Chapter 602: Marrying the Fairy Sister
And his niece was not there. Even if he used his heels to think, he knew who it was. Who else could it be other than his good niece Gao Hui!
Lin Hao originally thought that once this layer of window paper was broken, neither Gao Hui nor Concubine Xian would be able to accept it.
But what Lin Hao didn't expect was that Gao Hui was still busy hiding under the table. When she heard that Concubine Xian was saying something wrong to her, she still didn't react much.
So Lin Hao continued to stimulate:
"By the way, has the virtuous concubine told our eldest niece that I am actually her biological uncle?"
Concubine Xian glanced at Gao Hui, whose skirt was exposed, and then calmly withdrew her gaze. She had already guessed that Lin Hao wanted to hug her left and right.
"Bah, it's really like a dog can't spit out ivory, what biological uncle, if I hadn't wanted to protect the Gao family, why would I have boarded your pirate ship!"
The virtuous concubine hummed angrily, saying that she always felt awkward when she thought about the aunt and nephew serving Lin Hao together.
"Then how comfortable is this pirate ship of mine?" Lin Hao teased while pinching Concubine Xian's chin with a sly smile on his face.
"You're asking even though you already know the answer!" Concubine Xian just blurted out, and then her face turned red. She didn't know before, but now she knew Gao Hui was watching under the table, so she naturally felt embarrassed.
So the virtuous concubine tried to resolve this awkward situation and said:
"Okay, stop talking. Hui'er isn't in her room anyway. Let's go to my room. It would be bad if she finds out!"
“Which room are we going to? I think this place is pretty good!” Lin Hao excitedly hugged Concubine Xian and held her astride him!
"No, that's not it!" When Concubine Xian saw Lin Hao's actions and thought of Gao Yan watching below, she immediately became uneasy, but how could Lin Hao give her a chance?
"You, um~!" Just as Concubine Xian was about to speak, she was subdued by Lin Hao, and then her clothes fell down one by one and landed in front of Gao Hui.
"Asshole~!" Listening to the actions of the two, Gao Hui felt like she was about to explode with anger. This asshole really was having an affair with her aunt, and he was deliberately trying to take advantage of her.
But Gao Hui did not dare to resist, because she knew from the conversation between Lin Hao and Concubine Xian that the Gao family was facing a crisis and it was her aunt who sacrificed herself to save the Gao family. Therefore, she could not be willful and could only endure it silently.
After an hour, Gao Hui's legs were numb from squatting, and Lin Hao and Concubine Xian finally stopped. Just when Gao Hui thought she was out of misery, Lin Hao pulled her out.
But at this time, Concubine Xian had her eyes closed, lying on the table with her clothes in disarray, and a lingering blush still remained on her face.
Seeing this scene, Gao Hui felt extremely embarrassed because she had been squatting for too long. When she stood up suddenly, she felt her legs go numb and she was about to fall.
Lin Hao was quick-witted and quick-handed. He picked up Gao Hui and put her on the table, letting her head rest on Concubine Xian's belly, then he moved forward...!
In the following days, the queen formally accepted Zhao Pan'er as her adopted daughter and also rewarded her with a house in Bian Jing.
Afterwards, Zhao Pan'er temporarily separated from Lin Hao and moved into a new house to wait for her marriage. In addition to appeasing Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang, Lin Hao went to the Gao family to train the aunt and nephew, Concubine Xian and Gao Hui.
He also had to find time in the evening to go to the palace to appease the queen. In short, Lin Hao was extremely busy, and this went on for more than a month.
······
Soon it was the day of Lin Hao and Zhao Pan'er's wedding, and the entire Jing'an Marquis Mansion was decorated with lights and colors.
Although Lin Hao is only a marquis, after he controls the court and the imperial guards in the capital, he also has his confidant Lin Zhi who controls the Imperial City Bureau, which is a powerful weapon.
Lin Hao is extremely powerful nowadays, so on the day of Lin Hao's wedding, almost all the dignitaries in the entire Bianjing city came.
Of course, these people came, but their intentions were different. Some of them came sincerely to congratulate Lin Hao and Zhao Pan'er on their marriage, while some of them came purely to flatter Lin Hao.
Lin Hao chatted with these people, and then talked about the war on the Song-Liao border. Fortunately, Gao Hu brought tens of thousands of troops to reinforce and finally stabilized the situation. Now the two sides are in a standoff on the border.
