Hibiscus Hall

Lin Yuan sat beside the emperor, gently rubbed and slowly pinched his temples and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine sees that you are very tired today, how about a little soothing incense?" ”

"Well, whatever you want." Gao Cheng said casually, as if he was extremely enjoying such a technique, Lin Yuan hooked the corners of his lips and smiled without a trace, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, how is the matter of the Lu State Mansion?" ”

Gao Cheng said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother has already told me about this matter, and you don't have to worry about Luo Wanlin's affairs in the future." ”

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, her face was extremely ugly, and she smiled extremely embarrassedly: "The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor means." ”

Gao Cheng raised his eyebrows impatiently: "You just need to take good care of the child in your belly, and you don't have to worry about other things." ”

Now that the emperor has said this, Lin Yuan's eyes have a gloomy look, so she is a Lin Ran actually took her out of the army and moved the queen mother out, and all the plans that had been prepared were broken, and I couldn't help but feel resentful.

At this time, Gao Cheng, who was lying in her arms, squinted his eyes and said, "You don't have to worry about other things, keep your little mind for me to have a good baby." ”

"Yes, the concubine understands." Lin Yuan bit her lip, unwilling to say softly, Lin Xuanran, let you escape this time, maybe next time.

In the Taiwei Mansion, it was laughter and laughter at this time.

Plates of delicacies from the mountains and seas were served by a group of maidservants in the same costumes, which was as overwhelming as flowing water.

Lan Yan took a glass of wine and said to everyone, "Thank you for coming to the old birthday banquet." ”

Several princes raised their glasses and congratulated him with a smile.

Lan Yan was so attentive that he held his glass, and personally stood up and poured a full glass for the prince: "Thank you for the prince for coming over to participate in the old man's birthday banquet." ”

The crown prince nodded shallowly, his eyelashes were hidden in his deep eyes, and his smile did not change: "Father can't come in person, but he sent a congratulatory gift." He clapped his hands, and the guard stepped forward with a pair of calligraphy and paintings.

"This is the landscape map of Lin Yuan from the previous dynasty." The prince explained to him, Lan Yan's face was overjoyed, and he took the picture with both hands, everyone knew that Lin Yuan's painting was hard to find, who would have thought that the emperor would actually give this precious painting to Lan Taiwei, it seems that the emperor attaches great importance to his birthday banquet this time.

Lan Yan bowed his head respectfully: "Thank you for the emperor's gift." After he finished speaking, he raised his glass to the princes around him to celebrate.

After three rounds of drinking, the third prince Gao Liqian gently asked the second brother beside him: "Why didn't the fifth brother come today?" ”

Gao Xuankun sighed helplessly: "This kid is like a loach, I can't find him, I don't know where to go to Gentle Township." ”

"Didn't you always have a soft spot for the third lady of Lin Shangshu's Mansion before? Why has he stopped now? The third prince continued to ask curiously, his younger brother basically has no hobbies, but loves beauty and wine.

"I'm afraid that his Meng Lang's temperament will scare the third lady away." The second prince smiled faintly and took a sip of wine, "But when the time comes, the royal family will be close to each other." ”

"Second sister Gao Lin?" The third prince frowned slightly, he didn't have a good impression of this second imperial sister, but after all, he was also a royal descendant, so he couldn't say anything.

The silk bamboo pipa flute in the audience was singing harmoniously, the singers on the stage danced, Gao Lian lowered his eyes and silently hid in the corner drinking tea, and talked about Lin Ran for his brother, and did not say a word, nor did he participate in the discussion, but the third prince saw Gao Lian silent, and couldn't hold back his curiosity and came to his side and asked: "Seventh brother, I heard that you were sick a few days ago, how are you now?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, Gao Lian is already fine." Gao Lian's faint words made the third prince hit a lukewarm nail, but he didn't give up, he had already heard that the third lady seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with this younger brother, and he still didn't give up and asked: "What do you think of the third miss?" ”

Gao Lian lowered his eyes, thinking of Lin Ran's cute appearance, and hooked the corners of his lips as if he had nothing to do: "Versatile." ”

"yes." The third prince's eyes lit up suddenly, "This young lady not only has a beautiful face, but her talent is also better than that of other Jin Dynasty women, but I see that she lives in a simple place, and it is difficult to invite, can you ask the seventh brother to give me a face and invite her out to play together?" ”

