Chapter 14: A Request for Marriage
"In vain to disregard the law of etiquette, several ministers reminded me that you said that the prime minister had fornicated with foreign enemies, but the evidence you handed over was all the border matters that I personally dictated and was written by the prime minister to discuss with neighboring countries, if you don't mean that I collaborated with the enemy?"
When things come to this point, Lin Qingge has made a great contribution in the front, and the emperor naturally wants to excuse the prime minister, so there is no matter of Xiao Tingyi.
Before retiring from the court, Xiao Tingyi asked himself to help Lin Qingge, Xiao Chu also wanted to earn a good reputation, and the emperor only allowed Xiao Tingyi to go to the same request.
After the plague was controlled, Lin Qingge did not stay idle, there was an endless stream of people who came and went to fool food and medicinal materials, and he had received the news that the prime minister had returned home safely, and Lin Qingge's heart was also burdened.
When Xiao Tingyi arrived with his helpers and the medicinal materials he brought from the palace, Lin Qingge was standing on the city tower, dressed in black and white veils, a humble son, Lin Qingge still avoided him.
"Qingge, I think clearly, I want to marry you, not because I am interested in you for a while, but because I am happy with you, I will be a couple for the rest of my life, and I will only accompany you wholeheartedly. After I went back this time, I asked my father to give me a marriage. ”
I didn't see Lin Qingge for a few days, and I learned from Yun Qing's mouth that Lin Qingge couldn't stand it because he hadn't slept for a few hours for half a month, and he fainted while boiling the medicine, and the doctor relieved himself after applying the needle.
He couldn't sit still for a while, regretting in his heart that he kept saying it, and he liked it in his heart, but he didn't even know a little about her, and after breaking into the house all the way away from people, he saw Lin Qingge, who was thinly dressed and wearing a cloak, writing a letter of peace to his family.
"What I said half a month ago is already in smoke, the Fifth Highness still don't remember it, now the court is in turmoil, and the prince is bent on getting rid of you, if you marry the Prime Minister, it is not only the prince who is angry, but also the emperor of the Ninety-Five, such a price may lose all your glory and wealth. ”
Although the words were plain, her heart was already full of thousands of waves, and she was afraid to hear that Xiao Tingyi chose to give up for the sake of power.
"You are the only temptation in my life, even if there are many obstacles in front of me, it is just to face difficulties, if my dignified man can't even protect the person he likes, how can he protect his family and the country, and protect thousands of people. ”
One sentence is enough to represent all determination, Lin Qingge has been moved, a tear slipped down, smudging ink.
"If you are willing to do this for me, I, Lin Qingge, will also seek a lifetime of glory and wealth for you, comfortable and smooth. "She wants to find the position of the Ninety-Five Emperor for Xiao Tingyi, as long as Xiao Tingyi's words.
Lin Qingge knew that because of Xiao Tingyi's mother-concubine relationship, coupled with the ruthlessness of the palace over the years, he had no desire for the throne, and it was impossible to change his idea immediately after hiding his edge for so many years, but fortunately, Xiao Chu created a perfect opportunity.
The plague was all solved, and the two stayed here for a full month, and there was only good news, and on the day of the city's celebration, everyone gathered on the cliff to put lamps and pray for blessings.
"Miss Lin, this time I really thank you for coming in time to save us people and the fire, otherwise...... Hey!" The men, women, and children in the city surrounded Lin Qingge and Xiao Tingyi, and kept thanking them.
During the banquet, many people thanked Lin Qingge and persuaded him to drink again and again, and Lin Qingge, who was poured with glass of wine, had a double image in front of his eyes, and his face turned even redder. "Everyone, Miss Lin is already drunk, and the rest of the wine will be drunk for her, so don't be surprised. Raising his head and raising his glass, the wine glass in Xiao Tingyi's hand was empty.
The emperor sent a new county order to take over the people in the city, Xuan Lin Qingge and Xiao Tingyi returned to the palace to be rewarded, and the time on the road was not in a hurry, and Lin Qingge felt the scenery fully.
Under the gate of Jingzhong City, Shen Jiuge was looking forward to it, she hadn't seen Xiao Tingyi for several days.
In front of several Xiangfu carriages, a man and a woman were riding horses, talking and laughing, and the sunlight seemed to become much more dazzling, stabbing Shen Jiuge unable to open his eyes.
"Miss, you see that the five princes and the unruly young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion are talking and laughing, and they don't know how to avoid it, such a man is not worthy of you at all, Miss, you still need the prince's noble status above ten thousand people and one person to walk with you, so that the general also has face, in the end, the five princes have no benefits except for that face. ”
Shen Jiuge's maid Xiao Tao was sent to her by the queen mother since she was a child, and the two were the same age, and they were still sincere to Shen Jiuge.
Although he was kind enough to say this to earn Xiao Chu a position in Shen Jiuge's heart, it made Shen Jiuge more and more annoyed by Xiao Chu. "Xiao Tao, the next time you chew your tongue like this, you don't know how to restrain at all, so I will let my mother sell you. ”
Shen Jiuge is not stupid, she knows that Xiao Tao has always been the queen's faction, although she is probing all the news, she can not care about the things that she and Xiao Chu have met several times, but no one can say bad things about Xiao Tingyi.
"No, the pink beauty of the Fifth Highness specially came to catch the wind and didn't say a few words?" Looking at Shen Jiuge from afar, Lin Qingge laughed at Xiao Tingyi.
"My father is waiting for us to enter the palace to resume our lives, this kind of thing delays time, let's go directly to the palace. ”
Hearing the vinegar in Lin Qingge's words, Xiao Tingyi was not ambiguous, and gave a clear answer, Lin Qingge rode to the palace gate with satisfaction.
"Okay, good, I am very comfortable to do this, especially Lin Qingge, the daughter of the prime minister, is really a tiger father and no dog daughter, your father helped me plan too many things back then, he was resourceful, and your daughter is not bad, when everyone has nothing to do, she has already taken the antidote with her, you are not afraid that you will never come back?"
In recent years, no woman has been so praised by the emperor.
"The emperor praised falsely, these are just things that the courtiers accidentally bumped into, they were all reminded by the Fifth Highness, if it weren't for the Fifth Highness, I'm afraid the courtiers would not have been able to find the antidote so quickly and save thousands of people from fire and water. ”
There are many benefits to this matter, and being able to take this opportunity to help Xiao Tingyi with a hand is also something that Lin Qingge had planned before.
Sure enough, the emperor was very happy when he heard it, and immediately rewarded everyone: "Yi'er, my father has treated you a little badly over the years, I didn't expect you to be so assertive, you can do things seamlessly, and you have the talent of a general, so it is better to go to General Shen from now on to experience and experience." ”
Xiao Tingyi, who has been doing idle little things for so many years, got such an errand for the first time, and he was satisfied, but he had an expression of wanting to talk and stopping.
"What? Do you have any other reward you want? I am in a very good mood today, just mention it, and I will promise you. ”
The thoughts that have been there for a long time are even clearer at this time. "Father, my son has reached the age of marriage, and my son has a relationship with Miss Lin, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I asked my father to give us a holy decree for his son. ”
