twilight.

A figure quietly looked around, stepped forward and gently knocked on the door of the Lin Mansion.

After a while, someone opened the door.

Seeing the person coming, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face lit up with joy.

"My lord, your highness has made many military exploits recently, and you lose more than you win, so it is inevitable that some villains will gossip behind your back, saying that your highness has a different status, plotting something wrong, and so on. Although your highness doesn't say anything, he is very depressed. "Li Xiangqian sighed softly, and looked at Lin Haisheng. Although he claimed to be sick and became an official and ignored the government, he would not ignore his son-in-law's affairs!After a pause, he said again: "So, His Highness misses the side wangfei very much, and hopes that the side wangfei can accompany him by his side."

"So that's the case!" Lin Haisheng's frowning brows relaxed immediately, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a smile appeared in his eyes, and he said, "It's just that the concubine side has entered the palace, and the rules in the palace are strict. Just ask the queen."

Just like the palace gate is as deep as the sea, it's true!

At this time, Lin Haisheng really realized the pain of these words.

But seeing His Highness's affection for his daughter, as a father, he was naturally very relieved.

"My lord, this subordinate naturally knows this. Your lord just needs to be brief. Right now, His Highness is in a difficult situation, which can be described as internal and external troubles. If he himself proposes to take the side princess to his side, it will inevitably lead to the villains in the court. Suspicious." Li Xiangqian raised his head and glanced at Lin Haisheng, and saw that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to have deepened instantly, so he said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter if the queen agrees or disagrees, as long as you can leave the palace, even if the queen blames it , it won't be too late to apologize after His Highness returns in triumph!"

"Your Highness is bloodied at the border, and it is a fair thing for the side princess to visit. How can it be like running away?" Lin Haisheng looked at him suspiciously, and said, "If the queen disagrees, how can the side princess get out of the palace?"

"Everything is human-made, and Princess Side is ice-snow smart. As long as she understands His Highness's intentions, she will be able to find a way out of the palace!" Li Xiangqian saw that he was still hesitating, thought about it, and said calmly. "My lord, let me tell you the truth! There are eyes and ears of the crown princess everywhere in the palace, and the side princess is actually in danger in the palace. Has my lord never considered these things?"

"It's not that I don't know about these things, it's just that the concubine is pregnant with His Highness's flesh and blood. No matter how fearful the crown princess is, she doesn't dare to do anything in front of the queen, right?" Lin Haisheng frowned.

"My lord has been in the officialdom for many years. Don't you know that the harem is like a battlefield, and if you are a little careless, you will lose your life in vain." Li Xiangqian smiled, put down his teacup, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, and said in a low voice, "My lord The Crown Princess is also pregnant recently, you think. Can she tolerate other women being pregnant with His Highness's child?"

"I understand!" Lin Haisheng suddenly realized, and couldn't help feeling a little chill in his heart. He got up and paced back and forth in the room, and said, "Master Li has worked hard all the way, first go to the guest room to stay, and tomorrow I will let my wife enter the palace." Visit the side princess."

"Your Excellency is really sensible." Li Xiangqian smiled, showing two white canine teeth, and then said seriously, "This matter cannot be delayed, the sooner the better!"

Lin Haisheng looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll go and make some arrangements, so that Zhuo Jing can enter the palace in a short while!"

Mrs. Lin listened behind the screen, her heart sank, she turned and went into the inner room, and began to wash and dress, whether this is a blessing or a curse...

"A few days ago, didn't Princess Side's natal family just come here? Why are you here again today?" Concubine Liu gently took Nalan Mingzhu's hand, walked slowly into the imperial garden, and looked at the woman not far away. The reluctant mother and daughter said coldly, "Did you even disregard the palace rules just because you are pregnant?"

"Ma'am, I heard that Mrs. Lin is here to deliver sour plum soup!" The people around him replied respectfully.

"Sour plum soup? Could it be that the sour plum soup in the palace is not as good as the one in Lin's house?" Concubine Liu Gui sneered, "I'm afraid there is something tricky about it?"

"Concubine mother, the emperor's brother is not here, and the emperor's wife is pregnant again. It is reasonable for her family to come a few more times. Let us be more considerate!" Nalan Mingzhu said angrily when she heard the words, and she broke away from Liu Guifei's hand. , walked a few steps forward, but suddenly a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she staggered, stopped, leaned on the railing, and her face turned pale.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Concubine Liu Gui hurriedly looked away, stepped forward to support her, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, just take a rest!" Nalan Mingzhu forced a smile, "I'm worrying my mother and concubine!"

"It's autumn again now, but your body... oh! How can the concubine mother not be worried?" Concubine Liu stroked her hand with pity, looked at the withered and yellow leaves in the garden, and sighed, " It stands to reason that you have also reached the age when you should get married, but you always say that you have not met someone you like, and the concubine knows that you still think about that Xiao Chengyu in your heart, but..."

"Mother Concubine..." Nalan Mingzhu scolded, "Didn't you say don't mention this matter?"

"Don't mention it, don't mention it, then what do you say you want to do?" Concubine Liu Gui sighed, "Both colleges should be married, and female colleges should be married. This is a matter of course, why can't you mention it when you come here? Daughter, although you You are the emperor's daughter, but you are also a woman, and women always have to marry, if you don't say anything, the concubine will ask your father to marry you to Xiao Chengyu directly!"

