Chapter 121 Her Holy Water
Chapter 121 Her Holy Water
Lan Ling realized that she was late, she glanced at it, the seat next to the emperor was empty, it should be reserved for herself.
The Mingguang Hall was full of people, and no one paid attention to her.
She twitched her waist and just wanted to sneak past from behind.
"The Empress is here!" Yang Shu sang in a loud voice.
Except for the emperor, everyone stood up and saluted, "Hail the queen!"
At this moment, all eyes are on her.
Lan Ling bent down and stood there, suddenly realizing that they all seemed to be salute me!
All along, she tried her best to hide herself as if she didn't exist in public. She doesn't want to be noticed.
She didn't mean to be late today. She got up late, and was struggling with whether to come or not. She struggled for a long time, and these days, she obviously felt that she was very lazy.
More importantly, she forgot that she was now the queen. She thought that she was still the humble concubine she used to sneak in, and no one would pay attention to her.
Lan Ling's face was red, it was too embarrassing, would Ling Chen scold him?
She stood up slowly.
His eyes looked at everyone with astonishment like a deer.
Ling Chen sat there, tilted his head and looked at her, watching her froze there in a panic, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, she was still so useless!
"Queen, don't let everyone be flat? Come and sit!"
Ling Chen couldn't bear it any longer and called her.
When Lan Ling saw Ling Chen, she quickly calmed down. She was Lan Ling after all, and her reaction was quick. She immediately put on a graceful and noble smile on her face. , walked slowly to Ling Chen's side and sat down.
Ling Chen reached out to hold her hand, helped her sit up, and straightened her crooked hairpin.
Wen Heng had a smile on his face, his hands were tightly clasped together, his fingernails were about to snap off.
Lan Ling, as long as you are here, how can I be happy?
Ling Chen looked at Lan Ling and said in a low voice, "Sit for a while, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me."
He remembered that when Wen Heng started to get pregnant, he couldn't smell any peculiar smell.
"Well, it's alright, I'll tell you if it's uncomfortable." Lan Ling said and glanced at the tables below, and indeed saw a few strangers.
"Your Majesty, which one is Dou Erqin?" Lan Ling asked Ling Chen softly.
"The first one at the main table on the left is his sister Dou Wan'er." Ling Chen said in a low voice.
Lan Ling saw that the man was burly, with single eyelids, a high nose bridge, and a simple and honest face. Although his appearance was not as handsome and heroic as Jiang Rui, he was considered a talent.
The woman next to her had thick eyebrows and big eyes and deep eye sockets, which was very beautiful.
Lan Ling saw Ling Shuang sitting there, eating the dishes in front of her with her head down, with a look of indifference.
She has been looking for an opportunity to ask Jiang Rui's meaning these days, but she has never seen him.
Ling Chen was chatting and laughing, and was talking about the wonders of the world with the ministers and Dou Erqin. At this time, Ling Chen was very similar to the way Lan Ling had just met. He had a smile on his face and talked eloquently. He looked unrestrained and unrestrained.
At this time, Dou Erqin suddenly stood up and walked to Ling Shuang's side, holding a white jade bottle in his hand, "Beautiful princess, this is the holy water and spar from Moon Lake in Dayue Kingdom, for the princess."
Ling Shuang was stunned for a moment.
Dou Erqin had been to Daxing before. At that time, Ling Shuang was seven or eight years old. She had heard that the Moon Lake in Dayue Kingdom was their holy water. This is their custom.
Ling Shuang pretended not to understand, reached out and took the white jade bottle and looked at it, "Well, Your Royal Highness, I also have this bottle, which was given to me by my sweetheart."
Dou Erqin's expression froze.
Ling Chen suppressed the smile on his face: "That person is already dead, so the Seventh Princess doesn't need to mention it again."
Ling Shuang's face changed.
What she said just now was nonsense, but when the emperor said this, was he threatening her? If she doesn't agree to marry, will the imperial brother kill Jiang Rui?
Ling Shuang held holy water in her hand and stared at Ling Chen with a look of horror.
