Chapter 124 Iron Riding Token Back
Ru'an Palace is the queen's bedroom. The name 'Ru'an' is to surprise yourself. If the world is too safe and good, you can't indulge in it! It's better to be safe than dangerous. This is the queen's own motto, which is often mentioned to the nine princesses. The queen has only these nine daughters. If a man is the emperor, there will be more sons and princesses... women! How many more can you give birth to in your life?
When the eighth princess arrived at Ru'an Palace, she happened to see Li Lingmin chatting with the Queen in a pavilion in Ru'an Palace. There was a stove in the pavilion, and there was a pond outside the pavilion, covered with snow on it, which looked unique charm.
Li Lingmin and the queen both had smiles on their faces. Obviously, they were talking about something happy. When the bodyguard saw the eighth princess coming, he shouted loudly, "The eighth princess is here."
The queen and the ninth princess looked over at the same time. The eighth princess saluted and said, "I would like to say good luck to my mother. I haven't seen my mother for many days. How has my mother been recently?
The queen said, "Fang Min, you are here. Ling Min and I are talking about the snow on the water. It is rare to have such a beautiful scenery in winter." The name of the eighth princess is Li Fangmin. Among the names of the nine princesses, there is a word 'Min'.
The eighth princess's mood eased slightly. It seemed that Li Lingmin had not said anything about the the theft of the iron riding token. She sat down and said, "The mother's health is important. In such a cold weather, she is still sitting outdoors. The child is afraid that the mother will catch a cold."
The queen laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. The mother is very moved that you can have this heart."
Li Lingmin pretended to be sad and said, "Beihu has repeatedly violated our country. It must have been very hard for the soldiers to guard the border area day and night. Yesterday, my daughter heard that the Iron Horse Troupe has made great achievements and made a poem with great confidence."
Although there are only hundreds of people in the iron cavalry regiment, that is our pride. After you led the military power of the iron cavalry, you personally went to Beihu to live for two years. After that, the iron cavalry regiment has made many achievements, and the mother emperor is also quite pleased. You just mentioned writing a poem. Can you share it with your mother?
Li Lingmin said euphemistically, "Insensitive is not talented, which makes the mother and Fang Min sister laugh."
"Why do you have to be so polite to your family?"
Li Lingmin recalled a few poems written by Han Ruoli and said, "The north wind blows the ground with white grass, and Hu Tian will snow in August. Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pears bloom. Scattered into the bead curtain and wet curtain, the fox Qiu is not warm and thin. The general's horn bow is uncontrollable, and the iron clothes are still cold.
The sea is dry with hundreds of feet of ice, and the sad clouds are bleak and condensed thousands of miles. The Chinese army returned wine and drinks, Huqin Pipa and Qiang flute. One after another, the snow fell on the door, and the wind and red flags were frozen. The east gate of Luntai sent you there, and it was snowy on Tianshan Road. I can't see you on the mountain circuit, and there is a horse walk in the snow.
The queen kept nodding and said with approval, "Not bad! Not bad! With a keen observation and romantic and unrestrained tone, you depict the magnificent scenery of the northwest frontier fortress of the motherland and the warm scene of the frontier barracks sending farewell to the envoys back to Beijing, which fully reflects the patriotic enthusiasm of my border guards and their sincere feelings for their comrades.
Li Lingmin said, "When I saw the snow yesterday, I accidentally remembered the picture of all the soldiers and soldiers of the Iron Horse Regiment when I left Mobei three years ago, and for a moment, I thought of the soldiers of the Iron Horse Regiment."
The queen sighed, "It's already winter in Mobei. Tomorrow, take some silver taels from the treasury and add cotton clothes and wine to the soldiers in Mobei."
"Thank you, Mother." Li Ling** said excitedly, "The mother emperor's kindness is the service of the generals of the Mobei Railway Cavalry... Ah--" Li Lingmin suddenly covered her stomach, and the expression on her face became painful.
The queen asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Lingmin blushed and said, "It doesn't matter. It's just that his stomach will be uncomfortable these days. He has an old problem. The child will retreat for the time being."
As soon as the queen heard it, she had her period and said, "Go."
Li Lingmin left the pavilion and left a paper-wrapped thing in the pavilion, which was as big as a waist card. No one cared, but after a while, Li Lingmin's bodyguard carefully said, "Your Majesty...I...I."
The queen said, "You are a sensitive bodyguard, right? What's the matter?"
The maid said, "Go back to the queen, the ninth princess's things are there."
The eighth princess and the queen saw the things on the chair in the pavilion at the same time. The eighth princess took it up and asked, "Is this it?"
The bodyguard arched his hand and said, "Eight Princess, that's it."
The eighth princess opened it and took a look. It turned out to be an "iron riding token" and asked in surprise, "What is this?"
The queen only glanced and said, "This is an iron riding token."
"Impossible..." The eighth princess said, "This...this..."
Li Lingmin has been observing and thinking: Han Ruoli is really expected to be like a god, and this poem is well written.
The queen said, "It can't be wrong. I personally gave it to her. I didn't expect her to be so careless." There is a sense of blame in the tone.
At this time, Li Lingmin came back and saw the eighth princess Li Fangmin holding the token and said, "Sister Fang Min, how can my iron riding token be in your hand?"
The eighth princess said, "Why is this an iron riding token? This is obviously fake..."
Li Lingmin said, "This was given to me by the mother emperor in the hall. How can it be tender and fake?"
The queen said, "Fang Min can't be wrong. It's indeed an iron horse token."
