Chapter 205 The History of the Struggle of a Lady of Death (37)

Lin Shoufu was in a hurry to see his granddaughter, and Gu Chenxuan had to return to the palace to report.So the two bid farewell to each other without much delay at the gate of the Lin Mansion.

As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I saw everyone celebrating around my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter.Lin Shoufu, who was thinking of "my family has a girl who is just growing up", also stroked his beard at this time, thinking with some complacency.

Soon someone also congratulated him.Lin Shoufu didn't know why at first, but gradually he heard some clues.It was originally the granddaughter and the crown prince bestowed by the emperor.Thinking about that man saluting himself at the gate of the Lin Mansion just now, it turned out that it was a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken—it had no good intentions!
But with so many guests here, Lin Shoufu couldn't help but change his face.After all, no matter how you say it, he is still the crown prince. There has always been an irreversible gap between monarch and minister, and now he has to accept it.

Now that the Jiji ceremony is over, the guests have no reason to stay.So they left one after another.When the guests left, Lin Shoufu ordered people to close the door of the mansion tightly and no longer entertain guests today.

All the elders of the Lin family gathered in the hall, and Su Yu was listening quietly.

"Father, what do you mean by the emperor's sudden decree for Mo'er to be the princess?" Lin Shangshu was a little puzzled.

Generally speaking, in order to prevent foreign relatives from infringing rights, the emperors of all dynasties will comprehensively consider the woman's family background when bestowing marriages on their sons.Lin Shoufu is not the only person in the high position of the Lin family now, which does not conform to the royal style of bestowing marriages.Lin Shangshu couldn't help worrying, but the Lin family has always been a pure minister, and has never participated in those princes' forces, so he doesn't know what the emperor is thinking now.

Lin Shoufu stroked his beard, he knew some inside stories about that year.So he said: "At this time, it may not be as serious as you think. Don't say that the emperor ordered the marriage. Today in the morning, the emperor directly announced that the son of Concubine Mei was the crown prince. Concubine Mei, I think you should all remember, Mei. When the concubine entered the palace, it was because she did not have a family background as a foundation, so she was poisoned successively. Later, she died in childbirth. With the status of Concubine Mei in the eyes of the emperor, it is not surprising that Concubine Mei's son is the crown prince. .It’s just a prince with no foundation. If the emperor has such a day, how can he gain a foothold in the court. I think the other princes are also dissatisfied. Now the emperor is afraid that he wants to pull my Lin family to be the prince. Emboldened."

you do not say.No one in the entire Dugu Dynasty knows how much the eldest daughter of the Lin family is valued in the Lin family.Lin Shoufu is also a veteran minister with a lot of talents all over the world. Lin Shangshu is in charge of the first department. The other three masters of the Lin family are also serving as officials and holding important positions.No matter how you think about it, the Lin family will be a strong backing.

Mrs. Lin doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, but she attaches great importance to her daughter's marriage.The Lin family's original idea was to let Lin Yumo marry someone with a slightly lower family background.Although it is said that "marry a woman from a low family and marry a daughter from a high family", the Lin family is worried that Lin Yumo will have an unhappy life in her husband's family in the future, so if she chooses a family with a lower family background, they will not be able to rely on the power of the Lin family. If you dare to treat Lin Yumo harshly, as long as the Lin family is here, she will naturally let her live comfortably.But now the emperor's gift of marriage completely disrupted their original plan.

"Father, if you marry into the royal family, I'm afraid Mo'er's temperament will not be able to deal with those intrigues." Mrs. Lin was very conflicted.Although the crown prince had never appeared in front of everyone before.But thinking of the prince who is obsessed with women today, Mrs. Lin can't help but worry that the prince also has such a temperament.Lin's family is monogamous, and Mo'er's temper can't bear setbacks, this is definitely not a good marriage in her opinion.

"Even if we disagree with Mo'er marrying into the royal family, the imperial decree has been issued, so we can still resist it!" Shoufu Lin frowned.
