Chapter 48: Forty-Eight Chrysanthemums

Wei Lin's words made Zhao Jinyan a little difficult to face, and in his heart, an indescribable sense of guilt rose.

That's right, although Wei Lin didn't say it, he was indeed selfish in this matter. Xia Furui did not marry the royal brother, but the royal brother fell in love with her, and it was herself...... Before his death, he also expressed his feelings to the imperial brothers, but in the final analysis, they were innocent, they did not have any promises at all, and they did not have any reputation. is that the royal brother is alive now, as long as the two of them have not really decided on a name, he should not use this kind of thinking to look at Xia Furui. What's more, now that the imperial brother has passed away, and the imperial brother's greatest wish before his death is to wish her happiness.

Zhao Jinyan suddenly figured it out at this moment, he would naturally fulfill the imperial brother's last wish to take care of her, if he had taken care of her as an imperial brother before, he would have to change his mind and take care of her as a sister in the future.

Moreover, she was his cousin.

Zhao Jinyan thought of this, and couldn't help but look at Wei Lin, looking up and down.

Wei Lin's skin is very handsome, otherwise the reputation of the first son of the capital is not groundless. Although the personality is sometimes too serious and a little unreasonable, but fortunately, when it comes to important things, the mind is still very clear. In the family lineage, his grandmother is the eldest princess, and she is the son of the Guogong Mansion, and she will definitely be a princess in the future, even if she marries a princess. The most important thing is that although Wei Lin is not young now, he doesn't even have a concubine by his side, and he is not afraid that his backyard will be messy in the future......

If Fleur marries Wei Lin, it is not impossible, maybe it should be said that it is very good.

Zhao Jinyan thought silently, if Wei Lin was sincere to Fu Yuan, he would take the initiative to make the decision to fulfill the two.

After Wei Lin said that, he also carefully observed Zhao Jinyan's face, although the two have been close friends for many years, Zhao Jinyan has always been silent, and it can be said that it is unfathomable, and even he himself can't guess what the other party is thinking in his head on weekdays. If it was anything else, he wasn't afraid that Zhao Jinyan would be angry, after all, Zhao Jinyan had always valued affection, and it was not bad to treat him as a brother, just a woman!

But the woman he mentioned involved the former prince whom Zhao Jinyan respected the most, and he might turn his face in anger.

Wei Lin looked at Zhao Jinyan looking at his face intently, and subconsciously couldn't help but reach out and hold his handsome face, thinking uncertainly, if Zhao Jinyan was really angry and slapped him in the face, should he protect his face.

If he might have dared to imagine fighting back before, but now that he is the emperor, it is not good for him to do it.

The more Wei Lin thought about it, the more he felt that he had just said nonsense, if he was really slapped in the face, how would he go out to meet people in the future! He was crying with a sad face, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when suddenly Zhao Jinyan looked at him and only said one sentence: "I can promise to marry my cousin to you!" ”

"What...... What the? ”

Wei Lin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Zhao Jinyan would think so openly, and even thought of marrying Xia Furui to him.

"I said, if you really like Cousin Fleur, as long as Cousin Furao is also willing, I will give you a marriage and promise your marriage."

Zhao Jinyan repeated with an expressionless face, and even emphasized some explanations.

And Wei Lin's whole face was wrinkled and he couldn't see any handsome shadow at all, and he whispered softly with a depressed expression: "Not sincerely, don't think about it!" ”

"What did you say?"

Zhao Jinyan's eyes paused, and he asked in a stern tone.

Wei Lin was looked at by Zhao Jinyan's stern gaze, his momentum became weaker and weaker, and his head couldn't help but shrink into his neck.

"I'm just ...... It's just a joke, I want to test you, and I don't mean anything else......"

Wei Lin spoke very slowly, a little intermittently, and his voice was very slight, but Zhao Jinyan heard it clearly, and a wave of anger rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but reach out and pull the clothes on Wei Lin's body, and asked in a cold voice: "This kind of thing can also be joked about casually!" ”

"I ......"

Wei Lin was weak and struggled to break free from Zhao Jinyan's hands. Speaking of which, although Zhao Jinyan also practiced martial arts, the prince paid more attention to all-round development, in fact, his fists and feet were not as strong as Wei Lin, who was trained by his father at home since he was a child. It's just that Wei Lin has a weak heart, so he doesn't dare to exert his strength, and for a while, he can't break free from Zhao Jinyan's control.

"Don't think about giving me a marriage, I was really joking with you just now!"

Wei Lin was still weakly defending, and when he saw that Zhao Jinyan was about to come over and raise his fist angrily, he hurriedly shouted: "I'm doing a good deed, your majesty, don't beat me, otherwise isn't this forcing well-wishers to do bad things?" ”

Zhao Jinyan really laughed angrily at Wei Lin's words. In fact, he didn't really want to fight Wei Lin, and he also meant to vent, but Wei Lin was so shameless, she looked at the truth and punched him.

