concubines are respected

Chapter 88 Concerns
Under Suxian's vigorous pushing and pushing, the person in front of her remained motionless, and the arm lightly wrapped around her waist held him even tighter.

Suxian's dry red cheeks were pressed against her chest, a strong heartbeat rang in her ears, and the faint fragrance of gladiolus on the moon-white skirt hit her, and there was another annoying dizziness, and Suxian was a little lost in a trance .

Tilting his head slightly, Murong Haotian's starry eyes looked down softly, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Suxian was shy and restless, but the hands pushing her chest became weaker and weaker. In desperation, Suxian rebuked in a low voice, "Let go of me, I will be elected as a prince and concubine soon, you are so overstepping, Don't be afraid of incurring a murderous disaster."

As soon as these words came out, Suxian obviously felt the arms around her waist tightened, and she was almost out of breath when she was hugged, and then, the smile on the corners of Murong Haotian's lips froze slightly, and he slowly withdrew his arms, both hands Gently stroking her thin shoulders, and after she stood still, she took a step back, stood gracefully with her hands behind her back, and said in a low voice with her sword eyebrows tightly furrowed, "Would this Marquis be afraid of killing her... just... you are really willing Married to the Fifth Prince?"

This is the second time he asked Suxian about this topic.I think that day, when I ran into him while practicing walking posture in the maple forest, he also asked the question like this, and left sadly after getting an affirmative answer.

But Suxian didn't answer at this time, she lowered her head sullenly and said nothing.

The day to be elected is approaching. Although I am not willing to be elected, I have not yet thought of a way to avoid the election.But facing the person in front of her at this time, Suxian reluctantly chose to remain silent.

The two were relatively silent, only the breeze blowing in the forest, and the slight sound of the branches and leaves rubbing against each other.

The more silent, the more embarrassing Suxian felt, and finally raised her head to bless her body, Ying said in a voice, "If Master Hou has nothing important to do, Suxian will leave here."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave, "Wait a minute!" Just as Suxian turned sideways, Murong Haotian reached out his hand abruptly to hold Suxian's wrist like a lotus root, and said in a low voice, "You Are you unwilling?"

"..." Suxian was speechless, but did not withdraw her wrist, allowing him to hold it in the palm of her hand, and said softly, "So what if you want to? So what if you don't want to? Since ancient times, the royal draft has been decided by the royal family. How can you make up your own mind.”

Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning is self-evident, Murong Haotian stretched his eyebrows, and the smile returned to his handsome face.

"Take it, if necessary, this thing can help you avoid the election."

Suxian looked at it, and saw that there was an extra green jade buckle not much larger than a copper coin in the palm of his hand. Several transparent emerald jade beads were inlaid on the side of the jade buckle. The jade buckle was lightly tied with a red silk thread. The delicate silk tassels flow down from below.

This object is obviously an exquisite pendant, Suxian really thinks how to use this object to avoid selection.

"What... what is this? How to avoid this thing?" Suxian asked puzzledly as she rubbed the smooth and delicate surface with her fingertips.

"If you really have no intention of being selected, bring it with you. At that time, there will naturally be a way to avoid being selected." Murong Haotian said warmly, just as he was about to say something, there were faint footsteps not far away, and more Someone whispered, "Master Hou, Lord Hou..."

Murong Haotian turned around and looked, a young boy in gray outside Xinglin came along the road and whispered.

"Here!" Murong Haotian responded, turned his head and gave Suxian a deep look, and said with a smile, "Remember, just carry it with you."

While speaking, a piece of apricot leaf fell on Suxian's hair, Murong Hao stepped forward consciously, reaching out his hand to pluck the apricot leaf from his hair.But Suxian took a step back, raised her hand to brush the apricot leaves from her hair, and said respectfully, "Suxian respectfully sends you off to Lord Marquis."

Murong Haotian withdrew his arm a little disappointed, put it on his lips and coughed softly, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, then quickly recovered his calm, raised his hands and clasped his fists and said, "Farewell!"

In the apricot grove, the moonlight clothes gradually drifted away, Suxian watched it go away, put the jade buckle tightly in the palm of her hand into her arms, sighed softly and walked back to the place...
On the other side, a water-blue figure flashed out from the forest, staring at the departing Yiren with a pair of venomous eyes.

"Hmph! Being the daughter of a wealthy family and one of the candidates for the Fifth Prince's Concubine, to meet a man privately in the woods and secretly pass a token of love is really shameless!" In the wing room, purple silk and silver Gritting his teeth tightly, he spoke bitterly.

"Miss, this woman is really shameless. On the one hand, she actively chooses for the fifth imperial concubine, and on the other hand, she flirts with men. I don't know what the old matriarch is looking for in her? If such a shameless woman is allowed to enter the palace, He will definitely commit adultery in the harem in the future, and the Lin family will definitely be dragged down by it!" Xiang'er said angrily.

On that day, the old lady disagreed with Zijuan's passing through the Xulin Mansion to be elected as a prince and concubine, and said that the only two places to be elected in the Lin Mansion had already been determined.Unexpectedly, while wandering around Xinglin today, she accidentally discovered that Lin Suxian had an 'affair' with another man.Although this move is indecent, but after thinking about it, I feel that this is undoubtedly excellent news.

If Lin Suxian was exposed to the old matriarch for having an affair with a man, how would the Lin family dare to send a woman who bears the name of uncleanness to the election? In this way, a quota will be vacated. The two granddaughters of the old matriarch are only eleven or twelve years old. At the age of [-], naturally he couldn't stand for election, so he could justifiably fill this vacancy.