Gao Lian's hand sipped when he drank tea, the third prince seemed to be romantic, but in fact he was not a fuel-efficient lamp, on the surface, he seemed to like beauties as much as the fifth prince, but in fact, he still liked the family background behind Lin Ranran and the relationship between the Lu Guogong Mansion.

actually moved his brain to his woman's head, Gao Lian's eyes flashed with a trace of light, and then he raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "I don't have any friendship with this third lady." ”

"But, I listen." The third prince wanted to say something, but the prince interrupted him: "Haha, third brother, it seems that the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and I can't see that this third lady has aroused everyone's idea!" ”

The prince's simple words suddenly made the situation a little embarrassing, fortunately, Lan Yan was a peacemaker in it, and seeing that everyone was not interested in the dance on stage, he quickly clapped his hands: "The old man sees that everyone is not interested, so it is better to change the show!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a young girl in pink light gauze slowly walked out from behind the screen.

Lan Yan glanced at the crown prince, and then at the second prince Gao Xuankun and said, "This is the little girl Yanling." ”

The sixth prince Gao Xianxuan said to Gao Lian on the side: "This is his little daughter, I didn't expect that such a treasure would be willing to come out today?" ”

Gao Lian smiled disapprerovingly, "Anyway, it's not for you and me to see." ”

At this time, I heard Lan Yan introduce to everyone: "The little girl knows a little bit about dancing, and she is ugly to everyone." ”

As she spoke, Lan Yanling twisted her waist and began to dance, the originally embarrassing atmosphere suddenly quieted down, looking at the moving and graceful dancing and beauties on the stage, most of the people showed amazing looks.

Only Gao Lian thought of a person through her dancing, although that person was not good at dancing, he could play a good piano, and the faint sound of the piano made people want to listen to it.

"I still think Lin Ranran's dancing is good." The sixth prince on the side muttered in a low voice, Gao Lian's expression changed slightly, and soon disappeared in his eyes, "Have you seen her dance?" ”

The sixth prince said with a smile: "I once secretly saw Lin Xuanran and Lin Zixuan competing in the seventh brother's palace. ”

"Oh?" Gao Lian raised an eyebrow.

The sixth prince smiled at him and didn't continue to speak, and at the same time, Lan Yanling, who was dancing on the stage, looked in the direction of Gao Lian while dancing, and saw his handsome face, and her face turned even redder.

"I wonder how the little girl dances?" Lan Yan asked the crown prince and the second prince on the side, and the prince took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Miss Lan's dancing skills are naturally good. The second prince just smiled and nodded without saying a word

The two of them said so obviously that Lan Yan's face became a little unsightly, in fact, this time he invited the prince to come over to celebrate his birthday banquet, nothing more than to draw a red thread for his daughter, if the prince can take a fancy to his daughter, at least he can be a side concubine, if he ascends the throne in the future, maybe he can be crowned a concubine, the second prince is a celebrity next to the emperor, and it is also advantageous to marry his daughter to him, but the royal descendants are not fools, how can they not see the thoughts of this old fox, everyone has to play Tai Chi in a few words, It made Lan Yan angry.

At this time, Lan Yanling finished dancing, but Gao Lian got up and said, "This king still has to take a step in advance." ”

Lan Yan's face was suddenly embarrassed, and he threw his hopeful eyes at the prince, but the prince just smiled and said, "Seventh brother, since you have something, you can go first!" ”

"Yes." After Gao Lian finished speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation.

After all the princes left, Lan Yanling was so angry that she threw all the porcelain that could be dropped to the ground, Lan Yan looked at those porcelains and felt distressed, but he was still cautious: "Child, you beware of scratching yourself, the prince doesn't want you, there are still many young talents in the Jin Dynasty!" ”

Lan Yanling is his only daughter and his pearl, as her daughter grows up, her fame spreads, I don't know how many people come to ask for marriage, so that those sons and brothers are eager to kiss, but this daughter is extremely assertive, to decide his own marriage, as a father, he had no choice but to agree to her request, at first she proposed to let all the princes come to his birthday banquet, thinking that she took a fancy to the prince and wanted to be the princess, so he decided to try his best to match, who expected him to find that his daughter's careful thinking was not in this.

