She had long discovered that the Queen had taken the wrong medicine for not being pregnant for many years...
The person who drugged her was today, and the other party also sent someone to warn her not to talk nonsense.
Su Yangyang did not dare to tell others this secret, but she knew that the prince who formed a party with his successor would be rejected sooner or later.
Lin Xi married into the East Palace and is now in the limelight, but I'm afraid she won't be in glory for a few more years.
Thinking this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
——
The queen sent someone to deliver the jade pendant and waited for Lin Xi to enter the palace to express her gratitude.
It's been seven days, and still no one has come. Today she sent someone from the palace to urge him.
The sunshine and charm of Guogong Mansion.
Lin Xi lay in a tree and took a nap. The sunlight filtered through the leaves and hit the body just right.
There was a small table in front of her, with a pot of boiling scented tea and several plates of exquisite snacks.
It’s so pleasant to take a nap in the sun.
In the reception room in the front yard, Ta Xue dealt with the people coming from the palace.
This is the second time the Queen has sent someone.
"My young lady also wanted to go to the palace to express her gratitude, but when she returned home that day, she fell ill with a cold. She can't stay here now because she is afraid that she will pass on to the Queen after she is sick."
The palace man looked embarrassed: "I've been nursing this for seven days, but it still doesn't get better?"
Texue: "The young lady hopes to recover soon. She couldn't even visit her grandmother when she was sick, so naturally it's inconvenient for her to thank her."
The palace man was helpless: "Well, I'll take good care of your young lady. The empress is kind and gave me a lot of nourishing pills."
Tuxue thanked him profusely and sent the palace man off politely.
Half an hour later, a new group of people arrived.
The Lin Mansion sent someone to the door for the third time.
The mother-in-law sent by the Lin Mansion said that Mrs. Lin was ill and asked Lin Xi to come back to visit her.
"The young lady is also thinking about it, but she has been ill for the past two days, and she is afraid that she will die when she is sick. The queen urged the girl to go to the palace to thank her, but she didn't even go." After a pause, Taxue said again, " These medicinal materials are specially given by the girl to nourish the old lady's body as a token of filial piety."
Seeing that he couldn't say anything, the other party could only accept the medicine angrily: "Okay then, tell your girl to take good care of her health. If she recovers, she must let you know."
"I remember it."
Lin Xi didn't want to take the pills that the Queen sent to her, so she asked Texue to change the packaging and take them to the old lady of the Lin family.
Even if people don't go, they still have to do enough to save face.
It is not unfilial to let people know that she is just unwell and cannot go.
After sending away the two groups of people, he returned to the courtyard in the snow. He glanced at the young lady sleeping in a rather indecent posture and sighed inwardly.
"It's all done."
Lin Xi sat up from the recliner: "Taxue, you are really capable, come and have a snack."
Ta Xue was a little embarrassed: "Is it okay to keep dragging this on?"
Lin Xi: "Of course it's no problem, who hasn't gotten sick yet?"
After she had been ill for a month, those people's thoughts naturally faded away.
If it's not cool, then think of another way.
No matter what other people do, she just won't answer.
It was hard to live a comfortable life for a few days, but she didn't want to get involved and let others plot against her.
It's better to lie at home and bask in the sun.
Besides, according to the plot in the book, the prince can only live for three years, so why should she get involved and be implicated.
Emperor Zhou, who is now in power, has always been coerced by nobles from aristocratic families, both before and after he ascended the throne.
For those centuries-old families, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, as long as they stay in power.
The successor who now supports the crown prince, and Concubine Li who supports Prince Duan, are supported by their respective aristocratic families.
No matter which one of them ascends the throne, they will naturally be coerced by the family with the ability to follow the dragon.
Emperor Zhou was far-sighted and did not care about the prince and King Rui, but the mother and concubine Shen Shengxiao who had no background.
What's more, Emperor Zhou really loved Zhongxiao's mother.
It was only because of the great power of the Crown Prince and King Duan that they kept their faces concealed.
