From Lin Fufu's current standpoint, after all, this is the new emperor's own mother, so she has to save some face no matter what.
But if she still wants to continue wrestling with her, then let's talk about it.
After all, the empress dowager is also a smart woman, and she was defeated in the confrontation with Lin Fufu just now. Now that Lin Fufu didn't continue to run on her in consideration of the overall situation, she obeyed and went downhill.
"Well, the second thing Aijia said is about the princess's lifelong event." The empress dowager's face had a kind light on her face, she stared at Lin Fufu's face, and said with a smile, "It's about us, too. If you want to talk about it at will, it is also the concern of the Ai family, the aunt, and the princess should not complain about the Ai family."
The kinder the empress dowager looked, the more funny Lin Fufu was.
But it was Lin Fen who was most surprised.
Today, she told Lin Fufu that the Wen family interfered in Lin Fufu's marriage, and then the empress dowager came to her.
What a rush! Lin Fen thought contemptuously.
"I understand what the empress dowager said. It's a conversation between women anyway, so let's just talk about it. Even if there is something wrong, how can I take it seriously?" Lin Fufu first expressed his position.
This time, although the Empress Dowager was upset again, because the topic hadn't started talking yet, she didn't dare to pick her up secretly, so she could only swallow her anger and smiled, saying: "That's right!"
Lin Fufu took the initiative to say, "The empress dowager is worried that as a woman, I am so old, and the marriage has not yet been settled?"
The empress dowager originally thought that a woman would be taboo about her being too old and unmarried, but she was stunned for a while when she saw that Lin Fufu didn't wait for her to say it first, but she said it openly first.
The two maids who served beside her were also stunned, and they peeked at Lin Fufu in surprise, only to find that His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess had a pleasant expression on her face, and she was not angry at all.
"Uh... It seems that the princess is still not in a hurry." The queen mother saw that the opportunity had been lost, so she had to say: "If the Ai family remembers correctly, the princess will be 20 in the new year, right?"
"That's right, thank you Empress Dowager for remembering my age." Lin Fufu smiled, and a sly light appeared in his bright eyes, "In fact, the elders think that I am not in a hurry, but it may not be. People who understand this palace will understand."
These words are actually implying that the Empress Dowager already has a sweetheart, so she doesn't have to come here to be annoying.
But the Empress Dowager originally planned for her son's country, and she knew who Lin Fufu's sweetheart was, so she couldn't let her marry!
After a cold light flashed in her eyes, the empress dowager took a sip of tea calmly, and Mu Lian hurriedly took her teacup.
"Princess, you are twenty years old and have not settled your marriage. It really doesn't look like you. You are a dignified princess!" The empress dowager looked into Lin Fufu's eyes. Should have made a plan earlier, the princess said, right?"
"That's right, I think so too." Lin Fufu laughed, so she was preparing for a retreat, but she couldn't tell the Queen Mother about this.
When the empress dowager heard the words, a sincere smile finally appeared on her face, she stared at Lin Fufu's face and said happily: "The Ai family knows that the princess is dedicated to Wei, so she will definitely listen to the Ai family's persuasion!"
Lin Fufu smiled and nodded, "Naturally."
"Then, does the princess have a good idea of the son-in-law?" The empress dowager asked Lin Fufu with a smile like an elder who is enthusiastic about the younger generation's marriage.
At the same time, she also breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Fufu really thought so, so that would be the best!
However, she was still worried. After all, Lin Fufu and Prince Jin from the Beirong Kingdom had a quarrel before. below.
Now, the Empress Dowager is also glad that Ruoshui stopped her at that time, otherwise Lin Fufu would have married a Prince of Beirong, and she would have been worried.
When a woman marries into her husband's family, most of her heart is devoted to her husband's family. Who knows if Lin Fufu really married that Prince Jin, would he help Beirong people bully Wei
"It's no wonder the first emperor loves the princess so much. The princess really knows the general idea!" After the empress dowager thought about it, she looked at Lin Fufu with a bit of pleasing to the eye.
Lin Fufu replied with a smile, "The Empress Dowager is absurd."
