The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Princess Lin’s expression indicates that something happened between Prince Lin and the Duke of England in his early years. What was it?

Lu Yanyan asked directly.

"The princess said that there was something awkward going on between the Duke of Ying and Prince Lin. What was it?"

Princess Lin had a wry smile on her face, thought for a while, and finally said it.

When Prince Lin was born, hundreds of magpies announced the good news. This was something that many people in Luo City witnessed.

But there was another unusual phenomenon that year, which was deliberately suppressed by the Duke of England.

The old Duke of England, Ruan Zhengkun, has two legitimate sons, three legitimate grandsons, and countless illegitimate sons and grandsons, but he only has one granddaughter, Ruan Xinyu.

It is said that when Ruan Xinyu was just born, there was a very beautiful bird hovering outside the delivery room.

The bird looked like the legendary phoenix. It didn't cry until Ruan Xinyu's birth cry was heard, and then the bird let out a cry and flew away.

The bird was glowing red all over, and was very conspicuous in the dim light.

Some people living around the Duke of England's mansion also saw it.

Not long after, a monk dressed in strange clothes came to the British palace.

Although the monk was dressed in a strange way, his face was very similar to the Bodhisattva statue in the temple, with a square face, big ears, deep eyes and a wide mouth. Even the compassion in his eyes and eyebrows was exactly the same as the statue.

The monk insisted on seeing the newborn Ruan Xinyu. Seeing that the man looked like a high-level monk, Ruan Zhengkun asked the midwife to carry Ruan Xinyu out.

The monk looked at Ruan Xinyu and asked the midwife about the exact time of her birth. Finally, he commented, "This girl is destined to be a phoenix daughter. She is priceless. The Duke's Mansion is so blessed."

He turned to the midwife and said, "You are very lucky to be able to deliver a baby for such a noble person. You will surely enjoy a long life of blessings in the future."

The midwife was surprised and happy.

The Duke's Mansion is a first-class dukedom, and the family has already produced a queen, Ruan Qingyao, so it is very likely that there will be another queen.

Ruan Zhengkun, however, was filled with panic. His family was already prosperous because it had one queen. If they had two queens in a row, he didn't know how jealous he would be.

Ruan Zhengkun personally sent the monk away and gave the midwife a lot of extra money, asking her not to spread the news.

After that, the midwife's career really went smoothly. First, her husband got a raise, and then her son found a job as a clerk.

Even her daughter married a scholar and became a scholar's wife.

The midwife was so happy that one day when she was drunk, she told others the reason for her good luck.

Soon, the verdict of Ruan Xinyu, the Phoenix Girl, spread throughout the capital.

Although the British government quickly took measures to stop the spread of rumors, everyone who needed to know knew it.

Later, Prince Lin and Ruan Xinyu grew up gradually. One was a royal noble with a handsome appearance like a god, and the other was the daughter of the Duke's Mansion with a great reputation.

Prince Lin was known for his talent in both civil and military affairs in his early years. At the age of ten, he made a great impression in the academy competition. At the age of thirteen, he killed the general of the Nanlai people in a battle with them, and became famous for his martial arts.

Ruan Xinyu was known as a talented girl since she was young. At the age of thirteen, she participated in the college competition and performed very well.

At that time, everyone believed that the eldest prince Li Zhaoying, who had not yet been crowned a king, would be the next emperor.

He has a stunning appearance, and is incredibly talented in both literature and martial arts. Among the noble ladies in the capital, only Ruan Xinyu can match him.

So the rumors from that year were brought up again.

Even Emperor Huiren had some ideas.

In his eyes, his eldest son should be paired with the best woman in the world.

Looking around the capital, not to mention the woman's martial arts talent, the only one who could barely match his son's appearance seemed to be Ruan Xinyu.

When Prince Lin was fourteen years old, Ruan Zhengkun got drunk one day and boasted in front of Emperor Huiren, so much so that the threshold of his house was broken down.

But his granddaughter is still young. When she reaches the age of 15 next year, he will choose the best man for her.

Emperor Huiren even joked, "The best man, aren't you asking for my Ying'er by name?"

Ruan Zhengkun was drunk and smiled foolishly at Emperor Huiren, then fell asleep.

Emperor Huiren called his eldest son to ask him what he thought.

