Zhao Kuangyan has been on the expedition for more than a month, and he should go to the vicinity of Taoli Town even if he calculates the distance, but the journey of the army is slower than that of a single person, so Lin Qingqing is not sure, and plans to write a letter to ask about the situation.

The big-eyed maid had just spread out the rice paper, and the ink was only halfway through the study, when the maid serving in the flower hall came to pass the word, saying that the palace had sent a father-in-law to see the girl.

For more than a month, Lin Qingqing has never left the house to avoid right and wrong, but sooner or later, he will come, and he can't hide from it.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked the big-eyed maid to go to the flower hall to serve her father-in-law carefully to eat tea, and then took a heavy purse to her, saying that her father-in-law would accept it if he was willing to accept it, and if he didn't want to, don't force it, just serve it wholeheartedly.

She stood in front of the rhombic mirror and let the maid change her clothes.

This time into the imperial city, the road ahead is bleak, I am afraid that there is more danger than joy, if you really want to die there, there is no hurry for a while.

After cleaning up, she gathered the broken hair between her sideburns and moved to the flower hall.

The father-in-law did not look impatient at all, and sat on the sandalwood chair very steadily and drank tea.

There was a maid to open the curtain, and Lin Qingqing walked in with Shi Shiran, and the big-eyed maid was laughing with him.

When the father-in-law saw Lin Qingqing, a trace of surprise flashed in front of him, and then he changed his smiling face like a human spirit, stood up and saluted, "No wonder the queen often thinks about it, the girl is really a fairy character." ”

The big-eyed maid stood behind him, and her hand almost invisibly pulled out a red cloth from her sleeve, which was the purse that Lin Qingqing gave her just now.

Lin Qingqing wasn't sure what the father-in-law's attitude was, and he didn't accept his purse, which could be seen as his dedication to his duties and not a greedy person for small profits, but it could also be seen that he was just unwilling to reveal a word to a dying person.

Her eyes darkened, and she greeted her, "This cold hasn't passed yet, if you dare to work on your father-in-law, you just need to send someone to inform you." ”

The father-in-law also ate her flattery, and the smile on his face was even stronger, "The queen's decree, it is better to come in person, the girl should go with our family." ”

In fact, I had expected such a conversation, but Lin Qingqing couldn't help but feel cold when he heard it, and glanced at the round-faced girl on the side, and said with a smile: "Yes, father-in-law, but do you see if I still have to freshen up, so as not to stain the queen's phoenix eyes." ”

In fact, she had already dressed up carefully before she came, and this time she was just to tell the big-eyed maid a few words, and if something happened to her, there was no backbone in the inner courtyard.

"Girl, let's go with our family now, the queen is waiting for you." The father-in-law had already walked to the door, lifted the curtain, and made a gesture of invitation.

This is clearly a man-made knife and I am a fish, Lin Qingqing took a deep breath.

The round-faced girl took advantage of the situation to help her, and heard her whisper in her ear: "If I can't come back today, and there is no news, you don't have to wait for me, everything is as usual in the courtyard." ”

Her voice paused slightly, and the back was resolute, as if she had made a great determination, "Wait for Kuangyan to come back, tell him that you don't have to wait for me, the sky is high and the sea is wide and I will go by myself, so I won't wait for him." ”

The big-eyed maid looked slightly stunned, and saw that she had already left the flower hall, and hurriedly ran a few steps to put a cloak on her shoulder, "Girl, I will remember, but you must also take care." There was a choked up in his tone.

Lin Qingqing turned around and smiled at her, "You can rest assured." ”

There were already two soft sedan chairs outside the door of Zhao Kuangyan's mansion, and the father-in-law smiled and invited her to sit on one of them, swaying all the way, but she could feel that this was not entering from the main entrance, and she didn't dare to think about the deep meaning.

As soon as she settled down at the palace gate, the father-in-law opened the sedan curtain and stretched out a hand to greet her, "Girl, come down, and then go inside to the palace." ”

Lin Qingqing put his hand on the back of his hand, "Thank you, father-in-law", but he didn't dare to say more, so he just hung his head quietly.

The father-in-law walked in front of him, entering and exiting several palace gates, and when he saw that she really didn't say a word, he couldn't help but laugh first, "Girl, you are too cautious." ”

Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old boat, Lin Qingqing didn't even dare to look at the palace maids who walked by, and lowered his head to laugh, "Father-in-law, the imperial city is solemn and majestic, I don't understand the rules, and I ask my father-in-law to mention more." As she spoke, she took a few quick steps and pulled out a purse from her sleeve.

The father-in-law pushed her purse, but his expression was very happy, and he looked around, and when he saw that no one was passing by, he whispered: "Girl, don't worry, Your Highness the Sixth has already explained before the expedition, everything girl doesn't have to be afraid, but she may have to be patient." ”

A flash of surprise flashed between Lin Qingqing's eyebrows, and then turned into a faint smile, Zhao Kuangyan is such a person who prepares for a rainy day, how could he put her alone in Taihe without preparation.

"Yes, thank you, father-in-law." She was slightly blessed.

The princess held up her arm, "The girl is really polite." ”

Passing through the majestic palace, the wide palace road, stopping in front of a magnificent courtyard, there are palace maids who see it from afar and lead the two directly in.

Lin Qingqing still hung his head, the appearance of his father-in-law, and his knees were buried very deep, "The grass people see the queen's mother." ”

She didn't dare to look up for a long time, and the atmosphere in the palace was extremely cold.

The woman on the chaise longue reclined on the cushion, her eyes were slightly closed, and she let the palace maid beat her legs, and her hands were patted on her legs without a match, which was full of style.

She chuckled to herself, "Look, I forgot there were anybody." With a wave of her hand, the palace maid who was beating her legs stepped back and stood aside with her hands down, but she didn't mean to let Lin Qing clear up.

Lin Qingqing only felt a pair of sharp eyes looking back and forth on him, and a numbness that was as dense as a needle prick followed.

"Ouch, no wonder Kuangyan can see it, it's a bit of a posture." The woman on the couch gathered the decoration in the hair room, "Raise your head, let me see it clearly." ”

Lin Qingqing raised his head slightly, but his eyelids were lowered, and his white face was bloodless.

"The appearance is still worthy of our Kuangyan." The woman pointed at her and smiled at the old lady on the side, but soon the laughter turned into a question, "But the royal nobles don't pick concubines based on their appearance, can't I stay with the people with bad intentions by the side of the Sixth Highness?" ”

Lin Qingqing didn't dare to look at her directly, but he could hear a smiling contempt in her tone, and looked over through the afterglow.

The woman on the chaise longue looked like she was forty or fifty years old, with a pair of eyes with the tails of her eyes raised upward, all revealing fine light, and a green silk hair was rolled into a peony bun, smeared with a layer of light powder, and dark red lip grease.

Age not only did not discount her beauty in the slightest, but also added her an experience of experiencing the world and gaining insight into people's hearts.

Now that he knew who Zhao Yi's eyebrows were following, Lin Qingqing quickly buried his head again.

The woman on the couch had already noticed the subtle change in her expression, and her lips pursed slightly, "You don't have to pretend to know the general situation here, I will tell you clearly today, Kuang Yan will not marry you as a concubine, he will suppress a Ling family for you, and there are thousands of weaknesses, if you know each other, you are willing to be a concubine, and I will help you say some good things when you give birth to a boy and half a girl, and raise you to be a side concubine." ”
