Chapter 96: A Shallow Fate
No one expected that the General's Mansion, which had lost its population and the favor of the emperor, would marry into the royal family.
The general's family really raised a good daughter.
As a result, many families turned their attention to Lin Hao. Since her elder sister became the Princess of Wei, it would be nice if she married her younger sister and became the brother-in-law of the King of Wei.
The best part is that there are only two girls in the general's mansion, and the benefits of marrying Miss Lin Er are not just about becoming a brother-in-law to the King of Wei.
However, these families all have to save face. It would be a bit awkward for Miss Lin Da to eagerly ask for Miss Lin Er to marry her right after she has been engaged to the King of Wei. It would be better to wait a bit and wait until Miss Lin Da actually becomes the Princess of Wei.
But for Han Baocheng, the fact that Miss Lin received the jade ruyi bestowed by the emperor meant that he would never have a chance to be with Miss Lin again.
This time, it was Yang Zhe and others who invited him to drink.
Zhang Liangyu, the youngest son of the Imperial Household Department's Shaoqing, who once joked that the first one to be eliminated was always Zhang Liangyu, now looked at his friend with only sympathy.
He patted Han Baocheng on the shoulder and said, "Brother Han, marriage is destined by heaven, so think positively."
Han Baocheng held the wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and laughed, "I know. I have nothing to worry about. It's not like I've ever been with Miss Lin."
After hearing this, several people felt relieved. Especially Zhang Liangyu and Li Lan, they had both proposed to Miss Lin before, so it was natural that they were not particularly affectionate. Judging from their own experience, they believed that Brother Han was the same.
Of course, Brother Han must be more depressed than them. Seeing that the marriage was about to be completed, it suddenly didn't go smoothly. No one would be happy.
As a man, if you feel depressed, just drink some wine and you will feel better.
Han Baocheng drank one cup after another and got drunk.
"Brother Han, are you okay?" Wen Feng asked with concern.
Among the people present, he was the one Han Baocheng and Lin Chan felt most sorry for.
"It's okay." Han Baocheng waved his hands, his eyes still clear. "You all know how much I can drink, so what's the problem?"
Yang Zhe also said: "Brother Han, let me take you back."
Han Baocheng smiled and refused: "I really am not drunk, and there are servants here."
"Take good care of your young master." When the show was over, several people instructed Han Baocheng's servant.
Han Baocheng walked forward in silence, the smell of alcohol on his breath gradually making his vision a little hazy.
"Sir, we've taken the wrong path." The servant followed closely behind and reminded him.
Han Baocheng stopped, looked at the servant, and then looked around: "Wrong? What's wrong——"
He paused, realizing he had indeed taken a wrong turn.
This seems to be the direction leading to the general's mansion.
Realizing this, his heart ached dully, followed by confusion.
He obviously shouldn't be so upset. It was just that he had met the girl twice by chance and thought she was good in every way and wanted to marry her, but the proposal didn't work out.
There are many girls who are good in all aspects.
A carriage approached, with the logo of the General's Mansion on it.
Han Baocheng subconsciously hid behind a tree.
The apricot-colored quilted curtain embroidered with chrysanthemums was lifted, revealing the beautiful face of the girl.
It’s Miss Lin!
Han Baocheng thought he was discovered, so he quickly shrank back. He was drunk and a little panicked, so he hit his forehead on a tree.
He covered his forehead and watched the carriage curtains drop and the carriage gradually move away.
It turned out that Miss Lin didn't see him.
Han Baocheng put down his hand, feeling both relieved and disappointed.
It was strange. He was clearly a little dizzy from drinking, so why did Miss Lin’s eyebrows and eyes appear so clear in his eyes just now?
"Sir, your forehead is broken!" the servant was shocked.
Han Baocheng subconsciously touched his forehead, looked at the blood on his hand, and smiled: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
He staggered a little as he walked towards the Shangshu Mansion, and gradually his steps became more and more steady.
Forget it, forget it, thinking too much will give you a headache.
In the carriage were Lin Chan and Lin.
Receiving the jade ruyi from the emperor meant that the royal family recognized Lin Chan as their daughter-in-law, so Mrs. Lin took Lin Chan to the street to buy some.
Since her daughter is willing, she, as a mother, naturally has to prepare for the wedding well and let her daughter get married in a grand manner.
I can't guarantee anything else about marrying into the royal family, but my daughter's dowry will only be more than others, never less.
"Chan'er, what are you looking at?"
Lin Chan put down her hand that was pinching the car curtain and smiled: "I didn't see anything, I just felt a little stuffy and wanted to take a breath."
Lin smiled and said, "It's getting cold, and the cotton curtains are a bit tight. How about rolling up the car curtains?"
"No, the wind was quite strong just now." Lin Chan poured a cup of honey water for Lin, "Drink a cup of honey water to moisten your throat."
Lin felt better after drinking the sweet honey water.
Seeing Chan'er like this, she really had no objection to this marriage, so she felt relieved.
"Chan'er, you should drink more water too."
The carriage creaked, carrying the mother and daughter's whispers to Changchun Street.
The one who was most annoyed about Miss Lin becoming the Princess of Wei was the Crown Prince.
He had long regarded the Lin sisters as his targets. Now that the eldest daughter Lin had become the fourth son's fiancée and the second daughter Lin had become the fourth son's future sister-in-law, how could he succeed?
But he couldn't possibly go to his father and say that he opposed this marriage.
As an older brother, what position does he have to object?
The prince had been doing well for more than 20 years, but suddenly he was very upset, and there was no one in the East Palace who could relieve his worries.
Forget the Crown Princess. As an old couple, I'm too lazy to look at her any more. All she needs is to take care of the Eastern Palace for him. Ever since Concubine Sun injured her face and hands, he hasn't been there much. The longer the time has passed, the less interested he becomes. As for the other concubines, he's even a little blurry about their appearances.
I’m bored, I’m just bored!
The prince's annoyance was so obvious that his trusted eunuch Wang Gui served him tea and poured him water, trying to cheer him up.
"Stop shaking. I'm annoyed just looking at you!" The prince naturally said whatever he wanted to the eunuchs around him.
Wang Gui understood the Crown Prince's annoyance perfectly well, and he cautiously suggested, "Your Highness, if you're feeling bored in the palace, why not go out and relax?"
"What's the point of going out to relax?" The Crown Prince became even more annoyed when he heard this. "Are you going to play chess with Prince Jing?"
Mentioning this, he became even more furious: "I really didn't realize before that Qi Shuo is such a competitive person."
Don’t you know he’s the prince? I’ll win the next game against him and defeat him every time.
What an ignorant thing!
My previous intention was not to drink, but to meet the Lin sisters by chance. If I lost, I lost. Now I can't bear it when I think about it.
Qi Shuo doesn't take him, the prince, seriously.
Seeing that the prince's face became even uglier, Wang Gui didn't dare to say anything more.
The prince glanced over and said, "Wang Gui, you know best what I want. Can you tell me if there is any other solution?"
Wang Gui suddenly became nervous.
This question needs to be answered carefully.
He was able to become the crown prince's confidant because he could give him advice that others dared not think of or could not even think of. If the crown prince thought he was useless, who knows how many people would want to step on him to get ahead.
Under the prince's expectant gaze, Wang Gui's eyes turned and he had an idea.
