Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 191 Blessings and Disasters

Standing next to Lin Yuanzhi, Bi was still secretly weeping. After hearing Huang's words, her eyes widened and she asked, "Brother and sister, what are you talking about!"

Huang didn't expect that her eldest sister-in-law, who had always been weak, would suddenly question herself, and said with a pinched neck: "Where did I say something wrong? My eldest sister first won the favor of His Majesty, and now she has become the princess. Our whole family will be honored! Such a good thing will not be appreciated by others.

We can’t wait to see you, sister-in-law, don’t act like a good boy even if you get the benefits!”

After hearing what Huang said, Bi realized that she had lost her temper. The emperor had just issued the imperial edict and she could not show any dissatisfaction. She forced a smile and said: "My younger brother and sister are right. My eldest sister is indeed the glory of our family."

"A good thing, yes, a good thing!"

Lin Yuanzhi forced a smile and said in a hoarse voice: "As the eldest lady has told me, each of the servants in the mansion will receive an additional two months' monthly payment!"

Only then did the servants in the mansion dare to cheer, and several junior members of the family also stepped forward to congratulate Lin Zisu.

After the imperial edict was enshrined and everyone gradually dispersed, Bi sighed with a sad face.

The name of King Dun Xie Xi is known to everyone in Beijing.

Although she has never met Xie Xi, when she heard the rumors about Xie Xi, there was nothing good about him. He was either a gambler or a bully. Especially when she heard that he went naked on the street, how could he look like a serious person?

Making a show?

Moreover, Xie Xi is already over sixteen years old, and I heard that he has a lot of concubines in the backyard of his house.

According to the status of King Dun, there will definitely be some concubines, Liang Di and other women in the future. My daughter is still young and thin-skinned. If she marries her like this, won't she be disgusted to death?

The more Bi thought about it, the more worried she became, so she took her children back to the backyard.

But seeing the expressions of her father and mother, Lin Zisu realized that this gift of marriage had brought them endless troubles.

Bi's voice was full of relief when she heard Lin Zisu's words, and she felt even more melancholy in her heart. Her daughter was still young and didn't know how high the sky was. Marrying into the royal family was a waste of time, let alone the infamous King Dun!

Bi's heart was heavy and she couldn't help but sigh again. Lin Wenjing on the side didn't know why. Seeing her mother's sad face, she helped and said, "I have seen that Prince Dun before. He looks okay and speaks well."

Oh, by the way, he has a good drinking capacity! Last time at Princess Yong'an's village, I heard someone say that he is said to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"

But he knew in his heart that the emperor's grant of marriage in this way brought his family to the forefront. What can be expected is that in the morning meeting tomorrow, there will be countless censors criticizing this marriage grant.

Lin Yuanzhi sighed in his heart. He just wanted to find a clean family for his daughter, a husband and children, so that she could live a peaceful life.

"Sister, what do you think?"

Lin Zisu stepped forward and hugged Bi's waist, put her face against her mother's back, and said with a smile: "Mom, this marriage is not necessarily bad. You don't have to worry about your daughter."

But Bi Shi never expected that Lin Yuanzhi was standing at the door the whole time, and Lin Yuanzhi heard all the conversations between the three of them.

And now, if her daughter marries the prince Xie Xi, not only will disputes in the backyard be inevitable, but she may also be subject to much suspicion when the new emperor ascends the throne in the future.

As Lin Yuanzhi expected, early in the morning on the second day, the imperial censor made a fuss about the conferred marriage in the morning.

Lin Yuanzhi's thoughts were completely different from Bi's. He thought more about the future of the Lin family.

Lin Zisu couldn't help but hold her forehead. She was counting on her brother to persuade her mother. But after saying these words, she was afraid that her mother would be even more worried about her.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuanzhi couldn't help but feel sore at the tip of his nose, and his eyes seemed to be moist.

When people who don't know about it hear about it, they will definitely be envious of the Lin family for receiving the emperor's favor, just like the Huang family.

The Lin family has been a medical family for several generations, and it was not until my own generation that they began to embark on the right path of the imperial examination.

As for Xie Xi's flirtatious temperament, he might have abandoned his daughter before that time came, and there could still be some improvement...

She stood up on tiptoes and lay on her mother's shoulders. Sure enough, she saw her mother's face darken, and she heard her mother ask: "He...what else do you know about him?"

After these few questions, Ms. Bi became more and more disappointed with her daughter's marriage. She could only look forward to hearing what her husband would say when he came back.

Now that he has been promoted to Minister of Justice, and his younger brother is also a sixth-rank official in the capital, if this continues, the Lin family will one day succeed.

He was a little confused, he was just telling the truth, why did his mother and sister look so weird?

The censor's reason is extremely simple. The emperor's imperial edict is inconsistent with etiquette and cannot be followed.

In the future, the daughter will not only be involved in the disputes between right and wrong in the royal family, but also follow Xie Xi to the poor and desolate Dunzhou, where she will never be able to see her family again.

This imperial edict not only does not comply with the requirements of the ancestral system, but also conflicts with the decrees in the Dayan Conference.

When she received the imperial edict, Lin Zisu actually felt a little excited. She finally made up her mind. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were in the future, there was nothing to be afraid of if there was someone who was with her through thick and thin.

The emperor rashly granted marriage to his family, and he really didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

When Bi returned to the yard, she immediately closed the doors and windows and asked about Lin Zisu.

Over the years, through steady efforts, his younger brother Lin Wuhuang and himself were promoted along the way, and finally established a firm foothold in the capital.

Lin Wenjing looked up and saw his sister hiding behind her mother's shoulder, winking at him.

He originally wanted to go in and try to persuade Mr. Bi, but he suddenly stopped and turned around and walked out to the study. A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he can't shed tears in front of his wife and children!

The emperor's decree stated that the marriage should be arranged on a certain date. His daughter was still young, so delaying it for three years would not be a problem.

The censor even wrote a thousand words eloquently, listing the famous tyrants in history from ancient times to the present, and finally came to the conclusion that all tyrants are arbitrary and arbitrary.

After hearing her mother's question, Lin Wenjing wanted to continue talking. Lin Zisu coughed slightly and signaled her brother to stop talking.

Therefore, these censors unanimously asked the emperor to take back his order.

The emperor always regarded himself as a benevolent king, but when he heard that the censor compared himself to a tyrant, his face immediately turned dark. He had several thoughts in his mind, and he hesitated whether to kill him as a warning to others.

However, this time it was beyond the emperor's expectation. Except for the few censors talking to themselves, no one intervened. Even Qian Minzhong, who was always polite, was extremely quiet.

The emperor then breathed a sigh of relief, and did not pursue too many questions on those censors. He just ordered Ye Quan to write down those people after going to court, and they must not be judged as outstanding in the performance appraisal at the end of the year.
