Chapter 530: Request for Marriage
In the end, Qin Xiangnuan still only took a package to conceal her identity, and all the things placed in the operating room became Anfeng's luggage.
A group of people would not move in a high-profile manner during the day. After nightfall, on the almost deserted streets, a group of people rushed non-stop to the Xiaoyao Palace.
In the Xiaoyao Palace, because there has been no owner living there for many years, all the servants have been dismissed by Jiang Lin. Now that Qin Xiangnuan and the others have arrived, they can only move in on their own.
"Miss Third, the master has already instructed you to come here." Anliu came to Qin Xiangnuan's side as she looked around.
Qin Xiangnuan couldn't see the layout of the entire mansion clearly in the dark. She just followed the undercurrent and circled around countless times before finally stopping in front of a room.
"Miss San can go straight to rest after you go in. The master has already had the room cleaned." Anliu said, "If you need anything, remember to call me."
"Got it. You can take care of other things first. Let's all rest tonight and come back to sort it out tomorrow." Qin Xiangnuan said.
Anliu nodded, then left Qin Xiangnuan alone and lit the lamp. After discovering the furnishings in the room, Qin Xiangnuan's eyes showed a look of surprise.
Jiang Lin was with her almost the entire day, and Qin Xiangnuan had no idea when this man had given instructions to others. This room looked very familiar, almost identical to the room in her home on the border.
Many things are not easy to find, and Jiang Lin put a lot of effort into it, and he didn't know when he started preparing.
After a sleepless night, everyone got up early the next day. The entire Xiaoyao Palace was filled with people, and even the withered grass in the yard seemed to be struggling to wake up.
"Miss Third, don't come here. It's too chaotic. You might as well go out for a walk. The master will definitely be back in the afternoon." Anliu said after seeing the person.
Qin Xiangnuan raised her eyebrows. Although she was not famous, she appeared on the street so openly. There was no guarantee that someone would recognize her as the daughter of a general's mansion.
Therefore, Qin Xiangnuan is not suitable to show up.
Before you could calm down and say no, An Feng spoke to Qin Xiangnuan from the other side.
"Miss Third, where would you think it would be more appropriate to put those things we brought back yesterday?" An Feng now accepted the treatment openly without any resistance in his heart, and was even more positive.
Qin Xiangnuan was very happy to see An Feng like this, and then she went with him to find an empty room for those things.
An Feng looked outside the house and frowned.
"But what's wrong?" Qin Xiangnuan asked.
An Feng turned his head and looked to the left. There was a small door there, which was locked at the moment. Qin Xiangnuan didn't know where it led to.
"Miss Third, that's the courtyard of the master's parents. It might be too late here..." An Feng was one of the few people who knew that Jiang Lin and his parents were not as close as others seemed.
Therefore, An Feng did not want to disturb them too much.
Qin Xiangnuan raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, "If that's the case, then we can find another place. It's just a matter of moving the things from the other room over here."
After saying that, Qin Xiangnuan took Anfeng away. After taking a few steps, she looked back at this place and understood why there was an empty room here.
Qin Xiangnuan didn't hesitate at all. She had already tied Jiang Lin and herself together in her heart. Without discussing it with Jiang Lin, she became another master in his house and arranged the secret guards clearly.
They stopped working at noon. No one mentioned Jiang Lin during that time, but everyone was worried about Jiang Lin's return.
They thought it was time for Jiang Lin to come back, so they all waited quietly at home.
Little did they know that Jiang Lin had run into trouble in the court, and it might not be so easy for him to escape.
At this moment, Jiang Lin was in confrontation with almost all the civil and military officials in the court. The reason was simple: after Jiang Lin received rewards for the people living on the border, he took the initiative to ask the emperor for a marriage.
The emperor was unhappy even when he didn't know who his target was. After hearing that it was General Qin Guangqin's daughter, he was furious.
It’s a pity that it can’t scare anyone.
"Jiang Lin, do you know that he is a criminal!" The emperor's veins popped out, and he felt even more annoyed listening to the chattering of civil and military officials in the court.
"Your Majesty, you believe that General Qin committed a crime, but Nuannuan did nothing wrong. She was simply exiled to the border because she became General Qin's daughter."
Jiang Lin spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, his voice so resounding that the noisy sounds around him gradually stopped.
It’s not that they were frightened by Jiang Lin’s words, but they were impressed by his momentum.
Although they all knew the emperor's current situation, he was in that position after all, and the Ninth Prince had not completely stripped him of his power. The throne still had some power.
The emperor glared at Jiang Lin. He had originally intended for Jiang Lin to help him after returning to Beijing, but he never expected that he would cause trouble for him on the first day after returning.
"You!" The emperor pointed in Jiang Lin's direction, then angrily withdrew his finger. "I will not agree to this marriage, but you are now of marriageable age and have made contributions to foreign affairs."
The emperor regained his lordly demeanor and said to Jiang Lin as if offering alms, "I will choose a daughter from a good family for you. She will definitely be no worse than Qin Guang's daughter!"
"I won't marry anyone other than Nuannuan." Jiang Lin insisted that this matter must be resolved today.
The Ninth Prince was watching the show from the side. He thought that Jiang Lin would be united with the Emperor after his return. Now it seems that he was wrong.
The emperor would not agree to this, otherwise he would be losing his dignity in front of all the civil and military officials. But he cannot be too harsh on Jiang Lin now, otherwise who will fight against the Ninth Prince for him?
At this moment, the emperor could only choose to delay the war. "I will not agree to this matter, Jiang Lin, go back and think about it carefully. If you change your mind, I will satisfy you at any time."
"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. Please grant my wish." Jiang Lin stood in the middle of the huge hall with his head lowered, his voice reaching the ears of everyone present.
Jiang Lin did not ask the emperor to grant the marriage on a whim. He did not care how the court would change in the future; he just wanted everyone to know.
Jiang Lin must be with Qin Xiangnuan, and he doesn't want to endure it any longer. He also doesn't want Qin Xiangnuan to be like a thief every day, doing many things secretly.
Jiang Lin had not failed to anticipate the emperor's opposition, but so what? He just wanted to make his position clear.
Moreover, Jiang Lin believed that the emperor would eventually nod his approval and would not make him wait too long.
The emperor looked at Jiang Lin's resolute and determined expression, and felt his chest growing heavier. Finally, he dismissed the court in silence.
