Nong Hua Makeup

Chapter 61

When Lin Jincheng arrived outside Wang's house, he happened to meet Wang Huiyuan who had just come back from outside.

When Wang Huiyuan got off the carriage and saw him, his face turned cold, and he stepped forward a few steps and said displeasedly, "What are you doing here again?"

"I want to see Mr. Yushi." Lin Jincheng was surprised when he saw the stern look on his face.

But Wang Huiyuan only frowned in disgust, and said: "If you came here for Ru Yan's marriage, I can tell you right now that my Wang family will never marry your Lin family."

Lin Jincheng was puzzled, and just asked, "Brother Wang, did you and I have some misunderstanding? Why do you have such a big prejudice against me?"

"Prejudice?" Wang Huiyuan looked at him coldly: "Don't you know what you have done? What kind of people are you in the Lin family? Don't think you can hide it from others. Let me tell you, I know it very well, but it seems that you really I won’t expose you for the sake of making some military exploits, but you will never want to marry Ru Yan in this life.” After finishing speaking, he ordered his left and right: “Look at him for me. In the future, when someone from the Lin family comes, you are not allowed to report to Miss. do you know?"

"Yes." The servants all agreed and stood in front of Lin Jincheng with a few steps.

Wang Huiyuan glanced at Lin Jincheng indifferently, then turned his head and walked in.

He was going to see his father, but after thinking about it, he turned his head and went to Wang Ruyan's yard.

Wang Ruyan is playing the piano in the gazebo in the courtyard, the sound of the piano is melodious, with a bit of sadness.

Yingtang saw Wang Huiyuan approaching from a distance, and her hands trembled in fright. Before that, he called himself over and slapped her for no reason, and told her not to talk to the Lin family anymore.

Wang Huiyuan waved to her, Yingtang knew that he wanted to see her quietly.Glancing at the young lady who was seriously playing the piano, she gritted her teeth slightly and quietly backed out, only to salute nervously in front of Wang Huiyuan: "Master, is there something wrong with looking for slaves?"

"Let me ask you, is miss thinking about Lin Jincheng again?"

"The servant does not know..."

"You bastard." Wang Huiyuan scolded in a low voice, Yingtang's face turned pale with fright.

There was a bit of moisture in her eyes, and she looked at him puzzled: "Young Master, why do you dislike Young Master Lin so much? Miss and he are in love with each other. Why do you torture Miss..."

"Shut up." Wang Huiyuan gave her a cold look, "If it wasn't for the fact that you have been by Ruyan's side since childhood, I would have sold you out right now."

When Yingtang heard this, she quickly lowered her head and dared not say any more.

Wang Huiyuan saw her like this, so he snorted coldly: "I did this for Ru Yan's benefit. Starting today, you have to persuade her not to think about Lin Jincheng anymore, and then Lin Jinhua should stop dating. My parents and I will find someone for her. A good family, if you dare to mention the Lin family in front of her again, I will immediately drive your family out of the mansion."

Yingtang shook her head again and again when she heard the words: "I don't dare."

Wang Hui glanced at her from a distance, then looked at Wang Ruyan who seemed to have lost a lot of weight since the beginning of the new year, and then turned away with a sullen face.

Lin Jincheng wandered outside the Lin mansion for a while, seeing that no one went in to communicate, so he had to leave angrily. When he went out, he happened to bump into Yuan Lvyi, the princess who was also depressed.

Yuan Luyi originally planned to go to find Lin Jinhua, but on the way, he met Lin Jincheng leading the horse and walking dejectedly, so he also got out of the carriage and followed him to Lin's mansion.

"I heard that the Wang family is going around to discuss marriage with Ruyan?" Seeing him like this, Yuan Luyi also guessed in his heart that it was probably for Wang Ruyan.

Lin Jincheng sighed slightly in his heart, but only glanced at her lightly: "Why is the princess also depressed?"

Yuan Luyi looked at the passers-by on the street, and only smiled sadly: "I am about to leave my hometown and go to a strange place. I am afraid I will never come back for the rest of my life. How can I be happy?"

Lin Jincheng also heard about the marriage, but the imperial court has not yet issued an imperial edict, and it may take some time, so he just smiled and said: "The princess is beautiful, and she is straightforward, and she just went to a strange place. There will be noble people to help, so why worry."

"You are good at comforting people." Yuan Lvyi's ears felt hot when he heard his words, and he just smiled faintly.

"What the officer said is the truth. There are so many daughters in the capital. Ruyan is delicate and charming, and Jinhua is smart. Only the princess is free and easy, with a straightforward personality. When it comes to appearance, she is also one of the best." Lin Jincheng boasted very seriously, Yuan Luyi is a rare friend of Jinhua, so he will naturally treat each other sincerely. Besides, she has a big personality, and she is somewhat similar to Zhaozhao, so she is just regarded as a younger sister.

