Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 257

[Chapter 257: Drought kills those who die, flood kills those who die]

It is not a difficult thing to leave a palace for the imperial concubine.

The current Lin Mansion is many times larger than before. Lin Xiu roughly counted and found that there are more than a dozen courtyards and a hundred rooms. Not to mention the imperial concubine, if there is one for Shuangshuang, one for Murongyu, and one for Princess Minghe, it still seems a bit empty.

I don’t know if A Ke has finished the work of the Tiandao League. The competition is over, why hasn’t she come to find him?

The mission of the Tiandao League is to kill corrupt officials or eliminate bullies. Lin Xiu is most worried about her.

Next time, he will not let her go unless he improves her strength to the ground level.

The next day, Lin Xiu and Lingyin came to the Yishu Academy. Before he had time to practice with Lingyin, Princess Minghe walked out of her small courtyard and asked, “Where did you go yesterday? Zhu Jin said you were back. I went to your house to find you several times, but you were not at home.”

There was a hint of resentment in her tone.

It was agreed that she would practice hard and improve her cultivation as soon as possible. Lin Xiu was always away from the capital, and her cultivation speed did not improve much compared with before.

Lin Xiu looked at her and asked, “Do you have something urgent to do with me? Are you going to pay me back?”

Princess Minghe: “…”

When Lin Xiu saw her expression, he knew that he had misunderstood. He waved his hand and said, “What is our relationship? It’s just 400,000 taels of silver. You don’t have to pay it back.”

Emperor Xia was really good to him. Lin Xiu was a little moved. He rewarded him with a garden worth millions of taels without blinking an eye. If he still wanted the 400,000 taels of silver from Princess Minghe, he would be too inhuman.

Besides, those Yuanjing originally belonged to the prince, and they were also royal things.

Lin Xiu just handed over the royal things to the royal family.

Unexpectedly, Princess Minghe did not appreciate it at all. She said firmly, “Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Even if we are friends, the money owed to you must be paid back. Although I don’t have it now, I will pay it back slowly, and I will always pay it back…”

Lin Xiu could only let her do what she wanted.

He said to Princess Minghe, “I haven’t had time to tell you that I’ve moved. Look for me in the future, go to Shanglin Garden.”

Princess Minghe was surprised and said, “Isn’t that a royal garden?”

Lin Xiu said, “His Majesty has bestowed it on me.”

When they were practicing together, he heard that Daxia and Fuso were getting married, and his father had bestowed Shanglin Garden on him. Princess Minghe was very surprised and said in disbelief, “You are going to marry Qianye Lin?”

Lin Xiu said, “It’s just a political marriage. Sometimes, in the face of national interests, individuals have to make some sacrifices.”

Zhao Lingyin curled her lips and said, “Isn’t the marriage with Xue Ning’er and Qin Wan also a political marriage? One after another, the four beauties of the Yishu Academy are almost married to you.”

Lin Xiu retorted, “How can it be so exaggerated? It’s only half.”

“Only half?” Zhao Lingyin looked at Lin Xiu and asked, “Not even half. Do you still want to marry Princess Minghe?”

Princess Minghe frowned and asked, “What do you mean? Why can’t he marry you? Anyway, your Zhao family owes him a real wife…”

“What did you say?”

“You said it first!”

…

When they were going home, Princess Minghe and Lingyin walked beside Lin Xiu, one on the left and one on the right, without any communication. After visiting the Lin Mansion, Princess Minghe pointed to a courtyard and said, “Give me this courtyard, it will be convenient for me to find you for practice in the future. Since the imperial concubine moved out of the harem, I can’t find you…”

Lin Xiu couldn’t think of a reason to refuse Princess Minghe’s request.

The whole house was given by her father. It’s not too much for her to ask for a courtyard, right?

Lin Xiu looked at her and said, “I have no objection, but can you live outside the palace?”

Princess Minghe said indifferently, “Just go back at night, you’re not sleeping here, even if you sleep here, it doesn’t matter, anyway, it’s for practice, just tell your father…” After

she said so, Lin Xiu couldn’t say anything else.

It’s all for practice.

Emperor Xia has always acted quickly. In the afternoon, Lin Xiu received the imperial edict of marriage.

His wedding with Ning’er and Qin Wan will be held in half a month. All matters will be handled by the Ministry of Rites. After reading the imperial edict, Zhu Jin said to Lin Xiu: “Your Majesty has sent envoys to Fusang and Qianye Family to discuss marriage matters. You should be prepared…”

Lin Xiu put away the imperial edict and said to Zhu Jin: “Please tell Your Majesty that if Your Majesty needs anything in the future, just ask. As long as I can do it, I, Lin Xiu, will not refuse…”

On the streets of the royal capital.

Many people gathered under the palace wall and looked out.

The guards posted a notice on the palace wall. The palace wall was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. People outside could not see it and could not help asking: “What is written on it? Is there something big happening again?”

Some people have seen the content of the notice clearly and could not help but speak.

“Your Majesty grants marriages, this is a rare thing!”

“The last time was to Lin Xiu, son of the Marquis of Ping’an.”

“The time before that, it seemed to be to him as well.”

