The little sisters of the Lin family had had enough fun and returned to their residence. Mrs. Yuan had already ordered people to bring lunch and put it on the table, but Mrs. Yuan went to be a guest somewhere. When they came back, the food was already cold, so everyone was moving around.
The portion was large, and I was really hungry. I heated up the food, and it tasted delicious. After eating, we all took a nap.
Lin Zhixiu had something on her mind and couldn't sleep. If the emperor came, Mr. Zheng would definitely be too busy to leave. He might as well take advantage of this opportunity to say what he needed to say.
Nan Yan changed into a blue cloak and skirt and went out. When others looked at her, they would think she was a maid from the harem. She walked around the outside to the mountain gate to find Zheng Xian.
Mr. Zheng came a few days ago and inspected the layout of the emperor's residence inside and out. Your Majesty, you will probably arrive in the evening.
As soon as I sat down and took a sip of water, a subordinate came in and said: A palace maid has something to do with him.
Zheng Xian walked out without thinking too much.
Nan Yan does look like a palace maid, with a serious expression and an upright posture.
Zheng Xian asked, "Miss, what are your orders from Concubine De?" Concubine De has been busy with a lot of things these days. Sometimes it's really business, sometimes it's just messing around.
The palace maid looked around and saw that no one was around. "I'm here to deliver a message for Miss Lingchan. I wonder if Mr. Zheng is interested in hearing it."
Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was thinking. He looked at her intently and said, "What letter?"
The palace maid said, "Miss Ling asked someone to bring a letter for her, but I don't know if it's convenient for you here. I haven't brought the letter with me. If you want to know, I'll be waiting at Qiu Lie's entrance to the palace in a while."
Zheng Xian looked Nan Yan up and down and asked, "The letter you asked someone to bring? Who are you to her?"
Nan Yan said, "You will know this when you go there, Miss Ling..." Nan Yan stretched out her hand, and there was a jade cicada in her hand, with a simple shape and a warm color.
Zheng Xian stared at it, "It's indeed hers. Okay, I'll go right away!"
Nan Yan went back quietly, and Zheng Xian went back to ask people to take care of everything, and then came out.
Lin Zhixiu put on her big cloak and curtain hat, covering most of her face. No matter what, she still had to be careful. When a man and a woman meet, especially if the other person is engaged, it will be troublesome if someone sees them.
.
Nan Yan was by his side, and when they arrived at the place... Zheng Xian had been waiting for a while, and when he saw Nan Yan, he came over to greet her.
Lin Zhixiu didn't say anything. When he saw a low wall next to him, he gestured and walked to the back. Zheng Xian was a little nervous and followed.
"I don't know what the girl's name is, or who she belongs to Lingchan." He couldn't see her face and felt unsafe.
I couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but her voice was soft and melodious, "Miss Ling and I have known each other for a short time, but we have similar minds. She asked me to bring a letter, and I will take it back after you read it."
Lin Zhixiu handed the letter to him, and the first thing Zheng Xian noticed was a pair of snow-white and tender little hands. He took the letter without saying anything and read it at a glance without making a sound.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Miss Ling's father has not returned home yet, and her stepmother has the final say in everything at home. Her situation is extremely bad. I wonder what Mr. Zheng is thinking?"
Zheng Xian said, "You must also know that my mother didn't care about my marriage to Miss Ling. It was me who went through all the hard work to persuade my mother to propose marriage. Unexpectedly, the Ling family rejected it."
...My mother was very angry and couldn't help but arrange another marriage for me. Now that things have happened, what else can I do?" There was a hint of anger in her tone.
He silently handed the letter back to Lin Zhixiu, who handed it to Nan Yan. Nan Yan took out the firebrand and burned it in front of her.
When the fire burned the cicada's genus name... Zheng Xian closed his eyes for a moment. Then he opened them, "The girl who can send this kind of letter for her is indeed her good friend. She also said in the letter that everyone has different
Complaints are precious to each other. Sadness may occur. Just like me... I also hope that the girl can be a good friend and can comfort her... Try to think about it as much as possible! My marriage has been decided. "
Lin Zhixiu sighed, "I think so too. Human life is destined by God! So be it!"
She turned around and left, followed by Nan Yan.
Zheng Xian felt very sad when he saw the ashes of the letter on the ground.
"Girl..." He called to Lin Zhixiu.
Lin Zhixiu stood up and turned around.
"She, what will happen to her?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Her best days were during the time she stayed at home. In fact, from the refusal of the Zheng family's marriage, it can be seen that this stepmother will never let her get better. Her end is nothing more than
Become a monk or die."
Zheng Xian closed his eyes, "Whether...it may not be like this. I'll write a letter to Lord Ling!"
Lin Zhixiu shook her head, "Her stepmother not only dislikes her, but also cares about her! The Ling family has her mother's dowry. Miss Ling may have many good things like this jade cicada in her hands...
...Money and silk are attractive to people's hearts. What's more, the stepmother has children but no property. Therefore, she will not be allowed to get married seriously. She is just as good as becoming a monk!"
Zheng Xian said, "When the Ling family refused to marry me, I also thought that such a thing would happen. However, her stepmother might be worried about entering a family like mine. But if she marries low, she is far inferior to the Ling family, even if she swallows the dowry,
Chan'er can't do anything to her! Why... must she be forced to become a monk or even die?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "It is also possible to give someone as a concubine! Not only will you not have to pay a dowry, but you will also get some in return."
