Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 302: Prince Daiyu Enters the Palace

In the spacious and solemn front hall of Prince Beijing's Mansion, the atmosphere was extremely solemn at this time.

The prince was dressed in gorgeous clothes and respectfully led Daiyu and others to kneel on the cold and hard ground.

They stood upright with their heads lowered, quietly waiting for the eunuch to announce the decree.

In this silence, the eunuch Wang stepped forward steadily, stopped, cleared his throat, and then shouted in his exceptionally loud voice:

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees, Prince Beijing, I 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 am now canonized as the Consort of Prince Beijing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Wang paused for a moment, then raised his voice again and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"The Emperor has issued an oral order; Prince Beijing is to bring his newly appointed Consort Lin to the palace immediately!

Let’s discuss the wedding arrangements together! I decree it!”

Upon hearing this, the prince's body trembled violently, and he could hardly contain his excitement.

He quickly knocked his head heavily to the ground, shouting "Thank you, my royal brother, for your help!"

Jiaorou and the others immediately followed the prince and shouted:

"I am so grateful to you, Your Majesty!"

After bowing, the prince did not stand up, but remained kneeling, continuing to kowtow to express his gratitude with joy.

After calming down a little, the prince quickly turned around and whispered to Xiao Luzi beside him:

"Go get some reward money quickly and reward this eunuch well. Don't neglect him!"

After receiving the order, Xiao Luzi trotted away.

Soon he returned to the hall with a tray full of silver, and presented it respectfully to Eunuch Wang.

At this moment, Daiyu seemed to have lost her soul, and became stupid and foolish.

She knelt on the ground like a wooden man, her eyes blank, listening quietly to Eunuch Wang reading out the imperial edict aloud.

Everyone around her knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude, but Daiyu seemed to have lost consciousness and just followed everyone's movements mechanically.

It seems as if everything happening in front of me is other people's business and has nothing to do with me!

She instantly looked up at the prince, only to see that he was looking at her with a beaming face.

The uncontrollable joy was beyond words.

"Am I...am I going to become the principal wife now?"

Daiyu murmured in disbelief in her heart,

"This all happened so quickly and so suddenly, could it really not be a dream?"

At this moment, Jiaorou discovered that Daiyu was still in a daze.

He quickly winked at her and urged softly:

"Sister, hurry back to your room and change into your court attire. You'll have to go to the palace with the prince to see him later."

After hearing Jiao Rou's reminder, Daiyu came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream.

She hurried to the prince and told him in a low voice that she had to go back to her room to change clothes first.

Then, Daiyu bowed slightly to Eunuch Wang, performed a standard greeting, and then walked quickly towards the room hand in hand with Jiaorou.

When Daiyu arrived at the front hall, the maids and servants here hurriedly knelt down to greet her, and everyone shouted: "Greetings to the lady, may the lady be blessed with good fortune!"

Daiyu hurriedly smiled and asked everyone to stand up, and asked Xiaowan and the others to take out some reward money for everyone!

But I feel that all this happened too suddenly!

At this moment, the eunuch Wang who was delivering the imperial decree saw Daiyu coming out and said with a smile:

"Prince Beijing, let's go to the palace quickly!

Your Majesty is still waiting!"

After saying this, the prince took Daiyu's hand, and under the envious eyes of everyone, the two of them rode in a carriage and walked towards the palace together.

On the other side, the eldest lady saw that everyone had abandoned her for some unknown reason, so they all left.

Just when she was lost in thought, Cai Lian suddenly came over slowly with her lovely son.

From a distance, the children saw their mother squatting alone on the freezing ice.

In an instant, the children's hearts were in their throats, and they cried out at the top of their lungs:

"Mother!

Oh my god!

Don't you want us anymore?

I want my mother..."

The heart-wrenching cry was like a sharp sword piercing the heart of the eldest lady.

When the eldest wife heard the children crying like that, her heart was broken.

Looking at the prince and the others, they just responded perfunctorily with a few words, then turned and left without looking back.

At this moment, the eldest wife suddenly realized how stupid she was!

She was extremely anxious and like a madman, she stumbled towards the river bank on the dangerous ice surface without hesitation.

Because she was too panicked, she almost slipped several times, but her concern for the children kept her going forward.

Cai Lian saw that the eldest lady was moved by the children's cries, and quickly signaled the two children to stay where they were and wait.

Then she and Xiao Lingzi stepped forward quickly and worked together to pull the eldest lady from the icy river to the safe shore.

When the eldest wife was finally rescued and brought ashore, the two children flew into her arms like wild horses.

In an instant, tears flowed freely like a flood breaking through a dam.

The mother and her two children hugged each other tightly and cried bitterly. Cai Lian and Xiao Lingzi also shed tears.

The eldest wife gently raised her hand and carefully wiped away the crystal tears on her eldest son Hongxuan's cheek.

His gaze then shifted to Hongjin, who was only three years old beside him.

Looking at the two little faces in front of her with snot and tears, the eldest wife could no longer suppress her inner sadness.

Tears fell like pearls from a broken string, soaking her clothes.

Cailian stood aside with a distressed look on her face, and said softly:

"Fujin, you have to be more open-minded!

If anything happens to you, what will happen to the children? You have to think about the children no matter what!"

As she spoke, Cailian could not help but reach out and gently hold the arm of the first wife, saying softly:

"No matter what, your servant will accompany you!"

After hearing what Cailian said, the first wife suddenly felt that the man she loved was not as caring as a maid!

Her lips trembled slightly and she nodded, indicating that she understood Cai Lian's painstaking efforts.

Then, she slowly turned around, her eyes scanning the two well-behaved and lovely children one by one, her heart filled with endless reluctance and concern.

Finally, the eldest wife took a deep breath, suppressed her inner grief, took the children's hands, and walked towards the room step by step.

Along the way, she secretly swore in her heart: She didn't care about the position of Fu Jin, but she would never give birth to the child in Lin Daiyu's belly!

Every step she took seemed to use up all her strength, but she never looked back, for fear that if she looked back she would burst into tears again.
