Chapter 49: The Prince Regent Chooses a Concubine
Last time, Lin Qijue's performance at the flower viewing conference impressed him deeply. Therefore, he had some impressions of Lin Qijue's appearance and voice. Therefore, although Lin Qijue was dressed in disguise, he could still tell that it was Lin Qijue's appearance.
"Old lady Lin? What happened to him? ”
"It's a long story, would it be convenient for you to leave the palace with me first?"
Lin Qijue's words just fell, and he didn't wait for the regent to react. The hydrangea was like having eyes, and it fell directly into Lin Qijue's arms.
Originally, the emperor threw hydrangeas indoors. The girls below were all frightened, and they all prayed that the hydrangea would not fall on their heads.
Unexpectedly, just now, a gust of wind blew from nowhere.
The wind actually blew the fluttering hydrangea out of the door, and the emperor secretly complained in his heart about what the hydrangea prepared by this little Guizi was, but it was not cutting corners, and there was no weight at all.
He thought that there was no one outside the door, so he threw it again.
Unexpectedly, this hydrangea really hit a girl.
Xiao Guizi, who was reprimanded by the emperor for picking up hydrangeas, saw it and ran in excitedly to tell the emperor.
Xiao Guizi has been with him for a long time and knows him very well. The look on his face flashed just now, and it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with the matter of throwing hydrangeas. Originally, he also thought that he would forget about being criticized afterwards. I didn't expect it to be so fateful, and it was really thrown on a girl.
After the emperor heard the news of Xiao Guizi, he was excited, but he couldn't hide his joy.
"Good, good, good! Little Guizi, wait and receive the reward! ”
"Thank you, Lord Longne!"
Xiao Guizi was excited, thinking that this woman seemed to have a fate with himself, and he had this fortune.
At this moment, the emperor thought in his heart that this woman must also be on the list screened before. Not surprisingly, it should also be the daughter of a courtier. Because of the feast he had set up, only those who were on the list were allowed to enter.
After that, he sent someone to bring Lin Qijue in. On the way, he noticed that there was something strange about this woman, and her eyes seemed to be invisible. But how did this girl get in?
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Guizi whispered to the emperor again.
After listening, his eyes changed when he looked at Lin Qijue. This girl had just been talking to his brother, who had always been indifferent. Isn't this a shield invited by my brother to escape from marriage? Or is it his brother's crush?
After thinking about it for a while, the emperor still felt that it was more likely to be the former.
"What do you call a girl?"
Lin Qijue was taken to a strange place without a word, and she originally wanted to seek the regent's protection. But the regent didn't say anything. Lin Qijue turned his head, then it seemed that this person was either very familiar and close to the regent, or he was more powerful than the regent. She thought about it for a moment, and felt that it was the most likely to be a saint today.
However, she didn't dare to speak rashly. Now, she's in the palace. If you accidentally say the wrong thing, I'm afraid that my grandfather won't be rescued, and I will be in trouble.
Therefore, Lin Qijue did not respond. She thought, the enemy does not move, I do not move. Unless the other party reports to his home, he will not say anything.
Lin Qijue's silence made him think that he hadn't heard himself.
So, he waved his hand and asked Xiao Guizi to ask about it, while he was eating.
In order to choose a concubine for his younger brother, he was hungry for a long time.
Seeing this, Xiao Guizi stepped forward directly and began to interrogate Lin Qijue.
At first, he asked very politely, but not in detail. But no matter what he said, the woman in front of him just wouldn't agree.
Xiao Guizi was puzzled, could it be that this woman was a mute?
And at this time, Li Ming walked in with the regent.
They saw that Lin Qijue went through a series of questions from Xiao Guizi, and they didn't say a word, and they all felt that Lin Qijue was a cautious person.
Seeing them come in, Xiao Guizi saluted from the regent, and did not pay attention to this Li Ming. Because he has always looked down on this rich businessman who is dressed like a flower and butterfly, and he always speaks very frivolously. According to the privileges given to him by the emperor, he was even more reluctant to deal with him.
When Li Ming saw it, he didn't feel anything. Shinong businessman, as a businessman, he is very rich. However, it has always been that it has no status. Before, someone invited him to come to this flower viewing festival, but he didn't think it was interesting. It's better to go out and have fun and see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and the beauties of the rivers and mountains.
The emperor ate all the food he put in front of him, and he didn't see this little Guizi ask anything. He thought, "Let's do it myself!"
"I ask you, who are you?"
A "me", Lin Qijue affirmed his guess.
