Zhang Desheng was surprised and thought that His Majesty really valued General Lin.
Jin Yuan lowered his eyes and suppressed his thoughts. In the last life at the Hua Chao banquet, she was too far away from him and could not see her face clearly. In this life, he would put her under his nose and watch her carefully.

Before Lin Qingpei resigned, Embroidery Shop sent the newly made garments to the Lin Mansion.
By chance, he was spotted by Gu Chuxue's maid Xiulian. He saw the young boy holding a wooden case, protected by treasures all the way. He stepped forward out of curiosity and asked, "What is this?"
The young man from Xiuluofang didn't understand the twists and turns of the Lin family, so he answered honestly: "It's a freshly made garment, and it's about to be sent to Madam."
Xiulian opened the silk handkerchief that covered her body. Inside was a large-sleeved blouse with tassel-colored embroidery and gold. It looked like it was Su embroidery. None of them, Miss Gu, had ever worn such good clothes.
Xiulian took the wooden case and said, "Go back, I'll deliver it."
"Then that's a problem, girl."
Xiulian carried the new clothes into Fufengyuan. She muttered: "My dear, look, you have never worn such good clothes. The second master had a set made specially and sent it to the madam."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't call her a wife." Gu Chuxue was sitting at the table embroidering, her eyes filled with resentment. She said, "Even if Erlang gives me enough pampering, I am still a concubine who cannot be put on the stage."
Gu Chuxue sighed: "I guess these clothes are for tonight's palace banquet, right? Send them to Madam."
However, Xiulian said displeasedly: "You don't even have the gold Su embroidery thread. If you don't keep it, my wife will not lack this one. Even if the second master knows about it, he won't blame you. Just keep it."
Gu Chuxue hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand to touch the fabric of her shirt, her eyes full of envy, "That's fine."
Ningxuan Hall.
Tao Xin has already finished putting on makeup for Yi Huan.
Yi Huan asked: "Have the clothes from Xiuluofang not been delivered yet? The second master will be back soon."
Tao Xin was also confused: "No, it should be delivered to you. Madam, please wait, I will ask you."
After Taoxin finished speaking, she hurried out.
After a while, after learning the whole story, Tao Xin walked into the room angrily and said: "They are bullying people too much! They in Fufengyuan are bullying people too much!"
"Madam, the Suzhou embroidery garment that the second master rushed to make for you was cut off by Xiulian and sent to Fufengyuan!"
"This is unreasonable. Madam, we can't just let it go! Those are the clothes you are going to wear for the palace banquet. How dare they! I will help you get it back!"
However, Yi Huan held Tao Xin's hand and said, "That's it, no need. Since she likes it, let her do whatever she wants. Tao Xin, go and take out that moon-white cloud brocade big-sleeved coat from the cabinet."
Even if he goes to make trouble, he is just asking for trouble in the end. Lin Qingpei has always indulged Gu Chuxue.
This is not the first time this has happened. It's not like Yi Huan has never made trouble before. Lin Qingpei will only think that she is not generous and unreasonable.
Tao Xin muttered: "That one is too plain."
"There's nothing else suitable."
"yes."
Yi Huan changed into clothes. She was clearly dressed plainly, but her youthfulness could not be concealed.
Tao Xin praised: "Humph, our madam looks good no matter what she wears. I don't know what the second master thinks. How can Miss Gu's looks and talent be as good as yours?"
Tao Xin followed her out of the Yi Mansion, so she was naturally facing her.
While the master and servant were talking, Lin Qingpei came back from the school grounds and was about to take Yi Huan to the banquet.
Entering the house and seeing the clothes on her body, Lin Qingpei was stunned and said, "Where are the clothes from Xiuluofang? Haven't they been delivered yet?"
Tao Xin immediately said: "Xiulian was sent to Fufengyuan. Our lady can only wear last year's materials."
Tao Xin feels a little wronged, and hopes that the second master can seek justice for his wife.
But Lin Qingpei was used to being partial, so when he heard this, he just frowned slightly and said, "How can you be so ignorant? I'll talk about it later, Huan'er looks good in this dress, it's too late, come with me first." Palace."
Yi Huan secretly said that it was indeed the case.
Whatever Gu Chuxue wants, Lin Qingpei will never deny it.
Yi Huan responded obediently: "Okay."

Yi Huan followed Lin Qingpei into the palace.
It was already dark.
There was a lot of people drinking wine and drinking wine in Linde Hall.
When Lin Qingpei was led to his seat by his maid, Lin Qingpei looked suspicious and asked, "Are you sure I'm sitting here?"
"Master Hui Lin, yes, it was arranged by His Majesty himself."
The people sitting around Lin Qingpei were all first-class officials, and those sitting above them were the royal family members. The main seat at the top belonged to the emperor. This seat was too close to the emperor.
Lin Qingpei was flattered and said: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
The maid smiled and turned to leave. Everyone knew that His Majesty valued Lin Qingpei.
Not long after, Lin Qingpei went to chat with others, leaving Yi Huan sitting alone.
Tang Xinyue came over and said unhappily: "Huan'er, are your clothes from last year? This has long been out of favor in the capital."
Tang Xinyue is the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and was once the handkerchief in Yi Huan's boudoir.
Yi Huan said: "It doesn't matter what you wear."
Tang Xinyue sneered lightly and said, "You are just too soft-tempered. Do you know what others say about you?"
Yi Huan just smiled and said nothing, just mocking her for being cowardly, unable to capture her husband's heart, and letting a concubine take charge of the family.
Tang Xinyue sighed and said: "Forget it, if I don't say those ugly words to you, if you have difficulties in the future, just tell me and I will support you, but don't let others bully you anymore. You are still the orphan of a general, and you have nothing to lose." I’ll stand up straight.”
Tang Xinyue reached out and patted her back.
Yi Huan knew her good intentions.
She said: "Sister Xinyue, you don't have to worry about me, I know what's going on."
"But your husband really has the Sacred Heart. This position is better than my father's." Tang Xinyue sighed.
Yi Huan's eyes suddenly dimmed, right? But all this was achieved through her father's influence.
"You must not take advantage of Gu Xiaoniang and cling to the position of the principal wife. Even if Gu Chuxue is favored again, she will not be justified in her name!"
After Tang Xinyue finished persuading, she returned to her seat.
The dinner was about to begin, and Lin Qingpei also came back and sat down next to her.
At the same time, it was accompanied by the sentence: "The Emperor has arrived!"
All the civil and military officials, their wives and children hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Yi Huan also followed Lin Qingpei and knelt down, laying his head on the ground. Officials shouted: "Long live our emperor!"
Immediately afterwards, a low and cold voice was heard coming from the upper level: "Everyone is safe."
Yi Huan felt that the voice sounded familiar, and when he stood up, he couldn't help but glance at the seat above.
The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of soap boots inlaid with gold thread dragon patterns, and then came the black attire. There were faint golden dark patterns flowing on the attire, which made this piece of clothing noble and extraordinary.
Yi Huan glanced hastily and froze in place the next moment.
Just because the emperor's face was exactly the same as the man in her spring dream!
