"Lin Ping'an has met the queen sister."
Lin Ping'an saluted Zhang Yan, always feeling that the title was a bit awkward.
With a gentle smile on Zhang Yan's face, she waved to Lin Ping'an and asked him to sit opposite her, and then said with a smile:
"Your Majesty's marriage is a great joy. Although Lieutenant Fengguo is not of much use, the title can be hereditary. My sister is very happy about this."
To be honest, Lin Ping'an didn't know much about the title in ancient times. He was only thirteen years old now. He didn't even know which girl was carrying the child, let alone the hereditary matter.
Just seeing Zhang Yan so happy made him feel a little touched from the bottom of his heart.
So he scratched his head and said with some embarrassment:
"This is not what I want."
At that moment, he re-described what happened in Xian'an Palace that day. After hearing this, Zhang Yan couldn't help covering her mouth and smiled:
"So that's what happened, but why didn't you mention anyone else, but just mentioned the name of Miss Xiaoxiao?"
"Because I only know Sister Xiaoxiao. Besides, at that time, I thought that this matter was impossible anyway. I originally thought that it would be a difficult problem for the Hakka family to make their debut, but I didn't expect that the result would be like this."
Zhang Yan couldn't help frowning and scolding when she heard the word "Hakka" in Lin Ping'an's mouth:
"That's the Holy Lady. How can you call her by her name? If someone hears this, you will suffer the consequences!"
Lin Pingan shook his head indifferently, pointed at Gao Qiqian and said with a smile:
"Is the queen sister worried that Uncle Gao will tell the truth?"
Gao Qiqian was shot for no reason and rolled his eyes at Lin Pingan.
Zhang Yan shook her head helplessly and said again:
"I heard that Miss Xiaoxiao made a condition. This matter has gone viral in the capital. What do you think?"
"Oh, how can I beat Sister Xiaoxiao?"
When Lin Ping'an talked about this, he also wanted to laugh.
He spread his hands and said:
"Sister Xiaoxiao is just giving your Majesty some face. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to think of another way to get the best of both worlds."
Zhang Yan frowned slightly and said worriedly:
"But I heard that many people are laughing at you about this matter. Don't you care?"
Lin Ping'an shook his head repeatedly and said: "So what? As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed, and I won't feel embarrassed about it."
Seeing Lin Ping'an not caring so much, Zhang Yan couldn't help but glare at him and said angrily:
"How can my brother be laughed at like this!"
When Lin Ping'an heard this, he felt happy and secretly shouted in his heart:
"Yes, I am now the younger brother of the Empress of Ming Dynasty. If anyone laughs at me, wouldn't they be laughing at my sister, the Empress?"
So he looked embarrassed and said:
"But if others want to laugh, what can I do? Is it possible to cover their mouths?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan looked at Gao Qiqian, who immediately bowed and said with a complicated expression:
"This matter has not yet been reported to the empress. It is said that the night watchmen in the capital have been wandering around in the past few days. Whenever someone laughs at Dean Xiaolin, they will teach him a lesson. So at this moment, no one in the capital dares to talk about this matter in public. "
"Is this actually happening?"
Zhang Yan was also shocked when she heard this, then she covered her mouth and giggled:
"I didn't expect that Dean Hua loves his daughter so much that he would act like this!"
Lin Ping'an was also a little confused, and opened his mouth in surprise, but heard Gao Qiqian continue:
"Not only that, even the Jin Yiwei also sent out manpower. I heard that some people were arrested and sent to the Yamen for this purpose."
"Wei Zhongxian?"
Zhang Yan exclaimed in surprise: "Why did he come to join in the fun?"
Gao Qiqian quickly replied: "I heard that for this matter, he even went to the flower room to find the flower director."
Zhang Yan nodded slowly, pointed at Lin Pingan and smiled:
"I didn't expect that my younger brother would receive so much attention. It's really unexpected!"
"Sister Queen, why are you paying attention to me?"
Lin Ping'an shouted: "I must be afraid that Sister Xiaoxiao will look bad, so I did this."
"That's just one of the reasons."
Zhang Yan shook her head with a smile and said, "You and Xiaoxiao regard this as a child's play. I'm afraid that Dean Hua will have a headache for a long time."
Lin Ping'an didn't know what Zhang Yan meant by these words, and couldn't help but look shocked.
But I heard Zhang Yan continue to say:
"Do you think His Majesty's grant of marriage is just talk? Since he has issued the imperial edict, it means that there is already a marriage contract between you. Even if ten years pass, even if you cannot defeat Xiaoxiao, this marriage contract will still exist."
