Emperor Mu Xuan did not directly tell General Lin that he wanted Lin Cheng to be the master. It was enough for Emperor Mu Xuan to reveal this intention.
Naturally, General Lin would not confidently say that it would be okay for his son to be the master. After all, if General Lin had allowed Lin Cheng to marry, he would have had ten or eight grandsons by now. The dispute between father and son has a long history in this regard.
After a long time, it was obvious that General Lin was still the loser. However, the Shang Lord was really looking forward to the glory that he couldn't even hope for, and General Lin was really unwilling to give up this opportunity.
General Lin was rejected by Lin Cheng as soon as he opened his mouth. General Lin simply left the matter to his eldest daughter, "Is there any way I can persuade your elder brother?"
Mrs. Liang also felt that the opportunity was rare. However, facing the same difficulties as General Lin, if Lin Cheng was willing to get married, he would not wait until now.
Mrs. Liang said, "This matter is not urgent. Why don't I go into the palace and ask my aunt first? I don't know which of the two princesses in the palace is the blue-eyed eldest brother. It won't be too late to make plans after we find out."
"That makes sense." General Lin said, "Just let go of this matter. As long as you can get your eldest brother married, you will be a great contributor to our family."
Mrs. Liang sighed, "My eldest brother has never been married, so I don't think the marriage is here."
A little smile appeared on General Lin's rough and tough face, "I just hope that I will comply with your words!"
Concubine Lin, the biological mother of the second prince in the palace, is the direct sister of General Lin and the direct aunt of Mrs. Liang. It is not difficult for Mrs. Liang to enter the palace. Concubine Lin's palace was slightly neglected due to the incident of the second prince. Mrs. Liang became a layman at home, and Concubine Lin often
Asking her to go to the palace for prayers was partly to broaden her mind, and secondly, she wanted to meet her mother-in-law's family, talk to her, and feel better.
Mrs. Liang was holding the newly made loquat fried in Concubine Lin's palace. When talking about the marriage, Concubine Lin said, "This time, Your Majesty went to the palace to escape the summer heat. I was unable to accompany him and didn't know about it. This is a great thing. You
Can father accept it?"
"My father is so eager to get my eldest brother married, how can I not want to? Your Majesty said something, so my father asked me to come over to discuss it with my aunt." Mrs. Liang said, "This time, the two princesses are choosing the prince-in-law together. Aunt Yi
Look, which princess has taken a fancy to eldest brother?"
Concubine Lin thought for a while, "I can't tell for sure at the moment. I heard that Her Majesty and the Queen Mother carefully selected four young talents. Your eldest brother should not be on the list of consorts. How did you choose him?"
Mrs. Liang briefly told the story of His Majesty Lin Cheng's martial arts test against four young talents. Concubine Lin's eyes showed a hint of pride and smiled, "It's no wonder that Cheng'er's martial arts is so good that even if you want to find an opponent, you can't."
easy."
However, Concubine Lin could not say which princess fell in love with Lin Cheng. "Jiayue has always been meek, so it is unlikely that she would choose someone other than the one on the list. Jiaxiang is more willful. She likes young people who are extremely handsome and full of talents.
Cheng'er's appearance is certainly outstanding, and I heard that Lord Du and Mr. Chen, who are favored by Your Majesty this time, are all first-class handsome."
As she said this, Concubine Lin's eyebrows frowned slightly, "After all, your father is in the Imperial Guard, so it's not easy for him to be too close to the East Palace. According to the elder brother's caution, if it was Jiaxiang, he would have prevaricated it at that time, and His Majesty would not
Mention it with our family."
Concubine Lin frowned and looked at Mrs. Liang, "That must be Jiayue."
Mrs. Liang's face lit up with joy, "I have not been back to the imperial capital for long, and I have also heard about Princess Jiayue's reputation for being gentle and virtuous. If Princess Jiayue marries the eldest brother, it will be a blessing to our Lin family."
"It's not like that." Concubine Lin also laughed.
