Chapter 285 The Heroine’s Sister-in-law in Exile 58
At that time, Lin Zhi received the invitation from the Queen and took Liu Yang into the palace to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet. She and a group of ladies and ladies enjoyed the flowers in the Imperial Garden, smiling and speaking politely. In other words, the scene was harmonious.
Until a concubine saw her finishing chatting with the queen, she smiled and asked about Liu Yang's marriage and whether it was a match.
Liu Yang immediately lowered his head in embarrassment and became restless.
Ling Zhi smiled and said no, it was originally agreed, but when something happened to the Liu family, the family broke off the engagement. The ladies quickly talked about the young talents they knew. Some mentioned their parents' family, and one even mentioned the prince.
Liu Yang's face was so red that he almost hid behind his sister-in-law.
Ling Zhi said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will discuss it together when her brother comes back." Regarding the man's character, Liu Yang and his two brothers need to get in touch with each other, otherwise they will make a mistake in confusion, and Liu Yang will be so A good girl, she can't bear to be bullied.
Everyone thought about it and said they would wait until Liu Jing came back.
A woman looked worried. After she broke off her engagement with Liu Yang, the man got engaged to her. She had always liked her fiancé and was looking forward to getting married as soon as possible. But now that the Liu family has been rehabilitated, Liu Jing also Liu Yang, who was originally inferior to her, became Miss Jiao again.
Even the queen and concubines had to marry her.
But Linzhi actually didn't even like the prince, and couldn't help but said: "Miss Liu has been delayed for two years. She is getting older. If you delay her any longer, a good man will be taken away. Now that you have ladies to help, you might as well take the opportunity to choose a good one." It's good for you. There is also the Second Young Madam, there are always people in Beijing. There are rumors that you have a child."
She frowned and said, "I don't know who spread the rumors to ruin your reputation. The Queen and other empresses are here today, so you'd better take this opportunity to clarify. .”
The whole room was silent.
Everyone couldn't help but look over, who is this idiot who is so indifferent?
Although many of them were curious about Linzhi's child and had discussed it several times in private, no one would ask it in public without the knowledge. What's more, he actually lectured Liu Yang and Lin in a lecturing tone, who do you think he is?
After looking at her for a long time, she recognized that she was the girl that the man remarried after breaking off Liu Yang's marriage.
For a moment, his expression was hard to describe.
Is this girl a fool?
They all looked at Lin Zhi, guessing her reaction.
Liu Yang had just been embarrassed by the concubines, but now he said to the woman with a serious face: "Mingzhu is a child of my Liu family. How can I ruin my reputation? Girl, be careful!"
Only then did Min Qing realize that she had said the wrong thing in excitement, but she didn't want to bow her head in front of Liu Yang, so she frowned and said, "I'm just curious, is it not allowed to talk about this matter?"
Liu Yang More to say.
Ling Zhi stopped her and said to Min Qing with a smile: "Of course, Mingzhu is my daughter, my biological child."
Min Qing immediately asked: "Where is the child's father? Yes. Who? The second son of the Liu family is dead, and how did the second young lady come to live with others..."
"Miss Min!"
The Queen shouted to stop, with a stern expression on her face, "This is Mrs. Lin's private matter. Is it your turn to be an outsider to take care of it? And the girl's family is so ignorant of propriety. Is this what the Min family taught you?"
Min Qing turned pale, bit her lip, and thought When she tried to defend herself, her mother quickly covered her mouth, dragged her to her knees in the center of the hall, and kowtowed: "Queen, my wife failed to educate her daughter well. She must be disciplined in the future. Please go by, my wife, the second young lady, and Miss Liu." She came back." Begging for mercy from Lin Zhi and Liu Yang.
The queen then looked at Lin Zhi and saw that she had no expression on her face, and Liu Yang also had an ugly expression on her face, so she said: "If you speak so openly, I will punish you by being banned from speaking for three months, and you will not speak again until you know your mistake."< br>
Min Qing's eyes widened and a thunderbolt struck her, but Mrs. Min was afraid that she would cause trouble again, so she quickly kowtowed to thank her and accepted the punishment.
Take your daughter back to the dining room. The atmosphere in the Royal Garden was restored again, with everyone laughing and talking, and there was a lot of laughter.
At this time, a eunuch suddenly came in from outside in a hurry with a happy face.
The dress looks like someone from the former emperor’s side.
The queen quickly asked what happened, and the eunuch looked ecstatic: "Empress, great victory at the border pass, General Liu recovered Yanguan, and the Huns were driven out of the Zhou Dynasty. In addition, the Huns were defeated again with an army of 30,000 people. The army was wiped out and fled in panic!"
"Really?"
"It's absolutely true!"
The queen was pleasantly surprised. The other concubines and the ladies at the Hundred Flowers Banquet were also full of joy, stroking their chests and looking happy. Da Zhou was finally free from worries.
"In addition, the eight sons of the King of the Xiongnu were all deposed by the spies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now there is no normal heir."
The queen was surprised: "Could it be that Liu Jing did this too? ?" sighed, "This guy is really good."
The eunuch shook his head vigorously: "It's not General Liu, it's Liu Zong."
"He is not dead. According to the memorial submitted by Major General Liu, he was able to take back the captured city so quickly. It was his second brother who went deep into the enemy camp to find out the news. The two of them cooperated with each other inside and outside, and then he was able to get the city back. The Xiongnu drove away and recaptured Yanguan, making the Zhou Dynasty victorious."
" Now he assassinated the second prince, returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and obtained the Xiongnu formation map."
"The two asked Your Majesty if they would pursue the victory and invade the Xiongnu Dynasty and completely destroy it." After that, the queen hurriedly viewed the reward, and the little eunuch left with a smile and returned to the previous court.
Everyone in the Royal Garden was stunned. It took a long time to say: "Liu Zong is not dead?"
"Didn't you say that something happened with Mr. Liu at that time? Why?"< br>
They all looked at Lin Zhi and Liu Yang, only to see Liu Yang with a dull look on his face. It was obviously the first time he heard about it, so he was no less surprised than them. Lin Zhi, on the other hand, didn't look too surprised.
The queen couldn't help but ask: "Mrs. Lin Er, did you know that Liu Zong was still alive?"
Liu Yang turned his head and stared at Lin Zhi: "Second sister-in-law..." She looked excited, looking forward to her answer.
Lin Zhi nodded: "Didn't Miss Min ask me just now who the child is?" She looked at Min Qing, who suddenly raised her head like everyone else, with a shocked face, and smiled slightly, "I only have one husband-in-law. , naturally it’s his.”
Those speculations that she was living with others, and even said that the child was Liu Jing’s, made her hold her breath for a long time, and now she finally said it openly.
My heart felt happy.
Everyone was surprised and asked subconsciously: "But didn't Liu Zong get into trouble at the border? Could it be that you..." Thinking that Liu Zong went to the Huns, they guessed that the two must have met at the border and then had a child. .
Liu Yang also thought of it and grabbed Lin Zhi's hand: "So, the person you were looking for, second sister-in-law, was always your second brother!"
Lin Zhi nodded and explained to her, and at the same time Make it clear to everyone: “I didn’t know he was still alive at the time, but I had some hope, so after arriving at the border, I went to various mountains to look for people, and finally found your second brother, but he was seriously injured and only had half his life left. It took a lot of effort to save him. ”
