Chapter 2303 Engagement, Dragon Boat Festival
Jin Lan said calmly: "Because he felt there was no hope, so my father used an inkstone to sell Caicai to the Sun family?"
Mr. Jin was stunned and became angry: "That's just a joke. No matter how bad our Jin family is, we won't sell our granddaughter!"
Jin Lan did not contradict her father again, but she looked obviously dissatisfied.
Master Jin's anger was soon replaced by joy that the Jin family was about to have a queen.
He rubbed his hands and walked back and forth: "This is a big event, a huge happy event. We must hold a big banquet and celebrate. Since the old man passed away, those disciples have not visited for a long time. This time they must all be called and let them You know, the Jin family has not fallen and will never fall."
Jin Lan frowned: "It's just an engagement, so don't make it too public. Let's talk about it when we get married in the future."
"What do you know? This is the Jin family's opportunity!"
"Dad, maybe he forgot that Caicai can hardly be considered a child of the Jin family..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? She is your daughter, and she has the blood of the Jin family. Once her surname is Jin, she will always be surnamed Jin!" Mr. Jin said, "I will send a carriage to bring her back tomorrow. After the engagement, you can't I just go out and run around at will. I should teach them the rules these days, otherwise how will I be able to take on the important responsibility of the Sixth Palace in the future?"
Jin Lan sneered: "You have a lot to think about. Caicai is not close to the family, and because of the Sun family's affairs last time, she also felt cold towards you and her mother. It's strange that she is willing to come back. You are afraid that you will be involved. I can no longer live up to my granddaughter’s glory.”
"No matter what, she is the legitimate daughter of the Jin family. If you don't go, I will pick her up in person tomorrow. I want to see if she will give me the respect of my grandfather!"
Master Jin rolled up his sleeves and left.
The back looks high-spirited, and the steps are a little brisk.
Jin Lan shook his head.
If we had known today, why bother in the beginning?
He really treats the girls in the family one after another as tools for the family's glory.
Jin Lan also saw through it.
Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor decreed that the marriage between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Canglan was decided.
The government and the public were in an uproar. Although it was unexpected, there was nothing to comment on.
Although Princess Canglan was favored because of Lady Wei's relationship with the empress, her original status was not low. The direct daughter of the Jin family is still qualified to be a crown princess.
It's just that those nobles who focused on raising their daughters and competing for the position of crown princess were disappointed.
But there is no chance.
It is impossible for a prince to have only one concubine. When he ascends the throne in the future, he will still have to hire many concubines. There are plenty of opportunities.
After all, not all men can be like His Majesty the Emperor, who has only been in love with the Queen for more than ten years.
There was an uproar over this matter for a while, and then it slowly subsided.
On the contrary, the court became more peaceful, and no one was worried about the position of the Crown Princess all day long.
In a few days, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival.
Early in the morning, the palace people put on python robes with mugwort and moxa, visited calamus and mugwort, and hung the Celestial Master's painting screen.
Although the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated every year, Yun Dai is still happy to see the lively atmosphere in the palace.
She led the palace people to personally make realgar wine, make rice dumplings, and make purse items to ward off evil spirits.
Early in the morning, the emperor and King Qin set out for the army to watch the soldiers hold a willow shooting competition.
This is also a long-standing custom in the military. Over the years, wars have continued, and the willow shooting competition has been suspended for a long time. In order to reward and stabilize the morale of the army, Zhao Yuanjing and Zhao Shu had discussed long ago that they would hold a good contest in the army, and the winner would be rewarded very generously.
