Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 20 Entering the Palace for the First Time

The two daughters were betrothed to his favorite disciples. In terms of the family backgrounds of the He family and the Jin family, they are still very good. The ancestors of the Jin family once inherited the title. The ability pushed the Jin family up again. Mr. Jin sat in the position of Grand Scholars in the palace. The Jin family rose from decline to victory. On the outside, they are not as good-looking as the He family. As for the background, it is also true to look up. Very deep.

The reason why Mrs. Lu agreed to this marriage was because in the Jin family, Jin Shaoyang was the only son of the big family. Mrs. Jin passed away not long after giving birth to her daughter. After getting married, at least the mother-in-law won't make things difficult for her, and she can hold these troublemakers in her hands as soon as possible.

Although there are still two and three bedrooms, but there is no Chengjue matter, and there is a big one less contention and involvement.

The husband and wife also discussed for a long time before they came to this decision. Lin Wenxi's selection of his own students naturally had his considerations in it. The Lu family does not care about these matters related to the government. What she cares about is some of the inner house of the Jin family. As for the matter, which mother has no selfishness and does not think about her own children? Lu's thinking is as simple as that. How her daughter lives after marriage depends on her own. Hundreds of people have different ways of living, but what kind of marriage In a family, the mother has to choose carefully for her daughter
And here the second sister's marriage was finally settled, and Lin Qingran followed Lin Wenxi into the palace.

It was the end of November at this time, and the weather was very cold, and the palace suddenly summoned Lin Wenxi to take the fifth girl of his family into the palace. There was no way to shirk it. On the way to the palace, Lin Wenxi quickly made up for his daughter in the carriage. Let's talk about the rules to be followed in this palace.

Lin Qingran was actually a little dizzy when she heard it. In summary, don't look, don't walk, don't talk, just stay behind Dad.

Lin Wenxi looked at her, and said solemnly, "When you enter the palace later, no matter who wants to take you there to meet other people, you have to say that you need to talk to dad first, there are so many people in the palace."

Lin Qingran nodded, "Understood, Dad." Why did she feel that this was about to enter the dragon's pond and tiger's lair? Dad's expression was solemn from the moment he knew about it, and he couldn't help asking, "Dad, is it the emperor who wants to see me?" ?”

"You'll know when you go." Lin Wenxi patted her head, afraid that it was someone else, not the Holy One, who was going to meet.

When he arrived in the palace and went to the small garden behind the Yuming Hall, and saw the figure of the emperor and his son-in-law, Lin Wenxi realized that he was thinking too seriously.

When the emperor turned his head, he happened to see Lin Wenxi coming over. He smiled and didn't seem to have much airs. Lin Wenxi led Lin Qingran to kneel down and salute quickly. This kneeling hurts when his knees hit the cobblestone pavement. Lin Qing Ran Ji saluted respectfully, waited until the emperor spoke before getting up, and then stood beside her father, hiding half of her body behind him, with her head slightly lowered, not daring to look directly at him.

"Come on, I just had a round with Chen Consort Chen, Wen Xi, come, you have a round with him." Following the voice of the emperor, Lin Qingran looked over, and there was another man standing there. He looked like his father, followed by two boys, and the eunuch on the side was holding a plate with something familiar on it. If you look carefully, it's just a sandbag!
Lin Qingran saw a frame that had been erected. The frame was divided into four rows horizontally. On each row were placed four bottles with spacing. Came to get sandbags to throw those bottles.

"I obey the order." Lin Wenxi took Lin Qingran over there, greeted Concubine Chen, and asked her to stand aside and watch. Lin Wenxi picked up the sandbags on the plate, stood outside the line and threw them on the shelf , four bottles in a row, it seems that the distance is not very far, but it is not easy to hit when throwing the ten sandbags on the plate, only six bottles on the shelf are down, Lin Wenxi saw Chen Concubine glanced at it and said with a smile, "I'm here to be the last one." The emperor won nine and Chen Concubine won seven. Lin Wenxi's throws are really of a standard.

Chen Concubine also laughed, the emperor over there was not happy, and waved for someone to tidy up, "I didn't ask you to come and be modest."

Just after finishing speaking, another eunuch came in with two people, one old and one young, to salute in front of the emperor.

At this time, there were already four children in the garden including Lin Qingran, but they all stayed quietly beside their elders. The emperor saw that everyone had arrived, so he stood there with a smile and said, "It's cold, It's fine to stay at home on a rest day, I have asked people to collect a few small folk games, and today I invite you all to bring your children to play together."

Lin Qingran heard what he said, and then looked at the things that had been prepared. Isn't this a parent-child activity?

In a hurry and not knowing the truth, he brought the child into the palace, but it was just for fun, really only the emperor can make such a arbitrary decision.

Sensing that someone was looking at her, Lin Qingran raised her head slightly, and knowing that the gaze came from the emperor, Lin Qingran quickly lowered her head, as her mother said, when entering the palace, keep a low profile as much as you can, and don't make any publicity.

"Wenxi, the two boys in your family are still too young, so I can only let you bring your daughter here." Then the emperor's voice sounded, calling Lin Wenxi very kindly.

