Chapter 406 Goodbye Fengsheng
The high-pitched voice sounded, making Lin Xiaofan's body tremble slightly.
"By God's blessing, the emperor has decreed that Lin Xiaofan has good conduct, outstanding talents and academic achievements, and has repeatedly made military exploits. He is specially ordered to enter the palace immediately to discuss state affairs. I hereby express my gratitude."
Lin Xiaofan took a few steps forward, took a deep breath, took the imperial edict with both hands, and handed some of the gold he had to the envoy.
The messenger left with satisfaction, and Lin Xiaofan said:
"Prepare your horses and enter the palace."
The palace was not far from the Zhao family, and within half a quarter of an hour, the overlapping palace walls came into Lin Xiaofan's eyes.
The glazed tiles reflect bright light in the sun, and the dragon and phoenix patterns on the palace walls are winding and circling, showing the royal dignity and authority.
The iron guard at the door removed Lin Xiaofan's weapons, and the door opened, revealing the magnificent palace inside.
Above the hall, there are carved beams and painted pillars, and golden dragons, phoenixes and auspicious animals are coiled on the pillars. The surroundings are filled with cigarette smoke, like a fairyland.
Lin Xiaofan's eyes swept across and there were four people in the hall.
Sitting in the center, wearing a dragon robe, is the current Emperor Daqian.
He seemed to be in a bad state at this time, his face was pale, and he coughed from time to time.
Next to her is a white-haired old woman, wearing a phoenix robe, with a bit of charity in her brows. Under the wrinkles, you can faintly see her youthful appearance, she must be Feng Qing.
The other two were Kang Hong and Fengsheng, Kang Sheng to be precise.
"My lord, pay homage to the Emperor, pay homage to the Queen Mother, pay homage to the Sixth Prince, and pay homage to Princess Kangsheng."
Lin Xiaofan bowed to several people and looked at the current Grand Emperor from the corner of his eye.
He is thin, has severe dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes are dull. He looks extremely deficient at first glance.
As for how to treat it, he is not a medical student, so he has no idea.
But how to kill such a person? He had seen a method when reading novels in his previous life.
Giving him a large amount of tonic food would increase the burden on his body, which might directly kill him.
And after it was done, nothing could be found out at all.
"Lin Xiaofan, you have repeatedly made clever plans, defeated the enemy several times, and achieved two great achievements. What reward do you want?"
The Empress Dowager also looked at Lin Xiaofan and asked.
Da Qianhuang didn't have any opinions. Generally, she would decide on major matters. For small matters, the ministers below would give suggestions. Da Qianhuang would directly adopt them without even thinking.
Lin Xiaofan raised his head, looked at the current empress dowager firmly, and said:
"Queen Mother, I want to marry Princess Kangsheng."
He was also secretly thinking about whether this matter could be accomplished now.
With his relationship with Kang Hong, the other party will definitely support him. Fengsheng doesn’t need to ask, he will definitely be willing.
Emperor Daqian didn't seem to have any opinions and would only listen to the Queen Mother's arrangements.
Therefore, there is still a high chance that he will succeed in proposing marriage this time.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned and looked at Fengsheng subconsciously.
The latter was seen with his head lowered, his face slightly red, and his hands rubbing his clothes from time to time.
She also experienced ignorance when she was young, and she still didn't understand Fengsheng's thoughts.
Lin Xiaofan was young and promising, handsome in appearance, and had a master behind him, so he was worthy of Fengsheng in her family.
But then, she suddenly thought of something.
Fengsheng secretly ran out of the capital for the first time and went to the Qingzhou battlefield, and Lin Xiaofan was also on the Qingzhou battlefield. The two should have met at that time.
Fengsheng followed the little witch to escape from the capital for the second time, and it seemed that he also went to Qingzhou. Could this matter have anything to do with Lin Xiaofan?
I remember that at that time, the Chen family, Shen family, and Qing family lost their troops in Qingzhou, and it seemed that Lin Xiaofan was the one they united to deal with.
The little witch told Fengsheng the news, and then Fengsheng went to save Lin Xiaofan...
For a moment, she wanted to understand the whole story and felt a little dissatisfied.
At that time, Fengsheng ran out secretly, but she was so angry that she couldn't sleep for several days, because her target was the person in front of her.
Lin Xiaofan suddenly felt worried when he saw the Queen Mother frowning.
"Are you getting married?"
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Queen Mother, I am over sixteen years old and already married."
Lin Xiaofan said.
Men must marry when they reach sixteen, and women must marry when they reach sixteen. This is a rule in Da Qian. Of course, this rule is only applicable to ordinary people.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned slightly.
How can a woman from the Daqian royal family serve the same husband with another woman?
Although there are no clear regulations, this situation has never happened before in the history of Daqian for nearly a hundred years.
But the other party followed Da Gan's rules, and it was hard for her to refute.
Just as he was about to speak, Fengsheng beside him spoke first:
"Grandma, I don't mind."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother glared at Fengsheng, her unfulfilled granddaughter:
"You have no business talking about this."
After saying that, she looked at Kang Hong aside and asked:
"Xiao Liuzi, Kang Sheng is your daughter, what are your intentions on this matter?"
Lin Xiaofan heard this and gave Kang Hong a wink.
Kang Hong cleared his throat and said:
"Mom, Lin Xiaofan is young and promising, resourceful, well-read poetry and books, handsome and unrestrained, with a jade tree facing the wind. I agree to this marriage."
There was very little ink in his stomach, so he racked his brains to come up with this complimentary word.
Otherwise, he would definitely be able to praise Lin Xiaofan to the sky.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly:
"You three have already colluded together, right?"
She still couldn't tell that these three people had known each other for a long time.
"Grandma, just be sure."
Fengsheng hugged the Queen Mother's arm and started acting coquettishly.
The Queen Mother's expression softened a bit:
"Forget it, since you don't have any objections, if I continue to stop it, I will offend others. But Lin Xiaofan, if you have any bad feelings towards Fengsheng, I will definitely make you look good."
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother's face showed a bit of bitterness.
Although she kept saying that she wanted Fengsheng to get married, on this day, she couldn't help but feel reluctant to let go.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for making it possible."
Lin Xiaofan quickly thanked him.
"You have made great contributions, and you should receive no less rewards. Qi'er, isn't the post of Young Master Supervisor just vacant? Let Lin Xiaofan take up the post."
The Queen Mother continued.
Lin Xiaofan had made two great achievements in a row and came to the capital again. It would be unreasonable if the court didn't give him some rewards.
Moreover, now that the country's strength is declining year by year, the Queen Mother is also a little anxious and wants to appoint some truly talented people.
Although the position of Shaofu Supervisor is a big one and involves a lot of things, it does not interfere with the affairs of the government. I don't think those ministers who have problems with Lin Xiaofan will object to it.
"It all depends on mother's arrangements."
Emperor Daqian said.
"Thank you, Queen Mother. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Xiaofan said quickly.
The Shaofu Jian is the highest official of the Shaofu, and the Shaofu's main task is to manage private property and daily affairs for the royal family.
With this position in hand, even if he went to the Chen family, Chen Zinan couldn't do anything to him.
"Lin Xiaofan, there is one more thing I want to ask you."
The Queen Mother continued.
