Chapter 9: Marriage by Divine Decree
Walking into the hall, as soon as Lin Qingwan raised her eyes, she saw a eunuch standing in the middle of the room, holding the holy decree in her hand, glanced at Lin Qingwan impatiently, and asked disdainfully: "You are Lin Qingwan, the second lady of General Lin's mansion?" ”
"Back to Father-in-law Liu's words, it is the little girl."
Lin Qing lowered his head and replied resignedly.
"Lin Qingwan takes the order! The emperor carried it, the emperor edict said, Lin Qingwan, the concubine of General Lin's mansion, was named the noble emperor since she was a child, dignified, virtuous and virtuous, and gave a special marriage to Prince Shuoyue Guorui as a concubine, and the wedding was held three days later. Before the wedding, do not move around, the palace gave 80 pieces of gold and silver jewelry, 120 silk and satin, admiration. ”
Gonggong Liu read out the holy decree loudly and sharply, and all the people in the hall knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Lin Qingwan knelt on the ground, respectfully stretched out her hands to take the holy decree, but thought in her heart, the speed of these people is really fast, they just designed to withdraw from the marriage yesterday, and the holy decree for marriage today will come down.
"Mrs. Lu, the holy decree has arrived, and our family will leave."
Gonggong Liu saluted the old lady and turned around to leave.
"Father-in-law Liu is tired, a little bit of heart, and I hope that Father-in-law Liu will accept it with a smile."
Mrs. Lu took out a brocade box from his cuff and handed it to Father-in-law Liu, who reversed the weight, nodded with satisfaction, and stuffed the brocade box into his sleeve.
"In this way, our family is better to be respectful, thank you to the old lady."
"Father-in-law Liu saw outside, and Steward Li sent Father-in-law Liu out of the house."
Mrs. Lu looked at Gonggong Liu with a smile on her face, and instructed Steward Li.
As soon as Gonggong Liu walked out of the door, Old Taijun Lu's face was pulled down, and he turned to look at Lin Qingwan with disdain: "Wan'er, you also see that the holy decree has come down, and you will marry to Shuoyue Kingdom in three days, when will you be willing to hand over this nine-turn divine jade?" ”
"Grandmother, don't worry, on the day I get married, the Nine Turns Divine Jade will be offered with both hands, if Grandmother has nothing else to do, Wan'er will retire first."
Lin Qingwan replied calmly, looked up at Mrs. Lu, and did not ignore the killing intent that flashed in Mrs. Lu's eyes.
If she didn't guess wrong, Mrs. Lu would definitely find a way to get rid of her when she got the Nine Turns Divine Jade, and she had to be fully prepared.
"Second Miss, what should I do? Or if I disguise myself as you, you can run away at night, right? If you marry the old, ugly and cruel prince of Shuoyue Kingdom, Second Miss, you will definitely die. ”
Red Sleeves was crying and crying, and at the same time anxiously cleaned up Lin Qingwan.
"Red Sleeves, why are you crying again, didn't you say that I don't like to see you cry the most? Don't worry, I, who died once, will definitely cherish my little life, and I won't let people take it away easily, besides, now that the entire Lin Mansion is surrounded by the Royal Forest Army, I'm worried that I will escape, do you really think we can escape? ”
Lin Qingwan saw the tearful appearance of the red sleeves packing for herself, and her heart was moved, this stupid girl, since she wanted to exchange her life for her freedom, she took out a white silk handkerchief to wipe away her tears for her, and patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"Second Miss, the old lady asked you to go to the main hall, saying that she was looking for you for something!"
His housekeeper's respectful voice came from outside the door, this housekeeper Li had been a little afraid of Lin Qingwan for some reason since he saw Lin Qingwan's appearance that night, so the tone of his speech at this time was also respectful.
What do I do in the main hall at night? Lin Qingwan paused, then pulled the coat on the wooden shelf next to the bed and put it on, opened the door, looked at Steward Li at the door and said, "Steward Li, let's go." ”
Steward Li was still a little stunned when he looked at Lin Qingwan's calm and unhurried appearance, after all, everyone knew that the prince of Shuoyue Kingdom was not only ugly with white hair, but also brutal and tortured to death the three princesses, and the second lady was obviously sent to death for the eldest lady when she got married, but she didn't seem to care.
Steward Li walked in front of Lin Qingwan to lead the way, and he was also full of emotion in his heart, the treatment of these two young ladies and the eldest lady was really different.
When she arrived at the main hall, Lin Qingwan's eyes fell on the dozens of large mahogany boxes in the main hall, and in front of these large wooden boxes stood dozens of guards with knives, and these guards looked dressed as Shuoyue people.
They were led by a man dressed in black with a jeweled brocade box.
"May I ask if you are the second lady of General Lin's mansion? I was ordered by my prince to send a dowry gift to Miss Lin Er, and this brocade box was ordered by my prince to be sure to hand it over to Miss Lin Er in person. ”
The black-clothed guard who took the lead respectfully handed the brocade box in his hand to Lin Qingwan, with a very polite attitude, and looked at Lin Qingwan inadvertently, only to see that she was only wearing a simple white gauze skirt, and only an ordinary bead hairpin was simply inserted on her head, but there was a powerful domineering spirit between her eyebrows.
It turns out that this is the girl that the master has taken a fancy, and it is really different.
Rajah? It turned out to be the bodyguard of Prince Shuoyue Guorui, but why did he send so many dowry gifts? Isn't it rumored that he is old, ugly, and inhumane, so he tortured three princesses to death one after another? It stands to reason that this kind of marriage for the benefit of the two countries, he has no reason to be so concerned, right?
What is his purpose in doing this? But I have to say that Mrs. Lu is really a good means, and she even dares to calculate the royal marriage.
Thinking like this, Lin Qingwan smiled more and more sincerely, the more ruthless their methods were, the easier her plan would be implemented, I just hope that some people will not cry and beg her at that time.
"The little girl is Lin Qingwan, and the little girl is grateful to Prince Rui for her love."
Lin Qingwan took the brocade box with both hands and replied with a smile.
"Wan'er, the emperor loves you very much, and now he will marry you to Prince Rui of Shuoyue Kingdom, Prince Rui is a dragon among people, and his status is noble, if you marry in the future, you must serve the prince well, and don't let down the emperor's thoughts."
Mrs. Lu said bitterly, and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her face without tears, and reached out to pat Lin Qingwan's shoulder.
However..... What kind of person is Prince Rui, no one in the entire Tianlan Kingdom knows, if it weren't for the emperor's holy decree, who would marry his daughter to death?
Lin Qingwan thought so in her heart, but said obediently: "Grandmother, don't be sad, Wan'er will definitely serve Prince Rui well, and she won't let grandmother worry." ”
Mrs. Lu looked at the well-behaved Lin Qingwan in front of her, thinking of Lin Qingwan who was rampant before, she was stunned for a moment, after all, she looked like she was going to eat people a few days ago, she was very impressed.
But I want to think about it, but it's over, and in a few days she will marry to the Shuoyue Kingdom, and even if she has any ideas, she can't change this matter.
Now just waiting for Lin Qingwan to marry Prince Rui and hand over the Nine Turns Divine Jade, her Yao'er will be able to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the crown princess, and then they will have the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the general's mansion.
Now that the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, the position of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still untouched, obviously the future throne must be His Royal Highness the Prince, take the ship of the future emperor, are you afraid that the General's Mansion will not have a good life in the future?
Thinking of these old ladies, there was a smile on her face.
The dowry had been delivered, and the people had seen it, and the black-clothed guards left the general's mansion with these people.
