In the imperial study room.
After hearing Zheng Cheng's secret report, the emperor's face turned gloomy and incomprehensible:
"The prince has now begun to learn unusual methods... Why did Cheng Yao attack Xiao Weizhong's son who wanted to die?"
Zheng Cheng: "I don't know, this information was obtained by the spies sent to the teahouse from the miracle doctor."
The emperor thought about it for a moment and couldn't see the consequences, so he put the matter aside:
"The Grand Master and the Tang Pavilion elders are really just playing chess and drinking tea in that teahouse?"
Zheng Cheng: "That's true. There is no one guarding the door. Everyone knows that the old Marquis is addicted to chess, and the Grand Master is a master of the six arts. Since the Grand Master returned to Beijing, the Old Marquis has often pestered the Grand Master to play chess. Mr. Tangge, who is good friends with Mr. Marquis, often goes to keep him company."
Emperor: "These old guys, when singled out when they were young, were difficult thorns to deal with, but they have tempered their sharpness as they got older. The people sent here should be careful, so as not to be discovered."
Zheng Cheng: "Yes. The spies said that not only you sent people to the teahouse, but also others. After careful investigation, I found out that they were sent by the Duke's Mansion and His Highness the Second Highness."
Emperor: "The Duke's Mansion should have been instructed by the Queen to investigate the movements of the Grand Master. But Cheng Yao's far-sighted vision is beyond the reach of the Prince and Cheng Ye... He is a good seedling, but it is a pity..."
As for what is a pity, although the emperor did not say it, Zheng Cheng was as clear as a mirror. It was a pity that his biological mother was born in a humble background...
On the day before New Year's Eve, Concubine Jade, who has been living in Wangshu Palace all year round, heard from the chatting of the palace ladies who was attending the palace banquet. After overhearing someone's name, her thoughts suddenly changed.
In the afternoon, Concubine Yu looked through the jewelry as if unintentionally, opened one of the wooden boxes, and sighed when she saw the contents inside:
"So many years have passed, and I don't know if the child has recovered from his injuries."
Su'e: "Madam, this jade pendant seems to belong to Miss Lin?"
Concubine Yu's face showed a hint of sadness: "Well, it's pitiful to see that such a young person suffered such a big crime. That's all. I have to say that he is no longer alive."
Su'e: "My queen, please don't be sad. I heard that Miss Lin has recovered from her injury and returned to Beijing a few months ago."
Concubine Jade: "Seriously? That's a good thing."
Su'e: "How dare you lie to your Majesty? Your Majesty seems to like Miss Lin very much?"
Concubine Jade: "That child is so adorable. I only have one child under my knees. When I see such a well-behaved girl, I naturally like her. It's good that she has nothing to do. If there is fate, we will see her again eventually. I don't know how she will grow up." What is it like..."
Inside Yan Yuxuan.
Bai Zhi and Yutong tried on Lin Jinyan's newly made clothes and couldn't stop praising them.
"The lady has never combed her hair or dressed up, yet she looks so beautiful."
"Isn't that right? The palace banquet will probably outshine all the female relatives."
Lin Jinyan's hair was spread all over her back, which made her waist more slender. There was a slight sweat on the tip of her nose, and her face was slightly red:
"Stop talking so much, why is the room so hot?"
Yutong smiled and said: "It's not too hot. At noon, when the old lady saw it was snowing, she asked her to add charcoal to your house. Miss Wanrong even came to see her in person. Then the master gave instructions and the young master gave instructions. Come back, the old lady gave her instructions again after returning home."
Lin Jinyan's eyes were filled with smiles. When she saw Bai Zhi opening the window a crack, she stood by the window to enjoy the snow:
"With such heavy snow, I'm afraid it will remain there tomorrow."
Yutong took the cloak and put it on Lin Jinyan's shoulders:
"That's a good feeling. When the snow stops, I will build a snowman for you."