Lan Yanling was extremely annoyed, in order to get close to Prince Jane, she tried a lot of effort, but this man didn't appreciate it at all, and sat on the chair angrily, "I don't care, I want to marry Prince Jane, I must marry him." ”

"Daughter, why didn't you say earlier that you liked Prince Jane?" Lan Yan said to his daughter flatteringly, "If you insist on marrying him, Daddy can wish you a hand!" "This daughter is his baby, what she wants, he is the moon in the sky and has to be plucked for her, what is a mere Prince Jane, even if she wants to be the emperor's concubine, he will do his best to do it for her.

"Really?" Lan Yanling's face suddenly became overjoyed, "Daddy, do you have a way?" ”

"Of course, are you still afraid of things that Daddy can't decide?" Lan Yan touched her hair fondly, secretly thinking that now the battle for the throne of the emperor is getting more and more intense, and many princes have exhausted their rights in order to win over the officials in the court, of course, he also knows that Prince Jane, who has no father and no mother, also has such plans, if he can help him, maybe his daughter can become his princess.

"Thank you, Dad." Lan Yanling happily hugged her father's neck.

In the study of Prince Jane's mansion

Qin An reported to Gao Lian about Lin Ranran's recent situation, especially mentioning that Tang Zhiqin had also been here, and he sighed lightly and said, "Got it." He knew that his cousin would not let go so easily, and it seemed that he and Ran still had a long way to go.

"Anything else?" Gao Lian raised his head and asked Qin An, and Qin An replied: "In the past few days, the second prince has secretly trained a group of dead soldiers, and he has also moved very closely with Lin Jingke, I am afraid that he wants to use the military power in his hands, Lord Wang, what should we do next?" If the second princess marries into Shangshu Mansion, won't it be the icing on the cake for Lin Jingke? ”

Gao Lian smiled without raising his eyebrows: "No, the emperor is just testing them now, but the second brother is too anxious." ”

Qin An frowned in confusion, not understanding what the prince meant, Gao Lian looked at him and explained: "They tried their best to sit on the throne, but they also forgot that the emperor's house is the most cruel, this king's uncle is moody, and Lin Jingke seems to be smart but is a pathetic person, he is just a chess piece in the hands of the second prince, if the emperor trusts him, he can go to the next level, with the gradual increase of his knowledge, his status is increasing, his ambition is gradually flourishing, one day the second prince will not need him, That was the end of his life. ”

Qin An nodded thoughtfully, feeling that the prince's words were extremely reasonable, and couldn't help but think, the prince's journey was indeed not easy, when he was young, those descendants of the royal family hurt him when they saw that the prince had no father or mother, let him learn to bark and eat dog shit, and he was always scarred every time he came back, although Qin An was only a few years older than him, he also knew that this prince could not only endure hardships but also endure patience, and all the spirits he possessed were not possessed by those princes, so he admired him even more as a master.

At this time, a subordinate knocked on the door with an invitation: "Lord, the queen has invited you to the palace once." ”

Imperial Palace, Ciyuan Palace

The whole hall was bright, all the curtains were drawn, and in the corridor outside the hall stood groups of Praetorian Guards, with solemn faces and straight figures, like well-trained terracotta warriors.

At this time, Gao Lian stood in the main hall, looking at the queen Tian Ruixin who was wearing a red palace dress with an expressionless face, the queen's skirt had been dragging to the ground, the cherry blossom earrings on her ears shook slightly, and she slowly walked to the center of the hall, dressed up properly, with a smile on her delicate face.

"What do you think of this palace, this Ciyuan Palace, is it that it has been renovated this time, do you think the space is larger?"

Gao Lian said lightly: "This is the emperor who loves the queen." ”

"Huh, really? However, it was the first time for him to carry out such a large-scale repair, if it weren't for Concubine Rong's pregnancy, he wouldn't even be willing to do superficial work. The queen smiled coldly, "Gao Lian, come here." ”

Gao Lian just said, "Just stand here." ”

"Hehe, you and Bengong are really strange enough!"

Gao Lian lowered her eyes and was silent, looking at the queen's eyes, a touch of anger rose in her heart, she took a heavy breath, calmed her anger and started a smile: "Once the emperor has sacrificed his ancestors here, I didn't expect the emperor to give this palace to this king, if you didn't leave the palace at that time, maybe." "Maybe you are the emperor, she said this, and glanced at Gao Lian with an indifferent expression.

There was a hint of mockery at the corner of Gao Lian's mouth, but when the queen looked at him, he quickly returned to his usual expression, lowered his eyes, and stood speechless.

