Chapter 249 The Second Princess Gets Married
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely live up to your trust."
The prince felt that Lord Shen seemed to have misunderstood his meaning.
He turned to look at the Second Prince beside him, and the two looked at each other with helpless smiles in their eyes.
But having this kind of help is better than having nothing at all.
Lin specially chose the day of the second princess' wedding to send He Yunyao away from the capital.
This was also Minister He's decision.
Indeed, on the day of the Second Princess's wedding, almost all the dignitaries in the capital would go to Master Lin's house to attend the wedding banquet.
The palace is also focusing all its attention on the second princess and is not paying attention to this aspect.
But she forgot that there was a person named Zhou who was staring at He Yunyao.
In order to fulfill the second princess's filial piety, she was married off from Shupin's Zhuhua Palace.
Before leaving, Lu Xingxue and Lin Zizhou simply knelt down and bowed to Concubine Shu in the hall of Zhuhua Palace.
Because of the words spoken by the Emperor of Great Chu, Shupin can now only watch her daughter in the courtyard from the palace. She can only stand at the door but cannot go out. She can only hold the door tightly and watch her daughter go away.
It was the first time that Shupin felt sad.
Seeing the daughter she had raised since childhood leave like this, and fearing that she would never see her again in the future, Shupin felt even more sad.
When Lu Xingxue turned around, tears also fell from her eyes.
The maidservant who was accompanying the princess hurriedly handed her a handkerchief and said, "Princess, you can't cry on such a happy day."
Lin Zizhou also held the Second Princess's hand tightly: "It's okay. If you miss your mother, we can ask for permission to go to the palace to see her in the future."
Lu Xingxue nodded and a smile appeared on her face.
They don't understand.
Her tears were not because she couldn't bear to leave Shupin, but because she was saying goodbye to Shupin.
Ever since her mother wanted her to marry into the distant Yuefeng Kingdom as a peace alliance, she had seen through it completely.
My mother might have some love for me, but that little bit of love is nothing compared to her desire for power.
A few days ago, my mother said she was sick and wanted to see me.
She was really moved at that time, and thought that her mother might have truly repented after being imprisoned for such a long time.
But after meeting her, my enthusiasm was quickly extinguished by her.
My mother just wanted to speak up and ask my father to release her from confinement.
That was why Lu Xingxue went to the Great Chu Emperor to beg him, hoping to marry out of the Zhuhua Palace.
When leaving the palace, Lu Xingxue ignored the palace maids' obstruction and turned back to take a look at the deep palace that had trapped her for fifteen years.
I can finally escape from this deep palace.
The maid beside her hurriedly pulled her back: "Princess, you can't turn back, you can't turn back..."
The second princess turned to look at Lin Zizhou beside her and smiled brightly.
From then on, she finally became an independent person and could fight for her own future.
The wedding banquet was supposed to be held in the princess's residence, but the second princess took the initiative to express her willingness to live in the Grand Tutor's residence, which gave the Lin family a lot of face.
Originally, Taifu Lin didn't like the Second Princess, his granddaughter-in-law. After all, when Taifu Lin was teaching the Crown Prince in the palace, he had seen the First Princess and the Second Princess quarreling many times, so he didn't like the Second Princess from the bottom of his heart.
But he has always been reluctant to get too involved in the affairs of his children and grandchildren. Zizhou has always been a man with his own ideas, so I think the person he chooses will not be wrong.
This marriage was indeed a grand one.
After all, Master Lin is the current Prince's Master. Although he has retired now, he still has influence.
The prince will be the first to arrive.
The more lively it was, the more at ease Minister He felt. He bowed his head and signaled to his attendant to go back home and inform Lin that it was time to leave.
In order to send He Yunyao out of the city, Lin pretended to be sick and did not attend the wedding banquet.
Not far away, Pei Chuyan, who had been keeping an eye on He Yong, saw He Yong's followers leave, and winked at Lin Ji beside him, who quickly followed.
After all, he was trained by Duke Anguo, so Lin Ji understood what he meant without Pei Chuyan even saying a word.
Lin's path is indeed not smooth.
Not long after leaving the He Mansion, he ran into the wife of Marquis Guangqin.
"Why didn't Madam He attend the wedding banquet at the Grand Tutor's Mansion?" Madam Guangqin was naturally invited by He Yuyao early in the morning. She had no other business but to cause trouble for the Lin family.
Lin had not expected that she would be recognized by someone. She secretly cursed the coachman for being so stupid as to not find a nearby carriage.
He actually used the He Mansion's carriage directly.
No matter how poor the Guangqin Marquis's Mansion is, the Guangqin Marquis's wife is still the Marquis's wife.
Lin naturally did not dare to neglect it, and hurriedly got off the carriage, walked to the front of the wife of Guangqin Marquis and saluted: "Greetings to the Marquis."
Then she coughed a few times pretending to be uncomfortable: "I was not feeling well today, so I did not go to the Taifu's house to bother you."
"Oh~" Lady Guangqin said meaningfully, and then her eyes drifted towards the carriage behind Lin, "I heard that your little girl is not feeling well. I guess Madam He has been busy taking care of her these days."
Lin naturally didn't know the relationship between the wife of Marquis Guangqin and the wife of the old Duke of Anguo.
I just cursed this talkative old woman in my heart, why did she talk so much.
He did not dare to show any expression on his face, but just smiled and said, "Why didn't the Marquis' wife go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion?"
"Well, I, an old woman, won't make trouble anymore." Madam Guangqin had no intention of stopping, but became more and more excited. "Madam He probably doesn't know that my daughter-in-law is pregnant now. I want to pick out some suitable things for her."
After saying this, he looked at Lin with shining eyes: "I wonder if Madam Lin has time to accompany me..."
Lin was stunned.
Is this old woman crazy today?
I'm not familiar with her on weekdays, why did she suddenly invite me out like this?
Lin actually hesitated for a moment. She suddenly wondered if she could become friends with the Guangqin Marquis's family, would the old man look at her differently?
Lin suddenly came to her senses: "Today is an unfortunate day. I need to see a doctor."
The wife of Marquis Guangqin once again looked meaningfully at the carriage of the He Mansion, and then looked at Lin: "It's just that the road you took, Madam, seems to be the way out of the city."
Lin raised his head suddenly.
But seeing that Lady Guangqin seemed to be asking the question very sincerely, she heaved a sigh of relief and answered hesitantly: "I found a doctor outside the city..."
"Go quickly and don't delay." Lady Guangqin spoke again, much more decisively.
Lin hurriedly said goodbye and got on the carriage.
But in the end, he still took the last words of Lady Guangqin Marquis to heart.
