Chapter 208
Lin Jingwan came back in such a state of distress, and attracted the attention of the audience as soon as she appeared. The queen was even more surprised when she saw her like this, and quickly stepped forward to hold Lin Jingwan's hand, "Oh, what's wrong? How did you make it like this? The clothes are all soaked."

Hearing the queen's question, Lin Jingwan glanced at the crown prince sitting on the side, and finally said a little bit aggrieved: "Thank you for your concern, Madam, it was the minister who raised her up by herself. I messed up my feet and made it like this, which spoiled the interest of the empress, and I beg the empress to forgive me."

"Oh, don't worry about these vain gifts at this time, Madam Liu, quickly send a soft sedan chair and send him to the palace, where he can change into clean clothes." The queen grabbed the person who wanted to salute and apologize , while commanding to the people around him.

"Yes."

Seeing the soft sedan coming, Lin Jingwan didn't refuse, sat on it, and followed Madam Liu to the queen's bedroom.

When she changed her clothes, she found that the queen had returned, and His Royal Highness the crown prince was also here.

Seeing the person coming out, the queen ordered the imperial physician who had been waiting for a long time, "Emperor physician, quickly go and show Miss Lin if her feet are okay."

After the diagnosis, it was found that it was just an ordinary sprain. Lin Jingwan took a few bottles of Jinchuang medicine given by the queen, "Thank you for the reward, empress, empress, it's getting late, and the minister should go back, otherwise father should be in a hurry."

The queen naturally had no objection to this, she nodded and let people leave.

As a result, just a few steps after Lin Jingwan walked out, the prince who had been silent at the side suddenly stood up, "Mother, Miss Lin was injured in the palace, my son, please send her back."

The queen frowned subconsciously when she heard this. Lin Jingwan was not her favorite candidate for the crown princess, so of course she didn't want her son to have too much contact with Lin Jingwan, but she didn't know how to speak for a while.

In the end, before the queen could figure out how to speak, Lin Jingwan on the other side spoke, "The courtier has already received the grace of the empress, and can go out of the palace in a soft sedan chair, and there are maids by her side, so there is really no need to bother the prince."

The queen was very satisfied with Lin Jingwan's understanding of current affairs, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, and Jingwan is a girl who has not left the cabinet. If you send someone back like this, it will inevitably attract criticism."

But the crown prince has made up his mind, "Mother, Miss Lin was injured at the banquet you held. If you let people go back like this, I'm afraid outsiders will speculate that you don't want to see Miss Lin, so it's better for me to send you back."

When the Queen heard this, she finally nodded in agreement.

On the carriage, the prince looked at Lin Jingwan who was huddled in the corner of the carriage and said nothing, and asked, "Why doesn't Miss Lin speak? Is she afraid of being alone?"

Lin Jingwan looked at the interest in the prince's eyes, and her tone was not very good, "The courtier's status is low, and she dare not talk to the prince."

Seeing how she suppressed her dissatisfaction but couldn't help her eccentricity, the prince found it even more interesting, "I don't mind, you can talk."

"No need, my servant is a little tired today and wants to rest." Without waiting for the prince to reply, she leaned on the maid and began to close her eyes to rest.

It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive at Lin's mansion. The prince originally wanted to call for someone, but as soon as the carriage stopped, Lin Jingwan opened her eyes and got out of the carriage with the help of a maid.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for sending my daughter back. My father is not free today, and my daughter is feeling unwell, so I will not invite Your Highness in." Before the prince got off the carriage, Lin Jingwan preempted the attack.

The prince raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but he didn't force it, "Okay, then I'll go first." After speaking, he put down the curtain of the carriage and let someone drive the carriage away.

When the carriage disappeared around the corner, the maid on the side asked puzzledly: "Miss, what a great opportunity the crown prince will send you back in person, why don't you take advantage of the opportunity to invite someone in and have a chat with His Highness the crown prince?" ah."

As soon as he finished speaking, he met Lin Jingwan's sharp eyes, and immediately became excited, and quickly pleaded guilty, "Miss, forgive me, it's the servant who talked too much, and the lady naturally has her own considerations."

Hearing this, Lin Jingwan's face softened a little, she turned and entered the house, but when she returned to her room, Lin Su rushed over upon hearing the news.

Seeing her daughter's feet on the couch, she didn't react at all, and impatiently dismissed the maid in the room, then looked at Lin Jingwan, her brows were tightly frowned, and her tone contained obvious blame, "I heard that the prince Sending you back personally, but you let the prince go back directly, is this your way of hospitality? There is no courtesy!"

Lin Jingwan knew very well that her father seemed to be accusing her of not knowing etiquette, but he was actually complaining that she had not invited the prince into Lin's residence, and had lost this opportunity to be close to the prince for nothing.

"Father, don't worry, my daughter knows what she is doing." There were only the father and daughter in the room, and Lin Jingwan's ambition was directly exposed, "Don't worry, the position of the crown princess will definitely be mine in the end!"

Lin Su looked at his daughter and knew that she was a planner, so he didn't say anything more, but finally told him when he left: "Before the matter is settled, you'd better be careful. Don't be careless. Don't be careless. At that time, the bamboo basket will be empty, and it will be cheaper for others!"

"Yes, father, my daughter understands." Lin Jingwan humbly accepted her father's instruction.

Sure enough, on the day of the winter solstice, news spread from the palace that the prince personally asked His Majesty to marry Lin Jingwan, the daughter of Lin Su, as the prince concubine.

The queen was so angry that she dropped several sets of tea sets in her own palace and still felt puzzled, "It's crazy! What's so good about that Lin Jingwan? At that time, my palace shouldn't have agreed to the prince to send someone back. Bewildered!"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, this matter is only His Highness the Crown Prince's idea at the moment. His Majesty will definitely come over to discuss with you after knowing about it. Don't worry." Nanny Liu hurriedly comforted her.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Jing looked at the prince kneeling in front of him, and asked seriously: "Prince, are you sure you want to marry Miss Lin?"

"Yes, Father, I am pleased with Miss Lin's family, I want to marry her as my son's concubine, please allow me!" After finishing speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

Emperor Jing pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed to the prince's request, "Well, your mother told me before that the candidate for the prince concubine this time does not ask for the other party's status, but for your liking, since you belong to Miss Lin's family , I won't say anything more, I will issue an order later, and I will point out Miss Lin to you as the princess."

The prince who originally thought that he would have to kneel down for a long time to get his father's consent heard this, and quickly thanked him, "I thank my father."

Emperor Jing waved his hand when he heard the words, "Go and kowtow to your mother to thank you. This is what she asked me for you before."

"Yes, my son knows."

Emperor Jing looked at the prince who left with the imperial decree, and a smile flashed in his eyes. This marriage is really the best of both worlds...
