The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 328 The Heiresses (24)

During this short journey, I don't know how many civil and military officials watched in amazement at the scene of someone being carried to the court hall.

Many people were thinking to themselves, who was sitting in that sedan chair, could it be some veteran figure from the two dynasties?Only in this way will someone come to pick you up in a soft sedan chair, or will it be delivered directly to the entrance of the main hall?
You must know that before Her Majesty the Empress enters the palace, everyone else is required to stay at the bottom of the imperial steps, and only when Her Majesty's edict female officer comes to announce that they are going to court, can everyone file into the palace.

When the sedan stopped and the people inside walked out, everyone saw clearly that the person sitting inside was a young, fair-skinned and thin woman.

Not many of these people knew Lin Shu, but not none.

The Prime Minister, who is the head of all officials, is one of them.

She almost recognized the person in front of her at a glance, and she was actually the Fourth Royal Highness who had never been to court before.

With a very keen political sense, she immediately smelled an unusual smell.

It seems that something big is bound to happen in today's court meeting.

Lin Shu, who came out of the sedan chair, shook her loose official robe, and leaned against the door of the main hall with her eyes squinted, looking as if she was sleepy.

Her appearance of not abiding by the rules of the upper court and not standing up, immediately caused many officials present to discuss in private.

An old Hanlin even asked a little angrily, "Does anyone among you know the origin of this person? She can sit in a sedan chair when others walk into the hall. Everyone is so unruly outside the hall, even if it is under the empress' knees." The princesses don't dare to be so presumptuous, do they?"

At this time, the prime minister looked back at the old Hanlin leisurely, "You are very wise, and the one in front is really a princess of our Changzhao country."

Old Hanlin was taken aback when he heard the words, that young woman who looked thin and weak was really an imperial concubine?
Others present reacted faster than him, pinching away the second, fourth, fifth, and ninth princesses, as well as the deceased seventh and eighth princesses, and found that the only remaining adult princess was the fourth princess.

The person who reacted first blurted out immediately, "So she is the fourth princess!"

Four princesses?Old Hanlin looked a little puzzled. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that His Highness had never attended a court meeting since he left the palace and opened his mansion, right?

Even Her Majesty the Empress had granted her permission not to come to court, but she suddenly appeared here this morning, what was the reason for this?

While everyone was still thinking about why Lin Shu appeared here, the female official responsible for announcing the court appearance appeared outside the main hall wearing a crimson official robe.

"Her Majesty has a decree, and all officials, civil and military, have an audience!"

Accompanied by this clear female voice, the officials below the imperial steps all held their breaths in silence and began to line up.

At this time, the morning sun rises in the eastern sky, reflecting on the vermilion glazed tiles of the palace, shining brightly.

Lin Shu, who was leaning against the door of the hall and squinting, now followed the crowd into the hall.

Because the original owner had previously received an idle position in the court, and her status was above the middle level, so she stood behind the six servants right now.

These few officials had just learned of this person's identity from others, and they neither courted her nor approached her to curry favor, but each stood in their own positions.

After Lin Shu found a place where she could stand, she scanned the people standing in front of her.

Standing in front of her were high-ranking officials such as Shangshu and Prime Minister, and those who stood diagonally opposite them were the second, fifth, and sixth emperors whom Lin Shu had met, as well as those whom Lin Shu had never dealt with before. Nine emperors.

The sixth princess on the opposite side also immediately saw Lin Shu who really came to the court to stand for her.

As soon as the fifth princess next to her saw the inadvertent joy on the sixth prince's face, when she looked at Lin Shu, her eyes were not so kind.

Her fourth emperor sister not only ignored her well-intentioned advice, but also wanted to come in and muddy the water.

If something happens to the other party in the future, don't expect her, the imperial sister, to have any sympathy for her!

Before the sixth princess could open her mouth to say something to Lin Shu, on the golden throne at the head of the crowd, the queen wearing a gold silk phoenix robe and a twelve-pronged crown walked slowly to the throne with majestic steps. before falling.

And in a hidden room on the right side of the empress, which was separated by a bead curtain, Huang Zhengfu, who was dressed in a floor-length phoenix dress, also took a seat.

After the two most honorable persons of the Zhao Kingdom were seated, all the civil and military officials present kneeled down and bowed to the two above, shouting, "Long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty the Queen! Thousand years, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years for the emperor's husband!" !"

