Chapter 156
"Of course he is the man I want to marry."
Lin Yunwan was determined to choose a suitable husband for herself.
After all, she still had to marry, and instead of waiting for the wolf couple Lin Huabin and Zheng to choose for her, it was better for her to choose herself.
Xiruo was a little surprised.
Of course, she also thought that the girl would get married when she arrived in Jiangqian.
But……
"What kind of husband does the girl want to marry?"
Xiruo asked in a low voice, she was afraid that Zhao's mother and the others outside would hear it.
Lin Yunwan looked at the Changming Lantern in trance. This was her second life, given to her by Miss Lin.
"Xiruo, you probably know everything about me."
"The person I marry must have a stronghold and be responsible."
But how can an ordinary man come to the city and take on the responsibility?
Lin Yunwan sighed and said, "This person's background shouldn't be too bad."
It's not easy to find anyway.
Xiruo paused and asked doubtfully: "Isn't the prince just what the girl wants?"
Lin Yunwan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "...My lord, you can't do that."
Xiruo didn't understand: "Why can't you, Your Majesty?"
She felt that the prince took great care of the girl!
Lin Yunwan turned around and walked out, saying in a low voice: "...The prince will cover my affairs for me. No matter who I marry in the future, it doesn't matter if my husband's family finds out."
Xiruo understands this.
If the prince ascends the throne, he will be the next emperor. Who dares to reveal the emperor's interference?
Then Lin Yunwan continued: "If you marry a royal family, it will be difficult for the Emperor and the Queen to get along with you."
Xiruo lowered his head.
The royal family values honor, and it doesn't matter even if Princess Huan is more delicate and savage. If she is a second-married woman, she faked her death and fled to Jiang Qian. If the empress finds out, she will use the power of thunder!
"Xi Ruo, you came from the royal palace, and you understand better than me the principle of putting king and subject before father and son."
Lin Yunwan pursed her lips and finally said: "Your Majesty has been kind to me, but I can't repay him, let alone harm him."
Xiruo lowered his head and said nothing.
When Zhao's mother saw the two people coming out, she ordered someone to lead the way. She also reminded Lin Yunwan: "Girl, please put on your curtain hat quickly, otherwise it won't be good if others see them."
Lin Yunwan put on a curtain hat and left Ci'en Temple with the servants of the Lin Mansion.
When I walked to the Ningbo Road, I saw other pilgrims coming to offer incense, and heard people talking about the origin of Ci'en Temple: "...when Taizu conquered the world, he first established his power in Jiang Qian, and later built Ci'en Temple in Jiang Qian. , it has been repaired more than a dozen times today, and it is no longer the same as Ci En back then."
He speaks clearly and logically, and once he hears it, he is a scholar.
"Brother Xia, why don't you leave again?"
Xia Jin stood there and looked at the girl surrounded by a group of servants... Is that the Lin family's legitimate daughter?
That figure is really similar!
Zhao's mother stopped in front, glared at the group of scholars, and said to Xia Jin, "You're rude!"
Xia Jin stepped back, lowered his head and bowed, not daring to take another look.
Zhao's mother took the people, hugged Lin Yunwan and Xiruo and left quickly.
After getting on the carriage for the first time, Lin Yunwan took off her curtain hat and looked a little solemn.
"How could it be him……"
What a coincidence!
Xiruo asked: "Does the girl recognize the man just now?"
Lin Yunwan nodded, Xia Jin, the youngest man of the Xia family. There is a very famous Qingou Academy in Jiang Qian. The Lin family spends a lot of money every year to maintain the academy. Scholars from Xilin and Donglin Mansion serve as teachers in the academy and are very good at teaching students to write eight-part essay.
Next August will be the time for the next provincial imperial examination. Xia Jin should come to Qingou Academy to study.
"I really didn't expect that I could meet an old friend this far away from Jiang Qian..."
Xi Ruoke didn't know Xia Jin, so she asked worriedly: "Do you want me to tell the prince?"
Lin Yunwan shook his head.
She also knows a little bit about the Xia family.
"He won't talk nonsense outside."
"Even if he talks nonsense, there is no evidence. He is studying abroad and I am at home. The two have nothing to do with each other. It doesn't matter."
Xiruo still frowned.
Lin Yunwan added: "...I will return to the capital sooner or later, and there will always be people who will question me. Whether it is Jiang Qian or the capital, it just depends on how I deal with it."
This is true.
Xiruo was not in a hurry for the time being, but she still made up her mind to tell the prince.
She was sent by the prince to protect the girl. Whenever the girl was in the slightest danger, she would try her best to avoid it.
Back to Bixi Hall.
Xiruo asked Lin Yunwan: "Girl, what should we do now?"
"wait."
Lin Yunwan said calmly: "Didn't Shuangshuang say that he would come to find me?"
