Lin Tingwan sat inside for a short while, and came out when she saw that the two had already started chatting. She was not someone who was ungrateful, and she should have come out to create opportunities for the two.

But she was a little unsure in her heart. Whether Lin Mingqian and Song Yingyue would agree to Lin Yuehong's wish to marry Su Hanyan, Lin Tingwan didn't know. She just felt it was a bit unlikely.

The Lin family and the Su family have different positions, and she thinks Su Hanyan only regards Lin Yuehong as a friend and has no other thoughts.

What's more, before she entered the palace in her previous life, she was doomed to die outside the palace, but Lin Tingwan knew that the man was not Lin Yuehong.

But now Lin Yuehong looked clearly deeply in love, and as a younger sister she couldn't say anything more, so she had to let it go.

Lin Tingwan was standing outside, feeling very bored, keeping watch for the two of them, but luckily no one came here.

After sending Su Hanyan away, Lin Tingwan wanted to go back to his own yard, but Lin Yuehong grabbed his arm and said, "I just talked a lot with Hanyan. Do you think she is interested in me?"

Lin Tingwan glared at him fiercely when he heard this. "Brother, Miss Su is just giving you a good face. You can't flatter yourself like this."

At the end, she asked worriedly, "You haven't told Miss Su about this, have you?"

Lin Yuehong looked at Lin Tingwan in confusion, "Why should I tell her? How can you say that?"

Lin Tingwan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Lin Yuehong couldn't help laughing twice and patted Lin Tingwan gently, "Okay, how could a smart man like my brother do such a thing? Don't worry."

It’s because of you that I’m worried, Lin Tingwan thought.

Lin Yuehong glanced at the sky and hurried out, "The training will start soon, I must not go back late."

Ever since Lin Tingwan told Lin Yuehong about the miserable situation of the Lin family in the previous life, he has obviously matured a lot, as if he had grown up overnight. Even Lin Mingqian, who is usually very demanding, couldn't help nodding in praise.

In response to this, Lin Tingwan said that in Lin Yuehong's heart, the Lin family is indeed the most important.

……

In Yongjin in the deep winter, the wind is cold and the earth is silent.

The white snow covered the fields and woods, and also gave the ancient temples, pavilions and towers a layer of silver.

Everything was frozen stiff, with only the occasional bird calls being particularly clear. Smoke from cooking fires rose between the village houses, exuding a sense of warmth.

Firewood was piled in front of every house to prepare for winter heating. The river beside the village was covered with thin ice, and occasionally a fish would appear above the water, stirring up ripples.

In the palace, the glazed tiles sparkled like gold and silver in the sun, and the stone lions in front of the palace were covered with thick snow, as if they were guards protecting this deep palace.

In the imperial garden, the flowers that were usually planted in pots have now turned into rare magnolias and plum blossoms in the snow, emitting a faint fragrance.

The concubines in the harem wore heavy brocade winter clothes, held hands, kept warm by the braziers, sat in a circle, and enjoyed the warm time in winter.

"Empress, your Highness the Crown Prince is getting old already. He should first marry a concubine before marrying a Crown Princess." The Queen knew the person who spoke. He was sent to the palace by Prime Minister Fang.

No one knew what seductive tricks she used, but she was still favored. The Queen knew what she meant by saying this. She just wanted to send the girl from the Fang family into the Eastern Palace.

"Yes, Queen, what Queen Consort Shu said is true. There has been no one who cares about the Crown Prince these years. How can this be allowed? If the little girl from the Lin family enters the East Palace and doesn't know what kind of seductive tricks she will use, I heard that the Crown Prince treats her very well now..."

The more she spoke, the more strange the expressions on the faces of the people present looked. Concubine Shu kept winking at her, but she was talking so excitedly that she didn't care about anything else.

Seeing that something was wrong with her words, the queen threw the hand warmer in her hand to the ground, and her voice stopped abruptly.

"The Emperor...the Queen..."

The Queen was kind and always treated everyone with a pleasant smile. It was impossible for her to make such a big mistake as she did today.

After all, the woman in front of them was the queen. She had been in great favor for decades and no one dared to offend her. All of a sudden, all the concubines knelt on the ground, trembling in fear.

The Queen is the apple of His Majesty's eye. When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die. Everyone present knows what position they hold in His Majesty's heart.

Naturally, no one dared to challenge the Queen's authority.

The Queen snorted coldly and said in a cold tone, "The girl from the Lin family is the daughter of General Lin! She was personally appointed as the Crown Princess by the late Emperor. She is the future legal wife of my son. She is not something that can be compared to a concubine of some cat or dog. I hope you can figure it out and don't lose your dignity."

This was a double entendre. All the people present, except the Empress, were concubines. They lowered their heads with convinced expressions on their faces. No one would go against the Empress. They knew in their hearts that the person who backed her up was the master of the world.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It is my fault. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." The person who spoke quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Among all the people present, only Concubine Shu had a look of dissatisfaction on her face, but she lowered her head so no one could see it.

His Majesty dotes on her now, giving her the stars and the moon whenever she wants. She doesn't believe that in time she will not be able to compare to this old woman.

The Queen snorted coldly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the legitimate son of His Majesty, so he naturally doesn't need you filthy people pointing fingers behind his back!"

After a pause, she narrowed her eyes, her eyes clearly showing her impatience towards these women, "Be aware of your own status! So as not to bring yourself into trouble! Don't think that you can bypass me just because His Majesty is nice to you."

When the Queen said this, she was looking at Concubine Shu, so it was obvious who she was talking to.

Concubine Shu could hear her sarcasm, so she slowly said, "What are you talking about, Queen? We are just worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and we don't have any other thoughts. Although we are concubines in the folk, we can still be called little wives. But in the palace, His Royal Highness has to call us mother when he sees us. I don't know what's wrong with this?"

The Queen sneered and said, "Don't think that I don't know what's on your mind. It's just that His Majesty has doted on you for a few days. Do you really think you're a toy?"

The queen's words were full of sarcasm, as if she looked down on Concubine Shu.

After waiting for a long time, Concubine Shu finally waited for this moment. She looked at the Queen with a wronged look.

"Your Majesty has arrived—" It was the voice of Eunuch Sun.
