Chapter 113: Caught in a dilemma

After the emperor got off the dragon chariot, he walked into the main hall of Ci'an Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Lin stood up and looked at the bright yellow figure that disappeared at the door of the main hall, and did not move her steps.

His Majesty knew the Empress Dowager's intentions in the early years, but he delayed giving her and the second prince a marriage.

It is because of this that I have survived in the lonely and deserted palace for a year and a half, and now I have returned to Beijing, but the future is still uncertain.

Could it be that His Majesty didn't plan to make herself the second princess at all?

Miyun and Banrong stood behind her in a regular manner, not daring to disturb her thoughts with a sound.

After a while, Su Lin said, "It's too cold, let's go back." ”

Banrong said boldly: "Girl, it's all out anyway, why don't you go and say hello to the queen?"

Su Lin's heart moved, the queen mother's attitude towards herself was not very warm, but she had always acquiesced to her identity as the second princess.

No matter what you do, hanging yourself from a tree is a taboo, since the Empress Dowager is not safe here, she should often go to Fengxiang Palace to walk around.

She instructed softly: "Miyun, you go back to the house and take the sign from the palace to Gu Mansion to see if Changning is really sick, and Banrong will go to Fengxiang Palace with me." ”

Miyun answered, turned back and went back to Changyi.

Banrong said: "Girl, do we want to give the queen some gifts?"

Su Lin said with a smile: "Niangniang is the mother of a country, we don't have the ability to give away the things she wants, let's go." ”

In fact, Su Lin misunderstood the Empress Dowager.

She thought that the Empress Dowager had left her behind when she saw King Fu, and had long forgotten about her marriage.

In fact, although the Empress Dowager has not been as attentive to her as before recently, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is her maiden home after all, how can she not care about the future of the Su family.

Today's emperor's visit to Ci'an Palace is the meaning of the empress dowager.

The purpose is to get what Su Lin deserves.

Because of all the things he had experienced in the past, Emperor Yongtai did not have any good impression of himself, the imperial grandmother who had stood in the palace for decades.

If it weren't for the so-called filial piety, he would have wanted the Empress Dowager to stay in the palace and not come back.

Recently, he has been so busy that he only sleeps two hours a day, and his eyelids are fighting when he goes to court, and the old lady actually makes trouble for him, so he asks people to wait outside the imperial study early in the morning, so that he has to come to Ci'an Palace.

Emperor Yongtai was very annoyed, but the moment he walked into the main hall of Ci'an Palace, a smile quickly appeared on his face.

He walked directly to the Empress Dowager, and was about to kneel down to bow as soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes.

The Empress Dowager hurriedly said to Emperor Yongtai: "It's cold, the emperor doesn't have to be polite." ”

Emperor Yongtai was just pretending, bowed to the Empress Dowager's wishes, walked to her side and sat down.

He said with a guilty face: "I have had too many things in the past few days, and I am really ashamed that I have not been able to come over to talk to the imperial grandmother." ”

The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "State affairs are important, and there is no shortage of people around an old woman in the mourning family, so the emperor needs to talk with him all day long." ”

Looking at what he said, it was simply a thick air of resentment.

Emperor Yongtai said: "Why don't you see the Eighth Emperor Uncle today?"

The loose flesh on the Empress Dowager's face trembled slightly, didn't she ask knowingly? The entire palace was now in his hands, and he actually asked such a thing.

The smile on her face faded: "Today, your Eighth Emperor Uncle stayed in the palace and did not enter the palace. ”

Emperor Yongtai bowed slightly, indicating that he knew.

The Empress Dowager simply didn't want to go around the bend, so she said directly: "Emperor, the mourning family wants to discuss something with you." ”

Emperor Yongtai secretly sneered in his heart, for more than thirty years, even if he was already the son of heaven in the Great Zhou, the imperial grandmother was still so impatient when facing him.

It's all her grandson, think about how she did to Yu Wenhao in the first place?

Think about it again, how did she treat the Su family?

It's chilling.

After enduring it for so long, didn't she just want the Great Zhou Dynasty to have another Queen Su?

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongtai couldn't help but feel a little proud, it is said that the Empress Dowager can completely call the shots about such a thing as marriage, but when it comes to Yongtai, everything can only be decided by herself!

He continued to pretend to be stupid and said, "Grandmother Huang has something to do. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "The year before last, your father died, and the mourning family almost couldn't hold on......" said and wiped her tears.

Emperor Yongtai is so annoyed that he can't do it, the old lady must be the saddest one when his father is gone, but there is no need to come to such a paragraph every time he makes a request to himself.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager quickly changed the topic and choked up: "This year, thanks to the company of Miss Lin, the palace is too deserted, and she is really wronged." ”

Emperor Yongtai was very cooperative: "Before I came, I had already prepared a holy decree to reward her. ”

The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, and she didn't notice at all that Emperor Yongtai was talking about "reward" instead of "marriage".

She smiled and said: "Such a big happy event, the mourning family ordered Miss Lin to go back to the house to wait for the decree." ”

Seeing her so excited, Emperor Yongtai almost couldn't bear to pour cold water.

He smiled lightly: "There is no need to be so troublesome, the title of a county lord is just a title, everything is just like the example of the county lord of Ruijia." ”

It is not easy for a woman from a non-clan family in the Great Zhou Dynasty to be crowned the lord of the county, and there is only Pei Jinxin in the Yongtai Dynasty.

Even Doudou made such a great contribution, and what Emperor Yongtai promised was only the title of the county lord who enjoyed the county's main food.

The Empress Dowager's face became ugly, she wanted the next queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty surnamed Su, who is rare and what county lord title!

She said angrily: "The emperor doesn't need to pretend to be stupid in front of the mourning family, the matter of Brother Heng and Miss Lin's marriage has dragged on for so long, there should be a result." ”

Emperor Yongtai said coldly: "Imperial grandmother, you have to think clearly, Su Lin is the only one left in the Su family's age-appropriate concubine, and it is impossible to regret it if you really want to give the marriage." ”

He was only in his thirties and had only been on the throne for two years, and he began to calculate one by one, this is to curse himself to make room for them as soon as possible?

Even if he has to make a prince now, he now has nine princes, who said that he must have a second prince?

Emperor Yongtai had a gloomy face, if this was not Ci'an Palace, and he was not facing the imperial grandmother, he would have ...... a long time ago

The Empress Dowager was confused by Emperor Yongtai's words, what does this mean?

Could it be that the emperor's preferred candidate for the crown prince is not Brother Heng?

How can it!

She patted the armrest of her chair and blurted out: "Brother Heng is the only prince who is the heir, who is still qualified to inherit the throne except him." ”

Emperor Yongtai was laughed at angrily, the imperial grandmother is really too old and faint, how many princes have inherited the throne since ancient times?

Don't mention anything else, she can't see such a big living person sitting in front of her?

The Empress Dowager is actually not stupid, as soon as she said it, she reacted that something was wrong, but the water that was spilled out of the words could not be recovered.

She sneered: "Mourning family doesn't mean that, mourning family means ......"

Emperor Yongtai waved his hand and said: "The imperial grandmother has thought clearly, whether to give a title or a marriage, I am happy to be an adult." ”

The Empress Dowager was in a dilemma for a while. (To be continued.) )
