Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 980 Discussion in the Palace
Although the Queen Mother did not say anything, Chen Momo felt that the Queen Mother was in a much better mood and was relieved to keep working hard.

It was said that the emperor had inherited the wisdom and magnanimity of the queen mother, and if there was really a problem with the Gu family, it would have been discovered long ago.

Complimenting the two people in one sentence made the Queen Mother completely relieved. She scolded Chen Momo as a "slippery old man" with a sideways glance and continued to pick up the beads and spin them.

Chen Momo smiled and accepted it, knowing that this matter was a turning point.

Wangshu Palace.

Concubine Jade and her son were chatting and playing chess with Lin Jinyan, and when they were talking about something happy, Su'e said that it was the Imperial Guards who came to hurry them up, and their laughter suddenly stopped.

The little prince's face fell: "It's been an hour now. Sister Su'e, please go out and take a look. I'm afraid no one has come to pick up Sister Yan."

Su'e: "The messenger who just came in said that the soft sedan has arrived."

Concubine Yu: "Okay, don't make it difficult for Miss Lin."

The little prince nodded with reluctance, Lin Jinyan said a few words of comfort, bowed and left.

The little prince stood inside the gate and watched Lin Jinyan get on the sedan chair. He turned around listlessly until he could no longer see her.

He heard that the maid who sent him here said that the queen and the concubines were all at Fengqi Palace, so he sent Lin Jinyan directly to Fengqi Palace.

Lin Jinyan's guard was slightly relaxed, and when she heard the palace maid clinging to the sedan chair, telling her not to mention people and things related to Wangshu Palace, Lin Jinyan became even more convinced that the identity of the Concubine Jade was shady.

While thinking, the soft sedan suddenly stopped. Hearing the salute of the palace people, Lin Jinyan's eyes flashed brightly. She straightened her clothes and calmly got out of the sedan to salute. Before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted:
"Excuse me. Except for my physical discomfort, I always walk in the palace. You are picked up and dropped off in a soft sedan every time you enter the palace. Looking at your style, you are more noble than a princess like me."

Lin Jinyan bowed properly and then began to reply:
"The mother-in-law is so pity for my daughter's frailty. I am envious of the princess's good health."

The little princess's usual arrogant look showed rare peace:
"You all go down. I will have a few words with her alone, and we will go to Fengqi Palace with her later." The leading maid was a close confidant of Concubine Xian. She wished that the little princess had insulted Lin Jinyan and had a grudge against the Gu family and the Lin family. But he also knew that his master wanted to win over him and he had to protect him.

After blocking him for a while, he was scolded by the little princess, and Lin Jinyan was forced to nod, so he walked down the slope and said:
"This is not far from Fengqi Palace. The Queen and the Imperial Concubine are still waiting for Miss Lin. Please speak quickly, little princess."

"I feel a little bored at my mother's place. I just happened to bump into her when I was wandering around. I just wanted to say a few words. There's no need to scare me, I won't do anything to her."

Seeing the little princess and her entourage walking into the flower pavilion in the distance, the palace servants lowered their voices and whispered:

"Do you know about the little princess and Prince Rui of Pingnan?"

"Why don't you know? I heard that at that time, their clothes were soaked and they were close to each other."

"I saw Prince Rui accompanying Princess Pingnan to visit the Queen. The little princess must have seen Prince Rui at Fengqi Palace."

"Both of you are like that, will this meeting be about marriage?"

"No, I heard from the servant of Cuiwei Palace that Concubine Rou heard the palace people talking about the little princess and Prince Rui, so she pulled out her tongue and forbade anyone to mention it again. She obviously doesn't look down on Prince Rui."

"Why pull out your tongue? Princess Jin became pregnant before the marriage was discussed. Some people also talked about it in private, and the Queen just punished her and stopped mentioning it again."

"It's strange to say that a woman of such a high family background who has no sense of shame can become a princess without being beaten to death..."

Concubine Xian's maids turned a deaf ear to these comments, wishing they would spread the word more.