Prince Lin looked puzzled. He was only fourteen years old and there was really no need to get engaged so early.

Besides, he doesn't like Ruan Xinyu.

Emperor Huiren felt a little sorry and pointed out that Ruan Xinyu was born with the fate of a phoenix.

Prince Lin found it even more ridiculous. Ruan Xinyu had the fate of a phoenix. Does that mean whoever married her would become the emperor?

If there really is such a thing as the Phoenix's Fate, then the emperor is still the true dragon emperor.

Is it possible that someone can defeat the true dragon emperor and become the emperor just by marrying a girl with the Phoenix Fate?

If there is, it must be because that person himself is the true dragon emperor.

Seeing that his eldest son really had no feelings for Ruan Xinyu, Emperor Huiren was persuaded by his eldest son and never mentioned the matter again.

In fact, he didn't like Ruan Xinyu very much either.

Although Ruan Xinyu is good-looking and talented, she is weak, spoiled, and a bit arrogant, so she is not a good match.

But the people in the capital did not know what Emperor Huiren was thinking, and rumors spread that the eldest prince and Ruan Xinyu were a perfect match.

Queen Ruan Qingyao even went to ask Emperor Huiren's opinion. After learning that Prince Lin had no feelings for Ruan Xinyu, she informed the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion and asked them to control the rumors and not ruin Ruan Xinyu's reputation.

Ruan Bai had a lot of complaints against King Lin because of this matter. He felt that he was humiliated by King Lin.

Later, Xie Ning was betrothed to Prince Lin.

At that time, Xie Fuyang was only a fifth-rank official, was notoriously poor, and had offended many people.

Emperor Huiren actually arranged such a humble marriage for Prince Lin, and he didn't even have a concubine.

Which prince’s arranged marriages don’t have one principal wife, two concubines and three wives?

For a time, the news that Prince Lin had fallen out of favor spread like wildfire.

Moreover, he went to his fiefdom shortly after his arranged marriage, which led to more speculation.

Although Ruan Bai felt a little gloating, he also thought that for someone as outstanding as Ruan Xinyu, no one except Prince Lin was worthy of her.

He discussed with Ruan Zhengkun that if it really didn't work out, he would marry Ruan Xinyu to the second prince.

The second prince is definitely better than the third prince.

But Ruan Xinyu disagreed.

Everyone knows that the Second Prince only has Prince Lin in his eyes. He obeys Prince Lin's orders and is more loyal to him than to Emperor Huiren.

Ruan Bai thought so too, but he really looked down on the Third Prince.

At this time, Ruan Qingyao in the palace brought the news.

The Third Prince is deeply in love with Ruan Xinyu. Everyone in Luo City knows that Ruan Xinyu will never suffer any grievances if she marries the Third Prince.

Ruan Qingyao is good friends with Concubine Chen, and she also has some motherly affection for the Third Prince.

Besides, the Third Prince is not as healthy as Prince Lin and the Second Prince. She has already found a way to let the Third Prince stay in the capital to recuperate, so that Ruan Xinyu does not have to go to the border to suffer.

Because of Ruan Qingyao's words, Ruan Zhengkun and Ruan Bai held their noses and acknowledged the third prince.

Soon the second prince was granted the title of King of Qing and the fiefdom of Yucheng.

Emperor Huiren appointed Shen Zhiyi, the daughter of the Minister of Works, as his principal wife, and Wang Shuangshuang, the daughter of the Earl of Wen'an, and Zeng Ling, the daughter of the cabinet scholar, as his concubines.

The third prince was granted the title of Prince An and the fiefdom of Bashu County.

His principal wife was Ruan Xinyu, and his two concubines were Cheng Jiale, the daughter of the Minister of Internal Affairs, and Cui Yunjiao from the imperial merchant family Cui.

After being crowned king, Prince Qing quickly went to Yucheng, but Prince An stayed in Luocheng to recuperate.

There were many different opinions afterwards.

Among the three princes, the most inconspicuous Prince An was actually betrothed to the only legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yingguo, the most famous beauty and talented woman in the capital - Ruan Xinyao.

This Miss Ruan seems to be the "Phoenix Girl of Destiny".

Prince An can still stay in the capital to recuperate, while Prince Lin, who was previously the most valued...
