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

Indeed, there was more than that. After the engagement between Princess July and Jiang Chi was concluded, Crown Prince Qin Yan and Lin Luoling took the crown prince's regulated carriage and returned to the crown prince's mansion under the protection of Silver Feather Guards He Hongkun and others.

The sky was filled with colorful clouds. After dinner, because Lin Luoling was suffering from a cold poison, the doors and windows of the hall were closed. Five charcoal basins were burning red charcoal, just like entering a steam room. Lin Luoling could not feel the warmth, but others could get prickly heat all over their bodies.

Therefore, on weekdays, Lin Luoling often asked Hualian and Xiangjin to take turns serving by her side to prevent them from overheating and fainting.

After closing the palace door, Crown Prince Qin Yan took off all his casual clothes and put on only the ice silkworm coat that Lin Luoling had personally sewn for him.

Qin Yan was afraid that Lin Luoling would send him to the study to cool down again, so he asked Manager Gu to soak the ice silkworm clothes in the ice pool for more than an hour in advance.

Unexpectedly, the ice silk clothes dried completely after being worn for less than a quarter of an hour, and sweat slowly flowed down his temples.

Qin Yan, who was playing chess with Lin Luoling, could only sigh and say, "I guess it was because I was wearing an ice robe and pretending to be cold. God punished me by letting you get the cold poison. You have to suffer like this. It seems that you really can't pretend to be sick in the future."

Lin Luoling burst out laughing. She knew that Qin Yan didn't want to leave and took all the blame on himself.

Therefore, she tilted her head, her calm eyes rippled with emotion, and said, "Since my husband said so, I will pamper you once, okay?"

It was rare to see Lin Luoling acting like a spoiled child, Qin Yan was very happy, he put his hand on the back of her hand, rubbed it, and said: "I risked my life to spoil you so that you are white and tender."

The words were said vaguely, but Lin Luoling, who understood, had a slight blush on her cheeks, which reflected the candlelight, making her look even more shy and lovely.

She stretched out her slender jade fingers, interlocked them with Qin Yan's, pinched the black chess piece, pretended not to understand Qin Yan's implication, and changed the subject to ask: "This time, the talent show was originally chosen for you, right?"

Qin Yan raised his other hand, gently scraped the tip of Lin Luoling's nose with his fingers, and said with a smile: "It's a bit sour! Yesterday I asked you, why didn't you tell me your true feelings?"

Lin Luoling's eyes flashed, she stared at Qin Yan, pursed her lips and did not answer.

Qin Yan then stopped smiling and said seriously, "They were not originally chosen for me. They were the daughters of third-rank officials who had reached the age of marriage but had not yet married. My father and grandmother had no intention of letting me take them as concubines. It was my father who paved the way for me."

"How do you mean?" Lin Luoling asked with some confusion. After all, it was difficult to figure out what Emperor Deshun and the Empress Dowager were thinking.

Qin Yan then explained to Lin Luoling in a concise and concise manner what Emperor Deshun was thinking.

Lin Luoling carefully pondered Qin Yan's words in her heart, and suddenly realized that Emperor Deshun deliberately did not make Concubine Jin the empress, and had no plans to enthrone anyone as empress in the future.

If Concubine Jin was canonized as empress, then Qin Yan would have to respectfully address Concubine Jin as mother whenever he saw her. In Emperor Deshun's heart, perhaps even if Concubine Li was canonized as empress, he would not tolerate Qin Yan calling someone else mother.

Furthermore, if Concubine Jin was canonized as Empress and gave birth to a prince, he would be the legitimate son. However, since Qin Yan was neither the legitimate son nor the eldest, the position of the crown prince would seem illicit.

Concubine Jin's brother and younger brother are both talented generals. They will gain military power in the future. When Qin Yan succeeds to the throne a hundred years after Emperor Deshun, there is no guarantee that Concubine Jin's brother and younger brother will not have ulterior motives.

With Concubine Jin's intelligence, she should understand what Emperor Deshun and the Empress Dowager meant.

The unmarried daughters of officials of the third rank and above in the court were chosen to enter the palace as concubines. The system of burying people alive with the dead had been in place since the founding of the Tianqi Kingdom. If the daughters of these officials were not favored by Emperor Deshun and gave birth to princes or princesses, they would face death.

In order to make Emperor Deshun favor their daughters, these officials would work diligently and help Emperor Deshun solve his problems so that he could favor their daughters. If they could give birth to a prince, they would at least have a fiefdom in the future, which would be a good thing for them.

Emperor Deshun's ideas went far beyond this. He took all the unmarried daughters of high-ranking officials of the third rank into the harem as concubines. No woman was allowed to remarry within three years. If an official below the third rank wanted to force his daughter to Qin Yan, officials above the third rank would stop him.

In this way, Qin Yan had no concubines or maids, and no officials could hinder Qin Yan from assisting in governing the country.

If there are enough food and grass, it will be enough to pacify the southern and northern borders within three years.

