Chapter 15: The Three Men Propose to Marry
Xiao Tingyi's timing was very good, at this time the emperor was happy, and it was easiest to want a reward, waiting for the emperor to nod and agree, he was already thinking about how to tell Lin Qingge about this good thing.
But the emperor frowned, he refused this marriage.
"Yi'er, the marriage event has always been the order of the parents, and now the prince has not married a wife, and you have never had a concubine in the same room, directly begging the prime minister's concubine, I am afraid it will make the queen difficult to explain, the queen can mention that the prince also wants to go to Lin Qingge as the concubine, let me think about this matter, if there is nothing to do, retreat." ”
didn't want to continue to discuss this matter, the emperor waved his sleeves, and Xiao Tingyi also saw that the emperor's face was not good, so he bowed and retired.
All the way to the gate of the palace, people were in a trance, he was wondering why the emperor would refuse so decisively, although it was an excuse for the crown prince, but it was too high-sounding, unless the emperor had other concerns.
This matter spread quickly, and soon after Xiao Tingyi left the palace, Xiao Chu also entered the palace, and what he did was just the same thing, asking to marry Lin Qingge.
"You don't need to think about this matter, you have been in the limelight recently, and you are about to go to the military camp again, Huangshan City is worried that you will hold the two forces of the general and the prime minister in your hands, and you will threaten him when the time comes, what is his attitude towards you over the years, he knows very well in his heart, even if Xiao Chu proposes the same thing today, he will be rejected by the emperor. ”
Lin Qingge looked at Xiao Tingyi, who was drinking tea cup by cup, and expressed his depression in his heart.
In the courtyard of the queen of the harem, the queen was listening to Shen Jiuge playing the piano, and after listening to her subordinates report that Xiao Chu and Xiao Tingyi were asking to marry Lin Qingge at the same time, she was very angry.
"Hmph, it's just a little prime minister's daughter, she has such a charming ability, not only seducing the emperor, but also playing the prince around, such a woman can't stay, Ge'er, my aunt decided to let Chu'er marry you, and then you will be the crown princess, and the glory of the family will remain unchanged for many years in the future." ”
The queen knew that Shen Jiuge was thinking about Xiao Tingyi in her heart, and with one sentence, she directly cut off the back road of Shen Jiuge's refusal.
Shen Jiuge knew from as long as she could remember that her fate was never in her own hands, but in the hands of her family, and she was always ready to sacrifice everything for the glory of her family.
"Everything is arranged by my aunt!" At this time, no matter how much emotion there is, it can only be hidden in the heart.
The sadness and loss in the words were clearly felt by the queen, "Child, I know that your heart is in Xiao Tingyi, but even if he Xiao Tingyi shows some ability now, he is just a prince in this life, and it is unknown how long he can live in the future, even if you ask him to marry you, he will not marry you, as long as he lives for a day, he will hate the Shen family for a day." ”
The words are very poignant, but they are reasonable, the queen has long seen it through, not only to let Shen Jiuge let go completely, what she wants is that Shen Jiuge and Xiao Tingyi are enemies.
The emperor sent someone to reveal his meaning to the prime minister and wanted to take Lin Qingge as a concubine, but the prime minister was stopped by both the holy decree and his daughter's intentions, and he didn't know how to deal with this problem.
"Father, let me go into the palace with my father-in-law to explain this matter, I caused the matter myself, and I will definitely not implicate the family. "Some things have to be solved sooner or later, and Lin Qingge likes to solve some problems quickly.
Lin Yinyu was jealous, she couldn't figure out that they were all daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she was just a concubine, so she could only be forced to accept being a side concubine to the prince.
"Yes, Daddy, you just let your sister solve it herself, this kind of thing is a big thing to lose her head if you are not careful, and when my sister says something wrong in front of the emperor, she is also responsible for it, and it has nothing to do with us. If you want to blame it, it's your sister who always likes to be in the limelight and causes a lot of trouble. ”
The sound of sizzling makes people very disgusting to hear.
"Shut your mouth, it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks about my business, don't make any small moves for me at home, let me know that I can't even make you the crown princess. After throwing off this sentence, Lin Qingge left with his father-in-law.
"Qingge is coming, come on, I just happened to have some new tribute silk here, you see that you have a favorite color, pick some home to make a few beautiful clothes, and by the way, try the pastries made of osmanthus just picked this year. ”
When the emperor saw Lin Qingge enter the palace, he felt happy in his heart, thinking that Lin Qingge had agreed to enter the palace as a concubine.
Lin Qingge saluted and politely refused the emperor's good intentions: "The emperor forgives the sin, the most important thing to enter the palace this time is to thank you, the emperor and the minister's grace, I can't fully repay my grace, I can only be loyal to the emperor, and I will not hesitate to do anything for the emperor's liver and brain, but this matter of entering the palace, the courtiers are absolutely unqualified." ”
After a pause, Lin Qingge continued: "The emperor's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and he should know that in order to protect his courtier's mother and younger brother before, the courtiers worked hard, but now the family is uneasy, and the plague has not completely subsided, it is not the time to consider the love of children, besides, the emperor is benevolent and lenient to the people." ”
After saying so many words in one breath, Lin Qingge admired her own ability to play on the spot, which simply blew the emperor into a god-like existence.
The emperor was fascinated for a while, and echoed Lin Qingge's words, Lin Qingge seized the loophole and thanked the emperor: "The courtiers thank the emperor for his grace, and the emperor's kindness will be remembered forever." ”
After saying these words, she quickly left the palace, and let the carriage turn around a few times in the street, and found that someone was following her.
These people have been following him since he left the palace, and Lin Qingge concluded that the matter that the emperor asked people to announce was released by the queen's eyeliner, and these killers were naturally sent by the queen to deal with her.
As for whether this is for her own extrication, or whether it will be said for the rest of the people, it is unknown. Lin Qingge asked people to drive the carriage to the restaurant as much as possible without making people suspicious, and then began to order food and eat happily.
"I said that you people have been following all the way, and it is not easy to find such a good burial place for you, and you will continue to follow secretly, I really don't know why the queen mother is the only one with such courage as you. ”
The inn was already empty, and after his men closed the door of the inn one by one, the sound of broken bones falling from the second floor instantly sounded in this inn.
Clapping his hands and taking a sip of wine, Lin Qingge put a silver ingot directly into the compensation for the loss, and with this thing, the boss immediately laughed.
"Go back to the mansion and ask someone to send a message to the Fifth Highness, asking him to meet him at the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight. After explaining to Yun Qing clearly, Lin Qingge fell asleep directly on the carriage.
