Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 152 Sorry, I just got engaged
After the prince said this, he realized belatedly that something was wrong, but he didn't know what happened at that moment, and he blurted out these words.
The Duke of Zhenguo was also dumbfounded and stood there looking at his daughter in bewilderment.
Which song is this from?
No wonder the prince, who usually lives in seclusion, came to visit without warning during the New Year. It turns out he came prepared!
But when did the two of them fall in love? Was it at the last official banquet?
This shouldn't be the case. I didn't hear this girl say a word since I came back. Based on what I, her father, know about her, she is not someone who can hide things at all!
Among all the people present, Shen Nanqiao had the fastest reaction.
"Congratulations to the Duke of Zhenguo! Originally, the Emperor said he would discuss this matter with you personally, but you see, the Crown Prince got there first and took the lead."
The Duke of Zhenguo accepted the congratulations in a daze.
He had been fighting in wars for many years and had never experienced such a thing. He was immediately at a loss.
The prince saw that what he had said was out and there was no way to take it back, so he simply straightened his back.
"That day, the Emperor and the Empress both took a liking to your daughter, but due to the busy schedule of the first month of the year, the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites were both busy, so they delayed in informing the Duke of Zhenguo." He cleared his throat, "There is no need to hire an official matchmaker in the future."
My goodness, after saying this, who would dare to continue inviting? Is there anyone who dares to snatch the person from the prince?
The Duke of Zhenguo wiped the sweat from his forehead and subconsciously looked at the top of the prince's head, but it didn't look like there was any green light shining on it.
But the situation has changed too quickly, hasn't it? Originally I was worried that the girl wouldn't be able to get married, but how come she suddenly became the future crown princess?
Even if you make a wish in a temple, it won't be so effective, right? Could it be that the child's mother is in heaven?
His mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to do, but Lin Jingshu spoke first.
"Marry me? Have you thought about it? I'm not the capable mistress who takes care of the housework and the backyard."
Although she didn't know why the prince had such a brilliant idea, she was a woman with great ambitions and had no plans to get married early.
The prince was in a dilemma at the moment. The girl clearly wanted to go to the battlefield, but by doing this, he ended up strangling the potential of a female general in the cradle.
He replied awkwardly.
"My Crown Princess doesn't have to take care of household chores and manage the harem."
This is nonsense. When you ascend the throne in the future, you will have to recruit many people into your harem. As the future queen, how can you not know how to control people?
Shen Nanqiao was just thinking about what to say to help him cover up his lie when he saw the prince suddenly take action, pull Lin Jingshu aside, and whisper to her.
The Duke of Zhenguo was becoming more and more at a loss. When did his daughter become so close to the prince?
Shen Nanqiao watched their noses and his heart, and although he really wanted to go over and listen to what the two were saying, he still held back.
"Young people should have their own words to say. Why don't we wait over there for a while?"
The Duke of Zhenguo was slow-witted at the moment, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Nanqiao's move of taking the initiative, so the three of them went to the small warm room at the back.
"I'll go and send the official matchmaker off." The Duke of Zhenguo couldn't stand seeing his daughter being so affectionate with others, so he made an excuse and left.
As soon as the Duke of Zhenguo left the house, Shen Nanqiao rushed to the door. From there he could just see two people whispering outside, but he couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.
In fact, with Lin Jingshu's skills, it would have been easy for her to dodge the prince's pull just now, but curiosity drove her not to do it, but she walked aside instead.
"Do you still want to lead troops into battle?"
Lin Jingshu's eyes lit up; that had always been her dream.
The prince said in a low voice with a different kind of smile on his lips.
"I have a way to save you from the fate of being introduced as a matchmaker by the Duke of Zhenguo."
These words hit the nail on the head, and Lin Jingshu moved closer to the other person like a brother, almost hugging the other's neck.
"Just tell me."
"Accepting this marriage can help you get rid of all worries." The prince did not wait for Lin Jingshu to speak, "I also need someone to take on the position of the crown princess."
Their eyes met, and Lin Jingshu put away her contemptuous look. It turned out that the prince was smarter than she thought.
"You can do whatever you want to do. The status of the Crown Princess will allow you to do it without any obstacles." The Crown Prince continued to push forward, "How about it? Don't you want to consider it?"
Lin Jingshu's expression changed slightly, and she looked over meaningfully.
"What are the conditions, Your Highness? No merit, no reward. You don't just want to help me, do you? There are so many noble ladies, why do you have to go?"
The prince took off the mask he had worn in front of outsiders.
"I told you, I need a girl who is not from the Queen Mother's camp to take the position of Crown Princess first."
Lin Jingshu was not stupid either, and she immediately understood most of what was said.
"You mean, we should get engaged first but not get married?"
The prince nodded.
"Right now, the Emperor and the Queen Mother are at odds over the selection of the Crown Princess. Miss Lin's identity is acceptable to both sides, so there is a reason why I asked you to be the shield."
Lin Jingshu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but the prince's conditions left her with no way to refute.
As she was thinking about it, she heard someone calling her from afar.
"Miss Lin, why did you leave in the middle of a conversation?" She turned around subconsciously and saw the Minister running over. "I haven't finished telling you how to teach a barking dog to sit or lie down."
Lin Jingshu's expression froze visibly, and she turned around and stretched out her hand to the prince.
"I agree to this deal. Deal."
The prince reached out and took her hand, winking slyly: "Leave it to me."
The Minister's son ran over and saw that there was a boy standing next to Lin Jingshu. The prince had been living in seclusion for many years and he had never seen the boy. He immediately became angry.
"Where did you come from, you wild boy? Let go of Miss Lin's hand quickly."
Upon hearing this, the prince held his fist even tighter.
"You are a man from outside the family. When you see a female relative, instead of avoiding her, you yell at her. How can that be possible?" He saw that the other party could not respond, so he continued, "Is this how Minister Zhu taught his son? I'll ask for your advice some other day."
Minister Zhu was a little unsure about the identity of the crown prince, but as a real man, he would rather lose the battle than the fight.
"You are also a stranger, why don't you avoid her? And you flirt with her, how shameless!"
The prince looked leisurely at the man in front of him who was half a head taller than him, and chuckled, deliberately lengthening the sound.
"Because...I'm Miss Lin's fiancé!"
Minister Zhu was horrified. Fiancé? How dare the official media match him?
No, this guy must be lying!
"You're talking nonsense. When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"
The prince shrugged.
"It's normal that you don't know, because I just asked her for a marriage."
Minister Zhu was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"Where did you come from, you idiot? What nonsense! How can someone get engaged just by saying so? Just wait, I'll call the Duke of Zhenguo and kick you out right away."
The moment Shen Nanqiao saw Minister Zhu come out, she stood up and walked to the door to eavesdrop. This conversation made her laugh so hard that her stomach hurt.
Until she heard that the silly boy was going to ask for the Duke of Zhenguo, adhering to the principle of doing one good deed a day, she felt that she had to show up at this time.
