Chapter 49

"Let him in."

"Your Majesty." Zuo Qiuju hesitated, "Your servant sees that King Qinghe seems to have brought a woman over, do you want to let her over?"

"Since it's what he thinks, then come here."

The distance from the Imperial Guard to Emperor Tianqin is actually very short, but Shui Wulian feels that this journey is particularly long.

Her family was poor since she was a child, and her father exchanged her for ten taels of silver at the Planting Flower Pavilion. Since then, she has never stepped out of the Planting Flower Pavilion.

Even if she is an elegant prostitute, if she is redeemed now, it is impossible for her to be a good citizen in her life.

But even so.

She also wished she hadn't been redeemed by King Qinghe, she was an elegant prostitute in Shihua Pavilion, she only played piano and played music, and it was fine to deal with scholars with poetry.

Compared with her humble status, a life with more than enough food and clothing is more important to her.

She wanted to live with enough food and clothing instead of fighting for unknown wealth with her life.

So she lowered her head desperately, and shrank her back slightly, for fear of being noticed.

"My brother has seen the emperor." Qin Lin bowed, and without waiting for Emperor Tianqin's reaction, he pushed Shui Wulian in front of him and asked, "What do you think of this woman, brother?"

Only then did Emperor Tianqin turn his gaze away, and the woman knelt down with a "plop", with panicked eyes and tears in her eyes.

Tears were hanging on the curled eyelashes, making her look extraordinarily pitiful.

"What do you think?" The man casually looked away, "Zuoqiuju, go get the cage."

I don't know if there were some days when he didn't lead the army to fight, and the man lost a lot of hostility.

However, the more this happened, the more appalled Qin Lin felt.

He swallowed his throat with difficulty, and stammered, "Chen, I think Miss Shui is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is good at piano and can relieve the empress dowager's boredom, and she has a beautiful appearance..."

"So, you are satisfied with her?" Emperor Tianqin said, interrupting what Qin Lin was going to say next.

Qin Lin's thoughts were interrupted all of a sudden, and he said, "Is it...?"

"That's good."

In the distance, Zuo Qiuju came over, followed by two young eunuchs, one on the left and one on the right, carrying an iron cage.

It was covered with a layer of black cloth. If you look closely, you will find that the faces of these three people are full of fear.

"You are fifteen this year, so it's time to start a family."

"Zuoqiuju, bring a pen and paper."

Hearing this, Zuo Qiuju turned around again and ran towards the nearest study.

"What's your name?" He asked the woman who was still kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Shui Wulian also has to deal with all kinds of guests in Shihua Pavilion, so she knows how to read words and expressions.

"Slave... the daughter of the common people, Shui Wulian."

"Being able to bring her into the palace, it seems that you really like her very much."

Qin Lin opened his mouth and explained, "Brother Huang, it's not... Brother Chen is not..."

"I know, you are worried that her status is too low to enter the palace, right?" Emperor Tianqin narrowed his eyes slightly, "You can marry at ease, I agree."

After a while, Zuo Qiuju brought a pen and paper.

Leaning against the small table placed in the imperial garden, Emperor Tianqin dictated, and Zuoqiuju wrote down the imperial decree.

The paper and pen were taken casually, and the words were not thought about too much, but the effectiveness of this imperial decree cannot be doubted.

Shui Wulian saw that the imperial decree had been written and sealed with the jade seal, so she knelt on the ground in panic, "Your Majesty, a common girl is just a lowly person, how can she be worthy of the position of Princess Qinghe?"

Qin Lin gritted his teeth sideways, and clenched his hands tightly. His blunt nails imprinted one after another blue and purple crescent moon marks on his palm.

He never expected that today he would shoot himself in the foot with a rock.

Originally thought that even if Qin Li didn't accept this woman, it would still make him feel uncomfortable and leave some troubles.

Unexpectedly, the person in trouble turned out to be him in the end.

However, Qin Lin didn't dare to open his mouth to argue again. He missed the opportunity early in the morning, and failed to get Qin Li involved with this woman, but instead involved himself.

"How unworthy, the imperial decree has been issued and there is no reason to take it back." Emperor Tianqin waited for the ink stains on the paper to blow away, then rolled up and let go.

The rolled up paper spun around on the ground a few times before arriving in front of Qin Lin.

"The fifteenth day of next month is a good day."

"Then I will thank the emperor here, and I hope that the emperor will find time to come over." Qin Lin put on a brisk smile, picked up the imperial edict in front of him, then pulled Shui Wulian up and turned to leave.

After watching the two leave the disappearing place for a long time, the man reached out to take the cage.

He lifted the black cloth covering it, revealing the cage inside and a tiger cub in the cage.

The tiger cub was slightly larger than his palm, and had orange fluff on its body. It had been licked by its mother before it came, so the fur on its head exploded.

Suddenly saw the light, and after recovering, he saw the man in front of him again. The soft fur on the cub's back was blown up, like a hedgehog, and he kept breathing.

If you don't look closely, you might think it's just a cat.

After opening the cage, Emperor Tianqin stretched out his hand and took the cub out of it. The cub was sitting in his palm, like a well-behaved cat, without moving.

When his fingers touched the cub's head, he realized that its body was trembling uncontrollably.

After holding the back of the neck and looking carefully for a while, he put the shivering cub inside.

……

The Lin family of the Ning'an Hall waited in the hall for an hour before knowing what happened in the imperial garden.

The first thought in her mind was rejoicing.

Fortunately, she wasn't the one who brought that woman there, if it wasn't for her being the one who got hurt.

After rejoicing, he was contemptuous again. Qin Lin couldn't do such a simple thing well. No wonder he failed at such an old age.

Thinking of Qin Lin's urging her to go to the Royal Garden, Lin's mood began to turn bad.

Although the two looked like their own mother and son in the eyes of outsiders.

But in fact, it is just mutual use. Qin Lin needs an excuse to stay in Shengjing and enter the imperial city, while Lin needs an obedient and sensible son who knows how to make her happy.

The two collided by mistake and coincided with each other, and took advantage of each other.

But the bond between mother and child that is exploited in this way is like fragile glass, a crack can be found inadvertently.

"After all, it's not my own son. It's really useless to be so stupid." Lin sat down impatiently, whether there was a little worry mixed with the sight of the door.

"Mother, do you think His Majesty has discovered that this woman was actually prepared for him by us?"

Qian Momo hurriedly looked to the left and right, and was relieved when she saw that there was no one there, "Oh, my empress dowager, please don't take everything on yourself."

"That woman was brought into the palace by King Qinghe. King Qinghe brought her into Ning'an Palace, and also took her out when he left. From the beginning to the end, what has it to do with you?"
