Yin Xiang and Yang are cousins, and they are now serving as foreign ministers of the Ministry of Industry.
Yin Xiang was the concubine of Yang's uncle. He was average in talent and learning, but his appearance was outstanding and he was favored by Princess Jia, the daughter of the eldest princess, Princess Suucheng.
Princess Jia was born into a noble family, was arrogant, and was unruly and willful. He is also very popular with Princess Sucheng.
Princess Sucheng and Queen Nangong's mother were close friends, so Princess Jia was also highly valued by the Queen.
When choosing a husband, there are naturally thousands of options to choose from. However, ordinary young masters look down on them, and those who are born and talented children of aristocratic families do not want to be humble. After going back and forth, it dragged off.
Ji Min remembered that later on, he didn't know whether it was Yin Xiang's intention or whether it was indeed a God-given marriage, and he responded to the sentence "When marriage comes, there is no way to stop it."
At a "poetry meeting", Yin Xiang was dressed in white clothes, had a bamboo flute, a jade face, and a phoenix praying for the phoenix. He stood on the bow of the boat, facing the wind and the current, just like the tanlang in the painting.
He instantly captured Princess Jia’s heart!
Princess Jia decided not to marry anyone other than Yin Xiang this time, so Princess Sucheng sent the minister of the Ministry of Industry to come to propose marriage. It is said that many benefits were promised.
In short, in the end, Princess Jia and Yin Xiang got married.
The two were once a husband and a wife, and they were very affectionate.
Yin Xiang also stepped up from a white man to the position of wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry.
However, after reaching the position of Yuanwailang, he was never promoted.
Ji Junqi said,
"What happened? The eldest princess has lost power?"
Ji Min shook his head.
When the eldest princess was a princess, she was friendly with the current saint. As long as the saint was there and as long as the eldest princess did not rebel, even if she violated the law a little, as long as she did not provoke the kind of public anger that a thousand people would accuse, the eldest princess would sit back and relax.
Because Princess Jia and Yin Xiang only had one daughter after ten years of marriage, and Yin Xiang didn't think anything of it at first.
But gradually, I began to feel unhappy, and later, I quietly raised an outside room.
Discovered by Princess Jia, it turns out that Princess Jia killed the mother and her son.
However, after the eldest princess found out, she thought twice and stopped her daughter's action.
"The eldest princess is kind-hearted, or does she have another hidden agenda?"
From what Ji Jun has seen before, people with such a transcendent status usually cannot be treated with a normal heart.
Even in the eyes of someone as unworthy as Su Jin, killing a few maids is like killing chickens and ducks. What's more, this is the eldest princess. When the emperor sees her, she will call her "aunt"!
Therefore, in the eldest princess's mind, the son-in-law's disloyalty to her daughter may come second to having a concubine. After all, the eldest princess's concubine also has a concubine.
It's more that Yin Xiang is provoking her authority!
The reason why the eldest princess let Yin Xiang’s outer chamber go is indeed a hidden secret:
At that time, Chen Meiren had just passed away, and there were rumors in the palace that some high-ranking concubines wanted to "remove their mothers and leave their children."
Some people even went so far as to say that the third prince's mother-in-law was also killed because of this.
In fact, these "high-ranking concubines" include Shangguan Shufei, Hong Chongrong, Li Xiurong, and Lu Zhaorong.
However, among these people who were suspected, Concubine Shangguan Shu, who had the highest position, could not sit still.
Concubine Shangguan Shu knew that sometimes she could not speak the truth in the palace. Once she was suspected and identified, neither she nor her daughter would end well.
When Shangguan Shufei panicked, Hong Chongrong, Li Xiurong and others couldn't sit still.
For a time, there was constant crying in the palace.
The emperor had a lot of headaches during that time. The eldest princess Sucheng was worried that at this time, her daughter would kill her mother and leave her son, or "kill her mother and leave two lives", wouldn't she play into the official's wish?
The concubines in the palace did not dare to be impeached easily. After all, they did not interfere in politics, did not collude with internal and external affairs, and did not sell their official positions. They were living in mischief in their own palace, so they really had nothing to do with the affairs of the censors!
However, the problem is that if these women don't stop, the emperor will be in a bad mood. They often make unknown evil anger in the court, which makes them tremble in court every day.
From the emperor to his ministers, everyone needs an outlet!
The eldest princess cannot be the target of everyone!
Princess Sucheng is very smart and knows that although they are all relatives of the emperor, they are not the same as relatives of the emperor.
The Prince of Guangning County, the Prince of Jiangxia County, and Princess Ruichang are powerful, well-mannered, and even richer.
The Prince of Long'an County, the Prince of Rongan County, and the Lord of Yuhui County either have the emperor's selfish motives or have powerful in-laws as backers.
Princess Sucheng's own consort did not seek advancement, and his current glory was all due to the emperor's memory of his old love.
Old love will not increase, it will only be consumed little by little.
Princess Sucheng opened Princess Jiejia,
"I don't have much influence in the court now, and Lian'er still doesn't have a title. It's difficult to marry into a high family with my current status. If we are rejected by your cousin at this time, I'm afraid Lian'er will be affected. . Besides, my uncle will also arouse the sympathy of the officials for the sake of his children. You can’t just let your family cut off their children and grandchildren if your uncle marries the princess!”