After the ceremony was completed and the empress announced that "all the nobles are in peace", today's court meeting has entered the right track.

Listening to the officials below stepping out in an orderly manner one by one, and reporting the recent major events in the country to the queen at the top, Lin Shu, who was standing in the line of officials, felt a little sleepy.

She really got up too early today, and the upper and lower eyelids of the left and right eyes have been fighting fiercely.

In the court hall, after an official who advocated the reform of the ritual and music system stepped down, the Nine Emperors followed her to report the progress of her work on spring plowing.

"...The areas where the spring drought has occurred have been irrigated with keel waterwheels, and the spring planting in other areas of our country has been completed one after another. I have also asked Qin Tianjian, who is in charge of the four seasons of the sky, what will happen in the next few days?" In a few days, the weather in my Changzhao country should be smooth..."

The Ninth Emperor's Girl has a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing. She speaks in a slow and slow manner, which makes people feel very comfortable.

But this comfortable voice sounded like hypnotic songs to Lin Shu's ears, causing her to close her eyes unconsciously, and fell asleep standing there.

Her body was asleep, but she didn't rest mentally. Instead, she was thinking about the performances of the empress, several imperial daughters, and the ministers in the court.

Lin Shu knew that the culprit behind the murder of the two princesses she was looking for was in this court.

But she still has no idea who this person is.

After reporting on her work, the Ninth Queen was praised by the Queen.

Seeing that the Ninth Queen received the Queen's approval again, the Fifth Queen couldn't help but come out and volunteered to say, "Your Majesty, I heard that an envoy from Guishuang Kingdom will go to our country in ten days, and I would like to serve as the envoy to meet your Envoy of the Frost Kingdom, I hope His Majesty will grant you!"

The expression on the face of the aloof empress is hidden behind the jade beads, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

She asked in a calm voice, "What do you Aiqing think about this matter?"

After the queen's voice fell, courtiers began to appear one after another, saying that the fifth emperor's daughter was the best candidate to serve as the envoy.

Hearing that the ministers were all speaking for the fifth prince, the sixth prince's heart suddenly became anxious.

She quickly winked at several of her ministers. These people were a little confused after seeing such a reaction in the court, and were waiting for some hints from the Sixth Princess.

Therefore, after receiving the look from the sixth emperor's envoy, they rushed out one by one, expressing that they would recommend the sixth emperor's daughter as the candidate to receive the envoy, because the sixth emperor's daughter is more suitable than the fifth emperor's daughter.

Now the two groups in the court were completely at odds.

Both sides held their own opinions, and firmly elected the emperor they recognized to take on this important task. The other ministers who were not involved in this matter used to watch their noses and noses and their hearts, and put this matter that had nothing to do with them on high Get up and pinch with these two.

Seeing that the situation was about to fall into a stalemate, and there was no more important person to speak out, the empress had to make her own decision, and the sixth princess hurriedly looked at the helper her family invited last night.

However, after she turned her head, she realized that her helper had fallen asleep standing there!
Even the current quarrel between the court and the court is so fierce, it has not affected this person's sleep in the slightest.

Seeing that Lin Shu was sleeping soundly, the sixth princess was so anxious that she wanted to take off her shoes and throw them on Lin Shu, but she still had to try her best to maintain her composure, so as not to let the queen above see the clue.

Just when the sixth princess felt helpless, the second queen who was in front of her suddenly stepped out at this time.

After the latter bowed to the Queen, he said, "Your Majesty, I think that since you have trusted and recommended the two imperial sisters, it would be better for your Majesty to send these two people together to welcome the Kuishang envoy. This is a move. To highlight the importance our country of Changzhao attaches to this matter, secondly to demonstrate the deep friendship between our country and the Kushan Kingdom, and thirdly to demonstrate our country’s warm hospitality and magnanimity, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.”

The prime minister and others who stood at the forefront of the officials knew that the other party was in trouble again when they heard what the second imperial daughter said.

The five emperors and the sixth emperors are both ulterior motives, and the mere position of receiving the envoys is just a trick. What they are really fighting for is, after all, the favor of Her Majesty the empress.

However, with the words of the second princess, this ugly scene of sisters fighting can be found a step down.

Considering the proposal of the second princess, Her Majesty the Empress should be satisfied.

