The Noble Empress

The year Yan Xingchuan successfully rebelled, he made his cousin empress, and even promised never to establish another empress in this life before her death.

Cui Si was his principal wife, wh...

Chapter 370: Since Madam Lin is interested, why not help her?

Chapter 370 Since Madam Lin is interested, why not help her?

It can be said that Madam Chang is very accurate in her judgment of things. In her previous life, Chen Sui always claimed to use benevolence and righteousness to deal with Chang Ru.

Chang Ru had a dispute with his concubine. He unconditionally sided with the concubine and kept saying that the concubine had saved him. He asked Chang Ru not to be so petty and only care about the love affairs of children. He also said that marrying her and letting the concubine be his concubine was already an injustice to the concubine.

He is a person who has always only cared about his own karma and completely disregarded the life and death of others.

Chang Ru was stunned after hearing this, and suddenly she remembered something.

Previously, Lin Qingning asked her to embroider a painting called "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". Later, the news somehow reached the ears of the master. The master sent someone to write a letter to scold Lin Qingning, and also gave a letter to the Chang family, telling her not to pay attention to the matter.

Later, probably because Lin Qingning wrote a letter to Shen Sui crying, Shen Sui also wrote a letter back to scold her, saying that she had no tolerance.

She also said that Lin Qingning had lived such a hard life in the past, so she couldn't be more tolerant. She shouldn't bother with Lin Qingning. It's just a painting of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Just embroider it.

Just embroider it, and he doesn't need to embroider it. He said it lightly. It was a painting that would take several years to complete and would make her eyes almost blind. But when it came to him, it was just "Just embroider it".

Even if Shen Sui had not wanted to marry the Princess of Nanhuai, she would still be considering whether this marriage could continue.

She didn't know what the point of coming here was with a husband who favored another woman without hesitation, a husband who didn't care about her efforts at all and even took them for granted.

"Mother, what do you think of Cui Jingzhi?" she suddenly asked.

Mrs. Chang was stunned: "Who?"

"Cui Jingzhi, our princess's elder brother." Chang Ru frowned, then relaxed her brows. "I heard that he personally went to Nanhuai and renegotiated with the King of Nanhuai."

"He's done this much for Wang Ji, so he must be a loving sister. And then he retaliated and turned the tables on Shen Sui, showing that he's also a vindictive and clever person."

Mrs. Chang hesitated a little: "But I heard that he has many ideas, like a lotus root, and those clans have many rules and many things to do..."

The candidate is a good one. I heard that he had a fiancée before, but later because the girl was ill, the two families broke off the engagement and each of them looked for a good match. However, these clans are deep-rooted and it is not easy for an ordinary woman to survive.

......

While the mother and daughter were discussing their comings and goings, Lin Qingning also took a carriage back to the Northern Yan Palace.

As soon as she entered the door, she asked the guard beside her: "I heard that my cousin is back. Where is he?"

The guard saluted and said, "Madam Lin, the Lord is in the Loyalty Hall discussing matters with the generals. If you wish to see the Lord, you must wait. No one is allowed to approach."

Lin Qingning twisted her handkerchief and hesitated for a while, then thought for a moment and said, "I'm my cousin's only relative in this world, so I shouldn't be considered an outsider..."

The guard scratched his head and said, "I don't know about that."

How could he know all this? After all, there had been no other master in the Northern Yan Palace before. Who knew how important this person was in the master's heart and whether he would make an exception for her.

Lin Qingning bit her lip and thought for a while, then finally made up her mind and took Huayue to Zhongyi Hall.

Unfortunately, they were stopped by Yanyun Guards just as they reached the gate.

"I want to see my cousin." Lin Qingning bit her lip, her eyes, which seemed to always be filled with autumn water, were a little annoyed.

Yan Yunwei simply said calmly and indifferently: "Madam Lin, please go back. The master and the others are still discussing matters. We will inform the master after the meeting is over later."

"Even I can't do it?"

"No one."

"Even Cui Liuniang can't do it?"

“…”

The two people outside the door were arguing with each other. In the bright hall of Zhongyi Hall, Yan Xingchuan also talked about Lin Qingning with everyone.

"This marriage is inappropriate. My brother is already a bygone age. How can he delay my cousin's life? Since they are separated by life and death, it is best for them to go their separate ways."

"But my lord, this marriage was arranged by the Marquis and his wife, and the prince is very fond of Madam Lin. Now that Madam Lin is interested, why not make it happen?"

"Fulfill? Fulfill who?" Yan Xingchuan glanced at them, his eyes a little cold. "Do you think the fulfillment you're talking about is the result they want?"

"My father, mother, and eldest brother are all extremely kind and considerate people. How could they ruin a woman's life for their own selfish interests? If they were still alive, they would definitely not agree with such words."

Someone retorted, "Even if what the Lord said is reasonable, this is also Madam Lin's wish. Since it is Madam Lin's last wish, and it can also fulfill the wishes of the Marquis' wife and the Crown Prince, why not do it?"

"She's confused, and you're confused too?" Yan Xingchuan sneered. "She's just a young lady, how can she possibly think of anything? She might feel good now, but who knows, she might feel miserable in a few years."

How can you have a good life if you marry a dead person and spend your whole life with someone who is no longer there?

"If she doesn't live well by then, won't that make everyone miserable? I'll ask her again about her wishes. If she changes her mind, then we can just pretend this matter doesn't exist."

"As for my father, mother, and brother's wish, it must be for us to live peacefully. Okay, that's it for now. You can all go yourselves."

Yan Xingchuan dismissed everyone and heard Yun Gang tell him that Lin Qingning had arrived.

"Let her in." Yan Xingchuan stretched out his hand and frowned, picked up the tea beside him and took a sip, calmed down his emotions, and considered how to talk to Lin Qingning later.

Lin Qingning was quickly invited in. She was quite happy to see Yan Xingchuan: "I thought my cousin would never come back, but I never thought that he would really come back."

"My cousin has already had his meal. I've sent someone to prepare it."

She was wearing a cross-collared dress embroidered with gold peonies, a large-sleeved scarf, and a long skirt that dragged on the ground. She had a crooked bun on her head, and her hair was decorated with pearls, jade, and turquoise. The earrings on her ears were golden peonies. She looked rich and noble, and unattainable.

"No need to bother, I just used some." Yan Xingchuan looked at her, then looked away and asked her directly, "Why do you want to marry my brother?"

What on earth are you thinking?

Yan Xingchuan would definitely not believe how infatuated she was. Not to mention that she wanted to marry him and become the queen in her previous life, and no matter which life it was, when the Lin family was in trouble, she was only nine years old, and it was impossible for her to have such a deep love between a man and a woman.

Lin Qingning paused when she heard this, bit her lip, lowered her head, twisted the handkerchief with her fingers, and looked a little pitiful.

"Cousin, I just, I just want to become a true member of the Yan family..."
