Chapter 27: Prime Minister Jin tricked Murong Che into a cold heart
The Lin family acted very quickly and delivered the betrothal gift as promised in the afternoon.
There was a quarrel in Prime Minister Jin's house.
"Dad, the Lin family really sent the betrothal gift. What should I do?" It was Jin Qiyan who was sitting on the chair acting playfully.
Ever since he met Xuan Yi by the lake that day, he really couldn't forget Xuan Yi. Even though he was almost beaten up by Yan Ran, he still didn't regret it. Finally, his men found out that the beautiful woman he saw was Mr. Fan of Jiyuntang.
Mrs. Jin, the daughter of the family, hurriedly asked the number one matchmaker in Beijing to arrange a match, but unexpectedly she came back disappointed.
"Yan'er, what a shame are you looking like this!" Prime Minister Jin waved his sleeves and accused his son of being a piece of shit who couldn't help himself up the wall. He was really helpless towards this son, hating him for not living up to his expectations and causing trouble for himself every day.
However, Mrs. Jin loved her son very much, leaving him helpless.
"Dad, this Lin Bingwei obviously doesn't take you seriously." Jin Qiyan hated the Lin Mansion so much that his teeth itched with hatred, especially Lin Yuchen. First, Lin Yuchen saved Yu'er and made him fail to molest Yu'er. Now even the one he likes
Women were also taken advantage of by him.
"Lin Bingwei!" Jin Weizheng clenched his fists, and he became angry when he mentioned this name. He was the only one in the court who openly dared to confront him. Relying on the emperor's favor for him, he never took him seriously.
.
"Sir, I heard that Lin Bingwei's long-lost daughter is back and she is as beautiful as a flower. Is it true?" The prime minister's wife, dressed in jewelry and jade, came over and handed her a cup of tea.
"He's back. Lin Bingwei showed off for a while. All the ministers came to congratulate him. I feel disgusted just thinking about it. Isn't it just that he has a daughter? What's so great about it."
Jin Weizheng only had two sons. Jin Qifan was married and worked in the Xing Department, and he was a responsible man. However, Jin Qiyan was idle all day long, doing nothing, and was always messing around, which caused him a lot of trouble.
"The Lin family's daughters have reached marriageable age, so why not find a matchmaker to talk to Yan'er," said Mrs. Jin.
"Nonsense!" He, Jin Weizheng, and Lin Bingwei are incompatible with each other, so how could he be his in-laws? However, Mrs. Jin's words reminded him, Jin Weizheng's eyes showed a dark light, didn't the emperor say that he would choose a concubine for the third prince? Okay?
, Lin Bingwei, if I make you laugh, aren’t you my precious daughter? This time I have to make you cry and you don’t even dare to cry.
A few days later.
"Che, Murong Che—" Qingchu came to the third prince's house and looked around for Murong Che, looking anxious and excited.
"What's the matter?" Murong Che, who was practicing calligraphy on the stone table in the garden, frowned. His cousin has always been very steady. What happened today...
"Che, my father just came back from the court and said that the emperor has listened to Prime Minister Jin's recommendation and asked you to choose one of Prime Minister Lin's two daughters to be the princess."
"Choose a princess, so quickly?" Murong Che frowned and shook the brush in his hand hard. It had only been a few days, how could he have chosen a candidate so quickly.
"I'm afraid it will be announced that you will enter the palace soon. I heard that the two daughters of the Lin family are both beautiful and fragrant, so you don't have to worry too much." Murong Qingchu patted him on the shoulder and asked him to relax.
"Cousin, you clearly know -" Murong Che raised his eyebrows. That day when he went to Shangguan Mansion, he told Shangguan Qingchu all his worries, but he didn't expect him to encourage him.
"Che, Wei Qian'er has become the Crown Princess, what about you..."
"Shangguan Qingchu——" Murong Che's face changed suddenly, and Shangguan Qingchu had to keep silent and swallow the next words.
The two people looked at each other wordlessly for a while.
"The Third Prince, General Shangguan, and Eunuch Liu have arrived and are waiting in the front hall."
"Let's go into the palace." Shangguan Qingchu patted Murong Che on the shoulder and reminded: "The two daughters of Prime Minister Lin's family, Lin Yanran, just came back after being separated for four years. I heard that they are gentle by nature and are good at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting. Lin Yanran
Xueqin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all equally applicable, but his temper is more arrogant, so you must be careful when choosing one."
Murong Che just moved forward as if he didn't hear anything. It didn't matter who he chose. This was just the wish of the emperor and his mother-in-law. He only agreed to it because of his mother-in-law's health.
"Che'er kowtows to my father and my concubine." Murong Che saluted and sat on the chair brought by the eunuch.
"Che'er, Prime Minister Lin's two daughters are virtuous, virtuous, and extremely beautiful. You can choose one of them to be your concubine," the emperor said calmly.
"But it is up to my father and mother to make the decision." There was no expression on the third prince's stern face, but his hands were clenched in private, and what was supposed to come had come.
"Che'er, now that your marriage is successful, mother doesn't have to worry about anything anymore." Speaking of excitement, Concubine De began to cough heavily. Recently, her health has been getting worse day by day. She is always worried that Che'er will not agree to get married.
what to do.
"Purple smoke." Murong Fengyun helped her in time, brought her water personally, and helped her drink it, which made Concubine De feel touched again. Although this man had countless concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, at least he still cared about her.
of.
Murong Fengyun saw that Concubine De was fine and then winked at Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu immediately came over with two unopened scrolls.
"Third Prince, please take a look."
Murong Che looked at the emperor and Concubine De in surprise.
"Cheer, here are the portraits I asked the artist to secretly paint for the two daughters of the Lin family. The two sisters have their own merits, but they are both beautiful women. Cheer, please choose one." Concubine De smiled with both eyebrows and eyes. She just saw it.
After seeing their portraits, she couldn't help but fall in love with them. No matter who she was, she would be very happy if she could become the princess.
"Che'er won't read it, so as not to dazzle the eyes. Since they are both looking at the beauty of the moon, let Prime Minister Lin choose one." Murong Che lowered his head respectfully, it doesn't matter, he won't be tempted by any of them.
They wouldn't even take a look. "Okay, let Prime Minister Lin choose a girl." Your Majesty, Concubine De was not only unaware of Murong Che's true feelings, but instead felt happy because of Murong Che's dazzling words.
I'm afraid of being spoiled for choice, but it seems that I don't care about the love affairs between men and women.
Murong Che handed the portrait back to Eunuch Liu without any joy and left the palace. Little did he know that because of his disdain, he missed a lot of what should have been a wonderful time.