But it was different when Yuan Luyi heard such compliments.

Lin Jincheng is tall and handsome, with a rare bit of refined and scholarly air about him, and he is also sincere, so how could she not be moved by these serious words?
But she also had a sense of proportion. Hearing this, she only thanked him with a smile, and stopped walking with him, but turned and went back to the carriage.

Lin Jincheng thought it was Caicai's words that offended her, so he apologized a little bit, but temporarily put aside the affairs of the Wang family, and rode ahead to lead them to the Lin residence.

Lin Jinhua was still thinking about the Queen's oral order at the moment, and was a little surprised to hear that Yuan Lvyi had come.

Lin Jincheng sent them here in person. Lin Jinhua saw the different expressions on their faces when they came, so he just smiled and said, "Why did my brother go the same way as the Princess?"

"I met on the road."

The two spoke in unison, and then Yuan Luyi stepped forward a little anxiously, took Lin Jinhua's hand and smiled, "I want to talk to you."

Lin Jincheng thought that she still refused to forgive him for his previous offense, so he smiled tactfully and said, "I still have something to do, you two should talk first." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't say any more.

After luring Yuan Lvyi back to the room, someone brought Ah Bao's fresh scented tea. The hot tea opened the pink petals, and the fragrance of the flowers accompanied by the fragrance of the buds spread in the room, as if it smelled of spring. General breath.

"This tea is really good, but it's a pity that the bitter cold place in Mobei can't smell it anymore." Yuan Lvyi sighed slightly.

"If the princess likes it, you can bring some with you." Lin Jinhua smiled slightly, looking at her with regret.In her previous life, she died suddenly after marrying, but if she does not marry in this life, the emperor will definitely not let Pingxi Palace go easily. She has always been filial and righteous, and will not run away from marriage. The only way is to marry.

Yuan Lvyi looked at Lin Jinhua. She was not very close to her. In the past, she would not have bothered to associate with these boudoir ladies, but Lin Jinhua was different from ordinary people. She was young and calm and calm. Ordinary people can't compare.

She looked at the petals in the teacup with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't bother, I went to those places left and right, and I still don't know if I can survive. I came today because I heard that the empress will call you into the palace tomorrow."

Lin Jinhua paused slightly for the hand holding the teacup, and looked at her with a slight smile: "Your Majesty said that the palace is dull, so let me accompany her."

"I'll go with you tomorrow, so I can take care of you." Yuan Lvyi paused, and then explained the reason: "I heard that the war in the Southwest is tense, and there are unruly people who use the name of rebellion to create riots. The emperor will definitely want someone to appease the army, so I want to ask the empress to help me to intercede with the emperor."

Mama Yang looked at her in surprise. Is the princess planning to ask the emperor to let her be a comforter?
Lin Jinhua looked at her burning eyes, knowing that she had already made a plan in her heart, and said: "You are a woman after all, that place doesn't have to be Mobei, and there are mobs, I'm afraid it will be more dangerous for you in the past."

Yuan Luyi smiled lightly, hiding the emotions in his eyes: "Going there is always free, and it would be better to die there. The emperor will always owe the Yuan family a little bit, and maybe he will let the Yuan family go. .”

When Lin Jinhua heard this, she felt a little admiration in her heart.She looks like a domineering dandy, but she still has such a delicate mind, and she has long known that she will die, but she has no regrets even though she died.

She smiled slightly: "Okay, Princess Tomorrow will enter the palace with me."

Seeing her answer, Yuan Luyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll come to look for you tomorrow morning."

"Yeah." Lin Jinhua agreed, and he let out a sigh of relief after personally seeing her off.

After they left, it was getting late, so they didn't bother Lin Jincheng anymore, but went back to the yard to rest, but the lights in the room were only dark, and a black shadow appeared beside her.

She smiled slightly: "The prince is here."

"Siqing is like madness." Zhao Huaiyan looked at the little person in front of him and embraced her directly.In the previous life, he pursued hard but couldn't get it, but he finally got it in this life, how dare he shrink back.

The corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth were raised, but suddenly she lightened up, and she fell onto the bed in his arms, followed by a hot kiss, as if to swallow her up.

Lin Jinhua felt the sudden kiss, and he didn't let go until he was slightly out of breath. He gently put his arms around her waist, rolled her into the quilt, and hugged her in his arms again, and said, "I will enter the palace tomorrow!" ,be careful."

"Hmm." The empress was very scheming, and she suddenly asked her to enter the palace, so she would naturally be on guard.

Zhao Huaiyan looked down at the soft and helpless little man in his arms, with a smile on his lips, and reminded: "Don't rub your legs."

