It was rumored that Xiao Cen didn't want to marry because he was afraid he couldn't have children. Xiao Jinan even asked the imperial physician to verify this. Xiao Cen was indeed injured on the battlefield in his early years and it was difficult for him to have his own children.
So Xiao Jinan knew very well that no matter what happened, he was still the prince of the palace.
But, is it really?
Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and tightly grasped the sachet in her palm.
Maybe it's a cheat code after rebirth? Or something else.
Anyway, when she woke up, this thing was already in her hand, and without opening it, Lin Chunhuan already knew clearly what was inside and what its function was.
She didn't find it strange. After all, wasn't that what was written in the storybook?
Well, Xiao Cen only had this one child in his previous life, so although he was dissatisfied with what he did, he did not punish him in the end.
What if he had children of his own?
Can Xiao Jinan get what he wants this time?
If it is destined that I must get married today, why must it be Xiao Jinan?
If the girl from the Lin family can change from Lin Chunuan to her, Lin Chunhuan, then the boy from the Xiao family doesn’t have to be Xiao Jinan, right? Xiao Cen also has the surname Xiao!
"Miss Lin, this... the palace, should we wait?"
The matchmaker's voice came from outside the sedan chair. Lin Chunhuan didn't say anything. Soon, a servant poked his head out and opened the door of the palace.
However, the door was only opened a crack and closed again as soon as the servant came out.
"Oh, someone is finally here!"
The matchmaker breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the palace would not open its doors today. She had no control over the reputation of the girl in the sedan chair, but she couldn't let her reputation be ruined.
Seeing someone, he immediately stepped forward, shaking his hips and waving a handkerchief, "Brother, the prince's wife has arrived. Do you think it's time to open the palace to welcome the bride?"
"Wedding? What bride?"
The servant raised his chin to the sky, "My master said that we should let the Lin family girl go back!"
"Our Prince Pingyang's palace can only have one consort, Miss Qingcheng!"
The matchmaker's face turned green. Of course, she had heard about Xiao Jinan and the female doctor Qingcheng, but if it weren't for Qingcheng, the emperor probably wouldn't have granted the marriage between the Xiao and Lin families so quickly.
Xiao Jinan's move was clearly a direct insult to the Lin family.
How could a married girl go back home? It was obvious that she looked down on the Lin family for helping the emperor and Prince Pingyang ruin his marriage, and she humiliated the girl of the Lin family on the spot.
Perhaps my father and stepmother had anticipated what would happen today, and that's why they didn't want Lin Chu Nuan to marry into the family.
Lin Chunhuan chuckled, but no emotion could be heard.
The matchmaker's expression was not good either, but the other party was just a servant, and now he represented the prince, so she could only soften her tone, "Young man, what are you saying?"
"This is a marriage granted by the Emperor. How can we just go back? Isn't this disobeying the Emperor's order?"
"Disobeying the imperial order is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan!"
The servant had obviously received instructions long ago, so he wasn't afraid when he heard this. He glanced at the matchmaker and asked, "Aren't you going back?"
"Okay, then please wait for Miss Lin."
"Even if the prince comes back and opens the door, I'll have to trouble you and the rooster to come and get married. After all, our prince won't recognize him!"
The exact same scene happened again, and the fact was just as the servant said. She endured the humiliation and got married with a rooster, becoming a laughing stock in the whole capital.
But this time, she really found it funny.
“Puchi…hahahahaha.”
As the servant finished speaking, just when the matchmaker was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the sedan chair, so unrestrained and loud that it seemed as if tears were coming out of her laughter.
The laughter temporarily quieted the chaotic scene.
Then, a hand stretched out from the sedan chair. It was as slender as jade, warm and delicate, and the slightly powdery fingertips seemed to glow in the sunlight.
The big red curtain was lifted.
Lin Chunhuan bent down and walked out, lifting the veil on her head.
"What? Is there no one left in the Xiao family? If Xiao Jinan doesn't want to marry, then find someone else. After all, he's not the only one with the surname Xiao in the world."
Although the tone was obviously cold, it sounded indescribably charming when it came out of that mouth, and the scene was silent for a moment.
Lin Chunhuan didn't care, and threw the veil aside. He reached out and grabbed the servant's collar, "Go tell your master that the emperor will marry Xiao Jialang, not Xiao Jinan."
"I'm willing to marry any man with the surname Xiao!"
The servant stared blankly at the person in front of him with his mouth half open. When he was released, his face from cheeks to ears turned red, and his previous arrogance was gone.
"This is called...Mao Ruo, Wu Yan?"
After a brief silence, a fierce discussion broke out among the onlookers. Even the matchmaker was shocked. She had seen so many brides, but none could compare to the one in front of her.
No, among all the people she had ever met, only the second daughter of the Lin family, who was known as the most beautiful woman, was qualified to compare.
But it's just a comparison, the two are not on the same level at all!
Lin Chunhuan ignored the discussions and heated gazes.
She couldn't see her own face, but she vaguely knew that she should be more beautiful than before, and even her fingers were smoother and more slender than she remembered.
But now is not the time to discuss appearance. Lin Chunhuan looked at the servant with a pair of eyes, and his attitude was very clear, he just wanted an explanation.
The servant hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't resist the attack of beauty, "Auntie, please don't look at me."
"My prince accompanied Miss Qingcheng on an outing outside the capital. He wasn't at the palace today!"
Lin Chunhuan frowned, "Besides him, there are no other men in the Xiao family!"
"You have to think it through. I, Lin Chunhuan, will never marry a rooster. If this marriage doesn't happen today, we will both be disobeying the emperor's order. At worst, we will die together!"
"Miss Lin, please don't make things difficult for me." The servant was sweating and begging for mercy tremblingly.
This sister is really beautiful, and really fierce. Who has ever seen a woman who chooses a man to marry on her own? "Besides the prince, there is only one master in the palace, the prince. Are you going to marry the prince?"
She just wants to marry the prince!
Lin Chunhuan pursed his lips, not revealing his ultimate goal for the time being, "Why not, the prince is getting married?"
“Never…never.”
The servant responded a little bewilderedly.
"Then, is the prince's surname Xiao?"
"Of course, the Crown Prince takes the Prince's surname. The Crown Prince's surname is Xiao, so of course the Prince's is also..." The servant felt more and more guilty as he spoke, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Lin Chunhuan didn't care, "That's it, call Prince Pingyang out and marry me!"
"Who wants to marry me?"
A cold and hoarse voice sounded from behind.
Lin Chunhuan turned around, walked through the bustling crowd, and met the eyes of Xiao Cen, who was sitting on a tall horse with a stern face. He showed no intention of retreating.
