When Chu Ling got up the next morning, when he saw Bai Ling coming in with his clothes in his arms, he couldn't help but think of what happened last night. He couldn't help but smile and said, "How is it?" Bai Ling was a little confused, "What is the princess asking?" Chu Ling said, "Xiao Zi. What was the result of your fight last night?"

Bai Er suddenly realized and said a little depressedly, "I am not the opponent of Commander Xiao." Since the prince's test of Xiao Feng's background, Bai Er naturally cannot give up halfway, so after returning to Yongle Palace, they found a place to fight again. Bai Er said, "I can't hold on with him for two hundred moves, so my subordinates are embarrassed by the princess."

Chu Ling waved his hand and said, "If you don't have some skills, how can he be the deputy commander of the big guard? It's enough for you to hold up more than a hundred tricks in his hand, so you're not injured?" Bai Lu shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern."

It happened that Xiao Yan'er came in and heard the conversation between the two. Xiao Yan'er said, "Sister Ah Ling, why do you want to test that wood for Bai Ge to go? Bai Ge was almost injured by that guy. Fortunately, this girl is wise and wise!" Chu Ling's hand, who was tidying up her clothes, froze, "What did you do?"

Xiao Yan'er smiled and leaned over to Chu Ling, and said with a little smugness, "I'll put him down, the deputy commander or something, nothing is great." Chu Ling stared at Xiao Yan'er, "You promised me not..."

Xiao Yan'er said, "That wooden face is not an ordinary person. Moreover, if I don't put him down, he will hurt Bai Er."

Chu Ling was speechless, it seemed that she was right to say this. But... "I just fainted? Is there anything else?"

Xiao Yan'er blinked and said, "I hurriedly pulled a few grasses, there should be no other problem, right?"

Chu Ling sighed helplessly, stood up and asked, "Where is Xiao Zhi? I'll go and see."

Xiao Yan'er hurriedly hugged her arm and said, "Oh, Sister A Ling, they're kidding. He's really okay, he's just a little sleepy, maybe he's awake now."

"My minister Xiao Shi asks to see the princess." Before Xiao Yan'er finished speaking, Xiao Shi's voice came from outside. Xiao Yan'er was startled and hurriedly hid behind Chu Ling and only poked a small head to look outside vigilantly. Chu Ling looked down at her and silently said, "Have you settled the score with you?"

Xiao Yan'er quickly showed a pitiful begging expression. Chu Ling stretched out her finger and poked her forehead and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

Chu Ling walked out of the inner hall and saw Xiao Shi standing in the center of the hall with a bad look on his face. He was obviously wearing the same clothes as last night, and there was even dust on the hem of the clothes that were stained from somewhere. Chu Ling smiled and said, "Commander Xiao, did you sleep well last night?"

Xiao Shi's expression was already cold and gloomy, but he couldn't be rude to Chu Ling, and said rudely, "Thank you for your concern, the princess, everything is fine." Chu Ling nodded, "What's wrong with Commander Xiao coming to see me so early?"

Xiao Shi said, "Your Majesty ordered my subordinates to be fully responsible for the princess' comfort. Please forgive me for saying bluntly that the people around the princess are too dangerous. For the sake of the princess' safety, my subordinates suggest that the princess expel these people from the palace."

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Who is Commander Xiao talking about?"

Xiao Shi said, "First of all, it's the girl Xiao, she..." Before Xiao Shi finished speaking, Xiao Yan'er jumped out of it and said angrily, "My surname is Xiao, what do you mean! You villain, actually instigated Sister Ah Ling to drive me out of the palace!"

Xiao Zi was unmoved and said calmly, "Miss Xiao, you are just the maid given to the princess by the Duke of Xiangguo. Please respectfully call him the princess or Your Highness. In addition, with the ability and means of the girl, I am afraid that there is something different from the ordinary maids mentioned by the Duke of Xiangguo of Xiangguo. I have reason to suspect that you have made some plans to enter the palace."

