"The imperial edict is here-Lin Mansion comes quickly to receive the edict"

The sharp voice broke the calm of the Lin Mansion. Prime Minister Lin Mingcheng immediately took his wife, aunt, son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law and family servants to the front yard to receive the imperial edict. This is not the first time that the Lin Mansion has received the imperial edict, but it is rare for the eunuch Li Quan, the eunuch who is closest to the emperor, to pass the imperial eunuch, to personally pass the imperial eunuch. It is only the time when the sixth princess Chu Nian pointed out to the eldest son Lin Qingyang. It seems that something big is going to happen, and Lin Mingcheng had a bad premonition in his heart.

"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered: I heard that the daughter of Prime Minister Lin Mingcheng, Lin, is both virtuous and talented, gentle and generous, has outstanding character and beautiful nature. Now when the prince is married, he should choose a virtuous daughter and a mate. When Lin's Qinglang is waiting for his name, he can be called a heavenly and earthly arrangement with the prince. In order to be a beautiful woman, he specially ordered Lin's Qinglang to be a prince's concubine. All rituals are handed over to the head of the Ministry of Rites. After three months, I will be honored with this-" Li Quan looked at Lin Mingcheng and Lin Qinglang with a smile. "Prime Minister Lin, Miss Lin, please accept the order."

"I thank the Lord for your kindness, long live my emperor--"

Li Quan handed over the imperial edict to Lin Mingcheng. "Sha family sent the imperial edict on behalf of Your Majesty today. It is inconvenient to pay tribute. I hope Prime Minister Lin will forgive me. When the Sa family heard that Miss Lin had just passed the ceremony yesterday, she welcomed this imperial edict today. Congratulations to Prime Minister Lin and Miss Lin. The Sa family had to go back to the palace to return the imperial edict to Your Majesty, so there was no more." Li Quan left Lin's mansion accompanied by Lin Mingcheng.

Lin Qingwan couldn't believe the decree she had just heard. The emperor wanted to give her to the crown prince as the crown prince's concubine? How could this person who is most likely to be in the world in the future? But power and status are not what she cares about. What she wants is to stay with her favorite brother Yu forever and live her life safely. But now, how can she realize this simple wish?

"Qingqing, I didn't expect that the princess chosen by the father for the fourth brother would be you..." The eldest sister-in-law Chu Nian is the sixth princess of the current emperor. It is precisely because of this that she knew that the royal marriage was involuntary and helpless. It was not easy for her to finally get married with the person she liked. Chu Nian knew a little about Lin Qingwan and her ninth brother Chu Yu, but she could not change her father's holy intention.

"Niannian, take Qingqing back to the room..." After something suddenly happened, Lin Qingwan was not the only one who felt sad, but Lin Mingcheng and Mrs. Lin Yun Qingci were even more sad.

Lin Qingwan is not only a legitimate daughter, but also the youngest daughter in the family. Every household loves her youngest son the most, and the Lin family is no exception. What's more, Yun Qingci was difficult to give birth when he gave birth to Lin Qingwan. This child was born with congenital deficiency and was much weaker than ordinary people. If it weren't for the help of the genius doctors he met by chance, Lin Qingwan might not have lived now. Therefore, the couple was very fond of this daughter, and Lin Qingwan was also a sensible child. Even if she was so pampered, she had no indulgent temperament. The servants also liked this beautiful and good-tempered fifth lady. But now, an imperial edict would change Lin Qingwan's fate. What is the place of the palace? As soon as she entered the palace gate as deep as the sea, with Lin Qingwan's temperament, she would not be happy to marry the prince.

Yun Qingci couldn't help but think of his sister. Yun Qingyan, the current concubine of Concubine Yun, was also an extremely outstanding woman in the capital. In order to win over the Zhong Palace, the emperor married her sister and gave her power and status, but did not favor her. The innocent and cheerful woman in the past has become depressed now. Will the sister's tragedy be repeated in her daughter?

But something so sad in Yun Qingci's eyes is a supreme honor in the eyes of other concubines. They are all angry that why they are just a concubine, why their daughter is just a concubine, and why their daughter has not married into the palace?

Miss Lin Si Lin Qingyao is the person who envies Lin Qingwan the most. She is only one year older than Lin Qingwan, but the treatment of the two since childhood is very different. Now, as a concubine, she has not yet gotten married, and she has just given the emperor a marriage to the emperor. How can she not be jealous?

Lin Qingyao's eyes were full of jealousy and hatred. She knew that her father was both the prime minister and the grand tutor. In her opinion, Lin Qingwan's marriage was all about Lin Mingcheng's wish to marry his beloved young daughter into the Eastern Palace. In the future, the prince ascended the throne and his power would be even greater.

Yun Qingci could see the emotions in Lin Qingsha's eyes clearly, but she was worried about Lin Qingwan's affairs at this time, and she was not in the mood to care about what Lin Qingyao was thinking. She didn't think that a concubine could cause any storm.

Aunt Zhao saw Yun Qingci staring at her daughter with a look of dissatisfaction in her eyes. She looked at her daughter and found that her daughter's eyes were full of jealousy. She pulled Lin Qingyao behind her, "Madam, since it's okay, I will take Ze'er and Yao'er back to the room."

