The commander-in-chief is handsome and charming

Ling Yun brought Shen Qingdai and followed Zhang Yuan into the palace.

Turning his head to look at the familiar scenery, Ling Yun gently held Shen Qingdai's hand.

He asked casually, "Your Majesty, who will be attending this banquet?"

"My Lord, besides you and your wife, there are also General Dingguo and his son, Lord Sun who just joined the Ministry of Personnel, and Master Cui Xiang from the capital!"

"Sun Changfeng and the others are back?" Ling Yun raised his eyebrows slightly?

"Yes!" Zhang Yuan nodded with a smile.

Ling Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.

Of course, Sun Changfeng and Cheng Ruyi also participated in the final battle.

However, neither of them held an official position, so Ling Yun sent people to protect them secretly.

Even when Ling Yun came back, he asked someone to secretly inform the two of them.

She took Shen Qingdai with her in a carriage along the way.

But it was later than the other two.

When Shen Qingdai heard about the people at the banquet, her heart tightened.

But Ling Yun didn't care at all.

The former, Shen Qingdai, has come all the way here.

It was not surprising to see that Zhang Yuan was walking towards the Imperial Garden.

The young emperor never liked being restrained, so it was normal to hold a banquet in the imperial garden with just a few people.

Sure enough, it went around two corridors in a row.

Then he saw the little emperor's ceremonial guard standing in an open space not far away.

In addition to his, there are also those of the Queen.

Ling Yun turned his head to look at Shen Qingdai, and glanced at Sun Changfeng and others who were standing respectfully on the side.

He pulled Shen Qingdai forward and greeted her.

"Your Majesty, I, Ling Yun, wish you a long life, and a thousand years for your Majesty!"

After she performed this great ceremony, Shen Qingdai of course followed suit and bowed down.

Just as the ceremony was completed, the little emperor's voice came from above his head.

"Get up, get up, sit down!"

The voice was quite casual. As Ling Yun stood up, he pulled up Shen Qingdai beside him.

The little emperor paused with his gaze on Shen Qingdai.

He smiled and nodded, "I know you must be with your wife, so I specially called the queen as well."

After saying that, he patted the Queen's hand and said, "Queen, I'll leave the position of Lady Zhenguo to you."

"I will have a good chat with Lingyun today." The little emperor's voice fell.

The queen smiled and stood up, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

After saying that, she looked at Ling Yun jokingly and said, "Lord Ling, don't worry. I will definitely not bully her."

These words made Shen Qingdai blush.

Ling Yun was very calm. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Just as she finished thanking him, the Queen nodded to Shen Qingdai and said, "Madam Hou, please come with me and sit over there."

"I asked someone to prepare a few side dishes, and we can have a good chat."

Since she had already asked, Shen Qingdai naturally would not refuse.

He bowed his head and saluted, then his eyes swept over Sun Changfeng and the others, finally falling on Ling Yun.

The latter nodded gently at her.

Until Shen Qingdai left with the Queen.

The little emperor smiled and waved his hand, "Sit down, everyone!"

"Today I have specially arranged a welcome for you..." He waved his hand at Zhang Yuan.

The food and drinks were served quickly.

The little emperor pointed at the wine pot and said, "I specially asked someone to prepare the September Red that you like."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ling Yun followed and bowed.

But the atmosphere is always a little weird.

Zhang Yuan just filled the wine glass, and the little emperor looked at Ling Yun and said, "Try it."

Ling Yun looked at the little emperor without extending his hand.

Cheng Gang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that this September Red was specially sent as tribute from the south, but I haven't tasted it yet."

"Would you mind giving me a drink?"

As he said this, he raised his hand and pressed down Ling Yun's wrist.

The little emperor looked at Cheng Gang who had a nervous face, and then looked at Cheng Ruyi who was also nervous beside him.

Then he glanced at Sun Changfeng, who had a tense look on his face, and Cui Xiang, who looked bewildered.

Finally, he smiled and looked at Ling Yun, "Ling Yun, what do you think?"

The little emperor leaned back in his chair, the smile on his lips not reaching his eyes.

Ling Yun just followed suit and laughed.

"Uncle Cheng, this wine is a reward from His Majesty, so naturally I should drink it." As he said this, he smiled at Cheng Gang.

The wrist then broke free.

Before Cheng Gang could react, he tilted his head back and drank the drink in his hand.

"Ling..." Cheng Gang raised his hand.

Ling Yun's wine glass was already on the table. "It's really good wine. This wine..."

Ling Yun suddenly stopped talking halfway.

But the little emperor smiled happily and said, "This is the first time we drank this wine. You stole it from your father."

"I was trapped in the palace at that time and it was difficult for me to even fill my stomach..." He said it without any hesitation.

Cheng Gang and the others lowered their heads in a hurry.

The little emperor changed the subject and looked at Sun Changfeng, "Say what you said to me again in front of Lingyun."

After the little emperor said this, Sun Changfeng's face turned even darker.

Then he knelt down on one side with a plop. "Your servant, Sun Changfeng, impeaches Ling Yun for being arrogant and self-centered..."

This series of words made the situation at the border clear.

Ling Yun slowly poured himself another glass of wine.

After thinking about it, he filled a glass for Cheng Gang beside him.

After filling Cheng Gang's cup, he gestured to Cheng Ruyi and handed over the wine jug.

Cheng Ruyi: ...

He gritted his teeth and looked at Sun Changfeng, then looked at Ling Yun who didn't care much.

He took the wine jug silently.

But he didn't drink.

He just put the wine jug beside him with a sullen face.

The little emperor looked at Ling Yun's indifferent attitude.

He looked at Sun Changfeng who was kneeling straight, and said calmly, "Lingyun, what little Lord Sun said is basically true, right?"

"You beat up the generals I sent over, and teamed up with Cui Xiang to open several shops..."

"With Cui Xiang's ability, can he support your Ling family army?"

After the little emperor finished speaking, Cui Xiang lowered his body and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am your student..."

He had just started to speak when the little emperor raised his hand slightly to silence him.

His eyes only fell on Ling Yun's face.

"Your Majesty, it's completely true!" Ling Yun did not hide anything.

After all, people were beaten and money was earned.

"Your Majesty, I was the one who beat that man!" Cheng Ruyi gritted his teeth and glared at Sun Changfeng, kneeling on one side with an angry look on his face.

"Your Majesty, if you want to kill me, just come to me. My elder brother..."

"Lord Ling was only implicated by Sun Changfeng and me at that time. Sun Changfeng was even more ruthless than me." Cheng Ruyi muttered in a low voice.

Ling Yun suppressed his smile and looked at the little emperor with his lips pursed.

At this moment, the little emperor lowered his head and looked at the people kneeling on the ground.

Then look at Ling Yun and Cheng Gang, the only ones sitting at the table.

Although the former pursed his lips, the smile in his eyes was not concealed at all.

The latter's face was tense and he was obviously very nervous.

Raising his hand slightly, Zhang Yuan hurried forward to pour the wine.

The little emperor looked at the full cup of wine, turned his head to look at Ling Yun, and slowly raised the cup in his hand.

"Ling Hou, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

He raised his glass, and Ling Yun unceremoniously picked up the glass and touched it lightly.

Then he raised his head and drank it down neatly. "Your Majesty, I will leave it to you."

After saying this, he lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down.
