Lin Ruan nodded very dryly: "The courtiers have thought clearly, if Helian Jun really dares to take the opportunity to cooperate with the courtiers and do something detrimental to the interests of the Great Zhou, the courtiers will definitely take his first excuse in person, and then come to the emperor to ask for guilt." ”

The emperor felt that his perception of Lin Ruan was too one-sided, and this girl was completely different from the nobles he had ever seen.

But it was precisely because of this that he had the intention of letting her enter the palace.

This girl is not an ordinary woman, if the prince has her assistance, he will definitely govern Da Zhou better.

It's a pity that this girl has no intention of the prince, and she has no nostalgia for the royal wealth and power.

He was sure that she fell in love with Xiao Jingchen, just because she fell in love with Xiao Jingchen, and it had nothing to do with his power, background, and identity. Even if Xiao Jingchen is just an ordinary person, or even a village husband, she will not hesitate to choose Xiao Jingchen instead of the prince with supreme rights.

Such a quality is really commendable.

It's a pity that such a good girl can't be his daughter-in-law.

The emperor was still a little unhappy in his heart, his own son of the dignified Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually disliked.

This is probably the only one in the world.

But no matter what, Xiao Jingchen was raised by him, and Lin Ruan fell in love with Xiao Jingchen, which shows that there is no problem with his educational philosophy. And the education of the prince and Xiao Jingchen is the same, Lin Ruan didn't like the prince, the reason is just because Xiao Jingchen knows Lin Ruan better.

The emperor comforted himself like this, and he felt a lot more comfortable.

If Lin Ruan knew what the emperor was thinking, he would probably have to tell him directly that he was thinking too much.

She can take a fancy to Xiao Jingchen, not only because Xiao Jingchen is excellent, but also because Xiao Jingchen is single-minded and willing to be a couple for the rest of his life. Otherwise, Xiao Jingchen would be ten times better than now, and it would be absolutely impossible for her to be with him.

She, Lin Ruan, is so domineering.

Her man can only be her alone in this life, and no one wants to get involved.

The emperor didn't know what Lin Ruan was thinking, and if he knew, he would definitely accuse her of being too jealous.

The emperor is very busy, the Queen Mother was injured a few days ago, he couldn't calm down, a lot of official affairs have been backlogged, and now the Queen Mother is injured, he has to hurry up and go all out to deal with official affairs, so he sat here for a while in the Queen Mother, and then went to the imperial study.

The queen saw that the queen mother seemed to have something to say to Lin Ruan in private, so she took Changle's mother and son away.

After everyone was done, the Queen Mother said to Lin Ruan: "Chen'er came to tell the mourning family about you before, and I won't tell you that the mourning family was not optimistic about you at the beginning. Your background is too low, and because of Chen'er's mother, I don't want him to marry a woman who can influence him. ”

But he was hard-hearted, if you don't marry, the mourning family only has a grandson like him, and he can't really see him not marrying for life, so the mourning family decided to give in. Who knew that the emperor wanted you to enter the palace to accompany the prince. The mourning family didn't know how to balance this matter, on the one hand, the grandson of the mourning family who cared about it the most, and on the other hand, the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the mourning family felt very embarrassed, so they decided to ignore this matter for the time being. ”

"Maybe you think that the mourning family doesn't want to offend both sides, and that the mourning family is a bit too calculating, you can think so. Because the mourning family does have some such thoughts, because the mourning family is not only Chen'er's maternal grandmother, but also the queen mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he can sacrifice the interests of Chen'er in exchange for the century-old prosperity of the Great Zhou, then the mourning family is willing to wronged him, even if he hates the mourning family. ”

After Lin Ruan listened, he lowered his head and smiled.

"Queen Mother, your idea is right, indeed, your identity is different, and the angle from which you consider things is also different. If I were you, maybe I'd think the same way you do. It is the most rational and cost-effective way to sacrifice the interests of one or two people in exchange for greater and more long-term interests. ”

"However, you and the emperor only thought of the good side, but did not ask the courtiers what they thought. Although the courtiers are insignificant, they are definitely not a puppet at the mercy of others. Although it is a bit disrespectful to say this, the courtier is such a person, and she will never let anyone use my marriage for profit. Even if it is for the sake of the people of the world, the courtiers are unwilling. ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "Even if the emperor decrees to force you to marry?" ”

Lin Ruan nodded without hesitation, "Yes." Even if the emperor forced his courtiers to marry the prince, the courtiers would never agree. ”

The Queen Mother asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will use the Shen family to blackmail you?" ”

Lin Ruan said with great confidence: "The emperor will not do that. Why did the emperor want his courtiers to enter the palace? It's nothing more than looking at the Shen family behind the courtiers. The contribution made by the Shen family to the Great Zhou is obvious to all in the world. Why did the emperor let his courtiers enter the palace, the courtiers knew in their hearts that it was nothing more than the emperor's mental trick. But the emperor will not punish the Shen family for the sins of the courtiers because of their disobedience. ”

"Because the Shen family's sins are cured, it will cool the hearts of the soldiers in the world, so the emperor will let the prince go to Huaiyang Mansion. There is no doubt that the emperor is a clear monarch, and there is no problem with the emperor's thoughts, all kings will choose to use this simplest and most effective method to balance the forces of all parties. ”

However, the courtiers would not accept such an arrangement. Even if the result of the rebellion is that the emperor wants to kill the courtiers, the courtiers will not give in. In just a few decades, courtiers can use their lives to serve the country loyally, but courtiers don't want to use the happiness of their lives to be a pawn in the hands of the emperor. ”

The Queen Mother looked at Lin Ruan for a long time, and then smiled: "The mourning family finally knows why Chen'er likes you." You are indeed different from the ordinary ladies. Princess Xiao's position is handed over to you to sit, and the mourning family is very relieved. ”

Lin Ruan smiled, "It's an honor for the courtiers to be recognized by the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled gently at Lin Ruan, and there was a little more intimacy in her smile, "When Chen'er comes back from her errand, the mourning family will give you a marriage, and as soon as you are ready, the marriage will be done." Chen'er has become a parent, and the things that the mourning family has to worry about in this life are almost completed, and they will wait for their old age in the future. ”

Lin Ruan's eyes flashed, it seemed that the Queen Mother didn't know about Xiao Jingchen's trip to Northern Xinjiang.

Also, if the Queen Mother knew about this matter, she was afraid that she would be even more stimulated.

So Lin Ruan lowered his head with a smile, "It's all up to the Queen Mother." ”

When Empress Dowager Lin came out of the palace, Lin Ruan saw Princess Changle waiting in the garden with the little princess.

As soon as he saw Lin Ruan come out, the little county king ran towards her, "Aunt Ruan, can you take me to your mansion as a guest later?" ”

Lin Ruan touched his soft little face, "Of course you can." ”

While the two were talking, Princess Changle also walked over slowly with her waist on her back, "Why didn't you seize the opportunity just now and ask my father to marry you?" ”