At this time, Xiao Qinyan suddenly said:
"My Lord, I heard that Gao Hu's situation is not good. I wonder what your Lordship plans to do~!"
"What else can we do? If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth!" Lin Hao said casually, but Lin Hao still reminded:
"But the capital should also be prepared to send more reinforcements, and be ready..."
On his wedding day, Lin Hao discussed state affairs with his ministers.
On the other side, Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang were also talking to Zhao Paner.
Looking at Zhao Pan'er in her wedding dress, Song Yinzhang's eyes revealed a bit of surprise and envy:
"Sister Pan'er, you are so beautiful today, even more beautiful than the fairies in the sky."
Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but blush when she heard this. She gave Song Yinzhang a look and then said with a worried look on her face:
"Ever since the news spread that the Marquis was going to marry me, people have been talking about my poor family background everywhere!"
"Oh~ I hope it won't cause any trouble to the Marquis!" Zhao Pan'er sighed.
She had heard a lot of rumors in the restaurant recently, saying all kinds of things, including that she had a problem with her background, and that she was being accused of doing business as a woman.
There were also those who said that she was not worthy of Marquis Jing'an. The most outrageous one even said that she was already engaged, but she abandoned her fiancé in order to marry Marquis Jing'an.
At first, he thought that Ouyang Xu was deliberately spreading this news to discredit him in order to retaliate against him.
After all, Ouyang Xu was first not appointed as an official, and later he took several concubines, but he contracted syphilis. After seeking medical treatment and medicine everywhere without success, he is now still lying at home waiting to die.
Later, after an investigation by the Marquis' Mansion, it was discovered that Ouyang Xu had long been preoccupied with his own affairs and no rumors had ever been spread about him.
However, this made Zhao Pan'er even more worried, because logically, no one in the capital should know about her past, but so many rumors spread.
She always felt something was wrong, as if someone was using her affairs to get Lin Hao. Later, Lin Hao told her not to worry, and that he would handle everything.
"Pan'er, don't think too much!" Sun Sanniang saw this and quickly comforted her:
"As long as the Marquis likes you, it's enough. Why do you care what others think?"
"Besides, didn't the Marquis say that the Queen will come to watch the ceremony today? When the Queen will clear your name, I don't think anyone will dare to gossip about you!"
Zhao Pan'er shook her head secretly when she heard this. The rumors about the Queen outside were no less than hers. Those people even dared to make up stories about the Queen. What was the point of her coming to clear her name?
The Queen Mother adopted me as her adopted daughter, but the rumors outside still spread as they pleased!
However, Zhao Pan'er didn't want Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang to worry about her, so she forced a smile and said:
"Well, what Sun Sanniang said makes sense. As long as the Marquis doesn't care about the rumors outside, I, Zhao Pan'er, will not be afraid!"
"The Queen is here!"
Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will appear. Because Zhao Pan'er should have no relatives or elders, and the queen just adopted her as her adopted daughter, so she can marry her to Lin Hao as Zhao Pan'er's elder.
"Your concubine greets the Queen!" Zhao Pan'er quickly bowed.
"Forget it!" The Queen waved her hand and said, "Today is Pan'er's big day. As your stepmother, there is no need for me to be so polite!"
For some reason, Zhao Pan'er always felt that the queen was hostile to her, which made her feel a little absurd. You know, the queen adopted her as her adopted daughter.
Today is her wedding day, and the queen shouldn't have this attitude.
"The auspicious time has arrived~!" Then Lin Hao's wedding procession appeared outside the door.
Zhao Pan'er put away her wild thoughts and quickly asked Sanniang and Yinzhang to help check her makeup and tidy up her green wedding dress. After making sure that everything was fine, she waited for Lin Hao to pick her up.
Afterwards, Lin Hao came to Zhao Paner's house. After some wedding etiquette, Lin Hao took Zhao Paner's hand and saluted the queen who was sitting at the top.
To be honest, the reason why Lin Hao asked Zhao Pan'er to worship Liu Wan as her stepmother was simply because he wanted to give Zhao Pan'er a better identity.
But he didn't expect that the queen would come to the Zhao family on her own initiative and sit on the high seat as her adoptive mother. Then Lin Hao offered tea to Liu Wan.