Yun Qingci said aloud, and she had to go and see Qingqing. Qingqing didn't want to marry into the Eastern Palace, and she and Prime Minister Lin didn't want her to marry into the Eastern Palace. However, the imperial edict was issued, and everything was a foregone conclusion. I can only hope that Qingqing would be able to do it herself and protect herself in the Eastern Palace. As for the rest, the prince should give Prime Minister Lin a little face and would not neglect her too much.

Lin Qing returned to the room, picked up the purse she placed beside her pillow, took out a jade pendant from the purse, the best mutton fat jade was engraved with the word "Ning". This jade pendant was given to her by Chu Yu. It was specially ordered by the emperor to carve someone when Chu Yu was born. "Ning" was Chu Yu's future title. This jade pendant is a symbol of his identity and has extraordinary significance.

Lin Qingwan looked at the jade pendant and cried silently.

In the Eastern Palace, Chu Heng looked at the marriage imperial edict that he could not come back to his senses for a long time, and he couldn't believe it was true. Qingqing, is he going to become his crown princess?

"Congratulations to Your Highness" the guard Xiao Han, the maids Yu Xi and Yu Ran couldn't help but chuckled. They were all trained by Chu Heng, and they were all his confidants. They knew the thoughts of His Highness. Now that His Highness finally got what he wanted, they were also happy for His Highness.

"Your Highness, the Empress sends someone to ask, is there anything you need to add to the betrothal gift to Miss Lin?" Yu Xi spoke back to Chu Heng's thoughts. She had never seen Your Highness look like this before, and she was so happy that she lost her mind.

Chu Heng came back to his senses after Yu Xi's reminder. He took out a small brocade box, then wrote a letter, and handed it to Xiao Han with the brocade box. "You personally escort the betrothal gift to the Lin Mansion, and then handed these two things to Qingqing in person."

Xiao Han took the letter and the brocade box, put it on and "the subordinate understands it", and then left the study room.

Xiao Han and Yu Xi are both practicing martial arts, so naturally they don’t know what is in the brocade box, but Yu Ran studied medicine. Although her medical skills are not as exquisite as His Royal Highness and Xiao Ye, she knows such a precious magical medicine - Tianxiang Cardamom.

The news that the Lin family's legitimate daughter was named the crown princess instantly spread throughout the capital. Most people were optimistic about these two people. The reputation of Crown Prince Chu Heng and Lin Qingwan, the daughter of the Lin family, was known to all the people in the capital. They are a talented man and beautiful woman, and a match made by heaven.

On that day, the Empress sent the most trusted nanny and matchmaker around her to send the betrothal gift to the Lin Mansion. The scene shocked the entire imperial city. She couldn't help but sigh that the Rong Mansion was really rich in the world, and the betrothal gift was several times more than that of other princes.

"Prime Minister Lin, Mrs. Lin, the old slave sent these betrothal gifts at the order of the Empress. This is the gift list." Madam Xu handed a little red book to Yun Qingci. "In addition, it is said that the Empress Fengyu ordered Miss Lin to enter the palace tomorrow. The old slave has already brought the words, so I won't disturb you."

Prime Minister Lin sent Madam Xu and others away, leaving Yun Qingci and Xiao Han, and Xiao Han said, "Madam, Your Highness the Crown Prince ordered his subordinates to hand over two things to Miss Lin in person. I wonder if Mrs. can do it convenient?"

Yun Qingci hesitated for a moment. After all, Lin Qingwan was a woman who had not yet been married. Seeing that a man was somewhat inappropriate, but sometimes the crown prince’s orders were not easy to refuse, so he whispered to Hong'er, the maid beside him, "Go and call the lady over."

"Sir Xiao wait for a moment, and the little girl will come later." Xiao Han received Yun Qingci's reply and nodded slightly.

The maid Hong'er arrested Lin Qingwan to the main hall. Yun Qingci left the servant and walked out and waited outside the door. Since she needed to hand it over to Qingqing himself, it must be a very important and precious thing. Although Xiao Han did not say that she wanted to avoid others, it would be better for them to be more sensible.

Xiao Han looked around and was relieved that no one had peeked or eavesdropped. He took out the brocade box and letter and handed it to Lin Qingwan. "This is what His Highness the Crown Prince ordered him to hand it over to Miss Lin. I hope Miss Lin can keep it properly and his subordinates will take his leave." After Xiao Han finished what Chu Heng explained, he left Lin's mansion and went back to report his life.

After Lin Qing returned to the room, she did not rush to open the brocade box, but looked at the box first. The brocade box was very small and finely made, so it must be used to hold valuables, but from the size, if the jewelry cannot be installed, what would it be there? She first opened the letter sent by Chu Heng, and there were only a few words on the letter: "Don't refuse." The signature was the word "heng".

Chu Heng was a master of calligraphy in Southern Chu. He was better than blue than blue. His calligraphy was strong and powerful, and his momentum was magnificent. He gathered the strengths of a hundred schools of thought, and no one in Southern Chu could match.

Lin Qingwan opened the brocade box and saw two unique Yangzi fruits. She took out one and looked carefully. Because she was weak since childhood, she was also a little versatile. She had seen a strange fruit in an ancient book. It bears fruit every thirty years, and each time there is only one, which is probably the thing in her hand. Tianxiang cardamom is extremely precious. Chu Heng should have worked hard to get these two. These two departments may be more expensive than all the betrothal gifts sent by the queen, and the value of this thing cannot be measured by money.
