Royal daughter-in-law makes money

chapter Ten

"Dad, can this be returned?" Qiao Anan said she didn't want it!

When she thought of that unshaven face, Qiao Anan felt goosebumps all over her body.

No, no, this marriage is not acceptable.

"Look at what you said. Can your father really harm you? An An, let me tell you, the Second Prince is truly a rare talent. He is so handsome." Qiao Zhencheng said with a proud look on his face.

"Dad, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Qiao Anan thought to herself, if she was really that beautiful, how could such a good thing happen to her?

Her father wouldn't lie to her, right?

"You kid, when has your father ever lied to you?" Qiao Zhencheng said with a hurt look on his face.

"Dad, how many wives and concubines does the Second Prince have?" Qiao Anan thought of another question. In this era, princes can marry several women.

She didn't want to spend the rest of her life in the backyard fighting with all sorts of women for a rotten cucumber.

"No, no, there are no wives or concubines in the Second Prince's mansion." Qiao Zhencheng knew this, and he said it with certainty.

"Then he..., isn't there something wrong with him?" Qiao Anan thought of another possibility and asked doubtfully.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qiao Zhencheng quickly waved his hand, thinking that the Second Prince didn't look like a bad person.

Prime Minister Lin returned to the Lin family in a daze.

"Master." The servants bowed when they saw Prime Minister Lin.

"Grandpa!" Lin Ruyi heard that Prime Minister Lin had entered the palace, so she had been waiting for Prime Minister Lin to come back early.

She guessed in her heart that the emperor asked her grandfather to enter the palace because of her marriage with the second prince.

She was very excited. As long as the imperial edict was issued, she would be the real consort of the Second Prince.

Lin Qi looked up at his granddaughter and sighed inwardly.

I don’t know how to tell my granddaughter that her marriage is settled.

However, it was not the second prince as they had previously thought, but Yu Jinghua, the eldest son of the Yu family, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.

After leaving the palace, he went to the Yu family. He had already discussed this matter with Yu Hongkang. In seven days, he would arrange marriages for the two children.

"Ruyi, is your mother at home?" Lin Ruyi is the eldest daughter of Lin Qi's eldest son Lin Liangsheng. She is the first grandchild and granddaughter of the Lin family, so naturally she is pampered.

Originally, I thought that if this granddaughter could marry into the royal family, it would be a help to the Lin family.

Now, he could only hastily arrange a marriage with a minor official.

When Lin Qi thought of this, he felt a little more guilty towards his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, do you have something to discuss with mom? Your granddaughter will come to find mom right now." Lin Ruyi thought to herself, grandpa must be discussing her marriage with mom, right?

"Well, go and ask her to come over!" Lin Qi nodded, but didn't say much to Lin Ruyi.

"Okay, Grandpa!" Lin Ruyi agreed happily and went to find her mother, Zhou.

Looking at his granddaughter leaving, Lin Qi didn't know whether his granddaughter would be dissatisfied when she found out that he had arranged a marriage for her with the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

"Master, why are you calling me here so urgently? Is there something wrong?" The person who came was Lin Qi's wife, Fang.

"Well, there is something." Lin Qi sighed, feeling a little unsure about what he was going to say.

"Master, has your dream marriage been arranged?" Fang thought of Lin Qi entering the palace today.

I thought to myself, could it be that the emperor has already agreed to the marriage between Lin Ruyi and the second prince?

Thinking of this, Fang's eyes were filled with joy.

The master is now the prime minister, and his two sons have also achieved success in the officialdom.

If my granddaughter could marry into the royal family, it would be the icing on the cake.

"It's settled!" Lin Qi nodded. It was indeed settled.

However, it was not what they expected.

When Lin Ruyi's mother, Zhou, heard her father-in-law calling her, she hurried over.

Although Lin Ruyi wanted to come along, she was afraid that they would really talk about her marriage and felt shy, so she could only wait in her mother's yard.

"Hello, Dad and Mom!" Although Zhou was anxious, she still bowed gracefully.

"Okay, get up." Lin Qi didn't have the heart to go through all this empty formalities.

"Dad, you called your daughter-in-law over, is there something wrong?" Zhou also asked hurriedly at this time.

"You should get ready. Ruyi's marriage has been decided. The wedding will be held in seven days." Prime Minister Lin thought that the date was a bit urgent, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Seven days later? Isn't this a bit hasty?" Zhou asked in shock, thinking to herself, it has been some time since Empress Xian discussed the marriage between Ruyi and the Second Prince with them, and Empress Xian had no intention of giving in before, so how could the marriage be decided just like that?

"Hmm!" Lin Qi was also in a bad mood. He didn't want this either.

"Empress Xian, why didn't she reveal any information before? Although the two families have discussed the marriage a long time ago, it's really too hasty to get married just like that." Zhou said with a frown.

"It may be related to the imperial edict issued by the emperor recently. Now, the marriages of several princes have not been decided. I think the emperor wants Ruyi and the second prince to set an example!" Fang said after thinking for a while.

"It's still not too late after seven days. We have already prepared the dowry. What's missing are just some miscellaneous items." Zhou nodded when she heard this, and felt that what her mother-in-law said made sense.

"Ruyi is not marrying the second prince." Lin Qi suddenly burst out with a thunderous sound.

"what?"

"what?"

Both Fang and Zhou were shocked. Not the second prince?

Who is that?

I had never seen Prime Minister Lin mention this to them before.

"He is the eldest son of the Yu family, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture." Lin Qi said.

"The prefect of Jingzhao? Old man, are you crazy?" Fang looked at Lin Qi in disbelief. Their prime minister's mansion was qualified to marry a prince, but this old man actually promised his granddaughter to the eldest son of a fourth-rank official.

This is just ridiculous!

"I have my own ideas about this matter. For the sake of Ruyi and the Lin family, you should handle this marriage well!" Lin Qi said without any doubt.

"I don't agree with this marriage!" Fang said without thinking. Her most beloved granddaughter was Lin Ruyi. How could she be willing to let Lin Ruyi marry into the Yu family?

"If you don't agree, then let her serve for three years, and then the government will assign her a marriage partner! Humph, by then, it might be someone random, maybe even worse than the one we're planning to marry into the Yu family!" Lin Qi said angrily.

"Dad, Ruyi, why did you arrange this marriage with the Yu family? Empress Xian..." Zhou wanted to say that Empress Xian really liked Ruyi and wanted her to be the second prince's principal wife.

"What? I can't be the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion anymore?" Lin Qi was also angry. If possible, he naturally hoped that his granddaughter could marry the second prince, but now, how could he dare!

Not to mention the second prince, he didn't even dare to mention the other unmarried princes.

Marrying into the Yu family was a helpless move for him, but these people did not understand his decision!
