Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 327
[Chapter 327 Do I Have to Pay It Back?]
Harem.
Princess Minghe came out of Ruidong Palace and was about to go to Lin Mansion to find Lin Xiushuangxiu. When she passed by the gate of the harem, she heard a group of palace maids gathered together and whispered something.
“Have you heard that the eldest prince of the Daluo Dynasty has proposed to Princess Minghe.”
“Is it true? With the talent of the princess, how could she marry Daluo?”
“How could the news from the Central Palace be false? I just saw Zhu Zongguan personally go to the Ministry of Rites. It seems that he is preparing for the princess’s marriage…”
…
Hearing the discussion of these palace maids, Princess Minghe trembled and her mind went blank in an instant.
After a moment, Emperor Xia looked at the figure who strode into the imperial study and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Princess Minghe said with a firm expression, “I won’t marry!”
Emperor Xia glanced at her and said, “This opportunity is hard to come by. Don’t act on impulse like last time. If you miss it this time, you may never have such an opportunity again in the future…”
Marrying a princess to a married man is an unprecedented precedent.
Under normal circumstances, even if he was the emperor, such a decision would be opposed by the royal family and the dignitaries. If it weren’t for Daluo’s marriage proposal, which scared the dignitaries of the Zhang family, they would never have been united in facing the outside world.
Princess Minghe gritted her teeth and said, “Anyway, I just won’t marry!” Emperor
Xia looked at her for a long time, and some doubts arose in his heart. Did he see it wrong?
She didn’t like Lin Xiu?
The girl’s mind was really hard to understand, not as simple as the queen and the virtuous concubine.
He showed a regretful expression, sighed, and said, “If you don’t want to, I will let Zhu Jin go to the Ministry of Rites again to cancel your engagement with Lin Xiu. There are so many people in his family, it’s really unfair to you.”
Princess Minghe was stunned and murmured, “With, with whom?”
Emperor Xia glanced at her and said, “Lin Xiu, who else could it be except him? There is no one in the world who is more talented than him and more compatible with your ability. Of course, I can’t really marry you to Daluo, but I can’t refuse to give face to the Daluo Dynasty. I have to resort to this last resort. I’m sorry to have wronged you, but since you don’t want to, I won’t force you. Let’s just leave it at that…”
The anger in Princess Minghe’s eyes turned into barely perceptible joy, and she lowered her head .
She nodded, was silent for a moment, and then whispered: “I am the princess of Daxia. It is my duty to make some sacrifices for the country. This grievance is nothing…”
Emperor Xia asked: “Do you mean, are you willing to get married?”
Princess Minghe nodded and whispered: “If this is for Daxia, I am willing…”
Emperor Xia thought for a while and said, “But I am a little reluctant. I can’t sacrifice your lifelong happiness for a little face…”
Princess Minghe hurriedly said: “Father, you are the king of a country. You should not joke. You can’t take back what you promised to others…”
As she spoke, she found that Emperor Xia’s expression was half-smile, and she finally realized something. She blushed, stamped her feet and said: “Father!”
…
When Lin Xiu walked out of the imperial study and came to the palace gate, he found someone waiting for him here.
The fourth prince took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Xiu, saying, “I don’t owe you anything now.”
Lin Xiu opened the box and looked at it. There were ten neatly arranged Yuan Crystals inside. He thought to himself that Dayu was indeed wealthy. It was difficult for the Daxia court to take out one Yuan Crystal, but Dayu’s fourth prince took out ten.
It should be said that although Otto was very concerned about his reputation, he was quite honest.
Lin Xiu put the box away and said, “Let’s cooperate again next time.”
The fourth prince straightened his chest, looked at Lin Xiu deeply, and said proudly, “Next time, I will defeat you fairly, really fairly.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
This time, Lin Xiu did not despise Otto. Dayu had a mysterious item obtained from the meteorite. I don’t know how long it would last for them. Three years later, Doug, Otto and others should also enter the upper realm of the earth level, so he had to hurry up to practice.
Now, everyone thinks that his cultivation has reached the upper realm of the earth level, but only Lin Xiu himself knows that he is still a little short of that realm.
When Lin Xiu returned home, he saw that figure still kneeling in front of the palace gate.
This genius from a small country named Wusa had chased from Daluo to Daxia. His clothes had long been tattered, and he was not wearing shoes. His feet were already bloodstained.
Lin Xiu walked in front of him.
The young man slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Xiu. His eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without any brilliance.
When he saw the person in front of him, his eyes still flashed.
He naturally knew Lin Xiu, the first on the Tianjiao list, the genius who swept all the countries in the competition, and the most dazzling sun among all the geniuses on the continent in this era.
Lin Xiu looked at him and asked, “Do you understand Daxia language?”
The young man said, “One, a little bit.”
Lin Xiu asked again, “Dayou language?”
The young man nodded.
Lin Xiu said in Dayou language: “Daxia has helped you solve the matter of Basha country. You go back to the embassy first. Someone will discuss the specific matters with you tomorrow.”
