After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

"It's not a bad idea for your Highness to understand it this way." Fu Guiyun did not deny it.

But she knew that Lu Linchu didn't have the ability to do so, and he was just asking him to do some superficial work.

But entering the palace to ask for permission is a tough job after all. Not to mention anything else, just kneeling in front of the jade steps for several hours is not an easy task. I can't let my mother-in-law suffer this pain.

Lu Linchu suddenly got angry after hearing this: "Fu Guiyun, do you know that Song Weizhao is your brother-in-law now?"

If it were a few months ago, he would have wished that Fu Guiyun would marry into the Earl's Mansion, but now she is his Crown Prince's Consort.

Fu Guiyun answered frankly: "It is precisely because he is my brother-in-law that I have to try to save him and the Earl's Mansion."

This statement was reasonable and Lu Linchu had no way to refute it.

He didn't believe that this woman wanted to save the Earl's Mansion of Changping without any selfish motives.

But just as she said, hundreds of officials came to the palace to ask for orders, and if the Liyang Palace stayed out of it, it would indeed attract rumors.

"Okay, since the Crown Prince's wife has spoken, there is no reason for me not to go."

Lu Linchu sneered and agreed, but then changed the subject: "But I want the Crown Prince's wife to face a question from this Crown Prince."

Although he knew that his question would be tricky, Fu Guiyun still said without showing any weakness: "Sir, please speak."

"If it was me and Song Weizhao who drowned in Dusi Lake that day, who would your princess save first?" Lu Linchu stared at her closely, eager to know the answer.

Fu Guiyun and he looked at each other in bewilderment, and some past events came to her mind. She pouted and replied, "The prince is my husband. If you and Song Weizhao are really so weak that you can't take care of yourselves, I should naturally put my husband first, both in public and in private."

There is really no reason for him to be so jealous.

From the moment she chose the palace, the entire Liyang Palace became everything to her.

"Guiyun, I believe you."

Looking at her unconcealed and sincere expression, Lu Linchu gradually recalled everything she had done for the palace, and his heart was filled with warmth.

He slowly stood up and walked to her, then Lu Linchu suddenly picked her up.

The two looked at each other closely, each in silence.

But after putting Fu Guiyun on the bed, Lu Linchu never felt any of her inner ups and downs.

He believed that this woman was truly devoted to the palace, and he even believed that she would be truly loyal to him.

However, based on his understanding of women, a girl from a noble family like the Crown Prince's Consort should never be so calm on her wedding night.

It's like a pool of stagnant water.

Could it be that she was born with this cold personality?

Full of confusion, he leaned one hand on the pillow and looked down quietly at the exquisite face in front of him.

"My Lord, do you have anything to say to me?" Fu Guiyun asked him softly.

Lu Linchu remained silent and tentatively put his other hand on the girdle around her waist.

Just when he was about to untie the ribbon, he suddenly felt guilty like a playboy who was flirting with a lady from a respectable family, and immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Go to sleep."

After giving a faint instruction, Lu Linchu stood up, blew out the candle in the room, and lay down beside her.

Fu Guiyun has always been an obedient person. When he asked him to go to sleep, he did not act pretentiously and fell asleep immediately.

Lu Linchu lay beside her, and there was no movement for a long time. He knew that she had fallen asleep, so he sighed helplessly: "You are good in every way, but you lack some fun."

It was the first time that Fu Guiyun heard him say this about himself. He was quite happy and replied in his heart: "The interesting ones either lie in a coffin or are thrown into a mass grave by you. As for me, I just want to live a good life."

Although Lu Linchu was still a little annoyed, he understood how hard she worked in running the palace all day and did not have the heart to disturb her. He carefully covered her with a quilt and fell asleep.

When they woke up the next day, both of them were as normal as ever. Fu Guiyun personally helped him put on his court robes, and then they went to Changchun Palace together.

Ye Zhilan had been waiting in the main hall early in the morning. Seeing his son and daughter-in-law coming to the palace to pay respects, he was delighted but could not help but blame Lu Linchu: "If you, this evil creature, had known how to cherish your blessings earlier, there wouldn't have been so many troubles in your mansion."

Hearing that his mother was talking about Aunt Ji, Lu Linchu felt guilty and did not refute: "I have failed my mother and the Crown Prince's Consort."

Seeing him suddenly become so docile, Ye Zhilan was surprised and happy, and kept looking at his daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law's talent was indeed amazing. She made her son sensible and well-behaved in just one night.

I also heard that this evildoer had recently brought another woman back, so I patiently advised him, "Yun'er has never been jealous or favored. The two concubines I brought for you are not only kind-hearted but also well-behaved. You should take good care of them and not bring any random people into the house."

Realizing that his mother already knew about Jiu Niang, Lu Linchu quickly explained: "Jiu Niang..."

Ye Zhilan couldn't stand hearing about Jiuniang, so he immediately rolled his eyes at him. Lu Linchu had to change his words: "Wanniang is just a washerwoman by the Wei River. I felt sorry for her and wanted to give her some money to help her get by, but she refused. That's why I brought her back to the mansion to settle her down."

"You bastard, you look at everyone who is not pitiful, but you only don't feel pity for your own prince's wife."

Ye Zhilan cursed angrily. Seeing that it was already late, he was too lazy to say anything more and urged him harshly, "Hurry up and get back to the palace."

As he was about to return to the south, Lu Linchu didn't want to give the little emperor any more trouble, so he hurried out of Changchun Palace and went straight to the Forbidden City.

Although Ye Zhilan was fierce when she scolded her son, her expression changed immediately as soon as Lu Linchu left. She smiled and pulled Fu Guiyun towards the dormitory.

Seeing her rosy face, she guessed that she had gotten along well with the rebellious son last night, and happily asked Madam Jiang to bring out a sandalwood box.

It contained the house deeds and land deeds of her fifteen farms and nine shops in Yicheng, Jiangzuo, and they were all handed over to her daughter-in-law.

"A while ago, my mother heard that you promoted You Dian and gave him the farm from your dowry. It is true that managing such a large palace is full of human relationships, but you cannot violate the ancestral teachings. At any time, you cannot use the dowry of the women to pay off the debts of favor in the palace."

By saying this, Ye Zhilan seemed to be teaching by example.

She had always kept public and private affairs separate during the years she had been in charge of the palace. Not to mention that her daughter-in-law came from a noble family and her dowry would not be as generous as her own, so she would never let her set a bad example for future generations.

Fu Guiyun was well aware of the reason behind this. The Lu family had been a famous family for hundreds of years and they placed the greatest emphasis on character. Even Lu Linchu, although a little naive in matters between men and women, had the same good upbringing as the children of aristocratic families.

"Yun'er, your ability has never been doubted by your mother. However, no matter how strong one's ability is, one cannot do it alone. The maids around you are old after all, and they can only help you to a limited extent. What your mother can give you is just these mundane things."

Patting the box she was holding, Ye Zhilan warned her earnestly, "When you go to Liyang City, you can keep anyone you like by your side, but if you want to keep someone, you can't do without these mundane things."

The logic was explained so clearly that Fu Guiyun could understand that his mother-in-law wanted him to cultivate some confidants and use them for her own purposes.

"My daughter-in-law has taken note of it."

The mother-in-law's trust in him grew deeper and deeper. All Fu Guiyun could do was to remind himself secretly that he must manage the palace better and better.