Sure enough, just as these sophisticated officials guessed in their hearts, the empress really accepted the proposal of the second emperor.She ordered that the fifth emperor's daughter and the sixth emperor's daughter be sent to serve as the left and right envoys respectively, and they will be responsible for many matters related to the reception of the Guishuang country's envoys.

After the empress settled the matter, no matter how unwilling the two empresses were, they dared not raise any objections now.

Afterwards, no one continued to play, so Her Majesty the Queen announced her withdrawal from the court.

When she got up from the throne, she caught a glimpse of Lin Shu who was sleeping standing among the ministers.

With a thought in her mind, she was just about to say something, but the veiled Huang Zhengfu who came out of the hidden room came to her side at this moment, and stretched out his left arm to hold her right arm, To show the harmony between the queen and the emperor's husband.

Amidst the loud voices of courtiers sending them off, the empress glanced at her daughter who had just woken up in a daze, and finally turned her head away and left the place.

Lin Shu was awakened by the sound of ministers kneeling down.

She almost fell asleep just now, if it wasn't for the fact that she was still thinking about helping the sixth princess, she might have fallen to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

But when she opened her eyes at this moment, what she saw was that the civil and military ministers around her were all retreating, talking and laughing.She looked at the golden throne above again, and it was indeed empty.

Lin Shu rubbed her swollen forehead. Did she sleep for so long?
When you wake up, you have already turned down?
She still doesn't know what's going on with the sixth princess.

Just when she was thinking about this matter, the sixth princess happened to walk towards her.

The latter complained a few words as soon as he came up, saying that Lin Shu was unreliable at a critical moment and did not stand up to speak for him, so that in the end he went to meet the envoy of Guishuang Kingdom with the fifth emperor.

When Lin Shu heard her saying these words, she was still yawning.

"It's true that I didn't help you much by coming here, but I think it would be good for the two of you to go pick them up together. At least you don't have to fight anymore."

The sixth princess just shook her head when she heard the words, because this result was not what she wanted.

Lin Shu knew that the matter had been settled, so she said to the Sixth Queen, "Since this matter has been settled, you still have to work hard, Sixth Queen. Even if you go to pick up people with Fifth Queen, you can't easily do things." Slack."

Seeing that the sixth princess nodded in response, she yawned again and said, "It's time for me to go back to sleep. By the way, are the palace servants and the soft sedan you sent to pick me up earlier still there? Can they let them take me directly from the entrance of the main hall to the outside of the palace gate when I came to court?"

Who would have thought that after listening to Lin Shu's words, the sixth princess would have a puzzled look on her face.

"Sister Four Emperors, what are you talking about? When did I send the palace slaves to pick you up in a sedan chair?"

Lin Shu forced her to hold back her yawn just now.

She stared at the sixth princess with wide eyes and asked, "You mean you didn't send a sedan chair to pick me up at all? Then when I came to court in the morning, four palace servants came to pick me up with a sedan chair , and said that he was ordered by the emperor, isn't that person you?"

Seeing the sixth princess shaking her head resolutely, Lin Shu suddenly thought of the fact that she had been drowsy since she got into the sedan chair.

One must know that she was not so sleepy when she was on the carriage that came here from the mansion, could it be that something that would make people sleepy was placed in the sedan chair?

But if this is the case, who is the person who asked the people to carry the sedan chair?
Why did the other party want her to sleep in the court hall all the time?

Lin Shu, who was deep in thought, raised her head and saw the sixth princess who was also thinking about this matter, her eyes suddenly brightened.

Could it be that the reason why that person did this was because he didn't want her to help the Sixth Princess speak in the court?
In this way, this person is very likely to be the fifth emperor's daughter.

Of course, the possibility of someone else doing this cannot be ruled out.

Lin Shu whispered the speculation in her heart to the sixth princess. After hearing Lin Shu's words, the latter immediately suspected that the matter had nothing to do with the fifth prince. It must be the fourth sister who was sent by the other party to pick her up. Moved!

It’s really hateful and hateful!
Seeing that the sixth princess was gnashing her teeth with hatred, Lin Shu told her solemnly, "You will go with her to pick up the envoy from Guishuang Kingdom this time, and you must be careful on the way. If you encounter any disturbances, if you find that the situation is not right, you To escape immediately to avoid accidents, do you remember?"

The sixth emperor nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Sihuang sister, I can save all of these, and there will be no accidents on the way."

However, the Sixth Princess said this too early. At this time, she had no idea what terrible things would happen on the day she welcomed the envoy.
