"Side room?"

Li Lin looked at Yuan Shu in a daze.

She reacted for a long time, "It can't be, I haven't heard anything." ”

"Will this kind of thing be notified to you in advance? When the time comes, a holy decree will come down, and it will be marriage directly! Yuanshu reminded her of the seriousness of the matter.

Who to marry is not a matter of the emperor's words.

Li Lin never thought that his fate was only in one sentence.

Originally, she felt that although her marriage was tortuous, and she didn't know who she would go with in the long run, at least her freedom was in her own hands.

Now Yuan Shu's words are like pouring a basin of cold water on him.

"You are lying to me, you know that the emperor loves Zhao Zhen, how can you let me marry him?"

"Why should I lie to you about such a thing? This is what the imperial grandfather told me personally. Yuan Shu said.

Li Lin thought about it for a long time, Daoist Lan said about his future husband, and after his own verification at that time, he would indeed marry Zhao Zhen, but after thinking about it, he always felt that something was wrong.

Li Lin was a little tired for a moment.

Don't...... That's the fate......

Thinking about what happened after returning to the capital, Li Lin suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion.

"Actually, it's not bad to marry Zhao Zhen." She was a little lost.

Yuanshu pressed her shoulder, "Sister? Are you serious? ”

He couldn't believe that this sentence came from the mouth of Sister Li Lin, who had always been strong.

"That's a side room!"

"What about the side room, it's just a title, it doesn't make a difference to me."

"No!"

Yuanshu corrected her: "The difference is too big!" The difference between the main room and the side room is everywhere in life! Do you know how much you will be wronged when you are in the side room? ”

In Yuanshu's heart, Li Lin is excellent and unique, and such a woman going to be a side room is simply a tyrannical thing.

Although Li Lin did not understand the difference between the main room and the side room in detail, he also knew in his heart that the status of the side room was not that of a concubine......

In the first half of her life, she fought on the battlefield, but in the second half of her life, she lived like this, Yuanshu's eyes suddenly turned a little red, and she took a deep breath.

"Forget it, maybe this is my fate."

"Nope."

Yuan Shu hugged her.

"Sister, you can choose! You can choose my ......"

"You said it, marriage is just a matter of the emperor's words, what qualifications do I have to choose?" Li Lin smiled faintly.

Yuanshu's face showed stubbornness: "You can choose, I like you, as long as you choose me, I have a way to make Grandpa Huang change his mind!" ”

Li Lin pushed him away and looked at his face. "Thank you for helping me so much."

However, if she had to choose one between Zhao Zhen and Yuan Shu, she would most likely choose Zhao Zhen.

Yuan Shu looked at her eyes and already understood the answer, "Are you willing to give Zhao Zhen a test rather than be with me?" ”

Yuanshu didn't expect her position in her heart to be so light, and she had a sulk in her chest for a while.

"I never think I'm worse than Zhao Zhen, at least I won't be nostalgic for the fireworks venue all day long, I won't see strange thoughts and wander among women!"

Li Lin said calmly, "I know, I admire you, you are indeed much better than your uncle." ”

"Then how do you ......?"

Li Lin smiled slightly: "You are good at everything, but it's a pity that you are too young to know if the decision you made is out of reason." ”

Li Lin looked at the people passing by and calmed down his messy mood.

"Actually, after I came back from the border pass, the first person I admired was you, I can see all your temperament, you are stronger than all your uncles."

Yuan Shu listened to these words and looked at Li Lin in front of him, "Sister......"

He was actually a little moved.

But Li Lin still said: "If you get married, I will still choose your uncle." ”

"Why!" Yuan Shu was puzzled.

"It's because I understand your excellence that I can't be with you." Li Lin said.

"If you are a friend, your motivation and your bravery will make me feel different, and let me know how rare you are in this beautiful Beijing master...... Many advantages can only be revealed by distance.

But once I marry you, leaving aside the age gap between us, all the good things will be gone in the end, we will break all the good feelings for each other, and in the end we may not even be able to be friends, can you understand when I say this? ”

"Can't!"

"The decisions you make now are impulsive and immature, maybe you will change your mind after 10 days and half a month, you can be crazy alone, but I can't follow you crazy." Li Lin said.

"Sister, you're thinking too much." Yuan Shu didn't expect him to be able to tell such a big truth.

He didn't agree with these words, and he couldn't accept them.

