129. Chapter 129
Lin Donghe looked at the full moon at this moment, and naturally had his calculations in it.
The Queen Mother understands but does not break it.
"The mourning family said, this round is up to you to decide." The queen mother's expression is calm, even if this round is elected, she will have to pass the emperor's hurdle again, because they are all the daughters of the courtiers of the family, even if they are not selected in the end, the emperor will personally give marriage, so everyone will attach so much importance to this concubine selection banquet. If it is good, it will ascend to the sky in one step, fly on the branches and become a phoenix, even if it is defeated, it will be envious of others if it can be personally married by the emperor and other princes and nobles.
The Queen Mother's voice fell, and Lin Donghe was about to speak, when Lin Jian suddenly stood up, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Lin Jian.
"Grandma Huang, since it is a concubine, if you find a second brother to replace the question, it is not very suitable. I have already tested the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting before, and the imperial grandmother also has a problem, in fact, there are only six people left in this third round of the competition, if the two are eliminated because of this, it is really a bit cruel, and the grandson also feels unbearable, the imperial grandmother, it is better to leave the six daughters and hand it over to the father and the emperor to decide. ”
As soon as Lin Jian's words came out, he attracted echoes.
Today's competition was held in the middle of the night, and now there are only six people left, and if we compete again, I don't know what chaos will happen. Lin Jian also grasped the queen mother's thoughts, and had already injured a Linghu Pingxue, in fact, the remaining six are not much different from four, and they all have to pass the emperor's level.
Besides, the Queen Mother also has a candidate in her mind, and there is really no need to continue.
The Queen Mother nodded at Lin Jian, her appreciation and relief overflowing.
The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, even if Lin Jian is the prince, but he grew up under the nose of the queen mother, and he will say it in the heart of the queen mother at a critical moment. At this point, Lin Donghe can't always be as wishful as Lin Jian.
Lin Donghe was still standing in place at the moment, his face was pale.
His chess pieces were originally meant to shine, but they were wiped out by Lin Jian in a few words?
Tu Ling'er's face was also slightly pale at this time, but she still had a calm temperament on her face.
"What the prince said is very true, choosing here, the mourning family is also very difficult, these six daughters can satisfy the mourning family whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting or morality, since this is the case, it is better to leave six people and decide together."
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, the full moon raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Jian, seeing that his eyes seemed to be looking in the direction of Tu Ling'er, the full moon's eyes flickered, and Lin Jian also doubted Tu Ling'er? Therefore, he deliberately opened his mouth to let the competition end here, and did not give Tu Ling'er a chance to continue to show his face, so that he would have a better chance to deal with Tu Ling'er.
Tu Ling'er's face was already as normal, and she stood quietly in place with her eyes down, and she couldn't help but glance in the direction of Lin Donghe again.
Full Moon chuckled in her heart, and felt more and more that Tu Ling'er's background was complex and terrifying.
This is the end of a concubine selection banquet, among the six people elected, Song Xiaoyou and Ding Juming are expected to return, these two are good figures in Kyoto on weekdays, they have made a lot of appearances, and they have also accumulated a lot of popularity.
And Tu Ling'er was praised by the Queen Mother because of that picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix, and she was naturally the focus of everyone's eyes.
As for Shang Moxin, she usually doesn't show up much, and she always has a cold face, and everyone doesn't have a deep impression of her, they just feel that she is very difficult to get along with.
And Liu Caiyun was unanimously ridiculed and disdainful. Although Liu Caiyun has superb piano playing skills, he loses because his character is not bright and upright, giving people the feeling of quick success.
Only when it comes to the full moon, everyone doesn't know what to say.
This folk legend is that the fox full moon birthday eight characters are close to the family, is a veritable broom star, and has lived in a small county town for seven years, it stands to reason that it should be rude and rude and illiterate, but a clear tune is blind to everyone's eyes, and when answering the questions asked by the queen mother, it is a thousand pounds to solve all the problems, if she is really the fox full moon who has lived in a small county town for seven years, how can there be such a calm and atmospheric table today? Everyone was surprised, but they were confused and couldn't understand.
――
The concubine banquet ended here under Lin Jian's words.
It was almost late at night, the queen mother and the queen calmed everyone a few words, and left first, and the other family members and ladies got together to talk and chat, and most of the topics were what happened at today's concubine selection banquet.
Linghuquan was left by the Queen Mother to spend the night in Yanxi Palace, and the full moon led Jinglie back alone.
Before the full moon got up, he saw Yan Qingqing and Shang Moxin walking towards him at the same time. The three of them had a tacit understanding when they played the Qingping tune together before.
"Miss Linghu, thanks to you today." Yan Qingqing's appearance is beautiful and refined, and she blushes when she speaks, a typical lady's demeanor.
"Let's go back together?" Shang Moxin spoke lightly, and his tone and expression were all the same plain.
Full Moon smiled at Yan Qingqing, and then returned to Shang Moxin, "My aunt left the carriage behind, and I went with Jinglie." ”
"Alright, farewell." Shang Moxin is not a muddy character, she feels that the full moon temperament is a little close to her, but the full moon is more intelligent and smart, so when talking to people with similar personalities, you can just click to the end.
