Chapter 224: Into the Water

Disappointment flashed in the emperor's eyes, he didn't tell the truth, as the emperor, he wanted to collect military power, but why was he in a hurry?

He, the emperor, is not in a hurry, what is he anxious about?

So much so that he even disregarded the righteousness of the country, Hongzhou is the land of Daliang, and the people living on it are the people of Daliang, and he blockaded Hongzhou, just like giving up his own land and people.

His father was so difficult during his lifetime, he was forced to Yangzhou by the Liao people, and when he saw that he was about to destroy the country, didn't he give up his people?

Ning martyrdom does not ignore the people, how many people have beaten down the country with flesh and blood, but he uses such a conspiracy to send out.

The most hateful thing is that he knows that he refuses to tell the truth at this time, if he clearly says that he is afraid of Zhong Ruying, and is afraid that Zhong Ruying will retaliate against him in the future, so he will strike first, although he will not agree, but he will not hate him so much.

The emperor closed his eyes in disappointment, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead, you have lost your honor in front of the palace, so you will close the door and think about it recently." ”

But he didn't say the date.

The second prince secretly glanced at his father's expression, his heart sank, he was silent for a moment, and then kowtowed and left.

The five ministers who were waiting for the emperor to be summoned in the small side hall couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw the guards escorting the second prince out, and they all had a plan in their hearts.

The second prince is afraid that it is really impossible.

But the second prince obviously didn't think so, he just thought about it behind closed doors, and when he came out, when this matter was cold, there was a chance.

When he walked outside the palace, he happened to meet Lin Qingwan, his eyes were slightly heavy, and he couldn't help but stop.

Lin Qingwan also stopped, but she curtsied, "The Lin clan greets His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

The second prince looked at her silently, and didn't scream, Lin Qingwan raised her eyebrows slightly, continued to bend her knees, and scolded in her heart, "Idiot." ”

After scolding, I heard a clear voice say: "Second brother, hey, my sister is also there?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, got up and turned to salute the person who came, "The Lin clan greets the fourth prince." ”

The fourth prince hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, and said with a smile: "Sister Yi is polite, we don't have to be so polite between brothers and sisters, but you entered the palace to greet the queen mother?" ”

"Yes."

"The queen mother is in the Imperial Garden, don't go to Kunning Palace, go directly to the Imperial Garden."

Lin Qingwan responded, smiled and bowed to the second prince and the fourth prince before retreating, the second prince stood still, and the fourth prince replied with a half-salute.

Seeing that the fourth prince had been staring at Lin Qingwan, the second prince said with a calm face: "The fourth prince is really caring, but unfortunately she is not only a widow, but also our sister-in-law, you are afraid that you will not have a chance." ”

The fourth prince frowned and said, "Second brother Shenyan, when did I have such thoughts about my sister-in-law?" ”

The second prince snorted, "Do you know best in your heart, I just remind you in vain." ”

Rao is fourth prince has always had a good temper, and at this time, he couldn't help but be angry, and his face was thin red and glared at the second prince.

The second prince left directly with his head tilted.

Lin Qingwan took Bai Mei straight to the Imperial Garden, and the little eunuch who led her way had a more crooked back, and said softly: "Niangniang rarely goes to the Imperial Garden, and usually deals with government affairs in the main hall, and only when the eldest princess takes the little sons into the palace will she go to the Imperial Garden to stay for a long time." ”

This is a reminder, Lin Qingwan smiled at him gratefully, and asked softly, "Where is the adult?" ”

The little eunuch bent down and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be the lord of His Royal Highness, the small one listens to the errand at the front gate of the palace, and he will run errands for the masters. ”

That's why he bothered so much to have a good relationship, judging from the frequency of Lin Qingwan's recent entry into the palace, there will be more times she will enter the palace in the future.

If the relationship is better, it will be easier to get along in the future.

Lin Qingwan smiled and asked his name, so she changed her name to Gonggong Cai, this little eunuch's name is Cai Ying, and he is one year younger than Lin Yubin.

Because of this, Lin Qingwan was very gentle with him.

Cai Ying saw that she knew his age and her voice was lowered three times, and the smile on her face was deeper, and a soft-hearted person would never be a very bad person.

Cai Ying led Lin Qingwan to Kunning Palace first, and only after making sure that the queen was in the imperial garden did she lead her to the imperial garden.

Seeing the queen's royal car from a distance, he knelt down and bowed and slowly retreated, not daring to step forward.

Lin Qingwan stopped and looked back at him bowing backwards.

Princess Yuanhua came over to greet her, and when she saw that she was looking at the little eunuch and not moving, she asked with a smile, "What's the matter, did he provoke you?" ”

"No," Lin Qingwan hurriedly said, "It's because I see that he is young, so I took two more looks." ”

She sighed: "He is a year younger than Yubin, and he is still a child." ”

Princess Yuanhua looked at her twice when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Are you soft-hearted?" That's a ......."

Princess Yuanhua didn't know what to say, but thinking of the things she had done over the years, she was soft-hearted in everything, even if she killed a lot of people when she resisted the homeless, she had persuaded many people to retreat before.

