Chapter 483 Slap in the face!
"After we come back from the Inner Court, we will start making the newspaper. By then, Lu Huai should have finished it." Lin Zhiqing said.
Speaking of the Inner Court, Lu Nanyue sighed heavily: "I don't want to go to the Imperial Palace at all. I really don't feel comfortable there."
Lin Yangyang pursed her lips and said, "I'm going to ask for mercy and see if I can go with you."
"That's not necessary, cousin." Lin Zhiqing said, "Inside the palace, even if the Daliang envoy wanted to do anything, it would be out of reach. There won't be any major problems."
"I won't bring Chao Yan with me. I'll just bring someone who knows martial arts."
"Also, cousin, you should visit Yan Hang more often when you have time."
Lin Yangyang nodded one by one: "Yan Yu insisted on searching for their old belongings. He really wanted Xiao Hang to wake up."
"I haven't seen him since returning from the palace banquet."
"Tell him about the marriage and tell him not to be impulsive." Lin Zhiqing reminded him worriedly.
The person who pretended to be Yan Hang last time was from Daliang. Although we can’t figure out the purpose of the Daliang person, Yan Hang’s matter is definitely related to Daliang.
Yan Yu is a vengeful person, and Lin Zhiqing is afraid that he will be too impulsive and get into trouble.
"Okay, I'll remember it." Lin Zhiqing nodded.
After a brief explanation, Lin Zhiqing and Lu Nanyue planned to go to the Inner Teaching House.
There's no way to avoid it, so you might as well go and take a look at the situation.
However, just before leaving, the two were invited to the study by Lin Qingshan's men.
In the study, besides Lin Qingshan, Lu Zhen was also there.
"Father, why are you here?" Lu Nanyue was a little surprised.
Lu Zhen patted Lu Nanyue's head and said, "Girl, you are the only one who can come here to find friends. I am also here to find friends."
"Nanyue, your father came to discuss the marriage with me." Lin Qingshan explained.
Then, he looked at Lin Zhiqing, his eyes filled with determination to fight to the death:
"Zhiqing, Brother Lu and I have thought about this. Even if it costs our lives, we will never let you marry into Daliang!"
"Dad!" Lu Nanyue's eyes reddened and she looked at Lu Zhen.
"Why are you crying? Xiao Huai and I are here. We will never let you jump into the wolf's pit, silly girl." Lu Zhen smiled.
Lu Nanyue, however, shook her head with red eyes: "Dad, you don't have to do anything. This matter has far-reaching implications. Zhiqing has some plans in mind."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhen and Lin Qingshan were both a little surprised.
"Grandfather, let's talk about the details after I come back from the Inner Court." Lin Zhiqing looked at Lin Qingshan:
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Hearing this, Lin Qingshan knew that Lin Zhiqing had his own ideas.
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Qing girl, just go for it. No matter what, I have your grandfather to back you up!"
Lin Zhiqing smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Okay!"
After leaving the Lin family, Lin Zhiqing and Lu Nanyue were in a good mood.
However, this good mood came to an abrupt end when we arrived at the Neijiaofang.
As soon as they entered the door, they heard a shrill sound.
"Bai Ling, I really feel sorry for you. If Lin Zhiqing hadn't insisted on being in the spotlight, would you have been implicated?"
Lin Zhiqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Princess Pingning who spoke.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing coming, Princess Pingning was not afraid at all. Instead, she patted Bai Ling's hand.
Bai Ling frowned, but didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and did her own thing, ignoring anyone.
Lin Zhiqing saw her actions.
Princess Pingning was asking for trouble, but she still didn't give up and set her sights on Lu Nanyue again:
"Lu Nanyue, you are as stupid as ever, still following behind Lin Zhiqing as a foil."
"The Daliang envoy was clearly going after Lin Zhiqing. If you weren't close to her, would you have been chosen?"
"Watch your mouth." Lu Nanyue was not one to tolerate.
"According to what you said, if you hadn't been chosen to marry, none of us would have suffered this disaster today."
"It's not a good thing in the first place, yet you still have the mind to sow discord. You really have too much free time!"
After saying that, she pulled Lin Zhiqing and found two seats at the back.
Princess Pingning was not happy and followed Lu Nanyue's steps:
"Lu Nanyue, I am the princess personally appointed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Not only did you not show respect to me, but you even dared to insult me?"
"I remember that the imperial edict of enthronement has not been issued yet, Princess, you are too impatient." Lu Nanyue did not even look at Princess Pingning when she spoke.
Princess Pingning felt like she was punching cotton and stamped her feet vigorously.
"So what if you're not a princess? You only have a brother who's a minister, and you dare to give this princess the cold shoulder?"
"My Lady Princess, you were the one who caused trouble as soon as you arrived, and now you are blaming me?" Lu Nanyue did not give in at all.
Lin Zhiqing also stared at Princess Pingning and narrowed his eyes.
The noble ladies around smelled the smell of gunpowder and had different thoughts.
There were people who kept out of the matter and some who echoed Princess Pingning's words and blamed Lin Zhiqing.
"Lu Nanyue, how do you talk to the princess?"
"It must have been Lin Zhiqing who taught her. What could possibly happen if two people who don't know the rules get together?"
"A man who has no money and no business must not know the rules. Princess, please don't be angry."
Hearing these words, Lu Nanyue couldn't help but laugh: "You are all maids of Princess Pingning now, and you are rushing to please her?"
"Why, do you still think I need to cling tightly to Princess Pingning... No, Princess Pingning's thighs when I get to Daliang?"
This was said without mercy.
Those people were so embarrassed when their secrets were exposed that they started blaming Lu Nanyue one after another.
Lin Zhiqing's gaze lingered on those people's faces for a moment, and she found that except for Princess Pingning, Lu Nanyue, Bai Ling and herself, the backgrounds of others were unknown.
Are they all daughters of minor officials... That's what I thought, Lin Zhiqing frowned.
If the noble daughter of an important official is sent away again, there will be complaints in the court, which will definitely be unpleasant.
It seems that the royal family is not unaware of the disadvantages of sending noble ladies to marry.
But even so, were those five cities still chosen?
Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes.
But her silence annoyed Princess Pingning, who was so angry that she could only vent her anger on Lu Nanyue who had just contradicted her:
"Someone, come here! Teach Lu Nanyue a lesson and teach her some rules!"
When Lu Nanyue heard this, she stood up immediately:
"You're having a bad time, so you take it out on me, right? I'm telling you, don't mess with me!"
This was what Princess Pingning hated the most. She looked at the palace maid outside the door and said arrogantly:
"Catch Lu Nanyue and slap her in the face!"
Hearing this, the palace maids outside the door looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing that she couldn't call anyone over, Princess Pingning could only wink at the maid she brought with her.
The maid was smart enough to know that Princess Pingning was in a bad mood, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves and hit Lu Nanyue in the face.
“Bang!”
