concubines are respected

Chapter 117 Proposals
Suxian's mind tightened, the emperor's order?Ever since she entered the palace to serve the Empress Dowager, and even followed the Empress Dowager to the palace, Suxian had never paid homage to the emperor in a serious way, but now she is in such an embarrassing atmosphere, and she doesn't know how much trouble will be caused later.

Suxian sighed slightly, and responded helplessly.

After the eunuch was ordered to leave, Murong Haotian raised his hand and stroked Suxian's shoulder, patted comfortingly, and said softly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Then he took Suxian's hand and walked towards the platform.

Along the way, there was a burst of warmth from the palms, and Suxian felt much more at ease. When she came to the platform, Suxian gently pulled her warm palms away, smoothed her hair, and tried her best to calm down and calm down. He stepped up the steps slowly, and walked in with an neither humble nor overbearing expression.

In the hall, the music stopped, and the dancers also retreated. The hall was completely silent. The emperor and the queen mother sat firmly on it, staring at the two people entering the hall with piercing eyes, without saying anything.

The sixth princess stood under the hall with a stubborn expression, raising her hand to gently wipe the corners of her eyes, her eye circles were slightly rosy, she thought she had just cried to the emperor.

"Haotian has met the emperor."

"Minister Lin Suxian has met the emperor."

"You are Lin Suxian? Raise your head and let me see." The emperor's voice could not hear any emotion, but it sounded like a frosty wind to Suxian, with a shivering chill.

"Yes." Suxian hesitated for a while, then raised her head slightly, her clear eyes met the Ninety-Five Supreme on the Dragon Throne.

"Well, you really have some beauty." The emperor said in a low voice, "I have heard about your marriage contract with Haotian. Old Marquis Annan was an important minister by my side before he was alive, and I will respect his last wish. However, Haotian needs You have to keep filial piety for the old Marquis of Annan for three years, and now you are so impatient, it seems out of place."

Although the emperor's tone was still calm, his words revealed dissatisfaction with Suxian.

Su Xianxiu's eyebrows were slightly locked, and she glanced at the sixth princess from the corner of her eye, and saw that she was staring at her angrily, and said to herself, I don't know how you gossip in front of the emperor, making the emperor mistakenly think that I am anxious It's normal to marry into the Hou's mansion.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the girl for being so helpless. I don't know why the Emperor said this, and the girl is terrified." Suxian said in a deep voice without changing her expression.

"Your Majesty, I think you have misunderstood Miss Lin." Hao Tian said respectfully with his fists clasped.

As soon as the words fell, the sixth princess shouted eagerly, "Brother Haotian, you are still protecting this bitch. Just now she was clearly seducing her words and deeds in the garden. How can such a shameless woman be worthy of marrying into the Hou's mansion to give you the gift of marriage?" For a wife!"

"Princess Six!" Murong Haotian's tone became much more serious. Due to the emperor's presence, he still said in a respectful tone, "Miss Lin is Haotian's wife who has never married. Haotian has already reported this matter to the emperor. Just now Haotian Instead of just meeting by chance in the garden and casually chatting a few words, how can we use words and deeds to seduce."

"I, I clearly saw it just now..." The sixth princess stomped her feet resolutely, but she met Murong Haotian's ink-dropping eyes, and there was a faint chill in her eyes. The sixth princess was slightly startled, and then stopped. In words, pursed his mouth again, and called out to the emperor, "Father, you once promised to give Zitong a marriage. Now if such a woman appears, where do you put Zitong? If Zitong doesn't obey, Purple pupil refuses!"

Zitong's temperament has always been straightforward and uninhibited, and she doesn't know how to avoid suspicion when she speaks bluntly.Today, in front of all the concubines, she blurted out the marriage offer. Although it was a bit abrupt, everyone who knew her temperament had already gotten used to it.

