The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Five years passed in a flash. As Emperor Kangxi grew older, many changes took place in the court. The crown prince was deposed twice, the eldest prince withdrew, and the party of the eighth prince was secretly making a big move. The situation in the court became increasingly precarious, and a storm was about to come.

But none of them involve the father and daughter in the Lin Mansion.

Different from the green little girl at the beginning, Lin Daiyu at this moment has her smooth black hair neatly tied into a bun, adorned with one or two emerald magnolia-shaped hairpins. Although her fair and attractive face is not made up, she is already beautiful and refined enough, and her eyes as calm and cool as water are enough to attract anyone's attention.

At this moment, this indifferent little girl ran to a man with a beautifully packaged box in her hand, looking like she was looking for treasure.

Compared to the beauty of the little girl, the man she is chasing has a beauty that is beyond description. Perhaps it is because his face is too dreamy to be believed, and just the slightest movement can give people an indescribable huge impact.

"Daddy, look at the new lotus seed cake I made." The pretty girl's actions were intimate, and it was obvious that she had a very good relationship with the man.

Of course this is also true.

The man was Qingyin. Qingyin had not changed much in the past five years. The only thing that changed was that Lin Daiyu had become taller.

Over the years, Lin Daiyu has left the Jia Mansion and has gained her own confidence. She also likes to try things she likes. Cooking is one of her favorite things. With the guidance of the chef in the mansion, Lin Daiyu does have some talent and has created some innovative delicacies.

Today's lotus seed cake was also a dish. The girl tasted it and thought it was delicious, so she handed it to Qingyin like she was presenting a treasure.

Looking at the little girl holding the food box with an expectant look on her face, Qingyin felt very satisfied. This was a little girl he had raised with great difficulty, so how could he refuse such a filial girl?

The fresh lotus seed cake has a light green appearance and is slightly steaming. A light bite will give you the aroma of the lotus seeds, which is sweet and not greasy.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Looking at the little girl who became happy because of a word, Qingyin smiled gently.

"Prince Baotai, what do you want to do, Pin'er?" Thinking of the suggestions that Prince Yu had repeatedly given him, Qingyin raised his eyebrows slightly and began to tease the blushing girl below.

The girl a few years ago felt that it was not an illusion. The one looking at her was Prince Yu's legitimate wife, the biological mother of Prince Baotai. For various reasons, and of course her deep obsession with looks, the wife agreed at first sight that her son should be with Lin Daiyu.

Baotai had more time to live next door to the Lin residence, and he and Lin Daiyu grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and they gradually developed feelings for each other. Of course, that silly boy Baotai fell in love at first sight, and Lin Daiyu then began to have some feelings for him.

Talking about Baotai, no matter how calm Lin Daiyu was, she was still a young girl. She couldn't resist her shyness and her father's teasing, and her face turned red.

Even so, the little girl still expressed her thoughts in a clear and logical manner: "Prince Baotai is not young anymore. My daughter wants to get engaged to him first, so we have to wait a little longer to pick him up."

"Well, okay. Dad will discuss it with Prince Yu tomorrow." Qingyin was not surprised at all when he learned about the little girl's idea. He nodded in understanding.

The little girl didn't have any other questions, and she solved her major life event in just a few words.

She felt at ease with her father doing things for her. Baotai was also someone her father favored, and she believed in him. Besides, she was not a fool, and she could handle any problems herself.

Baotai, who was like a wife-watching rock next door, stood stupidly in front of the jujube tree, looking in that direction, as if he had already seen that beautiful figure.

"Hah," Baotai couldn't help sneezing and silently held his handsome face, "It must be his Pin'er who is thinking about him. I don't know how long it will take to see his Pin'er again, woo woo."

Little Chenzi, who was standing behind Prince Baotai and feeling the cold wind, was already familiar with the silly look of his prince. His prince was good in everything except that he liked to act a little silly in front of the future prince's consort. He was very normal on weekdays.

I just don't know when I can go back home early today. Little Chenzi, wrapped in thick clothes, couldn't help sneezing, and his nose turned red in the early spring chill.

Qingyin's efficiency was very high. When he left court the next day, he revealed the news to Prince Yu, who tried to please him every day.

Prince Yu, who was a rough and sturdy man with the same appearance as Baotai, brightened up and said, "Okay, Lord Lin, tomorrow I will ask my brother for an imperial decree. What day do you think is right?"

