…
Outside the palace.
Many members of the aristocratic family looked at me and I looked at you, all with anxious expressions on their faces.
A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the eighth prince, and he said in a deep voice: "Why are you panicking! The queen has always loved the third sister, and she will definitely not agree to her father marrying her to Lin Xi."
After hearing this, everyone was shocked and hurriedly came forward.
"Eighth Prince, we naturally know that the empress wants to come and love the third princess, but after all, the Holy Spirit has issued the decree, can this matter still be postponed?"
Another person then said: "Yes, your Majesty is the Emperor of Great Xia after all, and he has a golden tongue. Now this matter has caused a stir in the city, and the imperial edict has reached Prince Liang's palace. Is it possible that the empress can still make your majesty take back the imperial edict?"
When the Eighth Prince heard this, he glanced at everyone with a disdainful look and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with that?"
"Who doesn't know that the queen has always made the final decision regarding matters in the harem? As long as the mother and queen do not agree to the marriage of the princes and princesses, it is not finalized."
As he said that, Lao Ba had an evil smile on his lips and looked at everyone coldly: "Otherwise, why do you think His Highness brought you here?"
After hearing this, all the family members felt relieved and quickly said, "Even so, we will have to rely on His Highness the Eighth Prince."
Another person then said: "Yes, the Queen has no children and has always been very fond of you. As long as you speak, the Queen will consider it carefully."
Others also gathered around, chattering and guarding Lao Ba, and began to brag wildly.
Lao Ba suddenly felt a little carried away and turned his head with a hint of pride, but he saw the girl in white named Ruoruo looking towards the palace nervously, as if she had something on her mind.
On the side, Zhao Lian'er, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the second-rank military general of the day, Zhao Zhiming's legitimate daughter, pouted her mouth with jealousy, picked up a riding whip, and angrily bumped into Yan Ruoruo.
"Ruoruo, why are you so interested in Lin Xi?"
"As far as this girl knows, you don't seem to have any interaction with him, right?"
Yan Ruoruo's face turned red, and she denied shyly: "No way, I'm not worried about him anymore!"
Zhao Lian'er curled her little lips, came forward with a little playfulness, hugged Yan Ruoruo's shoulders, and muttered something.
After hearing this, Yan Ruoruo blushed with embarrassment and looked angry, and the two women immediately started fighting together.
Seeing this scene, Lao Ba's eyes lit up, and he was about to get closer, but unexpectedly, Lin Xi walked out carelessly, put his little hands on his hips, pouted his little mouth, and gave a sharp shout.
"Where's Mr. Hong, you bastard! Where did he die!"
"Get out of here, my prince!"
With a sharp shout, the whole place fell into silence.
Everyone present was stunned and exclaimed in their hearts, "Good guy, this is the harem, you shout so loudly, aren't you afraid that your Majesty will punish you?"
But what everyone didn't expect was that Emperor Tianqi walked out of the palace with a calm face, put his hands in his sleeves, and said to the guards in a cold voice: "Hong Lun privately criticized the King of Beiliang, and he deserves to be punished for his crime. I miss him." If he is old, leave him a whole body and give him a foot of red."
After hearing this, the guard quickly bowed: "No!"
"Boom~!~" There was a loud sound.
Everyone's heads were buzzing, and they called out in their hearts: What a good guy, one of the great eunuchs of the Thirteen Palms of the Inner Court, is he to die like this?
At this moment, everyone was stunned and sweating profusely.
The eighth prince's legs shook and he almost collapsed to the ground.
When he came back to his senses, he shouted loudly.
"Father, you can't!"
"Hong Diao Temple has served my royal family for more than a decade, how can he be executed for such a trivial matter? Father, please think twice!"
When Emperor Tianqi heard this, his eyes narrowed and he looked over with cold eyes.
"How about I pass the throne to you now and you take over this family?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was so frightened that they fell to their knees and their pants were soaked.
The Eighth Prince's legs went weak and he almost missed the attack. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed with his head.
"Father, I don't dare to have such thoughts. Please please calm down. Father, please calm down. I know my sin. I know my sin!"
A few "bang bang bang" sounds.
Blood instantly stained the ground red.
Seeing this scene, everyone was not shocked at all, and they all retreated silently, for fear of being implicated.
You must know that this emperor not only set a precedent for killing civil servants, he also killed princes.
Everyone says that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, but in front of this master, except for the one in the dormitory, no one can't eat it!
Lao Ba was so frightened that he was sweating, trembling, and his head was broken, but Tianqi just glanced at him, as if he hadn't seen him, turned around and faced Lin Xi and said with a smile: "How are you, nephew?" ?Are you satisfied now?"
Lin Xi immediately smiled apologetically, bent down and said, "Oh, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am extremely grateful, but I am scared, scared."
Emperor Tianqi's mouth trembled when he heard this, and he felt very frightened. I look at you like this, why don't you look scared at all?
at this time.
The queen suddenly walked out wearing a phoenix robe and a jade crown on her long legs, and said softly: "Baby, stop knocking."
The eighth prince was excited when he heard this and glanced at the emperor subconsciously.
Tianqi raised his eyebrows and waved his hand impatiently.
"Didn't you hear your mother's decree?"
As soon as these words came out, Lao Ba put his heart back into his stomach.
Seeing this, the queen sighed softly, turned around and looked at Lin Xi and said: "Xier, if you have time in the imperial capital, come to the palace often to see your aunt. Don't leave the palace without seeing anyone."
Seeing the two people's closeness, everyone almost stared out of their eyes.
Oh my god.
Didn’t everyone say that the Queen was unwilling to marry the third princess to Lin Xi?
Does this mean you don't want to?
Where do you people who say these things come from?
At this moment, everyone was confused.
…
I do not know how long it has been.
Under the escort of Tang Diao Temple, Lin Xi walked out of the palace carelessly, carrying a lot of items gifted by the queen.
Behind them, the mouth corners of many aristocratic families trembled slightly, and they were filled with unwillingness.
One of them gritted his teeth and said: "The third princess is so lively and cute, how come your majesty granted you marriage to Lin Xi!"
The others narrowed their eyes after hearing this, and they were all indignant.
As the apple of the emperor's eye, Xia Xixia was excellent in both status and appearance. She could be called the dream lover and perfect match for all the noble families in the imperial capital.
There was a solemn look in the eyes of the other person, and he frowned and said, "We can't just watch Xi Xia jump into the tiger's mouth. Let's go home and try our best to convince our families. We will find a way to disrupt this marriage in the morning tomorrow!"
The others' eyes lit up after hearing this, they looked at each other, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the kings will enter the capital in a few days. His Majesty is still counting on our major families to support him and help Zhongzhou win the competition. As long as We are of the same opinion and will not give in even to death, and His Majesty cannot act arbitrarily!"
As soon as these words came out, many aristocratic families looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some agreement.
The eighth prince saw this and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. This was the effect he wanted.
This beating was finally not in vain!
