Chapter 122: The Wife of the Dregs
However, Duanmu Heng has now talked about this, if her little peasant girl dares to reject the most noble and favored prince of the Southern Dynasty in the court, not only will Duanmu Heng lose face, but the emperor and queen will also lose face.
Everything today will become the most ridiculous thing in the Southern Dynasty.
Lin Xiaomiao lowered her head and clenched her fists, she really didn't know how to answer the emperor's question.
Although Duanmu Heng said at the beginning that he would make her his person, the identities of the two are very different, and it is impossible for her to serve a husband with her like these women in ancient times.
She can't do it, although she has traveled for many years, but she doesn't allow herself to be as wronged as these women in her bones, and her quality and three views can't accept such a ridiculous thing.
If she can't be a couple for the rest of her life, then she would rather die alone.
She has always felt that this Duan Mu Heng is just a whim for herself, and a royal child like him will marry a few noble girls in the end to consolidate her position, and it is impossible to really marry a peasant girl who can't help her at all.
Although Duanmu Heng didn't really want to marry her, he just accepted her as a side concubine, but the prince's side concubine also entered the royal Jade Butterfly, and she had to be a noble girl with status to be worthy of it.
How do you know that this Duan Mu Heng is a fool, and he doesn't care about his low status, even if he abolish the position of a side concubine, he has to keep himself, do you really like yourself?
Lin Xiaomiao doesn't believe it!
Everyone was looking at her to see how she would answer the emperor's question, but Lin Xiaomiao really didn't know how to answer.
It was impossible for her to agree, but she refused, she was afraid that her head would not be guaranteed.
This is the second life she got from walking shit luck, and she is desperate for her life.
Just when she was entangled and didn't know what to do, a familiar and cool voice sounded, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this matter is inappropriate." ”
The voice was loud in the quiet of the hall.
Everyone looked at the sound.
Lin Xiaomiao also looked over, and when her eyes touched the familiar cold snow-white clothes, the whole person froze.
That...... That is obviously Zhang Tianyi, who has been missing for a long time, and she regards her husband Zhang Tianyi who is already dead!
How did he end up here?
Lin Xiaomiao's heart shook, and her entire delicate body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
It turned out that this Zhang Tianyi was not the third young master of the Zhang family in Qingping Township at all, his real identity was Duanmu Yi, the only son of the King of Jueyang, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jueyang.
A few years ago, because the emperor's younger brother King Jueyang was framed for attempting rebellion, he was suppressed and killed himself, and the other relatives were killed and exiled.
Just some time ago, the imperial court finally found out what happened that year, and the truth about the wronged king of Jueyang was revealed, and the emperor found out that he had wronged his own brother, and blamed himself, and ordered to search for the whereabouts of the prince of Jueyang all over the world and rehabilitate the wrongs of the year.
And the missing Jueyang King Prince Duanmu Yi in that strangulation, after the arrow, did not die, but rolled down the cliff, hit the eye, the last cronies of the King of Jueyang handed him over to the local court officials, the local officials learned the identity of the prince and hid him in the Zhang family, incognito for many years.
Because the suppression and rebellion that shocked the government and the opposition was ordered by the emperor to lead people to do it, in this way, Duanmu Heng was Duanmu Yi's enemy of exterminating the clan, so when Duanmu Yi was still Zhang Tianyi, he inadvertently picked up the jade pendant that Duanmu Heng rewarded Lin Xiaomiao, so his face changed greatly, and he quietly put away the jade pendant.
And Duanmu Yi made up his mind to leave after he was chased and killed with Lin Xiaomiao and fell off the cliff that time.
His departure was not impromptu, but he had plans to leave early in the morning, but he didn't expect his identity to be discovered by Duanmu Heng so quickly, nor did he expect that he would bring danger to Lin Xiaomiao.
After he left, he investigated the rebellion of King Jueyang according to the original plan, and he always believed that his father was innocent, and his father was so upright and selfless, and a person who was dedicated to the people, it was impossible for him to do that great rebellion.
In fact, he has never relaxed for a moment even when he is hiding in the countryside, he carefully hides his traces while recuperating from his injuries, while getting in touch with the old department left behind by King Jueyang, and then collecting evidence, although the process is very difficult, and he has been detected several times, but it is not without a little gain.
At least, a few years later, those rumors made Dangjin begin to suspect that King Jueyang had rebelled back then.
Later, he finally waited for the order from above to thoroughly investigate the rebellion of King Jueyang, and he began to promote the resources of the people who could be used to investigate.
Sure enough, during the time when he left Qingping Township and returned to Beijing, after perseverance in the investigation, he finally found out all the truth.
