Lin Ping looked at Zhang Yan calmly, thinking that he had heard wrongly, until Gao Qiqian on the side slapped him hard, and he finally realized what he said.
"Why don't you thank the Queen quickly!"
Gao Qiqian yelled at Lin Ping'an, looking like he hated iron.
"The Queen personally granted the marriage, what an honor this is?
Lin Ping'an, this silly boy, was actually indifferent. It seemed that he was still a child. "
Gao Qiqian thought to himself, blinking hard at Lin Pingan.
Lin Pingan was very puzzled, thinking that I am still a minor, what is Zhang Ma doing?
Zhang Yan saw Lin Ping'an and didn't respond for a long time. She blinked her black and white eyes and asked strangely:
"Isn't Dean Xiaolin unwilling?"
Lin Pingan hurriedly bowed to Zhang Yan and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. It's just that I'm not yet an adult, so it's too early to talk about marriage."
Hearing this, Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled sweetly and said:
"Thirteen is not young anymore. I see that you have no relatives in this capital, and I am willing to accept you as my younger brother. How about letting me, my sister, make the final decision on your marriage?"
Gao Qiqian on the side was shocked when he heard this, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
The queen actually wants to recognize Lin Ping'an as her younger brother. What's going on?
He looked at Lin Ping'an in surprise, and suddenly felt that the other party was a little unpredictable.
"Where did this kid come from? He was able to win the Queen's favor. Is it just because he cured the Queen's disease?"
Thinking of this, he shook his head in his mind, feeling that this possibility was extremely slim.
"Then why?"
He asked himself again in his mind, but he couldn't find the answer. He could only look at the scene in front of him with confusion and surprise.
Lin Ping'an was obviously a little confused. Zhang Yan wanted to take care of his marriage and recognize him as his younger brother, so he couldn't adapt to it for a while.
What on earth does Zhang Yan want to do?
Lin Ping'an always felt that there must be a demon when something went wrong. Faced with Zhang Yan's sudden enthusiasm, he immediately had a suspicion in his heart.
Gao Qiqian was also a good person. When he saw Lin Pingan was in a daze again, he reached out and patted Lin Pingan again and shouted:
"Dean Xiaolin, are you overjoyed?"
After saying this, he winked at Lin Ping'an again.
So Lin Ping'an reacted again. He bowed to Zhang Yan again and said:
"Thank you so much, Madam."
This sentence obviously dissatisfied Zhang Yan. She had a pretty face and said slightly angrily: "Why are you still calling me empress?"
Lin Ping'an reacted very quickly this time. He hurriedly shouted to Zhang Yan: "Ping'an thanks sister!"
Zhang Yan then turned her anger into joy, turned to Gao Qiqian and said:
"Go and pay attention to which daughter of an important family in the imperial court is of the same age as my younger brother. Report the list to this palace, and I will select them one by one."
Gao Qiqian was just about to accept the order, but he saw Lin Pingan waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"Eunuch Gao doesn't need to worry about this matter. Let's wait and discuss this matter."
Hearing this, Zhang Yan frowned and asked, "Do you already have a candidate in mind?"
After saying this, she patted her forehead as if enlightened, and said with a dumb smile:
"I have forgotten about your sister Yunshu."
She looked at Lin Pingan and asked with a half-smile:
"Tell me, sister, are you thinking about Miss Yun Shu? If that's the case, how about your sister marrying you?"
Lin Pingan was really dumbfounded. To be honest, he had never considered this kind of thing at all. There was indeed Sylvia Lin in the family, and there was a new Liu Rushi in the family, but these two girls were still young, and he was only thirteen years old. , how could anyone get married at such a young age?
This is really hard for him, a modern time traveler, to accept!
But this is the Ming Dynasty. In this era, marrying a wife at the age of thirteen does not seem to be a novelty.
Seeing Lin Pingan's expression of embarrassment, Zhang Yan couldn't help but smile and said:
"Giving marriage does not mean that we will get married immediately. With your current reputation, I am afraid that many people will come to propose marriage in a short time. Think about this matter carefully and tell your sister when you have thought about it. After all, you have no other relatives. , Sister has to take this responsibility."
Zhang Yan probably also felt that it was a bit abrupt to mention this matter suddenly at this moment, so she calmed down her tone.
