The unlucky fake daughter was screwed by the rotten system
Chapter 18 Scheming Woman
Zhao Yunjin raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, "Mother, have you forgotten? I can decide my own marriage."
When he was a child, he learned that his marriage had been arranged early, and he thought of spending the rest of his life with his spouse in a heartless and loveless manner.
However, the opportunity came.
Three years ago, when Old Tutor Lin pleaded with the Empress Dowager and the King to cancel the child marriage in front of him, he readily agreed.
At the same time, he took advantage of this rare opportunity to take his marriage into his own hands.
Since then, he has been much more at peace with himself and no one bothers him about his marriage anymore.
This is also the life he wants, free and unrestrained.
It’s also good to be alone without meeting the woman you love.
"I'm just letting you two meet, I'm not forcing you to be together. There will be a palace banquet in half a month. Jin'er, just give me some face and come to the palace on time to attend."
The Queen said softly, a glint of anticipation in her eyes.
In the past, this boy had often used government affairs as an excuse to shirk responsibility; but this time, she hoped he would agree.
Seeing that he didn't refuse, the queen felt much more relieved.
"Would you please stay and have dinner with me later?" the Queen asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Zhao Yunjin nodded slightly to show his agreement.
The sky gradually darkened and night began to fall.
At this moment, the lights in the Taifu Mansion were bright.
Lin Qianyu was sitting in the bathtub, closing her eyes and enjoying the comfort brought by the hot water.
The personal maid beside her gently wiped her body and whispered to her everything that the people she sent to find out today.
"Miss, the Empress intends to invite the daughters of the Shangshu Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion to the palace on the day of the palace banquet, and the Sixth Prince has already agreed to attend the banquet."
Lin Qianyu, who had been enjoying it with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes after hearing the news, and a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes.
"Okay, I understand. Send someone to the Fourth Prince's residence later and ask him to go boating on the lake together tomorrow."
"My slave understands."
It seems that if I want to attend the palace banquet, I have to start with the Fourth Prince. Thinking of this, Lin Qianyu's mouth curled up slightly.
Even after so much time had passed, she still couldn't forget him.
When Lin Qianyu learned that she would marry the Sixth Prince, a man of both literary and martial talents and a noble bearing, she was overwhelmed with excitement. From then on, she diligently practiced the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting day and night, just to be a good match for him.
However, fate always likes to play tricks on people.
Just when her fame was rising and she was awarded the title of "Great Talent", shocking news came: Zhao Yunjin, who was fighting far away on the frontier, was seriously injured in the face and disfigured.
This news was like a bolt from the blue for Lin Qianyu. When she learned that the scar on his face was almost impossible to completely heal, her family suggested taking this opportunity to cancel the marriage.
But Lin Qianyu firmly opposed it and successfully stopped them.
In fact, she has deeper considerations and intentions in her mind.
She was not yet 15 years old at the time, so there was still time to wait. Perhaps one day, the scars on his face would heal.
In addition, she knew that if she chose to cancel the engagement now, not only would the common people think she was a superficial person who only cared about appearances, but she might also offend the royal family.
Therefore, she decided to continue with the engagement.
Sure enough, her persistence paid off.
From then on, her reputation spread among the people - she was beautiful and kind-hearted, and she didn't judge people by their appearance. This good reputation made many young men admire her, and she was pursued by many people.
And she got what she wanted and became the focus of everyone's attention.
Her goal was achieved.
In the year she came of age, she canceled the marriage proposal, and it was she who asked her grandfather to do so. After all, she was both talented and beautiful, and the man who would get along well with her must be the best in every aspect.
The Sixth Prince had identity, status, and talent, but his appearance was no longer as good as before.
She successfully canceled the marriage, and rumors were circulating that it was the old tutor's doing and had nothing to do with her.
Her goal was achieved again.
She gave herself three years. If the Sixth Prince had not recovered during this period, she would settle for the second best and marry the Fourth Prince.
She is now 18 years old, and there are still a few months left before the three-year deadline. It is not good to keep the Fourth Prince hanging.
"We've sent people to look for the miracle doctor. Have you found any clues?"
"not yet."
Lin Qianyu frowned slightly, and with her left hand she grabbed a handful of petals from the tub and squeezed them tightly. "Add more manpower, and make sure we find it before anyone else."
Lin Qianyu knew very well that if she could find the miracle doctor and the scar on the Sixth Prince's face was healed, she could take this opportunity to rekindle her old relationship with him.
But if she can't find one, she will have to consider marrying the Fourth Prince.
Therefore, she must find a miracle doctor as soon as possible and cannot delay any longer.
Before this, the legitimate daughters of the Shangshu Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion had no chance of competing with her for the same man.
She admitted that she was clever and scheming.
But she felt she was right!
The Sixth Prince had been isolated from women ever since he broke off the engagement. She was sure that he still had feelings for her.
Thinking of this, Lin Qianyu smiled.
The day before setting up the stall, Yu Zhizhi went out and bought ten sheets of tofu. She planned to cut them before going to bed and soak them in stinky brine to color them.
She also planned to boil the pork shanks and chicken bones she bought before going to bed, simmering them over low heat overnight. This would allow the nutrients in the bones to be fully released, making the soup richer and more delicious.
This rich and delicious soup is poured over the stinky tofu and paired with garlic chili sauce, which is guaranteed to make everyone's mouth water.
"Ping An, are the wooden cart, bamboo sticks, bamboo tubes, and oil paper that I asked you to prepare ready?"
Yu Zhizhi asked while busy with her work.
"Miss, these things have been prepared, don't worry!"
When He Yang arrived at the Yun Mansion, he told Yu Zhizhi the news he had gathered, "The Sixth Prince returns from court around mid- to late-afternoon every day."
"Boss, why are you asking about this?" He Yang looked confused.
Yu Zhizhi smiled mysteriously, "You'll know tomorrow."
According to modern time, the Si hour is between nine and eleven in the morning, which means that the Sixth Prince will return around ten in the morning.
Yu Zhizhi thought about it secretly and decided to set up the stall from 9:30 to 10:00 in the morning for these three days.
Although the Sixth Prince's mansion was so large that the smell of stinky tofu might not reach his villa, when he returned from court every morning, his stall was not far from the gate of his mansion, so he would definitely smell the stinky smell.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhizhi started complaining again.
Bad system.
We chose this place and asked her to set up a stall.
What about setting up the stall randomly? It felt like they were deliberately trying to prank her.
He Yang continued to ask with a smile: "What are we selling tomorrow?"
Yu Zhizhi glanced at He Yang and replied calmly, "Delicious food."
"What kind of food?"
"You'll know tomorrow," Yu Zhizhi said mysteriously.
He Yang pouted and muttered softly, "That sentence again."
On the way back home, He Yang's right eyelid began to twitch, and he always felt uneasy!
Oops.
Jump right eye jump Choi disaster.
I hope the boss doesn't do anything weird.
