Previously, Ningxuan Hall was very dilapidated, and there were not many maids serving it. Now, the courtyard is full of people. When they saw Yi Huan coming in, they all saluted respectfully: "I have seen the second lady, and on the order of the second master, I came here. The slaves and maids are waiting in the second lady's courtyard."
Yi Huan said to Tao Xin: "Tao Xin, tell them the rules here."
"Yes, ma'am."
Yi Huan turned around, opened the door and entered the house.
A faint fragrance came from the room. As Lin Qingpei said, all the furnishings inside were made of fine golden nanmu. The furnishings in the room alone cost no less than ten thousand taels of silver.
Lin Qingpei also ordered people to make new clothes for the silks and satins given by the emperor earlier, including spring, summer, autumn and winter, and put them in a full cabinet. There were no longer only plain colors in the cabinet.
Yi Huan thought of what the man had said to her before and asked her to put it on and show it to him the next time they met.
The royal gifts given by that man were all very flamboyant in color and style. Many of them were made of gold-woven satin, which was very rich and noble.
Her fingertips stroked the silky brocade inch by inch.
Yi Huan left a letter in Zangchun Garden saying that he would never see her again. As arrogant as he was, he would be angry if he was rejected over and over again by a little woman in the back house, right? I just hope he can stop it and have no interest in her anymore.
Yi Huan has made up her mind to take care of the three-acre land in the Lin Mansion, be her second wife, and not think about anything else.
What her sister-in-law said was right. She had a high spirit, but her high spirit could not allow her to live the life she wanted. She was just like most back-house women, one of the many living beings, and she soon disappeared from everyone. Presumably that person will soon lose interest in her.
Tao Xin walked into the room and said, "Madam, please go to the front hall quickly, someone is coming from the palace!"
Yi Huan was startled and asked, "But Guan Lang was reinstated?"
Tao Xin shook her head and said, "I don't know, but the servant who heard the message said that the one who came to the Lin Mansion to deliver the message was Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch in charge of His Majesty! He has a distinguished status, so I want you to go to the front hall to receive the order."
"Me? I want to go too?" Yi Huan frowned.
Tao Xin nodded, "Eunuch Zhang said it himself, ordering you and the Second Master to go to the front hall together."
What kind of trick does that person want to play...
Yi Huan sighed.
She had rejected the emperor so many times, but if she had a stronger self-esteem, she shouldn't have stalked him anymore.
Yi Huan said: "Let's go."
In the hall, Zhang Desheng stood there with a smile and said: "General Lin has been relaxing at home for a while, and I think he has thought about it."
Lin Qingpei hurriedly said: "Wei Chen has already made a mistake. I only hope that Your Majesty can give Wei Chen a chance to change his ways."
"Of course, your Majesty is not that unkind." Zhang Desheng said with a smile, "Why is Mrs. Lin still here? But what happened?"
Lin Qingpei said: "I will go and ask the people below to urge you."
"No hurry, no hurry, let Mrs. Lin go slowly, don't rush her."
At this moment, everyone in the hall was not sure what His Majesty meant. If Erlang was to be reinstated, why did he ask Yi Huan to come over?
Lin Qingpei tentatively spoke: "I don't know how to ask my wife to come over, but what is your Majesty's decree?"
"Exactly. When the second lady arrives, the old slave will read out His Majesty's oral instructions."
Lin Qingpei stuffed a bag of silver into Zhang Desheng's hand.
"Father-in-law, can you please let me know? I wonder if my wish will come true this time?"
Zhang Desheng narrowed his eyes.
He pushed the bag of silver back and said, "General Lin, this is impossible. Whether your wish can come true depends on His Majesty's wishes. Don't be impatient."
The sound of footsteps was heard, and the next moment, Yi Huan entered with his maid.
Zhang Desheng's eyes lit up when he saw her.
"Mrs. Lin, you are finally here! General Lin and Mrs. Lin take the order!"
Lin Qingpei and Yi Huan quickly knelt down.
"His Majesty has decreed that you two should go to the palace immediately to have an audience! No delay!"
When Yi Huan heard this, his heart trembled, his head fell on the ground, and he said, "Yes."
She just left a letter in the afternoon saying that they would never meet again, and he would see him tonight.
It's hard to imagine that person didn't do it on purpose.
"Madam, please get up quickly, General Lin. I have something to say privately to Madam. Is it convenient?" Zhang Desheng lifted Yi Huan up and looked at Lin Qingpei.
Lin Qingpei immediately emptied the room and said, "Of course it's okay, then I won't disturb father-in-law."
When passing by Yi Huan, Lin Qingpei whispered: "Huan'er, just answer whatever my father-in-law asks. Don't forget what you said to me before."
Yi Huan smiled. This meant that she was telling lies in front of her father-in-law, saying that they were a loving couple.
The door was closed, and only Yi Huan and Eunuch Zhang were left in the room.
Yi Huan bowed and said, "Please give me some advice, father-in-law."
Zhang Desheng sighed and said: "You, you, why are you doing this? For someone like His Majesty, you just follow him, why do you always disobey him and make him angry?"
"For the sake of having met Madam several times, the old slave kindly reminded Madam that Your Majesty was very angry tonight. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was unhappy in his heart. Please don't do anything after Madam enters the palace. You’re in trouble with him again! Go with him in everything, lest your majesty take it out on my wife and do some ridiculous things. Your majesty doesn’t act according to common sense!”
It was indeed unconventional, and Yi Huan did not expect that this man would openly announce her entry into the palace that night.
Yi Huan pursed his lips.
"Old slave, I see that you are quite soft-tempered in front of the Lin family. Why are you so stubborn when you are in front of His Majesty?" Zhang Desheng sighed.
Yi Huan saluted him again sincerely and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me."
"Oh, I just hope you can listen."
Jin Yuan caused a ripple in Yi Huan's ordinary life, and Yi Huan was very afraid of such changes.
Everything Jin Yuan brought was novel and exciting, and she was afraid that she would be involuntarily attracted to him and sink into it.
She just wants to live her own life peacefully and has no courage to break the worldly barriers that bind her.
"To be honest, old slave, I haven't seen His Majesty be so persistent for one thing for a long time. It was Madam who changed everything. Madam, you really don't be afraid. Your Majesty is here, no matter what you do. , His Majesty will take care of everything for you."
"Father-in-law, don't say any more, father-in-law..." Yi Huan bit his lip in embarrassment.
"Okay, okay, I'm too talkative, old slave. Remember, for your own sake, please don't make His Majesty unhappy again tonight."
Yi Huan whispered: "How dare I make him unhappy? I'm also afraid of losing my head."
Zhang Desheng shook his head, "If you are really afraid of losing your head, you should go to the palace now to serve me. I think you are not afraid, old slave. You still think His Majesty will not do anything to you."
is that so? Yi Huan disagreed. She was really scared when facing Jin Yuan.
But maybe she had too many erotic dreams about him, and she always had a lot of tempers when getting along with him.
"Okay, all the old slaves who should be reminded have been reminded."
Zhang Desheng opened the door of the hall and said to Lin Qingpei who was waiting at the bottom of the steps: "Let's go, Mr. and Mrs. Lin will follow me into the palace immediately."
