Chapter 535: Retraction of Request
"Nuannuan, you don't have to say anything." Jiang Lin took the initiative to interrupt Qin Xiangnuan.
When it comes to Qin Xiangnuan's affairs, Jiang Lin is always worried about gains and losses. As the ancients said, 'even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman'. Jiang Lin really fell into Qin Xiangnuan's hands.
"No, Jiang Lin." Qin Xiangnuan understood the reason for her resistance at this moment. She wanted to express her feelings clearly in front of Jiang Lin. "Let me finish."
Jiang Lin paused, then nodded to her.
Qin Xiangnuan smiled, with a hint of open-mindedness in her smile that she had not had before.
"I wasn't careful enough when I gave you the ring before." Qin Xiangnuan said, feeling a little apologetic.
In this relationship with Jiang Lin, anyone who sees it will say that Jiang Lin loves more deeply, and the fact is indeed so.
Because of Qin Xiangnuan, it seems that she doesn't understand what "love" is.
If it comes to liking someone, Qin Xiangnuan definitely does, and it is limited to Jiang Lin, but going deeper, Qin Xiangnuan is not sure.
"Nuannuan, I understand that the ring you gave me was a guarantee. It really made me feel at ease. At that time, I thought we were secretly engaged." Jiang Lin had a smile on his face.
Qin Xiangnuan was infected by his smile, but also felt guilty. She lowered her head when he looked at her, but quickly raised it again and looked directly into Jiang Lin's eyes.
"Jiang Lin, please give me a little more time. We have too many things to do now. I don't care about a status. I just want us to live our lives in peace when we are together. It's good to keep it simple." Qin Xiangnuan said.
Qin Xiangnuan had said so much, how could Jiang Lin not nod?
"Jiang Lin, I'm also very lucky to have met you." Qin Xiangnuan said, "Although we won't get married yet, my marriage partner must be you."
Jiang Lin smiled, his eyes full of tolerance for Qin Xiangnuan.
In fact, if ordinary people heard Qin Xiangnuan's words, they would definitely think that Qin Xiangnuan was a "heartless man", but Jiang Lin didn't think so.
Jiang Lin felt that Qin Xiangnuan was carrying too much on her shoulders. As a woman, no matter when she was born, she had too many extraordinary abilities.
Anyone who wants to become like this needs to go through too many hardships. Therefore, Jiang Lin wants Qin Xiangnuan to have an easy life in the second half of her life. If possible, she won't even need these skills that ordinary people don't have.
"Nuannuan, I'll be waiting for you," Jiang Lin said. "You wait for me too. Once things are settled here, we'll find a safe place and live the lives of ordinary people."
"Okay." Qin Xiangnuan agreed with Jiang Lin.
The matter of marriage was lightly passed between the two of them, but it was still a major event in the court.
The emperor showed some signs of softening his stance today, but it was not entirely voluntary.
After Jiang Lin returned to Beijing, the Ninth Prince no longer concealed his actions, and he acted like a madman these past few days, weakening the emperor's actual power too much.
The emperor had no choice but to meet Jiang Lin's request and allow Jiang Lin to lend a hand to solve the dilemma in the court.
The next day, the first thing the emperor did after attending court was to bring up Jiang Lin's marriage.
"Your Majesty, I have thought about it these days and I have been negligent. I will no longer force you to get married. Please forgive my rude request a few days ago." Jiang Lin said with his head down.
This move caught the emperor off guard. He was planning to give in today, but before that, of course he would put forward some conditions and demands to Jiang Lin.
But now that Jiang Lin doesn't want this reward, doesn't it mean that the emperor has one less bargaining chip in his hand?
Therefore, the emperor was a little anxious, "I have thought about it these days, and getting married is not impossible..."
As soon as the emperor said this, some noise arose in the court.
"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
The emperor's words were interrupted. Annoyed by Jiang Lin's words, he slammed the table and pointed at the people below, cursing, "Do you still know that I am the emperor? Are you all planning a rebellion?"
"Your Majesty, please understand. I am only thinking about the good of the world."
"Your Majesty, Qin Guang is a traitor. If he..."
"Shut up!" the emperor roared. "Everyone, shut up!"
Unfortunately, the emperor's words did not silence the civil and military officials. The volume of their voices only decreased for a while, and then gradually increased again.
"Father." Amidst the noisy voices, a steady voice emerged.
After this sound appeared, a magical thing happened. All the civil and military officials in the court fell silent at the same time.
The emperor's expression became unbearable, and Jiang Lin's lowered eyes also flashed.
"What does Ninth Prince want to say?" The emperor sat back a little, holding the armrests tightly with both hands, staring straight at the Ninth Prince.
"Your son wants to ask Prince Jiang, where has he placed the dignity of our father?" The Ninth Prince said, turning towards Jiang Lin.
"The emperor's majesty has always naturally surpassed the heavens. I wonder what the Ninth Prince means by asking this?" Jiang Lin also slowly straightened up and met the Ninth Prince's gaze.
The two of them refused to give in.
"If the Emperor's majesty still exists, why would Prince Jiang dare to tease him?" the Ninth Prince said. "If you want the Emperor to grant the marriage, then grant it. If you don't want it, then ask the Emperor to revoke it. Prince Jiang, please tell us why."
"The Ninth Prince is really good at turning the tables." Jiang Lin laughed.
The Ninth Prince also smiled. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the situation in the court. Jiang Lin didn't know what the Ninth Prince was playing at him.
The secret guards following the Ninth Prince said that the Ninth Prince had never sent anyone to investigate the eunuch, and the father and son still maintained their original relationship.
Moreover, here in the palace, the Ninth Prince did not seem to take any further action. It was as if he was just doing whatever he wanted, enjoying the pleasure that they were unaware of.
"How come Prince Jiang has learned to avoid the subject? Why don't you first answer me why I want to tease my father?" The Ninth Prince stared at Jiang Lin, with a chilling arc at the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Lin looked away and bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I am not teasing you. I have just said that I don't want to embarrass you. This is my reason." Jiang Lin said.
"Okay, I believe what Prince Jiang says." The emperor said almost anxiously, not giving the ninth prince a chance to speak.
"Prince Jiang's action is to put the personal feelings of his children below the interests of the country. My dear ministers have not realized this." The emperor was talking nonsense with his eyes open.
In short, we must not let the Ninth Prince take advantage of Jiang Lin.
The emperor can now only suppress the ninth prince in the court. The emperor has his own guesses about the ninth prince's behavior.
After all, he has never seen the big world, and the emperor now thinks that the Ninth Prince has caused enough trouble.
