Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

After they chatted for a while, Tao Ling took Ling Bingqing back.

On the carriage.

"How is it? Did you tell Ah Yin about this?"

"Yeah, I said it."

"Then what does Ah Yin think? Do you think highly of your brother?"

"Ayin said she wanted to think about it again, and she was worried that my brother already had a girl he liked, and she didn't want to ruin the relationship for him."

"What about Ah Yin? Does she have a favorite gentleman?"

"I didn't ask that... I don't know how to ask it."

"I talked to Ah Xu, and Ah Xu said that it depends on Ah Yin herself, but she is also worried that the brat has someone else in his heart, and Ah Yin will be wronged if she marries him."

"Do you have a girl you like? I was in such a hurry this afternoon that I forgot to ask you."

"Based on my understanding of that brat, there shouldn't be any, but it's hard to say. I'll ask him when I get back home."

"Mom." Ye Qingyin saw Jiang Xu coming and stood up to greet her.

"How is Ayu?"

"The fever has gone away, but he hasn't woken up yet."

"I'm glad the fever has gone down. Did Aqing come to look for you just now?"

"Ah."

"I suppose Ah Qing also told me about that?"

Ye Qingyin knew that Jiang Xu was talking about the arranged marriage.

"Yeah, I said it."

"I didn't expect His Majesty to go back on his word. He clearly said..."

"Mom." Ye Qingyin called out and shook her head slightly to indicate that Jiang Xu should not say any more.

"What are you afraid of in your own home?" Jiang Xu was unhappy. "Then what do you think?"

"I have met Master Ling and I think he is pretty good, but I don't know if he has someone in mind. If so, I will definitely not agree. But if not, maybe I can give it a try."

"Try it?"

"Well, let's try to get along first. Ah Qing said that if it's not suitable, you can tell her, and then they will find a way to cancel the engagement."

"But if the marriage is really granted, how can it be cancelled so easily?"

"So, this marriage cannot be granted."

"Can't grant it? Then what did you just say about giving it a try?"

"We can't grant it, but we can decide it. We need to announce the engagement before the emperor's decree granting the marriage comes down. This way, if we want to cancel it later, it won't damage the royal family's reputation and won't be considered disobeying the emperor's decree."

Jiang Xu nodded after hearing this, "This is indeed a good idea."

"But I haven't told Aqing about this yet. I want to confirm Mr. Ling's attitude before making a decision." Ye Qingyin said.

"I also told Madam Ling that if Si Chen has a girl he likes, we will definitely not agree to this marriage. She said that she will go and ask when she returns today. I will visit the Ling Mansion tomorrow to discuss this matter in detail." Jiang Xu touched Ye Qingyin's head, "Good child, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."

Ye Qingyin took Jiang Xu's hand and held it in hers, "Mom, don't feel wronged. Think about it from another angle. This is actually a good marriage, isn't it?"

Jiang Xu knew that Ye Qingyin was comforting her.

"Ayin, remember, you don't have to do anything you don't like for anyone. If you don't want this marriage, just refuse it. Dad and mom will find a way to handle the rest." Jiang Xu held Ye Qingyin's hand back.

"I understand, Mom." Ye Qingyin felt very lucky. After Ye Ziyu came back, her family did not ignore her and treated her the same way as before. Moreover, she also had a younger sister who loved and wanted to protect her, so she could no longer act capriciously and cause trouble.

"Ayu's fever has subsided, so you don't have to stay here anymore. Go back and rest."

"Okay, I'll take you home." Ye Qingyin helped Jiang Xu leave.

"mother!"

"mother!"

"mother!"

"Why are you shouting? I, your mother, am still alive. Why are you shouting so loudly?" Tao Ling said angrily.

"No, mother, the emperor wants to grant me a marriage?" Ling Sichen asked in disbelief.

"How do you know?" Tao Ling blurted out. She hadn't told her son yet, and wasn't this something the emperor had discussed secretly with his own master?

Looking at Tao Ling's expression, Ling Sichen was stunned, "It really happened."

"Let me ask you, do you have a girl you like?" Tao Ling asked directly.

"No."

"To be honest, if you do, then this marriage cannot be completed. Your father and I should go and explain it to the emperor so as not to delay the girl's marriage."

