After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law

Lin Luoling suddenly realized why Prince An told her last night that he would ask Gu Shun to buy a plaque for the new palace. Why did Prince An attend the morning court for the first time today? Prince An must have known yesterday that Emperor Deshun would issue an edict at the morning court today to appoint Prince An as the crown prince.

Seeing that Lin Luoling was stunned, Shi Mi smiled and asked, "Are you here to pay respects to the Queen Mother, or to thank her?"

This sentence woke Lin Luoling up. Before she left the palace, the Empress Dowager gave her a jade box containing the seal of the Crown Princess. At that time, she was in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, wondering why the Empress Dowager gave her the seal of the Crown Princess since Prince An had not yet become the Crown Prince. If others saw it, it would inevitably cause trouble for her and His Royal Highness Prince An.

Therefore, she placed the jade box at the bottom of her jewelry box and allowed no one to open it.

I forgot to tell Prince An about this matter yesterday.

Lin Luoling understood Shi Mi's meaning, followed her words, and said with a smile: "Because of the Empress Dowager's appreciation, I returned to the new residence from Ningyuan Marquis's residence yesterday. I was afraid that I would disturb the Empress Dowager's good sleep by entering the palace suddenly, so I came to thank the Empress Dowager early this morning.

There is one more thing that I am undecided about, and I would like to ask the Queen Mother for her opinion."

When Shi Mi heard that Lin Luoling did not mention the fact that Prince An was made the Crown Prince this morning, and even though he had the Crown Princess's jade seal, he did not take it for granted, but instead came to discuss things with the Queen Mother, she was very satisfied and said:

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother happens to be free right now, and it would be boring to ask Suiyue to read ancient scrolls to her. It would be better for Her Majesty the Crown Princess to accompany her."

As they were talking, Shi Mi welcomed Lin Luoling into Jingshou Palace. The palace maids and eunuchs passing by were very observant. When they saw Lin Luoling, they bowed and greeted her, and changed their address to: Crown Princess Consort.

Lin Luoling was as approachable as usual, and she even let Aunt Shi Mi walk in front of her. She was only half a step away from Shi Mi, which made Shi Mi feel that Prince An really had a good eye and chose the right Crown Princess.

After entering the bedroom, the empress dowager, who was lying on the couch, saw Lin Luoling coming from the corner of her eye, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, waved her hand at Suiyue and said:

“Let’s stop reading here today.”

Suiyue put away the ancient scroll, bowed deeply to Lin Luoling, and said respectfully: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Crown Princess."

Lin Luoling helped Suiyue up and said, "My father hasn't bestowed the title yet, Miss Suiyue, please don't frustrate me."

Shi Mi helped the empress dowager to get up and sit upright on the couch, then a palace maid came to serve her tea.

After the maids left, Lin Luoling knelt down and said, "I know that the Empress Dowager is kind-hearted. She remembered that I had blocked the arrow for His Royal Highness Prince An, so she gave me such a valuable jade box before I left the palace. I was so shocked that I didn't know where to hide the jade box. I wanted to bring it to the Empress Dowager today, but I didn't know if the capital was peaceful. After thinking about it, I didn't dare to bring it with me."

The Queen Mother glanced at Lin Luoling, and then heard Shi Mi whispering something in her ear. Her solemn expression instantly turned into a kind one, and she said, "Since it's given to you, just take it. What? Don't you like the reward given by my family?"

Lin Luoling said honestly: "I am naturally delighted, but I am afraid that I am not worthy of it and have caused trouble for His Royal Highness Prince An and the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but take a deep look at Lin Luoling, and waved at her, saying, "Stand up and sit by my side."

Hearing this, Lin Luoling, with the help of Hualian, stood up and went to the Queen Mother's side. However, she did not dare to sit next to her, but stood respectfully.

The Queen Mother asked her, "Are you afraid of me?"

Lin Luoling looked at the Queen Mother, her eyes clear as if she could see what was going on.

She said: "Although I am the only daughter, my mother disciplined me very strictly. On weekdays, I rarely sit and chat with my father and mother. If my father and mother agree, they just give me a seat. I have never sat with my father and mother.

Although I have no blood relationship with the Imperial Grandmother, when I was in Jingtai Pavilion, I enjoyed her protection and she taught me many things about getting along with others and handling matters in the palace. To be disrespectful, I respect her three points more than my own teacher.

Therefore, I don’t dare to be frivolous and casual in my heart, not because I am afraid of the Royal Grandmother. "

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your mother is very strict with you. She has been naughty and willful since she was a child. The late emperor once intended to marry your mother to Prince Huaiqing, but your father got there first and was favored by Mr. He, and became his son-in-law."

The Queen Mother paused and continued, "Look at me, I am really old. This morning, His Majesty appointed Mr. He as the second-rank minister and governor-general. We should change the title to Governor-General He."

Lin Luoling was shocked that her grandfather was actually the Shangshu Governor-General, and Prince An had never mentioned this to her.

Shocked, the Queen Mother asked Suiyue to bring a brocade cushion next to Lin Luoling and let her sit down and talk.

The Queen Mother said, "During the morning court session, Prince An had already been named the Crown Prince. You had been studying by my side before, and I had secretly observed you for a long time. You had won my heart, so I gave you the jade box as a reward.

But last night, His Majesty came to Jingshou Palace to discuss with me, saying that the former Crown Princess' jade seal was damaged, and he had ordered the craftsmen to make a new one. Today, Yunxi will go to the Crown Prince's Mansion to read the imperial decree to appoint you as the Crown Princess, and the new Crown Princess' jade seal will be sent to you soon."

Hearing this, Lin Luoling immediately understood one thing. The jade seal for the Crown Princess that the Queen Mother gave her was fake. She just wanted to see if she would behave differently after getting the seal.

Although she understood the intentions of the Queen Mother and Emperor Deshun, Lin Luoling could only pretend ignorance and asked when she would return the jade box to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said, "This is a gift from me. Please keep it as a keepsake. You don't have to send it back."

This was clearly meant to remind Lin Luoling to be alert at all times that the seal could be fake and could be taken back at any time. Even if she became the queen one day, she must not speak or act recklessly.

Lin Luoling bowed to the Queen Mother, thanking her in her heart for reminding her.

After sitting down again, knowing that the Queen Mother was an extremely shrewd person, Lin Luoling did not beat around the bush and explained that Prince An had asked her to prepare an engagement gift for Princess July and Jiang Chi, but she didn't know what to give, so she came to ask the Queen Mother for advice.

The Queen Mother said: "Yu'er and Jiang Chi seem to have nothing missing. I will not leave out anything that should be prepared for Yu'er's wedding.

You are a smart woman. You have to understand one thing: when your feelings are deep, even if you carefully prepare a cup of tea for him, the taste of the tea will be extremely sweet.

If there is no true feeling, even if you spend a lot of money to buy a pound of tea and brew it yourself, the other party will still suspect that you have poisoned the tea.

So, it doesn’t matter what gift you prepare, what’s important is this…”

The Queen Mother stretched out her finger and tapped lightly on her heart.

Lin Luoling immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant, "I will definitely keep your advice in mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Zhong quickly walked into the hall, knelt on the ground, and breathlessly reported: "Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin... His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin..."