"This..." Eighth Princess Li Fangmin stretched out her hand with the token, "Mother, look at this token..."
Li Lingmin was shocked. The queen must not see the fake token. She stretched out her hand and grabbed it. After getting the token, Li Lingmin deliberately slipped from her fingers and fell into the pond. Li Lingmin was immediately unhappy. "Sister Fang Min, how can you be so careless and drop my token into the pond."
The queen didn't see it clearly and said, "You are really sensitive. How can this token be placed randomly? What if it is picked up by someone else? Next time if you do this again, I will punish you severely.
Li Lingmin said, "I didn't dare to leave the token for a moment. I just stood up to write a poem on a whim and suddenly had a stomachache, so I forgot the token here. I knew it was wrong."
The queen said, "Forget it, I'll forgive you this time."
Li Lingmin curled her lips and said coquettishly in front of her mother, "Sister Fang Min dropped my token into the pond. I want her to compensate me."
"Nonsense!" The queen said, "Can a token be made? Why don't you go fishing quickly? With that, when the queen left the pavilion, Li Lingmin followed and said loudly, "Sister Fang Min, if you want to fish it up for me and send it to my house, I won't be angry with you."
The queen sighed in her heart that Li Lingmin was her youngest daughter and usually loved her. At this time, when she saw Li Lingmin acting coquettishly, she didn't feel anything. She said to the eighth princess Li Fangmin, "Fang Min, pick up the token and send it to your sister."
Li Lingmin turned her head and said, "I'll accompany my mother to Ru'an Palace and wait for you there."
Only then did the eighth princess Li Fangmin know that she had been trapped. If she sent this fake token, Li Lingmin would definitely frame herself of dropping the token in front of the queen. If she didn't send it, it would be against the order. She never thought that in the end, the iron riding token would go back by herself. Now the Eighth Princess has also figured out why the team only have a power of attorney and sued Zhimobei Railway Cavalry transferred military power without saying that the token was stolen. Li Lingmin didn't want that team to go to Mobei at all, so he went to a "sincere authorization for the transfer of military power" to deceive himself. This move is too cruel and the layout is so sophisticated. She believes that this is not what Li Lingmin thought of. She has fought with Li Lingmin since she is sensible. This time, the technique is so clever that she has never seen before.
Li Lingmin was extremely happy. The whole plan was a little different from Han Ruoli's expectation. Fortunately, he was smart enough to throw the fake token into the pond. If it hadn't been in the pavilion of the pond at that time, it might have been another kind of result. Heaven is not as good as people. The overall layout of the whole plan was planned by Han Ruoli. Li Lingmin's admiration for Han Ruoli is one more layer.
Not long after waiting in Ru'an Palace, the Eighth Princess's bodyguard sent the real iron riding token to Li Lingmin's hand. Li Lingmin, who got the token, said happily to the Eighth Princess's bodyguard: "Go back and tell Sister Fang Min that I will come to thank you."
The queen said, "You are my youngest daughter, and my mother loves you the most. In my mother's eyes, you are still the wayward girl when you were a child. Today, my mother won't blame you for this, but this is not an example."
Li Lingmin nodded and said with a smile, "I promise there will be no next time. Can you rub your shoulders?"
The queen enjoyed her daughter's massage with a mother's smile on her face and said, "Although you are the youngest of the nine sisters, you are also the smartest. Do you know why I have never let you participate in the government?"
Li Lingmin said, "I don't know."
The queen said calmly, "I don't know that I'm cheating in the court. I don't want you to participate in the government, but I don't want you to get into this muddy water. Before your father died of illness, he begged me not to pass the throne to you or let you participate in any politics. He just wants you to grow up happily. From the moment you were 16 years old at the coming-of-age ceremony, I knew that you had great enthusiasm for the protection of the country, which was also very good, but I still hope you would live a happy life."
Li Lingmin rubbed the queen's shoulder and said, "My son knows that the mother is well-hearted and my son understands. So I didn't fight for anything, just wanted to surround the border. The mother emperor said that she would give her son a sum of money to supplement the military pay. Tomorrow, she will go to Mobei and personally send this batch of condolences to the soldiers.
When the queen heard Li Lingmin's words, she was still very relieved and said, "Your mother knows that you have good intentions towards the border soldiers. If you go now, can you come back before New Year's Eve?"
Li Lingmin said, "If I can't come back, I will celebrate the New Year with the soldiers at the border gate."
The queen sighed and said to Li Lingmin, "You have to be careful all the way."
"My son knows."
"..." Li Lingmin chatted with the queen for a long time before she went to rest and lay in **. Li Lingmin's mind was full of Han Ruoli's shadow. She never thought that the token would return to her. Han Ruoli only saw the eighth princess and thought about the eighth princess's temper. No wonder she was so angry to death by him. Living, he was reluctant to kill him with a sword. It seemed that Han Ruoli also ate himself to death.
In Li Lingmin's mind, Han Ruoli's image is getting taller and higher. Through this matter, Li Lingmin decided to take Han Ruoli under the account anyway, but Han Ruoli is the kind of person who leads and retreats. How can he control it? This is a question worth studying, and now, the eighth princess must hate Han Ruoli even more. In the world, Lei Wanzhi will take people to find trouble for Han Ruoli, and the government will also be ordered by the eighth princess to find Han Ruoli's bad luck. Thinking of this, Li Lingmin is particularly anxious and tells herself that she must immediately think of a Han Ruoli can get out of the safe way, but what is this good way?