However, what Lin Hao did not expect was that when Lin Hao offered her tea, Liu Wan actually scratched the palm of his hand in public, and then looked at Lin Hao with a smile.
"Damn it, this woman deserves to be punished!" Lin Hao said in his heart.
Afterwards, Lin Hao pretended not to know and forced himself to execute the queen on the spot, and could only go through the process in accordance with the rules.
Fortunately, there were too many people, and Lin Hao finally brought Zhao Pan'er back home safely. He only needed to complete the final ceremony.
As a result, when Lin Hao rode a tall horse and carried Zhao Paner back home in a sedan chair, he found that the queen had come again. Not only the queen, but also the virtuous concubine had come.
"Your Highness, I greet you, Her Majesty!"
"Your subjects greet Her Majesty the Concubine!"
"No need to be polite!" The Queen said with a smile:
"Today is the wedding day of Marquis Jing'an. My sister, Concubine Xian, and I have come to ask for a glass of wedding wine. You don't have to mind my status!"
"I heard that Marquis Jing'an has no living parents, so I would like to be generous and act as Marquis Jing'an's elder!" After the Queen said this, she pulled Concubine Xian to sit at the top, just like when they were at Zhao Pan'er's house, except that there was only the Queen but no Concubine Xian in Zhao Pan'er's house.
Lin Hao felt that the two women did it on purpose. They actually ran back and forth for this reason and acted as elders on both sides. These two women were causing trouble.
It would normally be a great honor for the Queen Mother to attend the wedding banquet of a minister, not to mention that the Queen Mother knew that he had no elders in his family and took the initiative to condescend to be his elder.
That's like smoke rising from the ancestral graves. As a subject, we should kneel down and thank God for his grace with tears in our eyes.
Sure enough, when the ministers who came to attend Lin Hao’s wedding saw Liu Wan take the initiative to treat Lin Hao as an elder, many of them were so envious that their eyes turned red!
This is a good thing that only the queen can favor. They are simply too envious.
But Lin Hao had a damned feeling. These two women were sitting at the top. When Lin Hao paid his respects to his parents later, wouldn’t he have to pay his respects to these two women?
It seems like these two women really need to be punished!
However, in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, Lin Hao couldn't just go up and pull the two women down and beat them up in front of them!
Therefore, Lin Hao could only use his eyes to warn them not to cause trouble.
After being glared at by Lin Hao, both women actually felt a little guilty. Concubine Xian immediately showed an innocent expression, as if to say that she was dragged here by the Queen and it had nothing to do with her.
Liu Wan also felt a little guilty, but as the queen, she had already said it and everyone had already sat down.
I can't go back on my word and leave in disgrace! Doesn't she have any dignity?
So Liu Wan could only bite the bullet and say:
"The auspicious time has arrived, Marquis Jing'an, please don't let the bride wait anxiously!"
"It would be bad if we missed the auspicious time!"
Lin Hao looked at the two women who were seeking their own death in silence. Thinking that these two women have been licking his ass for a long time, he decided to let them take advantage of him for once!
But he was sure to get his revenge in the evening, so the wedding went on!
"Bow to heaven and earth~!"
Lin Hao and Zhao Pan'er finally began to worship heaven and earth. After the master of ceremonies shouted "send her to the bridal chamber", Zhao Pan'er was sent to the bridal chamber.
Then Lin Hao began to greet the guests. In fact, there was nothing to exchange pleasantries with these so-called colleagues.
However, the ceremony still had to be performed. Then Lin Hao picked up the jar of wine and used the space equipment to drink from each table one by one, drinking a whole jar of wine at a time.
Lin Hao's heroic drinking style shocked all the guests. The upright people naturally looked down upon him, but the nobles in charge of the military power admired Lin Hao from the bottom of their hearts.
After getting all the guests in the room drunk, Lin Hao can finally enter the bridal chamber!
In the bridal chamber, Lin Hao had already taken away the fan that Zhao Pan'er was using to cover her body. It must be said that Zhao Pan'er was truly stunningly beautiful in her wedding dress.
Even Lin Hao, who was used to seeing stunning beauties, was amazed and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Fairy Sister is Fairy Sister."
Of course, the premise is that she doesn't show her teeth when she smiles!
"I've been watching for so long, but I still haven't seen enough!" Zhao Paner felt embarrassed by Lin Hao's burning gaze.