But no matter how kind the emperor shouted, none of the people present dared to relax. Over there Chen Concubine took a look, had a face-to-face meeting with Lin Wenxi and then turned back.

"The little girl is naughty, the emperor laughed at her." Lin Wenxi replied respectfully.

"It's called Qingran, right? Come on, come to me and let me take a good look." After being called, Lin Qingran shuddered, and subconsciously looked at her father. Lin Wenxi nodded, and Lin Qingran swallowed her saliva. Step forward.

Finally walking in front of the emperor, Lin Qingran stood obediently, and a voice came from above her head, "You are afraid of me."

Lin Qingran nodded subconsciously, then suddenly shook her head hurriedly, clutching the corner of her clothes with her small hands, her face suddenly tangled.

Her childlike naivety was evident, the emperor laughed out loud, and the eunuch at the side brought up a plate, and the emperor directly took the jade pendant on it and said to Lin Qingran, "Girl, I heard you can compose poetry?"

Lin Qingran shook her head, and said obediently, "If you go back to the emperor, the daughters of the people will not be able to, it is all taught by daddy."

The emperor's expression remained unchanged, "Oh? The poems you wrote when your sister got married were also taught by your father?"

"Yes." Lin Qingran finally regained his composure, and replied without blushing, "Father said that when my sister gets married, I can't let my brother-in-law enter the house so easily, and I can't make things difficult for them, so I taught the girls to do it. "

It would be right to push everything to Xueba dad, she was only five years old at that time, she didn't understand anything, so whatever dad said, she would do it.

The smile on the emperor's face didn't stop, he gave Lin Wenxi a meaningful look, stopped asking Lin Qingran anything, but put the jade pendant in her hand, patted her head, and praised her, "Your father put the You teach well."

Lin Qingran returned to her father's side, her hand holding the jade pendant was covered with sweat. Before entering the palace, she didn't feel how scary the emperor was, but after she saw her, she realized that some people just look at you with a smile, and they can make you laugh. You have a sense of fear that will make you surrender to him from the bottom of your heart, and this is the person in front of you.

Lin Wenxi helped her back and gently pushed her back. Lin Qingran calmed down, loosened her grip on the jade pendant, put her hands behind her, and wiped her sweat quietly
After calling Lin Qingran alone, the emperor didn't call anyone else, and asked them to play those little games that had been set up.

After all, he was playing these things with the emperor, whether it was Chen Consort, Lin Wenxi, or the older official who arrived later, they all controlled the loss to the emperor.

The two children brought by Chen Consort were playing bamboo sticks there. They often followed the princess consort into the palace, and they were relatively comfortable. Lin Qingran didn't know them well, so they couldn't play together at all, so she sat here, Turning the chessboard on the table, put the chess pieces in the chess box up one by one, the white chess pieces form a circle, and the black chess pieces form eyes and mouths, forming a big smiling face.

Looking at the big smiling face, Lin Qingran couldn't help but twitched into a smile. She raised her head to look at her father, and happened to meet a pair of clear eyes. He didn't know how long he had been standing here, and there was no joy in his expression. The angry expression, just looking at her just now, is simple and clear.

Lin Qingran looked down at the silly smiling face on the chessboard, and felt a little embarrassed. She gathered the chess pieces together with both hands, and looked at him fiercely, "What are you looking at!" Appeared quietly, Scary to death.

Shao Ziyu was slightly startled when he saw her staring at him angrily, there was still no expression on his face, but someone moved, and sat opposite her, without saying a word, he picked up the chess pieces she had messed up and put them in the chess box Here, pick them up one by one, without rushing.

Shao Ziyu picked up half of it, and suddenly a small hand snatched the chess piece in his hand and put it on the other side of the chessboard. In the chess box.

Lin Qingran was angry.

Suddenly a person appeared, who looked pleasing to the eye, but stood beside her silently for an indeterminate amount of time, and for an indescribable amount of time watching her foolishly smiling at herself playing chess pieces, and then sat down on her in a silent voice. Opposite her, she picked up the chess pieces and put them in the chess box, and didn't respect her for sitting here first, she didn't even ask, that's rude!
Lin Qingran reached out and grabbed a handful from the chess box and put them on the chessboard. The person opposite was just stunned for a moment, and stopped picking up the chess pieces. Seeing a chess piece rolling away, he kindly moved the chess piece to Lin Qingran. Qingran looked up at her, her eyes were still clear, and there seemed to be a little more smile

Not far away, the emperor saw the two people sitting there, he could only see them playing chess pieces, and said to Lin Wenxi and Master Shaohou, "Ziyu and this girl get along well."

Lin Wenxi only saw her daughter's angry expression just now, so she couldn't tell that she got along well, but seeing the happy look of the emperor, she could only smile and nod, but Master Shao looked at his grandson a few more times.

"Since they like it, then I will give this chessboard to them." As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, Lin Wenxi and Master Shao were stunned. How to divide two people on a chessboard? Before Lin Wenxi could open his mouth, the emperor said again, "One person Take the chessboard, one person takes the pieces, you can discuss it yourself." The tone was very casual.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and asked Prince Chen to throw an arrow.

Lin Wenxi and Lord Shao looked at each other, what does the emperor mean by this?
