It's really exciting to run after grabbing the male supporting role [Quick wear]
Chapter 179 The Prince is a Twin
The matter of Duke Protector's entry to Beijing has been decided, Father Lin will take his two children with him, but Mother Lin will stay at home.
A group of people traveled lightly, and brought dozens of elite soldiers, all on horseback. When it was time to say goodbye, Lin's mother stood in front of the door and said to Lin Su: "This time, you must be careful in everything when you go to the capital. If your father doesn't notice something, you Be careful, and show Tinger a look at others along the way."
"Ma'am, as my husband is old, I don't need my son to give me advice." Father Lin coughed.
"You only know how to play tricks on the battlefield. How can you tell if those people in the officialdom try to trick you? If you really have some brains, you don't have to hide your strength and bide your time for so many years." Mother Lin gave him a white look.
Lin's father was blocked speechless: "Are you planning to marry Ting'er in the capital? Isn't it good in the southwest?"
"What do you know?" Lin's mother looked at Lin Su and said, "My son knows about this matter. Although you have to be more careful in your actions, you don't have to be afraid of others everywhere. With your mother around, if something really happened in Beijing I'm not afraid either."
Mother Lin is a heroic figure. Although she lives in the back house, her martial arts skills have never fallen. In a real fight, Lin Ting'er may not be an opponent, and the trainer sometimes does more than just say a few words.
As for Lin Ting'er's marriage... The power in Beijing and China is entangled. Although it is not possible to show it to the public, privately, the courtiers have stood in line, the Duke of the Protectorate is in control of the army, and the southwest land is his fief. There are successors, and now they are If the battle is victorious and the limelight is unmatched, there are not a few people in Beijing who want to win over.
The southwestern land has very little to do with the central capital. The most direct way to win over is to plan on Lin Su and Lin Tinger's marriage. Lin Su's marriage is no better than marrying Lin Tinger into the capital. It is good to be able to win over and to be of high quality.
Lin Su naturally understood what Mother Lin meant: "Mother, don't worry, the child knows."
Southwest didn't intend to rebel, but because of such a strong backing, Lin Tinger would not be bullied no matter where she married. The most important thing is that no one in Southwest City dared to marry her, so she could only find one or two in Beijing.
"I heard that there are many beautiful men in Beijing and China. I will choose one carefully this time." Lin Ting'er smacked her lips and said.
"Naturally, my sister wants to marry the best man." Lin Su laughed.
"Madam, take care." Father Lin and his party bid farewell, and they all left the southwest city on horseback.
It was only half a month before the New Year's Eve, and the group only took a short rest at the post station at night, and the rest of the time they went all the way fast, but the capital was already in sight on the tenth day.
Different from the cities in the southwestern border, this place looks extraordinarily dense and prosperous from a distance. They did not hide their whereabouts along the way, so someone reported the itinerary, and when the group arrived ten miles away, the guard of honor in the city was already waiting.
The crown prince Xiao Tang was the chief envoy, and the fifth prince Xiao Jin was the deputy envoy. The ice and snow in the capital had not yet melted, and the cold wind was quite bitter. Known as a beauty, the appearance of the son she gave birth to is naturally handsome.
The crown prince is dressed in formal clothes, with a jade crown and a streamer. Although he is also jade-like, his appearance is not inferior to the clothes, but it is different from Xiao Jin who can talk and laugh in the cold wind. After coughing for a few times, the already pale lip color became even more pale.
"His Royal Highness's hand stove should be changed." The attendant stepped forward to change the warm hand stove in his hand, "If you feel cold..."
"It's okay, the state's affairs are the most important, and I'm fine with it." Xiao Tang took the hand stove, and finally felt a little warmth spread in his body that was so cold.
"Brother Huang will have a relapse of his old illness when winter comes. Duke Huguo is just a feudal lord, so how can he be more important than Brother Huang's body? Why don't we rest in the room first, and come out after they really enter the city." Xiao Jin said.
"Father, please don't be negligent at this time... Cough cough..." Xiao Tang couldn't hold back and coughed twice, "Thank you, brother, for your concern."
He is obviously in poor health, and all the accompanying officials can see it. In the eyes of the courtiers, Xiao Tang is actually not suitable to be a prince. Not to mention his love of poetry and painting. , such a poor physical condition is not suitable for the crown prince.
But he happened to be His Majesty's only son and the eldest son. The eldest son was the orthodox position. If he avoided the eldest son and changed to a bastard, it would be unreasonable no matter which ancestral etiquette.
"Your brother just sees Brother Huang suffering, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart." Xiao Jin looked at his pale face and felt a little satisfied.
So what about the eldest son, although he will be reincarnated, he looks like a short-lived ghost, and he will not enjoy long-term blessings.
The fifth prince is strong, but the crown prince can only evade as heir. Some people feel emotional, and some people already understand the interests of the court.
The sound of horseshoes sounded as if it could shake the earth. A group of people appeared at the end of the snow. The leader was Duke Hu Guo, and his arrogance could not even cover half of the snow.
A group of people came on the snow, completely unaffected by the cold wind. Xiao Tang looked there, but his eyes were attracted by the young man on the horse beside Duke Hu.
Riding a horse is the most wanton and joyful thing for a man, and it is also the most impossible thing for Xiao Tang in his life.
The group of people got closer and closer, and everyone was heroic, but the young man was tall and straight, and his riding skills were superb. When he saw it clearly, his handsome edge seemed to be more eye-catching than the white snow all over the place. a bit.
The reins were tightened, and the tall horse raised its head and neighed. Lin Su patted the horse's neck to comfort him twice, and looked up at the white and thin figure on the city wall.
His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, at that moment Xiao Tang actually had the feeling of looking at him, his eyes met, but he subconsciously avoided it, feeling a little shocked in his heart.
This man is by no means easy to mess with.
"Good riding!" The general stationed in the capital couldn't help but praised a few times.
"That's the son of the protector?" Xiao Jin looked at Lin Su and asked, "He has a good appearance, which one is his younger sister?"
Why didn't he see the woman in the crowd?
"Open the city gate." Xiao Tang was annoyed at his avoidance just now, but the group of people had already reached the bottom of the city, and there was no reason to refuse to let them in. He handed the hand stove to the person next to him, and tidied up the hem of his clothes that had been blown by the wind , walked down the wall.
The city gate was wide open, and a group of people rode in, dismounting one after another when they reached the guard of honor.
The snow scene is magnificent, the outside of the city is covered with snow, but the streets inside the city have been swept away, leaving only roads of remnant snow, but the houses in the distance are all white, the man in white walked down the tower step by step, It feels a bit ethereal.
Others are all colorful, embellishing the bustling capital city, only his clothes are white, his complexion is white and flawless, and his eyes are darker than the night, but he is sick and weak, and he still has no trace of the prince's demeanor.
[06 The system announced tasks, task [-], survive as the original owner, task [-], change the original fate of the supporting actor Xiao Tang. 】
The crown prince Xiao Tang was born after the Yuan Dynasty. The current emperor was born as a concubine. He married the only daughter of the Duke of Zhen to become the emperor. kill.
It is common for the emperor to be ruthless.
Empress Yuan gave birth to Xiao Tang, who died after struggling for seven years, leaving Xiao Tang, who was just seven years old, struggling to survive in the face of the huge court.
If you want to survive in that kind of place, if you don't hide your strength and bide your time, how can you do it with extraordinary means.
When the protagonist Shou Ning Yin met him, he thought he was a fairy under the moon, clean in body, and heard that he had a miserable life experience, and felt pity for him.
It was a pleasure at first sight, and they became friends. When Xiao Tang learned that he was a twin but behaved like a man, and was different from himself in the mud, he was very envious of the freedom and light in that body.
It's just that it's true to be friends, and it's true to use the power behind Ning Yin to stand in line. When he ascends the throne as emperor, although he doesn't suppress those who once supported him, he is merciless to those who oppose him and harm him.
Homes were ransacked, people were murdered, heads fell to the ground one by one, and the smell of blood could be smelled at the vegetable market in the capital for several months.
Such ruthlessness is not the style of a wise king. The minister pleaded for mercy and the courtiers were cautious. It was the first time that Ning Yin knew where the fairy under the moon was and what kind of fairy he was.
