Ling Wanrou was still a little uneasy, and said hesitantly, "What about that little maid, Ling Haoyue really can't get in my way?"
Zhao nodded weakly and said, "Yes, she will definitely not stand in your way." "The Zhao family now regrets instilling in Ling Wanrou when she was a child that she was more noble than Ling Haoyue, and she shouldn't be trampled under Ling Haoyue's feet.
Ling Wanrou was raised like this, and it was her responsibility as a mother.
"Ling Haoyue's marriage was given by the emperor, and it seems to be the emperor's grace, but in fact, it is just the emperor's attempt to appease Mrs. Xiao. β
The Zhao family felt that Ling Wanrou couldn't be allowed to go on like this anymore, and it was necessary to let her know the whole story, otherwise she would have to be calculated in the future. Maybe someone sold it and helped people count the money.
"Mother, you can make it clear, what's going on?" Ling Wanrou's eyes lit up, there were still a lot of secrets in this.
Zhao couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, it seems that Ling Wanrou has never thought about these things with her brain, all these years, she only knows the methods of the little girl's family, and she doesn't enter the stream at all.
"Do you know that when the marriage was given, it was when Xiao Qingfeng's father, General Xiao, died on the battlefield, and Ling Haoyue's father was still alive at that time, and he was the same brother as General Xiao, who was martyred, so the emperor decreed this marriage, just to comfort Mrs. Xiao. Mrs. Xiao only had one son, General Xiao, who died on the battlefield, and the emperor gave a marriage to General Xiao's orphan from the county lord of a clan, just to express his apology to the Xiao family. β
Ling Wanrou suddenly felt overjoyed and said, "It turns out that Ling Haoyue is just a gift." β
Zhao's face sank, and he said, "What nonsense! Even if it is a gift, it is also given by the emperor himself." β
Ling Wanrou was reprimanded by the Zhao family, just like when her heart was blooming, a scoop of cold water was poured down, pouring her heart cold, and she immediately pulled her face long.
And that's what Zhao wants.
"Wanrou, you have to remember that this is the Western Qin, the emperor is the ruler of the Western Qin, the whole world is not the king's land, and the monarch cannot be offended!
Speaking of that shameful matter, Ling Wanrou's face became even more ugly.
Zhao continued to add fuel to the fire, and said: "You still don't understand why the emperor wants to punish you! It's not because you insult the county lord of the clan, but because you have lost the emperor's face, Ling Haoyue is the county lord who was personally enshrined by the emperor, but you say why Ling Haoyue can be the county lord, this is to question the emperor's decision, can the emperor not be angry, can he not punish you." β
Ling Wanrou was dumbfounded, she had never thought that the reason was like this. She thought that the emperor and the queen mother favored Ling Haoyue, so they wanted to punish her.
"Then, I made the emperor angry, then am I finished, the whole world is not the king's land, then I don't ...... wherever I go" Ling Wanrou didn't dare to say any more, she made the emperor unhappy, then she would have a hard time in the future.
Zhao chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of! The emperor is busy with court affairs every day, how can he pay so much attention to your girl's family." "The emperor takes care of all the opportunities every day, and he doesn't have so much spare time to pay attention to a little Ling Wanrou.
So Ling Wanrou's worries were in vain.
"The emperor has already punished you, but he won't keep this little thing of yours in mind all the time. β
The board was not light, and Ling Wanrou felt pain in her lower body now.
"Is it true that the emperor won't punish me anymore?" Ling Wanrou felt that it was still necessary to ask again.
Zhao's eyelids lifted and said, "Then it depends on whether you will commit the emperor's taboo again." β
Ling Wanrou looked confused: "What is the emperor's taboo? Don't lose face to him?"
My stupid son, Zhao really wants to cry without tears, she only now realizes how stupid this daughter is, why doesn't she know anything? She really wants to ask Ling Wanrou, what do you know? She guesses that she will only eat, drink, and have fun, beat and scold the maids, and play some small tricks, and then enjoy herself.
"The emperor is the king of a country, and he must be admired by the bowl, and the first thing to do as a courtier is to be humble. The Zhao family explained to Ling Wanrou one by one, "Otherwise, why do you think the courtiers have to beg for mercy like the emperor at every turn." β
Ling Wanrou nodded slightly, estimating that she understood it.
"Wanrou, the status of our Lingguo Mansion is not low, your father was in charge of the military power in Southern Xinjiang before, and my mother thought that you would probably be the princess in the future, but now ......"
Before Zhao's words were finished, Ling Wanrou interrupted: "But what? Mother, can't Rou'er be the princess?"
What an honor it is to be able to marry the prince, and when the time comes, I will be sure to throw Ling Haoyue several streets. Ling Wanrou's heart suddenly faintly lit a small flame of pride.
As soon as Zhao saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking.
"How do you do your temperament, princess. Zhao said mercilessly, she had to destroy Ling Wanrou's idea.
"Why!" Ling Wan was anxious, why couldn't she be the princess.
