Chapter 83: It's hard to open your mouth
The maid who was waiting in the hall had already been retired by Lin Lingping, and Caixia didn't dare to follow up, and there were only the two of them in the room at this time. Lin Ling picked up the previous cup of tea, only felt a trace of warmth, put it back again, stared at the pattern of flowers and birds on the teacup, paused and said, "Lord Wang...... I wonder when Ge will be able to come out of the palace? ”
"She is safe in the palace, and in a few days, this king will think of asking the queen to let her out, you don't have to worry." Long Yuze's voice was lukewarm, but a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on Lin Ling, who was drooping.
As soon as he left the Taihe Palace, he saw the ghosts who had entered the palace all the way, and he understood everything.
Split her up, but for her own good, she still tried her best to come back.
Lin Ling carefully studied the patterns of flowers and birds, and said quietly, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
"Why do you and I have to say thank you?" Long Yuze suddenly became annoyed, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Ling's arm, and raised her chin with the other hand, "Tell this king, why did you come back?" ”
"Then tell me, why do you want to hide from me and accept Li Sanmei as a side concubine?" Lin Ling bit her lip, threw out this sentence unhurriedly, and looked directly at Long Yuze with her eyes without fear, she didn't do anything wrong, there was no need to feel empty-hearted!
"Oh? Xiao Ling'er is this jealous? Long Yuze laughed again, let go of Lin Ling's chin, and reached out to stroke her cheek, "Are you afraid that this king won't love you if he marries another woman?" Xiao Ling'er don't worry about this, no matter how many women there are in this palace, you are the only one who is qualified to stand by the king's side. Remember? Well? ”
"Really?" Lin Ling stared at Long Yuze's suddenly blooming smile, a little overwhelmed.
Since he met Long Yuze again in Quanzhou, he always likes to say such things, and he can never tell the truth from the false.
Long Yuze nodded and held Lin Ling's hand: "This king originally arranged for you to go to Yilan Kingdom, and he will pick you up after this period of time." But you just said that you moved the ghost and asked him to take you back to Beijing, just go back to Beijing, there is still a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. Tell me why you have to run back home? Xiao Ling'er, don't be willful, before the news spreads, this king will send you away......"
"I'm not leaving!" Lin Ling shook off Long Yuze's hand and turned his back, his mind in a mess.
Didn't she think well on the way back just now? Why can't you ask now?
For those who disobey his orders, Long Yuze has never been soft, even if he has been with him for more than ten years, the task has not been completed, and he is still being punished at this time, immersed in the ice cave. As for Lin Ling, Long Yuze felt helpless. It is undeniable that when I saw Lin Ling's girl again after a few days, a wave of joy surged in my heart, but I tried my best to ignore it, but I still rose and fell in my heart. And this girl's awkward appearance turned out to be cute, Long Yuze sighed, walked in front of Lin Ling, and held her face.
"Xiao Ling'er, the court is in turmoil, and there are many queens and princes in the palace, it is very unsafe, I don't worry about you staying." Long Yuze stared at Lin Ling's eyes and said seriously, "As for marrying Li Sanmei, you know, she is your stand-in." When the queen puts all her eyes on her, then you are safe......"
"I'm safe, isn't Li Sanmei in danger?" Lin Ling angrily dodged Long Yuze's hand, "She's just a fishing village girl, why pull her into this whirlpool?" Long Yuze, it's not enough to pull me in, do you want to kill another innocent woman? ”
"Xiao Ling'er, don't make trouble!" Long Yuze frowned and looked at Lin Ling with displeasure.
It's already incredible that he can patiently explain the whole thing, what else does this girl want? Let him divorce Li Sanmei now? This is obviously impossible! If it weren't for the safety of this girl, would he have married a woman from a fishing village? This girl didn't appreciate it at all, and even yelled at him! It seems that he is too indulgent to her.
"Long Yuze, I ask you ......" Lin Ling closed his eyes, "What are you keeping me safe for?" ”
Is it because she is a goddess, or is it because she has some affection for her?
Protect her for what? Long Yuze frowned.