The emperor's position is high and cold, the crown prince Xiao Tang was originally weak, and he worked hard day by day, but within three years he ran out of oil and lamps.
It wasn't until the body was buried after death that the lotus shape could no longer be concealed, and everyone knew that the emperor who had ascended the throne for three years and made Xiao Guo's national strength more than one step was actually a twin son.
"His Royal Highness." Father Lin saluted, followed by everyone behind him.
"Duke Protector is polite." Xiao Tang greeted him.
"The Lord Protector came from a long way, and the journey has been hard." Xiao Jin stepped forward and said, "This must be the son, it's really kind."
As a deputy envoy, he can naturally speak, but when he speaks, Xiao Tang keeps silent, and his attitude is full of concessions, which makes Xiao Jin feel more and more proud.
"Who is this?" Lin Su looked at Xiao Jin and asked.
The people in the capital are rich and noble, and Xiao Jin's clothes and face are obviously well-groomed. Although this luxurious body is compared with Xiao Tang's heroic appearance, but opposite to Lin Su, it has a bit of decadence, which seems deliberate and bloated.
The son of the protector of the country is not weaker than the son of the emperor, but the more prosperous appearance surprised all the ministers who greeted him. Naturally, Xiao Jin felt that he had lost a bit in momentum, and felt a little unhappy: "I am He is the current fifth prince."
"Fifth Prince," Lin Su laughed, "Fifth Prince is neither a direct descendant nor an elder, and has no official position. He serves as a deputy envoy to welcome people from the Duke Hu's residence. Could it be that His Majesty looks down on us?"
What he said was true, but what he said was true and arrogant, which forced Xiao Jin to feel hot in the cold wind.
This son of the protector of the country is really reckless and ignorant, if he ascends the throne in the future, he must be made to look good.
"Your Majesty misunderstood. This Palace is the official envoy. Although the emperor has no official position now, he is also the son of the Central Palace. His Majesty was overjoyed when he heard that you are here. It is His Majesty who values Southwest that sent me here." Xiao Tang lowered his eyes and said.
The Southwest Land indeed holds a lot of power. Since this person can hide his power and bide his time for several years without being noticed by anyone, he is naturally not a person who speaks lies. It is enviable to be able to be so willful without putting the imperial city in your eyes.
"What Brother Huang said is very true." Xiao Jin forced a smile.
When he came here, his mother had taught him that there might be disobedience in the Southwest, but now that the general situation has not been achieved, he cannot be an enemy and can only endure.
"So that's the case, but I misunderstood it." Lin Su said.
"Your Majesty is a man of temperament at first glance. I heard that Lingmei came with him this time, but she never accompanied her?" Xiao Jin asked.
"You mean Ting'er?" Lin Su laughed, pulled Lin Ting'er who had been staring at Xiao Tang all the time, and said, "This is the younger sister, Ting'er, who has seen the prince and the fifth prince."
Lin Ting'er had dark skin and was dressed more like a man. She glanced at Lin Su and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness, and I've seen the Fifth Prince."
The voice was hoarse, with the arrogance that had been experienced in the battlefield, Xiao Tang paused for a moment, Xiao Jin swallowed everything he wanted to say when he saw her posture and face, so that he coughed repeatedly: "This, this is... ..."
The son of Duke Huguo was born well, how could this daughter be born like that Yasha, the queen mother came up with a good idea, how could he marry?
"This is my sister-in-law. My sister was born with a unique personality. How does His Highness feel?" Lin Su looked at Xiao Tang and asked.
People in the central capital have to think three or five times about a sentence when they say it, so as to take the golden mean so as not to offend others. The land in the southwest is not naturally heroic and magnificent like the northwest, but this person is pointing directly at one person when he speaks.
Xiao Tang felt that he was not conspicuous, and he had no intention of competing with Xiao Jin this time, but he didn't know why this son of the Protector...
"Lingmei's life is very good." Xiao Tang said with a smile.
She doesn't look like an ordinary woman, but she has calluses on her hands, and it looks like she was crawling and rolling, but she is bold and heroic.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince thinks the same?" Lin Tinger scratched her head in embarrassment after hearing his praise, "Tinger thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince is born very well, just like the fairy in that painting."
"Young lady's praise." Xiao Tang saw that she spoke bluntly, but she didn't mean it. Although he didn't like others to talk about her appearance, but she didn't feel much conflicted when people said that.
Lin Ting'er listened to him talking to her, and was about to answer, when Lin Su looked at the fifth prince and asked, "What does the fifth prince think?"
Xiao Jin felt conflicted in his heart. If such a woman were his wife, he might not be able to eat every day and sleep at night, but he still couldn't say these words. A bit awkward and distorted: "I also think Ling Meisheng is very good."
"Where is it good?" Lin Su continued to ask.
Xiao Jin always felt that the son of the protector of the country seemed to be targeting her. He had prepared much better than the girls in Beijing, and he could not be used as an example of a lady, so he could only awkwardly say: "It looks quite bold. She is the daughter of the general."
He could feel it, but Xiao Tang couldn't feel it. He was a little surprised that Lin Su was dissatisfied with Xiao Jin, but this kind of problem... really made things difficult for him, the younger brother of the Fifth Emperor who wanted to marry a wife.
A smile flashed across Xiao Tang's eyes, but he just let himself go, the itchiness in his throat could no longer be suppressed, he coughed twice but he could hardly bear it.
"But it's cold?" Lin Su looked at his pale lips, secretly thinking that he was negligent.
The original world line did not record the prince's growth experience in too much detail, but a seven-year-old child is equivalent to having no father and no mother. To be able to grow up in a place like Miyagi that cannibalizes people, the hard work is not enough for outsiders.
His illness recurs every winter. Although there is a reason for deliberately letting others relax their vigilance against him, it is also a fact that the foundation is weak.
When he asked suddenly, Xiao Tang was startled: "I am fine, thank you, my lord."
"The prince is not feeling well. It is not suitable to stand in the wind for a long time. If he is really sick, it is the fault of the minister." Lin Su stepped forward to block the wind for him.
With such a close distance, Xiao Tang was subconsciously vigilant, but the two of them clearly had never been next to each other, but such closeness seemed to have a warm meaning, which showed that Lin Su was very angry.
Having such a healthy body makes Xiao Tang envious.
"Thank you for your concern, my son, the carriage is ready, this way please." Xiao Tang said.
"I don't like to drive, I just ride a horse." Father Lin said, looking at the spacious and luxurious vehicle.
"It's true. It's warmer after riding all the way, and it's cold when you get in the carriage." Lin Tinger said.
"You can do whatever you want, I will excuse you first." He walked to the front of the carriage and stepped up the steps.
Lin Su looked at Lin Ting'er at the side, and found that her gaze was still on Xiao Tang, and asked, "Why do you keep looking at him?"
"Isn't it because you look good?" Lin Ting'er snorted, "You are only allowed to see it, and I am not allowed to see it?"
Seeing Lin Su's expressionless face, she said alas, "Don't you think His Highness the Crown Prince looks like a twin?"
She saw someone who was handsome and good-looking, with a fair complexion, and she felt that he was a twin. The speaker had no intentions, but the listener had intentions. Xiao Tang's footsteps stopped, and she didn't know if the steps were not wiped clean by the snow water they stepped on before it snowed. Because of that, under that pause, his feet slipped directly, and his gaze was directly thrown back.
"His Royal Highness!!!" an attendant exclaimed.
It doesn't matter if it hurts or not, the important thing is that if the crown prince falls in public, I'm afraid it will become a scandal in Beijing and China today, which will attract punishment.
But now is not the time to show off his martial arts, Xiao Tang closed his eyes subconsciously, and was ready to fall, but there were a pair of strong hands clasped around his waist.
The back leaned against a person's chest, and an extremely warm feeling was conveyed, which instantly dispelled the coldness all over his body just now.
"His Royal Highness, be careful under your feet." A deep voice sounded from the top of his head, Xiao Tang opened his eyes, subconsciously wanted to get up when he saw the person who was very close, but his feet were still on the steps, and his body was easily handled by Lin Su Holding on, it was impossible to borrow strength for a while.
