The first daughter is not bad, the prince does not love

Chapter 552 The Preference
"You are right. It is because of my humble background that I am what I am now. I am different from you princesses who were born with a golden spoon in your mouth. I was abandoned by my father when I was still a baby."

"I survived because I met kind-hearted adoptive parents."

"But the Yan family is not rich. It is a kind of luck to be able to eat enough with simple tea and light food. I have never dared to ask for anything. I can get new clothes sewn by my mother during the New Year. I've been happy for a long time."

"My shoes are going to be worn out, and I will continue to wear them with patches. I started practicing calligraphy and piano at a very young age. My hands are full of calluses. Sometimes I feel sorry for my mother's hard work, so I secretly help her do it together." , Washing and cooking, I can do everything, I can even go to the mountains to cut firewood and go to the fields to plant rice seedlings.”

"Sometimes in times of calamity, the life of the villagers is difficult. My father is in a private school with a meager amount of money to support the family, so we can only tighten our belts, eat hungry and eat full. .”

"But these are nothing, because the family is together and eating bran swallowed vegetables is also very happy. I even think that those 15 years of hard life were the happiest time in my life."

"I was taken back to the Lin family, and only then did I know what real suffering is. It is my home, but I am out of tune with it. My father has never looked at me directly. My stepmother treats me well on the surface, but behind the scenes she is full of tricks. To put me to death, when I accompanied me back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, I was almost burned to death in the temple dedicated to my ancestors."

"You've all heard about what happened later, being stabbed by King Fu's sword, framed by stepmother, time and time again, if it wasn't for fate, he would have died a long time ago."

When Lin Siran said this, he smiled again.

"Do you feel that you are suffering because of love?"

"I was slandered as a calamity, and I was almost given a glass of poisoned wine by His Majesty. My life was hanging by a thread, but my father came to make things worse and asked His Majesty to execute me to protect myself. What if it was you?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you that Mr. Lu is indeed very good to me. I also wanted to marry him very much at one time, thinking that he was my good match. How I wish he would pull me out of this quagmire so that I could get out of it." sea ​​of ​​bitterness."

"But the Lu family's ten thousand taels of gold, like a basin of cold water, made me wake up completely. In their eyes, my life is nothing more than ten thousand taels of gold at most."

"My feelings are not worth mentioning. In the eyes of you people, I'm afraid it's the same. No one really cares about my efforts, and it's impossible to empathize with my pain."

"Master Lu can't be my salvation, that's why I told Princess Ningrong that I have nothing to do with him anymore, but you guys want to drag me into this farce, embarrassing me time and time again, making me feel to the difference between me and you."

"I just want to live a good life. Survival is my top priority. I don't have time to accompany you noble princesses to solve emotional problems. Love is an incomparably luxurious thing to me. I don't deserve it. Thank you!"

After Lin Siran finished speaking, she sat down without saying a word.

Assuming that today she just entered the palace to watch the excitement, she has finished what she should say, and the rest, whatever these two think.

Li Fu and Shushen looked at each other, embarrassed to say anything else.

But at this time, the eunuch's announcement sounded outside, saying that Lu Jin is coming.

The faces of Li Fu and Shushen were immediately filled with anticipation and excitement.

They almost wanted to stick their ears out, so they could hear clearly what His Majesty and Lu Jinnian had said.

Lin Siran looked at them with envy.

Only children who are favored can be so confident, no matter what troubles they make outside or how many jokes they make, there will always be parents behind them.

When the matter came to His Majesty, His Majesty did not blame him, but took time out to help them resolve their troubles and defuse the conflict.

If it's her... Oh, no, it's impossible for her to act so recklessly and embarrass herself.

The emperor and Lu Jinnian exchanged a few words before getting back to business.

"Master Lu, I invited you here today for one thing, and you should think carefully about it."

The atmosphere also slowly became dignified.

"My niece Princess Ningrong and my cousin Princess Shushen are both in love with you. It's hard for me to decide which one I want to marry you, so I have to make your own choice."

"Shushen has waited for you for so many years, turning herself into an old girl. Prince Lian is just such a daughter, and I am very worried. It is no secret that she is infatuated with you. What do you think?"

"As for Afu, I believe you know in your heart that she has silently paid a lot for you over the years, and it's the kind of dedication that doesn't ask for anything in return. You can't just pretend to be stupid forever, right?"

The emperor threw the problem to Lu Jinnian.

Lu Jinnian didn't dare to lift it up, but just put his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to talk about marriage yet. I just have good legs and feet, and I entered the Imperial Academy again. I want to start a career first and then get married."

"Hey... that's not going to work. You're not too young when you're a male college student. It's right to start a family first and then a career. If you don't have a good family, how can you serve the country with peace of mind?"

The emperor rejected Lu Jinnian's excuses.

"But Your Majesty..." Lu Jinnian's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he knew that it was not a good thing that His Majesty invited him into the palace today.

"Don't worry, I asked you to come to make a choice, not to let you choose no one." The emperor made his words clear and did not give Lu Jinnian a chance to go around in circles.

Lu Jinnian was deeply embarrassed.

"Or, do you have other ideas? I remember the last time, you said that you have something to belong to, but I don't know who it is? This time there is no one else, just you and me, can you say it boldly?"

The emperor looked at Lu Jinnian with a kind smile, as if he was just an ordinary elder.

Lu Jinnian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, in fact, I have already told His Majesty what I want to do, but it's just because of my father's face, I dare not do anything wrong."

"Now your father is not here, so you might as well speak up."

"The subject in my heart belongs to Miss Lin, the head of Wencheng County." Lu Jinnian said with a smile, his eyes were full of affection and the light shone brightly.

Lin Siran's heart skipped a beat.

Shushen and Li Fu looked at her together, Shushen was full of resentment, but Li Fu was just sad.

The emperor pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and asked, "Then why didn't you come to the Lin family to propose marriage earlier? A man should make a quick decision, and not hesitate and hesitate."

"This is indeed my fault. I used to have disabled legs, bad behavior, and a deep sense of inferiority. So I always think about either making some achievements, or being able to stand up, so that I can propose a marriage in a dignified manner, and be worthy of her." Such a fine woman."

"But I didn't expect that Chen's leg was healed, and it was her credit, but... but without Chen's knowledge, Chen's stepmother humiliated County Lord Wencheng and made her lose face, so she didn't want to talk to Chen anymore. "

When Lu Jinnian said this, he felt really wronged and helpless.