This girl is a goddess sent by God, and she can't have any problems, so he spent a lot of effort to protect her. But as soon as he raised his eyes and saw Lin Ling's eyes closed, the long black eyelashes trembling gently like butterfly wings, he suddenly felt that this girl's heart was also trembling at this time.
But if it was simply because this girl was a goddess, he would not hide that she married Li Sanmei, and the thought of sending Lin Ling to Yilan Country at that time could not be seen through at this time. Is it for her safety, or is she afraid that she will be dissatisfied when she sees him taking a concubine? Long Yuze's eyebrows were tangled, this question was really difficult for him to answer.
said that because she was a goddess, this girl may be disheartened from now on.
But to say that he has affection for her doesn't seem to be right.
"Don't talk about it, I already know the answer." Lin Ling opened her eyes, and it was obvious that Long Yuze's silence had become the default in her eyes. If she wasn't a goddess, she wouldn't have been able to marry into the palace, and she was forced to marry and couldn't choose, but she still lost her heart.
If Long Yuze hadn't married Li Sanmei, she might really have fought for it.
Women chasing men, interlayer yarn, even in ancient times, should be the truth.
But Long Yuze's approach was really unacceptable to her, because she married her because she was a goddess, and married Li Sanmei in order to confuse the queen's eyes! And what about after that? Will you continue to carry women to the palace for other reasons in the future? Lin Ling curled the corners of his mouth, didn't look at Long Yuze, picked up the tea that had already cooled, raised his head and drank it all.
Lin Ling's attitude was lukewarm, alienated, and indifferent.
Long Yuze also smiled lightly: "Since you want to go back to the palace so much, then the king will not send you away, and you will stay in the palace well." Remember your original promise to the king? Help this king win the world, and then this king will give you freedom, don't forget! ”
"Don't worry, I won't forget." Lin Ling smiled softly, looked at Long Yuze and turned around, then lifted his robe and strode out of the room.
The room was completely silent, and Lin Ling was the only one left.
She slumped in her chair.
She didn't even dare to listen to the answer, she was really cowardly!
Anyway, she is also a modern woman, and she is even ashamed to confess!
Lin Ling pulled his hair irritably, no matter what, let's talk about it after a while!
"Caixia, prepare hot water, this princess wants to bathe!" Lin Ling stood up and called Caixia in loudly, and these emotional matters were put aside first. When Chen Huiniang is solved, and when things are not so tangled and complicated, it is better to ask him this question seriously.
Thinking like this, Lin Ling's heart relaxed.
A woman's heart, a needle at the bottom of the sea. Lin Ling couldn't guess his mind at this time.
The news of the Qing princess's return to the capital soon spread all over the streets and alleys, and naturally she couldn't escape the eyes and ears of the queen. Previously, the queen had always believed that Lin Ling was the destined goddess, so she detained Ma Xiaoge in the palace, but then Lin Ling disappeared, and Long Yuze married another woman, so she set her eyes on the third sister of Li again. However, Lin Ling's girl is back, who is the goddess?
When I was looking for Xu Guoshi's divination, I didn't get anything and returned, it's really hard to say who this goddess is.
"Queen Mother, the national teacher said that the goddess is in this Qing Palace, and Lin Ling and Li Sanmei are both possible, so just arrest them all, wouldn't it be worry-free?" The prince squinted his eyes and said fiercely.
The queen glanced at the prince lightly: "You forgot the lesson of the last time so quickly?" ”
"It's because I remember what happened last time, so Erchen must give Long Yuze this kid a little bit of power this time!" The prince clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. The last time he ambushed Long Yuze in the capital, he was grounded and lost the trust of his father. Fortunately, the queen mother pleaded many times, and he lifted the ban ahead of schedule.
"Emperor, you're too anxious!" The queen shook her head and said, "Long Yuze can plan the ambush so carefully in a short period of time, there must be many people in the court who are his, if you act rashly and get caught, the emperor will be disappointed in you." Although both of those women may be goddesses, there can only be one goddess, and they both say that the goddess wins the world, the emperor, tell me, what does this 'de' mean? ”
This time, the prince pondered for a while before he said: "The so-called 'gain' should not only get the body, but also the heart. Queen Mother, is what Erchen said right? Even if Long Yuze found the goddess, if the goddess's heart was not in him, it would be in vain......"