"Thank you for your help, my son, please let me go." Xiao Tang said.
Lin Su glanced down at his current state, wrapped his arms around his waist, and directly hugged him down from the steps, let him stand firmly, let go of his arms and backed away: "I offended you just now, and I still look at the prince." Forgive me."
He was on the horse just now, but he was able to fly over to catch the person in an instant, which shows that his martial arts are outstanding, and there is no presumption in his actions, and he should not know his identity, he should be sincere in saving people.
With the careful attention before and the grace of rescue now, Xiao Tang clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is so enthusiastic, how can I blame you, thank you very much."
"The road is slippery in snowy weather, the servants should work harder." Lin Su looked at the eunuch beside him and said.
The eunuch quickly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty taught me that."
When Xiao Tang got into the carriage again, someone helped him, and when he got into the carriage, his tense mind was relieved. The interior of the carriage was still warm, but Xiao Tang didn’t feel warm after sitting in it for a long time like in the past. There is no need to think about the reason. Just know.
Some ghosts opened a corner of the car window, and when they saw the man flying on the horse, they inexplicably thought of the hand clasped around his waist. He was peeping and didn't want to be alarmed, but Lin Su got on the horse and sat still, but seemed to sense that he was stealing. Looking directly at him, Xiao Tang smiled slightly, and subconsciously closed the car window. That man... what exactly is he trying to do?
"His Royal Highness?" the attendant who was serving in the carriage asked after seeing his behavior.
"Nothing." Xiao Tang regained his calm eyes and said, "Let's go."
Duke Protector has a lot of troops in his hands, so it's very difficult to win them over, but as long as they don't stand on Xiao Jin's side, he won't worry about it, but if he can win them over to his side, no one will think that he has little help.
It's just that I can't figure out the situation now. The purpose of the Duke Protector's visit to Beijing this time is not clear, and he is in a state of confusion.
Duke Hu of course also has a courtyard in Beijing, he sent the group to the courtyard in Beijing, Xiao Tang and others left, as for the visit to the palace, we have to wait for everyone to rest and recuperate, so there is no need to rush.
This time, Xiao Jin did not gain the upper hand in the reception, but was ridiculed for a long time. When he left, he got into the carriage with a bit of anger. He and Xiao Tang returned to the palace with him. Xiao Tang didn't say anything, but he He said exactly what Lin Su said at the city gate back then.
"Father, this prince protector is so arrogant, it can be seen that he has never taken you seriously." Xiao Jin was extremely displeased, he was waiting for the emperor to punish that person, but the emperor's expression on the throne was really calm.
"What the protector of the country said is also reasonable. Jin'er does not have an official position now. If she can get married as soon as possible, she will be able to establish herself as soon as possible. With a royal wife, it would be great if her temperament can be as calm as your imperial brother."
The emperor was wrong about the Southwest matter, but now he just wanted to appease him, and he didn't want to really cause any trouble. He was optimistic about Xiao Jin, but the comparison between the two sides showed that the prince was extraordinarily calm.
Xiao Jin was wronged in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she could only say yes in a nonchalant manner.
"Tang'er has nothing to say about the Southwest?" the emperor asked.
Xiao Tang cupped his hands and said: "I think that the people in the army will inevitably speak bluntly. I don't think there is any malice towards the emperor's younger brother. Moreover, my son almost slipped and fell when getting on the car, so the son will come to the rescue, so that this son will not lose his father. face, son..."
He had a look of hesitation on his face, and his lips were pale even when he was standing in the Nuan Pavilion. After all, he was his son. Although the emperor didn't like his sick and weak state, he was at ease: "Your heart has always been very soft, it's hard to say Needless to say, if you catch cold today, go back to your East Palace later, let the imperial physician take a good look at it, being sick every year is not good for your health."
"Thank you, Father, for your concern." There was a look of admiration in Xiao Tang's eyes.
"Let's all go back." The emperor looked at Xiao Jin who was at the side, and let out a light sigh.
When the two left, the emperor said: "Tang'er is calm, but Jin'er is really young and energetic now."
"His Royal Highness is in the East Palace, so he has to be stable." The eunuch said with a smile, "The Fifth Prince is young and energetic, and His Majesty also said that he is young. You are now in the prime of life, so just teach slowly."
"I originally planned that if he did this well, he would be rewarded so that he could work in the Six Departments. Now it seems that he has to temper his temper, or he will offend people if he goes." The emperor sighed, " This means that Tang'er's health is not good, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry about it."
"Your Majesty is merciful, His Royal Highness knows it." The eunuch smiled and said, "So even if you are sick, you have to get things done."
"It really deserves a reward. Pick the best of the thousand-year-old snow ginseng in my treasury, as well as the pen and ink from the new tribute." The emperor said.
The Duke Huguo's mansion in Beijing was full of excitement, they could only stay here temporarily, but it was a proper arrangement for a servant girl.
"I'm used to taking care of myself in the army, so I'm not used to having so many people waiting on me all of a sudden." Father Lin sat down and drank tea.
"Go and ask whose meaning it is?" Lin Su also sat on the side, and ordered the following soldiers.
The personal soldier went and came back, reporting: "His Royal Highness only added some sweepers from the outer courtyard, and the servants and maidservants in the inner courtyard were added by the Fifth Prince."
Lin Ting'er looked at the maidservants who came and went, and almost whistled: "Brother, don't tell me, the fifth prince has a good eye, and the maidservants selected here are all very beautiful, much prettier than those in our mansion. "
"The maids in the mansion are for serving, so it's not clear what they want to do if they look so good-looking." Lin's father has been under the supervision of Lin's mother for most of his life, and there is no concubine in the house. "They were all sent to the outer court. My son hasn't married yet. If his reputation is ruined by these, can a girl from a good family want him?"
"Yes." The soldier hurried away.
All the maids and attendants rushed to the outer courtyard, and only elite soldiers guarded the inner courtyard, and it was indeed much cleaner.
Lin Ting'er just took a look. It didn't matter if she saw it or not. Taking advantage of no one around, she moved to Lin Su's side and said, "Brother, what do you think of the prince's birth?"
When she asked this question, Father Lin looked over directly: "Why are you asking this?"
Lin Ting'er had a rare shyness on her face: "Don't you think he is beautiful?"
Father Lin's face was wrinkled and distorted: "You don't think you have a crush on the prince, do you?"
Lin Ting'er nodded generously: "I've never seen such a good-looking man, Dad, I, I, I, I want to marry."
"Pfft!" Father Lin spewed out a mouthful of tea, "Manly man, what's the use of being good-looking, look at his fragile appearance, can he marry you into the bridal chamber?"
"He's weak, but I'm strong, just complementary, brother, you're right." Lin Ting'er looked at him and smiled.
Lin Su picked up his teacup and looked at her leisurely: "You really like him?"
[This sister doesn't care. 】06 said.
[How nice to be a tool person. ] Lin Su laughed.
"I really like him. He looks better than Su Wenxuan." Lin Ting'er cupped her face and said, "Do you think I'm not a good match?"
"It's a good match." Lin Su said with a smile.
"Brother, you laughed so hard that I felt a little nervous. Do you like him too? If you were a twin, I would let you go, but that is a man. Brother, you have no luck. Sister, I am a girl anyway." Lin Tinger hehe With a smile, "Then do you agree?"
"Agree." Lin Su said.
"Do you really want this?" Lin's father listened to his conclusion, and his face wrinkled even deeper. He should plan to make a good choice in the capital. Prince, our Lin family is on the prince's side, and the prince doesn't know if he is a good master, even if he is, can his body hold up?"
The important thing is can they survive such a disaster as their Tinger?Don't make a mess at that time.
"The crown prince just has a cough, but it's just a cold. The son feels that nothing is wrong. The father doesn't want to take a stand. This time when he enters Beijing, someone will force him to take a stand. If Ting'er is married, it will be in line with the current emperor's wishes." Lin Su said.
"What do you mean?" Lin Ting'er was really puzzled by this.
"It means that you are the hostage of my southwest land. If we really rebel, we can threaten us with you." Lin Su told her bluntly, "But if we don't rebel, the Duke Protector's Mansion is here. No one dares to provoke you in Beijing."