"What Niangniang means, the minister understands." The queen wanted to renew her old relationship with him, but she said it so vaguely, when she saw him so miserable, she couldn't blink her eyes, and now she wants to redeem it, don't you think it's too late.

"All of you go down!" The queen waved her hand, and the palace maids and eunuchs all retreated, although the relationship between the prince and the queen was ambiguous, but this was a matter for the masters, they didn't dare to mess with the root of the lord's tongue, so they all didn't dare to retreat.

The queen's eyes fell on Gao Lian's body, and her eyes were full of love: "This palace is really envious of your sister, who has such a son who is both civil and military, but..."

After everyone retreated, the whole hall was as quiet as if it was silent, this queen has always had a strange temperament, and she does not please the emperor, but she is also very majestic, no one can guess what the queen is thinking, the window screen is gently blown by the breeze, and it also blows a strand of Tian Ruixin's hair.

Some feelings poured out of Gao Lian's eyes, but he slowly pressed down, and when he raised his eyes, he was already light: "The minister is grateful to the queen for her love for the minister, if there is no help from the mother's family, the minister and his sister would have starved to death when they were young." His tone was very indifferent, as if it had happened yesterday, no resentment, no anger, just a complete diminution of everything.

However, all this did not satisfy the queen, and the storm brewed in the depths of her eyes, but she still pressed it, shook her hand without a trace, and smiled softly, which was particularly harsh in the empty hall.

Gao Lian raised her head and met the queen's scrutinizing gaze, the queen looked at his handsome face, and the fragment of their relationship flashed in her mind, when she knew that her mother was going to marry Prince Jane's son, she used to secretly look at the handsome young man at that time, and secretly looked forward to marrying him as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, the accident ruined a family, and also destroyed all the hypocrisy on the surface, until she married into the royal family and climbed into the emperor's bed, she knew that since her mother died, Gao Lian has been living an inhuman life, being looked down upon by all the princes, bullied by them, scolded by them, and even made him a male pet, and now when she meets this face again, she is afraid to see his cold eyes, as if she can see his ugly self in the past from his eyes.

She wore the most glorious clothes, sat in the highest honor position, and looked like the most noble woman of the Jin Dynasty, but, after all, they could never go back, just like back then, before she got married, she secretly thought about marrying him, but after that accident, the family ruthlessly turned over with Prince Jane's mansion and canceled the friendship, and the mother adopted Gao Lian and Gao Ming under great pressure, originally thought that she would be with him forever, but after the death of her mother, it completely changed, When she learned that she was going to marry the supreme emperor when she was young, Gao Lian disappeared, obviously two people who loved each other but failed to be together because of the wrong marriage, from then on she could only break her thoughts, step by step according to the family's wishes to sit on the supreme throne, and she also lost her beloved lover, why, fate played tricks on people, can't let them be together.

Gao Lian lowered her head, did not look at the queen, and she also woke up from the depths of her memory, her eyes slowly became soft, and she was no longer a tense and uncertain queen, like a lover who had been reunited for a long time looked at Gao Lian: "Do you know that the emperor can live for a few more years?" ”

Gao Lian was stunned in his heart, he knew earlier that the emperor was eating those elixirs, but he guessed that this would not be the real elixir, I was afraid that it was a life-threatening poison.

"I think someone as smart as you should be able to guess who gave this pill!" The queen smiled.

"Please make it clear to the queen, Gao Lian doesn't know."

The queen looked at his docile expression with satisfaction, and smiled even more movingly: "It's Lin Yuan, that is, Lin Yuanran's aunt, and now the two of us are working together to deal with the emperor." Gao Lian couldn't help frowning, secretly wondering if this woman was crazy, and even said this.

"Queen Mother, please be cautious in your words and deeds!" Gao Lian frowned.

The queen said with a happy smile: "Do you know why this palace is telling you? Gao Lian, because you are the lover of this palace, only you are the one of this palace, and no one can snatch it away. ”

Queen Tian Ruixin has been blinded by jealousy, she thinks about how to get rid of the emperor and let her beloved man sit on the supreme throne, but Gao Lian rejects her again and again, making her always arrogant personality embarrassed.

