In the afternoon, as evening approached, Duke Ding suddenly arrived at the Lin family.
The old man was the only one in front of the Lin family. Hearing that he was coming, he was very surprised and went out in person to receive him happily.
Dingguo Gong's stay was not long.
After he left, the old man was happy, confused, and a little unbelievable...
After sitting for a long time, he clapped his hands and said, "Oh my god, this is such a good thing!"
Now, it was almost dinner time. The old man had been waiting for a long time, but his eldest son still hadn't come back.
He felt anxious, so he got up and went to the back.
The old lady was in the main room, and Mrs. Yuan and Mr. Huang were also talking about the details of Lin Zhirong's marriage. Lin Zhixiu also participated, but she was pretending to be shy and covering up her indifference.
Just as he was talking, the old man came in with a smile.
Everyone quickly stood up and saluted.
The old man has a good temper and "sit down for everyone!"
He asked, "Did the boss say he won't come back for dinner?"
In fact, even if Lin has something to report and sends someone to report, he will report to the front, who will then send someone to report later. Therefore, the old man should know best.
But when he asked, Yuan went on to say, "Father, the Marquis didn't say anything. There may be something that will delay him for a while!"
The old man was so happy that he couldn't help it anymore and said to Mrs. Lin, "Just now, Duke Dingguo is here! Hahahaha!"
Old Mrs. Lin said, "Dong Guo? What is he doing here? Didn't he tell you in advance?!"
The old man said, "It was an impromptu idea, and it is a good thing..."
He laughed harder.
Lin Zhirong became nervous as soon as he heard that Duke Ding, Qi Erlang?
At this moment, Lin came in.
When the old man saw his eldest son coming back, he happily said, "Why is it so late tonight?"
Lin immediately saluted him and the old lady, "The emperor keeps his son... to say something!"
The old man said mysteriously, "My father was saying that Duke Dingguo came just now. What do you think he came to do?"
Lin Ji wiped his hands with the handkerchief: "Ding Guogong? What are you doing here?"
The old man chuckled, "Guess!"
It's so obvious how he looks like this! In Dingguo Gong's family, there is Qi Erlang, who is of the right marriage age and has not yet been engaged!
The old lady was shocked and exclaimed "Ah!", obviously excited.
Lin Zhirong also groaned, stood up, and stared at Old Mrs. Lin.
Lin Ji's expression changed and he stopped, "Dad, please tell your son first!"
But the old man could no longer control his excitement and said with a smile, "Hey, that's a good thing. Just wait until dad finishes talking!"
Lin Ji stopped him again and looked at his father with serious eyes, "Dad! My son has something important to tell you! Come..." He stretched out his arms in an inviting manner.
The old man gave his eldest son a strange look, but said nothing more and went out first.
Lin Ji followed closely and left...
After leaving the house, the old man whispered to Lin Ji, "What are you doing to stop my father? It's such a great thing. Duke Dingguo is here to beg our Xiu'er for his son Qi Erlang!"
Lin Ji said, "Father, you don't know that His Highness King Cheng made trouble with the Emperor a few days ago, saying that he wanted to marry Xiu'er as his concubine."
The old man was surprised, "How could it be? Didn't the emperor give him a decree to marry him?"
Lin Ji said, "Yes. But His Highness King Cheng refused and made trouble with the emperor. The emperor became angry and beat him twice!"
The old man said, "Yes, but the marriage has already been granted!" These successive good things confused the old man Lin.
Lin Ji said, "Oh, it's true...His Royal Highness King Cheng, today in front of his son, King Jing and several ministers, he said that he would not marry He Qing, but wanted to marry Xiu'er, and he specifically told his son... Oh, again
The emperor is very angry!"
The old man was dumbfounded, "What should we do? The emperor's decree has been made, and there will be no changes! Hey, okay, then let's get married to the Qi family, shall we?"
Lin Ji shook his head, "It's not that simple. His Royal Highness Cheng Wang's temperament... The emperor really loves him, so he only gave him the title of concubine last time. Today, what the emperor said to his son is that he wants our Xiu'er to be given to him.
Become a king and get a concubine."
The old man was dumbfounded, "Concubine... Tsk, to say that, for our family and Xiu'er, it's really not bad. But, with Qi Erlang here, it can't be said to be good!"
Lin Ji said, "That being said..."
Old Mrs. Lin said, "Oh, why do we come together for such a good thing? We don't even give it a chance to think about it, and it's something we can't afford to offend!"
Lin Ji said, "So my son stopped you just now. My son doesn't know about it, so that's fine. But today the emperor has said it, we can't make the decision ourselves. We have to tell the emperor no matter what, and wait for the emperor to make up his mind!"
Old Mrs. Lin: "Oh, let's just say that Xiu Yatou is a good one. His Highness King Cheng, Qi Erlang! Oh my god! Which one of them is also worthy of Tian'er's good marriage, but why is it that all good things are so troublesome and hanging in the air!?"
The father and son shook their heads and sighed as they headed forward.
Lin Zhirong quietly followed him out. Seeing his grandfather and uncle whispering to each other, he understood in his heart that Qi Erlang was here to beg Lin Zhixiu, right?!
Son of a bitch!
For a moment, she wanted to take a knife and chop Lin Zhixiu!
The tears just flowed, and she didn't even wipe them away. The viciousness in her eyes was undisguised...
Lin Zhixiu had already sent Xiyu out to observe the situation at home. He vaguely knew that Duke Dingguo was coming and the old man was also behind him, but why was there no news?
