"It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to talk to you, my mother doesn't allow me to leave the palace during this time, I haven't seen you and Wei Ming for a long time, and I don't know how he is." Li Lin said.

"Why doesn't Concubine Wan allow you to leave the palace?" Yao asked.

"Not only does the concubine not allow me to leave the palace, but she also doesn't allow me to see you, she ......"

Realizing that she had said too much, Li Lin immediately shut up and hurriedly changed her words with a smile, "Actually, it's not that serious, the mother concubine is still worried about my safety, so she won't allow me to leave the palace, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"You're lying." Ah Yao debunks Li Lin.

"I ......"

"It's Concubine Wan who won't allow you to go out of the palace to see me, right?"

Li Lin hung her head in silence.

"Concubine Wan was angry with me because of what happened last time, so you are not allowed to associate with me, right?"

Li Lin didn't answer.

She didn't speak, which confirmed the guess in Ah Yao's heart.

A-Yao patted the back of Li Lin's hand, "You don't have to be embarrassed, since Concubine Wan won't let you have anything to do with me, then you won't come to me again in the future, I won't blame you." ”

"But I ......"

Li Lin raised her eyes to look at her, "I don't want to see you, we are good friends." ”

She smiled at Li Lin and comforted her softly: "After a while, Concubine Wan won't be angry, you can come to me again." ”

"But I don't think the concubine will be deflated."

Ah Yao frowned slightly, "Why do you say that?" ”

"After that day, the mother was very angry and said a lot of things to me, she had never been like this before."

Concubine Wan is getting more and more abnormal!

"Is there anything else she is doing abnormally?" Yao asked.

Li Lin recalled carefully, "She often went to visit the third brother, and every time she was there for a long time, and she didn't know what she said to the third brother. ”

"Today's Chinese New Year's Eve reunion family banquet, will your third brother come?"

Li Lin shook her head, "Since the third brother got a strange illness, he has never left his room, and he will not attend any banquet in the palace." ”

According to Li Lin, the third prince has long been seriously ill, so how did he learn martial arts?

The three princes and concubines seem to have a lot of secrets hidden.

She quietly set her eyes on Li Lin, who did not hide anything from her and treated her sincerely.

If one day, she really turns against Concubine Wan, how should she face Li Lin?

"Fourth princess, let's not meet easily in the future."

Li Lin looked at her puzzled, "A-Yao, what are you talking about?" ”

"Concubine Wan won't let you see me, naturally there is a reason for her, as Concubine Wan's daughter, you should listen to her."

"Ah Yao......"

"I'm going in, the fourth princess is at your own convenience."

"Ah Yao......"

Instead of embarrassing Li Lin in the future, it is better to draw a line with Li Lin now.

Ah Yao entered the banquet hall, and the singing and dancing in the hall continued, and everyone was staggered, and their faces were full of smiles.

Ah Yao sat down next to Rong Qianhan.

Rong Qianhan put down his wine glass and turned his head to look at her, "Are you okay?" ”

"Hmm."

Rong Qianhan stretched out his hand to her.

Ah Yao looked at him puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

"Give it to the king."

The emperor, concubines, and princes are all sitting here, isn't it good to hold hands in front of so many people?

Just when A-Yao hesitated, Rong Qianhan took her hand and brought her to the emperor.

Ah Yao's mind was a little dazed.

Rong Qianhan took the lead in saluting the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this king has come to the banquet this time, and there is something important to say. ”

The song and dance retreated, and the hall fell silent instantly.

From the hands held by the two, everyone guessed what Rong Qianhan wanted to say.

The emperor showed a little displeasure and reluctantly spoke, "What do you want to say?" ”

"This king wants to marry Ayao as his wife, and I hope the emperor agrees."

The hall was silent for a moment, so quiet that only the sound of each other's heartbeats could be heard.

Everyone didn't react much, and looked at the emperor together.

In everyone's opinion, Ah Yao's marriage to Rong Qianhan is a marriage between Dongli and Southern Xinjiang, which is a good thing for the two countries, and the emperor has no reason to refuse.

Just when everyone thought that the emperor would agree, the emperor asked Ah Yao, "Ah Yao, have you thought clearly?" ”

"Hmm."

Seeing A-Yao nodding, the emperor's face was much gloomy.

Rong Qianhan clenched Ah Yao's hand, and pleaded earnestly: "Knowing that the emperor and Ah Yao have only known each other for a short time, I have a lot of reluctance to Ah Yao in my heart, this king will treat her well in the future, and will never let her be wronged at all." ”

Concubine Jing smiled, she was very optimistic about Rong Qianhan and A-Yao, and was happy to see them come together.

On the other hand, Concubine Wan was expressionless and didn't seem to approve of them being together.

Seeing that the emperor did not answer for a long time, Concubine Wan got up and said, "Today is the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, let's talk about these things later!" ”

"What Concubine Wan said makes sense." The emperor echoed.

Judging from the emperor's reaction, he obviously did not agree to Rong Qianhan marrying Ayao.

Concubine Jing and the others also understood.

The emperor did not approve of this marriage, so they did not dare to say anything.

"It is precisely because it is the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet and all the family members get together that the king will propose our marriage to make the joy even more joyful." Rong Qian said.

Because of the relationship between Dongli and Southern Xinjiang, the emperor could not directly refuse Rong Qianhan's courtship, and was silent again.

