Li Cheng was a little confused when he saw Princess Xingrong passing by him angrily. Then he sneezed, this is such a noisy thing, crazy and ugly women often do strange things...
How does it look like my Axiu...
Lin Zhixiu rolled up her sleeves and sat there. Next to her were the three sisters Fang Qunqun and Zhang Pei's cousins, forming a small circle.
Not to mention that Lin Zhixiu attracts attention wherever he goes.
Just talking about the three sisters of the Fang family is enough to make people look at them endlessly!
Fang Qunqun finally got to the day where she could wear whatever she wanted and wear whatever she wanted. Her whole person was like a blooming peony flower, bright, full and unscrupulous.
Some people around her, especially those close to the palace, were unwilling to pay attention to her. Although they looked down upon her in every possible way, they only dared to scold her secretly in their hearts.
Because that tyrannical one-eyed dragon has been married to a wife for eight lifetimes, and his forehead is too low... Who dares to mess with her?
I was really angry, so I had to find the person who cared most about me and whispered, "I heard that they all live in that village!"
Who says there is no gossip in the royal family?
"Humph, I've never seen anything like this before. You haven't even married yet, but you just move in! The seventh ancestor doesn't care."
"I heard that the guy next to me who looks like that... is from the Lin family. Hehe... I still have contact with my ex-husband's family. They are really close!"
"I know! That one is the third in the Lin family. Humph, it seems she's not that good either! Look at the color she's wearing!" In fact, she's jealous of Lin Zhixiu...
Lin Zhixiu was sitting in the crowd, without her usual sensitivity, so she didn't know that others were criticizing her. She always felt a little uneasy. She didn't know what happened to Wu Jingxiang and how to deal with Li Feng's matter.
Also...
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Princess Heqing coming in from outside.
Today, Princess Heqing put on heavy makeup. Although the clothes were not bright, after all, her grandmother had not been here for a long time! But the style was very formal! The jewelry was a bit too expensive for a little girl. And
, Princess Heqing's expression was also somewhat solemn.
Before Lin Zhixiu could think about it, he saw Feng Jinling again.
Concubine Li didn't come, but she did? I never saw her at banquets in the capital on weekdays. Although the Feng family has an earldom, there is really no one in the capital...
At this moment, she actually had a few girls, chatting and laughing there.
Looking at Feng Jinling's shyness and good-tempered attitude, how could you have imagined that such a handwriting... Ha!
Fang Qunqun pulled Lin Zhixiu, "Let's go to the pavilion and throw pots!"
The group arrived at the pavilion, where they couldn't get any sun and it was still windy. There were herbal tea and fruits next to them, which was very comfortable.
Lin Zhixiu's accuracy was poor, and she was defeated by Fang Qunqun. After playing for a while, even Fang Xiaoxiao and Fang Yaoyao surpassed her. After one round of playing, she was almost at the bottom.
Zhang Pei saw that Lin Zhixiu also had a job without making money, and was very happy. He rushed to the front and wanted to be her master.
Li Cheng pretended to "encounter" them by chance. He stood there and watched for a while. When he saw that Lin Zhixiu really couldn't do it, he came over and taught her patiently.
Fang Qunqun had a bad smile on his face, and I said that these two people have a way with each other!
In the midst of the excitement, someone called Li Cheng, "My queen, please come over, the emperor is coming!"
Li Cheng was reluctant to leave, but he had to leave. After taking three steps, he turned back and found that Lin Zhixiu was not looking at him.
I had to leave sadly.
The emperor's carriage entered the summer palace. He got out of the carriage. The journey was rough and wet, and he was sweating all over.
Seeing Concubine Xian, who was dressed in cool colors and not sweating at all, she smiled and said, "My dear, I enjoy it so much here! It's so hot along the way."
Concubine Xian said, "Your Majesty, you've had a hard journey, why don't you go to Longquan Palace to have a rest first? Everything is ready!"
