Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 189 The Empress Hints
Kong Linglong got out of the carriage, and Suye wanted to take her to see the queen herself, but the eunuch was not so easy to talk about this time, and said with a smile: "My lord, you don't need to be accompanied by you when you come here, she will wait for Miss Kong inside. Just let me wait and send it directly outside the palace gate."

They have already entered the inner palace at this moment, and the horses of the imperial guards and Fang Yin and others have already stayed outside the palace gate.Suye could only get here all the way in the carriage sent by the Queen.

Kong Linglong pushed Su Ye's hand away: "It's okay, I'll be leaving first."

She glanced at Su Ye, but in that glance, Su Ye understood what she meant.He couldn't help but clenched the imperial decree in his sleeve.

He knew that no matter how unwilling and unable to accompany her on the road ahead, he took out the imperial decree from the old dynasty, but the empress summoned her personally, which was already the best result at present. Linglong brings trouble.

So Suye endured, Kong Linglong's figure walked farther and farther in front, the eunuch was still worried that Suye would follow, so he turned his head vigilantly several times before he was relieved.

Without Su Ye following, the eunuch didn't have to pretend to be polite any more, he squinted at Kong Linglong and said, "I'll be in front of your empress in a while, don't be rude in front of the palace."

He asked again: "Do you understand the rules in the palace?"

Kong Linglong didn't say a word, she just walked forward, the eunuch was about to get angry, she responded lightly: "Don't bother me."

The eunuch gritted his teeth, seeing how arrogant he was when he was in front of the queen, did he really think that the queen called you because of her appreciation?
This group of eunuchs didn't know that the Kong family had an imperial decree, but they knew that Kong Linglong had clearly offended the nobles in the palace, and they dared to confront the fat man in front of him.

It was dozens of meters away from the Queen's Palace, and even the eunuch did not move forward, and said coldly, "Miss Kong can go on her own."

After saying these suggestive words, Kong Linglong looked up at the palace avenue in front of her, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and walked up.

It seems that the Queen's Palace is now completely cleared. Not only is there no one inside, but even the palace guards outside have to stay away from 30 meters away. This kind of confidentiality is so unwilling to reveal even a word.

But what should come will always come, Kong Linglong thought the same way when she stepped into the Queen's Phoenix Palace.

Unexpectedly, she heard a gentle voice that seemed to be filled with laughter: "It's a girl from the Kong family, come here quickly!"

Kong Linglong looked towards the source of the voice, and saw a woman in gorgeous palace attire standing in the hall, obviously waiting for her.

Kong Linglong went over immediately, even if it was the first time seeing a woman, the phoenix crown on her head and the noble aura all over her body made people feel awe.

She stood a few meters away from the empress, slowly bent her waist and said, "Minister Kong Linglong, I pay my respects to the empress."

The queen immediately took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand to hold her back, and said in the same gentle and smiling way: "Don't be too polite, it's just you and me here, why are you still stuck on those things?"

This sentence is soft and soft, which makes people feel comfortable. This way of meeting is indeed the spirit of the mother of a country.

Kong Linglong raised her eyes to look at the queen, and smiled at the queen.

The queen was a little surprised, and said after a while: "It's early in the morning, I'm afraid you haven't slept well yet? Come and sit down and rest first."

Kong Linglong sat down with her, and was pulled to the side by the queen. The queen looked her up and down a long time ago. The appearance of this girl from the Kong family surprised her. many.

And... She must have known the reason why she was summoned, but she didn't show any panic. The way she entered the palace just now, her natural attitude was as if she was in her own home. Linglong, it's hard for her to feel bad.

Kong Linglong let the queen look at her, she lowered her head just to show her respect, the queen couldn't help but said: "Girl, how old are you this year?"

Such a restrained etiquette almost made the queen blur her age.

And her willingness to call a girl a girl is also a kind of intimacy like a gift.

Kong Linglong also smiled lightly, and answered the queen: "In another month, I will be sixteen."

The queen was shocked. Doesn't this mean that the woman in front of her is just Jiji's age?The queen herself was born in the most strict big family in the world, and she felt that when she was 15 years old, she probably learned the court etiquette thoroughly, but if she said that she was calm, she dared not say that she did it completely.