If Qin Yan had no more children, Emperor Deshun would consider letting Qin Yan select a concubine or maid to bear children.

Lin Luoling guessed that since Emperor Deshun would not allow those legitimate daughters to have children after they entered the palace as concubines.

Qin Yan did not explain it clearly to Lin Luoling, but Lin Luoling understood the good intentions of Emperor Deshun through his words. After Emperor Deshun died a hundred years later, Qin Yan could exempt these legitimate daughters from being buried with the emperor as they had no children. However, the beautiful girls selected by the prefectures to enter the palace would be included in the list of those to be buried with the emperor if they were of no use.

In this way, the third-rank official will definitely remember Qin Yan's compassion and call him a wise king.

Lin Luoling sighed in her heart that women sometimes have no choice, but Qin Yan seemed to see through her thoughts and sighed, "I am powerless to persuade my father to change his decision, but I can abolish the old system of burial with you after a hundred years. After all, you are the only concubine in my harem."

In fact, Lin Luoling knew that if the Tianqi Kingdom did not have concubines to be buried with the emperor, concubines would be selected to enter the palace before the emperor's death, and the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Bureau would also select a group of palace maids and eunuchs to be buried with the emperor.

Qin Yan said this to tell Lin Luoling that only if he succeeded to the throne and became emperor could he abolish the old system of burying the emperor with his dead.

Lin Luoling held Qin Yan's hand and said, "Father originally had very few concubines in the harem. People said that Father was a rare emperor who didn't like beautiful women. After a while, those legitimate daughters entered the palace, and the concubines also entered the palace. The harem suddenly became lively. I wonder if Father can get used to it."

Qin Yan looked at Lin Luoling with burning eyes, leaned over and whispered in Lin Luoling's ear: "My father and I both like beautiful women, but we don't like all kinds of beauties. My father gave the honor of being favored to my mother, and I give mine to you. You are the soft spot in my heart, and I will protect you well in this life."

Qin Yan no longer had the heart to play chess. He stood up and picked up Lin Luoling, whispering in her ear, "I can't warm your hands no matter what I do. I'm sure you're feeling cold too. I'll take off my clothes and help you keep warm."

The curtains trembled slightly, and the red candle burned out. Qin Yan gathered his black hair that was soaked with sweat, hooked his fingers on the curtains to leave a gap, and called Hua Lian to prepare hot soup.

After calling for water twice and soaking in the wooden barrel with Lin Luoling for a long time, Qin Yan kissed Lin Luoling's earlobe and said, "Finally, you are a little warmer."

After the voice fell, the sound of water was heard. Qin Yan took out a quilt, wrapped Lin Luoling in it, carried her to the couch, and spoke a few gentle words to her. Only then did Lin Luoling and Qin Yan fall asleep peacefully.

As Lin Luoling had expected, ten days later, the unmarried daughters of high-ranking officials above the third rank entered the palace. Emperor Deshun granted titles of consort to ten of them, and the rest were given titles of Zhaoyi, Jieyushi, Ronghua, etc. according to their fathers' official titles, for a total of twenty-seven people.

On the thirteenth day, all the beauties entered the palace, including thirty-eight beauties and talented ladies.

In addition, Concubine Jin was canonized as Imperial Noble Concubine Jinrong, and the sixty-six concubines in the harem filled up all the courtyards in the harem except the Jingshou Palace of the Empress Dowager and the Cold Palace.

Now, there was an endless stream of quarrels and fights for favor in the harem. Emperor Deshun pretended to be ignorant of it. The empress dowager said that she was old and had no time to take care of the disputes among the beauties in the harem, so she handed it all over to Concubine Jinrong to handle.

As a result, Imperial Concubine Jinrong was so busy dealing with the affairs of the harem that she had no time to ask the imperial physician to give her acupuncture. She just took two bowls of medicine every day to nourish her body.

The officials of the previous dynasty were diligent in their duties, and the disaster victims in the three states were quickly resettled. Good news about Concubine Jin's elder brother also came one after another from the southern border.

Emperor Deshun was overjoyed and appointed Concubine Jin's elder brother Yan Lu as the General of the Southern Expedition (fourth rank), and posthumously conferred the title of Marquis of Nan'an on Yan Lu.

Imperial Concubine Jinrong and Emperor Deshun were happily dining in Wan'en Palace, but Qin Yan was crying while hugging Lin Luoling.

It was just as summer passed and autumn arrived, and there were three consecutive rains in the capital. Lin Luoling, who was suffering from a cold, could not get warm even after soaking in hot soup and with ten basins of charcoal fire in the hall. He was so cold that his lips turned purple and even his voice trembled.

"Young Master Jiang, don't run. Allow me to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Shun, who was an excellent martial artist, could not catch up with Jiang Chi, who was flying like a shadow with his lightness skills.

Jiang Chi stopped in front of the bedroom door and said, "Your Highness, my sister's cold poison can no longer be delayed. I will personally lead the troops to go to Nanxiang Country to find an antidote."
