Su Qin moved to sit in front of the bronze mirror to comb, changed into a gorgeous gilt headdress, and lightly put on some rouge gouache from the Biliang makeup shop. Lin Ying casually flipped through the portraits of women one after another, only to feel that the painting skills were clumsy, and the woman was embarrassed, so she looked up and said to Su Qin: "Mother, you are going to see Aunt Yan and them, they are all old acquaintances, why do you have to dress up so grandly?" Come with me! ”

Su Qin put down her eyebrows, turned her head to Lin Ying and said, "I'll go see them, you stay here and choose your crown princess and concubine." Haven't you already met with them? The prince of Chu State, how could it be that some ordinary people say they will see it? ”

"Queen Chen is my cousin, and she is also a commoner?"

"If King Chen can keep the Chen Kingdom, why should he let their mother and daughter take refuge in our Chu Kingdom? Her son is dead, she is not young, I am afraid that she will not be able to give birth again, how is such a cousin different from the common people? ”

Lin Ying said unhappily: "Mother, have you forgotten that your cousin helped me sell a lot of Biliang cosmetics in the name of the queen and with her own strength when she was in Chen Guo?" Have you forgotten how Aunt Yan and Uncle Zhao Qi, Su Yang, Su Liu, Yan Qing, Yan Xiu and those shopkeepers worked hard day and night to help us earn money that we can't spend in this life and the next? ”

Su Qin got up and said coldly: "This time, that time." Those money, those affections, when our mother and son lived in Chen Kingdom, it was a charcoal in the snow, and you brought them into Zhaohuang Palace to live temporarily, which can be regarded as repaying your kindness. Now that you are the crown prince of the Chu State, with a small fortune and a few commoners, for you, it is not even the icing on the cake. The people who are useful to you now are those famous ladies and ladies of the family who were recommended to you by the three princes and nine kings. You can weigh it yourself. ”

Lin Ying threw down the portrait and stood up, walked out of the hall with her mother in her arms, and said as she walked: "Mother, my son knows that you are for the good of your son, but there is no need to say it so ruthlessly, right?" When I was in the Chen Kingdom, they watched me grow up, so I can't just put on the prince's shelf when they first come to the Chu State, right? Even Shu'er and Xiao Dongfang accompanied them to chat! ”

Su Qin waved her sleeves and dusted off Lin Ying's hand. "Xiaoying, do you want to accompany Shu'er? The group of them entered the palace, and Shu'er's mother is now the lord of the six palaces, so naturally she will go to say a few words. Aren't you going to ask me to kiss you? Do you want me to drag Shu'er's mother in front of you and Shu'er and say goodbye to the two of you? Not to mention that Shu'er has never had you in her eyes over the years, even if she gradually secretly belongs to you after returning to Chu State, your affairs still have to be approved by Shu'er's parents first. After all, her status is now precious, and she is no longer what it used to be. ”

Lin Ying smiled: "Mother, Shu'er's parents have long taken a fancy to their son. This matter of intimacy and intimacy, they were happy when they were in Yuling. Today, my mother finally agreed to let me marry Shu'er, did she finally believe that the person who murdered my father was not Shu'er's father? ”

Su Qin pushed Lin Ying away: "They were willing before, but they may be willing now." It's been a long time since I've spoken to Shu'er's mother, so I'm taking this opportunity today to talk to her. Don't make trouble, it's never too late for dinner. ”

Su Qin stepped out of the dormitory, glanced back at Lin Ying, and said calmly: "You remember, whether you marry Shu'er or not, the famous ladies that your mother selected for you are your help." Under the Seven Kings, there is also the intertwined Chu Yue family. In the future, if you want to take power alone, you must first take these people under your command.

You don't have Dongfang Yu's decision to kill, and you can't afford the danger after the killing. And although Dongfang Yu married Shu'er's mother, he himself was not a descendant of the Lin family after all, and he ascended the throne in a hurry, so he could only use his iron and bloody skills. But you are different from him. You are the rightful prince of the Chu State.

Don't go toe-to-toe with these people. Your father said that the power of softness can also break gold. He delayed the unification of the Chu State because he wanted to fight steadily and step by step. If you want to take power, don't rush it.

Xiaoying, my mother is gone. ”

Lin Ying stood in place and said, "Well, I have been delayed outside for a long time today, and there is still a manuscript that has not been transcribed." Your Highness will discuss the plan tomorrow, after all, I have participated in the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce, and I need to sort out what I saw and heard in Zhao State back then. I'll come back to you at dinner. ”

******

Su Qin stepped into the Xinlan Hall where Shu'er lived, and saw Yan Xiao, Lin Huan, Li Su, Yan Qing and Yan Xiu selecting fabrics, jewelry and daily utensils with Shu'er and Lin Long. Presumably, Zhao Qi, Su Yang, Su Liu and the accompanying shopkeepers went to another place with Dongfang to settle down.