"If that's the case, then we still have a chance." The queen said, "I'm afraid that the meaning of 'de' is only a superficial meaning, now Lin Ling and Li Sanmei are already women in the Qing Palace, if it is really the goddess who wins the world, then Long Yuze is afraid that he has already obtained it." ”
"No, Queen Mother, don't be so pessimistic!" The prince's voice was raised, and he was a little disheartened during the days he had been confined to the East Palace. He didn't have any outstanding talents in his own right, and all he relied on was the glory and means of his mother. Sometimes when he thinks that he will have to wait for the dragon chair one day, he feels that he will not be able to stabilize such a big situation, but if he can't ascend the throne, he will inevitably become Long Yuze's sword.
The queen smiled and reached out to stroke the prince's sideburns: "Even if it is for you, the queen mother will not give up." Emperor, you have to fight for yourself, the matter of the goddess is mysterious, and it is not a reliable thing. What you have to do is to work hard and learn more from your father the principles of governing the country, so that your father can rest assured that he will pass on the throne to you. ”
"The son knows it, the queen mother can rest assured, the son will never let his father disappoint the son and the emperor." The prince nodded calmly.
The queen nodded with satisfaction, let the prince retreat, and tilted her head slightly to the palace maid behind her: "Find a time to summon Princess Qing into the palace, she has been missing for a long time, and the palace is anxious, tell her that Ma Xiaoge also talks about her all day long." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid arranged for someone to summon the Qing princess into the palace tomorrow." The palace maid lowered her head and said, and suddenly said as if she remembered something, "Queen Mother, the slave maid passed by Yingtai Tower this morning and met the little apprentice of Xu Guoshi, he blocked the slave maid's way, saying that there was something new about the national teacher...... He chattered a lot of things, the slave didn't understand, and when he wanted to ask again, he entered the Yingtai Tower, and the slave couldn't ask either, and asked the queen to forgive him. ”
The queen's spirit was shocked, and she immediately stood up: "Swing the Yingtai Tower!" ”
Qingyuan stood on the third floor of Yingtai Tower, looking at the only path leading to Yingtai Tower from the window, only the hurried figures of palace maids and eunuchs coming and going. He couldn't help but turn his head anxiously: "Master, is it that what I said is too difficult to understand, and the palace maid didn't understand, so she didn't dare to tell the queen?" ”
Xu Guoshi leaned lazily on the chair, closed his eyes and said: "It's good if you don't understand, if you make it clear, will the queen still come here?" ”
Qingyuan nodded as if he didn't understand, and when he looked at the window again, he happily lowered his voice: "Master, the queen is really here!" ”
"National teacher, this palace asks to meet!" The queen still stood under the big tree, looked up and said loudly.
Qingyuan hurriedly put down the things in his hand, straightened his clothes and was about to go down to open the door, Xu Guoshi stretched out a foot to block Qingyuan's way: "What's the hurry?" Sit, watch the fire, and go down in a quarter of an hour! ”
"Okay." Qing Yuan was dissatisfied with the fan and fanned the already strong fire in the stove, every time it was like this, when someone asked to see, the master always liked to drag on a moment and a half to meet the people who came to see. Even if the emperor summons him, the master will procrastinate, but fortunately no one knows, otherwise it will be a big crime to cut off his head.
A quarter of an hour's work is neither long nor short, Qingyuan pinched the time to meet the queen on the first floor on time.
"I heard that the national teacher has made a new discovery?" As soon as she came up, the queen didn't play dumb riddles, and asked bluntly.
Xu Guoshi stood by the window at this time, holding a medicine stove in his hand, with a deep appearance, hearing the queen's post, he paused for a while, and then said slowly: "Last night, Weichen watched the stars at night, and saw the Hongluan star drifting, and the stars changed greatly, but there were really some new discoveries. ”
"How about I tell this palace?" The queen smiled and looked attentive, but she was very anxious, but she knew that Xu Guoshi was tepid, and he didn't want to say that he would send you away with a sentence of "heaven must not be leaked", and the things he wanted to say were always said slowly, and he had to be very patient to really hear what he wanted to know from Xu Guoshi.
