A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu
Chapter 43 The Emperor’s Thoughts
Your Highness and the others watched the conversation between the Queen Mother and Prince Xiao An, who seemed indifferent.
At this moment, the emperor spoke:
"I have made the decision. Today happens to be the Queen Mother's birthday, and I will help her share her worries."
The emperor said this to comfort the empress dowager, and then issued an order:
"Today, I grant a marriage between Prince Xiao'an Liang Jingsui and Prime Minister Lin's granddaughter Lin Qingyang. The marriage will be completed before the end of the year. Let the Imperial Astronomical Bureau choose a good date."
Since the emperor has issued an edict, everyone has to obey it and express their gratitude.
Duke Qing was pushed aside, and the Crown Prince was unwilling to accept it, but the Emperor had spoken, and if he said anything more, it would be disobeying the Emperor's order.
Princess Qi said, "Your Majesty, even if the marriage decree has not been obtained, the Emperor has promised to give me a reward. In this case, let me recognize Miss Lin as my goddaughter. Is this request not too much?"
Princess Qi didn't seem to be affected by what had just happened, and she was still smiling sweetly.
The emperor finally agreed to the reward and accepted it very readily.
"Okay, I agree to this request. I will confer the title of Princess of Anping on Lin Qingyang. Princess Qi will be satisfied."
"Satisfied, satisfied." Everyone in the palace was very happy, except the prince, who had a bitter look on his face.
Officials from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau reported:
"Your Majesty, the best day of the year is two months from now, and after that we have to wait until next year."
"So fast?"
"Yes, when the Crown Prince was asked to choose a concubine, he filled in three dates. However, since this date was too close to the Queen Mother's birthday, it was decided to be next year."
Officials from the Imperial Observatory reported.
The Queen Mother said cheerfully: "Although time is a little tight, Jing Sui is older than Jing Quan after all, so we should get married first, in two months!"
The date is set like this, as if I am afraid that others will regret it.
Lin Qingyang and Prince Xiao An received the imperial decree in public, and the noble ladies in the capital were extremely satisfied with the result.
Everyone knows that Prince Xiao An is the most famous playboy in the capital. The fact that he doesn't have a wife is not because he doesn't want to get married, but there are rumors about him everywhere in the capital, and no girl wants to marry such a playboy. It is said that he has many concubines in his mansion, and his legend is everywhere in the capital's wine shops and teahouses.
Lin Qingyang didn't show any extra expression in the palace. Those noble ladies in the capital thought that Lin Qingyang had her own grievances, but Lin Qingyang hadn't reacted to that point yet. She just felt puzzled. Why was she suddenly arranged to get married on the empress dowager's birthday?
The banquet continued with toasts and cups being exchanged, and after dark, a fireworks show was prepared outside.
Fireworks fell like rain all over the sky.
The Queen Mother had a very happy birthday.
Because of the arranged marriage episode just now, many noble ladies came to Lin Qingyang to "congratulate".
"Congratulations, Miss Lin. Congratulations, Miss Lin."
"Congratulations, Miss Lin, for becoming Princess An and being conferred the title of County Lady."
Among the congratulations, few were sincere. This "country bumpkin" who had just arrived in the capital had won the heart of the prince and was everyone's enemy. Now she was going to marry the most dissolute playboy in the capital. Everyone felt "pleased" to "add insult to injury".
In the front are ministers and their families accompanying the Queen Mother to watch the fireworks and enjoy the peace and prosperity.
Behind them, a group of noble ladies from the capital surrounded the girl from the Lin family and "spoke sweet words" to entertain themselves.
After Lin Qingyang's experience in her previous life, she avoided the Prince's Mansion as much as possible, but she didn't want to escape from the dragon's den and fall into the tiger's den again. Prince An should not be a bad person, but she felt that he was definitely not a good man.
Among the many noble ladies, only Zhuang Weining gave her sincere blessings.
"Sister, Prince An's Mansion is not as scary as they say. Don't worry. You will know when you marry there."
Lin Qingyang didn't even know what he was worried about right now.
Lin Qingyang thought that one of Prince Xiao An and the Crown Prince would come to see her, but in the end, no one came.
She felt relieved that the prince hadn't come to cause trouble, but wouldn't Prince An come out to explain? Now there were so many people around, it was difficult for her to take the initiative to find a man, so she had to wait until the banquet was over.
Before the fireworks were over, Prime Minister Lin sent someone to ask her to go back home, saying that he had already informed the Queen Mother and she could leave directly.
Lin Qingyang followed the servant to the Lin Mansion's carriage, where Lin Meir and her aunt were already.
Lin Xiang and his uncle were in another carriage.
"Everyone is here, let's go back home."
The carriage moved slowly.
"Congratulations, sister. Not long after arriving in Beijing, you have been granted the title of county princess and will become the future Princess An."
Lin Meir said all the facts, but her tone was sarcastic.
Lin Meir didn't like Lin Qingyang and didn't hide it at all.
"Mei'er, your cousin is excellent in every way. You should learn more from her. If you were half as sensible as Yang'er, I wouldn't worry so much." The aunt seemed to be speaking for Lin Qingyang.
"Yes, my cousin is going to marry Prince Xiao An soon. Prince Xiao An is the emperor's nephew. He has a title, military merits, and good looks. I heard that he has many concubines. But my sister will be the principal wife when she marries him. I think my sister will definitely be favored by the prince."
Lin Meir's tone was sarcastic without any disguise, and she deliberately told Lin Qingyang about Prince An's "romanticism".
"Sister, you have only been in Beijing for a short time, so you don't know what Prince An is like. I am afraid that you will think that he has married someone high up, so I specifically told you so that you can be prepared."
This Lin Meir is deliberately disgusting, as if she is really afraid that others will have a good life.
Lin Qingyang just looked at Lin Meir indifferently.
The aunt did not say a word to interrupt and tolerated Lin Meir's "dirty words".
"Thank you for your kindness, sister." Lin Qingyang just said lightly.
Seeing that Lin Qingyang didn't seem to react, Lin Meir was very angry. She hoped to see Lin Qingyang crying and making a fuss, or being frightened, but Lin Qingyang's reaction made her at a loss. How could she be so indifferent?
Lin Qingyang had this reaction all the way. When she arrived at the mansion and got off the carriage, Prime Minister Lin called her to the study.
She thought to herself: Will you let me rest?
Lin Qingyang was standing in the Prime Minister's study, and the Prime Minister had no intention of letting her sit down.
"The marriage is granted today. It is a fact. You and your mother are similar in that you are both troublesome. Before the wedding, try not to go out, for fear of causing trouble. You will be busy for the next two months."
Lin Qingyang was instructed that the marriage was arranged too hastily. If everyone didn't know everything that happened at the banquet, it would probably be misunderstood if they were in such a hurry to get married.
Lin Qingyang returned to her room, removed her makeup, took a bath and rested. She felt that what happened during the day was strange. It was ridiculous that Princess Qi and the Crown Prince were fighting for her, and the Duke of Qing, who usually did not like to show off, also came out to make trouble. As a result, the Emperor granted her marriage to Prince Xiaoan, who had nothing to do with this matter. This was simply unbelievable.
He tossed and turned, unable to sleep that night, with a lot of questions in his mind. When the rooster crowed, Lin Qingyang began to feel sleepy.
