Chapter 420: Engagement;
A royal palace, Lingzhou courtyard.
In the bedroom, Yu Yin lay in Ling Zhou's arms, narrating softly.
After briefly recounting the past events of her college days, she shook her head and sighed.
For her, the college years, I have to say, was a pity.
Ling Zhou hugged her, his chin rested on her shoulder, blowing hot air in her ear, and said, "Okay, don't think about it so much." Let's go, let's go to the main hall and dine with my mother. My mother said that something had been notified to us, and I didn't know what it was. β
"Hmm. β
Yu Yin's face was slightly red, and he nodded 'um'.
Then they got up, cleaned up, and walked towards the main hall.
β¦β¦
"Sister, aren't you going to participate in that event today?"
When I came to the main hall, I happened to meet my sister Ling Lanxin.
Seeing his sister, Ling Zhou asked suspiciously.
As far as he knew, his sister Ling Lanxin went to the city government this morning and participated in an event. He didn't know exactly what the activity was. He has always paid very little attention to these things.
"Well! just a simple activity, and it ended quickly. β
Ling Lanxin smiled, looked at Yu Yin, and said, "Yu Yin, I have also heard about the matter of Lanjing Manor, don't take it to heart, I have already helped you solve those women." β
Her words made Ling Zhou and Yu Yin stunned.
Looking at the reactions of her younger brother and Yu Yin, Ling Lanxin said, "The rest of their lives will be spent in prison. β
She has already recognized Yu Yin, a younger brother and sister, as a member of the future royal family, the future princess, how can anyone be insulted casually?
Or is it insulting with that kind of bad language?
What happened in Lanjing Manor, Yuan Fatzi had already informed her. What those women said, she also listened to Yuan Fatzi's narration. It was also because of this incident that she came back from the event early.
For the glory of the royal family, Ling Lanxin values it more than Ling Zhou.
In Ling Lanxin's view, the honor of the royal family is greater than herself.
If the closest relatives are the first in her heart, the royal glory is the second.
"Thank you, Sister Lan Xin. β
Yu Yin thanked.
No matter what, Ling Lanxin is also for herself. Although she felt that Ling Lanxin had done something too much, she didn't say anything. The wretched will have something to hate.
Those so-called classmates, the hatred is obvious.
Although it is pitiful now, it is going to face prison.
But she only sighed, and had no intention of interceding.
Because she knew that even if she interceded and let Ling Lanxin let them go, those so-called classmates would not be grateful to her, but would resent her.
Resenting themselves made them almost go to jail.
Yes, she saw these classmates very thoroughly.
"Family, say thank you?"
Ling Lanxin smiled, took Yu Yin's hand, and said, "Let's go, mother is already waiting for us." β
Ling Zhou and Yu Yin nodded and followed towards the main hall restaurant.
When they came to the main hall, their mother Liang Hui was already waiting for them.
"Sit down. β
Looking at the son, daughter, and Yu Yin, Liang Hui smiled kindly.
"Queen Xie. β
Yuyin saluted.
She is not engaged to Ling Zhou yet, and there should be rules.
Liang Hui nodded, "Sit down." β
"Yes. β
Yu Yin nodded and sat down with Ling Zhou.
After sitting down, Liang Hui looked at Yu Yin.
Yu Yin lowered his head, not knowing why Liang Hui looked at him like this.
"Xiao Zhou, Yu Yin, Your Majesty has decided, you are engaged on New Year's Day this year, what do you think?"
Liang Hui said suddenly.
Her words made several people present stunned.
Even Ling Lanxin was stunned for a moment.
Ling Lanxin knew that her parents had agreed to the matter of her younger brother and Yu Yin and Qiao Yu, but it was not certain when they would get engaged or when they would get married.
It is estimated that it will drag on for a long time.
After all, the marriage of a prince is not a trivial matter.
It will attract the attention of the whole world.
I just didn't expect it to be so fast.
New Yearβs Day.
It's November, and there's only 2 months left until New Year's Day.
That's too fast, isn't it?
"Xiaozhou's marriage should have been engaged last year. Before you know it, it's been dragging on for almost two years. Now that your relationship has been decided, it's time for the marriage to be decided. Of course, if you don't want to, forget it. Our family has never forced our children to get married. Lan Xin, you will be the same in the future. β
Liang Hui smiled kindly.
At the end, she looked at her daughter.
What her daughter thinks about every day, she naturally knows.
When Ling Lan heard this, her face was much more relaxed.
