Chapter 426 I Will Never Let Her Go
The emperor listened to the concubine's suggestion, and his expression eased a little. He asked her, "Oh? Which daughter do you think is more suitable for the cold prince?"
Concubine Xian smiled at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the girls tonight, in addition to their different temperaments, are all very outstanding, and their talents are even more unique. It depends on what kind of temperament Your Majesty wants to choose for the prince of Han."
The emperor listened to the concubine's words, nodded, stroked his not very long beard, looked down and said: "I want to marry a girl with a gentle and generous personality for the cold prince. I wonder which daughter is more suitable?"
After hearing what the emperor said, the ministers who had daughters all stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am a reckless person and I am worried that she will offend the prince..."
She could be anyone’s wife, but to be Jiang Dichen’s wife, she had to be born with a destiny, so any minister with a conscience would not push his own daughter into the fire pit.
"Dad..." After those ministers implicitly rejected the emperor's intention, many girls shouted anxiously behind them.
But some people also recommended their own daughters.
The emperor had people write down the names of the recommended girls one by one, so that they could help his son carefully select one when he was free.
After all, Shen Ruolan was not worthy of his outstanding son. Moreover, she had secretly escaped from the palace and her reputation was ruined. She was even less worthy of being his son's princess.
Outside the palace, as soon as Jiang Dichen left the palace gate, Yan Mo couldn't wait to ask, "Master, do we really have to prepare the betrothal gifts now?"
You know, this place is extremely far from Nanshan. It takes at least 25 days for a one-way trip. If you really want to transport a large amount of betrothal gifts to Nanshan for the engagement, and then transport a large amount of dowry from Nanshan, it will be extremely troublesome.
Jiang Dichen stopped and said, "Of course we have to prepare the betrothal gifts, but for now, we should buy a house in the capital, so that when Ruolan and her son come, they will have a place to stay."
Jiang Dichen wanted the mother and son to come and live directly in his Prince Han's Mansion, but he knew Shen Ruolan, and she would never enter the door of his Prince Han's Mansion as long as he didn't marry her.
As for the betrothal gifts, Jiang Dichen planned to divide them into two parts. One part, which did not take up space and was easy to carry, would be taken to Nanshan for the betrothal gift, while the other part, which was inconvenient to carry, would be left in the capital. He believed that Ruolan would not blame him for this.
"Yes, master." Yan Mo replied.
The next day, the news that Jiang Dichen was going to marry Shen Ruolan spread somehow, and everyone in the streets and alleys of the capital was talking about the two of them.
At the Lan Yushi Mansion, after Lan Shurong got the news, she hurried back and said to her father, "Dad, have you heard? As soon as Prince Han came back yesterday, he wanted to marry Wanxi as his wife."
Lan Mao naturally knew that Prince Han wanted to marry the daughter of that unfilial son. Now that he saw his daughter coming back for this matter, he looked at her and asked, "If Prince Han wants to marry, then just marry her. Why are you so nervous?"
Although Lan Wanxi was a rebellious child, he was still her father. As long as she had a promising future, he would still be able to benefit from it. Therefore, he had no objection to this matter.
Seeing her father like this, Lan Shurong said anxiously, "Dad, Lan Wanxi can't come to Beijing. Otherwise, she will harm you and mother again. What should we do then?"
Lan Mao looked at his eldest daughter and said, "You think too much. As long as I don't provoke her, she won't do anything to us."
Although he hated Lan Wanxi in his heart, he also knew very well Lan Wanxi's attitude towards them. Otherwise, if she really wanted to harm them, they would have died hundreds of times already.
"But..." Lan Shurong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lan Mao: "Rong'er, go back if you are fine."
As Lan Mao finished speaking, the butler's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Sir, Miss Ruer is back."
When Lan Mao heard that his daughter had returned, he quickly said to the housekeeper, "Bring her in quickly."
Seeing this, Lan Shurong was not in a hurry to leave. She wanted to see if Lan Ruer's trip was going well.
Soon, the housekeeper of the Lan Mansion, with a ragged woman, came to Lan Mao and reported to him: "Sir, this is Miss Ruer."
When Lan Ruer saw her father, she suddenly burst into tears and bowed to her father, saying, "My child, I meet you, father."
Lan Mao looked at his daughter who looked as dirty as a beggar and asked with disgust, "What's wrong with you? Where's the other person?"
Lan Ruer said to her father: "Father, Xin'er is already married."
Lan Ruer never imagined that Shen Ruolan could be so cruel. Not only did she beat her up, but she also left her penniless on the official road, forcing her to beg all the way back.
When Lan Mao heard that Lan Xin was married, he immediately became furious and asked, "What? Who allowed her to get married?"
Although she is a concubine's daughter, if she wants to get married, she must get the consent of him and his wife. Her marrying without his permission is no different from eloping with someone.
Lan Ruer cried and said to her father, "Father, it was Shen Ruolan and Seventh Brother who decided for her to marry her off."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something. She raised her head and said to her father, "Father, I found my seventh brother. He was with my fifth sister. Maybe he did it."
When Lan Mao heard that his seventh son was still alive, he suddenly grabbed Lan Ruer from the ground and asked, "Are you telling the truth? Zhiying is still alive?"
Lan Ruer nodded vigorously and replied: "Seventh Brother is not only still alive, he also helps Shen Ruolan lead the troops and do things, which is very impressive."
After hearing what Lan Ruer said, Lan Mao suddenly laughed out loud, "Fortunately, fortunately God has eyes and left me a son."
After Lan Mao finished speaking, he suddenly burst into tears.
Son, he dreams of having a capable son.
It was a pity that after the accident to their family, the remaining young sons also died inexplicably, which made him disheartened. If it weren't for the fact that he had not yet taken revenge, he thought he would have given up long ago.
Lan Shurong, who was standing by, suddenly looked unhappy when she heard that she still had a younger brother who was not dead.
After seeing her father's attitude, she put away her dissatisfaction and scolded Lan Ruer: "Since Zhiying is not dead, why doesn't he come back with you?"
Lan Ruer looked at Lan Shurong who was asking her a question. She didn't want to answer. Seeing her father looking at her, she had to tell the truth: "Father, Seventh Brother said that he has sold himself to Fifth Sister. His surname is Shen and his name is Jing. He belongs to Fifth Sister and has nothing to do with the Lan family anymore."
Lan Mao was instantly furious after hearing what Lan Ruer said. "This damned evil girl actually made her brother a slave to her. I will never let her go."
Seeing that her father was finally dissatisfied with Shen Ruolan, Lan Shurong continued to exaggerate, "Dad, Fifth Sister is really too much. Before she marries into the palace, you should quickly teach her a lesson. Otherwise, let alone Seventh Brother, I'm afraid that even you will become her slave."
