Lü Qiling is a serious person!
But I still couldn't help laughing. The name, combined with the emperor's tone, sounded so outrageous—it sounded like a horse...
Consort Ma!
horse!
Hehehe!
Forehead!
Cai Yan was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but laugh. The name was indeed a bit inelegant, or at least it sounded a little off.
"Waaaaah!"
Startled by the mocking laughter, Ma Ling'er sensed something was wrong and her face turned green. She shook her head repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, the name 'Consort Ma' is really unpleasant to hear. How about 'Consort Ling' instead?"
"No, no, this Consort Ling seems to be dead already," Lin Yi said speechlessly.
"Lingfei... hehehe..."
Lü Qiling's demonic laughter rang out again. This concubine seemed to come from the underworld; she was a concubine from hell.
Wow!
Ma Ling'er was heartbroken. Why was she so unlucky? If she had such two names, wouldn't she be laughed at for the rest of her life? That was absolutely unacceptable.
Seeing Lü Qiling laughing so hard she could barely breathe, she became even angrier. This was supposed to be her boss, yet she dared to make fun of her.
She gritted her teeth and said, "So what if I'm called Consort Ling? You're still called Consort Ling, aren't you? You're laughing at me."
ah?
Lü Qiling's smile vanished abruptly, and she froze in shock.
Ma Ling'er!
Lü Qiling!
That's really the same! This is problematic. If she's not called Lingfei, but Qifei, that's practically an insult to her dignity, and that's unacceptable.
Cough cough!
She coughed twice and chuckled dryly, " Ling'er, I have no intention of becoming a concubine. I'll just be a general from now on. You can have this position as Consort Ling."
My lady is a strong woman, why should she be ridden?
"Pah! I'm not going to be a Noble Consort anymore! I'm the Tiger-Subduing Holy Maiden, why should I be called a Spirit Consort?" Ma Ling'er angrily bit Lin Yi, fuming.
Lin Yi's constitution was such that this bite couldn't hurt him at all; instead, it left him with a tingling, numb feeling.
He pressed down on Ma Ling'er's head and said irritably, "You little rascal, once you've mastered the Great Liang script, I'll bestow upon you the title of Consort Hui, is that alright?"
This title of exceptional intelligence is well-deserved, isn't it?
Having such a lively character at home is quite interesting; at least it can keep you in a good mood.
" Consort Hui?"
Ma Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately beamed with joy, nodding and saying, "Thank you for the imperial bestowal. From now on, I will be Consort Hui. You can leave Consort Ling to Sister Lü."
Although this title has nothing to do with his name, it sounds very wise; this name has to be reliable.
"Am I Consort Ling?"
Lü Qiling's lips twitched, and she muttered to herself, "No, I must find a way to go to the battlefield and become a great general. If I become the emperor's woman, wouldn't that be like becoming a concubine in the underworld?"
Depend on!
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. This woman was simply outrageous. What did she mean by "a concubine of the underworld"? It seemed he needed to find a chance to teach her a lesson, otherwise she wouldn't know what it meant to rule the All Under Heaven.
Just then, Anne hurried back, holding a letter in her hand.
"Your Majesty, I've finished writing."
"Yes, Yingge, arrange for the fastest pigeon to deliver it to Frostwest!"
Lin Yi nodded, took the letter, and handed it to Yingge, who was waiting nearby, instructing her to make the arrangements.
Whether this letter can save Bill III depends on his own fate.
If he still dies after that, then it can only be said that his father-in-law was destined to die, and there's no one to blame but Anne and herself.
Yingge immediately went down to make the arrangements.
She mostly had access to the most urgent intelligence, while the more common intelligence was usually controlled by the Net secret intelligence network), so it was quite easy for her.
After dealing with the letter, Lin Yi pulled Anne into his arms and comforted her, "Don't worry, good people are always protected by heaven. I believe your father will be alright."
Let's hope so!
Anne, preoccupied with her own thoughts, forced a smile upon hearing this.
Lin Yi nodded and sighed, "I'll sleep with you tonight, so you won't have insomnia."
After waking up, Lin Yi stretched his body.
He went to great lengths to comfort Princess Anne last night, finally helping her out of her depression; he did a truly meritorious deed.
After being dressed with the help of palace maids, Lin Yi left the inner palace, intending to go out for a stroll.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the inner palace, they saw Wang Yue waiting there.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
No need for formalities!
Lin Yi waved his hand and laughed, "What is it that makes you so eager to see me? Has my father-in-law died?"
Wang Yue shook his head, looking puzzled, and said, "Your Majesty, you'll understand when you see this."
oh?
Lin Yi stared blankly at the intelligence reports in his hand for a moment before beginning to examine them.
But as he looked at him, his gaze became strange.
[A small southwestern kingdom, threatened by our large army, has begun discussing seeking refuge with the Great Liang. Its envoy has already headed north.]
With the help of Nan Ke and his son, the situation in Great Liang has been largely stabilized, and the Edification Corps has entered Daxin Pass.
[ Zan Rihong provided a list of survivors from the Zhennan, capturing all the upper echelons of the Zhennan and reaping countless rewards.]
[ Gan Ning led his navy westward, where he encountered a money-giving boy at sea who gifted him a large amount of wealth. In return, Gan Ning offered him a blessing.]
[They moved Land of the Far West, supposedly because they were robbed at sea, so they came directly here.]
Gan Ning Win People Over with Virtue and successfully subdued the pirate leader Zhang Zizai, whose 5,000 men have now submitted to the Great Liang.
None of the above news was surprising, as there had been some prior indications, and Zhang Liao's victory report had also included some information about it, so he was not surprised.
Gan Ning, on the other hand, encountered a money-giving boy, which made his lips twitch.
At first glance, this news seems reasonable, but when combined with the following intelligence report, it somehow feels surprisingly consistent.
He said irritably, "This 'money-bringing boy' thing is so outrageous, could he be from the Land of the Far West?"
"Forehead!"
Wang Yue smiled wryly upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "Your Majesty is indeed wise. When General Gan Ning was sailing at sea, he encountered a mysterious fleet. The other party's ships weren't very advanced, but they were gleaming with gold, so Gan Ning greeted them, and they gave him everything."
Depend on!
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. He didn't believe that the mysterious fleet was so generous as to give all the treasures to Gan Ning. He guessed that the guy had just robbed him.
If the enemy ships are not advanced, they will naturally be no match for the warships of Great Liang and will only be destined to be crushed.
However, there was one thing Lin Yi was curious about: what kind of blessing did Gan Ning send?
Wang Yue's face stiffened, and he handed over another note.
[You grandsons, remember this: Abaddon of Ox Head Mountain, Great West Empire. Come and fight me if you dare!]
Grass!
Lin Yi's lips twitched, and he chuckled dryly, "No wonder they approached the Great West Empire; it turns out it was because of Gan Ning's blessing. Well done!"