In terms of status, Princess Jiaxiang is naturally more noble, but the Lin family is based in the Imperial Guard and should not be close to the East Palace. Princess Jiayue is an excellent candidate. Concubine Hui's mother lineage is not obvious, and she is the only daughter. In other words, Jiayue
The princess does not have much involvement with any parties. Although she is not more noble than Princess Jiaxiang, she is truly His Majesty's eldest daughter.
What a wonderful marriage!
Concubine Lin wanted to help her mother-in-law, but she was troubled by the second prince and could not accompany him to the palace. Concubine Lin pointed out a clear way for her niece, "You go find Erlang's wife. Sister Fu has always been liked by the Queen Mother. At the moment
It was the Queen Mother's birthday, so I made some needlework for the Queen Mother and asked her to send it to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother couldn't bear to leave her and would definitely let her live in the palace."
Concubine Lin said, "Sister Fu is young after all. If you go with her, you can give her some advice."
"The second prince's concubine is very thorough in everything. I don't need to mention anything else." Mrs. Liang smiled, "I have also heard that the second prince's concubine is known as virtuous and filial."
Concubine Lin smiled and nodded, "My daughter-in-law is indeed a wonderful one. Thanks to Erlang's side, she is there to take care of her. However, she is young after all, and you are also a cousin, not an outsider."
The Third Prince's Mansion.
Li Yuhua is well-informed, far better than Mu Anzhi, and even better than Concubine Lin and others who are not in the palace.
She told Mu Anzhi that Princess Jiayue fell in love with Lin Cheng. Mu Anzhi couldn't believe it and asked twice, "Did you hear that right?"
Li Yuhua asked unhappily, "Is there something wrong with my ears? It was the imperial grandmother who told me about me and told me not to tell others. I told you as an exception. You are not allowed to tell others."
"Why can't you tell others about such a happy event?"
"I heard from the Imperial Grandmother that Your Majesty only revealed this idea to General Lin. After all, General Lin has not yet gotten married at his age, and he was not on the list of candidates for the Prince Consort. Our family also had to inquire, so the Imperial Grandmother said that I
Keep it a secret first." Li Yuhua asked Mu Anzhi proudly, "Am I right? When I saw General Lin last time, I felt that he was suitable to be the consort."
Mu Anzhi looked at Li Yuhua's proud look in a funny way and couldn't help but ask her, "How did you see it then?"
Li Yuhua raised an eyebrow at the tea cup on the table and said to him, "How can I ask someone with nothing?"
"Okay." Mu Anzhi poured a cup of warm tea and offered it, "Can you tell me?"
Li Yuhua put on a big show and sipped tea and said to Mu Anzhi, "I can see it at a glance. General Lin is born to be stable and reliable. I'm not saying that, like Mr. Du Changshi and Mr. Chen, although he is very talented and has both civil and military skills,
But looking at the two of them, one is obsessed with dancing and the other is as cold as ice. The two of them are more popular among the eldest ladies who don’t lack anything. But sister Jiayue, she is the eldest daughter of her father, but she wants everything.
Lower than Princess Jiaxiang, Empress Hui has never been in good health. Sister Jiayue usually has to take care of Empress Hui's health, so when it comes to marriage, she must prefer a steady and reliable man. In fact, if it weren't for General Lin, Mr. Li would
, Mr. Yao will both fall in the eyes of sister Jiayue, but they are still slightly inferior to General Lin."
Mu Anzhi thought Li Yuhua was making nonsense, but he didn't expect Li Yuhua to tell many truths. Mu Anzhi asked Li Yuhua, "Did you marry me because I was handsome and suave, or because I was steady and reliable?"
Li Yuhua glanced at him sideways, "Seeing that you have a rotten egg face all day long and you are blind and don't want to marry me. Normally, for this kind of person, I will let him experience my ability firsthand!"
Mu An is so happy.
Just like Concubine Hui, Princess Jiaxiang and her daughter, who have no contact with all parties, Mu Anzhi has always kept to himself, and has a cold relationship with all parties except for those who are on official missions from the Ministry of Punishment.