"Naturally. β
Ling Zhou glanced at Yu Yin and said with a smile.
Yu Yin lowered his head, and also said 'um', and his face turned a little redder.
"Mother, where is Qiao Yu?"
Ling Lanxin asked.
The younger brother's engagement is not only a matter of the younger brother and Yu Yin, but also a matter of the three of them.
Yu Yin also raised his head and looked at Liang Hui.
"Qiao Yu will return to Lanling at the end of the month. β
Liang Hui looked at Ling Zhou and Yu Yin and asked, "Are you sure you want to get engaged together?"
Hearing this, Ling Zhou looked at Yu Yin.
Yu Yin nodded without pause, "Queen, Princess Qiao Yu and we have discussed this matter, and we can get engaged together." β
"Hmm. β
When Liang Hui heard this, she laughed, and looked at Yu Yin more and more satisfied.
Strong ability, good character, general knowledge.
In addition to the background, everything is in line with the princess's candidate. As for origin, the royal family never cared about origin. Think back then, wasn't she also from a small wealthy family?
Compared to the current Yu family, it is not much stronger.
As for the appearance, although the aftersound is not as good as Qiao Yu, it is not bad.
In general, in the past, it was just a bit of temperament.
Dress up, cultivate, and that temperament will come out.
"Alright, let's dine. β
Liang Hui said.
Ling Zhou and the others nodded and began to eat formally.
After lunch, Ling Zhou accompanied Yu Yin back to the small courtyard and had a video call with Qiao Yu to discuss the engagement on New Year's Day.
"I'm still in Aslan, and I still have some things to deal with. I will travel to Lanling at the end of the month. I heard my father say that the three of us got engaged on New Year's Day, and it will be announced on December 1st. β
In the video, Qiao Yu said with a smile.
"Well, when the family is done, let's come as soon as possible. β
Ling Zhou said.
Qiao Yu nodded.
Then we chatted a few more words and ended the call.
β¦β¦
Kingdom of Aslam, royal palace.
In the princess's palace, Qiao Yu smiled and asked people to put away the video equipment.
"Sister, are you really willing to marry Prince Lingzhou with other women?"
Opposite Qiao Yu, a 15 or 6-year-old boy looked at Qiao Yu and asked seriously.
"Naturally. β
Qiao Yu leaned on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, and nodded with a smile.
After confirming the engagement, she felt as if she had put down a stone in her heart, both relaxed and happy.
"Really?"
The boy asked distrustfully.
"Nature is true, the aftermath is good. β
Qiao Yu said.
"Then I'll rest assured, I'm afraid that sister, you agreed to get engaged for me and the kingdom. β
The boy said with a sigh of relief.
Qiao Yu smiled when he heard this.
This young man is none other than her sixth brother, the sixth prince of Aslan.
"Sixth brother, don't think about it, I don't have the slightest grievance in this matter. β
Qiao Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "Yu Yin has a good personality, we get along very well, and I like her a lot." And she's very capable. It itself has made a great contribution to the Lanling royal family. In the future, I, Aslan, may need the help of Yu Yin. Therefore, I am willing to marry Ling Zhou with Yu Yin, both in public and private. β
When the young man heard this, he nodded, and immediately wondered: "Sister, you and your father both say that Yu Yin has outstanding ability, but what kind ......of ability does she have?"
When Qiao Yu heard this, he laughed, stood up, and said, "Brother, people can't be disgraced." As for what Yu Yin's specific abilities are, it is not yet possible to say. β
As she spoke, her face straightened slightly, looked at the sixth prince, and said, "Brother, you have to remember." If you want to compete with the eldest brother and the second brother, in terms of employing people in the future, you must not rely on feelings and appearances. When using a person, you have to think about whether that person is useful to you, where is it useful, how long can it be used, and how can loyalty ......?"
Listening to his sister's lecture, the young man sat up straight, and his face became serious.
"Okay, I won't say more. β
Qiao Yu shook his head, looked out the window, and said, "At the beginning, my father asked me to get engaged to Ling Zhou, and I was indeed quite resistant. But at that time, you should know, all I resisted was my father's decision to marry me without my knowledge. Today, almost two years have passed, and everything has been figured out. At this time, I proposed to let me be engaged to him, and I was naturally willing. Engaged with Yuyin, although I didn't think about it before, but in the chat again, after bringing it up, I found that I didn't resist in the slightest. Therefore, I am also sincere in getting engaged to Yuyin and Ling Zhou. So don't think about it too much. β
She seemed to be reminiscing about the past, with a smile on her face.
