In the evening, Xiao Huang took Fu Lin to bid farewell to Master Tonghui. The two of them boarded the carriage and left Xiangguo Temple all the way back to Beijing. Xiao Huang first sent Fu Lin to Fu's house. The eldest son of a fifth-rank official.

Fu Lin didn't say much, and followed Xiao Huang to Fu's house. When he got off the carriage, he couldn't help looking back at Xiao Huang who was behind him, with a soft smile on his brows and eyes, it's good that Ah Huang is still alive.

The Fu family, Master Fu and Mrs. Fu knew that Fu Lin was well, and were overjoyed, they all ran out to surround him.

Fu Lin looked at them indifferently. Although he was gentle in front of Xiao Huang, he was only gentle when facing her. Because of his previous life, he was very indifferent to people, and he couldn't mention the joy of the Fu family. wake up his emotions.

But Master Fu and Mrs. Fu also understand very well, he has been stupid for many years, how much affection can he have with them.

"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine."

Fu Xuan was jealous, and said sourly: "Brother, you have to thank Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, if Her Majesty the Empress Dowager didn't come forward to ask Master Tonghui to save you, you would still be a fool now."

Hearing Fu Xuan's words, Fu Lin thought of Xiao Huang, and his expression softened involuntarily.

Fu Xuan naturally saw it, and said with gusto: "Brother, you don't like Her Royal Highness, right? Dad said that with our family's status, it is impossible to be the husband of the princess, so don't even think about it." Think about it?"

Fu Lin only listened to Fu Xuan's last words, he raised his hand and grabbed Fu Xuan and asked, "What is the concubine?"

Fu Xuan looked at his indifferent but cold eyes, and was frightened, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty and the Empress intend to choose the imperial concubine for the Empress. It is impossible for our family to marry the princess as the emperor's husband."

After hearing Fu Xuan's words, Fu Lin subconsciously turned around and left, wanting to find Xiao Huang, but stopped after walking a few steps.

That's right, right now he is only the son of a fifth-rank official, but Ah Huang is the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But even if she is the crown princess, he won't let her go this time.

But it’s not enough to go to her so recklessly now, he has to practice the extermination skills of his previous life as soon as possible, so that he can protect Ah Huang well in the future, and Ah Huang doesn’t know that he likes her, so he won’t let her go for now. Knowing what she was thinking, he went to her rashly. If she was unhappy, he had to let her understand his thoughts slowly. As for those who approached her and wanted to be her royal wife, he had to have enough The ability to drive them away from her one by one. .

Fu Lin thought about it, turned around and asked Master Fu and Mrs. Fu: "Where do I live?"

Mrs. Fu subconsciously wanted to tell him where he lived, but Mrs. Fu spoke up first: "Rearrange a yard for Lin'er."

Mrs. Fu thought it was true. It turned out that Fu Lin lived in the most remote courtyard of the Fu family. Now that he is well, he is the eldest son of the Fu family. Naturally, he has to rearrange a courtyard.

Mrs. Fu went to arrange Fu Lin's residence in person.

In the palace, Xiao Huang was reporting to Xiao Wenyu and Shangguan Yunyan about going to Xiangguo Temple.

Seeing her happily saying that Fu Lin is a good thing, the empress is silent, this daughter will not like the eldest son of the Fu family.

Xiao Wenyu's first instinct was to disagree, how could the son of a fifth-rank official become the concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Shangguan Yunyan thought suspiciously, her daughter wouldn't be ignorant of her own thoughts. Seeing how happy she was when she mentioned this young master of the Fu family, she should like him, but she asked her, why did she say she only wanted to be He is the younger brother, which sister is so happy to talk about the younger brother.

When she talked about her second brother, she was not so happy.

Shangguan Yunyan thought about it without reminding Xiao Huang, and said slowly: "Huang'er, Fu Lin is well, you don't need to worry about his affairs anymore, now you should worry about your husband's affairs, the queen mother and you Father has already selected a few candidates for you, do you want to find some time to get to know these people?"

Xiao Huang was stunned for a moment, thinking that this matter should indeed be arranged, although she had no enthusiasm when thinking of this matter, but as a princess, the choice of the emperor's husband is a matter of time.

"Okay, the queen mother will make arrangements."

Shangguan Yunyan nodded: "My mother will let you know after making arrangements, you have been busy all day, go and rest."

Xiao Huang happily took the maid and turned back to rest.

Xiao Wenyu on the side asked Shangguan Yunyan: "Don't think about letting that so-called Fu Lin marry Huang'er as the emperor's husband, our daughter should be worthy of being a dragon and phoenix."

Shangguan Yunyan couldn't help laughing after hearing Xiao Wenyu's words.

Xiao Wenyu asked with a puzzled look, "What are you laughing at?"

Shangguan Yunyan said with a smile: "I see you like this, and I think of the righteous husband that mother said. Mother said that righteous husband thinks that any man is not good enough for sister Linglong. Now you think that no one is good enough for Huang'er. You men! , When facing my wife, I feel that I am worthy, but when facing my daughter, I feel that none of them are worthy of my daughter."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yunyan looked at Xiao Wenyu with a restrained smile and said: "I don't mind a man's low status, as long as he loves my Huang'er enough, Huang'er is capable and can take care of others, so the emperor only needs to love her." , just take good care of him, if Fu Lin can meet this condition, I will not refuse to let him become the imperial concubine."

Xiao Wenyu was about to say more, when Shangguan Yunyan on the side sighed: "It's a pity that my daughter is a piece of wood. She told me that she just regarded Fu Lin as her younger brother."

So she had to make her realize what she thought of Fu Lin.

Xiao Huang didn't know what her mother's thoughts were, she didn't pay much attention to the selection of the emperor's husband at all, now that Fu Lin's matter was settled, what she was thinking about was the examination of the Hongwen Museum. Thinking of this, Xiao Huang suddenly thought of something One thing, why did her verbal instructions go on, and no woman has come to the Hongwen Museum for assessment. Is there no strange woman in Dazhou? Come here, it's impossible not to have one.

Xiao Huang felt that this was unusual, and immediately looked at Jiangxue, the eldest palace maid, and said, "Take someone to investigate, why no one came to the Hongwen Hall to participate in the assessment, and see if someone has made a move to prevent those people from entering the capital. people."

At the end of Xiao Huang's speech, his eyes turned cold, if he asked him to grab that hand, let's see how she handles it.

Jiangxue went to investigate the matter. One day later, it was found that some women had indeed stopped those women who entered Beijing to participate in the assessment, and it was not just blocking, but also intimidation and threats. If those women dared to participate in the Hongwen Museum assessment, not only It's her, even the family behind them, who will also be implicated.

These women who entered Beijing for assessment were frightened. After all, this is the era of patriarchal supremacy. Although the princes succeeded in becoming the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the low status of women for hundreds of years made these women subconsciously believe that those people They can mobilize their families, so all the women who entered Beijing to participate in the assessment returned to their hometowns.

When Xiao Huang received the news, she was furious, raised her hand and smashed the things around her: "These bastards dare to disobey Gu's order like this, Jiangxue, please go and ask the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to come over."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."
