Murong Ke remembered who the Lei Guiren that Mingyu had mentioned was. When Mingyu was almost assassinated, it was that woman who had protected Mingyu. However, he had momentarily forgotten what she looked like. At that time, he had only glanced at her and did not really remember her appearance.
"Did she send someone to find you?" Murong Ke frowned slightly. He had forgotten to reward Lei Bingfu. Could it be that she wanted to remind him of this through Ming Yu?
"No, I took the initiative to look for her. Lei Guiren is quite comfortable on his own. He even makes a lot of food for himself," Ming Yu said. She had never seen a concubine like her.
Including Shen Huan 'er, all of the concubines were trying their best to adapt to the life in the harem. Only Lei Bingfu was enjoying herself. It was as if she was used to this kind of life and could find fun that suited her.
Murong Ke raised his eyebrows slightly. "You want to go karate with her?"
"That's right. There aren't many women in the palace who know how to cuju. It's rare that Noble Lei knows how to cuju. Imperial Father, please let us go to the cuju court." Ming Yu pleaded, "The weather today is very good."
"Let Xue Lin follow and increase the number of guards at the court." Murong Ke frowned. The latter sentence was directed at Song Jiong.
Ming Yu's eyes lit up. "Imperial Father, are you agreeing to let me and Lei Guiren go to the cuju field?"
Murong Ke laughed and nodded. "Only once."
"Thank you, Imperial Father." Ming Yu cheered. "I'll go tell Lei Guiren the good news."
Watching Ming Yu leave happily, Murong Ke called Ford in.
"Who is this Lei Guiren?" Murong Ke asked Fu De in a deep voice.
A few days ago, he had wanted to investigate this Lei Bingfu, but he had been so busy that he had forgotten about it. If Ming Yu had not come to find him, he would have forgotten to reward Lei Bingfu.
Fu De said, "Your Majesty, Lady Lei is from the Lei Clan of Wuling. Lady Lei is the eldest daughter of the Lei Clan and is quite famous in Wuling."
"So he's from Wuling." Murong Ke nodded slightly. "Pass my decree. Noble Lei has done a meritorious deed in saving the Princess. He will be promoted to Huipin."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ford replied.
Song Jiong glanced at Murong Ke. He felt that the Emperor was becoming more and more like an emperor. He couldn't tell how he felt about this. He was both gratified and a little regretful.
It was impossible for the Emperor to let go of Lu Yaoyao, but for the sake of the Jin Kingdom, he had to accept more concubines. In the future, he would become more and more like an emperor, and he would understand the art of balancing things.
He could no longer treat Murong Ke as the previous Pavilion Master.
Especially with the matter of Teng Ye almost rebelling, he had originally thought that there would be a way out.
"Your Majesty, this subject will send more people to the cuju field," Song Jiong said in a low voice.
Murong Ke waved his hand. "Go."
"Your Majesty, should the imperial concubines in the palace still be restricted?" Fu De asked in a low voice.
"No need. Lift the ban in the palace," Murong Ke said. The killers in the palace had been purged, so there was no need to restrict the freedom of those concubines.
Ford accepted the order and went to work.
Murong Ke returned to the Imperial Study and received a letter from Wasteland City.
Ye Chunnan and Yan Xiaoliu had arrived at Wasteland City. Because Beitang Yu was in Ming Xi's hands, the army at the border of the Northern Dark Kingdom did not dare to act rashly. They sent messengers to negotiate and wanted them to hand over Beitang Yu.
Ming Xi was returning to Jingdu City with Beitang Yu.
Teng Ye was seriously injured and was only hanging on to his last breath. It was likely that he would not be able to be sent to Jingdu City for interrogation.
Murong Ke sent a written order to Ye Chunnan to stay in Wasteland City. No one knew what would happen in the Northern Dark Kingdom next, and Wasteland City needed to be heavily guarded.
"Ming Xi is coming back, what about you?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice.
He still did not know where Mo Rongzhan and the others were now.
…
…
Ming Yu asked Lei Bingfu to accompany her to the cuju field. Seeing Lei Bingfu in a rose-red sparrow pattern narrow sleeved riding outfit, Ming Yu was surprised. "You look so good in red."
"No matter how good I look, I will be overshadowed when I stand next to you." Lei Bingfu was not trying to flatter Ming Yu. What she said was the truth. Ming Yu was only wearing a simple set of light green riding clothes, but she was already extremely beautiful. Standing under the sunlight, her entire person seemed to be as dazzling as spring.
"That's because you haven't seen my mother." Ming Yu raised her chin. "My mother is the world's most beautiful woman."
Lei Bingfu laughed. Of course she knew that Lu Yaoyao was the world's most beautiful woman. However, all beauties would pass their prime. Now, the number one beauty would probably change hands.
"Didn't you say there are others?" Lei Bingfu said with a smile.
"They're here." Ming Yu pointed to the other side of the cuju field. There were a few women leading horses over, waving at them from afar.
Ming Yu explained, "They were my former study companions. Now they are studying at the Women's College."
Lei Bingfu nodded. "They are younger than me. If I win, wouldn't it be an unfair victory?"
"Don't look down on them." Ming Yu glanced at Lei Bingfu. "Their riding skills are very good. Last time, they even won against the warriors from Ryukyu."
"Is that so? Then I'll have to ask for some advice, "Lei Bingfu said with a smile." However, I'm not very good at cuju. "
Ming Yu said, "It's just for fun. It's not a real competition."
"Princess, you're here." The four girls, who were only a few years older than Ming Yu, walked over and bowed to Ming Yu.
"This is Lei Guiren. Let's team up with her today." Ming Yu introduced Lei Bingfu.
The four girls that Ming Yu had called into the palace were her former study companions. The other one was someone she had met at the Women's College. Ming Yu liked her quite a bit, so she often called her into the palace to play.
Lei Bingfu sized up these girls who were two or three years younger than her. She couldn't help but smile. "It's not easy to meet like-minded people here. If I don't do well, please forgive me."
"Lei Guiren is too polite. We only get to play once in a while, so it might not be very good," Xie Lanyue said with a smile. She had a good impression of Lei Bingfu's straightforwardness. However, if Ming Yu liked her, she wouldn't be too bad.
When Murong Ke arrived at the cuju field, he saw a bright red figure playing cuju. Ming Yu and the other two girls couldn't stop her. Her figure was agile, and she moved left and right, dodging the cuju.
This girl … Murong Ke frowned. The other girls were Ming Yu's study companions. He recognized them. This girl in red was Lei Bingfu.
Under the sunlight, the girl's smile was bright, and her eyes were as bright as stars.
In this palace, other than Ming Yu, he had never seen anyone else smile so carefreely.
"Your Majesty, the princess and Lei Guiren are having a lot of fun," Fu De whispered from behind Murong Ke.
"Mn." He hadn't seen Ming Yu so happy in a long time.
