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

"Who is your fiancée?"

"No, how come you have a fiancée!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, and everyone's gazes, which were originally on Lin Xun, dispersed.

There were two people who lost their composure. One was the Third Prince Lin Shaoshu, who had been engaged to Xiao Xuetang. The other was the eldest daughter of the Wang family, Wang Yueying...

Wang Yueying admires the Regent and is still unmarried at the age of 20. This is not uncommon in Kyoto.

However, Lin Xun still had no intention of getting married, and Lin Xun and the Wang family had been at odds over the years.

I don’t know if it’s because the lights in the Imperial Garden are too dim or for some other reason, but the faces of both of them looked ugly to varying degrees!

Lin Xun ignored Lin Shaoshu, but Lin Shaojin smiled and said, "Third brother, you have broken off the engagement with Xiao Xuetang. Men and women get married and have nothing to do with each other in the future. And just now, Lord Wen said that Xiao Xuetang should marry, but third brother was indifferent. Why are you anxious now that you heard that she is engaged to Uncle Wang?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Lin Shaoshu with a subtle expression.

If you say Lin Shaoshu is affectionate, she could only watch Xiao Xuetang marry to southern Xinjiang; if you say he is heartless, he could not bear the thought that Xiao Xuetang would marry Lin Xun.

Why is it Lin Xun!

Lin Shaoshu's eyes were gloomy...

He was confident that Xiao Xuetang would not marry and go to Southern Xinjiang. Even if she went to Southern Xinjiang, he could still snatch Xiao Xuetang back.

Only Lin Xun...

At this moment, Lin Shaojin, with a smile on his face, gave Lin Shaoshu the final blow.

"If I remember correctly, my third brother personally begged the grandmother to rescue Ye Jin from prison. I wonder when my third brother will invite the brothers to have a drink at the wedding."

When Ye Jin was mentioned, Lin Shaoshu's face changed instantly, and people around him began to talk in low voices.

No matter how tightly he kept the matter between Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin secret, some rumors inevitably spread. Not to mention, Ye Jin didn't want to stay in the mansion without any status, so he spread some rumors to force Lin Shaoshu to get married as soon as possible.

It just so happened that because of Ye Jin's incident, Lin Shaoshu, who always had a good reputation, had a flaw. These days he was in a dilemma about how to deal with Ye Jin.

If Marquis Wu'an were still alive, his marriage to Ye Jin would be the icing on the cake. But given the current situation, marrying Ye Jin would only lead to endless troubles. But if he doesn't marry her, not to mention that Ye Jin might be pregnant with his child, if he abandons Ye Jin when the Marquis Yong'an's Mansion loses power, he will inevitably be branded as a heartless and ungrateful person.

Now is the most critical moment for him to compete with the Eastern Palace for the throne, and there is absolutely no room for any mistakes!

In just a few moments, Lin Shaoshu's expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yue Wang has not yet married, so there is no rush for me."

"Is it……"

Lin Shaojin looked at Lin Shaoshu meaningfully, as if he saw something.

Lin Shaoshu's heart choked, and then he realized that he was being teased by Lin Shaojin and changed the subject!

"Uncle Wang, my father just issued an order two days ago to allow unmarried women from noble families to participate in the election of the Princess of Southern Xinjiang. Prince Jiumo's princess has not yet been decided. If you snatch Xiao Xuetang away now, it would be like stealing someone's love."

Lin Shaoshu spoke with a clear face, but when he mentioned the four words "stealing love", it was clear that he was hinting at something——

Only now did he realize Lin Xun's feelings for Xiao Xuetang. If it weren't for the interference, he and Xiao Xuetang would not have broken off the engagement.

As soon as Lin Shaoshu finished speaking, he heard a cold voice from behind Lin Xun: "I am the one who decided Tangtang's marriage. Does the Third Prince have any objection?"

Only then did everyone notice that there was someone following Lin Xun.

It's just that Lin Xun was too strong just now, and that man lowered his head. Everyone's eyes were on Lin Xun and they didn't notice him at all.

He was about forty years old, dressed in plain clothes, but still had a strong character. He had the elegance of a civil official and the uprightness of a military commander. This man was the son of Master Xie, the former Minister of Rites, Xie Yuhong!

The court officials gasped, and even Lin Shaoshu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Uncle?!"

As far as he knew, the one who returned to Kyoto from the Xie family was Xie Leihun, the least capable of the three uncles in the Xie family. Moreover, as a commoner, Xie Leihun was not qualified to attend the palace banquet tonight, and Lin Shaoshu had no intention of winning over Xie Leihun.

But what Lin Shaoshu did not expect was that Xie Yuhong, the most outstanding and promising son of the Xie family in the past, had quietly followed Lin Xun to today's palace banquet.

And they didn't receive any news in advance.

Xie Yuhong looked at Lin Shaoshu with a faint gaze, without much emotion, and Lin Shaoshu's heart sank.

In the past in Kyoto, although the Xie family kept their distance from him, Xie Yuhong was the most partial to him among his three uncles.

According to the original plan, Lin Shaoshu had already planned to put Xie Leiying in jail after hearing the news that the Xie family was about to be reinstated, sow discord between the Xie family and the Eastern Palace, and then take the opportunity to win over Xie Yuhong...

But he never expected that everything was beyond his expectations. Xie Leifeng did not fall for it, and Xie Yuhong suddenly entered the palace!

The ministers below were also surprised, but when they saw Xie Yuhong, they understood. It seemed that the previous rumors about the emperor wanting to restore the Xie family were true!

Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously looked at the former mortal enemy of the Xie family, the Prime Minister Wang Xian who now holds utmost power in the court.

Wang Xian's expression remained the same, and although Queen Wang, who had been irreconcilable with the Xie family in the past, did not look very happy, she suddenly felt better when she saw that Xie Yuhong ignored Lin Shaoshu.

Just now, Xie Yuhong's tone towards Lin Shaoshu was very bad. It seemed that the Xie family had a grudge against Lin Shaoshu because of the Xiao Xuetang incident.

This Xiao Xuetang is really a useful chess piece...

A trace of calculation flashed in the queen's eyes. At this time, the queen mother was a little unhappy to see the Xie family ignoring Lin Shaoshu. In order to protect Lin Shaoshu, the queen mother, who never asked about political affairs, actually said: "Although I don't understand political affairs, what the third prince said just now is right. We are a country of etiquette in Dayin. Since we promised to let the prince choose a princess from the noble ladies of the aristocratic families, we naturally cannot break our promise."

"As the saying goes, a guest should follow the host's wishes. If the Regent wants to choose a concubine, then he should wait until the Prince of Southern Xinjiang makes his choice..."

As soon as he finished speaking, even Emperor Yonghui gasped. Lin Shaojin stood up silently and pulled a palace maid to stand in front of him.

He had to prepare early to avoid getting blood all over his face.

"Oh, that's ridiculous!"

Lin Xun chuckled, and everyone felt that the temperature around them seemed to drop by several degrees immediately.

"Empress Dowager, our Great Yin is a great country. When will it be the turn of the barbarians to treat the noble ladies of our Great Yin family as commodities, to be picky, and to treat the 100,000 troops on the border as decoration?"

Lin Xun's sharp gaze swept around, and everyone instantly felt a murderous intent spreading around.

"If Nanjiang has no intention of peace talks, this king does not mind. I will put on my armor again and destroy the Nanjiang royal court."

As soon as the words fell, not only did he obey, but even the Prince of Southern Xinjiang, who had been careless all along, changed his expression slightly...

Lin Xun is so arrogant!

but……