In fact, the eldest princess Sucheng still has something to say. In the future, if Yin Xiang succeeds and the timing is good, and can enter the ranks of the second and third grades, Princess Jia's daughter Lian'er will also be able to straighten her back in her husband's family.
Therefore, we really can't break up with Yin Xiang now. I can’t afford to tear it apart!
Although Princess Jia was unwilling to give in, she was still obedient. After all, she has grown older and her temperament has become more tempered. At the same time, she is not stupid. She also knows that as a princess, she is actually not as valuable as Su Li and Yang Xu. So powerful!
So Yin Xiang entered the outer room and gave birth to a son, Yin Lin.
Yin Lin has been raised by Princess Jia since he was a child. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Princess Jia has raised him to be a playboy.
Reciting poems and writing articles is useless.
Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, but a little bit of everything.
Yin Lin liked Yuyan and once begged Princess Jia to propose marriage to the Yang family, but Princess Jia reprimanded her.
The reason is that the Marquis of Huai'an spoiled his concubines and destroyed his wife, which was a bad family tradition.
In fact, Princess Jia didn't even set her sights on the Hou family in Huai'an.
Neither Yang nor Hong Peiju took a fancy to Yin Lin.
However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t like it, Meilin can help!
In the elegant room of Fumanlou,
Meilin sipped the tea calmly and smiled casually,
"Cousin, this is your last chance now. If you hesitate again, Sister Yuyan will never belong to you!"
Yin Lin looked at Mei Lin who looked a little gloating about her misfortune, and a little bit resentful that iron could not become steel. A breath was stuck in her chest, but she couldn't spit it out.
"My cousin came to me just to have fun and see my jokes?"
Mei Lin smiled and said nothing, just poured tea for Yin Lin, watched Yin Lin drink it all in one gulp, and then filled another cup.
Then, Shi Shiran sat down and said,
"Don't worry, cousin. Let me tell you the truth. Dad wants me to enter the prince's palace with Yuyan, but I don't want Yuyan to come with me. Besides, I think my cousin and Yuyan are about the same age. They are a couple, if they are paired up, wouldn't it be a good story?"
When Yin Lin heard Mei Lin being so honest, some of her resentment faded away, but the rest was dejected.
"Oh, why don't I think so! In fact, although Sister Yuyan's appearance is like a celestial being, there are so many beauties in the prince's palace. How many days can Yuyan be fresh? But I am different. I will definitely treat Sister Yuyan well all my life. ! Why doesn’t she understand!”
When Mei Lin saw this, she thought it was a joke, so she hit the railroad while it was hot.
"Cousin, Sister Yuyan is simple-minded. How can she understand the dangers in a high family? I have no one who is in love with me, and in order to revitalize the Huai'an Marquis Mansion, I have to enter the Prince's Mansion to make a career. Sister Yuyan With such a deep friendship as my cousin, there is really no need to wade through this muddy water. I really also think about Sister Yuyan! Cousin, don’t you want to help her? "
"Why don't you want to?" Yin Lin said anxiously, as if she was afraid that Mei Lin wouldn't believe it.
"I swear, I will treat Sister Yuyan well! But, I really don't know what to do! Sister Meilin, please teach me, okay? I know you are the smartest! And you are talented, so many ladies , you are the only ones who almost chose to be the princess! It shows that you are knowledgeable!"
Mei Lin thought to herself, no wonder Ji Jun said that even though she didn't become a prince, she could enjoy this bonus for the rest of her life and "use the banner as a tiger skin"!
Sure enough, if he hadn't been selected as the "Prince's Concubine", Yin Lin might not have listened to him!
No wonder, my father and brother are determined to become masters! It turns out that when you are powerful, even if you talk nonsense, there are still people who treat you like a god!
Mei Lin secretly put away her pride and saw that the heat was almost done, so she said softly,
"Cousin, I have a plan, let's see if you dare!"
Seeing Yin Lin's confusion, Mei Lin stepped forward, leaned close to Yin Lin and whispered a few words.
Yin Lin's expression changed a little when he heard this.
In the private room next door, Ji Jun and Ji Nian were quietly hiding inside. After hearing Meilin Yinlin leave, he opened the window and saw the two of them leaving the restaurant one after the other and going in different directions.
Ji Jun sighed,
"Meilin was selected as the prince's concubine a while ago, and then she made trouble in Chen Guogong's Mansion and Guangning County Prince's Mansion. At least it shows that Meilin is capable of tossing, and she is also ruthless!"
Ji Min said,
"Of course, if someone like her is not harmful to others, how can she stand out?"
Ji Jun saw that Ji Min was a little sad, so he said,
"But, Ni'er, do you feel soft-hearted after seeing Meilin harming Yuyan?"
"Softhearted?" Ji Yan was startled for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said,
"Cousin, it's up to Meilin to harm Yuyan or not, not us. If we hadn't reminded Meilin to go to Yin Lin, Meilin would have probably gone to Liu Bisheng. Speaking of which, we are still kind to Yuyan Yeah! It’s just that we don’t ask for repayment in return!”
In the previous life, after Yu Yan became the concubine of Prince Rongan, Yin Lin also took refuge in Prince Rongan.
Although Yuyan was taken away by Prince Rongan that day, later, under Yuyan's order, Yin Lin came to the Huai'an Marquis Mansion twice and whipped Ji Min hard to vent his anger for Yuyan!
In this life, Ji Min brings the two of them together to see if Yin Lin can still be deeply devoted to Yu Yan, even though the poor and humble couple are miserable!
