Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 328

[Chapter 328: Fake Becomes Real]

Lin Xiu had never expected Princess Minghe to pay back the money before.

He waved his hand generously, handed Princess Minghe a few silver bills, and said, “We will be a family in the future. What’s the point of talking about debts? Just spend this money first.”

Princess Minghe looked at the silver bills in her hand, feeling happy.

It’s good to marry into the Lin family. In the palace, her annual pocket money was only one thousand taels, and this silver would be ten thousand taels. Because she was very familiar with Qianye Lin, she knew that Lin-chan had ten thousand taels of pocket money a month, and she would also have ten thousand taels of pocket money a month in the future.

As for the four hundred thousand taels, although she owed it, it was actually a debt of the court.

She had to go to her father and try to see if she could get the money back.

Lin Xiu didn’t need to worry about marrying the princess, the Ministry of Rites would arrange it properly. The next day, he first resolved the issues of Dayu and Basha.

On behalf of Daxia, he signed a contract with the envoy of Dayu, in black and white, exchanging Daxia’s meteorite for the mineral veins of Basha controlled by Dayu.

Dayu got the meteorite, and they and the forces of the other two dynasties had to withdraw from Basha. No matter whether they got what they wanted from the meteorite or not, they could not regret it. There is

no need to worry too much about this.

Integrity is the cornerstone between big countries.

Take the big competition as an example. All countries agree that the resource allocation of the continent is determined in this way, so they must respect the results of the big competition. Before the competition, they can use various means to interfere with other countries, but once there is a result, including Dayu, any country must follow it.

If someone breaks the rules, the order that the entire continent has finally established will collapse, and no one wants to see this scene.

By then, even if Dayu regrets it, it will be too late.

Of course, Daxia’s assistance to Basha is not without benefits.

The mineral veins of Basha are mined by Daxia. At the same time, Daxia will provide Basha with some materials to help them build bridges and roads and improve the lives of the people of Basha. The geniuses of Basha can also be sent to Daxia for training. From then on, the two countries established a mutually beneficial relationship.

Wusa is the prince of Basha. This time when he left the country, the king of Basha gave him the power to decide all domestic affairs.

After learning that it was because of Lin Xiu’s efforts that Dayu withdrew from Basha, Prince Wusa thanked him repeatedly and said that the people of Basha would always remember his kindness.

Lin Xiu laughed it off.

He did not do it for the people of Basha to remember him, nor for the mineral veins of Basha. If he had to say what it was for, it could only be said that it was for the oppressed people and for the people who suffered all over the world…

The education received since childhood, the history learned, and the people from that place all have a little bit of such genes in their bones.

A Ke should be the person who can understand Lin Xiu the most, but it’s a pity that she is not in the capital.

It seems that Lin Xiu’s voice was heard. When he returned home, the gate of the palace opened silently.

When Lin Xiu and the others went to Daluo to participate in the competition, A Ke was also continuing to do her work. She killed many people on the list given by Emperor Xia. With her current strength and the ability to hide, she rarely missed below the upper level of the earth level.

In the past month, countless people who deserved to die died at her hands, but she didn’t even get hurt.

The colorful boat given by Emperor Xia has been built and parked in an empty palace. Originally, when A Ke came back, Lin Xiu planned to take them out for fun, but now she has to wait until the marriage with Princess Minghe is completed.

There is a complete set of etiquette for the princess to get married, which also requires three letters and six betrothals. The betrothal gift for marrying Princess Minghe is 400,000 taels of silver, but because Emperor Xia still owed Lin Xiu 400,000 taels, it was offset.

Lin Xiu didn’t think there was anything wrong with this, but Princess Minghe was a little dissatisfied and muttered a few words about her father being stingy.

On the day of the wedding, the ceremony was not held in the Lin Mansion, but in the palace.

When the princess got married, all the powerful officials in the capital had to attend without reason, and a generous gift was naturally inevitable. At the wedding banquet, the guests had different thoughts.

Many powerful officials in the capital sighed secretly. For them, it was a choice between the lesser of two evils, whether the princess married Prince Daluo or Lin Xiu. It was really a choice that they had no choice. It was

all their own daughter’s fault. She didn’t have the vision of the one

in the Xue Mansion. As early as when Lin Xiu was still unknown, she had already insisted on marrying him. Now, Lin Xiu broke into the Xue family and made an agreement with the Xue family to be in the top ten of the Tianjiao list. It has become a good story in the capital, and some people even made it into a play to sing… At

that time, their daughter didn’t seize the best opportunity, and now it’s too late.

It’s always better to give timely help than to add icing on the cake.

They missed the opportunity to recruit a strong supporter for the family in vain.

The prince certainly couldn’t be absent from the princess’s wedding, but he only showed up and went back to the East Palace on the pretext of feeling unwell. Many people noticed this. In recent banquets, the prince seemed to have left early because of feeling unwell. In some people’s minds, he was already a sickly image.

Zhao Lingyin sat somewhere, holding her chin with one hand, her eyes a little absent-minded.

When Lin Xiu married her sister, she and Qin Wan sat below.

