concubines are respected

Chapter 85
"Oh, is Third Sister crazy?" Although the news came suddenly, it was within expectation.

Lin Yinglu's husband's family was in decline, and the old matriarch hated her for eating inside and out, which almost harmed the imperial concubine, so she deliberately ordered not to take her in. She is alone and helpless, how can she live in peace.

Suxian thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea, "I'm going to see the old lady right now."

After speaking, Suxian quickly walked out of the room.

"Second miss, you are going to see the old lady at this time, maybe you want to help." Yanzi said anxiously.

"Now she is crazy outside, her words are meaningless, let's take her back to the mansion first." Suxian said softly without stopping her steps.

"Ah!" Yanzi stomped her feet in confusion, very puzzled by Suxian's actions.

The old lady's wing room

"If you're crazy, you're crazy. It's her own fault." The old lady leisurely trimmed the dead branches of the bonsai on the table in front of her with a small pair of scissors in her hand, and said indifferently.

"Having said that, Madam, have you ever thought about it, the third sister is suffering from hysteria now, isn't her speechless speech just the evidence you want?" Suxian stepped forward and picked up the dead branches that fell on the ground. He got up, put it in the bamboo basket containing miscellaneous things, and said softly.

Hearing the words, the old lady stopped what she was doing, turned around to look into Suxian's clear eyes, and said seriously, "The Wu family has fallen, and the third girl has also got what she deserved. Is this evidence still important? Besides Who would believe the words of a lunatic!"

Even though the old matriarch said so, he was very clear in his heart. Although the Wu family fell, it was just a scapegoat. Those who really did evil with Concubine Yuan were still at large and have not been punished.But facing Suxian, it is not convenient to speak, after all, it is unknown how much this girl knows.

Suxian smiled, "Important or not, the old lady wants to understand better than Xian'er. Xian'er thinks that, no matter what, the third sister is from the Lin family, if she is allowed to wander around insanely, it will be the loss of the Lin family's dignity." " As he spoke, Suxian took a step forward, whispering in a whisper, "And this matter..."

The old lady listened intently, her face changed again and again, her gaze at Suxian deepened, and she suddenly felt that the 14-year-old girl in front of her was as mysterious as a mystery.To be able to come up with such a method at such a young age, after careful consideration, it is indeed a clever plan.

"Based on what you said, I'll send someone to bring her back to the mansion." The old lady nodded and said in a deep voice.

Soon, the old matriarch sent several servants to bring Lin Yinglu, who was wandering on the street, back to the Lin Mansion, but they did not let her go back to live in the Pangzhi Mansion, but let her live in the main house on the grounds of her illness. In the courtyard of the back house.He also invited a doctor to prescribe medicine for diagnosis and treatment, and arranged several strong young servants to watch over him day and night.

The third aunt got the news, and went to her home several times to meet Lin Yinglu, but was blocked back.The old lady didn't pay any attention to this matter, she wanted to communicate with the old lady secretly, and she didn't plan to intervene in it.

After a while, it was getting closer and closer to the day when the fifth prince would choose a concubine.Suxian and Lin Zhilan have learned the rules by now, and Nanny Chen, who taught them the rules, retired and returned to the palace.

Seeing that the good days of the Lin family are approaching, Zijuan who lives in her own house is becoming more and more impatient. The old matriarch does not know what she is busy with these days. Speech, talking about saving his father from prison, so it is left and right, and the main point is not mentioned.Thinking of her father's suffering in prison, Zijuan became more and more restless.

"Miss, I heard from my uncle and master yesterday that my master's case is very difficult. According to them, the master will not be able to get out in three to five years." Maid Xiang'er said to Zijuan worriedly. speak.

"I've also heard this a little bit. It seems that uncle doesn't intend to help. Grandmother only wants to send the daughter of the Lin family to the imperial city to choose a concubine. How can she take father's matter to heart?" Zijuan wanted Crying without tears, I thought that going to my grandmother, with the status of the Lin family in the capital, would surely save my father from fire and water, but I didn't think that people would not take this matter to heart at all, so I lost my mind for a while.

"Miss, this servant has an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not." Xiang'er rolled her eyes and whispered.

"It's all over now, if there's anything you should say, tell me what you can do." Zi Juan asked anxiously.

Xiang'er listened to her and whispered for a long time.

Zijuan seemed to see the dawn, and finally regained her spirits, "This is a good idea."

"It's just that this matter needs the consent of the old lady, are you sure, miss?" Xiang'er said.

"I can't care about that much anymore. This is the only way to save my father right now." Zijuan spoke eagerly, not wanting to delay walking to the old lady's room for a moment, "Grandmother has always loved me, so I think she will agree."

While speaking, the master and servant walked around the forest and walked through the corridor to the old matriarch's wing.

After listening to Zijuan's words, the old matriarch took her soft little hand and said comfortingly, "Juan'er, it is not a trivial matter to be selected as the fifth prince concubine. It is a major matter for the royal family, and it is not a matter of which lady is to be selected. I can make the decision myself, but it can only be done by the emperor's decree. I can't make the decision for such a big idea."

