The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

Shui Chi didn't need to turn his head to know that the owner of the voice was Sima Suxin, he turned around and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Sima Suxin didn't stop Daiyu, and after she lost her temper, she suddenly wanted to go to Zongzheng Temple to find the prince. None of the servants who followed her dared to stop her, so Sima Suxin had to drive the carriage to Zongzheng Temple according to Sima Suxin's temper.Because Sima Suxin's carriage came from another direction, she didn't meet Lin Fu's carriage face to face. Sima Suxin only saw Shuichi who turned around, so she hurriedly screamed.

Sima Suxin hurriedly got out of the car and ran towards Shui Chi, who took a step back and said indifferently: "Men and women are different, Princess Anning stay." Sima Suxin didn't care, she ran to Shui Chi and stopped, smiling coquettishly Said: "Brother Prince, are you happy to see Xin'er? Xin'er is so happy to see you!"

Shui Chi said directly with a straight face: "I'm very upset to see you!"

Sima Suxin's complexion changed suddenly, but Shui Chi ignored it, and continued to say in a cold voice: "Zongzheng Temple is an important place, idlers are not allowed to enter, Princess Anning, please come back."

Sima Suxin couldn't hold back anymore, she stepped on her feet and shouted: "Brother Prince, how can you talk to me like this." Shui Chi said with a cold face, "Princess Anning, it's up to you how the lonely king speaks Make irresponsible remarks. Remember your identity." Although the gate of Zongzheng Temple is not on the right road, there are still pedestrians passing by in twos and threes. Sima Suxin's face was flushed with embarrassment, but Shui Chi didn't care about it. He continued: " Princess Anning, the lonely king is the prince of the current dynasty. Although you have been named the princess, you are not the younger sister of the lonely king. Don’t call me that again in the future, otherwise the lonely king will punish you for disrespect. It is your father Even the Queen Mother can't keep you."

Sima Suxin couldn't bear it anymore, she burst into tears, Shui Chi remained unmoved, and said coldly, "Send Anning County Princess back to his residence." After speaking, he turned around and entered the gate of Zongzheng Temple , from the beginning to the end, Shui Chi never looked at Sima Suxin directly.Sima Suxin was so angry that she wanted to go crazy.

The servant girl who followed Sima Suxin rushed forward to support Sima Suxin, but was pushed away by Sima Suxin. She followed Shui Chi's footsteps and rushed towards the gate of Zongzheng Temple. The prince's personal guards on both sides blocked the way with waist knives , Sima Suxin yelled in tears: "Get out of the way!"

The faces of the two princes' personal guards were as heavy as iron, and they said loudly: "The Zongzheng Temple is an important place, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. His Royal Highness has an order. Princess Anning, please come back."

Sima Suxin was used to being arrogant and pampered, she didn't know how powerful it was, she just shouted angrily: "I just want to go in, who dares to stop me?"

An impatient and cold voice came out: "Whoever dares to trespass into Zongzheng Temple will be killed without mercy."

The two prince's personal guards immediately shouted: "Yes, I obey." After the two shouted, they drew their swords out of their sheaths and crossed them in front of Sima Suxin, saying in unison: "Princess, please go back."

Sima Suxin was terrified by the gleaming steel knife in front of her. She had never seen such a battle since she was born, her face turned pale and her legs trembled, and she burst into tears.The maids of Dongping Prince's Mansion rushed to the front, half helped and half pulled, coaxed and persuaded, finally got Sima Suxin into the car, and hurriedly left the gate of Zongzheng Temple in desperation.

Sima Suxin went home, plunged into Princess Dongping's arms and burst into tears, Princess Dongping hurried to coax her daughter, coaxing Sima Suxin to stop crying, she asked what happened and listened to Sima Suxin explain it in detail , Princess Dongping said angrily: "Even if he is His Royal Highness, he can't treat you like this, Xin'er, mother must find a way to save face for you."

Sima Suxin sobbed and cried: "Mother, I don't want to lose face, I just want to be the princess."

Seeing that the prince has no affection for Sima Suxin, Princess Dongping can't help but feel worried. The emperor and queen have nothing to do with her. If the prince doesn't like her daughter, then Sima Suxin's wish can't be fulfilled no matter what.