看架势恨不得明日就想把林黛玉娶回去的裕亲王，青音不得不承认内心的不爽更深了，那种家里好好种着的小白菜被猪拱了，虽然是被自己看好的猪，但这种想揍猪的欲望还是不影响的。

He smiled but his eyes were not: "Haha, no hurry, no hurry."

This hehe is very clever. At least the overjoyed Prince Yu has already reacted. Looking at the beautiful Lady Lin who exudes a dangerous aura, Prince Yu reluctantly echoed, "Haha, there's no rush. The two children are still young."

That's right. Lord Lin is marrying off his daughter, not marrying a husband. If it were him, he would want to break the legs of any brat who wanted to marry his precious daughter. Prince Yu carefully inquired about Qingyin's expression and asked tentatively, "What do you think, Lord Lin?"

"There are too many people in the palace, so please come out of the palace and meet with me."

"Well, that's right."

Qingyin glanced at the nervous Prince Yu with a displeased look. Not wanting to chat with this rough guy who only knew how to fight, she planned to go back home first and have a rest to avoid being choked by Tianranhei.

The officials at the palace gate were not surprised to see Prince Yu and Lord Lin together. Who didn't know that the prince of Prince Yu's mansion and the daughter of Lord Lin's family were about to get married? Prince Yu's mansion was making a fuss, and Lord Lin didn't refuse. Wasn't this obvious?

It's a pity that Lord Lin only married his daughter and never married again. What a pity for that beautiful face! The officials passing by thought secretly that Lord Lin's appearance at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner that year had won the hearts of many young ladies. It was a pity that Lord Lin was deeply in love with the deceased Mrs. Lin and vowed not to marry again. Moreover, he was still sickly. However, even so, there were still many girls trying to win Lord Lin's heart, and even his legitimate daughter begged him.

Tsk tsk, what a pity! The imaginary official thought for a few seconds and left silently.

There were probably only a few handsome and imposing princes standing there, staring silently for a long time before leaving in silence.

Qingyin returned home and rested for a day before receiving the invitation that Prince Yu had sent out impatiently. As for Lin Daiyu's marriage, it should have been handled by the hostess of the Lin Mansion, but due to the special nature of the Lin Mansion, Qingyin had to take charge personally.

Since Qingyin is in charge of the Lin Mansion, it would not be appropriate for the legitimate wife of Prince Yu to make the decision. Just like Qingyin, the Prince Yu is the one that the palace discusses with Qingyin, but there is also the legitimate wife who is accompanying him and staring at him admiringly.

Qingyin didn't know what to say to this couple who were obsessed with looks. Qingyin, who was used to seeing strange scenes, calmly explained her purpose under their burning gazes.

"I came here this time to discuss the marriage of the two children with the prince and his wife. I personally think that the two children should be engaged first and then wait for a year or two."

Prince Yu struggled to break away from Qingyin's powerful beauty, and replied with a slightly troubled expression: "But there have been too many changes in the court recently, so it would be better for Tai'er and Daiyu to get married sooner so that they can feel more at ease."

Seeing that Prince Yu was still rational in analyzing state affairs, Qing Yin's slightly frowned brows relaxed slightly, "Your Highness is right in your consideration. Things are changing rapidly in the court, but your Majesty is still in good health, so the impact of the problem will not be too great after all."

"Too."

"Then Your Majesty will do as Lin said?"

As he was speaking, he looked at Prince Yu who had been convinced, and caught a glimpse of Fu Jin's glare from the corner of his eye. He felt a little aggrieved. His own Fu Jin said nothing the whole time, and with that face and that mouth of Lord Lin, how could he win over him?

Guaerjia, who understood the prince's thoughts through eye contact, felt a little guilty, but after a few seconds, she fell on Qingyin again. As a female relative, it was rare for her to see Lord Lin's beautiful face. If she didn't take a closer look, she would suffer a loss, okay? As for her son's marriage with Daiyu, humph, this is her son's business. What does it have to do with her as a mother? If you want to blame someone, blame his father for being incompetent! Guaerjia thought silently.

Qingyin who was standing aside didn't care about the quarrel between the couple. Having achieved her goal, Qingyin's eyes and brows relaxed and she looked more and more ethereal. The magnificent palace seemed to be emitting some fairy air.

The master and servants of the palace blushed and were dazed again.

In this way, the engagement between Lin Daiyu and Prince Yu was smoothly completed with Emperor Kangxi smiling happily.
