Chapter 311: Reaction
The old princess of Duanwangfu was frightened by the queen mother's momentum at the moment, so she looked at her with a smile and a daze, she looked like she was about to enter the coffin, what kind of trouble is this now?
It's just that she hasn't figured it out yet, and when she came back to her senses, she saw the Queen Mother squinting slightly and looking at her with displeasure, the old princess knew that the Queen Mother was the biological mother of the Supreme Emperor of the harem, and she couldn't be offended, so she thought about it with a shy smile: "It's the sister of Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, her grandfather was a scholar from the University of Zengguan, and the second girl of the Lin family." ”
The Queen Mother listened to her repeat, and only then did she think about this person, it turned out to be Lin Long's sister of the stinky girl who ruined her good deeds, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she lay back with a relaxed posture. "Why did you fall in love with her?"
The old princess kept carefully looking at the queen mother's expression and movements, and when she saw that she was not angry, she said again; "Isn't it just to see that her eldest sister can give birth, I believe that this sister will not be bad, in fact, in the final analysis, it is still my grandson, he is afraid that his reputation is not good, and he will go to the door to propose marriage, but people will not allow it, no, he went to the queen mother to ask for grace."
The queen mother immediately grasped the key, Duan Wangye, the scum of the royal family, was in his favor, but he still asked for his own marriage, obviously sure that the woman's family would not nod and agree to the marriage, and her mind changed, she even thought that this Duan Wang Ye must have done something that the Lin family hated, otherwise the Lin family would not even give him a chance to propose marriage, let him act in such a roundabout way.
It can be said that the queen mother has experienced a lot of people, so she can soon see the essence through the phenomenon, on this point, the old princess of Duanwangfu is not as good as her, and she is also well versed in the inferior nature of men, this prince will definitely not change his ways, and he will get this woman by any means, and eighty percent of it is used for spoiling and revenge.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but laugh out loud, she was worried that there was no way to fix Lin Long's stinky girl, no, as soon as she fell asleep, God sent a pillow, as long as she nodded, Lin Long's sister would be doomed, just thinking about it made her so excited that her whole body was hot, and she couldn't wait to see the painful and helpless expression on Lin Long's face.
The old princess couldn't help but feel furious when she saw the queen mother smiling weirdly, but it was just a marriage request, was it scary to show her this face? Her heart is beating faster, and she is like a tiger, don't look at the queen mother's listless appearance, it's really hard to take a life.
"Niangniang, if it's not appropriate, just treat it as a courtier, and never mention it......" She thought about retreating, and regretted a little why she didn't ask Queen Su to fulfill it, after all, Queen Su is Lin Long's stepmother, and now the second girl of the Lin family has the opportunity to become the side concubine of Duanwangfu, and Queen Su should be fulfilled.
"The mourners haven't said anything wrong, you don't need to be nervous." The Queen Mother said, "Duanwang, this child also grew up with the mourning family, and his father has also made meritorious contributions to the country. The second girl of the Lin family is probably also blessed, so why don't I become an adult? ”
When the old princess heard that the Queen Mother agreed, she immediately smiled on her face, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Courtier, thank the Queen Mother." ”
"Get up, we're a family, can the mourning family still brush your request?" The Queen Mother smiled quite enthusiastically at the old princess this time, and she waited to see the result.
When the old princess heard this, she was helped up by the palace attendants, and she couldn't help but be full of joy when she entered the palace this time, just thinking that when the second girl of the Lin family entered the door, as long as she could hold two of her in three years, it would be enough for her.
The Queen Mother glanced at her, smiled more and more satisfactorily, and immediately called for someone to wait for her pen and ink, this time she wanted to write this edict herself, how could such a happy thing be faked?
The old princess looked at her with enthusiasm and enthusiasm, as if she had the joy of a doll calling her great-grandmother.
There was no news about this matter, after all, no one would have thought that Lin Qi would one day become the name mentioned in the Empress Dowager's decree.
The arrival of this edict caught the people of the Lin family off guard.
What's more, Huo Yan and Huo Yuan, who came to propose marriage at this time, had not left yet, even Ye Xuyao frowned, and Lin Dong's calm little face was full of shock and inquiry.
The father-in-law who announced the decree smiled all over his face, "You haven't come up to answer the decree?" ”
Lin Lu, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't move, she couldn't help but look at Lin Qi behind the screen, she didn't want to take this edict, she didn't know who the prince was, but she knew in her heart that the person she liked was Huo Yuan, if this marriage could be loved, she would be able to love husband and wife in the future, how could she let someone kill and destroy it halfway?