"Mother and concubine, don't do it. To be honest, I met a fortune teller at the foot of Lingluo Mountain last year. The gentleman said that his daughter was destined to be rich and hard-hearted by nature. She cannot marry a married man or be an heir." Otherwise, my husband will definitely have bad luck in the future." Nalan Mingzhu smiled sadly, "The fortune teller is very accurate, and my daughter has to believe it." Although she likes him very much, but if her love will make him ill-fated, then she would rather give up on him....

"How can you believe the words of the warlocks?" Concubine Liu Gui shook her head, her heart skipped a beat. No wonder she didn't want to marry Xiao Chengyu. Can't delay any longer..."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has invited me to discuss something important with you." A thin voice sounded beside her.The two looked back and saw that it was the personal eunuch next to the emperor.

"Mother Concubine, you go! I'll walk here alone, and I'll be back later!" Nalan Mingzhu sat down, looked at the faint lake, and said softly.

"Then you go back to the house early to rest, and the concubine mother will go to your father's place first!" Concubine Liu Gui said, looking at the maidservant beside her, and said again. "Take good care of the princess."

"Yes!" Several maidservants responded in unison.

In the imperial study.

Nalan Zetian picked up the memorial on the table, looked at it, threw it on the ground angrily, and said angrily: "It's unreasonable, you dare to raise conditions with me blatantly!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" The eunuch beside him quickly picked up the memorial and put it back carefully, not daring to vent his anger.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Liu Guiying walked in.Seeing the angry Nalan Zetian, he winked at the two eunuchs beside him, the two understood, and retreated respectfully, and she walked in front of him.Said softly, "The emperor calm down."

"Look!" Nalan Zetian sighed.Pointing to the memorial.

"The concubine dare not." Concubine Liu Gui hurriedly knelt down, "The harem dare not get involved in politics!"

"I tell you to watch it." Nalan Zetian sat down and said in a deep voice, "I told you to watch, what are you afraid of!"

"Yes!" Concubine Liu Gui stood up, stepped forward to open the memorial, and looked at it.His face paled immediately, and he knelt down again.There were tears in her eyes, and she sobbed, "Your Majesty must never agree to this matter. Although our Pearl is ready to marry, she has been weak since she was a child, and she was raised in a deep palace on weekdays. She was afraid of melting in her mouth. I am afraid that I will fly away, if I marry far away in the barbaric land of Beizhao, wouldn't it be her life?"

"But we have always been at odds with Beizhao. We have disputes on the border every year. There is a big war every five years, and a small war every three years. Now, the crown prince has gone to the Shu Kingdom and won many battles. The next target is Beizhao, so I proposed a truce." Nalan Zetian sighed, stepped forward to help Concubine Liu Gui, held her hand, and said, "I only have such a daughter, and I can't bear it."

"Your Majesty." Concubine Liu Gui stepped forward and grabbed the hem of his clothes, tears streaming down her face, "Your Majesty, Mingzhu can't marry Beizhao. Are we still afraid of a small Beizhao? The crown prince is not here, we still have Xuan'er, if Beizhao turns his back on this matter, the emperor will ask him to lead troops to Beizhao."

"Confused!" Nalan Zetian reprimanded, "If both sides go to war at the same time, wouldn't we, Da Qi, be in a mess!"

"What does the emperor mean..." Liu Guifei wiped the corners of her eyes and asked.

"If the marriage can make Beizhao stable for two years, it's okay!" Nalan Zetian held her shoulders, eyes full of guilt, sighed, and said, "Mingzhu is my daughter, and she has the responsibility to serve her. Share your worries!"

"Your Majesty." Concubine Liu Gui smiled sadly, and couldn't help but raise her voice, "Where are all the men in Daqi going? Trading a woman for peace? I will never agree to this!"

"You don't agree? Do you think I'm willing?" Nalan Zetian said angrily, "I'm just telling you that I respect you as Mingzhu's mother. It's up to you whether you agree or not. Go down!"

"No, your majesty, you can't marry Mingzhu to Beizhao, she is your daughter!" Concubine Liu Gui suddenly fell to the ground, crying uncontrollably.

"Sister, get up, let's discuss this matter slowly!" Empress Su hurried over when she got the news, helped her up, and comforted her, "Don't worry yet!"

"Don't be in a hurry?" Concubine Liu Gui pushed her away and sneered, "Of course the queen doesn't need to worry, and the queen doesn't have a daughter to send for a marriage."

Empress Su didn't stand firm, and she couldn't help taking a few steps back after being pushed like this.

"Presumptuous!" Nalan Zetian hurriedly stepped forward to support Queen Su, and shouted at Concubine Liu Gui, "Whenever you dare to talk to the queen like this, why don't you go back quickly!"

"If the emperor sent Mingzhu to Beizhao, it would be tantamount to killing her with his own hands. It is said that the poison of a tiger does not eat its children. Your majesty, please think about it!" Concubine Liu Guifei glanced at the two of them angrily, covered her face and ran out.

"Your Majesty, although Princess Nalan was not born to a concubine, the concubine always treats her like her own daughter." When the two sat down, Empress Su sighed and said, "Let's think about this matter separately." It's no wonder that my sister is sad, the princess is weak and really can't get married!"

"Hey!" Nalan Zetian rubbed his forehead and sighed, "I'm not willing to give up the pearl, but right now, a prince is enough for us to have a headache, if Beizhao takes the opportunity to send troops, Daqi will really be in chaos..."

"Your Majesty." Empress Su heard tears in her eyes, "It's all the fault of the concubine, the concubine is guilty!"

"Okay, don't blame yourself!" Nalan Zetian patted her hand and said in a deep voice, "Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, and the matter will be resolved!"

"If elder brother is in good health, he will definitely relieve the emperor's worries!" Queen Su said with downcast eyes. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
