But soon, the Lin family's limelight was robbed by the Jia family.Before this round of marriage craze subsided, there was an explosive news from the palace: the nobles Jia Shi and Shun Shujia had made great achievements in serving the emperor, and they were specially conferred the title of concubine and virtuous.It is not a strange thing for a concubine to be promoted to a position, but it is very surprising to be promoted from a nobleman to a concubine all at once, especially the title, and the word "virtuous" is also bestowed, even if it is a concubine who has been favored for many years. To be so favored.

As soon as this decree came out, the members of the Jia family, who were already arrogant, became even more unscrupulous.

Lin Yuxuan was not affected, even if he went to the Hanlin Academy every day to receive all kinds of envious and jealous eyes from the attendants, pen posts and Hanlin scholars, he was already calm and at ease. own business.Anyway, the princess's wedding has been prepared by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, so he just needs to prepare other things.

"Just now when I was going to prepare the dowry for the girl, I passed by the Rongguo Mansion. It was really magnificent. There was an endless stream of carriages and horses in front of the gate. It seemed that they all came to visit the second master of the Rongguo Mansion." Lin Hui took the blueprints to go. When Qiaozhizhai ordered someone to build Lin Daiyu's wedding flower crown, he went out for a walk, and he told Lin Yuxuan this way when he came back.

"There is a girl who is a concubine in the palace. No wonder the Jia family is so arrogant." Lin Yuxuan was not surprised at all, "But the emperor never likes collusion between officials and families, and the heir to the title of the Rongguo Mansion is a big family. These people just come to ask for help. What's the use of cursing?"

"Master can see clearly, but it doesn't mean that these people can see clearly." Although Mo Cheng didn't say much, he hit the nail on the head, "Some people don't turn back until they hit the south wall."

Lin Yuxuan nodded with a smile, lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea, and suddenly thought that after a while, the emperor seemed to be ordering all the concubines to go home to visit their relatives. At that time, the Jia family would definitely build a relatives garden, and I don’t know when Will people from Jia's family come to the door again to do something wrong?He frowned, and came up with an excellent idea, and said: "Go and find out if anyone has some well-made fans. If so, buy them for me no matter how much money they spend."

Lin Hui and Mo Cheng looked at each other, although they didn't understand why their uncle gave such orders, they still complied.

"Also, Lin Hui." Lin Yuxuan smiled jokingly, "It's time for you to prepare the bride price, and it's time for the precious pearl beside me to get married. If you don't mention marriage, I will only give her to someone else."

Even though Lin Hui is usually a very lively person, he was a little shy when he heard this, but in order to prevent his business from really being hugged by others, Lin Hui still hurriedly said: "I'll go back and tell my parents!" After saying that, he backed out somewhat restrainedly.

Lin Yuxuan laughed out loud.

Jia Yuanchun looked at herself in the diorama with satisfaction. The emerald double butterfly flower on her head was gorgeous in color, and matched with the golden hairpin inlaid with flowers and beads in her hair, it made the whole person more luxurious; There are three pairs of plum blossom drop earrings clamped on the beads, and a chain of south beads hangs around the neck, each of which looks exquisite and gorgeous.

"Your Majesty looks so pretty." Baoqin pinned the last beeswax bead flower on it, "The things sent by the House of Internal Affairs are good, and it complements your empress's white complexion. The Emperor will be very happy to see it."

"It's just your sweet mouth." Jia Yuanchun lingered at the jewelry on the dressing table. These things were something she had always envied and wanted when she was a nobleman, and now she finally got it.After thinking about it, Jia Yuanchun asked, "Did the emperor say where to rest tonight?"

"I heard that Concubine He is ill, and the emperor has gone to see her." Baoqin saw that Jia Yuanchun was a little unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "Why should you care, Concubine He is just a lingering sick bed even if he is favored, how can it compare to The empress is blessed? I heard from the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that this Western mirror is a fine piece of tribute from the foreign domain. Except for the emperor and the empress, only the empress has it. Doesn't this just show the emperor's deep affection for the empress?"

Only then did Jia Yuanchun smile, and carefully looked at the armor on his fingers. Seeing that they were all exquisitely made, he asked with a smile, "Where did Baochai go?"

Baoqin knew that Baochai was his master's cousin, and even though they were servants who served others, he couldn't regard her as having the same status as her, so he said, "Miss Baochai went to the kitchen and said she was preparing stew for the empress. .”

Jia Yuanchun nodded.In fact, it was thanks to Xue Baochai's ingenious plan that she was able to gain favor all of a sudden. First, he ordered people to take a lot of flower petals to bathe her, and then asked her to dress up and play a song " Acacia".These schemes are simple but direct. The emperor stayed in her palace for five consecutive days, and then moved to Fengzao Palace as a concubine.

"Baochai is my cousin, you tell the people below not to show her face, you know?" Jia Yuanchun now figured it out, his cousin is smart and smart, it is definitely beneficial to keep her by his side.Although her mother had said before that she would point Baochai to Baoyu, she didn't want to let Baochai out so early—as for Baoyu, at worst, she would just find a better girl for him.