Seeing that Princess Dongping didn't speak, Sima Suxin burst into tears again: "Mother, you don't care about Xin'er!"

Princess Dongping couldn't see her daughter crying the most, so she hurriedly said: "Xin'er, how can mother ignore you, but His Royal Highness is not an ordinary person, we begged him, so we have to be soft. Just like you are today, just It will make His Royal Highness the Prince farther away from you."

Sima Suxin cried: "Mother, Xin'er doesn't want to do that either, but seeing that he treats his daughter indifferently, my daughter is anxious and angry."

Princess Dongping sighed and said, "Mother knows, but Xin'er, he is the prince. There are tens of thousands of people under one person, and all the girls in the world want to marry him to be the princess, but he doesn't need to care about any of them." Girl, if you want to be a princess, you must make the prince like you and be obsessed with you. When you see the prince in the future, you can't lose your temper. No matter what he says or does, you have to greet him with a smile."

Sima Suxin said in a low voice: "Mother, I did this, but the elder brother of the prince ignored me at all, so I couldn't help losing my temper. He even said today that I am not allowed to call him elder brother of the prince. Mother, what should I do?" ?”

Princess Dongping had no choice but to say: "Xin'er, since the Crown Prince has said this, you should stop calling it that way in the future. There is always no harm in following him."

Sima Suxin looked up at her mother in surprise, her eyes were full of doubts, Princess Dongping sighed and said: "Xin'er, he is the crown prince, the heir, and the future emperor, and his words are golden words. If you want to be a princess, you have to Listen to him, until one day you can completely control him, then you can let your own temper go."

Sima Suxin choked and nodded, "Mother, Xiner understands."

Princess Dongping stroked her daughter's head and said, "Xin'er, you haven't told Mother why you went out suddenly today?"

Only then did Sima Suxin remember that she was looking for trouble with Lin Daiyu, and she hurriedly said: "Mother, I was going to find that Hu Meizi named Lin today, who knew I didn't stop her, mother, I saw the prince of Beijing Accompany her by the car. She is indeed a vixen, and she even wants to seduce Sister Shen's sweetheart."

Princess Dongping was a little confused. At first, looking at the queen's attitude, it was clear that Lin Daiyu had been appointed as the crown princess by default, but why did Lin Daiyu get so close to the prince of Beijing?First, she was taken to the Beijing Palace as a guest, and now the prince of Beijing accompanied her to go out in person. Could it be that she didn't even avoid suspicion?Seeing that Princess Dongping was silent, Sima Suxin quickly shook her arm and said, "Mother, I hate that Lin Daiyu so much, she is just a little county magistrate, what is she, you must find a way to get rid of her Just do it."

Princess Dongping nodded slowly and said: "Xin'er, you don't need to worry about this matter, you just think about how to please His Highness the Crown Prince."

Sima Suxin muttered angrily, "Mother..."

Princess Dongping patted her daughter's shoulder and said: "Xin'er, let's not talk about it, you don't have to worry about it since you have a mother. As for your sister Shen's matter, it depends on her own ability! We can't control her now. "

Sima Suxin said in a muffled voice: "Then I can always tell Elder Sister Shen about that fox charmer seducing Prince Jing's son."

Princess Dongping nodded and said: "Okay, you can go to your cousin's house to relax tomorrow, and just tell Jingru by the way."

Sima Suxin nodded, and Princess Dongping said again: "Except for your cousin's house, don't go out these days. It's important to prepare well for the palace banquet on the first day of the first lunar month. When the time comes, Xin'er, you must beat the crowd and let everyone see clearly." , you are the most outstanding lady, especially if you want to suppress that girl named Lin. That girl surnamed Lin has excellent embroidery skills, which you cannot compare with. Don't miss her, so you have to practice hard at home these days." Sima Suxin is determined to beat others with skills, so she doesn't even go to Shen's house, and only practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in Dongping Palace, which makes the water boil too much A few days of peace.

Daiyu returned to Lin's house with her grandmother's bones, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xuechun galloping forward to meet her. Xueyan shouted happily, "Miss, who do you think is back?"

Daiyu thought for a while and then said with certainty: "My brother is back."

