In the Ling House's courtyard.
Ling Tian sat quietly in his secret chamber. He was flipping through the news that had just been sent back. A few of them caught his attention: One of the Six Great Families, the third young noble of the Nangong family, Nangong Lok, had set off for Sky Bearing half a month ago. It was rumored that he was here to propose marriage to the Yang Family.
Xiao family head, Xiao FengHan's son, Xiao ZhenYu, had entered the Southern Zheng ten days ago to visit one of the Six Great Families, the DongFang Family. (While the world was filled with the names of the Eight Great Families, Ling Tian's men were used to omitting the Yang Family from his list. The reason for omitting the Ling family was because he felt that his strength was not enough to be compared to the other families. As for the Yang Family, he did not place them in his eyes at all.)
What interested Ling Tian the most was the last piece of news: The Northern Wei Emperor had personally proposed marriage to Tamago on behalf of the Crown Prince, using the title of the Crown Prince's legal wife to marry the Jade Princess. However, he was rejected! The Jade Princess had decided to travel the continent to broaden her horizons. She had already set off from the Northern Wei, but her exact whereabouts were unknown!
Ling Tian held onto this piece of paper and could not help but fall into deep thought. No matter how big Tamago was, it was still located in the Northern Wei, which was under the jurisdiction of the Northern Wei Emperor. Just what did Tamago have to actually reject the Crown Prince's marriage proposal? Furthermore, it was under the circumstances where the Emperor had personally proposed marriage! This Tamago was indeed not simple! Furthermore, the last sentence of 'her whereabouts were unknown' had piqued Ling Tian's interest. Ling Tian naturally knew how vast the information network in his hands was. Even under his carpet search, the Jade Princess still reported that her whereabouts were unknown! Just what did this mean?
There were two explanations for this situation. First, the Jade Princess and her party did not come out at all. The travel was just an excuse to reject the royal family's proposal. Currently, they were still in Tamago. Second, the forces in Tamago had completely covered up the news and did not leak out at all. If it was the latter, it meant that Tamago's influence was far above Ling Tian's. That was why Ling Tian's intelligence network could not even get any information!
What a good Tamago! Ling Tian's face sank. Since she had the guts to reject the Emperor of the Northern Wei's proposal, why would she need to find an excuse? Then, the only possibility was the latter!
Since the Jade Princess had come out and Sky Bearing was so lively, it was highly likely that she was in Sky Bearing City! A smile appeared on Ling Tian's face. This matter is getting more and more lively and interesting! From the looks of it, this is really an opportunity for me!
Ling Tian's smile was extremely deep. If the Jade Princess had really come to Sky Bearing, then he would be able to see the tip of the iceberg of Tamago's strength from her entourage and her personal strength! This would be extremely beneficial for Ling Tian's next plan.
Ling Jiu sneakily looked at Ling Tian's expression and proposed his own opinion. If Ling Tian could bring the Jade Princess into his room, hehe … he would be able to turn a potential enemy into an ally.
With regards to this suggestion, Ling Tian dismissed it with a smile. If she did not meet his requirements, then even if she was the daughter of the Jade Emperor, she would still stand aside! While hegemony was important, his own love could not be sacrificed! Of course, if the Jade Princess was to Ling Tian's liking, then it would not be a problem.
The most important day had finally arrived!
Early in the morning, Ling Tian was personally dragged out from his bed by Chu Ting 'er. With a wave of her hand, five to six maids came over and dressed Ling Tian up meticulously from the inside to the outside! After a full two hours, they finally stopped under the satisfied gaze of Chu Ting 'er. When Ling Tian finally stepped out of the door, he felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders and he could finally see the light of day again. Before he stepped out of the residence, Chu Ting 'er chased after him. "Tian' er, you can provoke anyone else, but you must not take a fancy to the two princesses, Jin Feng and Jiao Yue. As your mother, I am not willing to go to the Emperor and be rebuffed."