Isn't it just to be with someone to like someone? What distance do you have to keep at your distance?

In that case, it will only be a stranger, and in the end, heaven and man will be separated forever.

If you can't be together, everything good is fake.

Yuanshu knew that what she always cared about was that she was too young.

"Sister Lin, I will be good to you, even if you don't believe that I can live for a lifetime, at least I won't let you be wronged!"

As he spoke, he was about to step forward again and hug Li Lin again.

?

Li Lin grabbed his wrist

?

"Don't make a fuss, go back quickly."

Yuan Shu was indignant, "Do you think I'm making trouble unreasonably? ”

The strength in his hand suddenly increased, and he hugged Li Lin with his long arms, "Sister Lin, you just can't pass your own level." ”

Li Lin didn't expect his strength to suddenly become so great, and he broke free with all his might, "Are you crazy?" It's on the street! ”

Yuan Shu didn't care at all: "I've made up my mind to be with you, do you think others can control me?" ”

Li Lin reprimanded, "Let me go first, and if it goes on like this, it's hard for me not to hate you." ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he hesitated for a moment before slowly letting go of his hand.

He looked at Li Lin, and the strength just now dissipated somewhat.

"Did I give you the illusion of child's play? I'm serious, you can hesitate. He said.

?

"What ...... hesitate about"

Li Lin didn't know why he couldn't turn this corner?

Yuanshu is like being pulled by a cow, the kind that doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back.

Li Lin knew that tough resistance had little effect, so he simply analyzed it with him.

"It's not just me, have you ever thought that maybe everyone won't agree with us."

?

?“ There is no need to think about it at all. Yuanshu said conceitedly.

"Who do they have to disagree?"

Li Lin asked him indifferently: "Look at how old you are this year?" Don't say that we are not together now, even if we are really together one day, others will not think that we have much affection, they will only think that I misled you and confused you. ”

?“ What the hell do they do? In this world, there is nothing that outsiders can't find fault, just let them say, as long as we are compatible! "Yuanshu has never cared about these things.

?“ Where do we match? Li Lin asked Yuanshu.

Yuan Shu said stubbornly: "Match anywhere!" ”

"You ......"

Li Lin found that there was no way to reason with him.

I was angry and helpless in my heart, and finally sighed and said:

"Forget it, you go back to sleep and wake up."

"What are you...... Rejected me? Yuan Shu asked Li Lin.

"Yes, refuse." Li Lin said without scruples.

Yuan Shu stared at Li Lin directly, the emotion on his face had disappeared, and it was replaced by a sudden calm.

"I know exactly what I'm doing, and it's not a joke."

As he spoke, his hand gently pulled Li Lin, and as soon as he touched Li Lin's fingers, Li Lin dodged his hand.

The atmosphere is awkward.

Not far away, Zhao Zhen appeared.

?

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Zhen saw the two of them standing at the door like this from a distance, as if they were arguing about something, and there was a big question mark in his heart.

?

Li Lin hurriedly took a step back.

"You're just in time, bring Yuanshu back by the way, it's not early now."

Zhao Zhen looked at the expression on Yuanshu's face and quipped, "What's wrong with you?" It doesn't look like a happy one! ”

Yuan Shu didn't say anything, today's confession became like this, and his heart was very angry.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Yuan Shu asked Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen had a look of joy on his face, "I just went to visit Daoist Lan, and I just came back and happened to be passing by here." ”

"You're going to visit Randao?" Yuan Shu was instantly lifted to the spirit.

"You haven't always disliked him, why did you suddenly take the initiative to visit?" Yuan Shu asked Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly turned his head to look behind him, then turned his head and said cautiously with a sense of mystery: "Tell you a secret!" ”

Li Lin looked at him: "Just say something." ”

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows, "Don't be so calm, the secret I want to tell is also related to you." ”

"Oh?"

Li Lin was curious.

Zhao Zhen covered half of his face with a fan and said in a very soft voice.

"A few days ago, my father almost ordered the two of us to get married!"

Li Lin's eyes widened, and Yuan Shu beside him also turned his head to look at his uncle.

The two of them stared at Zhao Zhen directly, Zhao Zhen thought that he would hear something screaming, but he didn't expect the two of them to be so calm, and they were also unexpected.

He asked Li Lin, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what?" Li Lin asked.

Zhao Zhen suddenly felt very bored, and fanned himself indiscriminately with a fan.