Thinking of this, Zijuan smiled instead of feeling angry, "Xiang'er, clean up, and accompany me to grandma's room later."

"Miss, I can't do it right now. I heard that my uncle is talking in the old lady's room. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to go now." Xiang'er replied.

"Forget it, it's not too late to go tomorrow. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry." With a plan in mind, Zijuan's mood improved, and her tone of voice became much lighter.

Granny's Wing

Lin Mohao was dressed in court clothes, and spoke softly to the old lady with a solemn expression. It seemed that he had just returned from court, and before he had time to change back into casual clothes, he rushed to the old lady's room.

"Mother, at the early court today, the third prince used the excuse of occupying good land and enclosing the land to bully the people, and went up to participate in the national uncle. If An Nanhou sent the person who sneaked into the mansion last night and the third girl from the side branch into the palace, it involved Regarding the matter of forbidden drugs in the palace, it will be difficult for the uncle of the country to escape unscathed." Lin Mohao said.

"Last night, the people sent by the uncle of the country were captured, and with the confession of the third girl, the crime of the uncle of the country secretly informing the queen of using water illusions and poisoning is also confirmed. However, the crime of encroaching on good land and enclosing land to bully the people, I am I heard that all his disciples took the blame on him. Take Mr. Wu as an example, this time he was also imprisoned for the enclosure of land. Now he has been sent to the sky jail and the evidence of the crime has been proved. Uncle Guo is with him Draw a clear line in time. Make three folds to the emperor, imploring the emperor to punish Xiaoyou severely. It is like a noble posture of killing relatives with righteousness."

The old matriarch said with a serious face, "Master Wu is in such a miserable situation, yet he dare not confess to his uncle, it can be seen that it is not easy to prove the crime of the uncle's enclosure of land. The third prince has always been prudent in his affairs, why is he in such a hurry this time?" Put on the booklet?"

"Mother, don't worry, the third prince's decision is naturally ten-level sure. According to the child's investigation, Mr. Wu did not dare to confess to his uncle easily, and was willing to bear all the crimes. It was because the uncle had used his only son as a threat. If not So, Mr. Wu went to prison this time, how could Mrs. Wu escape with the only flesh and blood of Mr. Wu? But the one squatting in the Yamen of Wuzhou Mansion is different, although he has not confessed to his uncle, But it will be a matter of time before a full confession is made." Wu Mohao looked confident, with a deep smile on his face.

The old lady was slightly startled, "Are you talking about Juan'er's father, Guo Ziheng?"

"Of course it is him. Did mother forget that he is a disciple of the uncle of the country, and now he is dismissed from office and imprisoned because of the land enclosure. Although my second brother-in-law and Mr. Wu are both working for the uncle of the country, there is a little difference. Wu My lord has worries about the future, but Guo Ziheng doesn't."

Lin Mohao leaned forward and continued, "Second sister passed away, and the only daughter of the Guo family is now enjoying herself at her mother's knee. Guo Ziheng has not confessed these days, firstly because of his pitiful loyalty, and secondly because he is worried that if he is pulled The third prince has already found out this point, and sent his second younger brother to Wuzhou to persuade Guo Ziheng to offer his uncle. If he is willing to cooperate, he will definitely find a way to save his life Yesterday there was news from Wuzhou that Guo Ziheng had already written a confession and tried his best to testify against the uncle of the country, so today the third prince will participate in the uncle of the country in the early court."

The old matriarch finally showed joy on his face when he heard the words, "In this way, the country's uncle is really doomed this time. If the country's uncle falls, the queen will not have the backing of her relatives, and she will be charged with private use of prohibited drugs. Her good life It's the end. Hehe! Hey, I, Yuan'er, can finally make it through..."

Seeing that the old lady was happy, Lin Mohao laughed along with him.

Suddenly, the old lady seemed to think of something, the smile on her face was slightly suppressed, and she sighed sullenly.

"Why is mother suddenly upset?" Seeing that the old lady's face changed quickly, Lin Mohao hurriedly asked.

"My uncle and the queen are about to fall, so my mother is naturally happy. But when I think of it, my Qing'er, as a member of the Lin family, after marrying into her husband's family, is devoted to her husband's family. The nemesis Guojiu was doing business, and he never revealed anything to his natal family, so he panicked in his heart. The three girls are even more abominable. They even went back to the house with her husband's family to harm my Yuan'er. Is it true that, as the world says, girls are foreign? Girls Once you enter the door of your husband's family, you will turn your heart towards your husband's family, will you forget about the interests of your mother's family?" The old lady said in a melancholy voice.

"Mother is worrying too much. Since ancient times, women have regarded their husbands as their gods. The second sister has been engaged to Guo Ziheng since childhood. The affection is not shallow. The second sister has always been weak, so she will naturally obey Guo Ziheng's words. Besides, Wuzhou is far away from the capital. The second sister is It is powerless to tell each other if you want to. As for the third girl in the side branch, why should mother worry about her, it's all because there is no such person." Lin Mohao said comfortingly.

"Hao'er, you are worried about being a mother. Just think, even if your own daughter marries into her husband's family, she won't love her mother's family. How can you expect a girl from a side branch to continue to obey orders from the Lin family after marrying into the prince's mansion? "

It turns out that this is where the old matriarch's heart lies. In a few days, it will be the day when Lin Zhilan and Lin Suxian will be selected as the fifth concubine. Now it seems that one of them must be selected, but the old matriarch's own Daughters are as loyal to their husbands as they marry a chicken and follow a dog.If the two of them are also loyal to the fifth prince in the future, if they cross the river and demolish the bridge, wouldn't they not only lose the preset pawn, but also make a wedding dress for her in vain!