She lowered her head and smiled, but she couldn't tell what kind of smile it was: "...Mrs. must be getting anxious too."
Xiruo quickly understood why Zheng was anxious.
I'm afraid he is planning to marry the girl off quickly.
The girl's marriage was not up to the Zheng family, so the attempt was all in vain!
Lin Yunwan practiced calligraphy in her room at night. Aunt Fan also taught her and Lin Yunjiao how to write, but she just simply wrote a few words, and there was nothing particular about it. She was afraid that people would recognize them, so she usually wrote wildly by herself.
Xiruo studied the ink, but she didn't recognize Kuangcao, so she asked: "Girl, what are you drawing?"
Lin Yunwan said: "This is written in the "Tie of All Venerables"."
Not painting.
Xiruo looked at it seriously for a long time, looked into Lin Yunwan's eyes and said, "This slave looks like a Taoist priest drawing talismans."
Lin Yunwan smiled, and finally wrote a letter, sealed it with wax oil, and said to Xiruo: "I haven't had any contact with the prince for a while. You can go and report to the prince tomorrow that he is safe."
Xiruo's eyes lit up.
She has wanted to go there for a long time!
Lin Yunwan warned her: "Just say that you and I are safe, don't say anything else."
Xiruo hesitated for a while and asked: "Girl, don't you want the prince to intervene in Mrs. Dong's matter?"
She first expressed her thoughts: "You can do whatever you want with the affairs in the inner chamber, but the affairs of Mrs. Dong's husband are no longer matters in the inner chamber. Since you want to help her, why not send Buddha to West?"
"Girl, please excuse me, but for the prince, these things are just a matter of fingertips."
Lin Yunwan was silent for a while and then said softly: "Xiruo, I can't ask the prince for everything."
Xiruo said in confusion: "But the prince is willing to help you."
"Xi Ruo, there are differences between men and women."
The prince sent her to Jiang Qian, settled her well, and helped her solve Ling Xiang's matter. He had already helped her too much... It can be said that the prince did this for her father's sake.
What will it look like if I trouble the prince more?
She couldn't pretend to be confused while pretending to understand.
Lin Yunwan said no more.
Xiruo also sensed Lin Yunwan's dislike and didn't say much.
When she arrived in front of Qi Lingheng and reported that she was safe, she hesitated to speak as before and remained unusually silent.
Ah Fu also laughed at her: "Xi Ruo, you have become more stable after following the girl."
Xiruo is actually very steady in her song, but her character is outgoing and she doesn't say anything.
Now that something happened but she didn't tell the prince, Ah Fu called her "steady", which was obviously a joke.
Xiruo lowered her head and said, "Girl, I won't let you talk."
After following Lin Yunwan for so long, she has figured out the girl's character. The girl has her own principles and will not touch anything that is not allowed.
"The slave is the girl's maid, so of course the slave must listen to the girl."
Ah Fu laughed heartily, pointed at Xiruo and said, "You girl!"
Qi Lingheng smiled and said, "I did the right thing by sending you there."
Regardless of what they said, Xiruo reported that she was safe and said, "It's not easy for me to go out. If the prince doesn't have any instructions, I will go back."
Qi Lingheng put down the tea cup and looked at Xiruo.
His face was calm, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Ah Fu was sure of it. He stepped forward and said to Xi Ruo: "The prince sent you to take care of the girl, but you didn't tell the prince about the girl. How does the prince know whether you are taking good care of her?"
Qi Lingheng's eyes dimmed.
Xiruo glanced at Ah Fu and had the courage to say to Qi Lingheng: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for overstepping—"
She has something to say!
Qi Lingheng said calmly: "Say it."
Xiruo said: "What kind of person is the girl? I am not qualified to tell you... But after following the girl for such a long time, I still want to say that the girl is from a famous family and has an excellent education. She knows how to repay her kindness, but is afraid of giving back to her. People cause trouble.”
"If the prince wants to know if the girl is okay, it is useless to just ask the slave."
Ah Fu was dumbfounded.
"Xiruo...you, you are so brave!"
"I've only been with the girl for a long time, and now I dare to talk to the prince like this!"
Qi Lingheng glanced at Ah Fu and said, "Step back."
"……yes."
Ah Fu felt very uneasy and listened carefully.
Qi Lingheng said calmly: "Xiruo, your girl is not an ignorant girl. She is a very thoughtful person."
"This king..."
Qi Lingheng said lightly: "Even if I am the king..."
You can't get in front of her either.
Xiruo hesitated for a moment and finally said: "My lord, you know that the girl has great ideas, so this is it."
"Slave, please leave."
The first one picked up and left.
Ah Fu glared, what kind of ability did the girl have to let Xi Ruo face her like this?
He looked at Qi Lingheng's face again... This was not good!
