Section 110 Chapter 103 Situation

After Mengyu returned from the palace, a few days later, Gonggong Zhang came to the Lin Mansion again.

"Master Lin and his family will receive the order."

The people of the Lin Mansion, as if they had received the order last time, knelt down one after another.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Lin's dream language to save Prince Luo's son in the front, in the royal family's grace, after entering the palace to thank the reward, I look at its Hui quality Lan heart, smart and sensitive, special Lin Mengyu Xu married to Prince Luo's son as a wife, I hope that in the future, the two will grow old together, forever married. Chin this. ”

"Minister, thank you." Master Lin raised his hands high and took the holy decree handed over from Gonggong Zhang.

Father-in-law Zhang stepped forward, helped Master Lin up, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Master Lin, congratulations to Master Lin." Lin Mansion has such a daughter, which is enough to glorify the ancestors! Father-in-law Zhang arched his hand towards Master Lin and said.

Master Lin couldn't help but smile with joy on his face, and immediately took out a bag of silver taels from his arms, and said: "Father-in-law Zhang specially came to announce the decree in person, this is the silver tael of the good news, not much, and ask Father-in-law Zhang to smile." ”

Father-in-law Zhang stretched out his hand to take it, and turned it upside down, and the chrysanthemum on his face became even bigger: "Then the old slave is welcome." The old slave thanked Master Lin and Prince Luo's princess. As he spoke, he saluted to Dream again.

Mengyu smiled and thanked him.

After Father-in-law Zhang left, Mrs. Lin took Mengyu's hand and said, "I know that you are a blessed child." has experienced so much suffering since childhood, and finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon. I see that the son of the world treats you with that attitude, in the future, the husband and wife will be harmonious, and there will be many children and grandchildren! ”

Old Lady Lin said auspicious words one after another, and Mengyu's face blushed.

On this side, it is naturally jubilant.

In the palace, the concubine's bedroom.

"The old minister sees the lady concubine, the lady is auspicious." Scholar Xie entered the Shuxiang Hall and bowed to his sister-in-law.

Concubine Shu immediately stepped forward with a smile on her face, helped Scholar Xie up, and said, "There is no one else here, my brother still wants to be with my sister, so I see each other like this!?" ”

"Before and after people, etiquette cannot be abolished. The bigger this official does, the more people are ready to make me wrong, so it's better to be careful. Scholar Xie sat down at the coffee table along the concubine Niangniang.

"Brother, you're being too careful!" Concubine Shu said with a smile, then suddenly frowned again and asked, "I asked you to bring Danniang with you, what about her?" Don't you still lock yourself in the house? ”

Scholar Xie sighed and said helplessly: "Since the will of the Holy Lord for marriage arrived in the Lin Mansion, Danniang, the child, has begun to cry. What do you say in this life, Prince Feiluo's son will not marry. If she couldn't marry Lan Yucheng as the princess, she would rather hang her hair and be a sister-in-law than become the laughing stock of all Kyoto people. ”

"This kid, why is he so disobedient. Marriage is a big event, her own parents are in charge for her, how can she just say anything about being a sister-in-law, where is there still a little bit of everyone's beautiful appearance! Concubine Shu frowned and said with a reprimand.

"It's also to blame that on weekdays, your sister-in-law spoils your niece too much. Originally, Prince Luo and I were only discussing the marriage contract in private, and we never said it explicitly. Your sister-in-law already knew Danniang's child's intentions for Prince Luo's son, and she even told Danniang about it. Since last winter, Danniang has always thought that she would become the princess of Prince Luo, but who knew that a Lin Mengyu was inserted. "Scholar Xie couldn't figure out how a girl who had lived in the house for a long time and never went out, in just one year, she had become the leader of the famous and noble women in Kyoto, and now she was suddenly married by the emperor himself, married to the prince of Luo, and successfully flew on the branch to become a phoenix.

"That Lin Mengyu, I don't know what kind of enchanting technique he used to seduce Prince Luo's son, and even asked the emperor to marry him personally." Concubine Shu remembered what happened in the Imperial Garden Pavilion that day, and her stomach was furious. Not only did he not make the emperor disgusted with Nalin Mengyu, but he also lost one of his favorite bracelets. She couldn't wait to bite off Lin Mengyu's mouthful of flesh.