Hearing this, the young man’s eyes, which were originally like stagnant water, instantly regained their brilliance.
The huge surprise made him stunned in place, and even his thinking stopped.
Lin Xiu patted his shoulder and turned to leave.
Solving the Basha issue was just a matter of convenience for him.
During the competition, the lonely figure kneeling on the training ground left a deep impression on him.
For Daxia, this is just a deal, but for Basha, it may change the fate of millions of people.
If it were A Ke, she would not stand idly by.
On the way back to the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiu was thinking, how to tell them that he just went to the palace for a walk, and they had one more sister?
After returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiu found that he was overthinking, and he didn’t need to say anything about this matter.
Zhu Jin was already here, and the imperial edict had been read out.
The imperial edict was very long, but it only said one thing, that Princess Minghe would marry into the Lin family soon, and her status would be equal to that of the legal wife Zhao Lingjun, and the Ministry of Rites was already stepping up preparations.
At the same time, several Daxia officials who were present at the time also revealed the matter after returning home.
Hearing this news, the people were no longer surprised.
After all, this is not the first or second time.
At the age of 20, the first place on the Tianjiao list, no matter what reward he gets, it is not excessive. Moreover, in terms of the degree of matching, Princess Minghe is the most gifted fire attribute user in Daxia, and Lin Xiu is the most gifted ice attribute user in the continent. Their combination is of great help to the cultivation of both of them. It is simply made in heaven.
In fact, as long as you think about it simply, you will find that Princess Minghe can only marry Lin Xiu.
She is the most gifted genius in the royal family. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely be another Tianjie strongman in Daxia in the future. Such a genius is almost impossible to marry to another country. Even if the royal family agrees, all the people in Daxia will oppose it.
And her ability is fire. For the sake of cultivation, she can only marry a genius with ice attribute.
There are too few people with ice attribute in Daxia. Among those of the right age, there is only the second lady of the Zhao family for women and Lin Xiu for men. Therefore, there is no second choice for Princess Minghe’s son-in-law.
Even if he has several wives and concubines in his family, his identity as the first place on the Tianjiao list makes His Majesty break the rules as an exception.
East Palace.
The prince was filled with regret when he heard the news.
Why did he kill those people who had awakened the Ice Art? If he hadn’t killed them, Minghe’s consort would not have been Lin Xiu’s only choice. In a sense, he was the one who contributed the most to this marriage…
Lin Mansion.
Contrary to Lin Xiu’s expectations, the girls didn’t seem to have much reaction to this matter.
Zhao Lingjun didn’t care as usual. Caiyi and Ning’er were just a little surprised. Qianye Lin had the best relationship with Princess Minghe and seemed to be looking forward to it. Qin Wan was even more eager to try. Natasha just looked at him with extremely envious eyes… What
surprised Lin Xiu the most was Lingyin. She didn’t react at all.
In the back garden, the girls were enjoying the scenery. Lin Xiu and Lingyin were sitting in the pavilion. He picked up a peach, took a bite, and asked her, “Don’t you have anything to ask me?”
Zhao Lingyin was bored and said lightly, “What’s the point of asking you? You are the most suitable to be her consort. Who else can she marry besides you?”
Having said that, Lin Xiu still explained, “In fact, this is really an accident. If it weren’t for the Daluo people asking for marriage, His Majesty would not have granted us the marriage. Otherwise, she would have to marry Daluo…”
Zhao Lingyin glanced at him, “No need to explain, I’m used to it. Do you dare to say that you don’t have any thoughts about her?”
Lin Xiu said honestly, “Princess Minghe and I are purer than you and me.”
He didn’t lie at all.
If he had thoughts about the first meeting, only Qin Wan
was the only one. He fell in love with Caiyi, Ning’er, and A Ke over time.
Zhao Lingjun was forced by the marriage contract, Qianye Lin was a political marriage, and Princess Minghe, that was his always carefully maintained and cherished friendship…
Now it’s all right.
This hard-earned friendship was also destroyed by Emperor Xia.
It was fate.
Zhao Lingyin glared at him and said, “What is impure about you and me…”
Lin Xiu didn’t say anything, just looked at her lips.
At least he and Princess Minghe were just holding hands during practice.
Lin Xiu’s glance made Lingyin blush and hurried away.
At this time, a figure came from a distance and sat opposite Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu looked at Princess Minghe and explained, “You have to believe me, this is not what I mentioned to Your Majesty…”
Princess Minghe said, “I know.”
Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “Then…”
“Let’s do it.” Princess Minghe looked up at him and said, “Father has already granted the marriage in front of so many people. The king is not joking. If we go back on our word, what will Daluo think? We should put the overall situation first.”
She spoke with great righteousness and righteous words, and even Lin Xiu was affected.
He nodded and said, “Well, that’s fine.”
Princess Minghe hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked at Lin Xiu and asked, “If I marry you, then I don’t have to pay back the 400,000 taels, right?”
