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

Chapter 554 Must Choose One

"Is Mr. Lu a little whimsical?" The emperor couldn't help showing a touch of ridicule, "You can't have all the good things in the world by yourself."

"I don't understand what His Majesty means." Lu Jinnian was displeased, but he still had to be polite when facing the emperor.

"I love Lin Siran very much in my heart, and treat her like my daughter. That's why I made her Mr. Qingxuan's adoptive daughter, and the sixth princess followed her all day long. My sister came here. My sister went, I don't allow others to underestimate her, including your Lu family."

"I have never underestimated her. In my heart, she is extremely important."

Lu Jinnian tried to defend himself.

"If she is really important in your heart, then why do you not want to let it go?" The emperor asked, "Maybe it is because your father has already chosen a better person for you in his heart, and in his opinion is a better person." ,right?"

"You are neither willing to abandon the family business for Miss Lin, nor to disobey your parents for her, let alone allow your parents to readily accept her and respect her. What kind of value is that? Why don't you just let go and make a quick decision? , so as not to continue to give her a hopeless thought."

The emperor looked at Lu Jinnian.

"Don't blame me for saying these things. Now there are only two roads in front of you. You have to choose the same one. You can choose Shushen and Afu as you like, but if you want to marry Lin girl, you can only marry her in the Lu family and Between her, choose one."

The emperor's attitude also became firm, not as pleasant as it was at the beginning.

Lu Jinnian was momentarily at a loss.

"What? It's hard to choose?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, I'm really terrified. I don't know why Your Majesty has to choose between the two?" Lu Jinnian asked anxiously, "Could it be that His Majesty doesn't want his ministers to inherit his father's business, or does he not want any successors in the Lu family?"

"Bold!" The emperor yelled angrily, "You dare to speak wild words? Why didn't I want your Lu family to have successors?"

"I'm dead!" Lu Jinnian knelt down.

"Millions of deaths? I think your death is enough!" The emperor was furious.

The girls inside were so frightened that they froze.

The three looked at each other, Shushen and Li Fu couldn't help standing up, planning to go out.

But was stopped by the old eunuch who was guarding the house and shook his head at them.

Li Fu and Shushen were both anxious.

Lin Siran was very calm, she knew that the emperor was just trying to scare Lu Jinnian, and it was impossible for him to die for such a trivial matter.

The eldest son of the Lu family cannot be killed by the emperor with a word, unless he has really committed an unforgivable crime.

Sure enough, the emperor calmed down for a while, and continued: "I am definitely not an unreasonable person. It is not an option to let the three girls fight for you. It is also a joke to say it. Today, I deliberately smoked you." When the time comes, we will settle your matter no matter what, if you don't get married, they will definitely continue to quarrel."

"Afu and Shushen are both relatives of the imperial family, and no one will wrong you. Although Lin Yatou is not a royal family, she is Qingxuan's adopted daughter. The county head that I personally appointed will not wrong you, so You have to think about who you choose as your wife."

"Your Majesty!" Lu Jinnian didn't expect that the emperor would force him to make a choice now.

"If you don't choose, then I will have to mess up the mandarin ducks and propose a marriage for you." The emperor added.

These words were quite threatening to Lu Jinnian.

"I...I don't want to add trouble to Your Majesty because of my marriage. Please let Your Majesty let me take care of it for a while." Lu Jinnian was really embarrassed.

"Isn't what I said clear enough?" the emperor asked, "I'm still giving you a choice now. If you don't choose today, the imperial decree of marriage will come to your house tomorrow, and you won't be allowed to refuse."

Lu Jinnian asked, "Your Majesty, how do you choose your ministers?"

"If you choose Lin Siran, you will leave the Lu family, and you can even leave the capital to live your own happy life. If you choose Shushen and Afu, then everything is up to you." The emperor repeated.

Lu Jinnian smiled wryly, and said, "I understand what your majesty means, but your majesty just doesn't want my minister to marry County Lord Wencheng."

He suddenly thought of the rumor that Lin Siran looked like the girl His Majesty admired many years ago.

Lu Xiang had also reminded him of this a long time ago, telling him not to have delusional thoughts, let alone provoke Lin Siran.

That's someone he can't afford.

At this moment, Lu Xiang's voice begging to see him came from outside.

The emperor did not stop Lu Xiang from coming in.

"I see Your Majesty!" Lu Xiang hurried all the way, knelt on the ground, sweating, it can be seen that he had a hard time on the way to the palace.

The emperor looked at him and asked with a smile: "Lu Xiang has worked hard, and I didn't do anything to your son. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I... I am afraid. I am not afraid of what your Majesty will do to the dog, but because the dog is confused. I am afraid that he will be indiscreet and make Your Majesty angry." Lu Xiang glanced at Lu Jinnian, quite reproachfully.

The emperor shook his head and said: "That's not true. Lu Aiqing was too worried. I just thought that Mr. Lu is not too young. It's time to make a marriage for him. Isn't this also Lu Xiang's wish?"

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, I am so grateful." Lu Xiang hurriedly responded, "I don't know, Your Majesty, which girl is it that you intend to speak for Gouzi?"

"I asked him to choose, Shushen, Afu, and... Lin Siran." The emperor deliberately emphasized the words Lin Siran.

Lu Xiang immediately looked at Lu Jinnian.

Lu Jinnian didn't look at Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiangdao: "Your Majesty, I have already discussed with Jin Nian, and I plan to go to Princess Huayang's mansion to propose marriage at a certain date."

"Oh?" The emperor was slightly surprised, "Why didn't Mr. Lu mention it to me?"

Lu Xiang glanced at Lu Jinnian before explaining: "Jinnian must have been in a difficult situation for a while. Princess Ningrong is a lady with a heart and a noble background, and is deeply favored by His Majesty and the Princess. It is a good thing that Jinnian can marry her. Jinnian's blessing is also our Lu family's blessing."

Li Fu was inside, her face was flushed, and she looked shy, which was a bit touching.

Shushen also blushed with anger and her neck was thick, so she didn't look so good.

Only Lin Siran still looked like an ancient well without waves. If she hadn't opened her eyes, she would have thought she was asleep.

"Master Lu, do you think so?" the emperor asked.

Lu Jinnian pursed his lips tightly.

"Jin Nian, have you forgotten what your father told you?" Lu Xiang asked through gritted teeth.

Lu Jinnian gritted his teeth and shouted, "Father...I..."

"Jin Nian!" Lu Xiang's eyes were red, and his wrinkled face was full of pain.

"I didn't ask you anything for my father. In the past, whatever you wanted, my father relied on you. My father knew that I was sorry for you and caused you to suffer a lot of grievances and injuries, but didn't my father feel heartbroken?"

The wrinkles on Lu Xiang's face trembled.

"Yes, Father!" Lu Jinnian closed his eyes slightly, and lowered his head as if he finally gave up struggling.

"Your Majesty, the minister has made a decision!"

Lu Jinnian raised his head again and looked at the emperor's face without any fluctuation in his eyes, like a dead well.

"I decided to obey my father's order and choose a day to go to Princess Huayang's mansion to propose marriage!"

Once the final decision is made, there is no room for change.