Just as Lin Jinhua was about to adjust to a comfortable posture, she paused for a moment when she felt something stuck on her thigh.

Even after living two lifetimes, she was still very shy about such things and could only freeze.

Zhao Huaiyan saw that her whole body was tense, and said again: "Move, I can hold back."

"Really?" Lin Jinhua asked lately.

"Yes." Zhao Huaiyan reluctantly agreed, but he will work hard.

Seeing his answer, Lin Jinhua relaxed, twisted here and there, and finally found the most comfortable position, but Zhao Huaiyan's breathing became heavier, and the warmth fell on her ears, making her face full of shame flushed.

Even though Zhao Huaiyan was uncomfortable, seeing her so cautious, his eyes were full of smiles, but in order to distract his attention, he began to talk about other things: "Since Xiong Shuli left the capital, Zhao Kan has a group of people to protect him. I can't return to Beijing for the time being, but I can't touch him either."

"If we want to do something, I'm afraid we have to start with the Xiong's family." Lin Jinhua frowned.

Zhao Huaiyan nodded slightly: "I will leave Beijing in a few days, you must be extra careful then."

Lin Jinhua buried her head between his neck, her face touched his warm and delicate skin, she nodded, feeling a little bit reluctant in her heart: "Will the prince still refuse to tell me what to do?"

Zhao Huaiyan paused for a moment, then said softly, "I told you because I was afraid of causing trouble to you."

"I can protect myself." Lin Jinhua didn't want to be a protected bird under his wings forever, he was willing to walk into these storms for himself, and then she could become stronger for him.

After a long silence, Zhao Huaiyan finally had no choice but to hold her tighter, and said: "Of the one hundred thousand troops your father left behind at the border, more than half of them are controlled by his followers."

"So..." Lin Jinhua's heart rose slightly: "The emperor asked you to get rid of these people?"

Zhao Huaiyan was silent, so he accepted it.

Lin Jinhua knew what this meant. Once his father's followers were gone, he would no longer be a threat at all. If the emperor wanted to get rid of his father, it would be as easy as crushing an ant to death.

Seeing that she was worried, Zhao Huaiyan said, "Don't worry, I have my own plan."

"But if Concubine De's people know that you are lenient, wouldn't they push you into the fire pit again?" Lin Jinyu gritted her teeth slightly. If she was found out, with the emperor's suspicious character, she would definitely not let Zhao Huaiyan go.

"I have my own arrangements, so don't worry." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her dark eyes hiding her worries about herself, and her heart softened, and the evil fire that rushed into her body grew stronger.

Lin Jinhua was stunned when he saw that his breathing became heavier and his legs shifted slightly.

She opened her mouth, and asked a little shyly, "My lord, are you okay?" She is a doctor, and she knows that if she holds it in for a long time, something will happen.

Zhao Huaiyan heard her breathe like blue, her voice was slightly hoarse, but she just hugged her tightly and said in a low voice: "It's okay."

"Actually..." Lin Jinhua hesitated again and again, her face was burning hot, before she said, "It can be solved with hands..."

After finishing speaking, Lin Jinhua regretted it.

The night passed, and she fell asleep exhausted until dawn, her wrists were so sore, but the people around her were holding their heads with their hands half-opened, watching her with satisfaction: "Hao'er is working hard."

Lin Jinhua didn't dare to move, her face was so hot that she didn't dare to look into his eyes, so she just picked up the quilt and covered her head.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Huaiyan's heart became softer, and he carefully tore off the quilt and said with a smile: "Don't cover it up."

"It's getting late, it's time for the lord to go to court." Lin Jinhua simply closed her eyes and didn't look at him.

"But I'm still very energetic." He held her face lightly and kissed her on the forehead. He didn't say until she opened her eyes, "You rest first, you have to enter the palace today."

Lin Jinhua saw that he had changed from his previous cold and iceberg appearance, staring at her with phoenix eyes, his thin lips slightly raised a smile, the whole face was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it, especially his clothes were half open, and he was showing his eyes. Chest as white as jade...

Lin Jinhua didn't dare to think about it, she hurriedly turned her back and closed her eyes to go to sleep, but someone just wrapped her in a quilt and didn't come any closer.

Lin Jinhua finally relaxed. Although she knew that the pair of phoenix eyes behind her had been staring at her, she couldn't care about anything when she was sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Huaiyan looked at her sleeping face, tired but at ease.

He gently stroked her side face, and when she was fast asleep, he finally got up cautiously, changed his clothes and left quietly.

When Lin Jinhua woke up again, it was already broad daylight, and Yuan Lvyi was already in the yard.

She hurriedly jumped down and changed into the clothes she had prepared earlier, and after some brief washing, she went out together with her.