Shang Moxin nodded at the full moon and turned to leave.
Yan Qingqing smiled shyly, and thought about saying a few words of thanks to the full moon in her heart, but she didn't know how to say it because she was shy, and finally smiled at the full moon and turned to leave.
"Sister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here." Linghu was shocked and gently tugged at the full moon's hand at this time.
Full Moon's brows furrowed slightly, and then he let go as if nothing had happened, looking at Lin Jian who was walking towards him.
In the main hall, the people have not dispersed, Lin Jian's every move has attracted people's attention, and now he is clearly walking towards him, there is no need to wait for him to get closer, the full moon has become the focus of envy and envy in everyone's eyes.
She is also tired today, no matter what Lin Jian says, she will wait for later.
The full moon couldn't help but say, pulled up and turned around and left. Although Linghu was surprised, he followed behind the full moon sensibly and didn't ask a word. Lin Jian's footsteps came to an abrupt halt when the full moon turned around.
The next moment, a woman's exclamation rang out in the crowd.
Lin Jian frowned and looked behind him, only to see that Tu Ling'er suddenly blocked in front of Lin Dongyao.
The full moon, who was about to leave, also stopped, protected the horror behind him with one hand, and looked at the center of the hall vigilantly.
Nian Zheng held a small silver-white snake in his hand, the little snake was spitting out a blood-red core, and its tongue was twisting back and forth.
"Stay!" Lin Dongyao ordered in a deep voice, and did not let Nian Zheng kill the little snake immediately.
Everyone looked at it, only to find that the flesh and blood on the back of Tu Ling'er's hand were blurred, as if she had been bitten by a snake.
"Ling'er! Ling'er! Tu Ling'er's mother, Liang, stumbled to Tu Ling'er's side, seeing that Tu Ling'er's face was pale and her breath was weak, she immediately had no master, and she didn't know what to do.
"This-this, Fifth Highness, please save Ling'er, what's wrong with Ling'er?"
"The poisonous snake came out just now, and Tu Ling'er was bitten by the poisonous snake only when she stood in front of His Fifth Highness, otherwise the injured would be-" The daughter who had a lot of mouths at the bottom covered her mouth before she was halfway through her words.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and they looked at Tu Ling'er who fell to the ground with a weak breath in shock or sympathy.
"New Year's Politics! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Lin Dongyao glanced at Tu Ling'er who was lying on the ground, and ordered in a deep voice.
Nian Zheng handed the little snake to the guards behind him and dodged away.
Tu Ling'er's face became more and more pale and terrifying, as if she had exhausted all her strength to open her eyes and look in the direction of Lin Dongyao, seeing that Lin Dongyao was safe and sound, Tu Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice,
"Fifth Highness, are you alright?" At this juncture, Tu Ling'er can still think about Lin Dongyao's safety, and such a self-sacrificing spirit makes Full Moon wonderful.
If the previous suspicion of her was wrong, then this Tu Ling'er is really affectionate and righteous, but if this is a bitter play, it is really a bloody investment.
Full Moon and Lin Jian glanced at each other and didn't make a sound.
The people in the main hall who were originally about to disperse also gathered around, and looked at Tu Ling'er, who was bitten by a poisonous snake and her face was as pale as paper, all of them shook their heads frequently and sighed.
Lin Dongyao glanced at Tu Ling'er, and the emotions surging in the depths of the ink pupils were deep and cold. The next moment, he leaned over slightly and squatted down.
Han Tong stayed on the back of Tu Ling'er's injured hand for a moment, and then looked at her again, although he stayed by Tu Ling'er's side, his expression at the moment was more scrutinizing than anything else.
"Pass the order, temporarily block the news, and don't tell the Empress Dowager and the Empress." Lin Jian coldly ordered the personal guards, and the guards had to order them to leave.
After a while, the imperial doctor came over, first gave Tu Ling'er a pill to clear heat and detoxify, and then arranged for a few people to carry her to the backyard.
Liang has been following his daughter, and his tears can't stop falling. Tu Ling'er's breath became weaker and weaker, and she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.
Full Moon watched everyone lift Tu Ling'er down with all hands and feet, and her face was always as calm as water.
When Lin Jian walked past her, he whispered, "It's not peaceful tonight, wait for me to send you." ”
Full Moon hears it but ignores it.
Naturally, it won't be peaceful tonight, but what if Lin Jian sends her back to the Hou Mansion safely? Linghu Pingxue's face was hurt like that, how could the second lady and the old lady give up? The affairs of the Hou Mansion have to be solved by herself.
The poisoned Tu Ling'er was lying in the back hall room at the moment, the people in the hall were scattered, and the full moon followed everyone out, holding the shock tightly in her hands.
When it was chaotic just now, the full moon had been paying attention to Lin Donghe, but the strange thing was that Lin Donghe couldn't be found! The poisonous snake attacked Lin Dongyao, but Lin Donghe disappeared, how can these two things not be linked to the full moon?
Full Moon led Thriller towards the path from which he came, and a black shadow flashed by Leng Buding's side, and suddenly stopped in front of her.
"Miss Linghu, my Royal Highness is invited."