Gao Lian looked indifferent, and smiled slightly: "Thank you for the queen's love, the minister will not be blessed." ”

So obviously a word of refusal made the queen laugh instead of anger, this is the man she fell in love with, if he is grateful, bowing to her is not a real Gao Lian, then the backbone of the man is what she appreciates, the queen looked at him, and immediately chuckled: "This palace really didn't misunderstand you, this palace knows that the competition between the princes is very fierce now, if you are willing to be with this palace, this palace can wish you a hand, why do you have to refuse." Tian Ruixin's meaning is very clear, as long as Gao Lian follows her, he can fight for 30 years less, maybe relying on her power, he can still be the emperor, how can Gao Lian not see what she means.

However, he just smiled faintly and refused her invitation: "Thank you for the queen's love, Gao Lian is no longer small, my father had already added Ding to the family when he was the age of the minister, and now there is only the minister left in Prince Jian's mansion, and the minister must inherit it." ”

Gao Lian's answer made the queen stunned, but she quickly turned back to her senses, and she smiled gently: "It seems that you are unwilling to accept the will of this palace, if you insist on doing so, this palace will make the decision for you and point out a good marriage!" Although she said with a smile, a touch of jealousy flashed in her heart, some time ago she had been prepared, knowing that Gao Lian would refuse, she had already chosen the best candidate for Gao Lian to marry, and this girl could be controlled by her, as long as this girl died, Gao Lian would be hers, but the queen had a calculation in her heart, but Gao Lian was not as he wanted, he just smiled indifferently, and refused without thinking: "Thank you for the kindness of the queen, the minister's marriage is naturally to make his own decisions, And the Queen Mother has already allowed this matter. He told her plainly that he was free to marry and that no one could manipulate him.

"Oh, why is that?" The queen had a look of great surprise on her face.

Gao Lian slowly spoke: "The queen mother has always had the grace of admiration for the minister, and once thought about matching the marriage between her daughter and the minister, but the minister refused, because the minister suffered from an old disease, and was afraid that it would affect the future of the girl's family. ”

"When did it happen, why didn't Hongu know?" The queen suddenly asked nervously, and Gao Lian said indifferently: "It was a time when I fell off a horse, and now the minister is taking Chinese medicine every day to regulate his body." ”

"How can this work, this palace will let the imperial doctor take the pulse for you." She secretly thought that if something went wrong with the man's place, where would she be happy in the future, Gao Lian had already seen through her thoughts, and said with a steady expression: "Queen Mother, please rest assured, the minister is already recuperating every day, and there is no need to see a doctor." ”

The queen met his gaze straight, and there was a faint mockery in her eyes: "This palace sees that you are sick or not, and there are other people in your heart who are true!" This palace has long heard that you are very close to the lord of Hanyue, but is it true? ”

Gao Lian said lightly: "Queen Mother, Chen and Lin are just friends. "Friends?" The queen still had a smile on her face, and her smile was like the chill of an ice cellar, "Do you think that this palace doesn't know your relationship with her, the matter of Qian Mansion is actually your doing, if you didn't save her, how could Qian Rong be injured, this palace knows you so well, and also understands your temperament, it is impossible for an ordinary friend to be so anxious, and even take risks." “

The cold air in the queen's words permeated silently, almost soaking into the human body, "Gao Lian, this palace must remind you that although Lin is beautiful and young, but after all, she is a person who came back from the cemetery, not to mention the evil aura on her body, and Kefu, if you keep such a person by your side, what danger will there be, you know?" Thou hast the noblest blood in thy vein, and thou shalt marry the filthy man. “

Gao Lian just stood there quietly, looking straight at the queen with no fear: "Dare to ask, why did the queen mother match the marriage between the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and Lin Ranran?" You know that Li Jin is a sick man, but you insist on marrying a good girl to a person like him, dare to ask what your intentions are? “

The queen's face changed, and her eyes almost narrowed into a line: "Presumptuous, when will it be your turn to question the palace, Gao Lian, you figure it out, don't think that the palace likes you, you can do whatever you want." “

There was a look of panic on Gao Lian's face, on the contrary, his expression was extremely calm and said: "Niangniang, the minister is just telling the truth, why doesn't Niangniang refuse to answer?" “

The queen smiled coldly: "You are a smart person, you should know the reason, you should know who this palace is doing all this for." “

