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

Xiao Xuetang came over and looked at the red in the room, feeling a little dazed.

I had heard my aunt say that she only considered the proposal as a formality, but I really didn't expect that even the old princess would come. No wonder my second aunt pulled her to change clothes...

At this moment, her hand was suddenly grabbed by someone. When she looked up, she saw a woman with elegant and graceful appearance!

"What a beautiful child..."

The princess, who was originally very picky about Xiao Xuetang, suddenly became fascinated after seeing Xiao Xuetang. She held Xiao Xuetang's delicate and tender hands and said, "Good child, come to my manor to play when you have time. I will personally draw a picture of a beauty for you."

The eldest princess was obsessed with painting, especially beauties. It was no secret in Kyoto. But on the day of the engagement party, she held the girl's hand tightly. Lin Xun did not show it on his face, but it was obvious that his temperament had dropped.

The eldest princess inexplicably felt a chill on her back, and happened to meet Lin Xun's slightly cold gaze, feeling both amused and helpless.

She is jealous? The possessiveness of this regent is too strong. This little beauty is simply a lamb walking into the tiger's mouth.

The eldest princess was somewhat dissatisfied with this marriage, mainly because she felt that Lin Xun was not worthy of Xiao Xuetang.

She deliberately said, "I've heard that this girl from the Xiao family is a famous beauty. Now it seems that she really lives up to her reputation. The prince is really lucky. No wonder he personally asked for permission to marry her."

Normally, the princess wouldn't dare tease Lin Xun, but today is special.

Hearing the teasing voice of the wife of Marquis Wu'an, the usually steady Xiao Xuetang showed a rare hint of shyness on his face, and stepped forward to greet everyone in turn.

There was a little joke when they were meeting each other. Maybe there were too many elders and she felt a little nervous, so she actually bowed to Lin Xun.

The usually calm regent was also stunned for a moment, and then the eldest princess took the lead in joking: "This child...when he gets married in the future, he will have to pay respect to his husband. Remember this gift today and ask him to return it in the future."

Originally, the Xie family was a little nervous when they saw the eldest princess coming in person, but they never expected that she would be so approachable and they no longer hesitated.

However, Xiao Xuetang's face turned redder than the wedding character pasted on the box when the eldest princess teased her about her husband. Lin Xun pulled Xiao Xuetang to sit next to him to block everyone's teasing sight.

His face remained calm and composed, as if he was unmoved by the eldest princess's joking word "husband".

Only Xiao Xuetang observed closely that someone's beautiful phoenix eyes today seemed to be deeper than before...

……

Almost half of the people in Kyoto witnessed the high-profile marriage proposal from the Prince Regent's Palace, and it was impossible for Mu Xingyun, who lived next door to the Xie family, not to have heard anything.

The laughter and joyful chatter seemed to penetrate every pore and reach the ears of Mu Xingyun who was meditating in the secret room.

Even though he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Mu Xingyun could almost imagine the boxes with the Chinese character "囍" on them being carried into the Xie family's home.

Xiao Xuetang stood behind the elders, looking at Lin Xun shyly.

Just thinking about it, the jealousy is like a thousand ants gnawing at my heart...

Why?

It was clearly him who saved her from hell and was kind to her, and they had known each other for many years, so why did she never want to belong to him?

Mu Xingyun only felt a surge of blood in his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood amid Yi Guang's scream.

When he opened his eyes again, they were also blood red.

"Master, calm down."

Yi Guang exclaimed, "You are at your weakest right now, you must not go crazy."

Yi Guang is Mu Xingyun's most loyal guard. He knows that although Mu Xingyun looks strong, his physical condition is actually very bad and he has to practice in seclusion every month.

It is said that this is the retribution for forcing oneself to go against the will of heaven...

"So what if I'm possessed by a demon, hahaha..."

"Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go. We are destined to be entangled together in this life after life!"

However, according to the secret book, he went against the will of heaven, and this was his last chance...

In this life, he absolutely could not watch Xiao Xuetang marry someone else again.

"Bring the slave to see me."

Mu Xingyun's voice sounded particularly strange in the empty secret room where the nine-headed bird was enshrined.

Because the Prince Regent's Mansion went to the Xie family to make the decision in such a high-profile manner, not only Mu Xingyun but also Lin Shaoshu stayed awake all night!

Today can be considered as Lin Shaoshu's big day, but there is no joy on his face. He drinks alone in the pavilion, leaving Ye Jin alone in the empty room.

After getting drunk, he searched the yard for crabapple flowers - the crabapple flowers in the yard had been removed by Lin Shaoshu's order a month ago.

Ruyi followed Lin Shaoshu and served him. Seeing Lin Shaoshu like this, she sighed in her heart.

This Miss Xiao just got engaged, but her master has already started to make a fuss. What will happen if they get married in a month?

But if I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place.

……

Xiao Xuetang was unaware of this farce. After the engagement banquet, the old princess took the couple's horoscopes to the Huguo Temple and gave them to Master Yuan.

The horoscopes for the two were calculated, which indicated a perfect marriage and a peaceful and prosperous life. The auspicious date chosen was the 18th of next month.

The fortune and the auspicious date for the wedding were written by Master Liaoyuan on bright red wedding paper with dragon and phoenix patterns and sent to the Regent's Palace. The gold ink was brilliant and carried an auspicious omen.

Lin Xun was in a good mood and put away the red paper. After a moment, he told Tianshu, "Remove half of the people who are watching the Huguo Temple."

"Yes."

As soon as Tianshu left, someone came from the palace and asked Lin Xun to enter the palace immediately.

It looks like something urgent.

When Lin Xun entered the palace, Emperor Yonghui did not say anything. He stared at Lin Xun for a long time before asking, "Has the wedding date been set?"

Lin Xun said, "Yes, the day chosen by Master Liaoyuan himself is the eighteenth of next month."

Emperor Yonghui snorted with an ambiguous tone.

The usually low-key Regent went to the Xie family to propose marriage so ostentatiously yesterday. He had heard about it in the palace. This Lin Xun was simply...

Getting more and more unstable!

Moreover, during the morning court today, several censors accused the Regent of being arrogant, domineering, extravagant, etc.

Extravagant means that it was because Lin Xun sent too much betrothal gift to Xie family. As for arrogant and domineering, it was just because Lin Xun's marriage proposal convoy happened to collide with Lin Shaoshu's wedding sedan chair.

In comparison, the Third Prince Lin Shaoshu's marriage was so shabby that it seemed like a joke!

After hearing the whole story, Lin Xun glanced at Emperor Yonghui. His deep and cold eyes made Emperor Yonghui feel numb.

After a moment, Lin Xun said in a cold and unceremonious voice: "He only married a concubine, how can he compare with me."

Emperor Yonghui...

Well, it’s definitely not comparable.

After all, Lin Xun has made real contributions to the country and the people over the years.

Moreover, the concubine Lin Shaoshu actually had a lot of problems. Emperor Yonghui was not very satisfied with her, but there was nothing he could do since Lin Shaoshu and the Empress Dowager liked her...

Emperor Yonghui summoned Lin Xun not for this matter. He just mentioned it briefly and then let it go. This time he came for another matter that was giving him a headache!

Lin Shaoshu's title...
