Chapter 7 The Daughter of the Lin Family 7
Lin Qian's hand holding the teacup froze, looking at Lin Ruo, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Seeing this situation, Lin Ruo's heart was even more uneasy.
Although for her, a new new woman who once lived in modern times, the freedom to love is the most basic right. But even if you live in modern times, you still have to take your other half to meet the parents of both parties and get their consent before you go to get a certificate and a wedding. What's more, she is now living in the feudal era, obeying the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker.
She made such a private claim and asked Emperor Mingzong to give her marriage, but it was particularly polite and filial.
What's more, over the years, Lin Qian has always treated her as her own, and she also regards Lin Qian as her closest elder.
However, Lin Qian didn't react too much, just stared at her for a long time before sighing faintly, sensing that she was uneasy, so he asked in a calmest tone as much as possible, "Who is it?" β
Lin Ruo hung his head slightly, not daring to meet Lin Qian's gaze, and slowly replied, "King Rong, Murong Chong." β
After that, he raised his head slightly and carefully observed Lin Qian's reaction, just in time to catch Lin Qian's gaze.
"King Rong?! Murong Chong?! β
Seeing his niece nod in affirmation, Lin Qian took a deep breath.
Although he has never met Murong Chong, King Rong's resounding achievements are known to everyone in Donglu.
Proficient in the art of war, good at riding and shooting, brave and brave, brave and brave three armies, galloping on the battlefield, never defeated. The northern barbarians were terrified when they heard its name, and the southern enemy broke the army when they saw its shadow.
With such a great record, in the world, I am afraid that only a figure like Meng Jiugong of Zeguo can compare with it. However, Jiugong is dying, but King Rong is young.
Going back, Lin Qian had a relationship with King Rong's father, King Yuwang Murong Jing - that is, on the day of the wedding of his sister Lin Yuan'er, the lord of Pingrong County, and Gu Ting.
On that day, Emperor Mingzong did not come in person, but the king of honor sent a wedding gift to the newlyweds on his behalf. The famous prince, because he and Lin Yuaner went to Puji Temple to rescue the queen mother, admired this strange woman who did not let her eyebrows go.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruo would let the emperor give him a marriage, and the object of the marriage was still Murong Chong, the king of Rong!
In his heart, this excellent niece is rarely worthy of a man. Although Ah Ruo never mentioned it, he has always taken her marriage to heart, thinking that he must find a wishful husband for her who can be worthy of her.
However, because Lin Ruo had just arrived, he was not particularly anxious.
Unexpectedly, this niece and daughter, who has had an idea since she was a child, actually picked it out by herself and gave her a marriage!
King Rong is worthy of his Ah Ruo, but with Ah Ruo's identity, he has climbed a little high, especially if he asks the emperor to come up and give him a marriage! This move surprised him very much, this is not like the style of Ah Ruo, who has always acted steadily.
Could it be ......
He still knows something about Ah Ruo's temperament. Thinking of something suddenly, Lin Qian's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly asked, "Ah Ruo, are you ...... Aren't you, can't let go of your sister's business? β
Lin Ruo raised his eyes and looked at Lin Qian with wide eyes, this was only one of the reasons, but not the main reason.
However, she had already expected that Lin Qian would be contacted by this, so she covered it up very well, shook her head, and explained unhurriedly: "Before entering the palace today, Xian Mo asked someone to hand me a note, saying that the prince wanted to accept me into the palace as a side concubine. I didn't take it to heart, but I met Sister Qing in the palace, and she also asked me about it, although I was perfunctory, but it also proved that the prince did have this intention. β
Xian Mo was a geisha who became famous at the Fenghua Snow Fish Contest last year, and Lin Ruo fell in love with this little-known woman with coarse cloth at a glance, and tailor-made a confrontation for her. In the end, as a Qing man, Xian Mo was included in the house as a concubine when he was in the limelight.
Kong Fu, the head of the household department, and Shen Di, the secretary of the household department, are both members of the prince. Among them, Shen Wanyi, the daughter of Shen Di, the head of the household department, is the prince's concubine. Kong Fu, the head of the household department, is Shen Di's protΓ©gΓ©, and he was also picked up by Shen Di.
Fengyue place has always been a distribution center for all kinds of news, I am afraid that Kong Fu inadvertently slipped his mouth. However, Xian Mo also thinks of the source of drinking water, and has always been grateful to Lin Ruozhi for his kindness, and he took the risk to make people ventilate.
If it was just Xian Mo who sent the message, Lin Ruo would have considered the authenticity of this matter more, but the side knock of the crown princess Su Muqing made her more and more sure of the authenticity of this news.
Coupled with the casual glance that the prince threw at her at the banquet, all this made her affirm the prince Li Chang's plan: the prince planned to bring the Lin family, the richest man in Bian'an City, under his wing, by marrying her as a concubine.
The open and secret struggle between the crown prince Li Chang, who is nearly thirty years old, and the eldest prince Li Zhanlan, who is over thirty years old, is an indisputable secret in the court, which is known from Li Zhanlan's title: King Ye.
Ye, the glorious one.
Moreover, King Ye, as the eldest son, according to the principle of "eldest son and virtuous", naturally has the capital to compete with Li Chang, who is the son-in-law.
The two are two years apart in age, but in the battle for the throne, neither is to be outdone.
Last year's Oiran bidding, the prince and King Ye both wanted to take the Wan family under their command, but they didn't expect Wan Hui of the Wan family to be cunning, so that they had been arguing between the prince and King Ye for nearly a year, and they didn't let the two get their wish.
Now, the crown prince has stretched out his hand to the Lin family, I am afraid that the eldest prince will get the news after tonight.
If the crown prince asked the emperor to marry the lord of Minhui into the prince's mansion, how could King Ye be indifferent and not intervene?
At that time, both the prince and King Ye wanted to marry her, and it was difficult to ensure that she would not be named "disaster water", and she would end up miserable, and even affect the Lin family.
Although she is very disgusted by the intrigue between the palace women, she is not afraid, but if she can avoid it, why wade into such troubled waters? It's better to strike first and get a chance for yourself.
Moreover, King Rong has been raised on the side of the emperor and queen since he was a child, and he has a close relationship with the prince, so he thinks that the prince can think of this layer, and he should also be able to receive the Lin family's euphemistic overtures.
Lin Qian naturally understood what Lin Ruo could think of, but when he thought of his beloved niece being so scheming, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "Eh, it would have been nice if I had helped you book a family affair earlier, you and the second young master of the Suhou family are really a good match, and you ...... with him."
"Stop!"
Seeing that his uncle mentioned Su Muyu with a look of pity, Lin Ruo hurriedly intercepted the conversation, "Uncle, it is absolutely impossible for me and that wooden fish pimple!" β
Su Muyu, the name Boyu, as for the nickname of "Wooden Fish Pimple", it was taken by Lin Ruo.
Lin Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Ruo, with a look of disgust on his determined face, he suddenly smiled, looking disbelieving, but he didn't say anything more.
Horizontally and vertically, the emperor has opened Chrysostom and plans to give marriage, and mentioning Su Shizi at this time will only increase his troubles.
