Chapter 40: But See the True Face
Joke, her wish is just to be a catcher. The emperor asked her to be a catcher. Who dares to oppose it? Therefore, Bingying hurriedly replied, "Under the whole world, is it possible that this small wish of Wang Tu and the people's daughter is naturally just a trivial matter in the eyes of the emperor."
The full embodiment of the imperial power made the old emperor happy. He laughed and said, "Then now you can tell me your wish, and I promise you: I will definitely make a holy decree to fulfill your wish for you."
Suddenly, he stopped smiling and looked a little strange. He said both as a reminder and warning, "But don't make any excessive demands, then I won't agree. For example... what do you want my country? I can't give you a Zen edict!"
Bingying thought that the emperor really couldn't change his suspicious problem, so she quickly knelt down and said, "The people's women dare not. The wishes of the people's women have nothing to do with the emperor. In fact... this is just a little ambition of women. The people's daughter has wanted to be a catcher since she was a child, but the parents of the people's daughter disagree. Besides, it is impossible for the master of the government to let a woman do the arrest speed, so..."
The old emperor stared and said in surprise, "Do you want to be a fast catcher?"
It was not only the old emperor who was surprised, but also several of the attendants around the old emperor. This woman went around and tried her best to please the emperor in order to allow her to be a fast arrester? Isn't this incredible? You know, fast-catching is a profession that only inferior people can do. Even the descendants of fast-catching can't get a reputation. How can anyone ask to be fast-catching without gold, silver and jewelry?
Bingying said firmly, "Yes, the people's women want to be a fast arrest. Since the age of five, the people's women have made this ambition. Please complete it." After saying that, she kowtowed a few times, and then looked fixedly at the old emperor waiting for his reply.
At this moment, Wen Chenyang understood that Bingying had already seen the identity of the emperor, so she deliberately led the emperor into her trap, in order to let the emperor issue a decree to let her be a fast arrest! In this way, even Dongliu Villa does not dare to disobey the imperial edict, so she does not have to worry about the opposition of Ximen Dongliu and Lin Ruosu.
He broke out in a cold sweat. The little sister's mind was so deep that he didn't even see the identity of the emperor, let alone her intentions. Although he doesn't agree very much, for now, things must have become a fore, and it is useless for him to oppose it. The emperor personally promised to fulfill his wish for Bingying. Naturally, he would not break his promise.
The old emperor shook his fan and thought about the request of the woman in front of him. Although it is incredible for a woman to be a fast catcher, the law of this dynasty does not stipulate that 'women are not allowed to hold the position of catch fast'. He is the king of a country. Since he promised to fulfill her wish in front of everyone, this wish is not too much and has not caused any loss to his emperor. If he doesn't agree... it's really unreasonable.
After thinking about it, he agreed, "Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't dissuade you. But you have to figure it out that there is no future for a fast catcher. At most, you can also be the chief catcher, which depends on your achievements.
"Thank you for your concern. The people's daughter has figured it out." Bingying said with a smile, but she thought maliciously in her heart: If the emperor knew that she was the only daughter of Ximen Dongliu, would he be angry and stared? I heard that even the emperor had to be afraid of Dongliu Villa, so Feng Hanlong could stay safe in the villa for ten years.
Seeing that she did not change her mind, the old emperor ordered the chamber servant to take the four treasures of the study, waved a letter, and then took down the jade pendant at his waist and ordered the chamberlain to hand it to Bingying, and said, "I wrote a handwritten letter to the magistrate of Qingping. You go to him first, and he will naturally see the letter. Arrange for you to enter the government office as a fast arrester. In addition, you also took my jade pendant to see the governor of Qingping. However, you have to give it back to me afterwards."
"Thank you, Ximen Bingying, long live my emperor." After receiving the letter and Yupei, Bingying finally thanked the emperor under her full name.
Ximen? The old emperor suddenly sat up straight and asked in disbelief, "What's your name?"
Bingying blinked innocently and shattered all the hopes of the old emperor: "The people's daughter Ximen Bingying, from Dongliu Villa, her father Ximen Dongliu, and her mother Lin Ruosu. Because the people's daughter wanted to be a fast arrester, but their father and mother did not allow it. Originally, the people's daughter thought that there was no hope in this life, but they met the kind-hearted emperor, which could get what they wanted. The women are really grateful to the emperor. Let the women kowtow to the emperor a few more times.
After saying that, she continued to kowtow, but her heart was about to laugh. This is really 'There is no place to break the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much time'. Originally, I was still thinking about how to get the consent of my parents. Who knew that when I met the current emperor, an imperial edict solved a big problem in her life, wouldn't it make people happy?
The old emperor's face darkened and shouted, "Bold and unruly! I have heard that Mr. Dongliu's daughter is unparalleled, and the people who went to propose marriage almost broke the threshold. How can you pretend to be like this? Don't tell me the truth, so that I won't cure you for a crime of bullying the king!"
The emperor and the rest of the room do not believe that this woman is Ximen Bingying, the daughter of Dongliu Villa. You should know that Ximen Dongliu is usually the most proud of his daughter, and he should praise everyone. Although his daughter has been recovering from her wounds in the snowy mountains for a long time, some people did see Ximen Bingying when they followed Ximen Dongliu to Xueshan and were shocked by her beauty. Therefore, it is really difficult for them to believe that the mediocre woman in front of them is Ximen Bingying.
