Chapter 107 It's Not Easy to Be a Prince
Prince Jing's family had always been very casual with each other. After hearing Qi Shuo's question, Prince Jing and Princess Jing asked in unison, "Shuo'er, who do you think should go?"
Under the gaze of his parents, Qi Shuo touched the tip of his nose and said, "How about I go in place of my father and mother?"
Princess Jing shook her head subconsciously: "Don't you dislike this kind of occasion?"
Prince Jing was a little unhappy.
If his son doesn’t like it, does that mean he will like it?
This woman is really partial to her son.
Qi Huan happened to walk in. When Princess Jing saw her second son, she said casually, "Why don't you let Huan'er go?"
Huan'er is usually not at home and loves to join in the fun.
Prince Jing took a sip of tea in silence.
It’s not that I’m completely partial to my son.
Qi Huan looked bewildered. He looked at his parents and then at his eldest brother: "Where are we going?"
Qi Shuo smiled and said, "There will be a birthday banquet for the wife of Marquis Wuning in two days. My father and mother are not able to go, so I will go there then."
Qi Huan looked at Princess Jing.
Princess Jing was still a little worried: "Shuo'er, are you really going?"
Shuoer has a heart disease. What if he has an attack in a messy situation?
"My son is the Crown Prince. If my father and mother are not going, it would be most appropriate for me to represent Prince Jing's Mansion."
After hearing what Qi Shuo said, Princess Jing nodded.
"Should I still go?" Qi Huan still didn't understand what was going on.
Princess Jing glanced at her second son and said, "Anything is fine, just don't go to those messy places."
Qi Huan cried out in injustice: "I don't have a son!"
It was that time when I went to visit Jinshui River with a friend, and I happened to see my friend fighting with another group of people. In the end, the quarrel became known to both sides' families, and my mother kept harassing them.
The two brothers left the main courtyard. Qi Huan glanced at his brother and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"What are you laughing at?" Qi Shuo glanced at his brother.
Qi Huan winked and said, "Brother, you are willing to go to the Wuning Marquis' wife's birthday banquet on behalf of father and mother. Is it possible that Miss Lin Er will also go?"
Qi Shuo glanced at his brother and said, "Don't wink, it makes you look too vulgar."
Seeing his brother striding away, Qi Huan took a picture of the smooth columns.
Is it really obscene?
The little princess's shocked voice came: "Second brother, what are you doing?"
My second brother uses the pillar as a mirror when he walks on the road. Is this a serious illness?
Qi Huan froze for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "Nothing. I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first."
Qi Qiong was left confused and turned to Lin Hao to complain: "Ah Hao, I really envy you for having sisters."
Lin Hao couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips: "Princess, there is no need to be envious. Sisters have their own advantages, and brothers and sisters have their own advantages."
Qi Qiong wanted to roll his eyes.
If Ah Hao's mouth corners hadn't been raised so high, she would have almost believed it.
"Sister Chan hasn't been going out recently. What is she busy with?"
Lin Hao said with a smile: "What else can I be busy with? Embroidering the dowry."
Speaking of this, Qi Qiong stroked his forehead and said, "I almost forgot to tell you, I have good news."
"What news?"
Qi Qiong lowered his voice: "My cousin... the King of Wei, has lost weight."
This is really an amazing thing, considering that every cousin she has seen over the years is like a ball, and it is a ball that keeps getting bigger and bigger.
I didn't expect that when I saw her again not long ago, I could obviously see that she had lost weight.
Lin Hao knew that the King of Wei would lose weight, but knowing was one thing. Only when there was a real big change did he feel relieved.
She was no exception and hoped that her sister would marry a handsome man.
The little princess continued, "I think if the Prince of Wei loses some weight, he might look very handsome. Please don't worry, Sister Chan."
Lin Hao smiled and said, "I see. Thank you, Princess, for telling me this news."
"Next time I see the King of Wei, I'll keep an eye on you and let you know if there's any change." Qi Qiong asked something else, "Will you go to the birthday party for the wife of the Marquis of Wuning?"
Lin Hao shook his head: "Mother said to ask the steward to send a gift."
This is what it means not to go.
Qi Qiong secretly felt sorry for his elder brother.
"Will the princess go with the princess?"
"I won't go either. My elder brother went there on behalf of Prince Jing's Mansion that day."
Lin Hao didn't think too much about it, and returned home with the little princess, but was told by Lin that she was going to attend the birthday party of the wife of Marquis Wuning.
"Didn't mother say she wouldn't go?"
The various prefectures in the capital were intricately connected, and there were numerous personal interactions. If one had a close relationship or was interested in gaining a close relationship, he would go in person after receiving the invitation. If the relationship was mediocre or even secretly at odds with one another, he would just send the steward to deliver a gift and the matter would be settled.
Lin didn't get along with the wife of Marquis Wuning, and suddenly she said she wanted to leave. Lin Hao couldn't understand what was going on.
Lin's lips curled up, unable to suppress her joy: "Mother has good news to tell you."
Lin Hao felt that this was strangely familiar, so he asked, "What's the good news?"
"The King of Wei has lost weight."
"Oh, really?" Lin Hao pretended to be surprised.
Lin said happily: "It can't be wrong. After hearing the news, I secretly went to see him. He really has lost a lot of weight."
Lin Hao twitched his lips.
There are not many people who are as curious as my mother.
Lin clasped her hands together and muttered, "Thank God! If the King of Wei can continue to lose weight, he might still be a handsome man when he marries your eldest sister."
That way the eldest daughter wouldn't have to marry a bunch of idiots, and her mother would feel better too.
"You still haven't told me why you're going to the Wuning Marquis' wife's birthday banquet again."
Lin said as if it was a matter of course: "I told you, the King of Wei has lost weight."
Lin Hao was at a loss.
Does this matter?
Lin raised her chin slightly, unable to conceal her elation. "When your elder sister was chosen as the Princess of Wei, countless people said sour things. Now that the Prince of Wei has lost weight, let's see what they say."
Those people have no morals. If their own daughter is chosen, they will be proud to marry into the royal family. If another girl is chosen, they will laugh at the fact that a good girl is marrying a fat man.
Due to the status of King Wei, they didn't dare to say it openly, but a meaningful look, a malicious smile, and a roundabout sour remark were enough to make people unhappy.
Mrs. Lin is not the type to swallow her anger. Now that her future son-in-law has made it, of course she wants to get back at him.
Lin Hao was helpless: "Mom, it's not necessary——"
Lin straightened her drooping hair and said, "I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway."
Lin Hao thought about it and agreed, so let’s go.
"Oh, please dress nicely that day. Your elder sister will be embroidering her wedding dress at home, so she won't be going."
"Don't worry, mother. All my daughter's clothes and jewelry are beautiful."
Lin smiled.
That's true.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the birthday banquet for the wife of Marquis Wuning, and Lin took Lin Hao out.
The Marquis of Wuning's Mansion was not far from the General's Mansion, and it was actually very convenient to walk there, but it was naturally impossible to stroll there in such an occasion, so the mother and daughter took a carriage.
Lin felt the carriage was stuffy, so she lifted the curtain to get some fresh air, and immediately saw the young man on horseback who was lagging behind.
"Ah, good, Ah, good."
Lin Hao came over: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Prince Jing is in the back, and it looks like he's also going to attend the birthday banquet for Marquis Wuning's wife."
Lin Hao had known for a long time that Qi Shuo would go, but he didn't react much when he heard what Lin said.
Instead, Lin sighed, "It's not easy. With my sick body, I still have to support such a huge palace in the future."
He rode his horse towards Qi Shuo who was about to say hello.
