685. 684 A two-year covenant
Seeing that several of them were silent, which was considered acquiescence, she continued:
"First of all, the current lord of Tiansheng is strong enough, and he does not need to rely on any interests to maintain his position, just as he did not rely on any interests to obtain Daegu in the first place. Needless to say, his great achievements after he ascended the throne, you should have more in your hearts than me, a little woman, right? So the first article of this concubine, what binds the relationship of interests, is not established! ”
After that, the faces of the ministers became very ugly, because what she said was the truth, and she continued with a light smile,
"Since the first article is not valid, then only this second article remains, about the royal bloodline......"
As she spoke, she raised her head and walked around in front of several ministers, her steps were light and graceful, like a flowing cloud floating between the blue sky and clear water at will, so as not to attract people's eyes.
Seeing that the eyes of several ministers were shocked and unwilling to show admiration, and then they lowered their eyes and did not dare to look at her again, she smiled proudly:
"The only person who gave birth to the bloodline for the Tiansheng royal family is here, the eldest princess was born well-behaved, not stupid, not stupid, with good genes, if nothing else, in the next ten or even twenty years, I should be able to regenerate, it is not difficult to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family, where do you worry?"
Despite what she said, several ministers still refused to give up, and they still caught the flaw.
The old minister who spoke just now came out again:
"Hmph, isn't it difficult? Can the queen guarantee that she will be able to give birth to a boy? If there is no successor to Tiansheng, can the queen bear this responsibility? ”
Lin Ling'er's eyes tightened, her footsteps stood still, and her expression suddenly became cold:
"In that case, we might as well make an appointment."
Conventions?
Qian Ye's heart was about to jump out, and no one knew which one Lin Ling'er was singing.
"What agreement?"
The old minister asked.
"Within three years, if I can't give birth to a baby boy for the lord of the country, I will personally draft a concubine for the lord of the country; If within three years, I successfully give birth to a baby boy, then please sew your mouths shut, and from now on, you will no longer be allowed to say half a word in front of the lord of the country about the selection of concubines, how about it? ”
Lin Ling'er's eyes swept sharply over every minister present, in order to seal everyone's mouths, in order to let Tuoba Jiuxiao no longer bother about this matter, she had to stand up.
If there is no better solution to this problem, there is no better way to solve this problem.
Although she knew that even if she didn't do anything, Tuoba Jiuxiao would definitely be able to keep her promise, but she just had to do it, she just had to do something for him to feel at ease, not only for him, but also for herself.
Since they want it, she will give it to them, she wants to block the mouth, as long as she gives birth to a boy, she can dominate him and the entire harem in a grand manner, she just doesn't let him take a concubine, she just wants him to spoil her alone, so what?
Love is inherently selfish, and she just wants to be selfish to the end!
I want her to generously help him draft a concubine, unless she dies, these old guys' wishful thinking is wrong, she is not a woman in feudal society, what three wives and four concubines, three subordinates and four virtues are all bullshit here for her.
She only needs a man and a family, she doesn't believe it, and within three years, she won't be able to give birth to a son!
Several ministers, including Qian Ye, couldn't help but be stunned, they didn't expect a seemingly weak woman to say something so loudly, but she dared to bet, why didn't they dare to take it?
The old minister thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he said:
"Three years is too long......"
He held out two fingers,
"Two years, if the queen can't give birth to a baby boy for the royal family within two years, then ask the queen to be lenient and generous, personally handle the draft of concubines for the lord of the country, and be a virtuous queen!"
Lin Ling'er frowned, these old guys actually bullied her?
She took a deep look at Xinuan Pavilion, for him and for their future, fight!
"Okay, it's a word, two years is two years!"
Several ministers looked at each other and smiled, and the smile looked a little eerie, as if Lin Ling'er had jumped into their trap.
But Lin Ling'er knew that even if it was a trap, she dug it herself, and she jumped it willingly.
"I hope the queen will do what she says, and the ministers will wait and see."
The old minister said goodbye and took the rest of the people to retire.
Looking at the backs of a few people in the distance, Lin Ling'er shuddered unconsciously, she remembered those vicious methods in the palace fighting drama, what uses musk to make people inertile, and when she is pregnant, she will use all kinds of means to make people abort, and so on is really terrifying, and now, such a thing will not happen to her, right?
She shook her head secretly, hoping not...... Otherwise, she would have simply moved out of the palace and lived there?
Qian Ye stared at her for a long time, and the whole person was a little stunned, until Lin Ling'er turned around and called him.
Lin Ling'er stretched out her hand to him:
"Give me something."
Qian Ye was in a trance:
"Huh? What the? ”
Lin Ling'er pointed to the thing he was holding in his arms:
"Brocade box!"
