After not receiving a reply for a long time, Lin Feng called out in confusion, "Prince?"
Xiao Moyan put away the bond pendant and said calmly, "Bring him to the study."
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded slightly.
Not long after, Lin Feng led Ling Lan, who hadn't taken off his armor yet, to the study. This time, Lin Feng didn't knock on the door. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pushed it open, making a gesture of invitation to Ling Lan: "General Ling, please."
Ling Lan nodded slightly and said in a cool voice, "Thank you for your help."
Lin Feng nodded politely and stood guarding the door.
Ling Lan walked into the study and saw the man in green standing with his hands behind his back. Without hesitation, he knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said, "Your humble servant Ling Lan, I have come to report to the prince."
Xiao Moyan reached out and opened the window. A breeze blew in instantly, mixed with a fresh bamboo scent, just like Xiao Moyan's temperament, elegant, tranquil, leisurely and comfortable.
"General Ling, please stand up." Xiao Moyan turned and looked at Ling Lan.
Ling Lan bowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
After that, Ling Lan slowly stood up and looked up at Xiao Moyan. The moment he saw Xiao Moyan, Ling Lan was distracted for a moment. The Xiao Moyan standing in front of him was elegant and calm, as cold as the moon. Compared with the regent king who held great power, he looked more like a person who was detached from the world.
Coming back to his senses, Ling Lan took out a memorial from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Moyan: "Your Highness, regarding the casualties and financial expenditures of the army, I have written down everything here. Please review it, Your Highness."
Xiao Moyan took a few steps towards Ling Lan, took the memorial from Ling Lan's hand, opened it, glanced at it, and then closed it: "General Ling, you have been exhausted from the journey. If there is nothing else, please go back and rest."
Ling Lan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."
Ling Lan took a few steps back before turning around and striding away.
At this time, Ji Xingzhi was sitting in Suju's room chatting. She had just heard Suju mention that Ling Lan was returning to the court today. She couldn't help but wonder why Wu Fang didn't follow her, otherwise she would have gone to join in the fun.
Just then, before the Zi Liao people arrived, a voice arrived: "Xue Zhao, have you heard? General Ling has returned to the court, and all the civil and military officials are welcoming him in West City. The people are flocking to West City. General Ling is coming in silver armor, riding a warhorse, followed by a long procession. It's a truly magnificent scene!"
Before he finished speaking, Zi Liao had already pushed the door open and walked in. He sat down next to Ji Xingzhi without caring about his image and poured himself a glass of water.
After drinking it, I felt that it was not enough to quench my thirst, so I poured myself two more cups and drank them, but still felt it was not enough. I thought the cups were too big, so I simply picked up the kettle, raised my head, opened my mouth wide, lifted the spout of the kettle to my mouth and drank it. I drank more than half of it before stopping.
Ji Xingzhi looked at Zi Liao, who looked like a thirsty ghost, and couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You really don't have any idol baggage at all."
Hearing this, Zi Liao turned to look at Ji Xingzhi. Seeing the genuine smile on Ji Xingzhi's face, Zi Liao was slightly stunned. He said blankly, "Xue Zhao, you look really good when you smile."
After hearing this, Ji Xingzhi glared at Zi Liao in a feigned anger and said, "I'm handsome!"
Zi Liao shook his head helplessly and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Ji Xingzhi nodded in satisfaction. Thinking of what Zi Liao had said when he first came, Ji Xingzhi's eyes flashed. She looked at Zi Liao with ill intent and asked, "Do you admire General Ling?"
Looking at Ji Xingzhi's sparkling eyes, Zi Liao couldn't help but step back and asked, "What, what happened?"
"Zi Liao, you are so thick-skinned and have so many clever ideas. It should be easy for you to make friends with General Ling, right? That way, I can also take advantage of it and become friends with the general." Ji Xingzhi said.