This girl was born in a merchant, and when she thought of the mysterious old pilgrimage decree in her hand, the empress' eyes suddenly became complicated.

Kong Linglong knew very well that when she entered the palace today, she would be subject to all kinds of scrutiny. The queen's eyes were the most important first test. Will she be able to get out of the Phoenix Palace intact, or will the Phoenix Palace be her last resting place? Therefore, it all depends on how the most honorable woman in the world will judge her.

Thinking of this, Kong Linglong's expression became more humble, she just showed her brows and eyes so that the queen could clearly observe her.

The queen asked again: "Aren't you tired of carrying such a family business as a girl?"

Kong Linglong smiled, and then said softly: "I was born in the Kong family since I was a child, and enjoyed the blessings provided by my grandfather. I lived a life of luxury and luxury. Now that my grandfather has passed away, I can't even take care of the family business for him. , wouldn’t you be ashamed of him having a spirit in heaven?”

The queen didn't know what to say for a while, and said for a while: "Girls like you are mostly still under the protection of the family, but it is really not easy for you to stand up and bear the bloody storm."

Anyone who can be a queen may not be as charming as other concubines, but she must have the heart to be the mother of the country. This heart may not be spotless, and it may be stained with mud, but in the eyes of the world, her image must be gentle. Humility can be set as an example.

Kong Linglong's eyes froze for a moment: "No one can choose their own origin, Linglong is already lucky to be born in Kong's family."

The queen narrowed her eyes suddenly: "Oh? Why do you think so?"

Even if the Kong family is extremely rich, they don't have any identity to rely on. Why does Kong Linglong insist on staying in the Kong family?
Kong Linglong could feel the change in the queen's eyes, she said calmly, "Linglong was born in Xianyang, her parents were away since she was a child, and she grew up with the support of her grandfather alone, but Linglong has never experienced the pain of lack of relatives, because Grandpa was so radiant, he treated Linglong and the people around him without prejudice. Before his grandfather passed away, he allowed Linglong to support the Kong family, but he did not criticize Linglong's marriage too much. Grandfather once said that Linglong had no freedom when she was born as a daughter of the Kong family, but I hope Linglong has the right to choose more than other women in terms of marriage, and if she doesn't meet a man who can be entrusted to, even if she doesn't marry, she won't be imprisoned by him."

The queen shouted with an almost pale face: "Absurd! How can you say that you are imprisoned by the other party when you marry?!"

Kong Linglong looked at the queen calmly: "Your mother is the mother of the country. Not all women are as lucky as your mother, but they can marry a man who is the best in the world. Most women are still blindfolded and drawing lots. The moment the hijab was lifted, I knew who I was marrying, and there was no room for turning back whether it was good or bad. This is a life-long bet. If you win, it is the virtue of your ancestors. If you lose, you will have to lose your teeth in this life. The door is full of blood, and you have to pretend that the family is in harmony outside, and you dare not utter a word. If you are so depressed, wouldn't this life be in vain?"

The queen was so shocked that she couldn't speak. At the moment when Kong Linglong said that she was lucky to be born in the Kong family, the queen thought of many kinds of Kong Linglong's high-sounding answers. No kind of empress would be surprised if they value family affection whether it hurts or not, and no kind of empress might take it to heart.Because she would naturally feel that this girl was just trying to make a good impression in front of her.

But when Kong Linglong opened her mouth, she couldn't stand the collapse. She felt that Kong Linglong didn't want to impress her at all. It is not too much to describe what she said as shocking. For a woman, everything is false However, only those who are married for a lifetime are the most important, even the queen is no exception.

So Kong Linglong used this topic to cut in, and almost instantly broke through the mask the queen wore on her face.

And Kong Linglong's expression at this time is extremely serious and stubborn, giving people the feeling that she really did say these words sincerely, without a trace of reluctance, and it fell into the eyes of the queen. My daughter really thought so.

To make others believe you, especially the queen who has seen countless people believe you, you must first tell the truth.

This is the truth of Kong Linglong.

But this truth is "vulgar" and unreasonable, which is in line with her status as the daughter of a merchant.

Just right.

It took a while for the queen to cover her face and said, "Let me take it easy."

