Palace.

In the garden, a few cold plum trees are dotted, but the whole garden is full of plum fragrance. Under the Jiuqu Bridge, the withered lotus leaves have disappeared, and the fish have no place to chase and play, and they are much quieter. A ray of sunlight sneaked in through the cracks in the window lattice, illuminating the whole room. Inside the room, the red table top has darkened a little, which is the traces left by the years.

Emperor Qingfeng was lying on the dragon couch, with a piece of cloth wrapped around his forehead, and deliberately lay down and pretended to be sick.

The four princes stood in front of Emperor Qingfeng with trembling all over their bodies.

"You unproductive, I asked you to frame Lin Zhongchao, you actually married Wang Zuoyun yourself. Have you forgotten that you are already engaged to Du Lingling? Before your wife entered the door, you accepted a concubine, and Du Lingling was afraid that she would not want to marry you! "Now, Emperor Qingfeng only has the four princes by his side, even if the four princes are dull, Emperor Qingfeng will patiently explain to him.

Helpless, the four princes just didn't open their minds, "Your Majesty, Lin Zhongchao said that if I don't marry Wang Zuoyun, I will kill my son, and my son's ministers can't help it, and Wang Zuoyun is also a virgin no matter what he says." ”

"It's useless! It seems that you have thoughts about Wang Zuoyun! "Emperor Qingfeng was so disappointed.

The fourth prince said: "I have no idea, it's just that Erchen hasn't had a woman for a long time, how long will it take to wait for Du Lingling, Erchen can't wait, so I'll find a woman to comfort me first." ”

Emperor Qingfeng said, "Are you still willing to marry you in the future?" Is the Du family easy to bully? ”

"Hmph, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, why wouldn't Du Lingling want to?"

Emperor Qingfeng shook his head, "Du Yunli just played a fold, saying that you have poor morality and asked to withdraw from the marriage." ”

What the? The eyes of the four princes widened, "Du Yunli dares?" ”

"What is he afraid of, and what are you? A prince who has no future, how can Du Fu marry his daughter? Emperor Qingfeng said, "You only have one way now, that is, to fight hard with Lin Zhongchao, but unfortunately, you can't beat Lin Zhongchao, so you can only wait for death." ”

"Waiting to die? Father, Lin Zhongchao said that he would not kill his sons. The four princes didn't believe it.

"Do you believe Lin Zhongchao's words? If Lin Zhongchao will let you go, Lin Feng will not leave. Lin Zhongchao wanted to kill all the princes and grandsons, so that his father could dominate alone. ”

The fourth prince was frightened, "Really? However, Lin Zhongchao didn't kill any prince. ”

"Of course not, or you're going to strike first? If all of you princes join forces and strike first, Lin Zhongchao will be defeated. ”

Emperor Qingfeng simply bragged about not making drafts, but there were even people who listened.

The four princes believed it, "The ministers there will immediately go and unite the princes, Lin Zhongchao will be defeated!" ”

Du Fu.

In the garden, the cold of deep winter froze almost everything. The inscription on the fence of the stone bridge is also almost falling off. The surface of the water is quiet, there is not a trace of waves, and the bottom of the water is as silent as nothing. In the attic, a gust of cold wind leaked through the window, shaking the landscape paintings on the walls of the house. It was cold in the house, there was no stove and no thick bedding. Sitting at a desk and reading a book is not an easy thing to do.

Du Lingling was wearing a vermilion long-sleeved shirt, which was a light blue mandarin duck embroidered undershirt, and the sleeves were embroidered with some golden ripples. On the lower half of his body, wearing a pair of vermilion pants and a pair of embroidered shoes on his feet, he was quietly embroidering a chrysanthemum, and his father Du Yunli walked over.

"Lingling, I have already written to the emperor to cancel the marriage contract for you! I don't believe that you can't get married, but you want to marry such a wreck, and you don't care about your face, you will take a concubine before you get married. Du Yunli shook his head, "If the emperor doesn't agree, he has to agree!" “

"Of course, how can my precious sister marry such a wreck! If you want to marry, of course, you will marry the best man in the world. Du Jianbo didn't know where he came from.

He was wearing a tan undershirt with a round neckline tucked in, revealing a white neck, and outside, he wore a pipa placket jacket embroidered with peonies, and a string of pomegranates embroidered on the surface of the jacket, which was very festive.

"Boll is right." Du Yunli sat down, looked at Du Lingling's embroidery, and said proudly, "Lingling has no mother since she was a child, but this embroidery is self-taught, and it is as good as your mother's embroidery." ”

"If you want me to say, my sister's embroidery is even better than my mother's!" Du Jianbo said and sat opposite Du Lingling, "Look, my sister is the best woman in the capital!" “

"What's wrong with my brother today! I'm so embarrassed to say that I'm so embarrassed to boast that my sister is here. Du Lingling's mind was quite clear, "There must be something, I want my sister to help, right?" ”

Du Jianbo said: "My sister is wrong! I really think my sister deserves to get out of the marriage. ”

"I'm afraid that the emperor won't agree." Du Yunli said, "Lingling is such a girl, which family's son doesn't like it, the fourth prince is also a man, and he hasn't married at such an old age, so he doesn't like it." ”

Du Lingling said: "Daughters listen to their fathers. ”

Du Jianbo said: "The emperor doesn't agree, when the time comes, my sister only cares about marrying herself, can the emperor still stop it?" The four princes couldn't stop it even more. Besides, the four princes have no reason to stop them. Who let the four princes do ugly things themselves. ”

The fourth prince accepted Wang Zuoyun as his aunt, Wang Zuoyun made a fuss in front of Lin Zhongchao's mansion and said that it would become a slander if she ruined her innocence, and the people would only think that the four princes and Wang Zuoyun had given each other privately, Wang Zuoyun himself was not decent, how could he be convincing to persuade Lin Zhongchao to be lustful?

"This is indeed a solution, it seems that I am going to pick a good candidate for a son-in-law for Lingling." Du Yunli took a sip of tea and said.

Du Jianbo said: "The best man in the capital is Lin Zhongchao, unfortunately, Lin Zhongchao has already had a sweetheart, but how can a man have only one wife and concubine, if the younger sister is willing to be small, you can consider Lin Zhongchao, if you are not willing to be small, the prince is also a good candidate." ”

"What? Prince? Du Yunli and Du Lingling asked in surprise in unison.

The sun peeked out of the clouds, and the warm sunlight shone obliquely into the market, pulling the trees on the side of the road to the ground for a long time, and the black shadows had more charm than the trees themselves, attracting a few birds to jump around in the shadows.

Du Jianbo looked at the sun and said: "The crown princess has been gone for a long time, the prince is alone, if you marry my sister, although it is a continuation now, but in the future, it may be the queen." If our Du family can produce a queen, it will really glorify the ancestors. Besides, the prince is a gentleman, and he can be said to be a good person who entrusts his sister with her life. ”