She tilted her head and looked at her, can such a person really participate in the competition for the throne?

Ruying won't cheat her, right?

Zhong Ruying didn't know if Princess Yuanhua Lin Qingwan was pitted, anyway, she was trapped, she didn't know the details of Princess Yuanhua, so she only smiled embarrassedly at her, and then went to ask the queen for peace.

Princess Yuanhua smiled and led her over.

The queen stuffed pastries into the hands of the three white dumplings-like grandsons, and smiled at the eldest Fu Qing: "Take your younger brothers down to play." ”

Fu Qing, who was already eight years old, stuffed the pastries into the hands of his second brother, took one in one hand and ran out.

Fu Feng was still angry, but when he saw that he could go to the garden to play, he suddenly happily forgot the pastries that were forced into his hands, and ran away excitedly.

Lin Qingwan smiled and watched them run away, and the queen asked with a smile, "What are you talking about, talking so lively?" ”

"It's said that my sister is soft-hearted," Princess Yuanhua smiled first: "The little eunuch who brought her here is only fourteen years old, so my sister looks distressed." ”

"It's a good thing to have compassion in your heart," the queen glanced behind her and sighed, "Why didn't you bring Yubin in, I still want to listen to her study, the book she read last time was very good." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled: "Yesterday they had a little girl on her birthday, so she played late, and she was still confused when I entered the palace." ”

The queen liked to watch and listen to the children playing, and she couldn't help laughing, "Then let her sleep a little longer, but next time you will have to bring her in." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled and responded "yes", and quipped: "Niangniang doesn't like me, but she loves her more, as if she is your righteous daughter." ”

The queen couldn't help laughing, "That's because she hurts people, like you ......"

She looked at them with disgust and said, "On weekdays, I only think about myself, and I can't even think of entering the palace if I have nothing to do, even if you enter the palace, it is so grinding." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "Niangniang has wronged me with this, I just received your will and I entered the palace to ask for peace, but I happened to meet the second prince in the previous dynasty, oh, and then the fourth prince also came, so I stood for a while." ”

The queen smiled and bowed slightly: "It's good to know that you are interested." ”

Princess Yuanhua lowered her eyes, and the second and fourth children both met Lin Qingwan?

When Lin Qingwan left the palace, Princess Yuanhua also took the three children to say goodbye to the queen.

The queen leaned on the soft couch, looked up at Princess Yuanhua, and said to the person behind her in a half-loud voice: "You take the young masters down to pack up some things first." ”

The subordinates hurriedly took the hands of the three little princes and went out, and the palace maids who were waiting beside the queen also retreated.

The queen looked at her daughter and said: "Yuan Hua, the affairs of the previous dynasty are solved by your father and brothers, you are a princess, just take care of the Fu family." ”

Princess Yuanhua squatted in front of the couch with a smile and held her hand, "Mother don't worry, I don't get involved in their affairs, I'm a princess, no matter what, they won't treat me badly." ”

The queen looked at her solemnly and said: "It's good that you know, whether it's the second, the fourth, or the fifth, or the sixth, you are the eldest daughter of your father, and they don't dare to treat you badly." ”

Princess Yuanhua responded with a smile.

"So you've stopped all those movements, right?"

Princess Yuanhua's body stiffened, raised her head and smiled: "What did mother say?" I've been doing a lot lately. ”

"Although Lin Qingwan is a little reckless, she is still a child, don't pull people into the water. She is young and soft-hearted, do you think she can follow you to fight for power and profit? The queen looked at her and said, "You've been paying too much attention to her lately. ”

"That's because she's my sister-in-law," Princess Yuanhua defended: "Mother, I didn't want to get involved in the competition of my brothers, I know that no matter who they ascend the throne, I am the eldest princess." ”

The queen stared at her for a long time before nodding slightly, "It's good that you know." ”

Princess Yuanhua smiled slightly, and only after comforting her mother did she get up and retreat, until she left Kunning Palace, the smile on her face fell slightly.

She glanced at her three sons and asked her servants to take them in another carriage and one for herself.

The children didn't mind, they happily climbed into the carriage, only the three of them were more comfortable, and the girls didn't dare to care about them.

Princess Yuanhua leaned against Chebi Mountain, stared at her fingers calmly, and only sneered halfway through, and said secretly: Whoever is the emperor is the eldest princess, but the treatment of the eldest princess is also divided into various situations, not to mention that she also has a husband and son.

The husband is indifferent to fame and fortune, but her son can't just stay in the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian like their father, they deserve better.

The second child, who values profit and is not affectionate, can call the doorman to warn her for the sake of a timber business, how can she expect him to treat her and her children well when he ascends the throne in the future?

What's more, she also has to consider her mother, when her mother was unwilling to adopt the second child, he had a grudge in his heart, knowing that he would not retaliate after ascending the throne of God?

It is too easy for an emperor to take revenge on a queen mother.

Lin Qingwan's heart is not ruthless enough, but she has enough means, and the most important thing is that she will make money, and the fourth child needs a lot of money to win the throne.

What's more, it wasn't she who pulled her into the water, but Ruying.
