Chapter 406: Not a Bride, Be an Old Mother 4
“You are King Pingyang.”
Lin Chunhuan naturally recognized Xiao Cen, but this was the first time they met in this life.
Lin Chunhuan actually had a very weak impression of her father-in-law in her previous life. In her memory, this man was either working in the military camp or discussing matters in the palace. Even when he returned to the palace, he would stay in the study all day long. Here, few people are seen in several households.
On the rare occasions when they met, Xiao Cen's mood was also very cold.
He almost didn't care about Xiao Jinan's affairs. He just buried himself in official duties all day long and didn't care about anything else. He didn't know what he was planning.
Not getting a response from Xiao Cen, Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips. In fact, from the bottom of her heart, she was somewhat grateful to Xiao Cen. After she was thrown back to the Lin family by Xiao Jinan in her last life, she heard that Xiao Cen returned to the palace. I got so angry.
A whip almost beat Xiao Jinan half to death.
Even if it was just a show, she was still grateful.
After all, even her biological father could not do this.
Xiao Cen's reaction was strange.
He did not respond to Lin Chunhuan's words, and did not even dismount. He just sat on the horse and stared at Lin Chunhuan's eyes, a little confused, but also seemed to be confirming something.
In the end, the guards around him reminded him several times, and after Xiao Cen came to his senses and explained the whole story he had learned, Xiao Cen put down his riding whip and strode towards Lin Chunhuan. Come.
"I have already heard about the matter. My son is incompetent, so I still hope for Miss Lin. No wonder."
Lin Chunhuan blinked, she felt the way Xiao Cen looked at her A little strange, apologetic, scared, and a little bit deeply hidden...surprise?
Although this trace of joy disappeared quickly, Lin Chunhuan kept staring at Xiao Cen's eyes, and she was sure that she would not be wrong.
Lin Chunhuan can understand the guilt and fear. After all, it was Xiao Jinan who deceived others too much, and Xiao Jinan is his son!
But what does surprise mean?
However, he did not reach out to hit the smiling person. Xiao Cen apologized politely as soon as he came up. Lin Chunhuan no longer had a bad temper and responded politely, "I have met the prince."
< br>"The prince came back at the right time."
Lin Chunhuan raised her chin slightly, and looked at Xiao Cen in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "The Holy Father has granted me a marriage, but the groom is nowhere to be seen, so I dare to ask."
"Is Prince Pingyang going to openly resist the decree?"
Lin Chunhuan's tone was sharp, and the atmosphere was supposed to be tense, but Xiao Cen just stared at the person in front of him. After Lin Chunhuan's words fell for a long time, he suddenly came to his senses, "What?"
"Yes, he deserves to be beaten!"
Lin Chunhuan: "???"
The guard next to Xiao Cen slapped him on the forehead. He admitted that Miss Lin was very good-looking.
Well, it’s not ordinary good-looking, that face is a beauty that should never appear in the world again!
But your majesty, even if you meet a beauty, you won’t become so worthless!
"Your Majesty!"
The guard pinched Xiao Cen, "Miss Lin wants to solve today's matter."
"You'd better send someone quickly to find the prince!"
The guard was so anxious that sweat dripped down his chin. When Xiao Cen heard this, he frowned very unhappy. He raised his eyebrows and even waved his sleeves to wave the guard aside, "What do you want from that unfilial son?"
"Since he doesn't want the marriage himself, then that's it. Miss Lin is right, the Holy Father only mentioned Xiao Jialang, and did not specify him as Xiao Jinan. There are many sons of the Xiao family. ""He is not willing to marry the daughter of the Lin family, but there are many people who are willing."
Now, it was not just Lin Chunhuan who had a question mark on his head.
People all over the street have question marks on their heads.
What does it mean that the Xiao family has so many sons?
Other than Xiao Jinan, the only son of the Xiao family in Prince Pingyang’s mansion is Xiao Cen. There are so many of them!
"Miss Lin." Xiao Cen didn't care about the reactions of others. He stepped forward and saluted Lin Chunhuan, who was looking at a loss. "You are right. Since it is a marriage granted by the Holy Father, my Xiao family will definitely not accept it. I will resist the decree."
"Xiao knows that he owes the girl today. There is still a vacancy for the princess in the Pingyang Palace. I wonder if Miss Lin is willing to give in?"
"Ah?"
Although Lin Chunhuan's initial thought was that there was nothing wrong with marrying Xiao Cen.
But what she thought at first was that she would understand Xiao Cen's inhumane secret with reason and emotion, and then continue to put pressure on her by resisting the decree. Finally, she revealed a little bit that she knew Xiao Cen's inhumane secret, and she He said he would not make any noise.
Using this to break Xiao Cen's psychological defense, he presses forward step by step, and finally becomes the princess.
When Xiao Jinan appeared three days later, he found that his bride was gone and he had a mother. Just thinking about Lin Chunhuan made her feel happy.
But now...
Although the results are similar to what she thought.
But the process is too different!
Didn’t it mean that the Holy Father even threatened Xiao Cen with dismissal from his post and a reduction in rank, but this man refused to marry?
Is it possible that everything she heard in her previous life was false?
Just when Lin Chunhuan fell into self-doubt, Xiao Cen quickly said: "Don't worry, Miss Lin, there are no concubines in Xiao's house. The back house is clean. After passing the house, the princess will naturally be in charge of the middle house, and there will be no mess." This troubles the girl."
The corner of Lin Chunhuan's mouth twitched.
The way Xiao Cen looks now, he really looks like a salesman who is trying his best to sell himself.
"I...that's not what I meant." Lin Chunhuan hesitated and scratched her head. She could use coercion and inducement, but when the other party took the initiative, she felt a little embarrassed. "The prince is really willing to work with me. I'm getting married?"
Xiao Cen seemed to have realized that his behavior was a little too proactive until now.
He coughed twice with a somewhat uncomfortable expression, and then lowered his tone as if to make up for it, "It is the fault of a son not to teach his father. Since it is Xiao Jinan's fault, as a father, I have no choice but to do what he needs to do for him. . ”
“After all, no one can bear the serious crime of resisting the imperial decree.”
The guard on the side looked as if he had seen a ghost.
That’s not what you said when you were competing with the emperor in the Jinluan Palace to see who had the toughest life!
"Okay." Lin Chunhuan raised his head, glanced at Xiao Cen again, and reluctantly agreed to the reason, "Then let's..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Cen had already understood the meaning and immediately waved his hand, "Open the door and marry the princess!"
Since you are marrying the princess, the specifications are of course completely different from marrying the prince's concubine. Pingyang Palace, which had been completely dead for a moment, came to life almost instantly.
The bright red ribbons and lanterns were quickly hung up, and the red carpet and flower petals complemented each other, exuding bursts of fragrance. As for the wedding ceremony, it was even more of a trivial matter.
