I asked clearly. But you have been in the palace, and I can't send you a letter. What's wrong with you? It is rumored that you and Ling Budo had quarreled, and you are locked in the palace and not allowed to come out?"

Shao Shang climbed the palace wall and slowly straightened up, exhaling: "I said, Mr. Yuan, can you think something good in advance, it can't be because I am highly regarded by my mother, so I stay here. How many daughters of officials and eunuchs in the capital want to enter the palace and serve the queen, and my eyes are red because of their envy! This is jealousy, pure jealousy!"

Yuan Shen rolled his eyes: "Why don't you say they are jealous that you can marry Ling Budo?"

"Oh, thank you Mr. Yuan for reminding me." Shaoshang panted on his waist and said bitterly, "A talent like Mr. Ling, even if Mr. Yuan you marry him, you will also be accepted by others. Jealous!"

Yuan Shen staggered and almost dropped a bamboo slip on the ground: "You, you...you don't know what it means!"

Shao Shang took a deep breath and did not want to delay any longer, so he passed Yuan Shen and continued to run forward.

Yuan Shen hugged the bamboo slips with one hand, and stretched out the sleeves of Shaoshang with the other, his fair and gentle face flushed: "Don't you want to know the current situation of Lou Yao, why don't you? asked?"

Husbands and wives close the door to discuss what is going on with outsiders, especially their ex-fiancée, it is too late to avoid suspicion, such low-level mistakes in romance can be made by themselves, as expected, they have lived happily for too long, and there is no sense of crisis at all, It deserves to be caught in a dilemma now.

She turned back and pulled her sleeves and frowned: "Thank you, Young Master Yuan, for fulfilling my contract and inquiring about the Lou family, but I thought about it later, my current status with him should not be changed anymore. It's implicated. It's better to let this matter go. Young Master Yuan, I'm going to face the Holy Spirit, let's stop it... Hey, why don't you pull me, let go, let go...!"

Yuan Shen pursed his lips: "The family has already met several young ladies for me, I, I, I have not made up my mind..."

"Then let's continue! Why are you pulling me!" Shaoshang couldn't pull his sleeves back, and was very angry, "If you don't see enough, you can fight each other, and you can always meet. Yuan Gongzi, you like it. The so-called things are done by human beings, don't be arrogant or impetuous, if there is a will, things will come true, the idiot will move mountains... You quickly let me go!"

There is a sensitive, irritable and cranky fiance on the stall. Now she has formed a conditioned reflex and is very afraid of entanglement with unmarried men of the right age.

At this time, four tall and strong palace maids chased after them, apparently coming to find Shaoshang. Yuan Shen's eyes were dark, and he slowly released his fingers.

Shao Shang immediately pulled back his sleeves and greeted the four palace maids of Changqiu Palace to go forward together, Yuan Shen watched the girl's flying back for a while, and then slowly paced When he left, he seemed to deliberately keep his back straight.

Rush to Xuanzheng Hall, Cen Anzhi has been waiting anxiously at the door for a while, sees Shaoshang hurried to meet him, and whispered: "Hey, little lady Cheng, you are finally here. Come on, your Majesty is throwing a tantrum from Lord Ling inside!"

Shao Shang grabbed Cen Anzhi's arm and swallowed painfully: "...what's going on?"

Cen Anzhi did not dare to delay, and while leading Shao Shang to the inner hall, he briefly explained the reasons in a soft voice.

In fact, the matter is very simple, in a nutshell, Ling Wudo beat the father, brother and the master of the eight little girls, and according to his meticulous and rigorous style, everyone interrupted every hand and foot. .

"...In just one afternoon, Master Ling is finished?" Shao Shang was moved in a strange direction. She looked at the sky outside—Ling Budo was out of breath when he left the palace after breakfast. If dinner hasn't been served tonight, the efficiency of going back and forth is beyond the scope of agricultural society.

Cen Anzhi had to explain.

This is a very complicated matter, and it needs to be implemented to several people in each household, but Ling Budo has manpower and power. As long as the dog-legged fifth prince tells the girl's family, The self-owned land guild explained the background of the family in detail.