"You deserve it!" The queen mother narrowed her eyes, and the smile seemed to flow out of her eyes. She stared at Lin Fufu's clear apricot eyes, and asked with concern: "Since that's the case, does the princess have a candidate for a son-in-law?" After a pause, his tone became more gentle, "Although there are many outstanding young men in Dawei, there are not many who are worthy of the princess. Don't worry, the princess, these mourners have thought about it for the princess!"
After the words fell, the empress dowager carefully observed Lin Fufu's expression, and saw that she still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were so dark that they couldn't see the bottom, she couldn't help being startled again.
Does this girl look like the kind of girl who talks about marriage
With her appearance like this, she doesn't blush or feel shy, isn't she too calm
Seeing her burning eyes, Lin Fufu could almost see two holes in her face, couldn't help laughing, then shook his head.
She wanted to see if the empress dowager wanted to name the Wen family's favorite candidates.
Seeing Lin Fufu shaking his head, the Empress Dowager's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile, "Then the princess will listen to the candidate that the Ai family thinks of for the princess."
Lin Fufu still nodded with a smile.
The Queen Mother saw that she was so obedient, but she had a bad premonition in her heart, but she still said, "The first candidate that the Ai family thinks of is naturally Mr. Xiaomeng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials! In terms of family background and status, Xiaomeng It goes without saying that my lord is from the Meng family. Besides, Mr. Meng is still young, so he was valued by the first emperor, and he was promoted to the Minister of Officials at once. Such a capable talent is rare in the Great Wei!"
Seeing that she pushed Meng Bufan out first, Lin Fufu was not surprised, and then the empress dowager must say how inappropriate Meng Bufan was.
Sure enough, seeing that Lin Fufu didn't speak, the Empress Dowager's eyes flickered again, she stretched out her little fingers with nail covers and tapped on the table, and her face became serious.
"It's just that, no matter how good Mr. Xiao Meng is, it's still inappropriate for the Ai family to think about it." After the queen mother finished speaking, she took a special look at Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu was still smiling.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the Empress Dowager continued, "Since ancient times, Princess Shang's son-in-law only looks good, but she doesn't need to be talented. The best candidate is to love the princess and love the princess. Needless to say, the Meng family background, The Ai family thought that Mr. Meng would be successful in his official career, so he would definitely not accept the princess. Even if he wanted to honor the princess, he, the only seedling of the eldest son of the Meng family, would not agree!"
When Lin Fufu heard her say this, she sighed inwardly. She hoped that the Meng family would not agree, and that Meng Bufan would not agree with Princess Shang.
After all, what the empress dowager said was the truth. The son-in-law of Princess Shang in the Great Wei Dynasty, even if she was a talented person, took the initiative to avoid suspicion because she was the princess, and would not pursue official career.
Even Gui Consort, who was honored by Princess Ruoshui, was an amazingly talented person back then. If he was an official, he would at least be a powerful official in the borderlands, but for Princess Ruoshui, he had to cut off the scientific research all the way.
"Princess, are you right about what Aijia said?" Seeing that Lin Fufu still didn't answer, the empress dowager frowned, but she still calmed down and asked gently.
"Oh! What the Empress Dowager said is true!" Lin Fufu came back to his senses and nodded with a smile.
This made the Empress Dowager frown even tighter. After talking for a long time, she couldn't figure out what this girl was thinking.
But then, she said that a royal family member, the county king, was coming.
"Although King Haijun is a member of the royal family, he is far away from the ancestors of the Great Wei Emperor. Back then, his ancestors rescued the ancestors on the battlefield and rescued the injured ancestors from the dead. Recite it, so the ancestor emperor granted their family the hereditary title of county king from generation to generation. And he happened to be of the same generation as the princess. He is also very handsome and has a gentle personality. The noble ladies in the capital, She is also extremely admired, if the princess is willing, it will be a good match!"
Lin Fufu hummed this time, shook his head and said, "I don't want to marry a relative of the Great Wei clan."
