Chapter Forty-Six: Qingji's Emotional Injury
The big wedding should be prepared by the Ministry of Rites, and it did not cost much manpower in the house, so basically all the things and furnishings should be sent to the Ning Wangfu after the Ministry of Rites is prepared, and the ones that should be sent to the Zuo Xiangfu are also sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the afternoon of this day, Lin Qingzhi, who had finished lunch, was fiddling with a bunch of medicinal herbs in the house to prepare for grinding.
Rongyue saw that her young lady was still immersed in the pharmacopoeia and the development of medicinal materials, and she didn't say anything anymore, stroking the big red wedding dress sent by the Ministry of Rites, and sighed secretly: "Miss, you see that the embroidery girl in the palace is really different from the craftsmanship outside, and the nine phoenixes seem to be about to fly out." ”
Lin Qingzhi, who was immersed in grinding medicinal powder, raised her eyes and said with a smile: "It seems that we Rongyue also want to get married, and when we are done with this busy time, we will find you a good family business, and you will be able to wear a beautiful red wedding dress!" The white jade droplets in the center of her forehead made her face more beautiful and elegant.
Rongyue knew that her master was making fun of her again, so she pretended to be angry and said: "The slave and the maid don't want to marry, the slave and the maid are willing to accompany the young lady for the rest of their lives, and they will never be separated, what's so good about marrying, a man has three wives and four concubines to fight for favor, and it is better to follow the young lady to eat and drink well and not worry about anything." ”
Hearing Rongyue's words, Lin Qingzhi couldn't help but churn in her heart, yes, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so what about her brother Mu, he may ascend to that supreme position in the future, not to mention the palace concubines and concubines, and can he always be that unique and special in his heart?
Thinking of this, I didn't feel a sour feeling in my heart, and then I was shocked by the narrow mind of a little daughter like herself, her brother Mu is different, otherwise she would not be willing to bear the piercing pain for her, thinking of this, she cheered up, and the movements in her hands were a little harder.
After a while, Ah Da walked in with an expressionless face and stood beside Lin Qingzhi, and said respectfully: "Miss, this is a letter from the gentle girl of Yirenju. With that, he handed a white note to Lin Qingzhi.
wiped the medicinal powder on his hand with the handkerchief handed over by Rongyue, took the note handed by Ah Da and looked at it, and after a while, a cold glow flashed through the bright eyes of autumn water, and the paper was torn to shreds.
"Let's check, whether this group of warrior ronins from Dongying has anything to do with the queen, if so, then her ambition seems to have been so big that we didn't expect it, the last time I entered the palace, I saw the queen return to favor, I knew that she would definitely make a move, but I didn't expect her to be bold enough to collude with the Khitan to plot wrongdoing, but unfortunately I haven't found evidence."
"Miss, forgive the slave and the maid for being too talkative, isn't the emperor very fond of His Royal Highness the Second Highness now, why don't you re-appoint him as the crown prince?" Rong Yue naturally didn't understand the court situation, but asked with her own intuition.
"Silly Rongyue, our emperor is worried about his hard-won throne day and night, who can he trust completely except himself? With the crown prince there, it is natural to maintain the existing balance, and if the family is dominant, many situations will not be under his control. ”
The truth of what Rong Yue said can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and Lin Qingzhi has a lot of trust in Rong Yue, so naturally she will not deliberately hide it, so she said it.
After thinking for a while, Lin Qingzhi got up and walked out of the door, Rongyue didn't know what her young lady was going to do, so she hurriedly followed outside the door and asked, "Where is Miss going?" ”
"Go to my father's study!" With that, the pink shadow disappeared outside the courtyard gate of Yaxuan.
When Lin Qingzhi walked to the Nanyue study, Lin Chengde was sitting in front of the bookcase and frowned, and after Lin Qingzhi explained all this, Lin Chengde's face became even heavier, and he said slowly: "The eyeliner in the palace has also discovered that Fengqi Palace has been moving frequently recently, but the current queen is more cautious, and her specific actions have not been clarified for a while." ”
"Father, do you even have eyeliner in the palace?" Lin Chengde's caution was beyond Lin Qingzhi's imagination, she didn't expect her father's intelligence agency to even have their people in the palace.
"It's also a person who was planted before the expedition, just for the past in case, after all, the amount and accuracy of the information can sometimes bring the dead back to life."
Lin Chengde took the copper kettle that was boiling next to him and poured it into the purple sand tea cup, and several young buds in the turquoise tea soup were churning and spinning, followed by a burst of fragrance into his nose.
"My father originally wanted to resign and retire when you and King Ning finished their marriage, but the situation in front of me is unclear, how can I rest assured that you and Your Highness are there."
Looking at her father's gradually gray hair, Lin Qingzhi thought that her father had worked hard for the country and the family for most of his life, and he could finally live the life he wanted to live, but his strength was still too weak after all, and he had to worry about her father who had already known the destiny of heaven for her, and she couldn't help but feel guilty on her face.
Seeing his daughter's expression, Lin Chengde also guessed a few points, so he changed the topic and said, "Your brother seems to be a little depressed recently, go and see him when you have time." ”
Out of the Nanyue study, Lin Qingzhi walked slowly in the direction of Nanyuan with a lot of worries, and in the crisp autumn season, several maple trees in the Fuzhong Garden were already full of fiery red, which was particularly eye-catching in the autumn of Xiao Suo.
Just walked outside the door of Nanxuan, heard the wisps of piano sound, the piano sound was soft and sad, the tune was mournful and lingering, such as crying and complaining, full of lovesickness and sorrow, Qingzhi stopped to listen, her heart rose and fell with the miserable piano sound, and her eyes couldn't help but be misty, it turned out that he was absent for two months, and his brother was so sad?
Until the end of the song, Qingzhi couldn't help sighing, and slowly walked into the courtyard door, under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, Lin Qingji sat under the tree in a white robe, a few strands of scattered hair hung down, fluttering left and right with the gentle wind, looking particularly lonely and lonely.
Although Lin Qingji was a little cynical, but her gentle and jade-like face was always smiling like a spring breeze, how could she have been so sad and sad, Lin Qingzhi thought of Wei Yao's sadness, and sighed in her heart for a while.
There was a green jade wine jug on the case, only to see Lin Qingji's face was slightly red, but he was still immersed in the sound of the piano, Lin Qingzhi slowly walked inside, and Lin Yi, who was standing on the side, saw that he was busy saluting, but was stopped by her raising her hand.
Walking to Lin Qingji and sitting down in front of the desk, Lin Qingji closed his eyes and said in a lazy tone: "Lin Yi, pour wine." ”
Lin Qingzhi put her fingers and two fingertips into the wine cup on the table, dipped the wine, and flicked her fingers at Lin Qingji's handsome face, and the cold wine spilled into Lin Qingji's face, Lin Qingji screamed, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Qingzhi who was smiling evilly, with a rare doting smile on her face: "Damn bad girl, you can't be your bride-to-be, you came to tease the eldest brother!" ”
Lin Qingzhi raised her hand and raised her sleeves, wiped her eldest brother's face, and by the way, rubbed all the wine drops on her fingertips on the white robe on Lin Qingji's chest, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Is it not the right time for me to come, disturbing the eldest brother and missing the beauty?" Which girl can make the unruly big brother dream? ”
