Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 96 Ruyi

  Han Baocheng was stunned when he heard it. It took a while for him to react, and he stuttered a little: "Forget it, forget it? Mother, what does this mean?"

   "It means that there is no meeting at Tianyuan Temple. When I come back home, I will find you a noble girl with outstanding character."

  Han Baocheng is full of puzzlement: "Why is this? Didn't you say everything?"

  Mother Han looked complicated: "Today's chrysanthemum banquet in the palace is actually to choose a concubine for King Wei, and Miss Lin has chosen it."

   "What?" Han Baocheng was stunned.

  Mother Han sighed: "So you shouldn't have discussed marriage with the General's Mansion."

"Wait!" Han Baocheng's head was dazed, "The final selection of the princess has not yet been decided, right? Mother, you can't give up just because Miss Lin is among the candidates for the princess, it is not true that Miss Lin can be favored by King Wei. Is the big girl outstanding?"

  Mother Han looked at her son with very complicated eyes: "There is no candidate, so King Wei only chose Miss Lin."

  Han Baocheng was completely stunned.

  Mother Han patted Han Baocheng's arm and persuaded him earnestly: "Baocheng, you and Miss Lin have no relationship, so forget about the marriage proposal."

  Han Baocheng left the main courtyard with a blank face.

   There were birds flying in the high and blue sky, because they flew so high, they couldn't see what they were.

   He was also worried about not being able to get geese at this time of the year. It was a pity to go to the General’s Mansion to ask for relatives and replace them with geese. He even started thinking about asking someone to buy them in the south.

   Don't have to do anything now?

  Han Baocheng looked up at the empty sky, as if his heart was empty.

   Seeing him like this, the little servant couldn't bear it, and persuaded him, "Young Master, don't be sad first, you must obey your parents' orders for major marriage matters. If you want to come to the heavenly family, it is no exception. Maybe the emperor has another favorite candidate."

  Han Baocheng's eyes lit up and patted the little servant on the shoulder: "Go and find out, and report in time if there is any situation."

  In the palace of King Jing, the small county master Qi Qiong looked somber, as if he had been hit.

   "Qian'er, why does it seem like you've lost your soul when you come back from the palace?" Princess Jing asked worriedly.

   Princess Jing did not go to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet held in the palace.

   Looking at the concerned mother, Qi Qiong burst into tears for some reason: "Mother, Sister Chan is going to be Princess Wei."

   Princess Jing was shocked: "Really?"

   After listening to Qi Qiong's speech, Princess Jing was a little incredulous: "I didn't expect that the general's residence and the emperor would become in-laws."

   She glanced at her tearful daughter and wondered, "Then why are you crying?"

   Qi Qiong choked and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief: "I feel bad for Sister Chan."

   Princess Jing's face was a little strange, and she squeezed out a sentence: "You girl, you really help me and don't help my relatives."

   Do you dislike your cousin so much?

   "Mother, concubine, that's not how you use it."

   Princess Jing waved her hand in disbelief: "That's what it means anyway. Although it was unexpected for Miss Lin to become Princess Wei, it's not that bad, so don't feel bad for others."

   Qi Qiong frowned, still unable to stretch.

  Princess Jing was puzzled: "Qiong'er, when did you get along so well with the Lin sisters?"

   Qi Qiong twitched the corners of his mouth: "Probably there is a contrast."

   Think about Tang Wei, and think about her cousin, the Lin family sisters are really good everywhere.

   "What comparison?" Princess Jing didn't understand her daughter's words.

   "It's nothing. Concubine, I'm back to my room." Qi Qiong left the main courtyard and went straight to Qi Shuo's residence, where he met Changning, a servant girl halfway.

   "The princess, the prince is looking for you."

   "I'm looking for eldest brother." Qi Qiong nodded slightly and quickened his pace.

   When he arrived at Qi Shuo's residence, he saw his elder brother standing in the courtyard. Qi Qiong walked over quickly: "Brother, enjoy the chrysanthemum banquet today—"

   Qi Shuo interrupted her lightly: "I heard."

