Marrying Gold and Jade

The Crown Princess asked, you don’t mind, do you?

Lin Yu always felt that this sentence was redundant and funny.

Who am I to blame her? Knowing that I can only go along with her, I still ask her unnecessary questions, which inevitably makes people feel that I am not sincere enough.

Lin Yu also replied truthfully: "How dare I."

She was the one who accompanied them, and the Crown Princess led all the conversation. She talked about many seemingly trivial things, such as the Emperor and the Empress, their young couple, their deep love, and how she herself was not very envious.

He suddenly turned to look at her and said, "If you were such a beautiful girl like me and married into an ordinary family, I would really feel sorry for you."

From the moment they met until now, the Crown Princess had been praising her beauty. Lin Yu initially thought she was being polite, until she heard this, when she felt a sense of crisis as if her true intentions had been exposed.

"what do you mean……"

The woman smiled slightly, "The prince has always been upright and honest, and has not yet taken a concubine."

Lin Yu took a breath of cold air.

He didn't care about being polite and turned his head away, his face tense.

But the Crown Princess said beside him, "Don't be afraid. This is not urgent. The war in the northwest has just started, and this is the busiest time for the country and the officials. The Crown Prince will not go to great lengths to take a concubine at this time. It's just that my mother and I have this idea."

The "mother" that the Crown Princess mentioned is the Queen. Does the Queen also want to marry her son herself?

Lin Yu was thinking about these things in a mess, when suddenly he heard Lin Ji's name again.

"The end of the year is approaching, and you may feel lonely staying alone in this imperial city. I heard that this year's number one scholar, Lin Ji, is your sworn brother. Ask him to meet you when the time comes, which will help ease your homesickness."

It was so cold that Lin Yu felt that her hand holding his was also cold.

Not long after she finished saying this, the Crown Princess led her people out of the training ground.

Lin Yuze was blankly recalling what she had said to him. The more he thought about it, the more he thought back to the past. In the end, he could only remember the word she had used to praise him at the beginning: a tree that stands out from the crowd.

The second half of the sentence is, the wind will destroy it.

It's more of a threat than a compliment.

Everyone knows her situation. Xu Jinxuan wants her, and A Yuan is unwilling to give up. Even though she knows that there is something unclear between her and both of them, she still comes to persuade her to become the prince's concubine.

It can only mean one thing: they also had their eyes on the "dowry", which was enough to support the war in the northwest.

But she happened to mention Lin Ji.

When Lin Ji entered the capital, did he join the prince's army?

Lin Yu felt a headache just thinking about this possibility, but she didn't think Lin Ji would sacrifice herself and let her do something like a concubine.

Concubine, concubine, this is not the first time that someone has advised her to be a concubine. Lin Yu was really full of complaints. Looking at Pingyao's flying clothes in the horse farm, she only regretted that she could not ride a horse, otherwise she would be able to ride a horse with peace of mind.

After standing by for another half an hour, the woman in the stable finally pulled the reins, took the water bag handed to her by the palace servant, took a sip, and walked over here, but she didn't even look at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu waited and waited, and seeing that she really didn't intend to pay attention to him, he couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness!"

Pingyao had already turned around, but paused and decided to turn back and say a few more words to her.

"You must be a smart person. You know what I mean. I'm calling you here today on behalf of my sister-in-law."

She did not hide anything, and Lin Yu nodded slightly.

The next moment, she said, "I don't have anything to tell you. You've heard everything you need to hear. Why are you standing there like an idiot? Go back."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

The more Lin Yu listened, the more she felt that it was not a big deal, so she blurted out, "Is Your Highness the Princess angry?"

Pingyao stopped again and frowned slightly impatiently.

Lin Yu refused to let it go, and continued, "I was the one who was deceived today, and I was also the one who pretended to be nice to the Crown Princess. I am not angry, so why should Your Highness be angry?"

When Pingyao turned around again, he even laughed out of anger.

She is a princess. Apart from her father, brothers and mother, who would dare to ask her "why she is angry"?

"Lin Yu, you are very beautiful, but I am a woman. Isn't it wrong to be so arrogant because of my favor?"

"I am not arrogant because of my favor."

Lin Yu looked at her seriously and keenly realized that Pingyao was actually feeling guilty and unwilling about this matter.

That's why she doesn't dare to face herself now, leaving herself aside and wanting to leave without looking back.

"Your Highness is the first and only person in this palace who has asked me my name. I consider Your Highness my friend. I know that what happened today was not your original intention."

Pingyao had seen so much flattery and complicated thoughts that his first reaction when he heard such sincere and straightforward words was that he was uncomfortable.

It was as if my heart had been hanging in the air for too long, and suddenly someone grasped it tightly, making it hard to breathe.

"Who is your friend?"

Pingyao suddenly grabbed the horsewhip from the eunuch beside him, swung the whip high, and it landed at Lin Yu's feet, causing the hem of her skirt to rip and fall down.

As everyone was surprised, Pingyao said coldly: "The daughter of the Lin family was rude and contradicted me. Don't let me see her again in the future."

After saying that, he threw down the whip and left without looking back.

Soon the news of "cutting the skirt to sever ties" spread throughout the palace.

It was not until Lin Yu walked out of the horse farm and walked very far that day that Qing Dai could no longer hold back and yelled, "What is this? How did our girl ever let her down? She has a temper like a princess, she really has a temper like a princess!"

Lin Yu looked down at the short hem of her skirt and thought, she is a princess, so shouldn’t she have the temper of a princess?

Zhu Lian added: "I think the eldest princess is much better than the crown princess."

At least after what happened today, the Queen can no longer use the relationship between the eldest princess and her own daughter to persuade people to make her the prince's concubine.

Princess Pingyao's move was actually due to her unwillingness to conspire with her mother and sister-in-law.

Lin Yu also said: "I don't blame her."

If she had been let go the first time at the horse farm today without saying those words, Pingyao might not have had to put on this show.

That day, when Mingyuan entered the main hall, he saw Lin Yu holding his chin with both hands, looking out the window at the table, but he didn't know what he was looking at in the pitch-black darkness.

When she heard his movements, she looked sideways, sat up straight, and said, "You're here."

No matter how busy or tired he is, Mingyuan will come to talk to her every day. Lin Yu has gotten used to it.

This month her love poison also broke out, but Xu Jinxuan still touched her every now and then, and the outbreak was not very severe.

Mingyuan heard about what happened in the training ground today and took the initiative to tell her: "My elder sister has a proud personality, but she is also a good person."

I remember when Xu Jinxuan was having his coming-of-age ceremony, Wenyuan Pavilion caught fire. Later, someone told him that it was Pingyao who carried Lin Yu out of Wenhua Hall.

Lin Yu didn't hesitate, just nodded and said, "I know."

Then he asked what he was concerned about: "When can I see Lin Ji?"