Xueyan pouted and said, "Girl, you have to be smart for a while. Every time you are asked to guess something, you never miss it. It's really boring."

Daiyu shook her head and laughed, Lan Xin stepped in and said: "There are only a few people in our family, only the young master is away, and you ran over so happily, not to mention the girl, even we can guess that the young master came back gone."

Daiyu ordered Qingmei Songyun to set up an incense table and set up tributes, and set up a three-legged incense burner with bean green glaze and Ruyi cloud pattern in the middle.As soon as Daiyu entered the living room, she saw Wang Momo holding a dark and thin man, crying and laughing at the same time.Daiyu's eyes widened, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and exclaimed, "Brother?" Lin Cheng turned his head and saw Daiyu, walked over quickly, and said with a smile, "Sister Yu'er, are you okay?"

Daiyu covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Brother? You are really a brother. God, why did you become like this after you left? I don't even dare to recognize you."

Lin Cheng was a handsome and handsome man when he left Beijing, but now he has become dark and thin after only three months, and the robe on his body was shaken by the wind, making him look thinner and thinner.Although he was skinny, Lin Cheng's spirit was very good, his eyes were piercing, revealing a sharp edge.

"Sister Yu'er, am I dark and ugly now?" Lin Cheng asked with a smile.

Daiyu hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, although my brother is dark and thin, but his spirit is better than before. Brother, you must have worked very hard to go to Beijing to relieve the disaster."

Lin Cheng smiled and said: "It's worth the hard work to relieve the people's misery. I've gained a lot from going out of Beijing this time. I'll tell Sister Yu'er in detail when I have time in the future."

Daiyu walked up to Wang Momo's side, leaned her head on Wang Momo's shoulder and smiled lightly, "Mom, it's great that brother is back!" Wang Momo wiped her eyes and smiled, "Yes, yes. , finally made it back years ago."

Lin Cheng smiled and said: "I couldn't make it back, but I received the imperial edict from the emperor, so I rushed back day and night."

Daiyu thought for a while, then nodded lightly, and said to Lin Cheng: "Brother, if I guessed correctly, the emperor transferred you back this time because he intends to make you an official in the household registration department."

There was a slight look of surprise in Lin Cheng's eyes, and he asked with a smile: "Sister Yu'er, why do you say that?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "Brother, go and wash up quickly, and go to see the emperor after dinner, the emperor's uncle must be waiting for you." Lin Cheng felt that Daiyu was a little different from when he left, so he left by himself. At that time, Daiyu was still a little quiet and almost autistic, but now Daiyu is like a new flower that has just bloomed, exuding a confident and charming brilliance.Lin Cheng didn't know what happened to Daiyu after he left, which would make her change so much.

Seeing Lin Cheng staring at her in a daze, Daiyu smiled and said, "Brother, what are you thinking? Are you not tired after driving for so long? Hurry up and wash the dust along the way. When brother is free, Yu'er I also want to hear from you how to solve the problems of the people." Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, listen to my sister Yu'er." He bowed to Mother Wang and strode out of the hall.

Daiyu snuggled up to Wang Momo and smiled, "My brother is really different." Wang Momo caressed Daiyu's hand lovingly and said, "Miss, it's better if you talk, just now Cheng'er said that he would go to the palace immediately. Holy."

"That's natural. Ah Cheng has been obedient to Yu'er since he was a child, but he never refuses to say anything to Yu'er." Hui Yun walked in from behind and said with a smile.

Daiyu stepped forward and shook Huiyun's arm and said coquettishly, "Auntie, you are making fun of Yu'er."

Huiyun held Daiyu's hand and said: "What's the matter, you are the treasure in our Lin family's hearts, pampering you is what we are most happy to do. As long as we can see your smile every day, we will be happy in everything of."

Daiyu said softly: "Auntie, this will spoil Yu'er."

Huiyun laughed and said, "How could it be? Our Yu'er is the most considerate, kind, and intelligent girl in the world."

Wang Momo also smiled and said, "Second Madam is absolutely right, my young lady is the best girl in the world."

Daiyu's face was flushed, and she covered her face with her hand holding the handkerchief and said, "Auntie, mother, if you go on talking, Yu'er will feel ashamed."