"Brother, you are not stupid. If you really want to rebel, you must inform me. I won't run away early." Lin Ting'er smacked her lips.
Wanting to take her as a hostage is thinking too much.
"That's the reason. If you want to run, no one can stop you." Lin Su laughed.
"But her image, son, do you think she is suitable to be a princess?" Lin's father looked at Lin Ting'er, it was hard to imagine.
Although it is his own daughter who shouldn't be buried, but this reckless appearance will make the mother love the world in the future, and all the women in the world will have to mess up.
"What's wrong with me!" Lin Ting'er was very dissatisfied and wanted to fight her father.
"Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, the crown prince also said that Ting'er gave birth to a wonderful child. Since he doesn't care, why should father care?" Lin Su said.
With Lin Su's support, Lin Tinger instantly straightened her waist: "That's right, Dad, I want to be the princess."
Father Lin glanced at Lin Su who was drinking tea next to him, and then at Hu Baji's daughter. He missed his wife who stayed in Southwest City very much. .
"Then just go and talk to the emperor." Lin's father said, "As for whether it can be done or not, it depends on good luck."
"Is it possible that my younger sister is not worthy of the current crown prince? Of course she can." Lin Su said.
It's fine if he doesn't say this, but once he said this, Lin Ting'er became a little flustered: "That's right, Dad, you despise yourself too much."
Father Lin: "..."
Dad sees you are very swollen.
Many people saw the Duke Protector's entry into the city, but many people were impressed by the prince's good looks and good manners. Even if he was a prince, there were people who would believe him.
It's just that the people in central Beijing paid more attention not to Lin Su, but to the daughter of Lord Protector.
"You guys didn't see it, she was born tougher than a man like that, the fifth prince didn't recognize that it was a woman, and those who didn't know thought that Duke Hu had two sons."
"The skin is dark, and I heard that there is stubble on the face, which is very scary."
"Which family would dare to marry such a woman? Could it be used to ward off evil spirits?"
"I can't say it, I can't say it..."
Rumors abounded in the capital, and the queen's palace was also a little quiet. The queen really didn't expect that the daughter of the dignified protector was more like a man than a man. She looked at Xiao Jin who was sullen and said: "It's just ugly, it's not What's the big deal, if you marry her and don't touch her, is it possible that she can still be strong? When you become a dragon in the future, you can marry any woman you want."
Xiao Jin's complexion is not good: "You didn't see the mother, she doesn't look like a woman. There has been a saying in Beijing that Lin Ting'er is strong enough to carry a tripod. If she really wants to force her, how can my son stand it? I won't marry her." , marry whoever you like, or let Cao Shangshu's son marry him, isn't he from our side?"
He was obviously disgusted, and it was difficult to look at him afterwards: "After a few days, they will enter the palace to have an audience. When the time comes, the queen mother will go and have a look. If it is really ugly, then don't make things too difficult for my son. When the time comes, I will be the protector of the country." Your son can do it too."
"That boy looks pretty good, but I really don't like it." Xiao Jin said.
"If you don't like it, you have to endure it. Your Majesty's comfort is the priority now. Your Majesty has not yet made trouble. You have to endure any emotions. The Queen Mother has already inquired about it. Originally, this time your father and emperor will take the opportunity to let you enter the court to practice. But I feel that you have lost your composure and pushed back, do you think you will never enter the court for the rest of your life?" Then he said with a gloomy face.
It was rare for her to be sombre, and Xiao Jin had a sullen expression on her face: "My son knows."
He was summoned in the palace three days later, Lin's father wore the general's court uniform, Lin Su didn't hold a post, but he also wore the prince's clothes, since he entered the barracks, it was rare for him to wear wide sleeves.
Indigo clothes, embroidered with gold thread, and wearing a gold and jade crown, long hair hanging down her waist, Lin Tinger couldn't help swallowing when she came out: "If it wasn't for my brother...ah, Dad, you Hit me again!"
She has no official position, and she has to wear women's clothing when entering the palace. She is also dressed in indigo blue, but her complexion is not as dark, but no matter how she looks, she looks like a man disguised as a woman, and the pearl hairpin on her head is dangling. Touch your head.
"Today is your big day, and the hair accessories should not be messed up." Lin Su stretched out his hand to help her straighten the hairpins on her head and said, "Be patient, otherwise you will be married and dress like a woman in the future, and you will be suffocated."
If she really became a princess, she would definitely not be able to wear men's clothes like before. Lin Ting'er felt that what he said made sense, and nodded repeatedly: "I...be patient."
"You must speak of your servant in front of His Majesty." Lin Su urged again.
Entering the palace was introduced by eunuchs, and there were people talking all the way, and the voice spread far away, until the imperial study room was reached, and the warmth inside spread out from the open door.
"Please protect the country, sir, please...girl." The chief eunuch glanced at Lin Tinger, and almost no one noticed the hesitation in his words.
When the three of them entered the palace, although the emperor felt a little depressed when he saw Lin Su, he couldn't help but sigh that his appearance and bearing were really good. He had many princes, but no one could beat him just by his bearing.
When he saw Lin Ting'er, his expression froze for a rare moment.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty." The three of them knelt down and saluted, which allowed him to adjust his expressions in time.
"Protecting the country is fair." Emperor Ming Cheng got up, walked around the imperial table and helped him up, "I have come from a long way, and the journey has been hard."
"Your Majesty is fit, so I don't feel hard work." Father Lin replied in a well-mannered manner.
"There is no war in the left and right southwest. Since I have come to Beijing, I will stay for a longer time." Emperor Ming Cheng supported Lin's father's arm, looked at Lin Su and said, "This is your son, he is indeed a good-looking talent. Thinking about contributing a lot to the victory in the Southwest War, Lord Huguo taught his son well."
"Your son is indeed talented in military affairs, and I am very happy to have successors." Father Lin said.
What he is most proud of now is his son. Although his wife said that he should be humble, but it is fine for him to be modest, he just wants to show off his son.
He wanted to raise his son to waste, but in the end, one of his sons was better than the whole litter of the emperor. Now he can't settle the score, and it's okay to die of anger first.
Ming Chengdi was really upset in his heart, but he could only smile and said: "It's good to be happy, I heard that both of your sons and daughters are not married yet, so are you optimistic about them?"
"The son is not optimistic about it yet, but the daughter is. It's up to His Majesty to decide." Father Lin said.
"Oh, I don't know which family's son it is. If you really like it, I will marry you." Emperor Ming Cheng glanced at Lin Ting'er.
Although this girl did not have a good birth, it would be beneficial to him if she married into the capital, Duke Hu is showing weakness.
Father Lin coughed: "It's not from another family, it's His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince."
The corner of Emperor Ming Cheng's mouth was flattened for a moment, but it was raised again when Father Lin looked over: "Ting'er likes the prince?"
If the land in the southwest supports the crown prince, then the position of the East Palace will only be more stable, but Tang'er is not in good health, marrying him is much more reassuring than marrying anyone else.
"The prince was born very well, Ting'er fell in love at first sight." Lin Ting'er said, "I only want to marry him in this life."
"Tang'er does not have a crown prince now, but he is a crown prince, and at this time he also pays attention to the pleasing relationship between two people. I still have to ask his opinion." Ming Chengdi felt a headache when he saw her like that.
Naturally, the father should not be too arbitrary. If the crown prince refused desperately, Emperor Ming Cheng would not be able to force him.
"Your Majesty just ask." Lin Ting'er said.
The prince praised her for her good looks when he first saw her, so he must succeed.
Emperor Ming Cheng immediately summoned Xiao Tang, the people came, but they were carried. He was not wearing court clothes, although he was wearing a cloak, but his figure was thinner than the day when we first met him, his lips were white and frightening, his face was But it was reddish, and when he knelt down, his eyes were full of exhaustion, as if he had difficulty even breathing.
"I pay homage to my father, I don't know why my father, Xuan Erchen, came here?" Xiao Tangqiang asked energetically.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Ming Cheng saw that he was really in a bad state.