"Now that the emperor has given the marriage, the marriage between the prince and Lin Mengyu is an ironclad matter. It's just that after all, I have been talking with Prince Luo for a long time at the beginning, but who knew that it suddenly became like this, and Prince Luo has never given me an explanation so far! Scholar Xie looked thoughtful.

Concubine Shu remembered that a few days ago, Prince Cheng suddenly sent many valuables, and she chatted for a long time. The meaning of the words is nothing more than to let her brother, a cabinet scholar, lead the civil officials and promote Prince Cheng as the prince.

Concubine Shu thought for a moment and said, "Brother, what do you think, how is Prince Cheng?" ”

"What do you mean......" I didn't expect that his sister would think of one thing with him, but I just thought about it, but I don't know if it's the same.

Concubine Shu looked around, the palace people were already guarding the door, and she still lowered her voice with some anxiety and said: "Prince Cheng is majestic and strategic, and no one is invincible on the battlefield. Behind him, there is the big tree of the Mighty Marquis Mansion to support him, except for the heirs, all of them are candidates for the prince. ”

Master Xie nodded: "That's true, please continue to talk about Concubine Shu." ”

"Prince Cheng and Princess Luo are the same age, and now Prince Luo's sons have all started a family, but she has not yet given birth to an heir, and the chance of getting pregnant in the future is even rarer. It is better for my brother to let Danniang marry Prince Cheng, and then show favor to Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng. If Danniang can get a man in one fell swoop, she will be prosperous and rich in the future, just around the corner. Concubine Shu seemed to have seen the scene in the future, and she was slightly excited when she spoke.

"Lady Niangniang, but what did someone say to you?" Xie University's non-commissioned officialdom has been in the field for decades, and it is not a mixed bag. There must be a reason for his sister's sudden change of attitude.

"Indeed, a few days ago, Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng personally came to my Shuxiang Palace." Concubine Shu did not deny it, and continued: "Prince and Princess Cheng also intend to let Danniang marry into Prince Cheng's mansion. The meaning of her words is that if Danniang gives birth to a boy, she wants to record it in her name and become the concubine of Prince Cheng. She also promised that if he really ascended the throne as emperor one day, he would make Danniang a concubine. This is the first person under the queen! Seeing that Scholar Xie was silent, Concubine Shu continued: "In the future, Prince Cheng will return, and the person who inherits the throne will have the blood of our Xie Mansion flowing on his body. At that time, our Xie Mansion will naturally be like a newborn tree outside the window, with lush branches and leaves. ”

Scholar Xie thought for a moment and said: "That's true, but for so many years, the emperor seems to be more interested in letting Prince Luo inherit the throne, and he attaches great importance to Prince Luo's son. I originally intended to let Danniang compromise and marry the son of the world as a wife. But if we listen to your words and marry Danniang to Prince Cheng, then we will have to clear up with Prince Luo's Mansion in the future. ”

"My brother is stupid. Now that Prince Luo has decided on the candidate for the princess, even if in the future, if it is really Prince Luo's accession to the throne, where will it be the benefit of his brother. My brother might as well plan more for Prince Cheng from now on. As for the emperor, his health is not as good as before, and he may go west at any time. The matter of reading the edict must be handed over to the elder brother, so who ascends the throne, isn't it the elder brother who has the final say? What's more, it is not known who is written on the edict! The future concubine is not as good as a princess? Although I am in the position of the fourth concubine, I have never been fortunate enough to give birth to a dragon son. In his day, he still needs his brother to take care of him. Concubine Shu picked up the words, and said it step by step.

"This matter, we still need to think about it......" Scholar Xie thought carefully about what Concubine Shu said just now, and there was indeed some truth. But after all, this is a big deal, and it is quite inappropriate to make a blind decision.

Concubine Niangniang smiled and said, "My sister just said this, and the final decision was, of course, my brother." It's just that brother, if you think about the treacherous and cunning Li Shangshu, he has already hugged the thigh of the mighty Marquis Mansion. If Prince Cheng gets the help of his brother, he will naturally be like a tiger. The merit of supporting the king is not trivial! ”

The current Prince Cheng has military power in his hands, Li Shangshu is in charge of the court, and there is a mighty marquis in Kyoto. Under such a situation, if Scholar Xie really defected to Prince Cheng, the situation that Prince Luo had been operating for a long time would collapse with a bang.

"Concubine Niangniang will wait for me to think about it for a few days, and then reply to Niangniang. The old minister retired first. Scholar Xie walked out of the Shuxiang Hall with a heavy heart.
