Chapter 68: Xia Chuyan's depression
In the middle of the night, news came out of Concubine Lin's palace that Concubine Lin gave birth to a princess. www.biquge.info It's just that Concubine Lin fell before giving birth to the princess, and a big wound appeared on her forehead, which may leave a scar in the future.
The emperor accompanied Concubine Lin for a whole day, but he was afraid that Concubine Lin, who had just given birth, would be sad. Outsiders gritted their teeth with hatred for Concubine Lin, and they all wished that Concubine Lin hurt her face not on her forehead. It's just a princess, and she has given birth to many concubines, and Concubine Lin is just one of them, can she let the emperor take care of it personally? There is something that makes everyone hate even more, that is, the emperor thought that Concubine Lin had a meritorious role in giving birth to the princess, and promoted Concubine Lin to Concubine Lin.
Since then, Concubine Lin has ...... Oh no, it's Concubine Lin, she is the most noble woman in the palace besides the queen.
When the news reached Lin Ruochen's ears, he just grinned and sneered, but he didn't say a word about it.
"I don't think you mean to be happy for your sister." Sima Tan looked at Lin Ruochen on the other side, and felt how unhappy the latter was.
"What is there to be happy about, what does her honor and disgrace have to do with me?"
"Isn't she your sister-in-law? Oh, I forgot, strictly speaking, she should be your biological father's concubine! ”
"Bang!" Lin Ruochen slapped his palm on the table, so frightened that the Ten Princes, who were drinking water, almost threw the cup in his hand.
"I don't know if it's true or not? Besides, I never want to be the illegitimate son of the emperor, this is a shame for my mother! None of you are allowed to speak of it again! ”
Lin Ruochen's resolute attitude was because of his mother on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Ten Princes. In fact, Lin Ruochen was too careful, and after the Ten Princes knew about Lin Ruochen's illness, the Ten Princes no longer cared about Lin Ruochen's true identity.
Seeing that Lin Ruochen was angry, the tenth prince simply changed the topic and said to Sima Tan: "The days in the palace are definitely not as brilliant as outsiders seem, Concubine Lin has risen to a noble concubine on the surface, but the people who want to harm her don't know how much to increase, and if you are not careful, you will not even be able to save your life." With any benefit comes a myriad of risks, and so do we, and if we lose this battle for the throne, we will not only lose our lives, but also our friends and loved ones. Perhaps, even our babbling children and grandchildren will not be spared. You have to take these into account, no one is absolutely sure, we have to be prepared for death at any time. ”
Sima Tan sat down slowly, thought for a while, and then said, "Can I go back and continue to be my robber?" ”
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
The Ten Princes and Lin Ruochen spoke in unison.
When a robber? What are you kidding, once this road is taken, there is still a way back. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and hold on. Sima Tan also knew, but his whole life was spent in a struggle for power, and he was really unwilling!
Xia Chuyan didn't know how many times he was in a daze out of the window, Lin Ruochen had been away from here for almost a year, and the prince had sent people over to show favor many times, and even his father and mother were about to be moved by the prince. Could it be that in the future, I really want to be the crown princess, marry into that gorgeous-looking cage, and be a canary who is closely watched?
There was the voice of the personal maid Erya outside, and he knew without asking that the prince must have sent someone to bring him some rare objects to play with.
The prince's expression was so strong that Xia Chuyan didn't know how to refuse. Many times the words came to his lips but he couldn't open his mouth, so many people now know that the prince is pursuing himself. Not to mention the future, at least now, no one dares to come to the door to propose marriage. If Lin Ruochen is really ruthless to himself, then the prince is his only choice.
"Alas!" Xia Chuyan sighed again, feeling very depressed in his chest, and he didn't even notice that his sister Xia Chuyu walked in.
"My sister always sighs like this, if you really don't like it, then just tell the prince directly."
Xia Chuyan turned his head and scolded, "What do you know? Don't talk nonsense! ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, sister, you obviously like that surnamed Lin, although I don't know what my sister likes about him, but I think that person is good-looking. If my sister really can't let go, why not boldly pursue him, in case he is touched by his sister, then my sister can be happy for the rest of her life. Anyway, I think it's not good to be a royal wife, there are too many rules and too many requirements. ”
Xia Chuyan let out a long breath, although these words were simple to say, but there were a lot of troubles in them. Although my father looks beautiful, as long as he angers the royal people, life and death are completely instantaneous. Just like now, if the prince insists on marrying Xia Chuyan as his wife, with his father's ability, where can he compete with the prince? If the crown prince fabricated a crime at will and put it on his father's head, the honor and disgrace of the whole clan would be completely changed overnight.
It's not easy to say "no"!
Xia Chuyan once again looked at the peach blossoms outside, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the prince saw the jade rabbit retreating in front of him, the expression on his face was as calm as ever.
The butler cautiously raised his eyelids and tried to suggest to the prince: "Why don't I ask someone to give Lord Xia some color?" ”
The corners of the prince's mouth were raised, and there was a cold smile in his eyes.
"No, if Xia Chuyan accepts it easily, then I have to think about her character again. Rejection shows that she is not attracted to my position and is a good woman who does not love vanity. ”
"But she has rejected you many times, and it will not be good for the prince's reputation if it gets out."
The crown prince naturally knew about these situations, so he had already made other arrangements. Now, the queen should already be on her way to face the saint.
The water in the emperor's mouth almost squirted out, he really didn't expect the queen to speak so amazingly.
"What are you kidding? Hugh is talking nonsense! ”
"The concubine is not talking nonsense, there are rumors outside that Charlotte's daughter has the fate of her mother. Is there any other way to go but to let her be your woman? Besides, other princes now have plans to accept her as a concubine, if the princes make trouble because of this, won't it be a secret joke for the people. ”
The emperor held a copy of the unfinished book tightly in his hand, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
"Mother of the world?" What a joke, even if someone believes such a thing?
Before, the emperor thought that the princes would not take the rumors to heart, but now think about it, if they really have the intention of rebellion, it is not impossible to do so with an attitude of preferring to believe them.
The emperor looked down on the queen, and then realized that her dress today was really simple and generous, and it seemed to be a little similar to the makeup when she first married herself. How long has it been since they sat together like this and simply chatted?
"Doesn't the queen believe it?"
"The concubine naturally doesn't believe it, but in order to stop the rumors here, the concubine is willing to let Xia Chuyan bring the reputation of the mother to marry into the palace and be the emperor's pillow."