Ling Budoubt didn't talk about three aunts and six aunts, but only severely punished the girl's immediate father and brother. There are a few that he wrote a post to invite. When the father and son thought they had a chance to make friends with Ling Budo, they happily came to Ling's residence and immediately opened the door and let the dogs beat people. If there are a few close by, just call the door - that's how the first seven solved it.

"No one was killed, only one or two wounded. Why should Your Majesty lose his temper?" Shao Shang murmured a heresy and fallacy that was extremely inconsistent with five lectures, four beauties, and three loves. In order to favor her fair-skinned, beautiful and bad-tempered fiance, she also worked very hard.

However, Cen Anzhi agreed and whispered: "If that's the case, your Majesty will naturally not lose his temper. But it's the last family that's bad!"

Because the father of the last family was on duty at the Censor's desk, although he was only a partial official, he was on duty today. After beating up all of the girl's brothers, Liang Qiu brothers suggested Ling Budo to finish the work another day. Even the fifth prince, who was watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal, felt that it was not good, but Ling Budo Regardless, he actually hit the Censor's desk directly, dragging people out in front of several adults and interrupting his hands and feet as usual.

Then things go awry.

The eight families are not a pity, but the Censor Desk is a state organ after all, so Ling Budo is like in a restaurant and restaurant. They're good-natured.

After kicking the ball to the emperor, he slipped away.

After listening to the ins and outs, Shao Shang did not know where to start.

Cen Anzhike didn't care about her complicated and tangled thoughts, and slipped the person into the inner hall, and followed the gap of the lacquered wood screen carved with 'Mu Wang drives the eight horses to control the world', Shaoshang saw the emperor's uprightness Drums sit on top. When the emperor said, "Come, so fast, tell her to get in", she immediately slipped in and sat down on her knees.

Shao Shang wanted to kneel in front of the emperor, so that when he begged for mercy, he could be more sincere and lifelike, but when he passed Ling Budo, who was kneeling in the middle, he quickly pulled her down. The sole of his foot slipped and stumbled, and he fell directly on top of him.

Shaoshang is indignant, you are not being honest at this time!

She thumped him hard, Ling Budo had no change in his face, and placed the girl beside him like a cabbage.

The emperor met up there, and sneered again and again: "Okay, the doctor of the imperial censor is going to attend the court tomorrow, you still don't know whether to live or die..."

Shao Shang couldn't care about personal grievances, and quickly bowed down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, although Lord Ling acted a little recklessly, but you can be forgiven!"

Ling Budo glanced at her sideways, and said unappreciatively, "You don't need to intercede for me. I avenge my revenge, and I will be punished for my fault, so I don't need others to worry about me."

This is exactly what Shao Shang said at the beginning, she said angrily: "Is that your hatred, obviously it is my hatred! They pushed me into the water, not pushing you into the water, you pretended What garlic!"

Today, he was arrested by Ling Buxuan to testify to Cheng Shaoshang early in the morning. So far, he has not eaten breakfast or lunch, but he does not feel hungry at all, instead he is full of energy. The so-called people have a happy event, and they may not eat rice.

Shao Shang gave the gloating guy a ruthless look, secretly determined that if Ling Budo can't escape, he has to drag this guy into the water!

Ling Budo looked at the girl and said word by word, "If you don't marry me, you don't have to enter the palace at all. If you marry an ordinary man-in-law, you won't suffer this crime at all. In the end, it was I who brought it to you. You secretly complained in your heart, but you couldn't say it out loud. You could only make trouble with me. Is that right or not?"

Young businessman is in a hurry: "You you you..." How can you say this in front of the old man? ! Although he was right.

."

She saw the emperor's face sinking like water, she gritted her teeth, simply pierced the window paper, and said loudly—

"Do you want to retire from me?"

"I want to resign and resign, and go to the countryside with you!"

Two sentences were spoken at the same time, and the latter sentence was spoken by Ling Budo. As soon as the words came out, the two were stunned at the same time. Ling Budo heard what Shaoshang said, and sneered again and again. Shao Shang heard what Ling Wuzhu had said, and his mouth was stunned.

