Chapter 15: A Banquet in the Imperial Garden

I like her real and unpretentious appearance, I like the way she sacrificed her life to save me, and I like the kindness of her who tried all her tricks but finally let her go. ”

"She obviously has the ability to protect herself and have her own status in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she didn't do that." Ling Changwu looked out the window.

Prime Minister's house.

"Master, you are finally back, what does the king mean?" Lin Xiaoniang staggered forward, with a pretentious look, and whispered softly in Shen Shang's ear.

The prime minister took off his official uniform and hat impatiently, and sat down on the Taishi chair suddenly, "What can I say, what else can I say!" Your baby daughter has already secretly gone to have a tryst with the eldest prince, and the eldest prince may have already made it clear that he would not marry her. ”

"Today, my old face can be regarded as lost in the court." The prime minister looked impatient, in his eyes, whether his daughter or son, it was not as important as his own face and power.

"Sir, what do you mean by this?" Lin Xiaoniang still asked with a thick old face that didn't know how to measure.

"What do you mean! What do you mean! I said to you, can you understand? That is, the eldest prince, he doesn't look down on our family Ruoruo at all, he takes a fancy to Nangong Jin'an's stinky girl, he only likes Nangong Jin'an's maternal grandfather's family, and his uncle who has just made great contributions. The prime minister looked impatient.

The meaning of the eldest prince is obviously to look down on Nangong Yueruo, and also look down on their Prime Minister's Mansion.

In this war-ridden dynasty, the generals are already much superior to these civil officials, and the eldest prince is ambitious, what he needs is someone who can help him conquer the world, not a maiden family like Nangong Yueruo, just a prime minister's mansion.

"That'...... What does the eldest prince mean? Why can't he marry our family Ruoruo, our Ruoruo is also one of the best talented women in the entire mausoleum. Lin Xiaoniang couldn't help but feel sorry for her daughter.

She likes the eldest prince so much, but what she gets is a sentence of contempt from the eldest prince.

"Forget it! Never mind! These are no longer important, tomorrow the king has issued an order to invite all the ladies in the palace to bring their unmarried daughters who are still in the pavilion to the imperial garden to enjoy the poems. ”

"He will also personally choose his own princess." The prime minister waved his hand and said no more.

Lin Xiaoniang also sat down on the Taishi chair next to her, and said with a hypocritical expression. "Grandpa, don't you know that Nangong Jin'an stinky girl today, she dared to openly argue with me, and even colluded with Mother Chen in our house, and actually dug a pit for me."

The prime minister looked disgusted, and his body unconsciously moved in the direction opposite Lin Xiaoniang, "These things are these things all day long, listening to others in the court, and listening to you when you come back, there is no time for quiet." ”

After the prime minister finished speaking, he shook his long sleeves and walked out, just bumping into Nangong Yueruo, who came to greet his mother.

"Father, have you retired from the court?" Nangong Yueruo twisted her little waist and said with a docile face, like an obedient and well-behaved daughter.

"Ruoruo, tell me the truth, are you not the eldest prince and not married?" The prime minister held his daughter's hand tightly, and he could see that Nangong Zhiruo was far easier to control than Nangong Jin'an.

If Nangong Yue can become the queen in the future, then she will definitely be able to help herself, but if Nangong Jin'an becomes the queen, she must only eat inside and out.

After Nangong Yueruo heard her father's words, she fell to her knees directly with a "plop".

"My father is on top, from the time I was very young when I followed my eldest mother into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager for the first time, I saw Lin Chu, the eldest prince at that time, from a distance."

"He was juju, horseback, archery, I looked at him secretly, what kind of sassy and heroic posture can make me unforgettable, I really like him very much."

"I know that as a daughter, I shouldn't have said such things, but father, my daughter really wants you to be able to fulfill me." Nangong Zhiruo pretended to be pitiful while talking, and even tears flowed down unconsciously, this is really acting to a certain extent, and even her facial features are cooperating with her.

"Ruoruo, it's not that your father is unwilling to fulfill you, it's just that the eldest prince doesn't want to be bound by anything, and he wants to choose his own concubine." The prime minister said without concealing it.

"But my father, this matter was originally a matter of the Empress Dowager, why did the eldest prince have to choose a concubine himself?" Nangong Yueruo's heart secretly thought.

Where does she want to choose the princess in person, she just wants to use the reason for choosing a wife in person as an excuse to be with Nangong Jin'an.

But the more he wanted to be with Nangong Jin'an like this, the more Nangong Yueruo wouldn't let them have any entanglement, and Ling Chu could only be her alone.

