It’s not that Xiao Lingdang doesn’t believe Chu Yu, but not many people know about the secret realm from beginning to end.
But if she really married Chu Yu in the future, it would be difficult to hide it from him.
So Xiao Lingling didn't worry too much.
"Well, then tell him. There's no rush to talk about it when we get married."
Zhao was not afraid of what Chu Yu would do, so she respected Xiao Lingdang's plan.
The two chatted for a while before they heard Fang coming back cursing.
Xiao Lingling was a little surprised to see her like this. She immediately thought that her father had done something bad, so she stood up and went to the front yard to help.
"Mom, is Dad making things difficult for Brother Yu? I'll go check it out!"
As she said that, she ran out. Fortunately, Fang was quick-witted and grabbed her.
"Oh, that's enough. This is really enlightening. My mindset has changed immediately.
If your father heard this, he would be sad for several days.
Don't worry, your father didn't do anything. I don't know why the two of them started drinking early in the morning.
When I went there, the two of them had already finished a jar of wine and were hugging each other to show their friendship.
Look, I finally managed to get the servants to help and get them back to their room to rest, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
…
The room was silent for a moment.
After a long while, Zhao couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, I knew it would be like this.
Your father has been wanting to have a drink with Chu Yu for a long time, but he is a junior after all and he is not usually available.
He's got the chance today. Don't worry, your father knows what's going on.
We all know how Chu Yu treats you. He just can't bear to let you go.
It's good to have a fight today, at least it allows him to vent and resolve his worries."
Fang nodded and said, "Yes, your father is not good at talking, but he can't bear to leave you.
Okay, don't think too much about it, let them get some sleep first."
Xiao Lingling's heart softened as well. She scratched her head and said nothing more.
But no one expected that they would sleep until the evening.
The aftereffects of the headache were a bit obvious, but fortunately the atmosphere between the two of them had improved a lot, which finally made Xiao Lingling feel relieved.
At this point, their marriage has passed the Lin family's hurdle.
But, just as some people are happy, naturally some people are unhappy.
Outside the imperial study in the palace, all the eunuchs and guards slowed down their movements and even their breathing.
The emperor was in a bad mood since the morning and locked himself in his room all day.
He refused to eat and refused to see anyone, even the prince was useless.
Everyone was guessing why the emperor was angry, but they had no clue.
Su Jingshuo sat dejectedly on the dragon throne, his eyes fixed on the secret letter that he had crumpled up on the desk.
That was what Chu Yu passed on to him, and it explained in detail the events from the war between the barbarians to the peace talks.
He also mentioned that he planned to go to the Lin family to propose marriage and request that the Chu family army be handed over to Xue Zhining for management.
Nothing else matters, his eyes are always fixed on the word "propose marriage".
So, is the scene he least wants to see finally happening?
Although he has been staying in the capital for many years and has few opportunities to meet Xiao Lingdang, he knows everything Xiao Lingdang has experienced in the past few years.
Even, he knows them like the back of his hand.
He worked very hard and taught the prince so that he could take over the throne as soon as possible and break free from this bondage.
But in the end, he still couldn't wait for that day.
He is not stupid. He knew Chu Yu's thoughts many years ago, and they both knew each other well.
Over the years, we've been secretly competing with each other. What did you give me? What did I give you? Whose gift is more to Xiao Lingling's liking? Xiao Lingling looks at who gets the most...
All along, the two of them have had their wins and losses.
But the only thing that discouraged him was that he never saw any different feelings in Xiao Lingling's eyes when she looked at him.
In other words, Xiao Lingling always treated him as a friend, a brother, a family member, and an emperor, but never as someone she loved.
He knew it clearly, but he still comforted himself that she was still young and didn't understand love.
But he had clearly seen how excited Xiao Lingling was when she mentioned Chu Yu.
Those eyes clearly showed what he wanted most.
He lost...
He had lost a long time ago, but he just refused to admit it.
Now that the facts are before his eyes, he has no choice but to believe it or not.
He raised his hands to cover his eyes, as if no one would know that he was crying.
In this way, he sat from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn.
It wasn't until the dazzling sunlight shone in that he suddenly woke up.
Never mind, it was just a dream after all.
He should have known it earlier. Since the person she liked was not him, it would not be a bad idea to fulfill her wish.
Among three people, there must be someone who is happy.
It’s not bad to protect her as her brother.
So, with trembling hands, he wrote the imperial decree granting the marriage in his own handwriting.
He also asked someone to bring the account book of the private treasury and wrote in the name of the betrothal gift that he had secretly prepared instead of a congratulatory gift.
After he finished writing, he seemed to have no strength left and collapsed on the chair...
I have to say that being in love is a very happy thing. Even if you just go shopping, eat delicious food, and go out to enjoy the scenery every day, you will feel extremely happy.
But these things are obviously very ordinary.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed.
Xiao Lingling successfully completed her coming-of-age ceremony and got engaged in front of everyone.
Everything just happens naturally.
If I must say there was something unexpected.
That was probably the large number of gifts sent by Su Jingshuo.
A lot, really a lot.
Various precious calligraphy and paintings, as well as valuable spices, medicinal herbs, fabrics and various sets of clothing and jewelry.
There are even many rare treasures sent from other countries.
Each one of them is worth a lot of money, it is really precious.
Little Bell didn't dare to collect it at all.
Only Su Daocheng and Chu Yu knew what Su Jingshuo was thinking.
Su Daocheng knew that this was his son's intention, so he found an excuse to comfort him and let Xiao Lingling accept it.
The Lin family immediately expressed their intention to put all these things into Xiao Lingling's dowry list and take them with her when she got married.
