After discussing Ling Yunshen’s marriage, Ling Hua prepared a car and entered the palace.

Xiao Ze was playing chess with the emperor in the emperor's imperial study. When he heard that she was coming, the emperor said the word "Xuan".

Xiao Ze snorted in his heart and said to the emperor, "Father, Ling Hua has come to the palace to look for you recently. Are you too diligent?"

The emperor left a son and said without raising his head, "Not much, according to the night Xiao Zhen returned to Beijing, I have not seen her for eight or nine days in this flash."

Xiao Zhen thought about it and said, "In previous years, she had not been in the capital so diligently and never went to the palace for a month."

"In previous years, there were many things this year." The emperor pointed out Xiao Ze's move, "You are not doing this right, and you are absent-minded in playing chess with me. What are you thinking in your mind?"

Xiao Ze woke up, "I thought my second brother had been recuperating for many days. I didn't know that my injury was cured. My brother wanted to visit his residence, but my second brother didn't seem to like me."

"He was not a likable person before, but now he has suffered a great disaster and is even more broken." Seeing Xiao Ze make a move again, the emperor was satisfied and said casually, "If you don't see you, you won't see you. Don't pay attention to him."

Xiao Ze pursed his lips.

If it were before, the emperor would never say this. Now, the emperor calmly told him not to pay attention to Xiao Zhen. Of course, Xiao Zhen had never been given a heavy responsibility in the capital before, nor had he been so seriously injured.

Xiao Zhen is now brave and has incorporated the great guards given to him by his father into his mansion. Then, he erected a high wall to his mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or see anyone. It is said that the day before yesterday, his father sent Eunuch Zhao to visit him, but he was brave enough to refuse. He said he could not see him, but his father was not angry either.

Can he ignore it? How could he not panic?

Today he came to visit his father's attitude, but he never expected that his father had this attitude.

Ling Hua entered the imperial study room and saw the father and son sitting on chess at a glance. She bent her knees and greeted her. The emperor looked up at her and waved his hand, "Flat."

Ling Hua stood up straight.

The emperor asked, "Is there something important?"

"No." Ling Hua shook his head.

The emperor nodded, ordered Eunuch Zhao to give him a seat, and then said to Ling Hua, "Since there is nothing important, you should sit here and wait for a while, and wait until I and the prince finish this game of chess, and then talk to you."

Ling Hua has no objection.

Half of the chess game on the table were played, the emperor's chess style was as calm as ever, while the prince Xiao Ze's chess style was a bit messy.

Ling Hua looked at it and said, "Your Highness the Prince's chess skills have regressed."

Xiao Ze glanced at him, "Why don't you say that your father's chess skills have improved?"

Ling Hua smiled, "According to me, Your Majesty's chess skills are as always, without any improvement or regression, but His Royal Highness's chess skills are regression."

She said bluntly, "It's not just a step back, but also a lot of step back. Your Majesty can beat you within three steps. Your Highness will lose badly in this game."

Xiao Ze came to play chess with the emperor today as a pretext, just to find out the emperor's attitude. Now seeing the emperor's attitude towards Xiao Zhen, he himself was even more irritable. Even if the emperor said he was absent-minded, he could not save the situation for a while and forced himself to win over the emperor. "The chess skills of this palace are taught by the father. I haven't played for a long time and have become unfamiliar."

The implication is that what can be embarrassing if I lose to my father?

Ling Hua joked about him, "It is said that when His Majesty was very young, he taught chess skills step by step. It took His Majesty a lot of effort. Now that the prince has grown up, he still cannot surpass his blue. A game of chess can still lose so badly under His Majesty's hands. I believe that His Majesty is really disappointed to play chess with His Majesty, you are playing chess with His Majesty."

Xiao Ze was angry, "You and your father have never won, so what qualifications do you have to say to me?"

The emperor's chess skills were taught by masters of chess skills, and were one of the few talents of the emperor. Ordinary subjects really could not beat the emperor.

Ling Hua shrugged, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, are you wrong? Your Majesty has not taught me to play chess since I was a child. I can't beat Your Majesty. What's so strange about me? I am not Your Majesty."

Xiao Ze choked.

The emperor laughed, "Okay, I'll pinch you when I meet. Do you two still let me finish this game of chess?"

Ling Hua smiled kindly, "Your Majesty, you have three moves left, and you can beat His Royal Highness the Prince. The winning or losing of this game has been revealed, and there is no need to continue, right?"

Xiao Ze immediately said, "I can still save the defeat."

Ling Hua was not optimistic, "I think you are in trouble."

