Chapter 69: Choosing with Relatives
With his maids and rings hurriedly returned to Liuxin Courtyard, Lin Zhongyu, who rushed to hear the news, saw Lin Mengya who was secretly sulking as soon as he entered the door.
"This prince is simply not like words! Sister, don't be angry. ”
Lin Mengya was molested, and it was not only herself who was angry.
"Am I angry? No, I'm just thinking about how to pay homage to him. ”
Since her previous life, what Lin Mengya hates the most is this kind of self-righteous man.
I remember when I was just in college, there was a boy who thought there were two stinky money in the family, so he molested her.
She remembered that in the end, she stole the human skeleton and stuffed it into the boy's bed, and finally scared him half to death.
Now, the prince dares to tease her, and he really thinks it's a long time.
"Princess Qiqi, there is a word from the prince, saying that the prince is going to have a meal in the palace, please prepare the princess."
Outside, the voice of the steward came in, Lin Mengya nodded, and Bai Zhi went out to reply.
actually came down to eat, and a strange smile slipped out of the corner of Lin Mengya's mouth. She will definitely make the prince unforgettable this meal for the rest of her life!
In the small courtyard of the palace, the prince frowned and looked at his aunt with a sad face.
The house was tidy, but it was so shabby that it didn't even have a decent piece of furniture.
Even the teacups used for him were the simplest coarse porcelain teacups, and they were made of bitter teas that were unbearable.
My aunt and cousin were all wearing simple clothes, and compared with Lin Mengya's silk and satin, they were like flowers on the street.
When he was a child, the queen mother was busy fighting with the concubines in the harem, so the aunt who often went into the palace to accompany him took the place of the mother.
When he came to Yuwang's Mansion, he specially inquired about his aunt's current situation.
But I didn't expect it to be so bleak. That Lin Mengya, it's really too much.
"Cousin Prince, look at it, Lin Mengya actually bullied me and my mother so much, you have to be the master for us."
Lin Mengwu cried and cried and made up some nonsense out of nothing, but she didn't mention it at all, she was stuck in someone else's house, and she was still worried about other people's affairs.
"Wu'er, don't talk nonsense. Your cousin is going to do big things, how can he meddle in the affairs of the inner house? ”
Shangguan Qing really loves the prince, she only has one daughter. The only son of the Lin Mansion was born by that slut.
I have to fight against her every time, let alone get close.
Now that her nephew is here, she naturally wants to be the master of her. Look at that little slut, how long can you be proud!
"Wu'er is right, since I'm here, I won't watch my aunt being bullied like this. However, in the end, Lin Mengya is the host, and we are all guests. There are some things that I can't interfere in. I'm here today to discuss something with my aunt. ”
Putting away his dissatisfaction, the prince suddenly remembered what was going on.
Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu glanced at each other, but they didn't understand what the prince would do to discuss with them.
"In three months, Cousin Wu will be sixteen."
habitually picked up the teacup, but after seeing the turbid black soup, he put it on the table in disgust.
Shangguan Qing's heart gradually rose with a sense of unease. Only Lin Mengwu felt a little shy, and she had a pretty face.
"Soon, the king of the Western Domain will come to Kyoto to worship. At that time, his prince and princess will also come to the capital with him. The prince of the Western Domain, a young and talented man, means that the queen mother wants to find a good marriage for his cousin. ”
"What?!"
Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu exclaimed in unison, their eyes looking at the prince in disbelief.
"There are so many princesses of the right age in the palace, even if there are none, there are many county lords of those princes' families, no matter how you say it, it is not the turn of Wu'er to make peace!"
Shangguan Qing's words were sharp, but after coming into contact with the prince's slightly dissatisfied eyes, he was immediately shocked that something was wrong with him.
Turning to his tone, he softened as well.
"What my aunt means is that I only have one daughter like Wu'er, if I really go to kiss, then aunt and I, won't I miss it very much?"
Lin Mengwu was shocked and angry, but she didn't dare to object, and her little face was about to cry.
If you want her to go and kiss, the Western Domain is a wild place. I heard that there are still tribes who drink blood, if she is allowed to go, won't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and there will be no day to turn over?
"That's right, the queen mother is just a proposal. This matter also depends on the meaning of the prince of the Western Domain. At that time, the princesses in the palace and the princes and county lords will come to the banquet, and it is unknown who the prince will choose. ”
Although he said that, the queen mother had already sent Lin Mengwu's portrait over.
Although the Western Domain is a fanbang, all the people are soldiers, from the milk baby to the white-haired old man, they can go into battle to kill the enemy.
and proximity, but also for his future road to the throne more smoothly.
If Lin Mengwu can become the princess of the Western Domain, and then become the queen, it will be a great help for herself.
It's just that these things, where can I talk about a deep woman like my aunt.