"Yes." Baoqin replied, "It's just about the Xue family, do you want to tell Miss Baochai?"

Jia Yuanchun frowned, and thought for a while before saying: "Don't tell her yet. Xue Pan is a fugitive now, or a fugitive for murder. I will not let the people around me be contaminated with such things no matter what."

"Yes, the servant girl will ask the people below to silence first." Baoqin is indeed someone who has been with Jia Yuanchun for many years, "It's just that people outside Fengzao Palace talk a lot, and the servant girl will ask Miss Baochai to stay in the palace and don't step on it for now. Get out of the palace."

"Just go on as you order." Jia Yuanchun said, "Baochai is capable, so I will not treat her badly if she stays by Bengong's side."

Baoqin lowered her eyelids and pretended to be cute, but in her heart she felt sad for this cousin of the Xue family.They are obviously relatives, but how can one person be a high-ranking and virtuous concubine, while the other is a palace maid doing the work of serving others?The background of an imperial merchant cut off Miss Xue Biao's future.

After Xue Pan's case was re-investigated, the Ministry of Criminal Justice finally made a verdict on the day of the Great Cold.Although Aunt Xue spent a lot of money, Xue Pan still failed to escape this time and was sentenced to beheaded after autumn.It's just that the autumn of this year has passed, so the day of execution is set for the autumn of the next year, and he is still imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Aunt Xue was about to cry and go blind, and even those who prayed to God and Buddha could not redeem the verdict.It's not that she never begged her elder sister to go into the palace and tell Concubine Xiande to intercede for her, but Mrs. Wang was warned by Jiamu Haosheng, and she was thinking about it for fear of affecting her daughter. The future, simply to shirk.

Aunt Xue was angry and furious, she packed her bags and moved out of Rongguo Mansion overnight.The Xue family has plenty of places to live, so why send them under the fence?My daughter has entered the palace to serve my sister's daughter, so is it possible that I still have to hide in the Rongguo Mansion and be talked about behind my back!Aunt Xue sent a letter to Xue Bian asking him to come to Beijing to discuss whether they could get Xue Pan out of prison.No matter how bad it is, he can't really want him to lose his life, and cut off the line of the senior family of Xue!

Lin Yuxuan, on the other hand, enjoyed watching the play in the dark. He didn't know what the emperor meant, but he always felt that Xue Pan would not die so easily.If his little life is so easy to play, then the emperor's mind is too easy to guess.

"The Ministry of Rituals has already sent someone to measure the size of the main courtyard, and they only said that the furniture will be delivered after the furniture is finished." Mo Cheng said, "It's just that the princess originally had her own princess mansion, what do you think, sir? "

"The internal affairs of the Princess's Mansion are under the care of the House of Internal Affairs, so we don't worry about it any more than we do." Lin Yuxuan thought for a while, and felt that since this princess was going to be his wife, even though she had never met her before, she still wanted to show her affection, and said: " I drew a blueprint yesterday, take it and ask the master in the silver building to help me type it." After saying that, he took out a piece of rice paper, "It must be the best, and it doesn't matter if it takes a long time."

Lin Hui put it away and looked at it. It seemed to be a bracelet, so he put it into his sleeve and said, "I will do what the uncle ordered with my heart."

Lin Yuxuan teased, "I see that you have calmed down a lot, and you are indeed about to get married."

Lin Hui is now used to being teased by Lin Yuxuan, and his face has thickened, so he said disapprovingly: "Recently, Mr. Li's family often asks someone to deliver things to the girl, won't the uncle stop it?"

"If he likes to give it away, let him give it away. It's not out of the ordinary." Lin Daiyu is still young, and Lin Ruhai and Lin Yuxuan are also reluctant to let her go out so early. After discussing with the Li family, they decided to wait for Lin Daiyu to reach the age of 15. Passing the door.Lin Yuxuan was not that kind of feudal elder brother, so if Li Shen wanted to give his sister something to cultivate feelings for him, let him do it. Anyway, let Lin Daiyu develop some feelings for Li Shen.

After Lin Yuxuan let Lin Hui go out, he took out a book and flipped through it.It had already started to snow outside, and it was another year of cold winter, Lin Yuxuan silently flipped through the miscellaneous notes in his hand, usually slowly thinking about the next year.June next year will be the day of his wedding. It may be a good thing for him to have the additional status of royal consort, but it may also become a hindrance.What he has to do now is to hug the emperor's thigh tightly, so as to preserve the nobleness of the Lin family.

Now in the heart of the emperor, the four major families and King Zhongshun must keep an eye on them.King Zhongshun seems to have calmed down now, but the Zhen family is still entrenched in the Jinling area, and they have had good relations with the Jia family for generations, and they are quite powerful, so we have to be careful.Lin Yuxuan's eyes darkened for a moment, others spoke lightly, he alone would not be able to bring down the Zhen family and King Zhongshun, but he swore that he would never let anyone who dared to attack his father back then!
