Ever since the day when Concubine Beijing came to the Lin Mansion, the rumors in the capital about Prince Beijing and Princess Le'an had subsided a lot. It was clear at a glance who was behind the trouble.

After returning home, Concubine Beijing criticized Prince Beijing severely, and her words made no secret of her contempt for Lin Daiyu.

As a woman, how can you be so rude? It's really inappropriate.

Wielding swords and sticks is a man's job. If a girl is always picking up a sword and brandishing a knife, I wonder which family would dare to marry her.

At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the ladies from aristocratic families spread rumors of Lin Daiyu's heroic demeanor so miraculously that she did not sound like a real person. The Dowager Concubine Beijing had not seen it with her own eyes, so naturally she did not quite believe it and thought they were just repeating what others said.

But now she knew that what they said was true.

Concubine Dowager Beijing warned Prince Beijing without mercy, "Prince Beijing's wife must not be someone like Lin Daiyu. You'd better give up your thoughts as soon as possible. After a few days when the rumors die down, your mother will take a good look at you. I will definitely find a good girl who is beautiful, intelligent, dignified and polite."

But Concubine Beijing did not know that the reason why Prince Beijing was so infatuated with Lin Daiyu was, firstly, because of her talent and beauty, and secondly, because of the stunning glimpse he got of her at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.

From then on, Lin Daiyu was like a goddess in the sky in his heart, so how could he give up the idea in his heart just because of a few words from Concubine Beijing.

On the contrary, because of Concubine Beijing's description, he became even more yearning for Lin Daiyu.

As for those calculations, at this moment when what we want cannot be obtained, they seem insignificant.

After the concubines in Prince Beijing's mansion were dismissed, they felt less troubled. Prince Beijing smiled and said, "Mother, you don't know, this is exactly what makes Her Royal Highness the Princess so lovable. If she were just an ordinary woman, how could her son miss her for so long?"

Prince Beijing looks polite, but he is actually a man with very correct ideas. Once he has made up his mind, even the Concubine Dowager Beijing cannot persuade him.

But when she thought of Lin Daiyu's fierce methods, Concubine Beijing's eyes went dark. If she had such a powerful daughter-in-law, would she still have a say in this mansion in the future?

Concubine Beijing felt cold in her heart and tried to struggle one last time, "But you have to know that the Lin family has only one son for generations, and it is difficult to have an heir. If the princess is also like this, what will happen to our palace in the future?"

Prince Beijing was now completely bewitched by Lin Daiyu and could not listen to her words at all. He just replied casually, "It's not like there is no one, so it doesn't matter if it's just one person."

No problem?!

If it wasn't for the need to maintain her dignity, Concubine Beijing would have screamed out loud at this moment. What does "no hindrance" mean? The ancestral foundation passed down for generations, in the mouth of this brat, only the word "no hindrance" remained.

Outrageous!

She could almost foresee that if she had a dispute with Lin Daiyu after she entered the mansion, this unfilial son would definitely side with his wife.

The Queen Mother of Beijing didn't care much about this. What she cared about most was the foundation passed down from generation to generation in the Beijing Palace.

But this unfilial son has obviously been drugged and will never wake up unless he is poured with some cold water.

"It's fine that you don't care about offspring, but don't you care about other things?" Concubine Beijing said leisurely, "I heard that the Lin family has a rule that you can only take a concubine after you are forty and have no children. If the princess can give birth, you can only take care of her for the rest of your life. If not, you have to wait until you are forty before you can take a concubine. Don't you care about this?"

He knows his own son well. Prince Beijing has the common problem of most men: he is fickle and easily bored with the old. He wants this and that, and he never has the time to settle down.

Isn't that how the concubines in the palace came about?

Concubine Beijing thought that this time she could finally wake up this unfilial son.

Prince Beijing was stunned. He really didn't know about these things. He suddenly felt hesitant. If he could only guard one beauty in the future, no matter how good she was, there would be a day when he would get tired of her.

But he would be reluctant to give up such a stunning beauty.

Prince Beijing said unwillingly: "The rules of the Lin family belong to the Lin family. My son is not a member of the Lin family, so he does not have to abide by them. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. There is no law that says a son-in-law must abide by the rules of his father-in-law's family."

"Really?" Concubine Beijing sneered, "You are a prince, but she is also a princess. Her brother is the Marquis of Ning'an. The emperor is also aware of how much he values ​​you. If they force you to swear an oath, can you still resist them?"

Prince Beijing was silent. Yes, the Lin family was in the emperor's heart. He, as a prince, was noble in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the Lin family, he was nothing.

Concubine Beijing looked at his dejected eyes and couldn't help but laugh at him in her heart, but she put on a concerned expression on her face, "As a man, how can you be so dejected for a woman? Wait a few days, and your mother will personally help you choose a girl. You will definitely be able to find a girl better than her."

Men are always fickle, and she doesn't believe that if a good girl takes care of him and cares for him every day, this unfilial son will not be tempted.

Only the mother and son themselves knew about the conversation in Prince Beijing's Mansion. Lin Chengyu listened to the news that Fourteenth had inquired about, sneered a few times, and did not mention the matter again.

He is just a man with a lot of tricks in his mind, he should just stay where he wants.

Not long after, the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom sent an envoy to visit. Prince Beijing was good at socializing, so the Emperor sent him to greet her.

Lin Chengyu frowned. It seemed that this plot did not exist in the original novel. The country of Qianxiang appeared only a few times. It was counted once when Jiang Yuhan and Jia Baoyu exchanged handkerchiefs, and another time when Jia Tanchun got married. However, there was no mention of the visit of the envoy from the country of Qianxiang.

It may be that Cao Gong did not write it, or it may be the butterfly effect.

Lin Chengyu knew that Qianxiang Kingdom was a country similar to the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West, but he didn't know why their people came here for no reason.

"Do you know why?"

When Lin Chengyu and Xuan Zheng were together, they seldom sat separately, and this was naturally the case now.

Xuan Zheng said: "I went to the palace a few days ago and heard my brother mention this matter. The Crown Prince of Qianxiang is very curious about the Central Plains, so he came to visit."

Lin Chengyu smiled, "What a perfunctory excuse."

"Who said it wasn't?" Xuan Zheng hugged him, shook his legs, and said, "We have sent people to keep an eye on him. He can't make any waves. He is a guest from afar, so we just need to treat him well."

Somehow, Lin Chengyu suddenly remembered a TV drama about real and fake princesses that she watched when she was a child, in which the prince and the royal guards accompanied a little princess from outside to play.

"The Emperor won't let you accompany him then, will he?"

Xuan Zheng laughed, "What are you thinking about? My brother has already assigned this matter to Prince Beijing. Besides, I don't have time to accompany the crown prince."
