Ling Qiufan understood the meaning, slowly shook his head and continued her father's words: "Coincidentally, the two of us, sisters and concubines, have no distinction between concubine and concubine, we have received the same education since childhood, and we have enjoyed the same share. For example. To be married to two courtiers at the same time is perfect for balancing the power in the court."

"That's right." Ling Jiang's voice was already a little hoarse, he really needed a good rest, otherwise he might not be able to stand upright in the lobby and send the two daughters into the fire pit with his own hands tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Ling Jiang became more and more painful, and his brows frowned more and more tightly.Knowing that his heart hurts, Ling Qiu walked around behind the chair, put both hands on Ling Jiang's shoulders, and rubbed them moderately. "Daddy, don't be like this. If you are like this, it will be hard for your daughter to rest assured."

Ling Jiang squeezed out a smile with difficulty, put his big rough hand on the slender hand that was kneading the shoulder and patted it soothingly, "Good boy."

"Father." Ling Qiufan used an ancient saying to comfort her father, she said: "Fortune is where misfortune lies, and fortune rests on blessing. If you go to the capital, you will never know that it is not a blessing."

Since ancient times, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Will this marriage be a blessing for their sisters?

How do you know it's not a blessing?How do you know it's not a blessing?

Ling Jiang chewed and tasted these words over and over in his mouth, only to feel a bit of sweetness in the sourness, which flowed to the root of his tongue, which was unspeakably bitter. "How could it be a blessing...Qiu'er, your thinking is too simple."

"What did daddy say?" Ling Qiufan regretted his slip of the tongue. Originally, he just wanted to comfort his father with an old saying, but found that this sentence seemed to touch a nerve in his father, but made him even more sad.It would be nice if I didn't say this just now.

Ling Jiang didn't know that his daughter was desperately blaming herself because of this comforting words, and continued to talk about his own thoughts, "Since I, the Jiangnan prefect who doesn't ask about the court, can see it, the two adults must see it even more. Thorough. Your sisters don't want to marry, and they don't want to marry either."

"Daddy, did you hear about it?" Ling Qiufan half clenched his massaging palm into a fist, and beat down along the swollen and sore meridians behind Ling Jiang.

"It's not just what I heard." Ling Jiang shook his head, "You guys don't know about it when you live in the boudoir, but it's spread all over the outside world. Wei Yueyan listened to the imperial decree at the gate of the jade gate, and after listening to it, he drew his sword on the spot to resist the decree and was punished by the imperial envoy. Thirty army sticks and stretchers were carried all the way from Yumen Pass to the door of the emperor's imperial study. Qu Quan Xiatai received the decree, and after listening to it, he held the hand of Xuanzhi's father-in-law on the spot and cried out of breath. I knelt in front of the door for two days and two nights without a drop of rice."

It was indeed the first time for Ling Qiufan to hear about this matter, in her opinion, although the two ministers did not like this marriage, they were marrying a daughter-in-law at any rate, and no matter how unwilling they were, they would never reach such a point.Can't help but sigh, "It sounds pitiful."

"Poor?" Ling Jiang smiled, "It's just a trick."

"No, Daddy." Ling Qiufan shook his head, "It's really pitiful."

Ling Jiang remained silent, waiting for her daughter to continue.

"My daughter believes that no matter what these two adults have done wrong to make the emperor dissatisfied, just because they are appointed as women to worship officials and show their ambitions in the three-foot court, they should be able to take on the role of "heroes among women." 'Four characters.'" Ling Qiu's eyes sparkled, and the look of longing was palpable, "They could have chosen a satisfactory husband and son-in-law, and supported each other in the precarious court. When they are old, they will retire and return home to spend their old age together , enjoying the happiness of descendants around their knees."

"A piece of imperial decree deprived them of the happiness of the rest of their lives. We are really pitiful, why don't they feel sad?"

When the words fell, Ling Qiufan sighed softly.

In the world of Great Xia, except for the emperor's family, everyone is like ants.

Prefect's Mansion, Autumn Fragrant Boudoir

Ling Qiufan entered the room with a tired face, and was hugged from behind as soon as she sat on the bed, which made her cry out in shock.After seeing the person clearly, he blamed softly, "Xue Ji? Why did you come into my room?"

"Oh my sister." Ling Xueji stuck to her sister like a brown candy and refused to get off, "We two sisters have rarely slept together since we grew up, let me sleep here today, okay~~ "

Ling Qiufan frowned after being troubled by her, but now hearing what she said, he thought that from now on, when he entered the General's Mansion and then entered the Minister's Mansion, even though they are both in the capital, they are as far apart as the world, and he doesn't know when they will meet again.I don't know if there is another chance to fight like this.Thinking of this, she turned around and hugged her only biological sister into her arms, without saying a word for a long time.

"Sister?" Ling Xueji was surprised and delighted to be hugged suddenly by her sister, but she soon felt the deep sadness coming from her sister, and her joyful mood sank to the bottom of the water.

"Sister, did daddy say anything to you just now?" Ling Xueji was hugged by her sister for a long time, but her mind was spinning rapidly, always wanting to say something to make her sister happy and break the depression at the moment.

"Daddy said that we should wake up early tomorrow and go to the study to find him, and he wants to lecture us." Ling Qiufan rested his chin on his sister's shoulder, greedily smelling the sweet scent on her body.You must remember this taste, and if you live alone in the Shangshu Mansion in the future, this memory will be the only one you can accompany.

"Hahaha." Ling Xueji laughed happily, but found that her laughter was extremely dry, tears had already filled her eyes, and her eyes looked like crescent moons in water revealing pure and simple sadness, "Daddy wants to let us I got up early to listen to his lectures, and I don’t know what to say to us tomorrow, should I stop pestering you to dig out the bird’s nest, or let you teach me how to do female red embroidery.”