The two were sitting together in the carriage, Yuan Lvyi also stayed up all night last night, thinking about many things.

Seeing her staring out the window in a daze, Lin Jinhua only smiled and said, "Is the princess worried?"

"Yeah." She paused before saying, "I also talked about this with the Ninth Prince, but he also felt it was inappropriate." Yuan Lvyi didn't even want to call Ninth Brother because of this incident.

Lin Jinhua heard the words, and then remembered that the concubine Jia was not a powerless person, and her natal family was the current Pingxi Palace.Then sending Yuan Lvyi to get married, is it also her 'credit'?
Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, not daring to think too much, after all, the Concubine Jia she saw before was clearly just a gentle woman like water.

The carriage soon arrived at the palace. Yun Jiang had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time. When he saw Yuan Luyi beside Lin Jinhua, he was surprised: "This is..."

"Yesterday, I heard from Jinhua that the empress was free in the palace, so I wanted to come with Jinhua to accompany the empress, but I didn't notify in advance. I wonder if I can see you?" Yuan Luyi stepped forward and asked.

Yun Jiang only smiled and said: "Could it be that the princess is willing, the empress is willing, but I still need the servants to pass on the information first, please wait here for the princess." After looking at it, she changed into plain clothes Lin Jinhua smiled slightly: "Miss Lin, please."

Lin Jinhua nodded slightly, exchanged a glance with Yuan Lvyi, and then went inside.

But today the Empress didn't just invite her here alone, Princess Duanhui was also there, and there was Zheng Jiaojiao by her side.

Zheng Jiaojiao watched her come in from afar, and immediately said aggrievedly to the queen: "Mother, Miss Lin still blames me, otherwise she knew that I had a hidden illness, but she would not save her. But it can't be her fault, who knows?" Let my distant relatives offend her."

What Zheng Jiaojiao said was as if Lin Jinhua was really the villain who was narrow-minded and hurt her.

Duan Hui heard the words, and only added indifferently: "What are you talking about, Miss Lin will be Princess Ning in the future, and the empress is so distressed that it's too late, why will you vent your anger?"

The queen paused slightly with the hand holding the teacup, and drank the tea slowly, then looked at Duan Hui and said with a smile: "Duan Hui, I have been in charge of the Central Palace for so many years, how can I not see right from wrong?"

"Really? The Empress is in charge of the Six Palaces, I don't see how fair it is, otherwise the Concubine De was clearly misdiagnosed as suffering from an epidemic by a quack doctor, why would the Empress dare to lock her up in the Yonghe Palace?" Duanhui said with a little disdain.

The queen's hand holding the Buddha beads tightened slightly, but she only smiled slightly: "That's what the emperor meant..."

"Brother Huang was also deceived by you. No one knows about these intrigues in the harem. As a queen, even if you can't make decisions for brother Huang, you should explain it to the emperor on behalf of Concubine De. You didn't care about it, so you can see Only care about yourself." After Duanhui finished speaking, she glanced at Zheng Jiaojiao and said, "Forget it, Empress Empress will not stand up for you, you are the one who is stupid and offended Empress Empress, and came to Empress Empress to beg What is fair?"

Zheng Jiaojiao caught a glimpse of Lin Jinhua who came in at the door, and she only pretended to be timid and looked at the queen: "Madam, Jiaojiao really doesn't know what to do, she has a hidden illness, and she is in pain every night, and it is difficult to sleep, even the imperial doctor in the palace can't sleep." Said there was no way..."

When Lin Jinhua heard these words from afar, she just pretended to be normal, and stepped forward to salute the queen and Princess Duanhui in a respectful manner.

Duanhui turned cold when she saw her; "Aren't you a genius doctor? If you can't cure Miss Zheng's illness today, you will be a person trying to gain fame."

The queen's complexion also became colder, and she only looked at Lin Jinhua indifferently: "You can really cure it?"

"The courtier has never said such a thing." Lin Jinhua said lightly, originally she wanted to cure Zheng Jiaojiao, but now, forget it, hurt her to death.

"You—!" Zheng Jiaojiao came up domineeringly and pointed at Lin Jinhua to scold her, but Duanhui stared her down, she gritted her teeth slightly, and said with a few tears: "You didn't do that yesterday. Give me a prescription, say it can cure, why did you change your mind today, could it be that Zheng Ruyi really hated and poisoned me because of Zheng Ruyi, that's why she took revenge like this."

"In this case, I'm afraid you are not worthy of being Princess Ning. I'd better report to the emperor and ask him to choose another good princess for King Ning." Duan Hui showed irony on his delicately made-up face, and his eyes slanted. Leaning sideways, the domineering posture is fully displayed.

