In the Prince's Mansion, Ximenche leaned lazily on the imperial concubine's chair, playing with the ring in his hand.
There was a faint smile on his handsome face, and his twinkling eyes were like bright stars. He showed a natural nobility even without moving, exuding an intoxicating elegance.
At this time, Ximenche was full of confidence. He did not believe that Lin Xiner could continue to stand outside his house in the face of his pet dog, and he was just waiting to hear the news of Lin Xiner's embarrassment and escape.
However, when the servant hidden in the crowd of onlookers came back with a message, Ximen stood up abruptly, his laziness disappeared, his smile suddenly retreated, and his eyes condensed sharply, from bright to deep in an instant.
The flames of anger, "You still put on airs like the eldest daughter of the Grand Master's Palace in front of me. Not to mention a cripple, you are still so angry! You want me to carry a big sedan chair to marry her, what a dream! She can't enter the Prince's Palace today.
The front door, you will never be able to enter it in your life!"
He originally thought that Lin Xiner would be frightened by the dog and run away, making her a laughing stock in the world and unable to raise her head again, and pay the price for her insistence on marrying into the prince's house. Who knows, that Lin Xiner will not
He said the harsh words and turned away.
"Prince, I'm afraid things have been done." Butler Zhao Zheng came forward after a moment of silence. He just turned people away and let out the dogs. Although they all obeyed the prince's orders at the time, but now that he thinks about it,
, I can’t help but feel worried.
Zhao Zheng later realized that the prince was afraid of getting into trouble.
Sure enough, before an hour came, someone had already arrived in the palace.
Ximenche was summoned into the palace, and in front of him was the emperor with a gloomy face.
"It's just a concubine. You can arrange it however you want. You can't even accommodate one person. How can you carry the world in the future? As a prince, you don't care about the relationship between the king and his ministers. You act so recklessly without knowing the right and wrong. I think you should do it.
Just shut yourself up and think about it!" Ximen Jinglie said in a low voice after the prince saluted him.
It doesn't sound painful to think about one's mistakes behind closed doors, but for a prince, being locked up in a small room and not hearing about external affairs is a very dangerous punishment. After all, there are other brothers watching his position eagerly.
If you are not careful, you may be snatched away.
Before Lin Bo entered the palace, Ximen Che was ordered by Ximen Jinglie to be imprisoned in Boya Pavilion, which was a place specially designed for the prince to shut himself up and reflect on his past mistakes.
Lin Bo walked halfway and heard that the prince was punished for refusing to marry. He knew that whether Ximen Jinglie was concerned about the friendship between them or worried about his military power, he always respected him. He didn't need to stand up himself.
Try to settle this marriage and give yourself a satisfactory explanation.
Therefore, Lin Bo stopped entering the palace and returned to the Taishi Mansion halfway to observe the changes.
"Master, I think this is what we did wrong. We knew exactly what Xin'er was like and let her do whatever she wanted. Let alone the prince, any other man would not have married her just because he didn't want to. Now the prince is being punished because of her.
, if he succeeds to the throne as emperor in the future, I am afraid he will put the blame on the Lin family's account." In the evening, Liu Suixiang told Lin Bo what she had been thinking about all day.
"Is it that easy to succeed as emperor?" Lin Bo took a sip of tea and said calmly.
If a mediocre person like Ximen Che were allowed to become emperor, the Qingyuan Dynasty, which had just been established not long ago, would probably be on the verge of faltering.
"Who doesn't know that the prince has the support of Prince Xuan behind him? Since Prince Xuan helped the emperor quell the civil strife eight years ago and established a stable position in the country, who doesn't know that Prince Xuan is almost equal to the emperor. Although the emperor has children, if he dies, the world will be in trouble.
If it falls into the hands of Prince Xuan, Prince Xuan is indifferent by nature and does not want to be the emperor, then this kingdom will fall into the hands of the prince who has a close relationship with him?" Liu Suixiang said every word of hers carefully, she could
Not being a very smart person, she had prepared these words for a long time based on some things she had learned before.
"Today he doesn't take Lin Bo seriously, so he still wants me to come and apologize to him?" Lin Bo snorted coldly.
"This is not the time to be impulsive." Liu Suixiang said, "For the future of our Lin family, it would be better for me to temper my temper on the battlefield."
"Huh?" Lin Bo raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Liu Suixiang.
"Sir," Liu Suixiang couldn't help but trembled slightly when she met Lin Bo's gaze, but for her little calculation, she gritted her teeth and continued, "I think it's better for us to take a step back and ask for the emperor's order.
, let Ke'er marry the prince on behalf of Xin'er. Ke'er is one of the best ladies in the capital, and the prince will definitely be happy. In this way, not only can we continue to be relatives of the emperor, but the relationship with the prince can also be reconciled. If he misses the master again,
With authority, wouldn’t it be an honor for the Lin family to make Ke’er queen in the future?”
"After all, don't you just want Ke'er to marry the prince?" Lin Bodao said, he was well aware of Liu Suixiang's little calculation.
"Yes, I am Ke'er's mother, so I naturally want her to find a good home. Ke'er is so good, and after marrying the prince, he can compete for favor and take the position of concubine. What about Xin'er? Even the door of the prince's house
If you can't even get in, what else can you do for the Grand Master's Mansion besides bringing shame to the Grand Master's Mansion?" Liu Suixiang said, hiding the resentment in her heart due to Lin Bo's hindrance.
"The matter has come to this, let me back down. Is it possible that today the Grand Master's Mansion has been insulted by Ximen Che in vain? Are we going to offer him Ke'er again?" Lin Bo said coldly, "I, Lin Bo, have led troops to fight for so many years.
, when have you ever been afraid? If I really regress today, do you think it will be easy for Ke'er to ascend to the throne in the future when he arrives at the Prince's Mansion? How will my majestic Grand Master show his power in front of all the ministers? "
Outside the house, a breeze blew by, and two black shadows quietly swept out of the Grand Master's Mansion and leaped onto the big tree outside the mansion.
"This Lin Bo must be tough for the sake of his face." A dark figure said.
"The prince has already been punished for this matter, is he still forced to marry that woman?" asked another dark figure.
"The emperor was punished in order to appease Lin Bo. If Lin Bo becomes tougher, the emperor will give him some punishment. After all, he controls nearly half of our military strength and cannot be underestimated. When the Qingyuan Dynasty was first established, many times
Can’t afford turmoil.”
"But how can the prince be willing to do so?"
"Those who achieve great things have some tolerance and some will not tolerate it. The prince's behavior is too childish." The black figure who spoke first said, with a flash of eyes, he stood on a tall tree branch and looked towards the corner of the Grand Master's Mansion. There was
Where Lin Xiner lives.
"Go back first." The voice fell, and two black figures disappeared silently into the night.