   "Big brother knows?" Qi Qiong sighed heavily, "It's really unexpected, Miss Lin is not among the people chosen by the two empresses at all. I always thought that Sister Chan and Ah Hao were safe."

   She pulled La Qishuo's sleeve: "Brother, what do you say if A Haoke is chosen?"

   Qi Shuo's eyes sank, and he asked, "Miss Lin, what's their reaction?"

   Qi Qiong was deeply impressed by the scene: "Mrs. Lin seemed to want to refuse on the spot, but was stopped by Sister Chan."

   "Where's Miss Lin?"

   Qi Qiong gave his brother a deep look.

   I'm afraid that the only thing that big brother cares about is Ah Hao's idea.

   "Ahao has no expression, can't see what's in his heart."

   Qi Shuo was silent for a moment, and asked Qi Qiong: "You ask the second lady Lin to come to the palace to sit down, and I will have a few words with her."

   Qi Qiong agreed immediately.

  Lin Hao received a letter from the little princess asking her to play, and after a little thought, he went to the appointment.

   The little princess invited her over at this time, it must have something to do with her sister being selected by the Wei king.

   Unexpectedly, it was Qi Shuo who was waiting for her.

   Qi Shuo is very calm: "I have something to say to Miss Lin Er, so I asked my sister to invite you. Don't be surprised if it's abrupt."

   Lin Hao's mouth twitched slightly.

   Seeing Prince Jing's polite and courteous appearance, she felt uneasy.

   is too good at pretending.

  Qi Qiong is very interesting: "Brother, hello, let's talk, I'll go to the small kitchen to see if the dim sum is ready."

   As soon as Qi Qiong left, Qi Shuo put away his smile: "I heard about Sister Ling, do you need help?"

   "Help?" Lin Hao was a little surprised, and even more curious, "How does the prince plan to help?"

   "If Sister Ling is unwilling, I can think of a way, maybe I can make King Wei change his mind."

  A discerning person knows that Lin Chan is not the favorite candidate of the royal family. As long as King Wei changes his mind, the marriage will naturally fail.

  Lin Hao became more and more curious, and his eyelashes moved slightly: "How can I make King Wei change his mind?"

   Qi Shuo smiled: "You talk about your thoughts first."

  Lin Hao weighed it a little, and told the truth: "Grandmother and mother feel wronged by the eldest sister, but the eldest sister said that she has no ill feelings towards King Wei, and does not want the family to make trouble to get rid of this marriage."

"how about you?"

"I?"

   "Well, what do you think?" Qi Shuo asked seriously.

   All he cares about is the mood of the person in front of him.

   There seemed to be light in the boy's eyes, which made Lin Hao unconsciously look away.

   "This is the eldest sister's marriage, and I naturally put the eldest sister's thoughts first."

   "Then you can ask Sister Ling what she thinks. How can she choose without causing trouble to the General's Mansion?"

  Lin Hao's eyes widened slightly: "Do you really have a solution?"

   Qi Shuo smiled: "Could I lie to you?"

  Lin Hao pulled the corner of his lips.

   didn't lie too much, it always made her feel weak, so she turned her head and wiped Fang Chengji's neck.

   "Thank you, Shizi, I'll ask eldest sister again."

  Lin Hao returned to the General's Mansion and went straight to Jiaoyueju.

  Lin Chan listened to the silence for a long time, took Lin Hao's hand and said earnestly: "Second sister don't have to worry about me, I really think it's good to marry King Wei."

  Become Princess Wei, it is not so easy for the prince to beat his sister.

  My grandmother is getting old, and my mother is not good to others, so it is time for her to shelter the family from the wind and rain.

   Seeing that Lin Chan was not insincere, Lin Hao sent a message to Qi Shuo.

   The next day, the General's House received the Yu Ruyi from the emperor, and countless people who were staring at it knew it immediately.