Huiyun put her arms around Daiyu and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Yu'er, I was just about to ask you, what is the result of bloody confession?"

Daiyu said softly, "It's my grandmother."

Huiyun took a long breath and said: "Yu'er, don't be sad, we will definitely avenge the old lady."

Daiyu nodded and said: "I heard Brother Chi said that the Emperor's Uncle wanted him to settle the Jia family's case a few years ago. I think that he will have to confront the old lady in court."

Huiyun hurriedly said: "Yu'er, you don't have to go, we can go, anyway, as long as someone from the Lin family comes forward." Daiyu slightly shook her head and said: "No, I'd better go by myself, I have to do a thorough job. It's over."

Huiyun wanted to say something more, but Daiyu shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, Daiyu will not be manipulated by others."

Huiyun shook her head and said softly: "Yu'er, I'm not afraid that people will take advantage of you, but I'm afraid that you will feel sad when the time comes."

Daiyu was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Maybe Yu'er will be sad, but that is what Yu'er has to go through and bear. I am the daughter of the Lin family, so I have to be the daughter of the Lin family."

"Well said! Yu'er, you are very good." There was a cheer, and everyone turned their heads to see that the speaker was Lin Cheng who had finished washing up. Lin Cheng strode in, and he replaced the She was so dirty that she couldn't see the original color of the robe, and replaced it with a silver-white jacquard hang satin leather robe newly made by Wang Momo. However, Wang Momo made it according to the previous size, so it looked a little loose. With his slightly wet black hair tied back loosely, coupled with the warm smile on his face, Lin Cheng looked a little fairy-like at the moment.

"Brother, did you wash up so soon? Let's eat something first. Later, Yu'er will accompany you into the palace." Daiyu walked over with a smile, and thoughtfully arranged, Lin Cheng couldn't help but lose his mind. The beautiful Daiyu seems to have grown up suddenly, like a piece of raw jade that has been polished, exuding a warm brilliance.

Lin Cheng ate something hastily, and then entered the palace with Daiyu. Daiyu showed her pass token, and the guards let them go without even checking. , Yu'er, you must have become a celebrity in the palace by now, right?"

Daiyu said with a slight smile: "Since my elder brother left, Yu'er has indeed been walking around the palace frequently, and I have become familiar with him once and twice. I never regard myself as the emperor, but just regard myself as Yu'er's uncle. The queen's aunt loves Yu'er even more. From the queen's aunt, Yu'er can feel the mother's love that is so strong that it cannot be melted away. Brother Chi is also very good to Yu'er Yes, he even gave me an ugly sugar doll..."

Listening to Daiyu happily talking about how the royal family treated her well, Lin Cheng suddenly felt a little bored in his heart. He shook his head and said to himself secretly: "Lin Cheng, Yu'er is your sister, and your duty is to protect her. Her, don't let her suffer any harm. Her happiness is your happiness."

Seeing that Lin Cheng hadn't spoken for a while, Daiyu couldn't help laughing softly: "But I'm talking about it, brother, tell me about your experiences these days, Yu'er really wants to know."

Lin Cheng said with a smile: "Actually, I have nothing to say. It's nothing more than rushing, unannounced visits, food distribution, and writing notes to participate in corrupt officials. It's really meaningless."

Daiyu shook her head and said, "That's not true, I heard that brother Chi and the emperor's uncle praised you a lot."

The two brothers and sisters went to the imperial study room without realizing it.At this time Shui Chi also returned to the palace. When he heard Daiyu Lin Cheng begging for an audience, he hurriedly greeted him. When he saw Lin Cheng Shui Chi was also startled. He grabbed Lin Cheng's arm and exclaimed: "Brother Lin, you Why... just thank you for your hard work!"

Lin Cheng lifted his robe and knelt down with a smile, Shui Chi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Lin, you and I treat each other as brothers, you don't need to kneel to me, come in quickly, Father is waiting for you." Shui Chi said sincerely, but Lin Cheng couldn't break the rules, he used a heavy weight pendant, knelt down and kowtowed before standing up.Shui Chi shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, why is this so?"

