"Lin Er, you don't use the Queen Mother as a shield, in this Kyoto, who doesn't know the details of your Lin Er?" , Princess Changyuan began to talk more and more outrageous, "I want to be at the beginning-"

"Changyuan, who allowed you to come!"

Before Princess Changyuan could finish her words, she was coldly greeted↗ by a majestic voice. I'm just going to take a look here with the Six Emperor Brothers today......"

Princess Changyuan opened her mouth to explain.

But it is clear that the explanation she is looking for is not only far-fetched, but also perfunctory.

And Empress Dowager Xiao has always hated others perfunctory to her the most, so after Princess Changyuan explained, the expression on Empress Dowager Xiao's face not only did not ease, but became more severe.

"Really?" , She glanced at Princess Changyuan and said lightly, "Then now that I've seen it, you can go back." ”

"But the Queen Mother ......"

Changyuan was not convinced.

In front of so many people, if she goes back like this now, wouldn't she be embarrassed and thrown home?

She's just been released from confinement? Can't you let her live in peace for a few days?

However, before Princess Changyuan's words were completely finished, the eldest princess Peixi on the side couldn't look at it and interjected, "Okay Changyuan, you don't want to find a daughter-in-law like a few imperial brothers, what are you doing here?" It's better to go back early and read more books. ”

Although this is a joke, those who have a mind have all listened to it. So all of a sudden, there were a lot of people around who blushed.

"Let's go!?"

Seeing that Changyuan was still standing, Empress Dowager Xiao frowned.

"Queen Mother, I don't want to go back now!"

Princess Changwon finally mustered up her courage.

She didn't want to go back now, she was going to stay here anyway. Otherwise, today's incident will definitely become a huge joke in the palace. And the most important thing is that Lin Er is also present, she has always been the only one who bullied Lin Er, how can she let Lin Er look at her and lose face today? Absolutely not!

Seeing her like this, Lin Jue had already determined that the brain of this princess of Changyuan was out of order. Otherwise, if she was a normal person, with Empress Dowager Xiao's expression and tone being so harsh, how could she not be able to appreciate the severity of the situation?

If it was Lin Jue herself, Empress Dowager Xiao would have spoken, and she would have left obediently eight hundred years earlier. Just because of this little thing, I ran into the Empress Dowager Xiao, don't you want to live in the palace?

"Don't want to go back? So you're going to stay here? ”

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Princess Changyuan with a smile.

At this point, the development trend has gone in a very strange and strange direction, and everyone has different thoughts, but all of them have a somewhat dazed expression on their faces.

Is this princess of Changyuan really blind, or is she stupid? Empress Dowager Xiao has already said this, she still has to fight with the Queen Mother to the end? Don't you want to have a bright future?

"Imperial grandmother, I just want to know, why is this Second Miss Lin also in this Chuxiu Palace?"

After hearing her words, Lin Jue desperately pinched her thighs with her hands so that she didn't laugh.

It's not that she thinks too much, the princess Changyuan in front of her is really sick.

"Why?"

Empress Dowager Xiao seemed to be a little crying and laughing when she asked her like this.

"You go back to Liuli Palace for a while, and then the mourning family will come to sue you."

"Imperial Grandmother, I'm not wrong, why do you want to lock me up again? I'm not wrong! ——”

As soon as Princess Changyuan heard the words "Liuli Palace", she exploded instantly.

After months of confinement, these three words were a kind of storage that was even more terrible than a nightmare for her.

She had vowed never to return to that place.

"Come on, escort the princess back to the Liuli Palace." , Empress Dowager Xiao sighed a little helplessly. A granddaughter like this is not only open-mouthed, but she has no eyesight to see, so it is better to let her go out less in the future, so as not to lose the royal face.

"I'm not going back! ——”

Chang Won's eyes were red and he began to scream.

"After Princess Changyuan returns to Liuli Palace, don't go out again without my will. Also, go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to announce that a Imperial Doctor is coming, and show the princess a good ......"

"I'm not sick, I'm not going back! - Lin Er, this must be your ghost again, right? What kind of drug did you give the Queen Mother to make her listen to you like this?! Grandmother, are you old and confused? The one who should really be expelled is Lin Er——"

"Presumptuous!"

