Chapter 2302 It Makes Sense

"What the palace means is that it wants His Highness the Crown Prince and Cai Cai to get married."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Jin Lan was startled and almost spilled the water in the cup.

It was too sudden.

What a surprise.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.

"Is this matter settled?" he asked.

Hongdou shook his head: "It's not ten points, but it's eight points. Both the emperor and the empress agree, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also willing. Caicai... I think she is willing to do it."

Jin Lan smiled and said: "Cai Cai grew up in the palace since he was a child. He is closer than his family. He has always respected and relied on the Queen the most, so naturally he is willing."

"The queen specifically asked me what I meant, and said it would be best to discuss it with you. I thought you are Cai Cai's father after all, so you should know."

The empress asked her to come back to discuss it, but she had no intention of discussing it. She just felt that it was necessary to inform him.

Jin Lan knew in her heart that although she felt disappointed, she didn't show it.

Over the years, he has indeed owed them mother and daughter, and he has not fulfilled his parenting responsibilities as a father. I'm afraid even the emperor has seen Cai Cai more than him.

"If everyone in the palace is willing, we naturally have no objections. His Royal Highness's character and talent are obvious to all. His appearance is also rare. There are many nobles in the court who are thinking about this matter. Caicai can win the favor of the emperor and empress. It’s her blessing.”

Hongdou said: "Since you don't object, I will go back to the queen tomorrow. Let's settle this matter."

"Caicai is still young, so there's no rush."

"Really? When your family was about to give her to the Sun family, why didn't you say she was young?" Hongdou sneered, "The reason why the queen wants to settle this matter has something to do with the Sun family. The queen feels sorry for Cai Cai, How could your family understand His Royal Highness’s love and care for Cai Cai?”

Jin Lan felt extremely guilty.

Although it was his parents' decision, he was still sad.

Seeing that he was silent, Hongdou softened her tone and said, "The empress said that Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Cai Cai are not yet old enough to get married. We should make a decision in advance and talk about it in three to five years."

Jin Lan nodded: "This is a good thing. It is good for the previous dynasty and will calm people's hearts. Those people in the province are only thinking about the position of the crown princess and deliberately want to seduce their daughter to the empress and princess."

After a pause, he added: "It's good for Cai Cai. Once the matter is settled, the family will stop thinking about other things."

Anko said nothing.

There is a faint smell of sandalwood in the room.

Very quiet.

After the discussion was over, Jin Lan didn't want to leave, but he could see that Hongdou didn't want him to stay long.

"red beans……"

"Master Jin is busy with work, please come back now." Hongdou stood up to see off the guests.

Jin Lan had no choice but to leave.

He has already remarried, so what qualifications do he have to think about anything else?

After standing at the door for a while, he went to a wonton stall not far away and ate a bowl of wontons to fill his stomach before slowly going home.

When he got home, he told Mr. Jin and Mrs. Jin about the matter.

When the old couple heard the news, they were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.

"Is it accurate?" Master Jin asked.

"Yes. The Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince both agree, and Caicai is also willing. In a few days, the palace will probably start the engagement process."

Mrs. Jin recited Amitabha Buddha repeatedly: "This is the Jin family's good fortune. The Jin family has been waiting for it for many years, and finally there will be a middle palace queen."

This matter has almost become an obsession of the Jin family.

"Why is it decided?" Mr. Jin walked back and forth in the room excitedly, "I thought that over the years, the empress has raised Caicai as a daughter, and the prince has treated her as a sister. I thought there was no hope for this matter. It’s over…”
