Chapter 176 He also wants to go to the front line to kill the enemy
When the two came out of the palace, the sun was already high in the center of the sky. On that hot summer day, the sunlight was scorching the earth like fire.
They were silent all the way until they got on the carriage at the palace gate, and then they found that Ling Nianxiao was already sitting inside.
Lin Qingyan rolled her eyes and said to Ling Nianxiao in a tender voice, "Nianxiao, I haven't had breakfast yet. I suddenly want to eat Uncle Zhang's wontons. Can you go with me?"
This was the first time in Ling Nianxiao's life that she heard Lin Qingyan act like a spoiled child to her, and in front of her mother. She suddenly felt an indescribable sense of shame. She just wanted to escape from her mother's sight as soon as possible, so she nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Okay."
"Hey, mother-in-law, do you want to eat with us?" Lin Qingyan asked with that silly smile again.
"Hmph." Ling Yao threw the two of them off the carriage with an unhappy look on her face, and then signaled the coachman to drive away. In her opinion, it was really inappropriate for a woman to act so coquettishly and cutely.
However, she forgot how she looked in front of Xiao Ran. Compared with Lin Qingyan, she was even worse.
The two walked side by side on the road, Lin Qingyan stared at Ling Nianxiao's hand hanging by his side, carefully reached out her hand, and gently held it. Feeling the warmth from the other's palm, a sweet feeling surged in her heart.
Suddenly, a hot hand reached out and grabbed him tightly. The other person's fingers inserted into his fingers, interlaced their fingers, and held tightly.
Ling Nianxiao raised his head and his eyes fell on Lin Qingyan. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and the sunlight shone on her body, as if her whole body was emitting golden light, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.
At this moment, Ling Nianxiao suddenly had a wonderful idea: It would be fine to just leave it like this for the rest of my life.
"Nian Xiao, I like you to pick me up from get off work. Days like this are becoming more and more hopeful." Lin Qingyan suddenly said softly.
Although Ling Nianxiao didn't quite understand the specific meaning of "get off work", he felt from her words that she was very happy that he was waiting for her outside today. So, he silently made a decision in his heart.
After enjoying the delicious wontons, the two strolled back to the Prime Minister's Mansion leisurely. Just as they reached the door, Ling Yao happened to be preparing to go out.
When she saw the two people holding hands, she couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"If you don't go back to your own house, people who don't know you will think you are marrying into the family, which will make people laugh at you."
When Lin Qingyan heard this, her expression remained calm and her heart did not beat. Instead, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.
She responded quickly, "Qingyan, I wish I had that honor. I can serve my wise and capable mother-in-law in your house and take care of you until the end of your life. I can also share the household chores with my father-in-law who is so gentle and makes me feel his deep fatherly love. This is a great blessing in life!"
Her words were so sincere and heartfelt, as if they came from the bottom of her heart, which moved people.
"Who will laugh at me? Who dares to laugh at me? Who can laugh at me?" Lin Qingyan asked a series of questions in a firm tone and with sharp eyes.
This barrage of words immediately choked Ling Yao to the point where she was speechless.
Humph, if she died in the capital, she must have been choked to death by this shameless Lin Qingyan!
Thinking of this, Ling Yao glared at Lin Qingyan fiercely, then flicked her sleeves, turned around with a stern face and walked out the door.
However, the moment she turned her back to the two of them, the corners of her mouth involuntarily lifted up.
Lin Qingyan noticed it, humph, little old lady who says one thing and means another.
When the two returned home, they wanted to find Xiao Ran to chat and cheer him up, but they were told by Xiao Ran's servant that he was taking a nap. The two had no choice but to return to their rooms and be affectionate with each other.
After returning to the room, Lin Qingyan picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then looked at Ling Nianxiao silently, with a firmness and determination in her eyes.
She opened her red lips and said slowly, "Nian Xiao, there is something I want to tell you. Before long, I will set out with Li Feng as the military supervisor to the southern border to resist foreign enemies."
As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Ling Nianxiao's heart. He widened his eyes, his mouth slightly opened, his face full of disbelief, as if his whole body was frozen.
Lin Qingyan seemed to have expected such a reaction, so she continued, "Nian Xiao, Her Majesty the Queen now appreciates me very much. This expedition is a rare opportunity for me. However, the battle on the front line is imminent, but our army's food supply is seriously short, and the national treasury can no longer afford the huge expenses of the army..."
Then, Lin Qingyan analyzed in detail the current difficulties and challenges facing him. Her tone was calm and firm, and every word was full of a sense of responsibility and mission.
Finally, Lin Qingyan looked at Ling Nianxiao, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, and asked softly, "Will you support me to go?"
Ling Nianxiao turned his head and glanced at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said calmly: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you go."
Lin Qingyan was speechless for a moment, muttering to herself: I wouldn't have said so much if I had known. She originally thought that Ling Nianxiao would cry and stop her from taking risks like other ordinary men. But she never thought that he would be so calm and composed.
Yes, how could she forget? Ling Nianxiao is the son of the prime minister. He has received a good education since childhood and puts national interests first.
She muttered quietly, "Why do you look like that? I thought you would object."
"I'm just shocked by this matter." Ling Nianxiao said.
Lin Qingyan was depressed. Damn, how could she be fooled by his reaction?
Ling Nianxiao laughed out loud: "By the way, I also want to go to the front line to kill the enemy. It will definitely be very cool." After saying that, his eyes lit up.
The first thing Lin Qingyan thought of was not that he would be in danger. After all, with her there, he would not be in danger. What she thought of was that Li Mingyu would also follow the army back to the border, which made her even more depressed.
After waiting for a long time without getting any answer from Lin Qingyan, Ling Nianxiao didn't even look at her. He was very angry and thought she didn't want him to go.
"Hmph, you don't think that going into battle and killing enemies is something that you women do, do you? Let me tell you, anything that you women can do, we men can do as well." Ling Nianxiao said angrily.
Ugh.
Lin Qingyan walked behind Ling Nianxiao and put her arms around his waist: "When did I say I wouldn't let you go?"
He turned his head and continued to chatter: "Just now you didn't respond, nor did you agree to me, you...well"
Lin Qingyan was annoyed by his incessant chattering and simply stopped him.
