Chapter 233 The Emperor’s Joke
The emperor's face must be given. No matter how worried Lin Xiaoman was about the Third Prince and the others trying to plot against him, he could only say: "I am too reckless. I don't dare bother the Third Prince to come to apologize. Please don't do it."
Remember the hatred of my daughter."
The emperor looked at the third prince who was lying on the bed and peeping with squinting eyes. The third prince hurriedly said: "No, no. The princess is a woman, and I want to spend more time with the princess in the future."
Lin Xiaoman pursed her lips and said nothing. The meaning was obvious. She was a princess conferred by the emperor and had no friendship with the third prince. What was there to do? She was not afraid of gossip?
Her attitude made the third prince feel uneasy. He coughed and looked at the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine was also angry that Lin Xiaoman didn't know good from good and said bitterly: "Princess Qingping, do you think she looks down on my son? With the princess's background, if it weren't for the emperor's grace, she wouldn't be qualified to marry into the emperor's house as a concubine."
Lin Xiaoman bowed and said, "What the imperial concubine said is true. I don't have the qualifications, nor do I have the thoughts. What's more, I have been promised to someone else and will get married in a few months. I know how to avoid suspicion."
The meaning is very clear, I will avoid your son, you don't have to worry that I want to marry your son and be the concubine of the waiter.
The imperial concubine was so angry that her face became even more ugly. She had been favored in the palace for many years, but she didn't even look down on the queen. How could this little peasant girl like Princess Qingping have the courage?
He stared at the queen who was smiling and silent. It must have been this bitch who ordered her.
The empress who was eating melon silently nodded slightly to the angry concubine, not minding that she was resented by her again.
Now that the prince's ability to govern the country has been highly praised by the ministers, and there are several other princes assisting him, no matter how favored Concubine Ren is, her son will not even think about that position. She can only have the last laugh. With this old monster
A day when the concubine cried.
Lin Xiaoman seemed to see electricity crackling before the queen and the concubine, but the emperor kept looking at him with a smile, as if he could not see the struggle between the two women at all.
Lin Xiaoman cursed secretly in his heart: Big pig's hooves, watching two women competing for him and being jealous makes you feel bad, isn't it?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the emperor say: "Qingping, the husband you have chosen now is a seventh-grade county magistrate, right?"
Thinking of Lu Jin, Lin Xiaoman nodded proudly, "Back to the emperor, although he is only a seventh-rank official, he is young and promising. In order to feed and clothe the people, he does everything personally. He sows in spring and harvests in autumn. If not
Without him, I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish so many feats.”
The implication is that the emperor only awarded her a reward, leaving a county magistrate who worked hard for the people and made great contributions to get nothing, and was not afraid of chilling the hearts of his officials.
Yes, she is here to ask for a reward from her man. The emperor touched his nose, but felt a little funny in his heart, and said: "Qipin County Magistrate, the official is a bit young, and he is not suitable for you, Qingping. How about you?"
In this case, I decree to dissolve the engagement between you two. How about you choose my son?"
Lin Xiaoman was so shocked that he almost cursed. This emperor is so shameless. In order to marry a popular woman for his son, he actually wanted to break up others.
Not to mention that she was influenced by the ideology there and would not share the same husband with other women. Just talking about looks, none of the princes she had met could compare to Lu Jin.
Besides, she doesn't want to be locked up in a cage like a canary at all.
But the words should not be spoken too bluntly. Lin Xiaoman knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times, "Please take back your order, Your Majesty. My daughter was born in a peasant family, and the achievements she made were by chance in the fields. If she married
What is the difference between giving it to the prince and the caged bird with broken wings? I still want to grow more high-yield grain for the people in the rest of my life, so that the people of Daning can be fed and clothed, and no longer suffer from hunger and cold.
."
The emperor lowered his head and looked at Lin Xiaoman, and said in a deep voice: "I can let the emperor go to the fields with you to plant in spring and harvest in autumn, so as to grow more new food for the people..."
"The princes are all very noble. Not to mention doing these menial jobs, even standing in the fields is afraid of dirtying the princes' feet. If they don't serve well then, trouble may arise. Kuang Chennu and he like each other, if the emperor thinks
My daughter is not worthy of his status. It is better to take back my position as princess. From now on, my daughter will only be Mrs. Lu."
After saying that, Lin Xiaoman didn't dare to look up and look at the emperor's expression. What he said was a bit tough. If the emperor was a coward, his life would be at stake, let alone the position of the princess.
But fortunately, the emperor didn't mean to embarrass her too much. He just smiled and said, "I was joking with Qingping, but Qingping took her seriously. She is really an interesting girl."
Lin Xiaoman cursed: Are you joking about this kind of thing? If you are vain, would you really agree to choose one of his sons?
Fortunately, because of the emperor's joke, this matter was over.
After coming out of Fuchun Palace, Lin Xiaoman was afraid of another accident, so he didn't go to the imperial dining room and went directly back to the princess's mansion.
When I returned to the house, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't swallow it, so I went over there.
I searched online for props to treat people, and the ones that popped up were either itching powder or fart spray, which was quite interesting.
After finding a store in the same city, Lin Xiaoman agreed with the store backstage that they would immediately deliver it to the same city. In addition to itching powder and stinky fart spray, Lin Xiaoman also bought some fake blood capsules on the recommendation of the store. If the Third Prince dares to come here again,
To provoke her, use itching powder and fart spray on him, and then take a fake blood capsule to see if he can’t be killed!
In less than an hour, it was delivered by courier in the same city. Lin Xiaoman opened it and took a look. The itching powder came in a bag, and the fart spray bottle was not big, so it was very convenient to carry around.
During dinner, I received some food from the imperial dining room in the palace. The little Dezi who brought it told Lin Xiaoman the news he heard in the palace in the afternoon.
"Princess, for some reason there was news in the palace today that the emperor was planning to marry the princess to a certain prince. Several princes in Beijing entered the palace in the afternoon and ran to the imperial dining room from time to time. Even the eighteenth prince was arrested.
Concubine Chen took her to the imperial dining room and asked someone to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake. The master asked the slave to tell the princess to be careful at tomorrow's birthday party and not to be left alone."
The eighteenth prince born to Concubine Chen? I heard he is only nine years old?
Lin Xiaoman frowned. The emperor said it was just a joke. What are these people planning? Is her name as Princess Qingping so famous now? Princes want to use their names to gain support from the people, so they are not afraid of causing trouble.
The queen is unhappy?
After all, her son is the prince, and these people have too many actions, which will affect the prince's position.
She had to go to tomorrow's birthday party. Lin Xiaoman was lucky. What if those princes didn't like her at all after seeing her in person?