When Lin Xiu married Qin Wan, she and Princess Minghe sat below. When

Lin Xiu married Princess Minghe, she and Shuangshuang Murongyu sat below.

The people who married him and worshipped him were always changing, only she who sat below remained unchanged.

…

When the banquet in the palace ended and Lin Xiu returned home, Princess Minghe, with a red cloth covering her head, was already waiting for her in the main hall of the palace, which was decorated very festively.

Lin Xiu didn’t know how many times she had experienced this kind of occasion, and she was already familiar with it.

Gently uncovering the red cloth, Princess Minghe looked particularly bright and beautiful tonight. People say that a woman’s wedding day is the most beautiful time of her life, and there is a reason for that.

Lin Xiu was lucky enough to have seen three of the four beauties in the Yishu Academy at their most beautiful.

The only thing missing was Lingyin.

Princess Minghe’s pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head and asked, “What are we doing now?”

Lin Xiu was already very familiar with the process of the bridal chamber.

What to do on the bridal night naturally depends on who is in charge.

If it is Zhao Lingjun, then he can only sleep alone.

If it is Qianye Lin, she will let Lin Xiu sleep in the bed with him. If it is Caiyi Ning’er Wan’er

, of course, they will do some things that should be done in the bridal chamber.

Facing Princess Minghe, Lin Xiu thought for a while and asked, “What do you want to do?”

Princess Minghe was surprised and said, “You have been married so many times, how could you not know?”

Lin Xiu said, “Normally, we should drink the wedding wine next.”

Princess Minghe said, “Then drink it.”

The wedding wine was prepared long ago and placed on the low table in front of the bed. The two of them each picked up a cup, then held hands and drank the wine in the cup.

Princess Minghe put down the wine glass and asked again, “Then what?”

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, “Get married.”

Because Minghe is a princess, even if she marries into the Lin family later, she is on an equal footing with Zhao Lingjun. When she gets up the next day, she does not need to greet Zhao Lingjun, and the process of the wedding is also in accordance with the rules of marrying a wife.

The hair-tying ceremony symbolizes the unity of husband and wife and their eternal love. It requires cutting a strand of hair from both the husband and wife, tying it into a knot, and then giving it to the woman for safekeeping.

Princess Minghe attached great importance to these ceremonies. She found a pair of scissors, cut a strand of hair from her and Lin Xiu respectively, and braided it into a knot, and finally put it in a sachet and carefully kept it.

She looked at Lin Xiu again and asked, “Then what?”

Lin Xiu said, “Then we rested. You sleep here and I go somewhere else.”

Princess Minghe was stunned for a moment, and then she angrily said, “On the wedding night, you left me alone in the empty room. Are you still a human being?”

Lin Xiu was also stunned. Didn’t they say that the two of them were fake married? Didn’t Emperor Xia tell him?

Lin Xiu looked at her and asked in astonishment, “Your Majesty didn’t tell you?”

Princess Minghe said angrily, “Tell me what?”

Lin Xiu looked into her eyes. Her eyes were clear, with only anger. She seemed to know nothing.

Lin Xiu was stunned again, and an idea came to his mind.

Damn, he fell into Emperor Xia’s trap!

Lin Xiu took a deep breath and asked her, “Do you really want to marry me?”

Princess Minghe said unhappily, “Who else can I marry besides you?”

Lin Xiu confirmed that he had really fallen into the trap set by Emperor Xia.

Both he and Minghe were in Emperor Xia’s calculations.

She was serious.

He looked at Princess Minghe and said, “I mean, are you willing to marry me?”

Princess Minghe glared at him and asked back, “Who would marry someone they don’t like?”

She had already missed an opportunity, how could she miss it a second time?

These days, she had regretted countless times. Seeing her family enjoying themselves, she was like an outsider. Who could understand that kind of bitterness?

She would not make the same mistake a second time.

Lin Xiu looked at her and said, “Then you said last time that it was for the sake of the overall situation…”

Princess Minghe glanced at her and said, “Can’t I be reserved?”

…

Lin Xiu understood. He thought it was a fake marriage, but Minghe believed it was true from the beginning to the end.

As a princess of a country, she was willing to make such a decision, and it was certainly not as simple as friendship deteriorating.

Lin Xiu held her hand and whispered, “Have you really thought it through?”

Princess Minghe leaned in his arms and said, “I’ve thought about it a long time ago. Do I, a woman, have to speak first for this kind of thing? Xue Ning’er, Qin Wan, and Miss A Ke, did they all confess first…” In

this regard, she really misunderstood Lin Xiu.

The most clever hunters often appear as prey.

If you bloom, the breeze will come. The highest level of chasing girls is to be chased by girls. This is the real sea king, otherwise you can only be called a sea dog.

In any case, what he thought was a fake bridal chamber turned into a real bridal chamber.

Lin Xiu looked down at Minghe and asked, “Then, shall we continue?”

Princess Minghe buried her head in Lin Xiu’s chest and said “um” softly.

Lin Xiu picked her up, and a breeze blew, and the swaying red candles in the room went out. At the same time, a precious friendship for Lin Xiu was extinguished…
