Chapter Ninety-Nine: What is Love?
"Do you still know that there is a sister of mine?"
"Slave and maid, see the Seven Princesses!"
"You guys stand down, this palace wants to talk to your young lady, so you all quit."
"Yes." Everyone immediately withdrew from the hall, eager to quit, Tan Yinyin's trouble after trouble, it was really a headache.
After everyone left, Tan Yinyin grabbed Xiao Liangyun's hand and whimpered, "Sister Liangyun, Yinyin is so uncomfortable, I really don't like to marry someone I don't love like this, this is a marriage of political interests." ”
"But you are so noisy that the whole city knows, do you know that Ma Wenjie still coaxes you and spoils you is already a great respect for you?" Xiao Liangyun glanced at her coldly, "Come with me." She pulled Tan Yinyin to sit on the chair next to her, and then stared at her.
"Tell me, why don't you want to marry Ma Wenjie? Did he hit you? Scolding you? Or is it bad for you? ”
"No, he is good to me, down-to-earth, motivated, and hard-working, but Sister Liangyu, you marry someone you like, I marry someone I don't like, even if he likes me, I don't like him."
"Okay, okay, it's okay if you don't like him, you tell me who you like?"
This question immediately choked her.
"I, I."
A look stared at her, Tan Yinyin's face suddenly turned pale, "Sister, I said, I like a man, although he has no money and no fame now, but he said that he will be good to me." ”
"What's it called?"
"Lin Zhihang."
"Lin Zhihang, Lin Zhihang, is the doorman under the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Yes."
"Do you really like him?" Xiao Liangyun confirmed again and again, she nodded and said, "I begged my father, I want to marry him, he is very knowledgeable, he won't find an official to do it, even if he can't find it, there is still a father, it's a big deal to let his father help...... But my father disagreed, not to say that I was ignorant, and married me to Ma Wenjie, the son of the governor's family, he was very good, but I didn't like him. Looking at her carefully, you can still clearly see the tears on her little face,
"Okay, yes, I'll go and tell the people of the Governor's Mansion to let you fake your death, and then save the face of your Prime Minister's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion, you can stay and fly with your Langjun in this fake death fire, but you can no longer enjoy these glory and wealth, are you willing."
"Naturally, Yinyin is willing! If you can stay and fly with Zhihang, Yinyin is willing to give up everything. It doesn't matter if you are rich or rich, or if you are in a position of power. ”
"Okay, then you have to promise me, these days, you will obediently be a young lady, don't hang yourself and take medicine at every turn."
"Otoin knows."
I talked to her all afternoon, coaxed her to sleep, and then she came out and closed the door. Not far from the door, there was a tall and strong man, with good facial features and a dignified appearance, but his eyes were obviously loose and worried, as if he hadn't rested well for a long time.
"Everyone in the world says that the new Lord Thorn Shi looks ordinary, simple and wooden, and the palace looks at Lord Thorn Shi well-dressed and dignified, not like others say."
"Weichen Ma Wenjie meets the princess." He immediately saluted.
Xiao Liangyun smiled, brushed his sleeves and waved his hand. "This palace doesn't like these etiquettes, you don't need too much etiquette in your own mansion, this palace came to find Yinyin today, do you like Yinyin?"
"Hui Niangniang, indeed." His face was not very good, and he still looked inside the room as he answered, as if he was worried about something.
"Don't look at it, Bengong has already persuaded Yinyin, she hasn't rested for a few days, and she's sleeping in the house at this time, Bengong has already ordered someone to take care of her head in the house, and she will come out to report something."
"Thank you, Niang!" Ma Wenjie was immediately relieved, and then he was a little nervous when he thought of something, glancing at Xiao Liangyun who wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it. "Hongu knows, you want to ask what Hongu and Otoyin talked about, and what purpose. You can rest assured, this palace and Yinyin are personal friends, and they were friends with her when they were young, and they have nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Royal Mansion, but they are simply worried about her body. She has a stubborn temper, and there are some things that I have to trouble you to be considerate and considerate of. ”
Hearing this, Ma Wenjie immediately knelt on the ground in panic and shouted, "Wechen doesn't dare to blame Miss Tan, Wechen is already a great luck to be able to marry Miss Prime Minister, I really don't dare to blame, it's too late for Wechen to be spoiled." ”
"That's right.,Hongu wants to discuss something with you.,I think you like Yinyin.,It should be able to be fulfilled.,Isn't it?"
"But at the mother's command."
Xiao Liangyu didn't know what to say in his ear, his face turned pale suddenly, and then he was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said with determination. "Okay, Wechen will prepare in a few days."
"The prince told me that you are a down-to-earth and motivated person, so this palace trusts you, and this palace also knows that Yinyin doesn't hate you, but she is still young, and she always has to go through some things to know the sinister, maybe after this thing is done, that person will really be good to Yinyin, and it may also hurt Yinyin completely, however, this palace thinks that you love her, so you will be willing to do this for her."
"Yes, Weichen is willing, as long as she is really happy."
Xiao Liangyun smiled faintly, "Then the palace has returned to the palace." ”
Back at the palace, Qiluo hadn't come back yet, but He Lian came back early overnight, changed into civilian clothes and didn't know what to do in the courtyard with his head down. "What are you doing in my garden?"
