Normally, the newlyweds should visit their parents-in-law on the first day and have the daughter-in-law serve them tea.
Thinking of the beautiful and noble princess yesterday and the evil things Lin Yong did, Qin's heart was beating fast and she didn't dare to sit in the main seat.
The Lin family members in the room all lowered their heads to tidy up their clothes, fearing that they would be disrespectful when they saw the princess. The room was filled with silence.
When Lin Hancheng helped Dan Ruo in, Qin and everyone in the room saluted in unison.
"Meet the princess."
Dan Ruo took two quick steps, helped Qin up, and then led her to the main seat and helped her sit down. "Mother, please don't be so polite in the future. You're embarrassing your daughter-in-law."
Qin felt dizzy. From a close distance, she found the princess to be so beautiful that she seemed not ordinary. Her breath was fragrant, and she was so approachable.
Danruo took the tea that Liluo had prepared and handed it to Qin respectfully.
Qin kept her eyes on the princess. When she saw that she was about to offer her tea, she quickly reached out to take the tea before it was handed to her. She was afraid of tiring the princess.
He took it and drank it all, then with a look of joy on his face he pulled the princess to sit in the main seat.
She carefully put the jade bracelet that symbolized the identity of the mistress of the Lin family on the princess, and at the same time gave her the emerald headpiece that was the most precious item in her dowry.
As for her own son, Qin acted as if she didn't see him from beginning to end.
Dan Ruo then looked at everyone in the room and said, "Everyone, please don't be polite."
Seeing Dan Ruo lower herself and take the initiative to befriend Qin, Lin Hancheng was filled with joy that the precious princess could do this for him.
Everyone looked at Lin Hancheng and saw that their iron-faced head of the family, who was always calm, composed and self-possessed, had a smirk on his face on the first day after his marriage.
Next, Lin Hancheng introduced everyone to the princess one by one.
Lin Hancheng's father was the eldest son and the eldest son of the eldest branch of the family.
During his lifetime, Lin's father was a playboy, with illegitimate children scattered all over the country. Every year, many came to the Qin family to claim their kinship, but Qin Shi suppressed them and refused to let them claim their kinship, simply giving them money to get rid of them. Later, after Lin's father died, all those who came to the Qin family to claim their kinship were treated as frauds and kicked out. After all, Lin's father was dead, and no one could prove that they were his biological sons.
Currently, Lin Hancheng is the only one left in the eldest house.
The second and third branches are Lin's father's illegitimate brothers, and the fourth branch is Lin's father's legitimate younger brother. Lin Yong is the fourth branch's only grandson at present.
Danruo accepted the gifts from the second and third houses with a smile, and asked Liluo and Liran to give carefully selected gifts to everyone in return.
When it was the fourth room's turn, Uncle Lin's old face was as bright as a chrysanthemum, and he handed over the masterpiece of the contemporary great painter Wu Qingzi in a flattering manner.
Dan Ruo's face turned cold. In the previous life, Lin Yong and his family did not use the name of the original princess to do bad things.
Fourth Uncle Lin's face was almost frozen, and then Dan Ruo slowly spoke, each word full of power:
"I dare not accept the Fourth House's gift. After all, the Fourth House's grandson, Lin Yong, has never met me and thinks I'm domineering and jealous. If I get my hands on the Fourth House's gift, I'm afraid everyone in the capital will know tomorrow that I'm greedy and accept bribes."
The Princess of the Heavenly Family's aura was fully unleashed, and everyone in the room felt numb all over. Fourth Uncle Lin and the people from the Fourth House knelt down and said, "Princess, please forgive me."
Dan Ruo snorted coldly, "I have already punished Lin Yong, what crime has the fourth room committed?"
Fourth Uncle Lin hesitated for a moment, sweating profusely, unable to say anything, and looked at Lin Hancheng as if asking for help.
Lin Hancheng handed the princess a cup of warm tea. "The fourth house has failed to educate their children properly. The Lin family will definitely give the princess an explanation and will not let her suffer any injustice in vain."
Dan Ruo saw Lin Hancheng's resolute expression and nodded softly, "It's all up to the prince consort."
After everyone dispersed, the two of them had to go to the palace to pay their respects to the emperor and the imperial concubine.
The Emperor's chief eunuch, An Deyu, personally went to the palace gate to greet them: "Princess, the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort are in the Imperial Study right now, and have specifically instructed me to come and fetch you and your husband."
An Deyu took the opportunity to look at Princess Rong'an's new son-in-law. The news of the last-minute change of the son-in-law yesterday had spread throughout the palace and outside the palace.
The masters of each palace have sent people to inquire about the new prince consort. The number of palace servants encountered along the way is three to five times more than usual.
But look at this prince consort, he is so imposing and dignified, and there is no trace of the materialism of a businessman at all. He is not shy when entering the palace for the first time, and he exudes a calm, reliable and mature aura.
Along the way, the prince consort always took care of the princess' steps and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Perhaps this marriage was not as bad as the Imperial Noble Consort thought. As soon as the Emperor left the court, the Imperial Noble Consort blocked the door of the Imperial Study with red eyes.
They quickly reached the imperial study. Just as they were about to greet each other, the emperor smiled and said, "We are family, so there is no need for such formalities."
Lin Hancheng knelt and bowed devoutly, his attitude sincere: "Yesterday, the Lin family caused the princess to suffer injustice, and Hancheng cannot escape the blame even if he dies. I beg the emperor to punish me."
The Imperial Concubine burst into tears when she mentioned this, her voice trembling with anger: "My precious child has been publicly humiliated by a young man from a merchant family. He is forcing the new bride to take a concubine before she even enters the house. I wish I could kill the entire Lin family."
Lin Hancheng once again paid great tribute to the Imperial Concubine, and said sincerely: "The Lin family will never escape the blame."
Dan Ruo looked at her mother's red eyes and knew she would have a restless night. She went forward to hug her mother, patted her back and soothed her: "Mother, don't be angry. This is a good thing. You saw Lin Yong's true character early on, so your daughter won't marry the wrong man."
The emperor looked at Lin Hancheng as if he were looking at a gold ingot. After the farce yesterday, Lin Hancheng proposed to marry his daughter on the spot with double the betrothal gift, and the royal family's face was restored.
So when he saw that it was almost time, he started to persuade him: "I think yesterday's incident was a coincidence, and it also led to a beautiful marriage. Lin Yong's mistake has nothing to do with Hancheng. Hancheng, get up quickly."
