Chapter 289 Sauvignon Blanc 46
Ling Xi thought about it and reminded King Hao Ling in time: "Father, the enthronement ceremony should be scheduled for next year."
King Hao Ling asked curiously, "Why? There are still several months left this year, there is plenty of time."
Ling Xi: "I'm going to take Ah Nian, Yiying and Shuhui to Central Plains. I'll probably be back before the New Year. So, for the next few months, I'll have to trouble you with the affairs of the court."
Upon hearing the news, Prince Hao Ling said: “.”
Could he say no to his daughter?
It doesn't seem to work.
Not only did his two precious daughters go away, but he also took away two important generals, Fangfeng Yiying and She Shuhui. Now he had to worry about state affairs again.
Alas, now that his daughter has made things easier, he, the King Hao Ling, starts to feel lazy.
"Is there anything important on this trip to the Central Plains?" King Hao Ling asked with concern.
Ling Xi shook her head: "Nothing, I just want to go out and play more."
In fact, Xuan had already gone to the Central Plains, so wouldn't she create some chaos and trouble for him?
Maybe the Chishui clan is looking forward to her going.
King Hao Ling didn't feel angry after hearing this. He just said, "Then remember to come back early so that we can celebrate the New Year together."
Ling Xi felt a little warmer in her heart: "My daughter knows, father, don't worry."
"There are also rumors everywhere in the Great Wilderness these days. Father will send people to deal with them. You are the Second Princess of Hao Ling and the Young Master of Hao Ling. Your reputation is still very important."
At this point, King Hao Ling couldn't help but smile, with a hint of pride on his face: "I originally wanted to deal with the rumors about Hao Ling for you, but the people I sent out came back and told me that the people in Hao Ling are not affected by the rumors at all, and they will even send those who say bad things about you to the government."
"You have done better than me in this regard. Now in Haoling Territory, your reputation is much more useful than that of your father."
King Hao Ling's tone was very gratified. He had raised Ah Xi since she was a child. Although he selfishly hoped that she could have an easier life, he actually had hope. He hoped that his daughter could be a better king than him.
Now, his daughter is better than him.
Ling Xi leaned in Concubine Jing'an's arms with a lazy posture, looking like a delicate and soft little girl.
Listening to King Hao Ling's words, she smiled and replied: "If the people of Hao Ling are misled by such a rumor, then wouldn't all my efforts over the years be in vain?"
She never does anything in vain. Over the years, many of the things she has done involve issues related to people's livelihood.
Not only in Haoling, but also in Central Plains, her reputation has always been good.
The rumors spread by Xuan this time will at most make more people in Xiyan believe them, but as for Hao Ling, it will not have any effect at all.
A few days later, Ling Xi took Anian, Yiying and Shuhui and left the capital of Haoling Kingdom in a carriage and headed for Chenyi City.
As soon as he left Haoling Capital, Anian was as excited as a rabbit that had let loose.
In Ruoshou's words, it means that the seal on his body has been lifted.
Halfway through their journey, Ling Xi sent a letter to Chishui Fenglong and Chenrong Xinyue, informing them of their journey to Chenyi City.
Ling Xi calculated the date in her mind. Soon after they arrived in Chenyi City, it should be Chishui Fenglong and Chenrong Xinyue's birthday. At that time, they could just participate in their birthday banquet. After walking on the road for half a month, Ling Xi and his group arrived in Chenyi City.
At the city gate, when Chishui Fenglong and Chenrong Xinyue saw the carriage marked with the Haoling mark, both brother and sister looked happy.
Chishui Fenglong was delighted to meet Ling Xi, the girl he liked.
Chen Rong Xinyue was happy because she was going to meet her friends and people she admired.
After the carriage entered the city, it slowly stopped. Ling Xi got off the carriage, followed by Anian, Yiying and Shuhui.
Chishui Fenglong/Chen Rong Xinyue bowed lightly to Ling Xi and said, "Greetings to the two princesses."
Ling Xi smiled and said, "Why should we be so polite to each other? This time we are just friends, regardless of our status. Don't call me Wang Ji anymore, just call me A Xi."
Chishui Fenglong blushed when he saw Lingxi, and his chatterbox nature could not be stopped: "Since Princess Wang said so, Fenglong will not care about those empty formalities. How long will Xi stay in Chenyi City this time? Xinyue and I can do our best to be the hosts and take you out for some fun."
"That's right, that's right." Xinyue stepped forward and held Lingxi's arm, smiling brightly, "How long will you stay, Xi? I'll take you out to play. My brother and I will have our birthdays in a few days, so you have to come then."
Chen Rong Xinyue looked at Ling Xi with sparkling eyes. To others, that look was an affectionate one. It was a pity that that look was not directed at anyone else, but at a woman.
Anian secretly rolled his eyes.
Chen Rong Xinyue, her lifelong enemy, is dedicated to snatching her sister from her.
Ling Xi couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the brother and sister, so he held Xinyue's hand and said with a smile: "This is not my first time in Chenyi City. I am quite familiar with this place. I haven't forgotten your birthdays and I have prepared gifts for you."
Chen Rongxinyue was even more delighted when she heard this: "Then I will look forward to your gift, Ah Xi."
Ling Xi's eyebrows curved: "I promise I won't let you down."
This time, Ling Xi did not stay at the Haoling Inn. She had someone find a large courtyard in Chenyi City in advance. It had already been cleaned and was waiting for them to move in.
In the first few days after she arrived, Chishui Fenglong and Chenrong Xinyue would hang around in front of her for half an hour from time to time. In short, she could see them every day.
Today they brought her a small gift, and tomorrow they brought her some special delicacies from the city of Chenyi. Obviously, the two brothers and sisters understood her and did not bring her any particularly expensive gifts.
When they arrived at Chenyi City, Ling Xi let Yiying and Shuhui return to their own homes.
After all, it would be better for Chishui Fenglong and Chenrong Xinyue’s birthdays for them to attend on behalf of their respective families.
Ling Xi is not the kind of person who requires her subordinates to always follow her and stay by her side.
Soon it was the birthday of Chishui Fenglong and Chenrong Xinyue, brother and sister.
Early in the morning, after getting ready and having breakfast, Ling Xi took the gifts for the two siblings and went to the City Lord's Mansion with An Nian.
The gods live long and have never attached too much importance to birthdays. After living for a long time, many people will forget their birthdays. Only the favored children in very particular families will celebrate their birthdays often.
Fenglong and Xinyue are probably twins, so whenever they have birthdays, the brother and sister will invite some friends to have a small gathering to liven up the party.
This is also an opportunity for the various families to enhance their feelings for each other.