His father, King Jueyang, was wronged!
was framed by those filthy villains, forged a letter of rebellion, and was unjustly killed.
The emperor rehabilitated the Jueyang Palace, and the villains who framed his father also got the punishment they deserved, and he became the son of the King of Jueyang again.
And his blind eyes were also slammed into Lin Xiaomiao when he rolled off the cliff.
He seemed to have forgotten the bad wife who had lived with him in Qingping Township for many years, and he thought that he would forget the face that he glanced at in a hurry, and he didn't expect to see Lin Xiaomiao here again, let alone that he had completely engraved the face of the peasant girl in his mind.
At a glance, he recognized it.
In fact, he could expect it, just with the jade pendant that Duanmu Heng gave to Lin Xiaomiao, he should have guessed that one day, Lin Xiaomiao might appear in front of him with Duanmu Heng.
But when he really saw Lin Xiaomiao and Duanmu Heng standing together, he couldn't do anything as if nothing had happened.
Even if the past was very unbearable, even if Lin Xiaomiao witnessed him when he was the most depressed, he originally wanted to forget everything, but when he really saw the familiar slender figure, everything he had experienced was re-reflected in his mind very clearly.
Lin Xiaomiao's face turned white, and she looked at Duanmu Yi without blinking, she hoped that she had seen the wrong eye, but the real handsome face that was close at hand told her clearly that she didn't recognize the wrong person.
Maybe people may look alike, but their actions and temperament can't be imitated.
Lin Xiaomiao's heart has always had a voice telling her, shouting to her, that person is Zhang Tianyi, Zhang Tianyi who is fake!
And when Duanmu Heng saw Duanmu Yi speak, his whole face instantly darkened.
The emperor looked at Duanmu Yi puzzled, and said suspiciously: "What does Yi'er think is wrong?" Speak up and listen to me. ”
Duanmuyi walked out, walked to the other side of Lin Xiaomiao, threw off his clothes, and knelt down.
"Emperor Qi, the king of Liyang wants to accept a peasant girl as his wife, as a younger brother, it is indeed inappropriate for me to speak out to stop it, but it is really because this woman is the wife of the minister who was married to the people, no matter what, the minister and the woman have been suffering together for those years, she is the wife of the minister, how can she remarry the king of Liyang as a side concubine?"
As soon as Duanmu Yi's words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.
He said it reasonably, but this matter is indeed ridiculous to the extreme, for a while, everyone in this palace looked at Duanmu Heng, Duanmu Yilin, and Xiaomiao, and then looked at the emperor above.
What a show!
No one expected that this insignificant peasant girl would have a secret connection with the most favored King of Liyang and the prince of Jueyang.
At this moment, the emperor's face finally pulled down.
He looked at Lin Xiaomiao coldly, and he also felt that this scene was very ugly.
It was impossible for him to blame his son and nephew, he could only blame this little peasant girl, but he couldn't do anything about it.
The queen looked at this ugly scene, and inevitably thought of another, more difficult thing.
She pulled the emperor's sleeve robe, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this Yi'er still has a marriage contract with Jinyu, don't forget it." ”
It turned out that after the rebellion of King Jueyang was rehabilitated, in order to make up for the wrong case that year, the emperor married the favored lord of Jinyu to Duanmu Yi. In this way, Lin Xiaomiao, the wife of the chaff, can only go to court.
Because no matter what, Lin Xiaomiao is just a small peasant girl, and it is impossible for her to wronged the dignified county lord of Jinyu.
The emperor was stunned, but after the queen's reminder, he remembered such a thing.
He wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the three kneeling people in the hall, feeling a faint pain in his forehead.
The emperor pondered for a while, and finally coughed and said: "Since this is the case, I can't agree to Heng'er's request, but this Yun Tao's identity is always too low, and it is not suitable to become Yi'er's princess, Yun Tao, do you understand what I mean?" ”
The emperor's words had other meanings, Lin Xiaomiao nodded yes, how could she not understand, but she was just telling her that she was not worthy of Duanmuyi, so she gave up the position of Duanmuyi's wife as soon as possible.
"The folk girl understands."
"It's great that you understand. Heng'er, you should have thought about other rewards that I promised you, and as for Yun Tao, I will reward you with some treasures, which are all good things. ”
Duanmu Heng knew that after such a trouble, it was impossible for his father to give Lin Xiaomiao a marriage to him, so he could only thank Junen with an expressionless face.
And Lin Xiaomiao can only kowtow to thank Lord Longen.
This matter was never mentioned.
The palace banquet continued, but many people in the hall were not thinking about it.
Duanmu Heng looked unhappy and didn't say anything, Lin Xiaomiao also sat in his place coyly, looking at the delicacies in front of him in a daze.