"Yu'er and Lin Cheng are here, why don't you come in?" The emperor's voice came out, and Daiyu hurriedly replied: "They are here." Shui Qi Daiyu Lincheng entered the imperial study room, where the emperor was originally sitting at the imperial book table Later, he looked up at Lin Cheng, stood up and left his seat and walked in front of Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng quickly knelt down, but the emperor held Lin Cheng's arms and said with emotion: "Lin Cheng, you have suffered."

Lin Cheng hurriedly bowed and replied: "It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of the emperor. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life when I went to Beijing to release relief. All the people affected by the disaster have been properly resettled. Now they can save themselves, and the court does not need to spend any more money." Silver rice."

The emperor patted Lin Cheng on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Okay, Lin Cheng, you are a good person. When Ru Hai passed away, I lost my best friend and capable minister. Every time I think of Ru Hai, my heart hurts. Now Ru Hai has a better life." Son and daughter, I am very relieved."

Lin Cheng bowed and said, "I'm ashamed that I can't learn as much as my adoptive father."

The emperor smiled and said: "It's just a matter of practicing slowly. No one is born with everything. Lin Cheng, you are already very good." Shui Chi nodded and said: "What the father said is very true. Brother Lin is going to the southwest. Putting down internal troubles for the court is really a great achievement, and the emperor must reward Brother Lin heavily."

The emperor smiled and said: "It's natural, Lin Cheng, you have made great contributions to disaster relief, so I will appoint you as the servant of the household department, and let you take three days off to rest and recuperate. After three days, you will take up the post in the household department."

Lin Cheng hastily knelt down and declined, saying: "I'm not talented enough to learn, I'm afraid I won't be able to do the job, I implore the emperor to take it back."

The emperor smiled, looked at Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, what do you think?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Brother, please take the decree and thank you."

Lin Cheng looked up at Daiyu, with puzzlement in his eyes, Daiyu just smiled and said: "Brother, thank En Yuer and I will tell you in detail."

Lin Cheng kowtowed to thank Daiyu, and the emperor smiled and said, "Lin Cheng, there will be wars in northern Xinjiang next spring. Now that the treasury is empty, it will not be easy to win this battle. The corpse of the Minister of the Ministry of Households is a vegetarian meal, which is unbearable. , I want you to take over the household department, so I want you to first go to the household department to familiarize yourself with the situation, in case I ask for advice."

Lin Cheng's heart tightened, he raised his head and asked in surprise: "There will be war in the weak border?"

Shui Chi nodded and said: "Yes, the six tribes in the north are in the coalition, and once they form an army, they will invade on a large scale. Although Yu'er proposed to send secret envoys to the north to divide and disintegrate the coalition of six tribes, but there is no certainty of victory, so we must Get ready for battle."

Lin Cheng nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. The emperor can rest assured that I will prepare enough food and pay for the army."

After hearing this, the emperor laughed and said, "Lin Cheng, you dare to boast so much before entering the household department?"

Lin Cheng smiled confidently, "Your Majesty, although I haven't entered the household department, the account books of the household department are all in my mind."

As soon as Lin Cheng said this, everyone was shocked, and the emperor Shui Chi Daiyu looked at Lin Cheng with wide eyes. Lin Cheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I was ordered to provide disaster relief that day. Before leaving Beijing, I went to the Ministry of Households to collect silver rice." At that time, the head of the household department cried poorly to the minister, and took out the account book for the minister to look through. The minister then looked through the general account of the household department and recorded all the important figures in his mind. Therefore, the minister dared to say that the treasury has the ability to support 20 people will fight for two months. If we start to raise preparations from now on, I can find a way to raise the expenses for two months. In this way, it is possible to support four months. I believe that with the power of our generals Be brave, and you will definitely win within four months."

The emperor nodded and said: "I'm relieved if you can say that. However, we still have to try our best to avoid war. Lin Cheng, you are Yu'er's elder brother. If I want to send Yu'er as a secret envoy to the north, I must to discuss with you."