As soon as Wei Lin saw his words, Zhao Jinyan put down the fist in his hand, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Aren't I holding grievances for other people's Fleur girls?" People are obviously in their prime and at a good age, but you just regard them as the widows of your eldest brother, and you don't plan to let people get married! Isn't that a waste of a good girl? ”

"Less nonsense, more nonsense, I don't mind ordering someone to throw you into the water for a dip, and clear your mind."

"Okay, good, your majesty, you are the most powerful, I won't say it!"

Wei Lin sealed his mouth, but he has always been a person who can't stand loneliness, but after a while, he began to chatter and talk: "Your Majesty, in fact, I am really doing good deeds, you see, as soon as I said that, didn't you change your mind, didn't you think about letting Sister Furui be widowed......"

Zhao Jinyan took a deep breath and turned his head to leave. Wei Lin is his good brother, of course he can't do anything to Wei Lin, but Wei Lin at this time is really annoying.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I'm not just for Sister Furui, but also for you, when this filial piety period is over, you will definitely marry the queen. Don't think I don't know, then Yang Qingyi entered the palace twice in three days and wanted to meet you in the name of asking for peace, now that the Yang family is powerful in the court, there will definitely be many courtiers who will elect Yang Qingyi as the queen. That little girl is bad, not to mention that she and Zhao Jinan are not clear, that is, she is still innocent, but it is not good for you to marry her! But it's not easy to find someone with her identity in the court, Sister Furui is sincere to you, and it just so happens that this identity can also suppress Yang Qingyi, you are a pair, isn't it good! ”

Before Wei Lin's words fell, Zhao Jinyan stopped.

Wei Lin looked at Zhao Jinyan's back, only to feel that there was a play, and hurriedly trotted two steps, walked behind Zhao Jinyan, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't look at me as much older than you, but I look at women much more accurately than you." Xia Furui is simple-minded, she is too well protected by the eldest princess of Jinyang, and she is sincere to you, marrying you, she is not thinking about you wholeheartedly, she is the kind of good wife who you let her go east and she dare not go west, you are busy outside, there is such a person in the harem for you to stabilize, the eldest princess of Jinyang, the queen mother, and even the queen mother, can also stabilize ......"

Wei Lin said very quickly, but before he finished speaking, with a "bang", Zhao Jinyan directly turned around and gave Wei Lin a hard punch, and that punch happened to hit the peach blossom eye that he had always been proud of.

"The Emperor's ......"

Wei Lin covered his eyes, and his voice was mournful.

And Zhao Jinyan left quickly, without even turning his head.

In fact, although Zhao Jinyan was annoyed by Wei Lin, he also knew that Wei Lin's appearance was indeed for him, but he didn't want to do this, so he deliberately punched him to end this embarrassing topic.

Marrying Xia Furui as his wife is indeed a good choice for him to get out of his current predicament.

Just like Wei Lin said, Xia Furui's status is heavy enough, she is the queen, and the courtiers will not have objections. And the people behind her who support her are enough to clear some unnecessary troubles for her and him. As for Zhao Jinyan himself, although he needs a queen with a sufficient identity, it is best to be a queen who does not have too much to do with the previous dynasty, especially a queen who can't be too deep in mind and too scheming.

For him, it is a good choice, but for Xia, he is not a good home.

Zhao Jinyan wanted to fulfill the last wish of the first prince, and naturally hoped that Fu Hui would be happy, so he would not consider letting Fu Yuan fall into this quagmire.

Fu Rui didn't know that after she said goodbye to Zhao Jinyan, until she left the palace gate, Zhao Jinyan's mind would change so much.

Speaking of which, Fleur didn't leave the palace gate immediately, and her palanquin didn't even leave the imperial garden, but she met someone again and stopped.

Standing in front of her palanquin were two women dressed as palace concubines.

The two of them have delicate faces and graceful figures, one is slender like a willow, and the other is as delicate as a spring flower, each with a sense of beauty, but Fleur looks at each other's appearance is very unfamiliar, and it is also because she has never seen it.

But I have never seen it, and Fu Hui also recognized the identity of the other party, it should be the two concubines around Zhao Jinyan when he was still the third prince, and they are also the only two harem beauties of Zhao Jinyan now, although the two beauties have been connected to the harem, but because Zhao Jinyan himself has just sat on the throne, he has not been given a gift.

But Rao is like this, Fu Hui doesn't dare to slack off, although the names of the two have not yet been decided, but after all, they are the old people who followed Zhao Jinyan, that is, they have a low status and have not come out, but the future title should be above the concubine position!