"It's just a bit of wind and cold, it's not a hindrance." Xiao Tang glanced at Lin Su and the three of them from the corner of his eyes. He knew that Duke Hu would come to the palace to see him today, but he didn't know why he would.
A group of people traveled lightly, and brought dozens of elite soldiers, all on horseback. When it was time to say goodbye, Lin's mother stood in front of the door and said to Lin Su: "This time, you must be careful in everything when you go to the capital. If your father doesn't notice something, you Be careful, and show Tinger a look at others along the way."
"Ma'am, as my husband is old, I don't need my son to give me advice." Father Lin coughed.
"You only know how to play tricks on the battlefield. How can you tell if those people in the officialdom try to trick you? If you really have some brains, you don't have to hide your strength and bide your time for so many years." Mother Lin gave him a white look.
Lin's father was blocked speechless: "Are you planning to marry Ting'er in the capital? Isn't it good in the southwest?"
"What do you know?" Lin's mother looked at Lin Su and said, "My son knows about this matter. Although you have to be more careful in your actions, you don't have to be afraid of others everywhere. With your mother around, if something really happened in Beijing I'm not afraid either."
Mother Lin is a heroic figure. Although she lives in the back house, her martial arts skills have never fallen. In a real fight, Lin Ting'er may not be an opponent, and the trainer sometimes does more than just say a few words.
As for Lin Ting'er's marriage... The power in Beijing and China is entangled. Although it is not possible to show it to the public, privately, the courtiers have stood in line, the Duke of the Protectorate is in control of the army, and the southwest land is his fief. There are successors, and now they are If the battle is victorious and the limelight is unmatched, there are not a few people in Beijing who want to win over.
The southwestern land has very little to do with the central capital. The most direct way to win over is to plan on Lin Su and Lin Tinger's marriage. Lin Su's marriage is no better than marrying Lin Tinger into the capital. It is good to be able to win over and to be of high quality.
Lin Su naturally understood what Mother Lin meant: "Mother, don't worry, the child knows."
Southwest didn't intend to rebel, but because of such a strong backing, Lin Tinger would not be bullied no matter where she married. The most important thing is that no one in Southwest City dared to marry her, so she could only find one or two in Beijing.
"I heard that there are many beautiful men in Beijing and China. I will choose one carefully this time." Lin Ting'er smacked her lips and said.
"Naturally, my sister wants to marry the best man." Lin Su laughed.
"Madam, take care." Father Lin and his party bid farewell, and they all left the southwest city on horseback.
It was only half a month before the New Year's Eve, and the group only took a short rest at the post station at night, and the rest of the time they went all the way fast, but the capital was already in sight on the tenth day.
Different from the cities in the southwestern border, this place looks extraordinarily dense and prosperous from a distance. They did not hide their whereabouts along the way, so someone reported the itinerary, and when the group arrived ten miles away, the guard of honor in the city was already waiting.
The crown prince Xiao Tang was the chief envoy, and the fifth prince Xiao Jin was the deputy envoy. The ice and snow in the capital had not yet melted, and the cold wind was quite bitter. Known as a beauty, the appearance of the son she gave birth to is naturally handsome.
The crown prince is dressed in formal clothes, with a jade crown and a streamer. Although he is also jade-like, his appearance is not inferior to the clothes, but it is different from Xiao Jin who can talk and laugh in the cold wind. After coughing for a few times, the already pale lip color became even more pale.
"His Royal Highness's hand stove should be changed." The attendant stepped forward to change the warm hand stove in his hand, "If you feel cold..."
"It's okay, the state's affairs are the most important, and I'm fine with it." Xiao Tang took the hand stove, and finally felt a little warmth spread in his body that was so cold.
"Brother Huang will have a relapse of his old illness when winter comes. Duke Huguo is just a feudal lord, so how can he be more important than Brother Huang's body? Why don't we rest in the room first, and come out after they really enter the city." Xiao Jin said.
"Father, please don't be negligent at this time... Cough cough..." Xiao Tang couldn't hold back and coughed twice, "Thank you, brother, for your concern."
He is obviously in poor health, and all the accompanying officials can see it. In the eyes of the courtiers, Xiao Tang is actually not suitable to be a prince. Not to mention his love of poetry and painting. , such a poor physical condition is not suitable for the crown prince.
But he happened to be His Majesty's only son and the eldest son. The eldest son was the orthodox position. If he avoided the eldest son and changed to a bastard, it would be unreasonable no matter which ancestral etiquette.
"Your brother just sees Brother Huang suffering, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart." Xiao Jin looked at his pale face and felt a little satisfied.
So what about the eldest son, although he will be reincarnated, he looks like a short-lived ghost, and he will not enjoy long-term blessings.
The fifth prince is strong, but the crown prince can only evade as heir. Some people feel emotional, and some people already understand the interests of the court.
The sound of horseshoes sounded as if it could shake the earth. A group of people appeared at the end of the snow. The leader was Duke Hu Guo, and his arrogance could not even cover half of the snow.
A group of people came on the snow, completely unaffected by the cold wind. Xiao Tang looked there, but his eyes were attracted by the young man on the horse beside Duke Hu.
Riding a horse is the most wanton and joyful thing for a man, and it is also the most impossible thing for Xiao Tang in his life.
The group of people got closer and closer, and everyone was heroic, but the young man was tall and straight, and his riding skills were superb. When he saw it clearly, his handsome edge seemed to be more eye-catching than the white snow all over the place. a bit.
The reins were tightened, and the tall horse raised its head and neighed. Lin Su patted the horse's neck to comfort him twice, and looked up at the white and thin figure on the city wall.
His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, at that moment Xiao Tang actually had the feeling of looking at him, his eyes met, but he subconsciously avoided it, feeling a little shocked in his heart.
This man is by no means easy to mess with.
"Good riding!" The general stationed in the capital couldn't help but praised a few times.
"That's the son of the protector?" Xiao Jin looked at Lin Su and asked, "He has a good appearance, which one is his younger sister?"
Why didn't he see the woman in the crowd?
"Open the city gate." Xiao Tang was annoyed at his avoidance just now, but the group of people had already reached the bottom of the city, and there was no reason to refuse to let them in. He handed the hand stove to the person next to him, and tidied up the hem of his clothes that had been blown by the wind , walked down the wall.
The city gate was wide open, and a group of people rode in, dismounting one after another when they reached the guard of honor.
The snow scene is magnificent, the outside of the city is covered with snow, but the streets inside the city have been swept away, leaving only roads of remnant snow, but the houses in the distance are all white, the man in white walked down the tower step by step, It feels a bit ethereal.
Others are all colorful, embellishing the bustling capital city, only his clothes are white, his complexion is white and flawless, and his eyes are darker than the night, but he is sick and weak, and he still has no trace of the prince's demeanor.
[06 The system announced tasks, task [-], survive as the original owner, task [-], change the original fate of the supporting actor Xiao Tang. 】
The crown prince Xiao Tang was born after the Yuan Dynasty. The current emperor was born as a concubine. He married the only daughter of the Duke of Zhen to become the emperor. kill.
It is common for the emperor to be ruthless.
Empress Yuan gave birth to Xiao Tang, who died after struggling for seven years, leaving Xiao Tang, who was just seven years old, struggling to survive in the face of the huge court.
If you want to survive in that kind of place, if you don't hide your strength and bide your time, how can you do it with extraordinary means.
When the protagonist Shou Ning Yin met him, he thought he was a fairy under the moon, clean in body, and heard that he had a miserable life experience, and felt pity for him.
It was a pleasure at first sight, and they became friends. When Xiao Tang learned that he was a twin but behaved like a man, and was different from himself in the mud, he was very envious of the freedom and light in that body.
It's just that it's true to be friends, and it's true to use the power behind Ning Yin to stand in line. When he ascends the throne as emperor, although he doesn't suppress those who once supported him, he is merciless to those who oppose him and harm him.
Homes were ransacked, people were murdered, heads fell to the ground one by one, and the smell of blood could be smelled at the vegetable market in the capital for several months.
Such ruthlessness is not the style of a wise king. The minister pleaded for mercy and the courtiers were cautious. It was the first time that Ning Yin knew where the fairy under the moon was and what kind of fairy he was.
