Chapter 1209 If you are pleased with me, then breathe 63
When the Emperor saw the two of them, he recalled their conversation some time ago and felt much more relaxed.
"To give me some peace and quiet, Consort Li left first."
Lin Yaning feigned shock, "Cousin is now in love with Consort Li?"
The Emperor frowned. "Whom I hold in my heart may not be clear to others, but don't you understand?"
Lin Wenyao replied, "Of course I understand. Cousin, you only have your wife in your heart. The reason you're with Consort Li is entirely because she entered the palace and is your woman."
"You are simply fulfilling your duty as emperor."
The Emperor's expression softened, and his eyes revealed appreciation. "Wenyao, you have always been knowledgeable and reasonable, and you have unique insights into various matters."
Lin Yaning seized the opportunity to interject, "Where's my cousin-in-law?"
The Emperor's face darkened. "She has no feelings for me at all!"
"Consort Xu suggested that I bring a few more women with me to the Empress. If she gets angry or displeased, it means she doesn't like me."
"However, I tried many times, but she remained unmoved."
"She has no regard for me at all!"
Lin Yaning looked puzzled. "If I remember correctly, my cousin's wife is pregnant now. How could my cousin make her angry at this time?"
The Emperor's expression suddenly changed, and he was about to speak when Lin Wenyao spoke first, scolding, "Ya Ning, how dare you!"
"My cousin just cares too much about his wife. Although he flirts with other women, he values his wife the most!"
The emperor felt a little relieved, and his expression improved.
However, Lin Yaning innocently retorted, "Oh? So this is what you call valuing someone?"
The Emperor: No, these two people are talking strangely, but I can't find anything wrong with what they're saying.
Lin Wenyao tugged at Lin Yaning's sleeve, then took her leave after bidding farewell to the Emperor.
Once they left the Imperial Garden, they finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lin Yaning pouted, "The Emperor clearly just doesn't dare admit that he's changed his mind."
Lin Wenyao: "After all, he was the one who insisted on becoming empress despite all the objections, and he said that he would never fail her in this life."
Lin Yaning smiled at him and said, "It's just talk. I believe that before long, a lot of good news will come from the harem."
...
The betrothal gifts stretched from the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence all the way to the outside street.
The roadside was crowded with onlookers.
"Good news is coming soon at the Prime Minister's residence! I heard it's between Elder Xuan and Miss Lin."
"Wow, what a grand display!"
"Of course! I have a relative who works at the Xuan Mansion. He's been so busy lately that he's practically emptied the entire storeroom to prepare for his wedding!"
"Really! This is incredible! It seems Elder Xuan is quite fond of that Lin family girl."
"It's a pity I'm not a girl, otherwise I would have taken a chance too!"
Yun San led a group of attendants, carrying wedding candies, and everyone who saw them on the roadside received a share.
The steward then directed the servants carrying the load to move it little by little.
Prime Minister Lin was all smiles. Although these things wouldn't end up in his pocket, he certainly had the face to save!
He knew that some people in the court thought he had sent his daughter away in order to get close to Xuanhe.
But now, anyone with eyes can see that he's not selling his daughter.
It's obvious that Xuanhe is practically begging to be his mistress.
Song Jinhuan was invited to the main hall and sat opposite Xuanhe.
Prime Minister Lin and his wife sat in the main seats. One matchmaker stood in the hall saying auspicious words, while another matchmaker stood guard at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence, cheerfully calling out as each load of betrothal gifts was carried in.
The faint sounds became the background noise in the lobby.
