Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 31. Ms. Zhuo’s Extra Story: Shaohua is full of romance (3)

As an emperor, it is natural to be watched anytime, anywhere, even if Xiao Zhu is out of the palace in a micro-clothing tour.

The emperor went to Jingcheng University and found a female student from Jingcheng University who was proficient in Ilya and Saxi, which naturally attracted the attention of many people in the court.

If there were people who thought that the emperor was simply looking for an interpreter at first, many people would think differently when they saw Zhuo Lin herself.

There is no other reason, but Zhuo Lin's appearance and temperament are too good. Who would believe that the emperor really just wanted her to be a translator in the face of such a beauty?

Many people are wondering if the emperor did this on purpose to pave the way for Zhuo Lin. After all, when today Zi has been on the throne for two years, the harem is still empty. The queen died not long after the emperor ascended the throne last year. After that, the emperor didn't even want to marry the successor, and even the concubine didn't mean it. The powerful and powerful people in the capital were all staring at the queen's position.

On the first day of the arrival of the messengers of Elijah and Sassi, Zoline went into the palace to discuss the itinerary with the royal family and staff who were in charge of welcoming Crown Princess Ilya and Duchess Sassi. Because there were no female relatives in the emperor's harem, this task fell to Xiao Zhu's sister, Princess Chengyu. Along with Princess Chengyu, there were several princesses and princesses.

When Zhuo Lin was invited into the palace by the palace servants, the female relatives who were still discussing something instantly quieted down, and a dozen or so eyes turned to Zhuo Lin who walked in from the door.

Some people couldn't help but take a deep breath. They all said that the royal family produced beautiful women. No matter what the appearance of the female family members here is not bad, but compared with Zhuo Lin, it still makes people feel a little inferior.

A young girl who is only eighteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, even her temperament is sloppy, neither humble nor arrogant, such a woman can be seen from a famous family.

Even if he walked into the splendid palace alone, facing a group of princesses, princesses, and princesses, he did not look cowardly and uneasy at all.

"I have seen Princess Chengyu, I have seen all the princesses and princesses." Zhuo Lin leaned slightly to greet everyone.

Princess Chengyu looked at her for a while, and then chuckled, "I didn't expect that Miss Zhuo is such a talented and beautiful woman. You're welcome, please take a seat."

Zhuolin thanked Princess Chengyu before she walked to the side and sat down.

Princess Chengyu put away her exploratory look, and put on a kind smile, "It's right for us to thank Miss Zhuo, if it wasn't for those of us who are ignorant and ignorant, we don't have to. Thank you, Miss Zhuo, for your hard work."

Zhuolin said: "The princess is serious. I heard that the princess is both talented in qin and painting, and she is also proficient in foreign musical instruments. If the princess is ignorant, wouldn't we be ashamed and shameless?"

The smile on Princess Chengyu's face was even more pronounced. Women with high birth and talent are always arrogant, but women who are too arrogant are actually not suitable for living in the palace.

Princess Chengyu saw that Zhuo Lin's reply was calm and eloquent, and she did not have the aloofness of many self-proclaimed talented women, but she felt that it would be okay if her emperor's younger brother was serious. Although the Sheng family has fallen, it is a scholarly family for generations after all. It has a reputation for being noble and noble, and even a queen is not a bad idea.

Zhuo Lin naturally didn't know what Princess Chengyu was thinking. She took out the documents she brought with her and started to determine tomorrow's itinerary and matters needing attention with Princess Chengyu.

After discussing the business, Zhuo Lin got up and said goodbye without staying too long. Princess Chengyu still asked the servants in the palace to **** Zhuo Lin out of the palace.

Walking out with the inner servant, Zhuo Lin suddenly stopped.

"Miss Zhuo?" The chamberlain looked back at Zhuo Lin.

Zhuolin said, "This doesn't seem to be the way out of the palace."

The chamberlain smiled, "Miss Zhuo forgives your sin, it's His Majesty who wants to see Miss Zhuo."

Zhuolin was a little puzzled, "What do you want to tell your majesty?"

"We don't know that." The chamberlain shook his head.

Zhuolin didn't embarrass him, she nodded and said, "It's work."

Zhuo Lin was led all the way to the side hall of the imperial study, and Xiao Zhu was already waiting there.