She didn't know whether she should be happy or unhappy.
One night passed, and Lin went to court the next day. He was a little absent-minded. Near the end, his peach-blossom eyes looked at the emperor one by one.
Although he does not have great power, he has received divine favor, so he stands quite high.
The emperor knew at a glance that this guy had something to say to him.
After the court broke up, Lin Ji ran to catch up with the emperor and bit his ears with the emperor. He only heard the emperor yelling "What did you say?!"
Lin Ji blushed and nodded.
The emperor stopped, stared at him, and said harshly in a low voice, "What kind of wanton woman is this of yours?! Why did she provoke so many people!?"
Lin Ji's face turned even redder, "Your Majesty... no..." He explained feebly.
The emperor trembled and pointed at him, "Good! Very good!"
He waved his hand and walked to his study without even sitting in the carriage.
Lin Ji followed in confusion, "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on! Why are they all getting together? What do you think we should do about this?"
The emperor walked away angrily and turned to glare at him, "I have so many things to do every day, but I still have to think about these nonsense! If you don't share my worries, you always cause me trouble!"
Lin was about to cry without tears, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Lin Ji said, "I have no idea!? I was so worried that I didn't sleep all night!"
The emperor said, "Huh! Promising! This Qi Erlang...how is it such a coincidence?!"
Well, if this happens, it will really be right! The whole capital will be blown up!
The two people talked all the way and walked quickly, and soon they arrived at the emperor's study.
But he saw Li Cheng kneeling at the door of the study...
The emperor was so angry that he kicked him when he passed by.
The emperor entered the study, and Lin Ji and Li Chengdu followed him.
Li Cheng said, "Dad, have you made up your mind today?"
The emperor stared at him and finally sighed, "Yesterday, Prince Yong'an came. He was so nervous for such a big man! He only said that he had caused trouble to me, and he blamed himself very much! Look, what a sensible person I can be.
How to treat him? Therefore, your main concubine will never change! If you like Lin Zhixiu, just accept her as your concubine!"
Li Cheng shouted, "No, Father! This is really impossible! Axiu won't do it! You don't know..."
The emperor suddenly laughed loudly, "Li Cheng! This is my bottom line. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. Lin Ji just told me that Duke Dingguo's Qi Erlang asked to marry Lin Zhixiu! In my opinion,
They are a pair of stunningly beautiful people, and they are a match! Maybe, I will give them a marriage in the end!"
Li Cheng blinked, "What are you talking about? Qi Erlang? He wants to marry A Xiu..."
The emperor nodded happily.
Li Cheng looked at Lin Ji, who also nodded.
Li Cheng jumped up with a howl, not caring about the pain in his butt. "Okay! This bitch is a bastard! How dare he poach my corner! Let's see if I don't break his legs!" After that, he ran out.
The emperor shouted, "Stop!"
Li Cheng didn't listen and ran away. The emperor rushed to the door and called the palace guard, "Old Liu, stop him!"
He immediately rushed past several people and got into a fight.
The emperor pointed at him and said, "If you make trouble again, I will grant them a marriage now and you will be completely finished!"
Li Cheng was so angry that he stopped and said, "Dad, am I your son or is Qi Erlang your son?!"
When asked... Lin Ji laughed.
The emperor was simply convinced, "...that's all! I can't afford to be angry with a fool like you, so come in!"
Li Chengzhen feels a little uneasy every day.
He came back listlessly, cursing, "That pretty boy is the worst! Compete with me everywhere! He also makes trouble when marrying a wife. Most likely he knows that I am attracted to Axiu, so he did it on purpose!"
The emperor was in a good mood. He looked at him and said, "Go ahead! What's wrong? If you want her, she will be your concubine. If you don't want her, the Lin family will marry her to Qi Erlang!"
Li Cheng's legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground, "Why are you doing this to me...why..."
The emperor urged, "You decide quickly, I still have something to do!"
He watched his seventh son's sweat drip down his face and his hair turned pale... He felt extremely happy.
Are you going to stop calling me?
Lin Ji said, "Your Highness, King Cheng, your Majesty is far-sighted and considerate of everything. My niece has no parents. She has just arrived in the capital and has never been in charge of the Nuo family's business. She has nothing to do with you as my concubine. She can't take care of these things."
, it will also be very tiring! Yichen thinks that this position of concubine is a great good thing. I am very grateful!"
Li Cheng looked at him blankly and murmured, "Yes, she has no parents and is an orphan. No one cares about what is best for her, and no one can support her..."
Lin Ji blushed and lowered his head in shame.
The emperor didn't like hearing it anymore. "Okay, okay! Why are you talking so far? If this is it, get out of here!" After saying that, he picked up the things on the table and looked at them. "Big fat boy! Go and get Zhang Dongzhi."
Call!"
He looked like he was about to do something.
Li Cheng stood there sadly, thought for a while, shook his head, stood up slowly, and said seriously, "Father, you are the emperor and your father, I can't resist. Okay...then I will show off to you."
Concubine. However, before you say anything ugly about your son, she is the only son in this life. No matter how many concubines you have, your son will not marry or touch her!"
After that, he knelt down on one leg, bowed, turned around and strode away!
The emperor opened his mouth and pointed at him, unable to speak for a long time.
In the afternoon, the emperor's marriage gift arrived at the Lin family.
When Lin Zhixiu found out, she couldn't breathe and fainted.