Lin Qi didn't know how to salute, so he directly "pounced" and knelt down.
She pondered for a moment and said, "The courtier Lin Qijue will visit the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
When the emperor heard this, he laughed out loud. As early as when he ascended the throne, the saying of "long live" and "thousand years old" was canceled. He thought it sounded tongue-twisting, and someone had calculated it for him, which would affect the fortunes of the country.
"Lin Qijue? Lin Fu, Lin Jun is your grandfather? ”
Speaking of this surname, the first thing the emperor thought of was Lin Qijue's maternal grandfather Lin Jun. After all, in his opinion, this forest has made great contributions to the country. His younger brother also expressed his appreciation, admiration and praise for him.
"Yes."
"Well, that's not impossible." The emperor muttered to himself.
Originally, he was still thinking that if this was a woman from an ordinary family, it would not be suitable to marry in. However, this Lin family and this Lin can be regarded as heroes. Today's prosperity is indispensable to his contributions. Looking at it this way, it can still be worthy. As for money, when the time comes, he will let Xiao Guizi subsidize it a little, just don't be too shabby.
"You just received the hydrangea I chose for my brother's concubine."
The emperor said this calmly, and he wanted to know what Lin Qijue's reaction would be. If he can gladly accept nature, it is best, and if there are a lot of whispers, he will directly make an order.
Anyway, this hydrangea did let her catch it. The girls who participated in the selection in this room all saw it, and these nobles of the imperial city who came to join in the fun could also testify.
Most of these imperial nobles have strong foundations, and no one wants to let their children and grandchildren participate. Because this regent is known as the "cold-faced living Hades", I heard that this temperament is also uncertain. They don't feel the need to make offerings to this Buddha, anyway, here they already have enough to gain a foothold.
And most of these girls who came to participate in the selection were defective products sent by their families. They wanted to be promoted through this selection, but none of these girls wanted to. They had all heard of the notoriety of the regent, and perhaps they had just been married, and the wedding became a funeral before it took place.
And the emperor can't help it, and he hasn't thought about forcing the decree. However, if his brother got angry and went out to fight for a few years, there was no one to accompany him.
Now, he finally summoned him back to deal with these trivial matters, and found a lot of excuses to persuade him to come and accompany him from time to time.
At first, the regent annoyed him and told him to play with his queen and his concubines. also teased him for accompanying one a day, and he didn't bring the same thing. In fact, it was he who felt that his body was getting worse and worse. Looking back suddenly, he felt that the most valuable and wanted to make up for it was the previous family relationship between him and Qin Xianyu.
He knew that his younger brother had done a lot for him.
Qin Xianyu also learned the news from the queen's mouth by chance, so he followed him on weekdays. Unexpectedly, this time I made such a big deal.
"And then?"
Lin Qijue felt that the emperor should not have finished speaking, who is his younger brother?
Although Lin Qijue knew most of the things here from Jinyu's mouth, Jinyu didn't say much about this relationship. So, she really doesn't know who the emperor's younger brother is? However, according to her previous experience in watching dramas, it is estimated that there should be several younger brothers.
The emperor looked at Lin Qijue and listened to her tone, full of doubts.
But this regent is his younger brother, no one knows this?
Suddenly, he remembered the rumors of the Lin family that he had heard before. Could this be the disgusting Miss Lin family? Previously, the scandal between her and Wen Shizi once became the prototype of teahouse storytelling.
It turned out to be her?
It's bad, if it's her, then it's better to choose a new one.
But at this time, Li Ming didn't think it was a big deal, and said: "Old Qin, your concubine doesn't seem to know who her husband is?" ”
When Qin Xianyu heard this, he couldn't wait to seal Li Ming's mouth.
Originally, this meeting was silent, and Li Ming's voice was not loud, but almost everyone heard it.
So, everyone's attention and eyes were on the regent.
Immediately after, I saw him walking in the direction of Lin Qijue. Everyone was wondering, could it be that this regent has changed sex?
In fact, when he saw the hydrangea falling into Lin Qijue's arms just now, he felt a trace of happiness and a trace of luck.
Fortunately, the person who received it was Lin Qijue, not the girls inside. The girls inside are also reluctant, if they are really chosen, it is estimated that they will be impeached this time. At this time, those so-called courtiers are still his nominal father-in-law, and nine times out of ten they will climb into his relationship. Nine times out of ten, this presentation is an impeachment of him.