The emperor's position is high and cold, the crown prince Xiao Tang was originally weak, and he worked hard day by day, but within three years he ran out of oil and lamps.
It wasn't until the body was buried after death that the lotus shape could no longer be concealed, and everyone knew that the emperor who had ascended the throne for three years and made Xiao Guo's national strength more than one step was actually a twin son.
"His Royal Highness." Father Lin saluted, followed by everyone behind him.
"Duke Protector is polite." Xiao Tang greeted him.
"The Lord Protector came from a long way, and the journey has been hard." Xiao Jin stepped forward and said, "This must be the son, it's really kind."
As a deputy envoy, he can naturally speak, but when he speaks, Xiao Tang keeps silent, and his attitude is full of concessions, which makes Xiao Jin feel more and more proud.
"Who is this?" Lin Su looked at Xiao Jin and asked.
The people in the capital are rich and noble, and Xiao Jin's clothes and face are obviously well-groomed. Although this luxurious body is compared with Xiao Tang's heroic appearance, but opposite to Lin Su, it has a bit of decadence, which seems deliberate and bloated.
The son of the protector of the country is not weaker than the son of the emperor, but the more prosperous appearance surprised all the ministers who greeted him. Naturally, Xiao Jin felt that he had lost a bit in momentum, and felt a little unhappy: "I am He is the current fifth prince."
"Fifth Prince," Lin Su laughed, "Fifth Prince is neither a direct descendant nor an elder, and has no official position. He serves as a deputy envoy to welcome people from the Duke Hu's residence. Could it be that His Majesty looks down on us?"
What he said was true, but what he said was true and arrogant, which forced Xiao Jin to feel hot in the cold wind.
This son of the protector of the country is really reckless and ignorant, if he ascends the throne in the future, he must be made to look good.
"Your Majesty misunderstood. This Palace is the official envoy. Although the emperor has no official position now, he is also the son of the Central Palace. His Majesty was overjoyed when he heard that you are here. It is His Majesty who values Southwest that sent me here." Xiao Tang lowered his eyes and said.
The Southwest Land indeed holds a lot of power. Since this person can hide his power and bide his time for several years without being noticed by anyone, he is naturally not a person who speaks lies. It is enviable to be able to be so willful without putting the imperial city in your eyes.
"What Brother Huang said is very true." Xiao Jin forced a smile.
When he came here, his mother had taught him that there might be disobedience in the Southwest, but now that the general situation has not been achieved, he cannot be an enemy and can only endure.
"So that's the case, but I misunderstood it." Lin Su said.
"Your Majesty is a man of temperament at first glance. I heard that Lingmei came with him this time, but she never accompanied her?" Xiao Jin asked.
"You mean Ting'er?" Lin Su laughed, pulled Lin Ting'er who had been staring at Xiao Tang all the time, and said, "This is the younger sister, Ting'er, who has seen the prince and the fifth prince."
Lin Ting'er had dark skin and was dressed more like a man. She glanced at Lin Su and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness, and I've seen the Fifth Prince."
The voice was hoarse, with the arrogance that had been experienced in the battlefield, Xiao Tang paused for a moment, Xiao Jin swallowed everything he wanted to say when he saw her posture and face, so that he coughed repeatedly: "This, this is... ..."
The son of Duke Huguo was born well, how could this daughter be born like that Yasha, the queen mother came up with a good idea, how could he marry?
"This is my sister-in-law. My sister was born with a unique personality. How does His Highness feel?" Lin Su looked at Xiao Tang and asked.
People in the central capital have to think three or five times about a sentence when they say it, so as to take the golden mean so as not to offend others. The land in the southwest is not naturally heroic and magnificent like the northwest, but this person is pointing directly at one person when he speaks.
Xiao Tang felt that he was not conspicuous, and he had no intention of competing with Xiao Jin this time, but he didn't know why this son of the Protector...
"Lingmei's life is very good." Xiao Tang said with a smile.
She doesn't look like an ordinary woman, but she has calluses on her hands, and it looks like she was crawling and rolling, but she is bold and heroic.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince thinks the same?" Lin Tinger scratched her head in embarrassment after hearing his praise, "Tinger thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince is born very well, just like the fairy in that painting."
"Young lady's praise." Xiao Tang saw that she spoke bluntly, but she didn't mean it. Although he didn't like others to talk about her appearance, but she didn't feel much conflicted when people said that.
Lin Ting'er listened to him talking to her, and was about to answer, when Lin Su looked at the fifth prince and asked, "What does the fifth prince think?"
Xiao Jin felt conflicted in his heart. If such a woman were his wife, he might not be able to eat every day and sleep at night, but he still couldn't say these words. A bit awkward and distorted: "I also think Ling Meisheng is very good."
"Where is it good?" Lin Su continued to ask.
Xiao Jin always felt that the son of the protector of the country seemed to be targeting her. He had prepared much better than the girls in Beijing, and he could not be used as an example of a lady, so he could only awkwardly say: "It looks quite bold. She is the daughter of the general."
He could feel it, but Xiao Tang couldn't feel it. He was a little surprised that Lin Su was dissatisfied with Xiao Jin, but this kind of problem... really made things difficult for him, the younger brother of the Fifth Emperor who wanted to marry a wife.
A smile flashed across Xiao Tang's eyes, but he just let himself go, the itchiness in his throat could no longer be suppressed, he coughed twice but he could hardly bear it.
"But it's cold?" Lin Su looked at his pale lips, secretly thinking that he was negligent.
The original world line did not record the prince's growth experience in too much detail, but a seven-year-old child is equivalent to having no father and no mother. To be able to grow up in a place like Miyagi that cannibalizes people, the hard work is not enough for outsiders.
His illness recurs every winter. Although there is a reason for deliberately letting others relax their vigilance against him, it is also a fact that the foundation is weak.
When he asked suddenly, Xiao Tang was startled: "I am fine, thank you, my lord."
"The prince is not feeling well. It is not suitable to stand in the wind for a long time. If he is really sick, it is the fault of the minister." Lin Su stepped forward to block the wind for him.
With such a close distance, Xiao Tang was subconsciously vigilant, but the two of them clearly had never been next to each other, but such closeness seemed to have a warm meaning, which showed that Lin Su was very angry.
Having such a healthy body makes Xiao Tang envious.
"Thank you for your concern, my son, the carriage is ready, this way please." Xiao Tang said.
"I don't like to drive, I just ride a horse." Father Lin said, looking at the spacious and luxurious vehicle.
"It's true. It's warmer after riding all the way, and it's cold when you get in the carriage." Lin Tinger said.
"You can do whatever you want, I will excuse you first." He walked to the front of the carriage and stepped up the steps.
Lin Su looked at Lin Ting'er at the side, and found that her gaze was still on Xiao Tang, and asked, "Why do you keep looking at him?"
"Isn't it because you look good?" Lin Ting'er snorted, "You are only allowed to see it, and I am not allowed to see it?"
Seeing Lin Su's expressionless face, she said alas, "Don't you think His Highness the Crown Prince looks like a twin?"
She saw someone who was handsome and good-looking, with a fair complexion, and she felt that he was a twin. The speaker had no intentions, but the listener had intentions. Xiao Tang's footsteps stopped, and she didn't know if the steps were not wiped clean by the snow water they stepped on before it snowed. Because of that, under that pause, his feet slipped directly, and his gaze was directly thrown back.
"His Royal Highness!!!" an attendant exclaimed.
It doesn't matter if it hurts or not, the important thing is that if the crown prince falls in public, I'm afraid it will become a scandal in Beijing and China today, which will attract punishment.
But now is not the time to show off his martial arts, Xiao Tang closed his eyes subconsciously, and was ready to fall, but there were a pair of strong hands clasped around his waist.
The back leaned against a person's chest, and an extremely warm feeling was conveyed, which instantly dispelled the coldness all over his body just now.
"His Royal Highness, be careful under your feet." A deep voice sounded from the top of his head, Xiao Tang opened his eyes, subconsciously wanted to get up when he saw the person who was very close, but his feet were still on the steps, and his body was easily handled by Lin Su Holding on, it was impossible to borrow strength for a while.
"Thank you for your help, my son, please let me go." Xiao Tang said.