But Concubine Wan understood what the emperor meant, and continued: "The regent also knows that Ah Yao has suffered a lot from snacks, unlike the prince and princess who grew up in the palace, the emperor feels that he owes Ah Yao and wants to compensate her well, you have to marry Ah Yao now, the emperor is indeed a little sad." ”

"Yes, Concubine Wan still understands my thoughts." The emperor echoed again.

Li Lin didn't answer angrily, "But my father introduced a lot of young talents to Ah Yao last time, doesn't he just hope that Ah Yao can get married as soon as possible." ”

Li Lin's words made the emperor and Concubine Wan change their faces at the same time.

"Linlin, what do you know!"

Concubine Wan reprimanded Li Lin, and looked at Rong Qianhan and Ah Yao again, "The emperor has lost Soho, and he can't lose Ah Yao anymore, I hope the regent can understand the emperor." ”

Concubine Wan said everything to this, if Rong Qianhan still insisted on marrying A-Yao, it would be unreasonable and inconsiderate of a father's thoughts.

Unwilling to embarrass Rong Qianhan, Ah Yao spoke up, "Let's talk about the marriage!" ”

Concubine Wan smiled and said, "It's still that Ah Yao feels sorry for the emperor, so I know that the emperor didn't hurt you in vain." ”

The two glanced at Concubine Wan and returned to their seats without saying a word.

Because Rong Qianhan mentioned the marriage, the emperor didn't have the heart to stay here, so he lied that he was unwell and went back to the palace to rest first.

Concubine Wan took the initiative to invite Ying and sent the emperor back to the palace.

After the emperor and Concubine Wan left, the hall returned to normal.

After walking through the hall, the emperor took a deep breath, and finally no longer had to face the oppressive atmosphere.

Concubine Wan saw the emperor's thoughts, and said softly: "The emperor is worried about the marriage between Ayao and the regent?" ”

The emperor sighed, "Those who know me, Concubine Wan." ”

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, the concubines have a way to share the emperor's worries."

"What's the method?"

The emperor immediately stopped and turned his head to look at Concubine Wan.

"I heard that A-Yao has only had Yun Niang as a relative since she was a child, and she attaches great importance to family affection, if she knows that your health is not good, she will definitely not leave you to marry Dongli."

"You mean to feign my illness?"

Concubine Wan smiled at the emperor, "The concubines don't dare to make decisions for the emperor, everything depends on the emperor's idea." ”

The emperor thought about "pretending to be sick" and went back to the palace.

Because the emperor left, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became a lot more relaxed.

Li Yun, Li Yun, and Li Lin drank happily, and Concubine Jing sat there quietly.

After a while, Concubine Jing suddenly got up and walked in front of Ah Yao and Rong Qianhan.

Seeing this, Ah Yao and Rong Qianhan suddenly got up.

Concubine Jing smiled at the two, "No matter what decision the emperor makes, I support you to be together." ”

"Thank you, Concubine Jing."

Ah Yao and Rong Qianhan said at the same time.

Concubine Jing set her eyes on Rong Qianhan, "A-Yao is a good girl, the regent must treat her well, if we let us know that you bullied her, we won't give up." ”

"I won't bully her." Rong Qianhan assured.

"The Lord Regent is full of words, I believe it."

Ah Yao and Rong Qianhan picked up the wine glasses on the table, and the two of them raised their glasses to Concubine Jing at the same time.

Seeing that the two of them drank wine and put down their wine glasses, Concubine Jing spoke again, "You guys leave Fengdu!" ”

The two of them looked puzzled.

Ah Yao was puzzled and asked, "What does Niangniang mean by this?" ”

"Don't track down your mother's killer, and your mother probably doesn't want you to go any further."

Concubine Jing is also a little abnormal today.

"Wouldn't it be good to let go of hatred and start a new life?" Concubine Jing asked.

"I also want to let go of my hatred, but my mother was captured by King's Landing, and I want to get my mother back."

Concubine Jing was a little surprised, "You said Yun Niang was arrested again?" ”

Ah Yao nodded and said truthfully: "I suspect that Jun Linfeng is not the only helper of Concubine Xiao, he also has other helpers. ”

"Other helpers." Concubine Jing muttered quietly.

"And Feng Hai, there should be other people behind him, he is just an insignificant pawn."

Concubine Jing didn't answer.

"There are still so many things in Fengdu that I haven't figured out, and I will never leave." A-Yao was resolute.

"Ah Yao......"

Ah Yao interrupted Concubine Jing, "Niangniang doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I won't leave Fengdu, thank you Niangniang for your concern." ”

"You ......"

Concubine Jing sighed helplessly and said, "Your temperament is exactly the same as your mother, if your mother could listen to me back then, maybe she wouldn't have ended up like that." ”

"Do you know something?"

Concubine Jing waved her hand and turned her back to them, "I don't know anything, I'm just a person who is dedicated to the Buddha and ignores the world, take care of yourself!" ”

After saying that, Concubine Jing also left the hall.

The two watched Concubine Jing walk away and glanced at each other.

"Did you ever suspect her?" Rong Qianhan asked.

A-Yao shook her head, "She helped me out of the siege several times, and my mother even gave her a manual, I believe that my mother trusts her, and she has no problem." ”

"If you believe her, this king will believe her."

Ah Yao smiled at Rong Qianhan.

As soon as Ah Yao and Rong Qianhan were about to sit down, Xiao Linzi hurriedly ran to the two of them.