The emperor heard what the two of them said, and scolded: "Fart! What official resignation, what kind of concealment, I am not dead yet!"

Seeing the emperor's anger, he fell to his knees and bowed. Ling Budo bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is in full swing, please be careful. Your Majesty said so, the minister must die."

The emperor was reluctant to get angry with his adopted son, so he shouted at Shaoshang: "Did I stop him from going to avenge you? But how can you be so obsessed with open fire! He is arrogant, unscrupulous, watching The imperial court is nothing! It's so arrogant and domineering!"

Champion Hou killed Li Gana when no one was around. Although everyone knew afterwards that he did it, as long as there was no evidence, the emperor could insist that Li Gan was careless The courtiers who fell off the horse and died could only recognize it by pinching their noses.

Don't your Majesty find it strange to praise him for being modest and courteous, treating people with kindness, and having the style of an ancient gentleman, but today he does such a maddening thing? I know…"

"You know?" Ling Budo said suddenly, his eyes were clear, he didn't seem to feel that he was in a difficult situation, and he mocked the girl casually, "You don't know. Otherwise you say, Censor Where is the stage?"

The emperor slightly curved the corners of his lips and flattened them.

After taking a hard breath, she ignored this awkward man and continued to plead with the emperor: "Although I don't know where the Censor's Desk is, it doesn't matter where the third prince and Jiuqing are! Your Majesty, since even the concubine knows it. Why does Master Ling still knowingly commit the crime and rush into the censor's desk?"

The emperor sat down slowly: "Well, in your opinion, why is this?"

The young business supporter got up with his arms and knelt straight, and said, "This, this, this is because Master Ling intends to be angry with his concubine..." She saw the old man staring again, "Uh, the concubine is again today. I quarreled with Master Ling..."

The emperor slapped the case a few times, and asked in a deep voice: "I know! Zisheng will not do wrong things for no reason! You little girl, so-called immersion, you can't learn the queen's warmth Wan Shou Shun, why do you have to quarrel with Zi Sheng all day long!"

Shao Shang defended in a low voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, in fact, every time Master Ling and his concubine quarreled, how dare the concubine start."

"Well, why do you have to let Zisheng quarrel with you all day long?" The emperor continued to question.

Shut up. Teacher, this question is beyond the syllabus, I will not do it.

She was thinking that if the old man protects the calf like this, he probably won't punish Ling Buxuan, but the emperor turned to Ling Buxuan and said: "If you quarrel with Shaoshang, you will Clashing at the Censor's Desk, if you fight next time, why don't you want to smash into my Mingguang Palace?! You are talking about how to settle this matter now!"

Ling Budo bowed down lowly, with a look of beating and scolding: "But it's up to Your Majesty to decide."

The emperor almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, decide? Decide your father! If you can simply decide why I am so anxious to get angry! Touching a pair of bronze talismans placed on the table, the emperor picked up one of them and threw it heavily, but his head was tilted to the south, east, north and west, almost hitting the fifth prince who was shrinking to the side.

Five princes: ...Father, Ling Budoubt is your own.

"Rush into the censor's desk, beat the officials in front of the censor, at least exile and join the army, but..." the emperor said.

Shao Shang's ears moved. exile? It doesn't sound bad, just round it up and put it out.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is willing to go with Lord Ling, uh...it's an exile..." She quickly expressed her intentions.

The fifth prince burst into tears.

The emperor let out a sigh of relief: "Of course, Nian Zaisheng used to be calm, loyal and diligent in the past, even if he was exiled... Well, change it, change it to..."

Ling Budo suddenly raised his head with clear eyes: "Your Majesty. This minister has done something wrong and should be punished. The minister was also dizzy at the time, causing trouble and causing trouble to His Majesty. Please, Your Majesty, punish you, and don't be merciful."

The emperor nodded: "It's good that you know what's wrong, this matter can be big or small, you will have to plead guilty later."

Shao Shang put down his heart and said happily, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Of course, one charge alone is not enough to block people's words, so let's add another fifty." The emperor said.