The eldest princess Peixi has always been straightforward and fast-talking, and when she saw Princess Changyuan saying that Empress Dowager Xiao was confused, she directly stretched out her hand and slapped her left and right cheeks twice.

At this moment, Princess Changyuan was beaten, and she forgot to shout for a while.

"The queen mother, the son-in-law believes that the confinement alone can no longer make Princess Changyuan repent. There is no royal law for such a disobedient offense, because it will be dragged down and hit dozens of boards to set an example. Otherwise, if your royal grandchildren treat you with such an attitude, then this palace will be chaotic. ”

"Let's escort her back to Liuli Palace first."

Empress Dowager Xiao finally spared Princess Changyuan.

But Lin Jue didn't think that the other party would be grateful to Dade because of this, and then learn a lesson. It is estimated that if the confinement is lifted next time, Princess Changyuan will still be as virtuous as she is today.

She wouldn't change at all, and she wouldn't realize what she was doing wrong. A person like this will only habitually blame all her misses on others, and then begin to curse God for being unfair to her day and night.

In fact, the culprit who caused her to end up like this was herself.

However, what Lin Jue didn't expect was that after Princess Changyuan entered the Liuli Palace this time, she was never released from confinement again, and it was not until seven or eight years later that she was seriously ill and died, and she was carried out of the Liuli Palace after her death.

Of course, that's a story for later.

On this day, in addition to Princess Changyuan's affair that opened Lin Jue's eyes, there was another thing that also surprised her.

That is, the five princes really came to pick up those show girls. And it was also with the consent of the Empress Dowager Xiao.

There were five people in one breath, not only everyone was in an uproar, but even the Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't stand it.

She looked at the fifth prince and half-jokingly admonished, "Old Five, you're too big, right?" After picking up so many newcomers back, don't be sorry for Princess Yan. ”

"Look at what the imperial grandmother said, how could I? I came back this time, and I also got Yan'er's consent. ”

The fifth prince was a little embarrassed haha. But I felt extremely bitter in my heart.

He came this time, not only with Situ Yan's consent, but also with her whole idea? But come to think of it, these people are really self-inflicted, what are they doing to bully Lin Jue? also bullied Lin Jue in front of Situ Yan, his daughter-in-law, everything is good, but he can't see Lin Jue being bullied, is this good? Some of these people and women will suffer in the days to come.

"Oh? Agreed? Then take it away. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao said with a smile.

In fact, this is a violation of the rules of the draft in the palace, but this time there are a large number of show girls, and the five princes have been married for so long, Situ Yan's stomach is still flat, although the Empress Dowager Xiao didn't say it, she was also a little anxious in her heart, so when the five princes asked her for someone, she agreed.

With so many young women, there must always be one who can conceive, right?

Watching the five princes send the five show girls who bullied her to the soft sedan chair with a spring breeze on their faces, Lin Jue suddenly felt weak. She thought that Situ Yan was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that this matter turned out to be true. It's really hard to say what will happen to these people after they go to the Five Princes' Mansion.

Thinking of this, Lin Jue suddenly felt that she was very useless, and every time she had to be dealt with by others, just like this time, the five princes would make such a "merry" move, mostly because of Situ Yan's instructions, and the reason why Situ Yan asked him to do this was because he wanted to be angry for her.

Thinking about it this way, the person who shouldn't appear the most seems to be her Lin Jue.

"Sister Lin, will you marry the Fourth Prince in the future?"

After everyone left, Hua Wu stepped forward and asked.

If she was just curious about Lin Jue at the beginning, now she is completely left with envy and jealousy. Although it is still unclear about Lin Jue's family background, judging from what has happened in the past few days, she is by no means an idle person, and it is estimated that eight or nine times out of ten she is the daughter of a minister in the court. Even Empress Dowager Xiao is on her side, reincarnation is really a technical job.

"Why do you suddenly ask that?"

Lin Jue turned his head and looked at Hua Wu lightly.

"Because among the current three princes, only the four princes have no marriage match. I think that with my sister's ability, it is impossible to be wronged to be a side concubine......"

