Chapter 1207 If you are pleased with me, then breathe... (61 words)
In the main hall of the Prime Minister's residence, Prime Minister Lin and his wife sat in high positions.
Accompanied by the matchmaker, Xuanhe carried a basket of auspicious gifts and sat down to their left.
As was customary, Madam Lin inquired about Xuanhe's situation from the matchmaker, who answered truthfully in every way.
Prime Minister Lin and Xuanhe chatted idly to each other.
The marriage between Xuanhe and Song Jinhuan had been discussed long ago.
Now that he has personally come to propose marriage, Prime Minister Lin knows in his heart that his second daughter must have given her the nod.
After asking her question, Madam Lin stood up, smiled at Xuanhe, and said, "I'm going to the backyard."
Xuanhe nodded slightly and said calmly, "Thank you for your trouble."
Song Jinhuan lived in Fengxi Courtyard. Her maid had already sent word that Xuanhe had come to propose marriage.
Madam Lin came to Fengxi Courtyard to make a formality and asked, "Elder Xuan has come to propose marriage today. Are you willing to agree to this marriage with him?"
Song Jinhuan nodded, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "I'm willing."
Madam Lin smiled and said, "Alright then, I'll give him your birth certificate."
"Thank you for your trouble, Mother."
Song Jinhuan paused for a moment, then said, "The wedding cannot be without my eldest sister and third sister. They will be back in a couple of days."
Mrs. Lin was overjoyed, "Really?"
Song Jinhuan: "Yes, Xuanhe will take care of this matter."
Madam Lin was unwilling for her daughter to enter the palace. There were so many women in the harem, and apart from the Empress, they were all concubines.
With the title of the Prime Minister's daughter, she would be more than qualified to be a legitimate wife outside the palace; even if she were a concubine's daughter, she could still be a proper wife.
She had been somewhat worried, but upon hearing that it had been handled by Xuanhe, she was completely relieved.
At the same time, she felt a little more grateful to Song Jinhuan, thinking that the wedding should be arranged well, and she would take out some more from her own dowry to give to him.
In the main hall, Prime Minister Lin and Xuanhe looked at each other in silence.
The man sat upright, not daring to relax for a moment.
Even though he knew the girl would agree, he still felt uneasy.
Prime Minister Lin: "Elder Xuan, there is no need to worry."
Xuanhe curled his lips and said, "The Prime Minister can simply call me Xuanhe."
Heh heh.
Prime Minister Lin couldn't help but puff out his chest. Who would have thought that his former mortal enemy would bow down and show goodwill?
Lin Qiong is truly remarkable!
"Ahem, Xuanhe..."
Xuanhe cupped his hands in greeting: "Prime Minister Lin."
Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Lin's face immediately lit up with a rosy glow.
Everyone in the entire court knows that Xuanhe doesn't even kneel before the emperor!
It's simply impossible for him to bow to you.
"No need for such formalities."
Xuanhe placed his hands on his knees.
Prime Minister Lin glanced at it, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "Xuanhe..."
Xuanhe bowed again: "Prime Minister Lin."
Prime Minister Lin stroked his beard, couldn't help but chuckle twice, and waved his hand, saying, "No need for formalities."
Xuanhe raised an eyebrow and bowed repeatedly in response, repeating this for a quarter of an hour, until Madam Lin returned with a happy expression, raising her voice and smiling, "Yes, yes."
The matchmaker immediately exchanged Xuanhe's birth chart with him.
Xuanhe felt a slight sense of relief, and said seriously, "Come tomorrow to pay the betrothal gifts and set the date."
Prime Minister Lin and his wife escorted the people to the door, and on the way back to the main hall, Madam Lin mentioned the return of Lin Wenyao and Jin Yaning.
Prime Minister Lin: "It is good that they do not have to go to the palace, but the rumors that the Emperor deliberately spread some time ago may be detrimental to their reputation, and no one will come to propose marriage in the future."
Mrs. Lin: "No need to worry, I have my own way of doing things in this regard."
After she finished speaking, she ordered the maid waiting in the main hall to "send all these things to Fengxi Courtyard".
The gifts that the man brings when proposing marriage are all for the woman.
