346 The Three Princes
Lin Su's hateful words made Si Yue couldn't help laughing, he reached out and gently stroked Lin Su's hand, and said in a low voice: "That third prince of Qiu Lunguo is already twenty-seven this year, and he is married to a stepwife, no matter what, I will not marry my daughter." ”
Lin Su nodded, and then looked at Si Yue: "Is the concubine too selfish...... As a princess, Ah Ling enjoys the worship of her subjects......"
Si Yue held Lin Su's hand tightly, "Even if it's selfish, let's be selfish together!" He hugged Lin Su, "Ah Ling is our daughter, how can I be willing to let her marry a man who is almost twenty years older than her, and go to a foreign country at a young age." ”
He sighed slightly, and then continued: "But Su'er's proposal just now may not be a good idea, maybe I should really find a woman of the right age in the families of those ministers who are in favor of harmony, and give her the status of a princess to make peace with Qiu Lunguo." ”
He snorted coldly, "Let them also taste the separation of father and daughter!" ”
The topic of harmony seems to have come to a conclusion, but after that, Si Yue did not really mention the intention of promoting the daughter of a certain minister's family to a princess, because the envoy of Qiu Lunguo entered Beijing, so this summer vacation was just a month and everyone followed back to the palace. The palace is still a little hotter than the palace, but it is better because it has a sufficient supply of ice.
As soon as Lin Su came back, he was busy sorting out the various matters of the Fuliu Hall and settling the other concubines. I went to ask the Empress Dowager Zhao to say goodbye that night, as for Zhou Shuxian, he is still the queen anyway, and the problem of face has to be talked about in the past.
Zhou Shuxian didn't even have a bulge in her abdomen, she looked like she was carefully holding her lower back, and she regained arrogance when she spoke.
She looked at Lin Su coldly, and said with a smile: "The envoy of Qiu Lunguo came to the court, and the palace heard that the three princes of Qiu Lunguo came over together, saying that they wanted to ask for a kiss. As she spoke, she looked at Lin Su, who was sitting on her right hand, "Now there is no princess of the right age in the palace, and only the eldest princess under the imperial concubine is the oldest, I think in order to avoid war between the two countries, as well as future currency trade, the emperor should make a choice......
Lin Su's expression did not change, and he said calmly: "The princess is worshiped by the people, she eats and wears, and the silk and satin on her body are worshiped by the people. If she marries the kingdom of Qiu Lun to avoid the war between the two countries and bring good news to the people, then this is what she should do as a princess. ”
Her attitude made Zhou Shuxian feel as if she had punched the cotton hard, and she was indescribably uncomfortable. She sneered and said, "The imperial concubine is well aware of righteousness. ”
Lin Su replied with a smirk without concession and said, "No matter what, the concubines all look forward to the emperor." If the emperor needs Ah Ling to make peace, then the concubines will never have a word of complaint. She got up as she spoke, "Speaking of Ah Ling, these days the concubine is teaching her to be a female red, and now it's almost time to check her." The concubine retired first. ”
She got up and left together, and the other harem concubines also got up in twos and threes to say goodbye, and Wei Tiantian even caught up with Lin Su.
"Mother, mother! Please wait. Wei Tiantian hurriedly followed, and saw Lin Su standing at the intersection waiting for her, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The concubine heard that the sour plum soup there is particularly heat-relieving, I don't know if I am lucky enough to taste it?" ”
"If you don't dislike it, let's go together. I have some new tea leaves from the Snow Mountain Fog Lotus, and you can also taste them by the way. Lin Su responded with a smile, glanced at Wang Liulian who turned into another road, his gaze was slightly darker, and then he turned around and walked towards the direction of Fuliu Hall while talking and laughing with Wei Tiantian.
As soon as they entered the Fuliu Hall and sat down, Xia He and Xia Lian immediately served cold sour plum soup. Wei Tiantian looked left and right, and saw that there was no inappropriate person, so the concubine spoke: "Niangniang, is it true that the matter of kissing?" ”
Lin Su nodded, "This matter, when I just went to the palace to escape the summer a month ago, the emperor mentioned it to me. It's just that because it's about the government, I didn't mention it to you. ”
"The eldest princess?" Wei Tiantian glanced at Lin Su worriedly, "Could it be that the emperor really can't bear it...... That's his daughter......"
Lin Su looked at her and knew in her heart that she was thinking of her third princess. So he smiled and reassured her, "This matter is still inconclusive, so don't worry too much." Even if it's me, it's just a little more preparation. Could it be that it is really to the point where we must be close, and we, the women of the harem, can still stop the emperor and prevent the princess from leaving the palace? ”
She smiled wryly.
Wei Tiantian was stunned for a moment, and then said bitterly: "Niangniang is right......
After drinking a pot of sour plum soup, Lin Su asked Xia Yan to send Wei Tiantian away, and then she got up and went to the house where Ah Ling lived, and saw Ah Ling sitting quietly on the side embroidering simple patterns, Lin Su smiled and walked over and sat beside Ah Ling.
"Mother, why are you here?" Ah Ling jumped up in surprise, completely losing her previous peaceful appearance. There was a glimmer of light in her dark eyes, and Lin Su's heart became sour when she looked at it.
The matter of harmony is not decided for a day, and she, as a mother, cannot feel at ease for a day. No matter how tough she was in front of Zhou Shuxian, and how safe she was in front of Wei Tiantian, she still couldn't deceive herself.
How could she be willing to marry her well-behaved, lovely, smart and lively daughter to Qiu Lunguo?
Lin Su stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair on Ah Ling's cheeks, and said with a smile: "Remember that when you learn to make sachets, you will make one for your father and send it over." Your father loved the fragrance and taste. ”
"But my embroidery is not very good...... Ah Ling hesitated a little, "Mother, why do you want to ...... in a hurry?"
"This is your heart, no matter how the embroidery is, your father must be happy to see it." Lin Su smiled and touched Ah Ling's forehead, "The more he likes you, the more time you can stay by your mother's side." ”
Ah Ling didn't understand what Lin Su meant, but she still smiled and said, "Then my daughter will start making sachets today." When the time comes, give one to my mother and one to my father. ”
After resting for two more days, Qiu Lunguo's envoys finally officially met the saint, and as the imperial concubine, Lin Su also had to accompany him. She stood to the left of Si Yue, while Zhou Shuxian stood on the right. Seeing the envoys getting closer and closer, a pair of eyes subconsciously looked for the so-called three princes in the crowd of the envoys......
If Ah Ling has to get married, at least she has to see what kind of person the third prince who proposed marriage is...... If he is not a good match, even if she tries to make Si Yue unhappy, she will ruin the possibility of getting married!
