The night came, and it was already late.

   After dinner, everyone in the Lu Mansion went back to the courtyard to rest. Only Lu Mingyu was in the study, waiting for her father to return home.

   She waited until midnight.

 Lu Lin hurried all the way back to the mansion from the military camp a hundred miles away. He didn’t know how much sweat was on his forehead, but it was all dried by the wind, leaving only a few traces of sweat.

   “Xiaoyu,” as soon as Lu Lin entered the study, he hurriedly asked, “What happened?”

   If it wasn’t for an urgent matter, Lu Mingyu would never send a letter to the military camp.

  Lu Mingyu pursed the corners of her mouth: “Dad, sit down first and drink some clear tea to moisten your throat.” She personally handed the tea to her father and then twisted the handkerchief with the prepared warm water to wipe the sweat from Lu Lin’s forehead.

   Father and daughter had deep feelings and were very close. But Lu Mingyu was never gentle and caring, she spoke more neatly than men do.

   Being so gentle, considerate, and filial at this time, Lu Lin was moved, but his eyes were faintly red: “Xiaoyu! Don’t be afraid! Even if you got into a terrible disaster, Dad will definitely protect you.”

  Lu Mingyu: “…”

  I don’t know In just a short moment, Lu Lin made up so many stories.

  Lu Mingyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and sighed helplessly: “Dad, don’t think about it. I didn’t cause trouble. Today, a letter was sent to the military camp. It is indeed something to discuss with Dad.”

   She paused before continuing: “It’s my lifelong event.”

   It’s fine if you don’t get into trouble.

  Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief: “Do you want to marry the Second Prince?”

  Lu Mingyu: “…”

  Looking at Lu Mingyu’s indescribable expression, Lu Lin couldn’t help laughing: “In these days, the Second Prince often came to me to talk to me, and was very close to me. I guessed it.”

   The hairy-footed son-in-law was attentive!

   Who hasn’t come here from a young age?

  Lu Mingyu’s expression darkened slightly.

  Repay debts, pay for murder.  She owed her life to the Second Prince and will pay the debt with her body. After marrying him, she should do her best to help him ascend to the throne. In the future, she will not stop what kind of beauty the Second Prince wants to accept.

  These words, she hasn’t had time to tell the Second Prince. Come to think of it, the Second Prince thought so too!

   Instead of killing her to pay for his life and becoming an enemy of the Lu family, it was better to marry the Lu family, use the Lu family as help, establish himself as the Crown Prince, and ascend the throne in an upright manner.

   The Second Prince actually doesn’t have to be so thorough, making everyone think that he has a deep-rooted love for her.

Lu Lin glanced over Lu Mingyu’s slightly condensed face, and couldn’t help laughing: “Look at you, such a happy event, what are you doing with a sullen face? In front of Dad, you don’t have to cover up and pretend to be ashamed. Just making fun of you.”

  Lu Mingyu looked at his smiling father, and her mood was very complicated: “Father, do you really like this marriage?”

   Lu Lin replied without hesitation: “As long as you are willing, this father is willing. Not to mention marrying the Second Prince from the direct line, if you want to marry the concubine-born prince, I will also support it. If you want to recruit a son-in-law, I am also willing.”

   “Xiaoyu, as long as you are happy, everything is fine.”

  Lu Mingyu’s eyes felt warm, and tears suddenly burst out from her eyes.

  Lu Lin picked up a clean handkerchief and gave it to his daughter. He said sourly, “You’ve grown so big, and I haven’t seen you cry yet. Today, for the Second Prince, you cried so much with joy.”

The sourness in his tone that floated out was almost two miles long!

  Lu Mingyu was originally crying, but at this time she was amused and burst into laughter.

   Lu Lin smiled: “It’s right to laugh. Such a happy event should be celebrated.”

  Lu Mingyu sniffed and wiped away the tears with a handkerchief: “Father is right, I will not cry. Before the Emperor gives a decree for marriage, he will definitely ask Father to enter the Wenhua Hall again and inquire in person.”