Lin Su glanced down at his current state, wrapped his arms around his waist, and directly hugged him down from the steps, let him stand firmly, let go of his arms and backed away: "I offended you just now, and I still look at the prince." Forgive me."
He was on the horse just now, but he was able to fly over to catch the person in an instant, which shows that his martial arts are outstanding, and there is no presumption in his actions, and he should not know his identity, he should be sincere in saving people.
With the careful attention before and the grace of rescue now, Xiao Tang clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is so enthusiastic, how can I blame you, thank you very much."
"The road is slippery in snowy weather, the servants should work harder." Lin Su looked at the eunuch beside him and said.
The eunuch quickly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty taught me that."
When Xiao Tang got into the carriage again, someone helped him, and when he got into the carriage, his tense mind was relieved. The interior of the carriage was still warm, but Xiao Tang didn’t feel warm after sitting in it for a long time like in the past. There is no need to think about the reason. Just know.
Some ghosts opened a corner of the car window, and when they saw the man flying on the horse, they inexplicably thought of the hand clasped around his waist. He was peeping and didn't want to be alarmed, but Lin Su got on the horse and sat still, but seemed to sense that he was stealing. Looking directly at him, Xiao Tang smiled slightly, and subconsciously closed the car window. That man... what exactly is he trying to do?
"His Royal Highness?" the attendant who was serving in the carriage asked after seeing his behavior.
"Nothing." Xiao Tang regained his calm eyes and said, "Let's go."
Duke Protector has a lot of troops in his hands, so it's very difficult to win them over, but as long as they don't stand on Xiao Jin's side, he won't worry about it, but if he can win them over to his side, no one will think that he has little help.
It's just that I can't figure out the situation now. The purpose of the Duke Protector's visit to Beijing this time is not clear, and he is in a state of confusion.
Duke Hu of course also has a courtyard in Beijing, he sent the group to the courtyard in Beijing, Xiao Tang and others left, as for the visit to the palace, we have to wait for everyone to rest and recuperate, so there is no need to rush.
This time, Xiao Jin did not gain the upper hand in the reception, but was ridiculed for a long time. When he left, he got into the carriage with a bit of anger. He and Xiao Tang returned to the palace with him. Xiao Tang didn't say anything, but he He said exactly what Lin Su said at the city gate back then.
"Father, this prince protector is so arrogant, it can be seen that he has never taken you seriously." Xiao Jin was extremely displeased, he was waiting for the emperor to punish that person, but the emperor's expression on the throne was really calm.
"What the protector of the country said is also reasonable. Jin'er does not have an official position now. If she can get married as soon as possible, she will be able to establish herself as soon as possible. With a royal wife, it would be great if her temperament can be as calm as your imperial brother."
The emperor was wrong about the Southwest matter, but now he just wanted to appease him, and he didn't want to really cause any trouble. He was optimistic about Xiao Jin, but the comparison between the two sides showed that the prince was extraordinarily calm.
Xiao Jin was wronged in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she could only say yes in a nonchalant manner.
"Tang'er has nothing to say about the Southwest?" the emperor asked.
Xiao Tang cupped his hands and said: "I think that the people in the army will inevitably speak bluntly. I don't think there is any malice towards the emperor's younger brother. Moreover, my son almost slipped and fell when getting on the car, so the son will come to the rescue, so that this son will not lose his father. face, son..."
He had a look of hesitation on his face, and his lips were pale even when he was standing in the Nuan Pavilion. After all, he was his son. Although the emperor didn't like his sick and weak state, he was at ease: "Your heart has always been very soft, it's hard to say Needless to say, if you catch cold today, go back to your East Palace later, let the imperial physician take a good look at it, being sick every year is not good for your health."
"Thank you, Father, for your concern." There was a look of admiration in Xiao Tang's eyes.
"Let's all go back." The emperor looked at Xiao Jin who was at the side, and let out a light sigh.
When the two left, the emperor said: "Tang'er is calm, but Jin'er is really young and energetic now."
"His Royal Highness is in the East Palace, so he has to be stable." The eunuch said with a smile, "The Fifth Prince is young and energetic, and His Majesty also said that he is young. You are now in the prime of life, so just teach slowly."
"I originally planned that if he did this well, he would be rewarded so that he could work in the Six Departments. Now it seems that he has to temper his temper, or he will offend people if he goes." The emperor sighed, " This means that Tang'er's health is not good, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry about it."
"Your Majesty is merciful, His Royal Highness knows it." The eunuch smiled and said, "So even if you are sick, you have to get things done."
"It really deserves a reward. Pick the best of the thousand-year-old snow ginseng in my treasury, as well as the pen and ink from the new tribute." The emperor said.
The Duke Huguo's mansion in Beijing was full of excitement, they could only stay here temporarily, but it was a proper arrangement for a servant girl.
"I'm used to taking care of myself in the army, so I'm not used to having so many people waiting on me all of a sudden." Father Lin sat down and drank tea.
"Go and ask whose meaning it is?" Lin Su also sat on the side, and ordered the following soldiers.
The personal soldier went and came back, reporting: "His Royal Highness only added some sweepers from the outer courtyard, and the servants and maidservants in the inner courtyard were added by the Fifth Prince."
Lin Ting'er looked at the maidservants who came and went, and almost whistled: "Brother, don't tell me, the fifth prince has a good eye, and the maidservants selected here are all very beautiful, much prettier than those in our mansion. "
"The maids in the mansion are for serving, so it's not clear what they want to do if they look so good-looking." Lin's father has been under the supervision of Lin's mother for most of his life, and there is no concubine in the house. "They were all sent to the outer court. My son hasn't married yet. If his reputation is ruined by these, can a girl from a good family want him?"
"Yes." The soldier hurried away.
All the maids and attendants rushed to the outer courtyard, and only elite soldiers guarded the inner courtyard, and it was indeed much cleaner.
Lin Ting'er just took a look. It didn't matter if she saw it or not. Taking advantage of no one around, she moved to Lin Su's side and said, "Brother, what do you think of the prince's birth?"
When she asked this question, Father Lin looked over directly: "Why are you asking this?"
Lin Ting'er had a rare shyness on her face: "Don't you think he is beautiful?"
Father Lin's face was wrinkled and distorted: "You don't think you have a crush on the prince, do you?"
Lin Ting'er nodded generously: "I've never seen such a good-looking man, Dad, I, I, I, I want to marry."
"Pfft!" Father Lin spewed out a mouthful of tea, "Manly man, what's the use of being good-looking, look at his fragile appearance, can he marry you into the bridal chamber?"
"He's weak, but I'm strong, just complementary, brother, you're right." Lin Ting'er looked at him and smiled.
Lin Su picked up his teacup and looked at her leisurely: "You really like him?"
[This sister doesn't care. 】06 said.
[How nice to be a tool person. ] Lin Su laughed.
"I really like him. He looks better than Su Wenxuan." Lin Ting'er cupped her face and said, "Do you think I'm not a good match?"
"It's a good match." Lin Su said with a smile.
"Brother, you laughed so hard that I felt a little nervous. Do you like him too? If you were a twin, I would let you go, but that is a man. Brother, you have no luck. Sister, I am a girl anyway." Lin Tinger hehe With a smile, "Then do you agree?"
"Agree." Lin Su said.
"Do you really want this?" Lin's father listened to his conclusion, and his face wrinkled even deeper. He should plan to make a good choice in the capital. Prince, our Lin family is on the prince's side, and the prince doesn't know if he is a good master, even if he is, can his body hold up?"
The important thing is can they survive such a disaster as their Tinger?Don't make a mess at that time.
"The crown prince just has a cough, but it's just a cold. The son feels that nothing is wrong. The father doesn't want to take a stand. This time when he enters Beijing, someone will force him to take a stand. If Ting'er is married, it will be in line with the current emperor's wishes." Lin Su said.
"What do you mean?" Lin Ting'er was really puzzled by this.
"It means that you are the hostage of my southwest land. If we really rebel, we can threaten us with you." Lin Su told her bluntly, "But if we don't rebel, the Duke Protector's Mansion is here. No one dares to provoke you in Beijing."
