As the conversation went on, the emperor still insisted, "Do you really not have any girls you like now? I heard that all the girls in your maternal grandfather's family are outstanding. Don't you have any that you like?"

Lin Chengyu shook her head, "In my heart, they are just like my own sisters."

Of course she is my sister. Lin Chengyu just likes women, but he will never fall in love with his own cousin. I don’t know what others think about this kind of relationship, but he can’t have any other feelings for her.

The emperor was not disappointed. Originally, he asked Lin Chengyu to enter the palace today not for this matter.

Xuan Zheng has been ignored by him these days. Although he knows it is not true, he still can't help but feel a little worried.

Xuan Zheng was used to being spoiled by him, so he might not be used to it if it suddenly became like this. He might be feeling sad in his mansion right now.

The emperor wanted to see Lin Chengyu just for this matter.

Lin Chengyu remained calm and said, "As the emperor said, the prince has been loved by the emperor since he was a child. For the sake of the overall situation, I have to temporarily ignore the prince. The prince is already a little sad, and with the cold words of those villains, the prince is embarrassed to say it, but I can see that he is unhappy."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Even if there is something going on between me and Xuan Zheng, those people can't say anything. Tell him when you go back. Once the matter is resolved, I will definitely help him get revenge."

Lin Chengyu said: "The prince is not angry because of those people's cold words. The prince is too broad-minded to be like this for such a small matter. It's just that they always say that there is no friendship between the emperor and the prince, so..."

When the emperor heard this, he felt even more distressed.

As he was speaking, a palace servant came to report, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine are waiting outside the palace."

"Let them in."

Jia Yuanchun and Fuqiu couldn't stand each other and treated each other like dust on the ground and ignored each other.

The palace maid who went in to inform them came out and respectfully invited them in.

Jia Yuanchun was of high rank, so she should have walked in front, but Fuqiu said, "The Sixth Prince hasn't seen the Emperor for a day, and he really missed him. The Imperial Concubine is always generous, so she won't compete with a child."

One day?

That was a really long time.

Looking at the ignorant child sucking his thumb in the palace maid's arms, Jia Yuanchun gained a new understanding of Fuqiu's shamelessness.

But there were many guards here, and she had always been known for her virtue and dignity in the harem, and she didn't want to argue with Fuqiu in front of so many people, so she let her walk in front with the child.

After entering, I found that Lin Chengyu was also here.

Jia Yuanchun was shocked.

Fuqiu bowed and asked curiously, "Who is this gentleman?"

The emperor said: "The son of Minister of Rites Lin Ruhai is also the cousin of the imperial concubine."

Fuqiu smiled and covered her lips, "Your Majesty, I feel that although the young master of the Lin family and the imperial concubine are cousins, they are quite different."

"Oh?" The emperor looked at Jia Yuanchun and then at Lin Chengyu.

In addition to her family background and literary talent, Jia Yuanchun was able to rise from a mere palace maid to become a royal concubine because of her outstanding appearance.

In the harem, apart from Concubine Li, few can compare with her.

She and Lin Chengyu are cousins, but they don't look alike.

The emperor smiled and said, "They are indeed different, but they are not siblings, so there is nothing strange about that."

"That's not what I meant." Fuqiu didn't read much, but she knew very well how to write the four words "arrogant because of favor". She never concealed her dislike for Jia Yuanchun, and gradually stopped hiding it in front of the emperor.

She gave Jia Yuanchun a provocative look, and her arrogant look made Jia Yuanchun's heart hang in the air. She didn't know what else would come out of her mouth. It was neither right nor wrong to be angry.

Although Fuqiu had given birth to a child, her unrestrained personality had not changed at all. "I feel that Mr. Lin is like a gentleman, like a pine orchid, and he looks like a man who behaves uprightly. But the imperial concubine seems..."

Lin Chengyu almost choked on the tea he took a sip of.

Gentleman?

This newly promoted Concubine Shu is really bold in speaking out.

No one has ever called him a gentleman, and those things about pine, cypress, and orchid make one's hair stand on end.

Fuqiu thought for a moment, frowning slightly, as if she didn't know what words to use to describe Jia Yuanchun. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by the sudden cry of a child.

Fuqiu hurriedly held the child and tried to coax him. After much difficulty, she finally managed to coax him. However, she seemed to have forgotten what she was going to say. She smiled shyly at the emperor and said, "It's all because of this disobedient little bastard. I finally managed to think of the words, but after being interrupted, I forgot them all."

After she finished speaking, she pushed the child forward and said, "Your Majesty, blame him if you want to. If he hadn't made such a fuss, I would definitely not have forgotten it."

The child was fair and cute, and was not afraid of people at all. He was not afraid even when being handed in front of the emperor. He smiled with his little mouth open.

The emperor said: "You are already a mother, but you are still so unreasonable. You have a bad memory and you blame it on your child."

Fuqiu smiled coquettishly, showing that she was fearless.

Jia Yuanchun's palms were about to be broken by pinching, but she could only keep a calm face.

She knew very well about Fuqiu's scheming and tricks. She just wanted to say that she was not an upright person. She had said so many unpleasant things, so what was missing?

What a villain, he becomes arrogant when he is in power.

But the emperor just couldn't see through it and was full of thoughts about such a despicable woman. It's really hard to understand.

The emperor suddenly changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, you came at the right time. I have something good to tell you. Please listen to it. If you think it is good, please help me persuade your stubborn cousin."

Jia Yuanchun was a little surprised. Lin Chengyu was just a commoner. How could he dare not listen to the emperor? Could he be so bold?

Things are different now. Prince Linhuai has lost his power. I'm afraid Lin Chengyu can no longer rely on him to do whatever he wants.

The emperor pointed at the stubborn Lin Chengyu and said, "I think he is old enough to get married. I just heard that there are two girls of the right age in your mother's family. Instead of choosing between families whose backgrounds you don't know, it's better to marry a relative. What do you think?"

At this moment, Jia Yuanchun's mind was full of thoughts, wondering what the emperor meant. "I... I have no time to think about these things these days because of my two children. If the emperor thinks it's a good idea, then so be it."

She looked submissive, but her words sounded reluctant.

"You like to have closer relatives, so I thought of arranging a marriage between Chengyu and your mother's family. Now it seems that I am just wishful thinking. Not only Chengyu is unwilling, but I can see that you are unwilling in your heart too." The emperor's eyes were cold, and everyone present was silent and held their breath.
