The portrait was sent to the Ministry of Rites. The Minister of Rites frowned after looking at the portrait.

This painting... looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it.

Looking at the woman in the painting again, she has an ordinary face no matter how you look at it, you might not be able to find her if she is thrown into the crowd.

How could such a woman enter the palace to accompany the Holy Driver?

The Minister of Rites wanted to throw the portrait aside, but then his eyes fell on the signature in the corner. He made a sound and asked, "Is this the orphan of the Lin family who just returned to the capital?"

The painter was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Sir, that's right."

The Minister of Rites frowned even more.

Logically speaking, such beauty is not qualified to enter the palace, and it cannot pass the preliminary screening. However, this girl Lin has a special status and is the only descendant of the Lin family.

Today, His Majesty is a person who values ​​friendship, especially towards the Lin family. There have been rumors recently that if nothing happens to the Lin family, Miss Lin might even become the queen.

After thinking about it, the Minister of Etiquette placed the portrait on the side for retention.

The painter took a look and whispered: "Sir, this..."

The Minister of Rites waved his hand: "This Miss Lin has a special status and cannot be dealt with easily. It is better to wait for the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to decide in person."

He sends people up, and it depends on His Majesty's will whether he chooses them or not.

The painter sighed after hearing this, thinking that he had received the money, but it was not up to him to decide whether it would succeed or not.

-

While the matter of choosing a concubine was in full swing, things were calm in the Lin family.

On this day, Chen Yuan came to say goodbye.

Mo Xiao's imperial edict has been issued. Chen Yuan will leave for the border in the near future. Once he goes there, he doesn't know when he will come back.

When she came, Yang Yuheng was still with her.

Yang Yuheng looked a lot thinner, and his face was not very good-looking. When he saw Lin Jiuqing, he grinned, but that smile was uglier than crying.

Lin Jiuqing glanced at him, then at Chen Yuan, and finally sighed.

Chen Yuan was okay and said to Yang Yuheng: "There are many books in my sister's study. You can go and have a look."

Yang Yuheng knew that this was to push him away so he could talk, so he didn't refute anything and turned around and went to Lin Jiuqing's study.

Lin Jiuqing frowned and whispered to Chen Yuan: "My study is full of story books. Where did the books come from?"

Mo Xiao knew that she liked to read storybooks to pass the time, and he was afraid that she would be bored in the Lin family, so he collected a whole study room of storybooks, which she could never finish reading in her lifetime.

Chen Yuan said indifferently: "Aren't they all books? It doesn't matter, they are all the same."

Anyway, she didn't know a few big characters, but she could recognize some of the most common characters, which were all taught by Lin Jiuqing.

Lin Jiuqing shook his head and said nothing more.

Pulling Chen Yuan to sit down at the table, he asked softly: "When are you leaving?"

Chen Yuan stared at the tea cup in front of him and said softly: "In three days."

Lin Jiuqing's expression paused, and then he nodded: "Okay, I understand. I have prepared some things for you these days, and I will ask Yingyue to bring them to you later."

Then he added: "Remember to bring Jiuji's seal. If you need anything outside, go to Jiuji to get it."

After so many years, the store she opened back then has grown bigger, not only domestically, but also outside the country.

Chen Yuan was heading to the border. There was Jiuji's shop along the way, so Li Jiuqing wasn't worried about her lack of money.

Chen Yuan heard this and nodded: "Okay, I know everything. I came here this time because I have something to ask my sister for help."
