Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Lin Pingzhi looked at Zhu Xuanyuan, who was carefully decorated in palace attire, and couldn't help smiling.

Sure enough, people depend on clothes, and horses depend on saddles.

Zhu Xuanyuan in front of her was decorated by the palace people and put on her princess gown. Although her words were capricious, her demeanor and appearance did look like a princess, not like a wild girl that night.

It's just that Lin Pingzhi was a little self-deprecating. In terms of age, if he listened to his parents' words that he would marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, his daughter must be not a few years younger than her.

At his own age, this girl in her early ten years called him "brother", which really made him even more uncomfortable.

But after thinking about it, he was right.

If you call him uncle, then you are on the same level as the emperor, which is arrogance and disrespect.

After all, the ethic relationship between father and minister cannot be changed.Even if he is older than the emperor, the emperor is still a father in terms of Confucian "jurisprudence", and the courtiers are always a generation younger than him.So it was right for the little princess to call him "brother".

Zhu Xuanyuan walked towards Lin Pingzhi with small and decent steps.

When it comes to the upbringing of a lady, my wife Liu Jing is at the top, but Liu Jing is a civilian girl after all, and her training is always inferior to that of a real nobleman.

Even though Zhu Xuanyuan is only in her early ten years, when she is not making trouble or playing wild, her decent behavior is not bad, better than Liu Jing.

When Zhu Xuanyuan came to Lin Pingzhi, she took the jug from the hand of the maid, and poured the wine for him in a decent manner.

After that, he looked at Lin Pingzhi with starry eyes, and handed him the wine glass.

Zhu Xuanyuan said: "Lingyun, thank you Lord Lin for saving your life."

Lin Pingzhi also respectfully accepted the wine she handed over, and then drank it down.

Then Zhu Xuanyuan changed her coquettishness just now, and then saluted her father, mother, and elder brother in turn, and then said: "Lingyun trespassed on the imperial banquet, please forgive me. I dare not disturb my father's elegance, I beg you The emperor has allowed the son to retire."

Emperor Wanli was very happy to see that his well-mannered daughter did not embarrass him. He said, "Yes! Allow me to play. Let me step down."

Zhu Xuanyuan didn't stay longer, but retreated respectfully, but just took another look at Lin Ping before leaving.

Seeing her precious daughter's expression, she remembered the story of Lin Pingzhi that the emperor had told her before.

Immediately, Concubine Zheng had an idea in her heart to help Lin Pingzhi get out of court.Although she was a little bit reluctant, there was nothing wrong with her daughter practicing with him.

Although the court spoke heavily about Lin Pingzhi's romantic nature, the emperor would definitely not allow his daughter to be by such a man's side.

But after several days of observation, Concubine Zheng could see that Lin Pingzhi was not a womanizer.His flirtatiousness was just pretending, maybe he just wanted to "polliate himself" to win the trust of the emperor.

There have been examples of capable ministers "self-pollution" to avoid disasters since ancient times. Although Zheng Guifei was born in a family, although she is not well-versed in the past and present, she still remembers the story of Xiao He and the tragedy of Han Xin.

Regarding Lin Pingzhi's behavior, Zheng Guifei did not expose the emperor.

And her method of seeing through Lin Pingzhi's little trick is also very simple, that is to use herself.

Although Concubine Zheng did not dare to claim to be the number one beauty, she was indeed born with a natural beauty, coupled with the age of a young woman in her 30s, she lost her childishness and added a third of charm.Now she is the most attractive time in a woman's life.

Even the eunuchs in the palace couldn't help but look at her a few more times when they saw her.

But Lin Pingzhi, as a normal man, never peeked at her, just looked at her normally, which is enough to explain the problem.

Concubine Zheng is at ease in entrusting her daughter to him.

Besides, I heard from Gu Qianhu that there are quite a few girls on the island who are not too different in age from his daughter, and letting his daughter find some peers to get along with will help the child grow up.

If my precious daughter can also learn martial arts, it will save her, a mother, from worrying about it.

The banquet lasted for a long time, after all, the emperor's imperial banquet could not be just talking and eating.More of a variety of programs.

Lin Pingzhi followed Wanli Emperor, and basically watched everything from juggling to singing and dancing, from opera to the community in the imperial garden.

And the food on the table is not static, this banquet lasts from noon to night.

The food on the table was a noon meal at first, and then after the performance started, it was removed and replaced with pastries and fruits.

And with the willow shoots on the moon, the pastries and fruits on the table were replaced by dinner.

The imperial banquet didn't end until around You time.Emperor Wanli returned to the palace to rest, while Lin Pingzhi was sent back to the mansion by the imperial chariot.

Lin Pingzhi returned to the gate of the Shangshu Mansion on the imperial chariot, and after saying goodbye to the ancient father-in-law, he was about to enter the gate. At this time, a figure flashed from behind the stone lion.

Seeing that everyone left, this person rushed to Lin Pingzhi's side quickly, and hugged him tightly.

Faced with this sudden hug, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but tremble.

Just as he was about to be on guard, he heard the girl behind him say: "Brother, why did you come back so late? And it smells so heavy, you drank a lot!"

This voice was very familiar to Lin Pingzhi, it was the voice of his first disciple Li Xingyao.

Lin Pingzhi shook his head, then took a deep breath, suppressed his drunkenness with internal force, and finally felt a little more sober.

After all, the emperor and the imperial concubine are toasting, how dare he not drink.The couple who came and went were fed a little too much by the couple.

After recovering his mind, Lin Pingzhi asked: "Xing'er, you are not staying with Feifei in the mansion, why did you come here at night? But what does Feifei want you to tell me?"

Li Xingyao said: "Indeed, during the daytime today, Xing'er and Sister Feifei came to look for my brother. It's a pity that the two of us were a step too late, and my brother has already been carried into the palace. So Sister Feifei let Xing I'll wait here for my brother to come back, and then tell my brother about it."

Lin Pingzhi asked, "What happened?"

Li Xingyao looked around, and she said: "Anyway, I've been waiting all day and it's not too late. Brother, let's go home first. After we get home, let Sister Feifei talk to you."

Lin Pingzhi tapped Li Xingyao's head lightly, and he said: "Little girl, you've learned how to play tricks. Well, Master, I'll go back with you today. I'll go into the mansion and tell the two monitors about Master's detailed work. Then I will go home with you."

After Li Xingyao nodded, she stepped aside again and hid herself.

But Lin Pingzhi stepped forward to knock on the door, and then the vermilion lacquered door opened, and after he said something to the porter, the porter nodded.

Then Lin Pingzhi walked down from the high steps.

He shouted to Li Xingyao: "Let's go! We're going home."

Li Xingyao came out from the dark at this time and said: "This is the end? Xing'er thought it would be troublesome. Brother, why did you tell them?"

Lin Pingzhi laughed and said, "Naturally, the little lady sent a maid to invite me over. Tell the two wives that I will sleep at the little lady's side today, so that they don't have to wait for me."

Li Xingyao pouted at this moment and said, "Could it be that in my brother's heart, Xing'er is a maid?"

Lin Pingzhi grabbed her small face and said: "Of course not, you are the first disciple of the teacher! You are the future heir to the mantle of the teacher hahaha."

Li Xingyao was still pouted at this time, and then angrily wrapped her arms around her master, and the two of them walked towards Lin's mansion.