Ling Budo bowed respectfully: "I obey the order."

"What, what?" Shao Shang panicked, "Your Majesty, do you still want to beat him?" What scars are left, but the fear in my heart continues to this day.

The third prince came in from the door. The emperor looked at his son and asked, "Well, is the outside set up?" The third prince replied, "I will follow the instructions of the emperor."

"Okay, then you can go." The emperor waved his hand.

The third prince waved his hand and pointed out: "Zisheng, the torture rod and executioner are all arranged outside."

went out.

"Hey..." Shao Shang climbed over to pull Ling, and it was too late.

Seeing this uneasy ghost walk out of the inner hall, she turned her head and cried at the emperor, "Your Majesty, you are so cruel. Master Ling has been lonely since childhood, almost without parents, come Come and go alone. In his heart, he regards you as a real father! He was angry with his concubine today, so he will trespass on the censor's desk. Although the law cannot tolerate it, it is excusable, and you are not only inconsiderate. , I want to beat him... this, this is what is so human about Ling..."

The emperor said with a stern face: "I beat him, not because of you. You have to remember that Zisheng was beaten for you!"

Shao Shang held the clothes of the old man and begged hard, and it was not easy to tell Ling Budo every sentence, the tone was sincere, and the feelings were deep. The scolding and polished tone of voice almost made the young eunuchs on both sides red-eyed. The emperor had pity on Ling Budo, and gradually he couldn't hold it anymore. Fortunately, the fifth prince couldn't help but interjected.

"Ms. Cheng, it seems like a fight is about to start outside, er... what, why don't we go and see...?" Actually, he wanted to see it, but it seemed inconvenient to go out by himself.

Shao Shang angered from the heart, and angrily complained: "Your Majesty, you see, Master Ling is so pitiful, his father is not kind to his mother, and the bride he is looking for is ignorant, but the fifth prince is still gloating. !"

The emperor nodded: "Well, yes. Fifth, you accompany Zisheng all the way to fight today, you must have passed the eye addiction. Come on, pull the fifth prince down, and also blame the five sticks. ."

The fifth prince fell from the sky, astonished as if struck by lightning, and cried out: "Father..." Why do you have to sit with him every time!

Shao Shang continued to complain: "Your Majesty, yesterday the fifth prince molested his concubine! He recited Master Sima's "Phoenix for the Phoenix" to his concubine, and also praised the concubine's beauty and slenderness, many people heard it !"

The emperor said: "Well, then add five sticks, a total of ten sticks, pull it down."

The Fifth Prince collapsed:…

Seeing that there was no hope of intercession, Shao Shang had no choice but to resign to the emperor with a whimper, and then followed the strong **** who held the fifth prince hostage all the way to the execution site. When she arrived at the heavily guarded side hall, she was still standing in the courtyard. Through the railings, she saw Ling Buxuan being pinned to the ground. After removing his outer robe, only the snow-white tunic remained. The two executioners had already beaten them one, two, three or four. Woke up.

The three princes stood with their hands behind their backs.

Shao Shang was heartbroken for a while.

When she was beaten, the torture rod that Director Xiao offered was not so thick, and the executioner was old and weak, and had no strength; it was not like the two torture rods that the third prince found now, It was broad, flat and sturdy, the head of the stick was almost as wide as its own waist, and the executioner was even more robust and strong. When it started, it was like a tiger, and every time the stick fell, there was a faint wind.

Shao Shang was furious, picked up a small stone and threw it forward heavily, the third prince might as well, he was thrown into the left shoulder, and his face sank immediately: "Presumptuous!"

Shao Shang rushed up the steps regardless, and rushed towards Ling Budo in the hall with a whimper, but was firmly held by the two strong women who had been waiting by the side.

With a distance of two feet, Shao Shang was pressed to the ground, and he could only watch Ling Budo be hit on the back by the heavy falling cane, but he didn't shout, he was just stubborn He bit his pink lips, sweat dripped from his high forehead, and his face was as pale as white paper.

