A boy said a few words next to Lin Jinnian
Lin Jinnian reported: "Grandma! I'm afraid my father will come back later today, and the emperor will stay in the palace for dinner."
"This kid really knows that Zixiang will come back today." Jiang said unhappily.
"Nothing! Grandma, my uncle must be busy with something. I'll go see you tomorrow."
"What a good boy, let's not wait for him, let's eat first!"
Then the group prepared to go to the side hall for dinner
"Come on, Xiang girl, grandma, I ordered the kitchen to cook your favorite food." Grandma Jiang Shi waved.
Yun Zixiang went up and took his grandmother's arm.
During the dinner, everyone took care of Yun Zixiang's taste. They served her some dishes and asked her if the dishes were to her taste. It was obvious that she had a very good dinner. Everyone drank the dinner and washed themselves with tea. Originally, Jiang was planning to talk to Yun Zixiang.
Because Princess Xuanzhao said that she was tired from traveling all the way, so we would chat tomorrow.
Jiang didn't say anything anymore. Now the mistress of the Lin family is Princess Xuanzhao. Her rules are absolute and no one in the house dares to comment on them. , that’s why the Lin family has such rules and regulations now, even the Queen Mother praises them endlessly.
Princess Xuanzhao and Lin Jinyue led Yun Zixiang to her courtyard, which was named Ningxiang Courtyard.
"Xiang'er! This courtyard was where your mother lived when she was young. It has been renovated in the past few days. Everything is arranged according to Huzhou's design." Princess Xuanzhao explained.
"Yes, my mother also said that you like lotus flowers and introduced hot spring water to make the lotus flowers in this courtyard bloom earlier." Lin Jinyue said.
"My aunt is interested, but Zixiang doesn't know how to repay her for a while." Yun Zixiang suddenly understood why he smelled the fragrance of lotus flowers when he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. It turned out that there was still a month until the flowering period.
"One family does not talk about two families, as long as you are happy!" Princess Xuanzhao patted the back of Yun Zixiang's hand and motioned for her to stay in peace.
"Oh, mother, you should go and have a rest quickly! I'll be all right here." Lin Jinyue quickly pulled Princess Xuanzhao out and urged.
"Okay, okay, I'm here, you can't let go, let you two sisters talk, remember, go back and rest at a certain time!" Princess Xuanzhao ordered.
After Princess Xuanzhao left, the two of them walked into the courtyard together, "Sister Zixiang! My mother is like this, the rules cannot be broken."
Yun Zixiang just smiled. The lotus flowers were blooming very well on the lake. The moon was reflected on the lake surface. The lotus flowers were set off by the moonlight and looked unique. I felt that the moonlight tonight was even better...
Entering the main room, the table was filled with fashionable materials and clothes in the capital, some jewelry, rouge, and some new gadgets...
"These were prepared by mother and grandmother." Lin Jinyue brought Yun Zixiang to the clothes and jewelry
"Then I prepared these. Thinking about your appearance when you were young, I think the rouge I picked will definitely suit your wishes."
"And...and this! These are some gadgets that my brother found for you. I specially prepared them to prevent you from getting bored." Lin Jinyue emphasized the word "specially" more heavily, as if to imply something.
"I will definitely thank them tomorrow." Yun Zixiang had never been interested in these things, but the person who prepared them was interested, so she took a few more glances.
"We are all a family, this is what we should do." Lin Jinyue said with a smile.
Then he suddenly thought of something and pulled Yun Zixiang to sit down at the table.
"By the way, my father's concubine He is short-sighted. My grandmother has always said that she can't be on the stage. My mother also said that she has serious thoughts. You should stay away from her." Lin Jinyue instructed.
"Okay, I understand."
"It's getting late, so I went back first. If my mother catches me, I will be punished." Lin Jinyue called the maid in charge of Ningxiang Yuan, gave a few instructions, and left.
After going all the way, Yun Zixiang quickly fell into sleep...
At this time, in the west courtyard of Lin Mansion, Taoxinju was where He and Lin Wanqiao lived.
"For the daughter of a guilty minister to be so valued by the Lin family, it makes us look like outsiders!" He shouted.
"Aunt He! Keep your voice down. Madam will hear you and you will have to kneel outside the ancestral hall again." The maid next to her warned in a low voice.
I guess Aunt He also knelt down in the ancestral hall.
"Wan Qiao is a serious member of the Lin family. It's a pity that Wan Qiao is a concubine."
"Mom! Don't mention this again. Don't you think it's embarrassing enough? Now that the Lin family didn't kick us out, it's good." Lin Wanqiao lost the cowardice in the day and scolded.
"You kid! Ouch, why is my life so miserable!" He wailed.
Lin Wanqiao didn't want to see her mother acting like this, so she waved her hands and left, leaving He alone and pretending to cry.
When Lin Wanqiao was a child, she heard from servants that Aunt He got into the Lin family through unscrupulous means. The Lin family kept her in the Lin family when they saw she was pregnant. However, she did not remember the kindness of the Lin family and repeatedly went against his wife and the old lady, which made her The Lin family didn't like her.
The head of the Lin family never looked at her in the eyes again. Sometimes when he bumped into her, his eyes showed disgust.
Lin Wanqiao knew that she could not compare with Lin Jinyue and the others, so she was no better. If she stayed in the Lin family with peace of mind, the Lin family would not treat her badly and would find a good family to marry her for the rest of her life.
It just so happened that she had such a stupid mother who had a very narrow vision and could not see the long term as her daughter.
As expected, the nun next to Princess Xuanzhao came and asked Aunt He to kneel outside the ancestral hall. She knelt until dawn before letting her get up. As for why she didn't go in, it was because she was not included in the family tree and was no longer worthy.