Ling Sichen suddenly had an idea, "So if there is a marriage, then we don't have to get married?" Ling Sichen didn't know who the marriage was for, so he asked Qin Luoheng and Fang Jingxiu, but they both said they didn't know. It was just that when they happened to pass by Master Ling's carriage, they heard Master Ling say, "Why would you give my son a marriage?"

Ling Sichen really didn't want to marry someone he didn't know or didn't like. Among the princesses, there wasn't any one he liked.

"You are dreaming. If you have a girl you like, we will ask the emperor to change the marriage partner. It's okay for you to offend the emperor, but don't delay others. Tell me, do you have a girl you like? Who is she?"

Ling Sichen sighed, "No, your son stays with the young marquis and his friends every day, so how could he have a crush on any girl? Tell me, which princess is it?"

"What princess?"

"Who is the marriage partner? Which princess is it?" Ling Sichen had a dying expression.

Tao Ling slapped Ling Sichen in the face, "You are dreaming. With your character, will the emperor grant you the princess in marriage? It's not even dark yet, and you're already dreaming?"

Ling Sichen curled his lips, "If it's not the princess, then who is it?"

Tao Ling rolled her eyes at Ling Sichen and said, "Ye Qingyin, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, I don't know how lucky you are that the emperor would marry Ah Yin, who is a very good girl."

"The Ye Mansion..." Ling Sichen's expression came to life, "Mother, what did you say? The person to be married is Ye Qingyin, the eldest daughter of the Ye Mansion?"

Tao Ling thought Ling Sichen was unwilling, "You are still unwilling? A Yin is such a good girl, talented and beautiful, with both literary and military skills. You should be happy if I grant you the marriage."

"No... I'm not unwilling." Ling Sichen said, "I just didn't expect the emperor would grant us a marriage."

"You... like Ah Yin?" Tao Ling heard Ling Sichen say that he was willing. "You have to think it over carefully. Don't let Ah Yin down just because of a momentary impulse or other reasons."

"No, it's not a spur of the moment." Ling Sichen couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Actually, I liked Miss Ye before, but ever since she saved the emperor last time, she asked for freedom of marriage. If you want to marry her, you have to meet her conditions. I have to be better than her in both civil and martial arts, but I can't compare to her. So I didn't think about it anymore." Ling Sichen sighed.

"That's because you are incompetent and cannot meet her requirements." Tao Ling looked at Ling Sichen with contempt.

"Mom, we have been a family of scholars for generations, no one can compare to us in martial arts." Ling Sichen felt aggrieved.

"Oh, you're still feeling wronged. Isn't your sister's martial arts quite powerful?"

"You don't want to teach your sister martial arts."

"You're saying that as if it would work if I don't give it to you." Tao Ling rolled her eyes again, "Don't be too happy too soon. We don't know what A-Yin thinks. If A-Yin doesn't want to, we can't force her. Then you can find a way to get A-Yin to cancel the marriage in a dignified manner. Don't damage her reputation."

Ling Sichen: ????

"Mother, who is your biological son? If you don't hurt her reputation, isn't it mine that is hurt? Isn't it Ling Mansion's?"

"You are not allowed to damage the reputation of the Ling family. As for yours...figure it out yourself." Tao Ling said and turned to leave. "Buddha bless you. I hope Ah Yin will be interested in this brat."

After Tao Ling left, Ling Bingqing appeared, jumped up and put her hands on Ling Sichen's shoulders.

Ling Sichen almost fell down. After standing up straight, he slapped Ling Bingqing's hand down, "Do you still look like a lady from a noble family?"

"Tsk." Ling Bingqing rolled her eyes.

"What are you talking about?"

"Do you really like Ayin?" Ling Bingqing asked.

"You eavesdropped?!"

"Who eavesdropped? I was standing over there just now." Ling Bingqing pointed at a place with his chin, "You just didn't see it."

Ling Sichen swung his sleeves and tried to leave, but Ling Bingqing stopped him, "Why are you leaving? You haven't answered my question yet. Do you really like Ah Yin?"

Ling Sichen blushed, "What does this have to do with you?"

"Of course it's related. Ayin is my good sister. If you don't really like her, don't harm Ayin." Ling Bingqing clasped her arms across her chest and looked at Ling Sichen.

"Don't worry, I really like you." Ling Sichen looked as if someone had seen through his little thoughts, and then he left.

"Hey, when did you fall in love with her? Tell me quickly." Ling Bingqing chased after him with a gossipy expression.