The emperor looked at the few courtiers following him, such as Lin Ji, who were also grinning in discomfort.
"Okay! Then bring some herbal tea and rest there for a while!"
The emperor blinked and felt that someone was missing from his side, so he asked, "Where is your Eleventh Master?"
Someone laughed and said, "Your Majesty, Prince An is a thousand years old. As soon as he entered the gate of the Summer Palace, he turned a corner, haha!"
The emperor understands, that woman is here! I am afraid that grass has grown in his heart a long time ago, hum! There is no future...
Lin Ji looked a little embarrassed, but he tried his best to hide it, "Long live, I really want to take a shower! It's too hot."
The emperor looked at him. Sure enough, his face was covered with sweat and his clothes were soaked. "Okay! Let's go and have a rest!"
King An, as the man said, he entered the Summer Palace and slipped away without saying a word. Someone had been waiting there to tell him the direction of Fang Qunqun.
He was feeling hot and anxious all the way, but before he reached the pavilion, he heard a woman laughing.
Stop and listen...well, it's her.
This time, I felt at ease, and walked slowly with my hands behind my back.
When she walked up to her, she saw Fang Qunqun throwing pots. Every time she threw a pot, she had to talk and laugh for a while. She was so happy.
Fang Xiaoxiao, a ghost spirit, saw the person coming and quickly called "Sister!" and pointed to the direction of King An.
Fang Qunqun turned around and saw her future husband. With a big smile on her face, she shouted sweetly, "Your Majesty! Guess how many I hit?"
Looking at this woman who was so beautiful because of him, Wang An grinned and smiled, feeling that his life at this moment was a very satisfying one.
Behind Longquan Palace is a glimpse of living water, flowing down from the mountain. A simple flush will dissipate the heat on your body.
Drink some warm tea and eat some fruits, it's really enjoyable.
In the evening, the dinner began and everyone gathered in the main hall.
The emperor and his concubines sat on a high platform, and the middle platform was where several princes, princesses and princes sat.
At the bottom, let out the middle aisle, men on the left and women on the right, sitting on the floor, with a long table in front of them, with wine and food already placed on it.
Except for the Emperor, everyone else had already arrived at their seats and stood there, waiting for the Emperor to arrive.
When everyone arrived, a eunuch shouted, "The emperor has arrived!"
Everyone knelt down and saluted.
The emperor wore a jade crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and a light gray silk and linen robe. He was noble and elegant. He smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, no courtesy at all. Sit down!"
Everyone thanked them and sat down.
Lin Zhixiu was sitting not far from the emperor, so she could clearly see Li Cheng. And he was turning his head and looking at her with a smile.
Lin Zhixiu ignored him and looked at the people on the stage one by one.
Next to Li Cheng was King Jing, smiling lightly as usual. But Lin Zhixiu guessed that he might not be very happy... Wu Jingxiang had an accident yesterday, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead... In his heart, he should
It’s not easy, right?
And Princess Xingrong, oh, she has gained weight again? This complexion, this expression... why is it so weird? She turned her head and looked at the man in red who was sitting in the front row of male guests opposite, with an upright figure and a restrained mood.
Like a knife in a gem sheath...it looks good and works.
There has been no contact recently. I wonder if he has made arrangements?
Lin Zhixiu suddenly felt a little nervous.
The emperor spoke a few words, but only those around him could hear it.
The people below can't hear it, but they still have to listen respectfully.
Concubine Xian smiled and said to the emperor, "Long live my lord, the number one scholar in this world is also here, and there are many young disciples. You are busy with your affairs, and you may not have seen some of them. I am happy today and let them come out and talk to you."
Do you want to meet me?"
Concubine Xian already had the list given by the emperor.
She is the engagement target of the sixth and seventh princes, the sixth princess, and several county princes.
She glanced at it and found that Lin Zhixiu's name was not in it...