Only concubine Rou who was sitting on the side shouted in a low voice anxiously, "Tong'er, don't talk nonsense. Your father will make decisions for you in matters of marriage, how can you be so glib!"

"Mother, Concubine, Tong'er has long asked Father for a marriage order, and Father has also agreed, how can you say that Tong'er made a slip of the tongue!" The sixth princess's spoiled temper came up, so she didn't care about other things, just said it to herself .

"Cough, cough..." The emperor coughed with a headache, trying to hide his embarrassment, and glanced sideways at the queen mother who was sitting beside her.

The Empress Dowager shook her head helplessly, if these words today came from other women, they would definitely be despised by others, and even the emperor would be furious.

But the person who said these words was the emperor's most beloved sixth princess. Even though her words were flimsy and she did not have the restraint of a daughter's family, but because the emperor had already awarded it in the palace, "Purple pupils do not need to be accepted by the palace." If you are not bound by regulations, you can say it bluntly, "the imperial decree, and it should be taken for granted."

"Your Majesty, Zi Tong is sixteen this year and has reached the age of marriage. Since her heart belongs to Haotian, she can simply be married to fulfill her." The queen mother said in a low voice.

Although the Queen Mother's voice was extremely low, the hall was extremely quiet, so that Murong Haotian's words could be heard word by word.

"Your majesty, Haotian and the Lin family have a long-standing marriage contract, I hope the emperor will think twice." Murong Haotian spoke a little faster at this time, if he didn't express his heart in time, once the emperor opened his mouth and issued a decree to grant the marriage, To disobey the order is to resist the order, so what should be done!
"Haotian, don't worry, I know that you, even a filial person, respect the last words of the old Marquis Annan. Naturally, I will not let the Marquis Annan's mansion lose its trust. In my opinion, the daughter of the Lin family can be made a concubine. In this way The Marquis of Annan's Mansion is also giving an explanation to Lin's Mansion, I wonder what Haotian thinks?" Although the emperor spoke in such a tone, it was in a negotiating tone, it seems that the emperor also attached great importance to Murong Haotian's opinion.

"Your Majesty..." Murong Haotian looked troubled, pondered for a moment, and replied seriously, "Your Majesty, Haotian asks Your Majesty to think twice."

Murong Haotian didn't answer directly, but the contradiction in his words was self-evident.

The emperor showed displeasure on his face, and his tone became colder, "What? Could it be that my daughter is not worthy of the Marquis of Annan's residence!"

Seeing the emperor's uneasy expression, the sixth princess was afraid that the emperor would turn his anger on Murong Haotian because of this matter. Although she had a grudge against Murong Haotian's refusal to marry on the spot, she did not want this matter to end.His gaze stayed on Suxian's thin and thin shoulders, his eyes flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"Father, Tong'er often listens to Father's teachings on weekdays. The grandpa won the Daqing world on horseback. Therefore, all the children of Daqing are good at riding and shooting. As far as Tong'er knows, the old Marquis Annan was also brave and good at fighting when he was alive. , Mrs. Annan Laohou's wife, and mother of Brother Haotian, also came from the general family. In the past when foreign tribes invaded, she used to fight against the enemy side by side with Annan Laohou. This incident was once passed down in the Daqing Dynasty. Speaking of this matter, I also praised Brother Haotian's mother for her heroic appearance on the battlefield. If this is the case, how can a woman who has no power to restrain a chicken be qualified to marry into the Annanhou's mansion. Although Tong'er has a heart Brother Haotian, but he doesn’t want to get the name of forced marriage because of this. Tong’er implores the emperor’s father to allow Tong’er to compare with Lin Suxian’s riding and shooting skills. If Tong’er loses, Tong’er thinks that he is not worthy of Brother Haotian , willing to admit defeat. If Lin Suxian loses, everything depends on the decision of the father and emperor."

The sixth princess proudly raised her chin, and asked Suxian with sarcasm in her eyes, "Lin Suxian, do you dare to fight?"