The queen glanced at her indifferently, then looked at Lin Jinhua and asked, "Can you cure me?" She was annoyed early in the morning because of Concubine De's affairs, and now she was ridiculed by Duan Hui because of Lin Jinhua. Annoyed.

Lin Jinhua knew that the queen was ruthless, but she didn't expect her to act so quickly. She just insisted: "Although the minister has some medical skills, she is not a miracle doctor. How can she compare with the experienced imperial doctor in the palace? , that courtier’s daughter can’t even cure her.”

Zheng Jiaojiao finally couldn't bear it and stood up: "Lin Jinhua, I think you just want to kill me!"

"I've never thought of this before. I have no enmity with Miss Zheng, have I?" Lin Jinhua said indifferently.

"I think you are really cruel and vicious. You are very scheming at such a young age." Duan Hui put down the teacup heavily on the side table, scaring the palace people to lower their heads immediately.

The queen looked at Lin Jinhua, but saw that instead of being afraid, she straightened her back and looked calm, and her gaze deepened.

The queen just watched like this, and kept silent all the time, as if she didn't want to fight against Duanhui yet.

Lin Jinhua's hands hanging in her sleeves tightened slightly, and she only respectfully said to Duanhui, "Your servant is dull."

"Stupid? I think you are very smart. You used Zheng Jiaojiao to go to Zheng's mansion to make a fuss and killed Mrs. Zheng, and now you come here to pretend to be innocent. Lin Jinhua, I have seen people like you a lot. Can't Gong see through you?" Duan Hui didn't like her when she saw her, especially seeing her calm appearance instead of kneeling down to beg for mercy, she was absolutely disgusting.

Duanhui is a person with a strong desire to control. Lin Jinhua knew early on that she was always respectful to her, but she didn't know why she made things difficult for herself.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiaojiao suddenly clutched her chest and groaned in pain, but instead of asking for Duanhui, she begged the queen: "Your Majesty, please ask Miss Lin to save the court lady, the court lady dare not blame her, I don't dare to do right with her again..."

What she said directly made the queen a protective and ignorant person, but this is what the queen of the palace taboos the most.

Even though the queen was annoyed by her, her father was the Minister of War and was with Duan Hui, so now she would never do anything to her, and just said to Lin Jinhua, "Take Miss Zheng's pulse immediately."

Mo Xue frowned when she heard that, Lin Jinhua stopped her with her gaze, and then stepped forward to feel Zheng Jiaojiao's pulse, but the maid beside Zheng Jiaojiao stretched out her foot to trip Lin Jinhua.

Lin Jinhua had been prepared for a long time, she glanced indifferently, stepped on her instep mercilessly, and walked over slowly, the maid who was in pain turned pale and dared not make a sound.

Seeing her coming to feel her pulse, Zheng Jiaojiao forgave her not daring to treat her in the palace, so she cried out in more pain: "It hurts so much." After finishing speaking, she only pretended to inadvertently overturn the teacup on one side, and the hot tea went straight to the ground. Splashed towards Lin Jinhua.

Instinctively, Lin Jinhua took a step back to avoid it, and then heard the maid yell deliberately: "Miss Lin, why did you deliberately overturn the tea and scald my lady, my lady just wants you to see a doctor, you don't have to be so vicious. "

Zheng Jiaojiao's hand was indeed red when it splashed the tea, and now she finally didn't have to squeeze her tears, but burst into tears.

She knelt on the ground and said, "Empress, I know my mistake. Even if my daughter died of illness, I dare not bother my empress any more."

The queen tried her best to maintain her elegance and dignity, she only cast a deep glance at Lin Jinhua and said, "If you don't want to be cured, then you don't have to do such a cruel thing, just go outside and kneel."

"Your Majesty..." Mo Xue was about to speak when the Queen looked at her seriously: "I'm not going down yet!"

Lin Jinhua looked at the indifferent queen, and only lowered her eyes and said: "The maid has just checked her pulse, and Miss Zheng is already terminally ill. If she dies, she will be alive for three days. The maid was too surprised, no Be careful to overturn the teacup and hurt Miss Zheng's body, so go down and be punished." After saying that, he bowed his knees politely, turned around and left.

Now Zheng Jiaojiao was dumbfounded, she didn't refute that it was she who knocked over the teacup?And he also said that he only had three days to live...

She turned pale all of a sudden, and looked at Duanhui tremblingly: "Princess, I still want to live a few more days."

Duanhui didn't believe Lin Jinhua: "What's the hurry, I'll take you to see the imperial doctor, but the empress still protects Lin Jinhua, I will definitely report this matter to the emperor personally." After saying that, she wanted to leave, but she still hadn't left yet. After two steps, I heard a deep sound: "What do you want to tell me personally?"