Lin Dong also resisted, it was one thing to dislike the Huo family, and he was even less interested in what Duan Wang Ye was killed halfway through, and he hated the title of the side concubine even more, not to mention that he was not a concubine, he would rather be a wife of a poor family than a concubine of a high family, and the girl of his Lin family was not so self-contemptuous.
Lin Qi's hand behind the screen was tightly gripping the screen, biting her pale and colorless lower lip with such force that she could see how shocked and resisting her heart was, she suddenly wanted to rush out and beat out the eunuch sent by the Queen Mother, but the maid Xiyu behind her was holding her deadly.
"Let go of me!" She let out a low growl.
"Girl, don't be impulsive, it's the Queen Mother's people outside." Xiyu was so anxious that she was sweating and persuaded Lin Qi, afraid that if Lin Qi collided with the Queen Mother's people, she, the maid who was bought out by the Lin family for life, would also suffer, so she didn't dare to let go of the impulsive second girl.
Lin Qi wanted to push her away, but this time the big girl used up her strength to feed, and she couldn't struggle at all, so she could only look back at her, "You still don't let go, aren't you afraid that I will sell you?" ”
"Girl, even if you want to sell the slave maid, the slave maid cannot let go." Xiyu shook her head desperately, "Eggs can't touch stones, it's useless for you to be strong now, it's better to discuss with your aunt and grandmother and make a decision." ”
At the mention of the eldest sister Lin Long, Lin Qi's impulse was suddenly thrown to Java, she was just a small ordinary commoner, how could she compete with the queen mother? This can only be an act of seeking death.
Xiyu saw that she was not struggling, so she breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, this girl was impulsive and impulsive, and she still had brains.
Lin Qi said faintly: "Even if I can't marry General Huo, I'd rather die than be the concubine of the prince at that end." ”
What kind of side concubine's name can't attract her at all, if it was she who made a few connections every day in Suzhou City to earn a few pennies for living expenses, or would be willing to marry such a notorious person for life, but now that she has tasted love, how can she go to another sedan chair against her will?
There was a sound behind this screen, so that everyone in the hall couldn't help but glance in that direction, Huo Yuan, who had good ears, could naturally hear the oath of his sweetheart, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, so he clenched his fists and stood up.
The father-in-law who issued the decree saw that General Huo's face was not good, and his face couldn't help but froze, and he subconsciously wanted to take a step back, what is this General Huo going to do? He never expected that he was just here to issue a decree, and he would actually see Huo Yuan and Xiangyang Hou in the hall where the Lin family was a guest.
Huo Yan saw that his son was going to be impulsive, and he was also busy getting up and wanted to stop his son from doing stupid things and confront the Queen Mother, isn't this a joke? The Great Shun Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and the emperor will definitely support the Queen Mother, which is filial piety.
Ye Xuyao held down Huo Yan and didn't let him stop Huo Yuan.
Huo Yan turned around and glared at Ye Xuyao angrily, "Boy, don't let go yet?" "He thinks he is an elder, and he doesn't call any Hou Ye or anything like that, after all, he is also an elder who watched Ye Xuyao grow up." Do you want to send our lone seedling to death? ”
"Definitely." Ye Xuyao said with a cold expression, but he didn't explain the reason to him, after all, it was useless to say, the key was how to do it.
The Queen Mother is certainly worthy of fear, but when he enters and leaves the palace, he naturally knows the secrets that ordinary people don't know, such as the Queen Mother and the Emperor's mother and son are out of harmony, Huo Yuan is a person with military merits, and he asks for relatives in front, the Queen Mother is really unkind and righteous to insert this lever.
"Then you still don't let go of me......" Huo Yan was already gritting his teeth and looking at Ye Xuyao at this time, in his opinion, it is also a good thing for Lin Qi to marry into Duanwangfu, saving him from embarrassment, he is not right after sitting in the hall of the Lin family for so many moments today, he faces Lin Qi, who is both a stepdaughter and a daughter-in-law, but he is afraid that the food will not be fragrant, and he really deserves it.
Ye Xuyao simply kept silent, he was incompetent in communicating with this person, he had been here for so long, how could he not see that Huo Yan was uncomfortable in the Lin family's hall, so the queen mother's will to marry was only afraid of being in his mind.
Huo Yan saw that Ye Xuyao was silent, and he couldn't break it off, so he could only watch his son step forward to take over this decree from his father-in-law's hands, and suddenly his face was frustrated, and his hands hung down unwillingly.