Lin Cheng's heart tightened, and he replied instinctively without even thinking about it: "No, it's too dangerous. Yu'er is just a girl, and she must not be allowed to risk herself." Daiyu hurriedly shouted: " Brother, what nonsense are you talking about in front of the emperor?" Lin Cheng finally came to his senses, he knelt down on both knees and straightened his back and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I will be punished by the Emperor for my dishonesty, but my younger sister is the only one of my adoptive father and mother. Flesh and blood, the folk customs in the northern border are fierce, I can't let my sister be in danger, I ask my sister to be an envoy on behalf of the emperor, and ask the emperor to help." The emperor laughed and said: "Lin Cheng, get up, I am talking about discussing with you, not my subordinates. Will, you can say whatever you have, and I won't blame you."

Shui Chi helped Lin Cheng up, and Daiyu turned her back to Lin Cheng unhappily. If it was in the past, Lin Cheng would have accompanied Daiyu carefully, but this time Lin Cheng was determined. No matter what he said, he couldn't let Daiyu go to that bitter cold and dangerous place, even if it made Daiyu annoy him, he couldn't agree.

The emperor smiled and said: "Lin Cheng, if you are on a mission, who will prepare the food and salary? Besides, are you proficient in the language of the northern border people?" Lin Cheng lowered his head and was speechless, Daiyu turned around and said, "Brother, His Royal Highness is more honorable than Yu'er, but he can go to the northern border in person, so there is nothing Daiyu can't do."

Lin Cheng said anxiously: "Sister, you are a girl's family. How can you bear to eat and sleep on the road, don't forget that there are still poisons in your body that have not been resolved.

After hearing this, Daiyu stretched out her hand and said, "Brother, Yu'er's poison has been cured, if you don't believe me, take a pulse."

Lin Cheng exclaimed in surprise: "Is this true? Could it be that Daoist Sanqing found the antidote?"

Daiyu said softly: "It was Master Hongguang who poisoned Yu'er to himself and saved Yu'er's life."

Lin Cheng suddenly realized: "Why didn't I think of this method, but it made you suffer so much. How is Master Hongguang now? Can his poison be cured?"

Daiyu nodded with a smile, "Master Uncle's poison has also been cured, and he sent someone to deliver a letter a few days ago."

Seeing that Lin Cheng and Daiyu started chatting, the emperor didn't speak, but just sat aside and laughed. Lin Chen realized that he was a little carried away, so he quickly suppressed his smile and said to the emperor: "Your majesty, I haven't returned for a long time, and I don't know anything about the family. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor just smiled and said: "Lin Cheng, you don't have to be so restrained, you are Yu'er's elder brother, that is, my nephew, you should be more casual."

Daiyu took Lin Cheng's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Brother, let Yu'er go. Yu'er can disguise herself as a man, at most she can make herself ugly. No one would think that an ugly servant is actually a celestial servant." Secret envoy. What's more, brother Chi and senior brother Rong are going with them, the two of them are very skilled, brother don't have to worry about Yu'er!"

Daiyu's coquetry was so lethal that Lin Cheng nodded unconsciously.Daiyu looked at it and said happily: "Uncle Emperor, you have seen it, brother agrees, now you have to let Yu'er go."

The emperor said with a three-point helplessness, three-point love and three-point pride smile: "You, what a ghost girl!"

Shui Chi grabbed Lin Cheng's hand and said in a loud voice: "Brother Lin, don't worry, I will take good care of Yu'er, and keep her from losing even a hair."

Lin Cheng couldn't go back on what he had said, so he could only nod helplessly and said: "Okay, Yu'er, if you want to go to your brother, you won't be stopped, but how you go, who you take, and which way you take are all up to you." You arrange where to eat and stay on the road, and my brother will also arrange it for you."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing and said: "After all, you are the elder brother, what you want is to be thoughtful. Chi'er, this time you and Rong'er have gained Yu'er's favor."

Thinking of Daiyu's long journey, Lin Cheng couldn't sit still. He took out a thick memorial and said, "Your Majesty, all the details about the disaster relief have been written on it. Please check it. I have to go back Prepare the luggage and arrange the itinerary for my sister, and I will leave." Lin Cheng said and knelt down.The emperor shook his head and smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be impatient. Anyway, your booklet is so thick. It will take me some time to read it. You should go back first. It will take time to arrange those things. You can spend more time at home." Let’s rest for a few days. After the new year, there is still time for the household registration department.”