Of course Gao Lian knew, I didn't know that he knew, even Lin Ran also understood that this queen had tried everything to get him, knowing that Gao Lian liked her, and made it difficult for her again and again, when she was asked to marry Li Jin, first, she could get rid of the thorn in her eye, and on the other hand, she could make Gao Lian angry, and the method of killing two birds with one stone allowed her to win-win, but unexpectedly, Gao Lian saw through the trick, but this time she was not ready to let go, Gao Lian is his in this life and this life. "Lin Ran's heart is too scheming, she calculates everything too well, such a person is not good for you." The queen said lightly: "This palace knows that there are nursery rhymes circulating in the market, and this palace will turn a blind eye, after all, men should focus on the great cause, and this woman is too calculating, and too provoking right and wrong, this palace thinks she is not suitable for you." “

Seeing Gao Lian's indifference, the queen sighed: "You may think that this palace is jealous of her, but this palace also warns you, Lin Ran is too sharp, such a person will resent, expose all his shortcomings, and such a woman is often the most stupid, if you go to help her, you will also fall into it, why bother?" “

This queen is very smart, knowing that Gao Lian is soft and hard and doesn't eat, so she simply persuaded him from Lin Ranran's point of view, let him know the pros and cons of things, and moved him with affection and reason, but Gao Lian is a person who has lived two lives, how can he not know those little Jiujiu in the queen's heart, now she says it very well, but if it really comes to that time, this queen will not be like this. "Thank you for the queen's concern, Gao Lian knows what he is doing!" He knows what he is doing, it has nothing to do with others at all, even if it is the queen, at that time so difficult has passed, and he is afraid that this queen will not succeed, but the queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and one day she will suddenly fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

Gao Lian frowned, he had to speed up his actions, according to the queen's character, she would not give up if she did not achieve her goal, he couldn't say a word again, otherwise the person who was threatened would be surprised, and he didn't want his beloved woman to be hurt.

For a while, the atmosphere in the main hall was extremely oppressive, like the silence before a storm.

To tell the truth, Gao Lian did not agree with the queen's statement, everyone looked at Lin Ran and felt that she was an unlucky woman, and her health was not good, although she was beautiful but useless, but in fact, she seemed innocent but extremely patient, and treated the enemy without mercy, and occasionally made some mistakes, but in order to protect her family, she became a woman with a strong will, in Shangshu Mansion, she lived a frightened life, and her mother and sister looked down on her, and even threatened her life, How could she sit back and wait for death, at this time she could only deal with them with a tooth for a tooth, it seemed that her methods were cruel, but he knew that she was just a protective color to protect himself. Others can't see through her, but he is sorry for her in such a difficult environment, because they are almost the same kind of people, but the means used are different, but the queen doesn't understand her, and she can't understand it at all, but Gao Lian is not so kind to remind her,

just smiled and said: "I respect the teachings of the mother, the minister still has important matters, so I will retire." “

The queen stared at him, knowing that it was useless to persecute him now, so she could only say softly: "You have to remember what this palace said just now, and don't hinder your future for the sake of such a woman." “

Gao Lianyi saluted as usual and retreated without saying a word.

Looking at his back, the queen's face became gloomy, and at this time, Mama Jin said outside: "The second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion asks to see her." "Let her in."

After a while, a young woman walked in from outside the door, her face was slightly pale, but her eyes were extraordinarily deep, and she blessed the queen: "I have seen the queen's mother." "Did you meet Prince Jane just now, what do you think?" The queen asked lightly.

The woman's cheeks climbed with a hint of red: "Yes, Niangniang, I saw it." "What do you think of him?" The queen said with a smile.

Tian Lianying took a deep breath and said respectfully: "Back to Niangniang, Prince Jian is both civil and military, and he can be called a dragon and phoenix among people." “

The queen rarely showed a satisfied smile, pulled her over, and said softly: "As long as you like it, that's right, this palace wants you to marry him." “

Tian Lianying looked at her aunt, her face turned even redder, although she had heard her father say earlier that her aunt wanted to make Prince Jian and her a pair, her heart was beating uncontrollably, Prince Jian was the lover that all women in the Jin Dynasty wanted to dream of, originally thought that he would have something to do with that young lady, who would have thought that such a good thing would actually fall on her head.