This is just an excuse to reject the empress dowager,
She is not ashamed to say that she has such an excellent man as Huangfu Jin, and she can't look down on anyone. What is a hereditary king of Haijun from the Great Wei
The empress dowager didn't need to repeat the speech she had prepared, she was a little confused all of a sudden.
Originally, there were many reasons to say that the King of Haijun was not suitable, but Lin Fufu could solve it with a single sentence.
Having said so much, I happened to be thirsty, and with a look at her, Mu Lian, the court lady, hurriedly brought tea to her.
The Empress Dowager drank tea and followed what she wanted to say. After she put down the teacup, she looked at Lin Fufu with a smile and said, "Since the princess is not willing to marry into the Great Wei clan, the next few candidates are just right. It is the identity of the great Wei clan, so the Ai family will not talk about it. Let's just talk about the last one."
Lin Fufu couldn't help raising his eyebrows. The candidates for the clan that the Empress Dowager talked about probably didn't exist at all, but they just made up the numbers when Lin Fufu said he wouldn't marry the clan.
As for the finale candidate, hum!
"It's a coincidence that Ai's family thought of a lot of candidates for the princess' son-in-law for fear of wronging the princess. However, a few days ago, Ai's mother handed over a sign to see Ai's family in the palace, and Ai's family mentioned the uncle of Ai's family. Because my second cousin is so good-looking and talented in writing, it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant, and he doesn't like this one, he doesn't like that one, and the marriage has been dragged on until his mid-twenties, and there is no score yet."
After finishing speaking, the empress dowager paused for a moment, then drank tea to moisten her mouth, and observed Lin Fufu's expression by the way.
The smile on Lin Fufu's face remained undiminished, and he also reached out to serve tea, elegant and calm.
People who don't know, think that what the empress dowager told her was not about her life, but someone else's.
"At that time, the Ai family thought of the princess! My second cousin's eyes grew on his forehead. He is so arrogant and arrogant. He has never met a woman who can hold him down." Empress Dowager Covering the corners of her lips with a bright yellow imperial silk handkerchief, she looked Lin Fufu up and down, "I'm afraid only someone like a princess can subdue him!"
"Lianqiao, show the princess the portrait of Second Cousin Young Master." The Empress Dowager immediately turned to Lianqiao after finishing speaking.
Forsythia immediately responded, turned around and took out a picture scroll from the little maid behind her.
The smile on Lin Fufu's face deepened, and the corners of his lips raised slightly. The empress dowager really took great pains to prepare.
However, she took a special look at the maids and little eunuchs brought by the Empress Dowager, and only the little maid behind Lianqiao was holding the scroll.
In other words, the queen mother's preparations are still not complete. This is clearly to promote her own second cousin.
Mulian and Lianqiao personally opened the scroll, and Lin Fufu glanced at it. The painting on it was indeed a handsome and extraordinary young man.
It's just that although he is handsome, even in the picture scroll, his eyebrows flying slanting into his temples are very sharp, and the expression in his eyes is very melancholy. Lin Fufu knew that this man was condescending and contemptuous of others.
No wonder they are in their mid-twenties and haven't gotten married yet.
"Well, this son is handsome, but he's not too young. How come he hasn't married yet?" Lin Fufu's eyes flashed with surprise.
Lianqiao and Mulian saw that she seemed to be interested, and thought she was interested in that cousin of the Empress Dowager, they quickly looked at each other, and the corners of their lips were a little smug.
The empress dowager saw that Lin Fufu hadn't spoken much before, but she did ask her second cousin. Although she thought it was a good thing, she still didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Hey, the eldest aunt of the Ai family is the second cousin of the elderly student. The eldest uncle of the Ai family is also a middle-aged son, and it is inevitable that he will feel a little hurt. When he grows up, he is not only handsome in appearance, but also talented in writing. It's even more unusual, and I love him even more in my heart, and I don't deliberately force him in everything, just let him develop that weird temperament. He thinks that most women in this world are vulgar fans, look at it , what a jerk?"
The empress dowager deliberately made what her second cousin said was arrogant and unrestrained.
Because she felt that since Lin Fufu was unusual to Prince Jin of Beirong earlier, he naturally took a fancy to Prince Jin's wild and unruly character.
