As soon as Pingyang Boss opened his mouth, he asked for a marriage for Lin Yushu in advance, which made everyone even more jealous.
The Second Madam and Lin Qingrou, who had been standing behind the crowd, were worried about the marriage...
"Since Pingyang has spoken, there is no reason for me to disagree. Can Princess Shuyi discuss marriage now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the second wife was immediately delighted and was about to step forward to reply.
"Your Majesty, I have not yet discussed marriage."
After hearing Lin Yushu's words, all the people who had surrounded the Second Madam to ask about Lin Yushu's marriage turned to look at the Second Madam in confusion.
"Didn't they say that she was discussing marriage with the Ruchang Marquis's Mansion?"
"I heard that the betrothal gifts have been brought to the door. How could Princess Shuyi not know about it?"
"How is it possible that the bride-to-be is unaware of the six ceremonies?"
"Could it be that Lin Yushu wants to break off the engagement..."
Pingyang *** could vaguely hear the discussion behind him and looked puzzled. There was only one notorious scoundrel in the Ruchang Marquis's mansion.
Could it be that the General's Mansion was actually planning to hide this from Lin Yushu and marry her directly to that bastard?
Pingyang *** suddenly became angry and turned to look at Emperor Ming with a firm gaze.
"That's right, my royal brother. Princess Shuyi has absolutely no intention of getting married!"
"Well, if Princess Shuyi gets married one day, I will grant you a marriage."
With just one sentence, he stopped the people behind him from talking and also left the Second Lady no room for maneuver.
Besides, this marriage might turn into deceiving the emperor...
Even if she said afterwards that the marriage had just been decided, it would not work because she was already the princess of the county and the Second Lady could never arrange a marriage for her without permission.
Lin Qingrou's face turned pale. Because of the Empress Dowager's emergency illness today, not only did she not get to speak in front of the princes, she also had to watch Lin Yushu being conferred the title of County Princess!
Now, even the marriage they had arranged was avoided by Lin Yushu!
Lin Qingrou bit her lips tightly, fearing that her anger and unwillingness would burst through her throat and she would scream out loudly on the spot.
Lin Yushu smiled and thanked him again. She glanced at the frustrated expressions of the Second Madam and Lin Qingrou and felt extremely relieved.
From today on, her marriage can no longer be easily controlled by the Second Madam and the Old Madam!
The noisy day finally came to an end, and everyone left the palace and took their carriages back to their homes.
Late at night, in the silent Taoist hall, Emperor Ming sat in front of a square low table, looking more cautious than anyone had ever seen.
"National Master, you predicted a few days ago that the Queen Mother would face great adversity. If she could overcome it, she would be free from illness and disaster for the next twenty years. If she couldn't overcome it..."
Taoist Lingxu stroked his beard and continued Emperor Ming's words, "If you can't make it, the Queen Mother will pass away within five years."
Emperor Ming nodded with lingering fear, "Then, Imperial Master, look at the current situation. Has the Queen Mother made it through?"
Taoist Lingxu nodded with a smile, "Not only did we get over it, but we also met someone who can help the fortune of our Great Zhou."
Emperor Ming was a little skeptical, "Is the Imperial Master talking about Lin Yushu?"
"I don't know her name, but she has a unique destiny. The two attributes of water and wind are extremely strong, which can help Panlong rise up on the wind and clouds."
"Then...I want to take her as my concubine?"
Taoist Lingxu shook his head in a mysterious tone, "Your Majesty is already at the top of the sky, why do you need to climb higher?"
Emperor Ming smiled knowingly, "So that's how it is. If she marries a prince, she can help that prince inherit the throne."
"Your Majesty is wise. Not only that, as long as this woman is in the Great Zhou, she will always help the Great Zhou to have good weather and stable royal family."
Emperor Ming narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not care much about good weather and good harvests, but what the emperor wanted was a stable royal family and eternal imperial power.
"In that case, I will take better care of her."
Emperor Ming was in a very good mood. Not only was the Empress Dowager safe and sound today, but he also met someone who could ensure the stability of his royal family.
After seeing off Emperor Ming, Taoist Lingxu came to the Taoist hall.
On the table next to the incense table in the house, a tortoise shell lay quietly.
There was a word "collapse" on it.
Taoist Lingxu picked up the tortoise shell and threw it into the incense burner under the incense table.
"Stable? Ha!"
Taoist Lingxu's face was no longer full of seriousness and secrecy, and a mocking smile hung on his lips.
-
The news that Lin Yushu was conferred the title of Princess Shuyi and that Hu Ruzhen was punished in the palace and deprived of her title of Princess spread throughout the capital at the same time.
The next day, Mrs. Han from the Ruchang Marquis's Mansion came to the General's Mansion in a threatening manner.
Cuizhu took the sweet cheese that Lin Yushu gave her as a reward and drank it slowly, describing the scene vividly as she drank.
"I heard that the sound of cups and plates being smashed in Ci'an Courtyard never stopped. Madam Han from the Marquis of Ruchang Mansion thinks she is powerful and actually dares to make a scene in the General's Mansion..."
"Of course I dare not. The daughter-in-law I have been waiting for for many years is gone. How can I not be angry?"
Lin Yushu said lightly.
"Miss, what you said is that Madam Han made a fuss in Ci'an Courtyard for half a day. I don't know what kind of deal she reached with the old lady, but in the end, she left in peace."
Cuizhu held the bowl, her little face full of surprise and confusion.
"What kind of deal could it be? Without me as their daughter-in-law, they can just get a new one."
"Ah? This can be exchanged?"
Cuizhu widened her eyes, very puzzled.
"Why can't we change it? From the beginning to now, no one knows that this marriage is arranged for me except them..."
Chun Tao was thinking, "Who will be replaced then?"
Looking through the open window in front of her, Lin Yushu looked towards the direction of Changxin Courtyard in the East Courtyard.
It seems that Lin Fang's fate in this life overlaps with that in the previous life and cannot be changed.
In Changxinyuan.
The second wife sat calmly in the red sandalwood armchair, looking impatiently at Lin Fang who was kneeling on the ground.
"Han Xu is the legitimate son of a noble family. It is a blessing for a concubine like you to marry him. It is also a grace given to you by me and the old lady. Don't be ungrateful."
Lin Fang was like a stone sculpture, kneeling on the ground motionless, with his head down and not saying a word.
What an ignorant thing!
"The eldest son of the Marquis of Ruchang is away fighting all year round, and Han Xu has been guarding the mansion. If you marry him, you can become the mistress of the house."
"You should know the importance of the mistress of this mansion, even if I don't tell you."
Lin Fang remained silent and motionless.
Whether Lin Fang could become the mistress of the house was all the Second Madam's lies to coax Lin Fang. The Second Madam didn't believe that the Ruchang Marquis's Mansion would let a little concubine be the mistress of the house.
The second wife was upset. The marriage she had originally arranged for Lin Yushu had now completely fallen through, and she almost offended Ruchang.
Madam Han from the Marquis of Ruchang's Mansion is no pushover. Right after the incident at the palace banquet last night, she broke into Ci'an Courtyard early this morning and wanted to seek an explanation from the General's Mansion.
He acted so arrogantly and made the old lady so angry that she almost fainted.
If it weren't for the Second Madam's sudden inspiration and idea of letting Lin Fang marry in place of her, the feud between the Ruchang Marquis' Mansion and the General's Mansion would have been completely settled.
There must be no further changes to this marriage!
Lin Fang is just a concubine's daughter of the second wife. Her life and property are in the hands of the second wife. Whether she wants to marry or not, she has to marry!