And the reason why he felt lucky was because he had already thought just now that no matter who received this hydrangea, he would directly threaten him. Anyway, he does things and doesn't care what others think. It just so happens that this Lin Qijue still has a request for him, and he must be very easy to handle.
In front of the royal family and nobles, Qin Xianyu said directly and indifferently: "You give up, otherwise I don't dare to guarantee your ......."
Before Qin Xianyu's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Lin Qijue.
"I do, I want to marry the regent."
Everyone saw and heard Qin Xianyu's threat, so even the emperor felt that this matter would definitely not be possible. In addition, he already has other ideas at this moment. He felt that this Lin Qijue was no longer worthy of his excellent younger brother, and he was thinking, then he would also cater to the other party's intentions. In a few days, a group of newcomers will be screened out for the regent.
But I never expected that at this time, Lin Qijue responded loudly, saying that she was willing.
Even Qin Xianyu was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't think of it, what was this Lin Qijue for? If it was for her grandfather, she didn't have to, she would definitely help Mrs. Lin.
At this time, the women present to participate in the selection couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and some of them looked at Lin Qijue with sympathetic eyes.
At this time, the emperor was no longer willing to marry Lin Qi to the regent.
Therefore, he asked directly: "I heard that you seem to like Wen Shizi?" Why have you changed your mind now? ”
His sentence is to the point. But sitting here, which one is not a human spirit. The emperor's words were obviously dissatisfied with what Lin Qijue had done before, and he wanted to find a way to get rid of this hydrangea concubine.
"Back to Your Majesty, that is the courtier's daughter who was ignorant before. Before, I happened to hear about the deeds of the regent charging for the country, and I felt very admired, and I also had different feelings for the regent. Nowadays, there is also a hydrangea relationship, I hope Your Majesty will be fulfilled! ”
What she said was reasonable. But this relationship, no matter how you say it, will change, he heard that the love and hatred between Lin Qijue and Wen Shizi was not long ago.
"Then what is your relationship with Wen Shizi now?"
At this time, the emperor was already a little shaken. Actually, the regent is not unsightly, but he has a very bad temper. It's not that no one likes him before, but he cleaned it up as a result, and finally fell into the title of "Cold Face Living Hades". Since then, women have avoided seeing the regent.
The girl in front of her actually said that she admired the regent, and she also bred different feelings, didn't she just like the regent?
Originally, Lin Qijue had thought about saying that he liked it directly. But considering that it is ancient times, this is so blunt, and it will be even more embarrassing when the time comes.
When Lin Qijue first heard the news, his first thought was to refuse. She didn't want any emotions to happen here, she wanted to practice medicine and make money. But suddenly, she also thought of the reputation of the regent, and the world said that he was indifferent, and he had no mercy for women. In this way, it is more in line with her heart.
She knew that the regent was powerful. She is in great need of borrowing power now, but she has no money and no power now, so she has a little wisdom of a higher civilization. Therefore, at the moment, this hydrangea that obeys the fate of God is the best opportunity.
As long as she marries the regent, everything can be solved. Not only can she rely on the regent to get her grandfather out, but she can also find some medicine to cure her eyes through the regent's channels. The most important thing is that even if you know that these two people are not related to each other, their identity and status are there.
Like Lin Qin, Wen Shizi, Master Lin, Mrs. Lin, she doesn't have to pay attention to everything. When they see her, they will probably have to salute.
I have to say that Lin Qijue has a good calculation.
"Wen Shizi has nothing to do with the courtier, it seems to have something to do with the courtier's sister."
"Huh?"
"The courtiers don't know very well."
At this time, the nobles next to him began to talk about it.
I saw a gorgeously dressed and wealthy woman saluting the emperor, and began to say: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers, this Lin girl and the regent are a match made in heaven. The ministers are willing to sacrifice the luminous stone to congratulate the regent! ”
With the first person to speak, there is also one after another.
The emperor himself felt a little speechless, obviously he was still thinking about it. It's clear that these people just want to put this on the ground.
So far, it is difficult for him to ride a tiger in a high position.
However, he also thought about it, if there were any problems behind this Lin Qijue, he could give the regent another concubine, or see what he thought.
Immediately afterwards, he issued an order to ask the Ministry of Rites to quickly choose a good day for his younger brother to marry.
The regent originally wanted to oppose it, but in this situation, isn't his opposition just a slap in the face for his brother. He knew that the emperor had put a lot of effort into making these so-called imperial city nobles submit.
As a result, he blackened his face and accepted the emperor's blessing. He thought that he would find him again later, and by the way, he would also make it clear to Lin Qijue.