   “At that time, Father please say that I would like to marry the Second Prince.”

  Lu Lin replied with a smile: “Don’t worry, Dad knows how to deal with it.”

  …

   Two days later, there was another great court meeting.

  After the end of the great court meeting, the Yongjia Emperor Xuan Xingyang had an audience.

  Lu Lin entered the Wenhua Hall and was about to fold his hands and clasp his fists in a salute, when Emperor Yongjia happily got up and walked forward, supported Lu Lin’s arm, and said, “Don’t be too polite, sit down and talk.”

   A posture of meeting in-laws in the future.

  Lu Lin thanked the Emperor for his grace and sat opposite Emperor Yongjia.

  Emperor Yongjia didn’t hesitate anymore when he opened his mouth again this time, and said with a smile, “King Xingyang, I called you here today because I wanted to ask you a question in person, and I would like to marry my beloved daughter to my Second Prince.”

  Lu Lin showed a hint of shame: “Your Majesty, the subject originally had selfish intentions and did not want his daughter to marry, so he wanted to keep her in the Lu family and be by his side for a long time.”

   “The Emperor was sincere and asked to marry the daughter of the minister for the Second Prince. The minister was moved, and there is no reason why he should not.”

Yeah!

   This was what a marriage proposal should look like!

  Emperor Yongjia was feeling suffocated for many days, and he suddenly calmed down and laughed, “Okay! Since you said that, I will order the marriage of the Second Prince and Fourth Miss Lu.”

“My Second Prince, you have met no less than a few times. In terms of origin, he is my direct son. In terms of appearance, I have several sons, and he is the most handsome. In terms of reading, he is very intelligent and capable of seeing ten things. The only regret is, that his talent for martial arts is mediocre, and he is not good at leading troops to fight.”

   “I heard that Fourth Miss Lu was born with divine power and amazing martial arts. In this way, the two complement each other perfectly and are a natural pair.”

  As he said, he laughed again.

   It can be seen that the mind was comfortable and extremely happy.

  Lu Lin also laughed for a while, but he didn’t know what to think when suddenly his tiger’s eyes turned red and tears rolled down.

  Emperor Yongjia was a little surprised, restrained his smile, and asked with concern: “Why are you crying on such a happy event?”

   This look doesn’t look like weeping with joy!

  Lu Lin wiped his tears with his sleeve, his voice a little hoarse: “In a few days, it will be Xiaoyu’s hairpin ceremony. When the minister thinks that his daughter will grow up and get married and will be a wife and a daughter-in-law, it’s like having his heart cut off.”

  Emperor Yongjia: “…”

  Marrying a daughter was indeed different from marrying a daughter-in-law.

  Emperor Yongjia remembered the scene when his eldest daughter, Princess Hui’an, got married, and he also sighed a little: “When my eldest daughter got married, I also felt sour and unpleasant in my heart.”

  Fortunately, the princess of the Royal family had a distinguished status. After getting married, she can live in the princess’s mansion, without having to serve her in-laws or deal with a difficult sister-in-law.

  Otherwise, how could he let his daughter suffer from being grinded to learn the rules?

  Lu Lin sighed: “I take the liberty of saying a few words from the heart. Xiaoyu’s marriage to the Second Prince is her blessing, and it is also the blessing of the Lu family.”

“This minister is only worried that Xiaoyu has been used to being straightforward and willful since she was a child, and her actions are also a bit reckless. She never knows how to give in. In the future, she will marry into the Royal family and be a daughter-in-law, with strict rules. With Xiaoyu’s temper, I’m afraid she will not be able to handle it. I don’t want her to suffer a little bit.”

   “I just lost my temper. I also ask the Emperor to forgive me for this fatherly heart.”

  Emperor Yongjia replied in a serious tone: “King Xingyang, you don’t have to worry too much. In the future, Fourth Miss Lu will become the Second Prince consort. Whoever dares to bully her, I will support her.”