Su Qin walked up to Lin Long and saluted, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time." Then he saluted Lin Huan again.

Since the death of King Chumu, although Lin Long and Su Qin have lived in Zhaohuang Palace, Su Qin has been mourning for her husband and living in a simple house, Lin Long is unwilling to bother more, and he has indeed not seen Su Qin for half a year. Lin Long also saluted, stepped forward to hold Su Qin's hand, and said with concern: "How is my sister-in-law lately?" ”

Su Qin nodded slightly, squeezing out the smile of the past: "I'm fine." I heard that there was a fight outside the palace today, is he okay? ”

Lin Long saw that Su Qin had lost a lot of weight, so he hurriedly pulled her and Yan Xiao to sit aside, and replied with a smile: "He is used to being naughty, it's not a big deal, sister-in-law doesn't have to worry." I heard that the gang of masters threatened to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince, and Xiao Yingke was injured? ”

Shu'er saw that Su Qin was finally able to talk to her mother in a pleasant way, so she hurriedly served three cups of tea in person and put them on her mother's side, Aunt Su and Aunt Yan. Su Qin smiled at Shu'er: "Thanks to Shu'er and Shou'er's protection, Xiao Ying was not injured." ”

Shu'er waved his hand and said: "Xiao Ying has always been smart, even if there is no one with our sister and brother, he will be fine." But he didn't want to say more, in fact, that group of people came to assassinate Dongfang Xuan, so he changed the conversation and said with a smile: "It's rare to see the three of you sitting together." In Shu'er's heart, my mother, aunt, and Aunt Yan all have the grace of nurturing me. The three of you are Shu'er's 'mother'! He said to Su Qin again: "However, I still used to call my aunt 'Aunt Su', after all, when I was in Chen Guo, I was called for so many years." ”

Su Qin patted Shu'er's hand and said gently: "Shu'er, that day you came to Xiyu Palace to take Xiaoying out of the palace to avoid the limelight for a while, it was a good intention, but you were treated badly by your black-hearted Aunt Su. For the sake of us living together in Chen Guo for so many years, don't blame Aunt Su, okay? ”

Shu'er scratched her head and said, "Why don't I remember this incident?" ”

Although Yan Xiao didn't know what had happened, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw Shu'er like that.

Su Qin and Yan Xiao looked at each other and smiled, and said to Shu'er: "You go and choose things with them, your three 'mothers', you have to talk well." ”

Yan Xiao saw the delicate relationship between Su Qin and Lin Long, the two queens of Chu, and thought that the two of them could "not see each other for a long time" in Zhaohuang Palace, they must have something to say and a knot to unravel, so they stood up and wanted to accompany Shu'er to accompany the other people in the palace.

Su Qin didn't smile, only sighed softly: "It would be great if Song Yun also came with you." ”

Yan smiled: "Maung City burned down, I heard that few people in the city escaped. Song Yun ...... Probably more than lucky. Although she left early, but in comparison, she was ...... than us" I wanted to say "four sisters", but finally hid the matter of Xiao Yi, the princess of Qi Kingdom, and continued, "When she was alive, she lived more steadily than the two of us. Then he turned and walked to the other side of the Xinlan Palace.

Su Qin glanced at Shu'er, who was talking to Li Su in the distance, and whispered to Lin Long: "Good sister, a few days ago, it was I who spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so I kept avoiding you. Xiao Ying persuaded and persuaded again, but I was so sad that my mind was confused, so I mistakenly thought that the death of the first king was related to you. ”

Lin Long shook his head and said, "Human nature, why should my sister-in-law blame herself?" Even I had doubted the East, and naturally I never blamed my sister-in-law. Now everything is just a stopgap measure. Dongfang said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince answered fluently at the court meeting, and he was really a pillar of talent. In a few years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will consolidate his foundation and complete a few good errands, and he will be able to become the prince who is popular with the people. At that time, no one could shake the position of the prince of the Lin family, and the east would cede the throne of the king of Chu to the prince. The two of us will leave Zhaohuang Palace with Shu'er and Shu'er, go to Yuling to live a quiet life, and never return to Linjiang. ”

Su Qin held Lin Long's hand and said, "Sister, I know that you love Xiao Ying, but I know Xiao Ying's temperament." He is not enterprising, he is used to being idle, and he is not the material for sitting on the dragon chair at all. He also complained to me from time to time, saying that the position of the prince was too difficult for a strong man. Just now, he also said to me that he is both civil and military, brave and strategic, and he is really more suitable than him to be the prince of Chu. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Good sister, didn't you ask me when you were in Yuling, did you think that Xiaoying and Shu'er could be a good match......

Lin Long glanced at his daughter from afar, sighed, and said, "I was abrupt at that time. After all, she ...... forgive."