Shangguan Qing saw the prince's eyes flickering, and he still understood seven or eight points in his heart.
In my heart, I couldn't help but feel resentment towards my sister.
Back then, it was she who first fell in love with Lin Muzhi, who was born in a family of military generals. But my sister lobbied her father to marry a sick son by herself, just to be able to fulfill her posteriority!
If it weren't for the fact that she had eyes and let that sick seedling die first, I'm afraid she would be a widow who is alone in the boudoir now.
But if it weren't for my sister being too selfish, Muzhi wouldn't have picked up that little slut on the battlefield, and even more defied public opinion and married that slut as his wife.
Wu'er is her life*, and it is impossible to ruin her happiness for her sister's ambition!
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."
Pulling her daughter's sleeve, Shangguan Qing gave Lin Mengwu a reassuring look.
His face returned to normal, but his heart gradually formed a vicious idea.
Her daughter is absolutely not allowed to go to the Western Domain. It's just that she needs to make good use of this opportunity.
"Don't worry, if Wu'er insists on refusing to marry. The queen mother and I will not embarrass her, after all, Wu'er is my cousin, different from ordinary women. ”
said perfunctory words against his will, but the prince looked at Lin Mengwu.
Although she does not have Lin Mengya's stunning posture, she is also pretty and glamorous, a beauty with one top.
Presumably, the barbarian prince who has never seen a woman from the Central Plains will definitely fall in love at first sight.
When the time comes, I can't help but say whether she will marry or not!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Mrs. Lin, Second Miss Lin, dinner is ready, and the princess has specially ordered the slaves and maids to come and invite the three of them to the table."
Outside the small courtyard, the delicate and gentle Bai Qi conveyed Lin Mengya's words in a regular manner.
Suddenly, the three of them no longer discussed the matter of harmony.
The prince tidied up his appearance and took the lead out of the small courtyard, Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu came out one after another.
The three of them, with their respective servants, came to the main hall where the guests were entertained.
I saw that Long Tianyu and Long Qinghan were both sitting in the lower position, and only Concubine De was seated, and the main seat was still empty.
The prince naturally sat on the main seat, Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu also sat in the guest seat, and the only thing missing was Lin Mengya, the hostess.
"I've seen Concubine De Niangniang, but I don't know if Niangniang is here, but she can live in the habit?"
pretended to be kind, gossiping with Concubine De, but in my heart, I hated this woman who had been fighting with her mother for half her life.
It's not enough to get the exclusive favor of his father, but the son he gave birth to is so important to his father, not only the queen mother, but even he is very disgusted with Concubine De.
"Prince Lao misses, the palace is here, everything is fine."
Although it was perfunctory, Concubine De did not show the slightest emotion.
has always been noble and elegant, as in the palace, without the slightest lonely look of being driven out.
"That's good, the queen mother is in the palace, but I really miss my mother."
The prince's eyes flashed with cold light, but he was taken in by Long Tianyu.
"Please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince, and hurriedly take over, I really don't know what dishes His Highness likes, so I have to make more painstaking efforts, and please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to laugh at the simple and shabby."
Lin Mengya came in a hurry, wearing a water-green gauze skirt, which made people more and more likable.
The coldness on the little face faded, and the lively smile added a lot of brilliance.
There is no maturity of a young woman at all, but they are all girlish and sweet, and they compare Lin Mengwu to Lin Mengwu.
The prince and Long Qinghan's eyes involuntarily revolved around her.
But she smiled and sat next to Long Tianyu.
"Lord, if I don't do well, you have to intercede with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on my behalf."
The coquettish tone made Long Tianyu's brows jump.
turned his head sideways, and saw a pair of shining eyes, in the end, what is this girl planning?
In the blink of an eye, the dishes like flowing water were served on the table in front of everyone.
Although it is a family banquet, the dishes on the desk are all arranged according to the standard. By the prince's side, there were naturally little eunuchs who tried the dishes, and after tasting a little bit of everything, they arranged for someone to serve the prince vegetables.
"This dish is crystal clear, Prince Ben has never eaten it before, I don't know how delicious it is?"
In the prince's plate, there is a golden object, which is crispy on the outside and sweet and glutinous on the inside, but it is very fresh.
"The name of this dish is called Sweet Potato, which is just a very common country dish, and the prince can eat it casually."
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and hid the smile in her sight.
In addition to pulling sweet potatoes, there are also dishes made of radish, apples, and potatoes on the prince's table, although they look inconspicuous, they are all delicate and delicious.
Seeing that the prince drank the wine she had carefully concocted again, Lin Mengya suddenly covered her lips elegantly and covered the smile that was about to blurt out.
The sound of 'poof', a strange sound that came from nowhere, instantly attracted everyone's attention.