"Brother, you are not stupid. If you really want to rebel, you must inform me. I won't run away early." Lin Ting'er smacked her lips.
Wanting to take her as a hostage is thinking too much.
"That's the reason. If you want to run, no one can stop you." Lin Su laughed.
"But her image, son, do you think she is suitable to be a princess?" Lin's father looked at Lin Ting'er, it was hard to imagine.
Although it is his own daughter who shouldn't be buried, but this reckless appearance will make the mother love the world in the future, and all the women in the world will have to mess up.
"What's wrong with me!" Lin Ting'er was very dissatisfied and wanted to fight her father.
"Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, the crown prince also said that Ting'er gave birth to a wonderful child. Since he doesn't care, why should father care?" Lin Su said.
With Lin Su's support, Lin Tinger instantly straightened her waist: "That's right, Dad, I want to be the princess."
Father Lin glanced at Lin Su who was drinking tea next to him, and then at Hu Baji's daughter. He missed his wife who stayed in Southwest City very much. .
"Then just go and talk to the emperor." Lin's father said, "As for whether it can be done or not, it depends on good luck."
"Is it possible that my younger sister is not worthy of the current crown prince? Of course she can." Lin Su said.
It's fine if he doesn't say this, but once he said this, Lin Ting'er became a little flustered: "That's right, Dad, you despise yourself too much."
Father Lin: "..."
Dad sees you are very swollen.
Many people saw the Duke Protector's entry into the city, but many people were impressed by the prince's good looks and good manners. Even if he was a prince, there were people who would believe him.
It's just that the people in central Beijing paid more attention not to Lin Su, but to the daughter of Lord Protector.
"You guys didn't see it, she was born tougher than a man like that, the fifth prince didn't recognize that it was a woman, and those who didn't know thought that Duke Hu had two sons."
"The skin is dark, and I heard that there is stubble on the face, which is very scary."
"Which family would dare to marry such a woman? Could it be used to ward off evil spirits?"
"I can't say it, I can't say it..."
Rumors abounded in the capital, and the queen's palace was also a little quiet. The queen really didn't expect that the daughter of the dignified protector was more like a man than a man. She looked at Xiao Jin who was sullen and said: "It's just ugly, it's not What's the big deal, if you marry her and don't touch her, is it possible that she can still be strong? When you become a dragon in the future, you can marry any woman you want."
Xiao Jin's complexion is not good: "You didn't see the mother, she doesn't look like a woman. There has been a saying in Beijing that Lin Ting'er is strong enough to carry a tripod. If she really wants to force her, how can my son stand it? I won't marry her." , marry whoever you like, or let Cao Shangshu's son marry him, isn't he from our side?"
He was obviously disgusted, and it was difficult to look at him afterwards: "After a few days, they will enter the palace to have an audience. When the time comes, the queen mother will go and have a look. If it is really ugly, then don't make things too difficult for my son. When the time comes, I will be the protector of the country." Your son can do it too."
"That boy looks pretty good, but I really don't like it." Xiao Jin said.
"If you don't like it, you have to endure it. Your Majesty's comfort is the priority now. Your Majesty has not yet made trouble. You have to endure any emotions. The Queen Mother has already inquired about it. Originally, this time your father and emperor will take the opportunity to let you enter the court to practice. But I feel that you have lost your composure and pushed back, do you think you will never enter the court for the rest of your life?" Then he said with a gloomy face.
It was rare for her to be sombre, and Xiao Jin had a sullen expression on her face: "My son knows."
He was summoned in the palace three days later, Lin's father wore the general's court uniform, Lin Su didn't hold a post, but he also wore the prince's clothes, since he entered the barracks, it was rare for him to wear wide sleeves.
Indigo clothes, embroidered with gold thread, and wearing a gold and jade crown, long hair hanging down her waist, Lin Tinger couldn't help swallowing when she came out: "If it wasn't for my brother...ah, Dad, you Hit me again!"
She has no official position, and she has to wear women's clothing when entering the palace. She is also dressed in indigo blue, but her complexion is not as dark, but no matter how she looks, she looks like a man disguised as a woman, and the pearl hairpin on her head is dangling. Touch your head.
"Today is your big day, and the hair accessories should not be messed up." Lin Su stretched out his hand to help her straighten the hairpins on her head and said, "Be patient, otherwise you will be married and dress like a woman in the future, and you will be suffocated."
If she really became a princess, she would definitely not be able to wear men's clothes like before. Lin Ting'er felt that what he said made sense, and nodded repeatedly: "I...be patient."
"You must speak of your servant in front of His Majesty." Lin Su urged again.
Entering the palace was introduced by eunuchs, and there were people talking all the way, and the voice spread far away, until the imperial study room was reached, and the warmth inside spread out from the open door.
"Please protect the country, sir, please...girl." The chief eunuch glanced at Lin Tinger, and almost no one noticed the hesitation in his words.
When the three of them entered the palace, although the emperor felt a little depressed when he saw Lin Su, he couldn't help but sigh that his appearance and bearing were really good. He had many princes, but no one could beat him just by his bearing.
When he saw Lin Ting'er, his expression froze for a rare moment.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty." The three of them knelt down and saluted, which allowed him to adjust his expressions in time.
"Protecting the country is fair." Emperor Ming Cheng got up, walked around the imperial table and helped him up, "I have come from a long way, and the journey has been hard."
"Your Majesty is fit, so I don't feel hard work." Father Lin replied in a well-mannered manner.
"There is no war in the left and right southwest. Since I have come to Beijing, I will stay for a longer time." Emperor Ming Cheng supported Lin's father's arm, looked at Lin Su and said, "This is your son, he is indeed a good-looking talent. Thinking about contributing a lot to the victory in the Southwest War, Lord Huguo taught his son well."
"Your son is indeed talented in military affairs, and I am very happy to have successors." Father Lin said.
What he is most proud of now is his son. Although his wife said that he should be humble, but it is fine for him to be modest, he just wants to show off his son.
He wanted to raise his son to waste, but in the end, one of his sons was better than the whole litter of the emperor. Now he can't settle the score, and it's okay to die of anger first.
Ming Chengdi was really upset in his heart, but he could only smile and said: "It's good to be happy, I heard that both of your sons and daughters are not married yet, so are you optimistic about them?"
"The son is not optimistic about it yet, but the daughter is. It's up to His Majesty to decide." Father Lin said.
"Oh, I don't know which family's son it is. If you really like it, I will marry you." Emperor Ming Cheng glanced at Lin Ting'er.
Although this girl did not have a good birth, it would be beneficial to him if she married into the capital, Duke Hu is showing weakness.
Father Lin coughed: "It's not from another family, it's His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince."
The corner of Emperor Ming Cheng's mouth was flattened for a moment, but it was raised again when Father Lin looked over: "Ting'er likes the prince?"
If the land in the southwest supports the crown prince, then the position of the East Palace will only be more stable, but Tang'er is not in good health, marrying him is much more reassuring than marrying anyone else.
"The prince was born very well, Ting'er fell in love at first sight." Lin Ting'er said, "I only want to marry him in this life."
"Tang'er does not have a crown prince now, but he is a crown prince, and at this time he also pays attention to the pleasing relationship between two people. I still have to ask his opinion." Ming Chengdi felt a headache when he saw her like that.
Naturally, the father should not be too arbitrary. If the crown prince refused desperately, Emperor Ming Cheng would not be able to force him.
"Your Majesty just ask." Lin Ting'er said.
The prince praised her for her good looks when he first saw her, so he must succeed.
Emperor Ming Cheng immediately summoned Xiao Tang, the people came, but they were carried. He was not wearing court clothes, although he was wearing a cloak, but his figure was thinner than the day when we first met him, his lips were white and frightening, his face was But it was reddish, and when he knelt down, his eyes were full of exhaustion, as if he had difficulty even breathing.
"I pay homage to my father, I don't know why my father, Xuan Erchen, came here?" Xiao Tangqiang asked energetically.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Ming Cheng saw that he was really in a bad state.
"It's just a bit of wind and cold, it's not a hindrance." Xiao Tang glanced at Lin Su and the three of them from the corner of his eyes. He knew that Duke Hu would come to the palace to see him today, but he didn't know why he would.