Everyone looked towards the front of the palace with slight surprise, Lin Jinhua had lowered her eyes and saluted before leaving the palace gate.

When Duanhui saw the emperor, she thought that this was her own brother who loved her more than ten years ago, so she stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother emperor, it's the queen who is playing for her own good, and Lin Jinhua is harming people right under her nose. Turn a blind eye."

The queen glanced at Zhao Qing, the ninth prince who was following the emperor, frowned slightly, but got up and bowed her knees, respectfully saying: "Your majesty, my concubine..."

"Forget it, I've been listening outside for a while now." After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Jinhua who was on the side, and said, "Raise your head."

When Lin Jinhua heard this deep voice, he could feel the majesty and aura emanating from him, but the emperor always loved Duanhui, and he had a rift with the queen because of Concubine De.

She thought for a while, then lowered her head: "My daughter dare not raise her head. My father was only reduced to a commoner because of the emperor's magnanimity. Now my daughter is reckless, not only failed to heal Miss Zheng, but accidentally knocked her down The tea scalded her, she should be punished."

When the queen heard this, her eyes flashed.The emperor was already controversial among the people because of Lin Lu's incident. Now, instead of mentioning the injustice done by the emperor, Lin Jinhua wholeheartedly believes that the emperor is generous. Even if the emperor is suspicious, he will not treat her as a daughter.

Sure enough, the emperor just smiled when he heard the words: "Although your father has done something wrong, he also has merit. Besides, I just heard you say that you accidentally spilled the tea, why didn't they let you go?"

Zheng Jiaojiao trembled all over when she heard this, and said nervously: "My daughter has no intention of blaming the blame, the empress is going to punish her..." She was flustered for a moment, and pushed all the past on the empress.

The queen's eyes dimmed slightly, and she only lowered her eyes to admit her mistake: "It's all because the ministers and concubines are stupid."

"Forget it, you are also in trouble." The emperor said lightly: "Get up."

Seeing that he didn't punish the queen or Lin Jinhua, Duanhui frowned slightly: "Brother Emperor, this Miss Lin has a lot of thoughts, and now that her father has been demoted to a commoner, according to my sister, she is really not suitable to be the future Princess Ning. "

The emperor took a few steps forward slowly, sat down in the first seat, and then looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of deep meaning, and asked, "Then who do you think is suitable? This Miss Zheng?"

Duan Hui didn't hear anything wrong, she thought the emperor thought the same as her, and said with a quick smile: "Sister Chen really has a heart to heart with Brother Huang. Miss Zheng comes from a noble family, and she is dignified and courteous. My sister thinks it is the most suitable."

Zheng Jiaojiao's face was flushed immediately, as if she had forgotten that she was still pretending to be ill just now, she just stepped forward and said shyly: "Although the maid is not as beautiful as Miss Lin..." When she said this, her eyes were full of unwillingness, But she continued: "But the servant girl must do her best so that she can serve the prince."

"There is no shortage of maids in the imperial brother's residence." Zhao Qing narrowed her peachy eyes and smiled lightly.

Zheng Jiaojiao was immediately speechless in embarrassment, but Duanhui looked at Zhao Qing with dissatisfaction: "The most important thing for a woman is to be educated, reasonable, virtuous and virtuous, Miss Lin has a sharp tongue and a deep mind, how can she compare with Miss Zheng?" ?" After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin Jinhua's clothes today: "You are wearing such shabby clothes when you enter the palace, so you can see that you don't take the palace seriously."

Mo Xue finally couldn't help it anymore, stepped forward and said: "Miss is still in the period of filial piety, and she seldom wears gorgeous clothes. Besides, today she is only here to accompany the empress. The empress is upset. Naturally, she needs to look at some plain things to calm her mind. I don't know where the lady offended the princess, but the princess slandered her everywhere."

"Do you dare to say that Ben Gong slandered her?" Duan Hui asked immediately, in her 40s, she had never been refuted like this by a servant.

Seeing her like this, the emperor frowned slightly: "Duanhui, I haven't seen the son-in-law this time, but the son-in-law still hangs around all day?"

"Brother..."

"You're not young anymore, you need to change your domineering temper. It's getting late, you don't have to stay in the palace, go back to the princess' mansion to look after your husband and teach your children." After the emperor said, he glanced at Zheng Jiao indifferently. Jiao: "I know the character of my empress very well. Since you are sick, you will inevitably bring your sickness into the palace. For the time being, you don't need to enter the palace. I will personally send an imperial physician to your house to take your pulse."

Zheng Jiaojiao's legs softened, and she knelt down with a thud. The emperor said that, is she saying that she has no rules? If daddy knows...

Her mind went blank for a moment, and she was in a daze when she was helped out.