Thinking like this, Fleur got out of the sedan chair with a smile and bowed slightly to the two, but the two didn't expect Fleur to be so polite, and they were stunned for a moment, but they immediately returned a full salute.

Speaking of which, this is also why Furao does not pay attention to the affairs of the prince's backyard. After all, outsiders who know about the prince's backyard know that these two people are not characters on the card at all, and these two people are also from palace maids, and they have always been unfavored, so they are cautious and humble. So when I bumped into Fleur's sedan chair, I came over cautiously to say goodbye.

But after all, these two people are still the emperor's harem, and it is impossible to stand on the side of the road like a palace maid to say goodbye, so they let Furui's sedan chair stop.

Both sides saluted politely, of course, there was nothing to conflict, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

It's just that both sides are strangers after all, and it is definitely impossible to really say something happy. The Yang family, who had a more delicate face and figure, was a little older, and seeing that the atmosphere was silent, he smiled and said: "County Lord, Sister Chen and I came to the Imperial Garden for a walk, and I didn't want to run into the county lord, so I came up to say hello." ”

"You're welcome......

The names of these two have not yet been decided, and Fleur does not know each other, and she does not know what to call them for a while, so after thinking about it, in the end she only omitted the title and simply replied.

When Yang heard this, he hurriedly nodded respectfully at Furui.

To be honest, Fleur felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at it, she was already quiet, and she could still talk a few words to familiar people, but when she met strangers, she had nothing to say at all. The atmosphere was awkward at this moment, and she just wanted to leave quickly.

Seeing Furui's appearance, Yang hurriedly pulled Chen to the side to get out of the way, and said with a smile: "The county lord is busy, so my sister and I won't bother the county lord." ”

"It's funny, but I won't disturb the interest of the two mothers."

Hearing this, Fu Rui hurriedly replied with a smile, what she said was also extraordinarily polite, and after finishing speaking, she bowed slightly and bowed before getting on the sedan chair.

Furui's sedan chair left, but Yang and Chen stood still and did not leave.

Chen's face was a little complicated and he said softly: "This Nanyi County Lord should really be majestic, Queen Mother...... Maybe she should be called the queen mother, and she is also an honor for her granddaughter, you see that she left the palace in a sedan chair, I heard that she and the eldest princess of Jinyang every time they first entered the court, they were like this. ”

"The eldest princess of Jinyang is the daughter of the queen mother, and the county lord is the granddaughter of the queen mother, so such an honor and favor should not be rare." Yang's temperament has always been calm, listening to Chen's words, but said in a flat tone, she called the Empress Dowager Wen, and she is still the Empress Dowager, after all, the emperor's will has not yet been made, and she is always right to call her like this.

"That's what you said, but this Nanyi County Lord has a very good temper, before I saw anyone, I thought that she was a proud girl like the sky, and her temperament must be domineering...... In this way, I wish she would be the queen! ”

Chen's heart was straightforward, and he couldn't help but say what was in his heart directly.

But when Yang heard this, he hurriedly squeezed his hand, and said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about, should you say this nonsense?" ”

"Isn't this just the two of us?"

Chen is not afraid at all, although the two are both Zhao Jinyan's women, but Zhao Jinyan has not touched them once over the years, the two of them can't fight for favor if they want to intrigue, but because they are both poor women's loneliness, the two have become good sisters. So speaking to Yang, Chen didn't have too many scruples.

"Actually, sister, you should also know that our two identities are low, and the emperor doesn't look down on the two of us, even if he does, he will definitely not have a chance to be the queen, we are counting on the queen to live in the future, of course, I hope to come to the queen with a better personality, so that the two of us can live better!"

Although Yang did not answer Chen's words, there was a slightly melancholy look on her face, which showed that she also attached great importance to this issue.

Seeing that Yang didn't speak, Chen continued to speak and said slowly: "To be honest, although the young lady of the Yang family treats the two of us as politely, I always feel that this person is not easy to get along with, and I see her running to meet the emperor twice in three days, deliberately creating coincidences, and I am also upset when I look at it!" ”

When Chen mentioned Yang Qingyi, he couldn't help but curl his lips in dissatisfaction, looking disgusted.

Hearing this, Yang sighed lightly, looked at Chen and said softly, "You are quite accurate this time!" ”

Yang actually saw it more thoroughly, although Yang Qingyi treated the two of them as politely, but Yang could see the deliberateness of this politeness and the disdain contained in it. Yang Qingyi looks gentle and gentle on the outside, but her temperament is not as harmless as she appears on the outside, on the contrary, although this Nanyi County Lord is polite with a bit of pride and alienation when he treats them, at least the other party is so clear from the inside out, pure to the extreme.

