The eldest princess opened her mouth and said, "I think Shen Qingran, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, is a woman of great virtue and kindness, and is worthy of being the Crown Princess."
Hearing this, Lin Xi's face changed instantly. She knew that this time Shen Qingran was specifically mentioned.
Although she had known that the prince had feelings for Qingran, she had never thought that one day the prince would be able to convince the eldest princess to help him with this matter. Now Qingran had no choice but to marry the prince.
When His Majesty heard what the eldest princess said, his expression changed, but he did not show it in front of others.
Everyone was secretly observing His Majesty's expression, trying to figure out something from his every move.
Shen Qingran and the Crown Prince, who were supposed to be the protagonists, did not act like protagonists. They knelt behind the Princess. The Crown Prince took the initiative to break the deadlock, "Father, Miss Shen has a kind heart. Naturally, I am not worthy of her. But now that my aunt is talking about this in public, it will embarrass Miss Shen."
After hearing this, His Majesty came down the steps given by the Crown Prince. He looked at the Crown Prince with deep eyes. He smiled but did not speak. Instead, he said to the Princess: "Sister, why didn't you discuss this matter with me first?"
The princess also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I just saw them as a perfect match. I didn't discuss this with Your Majesty. It's my fault."
The eldest princess said so, and the group of ministers who had just agreed with her also followed suit and said that it was all their fault.
Lin Xi looked at Chen Xun with some confusion. Could it be that he knew from the beginning that this would not succeed?
Although she had doubts, there were some things she couldn't ask. Under the current circumstances, she could only wait until later.
A ray of setting sun shone on Lin Xi's body, and she smiled. Her lips were red and her teeth were white, and the sunlight shining on her face made her look more beautiful than anyone else.
Lin Xi looked at him blankly. She didn't expect that Chen Xun's gaze had never left her. Princess Wang Ling, who had been observing Chen Xun, also noticed Chen Xun's gaze.
Of course, she had never thought that someone as cold as an ice cube would actually have feelings for someone else. She was not convinced in her heart, but she didn't expect Ruan Liuying to come to her while everyone was toasting.
"Princess, do Lin Xi and the others look hateful?" Ruan Liuying said to her with a smile.
Princess Wang Ling looked at the person in front of her who looked very similar to Concubine Ruan, and she felt disgusted. She didn't want to have anything to do with her. She looked at the wine glass she handed over, pushed it away, and said, "There are some things I don't want to say, but don't think I know nothing. Under the current circumstances, everyone knows what you are thinking."
"If the Crown Princess is not Miss Shen, it will not be you." Princess Wang Ling had already seen the little thoughts in her heart on the first day in Kyoto.
The position of Crown Princess means that she may become the most honorable person in the future, but she disdains and does not care.
Therefore, Wang Ling understood why they were eager to pursue this position, but he did not want to join them.
The bonfire was lit, and everyone was wearing Chinese costumes. The young people began to dance around the bonfire. When no one noticed, the sparks were blown into the haystack by the wind.
Lin Xi was originally far away from the haystack, but in the crowd, he had squeezed to the very edge.
"Fire, it's on fire."
With a scream, the scene suddenly became chaotic and no one knew who was pushed.
The eunuchs around His Majesty supported His Majesty, and Lin Xi and the others were pushed over. Amid the pushing and shoving crowd, no one knew when they would be seen again.
Now, everyone is waiting to see what happens next.
"No, be careful! Lin Xi." The crowd was so crowded that Shen Qingran and Lin Xi were separated in the crowd. She watched Lin Xi getting closer and closer to the fire.
"Lin Xi!"
Her voice was inconspicuous in the crowd, and no one noticed that Lin Xi was getting closer and closer to the fire.
Shen Qingran was very worried, but was squeezed so hard that he couldn't move.
When Lin Xi turned around, she realized that the campfire was very close to her. There was a group of people crowded in front of her, so she could only walk to the side. Unexpectedly, a pair of hands stretched out from somewhere and pushed her on the back. She lost her balance and almost fell into the campfire.