She also personally experienced this point when Huangfu Jin was sent to Great Wei.
Therefore, she also deliberately played up her second cousin to be similar to the character of Huangfu Jin she thought.
Lin Fufu smiled and nodded, "So that's the case."
"Isn't it?" The Empress Dowager looked at Lin Fufu with burning eyes, waiting for Lin Fufu to ask something else.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fufu squeezed his lips into a smile, and with one sentence, the Empress Dowager's mood fell into the abyss.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for loving me. But, I can't choose my cousin. If I choose him, wouldn't I be of the same generation as the Empress Dowager? Should I call my aunt the Empress Dowager, or the Queen Mother?" How is your cousin?" Lin Fufu was serious, then shook his head again and again, "This can't be done, it's too messy!"
After hearing what she said, the empress dowager almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and then coughed violently, her face turned red instantly.
What and what
However, what Lin Fufu said is also true.
If Lin Fufu really chose her second cousin to be his son-in-law, it would really be embarrassing if people found out about this relationship.
She had thought about this issue before, but her mother said it was okay, there were many such marriages among the people, so she didn't think too much about it.
But Lin Fufu said it so bluntly, it really made her feel ashamed!
Lin Fufu was in a good mood after successfully making the empress dowager look like this.
Lin Fen also lowered her head and pursed her lips in joy.
Although she didn't speak all the time, and it was not her turn to speak, she was already upset with the empress dowager's blatant plotting against Lin Fufu.
The Empress Dowager was coughing endlessly, Mulian and Lianqiao urgently helped her to straighten her chest and back, seeing that she was still coughing non-stop, they almost cried.
The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more angry she coughed, the more she couldn't stop, she really had to cough up blood to be reconciled.
Seeing that the empress dowager was coughing, Mu Lian almost shrank into a ball, and finally remembered Lin Fufu's great medical skills, so she hurriedly knelt down in front of Lin Fufu, "His Royal Highness! The empress dowager suddenly coughed so much that she was about to cough up blood." , and ask Your Highness to help the Empress Dowager to see what is going on here?"
Lin Fufu nodded towards Lin Mei with a smile on his face. Lin Mei immediately stepped forward, reached out and tapped the empress dowager's shoulder blades twice, and the empress dowager finally stopped coughing.
Mulian and Lianqiao looked at Lin Mei with fear in their eyes.
"My maid is also good at medicine." Lin Fufu explained, and asked with a smile, "Lin Mei, is the Queen Mother in good health?"
Lin Mei replied solemnly: "Back to the girl! The empress dowager has a stagnation in her chest, it's better to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine to recuperate!"
Lin Fufu glanced at her, then looked at the empress dowager and said, "My girl likes to exaggerate small things, it's really scary."
But the Empress Dowager couldn't sit still when she saw her saying this. She was really angry just now, and now she has a dull pain in her stomach.
The girl said that she needed medicine from the imperial doctor for her stagnation in her chest, that must be no small matter!
I don't know if Lin Fufu said it on purpose or not!
The more the empress dowager thought about it, the more she felt that Lin Fufu wanted to harm her, and when she coughed just now, she also realized that Lin Fufu deliberately listened to the last candidate in a calm manner, so that the last one must hit, so that she, the great Wei The empress dowager will never dare to intervene in her marriage again in the future!
The empress dowager felt that she had only seen Lin Fufu thoroughly now, and hated her so much that the little goodwill she had accumulated before was gone.
"The Ai family knows that the princess doesn't want the Ai family to intervene in your marriage. Since that's the case, it's fine for the princess to just say it straight. She really didn't intend to make false claims with the Ai family! I've let down all the good intentions of the Ai family!" After saying something to vent her anger, the empress dowager stood up abruptly, and coldly ordered: "Send me back to the palace!"
Lin Fufu didn't know the difference either, and said with a smile that he would send off the empress dowager, and Lin Fen hurriedly saluted and followed suit.
"Just now, did you really tease the empress dowager on purpose?" Lin Fen remembered the appearance of the empress dowager just now, and couldn't help but smiled again.