Duanhui saw that the emperor was protecting the empress and Lin Jinyu wholeheartedly, saluted with chills, turned around and was about to leave, but then heard the emperor say: "For so many years, you only gave birth to a son for the son-in-law, and now he is not too young. If he wants to take a concubine, don't stop him, the royal princess should be a bit generous."

Duanhui's complexion became even more serious, and her previously well-maintained face suddenly collapsed, full of resentment, as if she had aged ten years.

"Chenmei obeys the order." The simple words made her grit her teeth.

Seeing her like this, the emperor looked a little unhappy, but finally said: "By the way, since Weiye is also eight years old, let him be named King Gong."

Duanhui's heart was now more balanced. After all, she and the emperor are biological brothers and sisters.Her face softened a little, and after thanking the gift, she only cast a cold glance at Lin Jinhua, and said, "The emperor ordered the establishment of the county king, and a celebration banquet will be held at the princess mansion in a few days, and Miss Lin must come over."

Lin Jinhua groaned secretly in her heart, but she had no choice but to respond: "Yes."

Seeing her answer, Duanhui bowed to the emperor and turned around, not paying attention to the queen at all.

After she left, Yun Jiang whispered about Yuan Luyi in the Queen's ear.

The queen thought for a while, and it might be a bad thing to win over the Pingxi Palace, and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Yuan is asking for an audience, I'm afraid it is for the sake of marriage."

The emperor frowned. He came here just to see what kind of person Zhao Huaiyan was. After that, he looked at Lin Jinhua: "Is Lin Luzhi feeling better recently?"

Lin Jinhua didn't dare to be negligent, and lowered her eyes and said: "Father was injured before and suffered from old illnesses. Now that he is full of illnesses, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to mount a war horse to defend the emperor's family and country."

Hearing this, the emperor's gaze deepened, and he slightly leaned forward to look at her: "You are clever." He guessed what he wanted to ask in no time.If such a smart woman stays with Zhao Huaiyan, it will be a blessing or a curse.

Lin Jinhua felt apprehensive, not daring to be too smart or not to be smart.The queen called her to come, but only let her go to the fire pit alone. The emperor had something to say, so she didn't dare to slack off. She just said: "My daughter dare not be smart. There are so many things happening in the Lin family, and my daughter walks on thin ice every day."

The emperor also heard about the affairs of the Lin family. After hearing this, he just laughed: "It's hard for you. I heard that this time when the Xu family returns to Beijing, you don't have to walk on thin ice in the future. My father has lost his official position, but your uncle's family is still in trouble." dignified."

dignified?

Lin Jinhua was slightly taken aback. What does the emperor mean to promote his uncle?
Zhao Qing took a deep look at her.

But the emperor laughed: "The youngest daughter of the Xu family seems to be only one year younger than you. She has reached the age of marriage, and it happens that my ninth son has no concubine yet. Isn't it just right?"

Lin Jinhua's heart tightened a little, Zhao Zhao's exuberant temperament was not suitable for the royal family.

She immediately said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Zhao is still young, and uncle..."

"Your uncle hasn't spoken yet, so you're not happy?" interrupted her like a queen.

Lin Jinhua suddenly came back to her senses. She had no right to veto the emperor's decision, but her heart sank.

The emperor looked at her and smiled meaningfully: "I haven't made a decision on this matter, but you can ask your uncle. If he disagrees, I will not issue this imperial decree. I never do it." Things that are difficult for the strong.”

Lin Jinhua knew that the emperor wanted to test the Xu family's loyalty, so she just bowed her knees and saluted without further words.

The emperor sat for a while, and then left. When Zhao Qing passed by Lin Jinhua's side, he whispered, "I'll wait for you outside the palace gate." After finishing speaking, he left quickly.

After everyone had left, the queen asked someone to invite Yuan Lvyi in, and then looked at Lin Jinyu lightly and said, "The emperor told you this to help you. If the Xu family gains power, it will mean something to King Ning." What are you talking about, I believe you know very well."

Lin Jinhua lost all respect for the queen, and only lowered her eyes with a bit of indifference: "I understand. I have caused so much trouble for my empress today. I am really a fool of my empress. Please punish me."

"It's good that you understand." The queen changed her previous gentleness and intimacy, and said lightly: "I also want you to understand that if you have no power or power, anyone will come up to bully you and step on you. Now we are in the same boat, if this palace is not well, your Lin family will have no support at all, understand?"

Lin Jinhua clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, lowered her eyes and responded softly: "Your servant understands."

