The door of the main hall was open, and I saw that there were many people sitting inside, both men and women. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 A woman kneeling in the center of the main hall and a man standing next to her.

The woman was dressed in a long white dress, her hair was scattered, her body trembled slightly, and she sobbed softly.

The man stood with his hands in his hands, tilted his head slightly, and faced the Empress Dowager and the current emperor Zhou Chang'an above the high hall.

This tall and lonely back, this stubborn and untamed body language, makes Lin Wan very familiar, this man is Zhou Tianqi.

Lin Wan couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, almost all of the people in this hall were Zhou Tianqi's relatives, but they were all like enemies, standing on the opposite side of him.

Lin Wan walked to the woman's side, glanced at it lightly, and sure enough, it was Lu Manting, who couldn't help but secretly disdain, but her face didn't show it at all, and she saluted everyone in the hall and said, "Wan'er see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." Wan'er see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, see His Royal Highness the Great Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

The Queen Mother Lu Qishan glanced at Lin Wan coldly and did not say anything. Empress Lu Jinyun, the eldest prince Zhou Tianhong, and the third prince Zhou Tianzheng all nodded slightly to Lin Wan and were silent.

Zhou Tianqi didn't seem to hear Lin Wan salute him, he still looked ahead with anger on his face, and he couldn't tell who he was angry with, but that look, as if the people of the whole world had offended him.

The emperor sighed lightly, raised his hand, and said, "Wan'er doesn't have to be polite, let's be even." He turned to look at Ximen Yuqing and a woman in purple on the left, and introduced: "Prince Ximen, you know, this is Princess Ziling of Nanyue." ”

Lin Wan obediently saluted again, and said respectfully: "I have seen Prince Ximen and Princess Ziling. ”

Ximen Yu smiled lightly and said casually: "Lord Wanxin is polite." ”

Lan Ziling stood up from her seat, bowed slightly to Lin Wan, looked at Lin Wan with a smile, and said politely: "Lord Wanxin, fortunately." ”

Lin Wan smiled faintly at her, and also carefully looked at the six princesses of South Vietnam who were about the same age as herself.

Lan Ziling is indeed very beautiful, and even Lin Wan has to admit that she is indeed a rare little beauty. He is tall and has a slender waist, but he is delicate and well-developed. The skin is brownish, but smooth and delicate, the eyes are bright and the teeth are bright, the eyebrows are gentle, and the smile is kind, which is completely different from Lan Ziyue's arrogance, which makes people like it at first sight and can't help but want to get close.

Lin Wan glanced at Lu Manting beside her, and only felt that although the two looked completely different, their temperaments were strikingly similar.

At this moment, Lu Manting was slowly raising her head, with a pair of crystal bright teary eyes, looking at Lin Wan pitifully, nodding slightly, and then lowering her head and sobbing softly.

Lin Wan glanced up at Zhou Changan and Lu Qishan, who were very ugly, and then lowered their heads quietly, standing respectfully in the center of the main hall, silent. But the heart could not help but be secretly raised, like a sinner waiting for judgment.

Zhou Changan stared at Lin Wan for a long time, and finally slowly spoke: "Wan'er, you and the Seventh Prince and Princess Heshuo have grown up together since childhood, and now they are not young, and they have reached the age where they can be married. After a pause, he said: "Although I am the emperor and have thousands of troops and horses, I have a lot of headaches about the marriage of your children. The 60th birthday of the Queen Mother is approaching soon, and it will not be good if she makes any jokes in front of the envoys of various countries. ”

Lin Wan raised his head, opened his innocent big eyes, looked at Zhou Changan, and said timidly: "Your Majesty, Wan'er is panicking. As the saying goes, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, Wan'er is young, where is the idea in this kind of thing? The emperor has every opportunity, and he dare not let the emperor worry about Wan'er. ”

Zhou Changan frowned slightly, nodded unhappily, and said, "Yes, this matter really shouldn't be decided by you." This matter was supposed to be handled by your mother, but Ke Liniang is not in good health and has been sick for all these years, and we all know about it. According to the meaning of me and the Empress Dowager, I wanted to summon my father into the palace to discuss this matter in detail, but Prince Ximen said that I wanted to hear your own opinion, so I asked Gonggong Qi to take you into the palace. ”

Lin Wan's face turned pale, his heart was worried, and he respectfully blessed Zhou Changan again, and said: "Your Majesty, Wan'er is brave and willing to hear about it." ”

Zhou Chang'an's face was slightly pale, and he said kindly: "Wan'er, Prince Ximen wants to invite you, on behalf of our Great Sealing Kingdom, to go to Xiling Kingdom to participate in the concubine selection banquet that will be held next spring." ”

Lin Wan was not surprised, since Ximen Yuqing was here, how could he not intervene? But the problem must not be so simple, otherwise, there would not be a disturbance in this Shouxi Palace.

Seeing that Lin Wan didn't react, Zhou Changan continued to ask, "Wan'er, are you willing to represent the Great Feng Kingdom as an envoy to Xiling Kingdom?"

Lin Wan raised her head, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, such a major national event, of course, depends on you, the emperor, and Wan'er is naturally willing to share worries for the country." ”

Zhou Changan nodded happily and said, "Wan'er really knows the general situation!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Ximen Yuqing and said with a smile: "Ximen Xian's nephew, are you relieved now?"

Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, stood up, bowed to Zhou Changan, and said, "Thank you Uncle Zhou for your success!" After speaking, he sat back again, squinting a pair of peach blossom eyes, looking at Lin Wan with a smile, completely ignoring the grievances and jealousy on Lan Ziling's face.

Lu Qishan looked at the three juniors in the hall coldly, with an impatient expression, and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, since Wan'er's matter has been resolved, next, let's talk about the marriage of Manting and Qi'er." ”

Zhou Changan frowned, nodded slightly, and said respectfully to Lu Qishan: "Don't worry, the queen mother, I will definitely give Manting an explanation." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhou Tianqi and said coldly: "Qi'er, you said that you were not in the Yichen Hall last night, so where are you? If you can't say it, I can't help you, you have to take responsibility for what you do." ”

Zhou Tianqi's face did not change, and he did not hesitate to clench his fists to Zhou Changan, and said: "Father, the son has already said it, and the son has not done anything. Erchen went out of the palace last night to meet a friend, and only returned to the palace this morning. As for the name of that friend, it is inconvenient for the son to say it here, so please forgive my father. ”

Zhou Chang'an's face was gloomy, he looked at Zhou Tianqi for a long time, and muttered for a long time before turning his head to Lu Qishan, and said in a consultative tone: "Queen Mother, this child has been very stubborn since he was a child, and you know it. Since he refused to say it, maybe there was something hidden in this matter. In front of so many people, there are indeed many inconveniences. Why don't you stop here for today, and wait for someone to find out the truth, and then make a decision, how about it?"
