After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

The candlelight was dim, and the grandfather and grandson were kneeling and standing...

The old princess stared at Lin Xun for a long time, trying to see the expression on his face clearly, but was blocked by the cold mask. A trace of vicissitudes flashed in the old princess's eyes.

She had just had another nightmare. She dreamed of fire all over the sky.

The child was born in blood and fire, leaving behind hundreds of lives in the Tianji Palace and blood flowing like a river.

Everyone in the world said that the emperor had the intention to destroy Buddhism because of a nightmare, and that the Tianji Palace suffered the unexpected disaster of being exterminated because of the predicted arrival of the Buddha's son.

The world blames the destruction of Tianji Palace on the birth of this child!

Only the old princess knew the truth, which was far more shocking than others had guessed, and even more unbearable to look back on...

She was already a dying woman, and had witnessed several changes of royal power. The capital was in turmoil, but the only thing she was concerned about the most was this child.

They were the only relatives in the world, but over the past twenty years, they had become very distant. The old princess didn't know how much of the truth he knew.

But Lin Xun's character has always been silent. The old princess didn't want to explore, nor did she dare to explore, but in the dream...

She dreamed that the child was born in fire and eventually died in a fire.

She owed this child a lot, the Lin royal family owed this child, and even the whole world of Dayin owed this child. She didn't want it to be like in her dream, and end up with a miserable ending!

After having the nightmare for the first time, she went to Huguo Temple and knelt for three days. Finally, she met Master Leyuan and got a fortune.

'Two lives of loneliness, three lives of marriage'.

Master Liaoyuan did not explain the meaning of the fortune stick, but just asked her to wait for someone, Lin Xun's destined person.

It was on that evening that a frail young girl in green knocked on the temple door...

She was dressed in plain clothes and had plain hair, with beautiful rays of light behind her, like a crabapple blossoming in the firelight!

Almost at that moment, the old princess could be almost immediately certain that she was the destined person that Master Leyuan mentioned.

The memories came to an abrupt end here. The old princess looked at Lin Xun, who was kneeling straight on the ground, with eyes as calm as a dry well, and was overwhelmed with emotions for a moment.

There is pity, guilt, and even more... self-blame!

All these emotions turned into a sigh, and he said, "What do you think?"

"If you really like her, you should cancel her engagement with the Third Prince earlier. You have fought for Dayin in these years and made so many contributions. If you only want a marriage contract, I'm sure His Majesty will not reject you."

The young man who had been kneeling on the ground in silence finally spoke up and said calmly, "Grandma, are you asking me to do something against my will?"

Under the mask, his cold eyes flashed a hint of sarcasm, and he said: "I thought that my grandmother protected Xiao Xuetang several times, and I thought she really pitied her, but it seems that it is nothing more than that."

"you!"

The old princess's face, which had finally recovered, turned extremely pale in an instant. Nanny Song never thought that Lin Xun, who had always been filial, would actually mock the old princess at this time.

What was the reason that touched his reverse scale?

Nanny Song quickly calmed the old princess down and said, "Your Majesty, the old princess truly loves Miss Xiao, so she brought her to Shuiyunju. What she said today is also out of consideration for you. How could you hurt her heart like this?"

Under the weak, accusing gazes of the two white-haired old men, Lin Xun's originally sharp gaze turned into deep helplessness...

He sighed deeply and said, "Grandma, I lost my temper today. I will apologize to you tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door, and his inky figure quickly blended into the dark night.

The old princess witnessed Lin Xun's departure with her own eyes, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes...

In the dream, he also threw himself into the sea of ​​fire without any attachment to the world. She would never, ever allow such a thing to happen!

"Get your clothes ready. I have to go to the palace in person tomorrow."

The old princess murmured.

She must ask for this marriage for Lin Xun...

This is the only thing she can do to make up for it!

'A-choo.'

Xiao Xuetang, who was in a daze, couldn't help but sneeze, and continued to hold her small medicine box and sit on the stone under the flower tree.

She is waiting for Lin Xun...

She couldn't sleep after all the trouble tonight, and there were some doubts about what happened in the Huguo Temple today that she wanted to clarify.

The scenery of Shuiyunju is still beautiful at night. The moonlight shines on the water, making it sparkle. The wind carries the fragrance of lotus. A koi fish swims by, creating ripples on the water.

The construction style here is different from the luxurious and solemn style of Kyoto. It seems that all the beauty of the Jiangnan gardens is concentrated in this Shuiyunju.

No wonder my grandfather always called the Jinling Ji family a giant family in the south of the Yangtze River when he mentioned them.

If Kyoto is home to many noble families, then the Ji family could be said to be the only one that dominated Jinling back then.

But things in the world are unpredictable and things change over time. Eventually, the Ji family declined. Today, power in Jiangnan is no longer concentrated in one family, but is composed of several families headed by the Zheng family, which restrain each other.

The maternal family of the newly appointed King of Yue, Lin Shaojin, was the Zheng clan.

The moonlight flowed over the flowers and trees. There was silence all around. Xiao Xuetang was lost in thought as he recalled some memories of his past life. At this moment, he was awakened by the sound of footsteps...

A pair of boots with dark gold patterns stepped on the grass in front of her. Looking up along the boots, she saw that he was wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with dark gold dragon patterns. It was a common style of wide-sleeved long robe in Kyoto at that time, but it looked particularly tall and straight on him.

Kyoto nobles all like to wear jade around their waists, as the saying goes, a gentleman wears jade. If they add intricate and delicate silk ribbons to their waists, they will look elegant when they walk.

But Lin Xun's waist was empty, with nothing on it...

Xiao Xuetang recalled that Lin Xun seemed to have worn a sword in his previous life, but because it was inconvenient to enter and exit the palace, he took it off later.

This man is like an eagle soaring in the sky; even if he tries to be restrained, his sharp edge cannot be concealed.

After all, his temperament and his edge are very inconsistent with Kyoto, which is fond of decadent music.

Obviously, he is also a member of the royal family like Lin Shaoshu and grew up in Kyoto.

Xiao Xuetang held the medicine box, looked at Lin Xun and thought in her heart.

Lin Xun stood in front of her and looked down at her. Seeing that she was staring at her mask without saying anything, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said nonchalantly, "You want to take it off too?"

The reason why "also" was used is because Lin Xun has been wearing a mask since he came of age, so many people in Kyoto are guessing what he looks like under the mask.

Some people say that when the Regent was young, he rode a horse on the streets with such elegance and grace that no one could match him; others say that the Regent had killed so many people that he incurred punishment from the gods and Buddhas, and his once unrivaled face in the capital has been ruined and is as ugly as a demon.

Speculations are speculations, but people are in awe of his power and fear his ruthless killing methods, so they dare not speak out.

After all, curiosity is not as important as your own life!

I also heard that the grass on the grave of the stunning dancer who tried to take off Lin Xun's mask at the palace banquet last time is now three feet high.

Xiao Xuetang shuddered, looked at Lin Xun with horror, and shook her head desperately: "Your Majesty, I don't want to die!"

Lin Xun...