The seventh prince Li Cheng, the main concubine is Princess Heqing, and the side concubines...one is the niece of Concubine Pang, and the other is the niece of Concubine Li.
On the list, there was Lin Zhirong, who was married to Wang Xiao, the eldest grandson of Uncle Huai En. She had met Wang Xiao, and he was an average talent. His family background was not bad. Considering Lin Hui's status, this was considered a high-profile marriage for Lin Zhirong.
The emperor took a sip of wine and seemed to be in a good mood, and said, "Then please trouble Concubine Xian to introduce her to me!"
Concubine Xian smiled, and according to the pre-arrangement, a group of ten people stood in front of the steps when their names were called.
There are special people who read the names one by one, and everyone salutes the emperor.
Princess Xingrong looked straight at Duke Zhuangyuan.
Ah, scholars have such character...
She took a sip of the wine and almost drooled as she drank it. The wine tasted really comfortable... As her eyes turned, she suddenly noticed a small figure beside the palace maids standing at the gate.
There was a buzz in her head, and she almost screamed. Several people who had bowed to the emperor were returning to their seats when their silhouettes flickered. When she looked again, the little figure was gone.
It’s really a hell today!
Her hands were trembling a little, so she picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
The maid next to her quickly fell down again.
After meeting three groups of young people, the emperor said a few words and everyone left.
Next, it was time for the girls to present themselves to the emperor.
Among the first batch, there were Princess Heqing and a few girls with higher backgrounds, about the same age...
Concubine Xian sat next to the emperor and whispered to him.
The emperor remained calm and looked at Princess Heqing...
Well, he's quite decent and well-mannered, not outstanding... but it's still okay.
I finally felt certain in my heart.
When Lin Zhixiu saw it, she finally realized in her heart, Your Majesty, you are choosing a concubine for your son.
The princes of the right age are Li Cheng and Li Qing. In the first batch of lists, they are probably their principal concubines.
I couldn't help but feel my heart beating wildly. I couldn't explain how I felt. I glanced at Li Cheng secretly. He was drinking. It looked like he didn't understand anything. Idiot! You're so stupid!
Among the second batch of lists was Lin Zhirong. She might have some understanding, her face turned pale, and she didn't know what the emperor meant.
Among the third batch of lists are Pang Huan and Feng Jinling.
When the emperor heard Concubine Xian mentioning Feng Jinling, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly... Is this Concubine Li's biological niece?!
There is nothing similar about her body!? She is so ordinary, worse than most of the palace maids around her!
He is from an average background, and with his looks... he is not as good-looking as Lao Qi!
Still want to be his concubine?
This Feng Baoer is really causing trouble for me!
Oh, come on, no matter what, I’ll give Lao Qi another two beauties later!
Further down, there is Lin Zhixiu's group.
When the emperor saw Lin Zhixiu, he was also a little dumbfounded...
Pointing at her, he asked Lin Ji, "Lin Ji, is this the daughter of your second brother Lin Xu?"
Of course the emperor knows Lin Xu! He even teased her!
Lin Ji was very proud and said with a smile, "Long live my lord, this is the daughter of my second brother, called Zhixiu. How about it? She looks similar to my second brother, right?"
The emperor said, "Well, this girl is... pretty, isn't she? Are you getting used to living in the capital when you come back?"
Lin Zhixiu had just presented herself to the emperor. At this time, she replied, "If you wish, I will be used to everything!"
The emperor has a long beard. This girl is good-looking and generous. She has also made a lot of money for herself. She is a blessed person.
"Yes. Come back and come to the palace often to accompany your cousin!"
When Concubine Yan Xian heard this, she quickly said, "Long live thanks! I also like this niece very much!"
The emperor nodded and waved for them to go down.
Li Cheng laughed happily when he saw that his father liked Lin Zhixiu very much.
King Jing suddenly leaned over and said to him, "Seventh brother, you know today... my father is going to grant you a marriage, right?!"
