As soon as Zhuang Chengrong said these words, Miss Jin's heart suddenly burst into joy.

She originally wanted to be a noble of that day's family, but Zhuang Chengrong, except for the first glance at her, his eyes never fell on her again. Then he saw the stunningly beautiful Shen Qiujun. Only then did he realize that there was someone else, and he had already felt ashamed of himself How dare fireflies compete with the sun and moon?

The most important thing is that although she doesn't have much experience, she still has the ability to recognize people. What happened at this moment is enough for her to see that Zhuang Chengrong is a ruthless person. Cherish your little life, and since she was born in a humble family, she was just a noble person in the palace, and she had to live behind so many concubines, so marrying into an official family as the head wife would be a better choice.

Although it was a bit aggrieved for a young girl to marry an old man with white hair, the marriage was granted by the emperor himself. This was a rare good thing in the world. With the emperor's golden words, her life in the Shi family would not be a problem. Besides, she had no problem. She is sure to charm the emperor, but winning the heart of an old man is not a problem. Once the old man is gone in the future, the huge Shi family's fortune will still be in her hands.

The more Miss Jin thought about it, the more beautiful it became, but she was also afraid that the shop would be gone after passing this village, so she hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, the sage, and the daughter of the people have accepted the decree, thank you for the marriage."

Shen Qiujun just wanted to teach Mrs. Shi and her son a lesson at that time, but she did not expect that Zhuang Chengrong would do things so brilliantly. However, she had no intention of speaking and only watched the excitement: This kind of beauty-promoting culture must be stopped, otherwise you will not be able to do it in the future. I'll do the same for you, Mrs. Shi asked for it this time, and she was happy to scare the monkeys.

Mrs. Shi didn't expect Zhuang Chengrong to deal with it like this. She suddenly panicked. Looking at her niece's shameless joy, she couldn't help but glared at her. She didn't bother to beat or scold her, she just kowtowed to Zhuang Chengrong helplessly. He said: "Your Majesty, you can't do this!" He then pulled his son and begged: "Please tell your Majesty quickly, this won't work."

Mr. Xiaoshi was also in a panic. Although Zhuang Chengrong had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold, and he couldn't help but shuddered in his heart. Knowing that things could never be changed, he could only kowtow desperately and said: "I am dizzy for a moment. , I have nothing to do with my mother for doing such stupid things. I am willing to take full responsibility for it, and I hope the emperor will show mercy."

Zhuang Chengrong smiled and said: "You are also quite talented. You have always performed extremely well, how could you do such a thing? I think you must have lost your mind."

Master Xiaoshi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "I am confused, and I ask the emperor to take back my order. I will strictly restrain my family from now on, and be loyal to the emperor and empress with all my heart."

Zhuang Chengrong shook his head and sighed: "I can understand your loyalty. It's just that your health is not good, so you should treat it early. Besides, it's a brain disease, so you can't delay it. So, you can go home to recuperate first. I can also have time to help your father arrange the marriage. Maybe this time, your dizziness will be cured, and you won’t have to suffer from it again. Who knows when your dizziness will attack? If you miss something important, I think this is not what you want to see. As for your mother, since you also think she is unworthy, then send her back to your parents' home."

Mrs. Shi, mother and son, suddenly collapsed on the ground. The son was dismissed from office, the mother was divorced, and the cousin married his uncle as his stepwife. Is there anything more tragic in the world than this?

Shen Qiujun looked at the narrow-minded Zhuang Chengrong and couldn't help but laugh. Zhuang Chengrong turned to look at his wife and said with a smile: "You can't solve anything by beating this person up, so it's safest to do something like this. Now, if anyone dares to think of this again, he will be beaten to death by his own mother first without you having to beat him."

The couple left hand in hand, no longer paying attention to the several people kneeling on the ground who seemed to be falling into the Abi Hell or ascending to the clouds.

Within a few days, this self-inflicted incident was considered a joke by everyone in the capital, and it spread in the streets and alleys with great relish. Almost everyone knew about it.

The common people didn't care about it and just laughed at it for fun, but the family who was about to send a girl to the palace to choose a concubine couldn't help but think about it carefully.

At this time, such an incident occurred, and Zhuang Chengrong said in public, "Since I already have the queen as my companion, naturally I can't see her in my eyes." This clearly showed an attitude to everyone: This I'm afraid the second choice of concubine was just a perfunctory way to deal with the Supreme Emperor.

So the family inevitably discussed the matter of choosing a concubine for a long time, and then gave detailed instructions to their girls, just to make sure that there were no mistakes, and as for the performance in front of the emperor and the queen, they should stay away as far as possible. How far?

Among the women who received the invitation, there were those who were elegant and chaste. They had a normal heart. It was because of the emperor's grace that they were chosen. It didn't matter if they were not chosen. Therefore, when things happened in the Shi family this time, it was not very serious. Keep it in mind.

Of course, there are also many women with other thoughts. These girls are generally fifteen or sixteen years old. When Zhuang Chengrong was at his worst, they were just born. They only heard others mention how insidious and vicious Zhuang Chengrong was, but as time went on After he ascended to the throne of the supreme emperor in the world, all this became a legend in his life.