When he was beaten, the flesh burned as if it was split open, and the pain was as if the flesh was separated inch by inch.

She suddenly had a strange anger that she had never felt before. She felt that this man belonged to her, and her head, body and limbs belonged to her. She was reluctant to beat her and curse herself. Why should she suffer this crime? !

She finally couldn't help crying: "You don't hit him, hit me, don't hit me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't quarrel with you in the future, I and If you quarrel, you will be beaten. You have a disease in your head, you must be cured! Woohoo, don't fight, why haven't you finished the fight? Third Highness, you are so ruthless. Talking about the severity, but you tried so hard, you are going to kill him, you are so ruthless..."

The third prince stroked his left shoulder and stood there expressionlessly, feeling as if he had turned into a villain in the play. It is to find an outlet for the third prince.

Before the stick fell, the fifth prince was already crying and crying.

The side hall was very lively for a while, the whistling of the staff, the sound of falling staff, and the cry of the girl, the fifth prince yelled—the always serious third prince, his face was straight Black became the bottom of the pot.

…

At this time, in the high attic opposite the side hall, the emperor held a gilt wine scorpion and stood by the window sill and looked down with a smile. The queen who had just arrived sat beside him. Out of curiosity, Concubine Yue, who came with the third prince, sat opposite the queen.

The queen said helplessly: "Your Majesty, we are respectful people, how can we do such...

The emperor waved his hand to the back: "I understand, don't make noise, I can't hear clearly... Okay, Shaoshang is really crying this time, um, the cry is hoarse. When I look back, I will give it to her. Send some throat remedies. There's not much benefit left, but don't really hurt your throat."

Concubine Yue heard the five princes' screams, and thoughtfully: "When I was in the army, the concubines heard that the punishment with the stick is very good. In fact, the muscles and bones are broken inside, and the limbs are all crippled; the skin and flesh are not hurt, but the heart is painful; and there are seemingly flesh and blood flying, but in fact there is no serious problem... What is your Majesty using this time?"

The emperor turned his head and smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from A Heng. I just listened to Chu Laoer's report, and I was moved. I can kill two birds with one stone. The meaning is complete, I feel that I still need to see blood, and have heavy bruises. One is to block the mouth of the Censor, and the other is... Hehe, hehe..."

The queen stroked her forehead and sighed, "The children are quarreling, we should be comforted, how can there be such fueling the fire."

The emperor said solemnly: "You can't say it if you know it."

Concubine Yue sneered: "Zi Sheng is not stupid, even if he doesn't understand now, he will be able to detect the difference in his injuries after the execution."

"Zisheng, you can't hide it." The emperor said, "It's enough to hide the other one. You know, remember, don't tell Shaoshang!" Although the queen was soft-hearted, But she was very trustworthy. She said that she could go home after the birthday banquet if she said not to tell Cheng Shaoshang. The queen really endured it until after the birthday banquet.

The queen turned her back angrily.

The emperor leaned to the window sill again, didn't know what he saw, and said sternly: "Cen Anzhi, ask the person holding Shao Shang to let go, and let Shao Shang Pu's Ion Sheng get closer, a distance of two Three feet is enough. You can see it, but you can't touch it. If you can see Zisheng's blood mottled and sweaty, but she is helpless and helpless. This will make my heart even more sad..."

Cen Anzhi smiled bitterly and led the way.

"Your Majesty!"

The queen turned her head back and sighed with great satisfaction: "I know how to worry. In the future, their children will be in groups and when the moon is full, they will be grateful to my elders."

After speaking, she turned around and looked at it with relish.

The queen was speechless, holding her breath, and suddenly said to Concubine Yue: "Sister."

Concubine Yue shivered inexplicably: "…

"I heard that my sister and His Majesty were childhood sweethearts, dare to ask your sister what exactly did you like about His Majesty?"

Concubine Yue glanced at the emperor on the window sill with his neck stretched out to watch the play, and after holding it for a long time, she said, "In those days, His Majesty was known as the first beauty in Feng County."

She now prefers to admit that she was young and ignorant and was fascinated by beauty.