Fortunately, Chen Xun appeared beside her at some point and pulled her, but his arm was burned by the suddenly growing flames.
She was anxious, so she grabbed his arm and asked, "How are you?"
"It's okay." Chen Xun's expression was calm, and he didn't even look at his wound. While no one was paying attention, he looked at Lin Xi carefully, and confirmed that she was safe and sound, and only then did he feel truly relieved.
Under the current circumstances, no one can explain how the fire started. We can only wait and see what happens next.
His Majesty suddenly saw that the two of them were having physical contact in front of everyone, and laughed loudly and said, "Sir Chen, today you can be considered a hero saving a beauty in public. I wonder whose girl you saved is."
Hearing this, Lin Xi stepped forward, knelt down and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I am Lin Xi, the daughter of Lin Hewen."
The emperor naturally knew Lin Xi's background, but he never thought it would be her. He was very shocked. However, under the current circumstances, he already had an idea in his mind, so he continued, "It's a coincidence today. The princess just mentioned the prince's marriage again. Why not, let this marriage be between the two of you?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
When Lin Xi heard this, he was surrounded by people before he could react.
Chen Xun pulled her up from the crowd and took her to thank His Majesty.
Lin Xi had never thought that this marriage would happen to her, and she hadn't fully reacted yet. She just thought about it lightly, and then continued, "Do you know that if His Majesty grants the marriage, it can't be easily separated?"
She asked Chen Xun in a low voice.
However, Chen Xun did not look at him, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you regret it?"
Lin Xi didn't regret marrying Chen Xun. In the future, she would use his name to do things, which would be more convenient. But now she was worried about Chen Xun. If he had someone in his heart in the future and wanted to give her the position of wife, it would be difficult for him to do so.
"It's okay. If you really want to marry someone in the future, just tell me." Lin Xi said frankly.
Chen Xun never thought that Lin Xi would say such words. In his heart, he had never thought about separating after marriage. She had already thought about how to end it before it even started. Under such circumstances, no one was thinking about the future.
The news about the autumn hunt was reported back to the Chen Mansion and the Lin Mansion respectively.
In the old house of Chen Mansion.
The people from the first wife surrounded the old lady, all wishing she would reject the marriage.
After all, with Chen Xun's current status and honor, he could obviously marry a better person, especially Chen. If it weren't for her relationship with Lin Xiu from the Lin Mansion, how could she not be able to take back the power of the household from her mother-in-law?
Chen was unwilling to accept this and could only cry in the old lady's ear, "Mother-in-law, you let the person who was supposed to be Chen Chu's wife become my brother-in-law. How can I live my life in the future!"
As she spoke, she started to cry again, and cried so hard that Old Lady Chen opened her eyes. She was not very annoyed and said, "Can I decide this matter? If I can decide, why not let Xun-ge marry someone you like?"
Upon hearing this, Chen quickly put away her mournful expression, stood up quickly, and lowered her head, "Mother-in-law, it's my fault."
From the very beginning, Old Mrs. Chen never thought that her eldest daughter-in-law would be so bold as to frame outsiders at a banquet in the Chen Mansion.
This matter had always annoyed her in her heart, but she had never expressed it. Now she saw that she was in such a disgraceful state.
Old Madam Chen shook her head repeatedly, "You also know that Xun'er is not my biological son. He calls me mother out of respect. If he doesn't, others won't say anything. After all, the Chen family didn't raise him, but now he has to use his name when he goes out. Chen, don't you think I'm right?"
Chen was sweating profusely as she spoke, and she was afraid that her shrewd mother-in-law might know something.
Old Madam Chen did not tolerate her this time and started to rebuke her, saying, "If it weren't for you, how could my son have been like this all the time?"
Chen's face was blank, and she was naturally unconvinced in her heart. She showed an aggrieved expression, and asked secretly in a low voice, "Mother, what do you mean by saying this? If the master is not good, how can you blame me? What's the reason? Moreover, if you blame me, wouldn't you be more willing?"