Su Qin took Lin Long's hand and stood up, and said apologetically: "No, I was shallow at that time. I came today to talk about this family affair for my Xiaoying. ”

Lin Long also stood up and looked at Su Qin, who suddenly changed his hexagram, noncommittally. Although she knew that Lin Ying was sincere to her daughter and should be a good destination for her daughter, she no longer mentioned this matter when King Chu Mu had an accident.

Su Qin explained in a low voice: "Sister, in the future, your son will become the prince of Chu, I just want Xiaoying to live in peace, after all, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers." If Xiao Ying can marry Shu'er as his wife, this is the only way for him to save his life. Moreover, I watched him grow up with Shu'er, and I was really touched by his heart for Shu'er.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't the people of Chu believe that on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the immortals under the moon will play in the lower realm and lead the marriage line for ordinary children? I heard that not far from the south gate of Zhaohuang Palace, there is a moonlight immortal temple, where it can be counted as a marriage hexagram, and it is the most accurate on this day. Two children...... Why don't we go and help them do the math first?

If it is a good fate, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tomorrow, I will propose to Xiaoying in public. What does my sister think? ”

Lin Long was puzzled: "Why did sister-in-law suddenly think so much?" Our husband and wife promise you that you will not be the crown prince. Even if we don't kiss and kiss, we will never hurt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the slightest. ”

Su Qin replied, "Sister, I don't want to think about it so much!" Aside from the matter of the prince, the children are indeed not small. Those princes and ministers handed me the portraits of their daughters all day long, and I showed them to Xiao Ying, but he didn't like any of them, so if he had to marry Shu'er early, what could I do?

However, I always believe that marriage is predestined, and it is not something that we parents can do by thinking about our children. I don't want to miss Xiaoying, sister, you don't want to miss Shu'er, right? I still want to take advantage of today's day to go to the shrine and calculate first. If the two children are fated, it is a good thing that should be done early, if not, I will also tell Xiaoying as soon as possible, let him stop clinginging, so that he can take a serious look at the portraits of everyone's ladies.

At this time, it was still early, and the Immortal Temple under the moon was not far away, so I walked back and ate more for dinner. ”

Lin Long said with a smile: "Actually, the Immortal Temple under the moon is indeed effective. When I was a child, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I slipped out of the palace with Dongfang and ran there to hurriedly calculate a lot. So he pulled Su Qin and walked out the door.

Shu'er asked, "Where are you going?" I'll go with you. ”

Su Qin turned around and said, "Your mother said that the sign of the Immortal Temple under the Moon is very effective, let's go to the temple to ask for a sign for Xiao Ying." ”

Shu'er followed curiously, pulled one of Lin Long's sleeves and said, "Is there such a place?" Then I also have to ask for a lottery and ask about my marriage with King Qi. ”

Lin Long glared at Shu'er and said, "You stay here to help your Aunt Yan settle them well, and we'll go back as soon as we go." ”

Shu'er knew that her mother didn't agree with her being with Liu Ying, so she had to give up, thinking, one day I will go by myself, so I stayed in the Xinlan Palace.

******

On that day, the Immortal Temple under the Moon was originally crowded with young girls who came here to ask for signatures for themselves and women who asked for signatures for their children. When the queen and queen stepped into the ancestral hall side by side, the maidens and women had been invited out by the maids and guards who had left the palace with the two queens.

In the quiet ancestral hall, Lin Long looked around, saw that everything was like yesterday, and couldn't help sighing: "Why do you want to blast those people out?" The sign here is really accurate. ”

Su Qin asked, "What kind of signature did my sister get here?" ”

Lin Long said: "My signature is-

Duckweed farewells and phoenixes gather,

There is no doubt about the east, west, north and south.

Don't be suspicious of Lang Jun mortals,

The hidden dragon is like a pond fish in the water. ”

Su Qin said again: "Dare to ask His Highness what was the signature he got here back then?" ”

Lin Long said: "The signature of the East is-

How did the immortal monarch come to sit in the mortal world,

Annoying Heavenly Soldiers to find in the Nether.

Red dust into the eyes as if there is nothing,

The bright moon only examines one person's heart. ”

Su Qin clapped his hands and said, "This signature is really accurate." ”

The two walked towards the old man who was sitting quietly in the corner of the ancestral hall. The old man was wrinkled, his white hair was thinning, and it was difficult to distinguish between men and women.

Su Qin saluted the old man and said, "Old immortal, today we are here to ask for a marriage for our children, and we hope that the old immortal will give you advice." ”

The old man looked up at Su Qin, and his tone was detached: "Lady, you are not here to ask for a signature for your children. ”

Lin Long smiled and asked, "Old immortal, do you think I'm here to ask for a signature for my children?" ”

The old man sighed: "Lady, the sign you want to ask for, you have already read it out, it is better to leave quickly." ”
