Chapter 95 Ruyi

Han Baocheng was stunned when he heard it. It took him a while to react, and he stammered anxiously: "Forget it, forget it? Mother, what does this mean?"

"What I mean is that there is no need to meet at Tianyuan Temple. I will find you a noble lady with outstanding appearance and character when I return home."

Han Baocheng was puzzled: "Why is this happening? Didn't we agree on this?"

Mother Han had a complicated expression on her face. "Today's chrysanthemum viewing banquet in the palace is actually for the purpose of choosing a princess for the King of Wei, and Miss Lin has been chosen."

"What?" Han Baocheng was stunned.

Mother Han sighed: "So just pretend that the marriage proposal with the General's Mansion never happened."

"Wait!" Han Baocheng was confused. "The final candidate for the princess hasn't been decided yet, right? Mother, you can't give up just because Miss Lin is among the candidates. The fact that Miss Lin has been chosen by the King of Wei proves her excellence, doesn't it?"

Mother Han looked at her son with a complicated expression: "Without any candidates, the King of Wei only chose Miss Lin."

Han Baocheng was completely stunned.

Mother Han patted Han Baocheng's arm and said earnestly, "Baocheng, you and Miss Lin are not destined to be together, so forget about the marriage proposal."

Han Baocheng left the main courtyard with a confused look on his face.

A bird was flying high in the blue sky, but it was impossible to tell what kind of bird it was because it was flying so high.

He was also worried that he couldn't get wild geese at this time of year. He felt a little regretful about having to use wild geese instead when he went to the general's mansion to propose marriage. He even started thinking about asking someone to buy some in the south.

Is there nothing to do now?

Han Baocheng looked up at the empty sky, and his heart seemed empty as well.

Seeing him like this, the servant felt a little sorry and advised: "Young Master, please don't be sad. Marriage is a matter of life and death, and the royal family is no exception. Maybe the emperor has another favorite candidate."

Han Baocheng's eyes lit up, and he patted the servant's shoulder: "Go and find out quickly, and report back if you find anything."

In Prince Jing's mansion, the young princess Qi Qiong looked gloomy and as if she had suffered a shock.

"Qiong'er, why do you look like you've lost your soul after coming back from the palace?" Princess Jing asked worriedly.

Princess Jing did not attend the chrysanthemum viewing banquet held in the palace.

Looking at her mother's concerned face, Qi Qiong burst into tears: "Mother, Sister Chan is going to be the Princess of Wei."

Princess Jing was shocked: "Really?"

After hearing Qi Qiong's story, Princess Jing was a little surprised: "I never thought that the General's Mansion and the Emperor's children would become in-laws."

She glanced at her tearful daughter and became even more puzzled: "Then why are you crying?"

Qi Qiong choked and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "I feel bad for Sister Chan."

Princess Jing's face looked a little strange, and she squeezed out a sentence: "You girl, you really only support the right and not your relatives."

Is there anyone who dislikes his cousin so much?

"Mother, that's not how you say it."

Princess Jing waved her hand indifferently, "That's what I mean. Although Miss Lin becoming the Princess of Wei is unexpected, it's not that bad. Don't feel bad for her."

Qi Qiong frowned, still unable to relax.

Princess Jing was puzzled: "Qiong'er, when did you become so close to the Lin sisters?"

Qi Qiong curled his lips: "Maybe there is a comparison."

Think about Tang Wei, then think about my cousin, the Lin sisters are really good in every way.

"What comparison?" Princess Jing didn't understand what her daughter said.

"Nothing. Mother, I'm going back to my room." Qi Qiong left the main courtyard and went straight to Qi Shuo's residence. On the way, he met the servant Chang Ning.

"Princess, the prince is looking for you."

"I'm looking for something, big brother." Qi Qiong nodded slightly and quickened his pace.

Arriving at Qi Shuo's residence, he saw his brother standing in the courtyard. Qi Qiong walked over quickly and said, "Brother, today's chrysanthemum viewing banquet—"

Qi Shuo interrupted her calmly: "I heard about it."

