Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

 Chapter 473 Pei Yunqian receives high regard

Time flies. After Li Yu and Shen Jingxuan’s wedding is arranged, Qingluan will also marry to Jiangdong.

The etiquette is complicated when a princess comes out. Fortunately, the Ministry of Etiquette takes care of it, so Jing Shu doesn’t have to worry too much. Although Qingluan made a mistake, she is a princess after all, and Jing Shu doesn’t want to look too ugly.

Before Qingluan left Jiangdong, Jingshu persuaded Li Ling to allow her to enter the palace for the banquet.

At the banquet, Jingshu invited all the family members of the Duke of Zhenguo to the palace. Li Ling was fed up with this shameless sister. For the sake of the Duke, although he reluctantly attended the palace banquet, his face was full of shame. Lightly.

Even the female relatives in the palace have long been frightened by Qingluan, the delicate old princess. Although a banquet was held for her, no one dared to talk to Qingluan, for fear that any casual words would make her cry again. It went on and on, the palace was such an important place that it couldn't be compared to other places, and no one wanted to get into trouble. Fortunately, Li Jinyan found out that she was pregnant, and the female relatives all pulled her to ask questions.

The old lady was the only one who took the trouble to chat with Qingluan. The old man told Qingluan about the customs and customs in Jiangdong and everyone in the Mu Palace. The old man wanted his granddaughter to live a happy life and wished he could Give birth to two more mouths and let your granddaughter know all the affairs of her mother's family in advance.

It's a pity that the speaker is intentional but the listener is unintentional. Qingluan's mind is not on her future husband's family at all. She is sitting at the bottom, but her eyes are fixed on the person at the top.

Regrettably, Li Ling did not even look at her until the palace banquet was over.

After the palace banquet dispersed, Qingluan followed the palace's female family members out of the inner palace in despair. As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they saw a group of young men in purple clothes heading towards the imperial city led by the chamberlain.

When Brother Kun saw these people, the young man's eyes shone brightly and he shouted: "Mother, these people are the military generals selected from this year's martial arts examination. Look at how majestic they are." After speaking, Brother Kun said to Pingyang : "Third Aunt, the cousin of the Pei family who is walking at the front is the top martial arts scholar of this year. I want to get acquainted with him. Can Third Aunt help me introduce him?"

Brother Kun has been motivated and martial since he was young. Pingyang looked at his nephew and agreed with a smile.

As the group of people approached, Pei Yunqian stopped before Pingyang could speak. He was already handsome, and now he was wearing a purple military uniform, which made Pei Yunqian's face even more handsome and heroic.

Pei Yunqian stood not far from Pingyang. He looked at Pingyang politely and said politely: "Cousin, did you just come out of the palace?"

Pingyang replied: "Princess Qingluan is about to leave. Today, the empress has invited us to the palace for a banquet."

With that said, she looked at Pei Yunqian and congratulated with a smile: "My cousin won the martial arts competition, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet."

Pei Yunqian smiled and replied: "Pei is not talented, but he is just promoted by the Holy Spirit."

Pingyang pushed Brother Kun over and introduced to Pei Yunqian: "This is my nephew, his name is Li Kun. This child has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he would like to ask his cousin for advice."

Pei Yunqian looked at Brother Kun and guessed that he was the eldest son of Li Xian, an important minister in the cabinet. He said modestly: "Pei is not talented. If Mr. Li is interested, he can come to my humble residence at any time to learn from each other."

Brother Kun bowed to Pei Yunqian respectfully and replied: "When my cousin is free, I will definitely go to the house to disturb him. I hope my cousin will not hesitate to give me some advice."

Pei Yunqian agreed, and Pingyang said: "The days are long, and my cousin is in a hurry to enter the palace to meet the saint. There is no need to delay, so hurry up and follow the chamberlain to the palace."

Pei Yunqian then left everyone and headed towards the imperial city.

Since Li Ling came to power, he has been determined to reform and vigorously promote young and promising people regardless of their origins. This has opened the door for many children from poor families or former criminal officials to serve the country by becoming officials.

Pei Yunqian and other young people who had stood out from the military examinations followed the chamberlain into the Qinzheng Hall. They all knelt down and saluted the emperor. After the emperor ordered them to refrain from saluting, everyone stood aside with their hands down.

Li Ling raised his eyes and looked at the young people who stood out in the martial arts competition one by one. He asked: "Who is Pei Yunqian?"

Pei Yunqian came out of the queue and replied: "I am just a humble minister."

Li Ling said: "I have read your review of the art of war, and it makes sense." The talents selected by the martial arts examinations should not only be elite archers and horses, but Li Ling is more concerned about whether these people have military talents. What the country needs is to train people into generals who can arrange troops and lead them to fight.

Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was a well-known military marshal in the world. He used troops like a **** and was once revered as the "God of War" by the people of Qi.

 This emperor was an expert in using troops to fight.

Pei Yunqian did not dare to be careless in front of Li Ling. After listening to Li Ling's question, he knew the true purpose of the saint's words. Pei Yunqian did not blindly humble himself, so he explained one by one the key points in the art of war that he had presented in his martial arts test. Talk to Li Ling.

After hearing this, Li Ling nodded slightly and said: "You are quite right in your understanding, but you have never been in battle before, so there are some exaggerations in this."

Pei Yunqian quickly replied: "I hope your Majesty will give me some advice."

Li Ling looked at Pei Yunqian with bright eyes and said: "To use soldiers, you must not only be familiar with the art of war, but also have experience in battle. You are a rare general. It would be a pity to be a stable general in the capital."

Pei Yunqian said: "I am willing to listen to your Majesty's orders."

Li Ling thought for a moment. He did not immediately give Pei Yunqian any errand, but asked again: "Your Pei family used to be a scholarly family. Now you are engaged in martial arts, but are you willing? Or are you forced by the situation?"

This question is both true and pointed.

Pei Yunqian thought for a moment and replied truthfully: "It was true that I was forced to join the military force by the situation, but now I do it willingly."

Li Ling nodded at Pei Yunqian, and then asked the other generals one by one. After everyone left, he already had plans for these people.

At this time, Li Xiang came in to reply. Since Li Ling ascended the throne, he has promoted this younger brother to the emperor's chamberlain, and he has been appointed as the left commander of the Royal Forest Army.

When Li Ling saw his younger brother, he smiled and said smoothly: "I just announced my meeting with Pei Yunqian. Speaking of which, is he still related to the Pingyang family?"

 Speaking, Li Ling couldn't help but praise: "His family has been in poverty since he was a child. I didn't expect that this person has an extraordinary mind and is a rare general."

　　"What a general is, he is just an arrogant person."

Li Ling suddenly saw his brother acting like this, and he wondered: "What? Have you ever dealt with this Pei Yunqian?"

Li Xiang had just heard Li Ling praise Pei Yunqian so much that he accidentally blurted it out. Now he realized that he had been discourteous, and he hurriedly replied: "My brother, I am discourteous."

Li Ling smiled and said it was okay.

Li Xiang added: "My brother has indeed dealt with Pei Yunqian. My brother is not as discerning as my brother, but I don't see what talent he has. I just think he is arrogant, rude and arrogant."

Li Xiang has a gentle temperament. Even though he is now a close minister of the emperor, he still always looks gentle and never does evil to others.

Li Ling saw that his younger brother mentioned Pei Yunqian with such hostility, he smiled and said: "What happened to you today? He is so prejudiced against Pei Yunqian. Has he ever offended you?"
