The gambling concubine has an appointment, the prince will come again

Chapter 24 I Accept This Marriage　
Situ Yin returned to the backyard, and took a few sips of water before letting go of his worry, "I didn't expect Miss Tao Shi to be so sensitive."

If he hadn't run fast and was covered by the night just now, he might have been spotted by Tao Mo!

After calming down, Situ Yin suddenly remembered to light the lamp. Holding the needle in his right hand, he picked up the oil lamp once and for all. Situ Yin lowered his eyes, and the flickering light hit his face. The corners of her lips curled up, "Miss Tao Family Ten, it's getting more and more interesting."

"shadow."

The man who had been hiding in the dark came out and knelt down at Situ Yin's feet.

"Is the prince still kneeling in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

"Yes, from this morning to now, there is no water."

Putting down the needle and picking up a teacup to play with in his hand, Situ Yin sighed, "Why bother." Going against that one for me is not worth it.

"Send someone to quietly send a letter to the prince, just say..." The hand that was playing with the teacup stopped unconsciously, "Just say, I agree to this marriage."

Shadow leads, disappearing into the darkness as he came.

Situ Yin, the seven princes of the Southern Kingdom, is the prince who is least liked by the emperor, and the only one who has reached the age of weak crown but has no official position.

Situ Yin has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, and he was also one of the most beloved children of the current emperor after the prince. Logically speaking, he would not have become what he is now.

However, what the emperor's love brought him was not only the supreme honor, but also the open and dark arrows of all the empresses and princes in the harem!

The prince was lucky enough to escape all this because he had been raised by the emperor, but Situ Yin, whose mother clan was not very powerful, was not so lucky.

Not only does the poison come in at the frequency of three meals a day, but every time he goes out of the palace, he will be assassinated, even his brothers, except the prince, all regard him as air, the invisible cold violence is the most terrifying!
Fortunately, Situ Yin's mother and concubine found him a powerful master to teach him martial arts, poison techniques and so on, so that he could survive this man-eating harem.

As Situ Yin got bigger and bigger, his ability gradually appeared. It was the time when he was young and frivolous. Situ Yin still didn't understand the reason why Mu Xiu was bound to be destroyed by Lin Feng, and he didn't know how to restrain his arrogance and talent at all.

Finally, his existence made many people feel threatened, and even the prince's matriarch was secretly discussing whether to pull Situ Yin down!
The second prince's mother concubine and Situ Yin's mother concubine are both noble concubines. After the death of the first empress, the emperor has not established a new empress for a long time. Help from the side.

Concubine Xian has been dissatisfied for a long time. Seeing Situ Yin getting stronger and stronger, she finally couldn't sit still. She secretly contacted several concubines who were also dissatisfied with Situ's mother and son stealing the limelight, and performed a play to comfort Situ Yin's mother and concubine. He was charged with murdering the emperor's heir.

Because of the death of the first empress, the current emperor is extremely disgusted with the private affairs in the harem, and the shit that the concubines and the concubines buckled is clearly stepping on the emperor's pain.

Sure enough, when the emperor heard about it, he was furious and convicted Situ Yin's mother concubine Shu Guifei without even investigating too much.

A cup of dove wine, three feet of white silk, let Concubine Shu choose by herself.

Situ Yin was working outside the palace when he heard the news, and when he arrived in a hurry, Concubine Shu had already passed away.

She didn't even see her mother's concubine for the last time, and she didn't even hear a last word. The young Situ Yin hugged her mother's concubine's increasingly cold body, and the resentment in her heart was infinitely magnified.

He hated the Xian concubines who wronged his mother and concubine, and hated the emperor who condemned his mother and concubine indiscriminately.

He also hated why he was so weak and couldn't protect his concubine mother, why he didn't stay by his mother's side when it was most important!
After the Concubine Shu incident, the relationship between Situ Yin and his father suddenly dropped to a freezing point. Both father and son didn't want to see each other, and Situ Yin was against him everywhere.

If it weren't for the prince's constant mediation, Situ Yin would have died countless times!
Situ Yin didn't like staying in the palace more and more. When she became an adult, she resolutely left the palace to live in regardless of the prince's persuasion. If it was not necessary, she would never set foot in the palace!
The oil lamp was about to burn out, and the crackling sound woke Situ Yin from his memories.

Supporting his forehead with one hand, Situ Yin closed his eyes tiredly and let out a long sigh.

Another sleepless night.

In the early morning of the next day, before Tao Ran entered the palace, Eunuch Hai sent someone to the Tao Mansion to interrogate him. It probably meant that the emperor had heard of Tao Ran's name a long time ago, but he had never seen him. It happened that he had time today. So he invited him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a talk.

The group of people who received the order looked around, looking at me and you, and couldn't figure out what the emperor meant.

Although he didn't know what was going to happen, Tao Ran packed himself up as quickly as possible, got into the carriage with the little eunuch sent by Eunuch Hai, and walked into the imperial city.

When he arrived at the palace, the emperor hadn't left the court yet. Under the leadership of the young eunuch, Tao Ran entered the side room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. This is the place where the emperor specially summoned his courtiers.