And because of that legend, it added a layer of mystery to Zhuang Chengrong, which aroused people's curiosity and always wanted to get closer to him to find out. Not to mention, the young emperor's extreme love for the queen, that scene The unprecedented wedding of an emperor and an empress has long been deeply engraved in everyone's heart. Which girl does not have a child, and which woman does not hope that her husband will treat her like this in the future?

As a result, the families waiting for selection did not dare to be careless, and when they had time, they persuaded their daughters not to blindly seek the limelight for the sake of the family's future.

Dingguo Gongfu is also one of them.

Speaking of which, Duke Dingguo's mansion did not have any daughters of the right age to be selected. However, it happened that one of Duke Dingguo's younger brothers had been stationed at the border. Because in recent years, there have been many rising stars. According to the Lin family's low-key principle of doing things, within a few years, General Lin also wanted to return his military power and settle in the capital. It happened that he had a daughter when he was old, so he naturally loved her very much and was reluctant to marry her locally. So he sent his family to the capital and asked his elder brother and sister-in-law to help arrange the marriage. .

In view of the status of Duke Dingguo's mansion in the capital, Shen Qiujun also sent an invitation to the Miss Lin family to attend the Qunfang Banquet.

That day, Lin Jingzhou said to his wife Li Yaoqin: "When you have time, go and talk to Ping'er. She has been in the frontier for a long time. I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to the life in the capital for a while, and she may feel homesick."

Li Yaoqin then smiled and said: "Look what you said, if I don't go with her someday, even if I don't go looking for her, she will come to me to play."

This is true. Lin Ping grew up in the border area with her parents. She has a lively personality and is the eye-catcher of her parents. She is also very forthright in speaking. As a result, she is somewhat incompatible with the other women in the capital.

Others think she is rude

, she thinks others are shy and pretentious, but Li Yaoqin has a very tolerant temperament and can talk to anyone. Lin Ping also likes this cousin very much and feels that her vision is different from ordinary women.

Very talkable.

Lin Jingzhou thought for a while and said: "That's okay. Since she likes to play with you, you should put aside the things at hand and spend more time with her. If not, let Xiuzhi Xiuying help you, she will

Anyway, people have nothing to do every day. Besides, now that the Qunfang Banquet is getting closer and closer, you have to think of a way to teach her some rules and don't cause any trouble."

When Li Yaoqin mentioned the two concubines, the smile on her face became a little stiff, but she still agreed obediently.

Lin Jingzhou added: "Since you are familiar with the Queen, if you have the opportunity to meet the Queen, you must make it clear the Lin family's attitude: We only want to be pure ministers, not relatives of the emperor. Alas, this harem has always been a thing

If it’s not a nest, our Lin family can’t interfere in it.”

Li Yaoqin whispered: "The queen now is different from when she was the princess. I can see her wherever I want. Besides, she is busy with the banquet now. I'm afraid she won't have time to see me for a while."

Lin Jingzhou also laughed when he heard this and said: "I didn't think well about this. Anyway, when you and Ping'er are together, you should also tell her more about the Queen's temper, so as not to offend the Queen and not know what happened.

What happened? See also

Does she have any thoughts that she shouldn't have? Fortunately, she doesn't. If she has some thoughts, you must persuade her to give it up. I think you have heard about the rumors about the Shi family during this period. It's better to stay in peace.

Blessing."

Li Yaoqin hurriedly nodded in agreement, sent her husband out for a while, and dealt with a few things. She was sitting there drinking tea and resting. Lin Ping had already found out that her cousin-in-law was free, so she ran over happily, pulling Li Yaoqin and chattering for a while.

Joking.

Li Yaoqin then smiled and said: "The newly made clothes have just been delivered to the house. I was about to look for you, but you came by yourself, saving me the trouble. Give it a try and see if there is any difference."

If it's suitable, let someone change it as soon as possible, so as not to delay wearing it at the Qunfang Banquet."

When Lin Ping heard this, she smiled and said: "In the past few months since I came to the capital, I have made many sets of clothes because of my cousin's love. I'm afraid the needleworkers in the house have kept my size in mind.

Once you get there, there will be no mistakes. This fitting session won't happen all at once, but my cousin's time is limited, so you might as well have a nice chat with me."

Seeing Lin Ping's behavior, Li Yaoqin had no choice but to smile and say, "Why don't you try on the clothes and let's talk at the same time without delay."

Lin Ping had no choice but to pouted, picked up her clothes, and remained motionless. She just opened her shining eyes and asked with a smile: "I heard that my sister-in-law and the empress are close friends. The empress is as beautiful as the rumors say."

?”

Without waiting for Li Yaoqin to answer, Lin Ping said again: "When I was at the border, I heard people talk about how much today's emperor loves and dotes on her. It seems that she must be a rare beauty in the world, otherwise she would not have been doting on her for more than ten years.

, and even went out of his way to marry her into the palace, but I heard

He said, "Today, there are very few beautiful men in the world. I wonder which of the two of them will be more beautiful than the other?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