The five princes have been married, and the six princes have also designated Li Aoshan, the daughter of Prime Minister Li Cheng of the dynasty, as the concubine, two of the three have gone, and the remaining one is only the fourth prince.

And judging from the observations of the past few days, the attitude of the fourth prince towards Lin Jue seems to be very unusual.

Thinking of this, Hua Wu suddenly felt a little sad.

She originally thought that with her appearance, she could at least be a side concubine, but now it seems that the competition is so fierce, it is a question whether she can be selected to stay.

"You want more!"

Lin Jue smiled and shook his head.

Today's mood is not bad, and seeing Hua Wu is not as annoying as before, so she decided to explain this matter, so as not to worry about this group of little ladies all day long.

"There's no way I'm going to marry the Fourth Prince. You can rest assured of this. ”

Lin Jue casually poured himself a glass of water and said.

Although Hua Wu was the only one in the house, she knew that Hua Wu was entrusted by other people, and when she came to ask her as a representative, there must have been a large number of people gathered outside the door to eavesdrop.

"Moreover, I'm not a show girl, the Queen Mother asked me to come here, just because I was worried that I would be bored and let me find something to do, and learn more things with everyone."

"But my sister seems to be very popular with several princes......"

Hua Wu said weakly.

Maybe it has something to do with living in a southern merchant family since she was a child, she has thoughts, but she can't speak. Such a contradictory person, but unexpectedly made her whole person look a little cute, at least in Lin Jue's opinion, she is much better than those who stand in secret and make things bad.

"Where do you see I'm popular?"

Hearing her say this, Lin Jue couldn't help but feel funny.

The fifth prince and the sixth prince will talk to her, because they have known each other before, as for the four princes...... A person with a bad stomach has ulterior motives at first glance, although so far, Lin Jue doesn't know what the other party's purpose is.

"Sister, you are still young, in fact, many things, even if you see them with your own eyes, may not be true." Seeing that Hua Wu didn't speak, Lin Jue continued, "In short, I'm not a show girl, and I won't participate in the draft, let alone marry any of these princes." ”

Hua Wu listened, and her originally somewhat dim eyes instantly lit up.

Then, she looked out of the door, lowered her voice and asked in a low voice, "Then sister, which of the three princes does she think has a better prospect?" ”

She didn't want the hungry wolves outside to hear about it.

Lin Jue couldn't help laughing, "My sister seems to have her own plans......"

When she smiled like this, Hua Wu instantly became embarrassed, and said a little shyly, "It's not a plan, it's just that since you have chosen this path, you have to go on." And since you want to go on, you naturally have to choose a slightly better one. ”

"But this prospect, I really can't say."

Lin Jue was a little embarrassed.

"From the current point of view, it seems that the four princes are the most favored, but who can say anything about the royal affairs, maybe one day, it will become a different look."

There is another point she didn't say, in fact, these three oolong princes are all superficial phenomena, and the most important thing is to see the emperor's mood, but the emperor's mind is unpredictable, even the people next to his pillow can't guess it, let alone outsiders like them. So marrying the prince, to put it bluntly, is like betting on a treasure, buying and leaving, as for whether you can make money in the end, it can only depend on luck.

"So ......"

Hua Wu was a little unwilling.

"So just go with the flow. Follow your own heart, and marry whoever you like more. ”

Lin Jue said with a smile.

is like Situ Yan, the first beauty in the country of Daye, when she was in the limelight, she married the fifth prince who was facing prison, and the whole world was not optimistic about this marriage, but she was unmoved. And now, as long as the attitude of the five princes towards her is enough to prove how correct her choice was.

Sometimes it's not the best that is best for you, it's the best for you.

"My sister said it's too simple......", Hua Wu's face was flushed, and she looked a little childish and shy, "Even if I like a prince, I don't necessarily have to marry him." You have to go through guò layers of screening. ”

"So who do you have your eye on?"

"Uh......"

Hua Wu didn't expect Lin Jue to be so sharp-hitting, and suddenly became embarrassed.

"I can't help you, but I can tell them something about their preferences for your reference." , Lin Jue said.