Lin Cheng hurriedly thanked him for leaving the palace, the emperor thought that Lin Cheng had just returned, and the Lin family would have a reunion dinner, so he ignored Shui Chi's winks and let Daiyu go back with Lin Cheng.

Seeing Shui Chi's unhappy look, the emperor smiled and said, "Chi'er, what are you in a hurry for? Lin Cheng just came back, shouldn't the family be reunited?"

Shui Chi said in a muffled voice: "Father, even if you don't want to keep Yu'er, you can still ask your ministers to send them back."

The emperor scolded with a smile: "Why are you acting like Rong'er, is this not good?"

Shui Chi lowered his head and said nothing, the emperor then asked again: "Chi'er, my father wants to talk to you about something serious, how do you want to judge the Jia family's case?"

After hearing this, Shui Chi raised his head and said to his father, the things confiscated from the Jia family's secret room were enough to prove that the Jia family had a heart of disobedience and committed the crime of treason.But from Jia Shi's family down, except for Li Wan's mother and son, no one in the Rongguo Mansion is of the blood of the old Duke Rong. If it is from the nine clans, the nine clans have not yet made up their minds about how to define the sons and ministers, and they are about to ask the emperor for instructions. The emperor thought for a while with his beard, and said in a deep voice: "Qi'er, the key point of the Jia family's case is the order. "

Shui Chi is also a smart person, the emperor understood at once, and immediately smiled happily: "I understand, father, my minister will start the trial of Jia Shishi's murder of the old Rong Guogong and Rong Guogong's wife tomorrow. After the trial of this case, the case of Jia Shishi and Jia Wangshi's embezzlement of the Lin family's property and privately hidden items will be tried again, and finally the case of treason will be tried again, so that Yu'er and Li Wan's mother and son have nothing to do with the fake Jia family, even the Zhujiu clan has nothing to do with them Irrelevant."

The emperor nodded and said: "That's right, Chi'er, you should act like this. It's best to close the case before the year. After fifteen years, you and Rong'er should accompany Yu'er to go north."

Shui Chi replied happily: "Yes, my son obeys the order."

The emperor smiled and said: "Chi'er, you have been busy these days and haven't had a good rest. Go back to the palace to rest earlier."

Shui Chi also smiled and said: "Father, you are the hardest person, and I will send you back to the palace."

The emperor smiled and said: "Okay, let's go to your mother's harem together. It's the same when you go back to rest after seeing your mother." The crown prince didn't even notice when he came in.The emperor asked with a smile: "What is the queen thinking about, she is so preoccupied."

The queen let out an "ah" and hurriedly got up to face the emperor. When she saw the water brew, she even sighed. The sigh surprised the emperor and the prince. Both father and son frowned and looked at the queen.The queen said sullenly: "Chi'er, go back to the palace to rest." Just a short sentence sent the bewildered Shui Chi back to the palace.

The emperor sat down with his arms around the queen, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Xin'er, is there anything you are unhappy about?"

The queen sighed lightly and said: "Concubine Shen came back to report today, saying that she is asking me to agree to let her give her personal lady, Xiuyi, to Shui Ling as a side concubine."

The emperor nodded and said: "She is in a hurry, Qi'er only has feelings for Yu'er, but Yu'er is still young, and she won't be able to get married for a year or so. She wants to occupy the seat of the eldest grandson, and also wants to rush It seems that we have a lot of heart in making Ling'er the concubine."

The queen nodded and said: "Yes, but Shui Ling has also reached the age of marriage, so I can't delay it. I've been thinking, just give Shui Ling the right concubine, and save Concubine Shen from always coming to try."

The emperor thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "There is a candidate that Concubine Shen likes."

The queen glanced at the emperor, and said softly: "Brother Tian, ​​you are not talking about Princess An Ning, are you?"

The emperor smiled and said: "After all, Xin'er knows my heart best. That day Concubine Shen Shu came to praise Princess Anning like a flower. Why didn't I fulfill her wish and let her praise Princess Anning so much?" Be her daughter-in-law."

The queen shook her head and said: "No, Princess Anning is extremely arrogant, she is not worthy of Shui Ling."