Xu Guoshi turned around and did not raise his eyebrows: "The black clouds around the Red Luan Star are shrouded, and they are about to obscure the brilliance of the Red Luan Star and confuse everyone's eyes. Even Weichen is a little unable to identify the specific location of Hongluan Star, and I am afraid that he will not be able to answer the question that the queen mother left to Weichen a few days ago. ”
"Red Luanxing refers to the goddess?" The queen asked with a frown.
Xu Guoshi nodded: "A few days ago, the Red Luan Star became brighter and brighter, even overshadowing the Big Dipper, but last night it suddenly darkened, I'm afraid something has happened." Queen Mother, if you just look at the stars, Weichen can no longer do anything. ”
"What does the national teacher mean......" The queen took the words, pondered for a moment, and said, "If the palace brings a woman who looks like a goddess to the national teacher, will the national teacher be able to calculate the result?" ”
Xu Guoshi raised his head suddenly, looked directly at the queen for a moment and immediately looked away from him, and was silent for a long time before he said: "Wei Chen is not talented, in addition to the study of astrology, he also knows a little about the opposite face, if he can really bring the woman who is suspected of being a goddess to Wei Chen, Wei Chen should be able to determine whether she is a goddess of destiny." ”
"That's good!" The queen curled the corners of her lips, "Within three days, the palace will bring people to Yingtai Tower, and ask the national teacher to bother with divination." ”
"The queen is serious, and dedication to the Daewoo Dynasty is what Weichen should do." Xu Guoshi bowed his head and took a step back.
The queen nodded with a smile, and under the leadership of Qingyuan, she turned around and walked out of Yingtai Tower.
"Master, what are you going to do?" Qing Yuan looked at Xu Guoshi's lazy smile in confusion.
Xu Guoshi stretched out an index finger and shook it from side to side: "The so-called heavenly machine cannot be leaked, you kid give me a good look at the boiler!" ”
"Master, I've been with you for so many years, can't you tell me a little bit what you want to do?" Qingyuan said with a sad face, "If the disciples knew, what else could they do." Master, just tell me. ”
Xu Guoshi casually picked up the whisk on the table and knocked it over: "Okay, what do you want to know?" ”
"Master, are you willing to tell me?" Qingyuan jumped three feet high, "I want to know why the master is so interested in the goddess!" ”
"Don't you see that the queen is interested in the goddess, not the teacher?" Xu Guoshi squinted and said.
Qingyuan shook his head: "Master, although you didn't tell me anything, I was involved in the beginning of this game. It was the master who asked me to deliberately leak the news in front of the queen's personal palace maid, which attracted the queen's mother to find out. After all, the master's purpose is to meet the goddess, and the apprentice is right? ”
"It seems that you have to take a little bit of action for the teacher, you know too much!" Xu Guoshi suddenly said suspiciously, "Only dead people don't reveal secrets, do you say that you should be ...... as a teacher?"
"Ah...... Master, I was wrong! Qingyuan hurriedly ran to the staircase, "I swear I will never guess what the master did again!" ”
"It's pretty much the same, go and see the boiler, and you'll have a good day in the future!" Xu Guoshi cocked Erlang's legs and made tea.
If it was as the divination said, he was really looking forward to seeing the destined "goddess".
He had studied the art of constellation for many years, and finally saw the movement of the red luan star, and he knew that there would be today more than ten years ago, and he had been waiting for it for a long time. In order to be able to better divinate the stars, he even tried his best to enter the palace and became a national teacher above 10,000 people under one person, and even the queen of the dynasty had to treat him with three points of courtesy.
The time had finally come, and in three days he would be able to see the woman he had been waiting for for more than ten years.
As long as I see her, is there hope for everything?
No matter what ups and downs he has, no matter what harem intrigues he has, no matter what disputes he has for succession, they have nothing to do with him. He just stood quietly in the Yingtai Tower closest to the stars and waited for the change of Hongluan Star, more than ten years, the "goddess" is finally coming, so he, should there be a result?
