After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of Hunjun
Chapter 122 Gambling in the Palace
Since the last farewell in the Royal Garden, Lin Zhiyu has never met Zhou Zijin in the palace again, as if the other person suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Lin Zhiyu was sitting at the desk practicing calligraphy. After writing for a while, his eyes became a little empty.
Seeing Lin Zhiyu's gloomy look, Qiaoxiu consoled her: "Miss, the prince is probably very busy. I heard that Xirong has proposed to exchange cities, and the marriage has not progressed yet. He is very busy."
"What did the emperor say?"
"The emperor seemed to intend to point Princess Shangyang over, but the prince did not agree. He wanted to point out Princess Yunyue to the prince, but the prince also disagreed. There was a big quarrel in the imperial study room yesterday."
Qiao Xiu is always well informed.
"But there is one more thing. The prince asked me to inform the eldest girl and see how to deal with it."
Did Zhou Zijin ask Qiaoxiu to bring her a message?
The brush in Lin Zhiyu's hand was hanging in the air, waiting for Qiao Xiu's next words.
Qiaoxiu thought about it for a moment: "The emperor listened to the Queen's wishes and intended to give Aunt Zhang of the Prime Minister's Mansion an imperial title. It seems that the imperial edict has been drafted,"
"what!"
Lin Zhiyu's expression immediately changed.
Did Zhou Tingchen lose his head in Lin Minghua's gentle hometown?
According to ancestral tradition, if a woman wants to obtain the imperial title, she must first be an official's family member, secondly, she must be the head wife, and thirdly, her husband must be a high-ranking official in the court and have made great contributions to the court.
Not to mention that Zhang Xiuli was just an aunt and had no qualifications to be named the royal wife. Although Lin Pengsheng was the prime minister, it all depended on the fact that the late emperor was in the right team by mistake when he had not yet established a prince, and he did not have any outstanding political achievements.
The incident of Lin Pengsheng spoiling his concubine and killing his wife at the previous banquet has not yet passed. Even if Zhou Tingchen wants to stand up for Lin Minghua, he should consider that this behavior is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Qiaoxiu added: "The emperor's statement is that Aunt Zhang respected her deceased sister and did not take the position of the mistress of the house. However, for so many years, she has worked hard without any credit. She is still the biological mother of the empress. This title is what she deserves. of."
"Even if the emperor personally ennobles me, the old lady will not recognize this so-called imperial edict."
Before Lin Zhiyu finished speaking, he saw dozens of eunuchs entering Weiyang Palace.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing!" Lin Xiaolian chased in from outside, with confusion and anger on her face. She wanted to stop these eunuchs from breaking into the palace, but to no avail.
One of the eunuchs came up and wanted to turn over the desk in front of Lin Zhiyu. Qiaoxiu immediately turned cold and stood between the eunuch and Lin Zhiyu.
"Some people say that my sister took the lead in gambling in the palace and led Princess Yunyue astray. I don't believe it and came here to search the palace to help my sister prove her innocence."
Lin Minghua walked in with the support of Mo Ju, followed by Princess Yunyue with a dejected look on her face.
With a "clang" sound, Lin Zhiyu put down the wolf brush pen in his hand and stood up, making a harsh sound as the chair was pulled on the ground.
"Am I taking the lead in gambling? Then may I ask the Queen, who said this?"
Lin Minghua sneered, unable to hide the proud look on his face: "Of course Princess Yunyue said it herself."
She glanced at Mo Ju, who immediately stepped forward and threw the thing in his hand in front of Lin Zhiyu. Lin Zhiyu lowered his head and saw a variety of dice and leaf cards of different designs.
"Princess Yunyue, have you made a mistake? These things are not mine." Lin Zhiyu moved his gaze to Yunyue, who looked innocent behind Lin Minghua.
A eunuch shouted loudly: "We found it!"
Lin Minghua looked over and said sarcastically: "These things don't belong to my sister. That set of leaf cards are always found from my sister's palace, right?"
Lin Xiaolian on the side saw the leaf card in the eunuch's hand and stamped her feet in annoyance.
It's all my fault. I asked someone to borrow it before, but one thing happened after another and I forgot about it!
"Sister, you are from the Prime Minister's Palace. How come you don't know that gambling is prohibited by the laws of the Qin Dynasty? Now, you are really putting your sister in trouble!"
Probably because Zhang Xiuli was about to be named the Imperial Lady, although Lin Minghua still spoke in his usual delicate tone today, he was more arrogant and even straightened his back a bit.
What about the legitimate daughter? Her own mother is dead and there is no one to support her. When she sees Lin Minghua, she still has to respectfully call her Queen, and when the royal decree comes down, she still has to call Zhang Xiuli Madam!
"Queen, we found another object!"
A young eunuch found a gold ring and jade pendant on Lin Zhiyu's bedside. It looked so novel and had never been seen before, and it was hidden by Lin Zhiyu like this. He concluded in his heart that there was something fishy about this thing, and wanted to please Lin Minghua. , so he boldly handed it into Lin Minghua's hands.
This golden ring and jade pendant obviously did not belong to Lin Zhiyu, and it could not appear in the palace.
The carving method on it is very novel and cannot be done by just any craftsman.
Lin Minghua took the jade pendant and raised his brows. He really didn't expect that searching the palace would reveal an unexpected surprise.
Behind her, Princess Yunyue's eyes clearly lit up.
"Where did this jade pendant come from?"
How could Lin Zhiyu tell Lin Minghua about Wei Shaoyuan's matter: "This is originally my thing. The Queen is making too much of a fuss."
Lin Minghua put the jade pendant into his sleeve: "This thing is obviously not the property of the Qin State. I will keep it for my sister for now and then hand it over to the Emperor to make a decision."
Lin Zhiyu was a little anxious. The origin of this jade pendant has not yet been determined. How could it be taken away by Lin Minghua so easily!
But the most important thing right now is the matter of gambling.
Mo Ju glanced at Lin Zhiyu and saw that she was not afraid at all. After getting Lin Minghua's permission, she said loudly: "According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, gambling in private will require twenty canes. If you are a relative of the emperor, you will be punished. Double it as a warning. Girl, if you don’t admit your mistake, you will have to double it again.”
"Queen Qi, this leaf card belongs to the slave and has nothing to do with the eldest lady." Lin Xiaolian gritted her teeth, took two steps forward, and knelt in front of Lin Minghua.
Lin Minghua's thoughts were clearly written on her face, and she could tell at a glance that she wanted to take this opportunity to torture Lin Zhiyu.
Princess Yunyue bit her lower lip. Although she was the one who pushed it, she didn't expect that Lin Minghua would openly attack Lin Zhiyu. She originally thought that this person would put on a show.
"Empress, the fault for this matter is mine. I saw Sister Zhiyu's leaf card and got curious, so I went to ask the palace officials."
Why are these two people fighting to exonerate Lin Zhiyu?
Because of what happened before, Lin Minghua didn't have a good impression of Princess Yunyue: "The emperor breaks the law and the people are guilty. Princess Yunyue, if this is wrong, it is wrong. How can there be any reason to excuse others?"