"Is this something that our courtiers can ask, I just know that tomorrow the king will have a banquet in the imperial garden, and you will go with her and your eldest sister when the time comes." After the prime minister finished speaking, he was just about to leave.

Lin Xiaoniang rushed forward directly, pulled the prime minister tightly, and said with a surprised face, "I don't know what the husband means?" At this time, Lin Xiaoniang's big flickering eyes actually had tears.

It seems that acting skills can really be inherited, and Nangong Yueruo's free-flowing acting skills are completely because of her mother's words and deeds.

"The concubine didn't know what the prime minister meant for a while, whether it was because Nangong Jin'an and her uncle returned triumphantly."

"Or even the prime minister began to compliment Nangong Jin'an's illustrious grandfather's family." Lin Xiaoniang sobbed as she spoke, like a petite person who had been wronged.

Prime Minister Nangong turned around with a look of reluctance and said softly, "How can I let that stinky girl from Nangong Jin'an appear in front of the king, but the king has decreed that all the women in the official palaces in the mausoleum city who have not left the cabinet should go." ”

"This is not only for the eldest prince Ling Chu, but also those princes who must have made the harem vacant, they are also eager to try, I think the most incompetent seventh prince should also go, if he can look at our family's Nangong Jin'an, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue in his last life." The prime minister's mouth did not have the slightest love from Nangong Jin'an. It's like what only a person with a deep hatred would say.

Although Lin Xiaoniang didn't have any expression on her face, she was already happy in her heart.

No matter what time it is, as long as Prime Minister Nangong is always willing to support Nangong Yueruo to marry the eldest prince, then their position will be stabilized one day, and they will always be the masters of Nangong Mansion.

She Lin Xiaoniang will always be the only grandmother in charge of the Nangong Mansion.

Lin Xiaoniang didn't care whether Nangong Jin'an could cover the sky with his hands and turn over the clouds and rain, but it was useless.

If Nangong Jin'an can marry the most prince in Lingcheng, it will also be a happy matter.

Prime Minister Nangong turned around and left, he really didn't want to see Lin Xiaoniang's expression for a while, after so many years of court, how could he not know what Lin Xiaoniang was thinking in his heart.

But in the heart of Prime Minister Nangong, as long as it doesn't directly threaten his interests, no matter how big it is, he won't care how crazy they are or how they make trouble.

Moreover, the current Prime Minister's Mansion has long been incompatible with the Hou Mansion because of the death of Nangong Jin'an's mother, and a civil official and a military general cannot coexist peacefully.

"Mother, do you say that the stinky girl in Nangong Jin'an will ruin our good deeds again?" Nangong Yueruo immediately looked ruthless and vicious.

"That eight characters are too hard, let's tell these to the harem girls, and they will naturally have a choice." After all, the ladies in the palace all hope that their sons can become dragons and phoenixes among people.

"Mother, you said that if we ask the king to marry our eldest sister tomorrow, will he give him the most beloved youngest son because Nangong Jin'an's uncle has just made a great contribution?" Nangong Yueruo asked.

"If our family is ruo, it is really Bing Xue who is very smart, and the king used to be the most favored to say that the biological mother of the Seven Princes, Concubine Xi, has always been fond of the Seven Princes."

"At that time, I also discussed with your father whether the Seventh Prince would become the king of the next generation, but it's a pity that such a man is crazy." Lin Xiaoniang looked pity.

Once upon a time, Lin Xiaoniang had seen Ling Changwu from afar, and she could still clearly remember his handsome face and determination to kill.

It's just a pity that the proud son of the sky can't stand the slightest grievance and blow, and he also went crazy after the death of his biological mother, otherwise he wouldn't have been pestering the eldest prince and unwilling to let go.

"Mother, let's not talk about this in the future, to prevent the wall from having ears and being made a big fuss by those who have ideas." Nangong Yueruo's mind is delicate, step by step.

Chen's mother dragged her tired body and walked in the depths of the courtyard.

Naturally, this is not as good as the yard of being a housewife, but Chen's mother can enjoy the joy of family here, and she is also happy.

"Mother!" Chen's mother's son had already been sent by Nangong Jin'an to enter this mansion and become the family member of this courtyard.

Their home was also arranged by Nangong Jin'an in a dilapidated thatched house in the depths of the courtyard, although it was dilapidated, but at least it was much better than the house outside them.

"Son, when did you come here? Did the eldest lady embarrass you? "The first thing that came to Chen's mind was such an important question.

After all, the former self and Nangong Jin'an were not relatives, but enemies.

"Mother, Miss Nangong didn't embarrass us, she is a very good person."