Immediately, she said: "Another point, if you want to compete with the eldest brother, your task is to consolidate your strength. I can't help you much, although I will give you some care in Lanling in the future, but the eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and you, you and I are all brothers, and I can't favor you too much, otherwise it will be bad for you. It's all up to you. To run a country, you can't rely on anyone, you can only rely on yourself. β
As she spoke, she sighed and said, "This may mean that our brother and sister chatted privately for the last time." In the next time, I am afraid that there will not be many opportunities for our sister and brother to meet. β
"I understand. β
The boy nodded, his face serious.
He has scheming and ambition.
At the age of 12, he fell in love with the seat in his father's study.
Although his sister's words made him a little disappointed, he could understand it.
After a few more words, he got up to say goodbye to his sister and left the princess's hall.
Watching his younger brother leave, Qiao Yu looked at the main hall and was a little stunned for a while.
β¦β¦
Lan Ling.
In the evening, Ling Zhou and Yu Yin left the palace and headed for a movie theater on the south bank.
The Red Pavilion Cinema is a cinema controlled by the royal family.
At first, it belonged to Ling Hai's name, and was later controlled by the royal family and became part of the royal family's assets.
Today's premiere of "Super Marines" was held at the Red Hall Cinema.
"Your Highness, Miss Yuyin. β
As soon as I arrived at the cinema, I saw Zhao Lanlan and others greet me.
"Let's go, go to the second floor. β
Ling Zhou said with a smile.
Zhao Lanlan contacted him before and said that he wanted to watch the premiere together, and he agreed.
Anyway, let's come together.
"Okay. β
Zhao Lanlan and Gu Jinbao nodded.
Summer is coming tonight, too.
Although the Xia family has now lost the position of the four major families, the Xia family's status in Lanling is still high. Coupled with the relationship between Xia and Ling Zhou, in this small group, in addition to Ling Zhou, Xia Xia and Zhao Lanlan are still the leaders.
Ling Zhou smiled, and the staff of the Red Pavilion Cinema took them through a special passage to a private room on the second floor of the cinema, which was a large glass curtain, and they could see everything below.
"It's hilarious. β
Standing in the VIP room, Zhao Lanlan glanced at Yu Yin on the side, a flash of envy flashed in her eyes, and she looked down and said.
Today, a lot of media, stars, came to the Red Pavilion Cinema.
Among them is the production team of Super Marines.
Shao Anmin, general manager of the animation division of Jiahang Group, attended and presided over the premiere ceremony.
The ceremony is simple, just need the creative team to walk the red carpet, appear in the public, and answer a few questions.
β¦β¦
In the VIP room, Ling Zhou drank coffee and watched the premiere ceremony below.
At this time, the outside world is also talking on the Internet.
"By the way, the movie "Super Marines" premieres tonight, do you want to watch it?"
"Of course I want to go, Prince Lan Ling's first animated movie!"
"Huh, this movie is really made by Prince Lan Ling?"
"Not really, but His Royal Highness is involved. It has been determined that the outline plot of the movie script, including the character settings in it, is provided by His Royal Highness the Prince. β
"Damn, really? Then I'm going to go and see it, I'm going to book a ticket right now, I'm going to the cinema." β
"Haha! I guess it's too late now. I'm in the cinema right now,, it's overcrowded! Damn, there's no more tickets. β
"Overcrowded? Isn't it? They're all going for the Super Marines, right?"
"Tonight's premiere, only "Super Marines", other movies have been released for many days, and those films are also tepid and have a very poor reputation, so everyone is naturally rushing to "Super Marines". β
"It's just an animated movie, so niche. β
"Hehe! Do you really think that overwhelming propaganda is fake?"
"Well, that's right. β
"Haha, let's not talk about it, the movie is about to start. β
ββ¦β¦β
There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and all the discussions were positive, although there were a few negatives, but they quickly disappeared. Now, no matter what Ling Zhou does, there are very few people in the outside world who are declining.
They have all been slapped in the face by Ling Zhou, and they are numb from the beating, and they don't want to be beaten again.
So except for some people who have a heart, most of them will not be idle and have nothing to do to go to Heiling Continent.
β¦β¦
Soon, the premiere began.
Lanling Capital, Red Hall Cinema.
In the private room, Ling Zhou looked at the movie screen, looked at the familiar streets and familiar scenes in the movie, and laughed.
