Lin Xi:......
The way these two people looked at her seemed a bit off.
As the most favored daughter of the late emperor, Princess Pingning had been wantonly arrogant for many years. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, being a younger sister is naturally far less satisfying than being a daughter.
Her power was no longer what it used to be, so she deliberately made friends with her brother's successor.
The queen has no children, and although the prince bears her name, he is not the same as his biological child, and he does not even have the affection to raise her with his own hands.
In order to stand firmer, the queen readily accepted Princess Pingning's overtures.
The two royal sisters have supported each other in the past few years and have become very close.
The queen seemed to have finally noticed it, and before she asked anyone to get up, she smiled and said, "Get up and sit down. You look like such a delicate daughter, but you really can't tell that you are good at shooting." As if she thought of something, her tone became more affectionate. , asked: "You are of young age, are you married to someone else?"
The author has something to say:
good afternoon
Chapter 11
◎Palace Banquet◎
Lin Xi sighed inwardly.
Your grandpa’s, do I look like a fool?
Seeing that she remained silent, Princess Pingning's smile did not reach her eyes: "If a girl's parents do not want to marry her when she is seventeen years old, she will be married to a senior official. You are already sixteen years old, not a child."
Lin Xi:......
Listen to this, I'm obviously still a baby!
I haven't enjoyed this blessing for a few months, but you can't wait to push me into the fire pit?
Princess Pingning persuaded the queen to marry Lin Xi to the prince, not out of kindness.
As a royal princess, she only raised a few faces, which were nothing compared to the prince.
Although Lin Xi looks good. It's just that the prince always likes the new and hates the old, and there are many beauties in the backyard, and many of them are not good-looking.
Someone will teach her the rules then.
In less than two years, when Lin Xi sees her as a princess, she will be submissive and will no longer be arrogant.
Lin Xi raised his head slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess, but my uncle sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that he has helped me find a husband. Of course, I completely rely on him to make the decision."
The baby is as spermy as a monkey!
To put it bluntly, her wealth is not due to her own abilities, nor is it due to marrying well.
And the elders in the family have the ability to earn it!
So even when facing the queen, you only need to be perfunctory on the surface, and you don't need to be obedient in everything.
After all, I don’t ask you for anything. If you have something to say, you don’t dare to kill me casually, right?
If these two people want to mess with her, why not ask her uncle's knife first if it's strong and if it curls the edge when cutting people!
When the two people opposite heard what she said, they both looked startled.
Naturally, they did not dare to offend the thief who had great military exploits and killed many people.
What's more, the British Duke is very favored by His Majesty, and his achievements are so great that the Lord is not surprised!
At this time, someone from the palace informed that Mrs. Xiao came to see her with her daughter.
Families that have existed for centuries often intermarry and form alliances to consolidate their respective powers.
Mrs. Xiao Cui Weiran is the queen's cousin. As the legitimate daughter of Cui's family, she married the late queen's brother more than ten years ago. Today, Xiao Chunhe, the Minister of Household Affairs, also has a second-grade imperial title.
In the eyes of the queen, this cousin was different from others, so she hurriedly asked the palace maid to bring him in.
Cui Weiran came in with her daughter Xiao Wenyu. After seeing the ceremony, she turned around to see Lin Xi and said hello with a smile, "Miss Lin is here too."
As soon as she came in, she broke the delicate atmosphere in the room just now, and Princess Pingning could no longer put on airs.
Lin Xi: "I have met Mrs. Xiao. She looks good. She must be in good health and everything goes well."
Cui Weiran's eyes were full of meaning: "I accept your blessing." After a pause, she said to her daughter next to her, "You and Lin Xi go to the garden for a walk, so that the Queen and I can talk quietly for a while."
Seeing what she said, the queen couldn't keep anyone else around and waved them out.
"Wen Yu. Take the girl from the Lin family to the Royal Garden for a stroll."
Lin Xi knew in her heart that Mrs. Xiao accepted her sentiments and spoke out to rescue her. After saluting, she turned around and walked out.
The queen admired her very much. Her cousin had been steady and dignified since she was a child, and she was a model for women from aristocratic families.
A few days ago, her husband was assassinated and seriously injured, and the whole court was shocked. However, Cui Weiran remained calm and held up the door lintel alone.
