Chapter 462 Sending a Message

What Jinse said in the Twelfth Prince's residence was naturally not spread outside.

Outsiders naturally wouldn't know either.

But Empress Li had been watching Jinse with a lingering resentment for many years.

Now that the new emperor of Liang has proposed marriage, it has definitely given her an opportunity.

Empress Li herself cannot speak out for the time being, but there are plenty of people from the Li family, the Prince of Ankang's family, and the Fifth Prince's faction who can speak on this matter in court.

They chose Jinse, their choice righteous and eloquent, seemingly without any ulterior motives of their own.

Because they felt they had good reason for choosing Jinse.

Firstly, although there were princesses of marriageable age in the palace, they were too precious and noble to be married off to other countries. In any case, the new emperor of Liang did not necessarily want a princess.

It's not easy to pick out a specific one for the princesses, county princesses, and daughters of important officials and nobles under them in a short time, isn't it? It's time-consuming and laborious.
On the contrary, Jinse is an excellent choice.

Although Jinse seems to have left the palace to work at the Twelfth Prince's residence, her official rank is still listed in the palace; she is still a first-class palace maid in the Dizhao Palace.

Wouldn't this kind of identity be the perfect opportunity to manipulate things and marry a noblewoman to another country as a marriage alliance?

Moreover, it is said that a few years ago, when the new emperor of Great Liang was still the crown prince, he was very interested in the palace maid Jinse and even wanted to bring her back to Great Liang.

In this way, if Da Sheng really chooses Jinse, a palace maid, to be a noble lady and marry into Daliang, the new emperor of Daliang will not feel slighted or that the harmony of the marriage between the two countries will be damaged, right?

So, everyone, look at this palace maid named Jinse, isn't she a perfect candidate?

It was absolutely not because they had selfish motives, worried that their own daughter would be chosen, or because Empress Li insisted on sending this Jinse to another country...

Under the influence of certain individuals' words, Jinse seemed poised to become the only candidate for a marriage alliance with the Liang dynasty.

Regardless of how the crowd reacted to this news, Jinse herself was initially a bit bewildered.

Such a distressing matter could not possibly have been told to Jinse by the Twelfth Prince, or by Lin Yi and others.

Jinse, living in the Twelfth Prince's residence, was completely unaware of the commotion outside.

Until this day, Cha Lan came to their door.

Cha Lan came under the pretext of visiting Jin Se, but this time she didn't go through the front or side gates to avoid disturbing Lin Fu; instead, she went through the back.

After spending some money and mentioning her past as a fellow employee of Jinse in the Imperial Tea Room, Chalan was finally able to enter the Twelfth Prince's residence and meet Jinse.

When Cha Lan saw Jinse again, and saw that since the Twelfth Prince left the palace, her food, clothing and daily necessities had obviously improved by several levels, making her look radiant and delicate, Cha Lan's initial schadenfreude completely disappeared.

I felt a wave of annoyance.

Yet she still had to endure it and smile at Jinse.

In the past, even though Jinse was favored by the Emperor and taken care of by Aunt Cao, Chalan didn't care much about her in the palace.

Once she left the palace, she found herself increasingly unable to bear seeing Jinse get along well.

Cha Lan was completely confused as to why she was acting this way...

Jinse had no idea what Chalan was thinking. A beat too slow, she welcomed Chalan inside and asked, "Sister Chalan, why did you come to the manor today? You didn't even tell me beforehand."

She just barged in; I don't know who let her in...

Jinse pondered to herself, but didn't show anything on her face.

Cha Lan seemed oblivious to what was going on, her face showing a mixture of anxiety and worry as she said, "Sigh, I heard the news this morning and got worried, so I rushed over without even having time to tell my sister beforehand."

Jinse could only ask, "What news did Sister Chalan hear?" Was it really worth her coming all the way to the Twelfth Prince's residence to find her after hearing some news?

Upon hearing this, Chalan looked at Jinse with surprise, as if she hadn't expected Jinse to ask such a question: "This, Jinse, don't you know?"

Jinse quietly shook her head.

Cha Lan looked surprised and conflicted. After looking at Jinse for a while, she said, "I heard the news from the servants in the manor. It must have come from the Prince..."

As she spoke, Chalan glanced at Jinse again, her face full of heartache.

Jinse hadn't even heard a word of what Chalan was saying, but the way Chalan kept glancing at her made her a little uneasy.

"Sister Chalan, just tell me if you have any news."

Looking at me with that strange expression, I have no idea what the other person is trying to say.

Cha Lan continued with a troubled expression, "Alas, wasn't it a few days ago that the news about the new emperor of Liang wanting to form a marriage alliance with us caused quite a stir? Originally, these things had nothing to do with us, but..."

Cha Lan sighed again as she spoke: "I heard from the servants that during the morning court session, a court official suddenly suggested that Sister Jinse be married off to the new emperor of Liang! This is truly..."

As she said this, Chalan's face showed a hint of anger, as if she was very angry with the minister who proposed that Jinse be sent to marry him.

Jinse was somewhat puzzled by what she saw.

I don't know why Chalan is acting so angry.

Of course, upon suddenly hearing this news, Jinse was a little stunned, as if she hadn't yet realized what Chalan meant by what she said.

Then, perhaps because Chalan's performance was really too exaggerated, Jinse quickly came to her senses.

After a while, Jinse said, "If it's really necessary for me to do this, it's nothing."

Does Jinse want to be married off to Daliang?

Of course, I don't want to.

If she really decides to go, will she be willing?

They must have felt some reluctance.

Although she had no relatives left and seemed to have nothing to miss in Dasheng, who would want to go to that unfamiliar foreign land if they could stay in Dasheng?

But if the Emperor and the others really decide to let her go... she would probably go, right?

During the years she spent in the palace, the Emperor always treated her very well.

She was just a palace maid, yet the Emperor frequently had Eunuch Yang and others take care of her...

Even for this reason, Jinse was willing to obey the Emperor's arrangements.

Cha Lan was taken aback by Jinse's words and felt a little dissatisfied.

She ran over to tell Jinse all this, not to see the other woman's calm attitude.

What Cha Lan really wanted to see was a panicked, helpless, and at a loss expression on the other person's face after she said all that.

But Cha Lan really didn't expect that she wouldn't see even the slightest similar expression on Jin Se's face.

This disappointed her.

She was also secretly a little angry.

I don't know if I'm angry at myself or at Jinse.