Emperor Zhou relied heavily on her uncle, never revealed his true intentions, and was kind to his courtiers and people.
It's a pity that his life is short, and he only has three years left to live.
As an emperor and a courtier, Zhong Xiao was much crueler and more resourceful than his father.
After he ascended the throne, he first allowed the aristocratic family to frame the British public rebellion and removed the general with the highest military merit. Under the guise of trying to bring justice to Britain, another group of dignitaries from aristocratic families were killed.
Finally, the power was firmly in his hands.
Even if she knew what would happen in the future, Lin Xi never thought about leaving.
...I am used to living a comfortable life, and I don’t want to be tired from running around.
She couldn't let go of her current wealth and comfort, even if there were some twists and turns, it was nothing compared to the days when she was licking blood from the edge of a knife.
And even if I want to leave, I'm afraid I can't. Emperor Zhou trusted his uncle, but he would not let him leave.
After all, my uncle is in his prime, and with his abilities, he can also serve others.
Let's do this for now. If you find something is wrong, you can run away with your family.
Lin Xi counted on her fingers and found that there were three things in the Duke's Mansion that she couldn't live without.
Uncle, the God of Wealth who gave her countless wealth.
Walking in the snow made her not have to waste her brain thinking about things.
Lin Yan can relieve boredom.
A month passed uneventfully, and the Duke's Mansion received the post.
The old lady of the Lin family celebrated her sixtieth birthday.
Although she is a grandmother who has no blood relationship, as a grandchild, Lin Xi can't say no to her.
She has been ill for a month, and there are rumors in the capital that she is about to die... which is a bit outrageous.
Texue: "I can't push it this time."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. I'll definitely go."
The birthday party in the dream was an important turning point for many things, and it was very lively.
Lin Xi felt a little tired after staying at home for so long.
Others are almost knocking on the door, and I have been hiding... That's not impossible.
But being remembered by others is always unsettling.
She had a great idea in her mind that would amaze everyone all at once.
Taxue saw her young lady smiling strangely and looked wary: "What do you want to do again?"
Lin Xi took a sip of tea: "Nothing, but no matter what happens that day, you don't have to worry too much."
Taxue:......
What is this nonsense? She is already worried!
The author has something to say:
Lin Xi: I held back a big move at home!
Chapter 13
◎So lively◎
On Mrs. Lin's birthday, Lin Xi didn't have to get up early, she just had to arrive before the banquet.
After all, she had been sick for a month, and Texue thoughtfully helped her choose a white dress.
There was only a plain hairpin on her head, and there was no eyebrow drawing or lip dyeing.
Ta Xue stared at her face and said in a faint voice: "Miss, you have eaten too much recently. Your health is not like recovering from a serious illness."
Lin Xi: "...then spread a few layers of powder to suppress the blood."
The two of them worked hard, but the person in the mirror was completely bloodless and his lips were pale.
Sure enough, he looked like he was weak and his life was short-lived!
Texue: "Miss, your eyes are too clear. You have to lower your gaze and look at people. This way you will be safe."
After finding out the temperament of my young lady, I could only think of a comprehensive solution.
Lin Xi nodded: "Okay, you better be careful."
It's just right to wear this to celebrate your birthday.
The Lin family's official career was average, but they had been in business for several generations and accumulated countless wealth.
It is difficult for a small official working in other places to buy a small courtyard in the capital where land is at a premium. The Lin family might as well give in more than the prince's and princess's mansion.
In the front are many courtyards, which are simple and elegant, with bright corridors leading to the ridge, and in the back is a deep and beautiful garden.
Since the Lin family's business was so big, many people were naturally jealous. To put it bluntly, if they weren't in-laws with the British public, who had a large number of soldiers and were prolific in killing people, there was no way they would have been confiscated.
Today, there is an endless stream of guests attending the banquet. King Xin, Princess Pingning, and King Duan are all here.
Seeing this scene, officials who had not planned to attend the banquet hurriedly came with congratulatory gifts.