Xiao Yan'er was about to get angry on the spot, "You said, what, what!"

Xiao Feng said calmly, "I suspect you have made some plans to enter the palace."

Xiao Yan'er roared and was about to pounce in front of Xiao Shi. Finally, Chu Ling quickly brought her back with quick eyes. Otherwise, Xiao Yan'er would have poisoned Xiao Shi or Xiao Shi kicked Xiao Yan'er away. She was grabbed by someone's back collar. Xiao Yan'er was particularly unwilling to accept it and wanted to pounce in Xiao Shi's direction, "Bastard! How dare I say that this girl has a plan! You only have a plan. I can tell at a glance that you are a wooden face and have a bad taste. I don't know whose fine work it is! Sister Ah Ling, you must not believe him!"

Chu Ling patted Xiao Yan'er's back comfortably and said, "Okay, Yan'er, don't be angry."

Xiao Yan'er snorted lightly, and finally stopped making noise, but she snuggled beside Chu Ling and grimaced at Xiao Shi. Chu Ling was a little amused. Speaking of which, Xiao Yan'er was already over 10 years old, but when she was making noise, she looked like a child. However, she also looked like a little loli, which only made people feel cute.

Xiao Shi looked at Xiao Yan'er with a bad expression, and Chu Ling smiled and said, "Yan'er is a childish temper, so please don't mind." Xiao Shi said seriously, "You are the princess, my subordinates are serious, and I hope the princess will carefully consider his subordinates' suggestions." Chu Ling waved her hand and said freely and freely, "Don't think about it, I believe Yan'er." Chu Ling felt that in Xiao Shi's eyes, she might be a stupid and stupid master who was difficult to serve. Following her was like a bad thing that had been going on for eight lifetimes.

Xiao Shi stopped talking and stood aside in silence.

Chu Ling Youran said, "Since Commander Xiao is fine, please accompany me out of the palace for a walk."

Xiao Feng frowned and said, "Princess, you cannot leave the palace at will without His Majesty's permission." Chu Ling nodded and said, "I know, this is my problem. Commander Xiao just prepare to follow me."

When Xiao Shi saw Chu Ling easily get the pass order to leave the palace from Emperor Yongjia, Xiao Shi's expression became even more strange. Chu Ling touched his chin and looked at Deputy Commander Xiao's serious face, but with heavy expressions in his eyes. He felt that this Deputy Commander Xiao might not be as old-fashioned as he looked on the surface, and he looked quite crazy, but he didn't know what he had imagined again in this moment.

Chu Ling carried the token of the palace given by Emperor Yongjia, and only brought Jin Xue, Xiao Yaner and Xiao Shi out of the palace. Chu Ling, who had been dressed in a simple and elegant light blue dress, looked a little more bright and leisurely. Xiao Yaner followed Chu Ling happily, looking like an older sister and a younger sister out. It was so annoying that the dark wood followed behind him! Xiao Yaner turned her head and looked at Xiao Shi who was following them, and hummed unhappily.

Chu Ling reached out and knocked her head, saying, "Don't mess with Xiao Feng if you're okay, you can't beat him if you're really annoyed."

Xiao Yan'er raised her chin and said proudly, "I am not afraid of him. I dare to do something. I will ruin him!" Chu Ling looked at Xiao Yan'er carefully, shook her head with some regret and sighed, "I have been with the guys in the Zhuque Camp for a few days now? A good girl has become like this. Think about it, I'm really sorry for Uncle Yun."

"Sister Ah Ling!" Xiao Yan'er stomped her feet.

Chu Ling smiled and changed the topic, "I'm here, Ping Jing Yan'er hasn't had fun yet, right? Let's see what you like."

Xiao Yan'er was indeed very interested in these things. After a moment, she pulled Jin Xue into the shop on the side of the road. Anyway, Sister Ah Ling was so powerful that she had the protection of the surname Xiao, so she reluctantly protected Jin Xue. Anyway, she didn't want to be with the surname Xiao.