"And..." The Empress knew that it was impossible to do anything to Concubine De today, and Zheng Jiaojiao, who only wanted to leave, said: "I can see that Zheng Jiaojiao is interested in Huaiyan, and the Minister of the Ministry of War is the one." If the one with the greatest real power among the six can win Huaiyan's title as Minister of the Ministry of War again, then Concubine De and King Jing will no longer be Huaiyan's opponents."

"So the empress means..."

"Go and cure Zheng Jiaojiao, and I don't want to hear any news about you having trouble with her in the future." The queen said coldly, her tone almost commanding.

"Yes."

Seeing her responding to everything, the queen didn't say anything more, she just let her go out, and after she left, she said to Yun Jiang beside her: "She is smart, it depends on whether she listens or not."

Yun Jiang thought of Lin Jinhua whom he had met a few times before, poured a cup of tea for the queen, and said slowly: "I think this Miss Lin has a delicate heart, and the empress has separated from her so early, would it be bad? "

"No matter how exquisite my darling is, she is only 15 years old now. Besides, she should have seen clearly that Huai Yan was trained by me alone, how could she only marry one person..."

"My lord doesn't know what you think..." Yun Jiang just wanted to remind her of Zhao Huaiyan's temperament, but the queen just frowned: "If he still wants to marry Lin Jinhua, he must listen to me." After that, read it Looking at the direction Lin Jinhua left, he said, "Go and pick out some high-quality silk and pearl jewelry for her, and remind her to finish Zheng Jiaojiao's business earlier. The Minister of the Ministry of War is a big fish, so I can't give it to Concubine De!"

"Your servant understands." Yun Jiang responded, and opened her mouth again, seeing her hostility and prudence today, she swallowed the words back.

On Lin Jinhua's way out of the palace, Mo Xue said from the side; "Miss, you should tell the prince about this."

"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded slightly, her mind was already spinning rapidly.Save Zheng Jiaojiao?It doesn't exist, as for Duanhui who has been making troubles all the time and the queen who is wholeheartedly treating her as a pawn, it is really a problem. The only solution is to let the queen fight with Concubine De and have no time to take care of herself.

Just as she was thinking about it, when she went out of the palace gate, a person appeared in front of her blocking the way. Lin Jinzheng looked up along his red brocade clothes, met his usual teasing eyes, took a step back indifferently, and saluted: "Nine His Royal Highness."

"Are you angry that I want to marry Xu Zhaozhao?" he said.

Lin Jinhua was surprised that he knew Zhao Zhao's name.

But he immediately took a step closer, and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, Xu Zhaozhao's marriage to me is definitely better than marrying your servant. Miss Lin, can you take the jade butterfly that the side concubine gave you before?"

"Since Brother Nine Emperors wants it, why don't you go back to the mansion and ask Concubine Wei?"

Zhao Huaiyan's voice sounded indifferent, and when Lin Jinhua turned around, he saw him coming out of the python robe that hadn't changed yet.

The palace people all stepped aside cautiously, Zhao Qing saw that he was dressed cold, and only smiled and said: "Brother Dahuang came just in time."

"Isn't the Nine Emperor Brothers very clear about the whereabouts of this king? Why didn't you guess that this king would come out of the imperial father's imperial study in advance?" Zhao Huaiyan stepped forward indifferently and protected Lin Jinhua behind him.

Zhao Qing smiled, her peach blossom eyes turned into crescent moons, and when she looked at him, she could only admire him: "Brother Dahuang is Brother Dahuang, but I have thought about it for a long time before I thought of the trick that trapped you in the imperial study. It will be out in half an hour. That’s all, I’ve lost, so I’ll go back to the mansion and copy the big characters.” Once he made a mistake when he was young, Zhao Huaiyan would ask him to copy the big characters.

Zhao Huaiyan's face was not moved at all, and he only ordered Gao Zhi: "Send the Ninth Prince back to the residence."

"Yes." Gao Jie responded immediately.

A hint of evil flashed in Zhao Qing's eyes, she glanced at Lin Jinhua, turned her head and left.

During the conversation between the two, Lin Jinhua had faintly sensed that something was wrong. She had always thought that Zhao Qing was Zhao Huaiyan's right-hand man, but now it seemed that Zhao Qing had always wanted to suppress Zhao Huaiyan.

"Scared?" Zhao Huaiyan looked back at her tenderly.

Lin Jinhua shook her head, she was not afraid, just worried.

Seeing this, Zhao Huaiyan raised his hand to rub her small head, and then said: "You go back to the mansion first, I'll go see the queen." When the word queen was mentioned, his whole body had already started to feel cold.

Lin Jinhua nodded slightly, seeing him leave quickly again, feeling a little more at ease, then turned her head to Mo Xue and said, "You don't have to wait for tomorrow, let's go to Zheng's mansion to see Miss Zheng today." If Zheng Jiaojiao wants to do something wrong, she can't blame her.