Old Madam Chen didn't expect Chen to talk back. She didn't want to talk about what happened in the past anymore, so she said to her directly: "If you don't like this brother-in-law, then go and tell His Majesty yourself."
"Since there is no other way, then marry her peacefully. Also," Mrs. Chen paused, her eyes becoming a little sharp, "Warn Chu'er not to spread any rumors with his sister-in-law that shouldn't be spread. Got it?"
Chen was about to nod reluctantly, but Old Lady Chen continued, "Don't be like this. If you don't take it seriously now, you'll just have to wait and see in the future! I'm afraid Chu'er's future will be ruined."
"Yes, daughter-in-law understands." When Chen heard that this matter concerned Chen Chu's fate, she immediately stopped being so nonchalant and took it seriously. In fact, she could also feel some things.
After all, Chen Chu was the meat that came out of her stomach.
How could I not know what he was thinking?
Now is not the time to joke.
Old Mrs. Chen never expected that the child whom she looked down upon the most back then would become the most promising one now and actually become a minister in the court. Even His Majesty favors him. She could only say that she had misjudged him back then.
"Back then, the entire Chen family had offended her. When Lin Xi joins the family, the power to head the family will be handed over to her. This will be considered a kind of comfort to them."
Old Madam Chen had been thinking about this matter for a long time. Some things had to be done, otherwise the hatred within the Chen family would become a dead end.
They also have to retreat.
But how could Old Mrs. Chen not know, and how could her narrow-minded daughter-in-law understand her painstaking efforts?
······
······
In the Lin Mansion.
When Lin Hewen learned that Lin Xi was married to a powerful official of the time by His Majesty, he was so happy that he wanted to raise a toast to celebrate. That person was a powerful official of the time. If he could become Chen Xun's father-in-law, his future career in officialdom would definitely be better than it is now.
Xu, who was sitting aside, had a very ugly expression on her face, but fortunately, in her heart, she was more worried about Lin Yuanyue who had completely disappeared.
She didn't expect that Yue'er could disappear without leaving her any room.
Xu now wants to look for her everywhere, but there is no trace of her. Some things have become very distressing for her.
However, when she had time to sit down slowly, she found that her life was getting worse and worse. Ever since Lin Xi entered the mansion, there were many things that made her feel helpless.
Now, she has flown to the tree, but her daughter has disappeared.
How could Xu be willing to accept this?
Lin Hewen was still happy, so Xu pulled him aside and said, "This matter is naturally a marriage granted by His Majesty, so we should also be prepared. Master, if we don't prepare properly, it will only make Master think that our Lin family is not good enough."
Lin Hewen nodded, held Xu's hand tightly and said, "It's you who can think so carefully. Why don't you handle this matter? Fortunately, His Majesty has not set a wedding date, but only talked about getting married."
Xu also nodded, and then continued: "Why not start preparing now."
Lin Hewen nodded repeatedly, and the two began to discuss the marriage.
Xu felt more and more unbalanced. At that time, he was willing to treat Lin Xi as Yue'er's stepping stone, but now he was completely unwilling to mention it. Could it be that if he didn't mention it, he would think that everyone else had forgotten it?
For the first time, Xu realized the hypocrisy of the man in front of her.
Originally, Lin Xiu had never cared about Lin Xi's marriage, but she didn't expect to hear the sound of a porcelain bottle breaking coming from Mei Yuanxi's room.
She was worried about her son and ran in. Seeing this, she looked very worried. She quickly grabbed the broken porcelain pieces that had scratched his hands and said in horror, "Yuanxi, what are you doing?"
As far as she could remember, her son had never been so distraught.
Mei Yuanxi raised her head in tears and looked at her mother in front of her. "Mom, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, please give Lin Xi to me, give her to me."
He has gone completely crazy.
Lin Xiu was completely stunned, looking at Mei Yuanxi in surprise, and asked with trembling lips: "Mei Yuanxi, do you know what you are saying?"