"Grandmother, Concubine Yuan is a celebrity in front of the emperor. You just need to send her a letter and let her talk in front of the emperor. Juan'er has always heard that the five princes are both civil and military. The emperor thinks highly of it. If Juan'er is lucky enough to be associated with the fifth prince, he will be able to find a way to save his father and grandmother in the future, so you should go to Juan'er." Zi Juan's face was flushed with embarrassment, if it wasn't for saving her father, why would she be here? Brazenly begging the old matriarch to let her participate in the fifth imperial concubine's candidate.If other people don't know the inside story, they will definitely arrange for her a name that is eager to marry and dedicated to climbing the dragon and the phoenix.

The old lady frowned and fell silent.

She didn't know how Zijuan felt in saving her father.If there is no other concern about this matter, it would be fine for Concubine Yuan to be accommodating and add a name to the roster of ladies to be selected.

But the fifth prince was from the side of Concubine Lan and the Empress, not the prince who was in line with the Lin family. This time, the two girls from the side branch were allowed to run for the election, just to place pawns beside him and use it as eyeliner.In the future, when the third prince ascends the throne, the fifth prince will definitely have a hard time, and the people who marry into the fifth prince's mansion will not be safe.

From the current point of view, although marrying into the Fifth Prince's Mansion is glorious, it is actually a chess piece sacrificed for the Lin Mansion.Of course, the old lady would be happy to let the girl from the side branch do this kind of thing.But if she was asked to do it by her own granddaughter, let alone whether her delicate and weak appearance could work for the Lin family, Old Madam Shan would be extremely reluctant.

But... But how can such words be explained to Zijuan.

Looking at Zijuan's beautiful face, the old matriarch sighed, and said cruelly, "Concubine Yuan has a heartache, and she has no time for herself now. How dare I disturb her rest with these trivial matters. Besides, your father is guilty In terms of body, if you want to compare yourself with Zhen'er, your current status is the daughter of a criminal minister, how can you enter the palace to wait for election, Juan'er, you should give up this heart, at least your father's life is safe for the time being, If it is hard, it will be harder, and we will talk about it after a while."

Zijuan teardrops dripped down in strings, "After all, grandma still treats Juan'er as an outsider. When you entered the mansion that day, you clearly said that Juan'er would be a member of Lin's mansion in the future. Now you say that Juan'er is the daughter of a criminal minister. "..." At this point, Zijuan kept shrugging her shoulders, crying uncontrollably.

"Juan'er, how can I treat you as an outsider. I said that you are from the Lin family and enjoy the respect of the daughter of the Lin family. This is a certainty, how can you be joking..." The old lady saw Zijuan Weeping sadly, he repeatedly comforted her.

"Since this is the case, Juan'er is willing to continue under my uncle's name, change her surname to Lin, enter the Lin family book, and become a legitimate daughter of the Lin family. In this way, she will be eligible to enter the palace for election." Zijuan interrupted the old lady Taijun said eagerly.

To win the love of the fifth prince for his son, and to rescue his father after becoming a royal, Zijuan has reached the point of using any means.After finishing speaking, Zi Juan secretly said to the sky: Father, please forgive my daughter for being unfilial. My daughter did not intend to betray Guo's ancestors, but she did this to save you.

It's no wonder that Zijuan is so persistent. When she was in Wuzhou, she was famous for her beauty.These years, although Guo's mansion is not as good as every year, but his father has never been tired of cultivating her.The piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, flowers and red women's embroidery are all good at embroidery. Once upon a time, Guo's father also thought that if he had the opportunity to send her to the palace for a draft, he would revive the prosperity of the Guo family.

Unexpectedly, he is now in jail for committing a crime.But in Zi Juan's view, if she has the chance, the chance of being selected is definitely not small.That's why he would rather change his surname than enter the palace for a try.

Seeing that Zijuan insisted on insisting, the old lady's face suddenly collapsed, and she thought to herself, why doesn't this child understand my painstaking efforts, I did this for your own good.

"No, it's not child's play to continue joining the clan, how can you be so hasty!" The old lady's tone became much colder.

"Grandma, are you really not going to help Juan'er?" Zijuan whispered in despair.

"Forget it, there is no need to mention this matter again. You just need to remember that everything my grandmother did today is for your own good, and you will know in the future." The old lady interrupted Zijuan's words, her voice was slightly soft He said, "there are too many powerful princes and nobles in the court. If you want, I will arrange for you after the concubine election is over. I will let you marry a good family, and maybe your father's case will be the same." There are some benefits. But for the fifth prince, don't think too much about it."

The old lady has made it very clear that anyone can marry, but the fifth prince cannot be married!
After receiving such a decisive answer, Zijuan stopped crying and fell silent.

After being bored for a while, he said sadly, "Grandmother, it was Juan'er who lied just now. Juan'er just say goodbye, Grandma, please rest."

Afterwards, he took a deep breath and walked out of the room.

Stepping out of the room, Xiang'er, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly greeted her, "Miss, what's going on, did the old lady agree?"

Zijuan looked indifferent, and said resentfully, "Huh, what I said is nice, but after all, I am not from the Lin family. How can such a good thing let someone with a foreign surname get it. Forget it, she won't help me. I just have to figure it out on my own!"
