Chapter 4: The Marriage Remains Alive
After Lin Qingwan walked into the imperial study, the door was closed from the outside, she looked around, there was no one inside, and she once wondered if the emperor was not here.
Just as she was hesitating, a person walked out of the warm pavilion next to her and watched her walk to the imperial desk and sit down.
This man has a golden crown and tied hair, about forty years old, serious and majestic, and the most eye-catching thing is his eyes, which are cold-blooded and gloomy. This person is the current emperor, Xiao Yunrui.
Lin Qingwan looked at him stunned, the emperor of this dynasty was not the same as she knew, the clothes were not bright dragon robes, but black dark lines embedded with gold threads, and an invisible sense of depression came to her face.
This made Lin Qingwan's first impression of the emperor very bad.
"Lin Qingwan, you are so bold! When you see me, why don't you kneel! Xiao Yunrui slapped the table and said angrily.
Lin Qingwan calmly made a big salute, "Courtier Lin Qingwan, knock to see the emperor!" The courtiers suffered a great disaster a few days ago, and the emperor sent the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose and treat the courtiers. The courtiers are here, thank the emperor for his grace! β
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yunrui's face softened, and at the same time, he was also amazed that she was so calm in the face of Tianwei's anger, "Then why didn't you kneel when you saw me just now?" β
Lin Qingwan sneered, how can the higher the status, the smaller the heart's eyes?
"Back to the emperor, because the courtiers had amnesia before, they didn't dare to bow down rashly before confirming their identity."
Xiao Yunrui glanced at her and said with a smile, "You kid is cautious!" Just like your father! β
Lin Qingwan lowered his head and did not answer.
"Don't kneel, it's cold on the ground, get up!" Xiao Yunrui raised his hand.
"Your Majesty."
No matter how Xiao Yunrui looks at it, he feels that she is different from before. But the spies in the palace reported that from the coffin to the funeral, she was in full view of everyone, never stopped, and it was impossible to drop the bag halfway, so there was only one conclusion, she did come back to life by herself.
Xiao Yunrui couldn't figure it out, it was poison!
"It is said that you are the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, what do you think?"
"The courtier's daughter has been recuperating in the boudoir, and she has never heard rumors."
Xiao Yunrui flicked his wide sleeves, picked up the teacup on the table, and asked to the bottom of it, "Then how do you feel when you hear it now?" β
Lin Qingwan lowered his head, his face did not change, it seems that this problem cannot be avoided today.
The deification of people outside the royal family, as the emperor of the chosen son, is undoubtedly a provocation to the imperial power, especially that she is here to help the world and save the people.
But then again, she can't be blamed for this!
"Back to the emperor, out of people's curiosity about unknown things, some things that cannot be explained by common sense can only be deified to meet the needs of the heart. The courtiers feel that this is human nature! Lin Qingwan said calmly.
Xiao Yunrui snorted lightly, "What a person's nature!" β
Lin Qingwan still lowered his head and looked at the floor tiles in front of him.
"I posthumously crowned you as the county lord before, but now I won't die, and I can't take it back even if I have opened the golden mouth! In a few days, I made a clear decree and officially canonized! The marriage contract is the will of the first emperor, anyway, you have to marry into the royal family, so the rumors will spread! After you are ready, choose an auspicious day, and then you can get married! β
Hearing the word marriage contract, Lin Qingwan looked up at Xiao Yunrui in shock, "Marriage contract!?" β
Xiao Yunrui raised his eyes, frowned and looked at Lin Qingwan, looking at her expression, she was really amnesia, and she was a little relieved.
"Go back and ask your father!"
Walking out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Lin Qingwan followed Gonggong Hong out of the palace, and she kept thinking about the marriage contract along the way, and it was not good to ask immediately in the palace. It wasn't until Xiao Tan reminded her that the person who came over was Xiao Mujue, the fourth prince, that she looked back at her.
has a long body, a gorgeous dress, peach blossom eyes with a light smile, and looks good when he doesn't speak.
"Sister Qingwan came to the palace, was she summoned by her father?"
Lin Qingwan curtsied, laughing in his heart that the fourth prince had nothing to say, and he didn't summon him, how could she enter the palace!
Gonggong Hong replied, "Back to the fourth prince, it was the emperor who summoned the county lord, and now let the old slave escort the county lord back to the house." β
"Go back! I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so I'll send her home! Xiao Mujue stood up with his hands in his hands to block their way, and said to Gonggong Hong, but his eyes kept looking at Lin Qingwan.
Lin Qingwan lowered his head and didn't speak.
Gonggong Hong glanced at it and asked the four princes for their guilt, "The four princes don't embarrass the old slave, the errand is not done well, and the old slave will definitely be punished by the emperor when he goes back!" β
Since it was his father's will that was not easy to disobey, Xiao Mujue compromised, "Then I'll send my sister to the gate of the palace, let's do it!" β
"Thank you, Fourth Prince!"
Gonggong Hong walked behind them with interest.
"Why is my sister so unfamiliar with me now?" Xiao Mujue said tentatively with a smile on his eyebrows.
"The courtiers lost their memories after waking up, and asked the four princes to forgive their sins!"
No matter who Lin Qingwan faces now, he is amnesiac and responds to all changes.
Speaking of this, the fourth prince sighed a little sadly, "Alas! I can't blame you for this, you can come back to life, my brother is already very happy! It's just that we've become so strange, and it's a lot of loss to me. β
These four princes are really natural good actors, but for Lin Qingwan, a modern person, this performance is a little heavier!
Lin Qingwan replied with a smile, "Everything has to have a process, don't worry about the four princes!" β
"By the way, the thousand-year-old ginseng I sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago, you received it!"
Lin Qingwan recalled, ginseng? It's the one she made into a cream!
"Roger! The courtiers thank the four princes. Lin Qingwan walked to the carriage and saluted the four princes, "Four princes, it's time for the courtiers to retire." β
When Xiao Mujue was about to entangle, he saw a woman in red riding a horse in the distance, heroic! It was Lin Qingwan's best friend Zhao Lingxiao.
Zhao Lingxiao turned over and dismounted, a set of actions went smoothly, Lin Qingwan and Xiao Mujue both looked at her dumbfounded, she really deserved to be the general's daughter!
Zhao Lingxiao bowed like a man, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" The courtiers haven't seen Qingwan's sister for a long time, and they miss her a little, so they came to pick her up and go home. β
Zhao Lingxiao has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and Xiao Mujue was a little afraid of her when she was a child, and she still has a shadow in her heart until now.
"Okay, then I'll send my sister here! We've come a long way! After Xiao Mujue finished speaking, he turned around and left with interest.
Lin Qingwan gave a slight salute to Father-in-law Hong, "I'm tired of my father-in-law today, it's good to have Sister Zhao send me back to the house, and my father-in-law doesn't have to go again!" β
Gonggong Hong didn't shirk anymore and went back to resume his life.
Lin Qingwan pulled Zhao Lingxiao into the carriage, and her horse was led by Zizhu.
Zhao Lingxiao, who was far away from the palace gate and endured all the way, asked in a low voice, "Have you recovered your memory?" β
Lin Qingwan shook his head, "No! β
Zhao Lingxiao was a little puzzled, then why did you just show that you were very familiar with me?
Lin Qingwan's personality has always been self-familiar, and he patted her on the shoulder, "It's okay, once born, second mature, although the previous friendship can't be found, let's start building it now!" By the way, let me ask you something, did I have a good relationship with the fourth prince before? β
Her speech and demeanor have changed too much, although Zhao Lingxiao was a little unacceptable for a while, but compared to her weak personality before, Zhao Lingxiao likes her now.
"He wants to pursue you, but you've been closed all these years and haven't given him much of a chance!"
Lin Qingwan recalled the four princes who were a little obscene just now, and nodded, "This four princes can really deceive!" Which one is the one with whom I am engaged? β
"Xiao Muning, the third prince who will return to the dynasty in two days!"
The Three Princes? In Lin Qingwan's memories in the past few days, no one has ever mentioned to her that such a character exists! Wasn't that just a little brother-in-law molesting his sister-in-law!
"Then when am I going to be in time?" Lin Qingwan asked three times, in fact, what she wanted to ask most was that Xiao Muning was handsome?
"I don't even remember my age and birthday, you and Lu are in summer this year!"
After Lin Qingwan came to the world, she didn't pay too much attention to her age, she always thought that she should be about sixteen or seventeen years old like her modern self, but she didn't expect that she is only fourteen now, wouldn't she be able to get married in the autumn, and get married young!
Zhao Lingxiao looked at her thoughtfully, "For so many days, no one told you this?" β
Lin Qingwan nodded, "I only found out when the emperor mentioned it today." Eh, by the way, I haven't seen you in a few days, what have you been busy with lately? β
"In two days, my father and the third prince will return to the court together, and there are many things at home! I finally came out for a trip, and I heard from my aunt that you were summoned by the emperor, so I came immediately. Zhao Lingxiao straightened the hem of her skirt, fortunately she came, otherwise the fourth prince would have to be difficult for a long time.
"Just in time, I made a very nice drink before I went out, and I'll give you a taste."
Zhao Lingxiao opened the corner of the curtain and glanced at Zizhu, who was leading the horse, "I haven't seen you for a few days, there is an extra female guard with good skills by your side, where did you come from?" β
Sure enough, they are all people who practice martial arts, even if they haven't fought each other, they can feel it, Lin Qingwan leaned against the wall of the car, "My father arranged it two days ago." β
The carriage staggered forward for some distance.
Zhao Lingxiao suddenly sat up straight and asked excitedly, "By the way, have you seen my second brother?" β
"Your second brother?" Lin Qingwan was a little puzzled, "Zhao Chen is your second brother!" β
Zhao Lingxiao looked proud, "My second brother is handsome!" If you don't have a marriage contract, it's just right for me to be my second brother! β
Lin Qingwan imagined that her best friend, who was a few years old, became her sister-in-law, and she had to accept her gifts when she met, isn't her best friend awkward?
