Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 259

[Chapter 259 The Wedding Date Has Come]

Lin Xiu did put a lot of thought into the gift for the Imperial Concubine.

But it was all worth it.

The Imperial Concubine walked around the house excitedly, touching the tree and looking at the rockery in the garden. Murong Yu also looked around the rockery for a long time. It

was beyond her imagination that a person could be so meticulous.

When she had just been promoted to the Xuan level and was not very proficient in controlling her Yuan power, she accidentally left a mark on the rockery when she was practicing releasing wind blades. He did not even miss this detail.

There was a similar mark in the same position of the rockery, and even the shape and depth were exactly the same.

She almost thought that Lin Xiu had moved the rockery from Murong Mansion.

No wonder he was always surrounded by so many women. If he used the thoughts he had for his aunt on other girls, no woman would be able to resist.

Even she had to admit that he almost satisfied all the fantasies of women about their other half.

After giving her the gift from the Imperial Concubine, Lin Xiu had only one thing left.

Waiting for the wedding.

When I saw Li Baizhang again, he and Chen Peipei appeared hand in hand.

With the help of Concubine Shu, Emperor Xia also granted him and Chen Peipei a marriage, and the wedding date was one month later.

The Chen family was one level lower than the Xue family and the Song family, and Chen Peipei was not the legitimate daughter of the Chen family. It was not wronged for her to marry the prince. In this way, Lin Xiu would not feel bad when she met Li Baizhang.

Lin Mansion.

There was a large square between the mansion and the back garden, which was transformed by Lin Xiu into a place for practicing martial arts. Lingyin and Princess Minghe were practicing in the square.

In the past few days, Princess Minghe would come here whenever she had something to do, and only returned to the palace at night.

Because Lin Xiu was always missing and had stood her up several times during the dual cultivation, she came to Lin Xiu to practice early every morning.

At this moment, Lin Xiu was sitting in the pavilion in the garden, eating melon seeds while watching their graceful figures dancing in the square. Qin Wan came over from the side, handed him a stack of silver bills, and said, “I owe you money, I’ll pay you back…”

Lin Xiu reached out to take the thousands of silver bills, and casually took out a few ten thousand taels of silver bills from the space and handed them to her, saying, “This is your pocket money.”

Although this seems to be redundant, the meanings of the two sums of money are completely different.

The thousands of taels are the debt Qin Wan owes him.

The tens of thousands of taels are the pocket money Lin Xiu gave her.

Qin Wan generously put away the silver bills. When she walked through the square, Princess Minghe came up and asked, “Do you also owe him money? How did you make money to pay him back?”

Qin Wan thought for a while and said, “I washed his clothes and cooked for him, massaged his legs and shoulders, and asked him to kiss and hug me. These can all be used to pay the money. Later, I couldn’t pay it back, so I had to marry him…”

Princess Minghe stopped asking and decisively turned and left.

I only regret that I was too young at that time, otherwise, she should be living in the largest palace in Shanglinyuan now, and she wouldn’t have to worry about debts.

…

It has been more than 20 days since the small competition ended.

During this period, the Yishu Academy and the Martial Arts Academy have set off a trend of hard practice.

After seeing the top talents of various countries and Daxia, the students of the two academies seemed to be stimulated by something. They practiced hard one by one, and even the instructors were amazed.

This situation never happened after the small competition and the big competition. After

this small competition, the students of the two academies, especially the men, were indeed stimulated.

That Lin Xiu won the first place in the small competition, and it was only tied. His Majesty rewarded him with such a big house, and also gave him the two beauties of the Yishu Academy in marriage. The wedding was undertaken by the Ministry of Rites and paid for by the court. Who wouldn’t be jealous when seeing this, who wouldn’t be envious when hearing this?

If they had Lin Xiu’s strength and achievements, wouldn’t they be able to make such a request to His Majesty?

His Majesty granted the marriage and the court undertook it. This is something that can be boasted for a lifetime.

Others can do it, why can’t they?

Lin Xiu’s experience told them that hard work can really be rewarded.

In the imperial palace, in the imperial study, the crown prince and the King of Qi stood behind two middle-aged men respectively.

The middle-aged man standing in front of the crown prince said: “Your Majesty, the marriage between the court and Fusang is a good thing, but the selection of candidates should not be so casual. Although Fusang is a small country, the girl is one of the top prodigies on the continent. Lin Xiu’s family has a wife and a concubine, and she will be included in the two rooms again soon. It is inappropriate to let such a proud girl become someone else’s fourth concubine.”

Emperor Xia glanced at him and asked, “What do you mean?”

The middle-aged man said: “That prodigy should be married to the crown prince as a concubine, so as to show the sincerity of our Great Xia.”

Before Emperor Xia opened his mouth, the King of Qi A middle-aged man in front of him said, “Brother Zhang, what you said is wrong. The prince already has a wife and two concubines. What’s the difference between marrying the prince and marrying Lin Xiu? After all, Lin Xiu is the first in the competition. His wife is Zhao Lingjun. It’s not wrong for Fusang to marry him as a concubine…”

At this point, he changed his tone and said, “However, the prince of Qi is handsome and has a graceful appearance. There is no concubine in the palace. I think it is more appropriate for her to marry the

prince of Qi.” The prince stood behind the head of the Zhang family and felt that this was extremely harsh. He wanted to stab the head of the Song family to death. For

no reason, mentioning the prince of Qi’s handsome appearance and graceful appearance, isn’t it just implying that he is ugly, short and fat? The prince of Qi is good-looking, but can good looks be eaten? Can he be more beautiful than Lin Xiu?

