Chapter 57 Lin Xiao sent a layer of feathers to Concubine Hui to banish the little palace maid

Chapter 57 Lin Xiao sent a thousand layers of feathers to Concubine Hui and sent a little maid to exile

A few days later, Lin Xiao sent someone to deliver a piece of thousand-layer goose feathers.

The goose feathers had a unique texture, purer than snow, flawless and translucent, as pure as fine mutton-fat jade. Furthermore, they were incredibly light, appearing almost imperceptible, and could drift gracefully even in the gentlest breeze. Truly a rare wonder in the world.

Lin Xiao stated in the letter that the goose feather was brought from afar by the deputy general on the border.

"This rare item perfectly complements the girl's charming appearance, so I didn't delay for a moment and quickly sent it to her. - The brave and warlike Lin Xiao"

Yun Jin couldn't help but chuckle and said jokingly, "It's very strange. It's the hottest time of year, and the sun is scorching, but the second young master sent goose feathers. This is really a unique idea." After saying this, her eyes were full of teasing.

Aunt Zhuang nodded slightly, a smile on her face, and slowly said, "You are truly young at heart, completely sincere, caring about your beloved without hiding anything. Such straightforward affection is rare nowadays."

Her words showed both admiration for Lin Xiao and emotion for this pure love.

Yunshan's cheeks flushed slightly as she listened to the two people's banter, but a warm feeling surged in her heart. She couldn't help but think of Lin Yu's earnest advice to her a few days ago. Those words were like a bright light, illuminating the confusion in her heart.

After thinking it over again and again, she moved to the table, spread out paper and ground ink, picked up the pen and pondered, and thanked Lin Xiao.

After writing, she took out the sword tassel she had painstakingly made for Lin Xiao yesterday. The tassel was brightly colored and finely crafted, with the interweaving of silk threads showing ingenuity.

She carefully wrapped the letter and the sword tassel and handed them to the eunuch who came to deliver the goose feather.

"Eunuch, please pass this on to me." Yunshan said softly with a gentle smile on her face, and handed over a heavy silver coin. "I hope you will accept this gift."

The young eunuch took it hurriedly, with a smile on his face, and nodded repeatedly.

Lin Xiao openly offered Yunshan gifts several times, without any concealment and with extraordinary extravagance. Such a blatant pursuit quickly spread throughout the palace, becoming known to everyone.

After hearing this, the eldest princess thought that since the two of them were in love, Yunshan would not pose a threat to her relationship with her husband, so she stopped deliberately making things difficult for her.

On Yunshan's side, after sending the letter and sword tassel, a hint of anticipation actually arose in her heart.

She didn't know how Lin Xiao would react after receiving her return gift. Would he be delighted? Or would he laugh at her poor handwriting? Her heart was beating like a deer.

When I close the medical book at night, I will think of his ardent gaze, and the feelings in my heart will grow quietly without me noticing.

Time goes by day by day, and in the autumn afternoon, the sunlight shines through the mottled shadows of the trees, casting fine shadows.

A fiery red maple leaf slowly fell into the palace gate.

At this time, Yunshan was concentrating on arranging the teacup. Her slender fingers lightly touched the edge of the teacup. Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of the maple leaf and was suddenly delighted. She felt that the color of the maple leaf was bright and eye-catching, and there was a touch of spirit.

She leaned over slightly and picked up the maple leaf carefully, as if she was afraid of disturbing the small red leaf, then turned and walked towards the ear room.

In the ear room, the medical books sent by Lin Xiao were neatly placed on the desk. She gently opened one of them. The yellow pages were slightly curled up due to being repeatedly read, and exuded a faint scent of ink.

She gently tucked the crimson maple leaf into the book and read quietly, a smile on her face. The slightly curled pages and leaves created a unique charm, just like the unique poetry of autumn.

Just as I closed the door of the ear room and was about to turn around and leave, I heard Aunt Zhuang's slightly panicked voice: "Oh my god, this is terrible!"

Yunshan was startled, her brows furrowed slightly. She hurried forward, her eyes filled with anxiety, and asked anxiously, "Aunt, what happened?" Aunt Zhuang shook her head slightly, her face full of regret. She slowly said, "A little maidservant of Concubine Hui, named Yao'er, I don't know what she did wrong, but... Alas."

"Granted death?!" Yunshan widened her eyes, her eyes full of shock, and her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

"That's not the case. I'm afraid it's even more terrifying than death." Aunt Zhuang sighed, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.
"That Yao'er was paired with a beggar who was over seventy years old!"

"Ah?! How does Concubine Hui know about the old beggar?" Yunshan covered her mouth with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Alas, some servant must have come up with such a bad idea to please the master! Poor Yao'er, only fifteen or sixteen years old, in the prime of her life, yet she has suffered such a misfortune."

As Aunt Zhuang spoke, her eyes gradually turned red, and crystal tears rolled in her eyes. Then she couldn't help but shed tears:
"If her parents knew about this little girl, they would be heartbroken..."

Yunshan's heart ached. She knew Aunt Zhuang also had a daughter about Yao'er's age, and she must have felt the same way. So, she gently patted Aunt Zhuang's back and said in a soft voice, "Aunt, don't be too sad."

"Aunt, can you find out what happened to Yao'er that led to this end?"

"This is really strange." Aunt Zhuang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and shook her head.
"I've asked several people, but no one knows. I only know that Yao'er was summoned by Concubine Hui early in the morning. I don't know what they said in private, and then Concubine Hui got furious and sent her away directly."

"Something big must have happened."

When Lin Yu slowly regained consciousness, Yunshan did not dare to delay and quickly told her the truth about Concubine Hui's treatment of the young palace maid Yao'er. When Lin Yu heard this, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and her face was full of shock.

"Yao'er? This maid wasn't brought by Concubine Hui from her parents' home as a dowry, but was assigned by the palace. According to palace rules and etiquette, even if she were to be punished, the Empress's attendant Aunt Dianyi should have been notified. How could she act so arbitrarily?"

Lin Yu's tone was filled with doubt and dissatisfaction. He shook his head slightly, as if he was quite puzzled by Concubine Hui's behavior.

Yunshan nodded slightly and continued, "So, there must be some unspeakable secret hidden in this, and they are afraid that the Queen will find out."

Lin Yu sighed softly, his expression slightly solemn, and he spoke slowly: "In the past few months, Concubine Hui has not made any major moves. I thought she had restrained her edge and learned to keep to herself. Now it seems that it is only calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging."

"Your Majesty is right. There has been no movement from Concubine Yang these days. She and Concubine Hui live so close to each other, yet they have been able to coexist peacefully for several months. It's truly unusual."

Several people analyzed it one after another, but they still couldn't figure out the reason.

"Forget it. We won't worry about her palace affairs. But we need to be careful these days. I'm worried something might happen."

 My Love

  The maidservant in the palace was as thin as a piece of straw, but her cruel master sent her a poisonous message.

  Kneeling down to beg for mercy, she was frightened and demoted to a concubine, breaking her dream.

  The seventy-year-old old man got married, and his tears and white silk stopped the passing years.

  Unfortunately, fate is beyond our control, and we can only sing sad songs and sigh in pain all night long.