The emperor didn't think so, he said in a deep voice: "Shui Ling is too deep-minded, but An Ning is bluffing. Marrying An Ning to Shui Ling can neutralize Shui Ling's gloomy temperament on the one hand, and can also make her angry. The situation on Concubine Shen's side has turned from darkness to light."

The queen sighed softly and said: "Although that is the case, I always feel wronged by Shui Ling. Shui Ling has never been talkative since she was a child, and she is even more withdrawn when she gets older. She is the son of Concubine Shen, so I can't say anything. , but he is also your son."

The emperor shook his head and said: "Xin'er, it is because Ling'er's temperament is too gloomy that I want to marry An Ning to him. The old Dongping King has made great achievements in the country, and An Ning is his only blood. Let An Ning be the princess, it is also a kindness to the old man." King Dongping has something to say. Besides, if An Ning is always pestering Chi'er, wouldn't it be more troublesome?"

After hearing this, the Queen nodded and said: "You are the Emperor and Shui Ling's father, you can decide this matter, I'm afraid Concubine Shen Shu will not agree."

The emperor's face darkened and he said: "It's not her turn to decide this matter, if she is safe, that's all. If she is not, I just demoted her."

After hearing this, the queen said nothing more.I just teased the little prince with the emperor for a while, and then went to bed.

After the morning court the next day, the emperor drove to Yanqing Palace. Concubine Shen Shu was so happy that she dressed up carefully and knelt at the gate of the palace to welcome him.The emperor strode over and said in a deep voice, "Get up and talk to me inside."

Concubine Shen Shu walked quickly to follow. After entering the main hall, the emperor took the main seat. Concubine Shen Shu stood at the head and did not dare to sit down. The emperor said flatly: "Sit down."

Concubine Shen Shu sat down with her sign tilted. She secretly observed the emperor's face, but she didn't notice anything.After drinking the tea, the emperor said calmly, "Shui Ling will be sixteen this year, right?"

Concubine Shen Shu hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, Ling'er is already sixteen."

The emperor nodded and said: "A few days ago when you proposed marriage to the crown prince, you reminded me that Shui Ling should get married too."

Concubine Shen Shu couldn't figure out what the emperor's intention was, so she could only laugh and said, "His Royal Highness is not yet married, and Ling'er is a younger brother, so how can we get married first? Your Majesty, the concubine just wants to put someone in Ling'er's room first. In the future, I will marry the concubine to His Highness the Crown Prince after he gets married, and there is no intention of presumptuousness, so please be aware of it."

The emperor just said in a deep voice: "It doesn't have to be like this, Chi'er has a left-hearted heart, and you can't delay your younger brother because of him. I heard you praise Princess Anning very much that day, so it can be seen that you like Princess Anning very much." I thought about it later, since the empress doesn't like Princess Anning, and you like Concubine Shu, why don't I marry An Ning to Shuiling, so it's not a good thing to have both." Concubine Shen Shu was shocked when she heard this. Surprised: "No!"

The emperor lowered his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows, his faint voice was full of majesty, "Why, don't you like Princess Anning again today? Or..."

Concubine Shen Shu hurriedly knelt down on the ground, touched her head to the ground and said: "This concubine has always liked Princess Anning very much, it is because of liking that this concubine proposes marriage for her, please the emperor to see clearly."

The emperor still said calmly: "Since you like it, why don't you want her to marry Shui Ling?"

Concubine Shen Shu felt so bitter in her heart that she knelt on the ground and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, my concubine... I am willing to marry Princess An Ning and make Ling'er a concubine."

The emperor nodded and said: "That's good. I will issue an edict immediately, and you can start preparing for Shui Ling's marriage. I will ask Qin Tianjian to choose a few good days later. You can choose one."

Concubine Shen Shu had no choice but to hide her unhappiness and kowtow to the emperor to thank the emperor. After the emperor called out, she strode away without even saying a word to Concubine Shen Shu.Concubine Shen Shu sat slumped on the ground, not knowing what to do for a while.It took a while for Concubine Shen Shu to come back to her senses, and she immediately got up to send a secret letter to Princess Dongping, but her secret letter hadn't been sent yet, and Xiao Luzi had already arrived at Dongping Palace with the edict of marriage.

King Dongping hurriedly ordered someone to set up the incense table, and
