-Lin Mansion-
In the main house, Lin Cenyi couldn't sleep at night because he thought about the stupid things he had done that caused his daughter to marry Mu Peiyuan.
Lin Cenyi patted his wife's hand:
"You said I should go to the Emperor and ask him to cancel this marriage and let my daughter marry again, this time letting her choose carefully. I promise to listen to her opinion personally."
Mrs. Lin knew that Lin Cenyi lost his mind when he encountered the matter of his eldest daughter, and she couldn't help but say to him:
"You think the emperor is your youngest son? He'll just listen to whatever you say. Can the imperial decree be changed overnight? Where is the emperor's authority then?
And even if I take my daughter back, what good family can she marry into if she remarries?
If the divorce with the Mu family turns out to be unhappy, it will also affect the marriage of my youngest son and daughter."
Lin Cenyi's eyes were red: "If you say so, then there is nothing we can do.
But after what happened today, I'm afraid my daughter's sister-in-law and mother-in-law will hold a grudge against her because of Ji Yong."
Mrs. Lin choked with sobs, "How could I not know? Tomorrow I'll send Yuchuan's mother to try to get a grip on Yuchuan's situation. If that doesn't work out, I'll try to get her two younger siblings married as soon as possible. After that, I'll bring my eldest daughter back."
Lin Cenyi knew this was the most rational approach, but when he thought about the two little twins who were only ten years old, he couldn't help but feel conflicted:
"That's too long. I feel like Mu Peilan will go to jail because of her only son, and she lives in the Mu family. What if she joins forces with the Mu family to harm my daughter?"
Mrs. Lin twisted his arm and said angrily:
"That's why I've been advising you to use your experience as the emperor's tutor to climb the career ladder. Mu Peiyuan is a first-rank official, so you should be one too. That way, no one will dare to harm your daughter."
Lin Cenyi felt like he had been injected with chicken blood and had a direction.
"Tomorrow I'll go to the Emperor to rekindle our relationship, starting from when I played truant with him to steal bird eggs and took his beatings. I'll ask him to give me a chance to perform and get a promotion. I must become the Emperor's most favored minister."
The next day after the court session, Lin Cenyi took the initiative to stay and ask to see the emperor.
Murong Yan thought that Lin Cenyi had something important to discuss with him, but he didn't expect that Lin Cenyi was looking for him to play chess.
It just so happens that I've been feeling down lately, and playing chess is so boring, so I might as well just drink.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of the late crown prince. The empress dowager set out two days ago to pray for the late crown prince at Lingshan Mountain, hundreds of miles away from the capital. It will take 81 days, and she will return to the capital in about three months.
During this period, the Queen Mother was finally willing to register the child of a distant relative of the royal family whom she favored under the name of the Queen, and she would personally raise him/her. This was a balance achieved between mother and child.
The chosen pregnant woman was already three months pregnant. When the baby was born, she would be brought to the palace and passed off as the queen's child. However, he had not had time to tell the queen about this.
The truth is that he had a few embarrassing moments after returning from the Queen's last visit.
Later, the queen invited him again, and she chose a number of ordinary-looking girls from the Ming family, and insisted on giving him a position and taking him into the palace.
He explicitly rejected the Queen's proposal. It would not be good for him to delay these women because of his impotence. Besides, these women chosen by the Queen stood with him, and he felt that he, the emperor, was the one being taken advantage of.
After all, the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor were both good-looking. When he was fifteen or sixteen years old and still an idle prince, countless noble ladies wanted to marry him.
At that time, I just wanted to travel the world with a sword and had no interest in these things at all. Turning twenty was a wake-up call, and I no longer had any interest in them.
So he was a little reluctant to see the Queen, fearing that his sister-in-law would stuff a bunch of women into his life again. However, he had to talk to the Queen in person about the adoption of a child.
After a few drinks, Lin Cenyi began to recall the past purposefully. He started a conversation, and Murong Yan also fell into memories.
Those were happy times. When I got into minor trouble, Lin Cenyi would help me find a solution, and when I got into major trouble, the former crown prince would protect me.
Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Lin Cenyi suggested that he would like to do more to help Murong Yan share his worries.
Murong Yan tilted his head. "Something's wrong with you. I remember your dream since childhood was to be mediocre. You can't do too much work. Life is so short. Being happy is the most important thing."
Lin Cenyi was exposed by Murong Yan and couldn't hide his bitter smile: "I have reached middle age and suddenly feel that I should have more power to protect my children."
Murong Yan sensed something was amiss, "Who bullied your child? Your child is my nephew. I will teach him a lesson for you."
Lin Cenyi couldn't help but tell Murong Yan everything that had happened in the past two days, and burst into tears:
"It's better for a man to have only one wife. I was deceived and had a concubine and a concubine's daughter. This concubine's daughter harmed my beloved eldest daughter. She was restless and stirred up trouble in the Mu family. Now that she is dead, it doesn't matter.
But my eldest daughter is still in the Mu family. How could the Mu family treat my daughter well?
You can't write two Lins with one stroke of the pen. How could the affairs between Lin Shushu and Ji Yong not affect Dan Ruo? "
Murong Yan fell into deep thought. This matter was indeed too ridiculous. Who could have thought of it?
Look, Lin Cenyi has already held the wine jar in his arms as if it were a baby and started performing.
"I was seventeen when I got married, and gave birth to my eldest daughter the year before. She was fair, tender and lovely, and it was my first time to experience the feeling of tenderness. You, the emperor, once held her in your arms, and you said she looked like a small dumpling.
Now that little Tangyuan is in trouble, how can the emperor not save him?
Could the Emperor issue an order for them to divorce?"
After watching Lin Cenyi act crazy and stupid for a long time, he finally spoke his true feelings.