"General Huo?" The father-in-law who issued the decree looked stunned, "This is the will for the daughter of the Lin family......"
"I have made a mandarin alliance with the second girl of the Lin family, why should I accept this will?" Huo Yuan sneered.
The father-in-law who issued the decree was suddenly speechless, isn't this a strong word? However, he was not good at fighting with this general, and it would not be good if he went crazy and injured himself, so he just twitched the corners of his mouth and did not dare to say threatening words.
Huo Yuan is not afraid that he will go back and tell the Queen Mother his words, he loves to meddle in other people's marriages so much, don't blame him for making a big deal about it, that's right, he fought this idea.
Duan Wangye's reputation is really bad, and he is a military general who has made military achievements, the saint will not be so mediocre as to favor the scum of the royal family, and Lin Long is the righteous daughter of Queen Su, so he can naturally invite the queen who gave birth to the little princess to come out in person, by the way, and the Qing prince who is inseparable from Duan Wangye can also be used to win over one or two, no matter what, he will not let Lin Qi marry such a scumbag.
After the father-in-law who was waiting to issue the decree didn't even get a plate of silver and left, Lin Lu stood up with Lin Dong's support, and looked at Huo Yuan with complicated eyes: "You ......" I didn't know what to say for a while, at this juncture, he gambled on Lin Qi's future, which had already made her so recognized that she could no longer find fault with the other party.
"You are stupid, this is the Queen Mother, how can you accept such an edict?" Huo Yan scolded his son violently, "Do you even care about your family for such a woman?" This is the Queen Mother. He repeated the sentence in a loud voice.
Huo Yuan glanced at his father, "I have made up my mind, even if you jump into the sky, it's useless, besides, I know what I'm doing?" ”
"General Huo?" Lin Qi didn't care about being shy, and quickly rushed out from behind the screen, looking at his sweetheart with teary eyes, at this moment, he was like a god in her mind.
The moment Huo Yuan saw Lin Qi, his eyes softened a lot, and he stepped forward and stroked the fine hair on the top of her head with his other hand that was not holding the holy decree, "Don't worry, the sky is falling and I am still resisting, you are not allowed to do stupid things, don't belittle your life for such a scumbag." ”
Lin Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that he should have heard his previous words, his face was blushing, and he still said with some worry: "I'm afraid that when it really comes to that moment, how can I still live?" ”
"Sister Qi, don't look for a short look, Erniang won't let you go up to the sedan chair of the palace." Lin Lu hurriedly stepped forward to hold Lin Qi's hand and said eagerly.
"Second sister, you have to think more about us, life is precious." Lin Dong was also frightened by Lin Qi's words, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
Lin Qi looked at his sweetheart and then at his family, and tears flowed down his eyes one after another, wetting his carefully dressed face.
Ye Xuyao still has a good impression of this little sister-in-law, "Okay, this can't solve anything, what are you going to do?" Finally, he looked at Huo Yuan.
When Huo Yuan heard this, he turned his head to look at Ye Xuyao, with anger and resentment in his eyes, "No," he raised the clenched Yi Zhi in his hand, "I still have to go in front of the emperor......"
"Are you crazy?" Huo Yan is resolutely opposed, for the sake of a woman, the family will be affected, and he really can't approve of his son's choice.
Huo Yuan was unmoved, "Dad, if you are really worried, go back to the house first, what to do now knows better than anyone else." ”
He took this advice after careful consideration, not on the spur of the moment.
"You rebel." Huo Yan was so angry that he scolded, and even glared at Lin Qi again, "Disaster in disguise." ”
"Daddy!" Huo Yuan squinted at his father unkindly, he didn't allow his father to comment on Lin Qi like this, and the whole thing or the disaster he brought to Lin Qi, this end of the prince insisted on marrying Lin Long as a side concubine, he must have discovered something, it was all his woman who did not protect himself.
Huo Yan glared at his son angrily, "What kind of bad luck did I pour to give birth to you, a debt collector, who has the same virtue as your sister, and is the master of the Huo family." ”
Immediately flicked his sleeves away angrily, he really didn't see his son's stupid behavior.
Huo Yuan didn't pay attention to him, but looked back at Lin Qi, "Don't mind his actions, he can't represent me." ”
"I know." Lin Qi smiled at him, at this moment, she wanted to fight side by side with him, instead of letting him charge in front and worry about her in the rear.
Huo Yuan also tried to squeeze out a smile, not only to comfort her but also to cheer himself up.