Bingying has long planned to hide it from the old emperor with the art of changing her appearance. After all, her crime of bullying the king will be inevitable in the future. Now that the old emperor's handwritten letter and jade pendant have arrived, she is not afraid of his repentance, so she said sincerely: "The emperor is angry, and the people's women have no intention to deceive the emperor, because if the people's women play out with their true face, they will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. This is also the idea of parents, so the people's daughter changed their appearance. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can order someone to bring water, and the woman will wash off the medicine on her face, and the emperor will naturally understand.
To be honest, she doesn't like her original appearance very much. She is too eye-catching and a troublemaker. However, with the two models of Ximen Dongliu and Lin Ruosu there, it is difficult for her borrowed body to be mediocre. Fortunately, the men around her, such as Leng Rong and Wen Chenyang, are not crazy, which comforts her a lot - there are still men who don't love beauty in the world.
In fact, she is wrong. Everyone - not only men, but also women, likes beautiful people or things. However, in terms of her current emotional intelligence, she still doesn't understand this truth. The opposite sex is often most attracted by appearance or temperament, and then they will deeply understand each other and then fall in love with each other. Just like when she looks at Wen Chenyang, Leng Rong, Ye Bing, Feng Hanlong and others, she will also give priority to the handsome faces of others.
"Come on, f for water!" The old emperor panicked and couldn't wait to determine whether the girl in front of him was the daughter of Ximen Dongliu. If she is really Ximen Dongliu's beloved daughter, he will fall this time! What is the identity of Ximen Bingying? Now he asked her to be arrested by an imperial edict, and the outside thought that he, the emperor, was going to suppress Dongliu Villa. With the love of Simon Dongliu and Lin Ruosu for their daughter, how can they not be disgusted with him as an emperor?
When it comes to the old emperor's fear of Ximen Dongliu, not only because many ministers in the court are elites trained by Dongliu Villa, but also because Ximen Dongliu and the people in his villa are highly martial arts... More importantly, because Ximen Dongliu has a shocking secret in his hands, which makes the old emperor have to be afraid. He.
This secret is the treasure of the country. In fact, Ximen Dongliu himself does not know, and the only person who knows is the old emperor. But the old emperor only knew one of them and didn't know the other - he only knew that there was a treasure of the town, but he didn't know where the treasure of the town was buried. However, the old emperor knew that Prince Feng knew this secret, because the ancestors of the Feng family were one of the people who participated in the burial of treasures many years ago. Since the ancestors of the Feng family know it, there is no reason not to tell Prince Feng to know it from generation to generation.
Therefore, before being destroyed, Prince Feng handed over a letter to Ximen Dongliu, which was equivalent to telling Ximen Dongliu the whereabouts of the treasure of the country. The old emperor later learned about this and sent people to Dongliu Villa to explore several times, but found nothing. But the old emperor knew that if the power of Yidongliu Villa today finds out the treasures of the country... then it will not be far from the day of Ximen Dongliu's rebellion.
Because of this, the old emperor sent people to monitor Dongliu Villa day and night, hoping to intercept him before Dongliu did anything at the west gate. Unfortunately, the old emperor did not expect that Ximen Dongliu actually did not know the location where the Zhenguo treasure was buried. The letter given by Prince Feng to Ximen Dongliu was a piece of white paper.
However, the old emperor was not only afraid that Ximen Dongliu would dig a treasure and rebel, but he was also afraid that Ximen Dongliu would not dig the treasure, so he had been waiting for the rabbit and did not move Dongliu Villa. After all, the old emperor wanted to enrich the treasury with treasure, and it was not so easy to move Dongliu Villa.
Because of this, the old emperor didn't want to quarrel with Ximen Dongliu. However, if the woman she met today is really Ximen Bingying, the daughter of Ximen Dongliu, then Ximen Dongliu must still misunderstand him.
Bingying didn't know the stakes at all. She washed away the easy-to-face medicine on her face with a mixture of water and instantly regained her original appearance.
"You, you, you..." When Bingying looked up, the old emperor suddenly stood up and was so shocked that he pointed to the woman opposite him. He couldn't say a complete word at all.
The attendants around the old emperor were also stunned and began to smack their tongues at the same time. No wonder it was rumored that the proposer broke through the threshold of Dongliu Villa, while Ximen Dongliu cherished his daughter and refused to marry her easily. There are also rumors that his daughter is three points better than his wife Lin Ruosu, but now it doesn't work out.
Although Lin Ruosu is also very beautiful, she is not as eye-catching as the woman in front of her, nor does she feel as suffocating as if she was taken away by her breath in an instant. Moreover, the woman in front of her is different from the beauty of ordinary women and cannot be described in words. Her beauty emanates from her bones and is called 'temperament'.
Well, if she is not the daughter of Ximen Dongliu, the emperor will try his best to accept her as a concubine. Unfortunately, she is, so the emperor will leave a regret. All the attendants thought so in their hearts, but absolutely no one dared to say it.