However, if it was the fourth prince, she would have no choice. That person, in addition to having a dark mind, she really didn't know what special preferences he had. My special preference is probably killing, right?

Hua Wu did not answer directly. Instead, he stretched out his finger and compared it to six.

Lin Jue sighed in his heart.

The Six Princes?

It seems that it is really easier for someone like him to attract the attention of young women. Think back then, the original Lin Er girl was also attracted by his superficial temperament, right? It's a pity that Ling Mo is a person who is strict and inconsistent.

The long bluestone slab road seems to have no end in sight.

After coming out of Empress Dowager Xiao's Ci'an Palace, Ling Mo walked alone in the corridor. His mood was a little strange, mainly due to the way Lin Jue looked at him just now. I don't know if it's his own delusion, he always feels that Lin Jue's eyes looking at him today are different from usual, and he brings more ...... Resentment?

But he asked himself that he hadn't done anything to be sorry for her during this time, and somehow, how could she resent herself?

When he was depressed, a dark black canopy carriage drove in front of him.

Ling Mo subconsciously leaned to the side, but the carriage stopped beside him.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, revealing a bright smiling face.

"Second Miss Lin?"

Ling Mo was stunned.

According to the rules in the palace, people in Chuxiu Palace are not allowed to walk out of Chuxiu Palace casually, regardless of whether they are show girls or not, there are no exceptions.

And now Lin Jue is so upright and bright and ready to leave the palace in a canopy carriage, if there is no legitimate reason, this is too arrogant, right?

is so arrogant, it doesn't look like Lin Jue's style. At least not like Lin Jue's style in the past few years.

So the person in front of me is-

"Princess Vika?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw the other party laughing, and while laughing, he jumped off the carriage lightly, looked at Ling Mo and said, "The Sixth Highness finally recognized me, I thought that in the heart of the Sixth Highness, there was only Miss Lin Er." ”

"The princess thinks too much." , Ling Mo subconsciously took a few steps back, keeping a certain distance from her, "It's just that the princess left the palace some time ago, and I thought that the princess had returned to her hometown." ”

"His Royal Highness the Sixth is really able to speak. is worthy of the person that Miss Lin Er once liked. ”

Vika smiled, but deliberately accented the word "liked".

It's just that he was liked, it's a past tense, and now, Lin Jue doesn't like him anymore.

"There are still some things in the next place, if the princess has nothing else to do, she will take her leave first." , Ling Mo was about to leave.

"I know you want to recover Lin Jue-"

Vika shouted as she looked at Ling Mo's back.

After shouting, it was not surprising to see his back stiffen. Ling Mo stopped, but didn't look back.

"I know you've been regretting it lately. Especially the longer I spend with her, the deeper I get to know her, the deeper the regret in my heart. You're regretting why you rejected her in the first place......"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Ling Mo was a little annoyed.

Maybe it's because the deepest thoughts in my heart are recognized, or maybe it's because the other party has a face exactly the same as Lin Jue.

"As a foreign princess, don't you think you're too lenient?"

"Your Highness, don't be angry, I just want to help you by saying so much." Vika smiled harmlessly. Obviously, he was exactly the same as Lin Jue, but he showed a completely different temperament, and such a contrast made Ling Mo feel a sense of fear in his heart.

Why had he never noticed the problem before?

"Princess Law bothered. I don't need the princess's help for the time being. ”

Ling Mo directly refused.

"It's fine." , Vika is still smiling very sweetly, but this smile makes people feel panicked.

"For the rest of the year, I will stay in the other garden in the east of the city, and if Your Highness has any questions that need me to answer in the future, you can come to me. We're here to help. ”

"He probably likes gentle, empathetic women......"

Facing Hua Wu's eyes full of curiosity, Lin Jue suddenly couldn't remember what the preferences of the six princes were. However, judging from the fact that he rejected the original Miss Lin Er, he probably likes a woman with a personality like Situ Yan, right?

"Sister is saying that he likes the five princesses?"

Flower Dance immediately understood.

Lin Jue smiled, it seems that Situ Yan is indeed impressive, and she only showed up briefly that day, which made these people remember her.