Ling Tian immediately agreed and hurriedly called out to the few guards behind him. Ling Tian then left the house as though he was escaping. There was no need for him to wait for Wang Bo to come. He then flipped onto his horse and whipped his horse, leaving behind a cloud of dust. It was as though a monster would rush out of his house at any time.
His body was like jade, and his horse was like a dragon. Ling Tian was originally handsome and confident. With this deliberate dressing up, he was even more outstanding and attracted the attention of many people along the way. However, when they saw that it was the infamous Young Master Ling, they all turned their heads away in panic.
Two hours of dressing up! Oh my god! Ling Tian screamed in his heart! For Ling Tian, who usually took less than three minutes to wash his face, brush his teeth, and relieve himself after waking up, this two hours of dressing up was simply hell!
Behind him, the four guards glanced at the manor door in puzzlement. They had no idea what had happened to the usually fearless Young Master today. Could it be that he was too excited after hearing that the palace was filled with beauties and could not wait a moment longer? Everyone laughed strangely, then urged their horses to chase after him.
Every time Ling Tian came to the palace, he always felt an indescribable discomfort. This, this f * cking palace? Ling Tian really wished that he could bring the Emperor back to the 21st century and let him see the Forbidden City in Beijing. That was what a palace should be! What was this place?
It took up quite a lot of space. Ling Tian even felt that this palace was not as impressive as the Ling House that he had supervised and built!
Dismounting from his horse in front of the palace gates, Ling Tian instructed a few guards to follow the palace guards to the side courtyard, while he followed the two guards to Changle Palace.
The two guards leading the way recognized this Young Master Ling, and naturally tried to curry favor with him along the way.
"Prince Ling, Great General Ling, and the rest are currently at the Martial Virtue Hall. Does Young Master still want to go there?"
"What am I going there for? To find this old man and get beaten up? " Ling Tian recalled the expression on Ling Xiao's face when he came home two nights ago. If it wasn't for the fact that he was too tired, he would have been punished by the family law. Thinking of this, Ling Tian felt very depressed. No matter what, I am still your son. Why do you treat me as if I am your enemy all day long?
Hearing Ling Tian's words, the two guards snickered for a while.
Ling Tian walked forward and asked, "Which young masters have arrived before me today?"
One of the guards counted with his fingers. "Young Master Yang was the first. I heard that there was a Nangong young master, Young Master Li, Young Master Zhao, Young Master Liu, the two young masters of the Fu Family, Young Master Su …" As he spoke, there were already more than ten people!
Ling Tian rolled his eyes. "I dare to bet that this is the first time these fellows have woken up so early in the past few years. A bunch of disappointing things. "
The two guards smiled and nodded repeatedly. But in their hearts, they thought: If you were not disappointing, how could your name be so resounding now?
"Prince Ling, Changle Palace is just ahead. This lowly one will not accompany Prince Ling in. Young master, please help yourself." The two guards bowed and left. Ling Tian made an 'oh' sound and casually took out two banknotes. "Take these and drink. This young master will treat you."
"Many thanks, young master."
Just as Ling Tian walked into Changle Palace, two palace maids came up to greet him. After walking a few steps, he heard bursts of laughter and noise inside. Ling Tian frowned. These fellows, did they treat this palace as a brothel or a restaurant? Why were they each louder than the other?
As soon as he entered the palace, Ling Tian almost suspected that he had walked into the wrong place. Inside, there were groups of men everywhere. As for the so-called noble young ladies, he did not see a single one. Ling Tian knew almost all of these people. They were all the young masters of the various officials' families. In terms of debauchery, they could be compared to Ling Tian. Even if they were slightly worse, they would still be on the floor.
All of them were in high spirits, boasting to the heavens and the earth, spittle flying everywhere. They were obviously very interested in this Hundred Flower Festival. There were a few who were disappointing. Their crotch was already erect, ready to fight. Even if they were covered by long robes, they still stuck their heads out and showed their faces! Who knew what they were thinking.
Ling Tian could not help but stop in his tracks. He turned around and asked the two palace maids, "Is there a mistake? Is this a Hundred Flower Festival or a Hedonist Festival? "