Everyone has the surname Xiao, how could someone be so annoying?

It turns out that this figure is not the other one.

Pingjing was originally the southern city of Tianqi. Since Tianqi moved its capital here more than ten years ago, the entire Pingjing has flourished rapidly. Although the entire north was occupied by the people of the Clan, the rich land of Tianqi has been in the south since ancient times, so even if only half of the country is left, the south is still the most prosperous place in the world. Due to the transfer of the court, the entire south has been greatly developed and governed, and the people in the south have even lived a richer life than before. Except, the taxes that followed were a little heavier than before. And there are more people who came from the north, still missing their hometowns and old friends separated by a river.

Pingjing is actually much more prosperous than Shangjing. Although Pingjing is not as large as Shangjing, it has only been expanding over the years. There are many shops on the streets, and merchants come and go on the streets. If there are many things in Shangjing that must be transported from specific places and it is not easy to buy land, Pingjing can be said that as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy.

Chu Ling walked slowly on the street, passing by the pedestrians coming and going, which made people feel a little bit peaceful and peaceful. Chu Ling stood in the crowd in a daze, and seemed to know where to go for a while.

"Princess?" Seeing Chu Ling standing in the middle of the street, Xiao Shi asked in confusion.

Chu Ling looked at Xiao Shi, and after a while, he asked, "Commander Xiao, what do you think of the current Age?" Xiao Shi was stunned, as if he was puzzled, "What does the princess mean?" Chu Ling waved his hand and said, "Don't call me princess outside, just call me Miss Ling. I want to ask you, if today Qi lives in a corner, people can live and work in peace, do you think this will continue?"

Xiao Shi said, "It is naturally good for the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

Chu Ling asked, "What about the people in the north? Do they deserve to be abandoned?"

Xiao Shi's expression changed slightly, and he looked around and approached Chu Ling and whispered in a low voice. "Miss Ling should not say such words at will." Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Commander Xiao also thinks that this is great now?"

Xiao Shi did not answer, Chu Ling sighed lightly and turned forward, whispering softly, "Actually, I think it would be great if they could always do this. But what should the abandoned people do? How long can such peace last? Will the people of the Clan be at ease to guard the half of the northern country?"

Xiao Shi watched Chu Ling's back merge into the crowd. After a while, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, and said softly, "No." Then he raised his head and chased after him quickly.

Chu Ling likes to go to a teahouse every time she goes to a strange place, because she can hear many interesting things in this kind of place. Today, Chu Ling chose a teahouse that looks neither good nor bad on the busiest corner. The three floors of the teahouse are filled with guests. Before Chu Ling could walk up to the second floor, she heard a sound of a slap in the table above, and then a loud voice of an old man came, "That's right, Old General, thank you..."

The two walked up the second floor, and the upstairs were indeed full of people. In the most conspicuous position, a thin old man with gray hair was talking on the books. He was full of interest, and the audience around him was also very enthusiastic when they heard it from time to time. It was obviously a very popular story.

Chu Ling and Xiao Xi found a bad place in the corner to sit down. Although there was a sound in this place, the old man who was telling the story was not visible, but it sounded good. Chu Ling looked at Xiao Xi meaningfully and asked, "What story is this old man telling?"

Xiao Feng replied, "What he said is the story of the veteran General Xie Tingze guarding the lonely city for more than ten years."

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that Commander Xiao is very interested in this story." Xiao Shi's face was a little stiff and avoided Chu Ling's eyes full of interest, and said, "It's just that I heard it by chance. The story of the story of the story of the story of the story of the story of the princess should not be true. Just listen to it casually."

Chu Ling smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the point of being invisible. What I see is a bit of meaning." In the words of this storyteller, Baili Qinghong is like a vulgar villain who forgets his ancestors, betrays his faith, and fears death. When the people present heard the storyteller scolding Baili Qinghong, they even applauded. This shows how bad Baili Qinghong's reputation is in the hearts of Tianqiren.

