Chapter 40: Boss Xin, who sticks to his principles
"Prime Minister, this is a bit absolute, right? No matter how big the people's industry is, in the final analysis, it is just a seller of goods, and it can't be on the table! This time, the emperor can let the people's daughters participate, which is to promote the people's daughters and give them face, but this does not mean that the people's daughters can do anything wrong. Prime Minister, the people's daughter has no grievances with you, you can't force the people's daughter to ignore the grace of heaven, violate the emperor's decree, and harm the lives of the people's women! ”
Xin Muyuan's words were sincere, and every frown and cluster showed the embarrassment and inaction of the little woman.
The prime minister lowered his eyes and twisted his eyebrows, his face was gloomy and ugly, as if he was thinking about Xin Muyuan's words. After a while, he still stood on his daughter's side and continued to deal with Xin Muyuan.
It's a pity that Xin Muyuan rarely sticks to his decision and is unmoved. Even if the prime minister offered a sky-high price, she couldn't accept it.
The two returned empty-handed, each dejected, not knowing how to face their daughter who was waiting at home.
What should come is still what you have to come.
Before the two of them got home, they saw Luo Qin standing at the door looking forward to it. The two subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the sharp-eyed Luo Qin had already seen them and waved vigorously at them.
Prime Minister Luo sighed, walked over with a straight face, and said angrily: "Didn't I say that you should go to sleep, and leave the rest to your father and mother?" ”
Mrs. Luo also looked at her distressedly, stretched out her hand to pin her scattered broken hair behind her ear, and said: "Yes, in order to toss the Luban lock of Nalaoshzi, you didn't sleep all night last night, and if you don't rest, my mother is worried that your body can't stand it!" ”
"Mother, I'm fine, besides, I can't sleep if this Luban lock is not unlocked," Luo Qin took Mrs. Luo's hand, looked back and forth between Mrs. Luo and Prime Minister Luo, and asked, "Father, mother, did you help your daughter get the drawings of Luban lock?" ”
Mrs. Luo and Prime Minister Luo's breath stagnated.
Prime Minister Luo looked at his daughter's eyes full of expectation and exhaustion, suddenly lost his temper, and shouted at Luo Qin: "What drawings! I think about the drawings every day, and if I have that time, I might as well study and study how to unlock the Luban lock! As a woman, I talk about marrying and liking day by day, and I am not ashamed! Your emperor's brother didn't plan to marry you at all, and he licked his face all day long and sent it up! Who is touching him by doing so much for him? ”
Luo Cheng's words are heart-wrenching.
Luo Qin opened his mouth, unable to speak, and his bean-sized eyes burst out, and he fell down.
Prime Minister Luo was frightened and weak-hearted, he wanted to comfort his injured daughter, but he didn't want to say anything for the sake of face, so he simply threw his sleeves and left.
Now, Luo Qin cried even more fiercely.
Mrs. Luo's heart was about to be broken by crying, so she hurriedly took her little baby who had been pampered for more than ten years into her arms, gently patted her back to comfort her, and said, "Good, don't cry, don't cry, you cry, my mother is in pain." Qin'er doesn't cry, you wait for your mother to clean up your father for you! ”
Mrs. Lowe coaxed the big treasure to sleep for a while, and then tiptoed to cover her with the quilt, and then went to her husband in a rage.
Seeing him smoking a big cigarette in the house, he scolded him with his head and face, and said fiercely with red eyes and neck: "My daughter is already very sad, why do you still use that bad language to talk to her?" Didn't you break her heart! ”
Prime Minister Luo was also very annoyed and said, "Is that me hurting her heart!" That's her own heartbreak! After saying that, it was not enough, and she added in a whisper, "There are so many good men in the world, she doesn't want it, but she is eyeing the emperor with the most concubines, isn't she asking for hardship?" ”
"What does it mean to ask for hardship? That's the emperor! If a daughter marries her, she will enjoy wealth and glory! As a concubine, what an honor it is for a family! ”
"Hehe, in terms of Xin Muyuan's way of choosing concubines, how many of them can finally enter the harem are fuel-efficient lamps? It's good that your daughter isn't bullied by others, and she still expects to climb up by stepping on other people's heads? ”
Mrs. Luo was furious, glared and gritted her teeth, and said, "In the end, it's still Xin Muyuan's fault!" What are the three major levels of Lao Shizi, it is not good to be the owner of his own shop, he has to get involved with the emperor's selection of concubines, and he does not see if he is qualified! ”
The prime minister opened his mouth, but finally shook his head and said nothing. Later, he looked for Xin Muyuan alone a few times, but the other party's attitude was very resolute, and he didn't get the slightest benefit.
"You offended the prime minister this time." Xie Zhan followed Xin Muyuan's example and lay on the chaise longue basking in the sun, and because of the tip, the maids were also willing to feed him.
Xin Muyuan's closed eyes slowly opened, and their eyeballs looked like beautiful obsidian in the sunlight. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was thinking about something. After a moment, there was an "um" sound.
Xie Zhan's eyes rolled and he smiled, "I heard that your ex-husband is the son of the Protector Mansion, Xie Zhan." Why don't you go to him and try it? Maybe he'll help you. ”
"Why?" Xin Muyuan looked at him, "What can you do." ”
Xie Zhan, who was shot: "......" Thank you, I was offended.
"Maybe? I heard that he has a very close relationship with the emperor, you go to him and have a relationship with him, and when he is happy, doesn't he cover you? Xie Zhan's eyes were shining, and he looked excited.
"Why bother?" Xin Muyuan still stared at him expressionlessly, and said, "Then why don't I go directly to the emperor?" ”
Xie Zhan: "......" This is really stealing chickens and rice, "But the emperor has all kinds of opportunities, it's hard to say if he can't see you, how can you guarantee that you can enter the palace and sue him?" How can you be sure that he will protect you? Don't forget, the person who bullied you this time is the prime minister. ”
"If I can directly go to the emperor to ask for help, and the emperor is not willing to protect me, then I can only go to Gongzi Xie and ask him to ask the emperor to help, wouldn't the emperor be even more insecure?"
"......" Xie Zhan felt a little pain in his heart, "This is not necessarily, I heard that the emperor's feelings for this brother of him are very unusual." If he is a guarantor in the middle, the emperor will protect you even in the face of his brother. ”
Xin Muyuan's face was expressionless: "Then they have such a good relationship, why is the noble person chosen by me instead of him?" ”
Xie Zhan: "......" His chest seemed to hurt even more, but he could still struggle, "Those who can participate in the selection of concubines are all Wang Sun Guixuan, no matter which one is brought out, it is not easy to offend." Maybe it's because he doesn't want his brother to offend these nobles and suffer, so he casually finds a punching bag? ”
These words had the meaning of sowing discord, and Xie Zhan only reacted after he finished speaking, and suddenly felt empty, his eyes looked around, and he didn't dare to look directly at Xin Muyuan.
However, even if he didn't look at her, Xie Zhan could feel that at this time, a burning gaze was hitting his body.