If he becomes the queen of Nanyi County in the future, as long as she and the Chen family are in peace in the palace, they will not be afraid of a bad life, but Yang Qingyi is different......

It's just that I heard that the emperor had a problem with the eldest princess of Jinyang, the mother of the lord of Nanyi, and now the eldest princess of Jinyang is weak, that is, there is a Empress Dowager Wen in the palace, and I am afraid that the possibility of the lord of Nanyi becoming the queen is not great. Not to mention......

"Sister, I heard that the emperor has affection for Miss Yang, have you heard of this?"

Although Chen said carefully just now, her expression was very natural, and she didn't look like she was talking about other people's affairs, but when it came to the emperor at this time, her voice was much softer, "I listened to Xiaocui in my room, when the emperor was still the third prince in the past, it is said that the study has a collection of poems by Miss Yang......"

The smile on Yang's face froze slightly, and Chen sighed lightly and said the last sentence: "Treat it like a treasure!" Our emperor is a person who loves to learn, and Miss Yang is said to be a famous talented woman in Beijing, and he must like it. ”

"Don't say it, it's not good for people to hear it."

Yang doesn't like to listen to this, to be honest, she knows that she has no possibility, but she doesn't like to expose her shortcomings, she and Chen are both palace maids, and they have been in the palace since they were children.

Yang doesn't like to listen, so why is Chen willing to listen, but there are too many complaints in her heart at this time.

"Then Miss Yang is very positive, she entered the palace twice in three days, and deliberately met the emperor, and I don't know where so many coincidences came from, that is, we walked in the imperial garden twice, and we bumped into the emperor twice, but those two times, Yang Qingyi is still there!"

Chen gritted his teeth and gnawed his teeth, "She is so active, the emperor already likes her, and he must have paid more attention to her, I see where others still have any opportunities!" When our emperor didn't become the emperor before, there was no such thing! ”

"But now that the emperor is already the emperor, it's naturally different!"

The Yang family sighed softly, in fact, these things should not be considered by them, in addition to the queen in the future, there will be many women with prominent families in the palace, and she and the Chen family are only afraid that they will be the two most humble among all the harem concubines.

She and the Chen family were originally selected from the palace maids to guide the prince's personnel, they were born like this, if they were lucky, they became the first woman of the prince, and they were able to give birth to a son and a half daughter. But on the contrary, Zhao Jinyan has never even touched them, it is impossible for heirs, grace cannot be talked about, and there is no way to talk about old love.

In a few days, I am afraid that the emperor will also issue an order to start sealing the throne, the Yang family only hopes to get a good position, and the life can be better, but if you want to be your own master, to be the master of the palace, at least you have to be a concubine, and the Yang family feels slim when you think about it.

Yang suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart, and when he turned his head to look at Chen, he saw that she was still angry, but patted her shoulder with a smile, and said softly: "Okay, okay, don't look like this, let's not go back to this garden!" ”

"Why don't you go shopping?"

Chen raised his head and was surprised, didn't this come out for a walk, wasn't it also Yang's mentions?

"I'm afraid that we will walk around later, and I will see the emperor and Miss Yang meet again, you are so excited now, I am afraid that you will not be able to control your feelings for a while......"

"Uh...... Don't talk nonsense! It's a shame to think about! ”

When Chen was told this by Yang, he lost interest in an instant.

Speaking of which, these two are really crow's mouths, and this matter is really for the two of them.

Zhao Jinyan hadn't walked out of the yard yet, but in a bush of chrysanthemums, he bumped into Yang Qingyi.

Yang Qingyi wore a pale yellow wide-waisted plain dress, which was very thin and very elegant, her hair was simply tied in a bun, without any hairpin rings, only slightly tied up with a goose yellow ribbon, a cold wind blew, and the hair and skirt that fell down moved with the wind, and her posture was graceful and moving.

She bent over, held a clump of white chrysanthemums in her hand, and whispered: "The garden is full of golden chrysanthemums, and there are lonely bushes that are like frost." ”

When Zhao Jinyan stopped, she seemed to hear the movement, and hurriedly let go of the hand holding Bai Ju, stood up and saluted softly in the direction of Zhao Jinyan: "Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Jinyan bowed slightly, his face was still cold, but Yang Qingyi didn't seem to see it, just smiled at Zhao Jinyan, turned his eyes back to the chrysanthemum, slowly bent down and picked up the bouquet of white chrysanthemums again, and said softly: "The courtier made the emperor smile, but on the way to ask the queen mother for peace, she passed by this cluster of golden chrysanthemums, and suddenly found this bunch of white chrysanthemums, and sighed." I don't want the emperor to bump into it! ”

Although Yang Qingyi's face is only delicate and lovely, it is not extremely beautiful, but she has a pair of very beautiful hands, her fingers are as slender as onion tubes, and her skin is white and tender.