He first made a note of this account

with the Song family in his heart. Over the years, the Song family has been against him everywhere, and dared to scold him in a roundabout way in front of his father.

When he ascends the throne, the first thing he will do is to unite the royal family and the Zhang family to remove the Song family from the list of powerful nobles, so as to vent the hatred he has accumulated over the years.

The head of the Zhang family said, “The prince is the crown prince of a country. Being his concubine, can’t it be better than being a concubine of a marquis’s son?”

The head of the Song family smiled and said, “That may not be the case. One of Lin Xiu’s concubines is the only legitimate daughter of the Xue family, and the other is Xiaobi Wu. In terms of birth, appearance, and talent, who can the prince’s concubine compare to?”

The two of them argued endlessly on this matter, and neither of them gave in.

Although the Tianjiao of Fusang is not as good as Zhao Lingjun, there are few women in the world who are more talented than her.

To be precise, there is only one.

Zhao Lingjun is already married, and only the princess of the Daluo Dynasty can compare with her, but Daluo is a super dynasty that is not inferior to Daxia, and their princess is unlikely to marry another country.

Only Qianye Lin is left, so naturally neither the prince nor the King of Qi will give in.

After an unknown amount of time, the silent Emperor Xia finally spoke: “Stop arguing.”

The two of them shut up.

Emperor Xia glanced down and said: “You have made a mistake. The Tianjiao from Fusang is not going to marry Daxia, but is destined to marry Lin Xiu. I did not give her to Lin Xiu, but Lin Xiu brought her back to me. Is it useful for you to argue here?”

He glanced at the Crown Prince and the King of Qi, and said indifferently: “Do you think I favor him, so I gave him a house and granted him a marriage? This is all earned by others with real merits. If you have the ability, go and cheat… Bah, go and bring him yourself, win glory for the country, and recruit talents for Daxia, instead of snatching others’ here. There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, everyone withdraw…”

…

The eleventh year of Xuanyuan, the seventh day of the tenth month.

Today is the day when Ning’er and Qin Wan officially enter the family.

The Lin Mansion at night is particularly lively.

Although the Lin family didn’t have many relatives and friends, there were dozens of people from the Xue family alone, as well as some relatives and friends of the Xue family and the dignitaries in the capital. If they hadn’t changed the house, they probably wouldn’t be able to hold a banquet for hundreds of people.

Lin Xiu didn’t know how many glasses of wine he had drunk, but as long as a force in his body was running, all the drunkenness disappeared without a trace.

Old Duke Xue patted his shoulder and said, “From today on, I will hand Ning’er over to you. I believe you won’t make a mistake. Don’t let me down…”

Xue Ning’er’s brothers also pulled Lin Xiu and said, “Brother-in-law, we will be a family from now on. Come on, drink…”

Old Duke Xue kicked them on the buttocks a few times and said, “Drink, drink, drink, drink your ass.

If you want to drink, go home and drink it yourself.” After that, he glanced at Lin Xiu and said, “Why are you still standing there? Don’t let Ning’er wait for too long.”

Lin Xiu crossed two doors, and the noisy sounds outside gradually disappeared.

The two opposite palaces lit up lanterns with the word “happiness” on them.

One of them belonged to Qin Wan and the other to Ning’er.

The gates of the two palaces were open. Lin Xiu stood between them and never stepped out.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally walked into a palace and pushed open a door.

As soon as he entered the room, he was pressed against the wall. Before Lin Xiu could say anything, his lips were blocked. After a long time, their lips parted. Qin Wan pushed him away and said, “Go to her place.”

Lin Xiu looked at her, hugged her again, and whispered, “Wan’er.”

“Hmm?”

“You are finally mine.”

Qin Wan leaned on his chest and asked, “Hasn’t it been a long time?”

Lin Xiu said slowly, “This is different. From now on, no matter where we are, I can hold your hand and hug you.”

After a moment, he looked down at Qin Wan and said, “I’m sorry.”

Qin Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, “Am I so hypocritical? Let Xue Ning’er go tonight. Tomorrow night, you are not allowed to go anywhere.”

Lin Xiu said, “That’s not what I’m talking about.”

Qin Wan was surprised and said, “What is that?”

Lin Xiu hugged her tightly and said, “If I had known you ten years earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”

Qin Wan’s body trembled slightly, and she was silent for a long time, then pushed him away again and said, “I know, I know, go quickly.”

Lin Xiu said, “I want to hug you for a while.”

Qin Wan looked up at him and suddenly asked, “You don’t want us to be together, do you? I have no objection, after all, I lost to you, but she will definitely not agree now, let’s talk about it later…” While

Lin Xiu was stunned, she had been pushed out of the door.

Looking at her closed door, Lin Xiu could only walk to another palace.

Inside the room, Qin Wan leaned against the door, tears in her eyes but a smile on her face.
