Chapter 20: Mixed Eyes
Yan Shao is a thorn in the eye of the current emperor Yan Guang, Yan Guang can't get rid of it quickly, but he still has to treat Yan Shao as a political archway for the sake of fame.
Who called him Yan Yong's son.
Some people have long said that Yan Guang's throne is not justifiable enough, and the voice of the people nostalgic for the abolished prince has always existed. Yan Guang was also helpless, and could only prove his open-mindedness by being tolerant of Yan Shao.
One consequence of this is to raise tigers. As the children grew up, they had to argue with their uncles and get back the glory of their royal family for their dead father.
Then in order to hold down this hole, the emperor had to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and connived at the Yin clan to continue to sit bigger, so as to achieve the purpose of balancing the Dongping County Palace.
It's really about luring tigers and driving wolves.
In the end, he was burned and ruined, and Lin Qiantan couldn't tell whether he should sympathize with him or not.
Yan Shao in front of him is only in his early twenties, but like Lin Qiantan when he died in his previous life, he is about to come to the end of his life.
He and Yan Guang are also considered to be snipe clam rivalry, and tenacity is the benefit of fishermen. At this time, he was still in high spirits, but due to the rising of the Yin clan, the right Xiang Gu Ping also gave priority to attacking him, and his power had actually begun to shrink under the suppression of many parties.
It is not surprising that they would think of seeking political alliances through marriage.
When Yan Yong was there, the Chu family had a close relationship with the East Palace, and if it was necessary for a political marriage, the Chu family was a first choice. Chu Ling, the youngest daughter of the Chu family, is about the same age as him, and she is his preferred target.
However, Lin Qiantan also knew that the Zhengguo Mansion and the Wenchengbo Mansion also threw olive branches to him. The name of the eldest grandson is still very valuable for investment in the eyes of the major families.
Lin Qiantan knew that if she made a move to destroy a bad relationship between Yan Shao and Chu Ling, then there should always be someone else to fill the vacancy. The Chu family does not go directly to the death because of provoking Yan Shao, then someone else has to provoke it.
However, these are not what Lin Qiantan considered.
She just wanted to save the Chu family, that's all. As for whether there will be other families who will be unlucky because of the butterfly effect, she doesn't care.
Maybe it was also because he had stayed on Yan Shao for too long, and Yan Shao instinctively felt that someone was watching him. He looked in the direction he intuitively perceived, and happened to see Lin Qiantan.
Yan Shao wants to consolidate his power through marriage, so he naturally will not choose only one, the Chu family is one, and the Zhang family of the Zheng Guogong Mansion is also one family. But in addition to the main concubine candidates, as the king of the county, he can accept side concubines and even concubines.
Miss Yan Qi of the Dongshan Hou Mansion...... A hint of interest flashed in Yan Shao's eyes. The Lin family is also helpful to his unsuccessful imperial business, maybe you can also consider taking a look!
Lin Qiantan peeked at people and was caught by someone, and hurriedly pretended to be natural and turned her head to talk to Chu Ling, not knowing that because of this, she also went to Yan Shao's list of wives and concubines to report her name.
Chu Ling smiled: "What are you looking at, I've been stunned for a long time."
Lin Qiantan's face was flushed, and she looked like she was drinking hard, and when she saw Chu Ling asking her, she smiled and patted her face to show that she was telling the truth: "I drank too much wine, and I was a little uncomfortable."
Chu Ling then took the opportunity to say, "Then do you want to get up and go to rest?"
Lin Qiantan also replied as in her previous life: "Okay."
The two of them moved a little sluggishly, and slowly stood up with the support of the girl, and walked towards the outside of the venue.
Lin Qiantan thought to herself, even if she deliberately changed her actions, there were still many details that were the same no matter what she did.
Here she and Chu Ling got up, and over there Dong Yong really moved when she heard the sound, Lin Qiantan looked secretly out of the corner of her eyes, and her eyes became cold.
Chu Ling said that he was going to go to the clean room, and Lin Qiantan happened to have eaten too much wine, and the urge to urinate was up, so the two of them went in together and used the Gong bucket in different compartments separately. Lin Qiantan also deliberately moved to come out quickly, but there was too much wine in her stomach, and she couldn't drain it all the time, but as soon as she came out, she found that Chu Ling was no longer there.
Lin Qiantan grabbed the maid who was said to have been left by Chu Ling and asked, and the maid said, The second lady has something to leave for a while.
Without saying a few words, the maid called the futon went on to persuade Lin Qiantan to rest in the wing next to the clean room, saying that Chu Ling would come back immediately.
Lin Qiantan really wanted to answer for this maid: Is it that Dong Yong has been hiding behind the screen next door and waiting for her.
Lin Qiantan couldn't help but laugh, the last time she was fifteen or sixteen years old, why did she have a pair of white eyes, and she didn't see it at all, this maid who claimed to be left by Chu Ling was actually not the person next to Chu Ling.
First, a note lured Chu Ling away, and then logically asked her to wait next door for a while. Two-line operation, no delay on either side. And Jinhe, who was still waiting for her outside just now, probably didn't know if she was knocked unconscious.
But thinking about it in her heart, Lin Qiantan quietly followed the maid's words and responded with a "yes". The maid breathed a sigh of relief, and naturally relieved herself, and was about to lead Lin Qiantan forward with her meaning, when she suddenly felt a pain in her neck and back, she was not prepared at all, so her eyes were dark, and the next moment her body was accurately paralyzed in Lin Qiantan's arms.
Lin Qiantan originally thought that maybe there would be someone else ambushing in the shadows, but she really overestimated how much the people who calculated her attached importance to her.
Yin Wei didn't think that Lin Qiantan, a child who had been fooled by her since she was a child, could get away with it once, could she have good luck a second time?
So there is really only one person waiting outside the clean room.
In the next room, it was pitch black, but Dong Yong was indeed hiding behind the screen as Lin Qiantan thought.
Lin Qiantan in her previous life was already drunk at this time, and she was sent into the house, but she was only wantonly punished by others.
In this life, Lin Qiantan will be fine. If something happens, it will only be this maid who doesn't know whose true master is allegiance.
Lin Qiantan helped the maid called the futon, walked a short distance to the room with the door of the next room ajar, and deliberately lowered her voice to imitate the maid's voice: "Dong Gongzi, are you there?" Miss Lin Qi is already drunk, and the slave can't help her! Come and help! ”
Sure enough, there was a little squirming in the room immediately.
Lin Qiantan pricked up her ears, listened to Dong Yong's fast-paced footsteps over there, calculated the distance, and before Dong Yong walked to the door to see the door, she pushed the maid in, and as soon as the warm nephrite entered her arms, Dong Yong was already drunk, and he was even more half-hearted by the blow in front of his chest, and he lost his mind. His mind was slightly confused, but he thought it was Lin Qiantan, driven by the strength of the wine, he immediately couldn't recognize it, regardless of it, he immediately took someone into the house to run errands.