Only then did Qian Ye react and hurriedly admit his mistake:
"The queen forgives her sins, slave...... It's better for the minions to hold it for you. ”
Lin Ling'er sighed, didn't say anything, looked in the direction of Xinuan Pavilion, and suddenly felt that her heart became very heavy.
In two years, if she can't give birth to a son, she will personally help him choose a concubine, she imagines that kind of scene, and she personally helps him choose a woman, who may be more beautiful than her, with a better figure, or extremely gentle as water, and more likely to be very pleasing to men.
Not only did she have to choose, but after she had chosen, she had to send them to his bed with her own hands, and they were still in the bed, and she wept silently like a resentful woman alone in Jingci Palace...... Oh my God, if that day does come, will she be able to go on?
Just thinking wildly, there was a sudden "plop" sound around her, she turned her face, and saw Qian Ye kneeling on the ground, crying with a face, as if she was about to cry.
"Boss Money, you ......"
"Queen, the slave knows that he is wrong, and the slave really knows that he is wrong......"
Qian Ye said, and actually really cried,
"The slave should not say those things to the queen, if it is not for the slave who is in a hurry to say what he should not say, the queen will not say such things to those ministers that there is no way out, if, if within two years, the queen really has no ...... That minion, the minion really has no face to live anymore...... The slave knew that the lord and queen had gone through hardships to get to where they were today, and they knew that the queen was the only one in the lord's heart, but the slave couldn't see that those old ministers had repeatedly advised the lord because of this matter, which upset the lord of the country, so the slave ......"
Qian Ye is a little incoherent, his whole body is trembling, he is not blessed when he is old, he is in the position of manager, but he can still maintain such a figure, it can only show that he is not like those greedy people, and he has not pretended to be full of fat because of the convenience of his position.
Lin Ling'er knew that Qian Ye was bent on Tuoba Jiuxiao, otherwise she would not have said this to her, the queen.
She sighed, and instead of lifting him up, she crouched down like a naughty child, meeting his gaze:
"Manager Qian, does Tuoba Jiuxiao often abuse you?"
Qian Ye raised her eyes, her face was full of tears, she was very stunned, she knew that he didn't understand what she meant, so she continued,
"Otherwise, why are you so cowardly and trembling, or do you feel really sorry for me?"
"Queen, minions ......"
In fact, she knew that he was so sorry that he didn't know what to say.
She patted Qian Ye on the shoulder:
"Forget it, if you feel sorry for me, you will remind the lord of the country every day, asking him not to be too busy with political affairs in the past two years, and it is best to come to Jingci Palace after the next court, as for why...... Dear, you know! ”
Qian Ye looked at the hand she put on her shoulder, so white and delicate, and felt even more remorseful in her heart, how could such a slender woman afford such a big bet? He's damn it, why is he talking so much?
"Get up, I still have something to look for the lord of the country."
Lin Ling'er picked up the brocade box on the ground, got up and walked towards the Xinuan Pavilion.
Qian Ye still knelt in place, looking at her back, tears in his eyes.
Lin Ling'er walked a few steps but paused, did not look back, but said:
"Actually, I should thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known he worked so hard. Don't worry, this path is my own choice, success or failure has nothing to do with you, and no one will blame you. ”
She reassured Qian Ye and walked into Xinuan Pavilion without looking back.
Behind him, Qian Ye cried and kowtowed to her three times.
When she entered the Xinuan Pavilion, Xiao was reading a book.
On the wide leisure couch, he half leaned on the rectangular pillow, his long body was like a silver dragon resting, the posture was lazy but not degrading, and his body exuded a mature masculinity, and his low-key and introverted temperament attracted her from time to time, making her want to pounce on him like a moth to a fire.
Hearing the sound, his eyes slowly lifted from the book in his hand until it fell on her, and his originally indifferent eyes revealed a trace of surprise, but only a faint glance, he withdrew his gaze and continued to read, as if he had no intention of talking to her.
He was probably still angry, but she didn't understand that it was necessary for him to care so much about someone who no longer posed any threat to her.
But thinking about what he had done for her, she couldn't get angry anymore, but her pride was still there, and she couldn't help but be submissive like a little woman.
Seeing that he was so stable, it was expected that he didn't know what had just happened, and she didn't want him to know that this was her agreement with those courtiers, not his.
Putting the brocade box on the couch, her voice was angry:
"What's going on?"
He was silent, still meeting the thick book, which she ripped off, leaving his hands stiff in the air, which was quite funny.
She threw away the book, opened the brocade box, and deliberately showed him that it was empty:
"I'm asking you, where's my disguise tool?"