Xiao Shi looked at Chu Ling with great enthusiasm while listening to books while eating melon seeds, and couldn't help asking, "My husband... What do Miss Ling want to do?" Chu Ling said in confusion, "Listen to the book, this is the first time I have heard such a nice story. What's wrong?"

Xiao Feng looked at Chu Ling with disbelief. Chu Ling smiled and gave him a smile regardless of whether he believed it or not.

After a while, the story came to an end. Everyone cheered in unison and many people generously gave some rewards to Storyteller. Those who had free time and money to drink tea here would not be poor, and naturally they would not be reluctant to give up these copper coins. Chu Ling even saw a few pieces of silver on the plate where the money was loading. Chu Ling thought about it and threw a small piece of silver on the plate. The little boy next to the old storyteller who helped collect the money thanked him repeatedly, and did not forget to say a few auspicious words to Chu Ling.

Chu Ling found it interesting and waved his hand to let the boy go.

The storyteller left, and the entire second floor became even more noisy. Originally, everyone was listening to books, and no one said anything except cheers. Now that there was no book, everyone started chatting with them. Now, in Pingjing Imperial City, isn’t the most worth talking about Princess Shenyou who just returned to the palace?

Next to Chu Ling and Xiao Shi, there were several scholars sitting in front of a pillar. They didn't know if they were idle or if they were talking about Princess Shenyou, which is Pingjing's new fashion. In a short while, they brought the topic to Chu Ling. Chu Ling smiled and looked at Xiao Shi who was trying to say something opposite, and successfully made Deputy Commander Xiao swallow the words he said.

I heard the young man wearing a cotton robe say, "Brother He, Brother Wang, what do you think about that matter?" He did not say what happened, but the two people opposite him seemed to be able to understand it instantly. The other older man sighed and said, "Although it is human nature to say that the deep love between father and daughter is a bit too much. How can we make the ancestors' etiquette and law?"

Another young man said, "So, Brother He is on the side of all the adults?"

Brother He nodded and said for granted, "This is natural. The ancestors did not follow the etiquette and law, so the world is not messed up? What's more, one... Maybe one day hen Si Chen will be going to have a hen, so what kind of discipline is this!"

"That's exactly what it said." The young man who spoke first said decisively, "What's more, this..." The other party seemed to know that their argument was not a good thing, and the young man also consciously lowered his voice and said, "That... has come out of Huayiyuan in Shangjing, not to mention who has done anything outside in the past few years? His Majesty was confused for a moment, and he would be named a princess without even checking it. It would be fine for the princess, but he actually needs some courtesy. Isn't this a nonsense? If he finds out that there is something unspeakable in the north in the future, will this embarrass our entire Apocalypse?"

"Not." The king also agreed and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has been stalemate with the ministers these days. He just came back and made His Majesty disagree with the court officials. It is true that the country is in chaos, and there will be evil spirits!"

Although the three people's voices were extremely low, as if only they could hear them themselves, Chu Ling and Xiao Shi were both masters, so they could naturally hear them clearly. Xiao Shi's expression was a little ugly, and there was a little more worry in his eyes when he looked at Chu Ling. Chu Ling didn't care and chuckled and said in a low voice, "I really don't understand why some people like to discuss such dangerous topics in such places."

"Miss Ling, they are all scholars." Xiao Shi reminded.

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, "I naturally know that they are all scholars. Is there anything to say?"

Xiao Shi looked around and said, "Apocalypse, don't kill soldiers."

"Oh." Chu Ling nodded in a clear way, and it turned out that she was afraid that she would be angry and killed the three unlucky guys.

"What is Commander Xiao thinking? How could I be such a cruel person?" Chu Ling said with a smile, "But then, it turns out that Tianqi has this rule. No wonder so many fly dare to jump around."

Xiao Shi said in his heart, you seem to be kind, but his intuition as a master made him not believe in Chu Ling's harmless illusion. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a somewhat surprised voice coming from behind, "Isn't this Vice Commander Xiao?"

