Chapter 141: See Through
The emperor was really angry this time.
At this time, all the people sitting in the main hall only felt that there seemed to be an invisible pressure squeezing towards them around them, and they didn't even dare to look up at the face of the Ninety-Five Venerable.
"Your Majesty." No one thought that the prince of Xiangguo would choose to speak at this time, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Yin Ze, only to see Yin Ze say to the emperor sitting at the top with a somewhat far-fetched smile: "There is a reluctant invitation below." ”
"Prince Yin, please speak." Although the emperor was angry in his heart, when facing Yin Ze, he still tried to suppress the anger in his heart and make his face look better.
"Back to the emperor." Yin Ze arched his hand, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "The scenery of Rongguo has been famous for a long time, this time it is rare to have a chance to come, I plan to stay in the imperial city for half a month, and enjoy the scenery of the imperial city of Rongguo, but I am not familiar with the life of Rongguo, so I want to take the liberty of asking the fourth princess to be a guide for us, and take me to take a good look around this Guang'an City when I am free." ”
Yin Ze's meaning is clearly to find a chance to get along with Murong Yue, and the emperor originally intended to marry Murong Yue to Xiang State, since Yin Ze took the initiative to contact Murong Yue this time, how could he, as the emperor, refuse?
"Prince Yin came to visit our country, and I Rongguo should have done my landlord's friendship, how can this matter be regarded as a reluctant invitation?" The emperor smiled in response, and at the same time turned his head to look at Murong Yue on the side, "I don't know if Yue'er is willing to serve as this guide?" ”
The emperor was still smiling, but his eyes were cold, and there was not a trace of emotion.
Lin Yingxue could clearly feel that the bodies of the people beside her seemed to be quietly tense, "...... Of course Yue'er is willing. After a long time, Murong Yue spit out these words with some difficulty.
In fact, Murong Yue had no room to refuse. In fact, her life is in the hands of the middle-aged man above - he can give her fine clothes and food, give her countless enviable favors, and can also single-handedly push her into hell, so that she will never be able to turn over.
So before she wants to achieve her goal, she must regain the favor of the man who first comes up.
Seeing that Murong Yue didn't refute his face in person, the emperor's face finally looked a little better.
Finally participated in the banquet with trepidation, and after returning to the Lin family, Di'er saw Lin Yingxue looking tired, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Why does the slave maid think that the young lady has entered the palace and the whole person is haggard, is there someone in the palace bullying the young lady?" ”
As she spoke, Di'er pouted and walked over and gently pressed Lin Yingxue's head. Lin Yingxue closed her eyes comfortably, and asked in a low voice, "Is someone coming to me today?" ”
"Miss Hui, the second lady came over, and when she saw that Miss was not there, she left......" What Di'er said behind Lin Yingxue couldn't hear clearly, because as soon as she closed her eyes, she quickly fell asleep.
It was a rare good night's sleep yesterday, but after seeing the figure who came to her early in the morning, Lin Yingxue knew that her trouble might come again.
"Tell me how I can get away with this marriage." As soon as Murong Yue came up, she made her purpose clear.
At this time, Lin Yingxue was originally planning to have breakfast, but after hearing Murong Yue's words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching: "...... The fourth princess threw me this big problem early in the morning, did she deliberately want me to not be able to eat? ”
Murong Yuecai didn't care so much, and while asking Yahuan to serve her a pair of dishes and chopsticks, she said disapprerovitously: "Anyway, you have to help me." ”
Seeing that although Murong Yue's face was still dark, she had already had some shadows of the past in her actions, Lin Yingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "This matter is not easy. ”
Lin Yingxue put down her chopsticks, raised her hand and signaled the maid who was serving on the side to retreat before she said solemnly: "This is a political marriage between the two countries, in order to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, it is not so easy to avoid." ”
"Of course I do." Murong Yueqing's little face was also dyed with a little sadness, "But I can only say this to you now, and you are the only one who can help me." ”
As a princess, Murong Yue would only persuade Murong Yue to focus on the overall situation at this time, even if she was the queen who loved Murong Yue the most...... Since Murong Yue has enjoyed the glory brought to her by this identity since she was a child, she will naturally have to pay the due price for this glory one day.
The atmosphere seemed to grow gloomy. Lin Yingxue pondered for a long time before saying: "Is there a way for the princess to regain the emperor's favor in a short period of time, if the emperor is reluctant to marry the princess, then this matter will be much easier." ”
"......" was silent for a while, and after a long time, Lin Yingxue heard Murong Yue say bitterly: "Yingxue, if it was before, I would definitely tell you that I can, but now...... Since that assassination, my father seems to have completely changed as a person, and he is extremely wary of everyone around him, and I can't even see my father alone now, let alone regain my father's affection......"
Although she had already learned from Honglian's mouth that the emperor was now wary of Murong Yu, Lin Yingxue didn't expect that the relationship between the father and daughter had become so ossified.