Mu Anzhi is still optimistic about Princess Jiaxiang's marriage.
In Mu Anzhi's opinion, if a gentle and sensible sister like Princess Jiaxiang could get a good marriage, he would also be happy to see it happen.
Li Yuhua glared at Mu Anzhi, stuffed bayberries into his mouth, and said to Mu Anzhi, "You're too silly to say that. In the past, Princess Jiaxiang always took the lead in everything. This time, when choosing the consort, the Queen Empress let Sister Jiayue choose first. I
Guess there must be something going on here."
The sweet and sour bayberry juice overflowed his mouth. Mu Anzhi spit out the core, took another bayberry, and said casually, "What's so surprising about this? It's probably because the person with the eyes on the top of his head didn't notice it."
Li Yuhua's eyes widened, "You didn't like any of them?" Li Yuhua saw with his own eyes how Empress Dowager Lan selected the prince's consort for the princess. It was really a list of noble children from all over the imperial capital. Empress Dowager Lan removed all her nephews and grandnephews.
Just to choose a prince-in-law with both talent and appearance and outstanding character for the princess.
"What's so strange about this? She always thinks that she is the Nine Heavens Mystic Girl and no one can match her." Mu An sneered and said to Li Yuhua, "I have to give sister Jiayue a backup wedding gift."
Li Yuhua responded with a smile.
When the second princess came over, Li Yuhua was talking to Empress Dowager Lan in Yongshou Pavilion. When Empress Dowager Lan heard that the second princess had arrived, she kept calling for people to come in.
The second princess came with her baby daughter Zhen. Queen Mother Lan happily took her great-granddaughter and said, "Why did you come here on such a hot day?"
"Yesterday I went to the palace to pay my respects to my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law said that the Queen's grandmother's birthday was coming, and she made some needlework. I also remembered the Queen's grandmother in my heart, so I brought Sister Zhen over to pay my respects to the Queen's grandmother."
The palace attendants brought warm towels, and the second princess wiped her face briefly. Empress Dowager Lan said, "It's such a hot day, why are you so anxious? It's still early for my birthday. It would be bad if you catch the heat."
"It's okay. We went out early in the morning and it's not hot." The second princess smiled and wiped her daughter's face. Sister Zhen covered her forehead with her little hand and said in a sweet voice, "No, no, wipe."
The second princess coaxed her, "Don't worry, I won't wipe the big red spot on your forehead."
Everyone laughed. Li Yuhua praised Sister Zhen, "Who ordered it for you? It looks so good."
"Mom." Sister Zhen is already over one year old and her pronunciation is very clear, but she still speaks word by word. Her beautiful and serious face makes people laugh.
Everyone praised her big red dot, and Sister Zhen was particularly happy. She put her arms around Queen Mother Lan's neck and called her "Old Zuer," which made Queen Mother Lan laugh non-stop.
The second princess came with her children, but Queen Mother Lan did not let them go back, and indeed left them to live with her.
Regarding the Lin family's thoughts, the second princess did not hide it from the Queen Mother Lan, "The Lin family is very willing, and the mother-in-law was very happy when she heard about it. Even General Lin, for some unknown reason, has not married for many years."
Empress Dowager Lan said, "I heard in the past that a woman he loved passed away, and General Lin could never forget his love."
The second princess frowned, "I also think it's strange that General Lin has never been married at this age. I asked my mother and concubine, and she said the same thing. I asked my grandfather before I came here, and my grandfather said that he had never heard of General Lin discussing a marriage."
Queen Mother Lan asked, "Is there some other reason?"
"I find it strange that the mother-in-law and the eldest aunt of the Lin family both have the same name. Even if there is such a thing, it seems as if they come from the same mold. Even if there is such a girl, her last name is that, even if she is a little girl,
Every family must have a reason for their name. How can people be convinced by being so vague?" The second prince's concubine was a little dissatisfied, "Even though I'm here, I still have to tell this matter fairly. General Lin is my father's confidant.