“…… Forget it, it's really boring to talk to you about this. ”

Yuanshu didn't know if he was deliberately giving him face, "Uncle, how did you know about this matter?" ”

"Of course I was told by the Landausters!"

Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "At that time, the emperor almost sent down the holy decree, but fortunately, Daoist Lan arrived in time and told him a great truth. ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head as he spoke.

"It's dangerous...... Good ......"

Li Lin asked him, "What about the end?" ”

Zhao Zhen replied: "It may be canceled, or it may just be postponed for a few days, after all, no one can guess the emperor's thoughts." ”

Yuan Shu couldn't help but say to his uncle: "Grandpa Huang has always respected Daoist Lan, and he should be able to dispel his thoughts. ”

"That's not for sure."

Zhao Zhen still knows his father very well, and often thinks about it one by one, but he can't grasp his rules at all.

Li Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, I don't have to worry about marrying you for the time being......"

Yuan Shu couldn't say whether he was happy or uncomfortable in his heart, if the imperial grandfather really dismissed the marriage between Zhao Zhen and Li Lin, he would not be able to put pressure on Li Lin's sister.

In a way, this is not a good thing for me.

Zhao Zhen reminded Li Lin: "You'd better pray a lot that this matter doesn't rekindle, otherwise I will lose a lot." ”

?“ What do you have to lose......" Li Lin couldn't help but say to him.

"Of course you don't understand, I'm a delicate man, and if I marry a woman like you, I'm really a little aggrieved."

His expression was so serious that it was impossible to guess whether he was joking or telling the truth.

But Li Lin was secretly happy in his heart.

It turned out that he was just a false alarm......

She looked at the sky around her.

"Let's go back! Both of you. ”

Yuan Shu lowered his head slightly and bit his lip.

Zhao Zhen looked at his nephew beside him, "Let's go." ”

I thought that Yuanshu would be stubborn and disobedient, but I didn't expect to walk obediently behind my uncle this time.

After walking three or five steps, Yuan Shu looked back at Li Lin, Zhao Zhen was still at the door, and he was a little uncomfortable when he saw him looking back, but he still pretended to be cheerful and generous and waved at him.

Zhao Zhen walked in front of Yuanshu, and when he walked to the corner of the gate, he suddenly asked his nephew in a low voice:

"What were you talking about?"

"It's fine."

"Nothing? I don't look like I'm fine. Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed a little badly.

"I saw you hugging her from afar...... When did it become so bold? ”

"Don't ask, I'm too lazy to tell you about my own business." Yuanshu strode forward and ignored his uncle.

Zhao Zhen shook his head and looked at his back.

"See how stubborn you are?"

As soon as Li Lin walked back to the room, Li Qi suddenly came here to visit.

"Li Lin......"

When Li Lin saw his brother coming suddenly, he had expectations in his heart.

"Brother! How did you get here? ”

Li Qi was very tired and panting.

"Quick...... Come back with me, there's something. ”

"What's the matter?" Li Lin asked curiously.

Li Qi's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Grandpa...... He's dying. ”

"Huh?"

Li Lin was startled, remembering that he had only met his grandfather Zheng Guogong a few days ago, although his expression was not very pleasant at that time, but his spirit was not bad, how could he not work so soon......

Li Qi's eyes were full of anxiety.

Li Lin didn't want to ask much, and said anxiously: "Then let's go back quickly." ”

He finally understood why his brother came to him in person this time, and according to the usual practice, he just sent a family member over.

It can be seen that something big happened in the house.

Li Lin followed Li Qi all the way back to Zheng Guogong's mansion.

Li Lin was very worried in his heart, and he kept thinking about what happened to his grandfather.

But when he came to his grandfather's room, he found that everything was furnished as usual, and several servants stood respectfully aside.

Li Lin cautiously looked at his grandfather Zheng Guogong, who did not lie on the bed, but sat on the chair.

His old hand was on the table, his expression was a little lonely and pale, and he looked a little older.

"Grandpa......"

Li Lin called out cautiously.

"Are you all here?" Zheng Guogong asked suddenly.

At this time, the rest of the family also entered the room one after another.

Li Lin's father, mother, uncle, and aunt all looked a little flat, and there was no sadness or joy on their faces.

Zheng Guogong's eyes wandered over his family's bodies one by one, and finally sighed heavily, and said in a weak voice:

"Descendants, our family is about to decline...... There is no way to regain the status of the former ......"