In her heart, since Lin Pingan is a Tianmai person, she must draw the other person to her side no matter what, so she simply recognizes Lin Pingan as her younger brother at this moment.
Lin Ping'an naturally knew nothing about Zhang Yan's thoughts, but he had always had a good impression of the Empress of the Ming Dynasty. It could even be said that he had a feeling of reverence. Today, he was recognized as his younger brother by the empress, although it was a bit inexplicable. , but my heart is extremely happy.
He bowed to Zhang Yan again and said:
"Ping An's father died early, his mother's whereabouts are unknown, and his sister also died tragically at the hands of Huang Taiji. He is alone in this world. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is lonely. I don't want my empress to take pity on me today and recognize me as her younger brother. Ping An is extremely grateful."
Zhang Yan was as beautiful as a flower, gentle and generous, and she really gave Lin Ping'an a feeling of family. At this moment, when he thought about his life experience, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, his voice was choked, and there was a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes.
Zhang Yan stepped forward and took Lin Pingan's hand, and said softly:
"Sister is also very bored in this palace. You might as well come and sit here often when you have time, and you can also bring Miss Yun Shu with you."
Lin Ping'an was a little moved. He nodded, but in his mind he remembered the ending of the Empress of Ming Dynasty in history, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face involuntarily.
Zhang Yan looked at the trace of sadness in Lin Pingan's eyes with some astonishment. It was difficult for her to understand that such a vicissitudes of life would show in the eyes of a thirteen-year-old boy, but Lin Pingan's slightly sad words came to her ears. sound:
"If life is just like the first time we met, why should the autumn wind draw a fan sadly?"
These two sentences came from Lin Ping'an's heart. Today, Zhang Yan is in her golden years. Who would have thought that this magnificent queen would end up in such a miserable ending.
It was already the third year of Tianqi. Lin Ping'an remembered clearly that Emperor Zhu Youxiao passed away in the seventh year of Tianqi, which meant that Zhang Yan in front of her would become the lonely Queen Yi'an four years later.
Zhang Yan was only twenty years old at that time.
Twenty years old is the age when a woman blooms like a flower, but Zhang Yan had to guard the Qing palace alone, lonely and lonely, until the Ming Dynasty finally fell and hanged herself. Such a fate is really sad.
So at this moment, Lin Ping'an opened his mouth and involuntarily said this famous sentence through the ages.
However, it was difficult for Zhang Yan to understand the meaning behind Lin Ping'an's words. She just tasted these two lines of poetry carefully, and suddenly realized that the artistic conception was profound, beautiful and sad, which made people feel a little melancholy in their hearts.
"Is this for my sister?"
She asked Lin Ping'an, "Why are there only two sentences?"
Only then did Lin Ping'an come back to his senses. He scratched his head and said with a smile:
"On a whim, Ping An said a few random sentences, but he didn't remember the rest of the sentence."
Yes, if life could only be like the first time we met, if Zhang Yan could be as beautiful as he sees now for the rest of her life, that would be a wonderful thing.
So he looked at Zhang Yan's beautiful face and said seriously:
"Ping An wants my sister to be like today for the rest of her life. With Ping An around, she will protect her for the rest of her life!"
After saying this, he bowed to Zhang Yan and turned away.
Zhang Yan looked at Lin Pingan's back and was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why Lin Pingan suddenly said such a sentence.
"Is it because of Hakka and Wei Zhongxian?"
She murmured in her mouth, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, and she suddenly understood.
Although she was a queen, she was supposed to be the head of the harem, but Zhu Youxiao doted on the Hakka family, and the Hakka family was even more arrogant and did not pay attention to her as a queen at all.
What's more, Hakka and Wei Zhongxian colluded with each other, so much so that they secretly had someone manipulate her during her pregnancy, resulting in her stillbirth and miscarriage.
Zhang Yan knew this in her heart, but she had no choice but to bury this hatred deep in her heart.
So Lin Ping'an's words just now were clearly telling her that from now on, he will definitely protect his sister and will not let himself be hurt by others again.
"Keep me safe!"
Zhang Yan murmured in her mouth, feeling infinitely moved in her heart, and there was also a trace of moisture in the corners of her eyes.
