Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 294 The Emperor Conferred the Title of Lady Daiyu

The prince stood tall in the center of the field, tightly gripping the exquisite bow in his hand.

His smooth archery skills just now drew cheers from the palace maids and eunuchs.

After hearing this, the prince raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then turned around gracefully and clasped his hands together to show respect to his brother, the emperor, who was standing behind him.

He wanted to see if his royal brother was interested in coming over to shoot arrows.

However, what he had not expected was that the emperor gently raised his hand to signal him to continue.

In desperation, the prince had to pick up the bow and arrow on the ground again, took a deep breath, and steadily pulled the bowstring to a full moon shape.

Just as he was about to let go and let the sharp feather arrow fly out, a shadow suddenly came into his sight.

The prince was startled and quickly glanced around.

I saw that on an ancient tree above my brother's head, a branch had been weathered for a long time and was about to fall down.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everything became unusually slow.

But the prince reacted very quickly. He threw down the bow and arrow in his hand without hesitation and rushed towards the emperor like an arrow.

At the same time, he shouted loudly:

"Brother, get out of the way!"

The sound was deafening and echoed throughout the venue.

In the blink of an eye, the prince was beside the emperor. He stretched out his arms, hugged the emperor tightly, and used all his strength to bring the emperor to a safe place.

Behind them, the branch that was originally in danger finally couldn't bear its own weight. It fell heavily to the ground with a crisp "pop" sound, raising a cloud of dust.

Seeing this scene, the palace maids and eunuchs around were terrified and ran to the emperor to see if his Majesty was injured.

Fortunately, this sudden crisis did not cause any casualties.

After the dust settled a little, the prince let go of the emperor in his arms.

The palace maids and eunuchs beside him hurriedly asked the Emperor if he was injured anywhere.

Unexpectedly, the emperor stood still, stared at the prince intently, and laughed loudly for a long while before saying:

"Old Thirteen, you saved me again!

Good, good, you really are worthy of being my right-hand man!

I am so lucky to have a brother like you!"

After saying this, the emperor raised his hand slightly, signaling the eunuchs and palace maids beside him to return to the imperial study.

Then, the emperor slowly turned around, his eyes fell on the prince, and he said with a smile on his face:

"Old Thirteen, please come with me to the study. I have a great gift for you!"

However, unexpectedly, when the prince heard that the emperor was going to give him a big gift, he looked embarrassed.

He waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"Your Majesty, I cannot accept your kindness!"

Immediately afterwards, the prince suddenly took a step forward and knelt on his knees with a "thump" sound, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

The prince looked up at the emperor and shouted in a loud and firm voice:

"Over the years, I have been favored by the Emperor, and this is known to everyone in the court and the country.

But I have no other request in this life!

I just want Lin Daiyu to become my legitimate wife!

Not a concubine, not a side wife..."

Having said this, the prince paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued:

"I am willing to exchange the honor of my entire family for the title of Lin Daiyu's legal wife!

I hope my brother will help me!"

As soon as the words fell, the emperor was stunned for a moment, then burst into a hearty laugh:

"Hahahahaha..."

The laughter seemed to resound throughout the entire palace and echo in every corner.

After laughing, the emperor walked towards the prince, stretched out his hands, and lifted him up from the ground.

Then he turned to the palace maids and eunuchs around him and said with a smile:

"There are so many playboys in the world, but there is only one Prince Beijing!"

But even though the emperor personally helped the prince to his feet, the prince stubbornly knelt down again, showing no intention of getting up.

The emperor disagreed and said:

"Since you don't want an order, then I won't issue one!"

The prince suddenly realized that his brother had really agreed!

In the blink of an eye, he was beside the emperor, stretched out his hands respectfully, and personally supported the emperor's extremely noble body.

The two walked slowly and soon arrived at the imperial study.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, the emperor waved his hand gently. Seeing this, the palace maids and eunuchs serving beside him hurriedly bowed and left quietly.

In an instant, they were the only two people left in the room.

The emperor walked steadily to the desk, sat down gracefully, and reached out to take an exquisite brush.

I saw him dip the brush into thick ink and write as if an invisible force was flowing on the paper.

After a while, a poem with flying dragons and phoenixes appeared on the expensive brocade.

The prince took a closer look and found that it was a poem written by an ancient poet:

"There is still glory on the other side, so why lament the loss of youth?

You must know that if you have lofty ambitions since you were young, you will be the best in the world!

The emperor smiled and gently handed the silk in his hand to the prince.

The prince quickly stretched out his hands to take it, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

He looked at the exquisite handwriting carefully, his eyes full of reverence.

Then, he couldn't help but raise his right hand and run his fingers along the verses one by one.

Suddenly, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the prince.

After a long time, he slowly said:

"Old Thirteen, I know you are deeply in love with Daiyu.

However, being in a royal palace, I feel the most helpless against the imperial family!"

After saying this, the emperor slowly stretched out his hands and held the prince's hands tightly.

He paused slightly and said in a choked voice: "You have saved me from danger many times. I have a scale in my heart!" As he spoke, the emperor pointed to his chest.

Finally, the emperor stared at the prince intently and said in a negotiating tone:

"Old Thirteen, just consider it a favor to me.

In ancient times, there were Ehuang and Nvying, so let Lin Daiyu and Tong Jia serve you together!

Regardless of age, they are all equal wives, okay?

You have to consider the reputation of the entire Tonggiya clan, as well as the opinions of your two sons!"

Upon hearing this, the prince frowned and opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to argue something.

However, the emperor looked at him expectantly.

He could only nod slightly to show his agreement!

Yes, my son is growing up, and there is also the face of the entire Tonggiya family!

When the emperor saw the prince like this, his face immediately lit up with joy.

He called out to the eunuch on duty and said with a smile:

"Send the imperial edict to Zhang Yushu, ordering him to write down,

Prince Beijing, I would like to ask your concubine Lin,

The descendant of the third place in the imperial examination, he came from a prominent family.

Gentle, virtuous and respectful, with a quick-witted and intelligent nature.

The love left in the orchid garden and the deep affection for the old arrows.

May your family continue to prosper and your love last forever.

In compliance with His Majesty's decree, I now confer upon you the title of Princess Consort of Beijing."
