Chapter XXVIII
One sentence was enough to make everyone shut up the gossip, and the queen didn't know what was going on here, she was originally counting on these people to suppress Lin Qingge, but in an instant, these people didn't dare to provoke Lin Qingge, and she became more and more curious.
Whispering to the palace maid beside her, Lin Qingge watched the palace maid approach her and quietly raised her vigilance.
"Queen Mother Wan'an!" Lin Qingge followed the palace maid to the front row, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he could see Xiao Chu and his party.
"Qingge, these subordinates don't know how to arrange it, obviously they let people arrange a place for you here, how did you go there? Those people are people who love to chew the root of their tongues, you don't have to care about these, now you and Ting Yi have set up a family affair, and after I discuss with the emperor, I will choose a good day and let you enter the door, and you will be a family in the future, so you don't have to be so polite." β
For a long time, the queen didn't pay much attention to Xiao Tingyi, because Xiao Tingyi didn't show any talent at all, nor did she have any insight in the court, but she didn't expect Xiao Tingyi, who had risen all of a sudden, to really give her a sense of crisis.
For the sake of Xiao Chu's status and her own rights, she had to marry Shen Jiuge to Xiao Chu as soon as possible to achieve a marriage binding between the two families.
Now it is also because of Lin Qingge's appearance that all her plans have been advanced, but she is sure that Lin Qingge will be too busy to take care of herself in the near future, and she has no heart to disturb her good things.
The queen said with a smile, she hasn't congratulated Miss Shen on becoming the crown princess soon, and she will have a bright future in the future, so please give me more advice. "What is Shen Jiuge's feelings for Xiao Tingyi, Lin Qingge knows in his heart that the two did not have much intersection in their previous lives, and it is also because the people they love are different.
Xiao Tingyi came late, and arrived when the banquet was about to begin, but he deliberately did not sit in the position prepared for him by the queen, and did it alone opposite Lin Qingge, everyone knew that the relationship between Lin Qingge and Xiao Tingyi was not good, and no one would doubt it.
"Queen Mother, this is a specialty topaz of my hometown, as a way to congratulate Miss Shen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on tying the knot!" Mrs. Lang, who had been chewing on the root of her tongue behind her back, suddenly began to give gifts, and after her, the rest of the people began to echo her.
Lin Qingge sat quietly in his place, looking at the hypocritical appearance of these people, without saying a word.
Xiao Tingyi also gave a good gift, it was a white jade Guanyin, which had the meaning of giving a child, and the queen was very pleased, in order to let Shen Jiuge die for Xiao Tingyi, let her take it in person and thank him.
"Queen Mother, the concubine has a reluctant request, I don't know if I should open my mouth. After everyone gave the gift, Mrs. Shilang couldn't stay idle again, staring at Lin Qingge with a pair of eyes.
"Today is just an ordinary banquet, there is no need to be so stubborn, everyone can speak freely, in order to make the atmosphere more lively. β
Mrs. Squire's small movements were seen by all the people present, and the next sentence was definitely aimed at Lin Qingge's words.
"The queen mother, the concubine thinks so, everyone present has offered gifts, only Miss Lin does not have any expression, which will inevitably make everyone feel a little unbalanced, we have all heard that Miss Lin is both civil and military, it is better to give us a performance for the present, it can be regarded as a lively atmosphere. β
Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, which were originally things that they were accustomed to, became a trick in the eyes of these nobles, and they deliberately humiliated Lin Qingge.
After Lin Qingge had a drink, he stood up and saluted the queen in full view of everyone. "The queen mother, the courtiers are not talented, thanks to your wrong love, today is the celebration banquet held by the mother for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the future Crown Princess, the courtiers feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Shen should cooperate once, so that it is a match for the talented and beautiful women. β
Mrs. Shilang only knew Lin Qingge's eloquence, but she never knew that she was so sharp-tongued, just one sentence was enough to make everyone pay attention to her and focus on Shen Jiuge.
"You people are really, I don't know that the emperor has already given marriage to Qingge and Tingyi? Not long after, Qingge is also my daughter-in-law, she and Ge'er are in the same position in my heart, how can there be any difference between high and low, I think it should be like this, let Chu'er and Tingyi take their respective fiancΓ©es to prepare, just entertain everyone, and other people present can also participate if they want to participate, in order to enliven the atmosphere, this hairpin was given by the emperor to the palace, and it should be regarded as the lottery head this time. β
The queen raised her eyes and motioned to the palace maid to bring up the things that had been prepared a long time ago, it was obvious that all this was arranged, whether Lin Qingge would agree or not, they had already thought of a way to make Lin Qingge unable to retreat.
Now that the pit has been dug, she has no way out but to go up.
"Huang Eniang, can the retainer ask for a different partner, or play alone. Since he wants to show the illusion of discord between the two, Xiao Tingyi is very thoughtful in all aspects and does not show a trace of flaws.
"Tingyi, don't be like this, you are Your Majesty's Fifth Prince, you should know what your responsibilities are since you were a child, no matter how dissatisfied you are with your father's arrangement this time, you can only hide it in your heart. β
Although the queen's words were teaching Xiao Tingyi a lesson, she always reminded Lin Qingge that only she could make Xiao Tingyi not do anything to her.
Xiao Tingyi threw up his sleeves and left, and Lin Qingge thanked the queen: "Thank you Niangniang for relieving the siege for me, what will I do to help Niangniang in the future." β
"Very good, people just have to learn to repay kindness, after you marry Ting Yi in the future, just help me take care of him, if he treats you badly in any way, just tell me that with me behind your back, you will definitely not be wronged." β
After turning around so much, the queen finally heard what she wanted to say from Lin Qingge's mouth, and asked Lin Qingge to go down and prepare.
Wandering all the way, Lin Qingge didn't see Xiao Tingyi, but was stopped by Xiao Chu behind the rockery.
"When I asked you to marry me, I promised you the position of concubine, but you didn't want to live or die, but now you are given a marriage to marry the fifth brother who has achieved nothing, and you are not treated by him, I really don't know if you will make the decision you made later, why don't I go to the concubine and say, let you enter my house and be a side concubine, I guarantee that your status is higher than Lin Yinyu." β
What he said at the beginning, now that he said it again, Xiao Chu wanted to keep it again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really forgetful, I have already said that what I am pursuing is just a couple for a lifetime, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't give me, why promise at will, it's better to be like this, it can also make us all easier, as for whether Xiao Tingyi can give me what I want, it's also his business. β
said this on the lips, but in my heart I was very sure that it would be like this.