"I can't get enough of looking at her. My wife is so beautiful that I can never get enough of looking at her in my entire life!" Lin Hao said sweet words without hesitation.
There's no way, I have so much experience in marriage.
"It sounds good now, but in a few years when she's old and ugly, you might not even bother to look at her anymore!"
"You are the fairy sister who came down from heaven. No matter you are rich or poor, no matter..."
"You are such a smooth talker. Who knows how many young ladies will be deceived by your mouth in the future!"
Lin Hao's sweet words made Zhao Pan'er feel shy and she felt like she was in the clouds.
"Oh, no, we haven't drunk the wedding wine yet!"
Lin Hao gently suppressed his excitement, then took out the cup for drinking the wedding wine. Then Lin Hao and Zhao Pan'er held hands and drank the wedding wine!
"My dear, a night of love is worth a thousand gold..."
As the saying goes, the harp and the zither are in harmony and the mandarin ducks are in love, this night is destined to be a sleepless night.
next day
When the bright sunshine shone on his face, Lin Hao slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was an infinitely beautiful scenery.
At this time, Zhao Pan'er was nestled in Lin Hao's arms, her hair was a little messy, and the afterglow of last night still remained on her beautiful face.
The red color looks particularly tempting, making people salivate.
As if she felt Lin Hao's gaze, Zhao Pan'er also opened her beautiful eyes dazedly, and happened to look at Lin Hao.
My mind suddenly recalled everything that happened last night, and I immediately hid under the quilt with my face flushed with shame.
As we all know, men are more irritable in the morning.
So, it’s another noon!
When Lin Hao and Zhao Paner walked out of the room, Zhao Paner was immediately dragged away by several women who had been waiting at the door.
Then the four women whispered to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about, but Zhao Paner's face looked very shy.
Finally, after confirmation by Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang, Zhang Haohao would exclaim in amazement from time to time. You know, now in the Marquis' Mansion, she is the only one who has not done that with Lin Hao.
Lin Hao was drinking tea happily not far away, enjoying the longing glances that Zhang Haohao cast at him from time to time.
However, at this moment, Eunuch Cui came with the imperial edict.
"Announce that Jing'an Hou Lin Hao is entering the palace for an audience~!"
After reading the imperial edict, Eunuch Cui came to Lin Hao and reminded him in a low voice:
"My Lord, the Queen asked me to tell you that His Majesty is going to make Prince Sheng the Crown Prince!"
······
Zhao Heng, who was in a daze, felt that he really didn't have much time left.
He has been dreaming a lot these days, and they are all green dreams. What's even stranger is that the protagonists in every dream are either the Queen and Marquis Jing'an, or the Concubine Xian and Marquis Jing'an~!
The most outrageous time was when he was sleeping but suddenly woke up and found that the Queen and Concubine Xian were in front of him, together with Marquis Jing'an~!
At that time, Zhao Heng was shocked and angry, and immediately shouted loudly to the eunuchs and guards. However, no one else could see it except him, so it was just his imagination.
Gradually he got used to it. Later the imperial physician said he was suffering from hysteria, a rare disease.
The symptom is frequent dreams, and the dreams are very real. In the later stages, people can't even tell whether they are in a dream or reality.
Therefore, Zhao Heng had to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible while he was still conscious and not terminally ill to save the Zhao family's kingdom!
So Zhao Heng went to court for the first time, which led to today's special court meeting. He also specially summoned Lin Hao, who was on leave after his marriage, into the palace.
You know, Zhao Heng hasn't attended court for a long time since he became addicted to smoking, and the queen has been ruling the country from behind the scenes for the past few months.
An emperor suddenly appeared today, and the ministers are a little uncomfortable with it.
At this moment, Zhao Heng was sitting on the dragon throne looking down from above. He suddenly realized that he had not attended court for several months, and there were many new faces in the court.
He didn't recognize many of the ministers, and many familiar ministers were missing.
But he couldn't care less about that anymore, because he felt that he was awake less and less.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Jing'an has arrived!" an eunuch shouted at this time.
Then, the originally noisy court suddenly became quiet because of the eunuch's words.
When Lin Hao entered the hall, Zhao Heng immediately said:
"There is only one thing I want to say today, and that is that I plan to make Prince Sheng Zhao Zhen the crown prince. What do you think, my dear ministers?"