She secretly sighed in her heart, and had to change her way of thinking and said, "Then we can only start from the prince of Xiangguo." Now, although the two countries have tacitly agreed that they want to marry, after all, this matter has not yet been put on the surface, so we still have a chance to escape this marriage - as long as the prince of Xiangguo is unwilling to marry the princess, then this marriage will not be possible. ”
But this time Xiangguo can be said to be coming for Murong Yue, even if Murong Yue is a dominatrix, I am afraid that the prince of Xiangguo will endure to marry Murong Yue back, so in fact, no matter what aspect it is, it is very difficult to avoid this marriage.
"Why doesn't Miss Fifth use chopsticks, but the food here is not to the princess's appetite?" When Lin Yingxue thought like this, she was already sitting in a crowded small restaurant with Murong Yue, Yin Ze and others.
Lin Yingxue heard Yin Ze's voice, so she came back to her senses, and awkwardly stuffed a chopstick dish into her mouth, "Prince Yin also eats it." ”
Lin Yingxue smiled heartily, but Yin Ze's cheek twitched fiercely - he hadn't eaten in such a crowded and dirty restaurant since he was a child!
At noon today, when Murong Yue came to the post station to find him in person, saying that he was going to take him to a very distinctive restaurant to eat, he was still a little proud and happy in his heart, but when he really arrived at this 'very distinctive' restaurant in Murong Yue's mouth, Yin Ze couldn't laugh at all.
- There were six tables crowded in a small storefront, and as long as there were many people, almost everyone was crowded together to eat, and it happened that it was the time to eat, and when they came, there was only one empty table left in the store. After he sat down, as long as he raised his hand slightly, he would meet the five big and three thick men next door, who exuded an unknown smell, so from the beginning of sitting down, he almost froze and didn't dare to make any big movements.
As for the food in this family, he is even more afraid to compliment! He saw the little servant dangling in front of his eyes with a 'white apron' stained with black and ash, and from time to time he took the strip on his shoulder, which was no longer visible, wiped the floor, wiped the rag on the table, and turned it around on the plate on which it was served, and then threw a dish on their table.
That's right, it's 'throw'! Wherever he went from childhood to adulthood, he was not respectfully held, when did even a small shopkeeper be able to look at him with his nostrils and show him his face?
“…… Princess, I think we'd better eat at another restaurant, right? Yin Ze's face was blue and white, white and green, like a bitter gourd, especially ugly, and this sentence had been said no less than five times since he entered the store, but the woman sitting opposite him was still munching on the chicken leg with great interest.
"I think the food of the Jie family is quite delicious......" Murong Yue replied vaguely with a greasy mouth.
Looking at the woman in front of him who was gobbling up, eating all over her hands and covered in oil, Yin Ze really couldn't associate the person in front of him with the noble and arrogant princess he saw in the palace two days ago. Originally, he thought that he had picked up a treasure in this marriage, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was such a sloppy and vulgar person in private!
Seeing that Yin Ze had never moved his chopsticks, Murong Yue couldn't help but greet enthusiastically: "Prince Yin, why don't you eat it, try this chicken leg, it's delicious!" ”
As Murong Yue spoke, she grabbed a chicken leg from the plate and stuffed it into Yin Ze's mouth without saying a word.
One ...... The greasy taste instantly spread from the coating of his tongue, and then remembering the stench of hair and the table next to him on the plate...... 'wow', Yin Ze tilted his head and vomited on the side.
Needless to say, Yin Ze returned to the post station for an afternoon, and he still felt that disgusting feeling always accompanied him.
"I won't marry this princess!" If it weren't for his father's explanation that he must take care of the overall situation when he came out, he would have turned his face and denied people as early as today's dinner.
"Don't be carried away by anger, or you will fulfill the wishes of others." It was a young man who opened his mouth to answer, and if Lin Yingxue was here at this time, she would be able to recognize that the man who spoke was the person named Xu Jingsheng she met in the Imperial Garden that day.
"Fulfill the wishes of others?" Yin Ze was a little puzzled, "That old guy Rong Guo probably wants to send her daughter out more than me, how can he not want his daughter to marry me." ”
"Heh," Xu Jingsheng chuckled, and while sipping tea slowly, he analyzed lightly: "I'm afraid this matter is not the intention of Emperor Rongguo, but the will of Princess Rongguo herself." The four princesses of Rongguo were born in the royal family, no matter how tricky and difficult their personalities are, they always understand the minimum etiquette. What the prince saw in the palace that day was the real princess Rongguo, and today's show is probably deliberately done by the princess Rongguo to show the prince, in order to make the prince take the initiative to give up this family business. ”
Xu Jingsheng analyzed this, and Yin Ze reacted like an initiation.
He complained with some displeasure: "What is the dissatisfaction of the princess Rongguo marrying me, my Hunan country has a vast territory and abundant materials, which is no worse than Rongguo, and after marrying, once I ascend the throne, she will be the queen of the world!" This princess Rongguo was squeezed out of the door before she thought about pushing this marriage out! ”
Compared with Yin Ze's full of complaints, Xu Jingsheng said with great interest: "I'm more interested in the person who gave advice to Princess Rongguo." ”
Dare to play a little trick in front of him, that person is really bold.