The queen looked at her expression, and her smile became deeper and deeper: "Gao Lianyi's future is limitless, this marriage can be said to have only advantages and no disadvantages, I hope that after you marry him, you will assist him well, and more importantly, let him always stand on the side of the Tian family." “

Tian Lianying's heart was beating like a drum, and she didn't know how to respond for a while. Maybe she doesn't have to say anything, the queen has already arranged everything, and as a woman from a family, she has no way to choose her husband. But Prince Jane ...... She thought about it for a while, and then said: "Niangniang, Prince Jian already has a heart, and it is counterproductive for his niece to stick in like this. “

The queen's fingers suddenly increased with weight, as if even her fingers were about to be pinched off: "Men are amorous, like beauties like Lin Xuanran, it is easy to get a man's favor, but men are also easy to forget, in terms of appearance, temperament, and learning, you press her in every way." Gao Ripple is not a fool, how to choose between the phoenix and the pheasant, he will understand after all. “

Tian Lianying waved her hand and said: "The lord of Hanyue County is as beautiful as a flower and talented, how can Lianying compare with her." “

A hint of annoyance flashed in the queen's cold eyes: "Mercy, you are too arrogant, you are young and beautiful, how can you compare with that county lord, let alone Prince Jane, even you can do the position of the crown princess." Of course, this was just what the queen deliberately coaxed her to say, in fact, she also said such a thing in order to use her niece, because she knew that Tian Lianying was honest and in poor health, and she was the person she could control the most, so after thinking about it, she would choose her.

Tian Lianying was a little speechless and stopped, she felt that Lin Ran was not as simple as the queen said, although she was raised in the boudoir, but she also heard some things about Miss Lin San, she was brave and bold, punished the ruffians and hooligans, and showed her talents at the banquet of the crown princess, such a woman is respectable and terrifying, if she is an enemy, how many lives can she live, she thought to herself, although the queen's conditions are quite tempting, but she doesn't want to make trouble for herself.

When Lin Ran knew the news that the queen intended to give Gao Lian the marriage, he just raised his eyebrows lightly, and Lu Liu was anxious: "Miss, aren't you in a hurry?" "What's the hurry?" A slight smile appeared on her face: "The queen wants to marry him, how can I solve it?" "I'm not a man of God, what can I do?" She continued to read when the green willows were air.

Midori Liu frowned: "Aren't you and Prince Jane..." “

Lin suddenly glanced at her, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper: "Yes what, no what, even if I and the prince really have something, it is between men and women, but once it comes to the royal family, it is really involuntarily." “

Green Willow couldn't help but be even more anxious, as soon as she thought that the prince was about to be robbed by those bad women, she was worried about her young lady, but looking at her expression as if there was no one, she said: "Aren't you and the prince have a heart-to-heart exchange?" “

Lin Ranran's smile slowly faded: "What do I want to communicate with him, he is a busy man, how can I have time to care what he is doing?" "But miss, the slave and maid remember that the prince was injured some time ago, and you are more anxious than anyone else, shouldn't you make a promise with your body?" Midori Willow seemed to understand something, and her smile gradually expanded.

Lin Ran smiled coldly, if you don't frame me, don't I know your little bit of caution? ”

"But Miss, the slave is really worried about you, if the prince is really snatched away, what will you do?" Lu Liu asked in a low voice, but the bean sprouts smiled and said, "Don't worry, my young lady won't let those women snatch the prince." ”

"Look." Dou Sprouts pointed to Gao Lian, who came from a distance, and said with a smile: "Don't you see that the prince is here?" What are you bothering about here? Why don't you go and bring tea and water. ”

"Hmph, when is it your turn to teach me a lesson, miss!" Lu Liu looked at Lin Ranran with an aggrieved face, and Lin Ranran was made to cry and laugh by this pair of living treasures: "You guys, what should you do, don't disturb this girl to read." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the green willow and the bean sprouts giggled away.

"What's the matter, are you angry?" Gao Lian hugged her from behind and asked softly, Lin suddenly shook his head, biting his lip and looking at his handsome face: "How dare I be angry?" ”

"But I see you losing your temper at your own maid? Is it for the queen's marriage? Gao Lian asked softly.

"Hmph, don't put gold on your face." Lin suddenly snorted disapprerovingly, picked up the book and pretended to look at it, but it attracted Gao Lian's chuckle: "Your book is reversed." Lin suddenly blushed, threw down the book, and ran straight to the room, not seeing Gao Lian's fleeting smile, this girl, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed, but for some reason looking at her blushing appearance, the originally depressed mood suddenly improved.