"Huh?" The cold question startled him, and immediately turned around and put his hands behind his back like a child who had done something wrong, and said, "No, I was thinking that you always like to be busy in the garden all morning or night, I don't know what you are planting, do you have a favorite flower, if there is one, I want to ask for one, and then ask others if there are any seeds to plant more." ”
"Poof." Looking at his appearance, she couldn't help but smile and said, "It has nothing to do with you, you just eat and sleep and deal with official business in a down-to-earth manner, and you don't need to worry about my daughter's affairs." ”
"Got it, ma'am."
"Today, in the court, did His Majesty say that the vacant post of Taishou has been replaced?"
"The father and the emperor mentioned it, the crown prince and the five kings all made recommendations, I didn't speak and was in a wait-and-see attitude, and after a while he asked the prime minister, and Lord Tan silently handed over a list."
"Well, that's good."
He Lian didn't react in surprise when he saw her, he turned his head very seriously and said with a wicked smile, "I said, it won't be my little lady's hands and feet, right?" ”
"How can the concubines have such magical powers, but they have only counted some." Xiao Liangyun also smiled and did not deny it.
"Don't be modest, my lady is a staff officer with great powers."
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble, I'm serious, I know you like to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger the most, maybe you don't need my efforts and support, but I will still do what I think, the prince is serving the country in a dignified and upright way, but in fact, he is half a pound and eight taels with the five kings behind his back, just for the throne, so just in case, I have to think of all the ways. I remember that you promised me before, is it true that you killed Xiao Yu, there must be a reason to kill him, what reason, is to disclose all the things he did before to the people. ”
"What are your plans?"
"Let's see who the new Taishou is, and then continue to encroach on the power of the prince, but I can't wait, it's time for the prince to step down." Ambition flashed in her eyes for the first time, and Helian pondered for a moment before laughing. "If that's the case, I've got a show."
"The most important chess pieces around the prince are the Marquis of Yue and the imperial concubine, so if you want the prince to die completely, you have to make him think that he has won." The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
"Hahahaha, we're really ruthless."
The days are still developing as usual, and there are no other waves, and after a few days, news came from the palace that the new Taishou position was held by Yang Zhong, the ninth Taibao, and the news of the young lady's troubles no longer came from the Governor's Mansion.
After another two days, there was no one in the governor's mansion, only the maids and female dependents in the mansion remained, Tan Yinyin lit a fire and burned her house as Xiao Liangyun said, and then released the dead female corpse and pretended to be dead. And she took advantage of the chaos to escape, went to a small house arranged by Xiao Liangyu and Qiluo, and met Lin Lang, who she longed for, in the small thatched house.
Lin Zhihang actually didn't really want to see her, to be honest, his appearance was first-class in the capital, and his knowledge was also first-class, and his purpose as a guest in the Prime Minister's Mansion was just to get close to Tan Yinyin and then tie up the big fat meat in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so as to soar.
But Tan Yinyin actually said that he didn't want anything, how could it be, he Lin Zhihang had been ridiculed and spurned since he was a child because he had no money and no status, saying that he was a drama, saying that he was a useless person, and he thought that this eldest lady could bring him something, but he actually made a joke of fake death?
"I said Yinyin, you really fell out with the Governor's Mansion, so you set this fire and said you were dead, and then ran away to find me?"
"Of course! I have worked so hard to find this body that is almost exactly the same as mine, unless my mother comes to the autopsy in person to find something wrong, but they won't, because they can't afford to lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they will definitely let me die You can rest assured, the Governor's Mansion will not find it here, we can finally stay and fly together. ”
"Are you crazy, if this matter is found out, we will lose our heads."
"It's okay, no one will know, didn't you say before that if I was the daughter of a common people's family, I wouldn't have so many concerns, and you would marry me directly? I'm now the daughter of a common people's family. ”
Lin Zhihang looked at her eager and eager eyes, perfunctory, and then followed her to the earthen house in the countryside prepared by Xiao Liangyun.
Tan Yinyin was very happy, feeling that she had finally become a farmer woman of the Tian family, a sweet and happy life, sunrise and sunset, but Lin Zhihang was a little strange.
Finally on the seventh day, Lin Zhihang pulled her outside, "Do you really have nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
"Fool, I said a long time ago that I have nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am already your person, let's contract a field here, use these jewelry I brought to buy some crops, wouldn't it be nice for you to go outside and paint?"
"Good what?" One shook his hand vigorously, Tan Yinyin was stunned, "You hurt me." ”
"You deserve it! I never said I wanted to live with you here for the rest of my life, I thought the prime minister would at least find you and promote me, but no, he didn't do anything, then you are of no use to me. ”
"You, what do you mean? Didn't you say you liked me? ”
"I like you? I like Miss Tan! Isn't it like you who have nothing now, you know? Are you good-looking? You don't have the bewitching figure of the dancing girl in the song workshop, and you don't have the status of a wealthy family, and you are knowledgeable, but you are a woman, what's the use of asking for these big truths? To outdo me? ”
"What?"
"I said it! You can love you wherever you want, I don't like you, and I'm fed up with life here! Lin Zhihang was furious, and he threw himself away angrily.