Not to mention Tao Ran's ups and downs while waiting, when the emperor came back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was in a good mood, and when he heard Eunuch Hai say that Tao Ran was waiting to be summoned in the side hall, his mood was even better.

"Hai Lu, hurry up and see Master Xuantao."

"No." Hai Lu, also known as Eunuch Hai, bowed and retreated, came to the side hall and Xuan Taoran went to the main hall to have an audience.

"Don't blame the miscellaneous family for not reminding you, there are so many rules in this palace," Eunuch Hai led the way ahead, and reminded formulaically, "Don't forget to salute when you see the emperor later!"

Looking around, he lowered his voice after making sure that there were no other people around, and said: "The emperor is in a good mood today, if you have something to do, you'd better talk about it today, the possibility of the emperor agreeing will be greater."

Tao Ran also lowered his voice, "Thank you, Eunuch Hai."

"Don't tell me," Hai Lu raised his hand to reject Tao Ran's thanks, "If you hadn't helped the miscellaneous family back then, I wouldn't talk too much now."

"In any case, I still want to thank Eunuch Hai for his help."

"Okay, the miscellaneous family didn't do anything, the result of this still depends on Mr. Tao himself."

Tao Ran nodded in agreement, "It's natural."

"Okay, Master Tao, please, the emperor is waiting for you inside." It turned out that the two had already reached the main hall before they knew it.

"Eunuch Hai, thank you for your kindness. My Tao family will remember this kindness today." Tao Ran nodded at Hailu and said in a low voice.

Pushing open the door, he walked calmly into the main hall.

"Caomin Taoran, I have met the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

……

An hour later, Tao Ran walked out of the main hall with a smile on his face. No one knew what he had said to the current Holy Majesty, but one could tell from his expression that the result must have satisfied him.

Not long after Tao Ran left the palace, Eunuch Hai quickly walked out of the palace gate with the freshly baked imperial decree in his hand.

When Tao Ran returned to Tao Mansion, he was greeted by ten pairs of expectant eyes.

Dugu Yun got up and grabbed Tao Ran's sleeve, and said, "Master, how are you doing? Did the Emperor say something?"

Tao Ran didn't answer Dugu Yun's question, but looked around and asked, "Where's Mo'er? Why don't you see her?"

"Oh, master, don't worry about where Mo'er is at this time, tell me quickly, what did the emperor say?" Dugu Yun was so anxious that tears were about to flow down.

"Ma'am, don't worry, you will know the result later." Tao Ran patted the back of Dugu Yun's hand reassuringly, and said.

A few smart people around, such as Tao Yuanxi, Tao Yuanbin and others, immediately relaxed their mood. Judging by Dad's appearance, that method must have been approved by the emperor.

"Mother, since Dad said we'll find out later, let's wait." Tao Yuanhe said comfortingly while helping Dugu Yun to sit on the chair.

"Yuanqing," Tao Ran called out, "Go get Mo'er, remember to let her dress up well."

"Yes."

……

When Tao Mo was pulled out of the warm bed by his ninth brother, he was still in a state of half-dream and half-awake, allowing Tao Yuanqing to instruct Xiaolu to dress himself up well, and followed Tao Yuanqing for most of the way in a daze before he woke up.

"Ninth brother, where are you taking me?"

"Father asked me to take you to the front hall."

"Father...!" At this moment, Tao Mo was scared away even the lingering drowsiness, "Is there anything important that Daddy wants me to do?"

Seeing Tao Mo's careful questioning, Tao Yuanqing suppressed a smile, and replied solemnly, "It's very important to think about it." Regarding matters related to your life, "Father is very serious."

Tao Mo instantly turned into a bitter face, "Ninth Brother, do you think Dad is planning to settle accounts after autumn?"

"I don't know about that," he shook his head, "You should ask dad yourself when the time comes."

Tao Mo rolled his eyes at him, "If I dare to ask, do you need to be so nervous now?"

……

All the way to the front hall without a word.

As soon as he entered the door, Tao Mo stepped forward and grabbed Dugu Yun's arm, "Mother, I haven't seen you for a night, and you are much more beautiful. If you go out with me now, everyone will probably compare us to sisters."

"Your mouth! It's getting better and better at making me happy!"

The brothers of the Tao family looked at me and looked at you, and finally turned their eyes to Tao Yuanqing, silently asking him what happened on the way here, why did this girl rush to flatter him so early in the morning?

Tao Yuanqing raised his chin and looked at Tao Ran who was sitting next to Dugu Yun.

A group of people understood Tao Yuanqing's meaning in an instant, and the girl thought that her father came to settle accounts after autumn today!
"Mer."

Hearing Tao Ran's voice, Tao Mo subconsciously straightened up, stood aside, with his head bowed, waiting to be dealt with.

"Your mother and I saw that you are not young, so we chose a marriage for you."

There was a thunderous explosion on the ground so that Tao Mo completely forgot to react, and could only repeat blankly, "Dear, dear?"