Xiao Shi frowned slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed across his face. Chu Ling looked up with interest. You must know that there are not many people who can make Commander Xiao have obvious emotional changes. As soon as he raised his head, he saw a young man in a gorgeous costume walking towards them with a somewhat hypocritical and kind smile on his face.

Chu Ling held his chin and looked at the young man who was obviously not suspiciously. He looked at Xiao Shi and raised his eyebrows and asked, "I know?"

Xiao Shi looked at the young man with a calm expression and did not speak. The young man had turned his gaze to Chu Ling. Chu Ling's appearance was rare in Pingjing, where there were many beautiful women, but Xiao Shi found that the princess's personality was really changeable. In an instant, the girl in blue in front of her turned into a pretty and innocent girl with an age who was ignorant and ignorant all over her body.

The young man's eyes lit up when he saw Chu Ling, but he claimed that he was a noble family and disdained to do the kind of thing he teased a good woman. He smiled at Chu Ling very gracefully and said, "I'm Xiao Jinrong, don't you know the girl's name?"

Chu Ling made a move to Xiao Meng, lowered her eyes slightly and said, "I...I don't know you."

The young man looked at Xiao Meng, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes. He stared at Xiao Meng and raised his eyebrows and said, "Deputy Commander Xiao... Oh, no, you are no longer the deputy commander. Didn't Your Majesty ask you to be a guard for the princess? In broad daylight, you actually brought a girl to drink tea? What a courage."

Xiao Meng lowered his eyes and said lightly, "It has nothing to do with you."

The young man snorted and said, "It has nothing to do with me? Even if you are a concubine's son, you are a member of my Xiao family. If Your Majesty thinks you are dereliction of duty, wouldn't you think that our Xiao family has no guidance? That's right, Your Majesty demoted you to the guard of Yongle Palace, which has already shamed the Xiao family."

Xiao Meng's eyes slashed, and he raised his head and looked at the young man steadily and said, "I have nothing to do with your Xiao family!" The young man curled his lips disdainfully and said, "It has nothing to do with the Xiao family? If you have the ability, don't have the surname Xiao. If you have the ability, please ask your father to cross out your name from the Xiao family tree."

Sitting from Chu Ling's angle, you can clearly see Xiao Meng clenching his hand on his knee under the table, obviously trying his best to endure his temper. In this era, especially in places like Tianqi, clans are very important. If a person is an orphan or has no background, it is okay, but if he is expelled from his own clan, he cannot become an official. If Xiao Meng is really expelled from the Xiao family, everything will be ruined, his previous efforts and future future.

It’s no wonder that Xiao Meng, a deputy commander of the great inner guard with great martial arts skills, has to endure a playboy who has no ability. It’s just because this young man is the legitimate son of the Xiao family.

Since Xiao Meng is his personal guard and Chu Ling also plans to take him for himself, it naturally makes people understand Xiao Meng's family background.

Xiao Shi was born in a family that was not counted. Xiao Shi's great-grandfather was once a general with great military achievements. However, by his grandfather, his father's generation had gradually declined. Xiao Shi was a concubine's son, and he was not valued or favored since childhood. In addition, his biological mother died early, and in the old and corrupt courtyard of the Xiao family, he almost died on his own. However, Xiao Shi had a good talent since childhood and entered the palace as a guard at the age of sixteen. Over the years, he gradually became the most capable person in the entire Xiao family. After all, the father of Xiao Shi, the current head of the Xiao family, is just a free job who is only a fourth-rank rank.

But even so, Xiao Shi's life at home was not easy. Xiao's father was not capable, but Mrs. Xiao's family gradually got up over the years. Xiao Shi's personality was very unpleasant to Xiao's father, so even his younger brother dared to swear to him casually. When Xiao Shi was the deputy commander of the Great Inspector, he was still a little restrained. Now Xiao Shi has obviously been devalued by Emperor Yongjia, so how could Xiao Shi's brothers still bear it?