Kong Linglong didn't speak, she lowered her eyes again, with bottomless emotions in them.She needs to make the queen believe in her, and at the same time, let the queen have a kind of identification with her as a woman.

This kind of recognition is that there is no woman in this world who does not want to find a good husband. She complimented the queen as a lucky person, but only the queen knows whether the queen is lucky or not.And it is impossible for the queen to say that it is unlucky for her to marry the emperor.

But no matter how gorgeous and beautiful a person looks, the things that grow in the heart will never disappear even if they are never said, and they will exist for as long as they live. Tun, can't reveal a trace outside.

Isn't this more desolate?
It could be seen that the queen's hands were trembling slightly, but she looked at Kong Linglong again, still in disbelief: "I am really frightened by your child."

Kong Linglong bowed her head immediately: "Minister girls are mean and don't know how to speak properly. Please forgive me, Madam."

The queen sighed: "Forget it. You are also rare...youthful mind."

The queen branded Kong Linglong's words as a youthful heart, but Kong Linglong smiled inwardly, still a little bewildered, and did not answer the queen's words.

The empress sized her up again, taking into account the most subtle expressions in her eyes. At this moment, the empress' heart was even more complicated than when she first entered the palace.

The queen has thought about it a lot, but never thought that this girl is such a person.

It's not common sense at all, and it's not at all what it looks like.

The most important thing is that what Kong Linglong said is well-founded. Among all the information the queen heard the day before, there was a shocking resignation incident in Xianyang, which coincided with every word said by the girl in front of her.

It is crazy to reject the marriage of the noble son, and to be ridiculed by everyone openly and secretly, but this girl's own way of character seems to be branded in her body.She doesn't feel like she's done anything wrong.

The daughter of the Kong family has no freedom, but I can decide my own marriage.

For a while, the queen was unwilling and dared not admit whether she was a little envious.

The Queen strangled that little thought in her heart, and looked at Kong Linglong again: "You child, I really can't say anything. I also heard that you once divorced in disregard of objections. Then Mr. Liu What's wrong? If he wasn't good, how could you have agreed to this marriage?"

This is another temptation by the queen, because it is said that Kong Linglong herself agreed to the marriage at the beginning, which means that she is willing to marry to the Liu family, so what does all the posturing after that mean?
Kong Linglong had a cold expression on her face: "Because the son of the Liu family was famous in Xianyang before, Linglong also yearned for him. The marriage was made in a moment of enthusiasm. Later, grandfather always felt that Linglong acted too hastily, and Linglong was also worried about life-long events. Something went wrong, so Linglong used money to buy many servants of Liu's mansion, and asked them to help me find out whether Mr. Liu can be trusted for life. Who knows, several informants told me in succession that the Liu family looked down on me as an inferior merchant, and even came to propose marriage It wasn't out of good intentions, Linglong was so angry that she naturally wanted to divorce them, but she didn't expect the Liu family to be the first to sue and slander me a lot, but since I divorced, I will bear with it, anyway, I won't get married again in the future See, what about him?"

The queen felt that she was startled a little too early, what is this talking about?But the empress also knew it was true. The Liu family looked down on the matter of the Kong family. As early as when the spies came to report, the empress knew everything about it.However, she didn't expect that Kong Linglong would say this without concealing it, and even say this, this, and indignation?
Kong Linglong knew that since the moment she took out the old pilgrimage decree, her wealth and background had been reported to those in the palace who should know by eyes that could not see everywhere. What, how much to eat, the queen didn't know anything.

That being the case, she didn't hide anything, and simply told everything, including things about her and the Liu family.

The queen stroked her chest, paused, and said, "You are also a sincere child, and you actually bought it... In short, even if the Liu family really did something wrong, you don't have to be so desperate. Don't you know that everything that stays Come on the front line, is it also to give face to the other party?"

Kong Linglong said coldly: "They never gave me face, why should I give them face?"

The queen was at a loss for words again.

Kong Linglong raised her head, as if she had returned to that incident, revealing a hint of resentment.This is exactly the appearance of a daughter of a merchant family who has no city and has not read many books. If she has a grudge, she will not make false claims with you, and she will not bother to care about your consequences.

In the queen's deep eyes, there was also a ray of exploration of Kong Linglong.