In fact, having said that, the object of the six princes' love back then must have been her, but why she gave up the hot six princes and chose the five princes has always been something that Lin Jue couldn't figure out.

"Almost, think back then, the five imperial concubines were the first beauties of the Great Cause Country, fairy-like figures, and the noble sons in Kyoto who pursued her couldn't finish the queue from the imperial city to the Xizhi Gate."

After Lin Jue finished speaking, she suddenly felt a little wrong.

Her tone sounded like an elderly lady was reminiscing about her youth and her youth.

"But she married the fifth prince."

Hua Wu's eyes dimmed again.

For this fifth imperial concubine, because of her fame, even people in the south will know a thing or two. But I've heard that her background is average, just a daughter of Tai Buling. With a bad background, what's the use of good character and appearance, in the end, she can't only marry the idle and unscrupulous Fifth Prince, and even so, she can be regarded as her Situ Yan's high climbing, right?

Thinking of himself, although the Hua family has a place among the merchants in the south, they are only businessmen, and in the court, there is no one who can speak. To put it bluntly, they have nothing but money.

And according to what she usually knows, there are a lot of people with strong family backgrounds and ambitions in this draft, and it is even more difficult to break out of these people than to climb to the sky.

"But she's happy."

Lin Jue said with a smile.

"I know that she is really happy? Still, it's just helpless ......", Hua Wu's gaze became darker and darker.

"Don't be so pessimistic."

Seeing her dejected appearance, Lin Jue couldn't help but comfort her, "Sometimes what suits you and can make you happy is the best." To put it mildly, even if you are allowed to sit in that seat, but the emperor never cares about you, such a day, are you willing? ”

"I do!"

Hua Wu didn't want to blurt it out.

As long as she can sit in that seat, even if she is alone from now on, she doesn't care.

Lin Jue, "...... All right. ”

It seems that she really doesn't understand the thoughts of young people nowadays.

Ling Mo slept very unsteadily that night.

Tossing and turning, he seemed to dream of many things that had never happened, or even had no memory at all. These things are more like a story than a personal experience.

But if you want to tell a story, it keeps overflowing with pain, spreading from the deepest part of my heart little by little, knowing that it covers the whole body, so that he can't escape.

"His Majesty has just ascended the throne, his position is unstable, and he needs the help of a powerful family very much. And those families will not lend a hand for no reason, they also need guarantees, they need to reciprocate, and the most immediate return is to marry the daughter of a certain family. ”

"Do you have a good building?"

"The daughter of the Great General of Zhenguo Mansion is not bad."

"But I already have a lover......"

"Whether the lover is important, or the country is important, Your Majesty has to think about it. Besides, it's just a matter of being sealed, and it doesn't affect His Majesty to continue to pamper Concubine Li......"

The palace is full of lights, and it is very lively.

After the post-sealing ceremony, the daughter of the general of Zhenguo became the wife of the young emperor.

Legend has it that this general's daughter is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, but also has a certain study of astronomy and geography, I Ching gossip, and power strategy. Although she is a woman, she has a good name, which is not inferior to those men who sell their fame and reputation in the current dynasty.

But these, for him, are not important.

The reason why he wants to marry her is just to stabilize his own country. As for what to do with this woman when she marries back, he doesn't care. Don't you like to be a queen? Then let her enjoy the taste of this cold harem.

So on the night of marriage, he stayed in Concubine Li's bedroom.

In doing so, he thought that the other party would cry and make a fuss, cry to General Zhenguo, and force him with a force that could suppress him, but to his surprise, there was nothing.

The other party did nothing.

is still living her own life very calmly, as if he, the emperor, does not exist.

Maybe it's because his move is not obvious enough and hasn't touched this woman's bottom line.

He thought so.

So the behavior is becoming more and more out of line.

Deliberately fell in love with other women in front of her, deliberately humiliated her in front of other women, deliberately treated her as a stranger, and never set foot in the dormitory where she lived......

Even so, she was still calm.

In the end, he married her half-sister on the grounds that she had nothing to do, and planned to canonize her as his queen. (To be continued.) )