Xiao Zhu did not wear the emperor's dragon robe and crown as Zhuo Lin thought, but wore a plain long gown as he did at Beijing University a few days ago. If he walked outside, no one would think he was the emperor. On the contrary, he should think that this is the pampered royal son of the royal family.

Of course, in addition to being the emperor, Xiao Zhu is indeed a pampered prince of the royal family.

"Ms. Zhuo." Xiao Zhu nodded to Zhuo Lin with a smile, "Please take a seat."

Zhuolin thanked Xiao Zhu, walked to one side and sat down. Zhuo Lin asked, "Your Majesty has summoned me, but what important things have you ordered?"

Xiao Zhu looked at Zhuo Lin with great interest and said with a smile, "Miss Zhuo doesn't seem to be afraid at all when she enters the palace for the first time."

Zhuolin smiled, "The palace is solemn and solemn, so it's inevitable that I'm a little nervous, but... Your Majesty invites me to do things. Even if the rules are stricter in the palace, they won't eat people, and they won't be too scared."

Xiao Zhu smiled and said, "Eating people... that's hard to say." The palace has been a place to eat people since ancient times.

Zhuolin smiled, "Your Majesty said so, then I don't have to worry."

Xiao Zhu said, "I asked Miss Zhuo to come over today because I want to apologize to you first."

"Apologize?" Zhuo Lin is a little puzzled. She has seen many members of the royal family in the past few months. Compared with those high-ranking royal family members, this emperor is a little too approachable.

Xiao Zhu nodded, "Because of this incident, there may be some misunderstandings about Miss Zhuo..." Seeing Xiao Zhu's apologetic expression, Zhuo Lin suddenly came to a realization. She looked a little strange.

"..." After a long silence, Zhuo Lin said, "So... they think that His Majesty treats me..."

Xiao Zhu nodded helplessly.

It took a long while before Zhuo Lin couldn't help laughing, "It's too flattering."

"I want to talk to Miss Zhuo first, and you should be prepared. Don't worry, I will handle the rest of the matter and try not to let anyone disturb you."

Zero Lin nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Zhu looked at Zhuo Lin curiously, "I heard from Professor Ji that Miss Zhuo will finish her studies in more than a year. What are your plans then? Stay in school to teach?"

Zero Lin was a little embarrassed, "To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet."

Xiao Zhu said: "Actually, staying at school is also a good choice." Although An Xia no longer requires women to stay outside the door, there are not many choices for women. Otherwise, the entire court would not be able to find one or two women who could speak Saxi. Even in teaching, there are very few female teachers in Beijing University.

Zhuolin smiled, "I think so too." Before she was really sure what she wanted to do, Zhuo Lin felt that teaching was a good choice.

A few days later, the special envoys of Ilya and Sassi visited Anxia at the same time, and Zhuo Lin served as a translator and accompanied Princess Chengyu to receive the female dignitaries of the two countries.

Especially the Duchess of Sassy, ​​who is full of praise for Zoline. Hearing that Zhuo Lin has only been learning Saxi for two years, she was even more amazed.

Saxi language is small and not very easy to learn, but Zhuo Lin can speak Saxi like a mother tongue without delaying her own studies. Such a talent for language is really amazing.

The Duchess herself does not speak Anxia, ​​and although there are translators who are proficient in Anxia, ​​they are all men. In Anxia, ​​there are places where men are exempted from entry or inconvenient for men to participate. With Zhuo Lin's participation, the communication problems that the Duchess was worried about did not appear at all.

Not only that, Zhuo Lin is also very good at regulating the atmosphere and relationships. Ilya and Sassi are neighboring countries, but the relationship between the two countries is not good. With Zhuolin, even if the Crown Princess and the Duchess attend an occasion at the same time, there will never be any unpleasant scenes.

Not only the Duchess Zhuo Lin is full of praise, but even the crown princess of Ilya also admires Zhuo Lin.

After all, it's really not easy to find someone in Anxia who can communicate with him smoothly and who also has a good understanding of his own country's culture.

Because the two VIPs praised Zhuo Lin in public, Zhuo Lin's fame also rushed out of the campus and resounded throughout the capital.

As a result, more people are wary of her, and they all think that Zhuo Lin has such a reputation as the emperor's majesty who is preparing for the establishment of an empress or a concubine in the near future.

