Even though Zhou Ruo was in bad luck, Lin Qingqing was too lazy to add insult to injury. She focused her attention elsewhere.

Her old father had been living in the Ministry of Revenue for some time in exchange with His Majesty because of his own affairs, and he was almost unable to bear it.

She was worried about her father's health, so she specially consulted the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau and ordered a nourishing diet for her father. She had someone prepare it in the small kitchen in the palace and then personally delivered it to the Ministry of Revenue every day.

She also knew that what her father was doing now was extremely important, so she did not dare to disturb him too much. She just watched him finish his meal and then went back with the lunch box.

She had just returned from delivering food to her father. As soon as she entered the palace gate, a palace maid came rushing to greet her and reminded her, "You are finally back, Madam. His Majesty's men have been waiting here for quite some time with the imperial edict."

Lin Qingqing was startled, and hurriedly handed the food box in her hand to the palace maid, and asked as she walked inside: "What happened?"

"I don't know," the maid said carefully, "I just saw that the eunuch was holding the imperial edict in his hand and had a smile on his face. It didn't look like anything bad."

Lin Qingqing did not dare to take it lightly, and walked into the house quickly. Sure enough, she saw a eunuch waiting in the house with the imperial edict in his hands. She also knew this eunuch, and he was indeed someone close to His Majesty.

Lin Qingqing was about to say hello, but she saw a little man sitting on the main seat, who looked 90% like His Majesty. Wasn't he her good friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time, the eldest son of the current emperor, Mo Chengning?

Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows and took a step forward, and Mo Chengning also stood up from his chair.

When the eunuch saw Lin Qingqing, he immediately smiled and said, "Your servant greets the virtuous concubine."

Lin Qingqing withdrew her gaze from Mo Chengning and raised her hand to the eunuch: "No need to be so polite, sir."

The eunuch stood up, turned to look at Mo Chengning beside him, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, then... is this the beginning?"

Mo Chengning took the imperial edict from the young eunuch, slowly unfolded it, and looked at Lin Qingqing: "Xianfei, please accept the order."

Lin Qingqing was stunned again, then she lifted her skirt and knelt down respectfully, followed by the palace maids behind her.

Her mind was full of thoughts, and she really couldn't guess what was written in the imperial edict. She even had to ask Mo Chengning to come in person to deliver the imperial edict.

Mo Chengning shook the imperial edict in his hand and read aloud: "Xianfei Lin, a lady from a famous family, with both talent and virtue, and noble character, is promoted to imperial concubine."

The imperial edict was very short, without a single word of nonsense, but the content was enough to keep Lin Qingqing in shock for a long time.

She raised her head and looked at Mo Chengning with a blank look in her eyes. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Mo Chengning with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not over yet."

Lin Qingqing: "..."

Mo Chengning continued, "My second son is intelligent and lovely. I have placed him at your service to relieve your loneliness in the deep palace. I hope you will take good care of him and not let me down."

After reading this, Mo Chengning put away the imperial edict, walked forward a few steps, and handed it to Lin Qingqing.

But Lin Qingqing seemed to be stupid and didn't react for a while.

Mo Chengning raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, do you want to disobey my order?"

These words gave Lin Qingqing a sudden shock, and she quickly took the imperial edict with both hands: "I accept the order, long live the emperor."

After a pause, Lin Qingqing added: "I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"
