East Palace.

In the courtyard in front of the palace, a few peach blossoms are in full bloom, and under the pink petals, women often sit in Luo clothes, or taste tea or play the piano, so uncomfortable.

The prince was sitting under the peach blossoms at this time.

Du Lingling knelt in front of the prince and couldn't cry, "My father thought that the courtiers had destroyed the lintel and wanted to drive the courtiers out of the house, but the courtiers didn't know where to go. ”

The prince asked, "Then how can you save you?" ”

Du Lingling choked up and said: "If the prince takes it in, the courtiers are willing to be cattle and horses, slaves and maids, in order to repay the prince's favor." ”

The prince sighed, "At that time on the street, those bandits originally came for Lone, but unfortunately they arrested you. It's just that Lone has blocked the news and won't let anyone say your name, no one should know, why does your father still think that you have ruined the lintel and are aggressive? ”

Du Lingling said: "Perhaps, this is the life of the courtier." ”

The prince said, "Get up first." ”

Du Lingling said: "If the prince is unwilling to take in the courtiers, the courtiers will not get up. ”

The prince said, "Why do you have to do this, you are not short of slaves and maids, so you will not be taken in as slaves and maids." ”

Du Lingling said: "Today on the street, the people have seen the courtiers come to the prince, if the prince drives the courtiers back like this, the courtiers will no longer be alive without a face." ”

The prince said, "You are an innocent girl, why do you want to practice yourself like this? ”

Du Lingling said: "If the prince does not dislike it, the courtiers are willing to serve the prince, although they are not as good as the princess, they must be loyal." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the prince with a pair of pitiful eyes.

The prince took a closer look at Du Lingling, although he was not very beautiful, but he was also born with a gentle and calm temperament, and he spoke and acted in an orderly manner, and this time, he was indeed responsible.

"You go back, and after three days, I will ask to marry you." The prince said.

Du Lingling was pleasantly surprised, why did this man fall so quickly?

"The prince is serious!"

"Lone never breaks his word, especially to women." The prince handed Du Lingling a token, "This token is proof." ”

Du Lingling hurriedly took it, overjoyed, "Thank you, prince." ”

"You don't have to thank Gu, or, this is your fate with Gu." The prince looked into the distance, thoughtful.

When Du Lingling left, Lin Zhongchao walked in, and the two passed by.

"Father, Du Lingling looked happy just now, what did you promise her?" Lin Zhongchao was wearing a bright black dress, with a red cloud embroidered on his chest, and two yellow gold stickers embroidered on the neckline. The lower body is a dark pair of pants, with a faint worry.

The prince's gaze was still fixed on the distant sky, and after a while, the prince sighed and said, "Chao'er, it's been ten years since your mother left. ”

Lin Zhongchao nodded, "Yes." ”

"Ten years of life and death, when she was seriously ill and died, the most concerned thing was you, Chao'er. Your mother told me to take good care of you. The prince said, "You have been frail and sickly since birth, and if it had not been for your mother's hard work in taking care of you, you would have been very unlucky at that time." ”

Lin Zhongchao's eyes were filled with a layer of crystal, "Don't say it, father." Unfortunately, the child has no chance to repay his mother's kindness. ”

Even if he could be born again, he would still be a child without a mother.

"Go see your mother." The crown prince walked to the corner of the East Palace.

That corner is the funeral hall of the crown princess.

The inside and outside of the mourning hall are all new green, and on several locust trees surrounded by one person, there is a layer of new green floating on top of a dark green. On the guardrail, there are also a few wisps of green, quietly blooming.

Lin Zhongchao followed the prince in, with mixed feelings.

Regarding the crown princess, Lin Zhongchao doesn't have much memory, but his mother's warm embrace is unforgettable.

Why did the crown princess suddenly fall ill and die at a young age, this is something Lin Zhongchao wants to investigate, but he already knows if he doesn't want to investigate.

It wasn't Lin Feng who did it, it was Emperor Qingfeng.

These people exterminated the so-called princelings. Otherwise, how could Lin Zhongchao lose his mother.

At this time, the prince touched the spiritual position of the crown princess and cried: "Don't hate me, for so many years, I have always been the only one with you, but if you don't save Du Lingling, Du Lingling's reputation will be ruined and driven out of the Du family." There is no way to be lonely. However, Lone would not touch her. The lonely body belongs only to you. ”

Lin Zhongyue felt that something was wrong the more he heard it, "Father, what did you say?" ”

The prince nodded, "That's right, Gu is going to marry Du Lingling." ”

"Father, don't fall for the Du family's strategy." Lin Zhong was in a hurry, "If my father is lonely, I must find a crown princess, and I must not marry the daughter of the Du family!" Because, the Du family has a huge conspiracy! ”

The prince said: "Chao'er, it is impossible for my father to watch an innocent woman's name ruined and driven out of the house. Don't say it again, my father has already promised Du Lingling. ”

Lin Zhongchao smiled bitterly, "No wonder Du Lingling was so happy when she left, it turned out that my father was still deceived by her." ”

"Chao'er, don't say that, Lone is so old, Du Lingling doesn't dislike it, what is Du Lingling? It's that you're thinking too much. The prince said, "However, Lone will not touch her, Lone just wants to save her, and Lone will always belong to your mother alone." ”

Lin Zhongchao knew that since the prince had already made a decision, it was useless to persuade him.

"Father, I'm afraid that Du Lingling will get the title of the crown princess and set off a storm in the East Palace."

"Nonsense, Du Lingling is not the kind of woman who can tell right and wrong." The prince still has a good impression of Du Lingling.

That kind of good feeling, in addition to pity for a woman, is also a psychological worship that has not had a woman's comfort for many years.

Du Fu.

The purple morning glory climbed higher and higher, along a piece of Taihu Lake stone, and climbed to the top of the wall. And the nearby moon flowers were also hung with branches overnight.

Du Lingling said: "Father, the prince has already agreed. ”

Du Yunli said appreciatively: "My daughter, sure enough, there is a different reaction. ”

Du Jianbo said with a smile: "I don't need my brother to make a move, my sister is so smart." ”

Du Lingling said: "It's just that father, no matter whether the crown prince is hired or not, the dowry still has to be richer, after all, this is the position of the crown princess, and Du Fu has directly become a relative of the emperor." ”

Du Yunli nodded, "That's natural, how can I treat my daughter badly, half of all the Grange shops are yours!" ”

Du Lingling hurriedly thanked and left, Du Jianbo was a little unhappy: "Father, Du Mansion has not had much silver to support Lin Junsheng all these years. ”