"Don't say anything else, just your impatient temperament, you are not calm at all, where can you get into the eyes of the lady in the palace. "Actually, what the Zhao family wants to say is that you are so stupid, I am afraid that the lady in the palace will not look down on you.
Ling Wanrou looked at herself, she shouldn't be that bad.
"I can change it, Mother, I can do it. "Princess, Ling Wanrou doesn't want to give up.
Looking at Ling Wanrou's earnest gaze, Zhao suddenly regretted telling her about this.
"Rou'er, the princess is not so easy to do. "According to Ling Wan's gentle brain, even if she becomes the imperial concubine, I am afraid that she will be stepped on.
The prince and concubine, how can there be only one, there will be a lot of side concubines and concubines at that time, in the struggle in the backyard, Ling Wanrou will only be stepped on, and she will never be able to get up from then on.
"Why is it not easy to do? Wanrou can learn, it's not that I haven't married yet, I listen to my mother's words, study hard, I will definitely become a qualified princess, I will definitely be favored by the prince, but my mother is the prince's mother-in-law, if I am promoted to the queen in the future, then mother, you ......" Ling Wanrou firmly believed that she was the best, and then the more she talked, the more unscored.
"Enough!" Zhao couldn't help but directly interrupt Ling Wanrou's words.
Ling Wan's soft and beautiful daydream was interrupted, and she looked unhappy.
"Mother......" Ling Wanrou called.
Zhao really had a headache: "Rou'er, you just want to be the princess like this?"
Ling Wanrou nodded, the princess alas, it is very likely that she will become the most noble woman in Western Qin in the future, no matter how bad she is, she will be a princess.
"Then let me ask you, do you want to be the princess of that prince?"
When Zhao asked, Ling Wanrou thought for a while and said, "Of course it is good to be the crown princess." β
Isn't the crown princess the queen in the future?
Zhao sighed helplessly and said, "Wanrou, you don't think that if the emperor appoints the crown prince, the crown prince will definitely ascend the throne, and the crown prince will ascend the throne, and if you stay, you will definitely make the crown princess the queen, right?"
Ling Wanrou asked rhetorically, "How could it not?"
Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Wanrou, why are you so naΓ―ve! How many times have you ever seen a prince who became a prince and then successfully ascended to the throne?"
Ling Wanrou lowered her head embarrassedly, she practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays, where to read any historical materials.
"The crown prince is the concubine of the middle palace, so he is naturally the first candidate for the throne. β
Zhao shook his head, this daughter is so stupid, she must teach her well today.
"Wanrou, let me tell you the truth, the emperor has always disliked the crown prince, in addition to the crown prince, but also the second prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince, among which the most favored is the mother of the fifth prince, the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine is the princess of Nanqi, and the fifth prince has foreign blood on his body, and the emperor will definitely not pass on the throne to him. The sixth prince's background is too low, and he won't be able to take his turn until the end. The only thing left is the second prince, and the second prince Qin Jingzhong is from Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun's maiden family is General Zhou, who holds heavy troops in the southwest, and he has military power, and he is very likely to ascend to that position. β
Ling Wanrou nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Then I'll marry the second prince." β
The Zhao family couldn't help but hold his forehead, you are all cabbages when you are princes, you can choose. You also have to see if the second prince looks down on you.
Zhao's helpless expression fell on Ling Wanrou's eyes, and Ling Wanrou said timidly: "Mother, I will study hard, I will definitely be favored by the second prince." β
"Wanrou, second prince, don't think about it. Zhao said it directly.
Ling Wanrou's face froze, why couldn't she marry the second prince.
"Isn't it good for a daughter to marry like a royal family? When the time comes, the mother will be a relative of the emperor and the country, and the eldest brother will be the uncle of the country, what a great honor this is. β
Zhao smiled bitterly: "Even if you can marry into the royal family, then you have to have a life to enjoy that glory." β
Ling Wanrou's face changed drastically, can she still die?
"The palace is a place to eat people, how many concubines have died in the cold palace, died under the mess, and the ladies in the palace are not fuel-efficient lamps, either they have a powerful mother's family, or they are extremely favored. What kind of family background do you think you can have? It's not that there are no women with a better family background than yours, your father's military power in southern Xinjiang has been withdrawn, and if you displease Your Majesty again, there will be a title left in this country. β
Ling Wanrou said unconvinced: "Then I can be favored, with my appearance and talent, how can I not get holy favor." β
If others said this, Zhao would definitely laugh out loud, but the person who said this was his daughter.
"In royalty, beauty and talent are not enough, the most important thing is scheming, and you are too poor in this regard. Zhao sighed lightly, "You always look down on Ling Haoyue, but in fact, in terms of scheming, you are far worse than her." β
"I ......" Ling Wanrou was not convinced, but it was irrefutable, she had already suffered a lot at the hands of Ling Haoyue.
"This Ling Haoyue is really an evil sect, since the last time in Baiyun Temple, she seems to have changed as a person, she has always been a silent gourd before, who knows how she has changed her sex!"
Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up, Ling Haoyue's change was too sudden......