"Brother, did you find out?" Qi Qiong sighed heavily. "This is truly unexpected. Miss Lin was not among those chosen by the two ladies. I always thought Sister Chan and Ah Hao were safe."

She tugged at Qi Shuo's sleeve and said, "Brother, what if Ah Hao is chosen?"

Qi Shuo's eyes darkened and he asked, "What was Miss Lin's reaction?"

Qi Qiong was deeply impressed by the scene at that time: "Mrs. Lin seemed to want to refuse on the spot, but was stopped by Sister Chan."

"Where's Miss Lin Er?"

Qi Qiong looked at his brother deeply.

I'm afraid that the only thing that Big Brother cares about is Ah Hao's opinion.

"Ah Hao has no expression, and you can't tell what he's thinking."

Qi Shuo was silent for a moment, then asked Qi Qiong, "Please invite Miss Lin Er to come to the palace and have a chat. I want to talk to her."

Qi Qiong agreed immediately.

Lin Hao received a letter from the little princess inviting her to play, and after a moment's thought, she went to the appointment.

The young princess invited her over at this time, which must be related to her sister being chosen by the King of Wei.

Unexpectedly, the person waiting for her was Qi Shuo.

Qi Shuo said calmly, "I have something to say to Miss Lin Er, so I asked my sister to invite you here. Please don't blame me for being abrupt."

Lin Hao's mouth twitched slightly.

Seeing Prince Jing being so polite and courteous, she felt uncomfortable.

You are so good at pretending.

Qi Qiong was very tactful: "Brother, Ah Hao, you guys chat, I'll go to the small kitchen to see if the snacks are ready."

As soon as Qi Qiong left, Qi Shuo put away his smile and said, "I heard about your sister's situation. Do you need any help?"

"Help?" Lin Hao was a little surprised, but also curious. "How does the prince plan to help?"

"If your sister is unwilling, I can think of a way to make the King of Wei change his mind."

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Lin Chan was not the royal family's preferred candidate. As long as the King of Wei changed his mind, the marriage would naturally fail.

Lin Hao became more and more curious, her eyelashes fluttering slightly: "How can I make the King of Wei change his mind?"

Qi Shuo smiled: "Tell me what you think first."

Lin Hao weighed the pros and cons and then spoke frankly, "Grandmother and Mother feel that my eldest sister has been wronged, but she says she has no ill feelings towards the King of Wei and doesn't want the family to go through all the trouble of getting rid of this marriage."

"What about you?"

"I?"

"Well, what do you think?" Qi Shuo asked seriously.

All he cares about is the mood of the person in front of him.

There seemed to be a light in the boy's eyes, which made Lin Hao look away unconsciously.

"This is my eldest sister's marriage, so I naturally prioritize her opinion."

"Then ask your sister what she thinks. Under the premise of not causing trouble for the General's Mansion, what choice will she make?"

Lin Hao's eyes widened slightly: "Do you really have a solution?"

Qi Shuo smiled: "Would I lie to you?"

Lin Hao raised the corners of his lips.

He must have lied to her many times, making her feel weak and fragile, so she turned around and killed Fang Chengji.

"Thank you, my lord. I'll ask my elder sister."

Lin Hao returned to the general's mansion and went straight to Jiaoyueju.

Lin Chan was silent for a long time after hearing this. She took Lin Hao's hand and said earnestly, "Second sister, don't worry about me. I really think marrying the King of Wei is a good idea."

After becoming the Princess of Wei, it would not be so easy for the Crown Prince to take advantage of his sister.

My grandmother is old and my mother has met the wrong person, so it is time for her to protect the family from the wind and rain.

Seeing that Lin Chan was not insincere, Lin Hao sent someone to pass the message to Qi Shuo.

The next day, the general's mansion received the jade ruyi bestowed by the emperor, and countless people who were watching this matter knew about it at the first time.
