Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation
When Leng Ming brought Luo Xue to pay their respects before the emperor, the emperor was stunned for a moment. His two sons actually married twin sisters who looked so similar. This really gave him an indescribable feeling.
But if you think about it carefully, although Liu Luoxue grew up in the State of Chu, he is rather sensitive about her identity, but she is Liu Dechang's daughter after all, so he has to give the Buddha some consideration.
Besides, the daughter of the Duke of Protectorate married the prince of Daning State, which is considered a match made in heaven. Now that the fact has been established, the father should not make things difficult for them anymore.
So, he waved to the two people standing below,
"No need to be polite, Liu Xi, just present the gifts I prepared for them!"
Liu Xi bowed and accepted the order, then went to get the gift.
The Emperor looked at Luo Xue and asked kindly:
"Princess Ming, please don't blame me for not agreeing to your marriage with Ming'er. There are many reasons for this. I hope you won't hold a grudge against me."
Luo Xue clasped her fists and politely replied:
"I dare not. I know I have many problems. I understand your concerns. Now that I have become Leng Ming's official wife, I come here today to ask your permission."
Just four days after getting married, you already have something to ask for? The emperor's brows tightened in an instant.
He expected that Liu Luoxue would ask for a huge amount of money. It seemed that she was different from Liu Luolan.
Liu Luolan doesn't care about anything material. Liu Luoxue has lived in the State of Chu since childhood, so he must have great ambitions.
Thinking of this, he sighed, nodded with some disappointment, and said in a voice as cold as ice:
"If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Luo Xue glanced at Leng Ming and replied loudly:
"Your Majesty, Leng Ming is already twenty-three years old. He has been doing nothing for all these years. I beg Your Majesty to arrange a position for him."
So that's what it was?
The emperor suddenly wondered if he had wronged Liu Luoxue. He had long considered assigning Leng Ming a position, but because he wasn't married yet, he was afraid he might be unstable, so he hadn't put it into action.
Now after her reminder, the emperor nodded in agreement.
"Okay, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'll let Yu'er check if there are any vacancies in the court."
"Father, I know a vacancy that is perfect for Leng Ming."
The emperor looked at Liu Luoxue with surprise again. It seemed that this woman was waiting for him here. She would definitely ask for a high salary and want to arrange a very high position for Leng Ming. Her ambition was really too big.
The emperor's face instantly darkened. He looked at Luo Xue, a hint of coldness flashing across his eyes, and asked with an angry brow:
"Tell me, which position do you think is suitable for him?"
He had already made up his mind that if Luo Xue dared to say that she wanted to arrange a position for Leng Ming that would surpass his position in the heart of the emperor, he would definitely question her about her purpose in marrying Leng Ming.
Luo Xue did not notice the emperor's strange expression. She glanced at Leng Ming with her peripheral vision, a half-smile in her deep eyes, and she clasped her fists and replied:
"I think it would be most appropriate to have him guard the city gate."
As soon as she said this, Leng Ming looked at her as if he didn't understand, pointed at his nose, and asked in an incredulous tone:
"You said... let me guard the city gate?"
The emperor frowned and asked in confusion:
"You... are you talking about Ming'er? Did I hear it wrong?"
He originally thought that Luo Xue would ask for a high position for Leng Ming, but now it seems that her request is too low, which surprised him.
Luo Xue looked at Leng Ming, blinked a few times playfully, raised her chin and nodded,
"Yes, I said you should guard the city gate. You've never served in the imperial court before. If I rashly give you a position now, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. It would be better for you to start from the bottom. This way, you will gradually become familiar with the sufferings of the people. When you become an official in the future, you will also know how to benefit the people. When you have made progress, I believe that the emperor will give you a more suitable position."
Leng Ming still shook his head, and replied with a helpless smile:
"I... I'm a prince after all, the emperor's son. You want me to guard the city gate? If the people knew about this, wouldn't the royal family laugh their heads off? This is inappropriate, inappropriate..."
"There's nothing wrong with that. Sending the prince to guard the city gates proves that the emperor is a wise ruler. The people will certainly say that the emperor is a good emperor who allows his son to serve at the lowest level and mingle with the people. Besides, in ancient times, there was King Goujian of Yue who slept on firewood and tasted gall. Now, why should you be wronged by asking you to guard the city gates? Besides, ordinary people want to do the job of guarding the city gates but don't have the opportunity, yet you look down on it? Judging from this alone, you are a little too ambitious. You should hone your skills."
this……
Leng Ming seemed speechless. Before coming here, he never thought that Luo Xue would do this to him.
If he had known this, he should have discussed it with her before coming. Now, she made this request in front of the emperor and praised him highly. It would be strange if the emperor did not agree.
Thinking of this, he looked at the emperor with aggrieved eyes, hoping that his father would reject Luo Xue's request.
Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't even look at him, but nodded happily.
"I am pleased that Princess Ming has this idea. I will grant Princess Ming's request. Starting tomorrow, Ming'er, you will guard the city gate! By the way, you are not allowed to use your status to suppress others."
Leng Ming pursed his lips in displeasure, clasped his fists in grievance, and replied in a deep voice:
