Chapter 150: Lin Zhuohua's Idea
The news that Lin Zhuohua and King Yi were married by the emperor spread in Shangjing all of a sudden, and some people were happy and some people were unhappy.
The prince was naturally unhappy, although he didn't like Lin Zhuohua, but when he heard that Lin Zhuohua was married to King Yi, he was inexplicably unhappy, as if his own things had been snatched away.
The few staff members sitting below in the study were a little distracted when they saw that the prince didn't know what he was thinking, and his expression was very unsightly, and several people looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak.
After a long while, the prince gathered his emotions and looked at the few staff members sitting below and spoke.
"What do you think of the marriage between King Yi and Lord Ronghua?"
At the beginning, Mr. Nan and several staff members asked him to stabilize Lin Zhuohua, saying that getting her words was very helpful for him to secure the position of the prince, and now that Lin Zhuohua was given marriage to Li Zeyi, did this help also fall behind Li Zeyi.
If that was the case, then he would be even more displeased.
"The identity and family background of the lord of Ronghua are indeed of great help to the prince, but now that she has been given to marry King Yi, it does not mean that the Jing family and the Lin family are standing behind King Yi. The Lin family has always been a royalist, they only stand behind the emperor, you are the crown prince personally appointed by the emperor, and they will naturally not stand on your opposite side. β
"Yes, the Jing family is an imperial businessman, and they may support King Yi. But the power behind King Yi is too weak to be compared with the power of the crown prince. β
What if you have money? In this world, only power is the most important, so they are not worried about the Lord of Ronghua marrying King Yi.
"The most important thing for the prince now is to redeem your impression in the emperor's heart, and the only thing is to let the emperor see that you are a person who can take on a big job."
The prince frowned when he heard this, and he also agreed with the words of several staff. can think of Li Zeyi and Lin Zhuohua's marriage, and his heart is still a little unhappy.
"Lord Ronghua is a person His Royal Highness doesn't want, since Li Zeyi likes it, just give it to him."
When the prince heard this, he was in a better mood, and a smile appeared on his face: "Well, you are right. Lord Ronghua is a lonely person, but he Li Zeyi is like a baby, and he only deserves to have things that he doesn't want to have. β
Several people were secretly relieved to see that the prince was in a better mood.
"The errand that the emperor gave you to the crown prince, this time it must be done beautifully so that the emperor's impression of you can improve."
Li Zeyi nodded when he heard this: "This lonely knows, this time I called you here for this matter." How are you doing now? Now it's just in time for the New Year, and I'm afraid I'll have to give an answer to the Queen Mother and my father after the New Year. β
"Your Highness, rest assured, the people over there have already bought it. Everything is waiting for the other party to enter the pit, and then His Royal Highness can report the results to the emperor. β
Hearing the words of the staff, the prince's heart was relieved. The eldest brother is also valued by his father, and every time he is given an errand, the other party can do it beautifully.
"Okay, then Lone is waiting for your good news."
A few of the staff members said something else, and then left the study.
The prince watched a few people leave, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. These days he sleeps late, and he always feels very tired. But I called the doctor to come and take a look, but there was no problem.
"Your Highness, Gu Lin is here."
Huang Zhong appeared in the study and said respectfully.
The prince put down his hand rubbing his eyebrows and sat down in a chair: "Let him in." β
After Huang Zhong retreated, Gu Lin walked in from outside, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "My subordinates knock to see the master." β
"Get up." The prince waved his hand to get him up, and then asked, "I called you here this time because I have something to do with you, and you must go to this matter in person." β
Gu Lin's subordinates have cultivated a lot of capable people, so there are very few tasks for him, and he personally goes out. This time, when he saw that the prince asked him to do it himself, his expression froze.
"But what's wrong?"
Seeing his serious expression, the prince smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, but I only trust you in this matter." β
He beckoned Gu Lin to come over, then leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Gu Lin's face was serious, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he nodded after a while: "Don't worry, master, this matter will definitely be completed by his subordinates." β
"You are naturally relieved to be alone, and when this matter is over, I will give you a good rest and rest."
"Thank you, Master, for your grace." Gu Lin immediately spoke respectfully and gratefully, and then immediately left the study after making sure that the prince had no other instructions, after all, he was the prince's force in the dark, and it was best not to let others know.
The prince got up and took his henchmen and eunuchs to the backyard.
Since Lin Zhuohua's side got married, Qin Jiayan and Wen Shunan have grown up on her side.
"I didn't expect you to really marry King Yi, I saw the two of you getting close before, and asked you if you still didn't admit it."
Qin Jiayan had actually seen that the atmosphere between the two was different, but she had asked before, but this little girl didn't admit it.
Lin Zhuohua blinked his eyes and said, "We weren't together when you asked, and I only treated him as a senior brother at that time. β
Wen Shunan sat on the side and looked at the two, and said with a smile: "I have long seen that King Yi likes you very much, and every time I see you, there is no one else in those eyes." We, as bystanders, see it very clearly. β
Lin Zhuohua was stunned when she heard this, when Wen Shunan came, her relationship with Li Zeyi was still at the stage of brother and sister. At that time, she hadn't taken a liking to him yet.
"Really?"
Wen Shunan nodded: "Well, it's just that I didn't seem to have any other thoughts about King Yi when I saw you before, so I didn't say it." Now that I think about it, King Yi liked you at that time, maybe earlier. β
Lin Zhuohua lowered his eyes slightly, thinking of what Li Zeyi said to him that day, his cheeks were slightly hot. The roots of the ears are also covered with a layer of pale pink, which is rare and a little shy.
"But it's hard to meet someone who likes each other, so you have to cherish it."
Wen Shunan touched Lin Zhuohua's hand, she also hoped that Lin Zhuohua could be happy.
Lin Zhuohua nodded: "Well, I will cherish him well." β
The three girls looked at each other, and then smiled in unison. How lucky they are to have met someone who likes each other.
When Mrs. Lin came over, she saw the three of them sitting at the table, not knowing what they were talking about, and they were all smiling with joy on their faces.
"What kind of fun are you talking about?"
"Mother, why are you here?"
Lin Zhuohua turned his head when he heard the sound, and then hurriedly got up to meet him. helped his mother to sit on the low couch, and then poured a cup of hot water and handed it over.
Wen Shunan and Qin Jiayan also hurriedly got up to greet Mrs. Lin, and then sat down beside Mrs. Lin.
"The emperor's decree on marriage has been issued, and I am afraid that you will marry into King Yi's mansion after you are married. After the Chinese New Year, we should start preparing a dowry for you, which is to ask you if there is anything you particularly like and want. β
Thinking that her daughter was going to get married after she was married, Mrs. Lin was very reluctant. It's not bad to think about marrying King Yi, at least there are no messy concubines and concubines in the other party's mansion. When her daughter got married, she was the only one in the backyard, saving her from all those intrigues.
Lin Zhuohua was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly said: "My daughter doesn't have anything special to want, everything is up to the mother." β
She likes jade, and there are a lot of them in the small storeroom, and she receives a lot of them every year during festivals, so she doesn't really lack anything.
Mrs. Lin pondered for a moment: "Okay, then my mother will arrange it herself." β
In fact, she began to prepare a dowry for her daughter very early, and every year she would collect some precious wood and keep it for her daughter to make some furniture.
"Jiayan's parents will also come over after the New Year, and Jiayan will return to Rui at that time."
Speaking of her eldest son's marriage, Mrs. Lin looked at Qin Jiayan and continued with a little love in her eyes: "I am ready to let you get married in the second half of the year, what do you think?" β
More than half a year is enough time to prepare everything, and she doesn't want to treat Qin Jiayan badly, the other party is a good girl, and being able to marry such a capable daughter-in-law is a blessing that her honest son cultivated in his previous life.
Qin Jiayan's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this, and she pursed her lips and said, "Madame will discuss it with my parents when the time comes, and I will listen to them." β
Mrs. Lin saw that she was a little shy, and the smile in her eyes became thicker and thicker. She patted Qin Jiayan's hand and said softly: "When you get married, we will be a family." My son, I will entrust it to you in the future. β
Lin Zhuohua looked at Qin Jiayan who was blushing, with a little smile in his eyes, and said, "Mother, you should still have something to do, why don't you go and get busy first." β
Let her mother continue to speak, Qin Jiayan is afraid that she will be shy to find a crack in the ground and turn in.
Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then nodded: "Well, I do have some things to do over there." Then don't bother you young people talking, go back first. β
After the New Year, there are many happy events in the Guogong Mansion, and Lin Jinjun and Lin Wenru are going to get married. Lin Chengxi also wants to see a girl from the Queen Mother's family, and if there is no accident, it should also be settled.
There are many happy events in the Guogong Mansion, and the atmosphere of the entire mansion is very joyful.
Prince Yan and Prince Yan have always entered the palace these days, and finally Prince Yan can stay in the Guogong Mansion today. Early in the morning, I ran to the old lady's Ning Shouyuan and chatted with my mother-in-law.
When Lin Zhuohua passed, he saw what Prince Yan said to the old lady, which made the old lady smile.
When she saw her come in, the old lady immediately invited her to sit down beside her.
"Why did you come here so early today?"
Lin Zhuohua asked the old lady and Princess Yan to say goodbye, and then sat down beside the old lady.
"After this year, I will go back to the academy tomorrow. Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do today, I came over to accompany my grandmother. β
"Zhuohua's little mouth is like smearing honey, seeing that you coaxed your mother so happily as soon as you came." Princess Yan opened her mouth with a smile and looked her little niece up and down.
It's just that after a year, she seems to have opened a little more, and her eyebrows are becoming brighter and brighter, especially those beautiful eyes are even more dazzling and charming.
"My aunt is my grandmother's heart, and my grandmother's smile has become more and more when you come back."
Lin Zhuohua was tired of the old lady's side and said with a smile. She wasn't lying, but her grandmother doted on her aunt.
The smile on Princess Yan's face became a little deeper, and she pinched Lin Zhuohua's nose: "Sure enough, this little mouth is smeared with honey." β
Lin Zhuohua smiled, and then suddenly asked, "Auntie, is it going back to the fiefdom after this year?" β
Speaking of this, Prince and Princess Yan sighed: "Well, your uncle said that it would be within half a month." β
Lin Zhuohua frowned when he heard this, and said, "What about my cousin's relatives?" β
"The emperor said that he would look at your cousin for you." Their son's marriage is not up to them, and they are a little uncomfortable. But there is no way, the emperor is afraid of Prince Yan's mansion.
Even if Prince Eye has avoided the fiefdom, he still can't reassure the emperor.
"Zhuohua thinks that my aunt and uncle can also look at each other in private, and let my uncle test the emperor's meaning when the time comes, what if the person you choose is also satisfactory to the emperor?"
Princess Yan was a little tempted when she heard this, and her eyes rolled: "What you said is also a good way." β
Prince Yan has his own palace in Shangjing, but he doesn't live very well, and someone has been cleaning it over the years.
"It's better to wait for the beginning of spring, my aunt can hold a flower-viewing banquet and invite the young lady of the family in Beijing to come."
The identity of Prince Yan is enough, as long as she sends an invitation, no one will refuse. After all, although Prince Yan's fief is relatively far away, he has a lot of power. Otherwise, even if he retreats to the fiefdom, he will still be feared by the emperor.
"I think Zhuohua's proposal is good, you have just returned to Shangjing as the princess of Yan, since you will not return to the fiefdom for a long time in the future, it is very appropriate to hold a flower-viewing banquet."
The old lady also agreed with Lin Zhuohua's decision, although the emperor's decision on the marriage of her grandson, wouldn't it be better if the person they chose by themselves happened to be within the scope allowed by the emperor.
"Then the list of women who invited the Shangjing family will be handed over to Zhuohua, Zhuohua is more familiar with these people."
Lin Zhuohua said with a smile, anyway, she is just helping, and in the end, whether the cousin can marry the person she likes depends on their own fate.
"Then it's going to be troublesome."
Prince Yan and Princess Yan haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, so she is really not familiar with Lin Zhuohua with these young ladies of the family, and since her little niece is willing to help, she will naturally not refuse.
Lin Zhuohua accompanied the old lady all morning and returned to his yard after lunch.
Walking into the courtyard and seeing Sui Feng standing at the door, she knew that Li Zeyi should be in the house.
She walked in and took off the big hat, handed the hand stove to Bai Yu, and walked over to him and sat down.
"Not busy today?"
Li Zeyi put down the book in his hand and looked sideways at her. Porcelain white skin, with a slight flush on the cheeks. It should have been blown by the cold wind outside, he reached out and touched it, and it was really cold.
"I'll come and see you if I have nothing to do today." He gently covered her cheek with his hand until it was warm: "Is there something going on tomorrow?" β
"I'm going to the academy tomorrow."
There was nothing left to learn from the Academy, but she still had to do what she promised Master Ouyang. Feng Shuhui was already a little embarrassed before, but now that she is back, she naturally can't continue to make her work hard.
"But I should only need to stay for a while before leaving, what's the matter?"
Li Zeyi held her hand and played slowly: "I just want to introduce a few friends to you, and they all want to get to know you." β
Li Zeyi's friend, Lin Zhuohua now only knows that the Demon Sect Leader Hua Raider, and he really doesn't know the others. She thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, but we will probably meet at noon." β
"That's no problem, just eat at Fengxiang Building at noon."
Now that their relationship has been decided, he naturally wants the little girl to get to know his friends and integrate into his circle.
Lin Zhuohua was also very curious about what kind of friends Li Zeyi had, and there was still a trace of expectation in his heart.
The two got tired of it for another afternoon, and Li Zeyi reluctantly left. In the evening, Lin Zhuohua received two boxes of gifts from Li Zeyi.
A box isn't worth much, but it's a novelty. The other box was full of jade artifacts that were very precious, and some of them could not even be bought with money.
This time the gift was sent with great fanfare, and soon there was news that King Yi liked to value his fiancΓ©e very much in Beijing.
In Prime Minister Fu's mansion, Fu Mingxuan listened to the maids around him talk about the news about Lin Zhuohua and Li Zeyi outside. Her face became more and more ugly, she liked King Yi for so many years, and even tried to persuade her father to ask the emperor to give her to King Yi, but she didn't succeed.
I thought that King Yi was not close to women, and he had never been close to a woman for so many years. He'll always be alone, with no exceptions. never thought that Yiwang, who was indifferent to women, would show a gentle and doting smile to a woman, and he would also please a woman.
How does this make her not jealous, why is that woman not her?
Thinking of Lin Zhuohua, the anger in her heart couldn't stop surging out. Why did she harm herself like this, but she was able to marry the person she liked, and let the other party like that, but she wanted to marry the unfavored fifth prince.
The more she thought about it, the more unbalanced she became, and she felt that she was about to be overwhelmed by jealousy.
The maid who was guarding the side saw her young lady's hideous look, and her body instinctively trembled. The current appearance of the young lady, where is there still the dignified atmosphere of the past.
But they are maids, and their lives are cheap. Hanging his head, he didn't dare to bump into it at this time.
After a long while, Fu Mingxuan reined in the look on his face and returned to a dignified appearance. She picked up the pen, wrote a letter, and handed it to the maid for her to send out.
Lord Ni Yuan is right, since he can't get it, then he will destroy it, and no one can think about it.
Early the next morning, Lin Zhuohua went to the academy in a carriage with Qin Jiayan and Wen Shunan.
Because she was only responsible for arranging the training content of the students, she came over early in the morning to discuss with Feng Shuhui and formulated today's training.
After finishing the training, she left the academy.
As soon as she walked out of the academy, she felt a strange aura follow her.
The beautiful Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Bai Yu beside her: "You and Hongzhu will go back to the house first, and I will go to Fengxiang Tower alone." β