Lin Ping'an had never thought of this before. When Zhang Yan said this, he almost jumped up. He stammered and shouted:
"Wouldn't this delay Sister Xiaoxiao's life?"
Zhang Yan nodded slowly and said in a deep voice:
"If she doesn't marry you, you won't be able to marry anyone else."
"so serious?"
Lin Ping'an was stunned, and after a long while he asked weakly:
"Sister Queen, it seems that a man can have three wives and four concubines."
Zhang Yan glared at him angrily and shouted:
"Now that the engagement is in place, Xiaoxiao will be your legal wife. How can you have three wives and four concubines if you can't marry your legal wife?"
Lin Pingan understood now. He patted his forehead and shouted:
"Then this matter is very troublesome. It means that the flower director will have a headache over this."
Zhang Yan sighed secretly. She could probably guess now that the reason why Zhu Youxiao and Hua Fangfang agreed to this matter was entirely based on Lin Ping'an's identity as a Tianmai practitioner, but how it would end in the end was indeed Some are a headache.
So she carefully looked at Lin Pingan in front of her again, suddenly let out a chuckle, pointed at Lin Pingan and said:
"Perhaps this is all other people's troubles. Maybe Xiaoxiao girl will be defeated by you one day."
Lin Pingan scratched his head and said with a smile:
"Sister Queen, if you say something else, it might be possible, but if it's this, I'm afraid it's absolutely impossible!"
Lin Ping'an's words are absolutely correct. If you want to defeat Yan Xiaoxiao, it is simply a dream.
So he stopped continuing this topic and said to Zhang Yan:
"Sister Queen, does she know about the Bamboo Forest Academy?"
Zhang Yan nodded, "I have heard that you wrote a poem for Shi Fenglai at the poetry meeting the day before yesterday?"
"So the four great talents came to me today and wanted to ask me to be the dean of Zhulin Academy."
Lin Ping'an replied: "What does the queen sister think about this matter?"
When Zhang Yan heard this, a trace of surprise appeared on her face, her beautiful and slender eyebrows curved up, and she said in deep thought:
"I heard that the four great talents are all the sons of wealthy businessmen and are quite talented in the capital. They must want to imitate the Donglin Academy. The academy has been established for several years and is quite famous throughout the Ming Dynasty. Why do you have to be invited to take up the post? This dean?"
"It must be that Dean Xiaolin has outstanding poetic talent, and these people are not as conceited as they are, so they used the tiger skin of Dean Xiaolin as a banner."
Gao Qiqian on the side laughed.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Zhang Yan shook her head and said, "Ping An is only thirteen years old. Even though he is somewhat talented, he is not as talented as a few people."
"He must have seen that Dean Xiao Lin was awarded the title of Lieutenant of Fengguo and was granted a marriage by His Majesty himself, so he wanted to use Dean Xiao Lin's influence to strengthen the name of Zhulin Academy."
Gao Qiqian replied immediately.
Zhang Yan shook her head again and said slowly: "Those four people have rich families. If they want to cling to power, why do they need to find peace?"
Gao Qiqian scratched his head. According to what he said, he really couldn't figure out the reason for this.
Zhang Yan turned to look at Lin Ping'an and asked, "What do you think?"
"I want to create a different academy."
Lin Ping'an replied: "In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, the academy is more about learning natural science knowledge, so that those who learn it can become useful pillars of the Ming Dynasty, rather than just nerds who only know how to write poetry."
"Natural science knowledge?"
Zhang Yan repeated in her mouth, her beautiful eyes full of doubts, and she secretly thought in her heart: "Is this another magical power of the Heavenly Vein Master?"
Seeing Zhang Yan looking like this, Lin Ping'an smiled and said:
"Sister Queen, just watch. When the time comes, I will make this academy the most prestigious institution in the Ming Dynasty, and I will also cultivate many more useful talents in the Ming Dynasty."
He said this very calmly, but Zhang Yan was shocked when she heard it. She looked at the young man in front of her intently, and after a long time, she slowly nodded and said:
"My brother is young and has great ambitions. He will surely soar into the sky in the future. It is really my great fortune!"
...
After a while, Lin Pingan and Gao Qiqian walked out of Kunning Palace. Seeing Lin Pingan being a little silent, Gao Qiqian frowned and thought for a while, then said to Lin Pingan:
"If you are still worried about the engagement, you might as well ask the flower director. If he wants to have a grandson soon, he will definitely teach you how to defeat Miss Xiaoxiao."
