Returning to Zhaochun Palace, Yin Enci asked the palace people to add more charcoal fire in the Nuan Pavilion and ordered people to re-arrange some food. A large group of people sat around the Nuan Pavilion and looked at the clan members who came from Luyan Port. Very reserved, she first smiled and said:
"The weather in Jingling City is not as warm as in Luyan Port. When you go back to the mansion, you must ask your servants to make more charcoal fires. If there is any shortage, don't wrong yourself. It's hard for you to speak in front of the emperor's wife. , then look for the Ai family."
A few words that were approachable made girls like Lin Jinhui and Lin Jinyun feel a lot more relaxed.
"Thank you for your concern, ancestor."
Lin Jinhui plucked up the courage to speak first: "Our ancestors were considerate and arranged everything very well. Even if we have the courage, we can't make any mistakes."
"Is your name Jin Huiha?"
Yin Enci smiled warmly and said, "The Ai family has heard people talk about you. You are a smart girl."
"My ancestors have given me a reward."
Lin Jinhui silently glanced at Chu Nanzhi, who was taking care of the quadruplets to eat, and replied sarcastically: "If it weren't for the protection of my sister-in-law, the trouble my little girl has caused would not be enough to kill a hundred heads."
"It's only natural for a eldest sister-in-law to take more care of you juniors."
Yin Enci couldn't help but look at Chu Nanzhi: "It just so happens that your eldest sister-in-law is here too. The Ai family wants to marry you today. What do you think, girl?"
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but raise his head and look at Lin Jinhui.
The ancestor's decision to grant the marriage at this juncture must have a profound meaning, but he knew the temperament of this girl Jin Hui very well.
At home, she would not even accept the arrangements of her parents at will. If the marriage granted by her ancestors was not satisfactory, it would cause big trouble.
Lin Jinhui suddenly fell into panic.
She had just passed the age of 18, and she had too many longings for things between men and women. When she was in Luyan Port, she originally admired Sang Kun in front of Chu Nanzhi, but she knew in her heart that Sang Kun only had eyes for his master. He didn't care about her at all, so he never showed any feelings towards her.
Now that she was about to be granted a marriage by the Empress Dowager unexpectedly, she seemed to be caught off guard.
After thinking about it for a moment, she asked weakly: "Ancestor, no. You don't want your daughter to get married, do you?"
"Ahem, your imperial brother is the most disgusted with the marriage plan."
Yin Enci waved her hand carelessly: "You are now the closest sister to your imperial brother. The Ai family is not willing to give up. Naturally, they want to find a good marriage for you."
As she said that, she looked at Chu Nanzhi with a heavy face and continued: "General Rong Heng of the Ji family is currently stationed in Qingyang City and leads the three states of Qinghe. He is also the eldest, but he is honest and straightforward. You two are the perfect match."
"A good match?"
Lin Jinhui muttered something in a low voice.
I had already heard about that man's reputation. He was already in his early twenties and no one was willing to marry him, so it was obvious that he was not a kind person.
And when she learned that her ancestor wanted to betroth Jin Hui to Ji Rongheng's stubborn donkey, Chu Nanzhi was dumbfounded.
But she knew the deep meaning of her ancestor's move.
Although many of Ji Muzhou's words today are a bit explicit and straightforward, they are indeed true. It is natural for the pretty boy to ascend to the throne and bless the world.
Today, he made an oath in front of his clan members not to establish a sixth palace, and married his adoptive father's daughter to Zhang Yu. He didn't give his clan members any hope at all. It seems that his ancestors planned to use Jin Hui and Ji Rongheng The marriage came to comfort the hearts of Ji’s family.
After all, the prestige of the Ji family is extraordinary in the empire. None of Ji Huazhen, Princess Shu, and Ji Rongheng can be underestimated, let alone the elders of the clan.
It's just that Mrs. Zhou entrusted this girl Jin Hui to herself, and she couldn't just watch her sister-in-law being forcibly involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong.
Just as she was thinking about how to turn down the marriage, she heard Lin Jinhui grit her teeth and reply: "I am fortunate to have my ancestor's caring caress. I am very grateful. I thank my ancestor for his kindness and are willing to accept this marriage."
"Jin Hui."
Chu Nanzhi was stunned when she heard this, and looked at her hurriedly.
If she refused, he could still think of something to do, but this girl agreed directly, and he had no idea at all.
Lin Jinhui pursed her lips and smiled, and replied calmly: "Sister-in-law, I am truly willing to accept this marriage gifted by my ancestors."
"Very good, very good."
Yin Enci nodded with satisfaction, looked at Hai Lianying with a smile, and ordered: "Lian Ying, tell me how to make preparations. Next month, we will organize the marriage of the two eldest princesses and the second mother of the Chu family. It will definitely be
It needs to be more decent and lively.”
After saying this, he sent Hailianying to fetch two pairs of precious white jade bracelets and gave them to Lin Jinhui and Lin Jinyun as dowry.
Thinking about the past events, he warned Lin Jinyun: "If you are wronged when you marry into the Zhang family in the future, please don't hold it back. Although you are not the emperor's biological sister, in the hearts of the Ai family, you have nothing to do with me."
Wei, no one dares to treat you lightly."
"My ancestors love me so much, but I have nothing to repay. From now on, I just hope that I can live a happy life with my husband and not let my ancestors, my brother and my wife worry about me."
Although Lin Jinyun now knows the past events, she feels very guilty when she thinks back to her family's poor treatment of her brother over the years.
But at this moment, the ancestors and grandsons never mentioned the past events. In addition to gratitude, the only thing left in her heart was to teach her husband to live a good life and serve the country loyally to repay the kindness of the emperor's brother and his wife.
She was still upset by the affairs of the Ji family. After arranging these marriages, Yin Enci's face returned to joy. She smiled and said to Chu Nanzhi: "Queen, what the Ai family has explained is also true."
It's almost time. You go back to Rongde Palace with your two sisters-in-law. The princess of Tataraka has a deep love for your master and servant. You have been away for a long time and you have a lot to say. The Aijia will not disturb you.
interest."
Listening to the playful sounds of the little ones fighting for food in the inner room, she added kindly: "Your Highness and Little Princess, please let them rest in Zhaochun Palace tonight."
After saying that, he picked up his crutches and stood up slowly: "The Ai family has to go see their great-grandson and great-granddaughter."
Watching his ancestor enter the inner room, Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to lead Lin Jinhui and Lin Jinyun to follow Hailianying out of Zhaochun Palace.
After walking in the palace for a long time against the night wind, after arriving at the newly built Rongde Palace, as soon as she entered the door, Chu Nanzhi looked at Lin Jinhui with an indifferent expression and asked impatiently: "Jinhui, are you really willing to marry Rong Rong?"
General Heng?”
"Anyway, you have to marry, no matter who you marry, you are not marrying."
Lin Jinhui pretended to be nothing and smiled: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about my affairs."
Before leaving, his father and mother told him to obey his brother and sister-in-law on everything in Beijing and not to cause any trouble to the couple.
Along the way, she has also witnessed the difficulties faced by the couple with her own eyes. Now that her brother has ascended to the throne, she fully understands the significance of the marriage with the Ji family.
Since she can't marry the person she likes, she thinks it's not a bad thing to be able to share the worries of her brother and sister-in-law.
