Chapter 395 Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 38
In the emperor’s palace, both Lin Zhi and the palace officials who heard these words fell silent.
How thick-skinned do you have to be to say such a thing?
Seeing her silence, Meng's eyes flashed: "Zhizhi, what do you think?" I think your mother wears one bra after another. She helped her daughter escape from the palace before, but now I see her She was favored by the emperor and wanted to come back.
As for the conversation between the two, Lin Xiruo remained silent, as if he was an outsider.
At this moment, someone from the palace came to report. When the time came, His Majesty asked Lin Zhi to go to the palace banquet. She looked at Meng and Lin Xiruo with a smile: "Mother, why don't we talk after the banquet?"
Mencius actually wanted them to show up I'll change back now, but I know I can't push Lin Zhi too hard, and there are palace people watching from outside, so I can only smile and say: "Okay, if I change back tonight, Zhizhi, you can go back to see Aunt Li later. "Finally, let's not forget to use Aunt Li to control Lin Zhi.
I thought Lin Zhi knew nothing and could still be used by her.
The smile on Lin Zhi's lips deepened, and then she was served by the palace servants and went into the inner room to tidy up her clothes. Meng and Lin Xiruo had no choice but to go out first and go to the palace banquet on their own.
Lv Rong looked at Lin Zhi in the palace: "Your Majesty, that Meng family is so whimsical. Your Majesty likes you, not Lin Xiruo. They dare to say such things." Her eyebrows stood up, "Lin They thought you didn’t know about the fire in the house.”
Except for Song Zi, no one in Cuiwei Palace knew about Aunt Li, and they thought she died in the fire.
Everyone feels more and more that the Lin family is ruthless and leaves no room for escape.
Ling Zhi looked in the mirror and held the golden phoenix hairpin on the side of her head: "That's all, let's go to the banquet first."
Out of the palace, the little eunuch led the way, and soon he came Seeing Xiao Yuan's sedan at the intersection, she got off the sedan and got on the emperor's sedan. Xiao Yuan asked her if she had met the Lin family? His eyes glanced at Lin Zhi's belly.
Ever since Lin Zhi said she might be pregnant, his reaction was very dull, and he only casually glanced at his belly from time to time.
Lin Zhi nodded and looked at him with a smile: "Your Majesty, guess what they said?"
Xiao Yuan squeezed her hand and hummed: "You don't need to care about what they said." Lin Zhi nodded, but smiled He said, "They see that Your Majesty treats me well and want me to exchange with the eldest sister. What does Your Majesty think?"
This is unexpected. To Xiao Yuan's surprise, his expression suddenly turned disgusting: "Let her go."
He could not remember what Lin Xiruo looked like. He only felt that the behavior of her and Mrs. Lin's family was really disgusting, and sneered: "The Lin family is just Qiu. The grasshoppers behind them will not live long." He looked at her and said, "Don't worry about them."
Lin Zhi smiled and nodded.
Soon they arrived in front of the banquet hall, and Xiao Yuan led her out of the sedan chair.
In the palace were the court ministers and wives who were attending the palace banquet tonight. Some of them were close to the door. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but open their eyes.
Ling Zhi chuckled: "Is it inappropriate for me to go in with Your Majesty like this?"
Xiao Yuan led her in and said casually: "What's wrong? They are holding back their dissatisfaction."
The two of them entered the palace. The ministers, their wives and their children knelt down and shouted, "Long live your Majesty." They came to Linzhi and said, "Greetings to the empress." The two of them sat down at the top. Linzhi's position was next to Xiao Yuan's lower position. It's almost like a queen.
All the ministers below understood that His Majesty wanted to make the daughter of the Lin family his queen.
Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Chen, who arrived earlier, both had their eyes wide open, and Concubine Zhang, who also had the opportunity to attend the palace banquet, squeezed her into the palm of her hand with disbelief and deep unwillingness.
The Lin family received the most attention. Lin Shangshu looked like an old fox, with nothing strange on his face. The eldest son Lin’s eyes were complicated. He had been close to his sister since he was a child. Lin Xiruo returned frequently after sneaking out of the palace. The family is close to the Meng family. He bumped into her and naturally recognized that she was his biological sister.
Looking at the woman sitting next to His Majesty, he saw this concubine for the first time. She had a gentle temperament. Although her appearance was somewhat similar to her sister, she could tell at a glance that they were different. At this moment, His Majesty and his Majesty are receiving the audience of the ministers. They look elegant and elegant, and there is no trace of petty arrogance at all.
He couldn't help but look at his sister, and saw her staring blankly ahead. Then her face sank, and humiliation flashed across her face.
With a sigh in his heart, he knelt down to his concubine. Even after he learned the truth, he could not calm down, not to mention that she was the one who should have enjoyed all this.
He thought to himself that before, he had secretly worked for Prince Rui according to his father's instructions, so that he could earn some merit in the future. Now, he can only go all the way to the end and continue to conspire with Prince Rui on big things. Unlike his father, who wanted to please both sides, he was more optimistic about King Rui becoming an emperor.
Various thoughts flashed through the hearts of the ministers below. Xiao Yuan asked them to stand up and everyone sat down again.
Mencius approached her daughter: "Now, are you still unwilling?"
Lin Xiruo pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, but Meng knew that she had heard it, so she stopped pressing her. Looking at her superiors, some ministers came forward to report on the major events of the year, such as the revenue from the national treasury, the harvest from the people, etc., and then Looking forward to the new year again.
This is a process before the annual palace banquet.
The emperor with a gloomy temperament didn't seem to be listening. The palace servant served the concubine some wine, but he glanced at it and took it away in a hurry, then replaced it with fruit drink. Seeing that the food on the table was good, he Let the palace servant put it in front of her.
The concubines on the palace concubines’ seats all stared with envy in their eyes.
The concubine seemed to be used to it. After smelling the fruit drink, she looked at him angrily. The two of them seemed to whisper something, and the corners of His Majesty's lips curled up.
Her eyes were deep, and she thought that this concubine was really capable. Everyone was afraid of His Majesty back then, and no concubine in the entire harem dared to approach him. However, she became favored not long after entering the palace.
Fortunately, she used Aunt Li to control her early, otherwise the concubine would have been rampant today.
Gotta change it back as soon as possible.
Ling Zhi felt all kinds of gazes on her body, with a smile on her lips. While enjoying Xiao Yuan's feeding, she looked down. Lin Xiruo's gaze was familiar to her. The other one was King Rui.
As a prince, he sat forward, holding the wine glass and looking at her with unclear meaning.
"Eat!"
Xiao Yuan's voice sounded as a dish was placed in front of him.
Ling Zhi turned around and saw him looking at her calmly: "He is so ugly, let's see what he does!"
Can the male protagonist be ugly? Lin Zhi didn't know what to say, but with the person in front of her When the men compared, they were both inferior in appearance and momentum. He smiled and said, "Of course, in my mind and body, Your Majesty is the most beautiful." Ji.
The ministers came forward to congratulate each other, and then there was singing and dancing. The atmosphere gradually relaxed during the banquet. The ministers talked to each other and laughed happily at the banquet. Lin Zhi was not interested in this and talked to Xiao Yuan to let it go.
Xiao Yuan immediately said that he would go back early with her, since there was nothing going on at the palace banquet anyway.
Ling Zhi glanced at the two ministers who had just left, and a few more came over to talk to him. Seemingly seeing that he was very easy-going tonight, many ministers quickly took the opportunity to come up to talk, and immediately refused, letting He would be a good emperor for a while and take Lu Rong out for some fresh air.
Here, she had just left, and not far away, Prince Rui and Lin Xiruo also left the table.