Zheng Xian was helpless: "Girl! Why do you have to say that?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "I just said this, but it may not be the case. But, how much does she occupy in the young master's heart?"
Zheng Xian said, "I have been engaged and will get married soon. It is useless to talk about these things."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Yes. So, there is nothing we can do about it."
Zheng Xian said, "She, what does she have in mind..."
Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Haha, she wants to burn her mother's dowry, along with herself..."
Zheng Xian was very helpless: "Girl, how can you still laugh?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Because I can't help it?! However, I am also familiar with your county lord's fiancée, and we are even related to her. If I were to choose, I would definitely choose Miss Ling!"
Zheng Xian smiled bitterly, "Girl... This kind of thing is not the way to choose. To be honest, in the past two years, I have struggled with my mother many times over her affairs. I used both soft and hard tactics to achieve my current position! Girl maybe
I don’t know, this is not easy. I didn’t expect that the problem lies with her. To be honest, I blame her a little. But what the girl just said was an understatement, but I can also infer that she is indeed in a difficult situation. If,
Girl, do you have any good tips that you can teach me?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Not now. I'm here today just to see your attitude. If your mind hasn't changed, then it depends on people. You can't say, it will develop in the direction you want. If you don't mean it, I won't do what you want and go back."
Naturally, I will help her find a way that won't lead to a total destruction."
Zheng Xian: "If I still want to be with her..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Master, please think carefully! It may not go smoothly, your mother may be angry, you may lose face and lose your position, and nothing will be accomplished in the end..."
Zheng Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If the girl says this, who can make this determination?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Think of the worst in everything, and then every step you take is good news. Isn't that good?"
Zheng Xian said, "Haha, okay."
Lin Zhixiu said, "I understand what you are thinking, and I will come up with some ideas. How can I contact you?!"
Zheng first gave him an address, and Nan Yan sent him a note. Lin Zhixiu said, "If you need anything, young master, you can leave a message here. After the autumn hunting, I will find a way for you two to meet. You
There's still some time before we get married, so we'll discuss it slowly!"
When Zheng Xian saw that she had prepared the notes in advance, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't know how many times he smiled bitterly in such a short time.
Lin Zhixiu said, "It's not a good time to stay here for a long time. Say goodbye!" and turned away.
Zheng Xian watched the two people traveling far away, recalled every moment with Lingchan, looked at the scenery far and near, and still had a trace of tenderness in his heart.
————In the evening, the emperor arrived with several of his concubines.
Also accompanying him were Lin Ji, Li Cheng, Li Qing, Li Yi and others.
Lin Ji's horse was born from the same mother as the emperor's horse. The blue and white lion Cong is beautiful, with shiny coat and a very majestic look.
The emperor's kindness to Lin Ji can be seen from this.
Along the way, Lin Ji either accompanied the emperor on horseback or rode in a carriage with the emperor. He was very at ease in front of the emperor, and he often made the emperor laugh.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Concubine De was already waiting for her. Li Lan, Li Xu, Li Jin, who had arrived early, as well as the ministers who came before, and many children of aristocratic families, were all standing there waiting. Meierlang in red was among them.
The emperor got out of the car and everyone bowed to thank him. The emperor smiled and said, "No courtesy." He looked around and saw Qi Erlang in red in the crowd. His heart skipped a beat and he looked back at his eldest daughter.
Princess Xingrong.
Princess Xingrong accompanied Li Fei and got out of the car. Li Fei was grinning. She was used to being pampered and pampered. She really couldn't bear this journey.
Princess Xingrong was also very tired. If it wasn't for someone, she wouldn't have come. When she got out of the car, she saw a red dress among the people greeting her. Her eyes were shining and her face was red. She couldn't help but regret not being in the car.
Complete makeup.
The emperor is over 40 years old. He has a short, elegant beard, a tall and straight posture, and a gentle and generous voice. His eyes, expressions, and every move are noble and elegant. He has a noble and elegant manner. At first glance, he is different from others. No wonder Yan Yun was attracted to him in the first place.
Woolen cloth.
Although the journey was hard, he was in good spirits and walked to the main hall.
The maid arranged by Concubine De guided the concubines to their residence. Yan Zhaoyi got out of the car lightly. She was wrapped in a big cloak and her appearance could not be seen clearly.
Li Jin had come a few days ago. The emperor was walking and saw him... He was tanned like charcoal and grinned, but his teeth were white. He couldn't help but ask, "Have you been playing for a few days? Homework?"
How much did it fall?”
Li Jin said, "Father, my son has been riding and shooting continuously in the past few days and has killed a lot of prey. If you don't come, my son will kill them all!"
The emperor smiled gently and said, "I know how to brag." His eyes caught Li Xu and he sank deeply.
Li Xu tried his best to hide in the crowd. Yuan Jing also came with him, but he left Yuan Jing at King Cheng's nearby villa and did not let him follow. He had to deal with it, but he would not participate in the activities.
When the emperor came, he blocked the road leading to the second palace for Lin Zhixiu and others. The girls had nowhere to go, so they had to play chess and games in the house.
Lin Zhixiu sat in a corner, thinking deeply: The conversation with Zheng Xian did not surprise her.
Mr. Zheng... is just an ordinary man. He may have someone he likes and is willing to work hard for him. However, he will not bear too much for her... and he will not affect his life trajectory because of her!
Not like my father... he is upright and upright in everything he does.
No matter what you go through, your love for the one you love will never die...
"For the one you love, the origin will never be destroyed!"
