Chapter 20 020 Enter the palace and face the saint
This is not the first time Lin Ling has entered the palace, but three years ago, he only went to the Academy of Rites, but this time he went to the core of the entire palace in a soft sedan chair. Next to her was Long Yuze, who looked lazy, half-squinting and enjoying the warm winter sun. Seeing him like this, Lin Ling also relaxed and looked at the scenery all the way.
This palace is even more splendid and magnificent than the Forbidden City she saw in Beijing, and from time to time there are palace maids and eunuchs who come and go, and they curtsy when they see them. Walking on the long corridor, looking at the four corners of the sky overhead, Lin Ling's heart suddenly became deep, this state of mind was completely different from walking in the Forbidden City.
She wasn't watching, she was actually in such a world.
There are things that can never be escaped, like ...... Lin Ling glanced at Long Yuze beside him, he forced her to marry him as a concubine, maybe it was also an encounter arranged by God...... It's just that she Lin Ling doesn't like coercion, she likes freedom, she likes an unrestrained life, if she traveled to ancient times to fall into the whirlpool of fighting for the throne, then she would have to escape far away no matter what.
Sensing the not easy atmosphere on Lin Ling's body, Long Yuze raised his eyebrows and said, "Nervous? ”
Lin Ling came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the palace maid who was in a hurry, and said casually: "Isn't it just to meet the emperor and queen?" Even if something goes wrong with me, it will be your second prince who has to bear it, what do I care? ”
"It seems that you have accepted the identity of the second princess, very good, very good, and you don't need to bother with this king." Long Yuze smiled faintly, and the angry Lin Ling secretly hurt herself, as if she could choose not to accept it.
Soon arrived at Kunning Palace, Lin Ling followed closely behind Long Yuze, and was led into the palace by the eunuch.
Fortunately, Long Yuze is the prince, and there is no red tape, and he even knelt down to ask for peace, and the emperor directly gave him a seat. Long Yuze was not polite at all, and pulled Lin Ling to sit down. Lin Ling sat like pins and needles, she was a people's daughter, and she should have knelt down to make a big salute, but Long Yuze's hands pinched her like pliers, which seemed to mean that she was reluctant to kneel.
"You're Yu'er's sweetheart?" The emperor's voice was extremely majestic, and there was no lack of imperial momentum among the old men, Lin Ling nodded, and was about to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to remain silent. How did Long Yuze tell the emperor and queen about her, she didn't know at all, it was wrong to say more, it was better to shut up.
"Father, she has never seen the world, and she is inevitably nervous when she sees Long Yan." Long Yuze said on the side, "The child is the only one in her heart, and I hope that my father can fulfill it." ”
Long Yuze's voice was full of warmth, if it weren't for those things, maybe Lin Ling would feel that this man really loved her.
"Yu'er, you are the second prince of the dynasty, the woman standing next to you must have enough family background, and she is a commoner, what can she bring you?" As soon as the demure queen spoke, she put Lin Ling on death row, Lin Ling was a little excited, I really hoped that this queen could completely reject Long Yuze's absurd request.
Long Yuze was unmoved: "Queen Mother, who is qualified to stand by the child's side is determined by the child!" ”
Although he didn't look at Long Yuze's face, Lin Ling could hear the resentment in that voice. It seems that the rumors of discord between the queen mother and Long Yuze are true, and even Long Yuze has to intervene in the jurisdiction when he marries a commoner, what is the queen mother thinking?
"If Yu'er wants to marry, let him marry, does my son still have to rely on a woman's family background to protect himself?" The emperor said unhappily, looked at Lin Ling and said thoughtfully, "But this woman's identity is really too meager, if not, I will arrange for Lord Lin to be your father, and you will live in Lord Lin's mansion in a few days, and then marry again, how about it?" ”
"No way!" Long Yuze coldly refused, "Father, the child finally found someone he likes, do you want to be ruthlessly separated for three months?" The mansion given to the child by the father is big enough, let Xiaoling live in the palace, there are so many grandmothers following, the child will not overstep. ”
Seeing that the father and son had discussed this step, the queen's face became more and more ugly, and she looked at the emperor and said, "Has the emperor forgotten?" Chen Guogong begged to see the emperor for marriage last night, didn't the emperor agree? Why don't you say a word today? ”
"What marriage?" Long Yuze stood up abruptly and looked at the queen dissatisfied, but the queen smiled quietly and said with warmth on her face: "Chen Guogong's eldest daughter, Chen Huiniang, is a famous talented woman in the capital. Yu'er still remembers the chrysanthemum banquet in the palace three years ago? Hui Niang said that you don't want to marry, last night Chen Guogong begged the emperor for marriage, and the emperor has prepared a holy decree to marry Yu'er and Hui Niang......"
Long Yuze's beautiful face was covered with dark clouds, looking at such a face that looked like the first queen, the queen's heart was like a knife, but she still smiled on her face: "This palace doesn't want to beat mandarin ducks, Xiao Ling still marries into the princess, how about being your side concubine?" ”
"No way!"
It was not Long Yuze who said this, it was Lin Ling.
As soon as her words fell, the three eyes stabbed at her, Lin Ling shrank back, but still bit her lip and said: "The people's daughter and the second prince are in love, if it is a concubine, then I would rather never marry for life!" ”
joke, if she becomes a concubine and is pressed by another woman everywhere, her life will only be more miserable!
Long Yuze's originally angry face was dyed with a smile, and he said lightly: "Father can hear it, Xiao Ling is unwilling, as long as Xiao Ling is unwilling, the child will not force her." If you have to let Xiaoling be a side concubine, then the child would rather never marry! ”
This singing and harmony made Lin Ling have a strange feeling, raised his eyes and looked at the man beside him, and his heart suddenly moved.
The emperor looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, frowned, and thought for a moment: "After three months, the Qing Palace's palace will marry two daughters at the same time, the daughter of Chen Guogong is the side concubine, and the daughter of Lord Lin is the main concubine. Don't say any more, that's it! ”
It took Lin Ling to react for a long time before he realized that Lord Lin's daughter was referring to herself, which meant that she had a father inexplicably.
The queen said with a smile: "Chen Guogong is a pillar of the dynasty, and his daughter is virtuous and virtuous, but she is a side concubine, so she has to be comforted......."
The emperor waved his hand and said: "Chen Huiniang has passed twenty-eight years earlier, and she was going to marry Yu'er three years ago, but Yu'er didn't get oil and salt at that time, so she kept dragging it out." Chen Guogong is also in a hurry, even if it is a side concubine, there must be no objections. You go about arranging, don't be wronged Yu'er. ”
"Yes, the emperor can rest assured." The queen hung her head and blessed herself, her eyes were fixed on Long Yuze, and she couldn't wait to stare out of the two big holes. Chen Guogong is her family, Chen Huiniang is her niece, she wanted to install Huiniang next to Long Yuze three years ago, but she failed repeatedly. Now that they finally have a chance, they still condescend to the side concubines, which is a shame for their Chen family.
