Chapter 363: Pooh in Your Face
Concubine Lin then said: "I heard that the princess refused to marry her to your mansion today——"
Madam Protector suddenly turned her head to look at her and sneered, "Concubine Lin has such good eyes and ears. Could it be that you came here late at night to see a joke?"
Concubine Lin smiled softly, "Mrs. Protector, I have misunderstood. I have always been very fond of Miss Qingluan in my house. It is too late to feel distressed. How can I see a joke?"
"If you ask me, the princess is too dishonest. She dragged Miss Qingluan until she was eighteen years old for her own son's hard work, and now she kicks her away. It's really too much of a lie."
Madam Protector snorted coldly, "It turns out that Concubine Lin came here specifically to build a bridge and put out the fire!"
Concubine Lin smiled softly and said, "Mrs. Protector of the Country has misunderstood. I came today to ask for my son's hand in marriage to Miss Qingluan, the daughter of the royal family."
As soon as she finished her words, Madam Protector stood up and stared at Concubine Lin, "If I remember correctly, the eldest son of the palace has already married someone else, and now he is remarrying!"
"You want my daughter who was raised by me to be the second wife of your son? Bah!" Madam Protector spat in Concubine Lin's face unceremoniously.
What the hell, a concubine from a prince's palace dares to miss her daughter, and still renew her relationship!
Concubine Lin did not dodge, she calmly wiped the saliva from her face, and said slowly: "Madam Protector, don't be upset, just listen to me."
"My Xuan'er is only twenty-one years old this year, which is exactly the same age as Miss Qingluan."
"Although it is a second marriage, there is no son and a half daughter in front of her, so she is no different from the original wife."
"Besides, although my son is not the eldest son, the prince has already agreed to my request and will soon grant Xuan'er a title. In this way, Xuan'er's status should be worthy of Miss Qingluan."
Madam Protector sneered, "It's just a title, and the emperor won't grant you a fief, so what's the use?"
Just like her, although she was granted the title of Protector of the Country, her status was extremely noble, and she received a monthly salary, but that was all.
Concubine Lin hesitated for a moment. She wanted to impress Madam Protector, but she couldn't do it without bringing something real.
She thought for a while, "To be honest with Madam Hu Guo, the prince has told me privately that he will allocate a fiefdom to Xuan'er in the future."
"Besides, I wonder if Madam Protector has heard that Xuan'er is now in charge of the palace's fleet. I think Madam can also see from this how much the prince attaches great importance to Xuan'er."
Mrs. Protector frowned slightly when she heard this. She didn't have a sea-going ship, but she also heard that the sea-going ship was very profitable.
Although she was a woman, she knew everything about the affairs of the court, and she knew that the annual income of the Municipal Shipping Department would not be less than one-tenth of the national fiscal revenue.
The king of Qi actually gave the eldest son such an important thing to take charge of, which shows that in the heart of the king, the status of the eldest son is not low.
From this point of view, the princess was useless and actually let a concubine climb on her head.
This concubine Lin went out to show off her appearance, but she didn't expect that she was not a simple person.
Concubine Lin saw the contemplative look on Madam Protector's face, and she felt more and more confident, "Madam Protector, think about it, my son will have a title, a fief, and a fleet in his hands in the future. In this way, wouldn't it be better than not doing so?" The last prince?"
Madam Protector lowered her eyes and said nothing, but slowly sat down.
Concubine Lin knew that Madam Protector had been moved. At this moment, as long as she added a little fire, Madam Protector could completely switch sides.
But it was too risky for her to say this.
