Chapter 108: The Dust Has Settled
The empress at this moment is very confused......
To choose, not to choose, and who to choose? are all big questions.
But the empress asked herself, if she had to choose someone, then she hoped that this person would be Lin Zifan!
However, if you want to say that the empress likes Lin Zifan, it must not be able to talk about it, let alone love.
After all, the two have not known each other for a long time, and at the beginning, it was just because of Lin Zifan's 'filial piety', joining the army for his mother, and his ability to make sanitary napkins as 'strategic materials' that he looked up to him.
With the subsequent contact, Lin Zifan has emerged, whether it is underwear, saltpeter ice, or what he does today, it is slowly proving that he is indeed a talent.
This also made the empress pay more and more attention to Lin Zifan, but it was only important.
Like? Love?
The empress is not a simple little girl, otherwise it would not be possible to sit on the throne for so many years, although she has no love between men and women, no experience in love, but not everyone can cheat her casually.
If you really want to use one word to describe the empress's feelings for Lin Zifan, maybe ...... Favor is the most appropriate word.
In the eyes of the empress, all of them are crooked melons and cracked dates, and there are spicy eyes. But Lin Zifan ...... At least the empress felt that she would not resist too much.
If you really have to choose someone......
The empress looked at the civil and military officials, their eyes were complicated in anticipation, and some people expressed their unhappiness, such as 'General Hua'......
Then, she slowly spoke in the face of the anxious, excited, depressed eyes of the envoys and sons of various countries, as well as Lin Zifan's fiery gaze......
"I Choose...... Lin Zifan!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Lin Zifan smiled.
This self-recommendation, fortunately, was successful, whether it was for the task or for yourself, it is a thing worth being happy and celebrating!
Envoys: "......"
Boys: "......"
Their expressions instantly dimmed, the excitement and complexity on their faces disappeared, and in the end, they could only sigh faintly, just because all this was a foregone conclusion!
Many people are scolding their mothers in their hearts, and they have scolded Lin Zifan's ancestors for eighteen generations thousands of times, but this is useless, the empress is full of words, and no one can change it!
And the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty have different expressions.
There are happy people, such as a group of people led by important ministers such as the national teacher and General Huo, they just simply hope that the empress can settle this matter soon, but they have a matter on their minds, as for who the other party is, it doesn't really matter.
As long as they are not big traitors, they don't want to ask.
Lin Zifan is still a person from the Tang Dynasty, and he knows the roots, relatively speaking, he is more pleasing to the eye than those sons and brothers, and they naturally have no opinions.
But the few people led by General Hua are in a very complicated mood, very complicated!
They once fought in the court in order to let the empress marry Lin Zifan to themselves, and even Fang Cai did not give up the idea of marrying Lin Zifan home.
As a result, now the empress suddenly said that she had a crush on Lin Zifan and wanted him to be the prince? The depression and entanglement in their hearts were simply indescribable.
The other group of people is an out-and-out 'opposition', led by the elder and others, who already have a lot of complaints about Lin Zifan, and they are even more dissatisfied at the moment.
But it's just dissatisfaction, everyone knows that the Empress Fang Cai is already very unhappy, and if they dare to oppose it again at this moment, they will definitely not be pleased.
For the sake of a courtier, there are times when he can be appropriately tough, but if it is repeated again and again...... It must not live long!
The matter is settled......
The empress chose Lin Zifan as her future 'prince', and as for getting married or something, it naturally takes a certain amount of time to prepare.
How long does this preparation time take, how to hold it, how to hold it, and what is the auspicious day of the zodiac, are all matters of the Ministry of Rites, of course, in the end, it is necessary for the empress to nod.
However, since the empress has already expressed her position in front of so many people, as long as there are no big accidents, there will be no changes.
However, Lin Zifan also knew very well that this was just a statement by the empress.
Even from a certain point of view, he can be regarded as the empress's shield, but he is more pleasing to the eye than those sons and brothers......
Therefore, the marriage in the future is likely to be delayed again and again, and it may be delayed for a long time.
But it doesn't matter, Lin Zifan is confident that in the next period of time, the empress will have a stronger and stronger impression of herself, and finally, fall in love with herself!
When the time comes, getting married or something, isn't it easy to get caught?
"I don't believe it, a three-good young man in the twenty-first century can't be a woman in ancient times!" Lin Zifan hummed to himself.
Although strictly speaking, he is a virgin in both worlds, but this does not prevent Lin Zifan from watching so many romantic dramas and short videos of people sprinkling, has he never eaten pork, and has he never seen a pig run?
It was getting late, and the empress's birthday banquet came to an end.
And what the envoys and sons of various countries have been looking forward to day and night seems to have settled at present.
Therefore, there was no need for them to stay in the Imperial Garden any longer, and out of politeness, they stayed a little longer, but all of them were depressed and not in the slightest interest.
In the evening, they said goodbye one after another, indicating their departure.
The dust has settled, what are you still doing here?
The empress gladly allowed for their departure, and she didn't have the slightest idea of leaving them for dinner, and even the civil and military officials were driven back by the empress.
In the words of the empress, there is not much food in the palace, and she can't afford to support so many people!
But in fact, it was the empress who was 'poor and afraid', so she was very picky, of course, the civil and military officials also understood this, and they all smiled bitterly and said goodbye.
"What's that......"
At this moment, Lin Zifan jumped out and said to the people who were about to leave: "You have come from thousands of miles away, as the person in charge of this banquet, you are really not well entertained, and I hope you will forgive me......"
You still know that hospitality is not good!
The envoys and sons of various countries all looked at Lin Zifan, and their eyes were almost spewing fire.
Recall that from the food of the dead in the pit, to the poetry, to the splashing of foot water, and finally jumped out to stir up the matter of the empress's election of the 'prince', it was Lin Zifan who did it!
Now, they grabbed Lin Zifan and asked, "Why are you everywhere,!"
If everyone is asked to choose one person now, they will never see each other again in this life, and they will definitely choose Lin Zifan without hesitation!
It's so infuriating!
However, Lin Zifan was still smiling, as if he was in a good mood, and said: "So, this official has prepared a gift for you, remember to take a ...... when you leave."