Xiao Ze wished he could strangle Ling Hua to death. She said this pun, was she unable to do anything to Xiao Zhen? He just disbelief, "A true gentleman who can't speak for chess, shut up."

Ling Hua refused to shut up and just acted as an annoying person, not afraid of being angry to death. "Minister is not a gentleman, but a woman."

A woman's tongue is already too gossipy.

Xiao Ze: “…”

He wanted to strangle Ling Hua to death.

The emperor laughed angrily, pushed the chessboard and waved his hand to Xiao Ze, "Sit aside, Ling Hua, since there is no hurry, come and accompany me to the next game. I will see your level, how much better than him now?"

Xiao Ze stood up unwillingly and moved aside, "I will also see if your chess skills are improved."

Ling Hua stood up unceremoniously, took over Xiao Ze's position, sat opposite the emperor, picked up the chess piece, turned to Xiao Ze and returned the original words, "Your Highness, the true gentleman who watched the chess without saying anything."

Xiao Ze held his breath, "I am the prince."

Ling Hua raised his eyebrows, "Can the prince be a gentleman?"

Xiao Ze choked again.

Ling Hua never lost a fight, otherwise Xiao Ze would not hate her every time he saw her, and she would not have scolded her for being sharp-tongued.

Even in front of His Majesty, Ling Hua never restrained most of the time.

Xiao Ze remembered that three years ago, Ling Hua first took charge of the Jiangnan canal transportation. At that time, Ling Hua even gave him some face in front of his father. Later, as the Eastern Palace faction was involved in the Jiangnan canal transportation, she became more and more fiercely, Ling Hua gradually stopped restraining her. Anyway, his father knew that they were fighting fiercely.

The father always practiced the art of checks and balances, and he made a ruthless fuss, and each beat the fifty-odd one. He didn't make a ruthless fuss, and he said something lightly, just like now, just one sentence, just to stop pinching them.

Xiao Ze stopped talking. Ling Hua made him angry for a moment and knew his composure before His Majesty, so he stopped talking and focused on playing chess with the emperor.

Ling Hua likes to play fast chess most of the time, but today, she wants to deliberately criticize Xiao Ze's temperament, so she makes a slow move.

After playing half a game of chess, the emperor praised Ling Hua for three times, "This is a good step."

Xiao Ze's face was very heavy, and he had to admit that Ling Hua was indeed better than hers.

After playing a game of chess for half an hour, Ling Hua lost by one stroke. She smiled and said, "Every time I play with Your Majesty, I will lose to Your Majesty one stroke, which shows that my chess skills are just like this."

The implication is that Your Majesty is still the same. I am right, because His Royal Highness has retreated.

The emperor nodded and glanced at Xiao Ze, "When you go back and practice your chess skills, why are you getting worse and worse?"

Xiao Ze should be.

The emperor waved his hand, "You go down!"

Xiao Ze looked at Ling Hua, remembered her in his heart, and stepped back.

After Xiao Ze retreated, the emperor asked Ling Hua, "What are you looking for me?"

Ling Hua smiled and said, "My third brother is already at the age of marriage. It happened that the Prince's Mansion of Leping County was choosing a son-in-law for Rong'an County. I helped to make this marriage happen. I came to tell Your Majesty that if Your Majesty has no objection, I will go to Changning Palace later and ask my grandmother to give a marriage decree."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "That girl Ling Yunshen and Qingyu?"

Ling Hua nodded, "That's right."

The emperor laughed, "Why did you put them together? I heard that Qingyu was very afraid of him."

Ling Hua was not surprised that the emperor knew this. Since she took over the Jiangnan canal transportation, everyone in the Ling family was under the control of His Majesty. The Prince's Mansion of Leping County has been walking with the Ling family for many years, and His Majesty also knew it, especially her third brother gave her the capital's industry, which was even more concerned by His Majesty.

She smiled and said, "She was afraid that my third brother would hit the palm of his palm, but because of her harsh conditions, my third brother just met her conditions for choosing a son-in-law. So, based on my third brother's strengths and weaknesses, overall, my third brother's strengths outweigh the shortcomings, so she agreed."

The emperor asked, "What are the harsh conditions for choosing a son-in-law? Let's hear it."

Ling Hua smiled and said Xiao Qingyu's conditions for choosing a son-in-law.

The emperor was amused after hearing this, "Well, it's true that according to her request, I really can't pick out a few in the capital."

The emperor waved his hand, "I have no objection, please ask the Empress Dowager to issue an imperial edict! You are not only looking for me for this matter, right? But there is anything else?"
