After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

Emperor Zhao Yuan looked at He Qingchen, his lips curled into a teasing smile: "The Lin family, it's not just to make up for the dowry, right?"

"Not only that, Lord Lin has to find a way to silence Youyou by marrying off his concubine's daughter. Most importantly, you and I must stop caring about it. If they don't show some sincerity, how can this matter be resolved?"

"so?"

"When you granted the marriage, the imperial decree only mentioned the legitimate daughter of the Lin family, but did not specify her name. Everyone naturally believed that there was only one legitimate daughter of the Lin family, Lin Qingran. But since Asi was married off, why can there only be one legitimate daughter of the Lin family?"

"What do you mean?"

"Father, since it is a replacement, then it should be a complete replacement. From now on, the one who ran away from marriage will no longer be the legitimate daughter of the Lin family or the beloved treasure of Madam Qi. The one next to me, who married into the palace in place of her, is the one."

"..."

Understood.

This guy not only wants the Lin family to completely deny Lin Qingran's identity, but also to publicly acknowledge that Shen Guidi is the Lin family's legitimate daughter 'Lin Qingran'. Not only that, he also wants the Lin family and the Qi family to willingly give compensation other than the dowry?

Emperor Zhaoyuan felt a little sad as he thought about this series of events.

He never knew that his son, who had always been law-abiding, could have such an unreasonable side.

Everyone knows that He Qingchen is not loved by the emperor, and is not accepted by the queen and her mother's family. Although he is the emperor's legitimate son, he has lived a life worse than that of the servants since childhood.

He had earned that prince's palace with all his military merits and injuries.

In the past, he was obviously very obedient and almost gave his whole heart to the Queen. Emperor Zhao Yuan had never expected that he would still be full of fangs and show his teeth and claws when confronting the Lin and Qi families.

Looking at him again, his eyes and brows were full of pride, and he was tall and straight like a pine tree that did not know how to bow to others.

Emperor Zhaoyuan's eyes lit up.

Yes, this is what he really looks like, right?

If he was just a docile and obedient person, how could he gain a firm foothold in the Southern Border Army in just a few years? And how could he dare to confront the Qi Family and the Lin Family head-on at this time?

Is it good or bad for this kid to be like this now?

Emperor Zhao Yuan was silent for a while.

Finally, he said, "Prince Yan, things have come to this point. No matter what the Lin family did, you woke up after Shen...after she married in place of you, so it can be considered a blessing in disguise. The merits and demerits can barely offset each other.

Besides, Minister Lin is her father after all. Since you have accepted her, you should give her some leeway.

I still need to think carefully about how to deal with Minister Lin.

After all, the things in this box are the cash equivalent of her dowry, so I will not take them.

I will ask Zhou Chonghai to go to my private storehouse and take out some good things for temporary use. How can it be justified that a princess does not even have a hairpin or ring for daily use?

As for your mother, I will talk to her myself."

He Qingchen opened his mouth and wanted to say something else.

Emperor Zhao Yuan raised his hand to interrupt what he was about to say, and said, "You have just gotten married, so go back first, take good care of yourself, and have children soon. I still want to have grandchildren."

He Qingchen looked unwilling, but Emperor Zhao Yuan ignored him.

Instead, Shen Guidi gently pulled his hand, with a warm and soothing look in her eyes.

He Qingchen was silent for a moment.

He could only helplessly lead Shen Guidi out of the Xuanzheng Hall.

Emperor Zhao Yuan squinted his eyes and watched their backs as they walked away. After a long while, he asked dejectedly, "I didn't expect that she has grown up so much. Haha~ Time is really unforgiving."

Zhou Chonghai raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Zhao Yuan.

The eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the heart, I dare not speak nonsense, I can only cautiously say something ambiguous: "That's right, I am old now."

"I really didn't expect that she would return to the capital in this way. You said, her mother and grandfather..." Emperor Zhao Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, but before he could finish what he wanted to say, he was interrupted by Zhou Chonghai's exclamation.

"His Majesty……"

"What are you doing, so loud?"

"Your Majesty, that is all in the past. There is no point in thinking about it anymore. Please take care of yourself. It is time for lunch. I will have someone serve you food. How about that?"

"I'm not hungry yet."

"That……"

"Forget it. Just send someone to tell Concubine Hui that I will go to her palace later and have dinner with her." Emperor Zhao Yuan thought about it. He hadn't been to the harem for some time.

**

It was only three hours since He Qingchen and the other person entered the palace.

The result of Emperor Zhaoyuan's handling of this matter was announced.

Because he could not accuse Lin Huaian of marrying off a concubine's daughter and showing disrespect to the royal family, he could only find a random crime of misbehaving in front of the palace and being ignorant of etiquette, and removed Lin Huaian from his position as Minister of Rites.

He was directly demoted to the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Rites.

The Northern Zhao dynasty respected the left and always followed the ritual system of the three provinces and six ministries.

There are two vice ministers under the Ministry of Rites, namely the Left Vice Minister and the Right Vice Minister. Lin Huaian is the Left Vice Minister, one level higher than the Right Vice Minister. With the support of the Qi family, the successor to the Vice Minister of Rites is almost a foregone conclusion.

Unfortunately, after these few days, He Qingchen messed things up.

Lin Huaian’s dream of becoming a minister is gone.

Because the Qi family was not a direct participant but interfered a little afterwards, Emperor Zhaoyuan ordered Qi Heng to stay indoors for three months to reflect on his actions and he did not need to attend court to govern for the time being.

As for another direct participant in this matter.

That is Mrs. Lin Qi.

Emperor Zhaoyuan was not polite to her. He directly stripped her of the imperial edict of the third-rank lady that she had finally obtained with the help of Concubine Hui.

He Qingchen was not surprised when he heard the news.

As for the Lin family, it was almost as if the sky had fallen.

In this imperial city where you can easily meet officials of all ranks on the streets, a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites is nothing.

Lin Huaian even lost the most basic qualification to attend court.

In addition, Qi Heng was under house arrest and without anyone to operate behind him, it was unknown how long Lin Huaian would have to wait before he could make a comeback.

Lin Huaian didn't know that he had lost more than just the qualification to run for the Minister of Rites.

There was more that he didn't know.

Being demoted to Yuanwailang is just the beginning. In the future, when the ambitious Lin Huaian sees himself getting further and further away from his dream position, I wonder how he will feel?

Will he regret not predicting this happening earlier and taking Lin Qingran into custody in advance?

If Lin Qingran did not run away from the marriage, there would naturally be no matter of Shen Guidi marrying in her place.

There will be no follow-up.

He Qingchen and Shen Guidi had no intention of exploring what would happen after Lin Huaian was demoted to Yuanwailang and Madam Lin was stripped of her imperial edict.

At this moment, Shen Guidi and He Qingchen had just finished dinner.

The two of them were digesting their food in the yard.