Douldun didn't expect that the holy water he sent would make Princess Lingshuang so frightened.
Ling Shuang raised his hand and returned the white bottle to him, Dou Erdun held it in his hand, in a dilemma.
At this time, Dou Wan'er stood up, reached out and took the bottle from Dou Erqin's hand, "Princess Lingshuang, you clearly know that my elder brother gave you this holy water to show you his heart, if you don't want to say it directly, don't Daxing Are all women so twisted?"
"Yes, I don't want to. I have a crush!" Ling Shuang looked up at her.
Dou Wan'er put the bottle in her pocket, "Brother, since she doesn't want to, why do you have to force it! This holy water is just loaned to my sister!"
Dou Erqin smiled heartily and turned back to his seat.
Dou Wan'er bowed to Ling Chen and said: "Your Majesty, this princess and eldest brother came to Daxing country this time. It was originally a marriage, and now the princess of Daxing has no intention of this. It seems that this time the father and the emperor gave us the task. It can't be done."
Ling Chen looked at her and then at King Rui again, "Daxing is sincere and friendly with Dayueguo, Princess, please be patient."
Dou Wan'er walked up to Ling Chen and handed the holy water: "Your Majesty, this princess will give you this holy water!"
Lan Ling's expression changed instantly.
Ling Chen paused, raised his eyebrows, reached out to take it, and said with a smile: "There are many good men in Daxing, I keep this holy water for you, and when I find a suitable princess, I will give it to him!"
Ling Chen knew what Dou Wan'er meant.
He saw that Dou Wan'er helped her brother out of the siege. She was smart and forthright, and she dared to speak and act, with a Lan Ling demeanor.
But he didn't want to marry her. Lan Ling frowned and looked worried, which made him worry.
He really wanted to marry Dou Wan'er to King Rui, but he didn't know King Rui's mind, so he wanted to wait until he asked King Rui before making plans.
Lan Ling felt that this matter could not end like this. After all, Ling Shuang was in front of so many people and prevented the prince of Dayue Kingdom from stepping down from the stage, and Dou Wan'er also gave her holy water to the emperor in front of so many people.
Really uneasy.
After the banquet, Ling Chen didn't go to her Wang Kang Palace.
Ling Shuang didn't come either. Later, Xiao Guizi said that Ling Shuang was confined in his palace by the emperor, and no one was allowed to see her.
Lan Ling sighed, she secretly went to Shufang Palace, and when she saw the guards at the door, it seemed that Ling Chen was really angry.
She thought of Ling Chen's troubles. In the past, she would have complained about Ling Chen and exchanged the happiness of the princess for her stability, but now she doesn't think so.
Personal happiness is negligible compared to the disaster brought by the war between the two countries.
Jiang Rui is an orphan and has no background except for being a member of Tsing Yi Tang. As the emperor, Ling Chen, how could he let the princess marry him.
Besides, Lan Ling didn't know whether Jiang Rui liked the princess or not. She wanted to help Ling Shuang, but she couldn't hurt Jiang Rui.
The princess had already rejected Doerqin in front of so many people. Although Doerqin was not angry at the time, how many men could accept being rejected in public? Besides, he's a prince.
Ling Shuang is indeed willful.
Ling Chen has not come over these days. He hadn't even returned to the harem.
In the afternoon of this day, Lan Ling saw Xiao Guizi coming back from the outside with an incredible look on his face.
When he saw Lan Ling, he was stunned.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lan Ling asked.
"Niangniang, I heard, I heard that the emperor is going to marry the princess of the Great Moon Kingdom..."
"Who did you listen to?" Lan Ling didn't believe it.
"Everyone is rumored that because the princess didn't want to marry their prince, and their princess fell in love with the emperor, they have been pestering the emperor for the past few days..."
Lan Ling didn't believe it. But thought it was true.
At the banquet that day, although Ling Chen rejected Dou Wan'er, Lan Ling felt that the look in the eyes of the princess was abnormal.