Today there is no clue at all.
The queen thought for a while, if it were her, she would definitely not be able to do this.
She felt quite emotional in her heart, and she had absolutely no idea that the assassin was sent by Cui Weiran...
——
The raised eaves of the palace reflect the sunlight, making it majestic and solemn.
People in the palace are coming and going in a hurry, and they are all busy for today's Buddha Bathing Festival.
The female relatives of each family were waiting in the side hall. The imperial garden was very quiet, with only the faint sound of chanting coming from the distant hall.
Xiao Wenyu sighed inaudibly: "You must have heard about what happened in my house recently. I really don't know what to do."
My father was seriously injured in an assassination attempt, but my mother acted as if nothing had happened.
Lin Xi is admiring the royal garden. After a few steps, the scenery will change. It is really beautiful.
She turned her head and asked, "Are you worried that something will happen to your father?"
Xiao Wenyu nodded and shook his head.
As a child, it is natural to care about your parents. However, over the years, her father has been quite cold towards her. He ignored her when she was young, and became even more estranged as she grew older.
She is more uneasy because she is not adaptable to the recent mutation.
Lin Xi patted her shoulder: "Don't think too much, the most important thing is to be happy. You are so beautiful and so rich."
Xiao Wenyu: "..."
Although Lin Xi was not very good at understanding people, at this moment, she seemed to be really comforted.
Compared to many people in the world, she is already lucky.
For some reason, she felt that Lin Xi had a very firm aura that was more reassuring than a man.
There was a sound of footsteps ahead
The palace officials led the officials' male relatives and the children of aristocratic families to the Tai Chi Hall to see the ceremony.
His Royal Highness the Prince is a cousin, and in order to win over people's hearts, he personally leads the way.
Seeing someone in the garden, the family members all looked over.
Xiao Wenyu was shy, covered half of her face with a cattail leaf fan, and took a step back.
Lin Xi didn't take it seriously and looked back at him openly.
Tsk, these people are prosperous now, but when the emperor dies in three years, they will most likely be doomed.
Some were beheaded, some were Lingchi, and some had nine tribes wiped out.
Today, I only have three sons.
The prince was mediocre and lustful, while King Duan was smart but fond of luxury. He devoted all his attention to plundering the people's wealth and anointing him. Not only did he spend tens of thousands of dollars a day, but he also committed the absurd act of threading a copper plate with silk thread and circling his horse farm ten times.
There is still a need for comparison. It is normal to compare Zhong Xiao with his two brothers.
After all, he is just unkind and cruel...
"The one in white is Miss Lin. I'm right. Her temperament is very pure." A man whispered.
After saying this, everyone focused their attention on Lin Xi.
The woman in front of her was beautiful, with eyes as cold as frost, like a fairy in a painting.
Because it is right in front of you, there is no sense of distance like a fairy, it is more like an extremely cool and within reach dream.
His Highness the Crown Prince stopped, his eyes a bit amazed.
Yesterday he went to the Queen's Palace, and Princess Pingning suggested that he bring the British Duke's niece into the East Palace and promise her the position of concubine.
At that time, he didn't care much. The daughter of a military general's family lacked some tenderness.
In order to consolidate his power, the prince did not care about the number of people in his backyard.
I was quite surprised when I saw it today. There are all kinds of beauties in his backyard, but I have never seen this one before.
Immediately, I felt that Princess Pingning's proposal was very good.
Lin Xi's eyes looked around and finally stopped on Lu Yan.
He was not among the people who met a miserable end in the dream.
It's just that... as soon as his thoughts changed, Lin Xi's eyes showed a bit of resentment.
Thinking of Princess Pingning's attack today, she felt more and more that the five taels of silver he gave her that day was too little!
This person, this face, doesn't look like he's only worth this little money. She suffered a huge loss.
To be fair, although Princess Pingning is domineering, she is in her prime and beautiful. If Lu Yan is willing to accept the princess, he will take the many rewards given by the princess and compensate him later.
That would be great!
But she could only think that if he was so loyal, he would definitely not agree. Lin Xi regretfully looked away and walked forward faster.
Everyone looked at Lu Yan.
They were surprised to find that Miss Lin, who was as cold as a fairy, looked like nothing to everyone else, but when she focused on Lu Yan, she had many subtle emotions.
