Master Zhen read out: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered: Ming Xiulin, the daughter of the Ming Mansion, is quiet, gentle, wise, virtuous, and gentle. She is gentle and gentle. She is immediately given a marriage to Shao Chicheng, the young master of Shaorong Villa. The following year, she chose auspicious marriage to get married. I admire this!"

"I received the order and thanked the Lord for your kindness. Long live my emperor!" Ming Wanjin carefully took over the imperial order, and was surprised and happy. What was surprised was that the marriage was an unexpected surprise, and what was happy was that he could marry the second-ranked Zhuang in the world. This was beneficial or harmless to him.

"Haha, Ming's Right Prime Minister, the joy will come after one day! Sa's family still has something to do, so say goodbye." Eunuch Zhen smiled very happily.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhen, for your noble words. This is why Ming will not try to keep me, so I will send you off to Grandpa Zhen." Ming Wanjin smiled and thanked him, hurriedly sent them out of the mansion.

The people present spoke out to congratulate the second lady. Ming Xiuping was happy for her sister: "Sister, congratulations to you. Mom will definitely be very happy when she knows it!"

Nai Chunqiao initially thought it was given a marriage to a prince, but that Shaorong Villa is also very good, the second-ranked village in the world, and it is so rich. After hearing the master mentioned it, it has an indefinite relationship with the royal family. She stepped forward and smiled at Ming Xiulin and said, "Xulin, congratulations to you, aunt. Shaorong Villa is the second-ranked village in the world. If you can marry into it, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in your life."

Ming Xiulin had no surprise on her face, and seemed to have a sense of disappointment. She replied coldly to Nai Chunqiao, "Thank you, aunt", glanced at the congratulations of the servants, turned around and walked out.

Ming Xiuping didn't know why her sister was unhappy, so she followed her and asked, "Sister, you don't seem to want to marry the young master of Shaorong Villa?"

"Sister, are you willing?" Ming Xiulin asked without answering a question. Ming Xiu Ping hurriedly shook her head and said, "Ping'er is still young. Her parents will make decisions for Ping'er." But she said in her heart: What kind of young master of Shaorong Villa can have more money than the royal family? Can wealth and glory be compared with the royal family? I, Ping'er, either don't marry, and if I want to marry, marry the third prince.

"Haha." Ming Xiulin burst into laughter, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes. How could she not notice her sister's thoughts? That was also her dream. What about Shaorong Villa, the second-ranked village in the world? It was not what she thought. Her thoughts had long been hooked away by the second prince. She only hoped that the sister's interest was another prince. At present, she had to have a good talk with her father.

In the study, "Dad, can you break off the engagement for Lin'er?" Ming Xiulin said bluntly. Ming Wanjin had not yet reminisced about the joy, and heard this and said in surprise: "Lin'er, why is this?"

Ming Xiulin said: "Dad, although Shaorong Villa is the second most popular villa in the world, it is rich enough to rival a country, and marrying it can be considered as wealth and honor. However, there is someone who has chosen her daughter, but she is not the young master of Shaorong Villa."

Ming Wanjin was even more surprised when he heard this: "Lin'er, you rarely leave the house on weekdays, how could anyone have chosen it? Could it be that you were secretly meeting someone with your parents on your back?" When he said the last sentence, his face darkened and his tone increased a little.

"Dad, Lin'er has always followed the rules and followed her parents' teachings, and never did anything despised." Ming Xiulin and Ming Xiulin hurriedly explained. He hesitated for a moment, and plucked up the courage to say, "Dad, the candidate in my daughter's heart is... the second prince. My mother has long known it."

"What? The second prince's curtain song?" Ming Wanjin was surprised. His daughter actually fell in love with the second prince! After thinking for a moment, he directly rejected his daughter's idea, "Lin'er, the emperor has given marriage, and he cannot resist marriage. Not only is the father, but the entire Ming Dynasty cannot afford it."

"Dad, no matter how you say you are a right-right prime minister, the emperor can't force others to do anything. My daughter will go to school next spring, so I'll ask my father to use the remaining time to think of a way to break off the engagement for her daughter." Ming Xiulin was a little anxious. Every time she entered the palace, she could only watch the second prince from afar. The annual autumn and winter hunting activities, as a female family member and an unmarried lady, she still had to wait and see like other female members, not get close to her. The two conversations with the second prince were limited to the banquet last year. The more she did this, the more her eyes were locked in the second prince. She was unwilling to marry someone else.

Ming Wanjin looked at her gentle and gentle daughter and said earnestly: "Lin'er, you heard from my father that although Shaorong Villa is not a royal family, it plays a significant influence and role in Tang and Song State. The economic lifeline of Tang and Song State can be said to be in the hands of the four famous villages, among which Leiting Villa and Shaorong Villa are the leaders. This is also the annual palace banquet and autumn and winter hunting activities. The four famous villages will be invited. The emperor definitely does not dare to underestimate them, but respects them a little. Lin'er, the emperor must have the intention of giving marriage. As subjects, we should be willing to serve the emperor..."

"Dad, you are the official of the court, but your daughter is not. Your daughter is just a girl. What you want is to find someone you love, the husband and wife follow you, and enjoy the joy of taking care of your husband and children. The emperor's intention should not be allowed to be understood." Ming Xiulin was bold and said the rebuttal.

Ming Wanjin's face was slightly dark, and she rebuked: "Lin'er, you are the most sensible and smartest on weekdays, why are you confused today? Do you know that even other princes have to give up two points to Shaorong Villa? How much do you know about the background of Shaorong Villa? Do you think marrying into the royal family means wealth and glory for a lifetime? How much do you know about the invisible murderous struggle in the palace?"

Ming Xiulin lowered her head aggrievedly and said nothing, her eyes were a little red. Ming Wanjin loved her eldest daughter the most. There were so many invisible killers in the dark. He had been an official for many years, so how could he not understand? He was reluctant to send his eldest daughter to that place.

To ease his tone, Ming Wanjin pulled his daughter and said, "Lin'er, you are the daughter you love the most. Dad also knows that you are smart and clever, but Dad's expectation for you is that you hope that you will marry a good family in the future and live a peaceful and happy life. The young master of Shaorong Villa has heard of it, and he has seen it once. He is handsome and extraordinary, two years older than you, and has a good character. He is one of the best candidates for being a husband. Lin'er marrying him is happier than marrying any prince. Dad doesn't want Lin'er to live in trouble in the future. Lin'er, do you understand his hard work?"

"Dad..." Ming Xiulin stared at her father's loving eyes and kind face, feeling a little confused, and also a little disappointed. As a lady in the official family, she could not control her lifelong affairs by herself, but more importantly, her father did not say it out loud. It was probably because of her illegitimate identity that she could not be given a marriage to the prince as the prince's concubine. When she thought of her identity, she couldn't help but hate Ming Xixi who was sent away.
