On the day when Prince Yao entered the palace to ask for a wedding, the sky was cloudless, he was wearing a smoke-blue robe, a jade belt around his waist, and his face was full of a satisfied smile, and he strode towards the Zichen Palace.

"Your Highness seems to be particularly happy today, but what is the joy?"

"I can't say it yet," Li Yao said as he walked with a high spirit, "However, when it is clear that my father has obtained my father's permission, this palace must be the first to tell Nan Gonggong." ”

Li Nan hid his face and laughed a few times, and when he saw that he was almost at the gate of the hall, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Li Yao: "Your Highness, you can't go in at this time." ”

Li Yao was stunned for a moment, glanced at the hall, and asked, "But a courtier is here, and my father is still discussing inside?"

"It's someone in there, not a courtier. Li Nan stepped forward and said softly: "She is the daughter of Lin Fengtai of Zhongshu Province, and Miss Lin Yuebai is inside." ”

"Why is she here?

"The old slave privately guessed, this is Your Majesty wants to give you and the Lin family a marriage! Yesterday, someone combined Miss Lin's birthday, and today announced that she came over, Your Majesty thinks that he attaches great importance to it, and he wants to ask questions first-no, he is talking inside!" Li Nan smiled and his eyes narrowed into a slit, "Your Highness and Your Majesty really have a heart, Your Majesty has been asking for half an hour, it is estimated that you will have to announce your arrival after asking, why don't Your Highness wait here for a while?"

Looking at the smile on Li Nan's face, Li Yao couldn't smile at all: with his current control of the palace and outside the palace, don't say that the emperor announced such a big thing as Lin Yuebai's entry into the palace, even if Si Tiantai checked Lin Yuebai's birthday and looked at the celestial phenomena last night, he should get the news as soon as possible. What's more, it is impossible for the current emperor to be in a hurry to promote their marriage, even if it is a matter of combining eight characters, it should be in the queen's palace, but he silently summoned Lin Yuebai to the Zichen Palace-Li Yao's face suddenly became serious, but when he saw Li Nan casting a puzzled gaze at him, he instantly returned to the image of the kind and humble prince:

"Since my father is discussing here, and it is related to the palace, the palace will retreat first, and when the father summons him, the palace will thank Gonggong Nan for his reminder today. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too polite, just wait for the good news to be announced, just let the old slave be a little happy. Li Nan bowed his hand and sent Li Yao out with a smile, seeing that he was in a hurry, so he muttered: "Young people are young people, they are going to be happy, their steps are fast, the girl of the Lin family is steady, and they have never been able to enter the Zichen Hall in the harem, and they are not chaotic at all, I heard that it is a natural phoenix life, and it is really different......

Inside the Zichen Palace.

Lin Yuebai, who was born with a phoenix life, was kneeling in the hall answering one question after another from the emperor, from three from four virtues to women's rules to poetry and songs to governing the inner house, filial piety to parents and children, Lin Yuebai answered all clearly, every answer was flawless, every answer was without mistakes or omissions, and no matter how many questions she answered, her posture was dignified and generous, and even the pendant on the earrings was only slightly shaking.

Half an hour passed, and Emperor Li didn't ask Lin Yuebai to get up, but just put aside the red paper with the eight characters of the birth date in his hand, and said slowly: "Your father, you will be very good." ”

"Courtier, Your Majesty Xie appreciates. ”

"Now that the business is over, Lin Yuebai, do you have anything else to say to the widow?"

Lin Yuebai's heart sank, she had already learned from Li Yao and Yao Jin that His Majesty the Emperor was thoughtful, and knew that he was not in favor of his marriage with Li Yao now, but what could she do now-Thinking of Jiao Xiao, who was still subject to Li Yao, and thinking of Yao Jin, who was far away in Caiyun City, Lin Yuebai's heart trembled, kowtowed again, and lowered her head and said: "The courtiers are stupid, I really don't know what Your Majesty means." ”

"Lin Yuebai, do you know that the widow can kill you at any time, and you don't need a single soldier at all, and even the prince you bothered to seduce will not know. ”

Lin Yue's hand in the white sleeve retracted suddenly, her earrings kept shaking, her heart was pounding, and she had to keep saying to herself: He won't, he lied to you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!

"Lin Yuebai, you are a simple-minded child, this is obvious to the widow, the Lin family sees the crime, and it has nothing to do with you, the widow has no intention of treating you, what the widow wants to know, you should also be clear, but if you don't say it again-"

Silence, Emperor Li's usual method, the silence that was pressed down, suppressed people's panic, and overwhelmed people until the whole rout, at this moment, Lin Yuebai couldn't feel this compelling depression, but she really didn't know what the emperor wanted her to say, she might know a lot of things that the emperor didn't know, those things about Xiaonanguo, but were those useful to the emperor? Or did the emperor want to know about Li Yao and Wei Nanyan? But she didn't even want to know about that matter...... Lin Yuebai's heart was in turmoil, and suddenly Yao Jin's laughing face flashed in her mind, and in her heart, Lin Yuebai kowtowed deeply: "What Your Majesty wants to know is probably not here with the courtiers, and what the courtiers want to say, Your Majesty is not interested in listening." ”

"Oh, you say, come and listen. ”

"Courtier—" Lin Yuebai took a deep breath and raised her head, "The courtiers beg Your Majesty to give Her Royal Highness the princess back her freedom!"

Li Huang frowned slightly, carefully looked at the young girl kneeling with His Royal Highness, she is different from Yao Jin and Li Yao, she grew up in this world, she is a woman who was educated and grown up in this world, she has a God-given face, but she has always been following the crowd and letting others fiddle with her, Li Zheng takes a fancy to him, Li Yao also takes a fancy to her, whether it is to take a fancy to her appearance or her identity, whether it is to follow Yao Jin to Xiaonanguo or return to the capital, she has no right to choose. But when she came to the lord of a country, under the boundless authority of the emperor, as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked for a freedom for herself, for the freedom of another person.

"Lin Yuebai, you are confused. Her Royal Highness the princess has already gotten the freedom she wants, nine cities, one river and thirteen counties, a golden golden gold river, and now there are Alor Islands, isn't she free enough, and she still needs you to ask the widow?"

"Your Majesty, if Her Royal Highness the princess has been a little palace maid in the palace, or if Her Majesty recognized her and let her out of the palace back then, then she may have been free by now, why should the courtiers ask for more, but now...... It's just that the shackles of gold and silver are put on her one after another, and she can't get more than half a point of real freedom. ”

"Stupid. Lin, every word you say is simply stupid!"

Li Huang's face was serious and indifferent, the reprimand seemed to have an echo, one by one into his ears, in Lin Yuebai's opinion, the person in front of him and all this is so ruthless and terrifying, but it is so distant and unreal, she looked at the person on the ** and gorgeous throne, and suddenly a strange thought came to her: If Li Yao sat there one day, maybe he would be like this at that time......