“Why is it him again this time?”

“Granting marriages three times within a year?”

“The Ministry of Rites is in charge again. The Ministry of Rites didn’t do much this year. One was to select a concubine for His Majesty, and the other was to prepare for Lin Xiu’s wedding…”

…

Under the palace wall, countless people looked at each other, and then looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Did I see it wrong? The granddaughter of Duke Xue and the daughter of Earl Jian’an, two of them were granted at once this time. They are both famous beauties in the capital, two of the four beauties in the Yishu Academy, not only beautiful, but also extremely talented. This time in the small competition, one ranked fifth and the other tenth, both of them have both strength and beauty…”

“Is there any justice in the world? He has already married Zhao Tianjiao, and now he wants to marry these two. Can he leave one for us?”

“Dream on, even if there was no Lin Xiu, it would not be your turn. She ranked first in the small competition, tied with Zhao Tianjiao. She stole the show in the last competition. If you also get first place in the small competition, maybe the one His Majesty will grant you the marriage…”

“I, I can look forward to it in the next life…”

…

This marriage contract deeply explained to everyone what it means to die of drought if there is drought, and die of flood if there is flood.

Some people have not yet settled their major life events, while others already have many wives and concubines. Zhao Lingjun is their wife, Xue Ning’er and Qin Wan are their concubines. The former goddess is about to marry a woman. I don’t know how many students in the Yishu Academy have their dreams shattered today…

But no one is qualified to discuss anything.

In recent days, Wangdu has no idea how many powerful and wealthy families want to marry their daughters to him, but they have all been rejected by the Lin family.

Who is Lin Xiu? He won the first place in the competition and easily defeated all opponents. His strength is still a mystery. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be one of the top strong men in Daxia in the future. For

such a person, what’s wrong with taking a few more concubines?

This kind of excellent bloodline should be passed down, so that Daxia will have a future and the nation will have hope.

Your Majesty is just lustful when choosing concubines.

To some extent, Lin Xiu took concubines for the sake of family and country.

Those big families in Wangdu have many children and are also for the purpose of inheriting bloodlines. Don’t you see that the Xue family has more than a dozen sons, and the Zhang and Song families have no fewer children than the Xue family.

In fact, countless people in Wangdu are curious about how talented the children of Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun will be.

With such parents, it is difficult to give birth to mediocre children.

If they don’t give birth to more than three children, they will be sorry for the talents bestowed on them by God.

Donggong.

The prince got the news earlier than anyone else.

As a prince, he has the power to participate in politics.

He not only knew that Lin Xiu was going to marry Xue Ning’er and Qin Wan, but he also knew that his father had sent envoys to Fusang to ask for the marriage of Qianye Lin, the talented girl in Fusang.

He and the King of Qi have been trying to marry her, but Fusang has never agreed.

This time, the father sent people to Fusang, and it seemed that he was fully confident.

It is not difficult for the prince to associate that Qianye Lin has been living in Lin Xiu’s house for some time. Maybe she has fallen in love with him for a long time. Lin Xiu is very good at deceiving women.

Fusang’s Tianjiao, who has a beautiful appearance and outstanding talent, is a superficial person in the final analysis, and will be deceived by Lin Xiu’s appearance and sweet words.

The prince was indignant and angry.

Since Lin Xiu was born, why did he Li Yong?

Sometimes he even doubted who was the biological son of his father, him or Lin Xiu, and why his father treated him so well, repeatedly granting her marriage and giving him Shanglin Garden.

He had been coveting the mansion of his dreams for a long time, and he had begged countless times, but his father did not give it to him.

Seeing Lin Xiu becoming more and more powerful and more and more prominent day by day, living in the house he wanted to live in and marrying the woman he wanted to marry, he couldn’t even taste the delicacies made by the imperial chef.

Shanglin Garden, now the Lin Mansion.

When Li Baizhang came to find Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu was planning the renovation of the mansion.

This place is really too big. Even if the imperial concubine, Princess Minghe, A Ke, and Qianye Lin moved in together, most of the palace would still be uninhabited.

Lin Xiu planned to renovate a palace and build a hot spring pavilion here. When winter comes, everyone can take a hot spring bath together. It must be very pleasant.

When you are tired of practicing martial arts, you can also go in and take a bath to relax.

Li Baizhang looked at Lin Xiu with a complicated expression and said, “Congratulations…”

Lin Xiu patted his shoulder and asked, “How are you and Miss Peipei?”

Li Baizhang sighed and said, “I dare not tell her my identity, and now I don’t know what to do…”

Lin Xiu asked, “Are you worried that the Princess of Qin will not agree?”

Li Baizhang said, “She won’t agree.”

Lin Xiu said, “What’s so difficult about this? Just ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage. How dare the Princess of Qin disobey his order?”

Li Baizhang glanced at him and said, “Do you think I’m you? I can always ask my father to grant you a marriage…” Lin Xiu

thought for a while and said, “If you are embarrassed to say it, I will ask His Majesty for you…”

Lin Xiu used to be a little afraid of Emperor Xia, but after getting to know him, he gradually felt that this emperor was not bad. He was generous and really helped when there was something wrong. He was able to deal with…
