"Your Majesty! Isn't it inappropriate for you, a junior, to come to my grandfather to discuss a major marriage matter?"
"Everyone says that marriage is an important matter, the parents' orders, the matchmaker's words! You come here so rashly, ignoring my Daxia etiquette! That is disrespectful to my elders, Tao!"
Tao Shihan looked at Wang Lin and followed him in a deep voice.
Her words made Tao Guogong on the side nod with satisfaction.
The already proud head was raised even higher.
Especially those eyes, looking silently at Wang Lin below.
It seemed that he was waiting for him to retreat.
but.
They were quickly disappointed.
They still don't know who they are facing.
After Wang Lin heard Tao Shihan's words, he knew that these two people were deliberately trying to embarrass him.
However, this kind of trick is child's play for him.
"Prince Lin! I think you should go back first! Wait for the emperor to make arrangements! Don't rush this matter! It's disrespectful!"
Seeing that Wang Lin had nothing to say, Tao Shihan thought she had won, so she hurriedly pursued the victory.
"Miss Tao, I came here today because I saw an auspicious day in the zodiac and chose today specially! Moreover, the gifts I brought and the rituals along the way were all done in accordance with the etiquette of my Daxia! There is nothing wrong with this. That’s right!”
Wang Lin looked at Tao Shihan, smiled and then said: "All of this can be checked in the ledger!"
"you……"
Tao Shihan was speechless after hearing what Wang Lin said.
She also checked the things Wang Lin brought, and it was true what he said.
In this way, the disrespect she just said was self-defeating.
Who would spend tens of thousands of taels of silver just to make a joke?
If this spreads out, wouldn't it become a matter of nitpicking?
"Prince Lin, there is indeed something wrong with this. After all, we are married by the Emperor. If you are so arrogant, if word reaches the Emperor, I am afraid there will be criticism!"
Seeing that his granddaughter was defeated, Tao Guogong coughed dryly and continued.
"Tao Guogong, I am the prince, what is wrong with this! If you invite the elders, my father is already gone! I will go there to find you! If you say this, then only my royal brother, today The emperor is here!"
After Wang Lin heard what Tao Guogong said, he frowned and made an analysis.
Tao Guogong looked at Wang Lin, who was frowning, and thought he was about to give up. He grinned and said, "In that case, please go back and discuss it later."
"Mr. Tao Guogong, it would be better to go like this. I will go back and discuss it with the emperor and ask him to come in person!"
Wang Lin found it difficult to do so. After a while, he clapped his hands and said excitedly.
When Tao Guogong heard Wang Lin's words, his face turned pale with fright.
It was he who proposed this marriage to the emperor.
There is no reason to let the emperor visit again.
If word of this got out, someone would have to break his spine.
"Prince Lin, no need! The Emperor takes care of everything on a day-to-day basis, so there is no need to alarm the Emperor with this matter!"
Tao Guogong came to his senses and waved hurriedly to Wang Lin.
That hand, if you look closely, has already started to move.
"Mr. Tao Guogong, how is this possible? Just now you kept saying that I don't understand etiquette. Now I have thought of a way, but I can't do it. What's the truth?"
Wang Lin was still more energetic at this time, spreading his hands with a look of confusion.
"Prince Lin, don't take it seriously! We just think it's inappropriate, but we can't let the emperor come! This is treason!"
Tao Guogong said quickly with a sad face.
"Okay then! I will obey Duke Tao!"
Wang Lin relaxed when he saw that the two of them had softened.
…
Just when Wang Lin and the Tao family's grandfather and grandson were coming and going in the house.
Inside the palace city.
In the Kunning Palace on the west side of the back garden.
In the hall, Wang Chen looked at the queen silently and asked in a deep voice: "Please tell me clearly! Last night! Did you succeed?"
"Your Majesty... Aijia..."
The queen looked at the majestic emperor with her heart beating like a drum.
She didn't dare lie in front of Wang Chen.
"If you don't tell the truth! I will destroy you!"
Wang Chen stared at the queen coldly, gritted his teeth and threatened.
"Your Majesty, no... no..."
In the end, the queen was still afraid and told the truth.
She remembered herself last night, but after being knocked unconscious, she couldn't remember anything.
But after waking up, although she was naked, she knew very well that she failed last night.
"Humph, such a trivial matter is not appropriate!"
When Wang Chen heard the Queen telling the truth, he became furious, slapped the table, stood up and said, "Come here! Give me an audience with Prince Xuanlin!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The little eunuch at the door respectfully accepted the order and then hurriedly left.
Wang Chen watched the little eunuch leave and sat back angrily. Looking at the frightened queen whose beauty turned pale, he couldn't bear it. He waved to her and said, "Queen, don't panic! I don't mean to blame you. Come! Sit next to me." .”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The queen respectfully accepted the order, and then sat down carefully next to Wang Chen.
…
at this time.
Tao Guogong's house.
Wang Lin was discussing marriage matters with Tao Guogong in his study.
"Master! The emperor wants to summon Prince Lin!"
At this moment, the housekeeper hurried forward and reported respectfully.
Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat after hearing what the housekeeper said.
Oops, it couldn't be the emperor's brother who realized that he didn't perform the courtesy of Duke Zhou with the queen last night!
How come I discovered it so quickly? I made it perfectly!
No, I can't go by myself. If I go, I will inevitably be tied up by the imperial brother again.
I was lucky to escape the first time, but I'm afraid it will be difficult the second time.
"Prince Lin, I will send someone to take you there."
Tao Guogong did not doubt that he was there, looked at Wang Lin and said.
In fact, he had long wanted to ask Wang Lin to leave the house.
Every time he looked at him, Tao Guogong felt like he was selling his granddaughter, which made him extremely heartbroken.
"Tao Guogong, the emperor's summons this time should be to discuss the marriage between me and Miss Tao. Now it happens that my Duke is in the house, so let's go together!"
Wang Lin was still thinking about what to do.
After hearing what Tao Guogong said, I couldn't help but think about it.
Isn't this a good shield?
If Tao Guogong follows him, even if the emperor has the intention, he will not be able to use it!
"This! Your Majesty didn't summon your prince!"
After hearing Wang Lin's words, Tao Guogong frowned and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty doesn't summon my Duke. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to go so rashly?"
"What's wrong with this? The marriage between me and Miss Tao is a big deal. Your Majesty just knew that I was in your Tao Mansion, so he wouldn't call me Duke. Just go with me!"
Wang Lin smiled and waved his hands. He was determined to use this shield.