"Jiang, Sister Jiayue has known each other since childhood, and we are also sisters-in-law now. It would be nice to talk about this matter, but we have to figure out the cause and effect before we can discuss marriage."
"Yes." Queen Mother Lan said, "After all, Concubine Lin is more biased towards her mother's family. It's not like the Lin family's daughter became a widow and returned to the imperial capital to become a layman, so how can she still care about these worldly affairs."
The second princess lowered her voice and said, "Now she is dressed like a layman, wearing pure and simple clothes, but I think she is the one who takes the initiative in everything in the Lin family's house. The last time General Lin went to visit His Highness, she went with him. I am not familiar with her, my mother
The concubine actually likes her very much and treats her very close to her."
Empress Dowager Lan did not comment, and said to the second princess, "Since you are here, stay here. I just want to have a child by my side to talk and laugh with, so that I don't have to go back and listen to the Lin family woman's noise. But you can make arrangements in your house.
Already?"
"Everything is fine. His Highness also asked me to come to the Imperial Grandmother to fulfill my filial piety. I see that he has learned a lot from this lesson, and he is very well behaved now."
"Erlang should be taught a lesson, let him learn more from the third brother, and work as a errand in a down-to-earth manner, which is better than anything else."
The second prince's concubine also said, "Please let Your Highness calm down for a while. It was too busy at first and you lost your sense of proportion."
The second princess came to the palace. Li Yuhua often brought some clothes and toys for Sister Zhen to play with. The princess also often brought Brother Yu to Queen Mother Lan's place. The two children were about the same age. Brother Yu was slightly older by more than a month.
Slower than Sister Zhen.
Sister Zhen seems to be extraordinarily sensible, because every day her mother puts a big red dot on her eyebrows and shows off to Brother Yu, who is so greedy that he refuses to go out without a big red dot on his forehead.
With two children here, Queen Mother Lan's place is as lively as the Chinese New Year every day, and Emperor Mu Xuan also comes over every day to see his grandchildren.
Empress Dowager Lan saw that the rest of the Lin family might not be able to be Lin Cheng's master, so she discussed with Li Yuhua, "I think General Lin is a good soldier. Since we like him, we might as well ask openly if he is willing to marry our princess."
I’m not aggrieved, if he has something secret, our princess won’t have to worry about getting married.”
Li Yuhua has always been simple and direct, "I think this method is good."
After discussing with Emperor Mu Xuan, Queen Mother Lan handed the mission to Mu Anzhi and asked him to ask Lin Cheng.
Mu Anzhi told Li Yuhua, "Although it won't displease sister Jiaxiang, I think this will probably not work."
"Whether it's possible or not, it doesn't hurt to ask."
Under the grape trellis, the summer wind blew through the layers of green leaves, and bunches of grapes that had just dyed red were hanging between the veins of the leaves. They were quite green and lovely. Mu Anzhi invited Lin Cheng to drink tea and said, "The general and I are not familiar with each other either.
I'll put it bluntly. I was in a military competition, and my sister Princess Jiayue saw the general's prowess and fell in love with him. I wonder if the general is willing to marry the royal family?"
The surprise on Lin Cheng's face flashed across his face, "Father also asked me, thank you for your favor, Princess. I am afraid that I will let down Your Highness's kindness."
Mu An said, "Sister Jiayue is gentle and virtuous. Isn't she worthy of a general?"
"How dare you lower your rank?" Lin Cheng quickly stood up.
Mu Anzhi waved his hand, "Sit down and talk."
Lin Chengfu sat down and looked at Mu Anzhi, "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I once had a life-threatening person when I was young. Unfortunately, she died young, and I gave up my desire to marry."
Mu Anzhidao, "What kind of woman can the general never forget?"
Lin Cheng said, "She is just an ordinary woman, not to mention far inferior to Her Royal Highness. Even many ladies of the imperial capital are better than her. We met when we were poor, and she is the only wife in my heart from beginning to end."
Lin Cheng sighed softly and floated in the air, the wind whistled, as if he was also missing those years that had passed long ago.