The foreign envoys did not stay in Anxia for a long time. A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and soon came the day when the envoys were about to leave Anxia.

The night before leaving Beijing, the imperial palace prepared a farewell banquet for the envoys of the two countries as usual.

"Zhuo, are you really not considering my proposal?" Vera Augustus, Duchess of Sassy, ​​took Zhuo Lin's hand and asked softly.

Zhuolin shook her head apologetically, "Thank you very much for your invitation, but...I have no plans to leave Anxia for the time being."

Vera was a little disappointed, "I think you will have a better development if you go to Sassi. I want to hire you as my assistant consultant. I think my uncle and cousin will also be willing to hire you at a high salary. For such a talented and capable woman, we need someone who understands the Sasi language and culture and is extremely proficient in Anxia, ​​a great eastern country.”

Vera really likes Zhuo Lin. The first time she saw Zhuo Lin, she felt that she was different from other women in An Xia, and also different from women in Saxi, "In An Xia, there will be restrictions. Your development. They don't give good women too many options, do they?"

Zo Lin smiled and said, "Will there be more choices for Saxi?"

Vera thought for a moment, a little frustrated, "Okay, but at least there is more freedom in Sassi? You will be very welcome in my country."

In Saxi, although there are not as many rules as Anxia, ​​the power given to women is not much more than that of Anxia.

Yes, Sassi allows women to inherit titles and even the throne, so Vera inherits the title of her father's duke instead of being rashly called a princess.

But they don't allow women to participate in politics, they don't allow women to hold public office. I heard that Anxia has historically allowed women to participate in politics, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to exist now.

Zhuolin smiled, "Thank you, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit Saxi in the future, but I still prefer An Xia."

Vera was not angry and smiled, "I like Sassi more, too. If you come to Sassi, you must come to me. I welcome you anytime. Trust me, you will like it there."

"Thank you, Lord Duke." Zhuo Lin said.

On the other side, Xiao Zhu and Princess Chengyu sent off Crown Prince Ilya and his wife with a smile. When they turned their heads, they saw Zhuo Lin and Vera sitting together and chatting happily.

Princess Chengyu smiled, "This Miss Zhuo is very suitable for diplomacy. If she is here, she will do better than me."

Xiao Zhu lowered his eyes and said with a chuckle, "Sister Huang has been too modest. She has worked hard these days."

Princess Chengyu shook her head and said, "I'm not being too modest, it's just... Ah Zhu, Huangjie is not too young, I can't always let me do these things for you, you still need to find a partner. I think...then A girl is a good fit."

Xiao Zhu shook his head but did not speak, Princess Chengyu was a little puzzled, "I think you have a good impression of her, do you think her family background is not suitable?"

Actually, in Princess Chengyu's view, family background is not that important. What is important is being able to be one with the emperor.

Let's not talk about the abilities of the powerful daughters in the capital, even if they become queens, I'm afraid they still value their parents more.

But it is not difficult to understand that the situation of the royal family is not very good now. If there is no strong family to support those delicate and famous ladies, I am afraid that they will not be able to sit firmly in the position of queen. But after these days of getting along, Princess Chengyu has inexplicable confidence in Zhuo Lin. If it is any girl, she will definitely become an excellent queen.

Xiao Zhu said, "That's not the problem. Huangjie, do you think people are good, and people should like me, right?"

Princess Chengyu was surprised, "Is there anyone who would look down on my brother?"

This is not because Princess Chengyu is overconfident, but even if she does not have the status of the royal family, Xiao Zhu is first-class in appearance, ability and character. Princess Chengyu never thinks that anyone will look down on her own younger brother. .

Xiao Zhu was a little helpless, "Not everyone likes to cause trouble for themselves."

The position of emperor itself represents a lot of trouble. What's more, Xiao Zhu could see that Zhuo Lin's eyes didn't mean that at all.

Whether in private or in public, Zhuo Lin's face and eyes have never had any emotions similar to that of a girl's heart.

Princess Chengyu couldn't help but looked at Zhuo Lin, who was not far away, and shrugged, "Okay, you just know what you have in mind. After this time, people in the capital who want to attack her may not There will be few, be careful to start slowly and be taken away by someone.”

Xiao Zhu smiled helplessly, shook his head and said nothing.
